Hollywood Domination Chapter 285: It’s so beautiful

"It's so beautiful!" When the car driven by Colin drove forward from the road in front of the theater, the camera gradually zoomed out, overlooking the whole town, and when it transitioned from the town to the verdant and green pastoral scenery, in the All over the world, many viewers expressed their emotion at the same time, "The picture of this movie is really beautiful."

Of course, the same praise for the beautiful picture, the audience also have their own focus, the "Zhen Baobao" who is watching this movie in the ume cinema in Beijing, is not talking about the scenery in Salvi's lens at all , he was still immersed in Monroe's opening song and dance just now, "It's so beautiful, it's exactly the same as in the trailer, and even more beautiful than in the trailer. After all, the trailer is just a few glimpses, and here There is a long song and dance - j.j has never been so beautiful in my impression, that kind of feeling of being reborn... I hope the download will be available online soon, I will definitely watch this part many times - it would be nice to take some screenshots of some wallpapers! "

Like all fans and audiences, Zhen Baobao’s first movie was also spent in amazement. At that time, he didn’t have the heart to pay attention to the reactions of the people around him. He was even a little confused about what the story said. It was blurry, the whole memory seemed to be shrouded in shining clouds, only Jenny's frowns and smiles were so clear. And after the midnight show more than ten hours ago, he just woke up and came to the cinema again, bought a ticket, and started the second brush trip on the first day, this time he was in the mood to pay a little attention to his surroundings The audience's reaction - similar to him, when Jennifer made her first appearance in the movie, when she turned around, many of the audience made soft gasps, exclamations, and even clicks, even The obnoxious audience who had been fumbling for the bag of potato chips just now fell silent, and the audience has finally recovered from this. There was a slight buzzing sound in the cinema, and Baby Zhen heard many people asking, "What's the name of this actress? Jennifer Jefferson? Has she been to China before?"

It seems that his feeling is not wrong, Zhen Baobao nodded to himself: he felt it when he bought the midnight show ticket before, Jenny's popularity and recognition in China seem to be on the rise, if we say If the previous "Pirates" series made her well-recognized among those fashion audiences who often watch movies, then she participated in the torch relay and showed her face at the opening ceremony, including the act of going to the women's gymnastics team final to show her presence , has allowed her to walk into thousands of households invisibly, and be known by those who are not so sensitive to fashion. She also subtly accepted her status as "a big star who is very friendly to China and is also very good at the same time".

In the past six months, the number of Tieba members has doubled, and midnight tickets have become difficult to buy. Movie tickets that used to be booked with a phone call now have to come and queue up. Zhenbao used to buy Even though it is Christmas afternoon, there is no holiday in China, and the afternoon show is full of seats. This kind of attendance must be very rare in China, including some major directors. Movies do not have this honor, Jenny Although the box office results of Fer's previous films were not bad, they are not comparable to today's scene. Zhen Baobao really intuitively realized that Jennifer's popularity has risen.

"The relationship is also very strong. Beijing really didn't come in vain. It seems that there are not many blockbusters synchronized this year. This may be the third or the third..." While watching the camera pass by the country road, Entering a majestic castle, Zhenbao thought a little distractedly, "Even a movie with a sensitive subject like "Twilight" can be synchronized. Big Dream is really powerful enough. On the ground, it feels like Disney, the parent company, has to smile at them. However, I don’t know if it’s her credit or Cesare Vigeri, the manager’s ability. Those reports said that he It's amazing, saying that losing him is caa's loss... It feels like he is the one who really counts his words. Jenny is completely controlled by him and can't make decisions about anything. Even the company seems to be managed by him. Jenny just acts."

I like to think of idols a little bit badly, which is probably a common problem of all fans. Although this is just a wild guess, Zhen Baobao's heart still twitches, as if she really started to get emotional because of Jennifer. However, when Colin walked into the castle, his mind was naturally attracted by the dignity and elegance inadvertently brought out in the camera: "Colin's family is indeed rich, hey, he and Monroe It is indeed too different..."

"The picture is so beautiful..." When Zhen Baobao was dreaming, in the theater in Los Angeles, Alan once again felt emotional, "Salvi's aesthetic talent is too amazing, this guy has created A miracle - he's a genius! He and Jennifer are a match made in heaven!"

