Acting King's Daily [Comprehensive British and American]

On November 1998, 11, "The Truman Show" held its premiere in Los Angeles.

Let’s not talk about the relationship between [-]th Century Fox and Gu Qing as the publisher, just in the face of common interests, [-]th Century Fox is not stupid enough to hold back, for example, it does not work hard on publicity, or makes a show at the premiere. What a moth, doing this is of no benefit to [-]th Century Fox, which has also invested material and financial resources in "The Truman Show".

Killing a goose and taking eggs is just a matter of thinking about it in your heart. If you really do it, then wait to be despised to death by your peers.

Furthermore, in order to show that there is really no crack in the relationship between them, 2910th Century Fox did its best for "The Truman Show".The premiere ceremony was very grand. The [-]th Century Fox Coefficient invited well-known film critics in the United States, and the most influential media also sent invitation letters. Not only that, it also "personally" expressed its love for "Truman". The box office of "The World" is optimistic, which can be seen from the number of theaters where "The Truman Show" opened, which is [-].

Considering that "The Truman Show" is not a purely commercial film, strictly speaking, its artistic value is higher than its commercial value, and now 2463th Century Fox is clearly treating it with the standards of commercial films to a large extent. up.Leaving aside comparisons with other films, Saving Private Ryan, directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Hanks, is still in theaters, and to some extent it cannot Known as a purely art film, even so, it only had 2807 theaters when it was first shown, and gradually increased the number of movie theaters later, and it was only [-] at the most.

In fact, [-]th Century Fox did not lose everything. The movie "The Truman Show" was promoted under the banner of "Carl, Rose and Jack" reuniting. This is a lifetime series!

Although this is too absolute, as if the three of them will never appear in a movie together again, think about it, considering the popularity and status of the three of them plus their salary, unless there is another movie Movies like "Titanic", otherwise it would be difficult to assemble them into one movie, so it's almost the same in the lifetime, and the more important movie fans will eat this.In addition, without knowing the plot of "The Truman Show", they are still wondering what kind of love triangle will be staged by these three people, or thinking about how the regret in "Titanic" can be found in "Truman Show". "The Truman Show" was made up... For a while, fans' enthusiasm for "The Truman Show" rose again and again.

In this case, [-]th Century Fox will be so confident.

Besides, its promotion is not #hanging sheep's head selling dog meat #, Eric Xavier, Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio did co-star in "The Truman Show" ah.As for the "love triangle" and so on, it's all made up by movie fans themselves, and it has nothing to do with it at all.

— Twentieth Century Fox won.

Let's not talk about such a brazen publicity strategy, let's watch the premiere that is in full swing. The celebrity appeal of "The Truman Show" is indeed strong, even James Cameron, who is "making a car behind closed doors", has come, but considering that he and Eric Xavier have a great friendship, it is understandable to come to support the new movie.However, the point of excitement for the reporters is not this, but that Cameron came with producer Jon Landau, which means that he is not Eric Xavier's partner—"Titanic" "At the premiere of ", Eric Xavier and Cameron walked the red carpet together, but they almost didn't let the excited reporters flash their facial muscles.

Could it be that the 'Big Triangle' walked the red carpet together this time?

So is Tony Stark coming?

Or are they going to be grouped in pairs?

More unscrupulous combinations appeared in the reporter's mind, but what they never expected was that in the end, not only Tony Iron Man Stark did not come, but even Leonardo DiCapri O didn't come either, given that Eric Xavier and Kate Winslet were the finale.

The reporters expressed their disbelief, isn't this combination too bland?

What about the agreed trio? !

It's no wonder that the "expectations" of the reporters are too high. The main reason is that they are used to "big fish and big meat". Think about when Eric Xavier walked the red carpet so plainly?It was the L.A. Confidential premiere, where he walked the red carpet with his co-star, Kim Basinger, but wasn't there a Tony Stark gag?The explosive points are higher than the current group.

This is not true:

In the interview area, the reporter couldn't help but asked, "Eric, why did you walk the red carpet with Kate?"

No matter how this sentence sounded a bit wrong, the reporter quickly added another sentence, "You have never walked a red carpet with Kate before, so—"

When the reporter said this, Kate thought about it. Compared with her regular red carpet combination (men and women), Gu Qing's red carpet combination is more colorful, but this does not seem to be the key point that the reporters wanted to ask secretly. Bar?Kate could somewhat understand the intentions of the reporters. She looked at Gu Qing and waited for Gu Qing to answer.

