unofficial hollywood life

The film "Love in New York" has been tossing since the middle of last year, with many twists and turns. After a series of incidents with actors and directors, it finally pushed the progress bar to the release stage on the eve of Valentine's Day.

"There are so many people." After getting out of the car, Diana leaned on Mr. Cruise and looked around.

Looking around, there are also huge crowds of movie fans around, not much worse than the later premiere.

It’s just that the premieres of decades later usually start before dark, with not only fans but also various celebrations and ceremonies, but now most of them are held at night, and there are not as many tricks as later.But even so, with enough fans screaming and a bunch of reporters' cameras and cameras, the scene was very lively.

"Ahhhhh—Judy!"

"Mel!"

Screams sounded on both sides of the guardrail one after another, and enthusiastic fans shouted hoarsely, the purpose was to let their idols take a look at them.Not only were they yelling, but they were waving posters of movies starring Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster in their hands, trying to get the two big stars who passed by them to sign their names.

"It's normal. Mel has been at the peak of his career in the past two years. Judy won the Oscar two years ago. Both of them have great influence." Tom looked at a bunch of stars on the red carpet Ladies, I feel that I should not join in the fun.

After all, his identity today is the family of the screenwriter~

"By the way, there is one more thing you may not know. On February 2th, another Judy movie will be released. Touchstone should have greeted Orion, and the two parties have joined forces to hype the movie and boost the movie box office. "Speaking of Jodie Foster, Tom remembered one more thing.

Another film starring the queen actress, the thriller "The Silence of the Lambs" will be released on Valentine's Day after a long post-production, and the emotional film "New York Love" is only too early. It's only been a week.In view of the different audiences of the two, it is likely that some kind of deal was reached secretly. During this period of time, the two sides have a very tacit understanding of promoting Judy as the main means of filming.

""The Silence of the Lambs"?" Diana was startled, this movie was released on Valentine's Day?

Is the issuer out of their minds?Playing such a murderous movie on such a sweet festival?

The promised October schedule belongs to thriller and horror movies?

Then he realized that the current schedule is not as clear as it was later divided. A movie with a good reputation is usually released for half a year, and the requirements for the schedule are indeed not so strong.

"Orion encountered financial difficulties. The film was supposed to be released last year, but it has not been released until now due to the later stage and financial difficulties. Jonathan Demme won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival before. It should be on sale. I got something from the film meeting." Seeing Diana surprised, Tom explained to her, "Although the previous "Dances with Wolves" did well, the copyright was pre-sold in Europe, even if it was earned later in Europe. No matter how much it is, it has nothing to do with Orion, so they can only put their hopes on "The Silence of the Lambs", hoping that this movie can be sold at a better price and ease the financial pressure."

After Reagan's laissez-faire economic policy began to be implemented, the original Paramount Act actually existed in name only, and many studios have refocused on theaters, because it is indeed more beneficial to have their own theaters. One thing can maximize the benefits of film screenings.

Orion Company also thinks so, but this company does not have the strong financial resources of those big studios, and several large-invested films have not received the expected returns, so the funding chain has gradually begun to break.In this case, it is not surprising to join forces with Disney subsidiary Touchstone Pictures to hype together.

Maybe Jodie Foster's agent is behind it.

The film "Love in New York" can neither hype the relationship between the male and female protagonists, and the crew itself has no hot spots. One of the screenwriters is Tom Cruise's girlfriend, but don't you know what the screenwriter's position is in the crew?What's the hype?

Not to mention "The Silence of the Lambs", a thriller, if you want to pull the audience into the cinema to watch a thriller on Valentine's Day, you can't do it just by relying on the acting skills of the actors, there must be something Something that grabs the viewer's attention.And the relationship between the male and female protagonists... is like a copy of Mel and Judy in "New York Love". Anthony Hopkins has been married for almost 20 years. Even if Judy is not a closet, she can be with this What did you come up with?It's not Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas, the actress really has no interest in old men.

