Acting King's Daily [Comprehensive British and American]

In the theater chosen for the premiere of "Fear of the First Order", professional film critics were shocked when Gu Qing played Allen as Roy, as well as the reaction of ordinary movie fans when they watched the movie, as well as the After the first movie, the topics they focused on were all about Gu Qing's amazing acting skills, and whether Alan/Roy really had a dual personality, and they chose to queue up to watch the next movie, etc. And other phenomena can be predicted the headlines of major magazines or newspapers the next day.

In fact, the headlines of the next day and even the following week were all contracted by news related to "First Degree Fear": On the second day after "First Degree Fear" was released, it is normal for professional film critics to release fresh film reviews, and Overall, praise outweighs criticism, and the praise for Gu Qing's acting skills is even more one-sided.

The first film critic to win the Pulitzer Prize, the highest award in journalism, Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave Gu Qing a final score of three and a half stars (out of four stars) in his film review.

He wrote: "This movie is worth going to the theater to watch a second time to try to figure out some issues that I haven't fully figured out, but I am absolutely sure that it is Eric Xavier, who won the apex last year. The award-winning young man contributed excellent acting skills. He played Allen so innocent and cowardly that most viewers chose to believe that he was innocent, even though he was covered in blood when he met the police. It was the escape of blood, which also made when his true face Roy was revealed in front of people, his bloodthirsty eyes and evil temperament brought a huge psychological impact to the viewers.

However, even if it is confirmed that Roy is the murderer, when he finally escaped legal sanctions, most of the audience still can't hate this character in their hearts, and they will still sympathize with him in their hearts, and do not recognize that he escaped legal sanctions through disguise and luck , but don't think he is an inherently evil, cruel murderer.

I think this is all thanks to Eric Xavier's ability to render this role. He is so comfortable in the two contrasting roles. He captured the hearts of the audience with his amazing performance. He is undoubtedly the biggest surprise this movie brings to the audience. "

In terms of film, Roger Ebert gave "First Fear" three stars.

In terms of other actors, Richard Gere and Laura Linney are both three stars.

In addition, the largest daily newspaper in the west of the United States, the influence in the United States is second only to the "New York Times" and "Washington Post". In the film critics, Gu Qing's performance in the film was also given a very high evaluation, and quite a lot of space.

The report stated: "This film is an unsettling film, with interlocking plots and an unexpected ending, but the length is still too long, and some places are a bit cold, but overall it is a wonderful film. story.

In addition to the success of the plot, it also lies in the superb performance of Eric Xavier, there is no doubt that he is the best performance in the whole film, and it is hard to imagine that he is just a newcomer, and he has not had any acting experience before. .There is no doubt that he is a very talented actor. If we say that when he plays Allen, we can still "comfort ourselves" by saying that he is acting in his true colors, but when Roy, who is completely different from Allen, appears, we will not There is no way to think this way anymore, we can only marvel at his miraculous acting skills, and give him heartfelt applause and praise.

Of course, aside from being talented, I couldn't help noticing how hard he went for it.As far as I know, Eric Xavier is from New York, but in the movie he is completely integrated into the character, and even the accent has become a Kentucky regional accent.What can I say about this?Just wanted to say that now I'm going to start becoming a fan of his. "

In addition, the "Los Angeles Times" also commented on the performances of Richard Gere and Laura Linney. For the former, the "Los Angeles Times" believed that his signature smile was the same as before, and he played his role quite well.And the evaluation of Laura Linney is better, thinking that "as the first appearance on the screen, it is remarkable".

The review ends with: "If you want something bloody but not indiscriminate, suspenseful, a bit scary but not scary, and something that surprises you, "Level [-] Fear" is the best choice so far this year .”

Of course, there are praises and dissenting views on the whole film of "First Class Fear", such as "New York Post", its style has always been pungent and straightforward, and this time it is the same for "First Class Fear".

