King of Hollywood Chapter 220: Better than the original version
Although the new version of "Four Weddings and One Funeral" has changed a lot compared to the original version in Adrian's memory, Mike Neville still grasps the two main points of the story.
The first is the ubiquitous British humor. Although a serious expression of irony with a cold expression may affect the effect, as long as the audience remembers it, it will definitely laugh and laugh; the second is the youth in the 1990s. The attitude of marriage, old people always think that marriage is sacred, but it is just a ritual for young people now.
Never made good use of the three weddings and a funeral, and the contrast between Julia’s conservative Kelly and Dennis’s open-hearted Charles, both affirming the significance of marriage At the same time, this view is perfectly expressed, and supplemented by interesting humor, it is still an excellent romantic comedy movie.
In the end, the actor Charles failed to get married. His deaf and dumb friend finally thought of a third idea when the wedding was in progress. When the priest who presided over the wedding announced that he could express his opinion if he thought the bride and groom were inappropriate. , Stand up in sign language to show that he thinks the groom loves others.
In the face of this situation, Charles, who was suffering from the heart, had to admit it, and then was punched on the ground by the angry bride. However, for the benefit of the disaster, after canceling the wedding, Kelly finally summoned the courage to meet Charles, so in the heavy rain, the lover eventually became dependents.
Frankly speaking, this screening will be more rudimentary than "Schindler's List". "Schindler's List" just lacks the opening and ending, and there is no soundtrack in some places, but "four weddings and one funeral" in the first wedding and funeral plots are actually drawn with a framed lens Dashboard to explain the story
Of course, this does not mean that the directors are lazy. They started shooting at the beginning of the year, and it is almost half a year away from now. It is quite good to be able to produce to this level. Although there are reasons for this, it is a small-cost movie and it is convenient to shoot, but Neville and screenwriter Curtis are also one of the reasons.
For this point, it is clear to compare the Adrian of the two versions of the movie in my mind, so when the movie lights up, the applause applauded in the auditorium.
"Good job, Dan, I said, I can't be wrong." Adrian spoke with Neville a few words, greatly praised him, and then came to Dennis and smiled at this young man. The guy punched him in the shoulder.
Dennis's performance in "Four Weddings and One Funeral" is a lot of highlights, and not to mention the very good British accent, whether it is expression or body language, it is quite attractive. It is definitely better than Hugh Grant. . Even Neville, who initially had reservations, praised him later.
"Thank you, Ed, the big rock in my heart can finally be put down." Although Dennis didn't return a punch, he reached out and slapped his hands with Adrian, smiling with a smile on his face.
"Are you trying to say, did I put a lot of pressure on you?" Adrian asked jokingly.
Dennis did not answer directly, but after reading Adrian for a long while, he said: "It is true."
Adrian suddenly showed a surprised look, but didn’t wait for him to ask Dennis to explain it: "At the same time it gave me a lot of pressure, it also gave me a lot of motivation. You recommended me, of course I want to Do the best."
"Thank you, this is the best compliment I have heard." Adrian smiled suddenly, reaching for a pat on his shoulder. To be honest, the original choice for Dennis to appear in "Four Weddings and One Funeral" was largely based on intuition and initial judgment. It has now been proven that his plasticity is indeed very strong. No one could have actually found a person in the cafe. Opportunities for such talents are really the most important factor for the actors.
"This is my truth, Ed," Dennis said looking at him seriously. "If I don't have a messenger to agree to your invitation, I might still be a waiter in a cafe. Now, but In two years, I have been able to play the leading role in a medium-investment film, and has jumped from a famous newcomer with potential to triple star to an infinitely close star. Some things can be expressed without a thank you, I You can only use your own efforts to give back."
Adrian smiled and said nothing, tapping **** Dennis's shoulder.
"You will become a superstar, Dan." He said in a positive tone.
The reason why he decided to hold Dennis up is because the opponent is a capable person, a smart person, and... an understandable person. Needless to say, if the image of the four films directed by Adrian still have similarities, then the "Four Weddings and One Funeral" is enough to explain everything. Dennis will With a little ruffian feeling, the interpretation is very good. And in communication, it looks smooth but not unpleasant, and at the same time, it does not destroy its own personality and charm, which are the qualities necessary for a big star.
