Cooper sighed and shook his head. He would never agree to the bet if time could go back, and he made things so high-profile. It's good now. Let's not talk about the whole of the United States. I'm afraid the whole world is waiting to see his jokes. If he kissed the ass of the donkey in front of everyone, he felt that he would not leave the house at all in the future, and he would have no face to walk outside anyway.
"How could I have thought that two of the best movies in a row would have been planted."
He felt that he couldn't blame himself. Four horror films of the same genre, including the Werewolf movie that should be good. Who would have thought that it would be vulnerable? Not only did it not diverge from the box office, but it was beaten down. This was his first miscalculation.
The overwhelming propaganda of "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" before the screening, from novels to directors to actors, are all top-notch configurations. It is almost unreasonable to say that it is not a big seller. Who could think that he met such an outrageous thing before the screening? Who can believe that such an Oscar-level movie can be overwhelmed by a small-cost horror film? This has to be said to be his second miscalculation.
The third miscalculation is "Alien 4," he wants to understand, regardless of "Alien 3" is not bad, at least won the global box office of $150 million US dollars. From "Alien 1" to the present, how many fans have accumulated, and as long as half of these fans are willing to pay to go into the theater, it will also create a horrible blow to saw's box office.
However, the collapse of "Alien 4" was much faster than he thought, let alone blocking "saw." Even the entire series was sealed.
In fact, "Alien 4" is not bad, and people who like to watch special effects or watch the excitement can still find some fun in it. The main reason is that it should not choose to collide with the schedule of "saw." After watching "saw," "Alien 4", which is also a thriller, has no way to compare with others except for the image of a monster. It is no wonder that the appetite is lost. Causing fans will criticize with such bitterness and hostility.
Cooper felt that he was unlucky. If the two movies he had watched were not so bad, he wouldn't have run here to hide.
"Then what are you going to do?" His friend asked with a smile.
"What else can I do? Find a place to hide for a while, and wait until things fade." Cooper would rather die than allow himself to kiss the damn ass in such a shameful way!
His friend is a wise person. He saw another possibility: "If I remember correctly, the director is the heir of the Moran Group. There is the entire Moran Media Group behind. You should know this represents how many newspapers and websites NBC have acquired not long ago. Do you think they will let this matter go smoothly?"
Cooper's friend is also a businessman. Although he is not as big as Moran's house, he still knows a lot about business and media. Some things will indeed cool down over time, but as long as someone pays attention and the media keeps chasing them, it is basically impossible to cool down.
"I don't mind you staying here for a few more days, but if you really want to hide like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to go out in the future." This is still a softer way of saying that it is a role that everyone spurns. , No one would like a person who doesn't speak much.
How could Cooper not understand this? It is precisely because he understands that he is trapped in pain and entanglement. He would rather die than lose face, but if he keeps hiding in places that the media can't notice and never enjoy the status of being sought after, he feels That would be more terrible than death.
"Oh, what should I do!" He held his head in both hands, making a painful voice.
When his friend saw that he was pitiful, he couldn't help but point out a few words: "If I were you, I would complete this bet."
"No! That's impossible!" Cooper refused without thinking.
"Don't worry, listen to me." His friend patted his shoulder soothingly: "Yes, do that (puff)…" His friend snorted here unkindly and saw Cooper's sad and angry eyes. He quickly coughed and made his face serious again.
"Ah, it's a shame to do that, but in my opinion, it might have a good effect on you."
"Yes? That kind of thing can still be good?" Cooper was about to die. "If you think it's good, you can do it for me! See if you will say anything damn good at that time!"
The friend laughed and said: "Don't worry, listen to me and finish. First, you have to ask yourself if you really want to give up and reappear in front of the media. Because if you break the contract, you will be caught everywhere in the future. People mentioned this again and again."
Cooper sighed deeply. He didn't want to. Of course, he didn't. But did he have a choice? He had already thought about how the media would talk about every place he appeared in a mocking tone, especially those media under the Moran Group, which would make him want to die.
"But if I kiss the ass, I will become a stain in American history in the future." With the current speed of news dissemination, this scope will expand to the whole world!
Becoming a joke in the eyes of people all over the world, what did he do to get himself into such a terrible situation?
Cooper friend looked at Cooper's face that was about to collapse. He doesn't know why there was only an urge to laugh out in his heart. Fortunately, he didn't show it on his face, so he didn't let Cooper, who was in a glass heart state, angrily leave.
"My friend, you can't just look in the bad direction. When God closes one of your doors, he will open the window for you. You only see that when you fulfill your bet, you become a joke. Why don't you see that at the same time? Become a person worth admiring?"
Cooper stayed for a while: "What do you mean?"
"What's the point? You would rather be a joke to fulfill the bet. Isn't this the noble quality of a respectable and honest person?"
Can you understand it this way?
For the first time, Cooper thought calmly about the direction he was pointing.
And the result of his thinking is… it seems to be the same thing!
Everyone will like a person with integrity, even if the whole world has read his jokes. As long as he asks someone to help build momentum behind him, he will soon lead people's eyes from their stupidity to their integrity!
"You are right, my friend! You are really my best friend!" Cooper was excited. After thanking his friend, again and again, he drove back to Hollywood with his "magnificent" plan and the donkey that woke him up.
That's why he would get back a donkey from such a distant place.
If Roy hadn't recognized him sharply from a passing car, it might have come true as he had imagined.
… However, everything can only be said that he is too unlucky.
