Chapter 413: Continuous Reporting
The "Entertainment Reporter" is ready to squeeze the news value of the future boss out of the oil, so the interview that Hook took back was divided into four times, and they took the form of continuous reporting, one newspaper a week, and circled more readers who paid attention to her into their camp.
The first report is about the topic of "300 million directors". Guiding the wind of public opinion to turn back to the right path. The second report is about the "400 Million Declaration".
Hook's essay is narrated in a very objective way, trying to show the most authentic Leila through her words. But the other media outlets that saw him report were not so polite, although they couldn't get the interview rights directly from Leila, it didn't mean that they would honestly not hype up the topic about her.
The 400 million declaration? Many media outlets voted no confidence. Regardless of whether or not Leila's title of "300 million director" was hyped in a mocking tone before, the media knew that it was not a ridiculous thing at all, but a very remarkable achievement. But it doesn't matter what they think, as long as the audience is willing to watch it, they are willing to hype up that kind of brainless topic.
But 400 million, even the media that trust Leila dare not agree with her arrogance. In their opinion, her limit may only be here, and it can be seen from the movies she shot that the scripts she created and the shooting techniques she created were trapped within the range of 300 million. It can only be said to be an excellent classic movie, but it cannot be said to be a blockbuster movie.
The gap between 300 million and 400 million is not just a little bit, but more like a moat, unless you can break the boundaries that trap you, otherwise it can only be a joke if you want to get 400 million box office.
I don't know if I don't read the news, it turns out that there are so many people who are not optimistic about their box office breaking 400 million, and Leila only thinks it's funny when she sees the judgments about herself in those newspapers. Thinking that she could slap their faces one by one with a box office of 400 million in the future made her feel very happy.
Another week passed, and "Entertainment Daily" continued to break the news of the third article - a pirate film for the whole family to enjoy!
The media were happy to die, and more and more they felt that Leila was killing herself. Isn't it really funny to say that you, a person who makes R-rated horror movies, go to make pirate films that even big directors don't want to touch, and say that the whole family can enjoy it? The funniest thing is that such a film dares to say that it can get 400 million at the box office!
Some people may say that Leila once filmed "Rush Hour", doesn't that prove that in addition to R-rated films, she is also very good at making comedies?
But self-proclaimed experienced media commentators don't think so, pointing out that the script for "Rush Hour" was not written by Leila, and that she just filled things in according to the contours that someone else had created.
But this new pirate movie is different, and don't forget, Lyra's self-made films are all created by herself, so what are the likelihoods that someone who can make R-rated movies into the classic suddenly switch to another genre?
They are very "enthusiastic and sincere" to persuade Leila: continue to make your R-rated horror and gore action movies, at least that will make you a strong mark in the history of R-rated films, and don't waste your time in other genres and damage your reputation.
For the "bitter mouth" of these people, Leila only thinks they are farting. When it comes to movies, they put on an authoritative appearance and point fingers, and if they really want to make movies, they will all wither. It's not that she can't listen to other people's words, at least you have to have the ability to give advice, right? It's like a basketball player teaching a soccer player how to play the ball better, can it be convincing?
Some people who can only move their mouths still want to teach her to make movies? Hehe, she doesn't bother to complain.
But her silence became a sign of unconfidence in the eyes of others, so there were more people who "persuaded", and put forward all kinds of reasons that sounded reasonable, hoping to pull her back, a person who had gone astray.
Leila believed that they had ghosts, and they wanted her to be wrong. The reason why she says all this nonsense is to pave the way for the future, and as long as she fails, you can imagine how much criticism will come.
In fact, this kind of treatment is not something she will encounter, even those big directors will have similar experiences. As a result, if you fail, you will hear things like "I said it a long time ago, you can't do that". And if it succeeds...... Those people have all become amnesiacs, and they don't even mention what they have said, and they all sing the praises of you desperately.
Leila is all too familiar with this kind of thing, so she doesn't care what those people say to her, and when she waits for next summer, she will tell those people beautiful data, what is a slap in the face, what is a genius.
Another week passed, and the fourth consecutive report of the "Entertainment Reporter" came out again, this time no longer talking about her films, but around her and Roy. Hook asks him a lot about her and Roy, and Lyra tells him the answers she had prepared the morning. Except for some people who are closest to each other, no one knows that there is only a "scandal" relationship between her and Roy.
But is it really just a scandal made for hype? Leila, who was so sure, is no longer so sure because of Roy's attitude......
Thinking about that day, she still had the feeling of walking on a flat road and then being hit by a speeding locomotive and flying out.
She thought about it a lot, but she never thought that Roy would like her.
In recent months, he has been making movies in other crews and has not even come back once. The sudden silence around him made him appear more often in her heart. Especially when I come home every day and see the next room without light, I will feel a sense of loneliness in my heart.
She knew that it wasn't love that was playing tricks, it was just a matter of habit. It will be sad for a long time if you lose your pet, let alone a big living person with a strong sense of existence suddenly disappearing? It is not an incredible thing to think about it from time to time.
But she didn't treat him very well before, so why did she like her?
It's not just Leila who thinks about it, Ovitz thinks about it as well. As Roy's new agent, he devised many schemes for him. Whichever will be implemented in the end, Leila is a very troublesome character.
There can be no hate without love, and he is worried that Roy will hate because of love, and finally break off the relationship with Laila completely, and part ways. That would be a deep disservice to the company's growth, as the partnership they are now seeking is starting to get off to a good start.
