King of Hollywood

Chapter 264 This is simply too much!

"Gary Oldman once again showed his villainous qualities in the film as a neurotic, evil cop who secretly dealt drugs because an informant embezzled a tenth of the drug, He just killed everyone in the opponent's family. But such a person likes to listen to Beethoven and Mozart, and likes to kill people while taking drugs while listening to classical music. The contradictory character is evident. Gary basically integrated himself into it, whether it is eyes and The body language fully shows what this evil policeman should look like, because of his excellent performance, this movie should be given a point.

In addition, Jean Reno, the originally unknown French actor, also has an equally wonderful performance. He plays the role of a ruthless killer at work, but usually full of childlike innocence, because he rescued the family killed by Gary. The only surviving girl in the village, and started a duel with Gary, and finally both of them died. His image fully shows the character's taciturnity, and endows him with a melancholy temperament. His actions make the character flamboyant and at the same time have unusual enthusiasm. He makes this killer character look alive, and no one can underestimate it. he.

However, the most eye-catching character in the whole movie is Matilda played by Miss Natalie Portman, who is only 12 years old. This is a girl who is precocious, fragile, strong and sensitive. She was born in a family without family affection, but she loves her younger brother very much. She can remain calm and cheerful when she witnesses the family tragedy. The killer asked for help, thus entered the killer's life, and had some subtle feelings with the other party. I have to say that Natalie is the most talented girl I have ever seen. I never imagined that a 12-year-old girl could do so well. Matilda is completely integrated, making people unable to distinguish each other. It can be said that if this movie lacks her, it will lose at least one third of its color.”

Martin Philip of the "Los Angeles Times" commented in great detail on the acting skills of the three leading actors in his column, and Natalie was the one who admired the most. She was not stingy with praise in the article, and so were most of the critics .

"This reminds me of Jodie Foster's performance in "Taxi Driver". Although Natalie is still a little lacking compared to Judy, considering her age, she can give full marks."— —Eddie Baker, USA TODAY

"She's so good, you can't help but applaud, and if Gary and Jean hadn't finally found their feet, maybe the show would have been stolen." - Bruce Collins, The New York Times

Hollywood always favors young actors. To a certain degree of acting skills, it's not a big deal for adults, but it's a very talented performance for children. This is also the reason why many child stars are very good when they grow up, but they don't know much about it when they grow up. Everyone knows that when climbing up, the closer to the peak, the harder it is. Moving forward is not easy even for adult actors, let alone these growing children.

To put it simply, the starting point is too high and the growth space is too narrow, and there are all kinds of temptations along the way. If you don't pay attention, you may fall down and never get up again. There are countless examples of this in Hollywood. That's why there is such a saying as the curse of child stars, so for child stars, if they want to get rid of this curse, they need opportunities, suitable roles and suitable positioning more than others.

"This Killer Is Not So Cold" won the love of many people, and it got nearly 20 million box office in the first week of its release in 1,500 theaters. Some of Adrian's fans cheered wildly. Director Miracle has finally returned to the ranks of cult movies. Although some people said that this movie is so warm that it is not a cult movie at all, but at least it is not like "Howard End". This kind of boring film has exciting and hot scenes and warm and sad plots. It is naturally worthy of the joy of movie fans who like to watch stories.

This also suppressed some comments to a certain extent, although Adrian has been very careful to deliberately downplay some ambiguous plots, such as Matilda telling the administrator in the apartment that Leon is her lover, or Holding a pistol to his head and crying to Leon, these plots confuse love, father-daughter relationship and life-saving grace, etc., but the main line is after all the relationship between Wei Shu and little Lolita, so it will inevitably provoke some who pretend to be moralists guy's attack.

"I don't understand why this director would choose such a subject and describe the abnormal love between a middle-aged man and a girl in his early ten years from such a long page. This is not something God allows, and it is shameful" Salt Lake City A local newspaper commented that Utah is the most conservative state in the United States, and such words have always emerged in endlessly. Although other newspapers and media have the same meaning, they are much more cryptic than them.

There are people like this everywhere. Although a stable society will inevitably have stable mainstream values, it should also tolerate the existence of other ideas, and you can even slowly absorb useful parts to supplement yourself, as long as you don’t let them occupy too much right to speak. But it would be a bit ridiculous to criticize from a moral standpoint without even knowing the facts about what you insist on.

Although you don’t need to be morally perfect to criticize others on a moral level, you only need to be a little bit higher than the other party in morality, but the conservatives in Salt Lake City don’t have clean asses, and the one that broke out in Utah There are not one or two scandals, and I don't see how they are heartbroken.