""Level One Fear" tried to give the audience a completely unexpected but very reasonable turning point in the last 5 minutes of the movie, but I didn't expect that instead of achieving such an effect, it superimposed the snake, making this big turning point the biggest failure of the film. It directly affects the height of the whole film's conception. The satire of the upper class, the attack on the ugliness and hypocrisy of the establishment and religion, and the novel dual personality that have been laid out for so long suddenly lose their due strength.

After all, let me ask, if Allen is pretending to be all this, then he is a murderer through and through, and a murderer with superb acting skills and a first-class IQ. If this is the case, then why would he kill the bishop in such a stupid way? Still at the scene, caught on the spot? "

"On the other hand, Eric Xavier, a scientist who is not doing his job, has contributed a wonderful performance like his resume, which is still commendable."

In addition to the several representative newspapers listed above, there are naturally other newspapers or magazines that have published their views on "Level One Fear", not entirely from the film itself or the performance of the actors, for example Fashion magazines, they care more about what the stars wear on the red carpet than the movies themselves.

The authoritative men's fashion magazine "GQ" used Gu Qing's photo on the red carpet as the cover of this issue. On the cover, Mo poked his head out from behind Gu Qing's legs. Gu Qing's smile was very bright. On the inside page He also joked: "Let us solemnly introduce, Eric Xavier, the best-looking man with the best acting skills in the scientific world, the one with the most doctorates and the highest level of scientific research in the performing arts world."

By the way, they also teased "the richest and most famous in the scientific community", such a title is naturally going to Tony Stark, and Tony's clothes are naturally nothing to say, very Your own unique style, or no matter what you wear, you can wear Tony Stark's unique style.

This seems to be a bit arbitrary. Tony can sometimes be grounded, but such things are too rare, and the background of the accident is also puzzling, so it caused quite a stir .

This matter seems to be a long story, so let's make a long story short——

Mail on Sunday headline: "Tony Stark looking to break into showbiz?!"

The subtitle is, "Breaking the solid barriers between the worlds of science and show business, before Eric Xavier crossed over as an actor, and later Tony Stark waved a check as an investor?"

What a frightening headline!

I have to say that the "Mail on Sunday" has attracted widespread attention from readers.This made the sales volume of the original newspaper far inferior to that of the "Los Angeles Times" and "New York Times", the "Sunday Post", which is the number one, second and third newspaper in the United States. The latest issue of the newspaper seems to be sold out in an instant, and Still in the process of printing non-stop.

The "Sunday Mail" has also spent a lot of money. They basically have no irrelevant news in this issue of the newspaper.The irrelevant news mentioned here refers to news other than Tony Stark, Eric Xavier, and "First Degree Fear".

On the headlines, they put a photo taken by a reporter from the Mail on Sunday outside the theater where "First Degree Fear" was held.Here I have to praise the newspaper reporter's "piercing eyes", he even recognized the tightly wrapped Tony.

No, it should be said that, a man like Tony with his own spotlight will not be obliterated wherever he goes.

#It is gold that shines wherever it goes#

In fact... not really, the first thing Tony betrayed was his car keys.At that time, the reporter of the "Sunday Mail" murmured that some people didn't have a good impression of "First Fear" and wanted to do a second shot, and then they were attracted by the shiny things that flashed by in the camera. Then subconsciously zoomed in on the camera, and saw the car keys being thrown back and forth by Tony.

Huh?Ferrari?

Drive a Ferrari to the theater to watch a movie?I really don't understand the world of local tyrants - the reporter has not finished complaining, he is focusing on the face of local tyrants.Although Tony is wearing sunglasses, you must know that he is still a man who can use his face to swipe his card. There are very few reporters in the United States who don't know him.

Apparently the reporter of the "Sunday Mail" was not among them. His heartbeat suddenly rose by more than ten percentage points the moment he confirmed Tony's identity. After a photo focused on Tony's face, Tony seemed to be aware of it. The reporter turned away from the camera so calmly and continued to take pictures of the gradually long line.

