Vol 2 Chapter 312: The Beautiful Legend of Sicily

Chapter 312 The Beautiful Legend of Sicily
Thanksgiving files have passed, but Christmas files have arrived, and Spider-Man's rapid progress has begun to slow down, so the box office war is still fierce, such as MGM, which has been completely supported by the 007 series. The nineteenth movie of the legendary agent James Bond: The Darkness Crisis!
That should make Sophie's popularity in Hollywood reach a high angle, but she had to give up because of Adrian's big belly, and then Zeta Jones got the recommendation of Adrian. M Although this film has nothing to do with him from production to investment, it is very simple to recommend an actor with Adrian's current fame and identity. Anyway, Bang Lang is basically a bottle, and you can buy a face from a miracle director. Why not?
Zeta Jones' performance is no worse than Sophie's. They have their own feelings and enchantments. Adrian can't understand this. In comparison, Zeta Jones played a more protagonist role, and at the same time he emphasized the viciousness more prominently, fully interpreting the meaning of the femme fatale. Although Sophie in the memory is also very good, it is indeed a little worse, but her melancholic temperament makes people hate it, even if she has done too many bad things.
"That's the difference." Adrian, who participated in the Dark Crisis premiere, said after watching the movie, and then celebrated Zeta Jones.
Of course, there are also similarities. The villainous Bang Lang is still full of decent Bang Lang, and I have to say that Denise Richards is indeed one of the worst Bang Lang. Film critics praised Zeta Jones a lot, and praised Bruce South a lot. They only praised Richards as poor, and the New York Post even called the dark crisis the worst 007 movie in 25 years.
However, this does not extinguish the passion for watching movies. The large number of loyal movies that the 007 series have cultivated over the decades. In addition, the quality of the movie is not really bad, and there is also the first gimmick who died under the Bond gun. So after it was released, it topped the North American weekend box office charts.
Even so, the dark crisis did not break through the three million days like Spider-Man, so even if it continues to be hot, it can't stop other movie companies from taking a share of the market, and Notting Hill was released at this time.
The last part of Julia Roberts ’love quintet, which has been beaten as an American icon by Adrian in advance-of course, this is the name between Adrian and Julia, and the public is still Julie Ya ’s another romantic comedy masterpiece—Notting Hill has received a lot of attention since the start of the film, not to mention a lot of gimmicks, such as a big star playing a big star, or a fairy tale love between a big star and a small person, but the most popular What stands out is Julia's 20 million pay.
This is the first actor to enter the 20 million club. You need to know that there are not many male actors who can get such high pay, and because of their inherent disadvantages, this does not mean that the 20 million club has opened up to them. No matter what, One thing worthy of a big book. More importantly, although the crew gave a 20 million pay, Julia is worth so much is still unknown. If the Notting Hill box office suffered a big loss, even if she entered the 20 million club, she would have to quit immediately. , So there are many people waiting to see the show.
"Let them wait and see." Adrian, who took Julia to the premiere, said this to her.
Inspirational stories are always welcome, especially inspirational stories that are close to life, and small people hold big stars. This is the type, even if this may happen in reality is very small, there are still many people who like to watch. Not to mention, Adrian also made a guest appearance in it, the self-interested producer boyfriend of star Anna in the movie.
The original version of this corner is also an actor, but since it is an Adrian guest, of course, it should be replaced by a production talent. Although it only appeared for a few minutes, when you came out, all the guests who knew him to participate in the premiere were filled with The curious voice exclaimed a few words, and even Julia, who was sitting beside him, couldn't help laughing.
"It seems that I'm acting well, Julie, you can make you so happy. {Hand, fight {{吧}" Adrian said ridiculously, but got a glimpse of Julia.
Frankly, his performance is actually very good. Adrian has always made guest appearances in his own movies, unlike Stan Lee ’s guest appearances that completely use himself as a living prop. This time Stan Lee ’s old man is in Spider-Man's guest appearances have not been cut off, playing an old man who Spider-Man passed by in front of him-Adrian's guest appearances are very significant. For example, the man who listened to A-Gump on the bench in the Forrest Gump, or the boss who warned that Andrew was still Andrew in the Matrix, the acting skills have also been relatively improved, showing the producer's frivolous appearance. Come out.
"You're just playing yourself." Julia then half-satirically told him, of course, she paid the price later.
