I’m in Hollywood

As soon as the two walked into the screening room, Drew shook off Nicole and ran to the front row of the crew. Nicole only saw Drew mutter a few words to Tom Hanks, who was sitting next to Eric, and Hanks smiled and got up and gave her the seat.

Although she is very envious, Nicole is very clear that she is not even qualified to sit in the front row, let alone let anyone in the front row give her a seat. Although she is a little unwilling, the girl still looks for it in the middle of the theater. A seat was taken.

There were more and more people in the screening room. Before I knew it, a gentle man in his thirties with glasses sat down beside the girl. The man seemed to glance at the girl unintentionally, showing a just right look of surprise. , As if he had just discovered the beautiful girl around him, he took the initiative to say hello: Hi, hello.

Although the man's tone is very casual, the girl who often encounters a similar situation realizes the other party's intention to strike up a conversation when the man sits next to her. Although she feels a little disgusted, Nicole is not easy to ignore the polite greeting of the other party. Plainly said: Hello.

The man doesn't care about Nicole's indifference. As a flower veteran, if he backs down because of the indifference of the girl at the beginning, he will never try to attract a woman: Forgive my abruptness, miss, but you are so beautiful. Especially your hairstyle, which matches your facial contour, makes you look like a classical beauty. You know, many girls are accustomed to perming their hair into fluffy little waves, but in my case It looks like that kind of haircut is like a bird's nest, it's just terrible, there are very few girls with taste like you.

When Nicole heard the man's compliment, there was no joy of being praised in her expression, but an embarrassed look flashed on her face, and she replied helplessly, Thank you for your compliment, sir.

You're welcome, the man said with a smile. My name is George Northam, and I'm a film critic for Premiere.

You can call me Nicole.

Nicole, is that N-I-C-O-L-E? Wow, I suddenly realized that the name was just for you, 'Nicole' is Greek for appearance Beautiful and delicate, yet strong and independent young woman.

George Northam was about to say something when the lights in the projection room dimmed. For some reason, remembering Eric's indifference to her during this time, the girl was somewhat disgusted by the attentive approacher and reminded softly. : The movie is on, Mr. Northam.

Of course, I understand. George Northam realized that he was too eager, and hurriedly sat upright and turned his eyes to the screen.

After the title of the Statue of Liberty in Colombia, the little girl in the red hoodie released the fireflies, drew a string of beautiful characters and rushed to the sky, turning into the brightest star in the sky. After that, the picture fell into a short period of time. In the darkness, the sound of footsteps rang out, as if tapping on the hearts of the audience, but the picture of the movie still did not appear immediately, and the list of the main creators began to appear on the screen.

In the curious anticipation of everyone, the picture finally lit up. In the dim corridor, Tom Cruise with sunglasses climbed the stairs expressionlessly, and at the same time, sang with a mysterious and sad male voice. rang.

Nicole was staring at the screen intently, but two girls whispered behind her, who should be Cruise fans.

Oh, God, I suddenly found out that my little Tommy walks so handsomely, Mickey, I can't take it anymore.

Me too,

Me too, Erica, we'll have to go up and ask Tommy for some autographs later.

In fact, Nicole felt the same way in her heart, although she didn't know why.

Fortunately, there was a professional film critic next to him. George Northam also heard the emotion of the two Cruise female fans behind him. He approached the girls and explained softly: This is the result of the atmosphere, the echoes of footsteps, mysterious chants, and cold shots. And the silent protagonist makes for a very infectious picture, so it's not surprising that they feel that way. Eric Williams is a genius, just a few simple shots, highlighting the relationship with The style of his first two films is completely different. If you adjust the lighting to normal, remove the soundtrack and echo, even if you replace it with other soundtracks, then these shots will not achieve the same effect, this kind of thing seems simple, But being able to perfectly blend several elements together to form an irresistible appeal requires high artistic attainments.”

Talking about other men in front of women is obviously not a wise thing to do when picking up girls, but George Northam treats Nicole as an ordinary movie fan, and he doesn't think the girl sitting here will have the chance to get in touch with Eric , and she didn't think that she would know Eric, so she did not hesitate to praise Eric, and at the same time, she showed off her professionalism in film appreciation without a trace.

After arriving on the rooftop, as the camera followed, the style of the soundtrack gradually became heavier. After the male protagonist stepped onto the edge of the rooftop, the screen began to switch between memory and reality. The conversation between the doctors, explaining to the audience that Andy had only four weeks left to live.

Wow, Tommy isn't going to jump off the building, right? The worried voice of the girl behind her sounded again, which was actually the common voice of many fans in the theater.

Another girl immediately hugged her companion and comforted her: No, no, Erica, you see Tommy is carrying a backpack. He must have other things. If a person wants to jump off a building, what is he doing with a backpack on his back.

