Chapter 955: Press Conference (1)
As soon as they heard that they could ask questions freely, the reporters raised their hands and waited for the host to "flip the card".
At this time, you must take care of your own people, and the first thing the host clicked on was a domestic media in South Africa.
"Hello, I'm a reporter for the South African Free Press, why did you, as one of Hollywood's top directors, choose to come here as a filming location?"
Of course, it's because it's the closest place to Sierra Leone. But Layla can't tell the truth, otherwise it will become a curse. Who doesn't know that Sierra Leone has been devastated by the civil war, and there is no place to make a movie. If you say that you came here because South Africa and Sierra Leone are very similar, what is it if you are not scolding?
So Leila first expressed her love for South Africa in a more tactful tone, and then said: "The plot of the story needs such an environment. β
The next reporter to be named is still a South African reporter: "Director Moran, what is your impression of South Africa?"
Lyra was not surprised to be asked such a question, and she had already prepared the answer in her heart.
"South Africa is a very beautiful country, and when I got off the plane, I felt the warmth of the South African people when I stood on this land. I am very grateful to the fans who came to pick me up that day, and I regret that I didn't have the opportunity to communicate with them at that time. β
As a comfort, the host finally called a reporter from the United States.
"Director Moran, may I ask which brand of your ring is it?"
He asked a question that had nothing to do with the movie, leaving Leila stunned, but it wasn't surprising to know that he would ask such a question when he saw the logo he was wearing. The reporter who came from afar was a reporter for the New York Post......
That's right, it's the unlucky guy who was bought by Old Man Moran.
From the fact that reporters can still gossip about her, it can be seen that the newspaper has not changed very much, and it should continue to go on step by step. If they were too cleaned, it would probably not be possible to come all the way here to carry forward the gossip spirit of their newspaper.
After considering the wording, Leila said, "This ring is not from a big brand. It was designed by a great designer that my fiancΓ© had found. Because I loved one of the designer's pieces from a long time ago, Roy approached him to design it to make me happy. β
This is a big revelation, since she made a high-profile appearance at the Oscars with a ring, the origin of this ring has become a mystery that everyone cares about the most. Now that it has finally come out of Lyla's mouth, I believe that it will definitely attract a lot of attention after it is transmitted back to the United States.
Reporters who know the situation can't help but envy the unknown designer, because they all know very well that the designer will become popular when the news spreads in the United States. Maybe in jewelry design, there will soon be a new star to shine brightly.
"Director Moran, this time you are working with DiCaprio, are you going for next year's Oscars?"
Leila burst out laughing when she was asked, it seems that Leonardo's desire to win the actor trophy is already a well-known thing. Although it is true that it is like that, it is certainly not to say that.
"The Oscar is the most wanted award for everyone involved in film, and I can't deny that Leonardo and I are looking forward to it. But if you go to make a movie for the sake of a trophy, I think it's a blasphemy against art. Movies are sacred, and you can't let it be overshadowed because of your own **. β
This is so righteous and awe-inspiring that Leonardo, who was hiding in the background after the disguise, really wanted to give her a round of applause.
"I heard that this movie is about the war and blood and tears brought by diamonds, and several related diamond industry companies have announced that they will boycott it, what do you think about this?"
A reporter's words made Leila stunned: "Boycott? I'm sorry, I haven't received any news about it, so there's no way to give you an answer." β
She turned her head to the official next to her: "What did the reporter say?"
The official's face was a little ugly, in his opinion, those diamond companies were making trouble, and they couldn't contribute much to South Africa together, and it was better for a Moran movie to let more countries and people in the world hear South Africa's name. Want to boycott? Don't look at what they are!
"It's just some people messing around, don't worry, we won't let those people cause any trouble to your crew. β
Leila frowned and looked at him before nodding, "I hope so." β
She suddenly remembered that in her previous life, when she was filming a movie, it seemed that some companies asked the crew not to make movies, because they were worried that the sales of diamonds would be affected after the movie was made. But the fact is that instead of decreasing, it is increasing every year, especially in some developed countries, and the number of diamond jewelry led by diamond rings has increased many times.
She didn't want to say anything about it, she wasn't a virgin, she knew the dark side of the world very well.
The next reporter was called to his feet, asking the same questions he had asked when he was at the airport.
"Didn't your fiancΓ© come with you this time? β
Leila is still worried that their whereabouts will be exposed, how can she possibly tell them the truth?
"He has some personal arrangements, and if he has time, he may come over and visit the class. But after all, it's a long way off, it takes a lot of time to come here, and our crew is very close, so I hope he doesn't interfere with my work. β
"Regarding Moran Media Group's acquisition of the New York Post, there is news that it was because the Post made some radical remarks about you, is that so?"
A reporter asked a pointed question. At the same time, it is also a problem that is closely related to them. Today, the Moran family can buy the media that offends them, so what will they do next time someone offends them? Will it still fall to the point of being acquired?
Leila narrowed her eyes, "I think it's a normal business action. Isn't it normal for Moran Media to acquire a newspaper with the media industry as its main development direction?"
"Is that really the case? Why was it bought after the other party made unfavorable remarks against you?" the reporter asked again.
Leila smiled, "That's your second question." β
The reporter's face turned red and he could only sit back in his seat.
It's not uncommon for journalists like him to be bold, or rather, many people in the journalist profession have a lot of hard work. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so much world-shattering news revealed.
So after the previous reporter sat down depressedly, the reporter who was named again asked the question: "Please answer why you were bought after the New York Post published something unfavorable to you." β
