Chapter 339: Crisis
The most active of these were Fajze and Cooper. Cooper is better, his main scope of work is film criticism, and there is nothing else to attack except for sourly dissecting her works one by one, trying to use the images in the film to debunk the essence of her lace edges.
Fai is different, she has money, and in the capitalist society of the United States, having money is equal to everything. How could she, who had been counting the days waiting for Leila's bad luck, let go of such an opportunity, and immediately tried to attack her from all over the place. He even did not hesitate to spend money to get some important religious figures to stand up and speak.
Seeing the accusations of those people, Leila felt very lucky, fortunately she was reborn in this era, if she had been reborn dozens or hundreds of years earlier, maybe she would have been burned at the stake.
"Why are you saying that?" Louise said with a headache after seeing the news, calling Leila, who was working on the filming location. said that he was going to hype up the scandal, isn't this making trouble for himself?
Leila smiled slightly: "After becoming a social topic, won't more people pay attention to us?"
Louise sighed: "That's not what I said, bringing up this kind of topic will add a lot of danger to you." You don't know how much malice there is towards the gay community. ”
"Don't worry, I have so many bodyguards around me, even if I can't beat them, can't I run away?" Leila didn't pay much attention. Anyway, she works and at home, as well as the company, running from three points to one line. I won't go to some chaotic places, and I have more than four bodyguards around me all the time, what danger can I encounter?
Louise knew there was no way to get her to change her mind, so she had to be reminded to stay safe.
And Leila did underestimate people's disgust and fear of homosexuals during this period, wasn't "Brokeback Mountain", which made Ang Lee win the Oscar for Best Director, because of huge resistance, and finally released in more than 600 theaters?
That was six years later, and now in 2000, the resistance and criticism will only intensify than then.
Leila really realized this when she learned that the protesting crowd had surrounded the company and the filming location.
"Is it to light the fire too much?" she frowned, unhappy that things had changed beyond her own estimates. This was the first time this had happened since she was reborn, and it was clear that it had always been her plan before.
"Boss, what should we do? Now the protesters outside have blocked the door, and everyone is afraid to enter and exit at will, which has a great impact on the filming. Demi anxiously reports to her what she has seen, hoping that the wise boss will come up with a solution at once.
"Did they make any dangerous moves?"
"Not really, just holding a sign and shouting a few times outside. ”
Leila nodded: "Then leave them alone, and when they get tired of playing, they will leave." You tell the security guards that if they get into a physical altercation with the crew and the actors, call the police immediately. The police will take care of the rest, let's not meddle. ”
Demi was puzzled: "Why don't you call it now?"
"What's the use of calling now? The other party is standing on a public site protesting, and there is no damage or injury, even if the police come, they will only persuade them to leave. ”
Leila knew very well that even if she asked the police to come because of her status, there was nothing she could do about the protesters. Since the other party is just protesting a few words, let them protest.
Anyway, after two days of her and Roy's scandal coming out, the topic of the public will have a new focus, and no one will be entangled in the issue of homosexuals they don't like.
"I see. Demi nodded thoughtfully. The boss is the boss and thinks much further than she does.
Leila wants to wait for the topic to cool down, but there are many people who don't, not only her opponents and enemies, but also gay people and volunteers who really want to do something for the same-sex community.
It was rare for them to see a "comrade" who was willing to stand up and speak for them, and now Leila's emergence was simply a banner that could not have been more suitable. She wants money and fame, and there is no shortage of prestige and reputation, and there are such people who are willing to come forward, and some groups that were originally hidden in the shadows also stood up to help her wave the flag.
For a while, not only did the cooldown that Leila was expecting not come, but there were signs of intensification.
It's embarrassing.
When Leila learned this, she didn't know what expression to use to express her feelings for a long time.
If she had known that the United States, which claims to be a free country, would resist such a group of people in this way, she would never have brought the topic of hype to this.
Maybe she knew that she had been filming movies on the Black Pearl recently, and all the protesters at the door of the company had turned here. The only good news is that those people didn't do anything drastic for the time being, just let the crew members and actors go in and out of the door every day with trepidation.
For this reason, those who were able to stay overnight rested at the hotel in the theme park next door, and Leila, who wanted to go home, asked them to go home in groups as much as possible, not to go in and out alone, and not to have any communication with the protesters.
It's so lively outside the filming location, and the reporters will definitely not miss the opportunity. Seeing the large number of reporters coming, the protesting crowd increased and wanted to take advantage of the limelight, and the result was that things seemed to be getting out of control more and more.
"Boss, I'll go with you. Roy catches up with Leila in the parking lot.
"Well, let's go together. Leila didn't turn him down. They happened to be on the way, and she had bodyguards by her side, so it was not good for the actor to be attacked and hurt.
Knowing that the recent situation was not good, Osvid sent four more excellent bodyguards to Leila's side. The old man also taught her a lesson on the phone before, asking her to pay attention to the red line when hype.
In fact, it is impossible to blame Laila for miscalculating people's rejection of same-sex topics, and the time and circumstances of her past life made it impossible for her to understand them. With rotten girls around her all day long preaching the mystery of BL, and a "Brokeback Mountain" that interprets that feeling beautifully, how could she have imagined that in the earlier New Millennium, the United States, which claims to be a free country, would be so sensitive and aggressive to such a topic?
And the situation she didn't estimate brought her an unprecedented crisis at this time.
