Chapter 119: Killer

Taking off their sunglasses and putting down their handbags, Tom Cruise and his wife sat in the VIP box on the second floor of the theater, looked at the time when it was about to midnight, and waited for the movie that rejected them to start.
Compared with the gloomy Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman's face is slightly better. There is no special expression on her sickly white face. She is very clear that jealousy and anger can't solve any problems, Duke? Rosenberg's progress seems unstoppable. If "Independence Day" can get a global box office of about 500 million US dollars, it will inevitably establish the status of Hollywood's leading director.
Although the other party rejected her audition, and there was a verbal conflict with each other some time ago, Nicole Kidman didn’t want to care too much. Recently, the agent was looking for ways to close the relationship. After all, they had a good relationship. A director is far better than a relationship.
unfortunately……
The light blue eyes turned to the side. It was her husband. He didn't seem to have any plans to ease the relationship with Duke Rosenberg, even though Pat Kinsley reminded him several times.
Nicole Kidman knew very well that since Duke Rosenberg vetoed Cruise's appearance in "Independence Day" with a salary of 5 million US dollars, the good husband of his own picked it up again. In view of the grievances and grievances caused by "Brave to Death Island" and "Night Interview, Blood Ghost", he took the time to watch "Independence Day" tonight. He didn't like this movie much, just wanted to be the first Time to understand the details of the opponent.
Although Tom Cruise never mentioned it, Nicole Kidman could guess. He must have other actions in the follow-up.
Under the brilliance of Beverly Hills, there is always a lot of darkness hidden.
About 3 miles west of this theater, there is a mansion that has been guarded by paparazzi for the past year. The once world-famous spokespersons for gentlemen, under their pens and photos, turned into rotten goods that fell into the stinking ditch.
Sean Connery, sitting in the living room of the mansion, combed his hair neatly behind his head, and his beard and beard were not messed up. He looked like a real gentleman, but with gloomy eyes. Shining light that is hard to detect by others.
"Sean, do you really plan to do this?"
The opposite of Connery is his most trusted friend. At the same time he has been serving as his public relations, "This is not a small sum!"
"3 million dollars, it's nothing to me!" Sean Connery's words seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, "Jack. Contact all the well-known film critics. I want them to post about that bastard's movie. The most violent attack! Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox have no public relations film critics, presumably those vampires are also very dissatisfied!"
"Sean, do this..."
This person named Jack obviously has some concerns, "It will not do much good for your career."
"Career?" Sean Connery's teeth were almost bitten together. "Jack, do you think I still have a career? No matter how bad it is, can it be worse than it is now? My privacy has been exposed. Now, what can Warner and Fox do? Find someone to kill me?"
Jack did not answer. Things are like Sean Connery said, the gentleman image he relied on to survive in Hollywood was completely destroyed. The scandals were overwhelming, caa almost hid him, divorce and division lawsuits were endless, and he hadn't received any job for a year. This is the worst situation for Hollywood movie stars.
"Duke Rosenberg!"
The name was completely squeezed out of Sean Connery’s teeth, "Jack, I must see him unlucky! Seeing him finished! I have the exact news that there is his support behind the mother and son, for The famous lawyer they were fighting for the family property should have been found by Duke Rosenberg’s help!"
Even Sean Connery felt that his scandal was exposed, and he could not get rid of that guy, although there was no evidence.
"Calm down! Sean!"
The people who know these celebrities best are often their public relations and agents. Jack knows that Connery is an impulse. "What you need most now is calmness. Impulse can't solve any problems."
"Contact the film critic as soon as possible." Sean Connery took two deep breaths, temporarily suppressing his anger, "Especially Roger Albert!"
"Don't worry, I will do it now!"
Nodding to Sean Connery, the publicist strode out of the mansion.
A director, even a director with more experience that no one else has, wants to reach the highest level of the director's circle, and it is no less difficult than that of the terrestrial aliens in "Independence Day".
In this fiercely competitive circle, competitors will not just shout a few slogans in the air, and let go of them...
In the theaters of the Upper East Side in New York, the midnight scene of "Independence Day" has already begun.
A huge shadow enveloped the moon. The American flag and the surface of the moon kept trembling in the shadow. Irene held her breath and unconsciously held Anna's hand, and then she saw a huge spaceship flying towards the earth. , Reminiscent of the content in the trailer and the poster introduction, her hands trembled slightly, and the battle for the earth was about to start!
"Typical Duke Rosenberg style." Anna allowed Irene to hold her hand, but habitually began to analyze in her heart, "There is no gossip, let alone inexplicable incomprehension, the film is straight to the theme from the beginning , Without any muddle-headedness!"
