Chapter 941: Obliteration Success
Looking at the number of newspaper clippings, the reports related to Leila herself are the largest. Most of them are about winning Best Director and breaking the age record, and some of them are analyzing the number of trophies she has won. At an Oscar, one person won three awards alone, and it seems that there has never been anything in film history.
You know, this is the Oscars, not those music awards, you can get a bunch of trophies and awards at the same time for best new artist, best album, best single, or whatever.
To put it simply, she accidentally set a record when she didn't notice it, and Leila smiled and found that this feeling was still full of comfort, and it would be nice to come a few more times. It's a pity that she's not the kind of genius who defy the sky, and it's impossible to take on a few more jobs to earn a few more trophies.
As for her own report, Leila was very happy to watch, because basically some words of praise almost touted her as a genius director who has not been seen in a century. Perhaps in their eyes, she is only 27 years old, but even the time she spent on movies in her previous life can be regarded as seniority.
Is this another explanation for "hard work is bound to be rewarded"? It is no wonder that religion always makes people cultivate the afterlife, and regards the suffering of this life as the ordeal of creating a happy life in the next life.
Lyra looked down again, and saw a lot of stories about The Lord of the Rings. said that it equaled the Oscar record, and "Titanic" and "Ben-Hur" are tied for the top of film history. It is also said that it is the most profitable trilogy in film history, and even Layla's other money-making series are not rivals, including the "Harry Potter" series, the "Iron Man" series and the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series.
Many people are analyzing why the movie is so good, what is so good, and why it is so loved by the audience. The final conclusion is that the writing is good, whether it is adapted by Leila, and the shooting is a grand worldview and creates another real world, which will make the film a history-making classic.
The concentrated coverage of Leila and The Lord of the Rings has been going on for days, and the media is happy about it, and is very active in digging up everything related to them. Taking advantage of this wind, the East and New Zealand also took advantage of the situation to promote the beautiful scenery of their countries. Think about the magnificent mountains and rivers that appear in the movie, they are not created out of thin air, they are all taken in the real reality!
For a while, the number of tourists from the two countries doubled, especially in those scenes that appeared in the movie, and there were many foreigners from all over the world. Their arrival has driven local tourism and created economic benefits, and many of the locals who have benefited from them are not happy. After knowing that it was all because of Leila, she suddenly became the favorite foreigner of the two countries.
Of course, Leila also made a fortune on this trend, and the "Lord of the Rings" CDs were sold all over the world, and the merchandise became the hottest item in the newly opened merchandise.
At this time, a report published in the New York Post turned the mud and sand at the bottom of the pond like a large stone thrown into the pond, making the whole pond muddy.
The headline of the report is very eye-catching - "Moran's success is only because he chose the right work".
There are two points of view from that beginning to the end of the article. One of them is that the reason why Leila was able to show her skills at this Oscar and won so many awards is because she chose the right story.
It's not Laila's work, it's Tolkien's good writing, isn't it? If you change to another director, you are likely to shoot something equally wonderful. She was just lucky enough to take the rights to the adaptation in her hands a few years ago. Otherwise, it is likely that those honors will be won by other discerning directors!
Another point of view, that is, the reason why Leila swept the Oscars and won eleven awards in one fell swoop to tie the Oscar record, has little to do with her filming, but it is just the energy of accumulating three films. Everyone is a movie to participate in, but you are three, can three dozen and one still be considered fair? Coincidentally, the box office is not bad, so everyone thinks that this movie is really good to the point of being the first in film history.
At the end of the article, he wrote in a disdainful tone: "Do you really think that you can compare with the other two movies by winning the Oscar in this 'crooked way'? But don't forget that "Titanic" is really standing at the top of the box office list in film history, and it is one!"
All in all, the whole article is accusing Leila of "excesses", believing that she is a person who steals other film honors and undermines the fairness of the Oscars by relying on "crooked ways".
Not to mention, there are really many people who believe in such a view.
Yes, Tolkien's book is a great work in the West, and it's normal for a movie to be a little better, right? If it's bad, it's a bad thing.
And it seems that Lyra is participating in the competition with "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", but everyone knows that the brilliance of the first two parts will definitely affect the judges' judgment of the third part. The most likely thing is to put all the guilt about the first two parts on the third part, so that the movie can win so many awards at once.
The New York Post's intentions in this report are very sinister. The former point vetoes the film's excellence, attributing the film's success to Tolkien. The second point even vetoes Leila's success, attributing the fact that the film is a trilogy of awards that she has won so many awards.
It cannot be denied that these two factors did come into account in this success, but it would be too biased to deny all of Lyra's efforts.
If the adaptation was really that easy, there wouldn't be so many movies adapted from that would have been made into bad movies. If the trilogy can really accumulate energy, why hasn't there been a film that has been able to achieve the same amazing results as "The Lord of the Rings"?
The New York Post erased all of Leila's efforts on the film by stealing concepts, and the frightening thing is that many people were persuaded by their statements that it might be the case. If that's the case, Layla doesn't seem to be that powerful!
Almost as soon as the story came out, Leila was notified that such a story had been published. Merktor was originally a competitor to the Moran family, and if other families didn't dare to say it, as long as they could get the benefits of the dirty water that they didn't spill, they would unceremoniously splash it at Laila.
Cooper had been the New York Post's anti-Leila vanguard, but since he disappeared from the Post, he has hardly been seen writing anything like this. But in a newspaper like theirs, there is no shortage of reporters with a little skill under them, who can write things as if they were real.