So you can't stir up scandals, so let's stir up other things.But Mr. Gibson basically has no room for hype. It can't be said that he is going to hit the Oscars with this film, right?When the time comes, everyone will know what's going on when they see the finished film, aren't they afraid of being ridiculed to death?Not to mention Anthony Hopkins, this is an Englishman and an old man, who cares about him?In this case, you can only push the actress, so the rumors of Jodie Foster's second hit Oscar came out. As for whether it is "Love in New York" or "The Silence of the Lambs" that can make her Given this throne, it is up to the audience to enter the cinema to judge.

"It's so complicated..." After listening to all the inside stories Tom said, Diana felt a burst of brain pain.

She thought about her future career. If she aims to be a producer, this kind of situation is inevitable. Does she have to rack her brains to think of ways to hype?

"Hey, Tom!" Before she could figure it out, a voice came from behind the two of them.

Looking back, I don't know him!

But the microphone in the opponent's hand and the cameraman behind him have already identified him.

"Are you here to support your girlfriend today?" The reporter put the microphone in front of Mr. Cruise and asked.

Of course, he can ask the other party if he came to support his friend. Hollywood is so small, it's not uncommon for several big stars to be friends, but how can there be any gimmick in the news of supporting his girlfriend?

The interviewer turned his attention to Diana, and motioned the photographer behind his back to take more shots of the lady.This kind of extreme beauty, standing next to Tom Cruise is simply blinding the eyes of the people around her, completely refusing to survive!

Although these two people have been photographed several times before, most of the photos taken are relatively normal, holding hands is the maximum.And some time ago, these two people suddenly didn't have the same framed photo. Everyone can only take pictures of Tom going to and from various training classes by himself. They are all guessing whether they broke up, so that Tom is depressed?

It's rare to see these two people in the same frame today, you must pat them!

Photographer: "..."

I don't need you to hint me!

By the way, haven't you noticed that these two are really stuck together?How to shoot alone?

Looking at Tom and Diana holding hands, the photographer felt a little speechless, knowing that you two are in love, but can you stop showing off in front of single dogs?They are about to become conjoined twins, aren't they tired of crooked?

But there is no way, even if the heart is sour, the photographer still devoted himself to keeping the couple who looked like maltose in the lens.Do you want to throw away the opportunity if you have money?

So the photographer not only shoots, but also picks out the highlights.

For example, Mr. Cruise's mouth that is almost grinning to the ear and the white teeth shining infinitely under the light, and Diana, who is looking at him with sparkling eyes, and the corners of her mouth are almost close to each other. Tired of sweet smile.

Not counting the faces being photographed, the photographer directly focused the camera on the hands of the two people who were holding each other tightly, and the shoulder-to-shoulder shoulders that had no gaps at all and wished they could become one person. Forcibly feeding dog food to the American people?

Thinking that I am still a single dog, and Valentine's Day will be in a few days, the photographer feels sad, can't I give him a way to survive?Did you know that eating too much sugar can kill you?

The wandering photographer Mr. is mechanically operating the camera, and Tom's question with the reporter over there has reached his new film.

"I heard that your new movie is in preparation, can you tell me some news Tom?" The reporter asked with a microphone.

Compared with Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster, it is obvious that this is the character readers like to see!

"There will be a press conference at that time." Speaking of this, Tom was not as excited as when he praised his girlfriend just now, and calmed down a lot.

It's someone else's film premiere, and it's not a good idea to discuss his film, which won't be out until next year.

"And what about Diana? Do you have a new work plan?" Seeing that Tom couldn't open the gap, the reporter turned his attention to this sweet smiling girl.

She seemed much easier to handle.

"That depends on Judy and Mel's plans. As long as they need it, I have a new work plan at any time." However, Miss Morgan is not a fool.

She is just a screenwriter, who would pay attention to people in this profession except the insiders?This reporter obviously wants to make trouble with the news of Tom Cruise's girlfriend's new plans!So she simply kicked the ball at Judy and Mel, wanting to know her new plan?Okay, go ask the hero and heroine, a sequel will pop up for you every minute, believe it or not?

