Acting King's Daily [Comprehensive British and American]

"Eric, what should I do? I'm starting to feel nervous?" Leonardo said suddenly when the lights in the theater dimmed and the light on the front big screen gradually brightened.

"I thought you were so nervous that you didn't realize what tonight's premiere represented." Kate couldn't help but choked on Leonardo. To be honest, she herself was not much better, although the temperature in the theater was moderate. , but she could feel her palms sweating.

"I didn't talk to you again, Kate. Eric, why don't you talk?" Leonardo looked to the other side, met a pair of eyes that seemed to be breathing fire, Leonardo shrank his neck, and instantly He was sitting upright and looking ahead, how could he forget that Gu Qing was sitting next to the 'evil dragon'?

Cameron didn't forget to give Gu Qing a hard look at Gu Qing who didn't speak at all. It can be said that Gu Qing was shot while lying down, but he didn't add fuel to the fire at this time - he was sitting next to Cameron, and Cameron's tension can be felt even in his clothes. The director seems to have relaxed on the surface, but in fact he is still nervous.

But when the screening of "Titanic" began, Cameron miraculously relaxed.

#Unsuccessful, then success#

Gu Qing glanced sideways at Cameron, and the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch. He once said that he was a fan of Cameron. This is really not a joke. Cameron has something that gradually disappeared after he traveled through various worlds. , For example, the spirit of "sacrificing one's life for righteousness" can be explained as the passionate spirit of daring to contribute everything for the film industry he loves.Although Gu Qing is not cold-blooded, the thing of "hot blood" has probably been lost long ago, but this does not prevent him from envious and sincerely admiring people who have this kind of thing.

Such a person is naturally worthy of success.

Indeed, after the screening of "Titanic", there was thunderous applause in the theater for 5 minutes. Not only were ordinary audiences who were moved after watching this movie, but also professional film critics and media people. Spontaneously stood up and applauded "Titanic".Even before the release of "Titanic", they questioned this movie, thinking that this movie, which cost nearly [-] million U.S. dollars, would sink like the Titanic when it hit the rocks and then sank in the Atlantic Ocean. The history of cinema; even before they've seen the film in its entirety, they still had a headline in their minds to laugh about in tomorrow's newspaper or magazine...but now they've largely dismissed the original idea, This is a very good movie.

"You don't think there's anything between Carl and Jack this time, do you, Mr. Reiner?" Amid applause and screams, Joseph Atkins couldn't help teasing Tim Reiner.He still remembers Tim Reiner's inexplicable behavior before the screening of "Titanic".

When Tim Reiner heard the words, he gave Joseph Atkins an inexplicable look, and said calmly: "I think that as a professional film critic, one should comment on films, not put personal emotions into film reviews." Outside, Mr. Atkins. And it's clear that Carl is deeply in love with Rose, and I'm sure you won't object to that, will you?"

Joseph Atkins also had to play against Tim Reiner: "If you have seen the movie seriously, then you should have seen Carl do disgraceful things, such as framing Jack, put Jack in the prison on the ship. If Rose hadn't rescued him, he would have died when the Titanic sank. This is not a gentleman's character; let's say he was in the water Shooting and killing Jack and Rose, forcing Jack and Rose to flee into the restaurant... I didn't see from this scene that he loved Rose deeply. Didn't he know that he would hit Rose when he shot? Is it silk? Besides, if you love someone deeply, shouldn’t you learn to let go? I think Karl is possessive, he still doesn’t know how to love someone.”

Joseph Atkins spoke hastily and quickly, and because the audience applauded and screamed throughout the theater, he had to go to Tim Reiner to hear him. Leaned over there and raised the volume.

Tim Reiner only replied to this: "You also said that he still doesn't know how to love someone."

Joseph Atkins was at a loss for words for a moment, and he couldn't help but express his true feelings.

Speaking of which, Joseph Atkins was originally aimed at Eric Xavier. When he really saw the movie that James Cameron spent nearly 1912 million dollars to make, especially when he saw that it was natural Under the lens of the modern salvaged Titanic wreckage, it returned to [-] at once. When the dream ship was restored, Joseph Atkins couldn't help but widen his eyes. Joseph Atkins had to face up to the film technology that was far ahead of other films in the past.

Then at the port of Southampton where the Titanic set sail, the young Rose appeared on the stage. Joseph Atkins only had time to judge the dress of the noble lady Kate Winslet, when she heard a voice behind her. The sound of gasping in unison—Eric Xavier's Carl Hockley enters the scene.

Joseph Atkins couldn't help clicking his tongue, some actors are suitable to appear on the big screen!If we say that in "Gait Shot", Vincent in a suit and leather shoes matched with the meticulously combed golden-brown hair, and the superior posture of the "natural man" who imitated Jerome, combined with the cool tone of the space center, let him It looks more polite and polite, but also with a bit of restraint and sexiness—except for his cleaning scenes—of course, in "Titanic", he dyed his hair black and combed it with oil Carl, with a bright back and a modern suit, has the urge to make people bow down under his suit pants after he shows his arrogance as an upper class.

