King of Hollywood Chapter 95: mouth battle

"I am very lucky that I finally saw the latest work of Marvel Director Adrian?Kewell yesterday. Yes, it was the war movie that was popular at the beginning of the year. From the scene alone, it is pretty good, very very very very very popular. The epic feeling, the intense war scenes are enough to make every man adrenaline surge, and his control of the picture and rhythm has always been good, but if in other respects, this movie...too bad.

I think Mr. Adrian should probably go back to school and take a history lesson, especially British history. In the era of William Wallace, the Scots haven’t started wearing skirts. Of course, the excuse to clearly distinguish between the English and the Scots is acceptable, but don’t forget that Wallace’s family is allegiance to Edward I. If you really want to worry about it, Wallace should be a traitor rather than a hero. The true hero, the true "Brave Heart" Robert Bruce, turned into an indecisive figure, and finally, after being inspired by Wallace's death, he completely began to fight for the independence of Scotland. It is really ironic.

Besides, Princess Isabel was only a few years old when Wallace treasoned, and had not yet married to England. How did she travel across the English Channel and Wallace to have a relationship? I think Adrian can be modified in this way. Princess Isabel fell in love at first sight after seeing Wallace, and the two had a relationship. At the end, when King Edward arrested Wallace and was in death sentence, Princess Isabel whispered to him again. , She was pregnant with Wallace's child. See how moving and persistent this is, this is the plot that Hollywood movies should have, isn't it?

Not to mention other details. In the first decisive battle, a soldier who fought against Wallace sometimes wore a helmet and his head was bare, and the lens would change shape as soon as the camera turned. I have to say that Wallace was lucky that his opponent patronized the helmet and went there, otherwise he might have died in front of him.

This is a film with no sincerity. Anyone who has an understanding of that history will find numerous errors after watching it for three minutes. The director of Miracle chooses such a theme to make such a movie. Show yourself, see, whatever type he shoots, as for the audience's feelings of martial Qiankun, the Holy King, make the sacred king, the night kill the god, the throne of the gods, and seek the devil. Ao Shijiu Zhongtian is the strongest to abandon the Shaozhou Zhou Royal Martial Universe Qiankun will kill the gods and seals the throne at night Dazhou Royal Family, I will talk about it later. "

——Johnny Stanley of The Thames.

"There is no doubt that this is a wonderful movie, a magnificent epic, a national unyielding cry, and the "freedom" before Wallace’s death is deafening

This is a story adapted from real history. In the Middle Ages, Britain was not as unified as it is now. England and Scotland battled each other all the year round. They sometimes unified and sometimes split, and "Brave Heart" tells It is about the heroes that emerged in Scotland at the time for independence.

William Wallace’s father was a hero, and was executed by the cunning long-legged king when he was fighting against England. Although Wallace hated the English, he did not want to inherit his father’s will until he grew up. 'S fiancee was killed for rebelling against English soldiers. When Wallace avenged his revenge, the villagers and friends shouted, "We have heroes", finally realized the value of freedom, and finally understood my mission and took it down.

In battles against the English again and again, he gained the support of the Scottish nobles and finally laid a solid foundation for independence. But politics was always dirty, and the nobles of Scotland couldn't control him, so they turned around and betrayed it to the cunning and brutal long-legged king. Wallace, who was betrayed, was not discouraged. He continued to fight, and the English , And the betrayer, he saw through the conspiracy of the long-legged king again and again, and forged a deep friendship with Princess Marie Isabel-both knew the feelings of each other, but the difference in identity can only be This feeling is buried in my heart.

In the end, Wallace was sold to the English by Bruce’s father without the knowledge of Robert Bruce. The long-legged king, who was already ill, was ecstatic and wanted to execute the opponent in public and continue to stabilize the royal authority. However, no matter how the executioner tortured Wallace, he did not say "forgiveness", and finally shouted "freedom" when the axe fell.

Adrian is worthy of being a miracle director. Whether it is the joy after victory, the defeat after betrayal, or the final cry, and the private feelings of Wallace and fiancee and Princess Isabel, all touched people’s Soul, the final "freedom" is particularly shocking. A story tells about it, letting you immerse yourself unconsciously, following the rhythm of the story. Although there are still many flaws, such as a relatively large number of wearing lenses, such as different historical details, such as Wallace’s true deeds, but this cannot cover up the huge charm of this movie"

——The Los Angeles Times Philip? Gunther

Shortly after the trailer of "Brave Heart" was broadcast, Bosworth Films held a screening, and then there were two reviews with very different views. The former is extremely ridiculous. If it is not of professional quality, I am afraid that it has been criticized for nothing. The latter is extremely praised, and almost thinks that this is the best movie this year.

