Acting King's Daily [Comprehensive British and American]

"The thing I was worried about has finally come! What I said at the beginning shouldn't let you sign the contract, let you act in this movie, it's all right now!"

Jude Law looked at his agent Matt Rifkin like a headless chicken, and told him not to be so irritable: "The doctors said I was just a skin trauma, and I'll be fine with a few stitches."

"No, no, Jude, I'm not just talking about your injury, I'm talking about your future. Do you even realize what's going on? You know the troublemaker movie fan, and it's not a movie fan at all. It’s an extreme human, an anti-mutant extreme human, do you understand? Now everyone can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, this will be raised to a problem between the two races, and if it doesn’t work, it will be more than—” Ma T Rifkin paused to think of an analogy to make his client understand the seriousness of the matter, and he thought of one thing, "It's worse than John Hinckley Jr. assassinating President Reagan, you know that , Jude?"

Jude Law did know about this matter, after all, this matter has a lot to do with the entertainment industry.After watching the movie "Taxi Driver", John Hinckley Jr. became crazy infatuated with Jodie Foster, who played a child prostitute in it. In order to attract Jodie Foster's attention, he planned the assassination President Reagan's shocking global event.After this incident, Jodie Foster was shunned by the Hollywood film industry, causing Jodie Foster's career to stagnate until the seventh year after the assassination, Jodie Foster It was only with "The Robbery of Pear Blossoms" that she was accepted by the Hollywood film industry again, and later she won the Academy Award for Best Actress in "The Silence of the Lambs" for her role as an intern detective.

"That incident was an irrational act of crazy and extreme movie fans, and it cannot be confused with the current situation. I believe the public can tell the difference."

Matt Rifkin frowned so much that he could kill mosquitoes. He took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "You're kidding yourself, Jude. Just look at how many media outlets have come outside the hospital. Knowing how serious the problem is, I doubt that the media in Great Britain will be mobilized."

Seeing that Jude Law's face was still calm, he glared at him resentfully: "Jude, it's not that I speak badly, but I can tell you that if this matter is not handled properly, even the movie "Gatta Shot" No matter how high the box office is, no matter how high the word of mouth is, you will be affected greatly as one of the leading actors, and I mean negatively. You and Eric Xavier, no, let’s not talk about him, it’s you and Uma Thurman can't compare, even if she failed with the previous "Batman and Robin", but she is an American actress, and she has "Pulp Fiction" to live off. But you, don't you just want to go back to Broadway? Drama?"

"I don't think things will be so bad," Jude Law stood by the window and glanced out. There were crowds of people outside the hospital. Apart from the reporters, there were also many movie fans who came to hear the news . "I think Ai," Jude Law said with only his initials, and quickly changed his words, "EX Industries and Twentieth Century Fox will take care of it."

When he said this, Matt Rifkin calmed down a lot. The nature of this incident is still very different from that of John Hinckley Jr. back then. Jodie Foster was the one who was most affected. The negative impact on Taxi Driver and the film company was almost negligible under the ensuing attention.However, now this matter, which has been raised to a higher level, can be said to be a big breakthrough. The first to bear the brunt is EX Industry. The reason for this is that the sky is falling and there is a tall one holding it up.

After calming down, Matt Rifkin said, "I'll go outside to see what's going on."

Jude Law nodded.

After 10 minutes, Matt Rifkin came back with a tangled expression. Before he saw the situation in the ward, he said, "Jude, do you know that they have received threatening letters? Are you looking at the situation?" What?"

Jude Law ignored him, and Matt Rifkin looked at the TV in the ward. For God's sake, the BBC actually broadcast the 'press conference' outside. If it is really a The words of the press conference.The person in charge of the release is the heir of EX Industry, and he still has a band around his arm.

Wait, Matt Rifkin watched it for a few seconds before he realized he wasn't "asking me and answering" with the media anymore.Just when Matt Rifkin went out to check the specific situation, Eric Xavier was still being interviewed by reporters, and he also said that before that, EX Industries and [-]th Century Fox had already received a letter from Extreme A threatening letter sent by the anti-mutant organization, in which they claimed that they would take unscrupulous measures against "Gatta", a movie that in their view is promoting mutants, and related personnel, and also stated that they would organize ordinary Human beings who have a sense of crisis and do not want to see the existence of mutants leading to the ultimate extinction of ordinary humans will do bigger and more shocking things.

This sounds like nonsense at all, but they are a group of lunatics, and what happened on the red carpet is the best proof.

This is not the point that Matt Rifkin is going to say now, the point is what Eric Xavier is doing now, is he giving a speech impromptu?

"...genetic engineering has been groundbreaking since 1973 when DNA was broken down into segments and reassembled by biologists Stanley N. The Genome Project marks the beginning of a new era. Today's biotechnology can not only clone, transgene, and even create species. The development of gene technology has led to eugenics..."

Matt Rifkin couldn't help being distracted when he heard this. This is indeed an academic speech, but isn't it so appropriate now?Matt Rifkin didn't tell Jude Law the whole story before, that is, what happened now, Eric Xavier, the leading actor, may be affected the least, after all, he ran In the eyes of many people, acting in the entertainment industry is just for fun, especially since he is still the heir of the EX industry. The second generation and scientists, maybe when they want to have fun, they will invest in their own movies.

