Chapter 1036: Cooper Reappears
Voices of skepticism came from a post on a large website. In the post "Maybe She's Not That Great", the author put three of Leila's movies that have earned more at the box office over the years to prove his argument.
"So far, director Moran's highest box office is the 1.6 billion of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King". At the beginning, many people were expecting the movie to break the record of the film and television box office champion in one fell swoop and become the new No. 1. However, it is a pity that in the end, there are still 200 million miles away from "Titanic". ”
"It seems that 200 million is not a particularly large distance, but when you really encounter it, you will find that it is a gap that can be described as a 'natural moat'. This summer's "The Dark Knight" rode the red dust, winning $1.4 billion at the box office in one fell swoop, setting a box office record for superhero movies. Everyone is talking about how great Moran is, how great he is, but in fact, is it really as great as everyone says?"
"There is no denying that the films she makes are very profitable, very popular, and very classic. But I think that kind of remarks may have mythical her. Think about it, she's only 27 years old, and there's something bigger than her ahead of her. Why hasn't director Cameron, who has occupied the first box office in film history for more than ten years, been sought after all the time and called him a 'living legend in Hollywood'? Come to think of it, probably he doesn't have a media set to build momentum for him. ”
This post looks plausible. will make those who watch it follow his thoughts to think: yes, Leila's box office has not broken the record of "Titanic", if you want to say a living legend, you should also say that Director Cameron is more powerful than her, right?
But unless the big director comes out to promote the movie again, it is basically rare to find news related to him. Leila, on the other hand, has been reported by reporters and has been featured in major media outlets.
At the end of the post, she pointedly said that she relied on the Moran media behind her to help her build momentum, thinking that all her praise was touted by her own family. This has also been recognized by many people, just like the post said, if the media hadn't been reporting her story, no matter how powerful a Hollywood director was, he wouldn't be as famous as her, right?
You must know that she is just a director, a person who stands behind the camera, and a person who is hardly noticed. But she has more attention than the top big stars.
Just look at her news this year, you can see that the kidnapping alone has been reported intensively for half a month, not to mention how many headlines Roy gave her the ring before. Celebrities want to be noticed by the media the most, but no matter how they fall in love, break up, split legs, get pregnant, propose, and divorce...... There are still few people who can get the same attention as Laila.
It's a very incredible thing to say, and it has made some people agree with the doubts about Laila on the post.
Leila saw the relevant report from a news clipping that Demi had compiled for her, and she followed the report to the website to read the original post.
Now it has become a very popular post, which is hanging high in the most eye-catching place, and the title has been bolded, as if others will not notice.
After watching it once, Leila only had one feeling, and that was that she was bored.
Looking at Demi, who was looking at her with a worried face, she laughed and said, "Don't we hear enough of this? It's not that we haven't heard the more ugly things before, and we still care about this?"
"You can't say that, boss! Since Cooper didn't know where he went, and the New York Post was acquired, I rarely saw those nonsense articles, I think someone must be behind it!"
Does Leila care? To be honest, she didn't care at first, because at that time she was more of an outsider, feeling as if there was a barrier between the world and her.
Later, after she slowly agreed and slowly adapted to the world, those words could not hurt her even more. The more time passes, the higher her achievements in movies become, how can she, who is climbing to the top, put some articles that smear herself in her eyes?
In her previous life, she was scolded more ugly, and this small degree was no longer lethal to her.
And what she values more is the benefits she gets, and the box office is the most important thing. Many times, even if there are no controversial articles, she will personally concoct a few to fight with herself, so as to create a topic, otherwise how can she let others know that she has a movie to be released?
"It's not right to say that I don't care at all. Leila thought for a moment and gave an answer that she approved: "I think absolute power can crush those intrigues. No matter how well they say, no matter how good they can incite others, the facts are the facts, and they will never be able to change them. If I can crush them, why should I let those articles give me a bad mood?"
"Well, what you say always makes so much sense. Demi knew she couldn't talk about her, and she didn't continue arguing about it. "Speaking of which, Cooper used to be against you, and I haven't heard anything from you in years. ”
At this time, a voice came from outside the open door.
"Cooper? I heard he's working as a consultant for a company. "It was Louise who walked in. In Hollywood, she has an invincible network, and many news even reporters don't get as fast as her.
Leila raised her eyebrows and said, "Advisor, what kind of advisor can he help someone with?"
"You may not have noticed that many award-winning films in the past two years have traces of investment from the company he works for. I heard that the company he worked for made a lot of money from these investments alone. ”
Louise said the names of several movies, and sure enough, some of them were very impressive to Leila, many of whom won good awards at the Oscars.
"He's changed now?" Layla was a little incredulous.
Let's take the post that muddies the waters just now, the words and sentences on it are familiar to her. When she saw her, she didn't remember it, but after being mentioned by Cooper's name, it suddenly dawned, isn't that Cooper's writing habit?
Using some plausible words that sound very reasonable, but in fact, they are all crooked words to fool the people who see them, isn't it also his usual method?
It seems that the acquisition of the New York Post has hit him hard, and he can't find another newspaper like the previous one to help him, and he can only rely on online posts to express his anger.