Sure enough, celebrity girlfriends are not cheap!

The reporter holding the microphone complained in his heart, feeling that today's luck is really not very good, unexpectedly meeting such a couple who are not easy to talk about.

However, no one cares about his mood, everyone pays attention to the stars.The situation where he brought the photographer with the microphone was quickly noticed, and then the fans also noticed the two people in the corner here, and they all started screaming.

"Tom—"

It can only be said that Mr. Cruise really deserves to be another star after Marilyn Monroe who can be enjoyed by all ages. Many fans shouting his name on both sides of the guardrail are tall and strong men, and the proportion is quite high.

Then Mr. Reporter saw Tom raised his hand and waved, and the fans cheered even louder.

Mel, who was busy signing autographs for fans, looked up and saw this American sweetheart and his annoying girlfriend. With a slip of his hand, the names signed out were a bit weird.

Forget it, don't know the same as this chick.

After Mel complained about the girl who didn't get along with him in her heart, she waved at Tom, causing another scream.

"Let's forget about the signature. Today is not my home game. This kind of behavior is not good." In this regard, Mr. Cruise is still very emotional, and he will not do such things that overwhelm the host.

He has an ordinary relationship with Mel, but he has a good relationship with Judy. No matter which one he doesn't want to do anything with their movies, so he simply rejected this kind of behavior.He has so many red carpets of his own, there is no need to rub off on other people's, it is enough to take a few photos to build momentum for the movie, why is the screenwriter's family members joining in the fun?

But among the fans on both sides, apart from fans of Judy and Mel and some people who joined in the fun, there were actually a few true fans of Mr. Cruise.

"...does it look good?" One of the tall boys said to his companion, looking at Tom and Diana not far away.

There was some uncertainty in his tone.

The girl standing next to Tom looks much prettier than in the newspapers, and instantly killed all the exes of this big star, making my idol the most handsome, you fans who are ordinary women, go away Can't fault her appearance.

"Why don't you become a star when you're so pretty?" The girl next to him also complained.

It's not that she really wants her idol's girlfriend to be a star, that's right. When Tom's love affair was exposed, everyone complained about how ugly this girlfriend must be to become a screenwriter?Considering the appearance of Mimi Rogers at the beginning, everyone felt that Mr. Cruise's eyes were a bit blind, at least not so discerning.

The photos that were exposed in the newspapers later wiped away Diana's reputation as an ugly girl, but I don't know if this girl is too unphotogenic, she is obviously not as good-looking as a real person in the photos!This Ms. Morgan could be called the lightbulb of the night!

Even Jodie Foster, who was walking on the red carpet, should be thankful that the other party did not stand with her to steal the limelight, otherwise, how sad would it be?

"It's good not to be an actor. At least a screenwriter doesn't have much room to use Tom to hype. If it's an actor, I can almost imagine the situation where she and Tom are tied together in a movie. Don't forget the previous Nicole Kidd Man!" The students who came in a group thought it was good.

Nicole Kidman, who was hyping up Tom's new girlfriend before, is an actor. Didn't you see how uncp-feeling the two of them were in "Thunder Ambition" between her and Tom?Thinking that if these two people become a couple, with Tom's personality, he will definitely pull his girlfriend to act as a couple together, and he feels his legs trembling.

To be honest, it's not as good as Tom being single in the movie!It's really scary to play this kind of thing awkwardly. As long as the separate shots are taken, everyone is handsome and beautiful. Why do people feel so wrong when they get together?

"Hey, I'm standing for Diana Morgan. Anyway, she looks pretty, enough to catch the eye." The boy who started talking made his position clear.

"It's like if you don't stand up to Diana Morgan, the two of them are not a couple. Please open your eyes and see, they are already hugging each other!" The girl next to her continued her complaint route without changing, directly spray her companion.

Diana in the distance was leaning into Tom's ear and saying something, while their idol wrapped her arms around her waist, and the two of them were about to stick to each other tightly!

