Chapter 1104: A Change in Public Opinion

Once there are many people paying attention, all kinds of ideas that have been biased by the article have also emerged. Some people have begun to speculate whether the awards that Leila won before were deliberately awarded to her in order not to be branded as "sexist"? Otherwise, how could she have won so many top awards at such a young age?

And at this time, Layla, reminded by Demi, saw this article.

After reading it, she didn't think of any way to eliminate the impact of this article for the time being. Because what is written on it seems too real, it is also likely to be a real thing.

Regardless of whether she explains it or not, people who have read the article will make unfavorable judgments against her under the guidance of the article, and some award judges who haven't thought much about it before can't help but subconsciously think in this direction. If this continues, it is very likely that awards that do not belong to her will be awarded to her for similar reasons.

She couldn't allow that to happen!

Maybe countless people are willing to acquiesce to this kind of thing in order to win the award, but she can't stand it. She even made the decision that if things really couldn't be resolved, she would withdraw from all film awards in the future. As for the movie, of course she will continue to shoot, isn't it just that she won't win any more awards? The awards she wants have already been obtained, and no matter how much she wins, it's just the icing on the cake, and she can accept this loss!

Yes, she told herself again and again that she was okay with not going to participate in any awards. But in the end, she found that she couldn't deceive herself.

Why do all filmmakers want those awards? It's a kind of affirmation of themselves! Who doesn't want to be recognized by others? Even she is the same, except for the box office, only awards can tell her whether she is recognized or not! And now, she may lose her future way to win awards because of an article, how can she accept this?

Just as she was trying to find a solution, the events in the outside world continued to ferment.

At the beginning, she said that she used the hat of "sexism" to "force" major awards to give her awards, which was to destroy her path to be recognized. And now the new article is going to shoot at her from her movie.

"Is Leila Moran really the greatest film director of the century? Can she really be called a living legend in Hollywood? Who gave her this title?"

The article uses a series of questions to hold the reader's heart tightly at the beginning and attract them to continue reading.

And then the article itself gives the answer, and this answer will certainly not be on Leila's side.

"Why can a director who is not even 30 years old get so much honor? Great? Hollywood is a living legend! Everyone knows that since the creation of movies, there have been countless excellent directors and actors, and when we watch previous films, we will fall in love with their charm. But what director is said to be a 'living legend'?"

"Some people may say it's because she did well at the box office. Well, she did a great job at that. But please don't forget, there is another director who has far surpassed her in this regard! Do you remember? The whirlwind of "Avatar" that has just blown has won $3 billion worldwide! The current film history record, the first and second places are occupied by this great director, and who has brought such a wonderful crown of "living legend" on his head?"

"Looking at the Golden Globe awards, is it really wrong to give him and "Avatar" the best director and best picture? Aren't you crazy about that amazing movie? Such a result was pulled into 'sexism', and in the end, our amazing director Cameron lost the award he deserved, and everyone didn't think about whether this result was fair to him?"

While praising Cameron's box office, the article belittles Lyra's results without a trace. He doesn't care how many movies Leila has created in the same time, and how many box office they have, just use one to tell everyone that the person who really deserves the award, the person who should be called "Hollywood's living legend" should be James Cameron, not a Leila Moran who can't compare to her in anything!

Gradually, countless people were influenced by this view.

"Layla really isn't as good as she thought she could be. ”

"Who gave the 'living legend'? It can't be that she named it herself and then publicized it, right?"

"She is the heir to Moran Media, and it is so easy to get the media to cooperate with her propaganda. ”

I don't know who it is, but I also found a report from the "Entertainment Reporter", which was written with the words "Hollywood Living Legend", which of course was Layla.

The screenshot of this newspaper was instantly circulated, which also added a lot of credibility to what was said in the previous article. Everyone knows that "Entertainment Home" is one of the largest media under Moran Media, and even it has written it itself, and it must be inseparable from them.

The trend of public opinion changed very quickly under the guidance of well-intentioned people, not only did Leila not have time to react, but the lying "Entertainment Family Daily" could only cry out for itself behind her back.

They wanted to tell those people, take a closer look at when the story was published, and all the people out there called her by that word, and they just did the same thing as everyone else, and how did they end up being the ones who brought it up?

But their words can't be spread outside, and even if they do, few people want to listen to them. In the eyes of the public, that title "Entertainment Home Daily" did report, and naturally it was spread by them. As for whether other media outlets use the same name, who can guarantee that they didn't learn it?

So it's really unclear who gave Leila Ann such a title in the first place, and the only evidence that can be found is the report of "Entertainment Home". Of course, people will believe that everything is done by Moran Media, in order to earn a reputation for their little bosses.

People are blinded into seeing only what the masterminds behind the scenes want them to see, ignoring the facts that they have seen with their own eyes.

They forgot that legend is not legendary, and that Leila has never said that about herself on any occasion. They also forgot how good the films Leila had made, and the experiences they had had when they were moved by her films.

They also forgot how much they had looked forward to her films, and how fiercely they fought for justice when her films didn't win.

For a while, public opinion in the outside world began to turn in a strange direction. More and more people are beginning to find that they seem to have been "deceived" by Leila, how can she be so young, how can she pose high in front of a group of seniors who debuted earlier than her and made many classic films? If she is a living legend, then what should other great directors be called?
