[US Entertainment] Kise's Hollywood Diary

"Look at the headline—"Jack Cadence: Except 'Hanks,' Not So Much!" Oh, he dared say it."

"With a freshness of no more than 40% on Rotten Tomatoes, the box office of a movie released for a month may not be as good as the first day of other people's movies?"

"What are you talking about?"

Vincent finished a day of training and found that his good roommate and Mr. Manager were standing together in harmony - reading an entertainment board newspaper.

Phillips didn't care about this at first, at least during the one semester Vincent spent with him, he rarely cared about gossip in the entertainment industry, but now he was able to "communicate fluently" with Mr. Frank Dawson.To be precise, the two of them are now on the united front on this youth film that was released only one month after "Sweet 16".

"Hey, I heard that you almost acted in "Orange County Boys"?" Frank asked casually, still flipping through the entertainment newspaper in his hand, without looking up.

"There is no 'almost', but I have to say something for its director. At least Mr. Cadence recommended me to Rocky." Vincent wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the end of his golden hair Some sweat.

Philips handed him the water, "So? Your movie will be released in less than a month, why are you so calm? Look, he is still the son of a movie king, and the cost will go down to 800 million, and follow the current trend , maybe you can get back a tenth or two of the cost?"

Frank gave the red-brown haired boy a look of approval, which made Philips' eyes brighten up, "However, I believe you, at least twice the cost!"

"Thank you!" Vincent sat on the chair, leaning lazily on the back of the chair, his two long legs crossed naturally, but he didn't rest long before he was called over by the props team.

Frank and Philips were left in the rest area. Frank looked at the schedule indifferently. He was preparing to contact Old Pete again. Vincent recently gained muscle due to frequent equestrian exercises, but his overall weight was reduced due to studies and training. Simultaneously there has been a decline.Frank needs to keep his little entertainer in top shape for his first premiere.

"You don't need to go back to class?" Frank didn't think that a student who was busy starting a business while also taking care of a double degree had so much time to hang out at a horse farm in the outer suburbs.At least when he was in college in the UK, except for long holidays, weekends were packed with study plans.Not everyone is born with a learning skill like he brought Vincent.

Phillips shook his head, "I deliberately spared time to see Vincent, why, Mr. Dawson doesn't welcome me?"

It was only then that Frank remembered that from the beginning to the end, Vincent's roommate had never called him by his name in a serious manner, but now the phrase "Mr. Dawson" instantly distanced their relationship.

"Then, please convey my greetings to Vincent." Philipz stood up and looked down at the man. He realized that now was not the right time.

When Vincent came back, Frank still had the same expression, and he brought up the topic of "different aura" again.

"Although I know I don't want to hear it, I don't want any big news to break out when my artist's stardom is not even clear."

Hearing the unspoken words, Vincent instantly understood, "I think it's time for you to get a girlfriend, Frank. How about I get a girlfriend, okay?"

"No way." The manager took off the protective gear from the boy, put it on a chair beside him, glanced at the slightly sweaty but more youthful face of the boy, and said firmly, "I won't choose to be in the boy's house." You can't have a girlfriend now, and you can't. Boy, you've already run out of skills, and I don't think you have extra energy to spend on women when you run to class every day."

"Well, just pretend I didn't say anything."

When the premiere, school year papers, and final design were all squeezed together, Vincent lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.Adolescent boys and girls are more or less baby fat, but Vincent is thin and enviable: his face is small, without the narrow and long face that Europeans and Americans are accustomed to, and one slap can cover the whole face.With age, the facial features are not only not disabled, but become more charming.

When he stepped on the edge of the red carpet wearing the clothes that were changed three times by old Pete, the flashing lights on the scene found the same direction in an instant——

"Blond hair and blue eyes - when did Ken Loach have that taste?"

"Maybe he should be talking to himself. His films have always used unattractive actors as the protagonists."

"For his handsome face that can conquer England with hormones, I am willing to spend all the film on him."

The reporters and photographers on both sides chatted in low voices, watching a man who looked too young walked the red carpet at a leisurely pace, and he stood beside Director Rocky.The always strict and solemn director stretched out his arms to hug the young man, and patted him on the back lightly.

"You are in good condition." Rocky pressed his palm on Vincent's shoulder, "The reason why you were not allowed to come to the previous European Film Awards is because this platform is more suitable for your first time."

That's right, Rocky, which was edited last year, was exhibited in the exhibition.The European Film Awards is a film festival that has been established for less than 15 years. Although it is not as famous as the Cannes Film Festival, Berlin Film Festival and Venice Film Festival, it is known as the European Oscar.Compared with the other three film festivals, the selection of European Film Awards has more professional depth and artistic authority.

And "Sweet 16" has not yet been released, and it has won three nominations for Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Actor at the European Film Awards.Just like the low-key of the European Film Awards itself, Rocky also kept a low-key before the official release of the film. This is not the first time he has been nominated for an award, and his mentality has long been as calm as water.

Vincent, who appeared in a movie for the first time, was nominated for the first actor in his life at the age of 17. It is not that there are younger best actor nominations in the history of movies, but in Rocky's view, Vincent It was he who "tuned" it out, and the potential stocks who want to tap their potential step by step should not be swayed by the fame of their youth, or even embark on a path of depression and decline.

