Hollywood Domination Chapter 147: Every seat is full

For the uninitiated to watch the excitement, for the expert to watch the doorway, when Jennifer's cadenza made the "Variety Show" master mesmerized, Jon and other ordinary viewers didn't realize how much technology was contained in Jennifer's scene Content, although they were also very excited by this performance of continuous personality changes, but they were more attracted by the plot—or, in other words, attracted by the pleasure of watching the movie brought by this movie, and they were completely immersed in it. In the world of the film, I began to speculate with Roger on the relationship between several of Sally's personalities: They have already seen that Sally probably didn't know the existence of the other several personalities, but what about the other several personalities? Did you know about Sally's existence? Which personality did the murder, or did Sally get stimulated after the murder and split into a new personality?

"The concept of multiple personalities is really interesting." Jon said softly to Harry beside her, "This film makes it very clear...I like this perspective very much."

Harry also lowered his voice, "Indeed, there are not many multi-personality crime films with such a high quality from a female perspective——"

Before he finished speaking, he was 'Ssh'ed by the people around him. The two young people squeezed each other's hands and stopped talking: It's normal to chat softly in a movie theater, as long as the voice is not loud, Usually no one would come to interfere, but Jon and Harry didn't take offense at the 'Ssh' either: the film was so informative that it had to be watched with full concentration, the cinema was silent and there were a lot of spectators Even the breathing is lightened.

It seems that the audience reputation of this small production will not be too bad... Jon was relieved to be distracted for a few tenths of a second again: For the public, the films that win Oscars every year are "obscure, high-end, foreign style" , You need to spend energy to understand' movies, especially the movies of Oscar's Best Actor and Actress every year, she directly assumes that the people who will watch them must be senior movie fans with deep meaning, because she doesn't think the other party's performance anyway. How amazing, how beautiful that movie is. Therefore, although he struggled to get the movie tickets for the on-demand screening, and based on the mentality of fans, he was sure to post good reviews after watching it, but Jon didn't have much expectation for the good-looking of "The Fifth Sally". The length of the film, the background of the times, the outline of the story, the tone of the filming, and Christopher's appearance all made her underestimate the entertainment and storytelling of the film. She thought she would see a film full of long shots, slow rhythm and inexplicable difficulties. An art film that understands the dialogue, and probably doesn't understand anything from beginning to end. ——In her heart, the movies that can be liked by the Oscars and want to go to the Oscars are basically of this type...

For this reason, although "The Fifth Sally" received a lot of praise at the Venice Film Festival, it was even more acclaimed after the internal preview a few days ago. The unanimous praise of authoritative newspapers such as the Chicago Sun-Times and the Hollywood Reporter, Christopher and Jennifer are likely to be nominated for Oscars and even win awards, but Jon still has no expectations for the film, even she is sure, In this packed screening hall, more than half of the audience also supported because of the popularity of the male and female leading actors. ——However, not long after the movie started, she had completely changed her opinion...

It’s not that this film can mobilize people’s adrenaline and let the audience give out a "wow" in admiration, just like facing those exquisite special effects. Worth the price of admission - The Fifth Sally isn't very fast-paced, but it's... Jon doesn't know how to describe it, it's real, it's engaging. Christopher's acting is very restrained and concise, but it conveys the information directly to her heart, without any psychological monologue, but Jon can understand his mental state: crumbling, dangerous, restless, hungry... The relationship between him and Dai Rui is somewhat forbidden, but it is very attractive. This film has made subtractions in the expression. A lot of information is expressed through the actors' bodies and pictures, but the information is conveyed very efficiently. , Jon, as an audience who is not particularly smart, can understand it completely. She also thinks this story is very interesting, and people get involved unconsciously. That kind of horror atmosphere is created little by little. , reaching a □.

It is said that blood and **** are exciting, of course Jon can't explain why, but it is true that when she saw the triangle relationship between Roger, Dai Rui and Bai Lei, seeing Bai Lei flirting and seducing Roger At this moment, her heartbeat started to speed up, and Jennifer's performance was like a propeller, pushing the atmosphere of the whole film to a small climax. At this moment, she began to fully devote herself to the film, and began to feel exciting, feel The story is good, the director is good, the actors are good... She thinks this is a very good movie. Now, she is looking forward to the end of the film, and also hopes that the film will not end so soon.

Of course, deep down in my heart, the part that belongs to the girl has been screaming all the time: Jon hasn't told Harry yet that she is afraid of being laughed at by Harry, but in fact, from Roger and Dai Rui's first From the first meeting, she felt the chemical reaction between the two, that strange attraction. She didn't know how to describe it, but... She felt that although Christopher became a fat man and was still an unattractive middle-aged man, the strange chemical reaction between him and Jennifer seemed to touch her directly. The string in her heart made her short of breath and her heart beat faster. ——Jennifer has played with so many handsome guys, but Jon actually thinks that she and Christopher have the most feelings...