"It's going to start!" Irene couldn't help but muttered.
Next to her, David Denby, a film critic from "The New Yorker", frowned tightly. The first scene at the beginning of the film was special effects, which was completely dazzling. This kind of film simply makes people unable to feel good. It's not that you can't use special effects in the movie, but just do it if you need it? Can't we adopt a gradual narrative approach?
"At the beginning, failure!" He scribbled directly on the notebook.
However, when the huge spaceship is getting closer and closer to the earth, the shots fully rendered with model making and cgi special effects aroused bursts of exclamation and admiration in the theater, just like when they saw "Junk" in the theater last year. The same as the Tyrannosaurus in Luo Ji Park. stunned.
This is the best special effects technology available today!
Anna, a film major, is convinced of this, and Sarah, a female reporter of the Los Angeles Times, is also convinced of this.
The film is still using parallel montages to explain the human life before the arrival of the alien spacecraft, and to portray several obvious protagonists. Duke Rosenberg’s best explosive scene has not yet appeared, but Sarah sitting in the Los Angeles City Cinema can be seen from the holding breath and extremely serious expressions of the audience around him. The film is very, very attractive. !
Hollywood, the White House, the Capitol, the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Empire State Building... countless landmarks across the United States are all shrouded in the shadow of alien spacecraft.
Over New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago and other big cities, the alien spacecraft revealed their true bodies after the blazing clouds of sunset glow dispersed!
From children to police officers to taxi drivers on the screen, everyone was stunned, and from New York to Los Angeles under the screen. The audience from Seattle to Miami was also dumbfounded!
This elaborate special effect, perhaps in Duke's eyes, is not quite satisfactory. But in the eyes of audiences of this age, that is the top and most real existence!
In the theater near the University of Southern California, Allen, Jones, and Cunites had wide-eyed eyes and opened their mouths slightly. Seems unbelievable things. Their expressions can only be described by one word-shock!
"God, save me!" Kunites held his chest, "With "Independence Day", how can you watch other special effects movies!"
"Duke Rosenberg, this is a special effects film destroying all of Hollywood!"
The fire gradually dissipated, and the film entered a slower transitional plot. Jones seized the opportunity and said to the two companions next to him, "This summer, the movie with special effects as a selling point will be over!"
"It must be finished!" Allen agreed.
What ordinary movie fans pay most attention to is naturally special effects. They are all waiting, waiting for the moment to witness the destruction of major cities and landmarks across America by aliens. Waiting to see the full version of the White House's ashes...
Sitting in a theater in Chicago, Roger Albert’s focus is definitely not on special effects. Although he is not a firm anti-special effects and big investmentist, as a film critic with a'very clever' vision, he must focus on other areas. aspect.
Such as the structure and narration of the film.
In addition to alien attacks and how humans respond to this theme, director Duke Rosenberg also started from the subtleties and grasped some of the most concerned issues of North American audiences, which can not only relieve the suspense and the big scenes. His nerves are tight, and it can also play a role in embellishing the theme and pushing the story forward, so as to use the limited space to portray the main characters with flesh and blood.
For example, the film celebrates family affection from several angles.
The federal presidents love their daughters. Duke Rosenberg emphatically described that the president has been thinking about his daughter and his wife. At many critical junctures, the president nervously asked his subordinates-where is my daughter-actually There are few shots in total, but the director easily made the image of "the president loves his own children" deeply imprinted in the minds of the audience.
Even if Roger Albert considers himself elegant and refined, he has to admit that the United States advocates the mainstream value orientation of "family first." The president's family is simply a model of the American family. Duke Rosenberg tried his best to describe the American president. The concept of "family first" will undoubtedly please mainstream audiences.
There is also the Latino pilot who used alcohol to dissipate his sorrows and slammed into an alien spacecraft bravely for his own children. The biggest reason he did this was not the illusory and false so-and-so doctrine, but to protect him. Own children, dedicated themselves to the family.
Roger Albert knows very well that this kind of sacrifice for family affection, even though it seems extremely clichéd, is often the most touching and unsatisfactory "tear gas" in the movie. It is a big film, directed by Duke Rosen. Berg designed this way, also to please the audience.
Yes, in his opinion, whether it is an explosion or a description of family love, Duke Rosenberg, the director, has always adhered to the mainstream value orientation and used the most vulgar and most annoying way to please the market and the audience. , But the most disgusting thing about the movie is another one!
And this scene has detonated the emotions of ordinary audiences across the United States, and it can be called the film's biggest killer except for special effects! (To be continued...)