Well, these are all digressions. Although it was attacked by conservatives, many critics said that "The Killer Is Not So Cold" is excellent, and fans also like it very much, so the prospect of the movie is still very good. According to Lavern's estimation, it should not be a problem to get a box office of about 60 million in North America with the current momentum. As for Europe, because of the joining of Jean Renault, at least it still has a lot of popularity in France.

This is the charm of a good story. As long as a story is logically self-consistent and supplemented by wonderful storytelling techniques, it will definitely attract the audience. During the period from the 1980s to the 1990s, with the rapid development of film technology, more and more storytelling methods became more and more ingenious, so so many classic movies were born.

It's a pity that after entering the 21st century, due to the proliferation of technology, profit-oriented filmmakers have basically turned to technology, so the quality of the story is not as good as before. Even so, it is much better than those European directors who are clinging to the old things. Although the technology is rampant, if it goes too far, it will naturally be corrected. , in essence, no different from those fanatical missionaries in the Middle Ages.

In short, two weeks after its release, "This Killer Is Not So Cold" has increased the number of theaters because all major productions have been offline, so the total box office in North America has risen to 40 million. Natalie gained the most. The media put various titles on her head, calling her the child star with the most potential. This is the different result caused by the difference in essence between Adrian and Luc Besson.

Luc Besson is French after all. Although the film investment also includes American funds, it is still labeled as a French film. Americans have always dismissed movies other than Hollywood, and Luc Besson was troubled by the French-specific romantic atmosphere. The original version of "This Killer Is Not So Cold" focuses on the ambiguous relationship between Wei Shushu and Little Lolita. Many critics resented it, so although it was well-known in Europe when it was released, it suffered Waterloo in the United States.

Now it is produced by director Adrian, the name of the director of Miracle is well known, and on the basis of retaining the key plot, targeted revisions have been made, and there are companies that are good at marketing, and the results achieved are natural. It is not something that Luc Besson can compare with, so Natalie has been lifted to a higher level.

Facing the pursuit of the media, Natalie still maintained her composure, and answered the reporter's questions very well. After all, she is a smart and precocious girl, and her mother is beside her. Of course, these are just appearances. In private, Natalie seems to be excited all the time, and her expression and tone are always proud.

Adrian understood the girl's feelings very well, but he still felt something was wrong, and he couldn't tell what was wrong, but it was very similar to what was wrong when Natalie took the initiative to show herself last time. But he didn't think too much. After sending Natalie and her mother off the plane to New York, and privately agreed with the girl to keep in touch with the letter, and told her agent Sandy to choose the script carefully, He began to focus on other aspects, because the Academy of Film announced the nomination list for the 66th Academy Awards on February 7

Unsurprisingly, "Schindler's List" was the most-watched film, with 11 nominations including best film, best director, and best actor; followed closely by "The Piano Lesson" , won 7 nominations for Best Film, Best Director, and Best Actress; the least is "Philadelphia Story", with 4 nominations for Best Actor, Best Original Screenplay, Best Makeup, and Best Soundtrack. Ann originally thought that Demi could get a best director nomination.

Excellent grades, right? Everything is expected. However, no matter how well the plan is, there will always be some troublesome things that cannot be expected, so it is necessary to make trade-offs according to the actual situation.

Adrian felt the warm body leave his embrace in a daze, so he yawned and opened his eyes. Charlize was sitting on the edge of the bed with his back to him wearing a flesh-colored bra.

"Ha, you got up so early?" Adrian, who had a half-birthday, propped his head on his arms and said jokingly.

"Because besides being an assistant and a secretary, I'm also half a nanny." Charlize said after turning her head and gave him a nonchalant glance, then as if on purpose, she stood up, took her underwear and bent down Going to wear it, the beautiful place was unreservedly displayed in front of Adrian. But the movement is still very slow, giving him enough time to appreciate it.

"Are you seducing me, Charlie?" Adrian asked with a smile.

"Whatever you think." Charlize said without turning her head, and at the same time accelerated her speed.

However, women have much more time to tidy up than men. Although Charlize speeded up, when she finished washing and sat in front of the dressing table to put on makeup, Adrian was ready to leave the bedroom.

"Ha, although you get up earlier than me, I still move faster." Adrian came behind the girl, leaned over and hugged her waist, buried his head in her hair, took a deep breath, and then Kissed her smooth gooseneck.

"What, didn't kk me enough last night? Do you want to continue now?" Charlize, who was applying lipstick for herself, looked at Adrian in the mirror and asked, as if she didn't care about anything.

