King of Hollywood Chapter 91: Surprise? ! ! !
>Game adaptation movies have always been a problem. It is almost impossible to satisfy game fans and movie fans at the same time. No matter where they are skewed, it will cause dissatisfaction on the other side. (AihonGwenxuom, Rainbow Literature Network) However, in general, game fans are more difficult to wait for, especially those fundamentalists, together based on the game settings, slightly different are unacceptable, and the number of fans is much more than the game fans , So even though the flow of the movie version "Resident Evil" basically comes from the game, the overall tendency is to game fans, but the plot setting is still biased towards the fans.
Rao is so, the production staff spent a lot of effort to balance the movie version of "Resident Evil", although the box office is not bad, but it is still criticized by many people. Fortunately, "Tomb Raider" has a relatively greater degree of freedom. Although the decryption games are delicate, Laura's image is the most eye-catching, so as long as you stick to it, the plot and the game do not have too many connections.
The female version of Indiana Jones, which was one of the slogans when the game was originally launched and one of the keys to Laura’s popularity, so what are the characteristics of Dr. Jones’ adventure? Quite simply, although some surreal things appeared at the end of the trilogy of "The Treasure Hunt", such as the Ark of the Covenant, such as the Holy Grail, but the entire adventure of Dr. Jones encountered dangers and institutions encountered by people and things and reality. Closely connected.
"No need for so much magical content, the treasure is just an embellishment, and it can finally show its power, but the focus is not on it. Laura's skill, Laura's equipment, Laura's wisdom, this is the focus of the movie! "This is what Adrian told the crew again and again.
In his view, the so-called mysterious Golden Triangle of the original version is almost unknown. The game is indeed the female version of Indiana Jones, but the movie is completely different. In a movie that focuses on action and characters, mysticism is If the ratio is too large, it will easily affect people's movie watching experience.
So. At the beginning of the film, Laura searched for treasure in the mountains of Peru. Since it was a female version of Indiana Jones, it would be a tribute. Not only that, Adrian also invited Sean Connery to Laura’s father. Although only a few scenes appeared in the memory, this gimmick was enough to attract a large number of people to watch.
Then, after using the equipment to fully show his skills in the mountains and forests, and using a few words to prove his knowledge of archaeology, Laura finally found the treasure, but a careless person was rushed to take it away by a bad person who was half a step behind. Too. Of course, fighting is inevitable, and Laura's iconic double guns are also shown for the first time in the game. The lens switches quickly, and the flexible figure of Cate is amazing. However, the thing was still taken away by the other party, using a very mean method, and laughed at her loudly when she left.
"Failed, and that nasty guy again, I will catch him someday." Laura, who came home, complained to her housekeeper, and in a sentence, showed the character's character from another angle.
"Occasional failure is also a good thing." The housekeeper was so comforted.
Following is a comprehensive presentation of Laura’s life, manor, archaeology, auction, display of his knowledge, etc., and interspersed with memories of his father. After Connery's face appeared, it caused a few low marvels in the auditorium. The film here specifically compares the performance of Laura by adjusting the angle of the lens and the light on the scene. She wears glasses and loosens her hair. She has a scholarly temperament, but she takes off her glasses and binds it to a ponytail. . Oh, it's also the trapeze trapeze that bounces off the elastic rope.
Then I was commissioned by the Royal Library to go to Angkor Wat in Cambodia to investigate a certain ruin, and I met the opponent in the middle. The other party was hired by an organization to come here to investigate. It is an action scene, not only to confront each other, but also to prevent sneak attacks by the locals. Some of the more classic institutions in the game have also appeared. The director's rhythm is quite good, and Adrian also supervised the cutting of the segment himself. As far as the action scene is concerned, it is very exciting.
In the end, Laura won the game and brought something that looked like a half Buddha head made of gold to Britain. The reason why it looks like it is because Adrian does not know what it is. These are mainly props to promote the development of the plot, because the writers need to take the things in the treasures of Peru and the hidden ruins of Cambodia and then get the information. Go to Tunisia to find a precious cultural relic thousands of years ago.
There are so many screenwriters making every effort, this is not a difficult thing, but if you want to study it carefully... forget it.
Finally, there is another battle. An action movie has three close fights, and the three fights have their own characteristics. The first game relied mainly on Laura's various equipment, and the double guns were particularly brilliant. The second game was mainly to show Laura's tight fight. For this reason, Adrian specially asked Yuan Heping to act as the action guide.
I have to admit that Yuan Ba Ye is very good at it, under his guidance. Laura and his opponent's fight, which focused on skill and strength, was very beautiful. But on the other hand, he is still stingy. Although the action guidance is in place, he still hides his hands. Sometimes he would rather let the apprentice repeatedly make remarks and do not want to make a clear explanation. I am afraid that these skills will be learned. Let yourself lose her job.