Mickey, do you think Tommy will die?

Definitely not, I've heard a lot of reports of terminal cancer patients surviving, and, this is a movie, anything miraculous happens in a movie, Tommy never died in the previous movies, he never will dead.

I hope so. Erica folded her arms in front of her chest and made a prayerful look, while looking forward to the next action of Cruise standing on Tiantai Mountain.

But the movie didn't immediately reveal the answer to the audience. After the title of Dark War was typed, the screen shifted to a restaurant. Sean, played by Hanks, was enjoying breakfast while reading the newspaper. The camera quickly swung towards the restaurant. At the bar, Andy, who also looked calm, was eating breakfast, and at the same time looked up at the sitcom on TV, with a touch of reluctance and nostalgia in his eyes.

The two protagonists appeared at the same time, and the audience thought that the two would have a confrontation in this restaurant. After all, the name of the movie was Dark War, but the picture was quickly cut into other scenes again.

I dare say that this scene of Cruise will be repeated again and again, this is a time hint set by the director, Nicole, have you noticed the look of Cruise, he only has four weeks to live, so, Whether it's eating, drinking, or watching TV, his expression is full of focus and nostalgia, as if he wants to use the remaining four weeks to engrave all the beauty in this world into his soul, I dare say Crewe He will definitely die in the ending. George Northam next to him couldn't help showing off again.

Nicole just nodded slightly to indicate that she heard the other party's words, her eyes were still fixed on the screen, and the girl began to slowly enter the plot.

Inside the blockade, Sean got out of the car, hurriedly entered a police car, and said to the police chief Ian Spay, played by Joe Pesci, who was wearing an inspector general-level uniform and a bulletproof vest: Follow me. Have you been in contact with the robbers?

Ian's eyes flickered: It took twenty minutes.

Sean immediately raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Ian in surprise: You went to talk? You must say that you are Ian Spay, the chief of the Los Angeles Central District Police Department. Disarm and surrender within three minutes, right?

Ian shook his head embarrassedly, and then realized that Sean was now his subordinate, not the famous police elite, so he cocked his neck and turned his eyes to the side, like what can you do with me. looks like.

This section of Joe Pesci's performance is very happy in terms of language and gestures, and the audience has begun to smile.

Although Sean was a little helpless, he still let people play the negotiation recording.

One hand pressed the play button, and Joe Pesci's special voice came out immediately.

Hey, I'm Ian Spay, the chief of the Los Angeles Central District Police Department. You've been surrounded by me. Disarm and surrender within three minutes.

Sean shook his head and showed an expression like this, and Ian turned his eyes out of the car window again with a guilty conscience.

In the recording, the robbers put forward a series of conditions. Ian heard that the other party wanted a bulletproof car and couldn't help but retorted: Why don't you want a helicopter?

Hearing this, Sean shook his head and stomped his feet fiercely, with a kind of helplessness in his tone: Hey, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense!

The atmosphere that Hanks and Joe Pesci had previously created for the audience also broke out at this moment. Along with Sean's frantic actions, after hearing this line, the audience burst into laughter for the first time in the theater. .

Sure enough, the robbers changed the conditions smoothly and changed the bulletproof car into a helicopter. Sean could only sigh and asked for a walkie-talkie to enter the bank alone. After a series of verbal and psychological exchanges, Sean went well. Solved the hostage crisis and forced the traitor to commit suicide. Although Eric did not make any changes to the plot in this paragraph, he consulted real negotiating experts in terms of lines, so it seemed more reasonable and sharp. Even professionals could no longer make mistakes from the verbal confrontation in this paragraph. Come on, of course, the plot time has also been extended by a few minutes, but this is not a problem. The original movie was only 90 minutes long, and in Hollywood, most of these big productions are about two hours long, plus The lines are very cleverly designed, and the audience will not feel the procrastination of the plot at all, but can interpret the excellence of the male protagonist Sean in a more detailed way.

Leaving the bank, Sean walked to a snack bar, bought a coke and a burger and ate it. In the crowd, an old man with thin hair with a weird smile held up a camera and captured Sean's series of actions. filmed.

The old man's expression was a little stiff, but coupled with the iconic mysterious male voice singing the soundtrack that appeared almost at the same time, although most fans were still a little confused, the professional film critics present guessed that the old man was probably Andy pretending to be.

Sure enough, the picture cuts into a room full of high-tech criminal props such as computers and disguise equipment, and Andy posted the photo of Sean at the bank robbery scene on the wall. At the same time, there are other old photos such as Sean in SWAT (Special Weapons and Combat Team) posted on the wall. Through the lens sweeping across the wall covered with photos and newspaper clippings, the audience finally understands Sean's identity.