I don't know whether Eric Xavier is too suitable for black hair, or he is too suitable for playing aristocratic characters. Anyway, when these two elements are combined, it brings a full sense of surprise.If he hadn't known in advance that Carl played by Eric Xavier was a supporting role, and in the scene where he and Rose were not on good terms, Joseph Atkins would have doubted that Carl was the leading actor up.James Cameron is so courageous that he chose Eric Xavier to play the male lead's rival in love. It's really... well done!

At the critical moment, Joseph Atkins still remembered his identity as a film critic, and began to pay attention to Eric Xavier's acting skills and the performance of other actors.Well, his more attention is still on the branch line of Carl. He wants to see how Eric Xavier can exert more charm in such a role that is more inclined to the villain.

Gradually, from many details, for example, although Carl disliked Monet, those painters who were worthless in his opinion, he still bought them for Rose; for example, he bought the priceless "Heart of the Ocean" After Rose tried to kill herself, Carl, who seemed to realize something, gave it to Rose; for example, he flipped the table in a rage, but he didn't turn the table to Rose, but to the side And when Rose bowed her head after being frightened, he obviously showed a remorseful expression, but he restrained himself, paused and was about to leave, and scolded the maid to clean up the table, but actually let The maid went to comfort Rose... It can be seen that Karl is not what Rose thinks, he does not love her, this marriage is just a combination of the reputation of the old aristocrats and the money of the emerging bourgeoisie, but in From the perspective of bystanders, Carl loves his fiancée, but he is just not good at expressing it, or he chose the wrong way to express it, which will only push Rose further and further away.

Oh, and as for the ungentlemanlike character that Joseph Atkins told Tim Reiner, for God's sake, Rose purposely put the nude painting Jack drew her in the safe, Carl This seems to be betrayed by Rose. As a man, especially a man who loves that woman without knowing it, if he is not furious, the audience will wonder if there is something wrong with him.

Besides, the scene where Carl chased Jack and Rose with a pistol and shot, Joseph Atkins’ deepest feeling at that time was not to tell Carl #有一个爱叫去手#, but whether Carl was crying?Just when Carl finished reloading the bullet in his pistol, and watched Rose leave Jack without hesitation, and he walked up the steps dejectedly from the water, Carl at this time was no longer the glamorous and beautiful man he was at the beginning. The proud and conceited little prince of steel (?), he has always combed his hair meticulously, and at this time, a few strands hang down naturally, which makes this handsome young man look like a child , the little child who lost his most beloved toy.

I don’t know what other people think, but at that time Joseph Atkins thought of such a scene: Wearing suspenders and trousers, the young lady who had already started to comb her back hair like adults at a young age secretly wiped her hair in the corner of a luxurious room. tears.The difference is that at that time, Mrs. Zheng might tell the butler that his toy was lost, but now Carl, when the butler chased him, quickly put away the previous depression, and returned to the original arrogant look, and he was still stern. Talk about the 'Heart of the Ocean' in the suit jacket that Rose wears.

Seriously, if he didn't look like he was about to cry before, everyone would really be deceived by him. Didn't the housekeeper not be deceived by him if they didn't see it?

Finally, if you love someone, sometimes you have to learn to let go, then Karl may have learned this after experiencing life and death: at the very end, when the survivors of the Titanic arrived at the port of New York, Karl Looking for Rose in the rain.But Rose tied her hair up, unwilling to let Karl find her, and what Rose didn't know was that Karl's eyes, with her back turned, had lingered on her back thoughtfully. What does it mean to stay?

Maybe Karl didn't recognize it, or maybe Karl recognized it, but finally chose to let go?This is different from the beholder, and the wise see the wisdom. Anyway, Joseph Atkins thinks that Carl still doesn’t know how to love, but when he learns to love, it’s already too late.

This was what Joseph Atkins really thought, but now that he saw Tim Reiner's "I know everything" expression, he immediately didn't want to know anything about this person.

At this time, the main creators of "Titanic" came to the stage in front of the screen to thank the audience for their love amidst the warm applause of the audience.

Joseph Atkins looked at 'Carl' Eric Xavier standing with 'Jack' Leonardo, and he was really uncomfortable, but what Joseph Atkins is sure now is that When Eric Xavier was limited by the role, he was able to give full play to the character's maximum charm value, making the character who was very likely to be the background board of the love of Jack and Rose, or the background board of disgrace, deduced into a character. Controversial but will be understood by most viewers.

Considering that this is his second movie, then as far as Joseph Atkins can be responsible, he has great potential.

