Hollywood Domination Chapter 275: Unable to comment


"I'm sitting down now."

Just as Alan Morrison was testing the faces of his colleagues in confusion, a few rows behind him, Charles was broadcasting his actions live on the forum post with his head down, "The audience in this scene is a bit mixed. Saw some well-known film critics, and what seems to be Disney executives? Ah, and the guy who sat next to Jennifer at the opening ceremony in Beijing—is her agent? He just walked up to me, and A dark-skinned Arab man said hello."

After typing a paragraph quickly, Charles pressed the send button, glanced at the dark-haired man next door, and added, "He looks handsome, like a movie star, maybe he is a movie star , just from a country we don’t know very well, I heard the manager call him Saeed, can anyone search for his information?”

After replying to a post, he refreshed the reply list of the post, and raised the corners of his mouth proudly: Charles officially entered Jennifer's fan circle from cult movies, and it didn't take long for him to enter the forum. It's been a few months, but with his qualifications of going to the "Iron Man" preview, he quickly became a small celebrity on the forum, and when he wrote a program himself and grabbed the "Monroe" After getting the tickets for the preview, it seems that he has become a powerful figure in the hearts of fans. Inspired by this, Charles is planning to expand the applicability of this program and make it a breakthrough point for his own business. At the same time, he also enjoys the preview meeting with a group of professionals looking forward to Jennifer's new film It made him feel that the distance between himself and Jennifer was so close—just now he described Saeed Al Nahyan in a mysterious way, just to create some suspense, in fact, he knew very well that this Middle Eastern Who is the handsome guy: The royal family of Abu Dhabi, Jennifer's fanatical suitor, and the target of rumors alluded to by many media before, although due to his huge family power, the media did not get his detailed information, but Charles also grew up with some I saw Said in the photos on the website (he wrote a program to grab Jennifer's news), and he recognized him almost at first sight, and because he was with Jennifer's suitor, It's cool for a billionaire to sit and watch a movie together.

"Are you a film critic? A reporter?" The movie was about to start, and he no longer focused on his phone, but turned his head and tried to talk to Said calmly, "It's still the same as me, a lucky one Fan?"

Sayed gave him a friendly smile, and replied with the kind of friendly attitude full of distance that is unique to the upper class, "I would like to give you another answer, but unfortunately, in Jenny In front of Ms. Jefferson, I am afraid that I will always be an over-enthusiastic fan."

His decent answer also made Charles feel good about him. He put away the mentality of spying and gossip, pretending that he really didn't know the identity of Said, and talked to him about Jennifer's movie, "This It should be her new attempt to play beautiful women in art films. If you have paid attention, you will know that Jennifer has always avoided beautiful roles in her art films—of course there are only two of them so far. Yes, even Sally didn't emphasize her beauty. I think it may have something to do with her lack of confidence in her acting skills. Just like Theron wants to play ugly to win an Oscar, Jennifer is also afraid that her acting skills will not surpass her. beauty."

"There should be considerations in this regard," Said also nodded, and he said expertly, "However, this film cannot be regarded as a complete art film, and the commercial nature should be relatively strong. After all, it is a film. This is a love-themed film, not just a biographical one..."

As far as Charles feels, Said should be well-educated, not to mention very funny in conversation, obviously not the kind of ignorant and vulgar nouveau riche, and for Jennifer's understanding, even Charles is a little ashamed It's not like—it's not that Said has been hinting that he has a strong relationship with Jennifer, but that some of the performance details and interviews he talked about are information that can only be remembered by Jennifer's fans. At the beginning, Charles still had some prejudices against him, but after a few words of conversation, his thoughts have completely changed: Said's pursuit of Jennifer is definitely not a whim, and it is not even the kind of rich and tycoon who loves beauty. The collection and pursuit of Jennifer, his understanding of Jennifer is enough to prove that this kind of affection has lasted for a while. It can be said that Charles was even a little confused: at first he thought that Syed’s pursuit of Jennifer was a beetle who wanted to eat swan meat, but now he felt that if he was Jennifer, then, facing this rich, handsome, He can't find any reason to refuse a well-behaved and affectionate husband-in-law.

Of course, if you think about it from another angle, even such a man can't impress Jennifer, even such a man can only be a hopeless suitor, and can only enjoy the same treatment as a fan to watch the preview , rather than wanting to have an exclusive screening - and most importantly, he seems to be quite satisfied with the treatment and accepts his fate, and doesn't think it has wronged him...

Charles shook his head, he didn't know how to imagine it anymore - the Arabian prince was already one of the highest ranks he knew. According to this idea, how tall should Jennifer be? Even if I become a millionaire with IT technology, I can't hope to be worthy of her in this life.