Maybe for many laymen, film critics are obsessed with the superficial beauty of the film, which is not deep enough. They feel that film critics should focus on the core of the film, but in fact, film critics often play a The role of an evaluator, for example, for an action movie, in addition to the plot, ideas, and techniques, they must also evaluate the martial arts design, including the performance of the actors in the fight, etc. And aesthetics is a very important item among these basic skills. Whether you can make some ordinary things attractive on the screen is the key to whether a movie is good or not, and it can even be said to be a good movie. Cornerstone.

—Of course, this kind of beauty is not superficially looking for some handsome men and beauties and taking pictures of some beautiful scenery. Even if the director arranged for an old man with gray hair and ragged clothes to beg, as long as the arc of the old man’s back is aesthetically pleasing, and the light and shadow are handled well so that the entire composition follows the principle of the golden section, the audience will still be unable to take their eyes off , they will still feel that they have absorbed some information, pleasure, inspiration, and depth from this kind of shot... In a word, they will feel that this shot is worth seeing, and they didn't waste these few seconds in vain , the movie is exciting in those few seconds just now, not dull and boring.

For action movies, because there is a plot and constant stimulation points, some excessive shots can be handled relatively flat, without paying attention to the aesthetic feeling, but art movies are different. Many art movies have their own plots. It's very loose, and it's all about serving ideas. In order to attract the audience's attention, the shots are particularly beautiful, carefully creating the impact of the picture, the contrast between light and dark, and even telling the story through the color itself. Some capable directors, You give him an actor, a table of food, and nothing else, and he can shoot you a 90-minute eating scene. You may still enjoy watching it, and even think that these dishes are very delicious, or these food eaters The action is particularly engaging, and I don't feel like I wasted 90 minutes of my time. And Alan himself believes that Salvi's talent in this point is very amazing. He is worthy of being a director of art documentaries. The reason is that the aesthetic stimulation it gives people is very positive, that is to say, in this film, 'pretty' and 'beauty' have been combined together.

The director's camera scheduling is beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, and the beautiful scenery is shown by the aesthetic lens, which is shocking and attracts people strongly. It feels more enjoyable than watching the visual spectacle in many special effects movies. Just like the transitional scene just now, Colin just drove the car into his home, a 2-minute drive, with his self-introduction, 'I live in an excellent family, my father is a world-renowned art historian ...', but the audience found it particularly pleasing to the eye and wished that Colin would keep talking. Under the stimulation of this strong aesthetic feeling, Colin's narration seemed to become interesting, and he talked with his father and his father in the study The same is true for the student dialogue scene. The beauty of the scene, the young and handsome actors, and the beauty of the director's composition and lens language combine to make Colin's acting skills even very attractive, and his every move is so There is style, this kind of style is exaggerated, shrouded in a halo, people can't wait to watch it again and again, and even say that these pictures are captured and appreciated repeatedly.

As for Monroe, needless to say, Jennifer Jefferson was originally a very beautiful girl. In Salvi's lens, she is simply stunning. She herself is completely devoted to the role , and another breakthrough in acting skills, combined with her extremely superior appearance conditions, and Salvi's genius camera scheduling on her that day, combined with music and the original video, supplemented camera slanting, montage and back profile, The close-up of the facial expression, this combination of "beautiful" and "beautiful" made her appearance extremely shocking, and the positive stimulation was achieved to the extreme. The audience no longer felt with great interest: "Ah, This not-so-pleasant shot is actually quite beautiful, and people can’t move their eyes away, as if there is a kind of magical power’, but he was dumbfounded and thought, “Ah! How can there be such a beautiful person in this world? It’s simply unbelievable , but I don’t need to think about it now—I’m going to take a few more glances now.”

To some extent, this may even interfere with the success of "Monroe" itself in film history, and even interfere with the careers of Salvi and Jennifer, because many film critics One might be blinded by the positive stimulus and think lightly that the film is just about having a beautiful woman and shooting some beautiful scenery and making the audience think, 'oh, that's beautiful', and that's all there is to it ——The crew didn't seem to pay attention to other bugs, connotations, etc., otherwise they would definitely leave an impression, so they wouldn't have no idea at all. If there is anything special to say, it is at most that the director and the beauty got together when they were filming, so the director made it very beautiful. Under such strong stimulation, the audience may indeed ignore a lot of hidden information, as well as the technical content of these shooting techniques——

If it wasn't for "Monroe" getting to Venice, if it wasn't for that, the previews would find these old guys who have a good relationship with j.j. Review this movie carefully - if it weren't for these old guys and Jennifer's relationship has been very good, the critics can not ignore their opinions, "Monroe" may really be buried, a great movie will be reviewed The world and the award ceremony ignore it, of course it will still become Jennifer's masterpiece, but this film will simply reflect the actor's peerless youth, everyone will watch it to see the beauty, the real bosom friend may There are very few, and even if there are, it will not form a wave of mainstream public opinion, and the director and actors may feel lost and lonely because of this. ——Actually, such things are not uncommon. Every year there are so few unlucky movies that are not at the right time, and "Monroe" may be one of them.