Unfortunately, he did not understand that some people have been analyzing the actions he directed frame by frame, and summed up a lot of things from it. Hollywood is always very efficient in things that can bring benefits. of. So even if he hides it no matter what, it may not be as good as his personal guidance, but it is definitely more suitable for Hollywood action movies. It is a pity that the decline of Hong Kong movies is probably related to this bad habit.
Okay, let’s not talk about this. In the last fight, there were tricks, and the organization that hired Laura’s opponents also found clues to Tunisia to find the valuable treasure that was said to have been passed down in ancient times. They have much more resources than Laura. Not only do they grab the front step by step, but the design grabs Laura.
"Why didn't you kill her so badly, I heard you suffered a lot from her, or did you feel downhearted?" The employer was very dissatisfied with Laura's practice of locking Laura off.
"We often fight, I know very well what kind of woman she is, she will definitely have a backhand," said the head calmly. "And she has an extraordinary instinct in treasure hunting. We need to use her to find the target. I will let people look at her and kill her in the first place if there is something wrong."
Almost all action movies have such a plot. Why should "Tomb Raider" be an exception? The judgment of the head seems to be correct. Laura did take them to find the treasure. Then, suddenly, he made trouble, and used some small means to paralyze the contact between the people who entered the ruins and the big troops, and then broke the rest of them.
"It's just like you know me. Parisi, I know you too, so I took advantage of it." Laura said teasingly when she fired the gun, getting caught and letting them everywhere She had deliberately made various disadvantages, such as the first move, which were all part of her plan.
All the mastery of the big remake feels absolutely happy for the audience, plus a variety of hot special effects scenes that have been well handled, gravel splatters, melee fights and the final touch of the mechanism, except Laura and her Everyone except Parisi sank into the ground with the treasure for a while, and they were all very good. To know. Such interspersed shots of ingenuity, action, and shootout scenes will appear very fragmented and lack tension if the director is not well grasped, but the movie does not give this feeling. It can be said that the movie as a whole should be successful. Applause can be heard.
"They like Laura you play, my dear." In the RV back to the hotel, Adrian said happily with Cate, and the troubled little guy was rushed to another car by him.
"So should I say thank you?" Cate lifted his chin slightly. She was still very happy, especially after the end, many people congratulated her that this was a good movie, but they were used to facing Adrian with this attitude when they were in London.
"Of course not, I waited for almost ten years on this day." Adrian smiled.
Cate froze, turning his head out of the car window involuntarily. Although London has not changed much in the past decade, it still has the Millennium Bridge and the London Eye. But she still remembers that in a small hotel in the suburbs, Adrian sprouted the idea of "Tomb Raider" because of herself, and his excited look was always portrayed in her mind.
Then, ten years later, this idea turned into a novel, a game, and then a movie, or a movie starring yourself. At the same time, the man who germinated the idea became a famous media tycoon, and he became one of his many women, and had children...
"What's wrong?" Adrian, who sensed her emotional change, asked softly.
"Nothing, just... I remembered some past events." Cate sighed.
Adrian chuckled and hugged her tighter. At the same time, she looked at her seriously and attentively: "Do you know what the luckiest thing I have encountered so far? I met you when I directed the movie for the first time!"
Although there is only such a sentence, it contains a lot of meanings. Cate naturally heard it. She did not speak for a long while, and finally she just sighed: "You bastard..."
Follow her and close her eyes, snuggle her body completely in his arms and say nothing, Adrian also exhaled, and closed her eyes to enjoy this rare and unspeakable love and warmth.
After the release of "Tomb Raider", many British media have given high marks, from games to game characters to actors are all British, plus Laura may not be the first virtual character on the cover of the magazine, but Absolutely the most popular virtual character at present, naturally very popular with the British.
"This is an excellent action movie that perfectly reproduces some of the settings in the game without being out of the ordinary. Cate? Beckinsale may not be the closest person to Laura in appearance, but overall In terms of image, it is almost the same as Laura Crawford. It is a pleasure to watch her fight in the movie." An article in the entertainment section of the Guardian wrote.
Some other large newspapers are similar. Although the Times has picked a few thorns, it still admits that Cate’s image is very close to Laura, and she is very likely to be nominated for an Oscar and starred in an action movie. Add praise and call her one of the best British actors. The British do have an advantage on the British territory.
But what they said is also true. This was originally a Adrian tailor-made plan for Cate. Although it is a commercial action route, it can still take into account art, and it is not that it has not been as successful as an actress-in memory- At most, the time to win the honor may be slightly longer. It doesn't matter, she is British and female. It’s not easy to get an Oscar. Although Adrian can completely achieve Cate through public relations, that’s a bit of a false name. Can’t she be the worst actress in this life?
Anyway, there are things in time, and some suitable movies are also, Adrian can give her an unquestionable shadow, so why bother?
