Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 72 Interview
"Everyone is very concerned about your second film. Is it really a film that is thrown into the warehouse after filming and has no value at all?"

Owen's first question hit the mark, unlike many other reporters or hosts who chat with the interviewee first, or talk about some light topics before cutting in.

Lyra liked the directness, so she decided to follow his pace too.

"I also saw that Mr. Cooper's article. To be honest, when I saw it, I was first amused and then angry."

"What do you find funny? And why are you angry?"

Laila spread her hands: "If you have an excellent film that you put all your heart and soul into making, and is ready to be released on an important date, and is pinned with infinite expectations, it is said that it is a bad film that was thrown into the warehouse after shooting, don't you think it's funny? ?"

Owen laughed amused by her innocent look: "Then why are you angry?"

Laila narrowed her eyes: "In Mr. Cooper's article, I can see that he is a person with a strong sense of social responsibility. He said he didn't want to discourage young directors like me, although he did. I still believe he is thinking of the directors. It's a pity that he doesn't want more people making movies that make money but make no sense like me."

"Is that why you're angry? Because you're being hit, bashed, blamed?"

"Yes, I have to admit there are some." Lyra smiled at his question.He really deserved to be the person Anthony found, and he pointed out what she didn't say clearly.She also really wanted to point at Cooper's nose and curse, but unfortunately with her status there, she could only point at Sang and curse Huai at most.

"In my opinion, Mr. Cooper seems to have a big misunderstanding about movies. Why are movies divided into many categories? Does every movie need to be educational? Yes, there are many movies that do have profound The world-awakening significance of the movie also got a high box office. But that’s not all.”

"It may be that Mr. Cooper is too old to understand the thoughts of our younger generation. I have to say that a movie is not just an educational film, it is more of an entertainment. For example, today I went to the movies with my friends, just I want to watch some absurd comedies that can make us happy. Another example is that someone is bored and wants to watch some horror movies that can make their adrenaline soar. So does it mean that these purely commercial movies have no meaning in existence? gone?"

Owen nodded: "Then do you think there is no need for educational significance in commercial movies?"

Laila raised her eyebrows at his provocative question: "Then I want to ask, what is the meaning of education? Teaching to be kind? Teaching to love peace? Or erecting a correct outlook on life and the world? All the things in horror movies People are helping each other desperately trying to escape. Is this teaching the spirit of being kind and helping each other? Aliens are coming, and our soldiers are struggling to resist. Is this a correct outlook on life and the world? Then commercial movies are not Are all of them educational?"

Owen didn't expect to meet an interesting partner this time. He had to admit that the young lady in front of him was more eloquent than he thought.When he came, he learned from Anthony that she was a person who didn't like being exposed to the media, and he thought it was because she didn't know how to speak.Now it seems that it's not that she doesn't know how to deal with the media, it's just that she really has no interest.

In this society where everyone wants to promote themselves, there is a girl like her who is "indifferent to fame and wealth", which is really a rare existence.

In the following interview, Laila fully used all kinds of mocking techniques of the ancient oriental country to Cooper, and she was even more proficient in swearing without profanity.At the end of the interview, even Irving said that her participation in the talk show will definitely have amazing results.

He also didn't know why some words and phrases that he was used to listening to usually had a feeling of laughing when they came out of her mouth.But if he stands in the opposite angle to her, it will make her mad. He guesses that Cooper will be very angry after seeing the interview, and maybe he will lose his mind.

Lila's original intention was exactly the same, Halloween was still a few months away at the end of October, and she wanted more people to know about SAW, so she needed to make the pool more cloudy.As she said before, with Cooper helping her to continuously increase her popularity, it is difficult not to be famous.

In order for Cooper to help her more wholeheartedly, it is of course necessary to add fire appropriately.To see whether the effect afterward is good or not, it depends on whether her fire is strong enough.

But seeing Owen's expression after the interview, Laila knew that she should have done well.

The next day, the interview with her was published in the "Entertainment News", and according to Anthony's request, the newspaper reserved an entire page for her.It not only introduced some of her situation, but also published the interview with her verbatim.

Yes, not a single word was deleted or changed.

Journalists are professionals who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, and the more topical they are, the more exciting they can be touched.Seeing that Leila's flag has been raised, how can they not cheer for it?

As a result, the sales volume of the newspaper that day was 20% higher than usual, and some cooperative media have asked for cooperation, hoping to forward their interview content.And Leila's "bad movie that was so bad that it was thrown into the warehouse as soon as it was shot" also officially appeared in front of the public.

It turned out that the film was called SAW. It turned out that it wasn’t so bad that it was worthless, but that it was treasured and selected for the best time to broadcast. It turned out that the talented director not only didn’t run out of talent, but was full of energy and started shooting her third movie. !
For a while, whenever there is communication, the names of Leila and SAW will appear.Especially on the Internet with the most young people, all kinds of words supporting Leila and cursing Cooper can be seen everywhere.

"Shet!" Cooper smashed his coffee mug in the study.At this time, what was displayed on his computer was what Laila's fans were yelling at him. These people didn't have any scruples about Laila, and they could say whatever they really wanted, so the words were extremely ugly.He was so angry that he almost couldn't catch his breath and passed out.

"Didn't you tell me that it was a bad movie that was locked in a warehouse?" He grabbed the phone, and when he connected, he snarled all over his head and face.

"...What? You said you never said it was a bad movie? It's all my misunderstanding? Shet! I don't want to hear you talk about this anymore! I want violent stories, I want violent stories that will make her fall!"

He didn't want to listen to the other person's words at all, and hung up the phone in a rage.He was very angry because he knew that what the other party said was indeed the truth.When he heard that the second film was made, he kept it in his collection, and there was no follow-up at all, so he preconceived it and took it for granted that it was a bad film with no value.

Otherwise, how could a small company that is not as big as a mouse's tooth put a movie with more than 200 million shots on hold instead of releasing it immediately?Especially when it is full of controversy!He didn't believe that a teenage girl would have such a strong endurance.
