Chapter 72: Interview

"People are very concerned about your second film, is it really a film that was thrown into a warehouse after filming and had no value at all?"

Owen's first question hit the nail on the head, unlike many other reporters or presenters who make small talk with the interviewee or talk about something light-hearted before cutting in.

Leila likes such directness, so she decides to follow his pace as well.

"I also saw that Mr. Cooper's article, and to be honest, I was amused and angry at first. ”

"What do you find funny, and why are you angry?"

Leila spread her hands: "Wouldn't it be funny if you had a good film that was put into full production, ready to be released on an important date, and where infinite expectations were pinned on, was said to be a bad movie that was thrown into the warehouse after shooting?"

Owen was amused by her innocent appearance, "Then why are you angry?"

Leila narrowed her eyes: "In Mr. Cooper's article, I can see that he is a person with a strong sense of social responsibility. He said he didn't want to discourage young directors like me, and although he did, I believe he was thinking about the directors. It's a shame that he doesn't want more people like me to make movies that only make money, but make no sense. ”

"That's why you're angry, because you've been hit, you've been slammed, you've been blamed?"

"Yes, I have to admit that there are some. Lyra laughed when she heard his question. He really deserved to be the person Anthony found, and he directly pointed out what she didn't say clearly. She also wanted to point at Cooper's nose and scold a few words, but unfortunately her status was there, and at most she could only point to Sang and scold Huai.

"It seems to me that Mr. Cooper has a big misunderstanding of the film. Why are there so many types of films? Does every film need to have educational significance? Yes, there are many movies that have a deep sense of sobering significance and have also received high box office. But that's not all. ”

"It may be that Mr. Cooper is old and doesn't quite understand what our younger generation thinks. I have to say that a movie is not just an educational film, it is also an entertainment. For example, when I went to the movies with my friends today, I wanted to watch some ridiculous comedies that could make us laugh. Another example is that someone is bored and wants to watch some horror movies that can scare their adrenaline rush. So does it mean that these purely commercial films have no meaning to exist?"

Owen nodded: "So you don't think there is a need for education in commercial films?"

Leila raised an eyebrow at his very provocative question: "Then I want to ask, what is the educational significance? Teaching people to be kind, teaching peace-loving, or establishing a correct outlook on life and the world? In the horror movie, all the people are desperately trying to escape with each other's help, is this teaching the spirit of helping each other with kindness? The aliens are coming, and our fighters are fighting hard, is this considered a correct outlook on life and the world? So isn't every commercial movie educational?"

Owen didn't expect to meet an interesting partner this time, and he had to admit that the young lady in front of him was more talkative than he thought. When he arrived, he learned from Anthony that she was someone who didn't like to be exposed to the media, and thought she was doing so because she wasn't very good at talking. Now it seems that she doesn't know how to deal with the media, but she really has no interest.

In this society where everyone wants to promote themselves, there are girls like her who are "indifferent to fame and fortune", which is really a rare existence.

In the following interview, Layla fires on Cooper, completely using all kinds of taunting techniques from ancient Oriental countries, and is extremely skillful at swearing without swearing. At the end of the interview, even Owen said that she would definitely have amazing results when she went to participate in a talk show.

He didn't know why some of the words he was used to hearing came out of her mouth with a feeling of wanting to laugh. But if he stands in opposition to her, it will make people maddened, and he estimates that Cooper will be very angry after seeing the interview, and maybe he will be so angry that he will lose his mind.

That's exactly what Leila intended, with Halloween at the end of October a few months away, and she wanted more people to know that S needed to make the pool even muddy. As she said before, with Cooper to help her keep raising her popularity, it's hard not to think of being famous.

In order for Cooper to be able to help her more wholeheartedly, it is of course necessary to add a proper fire. To see if the effect is good or not, it depends on whether her fire is strong enough.

But looking at Owen's expression after the interview, Leila knew that she should be doing a good job.

The next day, an interview with her was published in the Entertainer, and Anthony had asked for an entire page to be left for her. It not only introduced some of her information, but also published the interview with her word for word.

Yes, not a word has been deleted and not a word has been changed.

Journalists are not too big to watch the excitement, and the more topical they are, the more they can touch their cool points. Seeing that Leila's flag had been raised, how could they not shout and cheer on the side?

As a result, the day's newspaper sales increased by 20% compared to usual, and some cooperative media outlets asked for cooperation, hoping to repost their interviews. And Leila's "bad film that is said to be so bad that it was thrown directly into the warehouse as soon as it was filmed" also officially appeared in front of the public.

The original name of the film was S, it turned out that it was not so bad that it was worthless, but it was treasured and selected to broadcast at the best time, it turned out that the genius director not only did not exhaust Jiang Lang's talent, but began to shoot her third movie full of vitality!

For a while, as long as there is a place of communication, the names of Layla and S will appear. Especially on the Internet, which has the most young people, all kinds of words that support Laila and curse Cooper can be seen everywhere.

"Shet!" Cooper smashed his coffee cup in the study. At this time, what was displayed on his computer was what Leila's fans were scolding him, and these people didn't have Laila's scruples, and they could really say whatever they wanted, so they were extremely ugly. He was so angry that he almost didn't catch his breath and passed out.

"Didn't you tell me it was a bad movie locked in a warehouse?" he grabbed the phone, and when he answered it, he snarled and covered his face.

“…… What? You said you never said it was a bad movie? It's all my misunderstanding? Shet! I don't want to hear you say that again! I want to be surprised, I want to make her slam off!"

He didn't want to listen to the other side anymore and hung up the phone in a rage. He was angry because he knew that what was said on the other side was indeed the truth. When he heard that the second movie was made, he collected it, and there was no follow-up at all, so he preconceived and took it for granted that it was a worthless bad movie.

Otherwise, how could a small company that is not as big as a rat's tooth put a movie of more than two million dollars on hold instead of releasing it immediately? Especially when it is still full of controversy! He doesn't believe that a teenage girl can have such a strong endurance.
