[US Entertainment] Kise's Hollywood Diary

"To Cover Up" is a biopic that is said to cost less than $700 million. Lionsgate was able to hire Martin Scorsese and Billy Ray to join forces as director and screenwriter respectively, which has raised the bar for the film to a certain extent. Its own value-as for who the leading actor is, to some extent it is not important anymore.

The popularity of "The Pentium Era" has not completely subsided, and not long ago, Leonardo and Vincent's trip to Miami Beach once again made the two of them on the hot search list, while Martin Scasses' "Old Partner", on one side is the great director's "new favorite", no matter how you say it, there is a bit of war.

And when there were already rumors that Martin Scorsese and Leonardo were about to start shooting a new cooperative film, Vincent turned out.It must be said that this development is really dramatic.

You must know that Mr. Martin Scorsese, a director recognized as a master in Hollywood, has always reflected the darkness from the subtleties in his style.Before Leonardo, the actor who partnered with Martin Scorsese the most was Robert De Niro.It's like the familiar team doesn't want to change again. The long-term and nostalgic Martin Scorsese also has the same feelings in choosing the leading role in the movie.

Robert De Niro starred in Martin's nine film works!You must know that Tom Cruise and Nicolas Cage only appeared once or twice.Not to mention Leonardo, who only got into the eyes of this great director two years ago, and only had a "Gangs of New York" the year before last, which is a big collaboration of all kinds of big names.

If Martin has a great nostalgia complex, he also has a lot of "superstar complex".

And the appearance of "To Cover Up" broke Martin Scorsese's consistent style - superstar?No!Big production?Cost $700 million!Full release?Only about 3000 theaters will show it at the same time.

There is a period of tepid autumn and winter between the summer file and the Christmas file, and in this season that is said to be cold but not too cold, "To Cover Up" is about to be released.

To be honest, even Lionsgate didn’t have much hope for the movie’s box office—after all, it’s not a glorious real event, but a movie changed by a huge scandal. I can only hope that the judges of the major awards can make some comments on the film objectively and fairly.

When the premiere came, Vincent had already kept his figure in a very delicate state-it seemed a little weak, but under the shirt that wrapped his body perfectly, there were muscles full of strength.

Add a pair of thin-rimmed glasses with gold rims, cover the blue eyes under the transparent lenses, and add a double-headed Albert watch chain of the same color as the frame to complete the accessories of the whole body.

The buckle in the middle of the double-headed chain watch is on the third-to-last button of the vest, and a round nameplate slightly larger than the button falls down. The nameplate shows the head of a Pegasus horse.Connected into the vest pocket on the left side is a delicate and exquisite pocket watch, on the case is a lily surrounded by olive leaves, which is a painting corresponding to Pegasus, while the other end connected into the vest pocket on the right side is a stirrup Shaped U-shaped lock buckle.

This double-headed tortoiseshell-rimmed Pegasus lily pocket watch is an antique pocket watch from the Victorian period that Garavani auctioned off at an auction. In addition to this double-headed pocket watch, there are some other styles, but it is used today. It is undoubtedly the most suitable one with a three-piece vest.

With the decoration of glasses and a pocket watch, Vincent's overall temperament became restrained and elegant, and because of his deliberately restrained and warm eyes, he appeared a little shy.This is completely different from the usual unruly and slightly ostentatious Vincent, and his whole temperament has changed.

And Garavani also put his mind to the red carpet dress for this premiere. Compared with the deep sea blue cold dress at the premiere of "The Pentium Era" last time, this time the dress mainly highlights Vincent A scholarly and gentlemanly style that is elegant and full of book fragrance.

Just like the choice of glasses and pocket watch is an absolute bonus, today's well-cut and ingenious dress is also for Vincent's aura——

A mellow and stable black-gray suit jacket and trousers, and the vest inside is a slightly younger satin warm gray. Garavani chose to make the suit jacket and trousers the same color, highlighting the vest and pocket watch in the jacket alone. The bright spot, and the bow tie of the same color as the vest plays a very good role of "cooperating from the inside to the outside".In this way, the "frivolous" style design with a little Victorian style is suppressed by the simple three colors.

When Vincent appeared in the waiting area, Martin Scorsese gave him his thumbs up: "very nice dress."

Tom Cruise is wearing a low-key black formal suit. His beard is slightly longer, and after trimming, he has a refined and quiet aura.

Although he only played the role of "Michael" in a cameo, although there are not many scenes, each scene largely contains further changes in Stephen.

Coupled with Tom Cruise as the producer, it is logical that he attended the premiere of "To Cover Up".

Peter Sarsgaard will also appear soon, and after all the main creators and production staff are due, the premiere will be ready to begin.The normal procedure is to start from the red carpet of the premiere ceremony. The host stands at the end of the red carpet to preside over the ceremony. When the staff came over to finalize the procedure, an unexpected guest appeared——

Almost all the people in the waiting area turned their heads to look at the person who was coming. They were dressed in iron gray formal suits, black slender ties, and their coats were unbuttoned. They were six feet one tall and strode towards this side.

