Chapter 34 - Cooper again

"I can't help asking, what's going on in this world? Are movies with deep, connotation and philosophy no longer liked? Why does a film that frightens the audience have such a big impact?"

　　"Throughout the history of film , There are countless excellent films emerging in endlessly. What brings us to think, what we cherish, and what gives us spiritual strength is what the movie should do, isn't it?"

　　"Someone might say, please, this Is it a horror film, does it require so much truth? I want to ask, don't it? Can't horror film crime films make excellent works? David Finch's "Seven" in 1995 and Luc Besson's "This Killer Is Not So Cold(Léon: The Professional)" in 1994, Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction", "The Silent Lamb" in 1991, etc. I can cite countless examples to prove it."

　　"Then. What is it for our young people to start getting caught up in a movie that has nothing but screams? This is a question worth thinking about."

　　Cooper's comment caused a small discussion. Because he has something to say in many cases, he still has a good status in film critics, and there are many audiences who support him. This is also why he can make films produced by Phoenix once a film review alone to be named "bad film".

　　The same is true this time. There are not a few people who support him. They believe that a movie should have depth, soul, and educational significance. It is simply to cheat money like the Blair Witch and cannot be regarded as a movie at all.

　　But there are more people who oppose him, and almost all of them are young people.

　　They don't care about the educational significance or the depth of their souls. They only know that the adrenaline secretion caused by fear when watching the Blair witch makes them very happy. Isn't a scary horror movie, the best horror movie? If you really stuff a horror movie with preaching things, you will be sleepy before you finish watching it.

　　Laila saw this report at home, and it was Claire who brought her the newspaper.

　　In fact, Claire doesn't approve of her making movies. In her opinion, the work is too hard. It takes a long time to just write the script, but also to prepare for the shooting task, to find actors and to coordinate the work of various departments. Not to mention the hard work during shooting. The same shot can't be done once, and it's normal to shoot ten or eight times.

　　After the filming is finished, it is not the end. Post-production, editing, soundtrack, etc., everything is inseparable from her instructions. Such a heavy workload is simply not suitable for a young girl who has just recovered. If Laila hadn't been very fond of this work, she would have opposed her continuing to shoot.

　　A movie earns more than one hundred million to two hundred million is very powerful, but can it be more important than a healthy body? That's why she put all kinds of bad reviews in front of her intentionally or unintentionally at the first time, hoping to dispel her interest in continuing to shoot movies through other people's words.

　　However, Claire did not know how much a director can have so many rights that other directors envy. Laila, who knows this well, is too late to be happy, so how can she feel too much work?

　　"Laila, this is really too much. But I think what he said also makes sense. How about going to school to learn some related knowledge?"

　　Claire thinks that as long as she can leave the film company temporarily, it won't take long. Help her dilute her love of movies.

　　After seeing the report, Laila not only didn't get angry, but looked through it word by word with a smile, as if it was not her movie at all.

　　After reading it twice, she put down the newspaper "Is the things learned at school really useful?"

　　"Of course! If there is no systematic study, how can you understand clearly? Look at the most famous directors, no Are they all graduated from excellent universities?"

　　Laila smiled "Yes, you are right. But there are still a large number of directors who have not studied at all and have produced excellent works, have they? "

　　"Is there? Why don't I know." Claire hasn't studied the director's circle, so she doesn't know what the truth is. But even if She knew it, she would never admit it, as Laila said.

　　Laila didn't argue with her, and patted the back of her hand comfortingly "Don't worry, I know what to do."

　　"Oh." Claire sighed softly. There was really nothing she could do with her "What about this person." He pointed at you again and again, do you want me to do something to make him close that nasty mouth?"

　　"No trouble." Laila waved her hand indifferently: "I actually don't mind him being against me, at all. "

　　"Why?" Claire felt unbelievable. If she were to be treated like this over and over again, she would have been angry. There is no reason why I would be less patient than an eighteen-year-old girl? Wouldn't it make me angry if I replaced it with anyone who made things that I had worked so hard to make messy?

　　Laila smiled and pointed to the newspaper "Don't you think he is actually helping me?"

　　"Help? How is it possible!" Claire didn't believe it.

　　"That's it. One is to be left behind, and the other is to be noticed all day long. Which one do you think is better for a movie?"

　　"Of course it was paid attention to." Does the movie that has been left behind still have the box office?

　　"That's not it." Laila smiled slightly and put the newspaper in her hands "What he is helping us now is to let more people discuss our film, and let more people know that there is such a Is it a controversial but miraculous movie?"

　　Claire was a little dizzy "Can you explain it this way?"

　　"Of course!" Laila pushed her back out of the room "Don't worry. Such a People still can't disturb my mood. Or do you think I'm a person who is easily beaten to give up?"

　　Claire was pushed out of the room reluctantly, only to say a few words like "Don't be too reluctant, pay attention to your body." Closed the door.

　　Holding the newspaper in her hand, looking at Cooper's article in a large page, she didn't know whether she was angry, shook her head amusedly 'If the one named Cooper knew that his article was treated as an advertisement by Laila, I don't know what kind of expression it will be.'

　　But this also made her decide to investigate the events of the year. She wondered why this person named Cooper would target Laila and Phoenix. Although it sounds from others' mouths that Laila lay innocently, she was completely involved by her father Reynolds.

　　It may be possible for a person to hate the company to the extent that they have to criticize Laila again and again regardless of Moran's surname. It is better to pay attention to something.