"Sally Potter?"

"Y...Yes."

The scene in the movie cuts into the interrogation room, and Jon quickly concentrates, no longer weighing this idea that makes her a little ashamed: Jennifer and Josh are engaged, and they are also very happy, she and Josh Chris is just a friend, what are you thinking about?

After talking to Roger in the shopping mall, Sally, who fainted, was taken back to the clinic, but soon, she was taken to Roger's treatment room for questioning, and Roger's detective friend James sat on the side , couldn't help looking at her curiously and doubtfully, while the Kingston detective who was in charge of the case glanced at her relaxedly. "Do you know why we came here?"

"I... I got into trouble." Sally said softly, "Did I get into trouble?"

Different from the glamorous personalities just now, Sally in the hospital gown looked pale and haggard. She was bent over, desperate and restless, shaking her chair nervously, glanced at Kingston from time to time, and lowered her eyes again. ——This kind of performance made Jon quickly understand her reaction: she was afraid of Kingston, or Kingston had scared her crazy, and it seemed that she was very afraid that Kingston would hit her...

Although mentally disturbed characters are also very common in movies and TV shows, if the actors are not good at acting, for the audience, the crazy characters will not be able to arouse their empathy or understanding. They need to mobilize their brain power to experience According to the director's intention, make up a suitable mental path for him. But for this film, the audience does not need to do such efforts at all. Sally’s emotions have a clear thread. Many of her actions remind the audience of some of her reactions, such as the performance of shaking the chair at the moment, It made many parents and viewers think of their children's appearance when they had a guilty conscience—it's just that Sally was more depressed and desperate.

"Where were you on the afternoon of April 23rd?" Kingston asked, with a confident smile on his lips.

"I...I don't know—did I get in trouble?" Sally stammered as her chair shook even more, "I—I guess I should be in the café—"

"Are you at your stepfather, Fred Potter's house?" Kingston asked. "You had an argument, didn't you? Then you killed him?"

With sheer horror on Sally's face, she kept shaking her head, "I—I don't know—I don't know what you're talking about—"

Kingston gave her a suspicious look, and he suddenly approached Sally, "Are you high?"

Sally yelled loudly and waved her hands. She leaned back so desperately that she lost her balance and fell to the ground. The scene fell into chaos. Roger stood in the corridor, looking at Sally who was constantly twisting and struggling When he was taken away by the police, he had a strange expression, his lips were tightly pressed, as if he was suppressing something.

"Roger wants to save Sally... no, I think he wants to save Daryl, he's infatuated with that girl," Jon thought, "what a pity, he seems to be completely in love with Daryl ...But can he help Sally get rid of the crime? The evidence seems to be against her, after all, it was a matter of the last century, and did people at that time know what multiple personalities are?"

——Like all the new generations, in Jon’s heart, the world before 1998 was completely in ignorance, and civilization seemed to explode suddenly in the 1990s to its current scale.

After Sally was taken away, Roger ushered in another personal scene, which was very trivial. Roger was cleaning up the treatment room confiscated by the police, as well as the hospital beds and medical equipment used by Sally. Sally's medical record, there is only a thin page of writing on it, it is Sally's medication record... But Jon read it with gusto, and he didn't show any drama or impatient, because she saw it from Roger's actions. To his struggles and self-struggles: Roger wants to save Sally, but he is cowardly and mediocre, he swings back and forth between heroism, the girl he loves, and inertia, inertia.

Although she is not the usual audience of literary films, Jon likes this scene very much. It does not seem hypocritical and sensational. It does not express the protagonist's innermost feelings through some cheap emotional props like bad commercial films. (Usually in that kind of film, the protagonist's acting skills are not enough to support such an inner drama), just filming Roger's life naturally. After he finished these things, he got off work and lived in a small apartment. Having dinner, watching porn, trying to **** off - not getting hard, sad moment for a middle-aged man... Maybe symbolic of Roger's efforts and ignominious failure to whitewash the peace, and his gradual The fact that I was worn out by society to lose my sexuality, and then I washed and climbed into the bed...

Although the director used some camera cuts to save time, this one-man show was more than five minutes long, but Jon didn't find it lengthy. On the contrary, she suddenly began to appreciate... no, or it was a bit I adore Christopher, Roger’s state of mind is really handled by him. The calm tension is getting tighter and tighter, until finally Roger is tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep, turning on the light at 4 o’clock in the middle of the night, watching the alarm clock, and then going to the bathroom This silent tension seemed to reach □ as Room nervously washed its hands.