The two men chatted speculatively, and even exchanged K's account and ICQ number, and when the lights of the movie theater dimmed, they also terminated the conversation tacitly, and turned their attention to the big screen. Charles' heart was already pounding, as if he was facing a long-awaited meal: no matter how good the quality of the movie was, he believed that as long as the director didn't fail, he could at least have beautiful women to watch. It's worth the fare, after all, for men, the pursuit of beauty has always occupied a very important position.

"In Salvitucci's documentary, the people are still very beautiful, so they shouldn't disappoint me." He was thinking about gains and losses, watching the logo of the big dream slowly fade, and a paragraph of black words appeared Above the screen: In 1956, Marilyn Monroe was at the peak of her career and had just entered her second marriage. At the height of her reputation, she came to London to work with Laurence Olivier to film "You Long Xi Feng", and this incident is of great significance to a young girl...

The black words faded away, and with the gradually louder background music, the familiar melody of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" sounded. Charles stretched his neck expectantly, looking for Jennifer-Monroe was also a little curious: this should be the original film, right? Some of the features feel inimitable, but...if it's the original film, how do you cut into Jennifer in a moment?

Charles' confusion was quickly answered. Although the director tried his best to modify it, Charles instinctively found some traces of some minor details. He felt that except for a few shots in the opening, the rest should be reshot versions. It’s just an old-fashioned treatment—the sense of coordination of the picture and the smoothness of the lens are incomparable to the original version. Although it’s just such an insignificant piece of content, it also gave Charles a little more confidence in the movie , I have a certain degree of affirmation of the new director Salvitucci.

"I hope he can shoot Jennifer like—"

Just as Charles was thinking this way, the camera rotated, accompanied by changes in the music, and Monroe—Jennifer—turned around suddenly in the crowd. The quality also changed from a grainy film to high-definition quality with the second cut.

This is a very bold decision, no need to explain, the low quality basically has its own soft light effect. After getting used to the low quality and returning to the high quality, it is easy to find the flaws on the face , not so delicate skin, bags under the eyes, nasolabial folds, and crow's feet, slack muscles on the cheeks... As a veteran movie fan, Charles should have realized this, and noticed the director's guts—

However, at this moment, looking at the screen, fanning eyelashes at the camera, slowly raising red lips, slowly showing a smile from the eyes, finally revealing the white teeth, and smiling playfully at the audience. Lu, Charles can't say anything...

How can she be so beautiful? ——This question sounds shameless, but this is indeed Charles’s doubts now. If his concentration is 100%, then 97% of his attention is now marveling at Jennifer’s Beautiful, while the remaining 3% are wondering why: Jennifer has been famous for seven years, and she has taken countless looks in magazine photos. It is said that the audience should gradually feel tired of this face now, and she should also Due to the years, he began to appear old in front of the camera, but——

But at this moment, her cheeks are still plump like a girl's, her eyes are bright and pure, her skin is so soft and delicate, her smile is so light and sincere, she even looks like It's a little strange, and Charles doesn't know how to describe her change. Of course, her appearance is still the appearance of Jennifer Jefferson. However, in Salvi's lens, she has completely changed - her Among the types of smiles, there is a happy, wanton, shy, bold, and wholehearted smile, and this kind of smile is like a giant black hole, attracting the eyes of the audience, and like a scorching sun behind her Burning, covering her every move and gesture with a layer of golden tulle, casting a hazy halo, so that Charles could only stare at her every gesture and gesture, repeating this question in his heart : How is she so beautiful! Why did she suddenly become so beautiful?

It took dozens of minutes for Charles to wake up suddenly, and found that he was staring blankly at the screen, thinking about nothing but Jennifer's beauty. The picture of Huan was so shocked that it left her body—Jennifer's beauty, the beauty of every picture she was in... Charles didn't even know what to say, his language ability was seriously disturbed, and he hasn't had it until now full recovery.

"Salvi's picture is so beautiful..." An idea that has nothing to do with Jennifer finally appeared in his mind. Charles watched Colin walking around the manor, and couldn't help but start admiring For him, in the first half an hour of the movie, the plot was just a cloud of mist, so now it is difficult for him to follow up quickly, so he simply gave up the plot and began to concentrate on watching the film. Salvi's aesthetic, elegant and aura lens. "It seems that the media is just talking nonsense. J.J chose him purely because of his professional talent, and it has nothing to do with his looks—well, the colors in that scene just now are really beautiful, and the camera positions are also very creative, Sa The scenery in Ervi's lens is not only beautiful, but also fascinating and cool..."