The reason for this is to look at the two newspapers published to know the reason. Basically, British film critics scoff at "Brave Heart", and even show their disgust without concealment.

"Even if it is adapted from real history, there must be a bottom line. I prefer not to participate in this screening." A British film critic said in his own column.

Although some film critics in the United States think that it has been adapted a bit, most of them still think it is a pretty good work from the movie itself.

"This is just a movie, as long as the key plot has not changed, the details above can naturally be changed for the story. Was Wallace resisting England hundreds of years ago? Of course, was Scotland independent? Of course So what's the problem? It's just a movie, not a documentary." Faced with the question of British colleagues, American film critics immediately retorted.

"Maybe the bottom line should be popularized for some people, as Johnny mentioned in the article, when Wallace betrayed, Princess Isabel was only a few years old, but in the movie she came When I arrived in the UK, I also had feelings with Wallace. This is really ridiculous. Has Adrian considered respecting history?" The British immediately fought back.

"If you pay attention, it will appear in the final subtitles. The staff wrote a sentence "This story is not real history" after the table. I want to make sure that many people did not pay attention. This is just a movie. Why can’t you put it down? What are those things to analyze from the perspective of the film? Are those powerful, passionate, and beautiful plots and scenes not what a good film should have?" The American wrote half-deprecatingly.

"Please note that the advantages are the advantages, the disadvantages are the disadvantages, and the disadvantages cannot be ignored because of the advantages, not to mention that the disadvantages are likely to be greater than the advantages, thus affecting the overall quality of the film." There are few American film critics, but there is no downside in the battle.

Two contradictory and sharp views collide together without compromise. In mid-December 95, in addition to the inherent gossip scandals and various films competing for Christmas-New Year files in entertainment news, just about "Brave" "The Heart" is the most striking. This caused huge repercussions among ordinary people. Like Adrian's "Howard Manor", it was aroused curiosity. What kind of movie would make film critics in two countries so quarrelsome?

"Of course, I certainly have to watch it. It can be quarreled like this. It should be a very interesting movie, isn't it?" an Englishman replied after being asked by a reporter on the street.

"That's to say, Director Miracle's work must be excellent." Americans did not hesitate to choose to support.

With the show of mouth fighting, the media of other countries have also been drawn in. Chinese reporters said they are looking forward to the release of this movie. Once they want to know what the history of Adrian has changed, second Come optimistic about Sophie Marceau's performance. Instead, the Scottish media in the same country remained neutral as before, on the pretext that no one participated in the screening and did not know the exact content of the film. Even if some people wanted to promote the glorious history of Scottish independence, it was because they did not participate in the screening and The information collected is incomplete, and the media in England and the United States insist on each other.

In spite of this, it did not stop the battle of words. In the end, even the "Sun" could not sit still, giving up the scandal of the miracle director who had no progress, and then deliberately conducted two investigations in England and Scotland. , The content is whether to support the new movie directed by Miracle. The final result is that in England, the support is only 15.2, the indifferent is 23.4, and the unsupported is 61.4; in Scotland, the unsupported is 8.4, the indifferent is 21.5, and the support rate is .1. As before, not commenting is just to list the data, and the intention is not to be "sinister".

Such a survey is really meaningless. Even random sampling of individuals does not represent the opinions of the entire region, but readers eat this set, so it caused another discussion.

Finally, even Adrian, who has not expressed any opinion on this matter, finally said a few words after being questioned by the reporter.

“It’s just a movie, it’s a story. It’s not exactly history. Any adaptation is a re-creation. You can’t completely ask it to meet certain facts you believe. I understand their mood, and I agree. Any historian can pick out dozens of mistakes-in fact, movies about historical subjects have always been so, and picking mistakes is easy-but I don’t think there is anything wrong with making such a movie It is better to think about how to introduce the real history to movies that have been puzzled by watching movies, instead of thinking that this promotes a wrong history." Adrian said so.

Of course he understands what the British are thinking, and has a little bit of complacency in his heart. Although Mel Gibson also caused some controversy, he did not make the world like him. After all, the British probably have a feeling of betrayal. Until then, Adrian has always been called by an American director who knows the UK best. From "Howard Manor" to "Emma", it is a good expression of that kind. British manor style, British people will inevitably have a sense of pride towards Americans. As a result, this kind of pride will be more exuberant, and correspondingly touted Adrian, just like touted the British character Gwinnie Just like that.

