Chapter 98: The stumbling blocks of the rush period

The host was satisfied, and after saying a few words, he ended the talk show.

The program team is satisfied, because this time the ratings have set a record high.

Cooper is satisfied, and he finally finds a soulmate.

Laila, who turned off the TV with a smile, was also satisfied, thanks to An Min'er, this time the topic was completely ignited, and it seems that she doesn't have to worry about the box office will not be enough.

As for the R-rated or something, she doesn't care at all, the so-called classic is a kind of charm, and this charm is enough to make people crazy.

The original S was judged NC-17 during the initial review, but those under the age of 17 could not watch it, and it was rated R after some re-editing. North America won 55 million, and the global box office exceeded 100 million. So the R-class was never Laila's focus.

It's just that others don't think so.

After the show was broadcast, it immediately sparked a new round of discussion.

If half of the people thought that Leila had a good chance of winning, many of them began to think that she was dangerous after watching the show.

At the same time, the appearance of Ahn Min'er made Cooper notice that on the other hand, he used to care too much about the work itself, and forgot about other constraints. How could he not be black? So he began to look for more factors that were not conducive to the S box office. Not to mention, he really found out.

"Haha! Look how you're laughing this time!"

Neighbors living near Cooper's house heard a long laugh coming from their house, and even though the children of that family were ashamed to explain that the television was malfunctioning, who would believe such a ridiculous explanation?

Early the next morning, Demi saw Leila enter the office and hurried to follow.

"Miss Moran, it's not good. Look at this!"

"What's wrong?" Leila took the newspaper she handed her and looked at it, and it turned out to be Cooper's comment again.

"It's just a report, what's the fuss about?" said that, she still took a moment to watch it.

Demi was dying, how could she not be in a hurry? The newspaper was so scary that she almost forgot to breathe when she saw it.

"Miss Moran, it seems to be true!"

Leila waved her hand absently: "You go and get busy first, and let Louise come up in half an hour." By the way, tell her that I came to her for this report. ”

"Okay. Demi knew that it was useless for her to be in a hurry, so she had to go out and do what she told her.

Taking advantage of this time, Leila reads the newspaper article with ten lines at a glance.

Sure enough, it was Cooper's moth again. This time, he did not continue to smear the film itself, but told everyone through other aspects that her bet this time could not even exist with a 1/10,000 hope.

The article pointed out that due to the profits created by the witch Blair on Halloween last year, a large number of film companies paid attention to this previously neglected schedule, so this year's Halloween In addition to the already determined S, there are four horror and thriller movies that will be released at the same time, many of which are very powerful films.

Half an hour later, Louise arrived at Leila's office on time and knocked on the door to find her reading the newspaper. But what left her speechless was that she watched the economic version instead of the entertainment version that should be paid attention to. As the owner of a film production company, is this really good?

"Leila, you're looking for me?"

"Yes. Leila put the newspaper aside and took out the Cooper story separately, "Have you read this?"

"I've seen it just now. ”

"Is that true?"

"It's true, it's just that I didn't tell you about it because I was worried that you would have unnecessary worries. Louise smiled apologetically at her.

Whether it's for Leila's instructions, or for future plans, or for the sake of the gamble that has been so much discussed throughout America, it's impossible to change the screening date. Even knowing that there are several movies of the same genre that will be released at the same time is not interesting, so she chooses to hide it in order not to burden Lyra's heart.

"Tell me the same thing next time. Leila admonished.

"Yes, I see. Louise nodded sheepishly. Regardless of whether she thinks about her or not, it is indeed her dereliction of duty not to report this kind of thing to her boss, even if she is angry with herself.

But in fact, Leila was really not angry, and she could not be angry about such a trivial matter. Because her confidence in S is absolute, the classic charm will not lose its brilliance because of those few little fireflies.

"You know what the other four movies are?" she asked.

Louise had apparently already done her research, and immediately answered after she asked: "The first "Flying Demon of the Night" is co-produced by Italy and the United States, and New Line Films is responsible for distribution, so it should be the least threatening one." From the actor to the director, he is not very famous. ”

"The second is director Jim Glespie's "I Know What You Did Last Summer", and it shouldn't be too threatening. ”

"The third is director Robert Cottezman's fantasy horror film "Demon Roar", with Robert England who participated in Haunted Street and Tony Todd who starred in Death Island, which is the one we need to pay attention to. ”

"Tony Todd?" Leila raised an eyebrow at the name.

"Yes, he has starred in many movies and is a very good actor. ”

Of course, Leila knew him, and in the original version of The Grim Reaper, he played an important role throughout several films. It's just that this time she learned that the schedule had been set before preparing for filming, and the other people she chose didn't expect to star in a movie against her. In this regard, she could only mourn for him silently in her heart, who called him and who was an opponent was not good, she had to be with her.

"And then?" she gestured for her to "continue."

Louise nodded, her face a little more solemn: "I think our biggest opponent should be "American Werewolf in Paris". ”

Leila looked at her, "Why?"

"First of all, it's a sequel to 'American Werewolves in London,' which is a movie that has won an Oscar. Secondly, it stars Tom Scott and Julie Delby, respectively. Finally, it's a rare werewolf theme, and I think a lot of people will be interested in it. ”

Leila smiled, nodded and shook her head, "That's right, it's pretty interesting. But I don't agree with your other views. The American Werewolf did win an Oscar in London, but it was only a Best Makeup award, and it didn't matter at all. And the original film doesn't necessarily have a good box office, so what if it is a sequel? Do you really think it can surpass our movie?"

Louise hesitated. She has seen S's finished films, and it is not difficult to see from her experience that movies have the possibility of going to the palace of classics. If she hadn't had that bet, she could have laughed and patted her chest and said that her company had got another golden egg this time. But how could she be so easy with that bet on her head?

You must know that it is not 10 million, but a box office of 100 million!