"Chris is really good at acting!" She thought very curiously, "Strange, why didn't I feel this way before?"

With this foreshadowing, when Roger showed up at the police station the next morning, Jon didn't feel strange and awkward at all. She watched Roger, James, and Kingston almost hold their breath, pointing out the strangeness of the case.

"She's entitled to a lawyer... She's not doing it because she's totally freaked out. James, you're dealing with a psychopath... I suspect she's suffering from multiple personalities."

"Detective Kingston, I'm the best psychiatrist in town."

"The only psychiatrist."

"Anyway, before you find another person to overthrow me, you have to trust my judgment. Sally Potter did not commit a crime... No, I am not saying that there is a second person who committed a crime. I mean, if If we want to find the truth at that time, then we must find out the criminal personality and have a dialogue with her..."

After Roger's weary, almost embarrassing insistence, he obtained permission, and Sally was brought up to him, looking utterly terrified, pale, emaciated, almost huddled.

"Hello, Sally," Roger said kindly, "did you sleep well last night?"

Sally sat up a little bit, looked at Kingston in fear, shook her head, and said hoarsely, "I don't know."

Kingston leaned over and said in Roger's ear, "She made a big noise in the cell and beat Anna's prickly head to vomit blood. We had to detain her separately."

"Then you may have missed the key to solving the case." Roger replied in the same low voice, and he turned to Sally again and said kindly. "Sally, I'm here to help you."

Roger is very confident in front of Sally, and his attitude is a bit condescending, but Sally seems to trust him very much. The weird attraction between them makes Jon a little restless. She doesn't know why, But the tension was like a feather, teasing her senses. — She had the feeling that Sally admired Roger.

"I'm in trouble, right?" Sally cried, "Oh, Dr. Ash, I must be in trouble."

Roger took some time to reassure Sally, and with his support, Sally told her story in fits and starts, "I married Larry right out of high school to get rid of my stepfather, but we Divorced last year, he said that he often stays away from home for a long time, and that I once disappeared for two weeks-people are always talking about me. I worked as a cleaner, but he slandered me for going to a striptease, and I even lost my children's visitation rights..."

Detective Kingston has been holding a disdainful attitude, but Roger listens very seriously, "Have you heard of dissociative personality disorder, Sally?"

He spent a little time convincing Sally and Kingston, and convincing Sally didn't waste much time, because Sally's trust and admiration for Roger had become more and more obvious, and Detective Kingston was very concerned about Roger. However, after Roger took out thiopental sodium, he accepted Roger's statement with some doubts: This was a very popular medicine at the time, known as Veritaserum, Kings Detective Ton had heard of the potion.

"Now, counting back from one hundred..." The scene switched to Roger's clinic. Detective Kingston was standing not far away. Roger winked at him, and the detective retreated into Sally's sight out, but still staring at Sally's arm.

After injecting the potion, Sally quickly entered a state of relaxation. Under the witness of the Kingston police detective, Roger said softly, "Continue to stay awake and concentrate on returning to childhood. When I count to five When you go back to any moment before you fainted or lost your memory, you will open your eyes and see the past as if it was staged on TV, vividly in your mind, and tell me the stories you saw..."

As he narrates, Sally goes back to her childhood, at first it's a fast-forward shot, Sally is with her biological father, some broken memories, then her father disappears, her mother remarries, Then the camera returns to normal, and the younger stepfather and her mother are talking, while Sally, who was only 4 or 5 years old at the time, plays with toys.

"Weian, take the child away."

"I'm tired today, Fred, I have a headache..."

This is a very small room. Under the frightening expression of the tall and fat stepfather, Sally's mother shut her into the closet, and little Sally soon heard the mattress creaking from outside the house. Voice. Curiously, she opened the closet door a crack——

"Once," the camera returned to the present, Sally was half lying on the bed in the consulting room, Kingston and Roger were standing aside, her eyes were out of focus, and her pupils were very black and big, "I saw She was kneeling on the bed like a puppy, she looked so vulnerable and in pain."

A wave of pure sadness and fear flooded Sally's face, and she suddenly began to cry, "When, when Fred came down, I saw the—of—" he penetrated into my mother.

She began to shake her body violently, roaring and crying loudly like a beast, Jon was completely overwhelmed, and she didn't even bother to pay attention to Jennifer's acting skills-now the picture in the movie is like the scene of a car accident, it is shocking , but with an ugly, surreal appeal that makes it hard to take your eyes off.

When Sally's crying slowly stopped, even Kingston looked a little uncomfortable, but Sally's expression slowly changed, and here the director didn't cut away once, the same as before , Jon once again completely witnessed Sally's personality switch, Sally's timidity, sadness and depression slowly faded away, and a smile appeared on the same face, Sally licked her lips... No, it was Bailey, It must be Bai Lei, that look can only be Bai Lei!

