Chapter 86: One Hundred Million, Is It Difficult
"Yes, Zeni. The bet is just a trivial matter, how can I provoke without confidence? Don't worry, I won't be ashamed. ”
Layla sighed and hung up on the phone from someone who didn't know how many people had received the message. But before the phone could be put down for a minute, the bell rang again.
It's a number that only people she knows are familiar with, and she doesn't know if it's about work, so she can't even pretend she didn't hear it. Seeing the familiar number appearing on the caller ID, she resigned herself to answering.
"Hi Mom. …… Yes, it was I who let Anthony let it out. …… Of course I have absolute confidence that I will win, do you think I will lose to someone like that?"
On the other side, Janet was not like the others who were dealt with by her words: "Do you know the consequences of this?
"It's nothing, I just don't think it's been hot enough lately and want to adjust the atmosphere. "For her mother, Leila naturally doesn't just say a few words like everyone else.
It's just that her big truth turned into angry words in Janet's ears.
"Leila! $100 million at the box office! Do you know how difficult it is to achieve this goal?" she really wanted to pinch her daughter's face to see if she had been out for a year and then lose all of her face. It's not that she can't understand the hype, and she also knows the necessity of propaganda, but there are no absolutes in the world, what if it fails? Do you really want her to kiss the ass of a donkey in front of the whole United States and even the whole world?
Thinking of this, Janet wanted to grit her teeth again. knew that this child would become like this when he went out, and she shouldn't have relented and let her out in the first place. Pure paper is the easiest to stain black, how could her pure and kind angel-like child be damaged by people outside so quickly?
"100 million, is it difficult?" Leila smiled: "I've taken 300 million." ”
"How can it be the same?" said Janet, not knowing what to say. Just because she doesn't understand doesn't mean that others don't understand, after reading so many review articles, she knows some of them.
"The witch's innovative approach to filming and your own topic, as well as the publicity that was unique at the time. It's an incredible event that happens when all kinds of miracles come together, and no one can make the same miracle happen twice!"
"So, Mom thinks I'm going to lose?" Leila raised an eyebrow.
Janet was suffocated, of course she thought her daughter was the best, but she couldn't bear that others were not optimistic about her. What worries her most is not about losing, but about the consequences she has to bear after losing. As the daughter of the Moran family, even if she says the most ridiculous and nonsensical bet, as long as she loses, she has to carry humiliation to complete it.
After all, it is to kiss the ass of a donkey, and then a photo can be spread all over the world, and it may be taken out as a joke decades later, and she is afraid that her daughter will not be able to bear it.
"I just want you to think about the consequences before you do it, and if you're sure that the consequences are acceptable to you, then you go for it. It's just that whether you succeed or fail, you have to bear the consequences, you understand?"
Janet's earnest words made Leila feel guilty. In contrast, she can be so open-minded and does not use her mother's power to forcibly stop it, Leila feels that little Leila is really lucky to have a mother who cares so much and teaches her.
"Don't worry, Mom. I know what to do, you just have to watch. She didn't want to explain more, and even if she wanted to, she couldn't explain it clearly. She can't tell her that this movie is so good, that is, it will create a classic of horror movies in film history, that is, it can make the box office reach more than 100 million, and it will create another miracle!
"Well, now that you've decided. Alas. Janet sighed, "Don't talk about that, how about Burberly? I heard you made a suggestion about modeling? Why didn't I know you knew a male model?"
The wariness in her tone was clear to Lyra through the phone line, and although she was puzzled, she honestly told her what had happened and her thoughts: "So I think this is a good opportunity, and at worst, I can get acquainted all over the world." ”
"I see. Janet secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was worried that her daughter's exposure to this industry was too shallow, and she was accidentally bewitched by the "model" that popped up out of nowhere.
With their status, it is too simple to make a name for someone they like, so from time to time there will be people with such a purpose deliberately approaching. She was worried that her daughter was too innocent and would be in trouble if she was accidentally calculated. It's nothing to deal with one or two small "things", but it's something she definitely doesn't want to see to make her daughter sad because of this.
"In short, you have to take good care of yourself when you are out there alone, and don't believe everyone. If you don't understand something, you can ask me, or you can talk to Claire. I can't be by your side, don't let me worry about you all the time, okay?"
"Okay mom, I'll take care of myself, rest assured. "Leila's heart is warm, and the warmth of her family is the last thing she wants to give up when she comes to this world.
After coaxing Janet and promising her to get back to work and join her as soon as possible, Leila was allowed to hang up the phone. It wasn't long before the bell rang again. She sighed and picked it up resignedly.
"I'm Leila, who is looking for me?"
"Miss Moran, it's me, Anthony. Just received the news that Cooper has agreed to your bet through the media. ”
Hearing his words, Layla's eyes narrowed.
"Very well, what else did he say?"
Anthony recounted the message he had received: "Are we going to take the next step?"
"Let's do it. But don't be too fast, according to our plan, calculate the time to warm up slowly. If it's not hot enough, go to Cooper Ga and remember to keep it hot until Halloween. ”
"yes, I know what to do. Anthony ended the call, looking at Cooper, who was speaking like a speech to a group of reporters with long guns and cannons on his computer screen, and smiled with pity like a clown.
The person who has been blinded by hatred, if he knows that his scenery at this time is all the results created by the witch-like girl with her "magic", I wonder if he will lose the courage to live because of excessive shame?
A person who thinks he has everything in his hands finds out that everything he has is actually manipulated by others, and if it were him, even if he didn't collapse on the spot, he would definitely have no face to face again.