Although the nominations for the last three awards all failed, Rocky breathed a sigh of relief while regretting.

In less than half a month, the Cannes Film Festival will follow, and the director will start to worry again.

When the premiere officially started, the noisy sound of the scene disappeared in the starry sky where the film first appeared - it was a little dark but in the sky that was shining bit by bit, a boy's voice came, "Who else wants to see it?" ?"

A group of younger children scrambled to answer: "I—"

The camera shakes twice, and the light shines on the side face of the boy. He raises a hand high and points to his companion, "25p a time, give it to pinball!"

The two boys had an orderly division of labor, arranged the order in which the children looked at the stars in twos and twos, and smiled at each other.

"See the big one? That's Jupiter."

The dim picture jumped quickly. In the smoky tavern, two boys were carrying cloth bags and selling their "products."

"Hey lady, would you like a pack of cigarettes? Will it prevent heart disease?"

"Man, this will give you an erection for over 60 minutes."

Someone dismisses this and continues the conversation without looking sideways, someone pulls out crumpled bills to buy a pack of cheap cigarettes, or the so-called "good medicine".

In the bottom society, different people have different lifestyles. These two half-grown boys used seemingly insignificant methods to make money quickly.The tavern owner had to drive the two bastards out, and the boys left the tavern with their middle fingers up and cursing at the owner.

Immediately afterwards, these two little villains not only reversed the truck and successfully overwhelmed the police motorcycle on duty, but also took the police helmet away in a random ride, and staged a chase scene on the street.

If life goes on like this, how can we say "sweet"?

Soon, the movie ushered in its first "climax".Rhyme's mother tries to serve time in jail for her "deal" boyfriend, and Rhyme, bent on bonding a broken family together, can't convince a woman who's lost herself in love.And he and his friend pinball's way of making money also suffered the biggest blow-they finally hit the iron plate.

Compared to Pinball's panic, Rhyme was gasping for breath, but still calm - as if he had expected that they would have such a day, when other children are still around their parents to act like a spoiled child, but they have to think about it. Start to die.

Most of the audience present are professional film critics or professional media people. Even after watching so many film premieres, they will still be impressed by Rocky's film: his lens seems to have been integrated into it, making people have to follow the film. role.

Like now, when Rhyme looked at his mother imploringly with those sea-filled blue eyes, maybe everyone was thinking: Who could resist such a look?

A teenager with no acting experience handed over such an amazing answer sheet to all moviegoers. Should he praise Rocky for his training, or should he praise the blond-haired and blue-eyed leading actor for his talent?

The plot continued to develop, and finally the two boys who were "in the quagmire" touched something that was far away from them, and exchanged it for money.And Ryan's plan to avenge his mother's boyfriend Stan is also being implemented step by step, and he can no longer turn back.

"Would you like some?" Pinball, who was carefully rolling the "goods" into the paper, asked.

Rhyme pursed his lips, and glanced at the lighter in his hand vainly. He fiddled with the pulley, and the lighter emitted a faint flame.

"No," the camera is close to his face, the boy has a cut cut close to the scalp, and the golden hair seems to cover his head like fine gold.

"It can't be wasted. If we sell this batch, we will be able to buy that house soon."

Rhyme lowered his eyelashes, took a deep breath and repeated, "Soon..."

The mood of the audience under the screen is far less than the protagonist’s expectation—drug dealing, let alone a 15-year-old child, once they get started, how can they get rid of it easily?

What has to be admired is that with the deepening of the plot, Rocky's deep meaning is embedded in Rhyme's will: happy people may always have similarities, but unfortunate people have their own unlucky roots .

Rhyme's misfortune stems from his incomplete family, from his morbid obsession with his mother and dependence on maternal love.

Whether it's Rhyme who's been tossing around among the grown-ups trying to sell cheap cigarettes, or being forced into "the middle" as the drug dealer who can't easily show up in the daytime, or when his mother repeatedly runs away from their complete "home" When he was young, he was a boy who longed to be loved and wanted to get his mother back.

Rhyme and Pinball have never forgotten their dreams: they dreamed of buying a house by the sea, where the two families could live together, enjoy the sea breeze every day, and go fishing...

But things are far from as smooth as expected.

Audiences and film critics had hope again and again, and they closely followed in Rhyme's footsteps, but just like Rhyme, they reaped despair again and again—the small house he and Pinball pictured, and even paid the down payment, was sold. Her mother's boyfriend Stan was burned down, and Rhyme, who was struggling in despair, decided to "do things" for the boss to redeem his mother and dreams.

Seeing Lime stepping deeper into the "darkness", but without hesitation, calm and depressed, who still remembers that this is just a boy under the age of sixteen?

Hollywood Diary (13)

I sat in my seat and a movie was playing on the screen.

The director sitting next to me stared intently at the screen, his gaze was inclusive and deep.

I think he should be satisfied, Frank put my mind at ease - because this movie is not released in the United States.

So where is the connection between this and putting me at ease?