Gu Qing answered as a matter of course: "Because Kate and I play a couple in this movie."

This is a small breaking point, given that they don't know what the story of "The Truman Show" is, in this way, those fans who regret that Carl and Rose are not together will be blessed.

I just don't know what kind of role Leonardo played in "The Truman Show", "Then can I ask why Leo didn't attend this premiere?"

Kate knows the reason, but she can't involve another movie at the premiere of "The Truman Show", and the fact that the two of them are going to make a new movie together has not been announced yet, so this issue will continue Gu Qing answered.

Gu Qing's tone became more subtle and said: "Because Kate and I play a couple with a very complicated relationship in this movie?"

Kate: "..." This answer, okay?

Reporters: "..." What does that mean?Is it possible that "The Truman Show" continues the setting of "Titanic"?It's just that this time the unmarried couple turned into a couple, and Leonardo still plays the third party?Is it okay to set it like this?Not fresh and refined at all.No, there must be other meanings.Didn't you say that in "The Truman Show", this is the leading actor?That is to say, there is the halo of the protagonist. Could it be that after finding out that his wife was cheating, he managed to kill his wife and the third party?

The direction of the reporters' imaginations was definitely misled by the propaganda of Twentieth Century Fox, and Gu Qing's vague and thought-provoking words, but Twentieth Century Fox is irresponsible, but Gu Qing is not. He is explaining like this After a pause for a few seconds, he said Shi Shiran again: "This seems to be a typo. Hmm, Leo actually has something to do and can't come."

The reporters are going to be in a mess, have they been tricked again?

Kate, who also thought too much, didn't want to express any opinions on this. When she entered the theater, she saw Cameron who was staring at him with sharp eyes. After a second of thought, Kate decisively withdrew from Gu Qing. , didn't even give Gu Qing a sympathetic look - Kate didn't think Gu Qing needed it, didn't she?

Gu Qing watched Kate walk towards the rest of the crew, and then walked to Cameron's side under Cameron's burning gaze, and greeted him with a calm expression: "James."

Cameron raised his eyebrows: "Why didn't Leo come with you?"

"Because you want to avoid suspicion?" Gu Qing replied, but Cameron glared at him.Gu Qing felt that he was extremely innocent, "Isn't it because you were a little bit weird when you spoke first, so I answered you according to your tone? Why are you still glaring at me now?"

Cameron: "...you are still reasonable, right?"

Gu Qing sighed: "James, you are getting harder and harder to coax."

The veins on Cameron's forehead started to throb just now, but the damn thing is that he can't get angry yet, who made this a public place.Cameron calmed down, and this time his tone finally became normal: "Where's Leo?"

"So the previous paragraph was ruthlessly edited by you, James? I can understand that it is useless." Gu Qing still knew that he would accept it as soon as he saw it, and he stopped teasing Cameron and told the truth , "Leo is currently working as a staff member in a mental hospital under EX Industries."

Cameron froze for a moment, and quickly realized: "For "Fight Club"? What! Can't I know about this?"

"Jon told you?" Gu Qing stated, and explained Cameron's confusion by the way, "Well, you subconsciously glanced at him just now."

Cameron snorted, but did not refute.Gu Qing and Leonardo are going to collaborate on a new movie, "Fight Club" directed by David Fincher. It was indeed Jon Landau who told him.

In addition, Cameron also knew the outline of the story of "Fight Club" and bought the original book of "Fight Club", so there is no need to say it out loud.Cameron was not surprised that Leonardo would be interested in this cult film, but it was beyond Cameron's expectation that Gu Qing agreed to participate.

Obviously, after reading the original novel of "Fight Club", Cameron also knew that the dirty and messy environment here was a great challenge to Gu Qing, a cleanliness patient, but Gu Qing had already agreed to play the role, except because it was Lai Leonardo also starred, and Cameron couldn't think of any other reason.In this way, it is no wonder that when Cameron asked about Leonardo, his tone was not normal.Thinking about it carefully, this incident seems to have started before this...

"James?"

Cameron came back to his senses, met Gu Qing's inquiring eyes, obviously he was not the one running towards the extraordinary, but Cameron actually felt guilty, it must be because he is in the theater now.He snorted coldly: "The movie is about to start, why don't you sit down?"

This is a bit lame, but Gu Qing didn't get to the bottom of it.

……

Because of the misleading publicity of Twentieth Century Fox, many fans mistakenly believe that "The Truman Show" is a romantic movie.Donna is one of them. She sat in the cinema watching "The Truman Show" with such preconceived notions, and she became more and more confused in the first 10 minutes of the film.

