Chapter 139: Whitewashing

Aureli scolded Cooper for being stupid, and at the same time liked the smell of gunpowder for him. Because only when there is a conflict between the two, they have good ratings, and compared to the sour sarcasm in front of him, he is even more eager that the two can directly roll up their sleeves and fight in the live broadcast room, so that he can also get a big red envelope this year.

It's just that when he turns his gaze to Lyra, he finds that she is not looking at Cooper at all, but with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, waving to the nearest audience.

Beckon...... What kind of trick is this?

Aureli was a bit of a rat to her — with nowhere to start, as if she were not a teenager in front of her, but an old man, such as Osvid Moran, who had been at the helm of the Moran Group for decades and had built a small printing house into the media giant he is today.

Looking at Cooper's blushing face and thick neck as if he were about to quarrel with someone, he suddenly had a bad omen, and he always felt that things might not go as smoothly as he had originally thought.

Now that both parties are on the same stage, some questions that the audience is interested in must be asked.

"Cooper, a lot of people know that you seem to have a lot of bad things to say about Lyra's films, starting with Blair the witch at the beginning. I wonder if you're saying those things from the position of a film critic, or if it's because of some other reason, like our director is not yet twenty years old?"

The audience gave him a round of applause for his question. Anyone who knows the ins and outs of the matter knows that ever since Leila brought her first film to Hollywood, Cooper has been chasing her and her films so hard that he won't give up until he hits her head. Why, exactly, why is this targeted at a talented young director? Is it really just because she's a young man?

When Cooper heard this question, which had been discussed in the background, he finally suppressed the anger in his heart against Leila, and was ready to use this issue to "whitewash" himself.

"I'm a film critic, and my job is to give people an insight into some of the films. To put it simply, I am a drug tester, and I first tried whether it was poisonous or not when I came out of the movie, and then recommended it to everyone to enjoy. He spoke so humbly that some people who didn't have a good impression of him changed their opinion of him a little.

"It cannot be denied that everyone's tastes are different. What is good for some people may become poison for others. To be honest, I don't have any grudges against director Moran, and I don't need to find any interests by criticizing her, what I say and do is what I really think. ”

Both Aureli's question and his answer were designed from the start. It was O'Reilly who asked the pointed questions first, which seemed to accuse him, but in fact gave him a chance to defend himself. He would then take the opportunity to articulate his "true" thoughts in order to reverse a large part of the population's dislike of him.

I have to say that they were successful, and their singing and harmony did ease many people's perceptions of him.

Aurelly asked, "Then why do you think Leila's second film will fail?"

Cooper sighed, "It's not so much why I thought she would fail, but I still don't know why she succeeded." In my opinion, no, I'm not the only one, in the eyes of many critics, it's a film that is all about killing and gore, and there is nothing worth paying attention to in it at all. I really can't understand why it's loved by so many people. After he finished speaking, he didn't forget to show a wry smile to the camera.

Leila's eyes narrowed, and a smile crossed her lips. The cooperation between the two of them is really good, one seems to be on her side, and the other does not forget to smear her while whitewashing.

But she didn't speak, just smiled faintly, and watched the two interact like an outsider with a flat look.

Aureli and Cooper had a great time talking about the problems that had been set. These questions and answers are very important, at least for the planning that will take place in the future. Whether things can be done or not depends on how well the audience accepts those words.

Aureli was also amused in his heart. Luckily, Layla didn't know much about these secret tactics and didn't interrupt them halfway, otherwise it's hard to say what would have happened.

He thought as he looked over to Lyra, who had deliberately forgotten to the side. It didn't matter if she was about to meet Lyra's ice-blue eyes, which seemed to have no temperature.

With O'Reilly's decades of experience as a journalist, after being looked at by such a pair of eyes, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat. It wasn't a threatening look, it wasn't an angry look, it was just a plain, as if ordinary look, but it gave him such a strong impact.

What the hell was going on? He would never admit that he was frightened by the look of a young girl.

"Ahem, Cooper. He disguised his inner tremor by changing the subject. "I think the question that everyone sitting here, and the audience sitting in front of the TV, is, why did you take this bet in the first place, did you already think that you could lose?"

Cooper shrugged: "Yes, I did think I might lose. "Of course it's a lie, if you know that you're going to end up like this, he's crazy to take the bet. But here, the last thing that can be told is the truth.

Aureli made a surprised look at the script he had prepared: "Then why do you want to do this? Don't tell me you have an unusual love for donkey butts." ”

Cooper frowned and glared at him secretly. There's no line behind him in the designed lines, is that one of Doga taking him for a fool?

scolded in his heart, but he couldn't let out his anger, so he could only hold his breath and say: "Today's young people are too arrogant, and if they have a little achievement, it is like winning all of their lives." She's a talented director, and I don't want her to stop because of that, at least I hope that my push will allow her to go further. Looking at the results at this point, I think I did something right. ”

Even though he had known that he would say such a thing, Aureli was deeply moved by his shamelessness. It was as if the success of others depended on him pushing behind the back.

"Huh. He smiled and turned his head to Leila, "Leila, what do you think of him? Do you think he helped you?"