As for being smart, although Dennis only graduated from high school, he understands the importance of self-cultivation better than many young people who become famous overnight. He also likes to play, likes to party, and sometimes smokes marijuana, but it is always very restrictive. And he also listened to many good suggestions for the agent, such as exercising to keep fit, and even a house in the villa with a video tape to facilitate observation at any time.
Not to mention that, the previous words are enough.
"That's it." Adrian said he was leaving, but Dennis stopped him immediately: "Yes, Ed, there is a party at my house tonight, maybe you have a reason to attend?"
"No problem." Adrian agreed without thinking.
"Great, so don't delay your time." Dennis smiled and made a "go away" gesture.
This kid. Adrian laughed in his heart and turned to his goal. It's a shame to say that Rachel ? Wei Zi didn't come to the United States to participate in the screening. Of course, she is British and not the protagonist. She doesn't need to go to the United States for the screening. But the problem is that although she gave her business card last time she left London, she has even called him by phone so far. I don’t know what she was calling.
Maybe she shouldn’t have **** with her last time. Adrian sighed in his heart. Recalling so far, he feels very surprised, that day he really did not think about having a further relationship with Rachel . If you want to pursue a woman, it is best not to go to bed for the first time.
But something happened, and it happened naturally, as if it were natural. Adrian remembers that they talked about some English literature and the works of some well-known writers, or a woman full of book atmosphere like Rachel especially likes this kind of sentiment?
Is this really a one-night stand? Adrian was suddenly amused, and he quickly shook his head and left these behind. Although there is no Rachel here, there are other women whom he likes.
"Hi, Julie." Adrian smiled and came to Julia.
"Hi, Ed." Julia was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and coughed softly, reaching for the hair from the temple.
"I haven't seen you in a few weeks, you seem to be more beautiful." Adrian's smile is more intense, and at the same time glanced at the lady who spoke to Julia before, the other party immediately said goodbye and left, and moved quickly Let Julia have no time to keep it open.
"Damn, what do you want, Ed?" Julia glared at Adrian. If it was not a theater, she might lean forward with her arms akimbo to increase her momentum.
"I just want to ask you out, Julie." Adrian spread his hands innocently.
"Sorry, I have something else." Julia gave him a grin.
"Krebeka said you have no other plans today." Adrian grinned grumpily.
"She betrayed me?" Julia looked shocked.
"No, I just asked someone for help." Adrian shrugged.
Julia no longer speaks but just glares at him, Adrian sighed: "Don’t do this, Julie, I just want to go out with you, then have dinner, and then send you home. Of course, if you want to If you like, you can go to Dan’s party with me before going home.”
After a pause, he immediately pretended to be annoyed: "Okay, Julie, I think I still have some credibility, right? At the last Vanity Fair party, you said you don’t want to... "
"Enough is enough, Ed, enough." Julia interrupted his speech with some hang, and she waved vigorously with her arms crossed: "No matter what you say today, don't want me to sit on your side Go in the car"
Thirty minutes later, with a thud, Julia glanced helplessly at Adrian, which closed the car door, and said in a bitter and abusive tone: "So, where are you going to take me?"
"Nice place~IndoMTL.com~Adrian smiled and started the engine to drive the car onto the street.
The film company was originally in the suburbs of Los Angeles, so the car quickly came to the 66th road with few vehicles, and then Adrian put on sunglasses and put down the window to increase the throttle, while turning on the car record player, playing rock music. The wind rushed northward in the wind.
Julia, who had never made up her mind to take the initiative to speak, finally began to pale slightly after the car became faster and faster and the wind in her ears grew louder.
"Where are we going?" she asked aloud.
"What are you talking about?" Adrian replied in the same loud voice, just with a smile on his face, but didn't hear it was obviously pretended.
Although Julia is angry, it is not easy to attack, so she has to ask aloud again, "I-men-go-go-where?"
"A place with great views," Adrian replied.
After a few minutes, he finally slowed down, drove off Route 66, and followed to the hills near Santa Monica. ()
