Hollywood Domination Chapter 181: A surprise for some people
"It's finally the day when it's released." Jon said to Harry contentedly, and handed the popcorn cone to Harry, "It's so fast, three years have passed—by the way , Harry, you said before that you were going to Silicon Valley for an internship, have you already found a company?"
"My father has already contacted a company for me." The thin and tall Harry put on his glasses and showed a smirk, "Next time when J.J's new movie is released, I can watch it before you When it arrives, maybe I can take a photo with j.j, are you envious, Jon?"
Jon snorted, "You will drive 6 hours to Los Angeles for j.j? Didn't someone say that he is no longer a fan?"
Harry grimaced, "I really don't have the time and interest to hang out with forums and watch street photography, but go to the premiere? See j.j's movie for the first time? Of course there will always be time, otherwise you Think what we are doing now, I have to get up early tomorrow to take the plane."
The two are at the top of the line waiting for the ticket to enter the venue. In fact, they have been waiting here for more than two hours. They have already eaten three or four tubes of popcorn. It’s almost three o’clock in the evening when everything is finished and back to the residence. If you still have to catch a plane tomorrow, this trip is indeed very urgent for Harry. Jon laughed, “Oh, cute haha Li, don't tell me that you stayed here just to watch the premiere with me."
"Of course, sister." Harry rubbed Jon's forehead and said happily, "This is our repertoire, isn't it?"
Yes, from Jenny's first movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" to now, Jon and Harry have watched the midnight show together, although some netizens were invited a few times during the period, but over time With the passing of Jon, Jon has gradually lost interest in meeting netizens. Although she is still very active on the Internet, she only invited Harry to watch the midnight show this time. ——And Harry has to go one step ahead of her in this regard. He has to go to college earlier than Jon, and now his studies are very tight. After the period when Jennifer took the mysterious route at the beginning, he is actually not so much Frantically trying to dig out every aspect of her life. Now it seems that he has left the circle of movie fans a long time ago, but the days of waiting for Jennifer Jefferson to come out of the Shubert Theater in the snowy night still made him admire every movie Jennifer participated in. With an attitude of great interest, not only will I watch it several times, but I am also keen to participate in discussions in the fan community. It can be said that Jennifer Jefferson was an opportunity for Harry. He was originally a theater fan and entered the world of movies under the leadership of Jennifer. This kind of psychology similar to the plot of a baby bird also made Harry Leigh postponed his trip without any complaints, just to watch the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, which meant a lot to him, with Jon. For him, this was not just a new movie, but three Memories of the star chasing time years ago.
"Of course, if you go back to work in New York, we'll watch "Pirate 3" together next year." Jon hid her reluctance with slapstick moves, and she added, "But maybe we We will meet up in Los Angeles next year to watch the premiere." ——For her, besides Jennifer herself, "Pirate" also symbolizes the friendship between her and Harry, and her feelings for this story are not simple. One sentence can be analyzed clearly.
"Well, I really hope that the show will start soon." Charles, a heavy otaku, tugged at the collar of his T-shirt uncomfortably, "I don't like movie theaters, there are too many people - if only I had a home theater... Although this cannot be compared with "The Fifth Sally", I hope Jennifer's performance will not be too bad."
His expectations for the film are more complicated. On the one hand, he really wants to see Jennifer's so-called breakthrough performance, and on the other hand, he is worried about the bad reviews of some film critics. Charles is not a fan of Jennifer, but he is afraid that talented actors will sink into the world and roll in bad commercial films instead of creating classics. And he just doesn't like the style of "Pirates of the Caribbean" very much, especially Captain Jack - Charles scoffed at Johnny Depp's new play, although "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" achieved good box office results, Charles also admitted that it was a film Nice movie, but Willy Wonka has a very low opinion of him. Charles is now afraid that Jennifer will imitate Johnny Depp and take such a route of pretending to be crazy.
"Don't be as boring as "The Fifth Sally." Liu Jin, a fashionable girl who usually doesn't care about movies and TV, looks at her watch excitedly, "If it can be as beautiful and elegant as "The Devil Wears Prada", Come on, that would be great, oh, and Jennifer and Josh, what will their interaction be like in the film? If they get back together, it will be so much fun..."
Old fans, new fans, gossip crowd who ignited attention on Jennifer because of the Oscars and gossip news, pure movie fans, passers-by who pass the time because of boredom—in these complicated movie-watching mentalities, the movie theater’s The lights dimmed, and the familiar Disney logo appeared in the middle of the screen. With the quick cuts of the title, the audience quickly learned about the development of the story between the first and second parts. Elizabeth and Will are already holding a wedding , and a group of British navy who broke in suddenly arrested Will. In the bitter rain, Elizabeth was wearing a gorgeous wedding dress, standing under the flower gate, her shiny blond hair was wet by the rain, and fell on her forehead. , This close-up made many viewers applaud secretly in their hearts. The spirit that was a little sluggish because of the midnight show was also stimulated by Elizabeth's beauty to wake up.