Just when Matt Rifkin was distracted, the extremely sensitive word 'mutant' came from the TV, which immediately brought Matt Rifkin's attention back to reality.He was so stunned to hear that the heir of the EX industry mentioned mutants in such a grandiose and aboveboard manner in front of so many media and the audience watching the live broadcast in front of the TV.Specifically, it is the gene X gene that mutants have more than ordinary humans. Matt Rifkin doesn't know what expression to make. Isn't this #明知山有虎，便虎山行#?

Matt Rifkin can't figure out what Eric Xavier wants to do now!He couldn't help turning his head to look at Jude Law, and found that he was concentrating on watching the TV with a pensive expression on his face. Could it be that he missed some important academic theory?Matt Rifkin tiptoed again, and he didn't know why he tiptoed, anyway, he just subconsciously didn't make a sound, walked to the window and looked down, the noisy small square in front of the hospital had quieted down, everyone Everyone seemed to be listening to the 'academic lecture' delivered by Eric Xavier on the makeshift press conference stage.

Matt Rifkin pursed his lips, just in the current posture, looking at the scene outside, listening to the voice from the TV in the ward, wondering what kind of "academic speech" is like this Charm?Could it be because he was bewitched by Eric Xavier's handsome appearance, so everything he said became more pleasant?

Is that why you don't look at your face?

This is not impossible, Matt Rifkin just listened to what he thought of as an 'academic speech', and within a minute, he didn't think so.

It took a minute, and in fact, when Matt Rifkin started to listen, the first thing he noticed was Eric Xavier's voice, his voice was pure and clear, reminiscent of The sound of gurgling water in the stream with infinite scenery, but there is a bit of hoarseness at the end of his words, which will make people have endless aftertaste.This kind of sound quality is rare in Hollywood... Matt Rifkin is definitely a professional criminal, and then he was quickly substituted into the emotions outlined by the owner of the sound by such a sound.

Matt Rifkin is also hard to describe the feeling, as if he is not talking to many people, but is having one-on-one communication with you, communication from the heart, communication from the heart, etc. Anyway, it will make you fluctuate with the ups and downs of his tone.

"...at the end of our film, we included a segment in which Einstein, Lincoln, and the sportswoman Jackie Joy Naxie were mentioned, and if genetic absolutism begets the truth, each has The Dyslexic, Marfan Syndrome and Asthmatic trio will not be born. At first when such a segment was definitely added, most people disagreed, fearing it would offend the audience.

Director Andrew Nicholl and I insisted that we felt that this clip really conveyed a very critical message: while optimizing genes, it also removed the most important elements that motivate human beings to continue to move forward: pain, problems, flaws and inadequacies.This is why Vincent will always try his best to work towards his ideal in the world of genetic determinism without reservation.

This kind of unreasonable adventure, the struggle without fear of death and self-defense, is the human spirit, the hope at the bottom of Pandora's box, and the greatest impossibility that the genetic elements that can be dismantled independently cannot be summarized and deduced.This spirit allows us to recognize the gaps in statistical probability, makes us risk our lives for illusory love and ideals, allows us to catch a glimpse of the hidden dawn behind the limit, and makes us finally become a human being with something that cannot be transformed into a formula, not a symbol, and cannot be transformed into a formula. Duplicated, unable to be grafted, no distinction between good and bad, people without genetic souls! "

This seems to be an inspiring speech that you would hear somewhere in normal times, but after Eric Xavier said it, it feels particularly touching, as if the soul is being gently stroked and sorted out.

It's like an angel kissed my forehead... Matt Rifkin was caught by his hypocritical description for a moment. He cleared his throat and was about to say something, but was suddenly applauded like thunder from below I was taken aback, but when he looked down, the applause did not continue.

Eric Xavier stopped the applause with just one gesture.

Yes, this is still a hospital after all.Matt Rifkin couldn't help muttering: "I'm afraid if you let them run naked now, they will take off their clothes without saying a word."

Jude Law came back to his senses: "Matt, what are you talking about?"

Matt Rifkin turned around, swallowed his saliva and said excitedly: "Jude, I think we can put back the heart that we raised up now, I think anyone who still has reason, in the After reading this paragraph, everyone should be appeased. Anyway, I think the current crisis is more than half over, and then we will see how EX Industries and [-]th Century Fox do public relations."

"Not 'us,'" Jude Law corrected.

Matt Rifkin: "What?"

"It's nothing, can I be discharged from the hospital now?" Jude Law changed the subject, and his eyes turned to the TV screen again. The international news is on.

"I still have to discuss this with the organizer, and see what the outside world says about your injury. You stay in the ward first." Matt Rifkin said as he was about to go out, and when he reached the door, When he was about to open the door of the ward, he turned his head and whispered, "Jude, you are not influenced by the movie "Wilde's Lover", are you?"

——"Wilde's Lover" is the love and life story of the famous Irish poet Oscar Wilde. He fell in love with the handsome and unruly young Sir Douglas and was accused by Sir's father. Wilde was finally sentenced to two years in prison. Jude Law plays the young Sir in it, and it's a gay film.

Jude Law said a little confused: "What are you talking about?"

Matt Rifkin stared at him for two seconds, then shrugged and said, "I just thought it was coming out this year too." Well, maybe he really was thinking too much, Jude had a fiancee before , just broke up because of less gathering and more separation.

After Jude Law waited for his agent to leave, he pursed his lips and turned off the TV.

As for Gu Qing who appeared vaguely in this thoughtless conversation, he didn't know about it, and he didn't know how much trouble would be caused by his "impromptu speech".

--good luck.
