The Garden of Good and Evil, which rushed over at midnight with a surging momentum, wilted under the negative reviews of fans, and even the director himself did not expect to be so "crusaded".

It's not without praise, at least Cooper praised the film for the sake of that little bit of caution in his heart. It is said that it tells a profound story with a picture full of southern style, and the film that combines elements of same-sex, crime, thriller, suspense and so on presents the complexity of love-hate entanglement and human nature in front of the audience.

also said that director Eastwood deserves to be the best director who won the Oscar, and the profundity of the film is not at all comparable to a small director who has made two low-budget horror films.

And who the little director he vaguely hinted at, I believe no one will not be able to see it.

Leila put down the New York Post and tapped her fingers on the steering wheel in contemplation.

According to her original plan, she didn't care about any awards or awards before the age of 30, and just blindly buried herself in making money first. Wait for your wallet to bulge before you make some award-winning movies to hit Hollywood's awards season.

Because she knows very well that she is destined to not get any awards like Best Director at her age, which has nothing to do with the movies she makes, and is completely caused by the outdated thinking of the judges. The average age of the thousands of judges at the Oscars is in their 60s, and only 14% are younger than 50.

But seeing Cooper blindly touting Eastwood from the awards and belittleing himself as worthless, Leila was really unhappy.

After thinking about it for a while, she felt that she might have been on the tip of the bull's horns, why did she set her sights on the best director from the beginning? If there was no benefit of rebirth, even if she daydreamed in her previous life, she would not dare to dream that she would be on the Oscar and win the best director.

The reason why she dared to reciprocate that award at the age of nineteen was that she relied on the fact that she was born again?

In her previous life, she endured and struggled for so long in order to make a movie, and in order to win sponsorship, she used cannibalization to achieve her goal bit by bit. Although the ending was very chilling to her, she still did it after all, didn't she?

So why can't she do it again in this life? It's no longer as simple as making a movie, but the ideal of winning the world's No. 1 director crown!

In this life, she has too many superior conditions compared to her previous life, and it is okay to raise the ideal height. Since Cooper used the fact that she couldn't get the award to irritate her, let her use the trophy to smash him in the face!

Leila tossed the newspaper aside, her ice-blue eyes glinting with an inexplicable light. Just let him jump for a while, no matter how much he says to such a person, it is better to slap him in the face with actual results.

Smiling silently, she started the car and set off again, completing her journey.

And while she was enjoying the happy time, S's second week box office results came out, and she once again won the weekly top of the North American weekly box office chart with $30.54 million.

This is a remarkable achievement, you must know that this is the second week, and there is a (pseudo) strong enemy Midnight Garden of Good and Evil to grab the box office, to be able to win such a result can be said to have shocked countless people's jaws, and even some film critics who are not optimistic about S have honestly shut their mouths.

Although compared with more than 20 million two days before the release, the box office of 30 million has dived a little. But that's not entirely a problem with the quality of S, it's the Midnight Garden of Good and Evil that still has some bad effects on it.

The Oscar-winning director and actor, and the adaptation of the film that has been selling well for 5 consecutive years, these alone are enough to make many fans interested in watching it, and even the owners of theaters are very optimistic about it.

For them, S is just a low-budget horror film, made by a nineteen-year-old girl. Perhaps the witch Blair did cause a movie-watching trend and won more than 300 million box office worldwide as a dark horse, but no one can guarantee that the first successful person and the second part will also be successful.

Therefore, many theater owners who think they are very smart have chosen to reduce the number of screens in S in the second week and allocate them to the Midnight Garden of Good and Evil, while some simply only signed for a week, ready to leave all the screens for Midnight, which is a big hit.

As a result, there were more than 1,800 screenings at the time of the opening, and it was reduced to more than 1,300 in the second week, but it still won more than 30 million US dollars.

The theater boss, who has only signed for a week, was also surprised when he saw the results of the first four days, and some people couldn't help but regret it, but they still pinned their last hope on Midnight, hoping that it could inherit the impact of S and make a good profit for them.

And the Midnight Garden of Good and Evil premiere did score a good 7 million, although it is not as fierce as S, but it is also quite a bright result in this off-season. But no one thought that the second box office would directly dive by 50% and only win more than 3.5 million, accompanied by bad reviews from the audience and fans.

The theater bosses were dumbfounded, and what about the Oscar-winning film? Why did it collapse the next day?

This is only the second day, and on the third day, there are only a pitiful more than 1 million. It can be expected that this film can only use CDs to earn back its costs in the future, and the box office won, I am afraid that even the remuneration of the actors and directors will not be enough.

At this time, the theater owners vomited blood, and they scolded the midnight garden of good and evil. I knew that it was such a pit, even if they begged their grandfather to tell their grandmother, they would have to sign S for a few more weeks and add a few more screens!

Seeing that there are only three or two kittens in the theater at home, and half of them are dozing off, and then watching the theater showing S on the opposite side is full, the bosses of some theaters really want to cry without tears.

It's a pity that even if they want to regret it, they are subject to the contract they signed, and they have to drink the bitter wine they brew with their eyes closed.

Knowing these things, the Immortal Bird Company snickered for a long time. If you don't sign us, you should!

In just a few days, Louise received calls from many theaters, hoping to sign the screening rights of S again. Of course, she is happy to accept this, business is business, even if the other party rejected them at the beginning, she will not refuse their cooperation again because of this.

When you can make money, you will work hard to make money, and no one will have a grudge against money, right?

But Louise didn't agree so easily, and she took the opportunity to not only negotiate a good price, but also talk about the screening of Leila's third film, "The Grim Reaper". It's a pity that there is another "Alien 4" that is about to be released, and this movie that is destined to be a big hit makes theater owners more cautious when negotiating with the immortal bird, otherwise Louise can win more screens.
