Wilderness Challenge [Comprehensive British American American Entertainment]

The opening film of the 49th New York Film Festival is "Killing" directed by Roman Polanski.

Roman Polanski is a well-known controversial director in Hollywood. This kind of controversy stems from his complicated life experience - he encountered anti-Semitism in his childhood, encountered a cult murder in his middle age, and fell into a sexual assault incident in his later years. It also comes from the changeable style of his movies.

The cast of "Killing" can be said to be star-studded. Not only are two Oscar-winning actresses Jodie Foster and Kate Winslet on the same stage, but even the actor Christoph Waltz holds the statuette.

This luxurious configuration triggered a wave of carnival among movie fans and film critics on the first day of the film festival, and the main unit works that were screened immediately heated up the atmosphere of the film festival. In "My Week with Monroe" as the The climax is reached when the focus work is released.

Jennifer watched Lincoln Center from the car.

At this time, the venue was crowded with people, movie fans and fans were waiting by the security line, reporters carrying equipment stood outside the main entrance and on the steps inside the door, and invited film critics and media gathered together to talk laugh.

The main creative team is almost here.

"Little Lover" Eddie is wearing a crisp velvet black suit today, a herringbone tie is neatly worn under the collar of his shirt, and his hair is combed back meticulously, completely highlighting his nine-headed figure. Very energetic, but also very beautiful.

He had received Jennifer's text message early and was just in time to open the car door for her.

Before getting out of the car, Maha helped Jennifer adjust her clothes one last time, and stared at the wide-necked tube top dress several times before signaling that she could go.Eddie deliberately stood in front of her, so that when she got out of the car, a natural half-bend would not let people standing on the high ground see anything they shouldn't see.

"I'll leave Jennifer to you, Mr. Redmayne." Alfred said very kindly.

Maha was about to find her old acquaintances, when she heard the old housekeeper's words, she immediately thought of the "shocking announcement" of her family's cash cow in the big apartment, and couldn't help laughing: "Yes, Mr. Redmayne."

Jennifer swore she saw Eddie's ears turn red.

This guy is still useless as always, he will turn into a dragon fruit if he makes a joke a little bit, and he doesn't know where he has the face to dare to boast that he recently "sees the dawn of hope for love".

Pooh!

The Rolls-Royce behind her drove away towards the nearby parking lot. She gracefully took the arm of her male companion and walked towards the foyer. She didn't dare to get close to the security line to sign autographs for fans. A reassuring smile.

"What are you holding?" Eddie asked as he paused around the corner.

"It's nothing." Jennifer spread her palms and gave him a look. "I don't know why the craftsmanship of the craftsmen is so poor. A pearl fell on the way here, so I don't know what to do."

"Pearl bracelets?" Eddie lowered his voice, "If you lose a bead, don't wear it at all. You are already perfect in this dress. Besides, I remember you hated pearl bracelets in the film crew before, and then you changed them. It's gone, why now...?"

At the end of the day, he had raised his final note, trying to keep his face red while teasing.

Knowing what this kid was thinking, Jennifer replied very frankly: "Bruce gave me a bracelet when I took a photo last time, and you know that I was lucky enough to escape. Today's premiere also needs some luck, So I prepared another bunch."

"Yeah," Eddie sighed, "we could use a little luck."

This may be a film aimed at the Olympic Games, but to take a step back, it must also be a film that can meet expectations.Not only the main creative team has high hopes for it, but also fans and researchers of Marilyn Monroe for so many years.

Film adaptations are the most stressful for actors.

The audience expects the finished product to be perfect, but in the end, some people are often disappointed, because everyone has a preset character image in their hearts, a novel that has been interpreted, and a history that has been imagined countless times.

It is always true that there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand audiences.

Both of them had heavy expectations in their hearts, and they didn't know what to say after a while.They walked through the area with the most cameras with trained smiles, and then began to deal with the media reporters who came up.

Being an actor really requires a memory sometimes.