But now, William Wallace, the traitor at the time and Scottish independence was used as the subject of the film, and the title of freedom is also used. If you are not angry or angry, it is absolutely false, although Scotland cannot be independent now. Going out, but this kind of topic is still quite annoying, especially if you will promote the wrong history to other countries-don't underestimate the propaganda role of movies. Therefore, the British will have this feeling of betrayal, even if the previous praise is largely wishful thinking, the attack will spare no effort.

Of course, Adrian is not in his heart. There are several themes in his head. It is easier to make the British to tout themselves again than to eat and drink, so continue to fight, the more intense the better, keep When the movie is released, the box office will naturally be much higher. You should know that the box office of "Emma" has been plummeted by major film companies competing for the Christmas-New Year file, but because of this battle, there has been no small pick-up, then one can imagine How many people will enter the theater as soon as "Brave Heart" is released?

The Larry sports car stopped at the door of the hotel. The limited edition attracted the attention of many people. A handsome Adrian in a bow tie and a suit got out of the car, threw the key to the parking attendant, and went straight to the familiar Baccarat hotel, where he had already participated in too many parties. , Almost knowing the direction with his eyes closed.

"Is there anything I can do for you, Mr. Adrian?" Which Terry is still the lobby manager? Mabus, he greeted him for the first time with a smile and a more respectful look than before.

He is also looking at how Adrian has turned from a common and rich young man into a great man today, so even if there is nothing, he will step forward and ask a sentence to make a good impression.

"Nice to meet you, Terry, you look pretty good." Adrian smiled and greeted him while walking towards the elevator.

"That's because it can provide the best service for the guests." Mabus responded decently. He seemed to have no other requirements for Adrian. He was about to leave but was called again.

"Wait, Terry," Adrian seemed to think of something, a hint of nonchalant smile on the corner of his mouth, "something may need your help."

He beckoned, walked to the secluded corner with Mabus, and looked around again before whispering in his ear.

"I see," Mabus immediately smiled attentively, "I'll let someone arrange it immediately."

Adrian took out the checkbook and pen from his arms, brushed it a few times quickly, and tore it off and handed it in front of him: "Don't get out of the way."

"Please be assured that there will be absolutely no problems," Mabus took away the check, and there was something more in the smile that only men could understand, "same as before."

"Same as before." Adrian smiled meaningfully, and then strode toward the elevator that had already arrived.

Straight to the blue hall on the fifth floor, the reception has just begun, and all guests are here.

"Hey, Ed, you are finally here." As soon as he entered the hall, a voice rang out, and Harvey Weinstein walked over with a slightly fat little beard.

"Your eyes are always so sharp, Harvey." Adrian smiled and patted the other party.

"It's far worse than you. You're a big man, a big man who can make the British and Americans quarrel." Weinstein said with a smile, he is always good at public relations.

He was talking and pulling Adrian before coming to him. Among the few people he talked to, they were all familiar with Adrian.

Jerry Bruckheimer, Don Simpson, a Paramount manager and an independent producer, but unfortunately Michael Bay and Nicolas Cage and Sean Connery are not here because of something. Otherwise, several of the main creators of "Dragon Island" are all together.

Don? Simpson’s face didn’t look very good, a little gray, it’s no wonder, he only struggled back from the death line for two weeks. Speaking of which, the butterfly wings are really confusing. Although Adrian reminded Simpson, the other party didn't care about it. When they want to suck, they still suck. But Brookheimer listened to it. Adrian had also heard about the retrieving of Raven Phoenix from the death line, so he often reminded Simpson.

When Brookheimer thought of this and went back to his house again, he just happened to be in a state of spasm due to overdose~IndoMTL.com~ and the female partner was trembling in the narration and had no idea what to do. Brookheimer, who had a little first-aid knowledge, did emergency treatment immediately, and then called the ambulance, which rescued Simpson.

"If it wasn't Jerry, I'm afraid I wouldn't be standing here to chat with you today." Simpson sighed when talking about this, "so I'm sorry I can't stay too long, nor drink."

"It doesn't matter, Don, I think everyone understands it, doesn't it?" Weinstein said with a smile.

"It is true, you have to take care of your body, Tang, but I still have a lot of ideas, I hope you and Jerry can make a movie as good as "Dragon Island". Adrian also said so .

The reason for this is that Simpson is more transparent than Brookheimer in some aspects. Although Brookheimer can accurately capture the audience's psychology and those commercial elements in the production, Simpson has a little What he didn't learn, that is the grasp of the American spirit.

Simply put, it is to grasp the appetite of the mainstream society while focusing on business. For example, in the production of "Dragon Island", Brookheimer opposed the participation of the military, but Simpson chose to support it. Michael Bay.
