Chapter 69: A Failed Second Movie?

As the weather gets hotter, the new movie is finally about to start.

Before that, though, Leila saw a story in the newspaper that made her unhappy.

- Cooper, "The Second Film?"

"Everyone is saying that 'Blair the Witch' has done a miracle and is the biggest dark horse in film history. Everyone is also saying that the eighteen-year-old director is a real genius and will have more brilliant works in the future. Said that she is a witch in the film industry, with the magic of turning stones into gold.

However, I have always disagreed. There are too many things that an excellent work overdraws the director's talent, and if you give examples one by one, I am afraid that many people who are interested in the industry of directing will be discouraged.

Maybe some people think I'm being too new directors and think I'm going to destroy their future. But that was a misunderstanding of me, and I hope that more talented directors can regain their position as directors after further training and more life experiences. Don't squander your talent at a young age and without much experience.

Why am I always not optimistic about "The Witch", even though it won 300 million at the box office? In fact, many people see the reason, but they kindly ignore it.

First of all, The Witch is a movie that doesn't have much creativity and meaning. Many people may want to contradict me, saying that the first-person shooting method and the pseudo-documentary technique that created the history of DV can be said to be uncreative?

I have to say that when I say creativity, I don't mean the technique, but the content of the film. Do you think that if such a pseudo-recording technique is used repeatedly, no one will buy it?

The content of the film was very boring, and I only saw some of the interview footage that was edited out of a mess, and some hysterical screams and running with shaking cameras. At the end of the whole movie, I didn't understand what I was watching.

Secondly, the success of the movie has nothing to do with the content, and it is a hateful deception to trick moviegoers into the theater. The clumsy way of using missing person notices to overdraw the kindness of others deceives people and makes them think that something like that really happened.

Nowadays, people really don't care about anything in order to make money. I only saw deception and deception in that cunning plot, and as for the movie, would anyone still care?

Honestly, I have to admit that the deception did work, they managed to trick the audience into the theater and got the 300 million box office that shocked the world.

But was that really a success?

As a director, he doesn't work the content of the movie, but he is bent on promoting the movie in a crooked way. That's why I've always been dismissive of witches and their directors.

My speculation turned out to be correct. It was the director who was called the "witch", but the second work was locked in a warehouse forever after filming was completed.

Why is this happening? I think you don't have to think about it to understand it.

The most ridiculous thing is that this director, who has already created a bad movie that will not be released, has now opened her third film again, and the investment cost is set at 25 million! And as far as I know, the whole movie is full of newcomers, not even a third-rate movie star.

Here I want to remind the director who has been carried away, it is not that investing in big movies will be successful, if you want to make a classic movie that can go down in history, you should work the content!"

would write such a strong attack as if there was a hatred for killing his father and taking his wife, and there was no one else except Cooper.

When Leila saw the report, her face was gloomy and ugly.

"Don't take it personally, it's not like you don't know that he has always been at odds with our company. Louise persuaded her on the side: "When S is released, it will let people in the outside world know what ridiculous lies he has said." ”

Leila shook her head a little irritably: "I don't care what he says, but I'm wondering how he knows about our plans? Who the hell leaked our business?"

In order to reduce the trouble, she told everyone at the beginning to keep the shooting secret. She knows how many people she has attracted attention, whether it is optimistic about her or sure that she is doomed, there must be many people who are watching her every move.

If someone pays attention, it will attract the attention of the media, and she doesn't want too many paparazzi to leak the shooting during the filming, so she can only make everyone keep their mouths tight.

But now Cooper not only knew that her second film was finished, but also that a third was about to start!

There is only one possible explanation for such a thing, that is, there are people in the company who provide him with information, and if it is ugly, it is eyeliner and a mole!

Leila can't forgive such a person for showing up in her office anyway. If you can betray her now, will you betray her again later at a time that is more important to her?

The only thing that makes her feel relieved is that this mole will not be a middle or senior member of the company, otherwise she will know that the second movie is not locked in a warehouse, but waiting for the Halloween schedule to be released.

Some movies do not appear in theaters for a long time, but generally not in productions like S. Because the company is small and the cost is relatively high compared to the company's funds, it is usually contacted immediately after filming or directly made into a CD for sale. It's rare for Layla to leave it for more than half a year, and it's no wonder that Cooper thinks she was thrown into the warehouse because of a failed shoot.

"Louise, find out who leaked the secret to Cooper. At the latest, after I've finished filming the Grim Reaper, if I haven't caught anyone before then, I'll use more drastic tactics!"

Louise's heart twitched, feeling the coldness and firmness emanating from her boss.

"I understand, I'll find people in the shortest possible time!"

She nodded solemnly.

In fact, she was not feeling well, and finally the company had signs of moving towards glory under the leadership of the small boss, and these people in the company had always served the company, so it was impossible not to know how bad the relationship between Cooper and the company was. How can you just talk about the company to Cooper's ears? I want to know how bad that guy's mouth is!

And she also cares about what Leila says about "more drastic means". Judging from the tone of her voice, it was definitely not fun. The boss is the eldest lady of a wealthy family, if you want a flat-headed common people to be unlucky, there can definitely be N+1 ways.

Thinking of this, she sighed inwardly. I hope it's up to her to find out the people, at least for the sake of the former colleagues, just kick them out. If it's the boss who makes a move...... She couldn't even imagine what was going to happen.