"So, the difference between Sally and Bailey is that Sally is afraid of sexual desire, while Bailey is... a manifestation of sexual repression? To regulate and release sexual desire for her?" Jon also began Realizing the cause of Sally's personality, "Where's Nora? And Dai Rui and Ginny..."

"Hi, Dr. Ash." After Bai Lei appeared, she first adjusted her posture and hairstyle. She showed a woman's charm without any change, but she didn't just pay attention to Roger, but looked at Detective Kingston kindly, "And you are—"

Kingston glanced at Roger in surprise, and Roger made a gesture to control his emotions. He seemed to have complicated emotions, and Jon felt that what he wanted to see was Dai Rui, so he was a little disappointed now, but And proud of having proved herself, "Beile, can you tell me how old you are?"

"More than eighteen years old, D-oct-or," Bai Lei licked her lips at him, puffed her chest out, and pronounced the word ups and downs, "I thought you knew this."

The ensuing conversation is very Belle, with her teasing of the two men mixed with Kingston's skeptical press, Roger's efforts to take control, and after this wonderful confrontation, Roger I roughly figured out the situation of Bai Lei and other personalities and Sally: Dai Rui is the only personality who has dialogues with Bai Lei, Nora, and Ginny, and is also the only personality who keeps awake all the time. Knowing that there are other personalities, such as Bai Lei, she only knows Sally and Dai Rui, and she doesn't know anything about other personalities. But Belle knew 'Dere was always there, and she knew Sally, and she knew all of us. ’

And Belle never talked to Sally directly, but only read some of her letters. For her, this body is like a bathroom, and people can only use it in line, except to use the precious opportunity to have **** Apart from having fun, she doesn't care about anything else.

"You two boys are the only couple who only care about how I live and have no interest in my body." Bai Lei winked at Kingston and Roger, "Now, you Are you interested in flying together——"

Kingston blushed, and Roger intervened in time, "Do you know where you were on April 23?"

"The last two times I found a chance to have fun with you, doctor." Bai Lei said lightly, "The first time you ruined my good deed, and the second time-"

She curled her lips, "You are the same the second time - I bet, you must be a hypocrite, I guess, you like... um... back-entry?"

When she said the first sentence, Kingston stared at Roger suspiciously. The director gave a narrow shot. After Bailey had finished speaking, Kingston cleared his doubts with a cough, and Roger let go of his fist in relief.

Although it was only a few shots, Jon fully understood the director's intention: It seems that Kingston has not let go of his suspicion of Sally, maybe he still thinks that Sally is a disguise, and Roger is her An accomplice, there is a physical relationship between the two. And Roger is also very aware of Kingston's doubts, and even facing his doubts, Roger is guilty. After all, Kingston's suspicion was not entirely wrong, Roger had a crush on Dai Rui.

Roger has put himself in a very dangerous situation now, and if he is not careful, he may be ruined... Jon began to feel anxious for Roger, and also worried about Sally's future: Although Not likable (she really had a hard time liking Sally, even though that was played by Jenny), but Sally was a poor victim, obviously, she was sick and she needed to be cured, but Ginny was so dangerous And uncontrollable, can she really complete the dialogue with Roger, prove that Sally is a multiple personality patient, so that she can receive treatment, instead of being wrongly sent to prison and ruining the rest of her life?

She shifted in her seat, held her breath, and continued watching with urgent suspense, while a vague thought flashed through Jon's mind: Although I haven't seen much Production - literature and art? Thriller? Anyway, haven't seen many movies of this type, but "The Fifth Sally" is really good, I think it must be the best of the year... no, it must be the best in the multiple personality genre, ever of a movie.

"J.J should win an Oscar, right?" Jon thought vaguely, the corners of her mouth curled up briefly, "I hope she can win..."

But soon, this idea was dismissed by her, and her attention was completely attracted by the plot...

Attracted at the same time as Jon, there are more than 200 people in the same screening hall as her-although generally speaking, the screening of this kind of Olympic film will choose a small hall, but because the tickets are so expensive Most of the movie theaters chose the largest hall to screen. On the first day of screening, it achieved an excellent result of 150,000 in a single theater, and 800,000 in 6 theaters that day. Almost every show of this rolling film is full of people...

Although the total box office is only 800,000 yuan, the 200,000 yuan single hall, full house, and the amazing word-of-mouth ratings after the screening also made "The Fifth Sally" really get the attention of the film circle, and began to be presented in awards. Ji fired his first shot.

The author has something to say: Note: I forgot to say in the last chapter that "Variety Show" is the best movie publication in Hollywood.