"Finally back beautiful again." Derek of "Variety Show" is also very emotional: In fact, speaking of it, Jennifer started her career with her beauty. She conquered the audience with her amazing appearance in "Pirates 1". Ordinarily, the audience will have many opportunities to appreciate her flawless beauty, and even now, three years after her debut, they may feel a little tired of seeing her face. But it’s not just luck or misfortune. Jennifer just showed off her beauty once again in "The Notebook". In the next two consecutive films, she appeared on camera with no makeup—it can even be said to be a bit ugly, although " Prada" and "Sally" have some scenes with exquisite makeup, but in the whole movie, her appearance and temperament give people the impression of being gloomy, cowardly, and mediocre...it was not until "Pirate 2" that this happened again Servicing shots—unnecessary close-ups, a second or so longer than normal, no doubt intended to show off Jennifer’s beauty to the audience. "I've heard that this girl's self-discipline is scary, but it's all worth it: three years is enough to make a beauty look old, but Jennifer Jefferson feels like these three years It seems that just for a moment, she is even more beautiful than 3 years ago..."
Yes, for fans of many series, a film with a long time span will make people very sad. In extreme cases, she will also show her old appearance. It is rare to see a movie star like Jennifer who is more beautiful in the second film than the first one. Under the water light and soft light intentionally or unintentionally, she seems to be an elf in the rain, with hair all over her body. With a twilight, at this moment, her beauty seemed to have a touch of otherworldly spirituality, which made many audience sigh and breathe. Many viewers who haven't seen "Pirate 1" on the big screen were immediately conquered, "I didn't expect Jennifer to be so much more beautiful than in "Prada"/"Sally"!"
This amazing appearance alone seems to be worth the price of admission to many people, but the next scene made more people's eyes wide open-after this scene, the film camera rotated , the flashback began: it was still in this courtyard, some furniture for the wedding ceremony was randomly piled up in the corner, it was obvious that the Governor's Mansion had started to prepare for the wedding. And Will and Elizabeth, played by Josh and Jennifer, are practicing fencing in the courtyard. Fast and ruthless, without the sweetness of a couple playing.
"What a beautiful fight scene!" Charles sat up straight. As a fan of cult classics and violent aesthetics, he worshiped "Kill Bill" as a god. For those commercial action movies that only know how to abuse explosives and show off their muscles, he Disdainful, but the fight scene in "Pirate" is gorgeous, the clues are clearly explained, and the two people's advantages and disadvantages in the fight are handled cleanly. ——and the lens is used very boldly, it is obviously a real person playing the role, there is no cut-off scene that is common in martial arts scenes, but a long shot that gradually zooms in, then zooms out and starts to spin and walk, as if it is a dexterous The third person was observing the fight, and his face was in the camera from the beginning to the end, which meant that this time the fighting scene must be done in one shot, and there was no room for a substitute to be fake.
As a blacksmith, Will must have extremely strong arms. His every move is very calm, and he also uses a broad sword. However, the smooth forward force, back seal, and slash are all moves that are in line with the principles of mechanics. Although the audience is not an expert, it is difficult to see where the science of these moves is, but their instincts make them feel that this kind of fighting is not "Pirate" 1" made people feel a little distracted by the 'water injection scene', which indeed included real kung fu, and the inner beauty of punches and kicks made people unable to take their eyes off at all.
"Compared to "Advance", his action scenes are much better. "Advance" just foolishly let him show off his muscles." Derek was quite satisfied with Josh's performance, "This time, he and Jenny When Fer is in the same frame, she doesn’t feel overwhelmed, at least not in the action scenes, which is very good... But Jennifer once again outperformed the man, and her performance was amazing.”
Yes, Jennifer Jefferson, who has never acted in an action movie before, and even has a somewhat 'fragile' personal image, her performance in this action scene can be described as amazing. Like a butterfly, she circled around Josh quickly and brilliantly, constantly actively attacking him. Among other things, that speed alone is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and she was waiting for an opportunity to attack with a narrow sword in her hand. With dexterous movements, following the director's fast and slow shots, she looks cool and full of energy. Her eyes are narrowed because of concentration, and the corners of her lips are slightly smiling... making her look dangerous and alluring, as if she was the same as the previous rain elf. Two people, the audience can't even tell which image is more charming. It is very obvious that she has also undergone very professional training. Whether it is speed, strength, angle, or posture, she is quite stylish. She does not have the feeling of "fancy fists and legs" in a play, nor is she overly masculine. Instead, she concentrated on the femininity of being fast, light, soft, and tricky. When Will stabbed with his sword, she suddenly bent back and avoided his attack as if dancing. Instead, she slashed from the side. To Will's weakness. ——Like a rhythmic gymnastics performance with a sword, it combines danger and femininity very well, and has a little bit of the oriental martial art 'Tai Chi' feeling.
"The world's top martial arts...Damn, the blockbuster is really good, the budget is abundant, and the best team can spend money." Charles adjusted his posture, and he was already excited, "Verbinski is a surprise , the same goes for Blanche and Jefferson, Josh also has action movies at the bottom, Jennifer completely scared the **** out of me--damn, who won't win the best actress if she doesn't? This girl's first action scene can Acting like this, she doesn't even need a substitute, she is definitely a genius, and a hard-working and crazy genius..."
Although Elizabeth, the eldest lady, suddenly became a master of swordsmanship, it seemed a bit abrupt, and there was no ambush in the first part, but Charles didn't pay attention to this at all-he didn't care about the plot anymore, the wonderful action scenes, The beautiful female lead completely attracted his attention and generously gave him a lot of satisfaction. This unexpected surprise made him already feel that his movie ticket, the inconvenience of going home at midnight, and the long queue time... Everything was worth it: the opening was so exciting, and his heartbeat accelerated with excitement. When he thought that this was the beginning, a strong sense of happiness immediately swept through his body, and he couldn't wait to read on.
