I’m in Hollywood

Ups and downs of the plot, shocking soundtrack, sharp and changeable editing, and excellent performances by several actors, Eric Williams, following the playfulness of Home Alone and the warmth of Pretty Girl, We brought a black symphony in a very different style.

From the mysterious chant at the beginning to the tragic symphony at the end, the gorgeous soundtrack of Dark War runs through the entire film, but it doesn't make people feel noisy at all, the tight plot is full of tension, there is no redundant footage, two hours The visual feast of the show creates a kind of inner peace.”

Sex and blood have always been the two elements in movies that can stimulate the audience's adrenaline the most, but many movies are always sex for sex and blood for the sake of grandstanding, but the use of blood in Dark War is not deliberate at all. In the process of watching the movie, every time there is a scene of Tom Cruise coughing up blood, I can hear the heartbroken exclamation of the female fans around me, but this exclamation is mixed with a climax-like excitement. A handsome, gentle and mysterious man who is also righteous and evil has already attracted most women at first sight. Eric Williams is still not satisfied, and he has added irritating blood vomiting attributes to the protagonist. I am sure, Crewe The role of Andy created by Stephen will surely arouse the imitation of many filmmakers in the future.

The wonderful performances of the two protagonists did not hide the brilliance of the supporting roles. Joe Pesci raised his eyebrows, pouted, shook his head, and was full of joy. After several years of silence, Brooke Shields reappeared, which is even more impressive. Yiliang, perhaps because of the girl's years of experience in Princeton University, Brooke Shields' acting skills are no longer superficial, but more profound and restrained. Although it is only a few minutes' appearance, it gives people It has left a deep impact. I believe that this time, even if Brooke Shields can't get a positive performance award, the judges of the golden sour plum will definitely not consider girls as objects. I am looking forward to Brooke Shields in the future. performance in other films.

The next morning, with the slight clatter of paper flipping, Eric sat on a chair in the dining room and focused on reading the various movie reviews that were freshly published in today's newspaper. And Nicole was busy coming and going, bringing the prepared breakfast to the table from time to time.

Soon, the sleepy Drew floated into the dining room wearing slippers, pulled out the chair and sat down at the dining table, raised his chin with one hand, and squinted at Eric flipping through the newspaper.

Why don't you sleep more? Eric asked without looking up.

I'm hungry, Drew said, pulling the small basket placed in the center of the dining table to grab the bagel, but was hit by the newspaper rolled up by Eric: Have you brushed your teeth?

Wash after eating? The girl blinked her eyes and pretended to be pitiful.

Eat after brushing, Eric glared at the girl, without condoning, waving the newspaper in his hand, ready to hit it down again at any time.

Okay okay, really, like an old-fashioned old man, Drew stood up limply and floated out again. He was a little crazy at the party last night, and he didn't eat much, so the girl It looks sluggish at this point.

Nicole stood in front of the kitchen and listened to the conversation between the two of them. She felt a little envious in her heart. Although the two did not have any intimate words or actions, this kind of indifferent conversation made people feel the warmth that belonged only to relatives. . In contrast, although Eric has always been polite to her, he has never regarded her as his own. It's not that the girl has not made efforts in this regard, but it has little effect.

Bringing the cooked oatmeal into the restaurant, the girl began to share breakfast for several people, but a bowl of oatmeal was gently placed in front of Eric, and she looked up inadvertently, only to see Eric frowning slightly at a newspaper .

What's wrong? The girl sat down and asked softly. ,

Eric shook his head gently: It's nothing, just a movie review.

Nicole glanced at the name of the newspaper in Eric's hand, and said softly, Did someone criticize Dark War?

Well, Eric nodded and said, I feel inexplicable. This person seems to be targeting me. I don't remember provoking this person. Eric said, looking down, hoping to Find some author's information. Some newspapers often attach the film critic's information to the back of the article if they invite a relatively well-known film critic to make readers feel that this person is very authoritative.

It turned out to be a full-time film critic of Premier magazine, or a graduate of Columbia University's journalism department, Eric whispered, and Nicole next to him heard the name of Premier and his heart jumped: Eric K, can I take a look?

Eric handed over the newspaper, and the girl glanced at the name of the author, and suddenly felt a little guilty, and it said George Northam impressively.

