Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 98
The host was satisfied, and ended the talk show after saying a few words.

The program group is satisfied, because the ratings this time have set a new high in history.

Satisfied, Cooper finally found a confidant.

Laila, who turned off the TV with a smile, was also satisfied. Thanks to An Miner, the firepower of the topic was completely ignited this time. It seemed that she didn't have to worry about the lack of box office.

She doesn't care about the R rating at all, the so-called classic is a kind of charm, and this kind of charm is enough to make people crazy.

The original SAW was rated NC-17 by the judges during the initial review, that is, those under the age of 17 cannot watch it, and it was rated R after some re-editing.The results of it?It won 5500 million in North America and more than 1 million in the global box office.So the R rating was never a concern for Lyra.

It's just that other people don't think so.

Immediately after the broadcast of the program, a new round of discussion was triggered.

If it was said that half of the people believed that Leila had a great chance of winning, many of them also began to think that she was very dangerous after watching the show.

At the same time, the appearance of An Miner made Cooper notice another aspect, that is, he used to pay too much attention to the work itself and forgot about other constraints.How could he not be black if he could be black?So I started looking for more factors that are not conducive to SAW's box office.Not to mention, he really found it out.

"Haha! Let's see how you laugh this time!"

Neighbors who lived near Cooper's house heard long-lasting laughter coming from their house. Although the children in that family repeatedly explained in shame that the TV was out of order, who would believe such an absurd explanation?
Early the next morning, Demi saw Laila enter the office and hurried to follow.

"Miss Morland, it's not good. Look at this!"

"What's the matter?" Laila took the newspaper she handed over and looked at it. It turned out that Cooper had made another comment.

"It's just a report, what's there to make a fuss about?" Having said that, she read it leisurely.

Demi is in a hurry, how can she not be in a hurry?What was written in the newspaper was so scary that she almost lost her breath after seeing it.

"Miss Moran, it seems to be true!"

Lila waved her hand indifferently: "Go ahead and let Louise come up in half an hour. By the way, tell her that I am looking for her because of this report."

"Okay." Demi knew that it was useless to be anxious, so she had to go out to do things according to her instructions.

Taking advantage of this time, Laila read the newspaper articles at a glance.

Sure enough, it was another moth made by Cooper.This time he did not continue to smear the film itself, but told everyone through other aspects that her bet this time could not even have a ten-thousandth hope.

The article pointed out that due to the profits created by Blair the Witch on Halloween last year, a large number of film companies noticed this previously neglected schedule, so this year's Halloween has four horror movies besides the long-determined SAW. Thriller movies will be released at the same time, and there are many strong movies among them.

Half an hour later, Louise came to Leila's office on time, knocked on the door and saw her reading a newspaper.But what made her speechless was that what she watched was the economic version instead of the entertainment version that she should pay attention to.As the owner of a film production company, is that really okay?
"Laila, are you looking for me?"

"Yes." Laila put the newspaper aside, and took out the report with Cooper printed on it: "Have you read this?"

"I've seen it just now."

"Is it true what it says?"

"It's true, but I didn't tell you about it because I was worried that you would have unnecessary worries." Louise smiled apologetically at her.

Whether SAW is because of Leila's instructions, or for future plans, or for the bet that the whole of the United States is frantically discussing, it is impossible to change the screening date.Even knowing that several movies of the same type will be released at the same time is not very interesting. In order not to burden Lila's heart, she chose to hide it.

"Remember to tell me the same thing next time." Laila reminded.

"Yes, I see." Louise nodded in shame.Regardless of whether she was thinking of her or not, it was indeed her dereliction of duty for not reporting this kind of thing to the boss, even if she was angry with herself, she should be.

But in fact Laila was not angry at all, and it was impossible for her to be angry over such a trivial matter.Because her confidence in SAW is absolute, the classic charm will not lose its brilliance just because of those little fireflies.

"Do you know what the other four movies are about?" she asked.

Louise had obviously already done the research, and she answered immediately after she asked: "The first "Night Flyer" was co-produced by Italy and the United States, and New Line Films was in charge of distribution. It should be the least threatening one. From actors to directors, they are not well-known."

"The second is director Jim Glaspie's 'I Know What You Did Last Summer,' which should be less threatening."

"The third is the fantasy horror film "Devil's Roar" by director Robert Kertzman. There are Robert Englund who participated in Elm Street and Tony Todd who starred in the island of death. We need to pay attention to it. part of."

"Tony Todd?" Lyra raised an eyebrow at the name.

"Yeah, he's been in a lot of movies and he's a really good actor."

Lyra knew him of course, he had played a major role in several films in the original Reaper.It's just that she chose someone else when she knew the schedule had been set before the filming started, but she didn't expect to star in a movie that opposed her.For this, she could only mourn for him silently in her heart, who told him that it was not good to be a rival with someone, but he had to be with her.

"Then?" She gestured for her to "go on".

Louise nodded, her face became more serious: "I think our biggest opponent should be "American Werewolf in Paris"."

Laila looked at her. "Why?"

"First of all, it's a sequel to "American Werewolf in London," which won an Oscar. Second, it stars Tom Scott and Julie Delpy respectively. Finally, it's a rare werewolf theme, and I I think a lot of people will be interested in it."

Lila smiled, nodded and shook her head again: "Yes, its subject matter is quite interesting. But I don't agree with your other points. American Werewolf did win an Oscar in London, but it was only for Best Makeup It’s just an award, it’s not important at all. And the original film doesn’t necessarily do well at the box office, so what if it’s a sequel? Do you really think it can surpass our film?”

Louise hesitated.She has seen the finished film of SAW, and based on her experience, it is not difficult to see that the film has the possibility of becoming a classic.If there was no such bet, she could pat her chest with a smile and say that her company got another golden egg this time.But how could she relax with that bet on her head?

You must know that it is not 1000 million, but a box office of [-] million!
