Chapter 1142: Cooper's Battlefield (2)
Cooper is very good at finding his opponent's weaknesses and making the final blow in a targeted manner. The most important thing is that he is still very patient, and in order to achieve his goals, he can target the enemy he considers for ten or twenty years.
And he was also very successful, successfully forcing the original immortal bird into a difficult situation. It can be said that if Reynolds had not died early, and if the dead bird was still in the hands of that man, the company would have been forced into bankruptcy and liquidation long ago.
It will become like that, firstly, it has to do with Reynolds's own personality, and secondly, Cooper's film reviews have also played a big role.
Cooper was one of the film critics who ran himself very successfully before Leila grew up, and his film critics were often sharp about those films, so he was favored by many movie lovers. People are willing to read his film reviews, thinking that what he says makes a lot of sense and has something to say, whether he has a good or bad review of the movie, people think he is right, and things are just like he said.
Before the advent of the Internet, film critics were a high-status profession in the film industry. The studio is willing to pay some price to ask them to say good things about their films, and if they can't buy him to say good things, at least they have to ask him not to say bad things.
In that time when the Internet was not popular, people wanted to know whether the movie was good or not, in addition to spreading word of mouth among friends, they could only use film reviews in the media. Imagine a new film that has been criticized from head to toe by a well-known film critic as unhuman, how many people are willing to waste money on bad movies?
People watch movies to have fun, to pursue what they want to know, not to make themselves feel uncomfortable.
Under his long-term and unremitting smearing, the Immortal Bird Company is actually famous and rotten, and they definitely don't want to see that kind of fame.
Why is it that when Leila took over the company, all the people in it were gone, and those who were reluctant to leave were just messing around? It was because the brand Immortal Bird had become a mudslide in the B-grade film production company, and any movie would be attacked by Cooper, and no one would want to buy their film CDs at all.
B-grade films rarely get the chance to be released, and even if they do, they don't have the money to promote them. It is difficult for a film without publicity to have a box office, and in this world where the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, there is also a Cooper eyeing him, and the company is quite capable of maintaining it for so many years.
Perhaps because the film he made never got the market it deserved, Reynolds became disheartened and focused on the pursuit of love and beauty.
If Lyra hadn't come into the world, Cooper would have been the one who had the last laugh. Reynolds died, and the immortal bird was also destroyed by his own hands, and his life was naturally complete.
It's a pity that Leila is here, and she has proven her abilities again and again with movies that outsiders can't imagine. People believe Cooper's previous film reviews because he has something to say. But when he says something that doesn't quite approve of Leila's film in order to discredit it, his career faces a huge crisis for the first time.
Reynolds's films are all B-grade films with little investment, props are the most economical equipment, and the actors are also the cheapest.
In the case of tens of thousands of dollars to make a film, Reynolds is unlikely to show through the film even if he has more and more powerful ideas. And if you want to complain about shoddy films, there are really too many slots for Cooper to choose from.
Spray special effects, spray plot, spray background, spray actors...... It can be said that no matter where he sprays, he can dig up a bunch of things that can be sprayed. If the audience really watched that film, even if it was a little interesting at the time, they would feel that they should really watch a bad movie after being criticized by such a large chase. It's nothing in it, isn't it what Cooper said?
But it's different for Leila, she did make a film with 100,000 yuan at the beginning. Cooper criticized with the reasons of "shaking the footage of the dead", "deceiving the audience", and "the film about witches has never appeared at all", but the result is "innovative shooting techniques", "wonderful suspense plot" and so on.
It's not that Cooper's shoes don't work hard, but that the opponent is too strong and grows too fast. Almost before he could react, he had grown to the point of having a large number of loyal fans. And any movie is hundreds of millions of dollars, even Hollywood treats her as a piece of glittering gold, and a group of young people are chasing and shouting behind her. What can he do under all circumstances?
The end of his insistence on fighting is probably his current situation, and the film reviews criticizing Leila are not willing to be published by the media, and even the former home base of the New York Post has been bought by rivals.
The only thing he is glad for is that he has mastered the skills of speaking out on the Internet and knows how to use the Internet to attack her. In his opinion, this is a more convenient and good way to hide his identity. He doesn't even need to reveal his identity, he can rely on words to capture a large number of supporters, which is simply a wonderful thing!
And there is no need to doubt his writing, from his previous popularity, you can know that this person is definitely a man who can fight with articles, and the Internet is his new battlefield!
He wrote in a recent article: "There are a lot of things that can be seen in the trailer, including enough attractive protagonists, and enough eye-catching special effects, but it also exposes its weaknesses, and if director Moran is not able to solve that problem, I believe we will see this film that is said to compete with "Avatar" for the first place in film history, and it will become an out-and-out joke of the century." ”
"It's hard to shoot group scenes, there's nothing wrong with that. But the mistakes that Leila may make are not as simple as just a group play, we must see what kind of group play it is, and who are in it. ”
"From the trailer, we can see that there are several superheroes who have appeared in previous Marvel movies. Each of them has amazing power and a huge following, but they also have their own personalities and ways of doing things. If they are in a movie by themselves, they are definitely the unbeatable protagonists. Just like Director Moran's previous filming of "Iron Man". Iron Man is cool and handsome, and he also mightily saved the world and created peace, and it can be said that it was a very successful commercial film. ”
"But the problem now is, it's not one person, it's a group of superheroes!"