...The storyline that can't stand up to scrutiny, the convoluted and noisy soundtrack and the meaningless scenes that are repeated many times, I randomly pieced together a two-hour movie. I feel that this kind of movie is a waste of moviegoers. time and money...

The girl just glanced at one of the paragraphs, and hurriedly returned the newspaper, her eyes flickering slightly, she understood that this article must have been created because of herself, because George Northam was originally praising Eric, maybe This kind of thing happened because of the accidental coincidence last night that made the other party feel embarrassed.

If the other party clearly refused when they approached, maybe this kind of thing would not happen.

Thinking like this, Nicole felt even more guilty, and asked cautiously, Eric, this movie review won't affect the box office, will it?

No, Eric said, Most film critics maintain a positive attitude towards the film, and it's okay to occasionally jump out one or two critical articles, as long as there is no problem with the word of mouth in the general direction.

Oh, Nicole breathed lightly.

Eric carefully looked at the girl's expression: Nicole, do you seem to have something on your mind?

No, no, Nicole hurriedly shook her head in denial.

Eric didn't ask any further, he hurriedly flipped through the remaining newspapers and started to eat breakfast.

But George Northam didn't seem to want to give up on publishing a critical film review. The next day and the third day, the other's review articles appeared again in several newspapers, and the words were more intense than the other.

In the end, the other party even began to question whether the movie was shot by Eric.

George Northam first listed some plausible commonalities of Eric's previous films. After all, Back to Seventeen, Home Alone and Pretty Woman are all heartwarming, and then the conversation changed. , made a detailed comparison of several films such as Home Alone and the dark and grim style of Dark War, and finally gave readers a feeling that Dark War has nothing to do with the previous movies at all.

Next, George Northam began to comment on the similarities that exist in many of the films of the film masters, instilling in the audience the idea from start to finish that if several films were made by one person, even those with varied styles There are many similarities in the works of the film masters.

But Dark War did not, so George Northam boldly suggested that the film was not actually shot by Eric himself, but the shooter found by Columbia. It's all a money-maker in the name of the genius director of Eric Williams, and fans are being fooled.

Eric, who saw this article, shook his head helplessly, and deeply realized that the hooligan is not terrible, but he is afraid of the wise saying that the hooligan has culture. Because the analysis in this article is too detailed, and the high level of professionalism makes Eric unmatched, he is indeed a top student from an Ivy League school, and even Eric himself has to admit that the other party's analysis is very reasonable.

Because the influence of the newspapers that published George Northam's articles was not bad, the gunman view of Dark War actually had a considerable impact on the public.

The box office battle in the summer season is very fierce. Once there is an opportunity to attack competitors, other film companies will definitely be willing to add to the flames. Therefore, in just a few days, the voices of doubts among the media have gradually increased, and Colombia has no choice but to deal with this matter. Take it seriously and contact Eric urgently to discuss countermeasures.

Maybe we can sue the film critic named George Northam for defamation, said one executive in the conference room.

The management of the legal department shook his head and retorted: We have considered this method, it is very difficult to work, and the federal court will not even accept our petition. George Northam is too shrewd, his article is more like It's a professional paper, and it never clearly stated that Dark War was not filmed by Eric. He has been implying, and this suggestion is very convincing. To be honest, if I hadn't just seen the movie once I couldn't help but believe this view.

Right now, the most important thing is to clarify that we cannot allow this view to continue.

It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do. You say, how can we clarify Eric? Should we let the TV station broadcast Eric's filming? We also found some news from the original shooting process. Photos, but unfortunately, there are many photos of Cruise, Hanks and even Brooke Shields, but Eric's photos are poor, and they are not very convincing at all.

Just when everyone was a little frowning, Eric, who was late because he was delayed by some things, pushed the door and walked into the conference room, holding a cardboard box in his arms.

Sorry, everyone, it took a while to prepare these things. Eric said apologetically to everyone and found a seat to sit down.

Everyone involuntarily turned their attention to the small box that Eric placed on the conference table.

Eric noticed the suspicious eyes of everyone and took the initiative to explain: Oh, these are some video tapes. That little girl Drew ran to the studio several times to visit the class and played with the camera to shoot.
