Chapter 622: Results of Investment

No one can say anything about this kind of thing, and the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, and they all feel that their concept is the most correct one.

To Leila's delight, the fact that the "worst and best" in Oscar history after winning Best Picture for "Chicago" in her previous life did not happen. Most people were very appreciative of its selection, which of course had to do with the fact that Lyra's version was better than the original.

First of all, the quality of the actors is a cut above the original, and you can see it clearly from the fact that the three acting awards have been harvested by them. In addition, in terms of choreography, Marshall, who was awakened, also let go of himself and found a way to integrate dance into his soul and express it through the lens of the film.

There are also costumes designed by Janet, a super designer, based on the plot of the movie, as well as more elaborate and gorgeous background props made regardless of budget. It can be said that every frame of this film is carefully and meticulously crafted. In this case, how can a movie full of sincerity not surpass the original version, and how can it not be loved by people?

Moran's various media took this opportunity to take a good shot at Lyla's ass, and almost touted her as the first person in the sky and on the ground. No genius can describe her greatness, and Louise's "God-favored man" when she receives the award becomes her new name.

However, the increasing number of people who are satisfied with "Chicago" has made some people unhappy.

"That's what you say?" Faisal grimaced and glared at Cooper, who was standing across from him, eager to draw his knife and plunge it into his chest, making him use his blood to experience the horrors of fooling him.

Cooper was unhurried: "Mr. Faisal, isn't this a good result? She has won many awards, but don't you see that she didn't get the one she most hoped for?"

Faisal sneered: "What's the use of being just a best director, her movies have won so much, she doesn't care about such a trophy at all!"

Cooper shook his finger and smiled, "You're wrong. Let me tell you this, as long as you are a director, there is no one who does not want to win the Oscar for Best Director. You can ask any director if he wants to win that award. I don't think you can find a single director who has no interest in that trophy even if you ask all of Hollywood. ”

"Is that so?" Faisal looked at him suspiciously, and began to wonder how true his words were.

Cooper smiled and nodded: "Of course! The best Oscar award for directors is like athletes looking forward to the gold medal in the Olympic Games, it is equivalent to the best certification of their directorial strength! Movies like "Chicago" are estimated to only appear once in many years, and no matter how good a director is, it is impossible to always make that level. This was her best chance to get the best director, but she didn't. Don't you think that's evidence that even God is on our side?"

Faisal knew nothing more about cinema than superficial things, so Cooper's words made him think that this was indeed the case. No matter how good a director is, it is impossible to make movies that can win so many awards again and again. Take a look at the history of the Oscars, what director can always come up with such a rebellious work?

Not to mention that they have been taking it all the time, how many people can get such results?

The fact that "Chicago" has won so many awards this time shows that Leila has really put a lot of effort into this film, and this time is indeed the closest she has to the best director's golden man.

Since she didn't get it this time, who can guarantee that she will be able to make the same level of movies again in the future?

"You're right. Faisal finally agreed, and his expression was much softer than at first. But there are still things that are not happy, such as ......

"Even so, it has nothing to do with us if she doesn't win Best Director, and the film that takes away the trophy is not our investment!"

They originally wanted to invest in movies with potential and let them snatch Leila's trophies, but in the end, they were snatched by another unrelated person. So what's the use of the movies they invest in? Isn't it the same as that the money invested is in vain?

Cooper had already guessed that he would have such a question, and he had prepared the answer early in the morning.

"It is not surprising, Mr. Faisal, that you would think so. But I must say that two of the five films for best director this time have been invested in by us! If it weren't for your investment, they wouldn't have been on the list of nominees. Because of their appearance, the Oscar judges have more choices, and the votes for the two films will be divided between the ones that were originally given to Moran. Isn't that the result of our investment?"

Faisal is not a fool, and being able to gain the trust of his boss and make large transactions at will means that he has an extraordinary IQ. So he knew very well that Cooper was stealing the concept.

Yes, the entries in those two films did take away Leila's votes, but even if they were to be replaced with other films, the same result would have been.

"Do I look so stupid? Even if other movies took their place, they would have taken Leila's votes as well!"

Cooper was not surprised that his careful thinking was seen, but he was already prepared: "That's not necessarily, look at the results of the film we invested in in terms of awards, does it really have the strength to steal Leila's votes if it is replaced by another movie?"

Faisal didn't expect him to talk about it, but he was moved by him. He didn't know that the reason why the other party said this was actually slapping him on the back of an inconspicuous sycophant. At the same time, it also shows his ability and enhances the importance in his heart.

It was they who invested in those two films with the wisdom of money, so they were lucky to appear on the Oscars and had the opportunity to compete with Leila.

Cooper continued, "And, Mr. Faisal, I think you have overlooked a very important matter. ”

Faisal raised an eyebrow: "What's the matter?"

"That's the result of your investment!" Cooper smiled slightly, "Didn't you notice that the few movies you invested in were all profitable?"

Faisal was stunned for a moment, and finally remembered that such a thing seemed to happen. The main thing is that he has always cared about whether he has beaten Leila, and he doesn't care whether the movies he invested in can bring him much profit. After Cooper reminded him of this, he remembered that he had indeed received a report of profit before, but the amount was too small to put in his eyes.

There is a saying: No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat!

Although the money he made was very small in his eyes, it was the first time he had made a profit since he came to Hollywood in the past few years! A film making a profit is nothing, and it is worth noting that the several films invested in this time have all made money!