The promotion period of most movies is one, two, or even years after they are finished, and the clichés that most media like to ask require a lot of memory and understanding.

Classic subjects include - "understanding of roles", "interpretation of the plot", "favorite plot", "which character do you want to be the most", "evaluation on the co-director", "evaluation on the partner", "Evaluation of the production team", "Interesting incidents during filming"...

All of the above have to be drafted well, especially in relation to the characters, otherwise there may be a tragedy of the mouth.

Jennifer's own habit is to have an in-depth understanding of the characters and the background of the plot. Before the publicity period, she will understand all the masterpieces and new works of the main creative team. Subjective questions depend entirely on fate.

If you don't have it, make it up now, if you can't make it up, make it up.

For example, a reporter asked, "Can you tell me about your impressions when you and Eddie first met?"

At that time, Jennifer smiled wryly in her heart.

Four or five years have passed since the first meeting. She really can't remember where she met her and what the situation was like at that time.

But facing the media, she behaved completely at ease, such as "tall", "thin", "unexpectedly handsome", "looks a little out of gregarious, but I didn't expect to be a big boy", and she pulled a bunch of them smoothly.

After the reporter left contentedly, Eddie gave her a hard look.

"With all due respect," Mr. Redmayne said, "the first time we met was probably at the London Film Festival. At that time, you came to promote the film, and I went to study. Because there was no film, I wore three layers of clothes in the winter , with roommates on the side, I'm really curious how you can tell I'm 'skinny' and 'out of the box'."

"oops," Jennifer said.

"What are you oopsing?" Eddie asked.

"Forgive me." Jennifer waved her hand and apologized, "We have known each other for so long, and many early details have been blurred. Besides, I couldn't remember the first meeting with anyone, such as Amanda, she is It turned out that after Linda left, I had only been with my assistant for half a year, but I can't even remember the first time I met her."

"So the story you told us about meeting Wayne last time was also fake?" Eddie raised his eyebrows.

"Of course I made it up." Jennifer said nonsense without changing her face.

This sentence seems to have opened the curtain of nonsense.

All they encountered along the way were boring problems, each of them had their own backs and downs, and each had their own small things to magnify, adding details to the "memories" seemed to be at their fingertips, and each of them seemed to be making up fairy tales.

The answers given are all for textbook-like publications, and there is nothing wrong with them. They look glamorous and talkative, and they are full of water when they are picked up and shaken.

Very occasionally they come across some fresh topic.

“People compliment each other all the time,” said one interviewer. “We both know that the two of you have always had a good relationship. (“Nothing!” Eddie said sternly.) Please come and read it."

"Great thing." Eddie beamed with joy.

"Please show me." Jennifer responded immediately.

"I don't think there's any need for women to come first at a time like this?" Eddie retorted.

So the two of them were still wearing corresponding dresses, black suits and white skirts, with their arms linked together one second ago, and started arguing over who should read first the next second.

These "nonsensical" complaints are not so nonsensical, at least not all of them are aimless, but the degree of poisonousness of netizens in the evaluations of various countries is very different.

Those who like to use all kinds of bad words are basically American netizens. They always complain bluntly, and often capitalize the whole text or turn it into an asterisk; while those who like to use weird adjectives are mostly British netizens.Eddie's poisonous mouth comments are the hardest hit. He has been complained about from freckles to hair to acting skills to behavior.

The two stopped to laugh at each other from time to time, and after saying goodbye to the reporter, they still had something to say.At least Jennifer couldn't help repeating some of the great comments, and Eddie was fine with that.

"It's called sarcasm," he said solemnly. "When the British make sarcasm, it doesn't mean they don't like it. We're even better at self-deprecation than sarcasm. But never mind, I can't count on a American Beauty understands the allure of sarcasm."

"Of course I can't." Jennifer said "sarcastically". "Thanks to the community college, I only experienced the level of literature education in Princeton a few days ago, but today the level of psychological education in Cambridge has opened my eyes again. Your narcissism The level is really high, Eddie, almost catching up with Mr. Jude Law, the heartthrob of England."

