Chapter 127: Finding Cooper
When the entire Immortal Bird Company was running at high speed because of Leila's two big plans, S's box office quietly came to the incredible number of 100 million.
An R-rated horror film with a cost of more than 2 million US dollars has quietly achieved 100 million, which makes those so-called big productions deal with themselves? Look at the 70 million cost of Alien 4, now it has just won less than 4000000 and is about to squeeze out any box office, so it can only pin its hopes on overseas screenings and CD peripherals.
And with the confirmation of the figure of 100 million, a campaign called "Looking for Cooper" has also quietly launched among fans and the public.
Since the paparazzi revealed that he disappeared from his home a few days ago, Cooper has been in a state of inconsistency. You must know that he is saddled with a big hit news, and whoever can find him first is equivalent to digging a huge gem. But even so, the vast number of reporters who can be called supernatural have not found any information about him.
Until......
He showed up!
Several paparazzi were shocked, but they still subconsciously picked up the camera and recorded him standing on the balcony on the second floor, holding a cup of coffee, and with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.
It's incredible that a few days after the paparazzi did everything possible to confirm that he had left the house, he himself reappeared on the balcony as if he had never left. And from his expression, it can't be seen that he is being troubled by a gambling contract with a box office of 100 million, but as if he has just returned from vacation, he only feels that he is as leisurely as if he is sprinkled with sunshine.
What the hell is going on?
"Mr. Cooper, can I ask where you have been these days, and what do you think of the fact that S has exceeded 100 million at the box office?"
A daring paparazzi asked questions directly outside the courtyard of Cooper's house.
And all that answered him was a breezy smile and a dashing back.
He didn't have the time or mood to play with them now, these tabloid paparazzi were not looked at by him at all, only those influential media were what he needed, and only they could become collaborators in the big project he was about to complete in the near future.
And his refusal to answer did not surprise the paparazzi, who did not suspect the possibility that "he actually did not leave the house" these days, because they used some shady small means to confirm the news of his departure. But how the hell did he disappear and come back?
The paparazzi can't find any reliable information, but they are paparazzi, not journalists, and what they need is an imaginative brain, not so-called real evidence.
So all kinds of speculations may have been written by the paparazzi in various tabloids, the reliable theory of what agents helped, the unreliable theory of aliens, and the closest to the truth of the authentic theory was also written, but compared to other more eye-catching arguments, it was the most inconspicuous one.
The upsurge of public opinion has reached a ** from Cooper's appearance, and everyone wants to know what happened to that bet, whether it will be fulfilled or will it be ruined.
Because of the attention she received, more and more paparazzi and reporters were watching her in front of her company, and even the staff who came in and out were harassed. In order to keep the company's work running smoothly, Leila paid a few questions to the outside reporters in exchange for an agreement not to surround the company, and promised that if they didn't fulfill by then, they would never want to get any news from the company and her mouth.
If another person said this, neither the reporter nor the paparazzi would have taken it to heart, but who said that it was Leila who said this? With such a Moran Media Group behind it, no matter how arrogant the media people are, they have to weigh it.
So on a sunny afternoon, Leila showed up in front of the company and held an impromptu mini-press conference.
"Director Moran, what do you think of Cooper's recent disappearance?" a reporter preemptively asked before the start was announced.
The reporter, who was apparently a novice, was immediately glared at by a group of people, who wished that he was the first to ask the question if he was the one who broke the rules, but when the first one was not himself, it was too infuriating.
Louise frowned and was about to say something, but was stopped by Leila raising her hand. She was in a good mood today and didn't care about such a little unruly.
"Since I asked, I'll say a few words. I've been on vacation lately, and I haven't been back in Hollywood for a few days, so I don't know much about Mr. Cooper. ”
Well, this is pure nonsense with eyes open, and no reporter will believe what she says, but who told her to say that, you can't point to her nose and say that she is lying.
The press conference will begin after Louise's brief explanation. She also talked about some basic things that a reporter needs to pay attention to, such as a reporter will only answer one question, and to follow order.
In fact, this kind of improvised, street-based press conference is the most humble kind. In other words, those reporters are too lazy to come forward, because it really damages their identity, and only those young reporters and paparazzi who can't find big news will like such a scene.
But this time it was different, Leila Moran, who had always lived in seclusion and was so mysterious that she couldn't do it, was finally willing to stand up and answer a few questions, even if it was a big-name reporter who could rush over. It's really that all the topics around her are too hot, and digging up it may be a crazy treasure.
"Director Moran, do you think Cooper will honor your bet?" a reporter hurriedly asked his own question after announcing the start.
"That's his business, I don't know much about him, and I don't know if he's the same person as the movie reviews he writes. So I can't answer that question. ”
Leila's words made many onlookers and those who knew the inside story laugh.
Cooper's film reviews are good for other films. But since Leila came out, some careful people have found that he has been attacking the movies produced by the Immortal Bird for a long time, whether it is R or Rating, as long as it is the company's films, they are all marked by him as bad movies.
In the past, not many people paid attention to this, because it was a relatively small company, and it produced small films that were not very good on the stage. But now it's different, Layla has become the new head of the Immortal, and the two movies she made are still being hacked to death by Cooper as before, can her fans still sit idly by?
And the biggest difference between Leila's movies and those made by Immortal Bird before is that her movies are great, whether it is word-of-mouth in the hearts of fans or influence, it is far from being comparable to the piles of previous Immortal Bird films.
As a result, Cooper, who still blindly discredits Leila's films, loses his fair and objective label as a film critic, and many people find out that what this person said is not so right.
Lyra mentioned Cooper's film review at this time, and compared him with his personality, obviously with a mocking meaning, and the implication could not be clearer.