After Tony's sports car drove away, the reporter of "Sunday Post" ran wildly. Of course, he didn't chase Tony's sports car, but went to report his car to the agency, and discussed the bonus with the editor-in-chief. Heck, yes The future of newspapers.Whether it can be an instant hit, that's all there is to it.

It is worth mentioning that this photo was taken very artistically.To describe it concretely, it is #中里搜向他千百度, suddenly looking back, that person is in a dimly lit place#.

Tony, never been so photogenic!

Then the question arises, why is Tony Stark, the chairman of Stark Industries, a genius, a philanthropist, a playboy, the first, second and third richest and handsomest in the United States (in no particular order) dressed so low-key, What's more, he changed his previous high-profile style and appeared in a very low-key manner outside the theater for the premiere of "First Fear"?It seems that I have seen "First Degree Fear" in theaters.

First of all, one possibility that can be ruled out is that Tony was invited by the studio.If that's the case, Paramount would have preached it 800 years earlier.

In addition, it can also be ruled out that Tony came with his female partner, he was photographed so alone.

"The Mail on Sunday" thought about Gu Qing after much deliberation. After all, in "Level One Fear", only Gu Qing and Tony are the same in the scientific community. Besides, at the Apex Awards ceremony last year, they were not Do you have a good time? ←The staff in charge of the live broadcast of the Pot Top Awards Ceremony have memorized it. Who told them to set up the cameras, but they just didn’t have close-range radio.

Now that you have a "trigger point", you have to think about the specific reasons.

The "Sunday Mail" also didn't think in the direction that Tony is an idiot, Tony is Gu Qing's brainless fan, Tony is unrequited love Gu Qing, etc. It doesn't sound so Stark.

You said that there was a lot of noise last year, "Tony Stark is actually a deep cabinet" accident?Please, is it rumored that Tony Stark's female companion who can circle Malibu for a week is bought with money?The name of the playboy who is famous all over the United States, is it just a joke?So just listen to it, if you are serious, you will lose.

The Mail on Sunday wasn't serious, hence the 'Tony Stark interested in showbiz? ! ', which is also an eye-catching headline.

However, the "Sunday Mail" also spent a lot of money, turning the new issue of the newspaper into a special issue.

Except for the headlines, the rest seem to be trying to prove the proposition they made, putting forward arguments that sound plausible at first glance.

One of the reports is about the deep friendship between Tony and Gu Qing, and the accompanying picture is a photo of Tony and Gu Qing at the summit award ceremony.The group photo at that time was Nicholas West, the chairman of the Vertex Award Organizing Committee, standing in the middle, "hugging left and right". P dropped.

The writing style of the reporter of "Sunday Mail" is still very good. He writes vividly and vividly about the friendship between geniuses at first sight, and then the sympathy for each other, as if he has witnessed it with his own eyes.

Even the Mo that Gu Qing wore on the red carpet was classified as being given to him by Tony as a gift to witness their sincere friendship.After all, it is well known that Tony is not skilled in manual work, but in electronics and machinery. Gu Qing, the Summit Award will be awarded to him in recognition of his achievements in genetics. In addition, his three doctorates are Genetics, biological sciences and psychology.

In addition, Tony went to the theater to watch "First Degree Fear" in such a low-key manner, so he still had concerns about the identities of the two.Tony is the chairman of Stark Industries, while Gu Qing is a talented researcher who has changed his name to EX Industries. Tony did this to avoid any trouble for Gu Qing.

Anyway, this is a deep and great friendship.

In order to prove the comprehensiveness of their newspaper and the fact that they did not specifically consume the fame of Tony and Gu Qing, the "Sunday Post" also wrote another report on "Level One Fear".

The reporter of the "Sunday Mail" did not watch the premiere of "First Fear", but he still interviewed fans who had watched "First Fear", as well as the grand occasion outside the theater, so he attached the picture and matched it with With my own thoughts, a film review mainly praising Gu Qing was born.

If it is not at the end of this plausible film review, it would be more professional to make movies and be an actor if it is not expected that Tony will follow in the footsteps of friendship.