"How dare you!" Eddie clutched his chest in pain, "Jude Law is the jewel in the crown, the treasure of the world, I will never allow you to deny his hotness!"

Jennifer: "..."

Eddie stomped his feet hard and said in a very affected tone, "If I looked like that, I'd look in the mirror ten times a day and ask myself why I'm so handsome!"

Jennifer: "..."

Until the beginning of the movie, she was still immersed in this stomping and couldn't extricate herself.

***

"My Week With Monroe" tells the story of Monroe's week in the filming of "You Long Xi Feng", and when she was troubled by everything, Eddie played the director's assistant who was fascinated by her like any ordinary man. Haunted by dreams, gradually come into contact with the reality under the appearance.

The film tells the story of this young man from a third-party perspective, tells the story of a week's short-lived feelings, and also depicts Monroe in the eyes of others.

It starts from the dreamlike piano piece and ends with the dreamlike piano piece, as if the beautiful woman gradually appeared in front of the audience and then gradually left.

After the screening, there was prolonged applause in the audience.

Jennifer, who was sitting in the first row, was relieved, and the main creative team dispersed to chat with film critics.

Among these people, the more famous ones attended the film screening before the premiere of the film, and most of them gave positive comments. Now they have come forward to congratulate the success of the main creative team.The audience who watched it for the first time also echoed, and few of them showed bad looks.

But Jennifer knows that it is better to rely on the mouth of film critics than to expect pigs to fly.

The golden sign of film critics is their venomous tongue, the more venomous their tongues, the more people will support them. No matter how fresh a movie is on Rotten Tomatoes, there will always be discordant notes in the reviews.

Worse still are those movies that are inherently flawed, they are often bombarded from all directions, and they are damaged all over without swearing.

The worst thing is the failure of a good work.

Among the movies with a freshness of more than 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, there are so few movies, the whole movie is blown to the sky, and a few actors are trampled to the ground.

"Lack of inspiration" and "dumb performance" are still light, and some film critics even said that "the casting director may have drunk a few glasses of whiskey at that time", "I don't know why the door of Hollywood is open for him".

Jennifer just hoped they would show mercy to her.

Don't ask to praise the sky, but please don't step on the center of the earth.

After the premiere, the main creative team and the media had a small question-and-answer session, and then set off for the celebration party.

Jennifer didn't stay long, just made a symbolic appearance and had a few drinks.

The bar that Eddie and she entered, almost left.

They looked ahead to the future of the movie and talked about more personal topics that were not convenient at Lincoln Center.

Take Eddie's collaboration with Catherine Bigelow, for example.

"Catherine is...serious," Mr. Redmayne remarked.He showed a look of fear, which shows that he was trained very hard by the female director.

Bigelow can only ask too much of a good actor, and Eddie is certainly a good actor, and he has more energy than most male actors, which can't be compensated by skill.

"She is also very strict with me." Jennifer reassured him.

They stood on the air vent by the window with their wine glasses in hand.

"I'm still thinking about drinking and talking about how I was scolded next time we work together." Eddie shrugged, "I took Les Miserables, and by the way, you know who else would Got it? Hugh Jackman. You can start crying now, Jenny."

"Hugh Jackman?" Jennifer couldn't help cursing, "Hugh Jackman picked up Les Miserables? He really did? I think I'm going to have to drink a few more, why do I always miss such good things? "

"Because you're busy killing camels in the field, so you don't have a schedule, do you?" Eddie gloated, "Every time I watch your show, I think about how scared Hunger Games casting directors are. "

"How do you know I don't have a schedule?" Jennifer snorted coldly, "Gordon told you? I knew it was her. Gordon has always favored you, and hinted at everything to you, and let you take any good role.

Nina Gold is a famous casting director, she can always find gold in the sand, and put the most suitable person in the most suitable position.

The director once said in an interview that he had been paying attention to Eddie for many years, and firmly believed that he was a real gem that would eventually shine brightly.