He thought about this sentence absently, and when he saw Jennifer appearing in the camera, Charles lost his mind for a moment, looking at Jennifer Monroe, who had short blonde hair and was wearing a white morning coat, he couldn't be effective at all. After thinking about it, there is a man's instinct to chase beautiful women, and there is also a human's instinct to appreciate beautiful pictures: in Salvi's composition, Monroe naturally becomes a bright and deep background like an oil painting The only light tone among them has naturally become the focus of vision. This kind of composition that conforms to the instinctive aesthetics of human beings will make the audience unconsciously happy and fascinated. The outstanding appearance of the young man in Lin, even if you don’t read the plot, the whole movie is charming enough just by looking at the picture, just the color, light and shadow have converged into a gorgeous big maze——Jennifer disappeared from the picture again, Charles thought absently: An Oscar nomination for a technical award is definitely inevitable...

Ah, Jennifer came out again, and the thoughts just disappeared again. Charles tried to concentrate a few times-in fact, after watching movies for so many years, Charles can be said to be a slanted film critic. When watching a movie, he will be in a more excited state. Judging from the comparison of famous film critics and his own feelings, he can basically understand the director's intentions after watching the movie for the first time. This time, he found that It's so hard to concentrate, not that the story is boring, but it's really hard for him to get out of Jennifer's beauty - he can't even see Jennifer as Monroe, because he's not in In the plot, and this is not to say that Jennifer is not involved in the play, and has no acting status. In fact, Charles gradually discovered that he was fascinated by Jennifer who played Monroe. It is not the usual quiet and elegant Jennifer, but a Jennifer Monroe who is emotional, even affectionate, who speaks loudly, laughs loudly, and cries loudly. Jennifer, who is burning with life, sexiness, and exuding the desire and joy of loving and being loved, must have changed in the process of playing Monroe. Charles even wants to use Nirvana to describe her smile. Reborn, if she was just very beautiful and charming in the past, the fatal attraction she is full of now can be said to have completely performed Monroe's demeanor of inverting all beings, and at the same time made her so charming , and even said that it made Charles feel like he was willing to give everything, just wanting to keep watching her.

When the story of the film came to an end, the screen returned to the dark background, and when he began to scroll the list of crew members, Charles rubbed his sore and swollen eyes, but found helplessly and unexpectedly: He didn't know what the plot was talking about. In fact, he found nothing, understood nothing, and remembered nothing except Jennifer's amazing beauty...

Although the film was over, the audience did not get up immediately, and stayed in their seats to exchange their thoughts with each other. Charles noticed that several film critics were seriously thinking about something, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed: Charles unanimously felt that film critics are a very "cheat" business. In fact, he is not incompetent. Only now does he understand how far he is from professionals—his phone is already full of unread messages. Many friends are asking about the quality of the film: According to the confidentiality agreement, he cannot disclose the plot, but it is still allowed to make judgments on the quality of the plot. And Charles didn't know what to say at all... At this time, a professional film critic might even have conceived the ending of the film review.

"How is it?" He turned to Said, inquiring about reality in a relaxed tone, "Do you think this will be J.J's breakthrough work?"

Seeing that Said didn't respond at all, and was still staring at Monroe's clothing concept picture in the ending song, Charles felt a little more relaxed: Fortunately, it seems that his resistance is not too weak, but The enemy is too powerful, and he is definitely not the only one who is so fascinated that he can't recover for a long time.

"What do you think?" He stopped bothering Said, but turned his head to talk to the female audience on the other side, "The movie is indeed very beautiful, isn't it?"

"Indeed," the middle-aged woman was much more generous than Charles, she said heartily, "I feel like I need to watch it two or three times before I can comment on the movie itself. I've been admiring the view for hours and of course Jennifer - she's so beautiful in this movie it's such a distraction that if I were to write a review now I can only praise her Acting, there is no doubt that this film is a new breakthrough for her, but I think, this is not what you hoped for? There is no mention of the quality of the film itself, it certainly does not meet your expectations."

The last sentence, she turned her head and said to the staff who just walked into the screening hall. Judging from her smiling expression, it is obvious that she should be a well-known female film critic. Maybe very closely.

Because the internal preview meeting is not to leave after the preview, but also needs to collect feedback from the audience, so many audiences are now going to the conference room under the guidance of the staff to prepare for the post-viewing review meeting. Several film critics The people also stood up slowly, and walked forward while talking in a low voice. After hearing this sentence, they all stopped and echoed.

"Play it again, Judy, this movie is really hard to see through."

"There are more than two hours before dinner, enough to play it again."

"Indeed, I'm very interested in Salvi's camera..."

Listening to these chaotic but unified requirements, Charles stared wide-eyed. Apart from being extremely surprised, he was also filled with a strong feeling of 'as expected', and even a sense of satisfaction and self-satisfaction. My feeling: *, it seems that I am not as bad as I thought. These film critics are quite high-sounding, but in fact, they are not the same as him. Watching j.j ignores the plot at all...
