Chapter 113: "Serious Injuries and Incurable"
Hollywood's paparazzi are very powerful, and when they see valuable news, they not only suck like leeches and let go, but they are also very imaginative and have an all-pervasive and omniscient chasing spirit.
As long as there are hot topics, they are indispensable. Take the bet between Leila and Cooper as an example, the paparazzi didn't dare to stare at Leila under the warning of Old Man Moran, but they didn't have so many scruples about Cooper. In the last month or two, paparazzi have been "stationed" outside his house almost every day, watching his every move.
After the release of S, the paparazzi team of three or two kittens suddenly grew nearly tenfold. Looking out of the window of Cooper's house, you can see cameras and paparazzi everywhere across the street, and even the OB truck is parked, which is really laughable.
Therefore, when the box office in North America came out for a week, the Cooper family had just invited the family doctor into the door and was discovered by the paparazzi who were waiting for the news outside the Cooper's house.
Who is that man?
The paparazzi felt like they had dug up something important. So when the man came out of the house, he immediately gathered around him and made all kinds of inquiries. The man was also very cooperative, and told him that he was the family doctor.
Hearing this word, the paparazzi suddenly became excited.
When Cooper found a doctor, and when the box office came out, the imaginative paparazzi immediately "guessed" the "truth" of the matter.
Won about one-fifth of the box office in two days, and Cooper must have been angry after learning the news! Otherwise, why did he bring a family doctor to his home?
Unfortunately, due to the doctor-patient confidentiality rules, doctors cannot disclose patients' information, so the paparazzi can only use their imagination to choose a direction for their latest news.
"The genius director won 20 million in two days, and the film critic vomited blood, or he may be seriously ill and die"
"The witch's magic reappeared, and it topped the North American box office charts for a week in two days. The film critic urgently recruited a family doctor, and in order to pretend to be sick, he did not fulfill the gambling contract?"
"The famous film critic Cooper suffered from insomnia due to the stress of gambling and could only rely on prescription drugs from his family doctor. ”
The headlines on the front pages of various media outlets poked things out with the fastest speed and the most eye-catching headlines. The TV station even used news interstitial to report on the footage of the family doctor in front of Cooper's house being surrounded by reporters and paparazzi. It can be said that in a short period of time, people all over the United States focused on the bet of kissing the ass of a donkey.
And the reaction in this case is that the box office of S continued to climb all the way with a terrifying momentum in the second week. Even fans in some foreign countries are urging to release this movie as soon as possible to see what this controversial movie looks like.
When Cooper saw the news in the newspaper that he was about to die of anger because of the appearance of his family doctor, it was dark in front of him, and he almost turned the fake news into real news.
He just pricked his hand with a few small cuts from the porcelain slag, how could he be "seriously injured and incurable" in the mouth of the paparazzi? But he can't explain this kind of thing, he can't tell people that he slapped the table in the right place, and slapped his hand to the broken coffee cup, right?
If he were to say that, the damn paparazzi would have made a big fuss about the pieces again, and I don't know what kind of mess he would have choreographed by then! Guess if he smashed the coffee cup after seeing the week's box office results, and the pile of pieces he had. But that's the truth, and that's what makes him most angry.
Just as Cooper was exhausted by the paparazzi, the box office of the S also continued to dominate in the new week with exaggerated numbers.
At that time, in order to compete for the Halloween schedule, in addition to S, there were four movies released at the same time. Louise and the employees of the Immortal Bird were very angry when they found out, and they were robbed by so many shameless people when they found out about this time.
Even the media was not optimistic about Leila's new film because of the rush for many films of the same genre. However, the expected War of the Five Kingdoms did not happen at all, and the box office of horror films on Halloween was 73% exclusively occupied by S, and the rest was divided by other movies at the box office.
If you don't count a few summer blockbusters that are still reaping the remaining box office, it can be said that S rules Halloween.
Of the four films released at the same time, Louise worries her the most is "American Werewolf in Paris". This film is very strong from the director to the cast, and the plot is a continuation of the Oscar-winning "American Werewolf in London".
In the predictions of various media, this movie is also the biggest opponent that S will face on Halloween.
Then after the results came out, countless people's glasses were shattered, because this sequel, which was supposed to be wonderful, didn't get much attention at all, and the box office on Halloween was only a pitiful 700,000. As for the others, it is even worse, and together they do not exceed 1 million.
You must know that S won more than 10 million on the same day, which is several times more than the box office of all of them combined, and this result was something that no one expected before.
For this, various media have been looking for reasons. Especially those studios who also plan to plug in the newly developed Halloween schedule, they hope to find the reasons for the failure of those films. In their opinion, there should be a lot of oil and water in this schedule, don't you see that Leila has made a lot of money at this time for two consecutive years?
Some say that sequels have lost their appeal to fans, especially sequels to movies that don't really like people. Some people say that werewolves have made young people lose their freshness, and want to know what horror movies young people really want to see nowadays? Go see Leila's films, she is the one who knows what movies young people really need.
No matter how much arguments are made, the result is that in the second week after Halloween, S is still moving forward and winning the first four days of the championship with momentum.
But Immortal Bird isn't letting up on such good results, as the bigger rival will premiere on Friday, the five-year-old adaptation of "The Garden of Good and Evil," which has garnered a lot of attention before it even hits. is also the same type, and the cast is extremely powerful, it can be said that from the script to the crew, to the actors, all of them are the existence of crushing S.
And this movie is also one that Cooper is very confident in, he thinks that as long as this one comes out, fans will see what a really good movie is. Under this film that wants to be thriller, thriller, and connotation, I believe that good movies and bad movies will be clearly distinguished like black and white. Compared with it, S is a piece of **** discarded on the road, and Cooper has no time to see Leila and her damn video being beaten to the point of bleeding and slumping!
At this time, Leila has long been away from Hollywood and the film industry, and is driving a casual ride on the roads of the United States with a camera and a bag on her back.