Eddie couldn't refute. He also regarded the director as a noble person and a mentor, so he could only change the topic: "I don't know if there will be any chance to cooperate in the future. It's a pity."

"There will always be." Jennifer reassured him, "How many potential Hollywood productions can there be in a year? Except for those dark horses that you can't imagine, most of the films have a basic score when they are approved, and they are also aimed at fixed actors. group."

In addition to the unique requirements of individual teams and individual directors, the scripts of the protagonists of most major productions will tend to send A coffee first.No one will send a book with a strong team directly to the desk of the b cafe.

In Hollywood, the script is everything, and some actors and girlfriends will fight each other for the script, which is nothing new.

"Fixed actor group?" Eddie stabbed her, "And said I'm narcissistic!"

"No," Jennifer replied pretendingly, "I look in the mirror twelve times a day, and I can't believe there are such beautiful people in the world. If I hadn't been beautiful since I was a child, Ricky Gervais might have been in Kim They teased me about plastic surgery at the ball awards ceremony."

Eddie was about to puke, and they both laughed.

After a while, the laughter gradually stopped.

"You look good." Suddenly, Eddie said, "You look better than ever. People like us are used to pretending in front of the camera and outsiders, and we can't even misplace half of our eyelashes. I'm very happy." I'm afraid you'll keep your depression in your heart."

Jennifer was taken aback.

His tone gradually became serious: "I used to feel far away from you, Jenny, I know you have a lot of things on your mind, and I really want to help you, but I don't know where to start. Standing on the sidelines is not the way to be friends, but every time I want to be a good friend, and you're always farther away from me."

This... There is really no way to refute it, and there is no way to tell the truth.

"I'm sorry." Jennifer said sincerely.

"But you're fine now," Eddie repeated, "Just tell me you don't remember like today? It never happened before. You'll have a hundred perfect excuses and coping, changing the subject , gagging, at least I will not remember what happened until I go home alone."

Jennifer sighed.

She knew he was telling the truth, but he looked too serious, not like the usual lively big boy who liked to tell jokes (though some were not funny at all), and she really didn't like seeing men silent .

"Thank you, Eddie, you are a true friend." She said frankly, "I used to have some troubles, but now a lot of them have disappeared, and you and Leo don't need to worry."

"I'm the only one who can say that I'm worried. DiCaprio has no right to look down on Wayne at this point, the female killer." Eddie grimaced, "But, well, well, we as friends Minds don't change."

There was warmth in his eyes.

"Like I once said, you'll always have my back."

this kid...

Jennifer was somewhat moved.

She pushed him on the shoulder, pretending to be disgusted: "I know, I know. Shut up, you are not Oprah. Your words make me feel like I am on the Oprah show, and Oprah is sitting opposite , is pouring chicken soup for my soul."

Mr. Redmayne was immediately amused.He asked relaxedly, "So you and Wayne are really all right?"

"It can't be considered completely fine." Jennifer said after thinking about it.

Eddie frowned at first, staring at her closely, then his expression changed.He began to back away while shaking his head in disbelief, his mouth slightly opened, his fingers erect in front of him vigilantly, and he shouted loudly:

"nononononono—"

Jennifer smiled at him.

"—I recognize this expression, I know what it means, I don't want to hear the next words, don't play me, Davis!"

"How can it be okay? I just told him today that you are my little lover." Jennifer pursed her lips and smiled, "In fact, I also told my agent that you are my little lover, have you seen that? ? She was talking to Josh, what do you think she's going to say to your agent?"

"Oh!" Eddie covered his face in grief.

"Big surprise, Bruce's butler was also there."

"That very British butler?"

"Yeah," Jennifer said triumphantly, "what can I say, after all, I'm an American, I only know how to make love, how can I understand the charm of sarcasm."

Eddie lowered his hands with a sort of mournful numbness.

"I declare that my unconditional support for you ends today."

So said Mr. Redmayne.