As for the "Sun", still gossip gossip, and they really found a breakthrough point.
"The real first Miracle Girl?" This is the title of the "Sun" on the third day after the film's premiere. They described in detail the role of Cate in "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" and "Memento" .
"Everyone knows. "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" is the miracle director Adrian? Kewell's debut is a cult type film with a rich British black humor. This film not only made Adrian blockbuster, but also made it popular. Excellent performance of Dennis Knight. I believe that most people will laugh at the black humor when watching this movie, and they will ignore the only female character in the whole movie, yes, that is the marijuana Sucked by the unconsciousness, she picked up the machine gun and slammed the girl. She was the Cate? Miss Beckinsale who played Laura Croft in the recently released "Tomb Raider"!
Next, Adrian produced his second movie "Memento". This work also shined at the Berlin Film Festival, which further established the status of miracle director. Dennis also served as the actor of the film and dedicated more exciting performances, while the equally important supporting actress is still by Bay. Played by Miss Kinsale.
Next, Miss Beckinsale starred in the sister Helen in "Howard Manor", but was completely obscured by Emma Thompson. Afterwards, although she never played a role in the movie directed by Marvel Director . However, they have successively played leading roles in films such as "Twister" and "Serendipity", and the scripts of these films are all from Marvel Directors, and Bosworth Films has also invested in it, and so is "Tomb Raider".
More importantly, Adrian recently attended the premiere of "Tomb Raider" in London, although she did not enter with Miss Beckinsale. But according to people familiar with the matter, the two had a very intimate conversation in the screening room. Obviously, the first miracle girl was neither Julia Roberts nor Monica Bellucci, but Cate? Beckinsale. Correct. "
There is only one report in the whole report, according to people familiar with the matter. The rest are facts, so put it directly, plus the word Miracle Girl. Needless to say, I also know what it is alluding to. It's a famous tabloid.
Adrian is not unprepared, as Cate's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, this kind of thing will be turned out sooner or later, but he is not very satisfied. It was actually stabbed by the "Sun". Fortunately, Cate is not in London right now. She has to be busy promoting "Tomb Raider". After the UK premiere, she returned to the United States, and the manor bought by Adrian is in Hampshire. You don’t have to worry about being found by paparazzi for a while.
As for the US side, it is not a few years from now. It will take a little time for the news to pass, and Cate should be ready by then.
So Adrian is not worried, and he still has time to consider how to make the AV version of "Tomb Raider". He decided to invest 5 to 10 million in an anonymous way and find the pornographic emperor under the DP to star in the future, let Why does she perform all kinds of tricks according to her own wishes and make herself happy with a little money? DP will not refuse, they are a very ambitious adult audio tape company.
Unfortunately, another took the old man of Hefner, and also put on the cover of "Playboy". She had hoped that she could play an AV version of "Legally Blonde ".
Okay, this is just a trivial matter. Adrian only thinks about it when it’s available. There are other things to do at other times.
"Okay, if they are sincere, you can let people go to investigate. After my vacation in London, if the result is not bad, you can consider to take a look at it." Adrian said while knocking After the door rang, there was a cry and asked to enter.
"Ed, why are you hiding here, everyone is outside." Little Emma, who opened the door, said dissatisfied with her arms akimbo.
"Sorry, dear, there is a little thing to deal with, and it will be fine soon." Adrian put down the phone and smiled, then tapped on the computer a few times.
"You all say it's vacation." Little Emma walked over the edge of the desk and glanced at the monitor.
"No way, you can't help but deal with it," Adrian shrugged. "Give me five minutes, I promise to come out."
"Okay, okay, busy people, so busy that I have no time to coax me to sleep." Little Emma snorted deliberately.
"Hey, Emma, we said yes." Adrian took a sip from the coffee~IndoMTL.com~ Yes, I know. "Little Emma walked away with a long voice. At the moment she turned around, her original disapproving look sank, and her teeth bit her lip, which seemed very unwilling.
She walked to the door a little, and twisted and looked at Adrian, and suddenly her eyes light up.
"Yes, Ed, I have a surprise for you." She put her hands on her back and looked at him with a smirk on her chest, "I don't know if you dare to accept it."
"Surprise?" Adrian raised her eyebrows, looked at her and picked up the coffee. "Don't use aggressive methods, dear Emma, I won't be fooled."
The voice just fell, and with a bang, Emma little lifted her skirt up in front of him, and the underpants with the coffee cat were exposed to Adrian. Not only that, little Emma also deliberately twisted After two buttocks, the coffee cat on the **** also followed twice, as if he had come alive.
With a thud, the coffee in the mouth of Adrian spewed out violently, far away, the desk, the floor, the clothes, the face, everywhere, and then, Emma little laughed arrogantly and slipped out. (To be continued...Q
