Chapter 139 - Chapter 139 - White-washing

O'Reilly secretly scolded Cooper for being an idiot, and at the same time, he liked the smell of gunpowder so much. Because only when there is a conflict between the two will the show have good ratings. Compared with the sour irony in front of him, he can't wait for them to roll up their sleeves and fight in the live broadcast room so that he can get a very good big red envelope this year.

It was just that when he turned his gaze to Laila, he found that she did not look at Cooper at all but with a faint smile on her mouth, beckoning to the audience closest to her.

Beckon…what's this trick?

O'Reilly feels as if it was not a teenage girl in front of him, but an old-fashioned lady, such as the one who has been in the Moran Group for decades like Osvid Moran, who built a small printing house to a media giant.

Look at Cooper's blushing and thick neck as if he was about to quarrel. He suddenly had a bad omen, and he always felt that things might not go as smoothly as initially thought.

Since both parties are on the same stage, O'Reilly must ask some questions that interest the audience.

"Cooper, many people know that from the beginning of 'The Blaire Witch,' you seem to have a lot of bad comments on Laila's movies. I want to know whether you are standing in the position of a film critic to say those things, or because Other reasons, such as our director is less than twenty years old?"

The audience applauded his question. Anyone who understands the ins and outs of the matter knows that since Laila brought her first work to Hollywood, Cooper has been chasing her and her films, and he has smashed her with bad movies and not giving up. Why on earth? Why target a talented young director like this? Is it just because she is a young lady?

Hearing this issue discussed in the background, Cooper finally suppressed the anger in his heart against Laila first and was ready to use this issue to "whitewash" himself.

"I am a film critic, and I must learn more about some movies for everyone. Simply put, I am a drug tester. After a movie is released, I will try to see if it is poisonous before recommending it to everyone." He said. Very humble, so that some people who did not have a good impression of him slightly changed their views.

"It cannot be denied that everyone's tastes are different. What is good for some people may become poison for others. To be honest, Director Moran and I have no grudges, and there is no need to criticize her. What I said and did were my true thoughts."

O'Reilly's questions and his answers were designed from the beginning. First, O'Reilly asked sharp questions, which seemed to be accusing him, but in fact, it gave him a chance to defend. Then he will take the opportunity to explain his "real" ideas, to reverse a large part of the public's hatred of him.

I have to say that they were successful, and their singing and harmony really eased many people's views on him.

Just listen to O'Reilly asking again: "Then why do you think Laila's second film will fail?"

Cooper sighed: "It's better to say that I still don't know why she succeeded, rather than why I thought she would fail. In my opinion, no, it's not just me, but in the eyes of many film critics. It's a movie with only killings and blood, and there is nothing worth paying attention to in it. I really can't understand why so many people love it." After he finished speaking, he didn't forget to smile at the camera.

Laila's eyes narrowed, and a smile was drawn at the corner of her mouth. The cooperation between the two of them is excellent, one seems to be on her side, and the other does not forget to continue to discredit her while washing himself white.

But she didn't speak. She just smiled so faintly, watching the interaction between the two with a flat look like an outsider.

O'Reilly and Cooper were pleased to communicate with each other with their set of questions and answers. These questions and answers are very important, at least for the plan to be carried out for a while. Whether things can be done or not depends on the audience's acceptance of those words.

O'Reilly was also amused in his heart at the same time. Fortunately, Laila didn't know much about these secret methods and didn't interrupt them in the middle. Otherwise, it's hard to say what the result would be.

As he thought about it, he looked at Laila, who had been deliberately forgotten. He was met with Laila's icy blue eyes that don't seem to be warm.

With O'Reilly's decades of reporter experience, after being looked at by such a pair of eyes, his heart couldn't help but miss a beat. It was not a threatening look, nor was it an angry look. It was just a simple, seemingly ordinary look, but it gave him such a strong impact.

In the end, what happened? He would never admit that he was frightened by the look of a young girl.

"Ah, Cooper." He changed the subject to conceal his inner shock. "I think everyone sitting here, as well as the audience friends sitting in front of the TV, have a question, that is, why did you take this bet? When you take it, have you already thought that you would lose?"

Cooper shrugged: "Yes, I did think that I might lose." Of course, this is a lie. You must know that if he ends up like this, he will take the bet, only if he is crazy. But here on stage, the last thing you can't tell is the truth.

O'Reilly made a surprised expression according to the initially prepared script: "Then why do you want to follow? Don't tell me that you have an unusual love for donkey butts."

Cooper frowned and gave him a secret glance. There is no sentence after him in the designed lines. Does the extra sentence treat him as a fool? This group of bastards who only know the ratings!

He cursed in his heart, but he couldn't let his anger go. He could only suffocate his breath: "Nowadays, young people are too arrogant. Having a little achievement is like winning the whole life. She is a talented director. I don't want her to stop because of this achievement. At least, I hope that my supervision can make her go further. Looking at the results at this time, I think I did something very right."

Even if he had known he would say such a thing, O'Reilly was deeply moved by his shame. It seemed as if people's success depended on him pushing behind him.

"Haha." He smiled and turned his head to Laila: "Laila, what do you think of him? Do you think he helped you?"