Indeed, Gu Qing's potential in acting is indeed limitless, beyond the imagination of professional film critics——

The unprecedented success of the premiere of "Titanic" can be said to have swept away the haze that had previously shrouded the heads of the crew and 3000th Century Fox. Although the box office in the three days of the weekend was only [-] million US dollars, it was not enough for the first weekend of "Gait Shot" half of the box office, but considering that the film length of "Titanic" is a full three hours, which is equivalent to twice the length of an ordinary film, this will undoubtedly directly affect the number of screenings and filming density of the film. And other indicators, which in turn will have an impact on the film's box office, and this is already better than [-]th Century Fox's expectations in advance, not to mention that the paper media has changed their previous pessimism and started to sing carols for "Titanic", and The audience's enthusiastic pursuit of this movie has already begun to take shape.

Twentieth Century Fox has their own channels for collecting information. The high-level executives have pushed aside the dark clouds, and they still want to see the "sunshine", so they must not lose the chain at critical moments, and they must increase their propaganda efforts.They conveyed their ideas to the main creators of the crew, and arranged the promotional task in this way.

When it comes to Gu Qing, it is well known that he has a unique way of promoting movies, even in TV interviews, he has only appeared on "Oprah's Talk Show" once.Twentieth Century Fox is not easy to force, but do you have to give it a try? Twentieth Century Fox originally planned to take out the "billion dollar bet" between Gu Qing and the reporter, but it was unexpected that Gu Qing agreed. refreshing.

Oh, with Cameron.

That's fine, it's fine, Twentieth Century Fox has absolutely no objections.

Cameron was also uncharacteristically this time, he didn't dislike Gu Qing so much, he didn't forget to warn Gu Qing, telling him to pay attention to what he said.

Gu Qing showed a polite smile, letting everyone know that Gu Qing had come to the TV station, so he rushed to tell each other and then rushed to watch the NBC employees, of course most of them were female employees, no matter how old they were, they couldn’t control I want it.

"Don't you know? I'm shy around people, James."

Cameron rolled his eyes, but he didn't say anything. Anyway, this time he had made up his mind to teach Gu Qing a lesson.

Gu Qing half-closed his eyes, and said in a declarative tone: "James, there is something wrong with you."

Cameron gave a "thud" in his heart, the little bastard wouldn't see anything coming, would he?Cameron exhaled from his nose: "Is it because I didn't yell at you? I'm not like you, I know what a public place is!"

Gu Qing seemed to believe Cameron's words, and it happened that the assistant director came over and signaled that the two of them were ready to enter.At the entrance of the studio, they could already hear the host Jay Leno's deep voice: "Some people say this movie is a technological innovation in the history of movies, some say it's a movie about an unforgettable great love, and some people say Say it’s a movie you’ll regret if you don’t watch it, it’s Titanic! The next guest is about it, let’s please—”

Jay Leno did not immediately name the guests, but stood up from his seat and looked towards the entrance of the studio. The audience in the studio couldn't help but look at the entrance with excitement.

Cameron, who was no longer dark-faced, came out first, and the audience was about to applaud and welcome him, when they saw Gu Qing who came out with him, this was really unexpected, the audience's reaction was a bit behind, Jay Leno knocked on the table: "Did you think it was 'Jack' and 'Rose'? Huh?"

The next moment, there was a sound that would overturn the not-so-large studio in the auditorium. Screams and whistles flew together, and even the older audience was very excited.You must know that James Cameron is one of the most beloved directors in Hollywood, fans of "Titanic" are also of all ages, and Gu Qing needless to say, his identity as a scientist, as well as "Gattaca" and "soul" For Gene's speech, the age distribution of his fans ranged from eight months to 80 years old. It is only natural that the two together received such a warm welcome.

By the way, the talk show they are participating in now is "The Tonight Show" hosted by Jay Leno, which is an evening talk and variety show founded by NBC in 1954. Each episode consists of monologues, interviews The guests and the band sing in three parts and last about 50 minutes.Jay Leno has served as the fourth host in the history of this show since 1992. His hosting style is humorous but not bitter, and he takes care of the guests' feelings and avoids embarrassment. It maintains a high ratings, and even ranks at the top of the weekly ratings list.

This is one of the reasons why Cameron chose it. Of course, the ratings of "Oprah's Talk Show" are also very high, but Cameron doesn't have much affection for Oprah, a woman who intentionally or unintentionally poachs other people's pain points.

After getting to know each other and taking a seat, Jay Leno said with a smile: "I don't need to say more about how great the movie "Titanic" is. Every newspaper I subscribe to, whether it's the "New York Times" , the Los Angeles Times, or the EX Times -- yes, I subscribe to this paper -- the recent headlines are all about this movie, and I think journalists can't wait to write about it from every frame of the movie. It's news, so today we're going to ask something that no one else knows."