The visitor has long legs, strong and slender, wide shoulders and narrow hips, and his body proportions can be called excellent.In addition, it was a bit windy today, and he pulled up a corner of his coat, revealing his chest and abdomen muscles tightly wrapped in his shirt.

The blond hair was parted in threes and sevens, combed to the back of the head and fixed perfectly, revealing a pair of blue eyes with a little gray in them, and thin lips slightly curved in an arc.

"Come uninvited, please don't take offense!"

Leonardo smiled brightly, and he greeted everyone familiarly when he stepped forward, but anyone with a pair of eyes can know who this big guy is targeting today.

Sure enough, in the end, Leonardo set his sights on Vincent, who was wearing thin golden-rimmed glasses. His gaze was from his slender temples, and his forehead hair was all combed to the golden hair behind his head, along the delicate neckline. From the perfect bow tie to the upper body where the coat is opened to reveal a warm gray vest and a double-headed pegasus lily chain pocket watch, and finally to a pair of straight and slender legs connected to the thin waist.

This glance lasted only a second or two, but Leonardo scanned Vincent from top to bottom without missing a single point.

Let’s not talk about whether it’s the fashion designer’s matching ability or Vincent’s own dressing idea. Compared with Vincent’s two red carpet looks, although the styles are different, they are all derived from Vincent’s own aura. Different style types.

It's so attractive that people can't take their eyes off-both men and women.

Martin Scorsese saw all this in his eyes, and the reaction of the two people was clear in his heart, and he intervened between them in an unpredictable way.

"It is indeed a surprise that you can come today."

The master director doesn't seem to be too surprised by Leonardo's arrival. After the promotion of "To Cover Up", he and Leonardo will devote nearly one and a half years of preparation to the new film together. In the works, whether Leonardo really happened to come to see it, or wanted to take the opportunity to contact someone, Martin didn't think that the other party did anything wrong.

Just because Leonardo sat in the auditorium under the stage the whole time, he didn't seem to overwhelm the host at all.Even the producer's official speech, he listened very carefully, looking exactly like an ordinary audience.

There was nothing to say on the premiere red carpet. Although Vincent's red carpet dominance was only activated for the second time, the effect was even better than before.With the online appearance of the premiere of "The Pentium Era", which killed all major magazines and newspapers last time, reporters and photographers, whether it is a movie magazine or a fashion magazine, are all keeping an eye on Vincent.

The red carpet was less than 20 meters long, and the stop and go took less than a minute, and the flashing lights never stopped.

Walking beside Vincent, Peter Sarsgaard said with a slight movement of his lips, "I think it was a complete mistake for me to stand next to you, Vincent."

Vincent said without changing his expression: "You are a warrior, Peter."

When Peter Sarsgaard was still thinking about the meaning of this sentence, he suddenly found that he was the only one walking beside Vincent!

Don't bring such a trick!

After a series of opening scenes, the premiere officially began. After Vincent took his seat, the people around him suddenly patted his palm on the armrest of the seat, and looked sideways——Leonardo.

The two looked at each other silently, and after the Lionsgate logo on the big screen passed, it was the joint logo of several production companies.After introducing the basic background of the "New Republic" magazine in white text on the black screen, and naming the protagonist Stephen Glass, a clear male voice sounded along with the melody of a single button of a music box——

"Reporters are always different. Some talk big, some talk strangely. They are always busy. They always try to act like they are busier than they really are. Too many bragging fools, fortunately. They're always doing sales, they're always doing PR, that kind of reporter makes it easier for you to stand out—"

When these words sounded in the ears of all the audience, the picture that accompanied the sound was a young man with golden thin framed eyes. The forehead is drooping and scattered on the side of the forehead.The young man wore a light blue shirt with a dark v-neck sweater vest, and a dark gray suit jacket perfectly set off the young man's shoulders.

The young Stephen had an expectant and yearning smile on his face, and he looked innocent and simple. He was surrounded by office workers in a hurry, and he was the only one who seemed to be visiting in a dream, as if he was walking on a dreamlike path. The surrounding office space seems to have become his dream paradise.

"If you still appear a little respectful, a little humble, or a little enthusiastic, then you can get ahead."

Different from his innocent and dreamy expression, the words from the young man's confession clearly show that he is more like a person who handles things smoothly and can well adapt to his position in his profession.

“So you’re packing a lunch for a colleague while they’re slogging away to meet a deadline, and you’re remembering their birthdays. Yes, journalism is hard work, everyone’s under pressure, every day Everyone is working hard on the manuscript. No one can sleep, but you are smiling all the time."

"I mean, even Woodward and Bernstein go out and get a burger once in a while, and they've won Pulitzer Prizes."

As the young man told, if you don’t know the complete development of the Stephen Glass incident, you may think that this is a male version of "Legally Blonde", then you are very wrong——

Hollywood Diary (47)

It was the first time I saw the finished product cut out by Martin, and of course, it was beyond my expectation.

Martin has done a lot of work to enhance the storyline and ups and downs of this movie. If you look carefully, there are predictions and foreshadowings that he carefully planted everywhere.

He kind of memorized every single frame we shot and knew which frame to keep and which one to put where it should be.

Even those who have understood the original development of the incident will be amazed by Martin's technique when they watch the movie again!