"It's so nasty!" Can you stop being so sticky in public?It will deal a heavy blow to those who have just broken up in love!

"Hehe." The girl in charge didn't bother to talk to these guys. A group of nerds said that their couples are disgusting. Is it because they can't find a girlfriend?

Forget it, these guys are weird enough, a group of nerds actually love big stars like Tom Cruise, shouldn't they love the elegant school like Dustin Hoffman?Or is it that extremes must be reversed?Or is Hoffman too old to keep up with these young men?The red-haired girl was thinking wildly in her mind, deeply feeling that these companions were unreliable.

The small thoughts among these fans did not affect the premiere.

Soon, Judy and Mel had reached the end of the red carpet, entered the interview area, and joined Tom and Diana smoothly.

"You are so beautiful tonight." Judy took the lead in giving Diana a hug.

It was the first time she had seen this girl put on makeup, and sure enough, her face was even more eye-catching after putting on makeup.

Mel, who was standing next to him, didn't know why he suddenly felt cold all over, and had a very bad feeling.

Although my friend didn't say anything about his sexual orientation, he still felt it vaguely, so is this the most important reason why she always speaks for that chick?

All of a sudden, Mel felt various feelings in his heart. He didn't know how to describe his complicated mood. Will friendship become fragile in front of love?His heart felt a little sour.

But even if his heart turned into a vat of vinegar, it would have no effect on the two ladies in front of him.

"I heard that your role in the scene has greatly increased?" After avoiding Mel, Diana whispered to Judy quietly.

As if he didn't see Mel's complicated expression, he ignored him after saying hello.

"It was done during editing." Judy also said very quietly.

There is really no way to say this kind of thing in front of friends. I came here to help, who knew it would end up like this?It wasn't surprising that Diana would know the news. No matter how marginalized, the other party was called a producer. As long as she wanted to know, nothing was a secret to her.

Let alone Diana, didn't even Mel himself know about this?It's just that he's just an actor, and he doesn't have any final editing rights, so he can't do anything about it.

"To put it bluntly, his current influence is not enough. An actor with the status of Dustin Hoffman or Al Pacino is about the same." Kevin Howian said to Diana.

The two brought up the issue while discussing their next script together.

There are not no actors in Hollywood who can make the crew change the script, but with Mel Gibson's current status, he still can't achieve this kind of achievement.

"From the current point of view, he is just a pawn, unless he can reach a higher level." Mr. Manager hit the nail on the head, "But this is also good for us, at least it is easier to reach a cooperation with him under this situation .”

It doesn't matter if the director is not good enough, isn't there still the position of assistant director?In how many projects, the director disagreed with the producer due to various reasons, and the assistant director came to top the tank in the end?Leaving aside Mel Gibson's personal talent as a director, what they need is the name of this big star's transformation work. This alone can attract many of his fans into the cinema. The rest, Finding a few capable assistant directors is no problem at all!

As a very capable and skilled agent, Kevin is also very upset about the fact that his project has been cut off. This is related to his rising status within the company. Kevin feels that I am not that big-hearted!

"Both Arnold and Gary think that the heroine of this movie is more important..." Judy said quietly.

Both the director and the producer think so, what room does the actor have to refute?Not to mention the touchstone aspect, artistic quality is second to commercial quality for film companies, and it would be great if another "Pretty Woman" can be made.Therefore, the staff sent by the company are completely on the side of the producer and director in this respect.

And they didn't drastically reduce the role of the male lead, but increased the weight of the female lead in post-editing, just like "Pretty Woman", it's really not a prank on Mr. Gibson.

Routine business operations only.

"...Let's not talk about this, let's go in and watch a movie." Judy's always energetic face was a little haggard.

Hitting yourself or something, really fucked up!

The only thing to be thankful for is that the themes of the two films are different, otherwise, even if her heart is made of steel, she would have to cry now.

The goddamn producer center!Judy cursed in her heart, vowing that she would be a director who could do whatever she wanted in the future, the kind who also served as a producer, and would no longer be oppressed by these people!