"That's not a word a lady should say, Charlie." Adrian said with a chuckle looking at Charlize in the mirror.

"I'm not a lady." Charlize shrugged, "Help me, Ed, now that you're all dressed up, go downstairs and have breakfast, don't forget you're going to the movie company today."

"Okay, okay." Adrian kissed her pink neck again, "You too, don't forget, as my assistant and secretary, you have to go with me."

Hearing this, Charlize couldn't help but choked up, gritted her teeth in frustration, and turned her head after Adrian walked to the door: "By the way, there is one more thing, Ed, I hope you can prepare A mobile phone dedicated to contacting them, and don’t let them always call the receiver’s phone, otherwise I will not be responsible for any misunderstandings.”

Adrian took a deep look at her, then smiled slightly: "I will think about it, I promise."

Seeing the bedrooms closing in front of her, Charlize hugged her head with a long sigh. Oh shit, what the hell was I just talking about? What the hell is wrong with me? why am i so...

"Good morning, Mrs. Galen." Adrian came to the kitchen, and Mrs. Galen, who came early, was busy.

"Good morning, Mr. Adrian." Mrs. Galen nodded to him, "I'll bring it for you right away."

"No, no, just eat here." Adrian waved his hand, and sat directly at the kitchen table, took a sip of the coffee handed over by the other party.

"It's still so fragrant." Adrian said in admiration.

"Thank you." Mrs. Galen shrugged and placed breakfast in front of him one by one.

Adrian originally wanted to say something, but considering Kate's current situation, I'm afraid it will be impossible to live in the villa like before for a long time. Besides, although Mrs. Galen likes Kate, after all, it has been a year, and she has gotten used to his promiscuous behavior - to be exact, she has been used to it for a long time, and now it's just a relapse.

Speaking of Kate, she is still so attractive, no, more attractive than before. Adrian went to find her every time, and every time she turned into pandering in the weak resistance, when she thought of stripping her half-pushed half naked and throwing her on the bed, she crossed her arms and stared at her with resentful and shy eyes. Looking at himself, and lying helplessly and complicatedly in his arms, Adrian's heart was full of pleasure.

I sure am a jerk. He clicked tut twice in his heart, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He just felt that he should restrain himself a little bit. Both Monica and Julia noticed that women are very sensitive in this regard, especially when they already know Adrian What kind of person is Ann.

Naturally, Monica didn't care about anything. Although Julia was fine on the surface, she would sometimes lose her temper with excuses. Of course, this trick was useless in front of Adrian. She also thought of expressing something by "squeezing him dry" before, but unfortunately, she was almost fainted by Adrian every time, so in the end she had to pretend that she didn't know anything. Anyway, this is still a guess, so I should deal with the main Target. Yes, between Julia and Monica...

"Good morning, Mrs. Galen." Charlize's voice rang through the kitchen door.

"Good morning, Charlie," replied Mrs. Galen, nodding.

Adrian immediately interrupted his thoughts, unless necessary, don't think about other women in front of a woman, which he has always done very well.

He smiled at Charlize, but what he got was the girl's eyes. After shaking his head indifferently, Adrian read the newspaper in his hand while eating his own breakfast.

After finishing breakfast soon, I asked Glover to drive the car over to go to the company. During this time, Adrian had already adjusted his emotions. After getting in the car, he asked Charlize to take out the relevant analysis data and start thinking. stand up.

Undoubtedly, the executives of the major film companies are aware, especially those who are well-informed, that this year's Oscars for Best Film and Best Director and other awards are sure--well, I can't talk too much, it's about the same There is a 90% chance that it belongs to "Schindler's List" and Spielberg.

Just look at the enthusiasm for this movie from Jewish communities and organizations across the United States. The box office is the most intuitive impression. It has been released for almost 60 days, and the number of theaters has just passed 1,000. The total box office in North America has reached 55 million. The movie can also get such a high box office, one can imagine how much they support this movie. And this is not over, there are at least 4 months of screening time, and it is not impossible to reach hundreds of millions by then.

Well, it doesn't matter, although I am a little envious of Bosworth Films, but I am lucky to invest in Spielberg's film. I may not be able to win these awards, so I will go for other awards. Yes, but other awards must also face the strong competition of Bosworth Films, such as "The Piano Lesson", which is called a rare masterpiece by a female director and won the Venice Golden Lion Award and 7 Oscar nominations. It's also their investment and distribution, plus the 4 nominations of "Philadelphia Story", this is... too much
