After a burst of laughter, a reporter asked again: "If Mr. Cooper wants to fulfill his agreement with you in full view, will you watch him make such an innocent thing that is likely to become the laughing stock of people all over the world?"
This is a bit counterintuitive. You must know that although it was Laila's gambling agreement, if Cooper didn't take it seriously, the smile would pass. However, he not only responded at that time but also used his influence to criticize and discredit Laila in various media programs. It can be said that to make the movie less than 100 million box office, he did almost everything he could except to kill Laila directly.
He jumped so happily. What's wrong with Laila seeing him become the laughing stock of the world after winning? Is she to be blamed for him being a laughing stock?
Laila glanced at him and accidentally saw the New York Post logo on the microphone he was holding. This newspaper can be regarded as Cooper's base camp, so it is not surprising to say such things.
"Do you think it is a mistake to fulfill your contract faithfully?" she asked rhetorically.
The reporter was not to be outdone: "But it's a very embarrassing thing after all. Is it really good to let him do such a thing for a bet? Will, it hurt your identity?"
Laila smiled: "My identity? I am a director, and I don't think I have any other great identity. I only know that if Cooper is a sincere and honest person, he should stand up and fulfill the agreement openly."
"That's right!" "It should be like that!"
The passers-by onlookers made noises of justice and excitement.
Disregarding the rule that a reporter can only ask a question once, the New York Post reporter confirmed it again before others: "So Cooper must be allowed to fulfill that agreement, right? Even if some methods are used to persecute it?"
Laila's eyes were half-squinted, and those icy blue light-colored eyes looked like frozen ice for thousands of years in the sun, without a trace of emotion and enthusiasm, even when they were staring at others. I will feel the pressure.
Not to mention the New York Post reporter who was the first to bear the brunt. When being looked at by those eyes, there was a terrible feeling of cold rushing from the soles of the feet and down the spine to the back of the head. At that moment, not knowing why, he suddenly remembered her title of "witch"… Did a real witch stare at him?
The ridiculous thought flashed through his mind, but the other party just looked at him without verbal abuse or angry scolding, making it difficult for him to find a reason for accusing him. However, after all, he was a reporter with thicker skin, and he quickly recovered his response speed.
"Are you staring at me like this because I was right on your mind? But even if you stare at me, you can't stop our reporter from digging into all true purposes!"
"Bah!" I don't know how many people spit on him in their hearts. A newspaper that sells mainly lace scandals, and an annoying paparazzi, what the truth is that! They are the group of people who don't care about the truth the most, okay?
Laila curled her lips slightly: "Then go find the truth. By the way, help me ask when Cooper will fulfill the agreement between us. I'm looking forward to seeing his performance."
The New York Post reporter got the answer he wanted and then retired with satisfaction. He didn't come here to ask a few questions, but from the beginning, he tried to find out whether she wanted Cooper to fulfill the betting contract. Once the answer is yes, then there is a good show. He knew that Mr. Cooper had called their editor-in-chief not long ago for more than an hour, and the content of the call was just a bet that the entire United States cared about.
With few intentions, the following questions gradually became the subject.
"Excuse me, your third work. I heard that it had been shot for a long time. Why should it be released in May next year?"
Of course, it was to avoid the "Super Shockwave" of the Titanic, but Laila would not say this.
"Because of some work arrangements, our distribution department thinks that will be a good schedule."
The summer file is the most tragic time for Hollywood to fight, Laila has no plans to go to that piece of fat for the time being, so she chose a relatively plain but good end of April. "Final Destination" may be able to get some box office a few weeks before the summer vacation.
Of course, the most important thing is that the power of the Titanic has been dramatically weakened at that time.
Another reporter asked: "Two consecutive films have got excellent box office results on Halloween. Will the company continue to launch films next year to grab the Halloween files?"
Laila nodded: "Yes, it was a very lucky holiday for our company. At least in the next few years, we will not give up that period."
"What's your opinion on how several films of the same type compete with you for the Halloween box office this time?"
Laila smiled slightly: "I welcome all kinds of competition."
This is extremely domineering but look at the box office of several movies that collided with her schedule to know that she is not afraid to compete with others because at least no movie has defeated her yet.
"Excuse me, Director Moran. Both of your films have won the box office champions of the next week several times after being released. Will the film that will be released in May next year still win?"
This is a relatively normal question, and Laila's answer is relatively mild: "I think the audience coming out of the movie theater will tell us the answer. Before the movie is released, no producer can guarantee that it will meet the audience's appetite."
"Director Moran, some people think that you always judge the winner by the box office and ignore the connotation of the movie. What do you think of this?"
Another reporter asked a question that smelled of gunpowder.
Laila glanced at him, and the ice-blue eyes in his hand swept across the logo, recognizing that it was a gossip newspaper with the New York Post Snakes and Rats.
"The audience likes watching movies, which will naturally increase the box office."
"Does that mean that the connotation of the movie is not important, as long as it pleases the audience and makes money?"
Laila laughed as if he had asked a stupid question.
"Is there anything wrong with making movies to please the audience? If your newspaper loses its readers, do you still have money to pay the loans and bills?"
The gossip tabloid exists to please readers. It tries to find some news that readers will like to publish. Even if there is no news, some news will be produced. Such newspapers are accusing her of having no connotation in her film, which is very funny no matter how she thinks about it.
