Chapter 669: Shaping a Hero
If Casey wasn't only 14 years old, Leila wouldn't have dared to do this, but how could she let go of such a God-given opportunity?
What she has to do is to portray Downey as a hero, so that it can echo the role he plays in the movie, bring more people into the cinema, and let more people accept the "fact" that he is a superhero.
At first, she didn't allow Donnie to watch the news, because she didn't want him to be affected by outside reports. And now she still doesn't want him to watch the news, it's already messed up outside, so it's better to be honest so that he doesn't have to find a psychiatrist in the future.
As for the rumor that Downey was abducted by Layla to get the movie protagonist, not many people believe it. Who let Leila have a boyfriend who is "the sexiest in the world"? Compared with Donnie's uncle, more people are willing to believe in the true destiny of Leila of Roy. And she's beautiful, smart, and rich, and she definitely doesn't look down on Donnie.
Seeing this kind of support, Leila even intensified her belief in not letting Donnie communicate with the outside world. If you want to be disgusted when you send it to the door, it would be too pitiful for him to see it.
The accusations against Donnie from the outside world are increasing, and Faisal, who is watching the play in the dark, is very happy. As long as Leila is unlucky, he will be happy. Similarly, Cooper is happy about the current situation.
"See? Her new film is sure to end dismally. ”
"Of course, who's going to watch a movie starring a criminal!" Cooper echoed with a smile.
But when he watched the hosts and guests on the TV show make all kinds of ridicule about Donnie's situation, for some reason, he always had an indescribable sense of foreboding in his heart.
Judging by the current situation, Leila's movie should be hopeless. Even if it is really proven that Cole West did drug that woman, Donnie, who has been dug up all kinds of black material, has already been marked with a black mark, and it is obviously unlikely that there will be any good future.
Why can't he feel at ease?
Although he couldn't defeat Leila with just one movie, and he couldn't destroy her confidence, this time he always felt that it was too smooth. It seems that as soon as he made a move, the other party raised a white flag and surrendered.
It's not that she hasn't struggled, judging from the fact that she personally released the video in advance to guide the direction of public opinion, she did play a good move, but then she was unexpectedly weak.
Is Moran really so easy to defeat? Is she really such a simple person to give up? If she is so easy to deal with, how did she come to have failed again and again?
It was with this in mind that Cooper felt that there was something wrong with her attitude, and that there was a sense of "calm before the storm".
Faisal didn't care about that, and he didn't know Leila as well as Cooper. What he saw was that Leila was in trouble this time, and as long as it could make her more headache, he was willing to put eight figures of dollars into it.
Just as apprehensive as Cooper are the studios that have stepped in to get involved, and they've quietly joined in the targeting of Downey in order to deal with Lyra's new film. It is their ultimate wish to make "Iron Man" suffer at the box office, and no one will be naïve to think that if the film pounces on Lyra's company, it will also go bankrupt.
There are more people who don't go to see "Iron Man", so the money saved will naturally be scattered to the movies released by other companies, what a good thing!
It's just that the recent wind direction has also made them feel a little wrong, and like Cooper, they also feel that according to Lyra's previous methods, this matter may have a future development. Therefore, many people who have done tricks and feet have gradually put it away, and they have not gained much from saving benefits, but they have been covered in mud.
It's not that Leila didn't think that someone would quit halfway before, but she still underestimated the wisdom of her opponent, and she didn't expect them to know her so well. How else to say that the person who knows you best is the enemy?
But at this time, it doesn't matter if these people don't participate, they will always like to join in the fun, and they will continue to follow the "trend" as she envisioned.
The fact is also that in various media outlets and places of communication, things about Downey can be heard everywhere. Because the public likes it, the media of all sizes have dug up his affairs cleanly, and even where he was in elementary school and his first girlfriend at what age he made was taken out to hype it up.
It's a shame that Donnie didn't see it, otherwise he would have been by a dozen women who claimed to be his first girlfriend.
Layla is not only hyping Donny's information, but also Cole's. She asked her own media to report on the affairs of the West family, and what good things could be about that family? You can find a bunch of black material at any turnover, and it is all content that readers like to read.
The media under the Moran Group cannot report on Donnie's affairs, which is an order from Layla. In the eyes of outsiders, Downey is her person and the star of her movie, and she must want to help him clear his name and say good things. Therefore, if she wants to make things bigger, she can't use her own media to do it. Otherwise, outsiders could easily see that she was playing a conspiracy.
And there is no problem with the Cole family to report it, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that they have also heard the news that Leila went to the hospital to seek reconciliation but was refused. The eldest lady of the Moran family refused in person, and the young master of Cole's style made a bunch of people secretly give a thumbs up, and silently planned how much they could get from it when this loser inherited the West family business.
What's the situation with Moran's family? That's playing with the news, and it's not too easy to get people to get involved. Not even another news mogul wants to bargain with him, let alone a retailer like West.
But his son refused even such a trivial matter!
Who Leila is, everyone in that circle knows. She is not pretending to be a celebrity, but a real celebrity. There has never been a bad reputation in the circle, and every time he appears in social situations with his family, he also behaves very well.
Compared to Cole, it's simply the difference between angels and demons. So you don't have to guess to think that the reconciliation was not reached, and it was definitely Cole's own relationship.
Because of this, many people who have cooperated with the West family have reconsidered. So much so that the several stocks controlled by the West family all began to fall slowly, which made old West so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and he had no choice but to catch his son and beat him a few times.
The first time he was beaten, Cole was stunned. He didn't even know what was going on, so he was dragged off the hospital bed by his father.
At that time, he was still shouting to defend himself: "I haven't been to the hospital anywhere recently, what are you hitting me for?"