Of course, everything has its pros and cons. After watching the movie, Alan was very optimistic about the box office. may have already won the box office bet), he believes that no matter how well-received "Monroe" is from film critics and how many awards it wins, its box office and public reputation must be crazy strong. This is also because the film is unexpectedly beautiful, and this is very much in line with the public's appetite: unlike film critics who want to see some deep and thoughtful movies, what audiences want to see is definitely something light-hearted and does not require For them, too many Oscar-winning films are too profound and boring. In fact, it is not incomprehensible for them to watch them, but many people are unwilling to pay the cost. It is because I want to understand the emotion after watching a literary film, and because I am too lazy to find the motivation to watch it from the superficial lack of aesthetic feeling of the film. The degree of completion in deep thought is particularly high, but because it is difficult to take care of it—or it is affected by some bad habits in the circle of critics and literary film directors, it abandons the superficial aesthetic feeling, and even proudly gives negative stimulation , which lost a large number of potential audiences, so that they could only fail at the box office in the end.

At this point, "Monroe" does a particularly good job. This kind of positive stimulation that is almost flooding will keep the audience's attention until the end, and will make the most superficial audience get a strong view. The joy of filming is like this paragraph, which tells the antecedents of the filming of "You Long Xi Feng" from Colin's point of view, as well as the details of Marilyn's arrival in London, her superstar demeanor, in fact, the plot may not say anything. Another director will make you feel very boring, but in Salvi’s superb shots, Colin’s dress, hairstyle, including office furnishings, and the scenery outside the office, all make people feel very beautiful, and the audience’s attention The power will not be slack, but will be kept in the palm of the director's palm all the time, and he will enter the state he needs: start to wonder what kind of person Marilyn would be in real life, including how the interaction between Colin and her should happen, after all, This is "My Week With Monroe", and most viewers can still guess that something is definitely going to happen to Colin and Marilyn.

In the constant dialogue and camera scheduling, everything seems to be fast-forwarded, and the audience must pay full attention to understand the background knowledge explained by the director: Marilyn Monroe is now red and purple. With her name, picky homeowners will change their faces in an instant, scrambling to rent their houses to her. Of course, the reporters must be crazy about her, and even Sir Laurence Oliver, a celebrity with a high artistic status He is also very concerned about Marilyn's daily life, and wants to take good care of her, not to mention how much the British studio has a headache for the arrogant Americans around Marilyn. Marilyn's requests are always weird, she seems to be a little nervous, she needs to be quiet and not distracted, she has an acting teacher from Russia with her, and this makes the expressionist Oliver very unhappy - Kenneth Bulla Na's acting skills are really proficient. As a master of contemporary expressionism, he subtly uses his body language and tone of conversation, making this look personable, but in fact he is a bit vain and conceited. Full of desire to control, even not so respectful to Marilyn, the great director and talented man who is arrogant to the bone expresses it vividly under the gentlemanly demeanor. Although there are not many scenes, the message is conveyed so well and effectively that even the dullest viewer can understand what Lawrence is thinking now and start to worry about the conflict that Lawrence and Marilyn may break out later.

"If Jennifer's performance is full of incredible aura, then Kenneth's performance is full of well-thought-out scientific charm..." Alan also shook his head with some emotion, "As the first story As far as the film is concerned, the actor resources in Salvi's hands are almost a bit extravagant, I really don't know where Jennifer's courage is, she is willing to create such a luxurious cast for him..."