In short, let’s not delve into the authenticity of the news written in it, but just look at the accompanying pictures, it is very convincing, isn’t that how “there are pictures and there are truths”?

In addition, readers have already seen the huge title before seeing the picture. Under such preconceived circumstances, no matter how you look at the man in the very artistic picture, it is Tony Stark.In fact, if there were no preconceived ideas, the number of people with such firm ideas would be much smaller.

Unfortunately, there is no if.And, undeniably, that was really Tony.

Therefore, the "Sunday Post" was sold out, and other newspapers also reprinted headline reports, and most of them were reprinted on the headlines of their newspapers to stimulate sales.Not only that, the nightly news or talk shows also made fun of this incident, and there were also professional newspapers in the financial and scientific circles.

——The financial world still feels turmoil and lingering fears over the collapse of the Sterak Industrial Building and the name change to EX Industries, even though there were signs of this incident last year, and it surfaced at the beginning of this year , and nearly a month has passed since the dust settled, but Gu Qing's identity and Tony's identity, there is no way not to touch their sensitive nerves.

As for the scientific community, it is easy to understand, who made Gu Qing and Tony famous scientists in the scientific community, the scientific community will naturally pay attention to their joint "lace news".

Having said so much, I just want to say: Tony, your beautiful photos have spread all over the United States.

Seriously: once the news spread, it got out of hand.And I have to admit that the "Mail on Sunday" sells a good "bundle sale" + "exclusive news".

Let me make another digression, "First Fear" has also been popular, good reputation plus high exposure, and perhaps the gold-lettered sign of "Tony Stark has seen movies", making "First Fear" not uncommon. Accidents will usher in a box office explosion.

Now that the digression is over, I have to talk about the feelings of the parties involved——

The person who can be called the party most is undoubtedly Tony.

Pepper is Tony's most trusted secretary. In the past two days, she has received countless calls, either wanting to interview Tony, or wanting to know whether Tony really intends to enter the showbiz, or those from Tony. The girlfriends before and after were ecstatically begging to hug their thighs, or the company's shareholders made insinuations that Tony didn't want to have a face-to-face with EX Industry, etc. A series of phone calls.

The phone is not crazy, she is going crazy.

Pepper couldn't bear it anymore and went to Malibu again. As soon as he entered the gate of Tony's spacious villa, he was almost hit by stacks of newspapers.Taking a closer look, the spacious hall has become a sea of ​​newspapers. Pepper: "...Jarvis, what is going on here?"

Jarvis, who was everywhere in Tony's villa, spoke unhurriedly: "Mr. bought it back, and he said it will be used for reclamation."

Little Pepper immediately sensed something was wrong. Tony didn't seem like someone who would care about such news. He had published news or photos that were more embarrassing than this before. It's just that the movie was filmed, why do you care so much?Also, "Jarvis, let me ask you, are Tony and Eric Xavier as close as the newspapers say in private?"

It's not that Pepper thinks too much, but she knows that Tony once went to study psychology, so it's not unreasonable to say that they have a good relationship in private.

Jarvis asked and answered: "Do you mean that Mr. Xavier and Mr. Xavier are in the laboratory, doing research together, and then hugging each other and celebrating after the success of the research? Unfortunately not, Mr. Back and forth In all, I've seen Mr. Xavier twice, and of course Mr. Xavier."

Pepper: "...Only two sides? Then why did Tony go to see his performance of "First Fear"?"

Jarvis probably paused for a while, but he might have had an illusion before he said: "This matter is very complicated to talk about, and it dates back to the first meeting between Mr. Xavier and Mr. Xavier—"

"Mute."

Tony appeared expressionlessly, and at the same time silenced Jarvis, standing on the steps, looking at Pepper through the newspapers all over the floor, and asked in a toneless tone: "Are you also Have you seen the movie that who acted in?"

——Well, maybe it's time to congratulate Gu Qing for getting a new nickname, "You-know-who".