As soon as Jay Leno came up, he "opened the skylight and spoke brightly", and almost immediately aroused the curiosity of the audience in the studio or in front of the TV, and then he heard Jay Leno suddenly Said: "I heard that Eric was not considered as an actor at the beginning, he was just a behind-the-scenes staff, is that true?"

Cameron glanced at Gu Qing, nodded and said, "That's true. Although his computer technology is not as good as his achievements in genetic engineering, it is still very good, so I called him to help."

Gu Qing answered the words in a serious manner: "Well, I can testify that it is definitely a help, not including food or lodging, but also travel expenses."

Cameron glared at him, Gu Qing was extremely innocent, the audience was deceived by his performance, and thinking about Cameron's title of tyrant on the set, he had already started to imagine Gu Qing as a poor little boy oppressed by the tyrant.

Jay Leno said in Gu Qing's words: "I remember Eric, you were still unemployed at the time, isn't it more cost-effective to get paid than to pay the travel expenses? Or is it because the studio was not so famous at the time? Didn't like it? But that contradicts what happened later when you played Carl, doesn't it?"

The big director let out a sticky snort from his nose: "He didn't like the role of Carl at the time."

"Do you want to play Jack?" Jay Leno followed Cameron's words, "Eric's version of Jack——" Jay Leno looked at Gu Qing, who was also blond and blue-eyed, and the camera followed suit. Looking at him, he gave Gu Qing a close-up.

Therefore, it is good to say that good looks are good. If this matter is placed on others, such high-mindedness may arouse the disgust of some audiences, but when it comes to Gu Qing, the first thing everyone thinks of is what he would do when he plays Jack It looks like Jack played by Leonardo, he will be as free and unrestrained, and he is also very charming when he smirks... At this moment, Cameron threw a torpedo out with a bit of ill intentions: " No, he wants to be Rose."

Fearing that the audience would be confused the first time, as if they didn't hear clearly, Cameron repeated: "That's right, it's Rose."

Although Jay Leno knew about this in advance, he was inevitably surprised when he heard it again: "Rose? That Rose?" He gestured with his hands in the air to draw an exquisite body curve, and the audience also Dumbfounded, he came back and looked at the person involved.

Cameron was very sure, and Gu Qing didn't look embarrassed at all, making them all start to suspect that this was just a joke, but the good show just started, Cameron raised an eyebrow at Gu Qing: "You don't really think I'm Have you taken the video to be destroyed?"

At this time, Gu Qing's impeccable expression finally showed a crack, "No!"

Cameron was proud this time: "Not only did I not destroy it, but I also brought it."

"James, you can't do this to me!"

Jay Leno couldn't help standing up from his seat, and leaned out: "Yeah, James, you can't treat him like this, bring me the video!" After he finished speaking, he looked at the audience, "Don't tell me you don't want to watch it ?”

"Of course not—" The audience felt that there would be more exciting things happening, and it would be no wonder they would refuse, so Gu Qing, the minority, had to obey the majority, and the video tape was handed over to the program group and played. come out.

The originally noisy studio suddenly became quiet like a theater, and the video was shot with Cameron's professional camera, so the picture quality is absolutely guaranteed.The first thing I saw was Leonardo who came to the audition. His expression was actually quite dazed at the time, and then Gu Qing's voice came: "Jon, can I ask you to make a guest appearance?"

This is a very normal voice. Just when the audience thought they would see Gu Qing dressed as a woman, Gu Qing in an elegant three-piece suit appeared in the camera. He looked a little childish then than now, but Still extremely handsome, standing with Leonardo will complement each other.

But this is still Gu Qing, not Rose, just when the audience looked at each other, the scene in the video changed drastically.The audience just watched Gu Qing in a suit, trotting with his skirts in his hands, and the tears came as soon as they were said, the crystal tears were like beads with a broken thread, they seemed to be able to see that the tears were falling Tears splashed as they slid through the air.

The audience reacted with mouths wide open: "Whoa-"

The camera did not hesitate to take a close-up of the person involved. Gu Qing had already lowered his head and put his elbows on the armrest of the sofa, covering his face, as if he couldn't bear to look directly at the current situation.As for his true thoughts, only he knows, but his performance is not so convincing. Knowing that they will be on the "Tonight Show", he is waiting for Leonardo's performance at home to watch the live broadcast. It's the correct way to open it——Leonardo was already howling with his head in his arms after he realized what happened in the past. You must know that it's not even Rose who is reversed in this video.

The director watched the ratings increase at a speed visible to the naked eye in the background. When this video was played, the number of viewers of NBC's "The Tonight Show" had exceeded 2000 million, and now it is still fluctuating violently. The staff is already counting, and what's more, the program has just started for less than 5 minutes.

"Twenty-six million people!"

——Continue to rise, wow!
