Chapter 98 - The stumbling blocks of the deadline

The host was satisfied and ended the talk show after a few words.

The satisfaction of the program group, because this time the ratings have created a record high.

Cooper was satisfied, and he finally found a confidant.

Laila, who turned off the TV with a smile, was also satisfied. Thanks to An Min'er, the topic of this time was completely ignited. It seems that she doesn't have to worry that the box office is insufficient.

As for the r-class, she doesn't care at all. The so-called classic is a kind of charm, and this charm is enough to make people crazy.

The judges selected the original "saw" as NC-17 during the initial review. That is, people under the age of 17 cannot watch it. After some re-editing, it was rated as R-rated. The results of it? North America won $55 million and more than $100 million box offices worldwide. So R-class has never been the focus of Laila.

It's just that others don't think so.

After the show was broadcast, it immediately triggered a new round of discussions.

If it turns out that half of the people thought that Laila had a great chance of victory, many of them also began to think she doesn't have a chance after watching the show.

At the same time, the appearance of An Min'er made Cooper notice that another aspect was that he had paid too much attention to the work itself and forgot other constraints. How can he not be black? So began to look for more factors that are not conducive to the "saw" box office. Not to mention, he really found it out.

"Haha! See how you laugh this time!"

The neighbors living near Cooper's house heard long-lasting laughter from their home. Although the children in that family repeatedly explained with shame that the TV was malfunctioning, who would believe such an absurd explanation?

Early the following day, Demi hurriedly followed when she saw Laila entering the office.

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

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

"It's just a report. What's the fuss about?" She said so, and she took a good look at it.

Demi is dying of anxiety. How can she not be anxious? What was written in the newspaper was so scary that she almost forgot to breathe after seeing it.

"Miss Moran, this seems to be true!"

Laila waved to her indifferently: "You 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 and do things as she told her.

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

Sure enough, it was Cooper's moth. This time he did not continue to discredit the film itself but told everyone from other sources that her bet this time could not even exist for one in 10,000.

The article pointed out that due to the profits created by "The Blaire Witch" on Halloween last year, a large number of filmmakers noticed this previously neglected schedule, which resulted in this year's Halloween in addition to the already determined "saw", there are four horrors. Thriller movies will be released at the same time, many of which are very powerful.

After half an hour, Louise came to Laila's office on time, knocked on the door, and saw that she was reading the newspaper. But what left her speechless was that she was watching the economic version instead of the entertainment version that should be paid attention to. As the owner of a film production company, is this really good?

"Laila, are you looking for me?"

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

"I've seen it just now."

"What's said above is true?"

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

Regardless of whether it is for Laila's instructions, or for future plans, or for the bet that the entire United States is enthusiastically discussing, it is impossible to change the screening date. Even knowing that several movies of the same genre will be released simultaneously is not very interesting. In order not to burden Laila's heart, she chose to hide it.

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

"Yes, I know." Louise nodded in shame. Regardless of whether she is thinking about her, it is indeed her negligence for not reporting this kind of thing to the boss, even if she is angry.

But in fact, Laila was not angry, and she couldn't get mad about such a small matter. Because her confidence in the "saw" is absolute, the classic charm will not lose her brilliance because of those tiny fireflies.

"What are the other four movies, do you know?" she asked.

Louise had already done an investigation, and she immediately replied after asking: "The first "Flying Night" was co-produced by Italy and the United States, and the new line cinema was responsible for the release. It should be the one with the least threat. Actors to directors are not well-known."

"The second one is "I Know What You Did Last Summer" by director Jim Gillespie. It shouldn't be a big threat."

"The third is the fantasy horror film "Wishmaster" by director Robert Kurtzman. There are Robert Englund and Tony Todd. We need to pay attention to it."

"Tony Todd?" Laila raised her eyebrows when she heard the name.

"Yes, he has appeared in many movies and is an excellent actor."

Of course, Laila knew him, and he had played an essential role throughout several films in the original "Final destination". It was only this time that she knew that the schedule had been set before the filming was planned, and the other people who had chosen did not expect to star in a movie that was against her. For this, she could only mourn him silently in her heart. Who told him to be opponent with her.

"Then?" She made a gesture for her to "continue."

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

Laila looked at her: "Why?"

"First of all, it is the sequel of "American Werewolves in London", which is a movie that once won an Oscar. Secondly, it stars Tom Scott and Julie Delpy. Finally, it is a rare werewolf theme. I think many people will be interested in it."

Laila smiled, nodded, and shook her head: "Yes, its subject matter is quite interesting. But I'm afraid I have to disagree with your other points. The American werewolf did win an Oscar in London, but it was just the best make-up. The award is nothing but the award. And the original film does not necessarily have a good box office. What about the sequel? Do you think it can surpass our film?"

Louise hesitated. She has watched the finished film of "saw", and with her experience, it is not difficult to see that the film has the possibility of reaching the classic palace. 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 can she relax that bet on her head?

You must know that it is not $10 million, but $100 million at the box office!