Getting out of the movie-watching mood, he took the time to look at the audience's reaction: After ten o'clock, many people will start to feel sleepy. If it is an ordinary art film, the midnight box office is usually very dismal, because It is difficult for people to maintain attention for a long time after ten o'clock in the evening. And so far, the movie doesn’t actually have too many conflicts. The movie’s signature Marilyn has only shown one side up to now, and disappeared after singing a song, but the audience’s attention has always been very focused. The movie theater was tensely silent, and there were no boring sighs, yawns, or chattering sounds at all. Alan could feel that every audience member had their eyes wide open, looking at the screen with rapt attention, completely immersed in the In the story, it is estimated that most of them began to look forward to the appearance of the real Marilyn.

"It seems that my prediction is correct. The box office and audience reputation will definitely create a miracle..." Alan nodded silently. 'Watching for two hours, he doesn't feel bored, painful or depressed for a minute. On the contrary, he may feel comfortable watching every minute. Although he can't tell what he watched, this intuitive feeling will also let him High marks for the film, not to mention audiences with some depth and pursuit, this film will be a masterpiece for them-even if they are disturbed by the aesthetic feeling and do not appreciate the deep things, they will not feel This movie is bad, after all, everyone likes the positive stimulation of shallow needs, and it's not likely to happen, and the review environment is too favorable for Jennifer, and senior movie fans will definitely watch several more It is impossible to miss its connotation.”

After a brief distraction, when the film was about 12 minutes into the film, the foreshadowing finally ended, and the camera came to the airport, with chaotic shutter sounds and human voices mixed together, 'now the situation is completely out of control, everyone wants to To take pictures of Marilyn at the first time'——

As the gangway slowly opened, the audience in the theater seemed to take a deep breath at the same time, and Alan retracted his thoughts in time. Just like the moment before the roller coaster dives down, his body has already begun to prepare for the anticipated exciting experience-so, he will deliberately withdraw from the film just now to prepare, so as not to be too involved and be affected. The impact is too great, but it is not easy to appreciate some more essential things.

The gangway truck slowly approached the open hatch, and the crowd was crowded and screaming almost meaningless words. Here, Salvi chose bright colors with high contrast. Under the blue sky, scattered crowds, airplanes , forming a very harmonious visual effect, which even feels like an oil painting. Alan nodded appreciatively again—however, he was only half-hearted, because...

"Oh my god! It's really—this is really—" Unlike Alan and Zhenbao, Jon, who was really seeing the movie for the first time, was completely speechless. After watching Monroe's opening song and dance, for a full ten minutes, she has been reminiscing about that wonderful and beautiful appearance, Jennifer, Monroe...no matter who she is—that kind of beauty, that kind of It seemed that she didn't belong to the world, and even had a dreamy and illusory beautiful temperament, like a powerful slap, which made her unable to recover from her senses, and when she spent a full ten minutes, she finally found herself and started When keeping up with the plot...

"Marilyn!"

"Look here, look here!"

According to the enthusiastic yelling of reporters and the loud sound of taking pictures, Marilyn, wearing a white suit and sunglasses, walked out of the cabin door with her head bowed while holding a bouquet of flowers. Her short blond hair trembled slightly, which was one of the characteristics of the 1960s: the use of a lot of pomade made the hair not easily deformed - she looked at the crowd under the stairs, as if a little surprised, but also a little happy, like It was a child who was suddenly praised by a group of adults, which made her very happy, but at the same time, she didn't know what to do.

Jennifer conveyed all this complicated information perfectly with a slightly raised lip movement, which should be a very cool thing, but Jon is now not caring about admiring the idol's superb strength, or the movie itself Paying attention to details, she stared at the blonde girl in the camera, and felt reluctant to blink: she was so—so—so—

It seems that it is impolite to wear sunglasses. The young girl raised her fair left hand, tapped her fingers nicely on the temple, and slowly took off the sunglasses. The strong sunlight made her slightly She squinted her eyes, but she still faced the camera, and smiled bravely and brightly under the blue sky and white clouds. She showed a mouthful of white teeth in a childish way, and there was a little bit of shyness in her smile——

There was a loud, almost groaning exclamation in the movie theater, and Jon, along with all the audience, resisted the urge to blink while making such an ecstatic 'ohhh' , can't bear to miss any frame, she can't even find any words to describe her current feeling, she has never felt—never seen—

"It's so beautiful!" In the end, she could only think so plainly and excitedly, "It's so beautiful, all of this is just... so beautiful!"

Suddenly, she understood what Charles had been saying all along: This is indeed a movie you can watch a hundred times because it—to say nothing else—just, as far as it goes, Come on...it's so beautiful.