She saw that Kate's wife, Melo, was not normal, and Leonardo's Marlon was not quite right, which prompted Donna to go to the bloody plot of "my best friend and my wife" It's hard to say, but it's not right.

Donna couldn't help sharing her thoughts with Molly.

Molly couldn't help rolling her eyes: "Please, this isn't a romance movie at all, okay? Didn't you read the beginning? The Truman played by Eric is a reality show actor, but he doesn't know He's on a reality show, and the rest of the actors know it's a reality show."

what?

What about a romantic love story? "So it's a big scam on Eric? A love scam?"

Molly: "...I seem to hear your reflex arc crying, Donna."

Fortunately, Donna’s reflex arc can still be saved. The plot progresses to Truman sitting on the beach and encounters a rainy day, but the rain is very strange. At first, there was only a circular area with Truman as the center and a radius of only half a meter. , when Truman moved, the rain curtain moved with him, and it took 20 seconds for the rain curtain to form a whole piece, and it looked like it was really raining.

Donna couldn't help but analyze: "Eric is making a movie, in the movie he is Truman, and then Truman is making a movie again, but he doesn't know he's making a movie, is that right?"

Molly was almost stunned by Donna's words, and when she came back, she didn't intend to correct Donna's misconception that Truman was in a reality show, not a movie, so let Donna understand it that way.

Donna's reflex arc was too long. Other movie fans who had misconceptions reacted earlier than Donna. After cursing [-]th Century Fox in circles in their hearts, they did not leave early in annoyance.They just want to see what the movie is about, and they are afraid that if they leave so early, they will be killed by the eyes of other fans. The romantic plot of the film, the story that this film is really trying to tell is even more fascinating.

Later, like the audience of "The Truman Show", they became emotionally fluctuating with Truman's actions. When they finally followed Truman's sight and found that the sky in the entire Taoyuan Town was man-made, they endured I couldn't help but gasp.Although they already knew that all the residents of Taoyuan Town except Truman were hired actors, and that the roads, weather, and even the sea could be controlled by the production team of "The Truman Show", they still didn't expect that Even the sky far away in the sky is fake.When Truman touched the "sky curtain", the "sky curtain" looked very bright, but it still made fans feel shuddering.

Different from the audience of "The Truman Show", those who watched the produced "The Truman Show" in "The Truman Show" really felt like watching an ending after Truman walked out of Taoyuan Island. Like the TV series, there is no burden to switch to other TV stations, but the fans in the theater are sitting in their seats thinking, and are not in a hurry to leave.

Donna pushed Molly: "Molly, what are you thinking?"

"I was thinking that after Truman left Taoyuan Town, he came to our real world, how should he survive? Also, don't you think our real world is also like a huge studio, and each of us is Chu Door, is everyone's "The Truman Show" being staged in the real world?" Molly finished speaking with gestures, and then seemed to be in deep thought again.

Donna: "...you think too deeply, Molly."

Molly pursed her lips: "Then what do you think?"

Donna rubbed her chin with a deep expression on her face: "I think Eric is really going to win the statuette this time!" Speaking of this, Donna is still angry until now, obviously whether her male god is in "Titans" He performed very well in "The Nick" and "Gatta", but he didn't win a single Oscar at the Oscars!

"Well--"

"You're still hesitant, don't you think Eric's acting is really good this time?" Donna thought for a while and then shared her thoughts, "I was distracted in the beginning, and I was actually distracted halfway through watching it." I was thinking that Eric’s role this time is so sweet, but I didn’t think about it later. Anyway, I think Eric’s performance is very engaging, you know what I mean? "

Molly nodded, but she hesitated and said hesitantly: "But the youngest actor in Oscar history, Richard Dreyfuss was 30 years and 156 days old when he won the award, and that was 20 years ago By the way, even Nicolas Cage, who won the Best Actor Award a few years ago, is also 32 years old—”

Donna interrupted her science introduction with wide eyes: "Molly!"

"I just checked it before," Molly shrugged. "Well, I also hope that Eric can become the youngest actor."

Only then was Donna satisfied, and she couldn't help muttering: "Hmph, if Eric was an actress, he would have already got a statuette."

Molly: "..." Molly really didn't know how to make complaints about this sentence. She thought about it and didn't express any further opinions on the topic, because the two of them were on different factions at the time. She just asked Donna , "Do you want to watch it again?" After watching it, she still has to think about how to write a movie review.

——A good movie fan of the century.