This is a great gimmick, the scandal between Adrian and Julia is well known, and Julia was brought to the premiere that night, despite countless reporters and shots on the red carpet On the face, they still avoided answering certain questions, but their faces were clearly written: Yes, we are related, but we just do not admit it.
So when you see this paragraph, most people will feel happy and excited, especially Hugh Grant's reputation is far less than it used to be, and the audience will unconsciously replace their three real identities. Go in. Then the tabloid tabloids still smelled the wind, and made up a large plot of emotional entanglement between Grant, Julia and Adrian when filming Notting Hill.
Although I dare not write too much, there are some things that everyone can see. Write a few words based on this. Even the media tycoons don't care?
Adrian certainly wouldn't care. This is equivalent to advertising Notting Hill again, and these few episodes will not affect anything. Most film critics gave high scores. The media ’s Rotten Tomatoes website even scored 84. The Chicago Tribune thinks the film is cheerful and the dialogue is full of wisdom. The Los Angeles Times said that Julia and Grant are very good in the film.
Although the box office seems to be sorry for these comments in the first week, only about 26 million, but this is just the beginning. Which of Julia ’s romantic comedies is not a long stream? It's a matter of time before North America breaks 100 million.
"You see, everything is going according to plan, dear, and I will be directing for you next year, are you ready?" Adrian said to Julia proudly.
Of course, that's all for next year, even if it will take another half a month at most, next year, I still want to introduce this year's long-prepared movie.
This film is naturally the beautiful legend of Sicily which has been fully and carefully modified for Monica to impact the Oscar. It is not a good time for such a literary work to be released in December, although there are also many literary works Movies of this category were released at this time, but they all had a certain box office basis.
For example, American beauties, although they can be regarded as literary films, tell stories of the middle class in the United States. They can resonate with many people, and they will slowly be attracted as soon as they are read. Although the beautiful legend of Sicily was produced by the director of the miracle director, it tells the story of the Italian after all. Even if the plot is completely modified by him, many stories have been added, but this fact cannot be changed.
A movie is produced, either at the box office or at the awards. Even if the art fundamentalist directors in Europe who have no subject matter dare not shoot, they want to make countless people recognize themselves-even if they make a Vice does not need to be affirmed by others.
But the awards are not so easy to get. All of them are not described in detail. If you ca n’t get the award and do n’t have the most basic box office, then go to Europe to be a good director called maverick, and unpleasantly called a director of publicity .
However, art films want to compete for Oscars, and have to fight for release at the end of the year, so that their names continue to sound in the ears of the judges, so what should we do? There are two ways. First, it will be released at the end of October and early November to avoid the hot season of Thanksgiving-Christmas-New Year; the second is to choose a screening at the end of December to qualify for the competition, and then wait for this period to be fully released.
Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, the choice is up to the producer. In fact, Adrian hopes that the beautiful legend of Sicily will be released in late October, so that he has enough time to influence slowly, but who will let him produce the Lord of the Rings in New Zealand for most of the year? Therefore, although the beautiful legend of Sicily completed the filming last year, it did not complete the latter stage until the end of 1999, and finally had to choose the second solution.
It's okay, it's just a little more troublesome, and it doesn't matter much, of course, there won't be anything at the premiere.
"Look, it's full of people. They obviously think the movie is worth watching." Sitting in the movie theater, Adrian and Monica, who recovered well after giving birth, whispered.
In any case, this is the work of Director Miracle, and it is also the first movie he made in the past almost a year, and it is only released in a cinema. It is naturally full of people.
On the big screen, the storyline is more than a third. The photographer that was selected did a good job and fully met Adrian's requirements. Although Monica appeared not many shots, she was in the bones. However, the sense and style of the show are unmistakable, especially the real Malina and the imaginary Malena in the mind of the actor are exactly two looks.
In reality, Malina is dignified and feels dignified. Even if the boys whistle behind her, even if she is watched by many men on the street, she can still walk on the street calmly, which is unbearable Want to violate her at the same time. And in the imagination of the actor, Malina's feeling with endless teasing, as if greeting each other soon.
This forms a strong contrast and is very impressive. But if you thought that was the case, it would be a big mistake. Soon, Adrian designed one of the four most classic shots related to Malina for the whole movie.
Because her husband went to the battlefield without news, some men began to disturb her, and those in the town were jealous and hated her, so she was brought to court on charges of seduce her husband. No lawyer was willing to defend her, except for a bad old man. His defense was that it would be because Malina was so beautiful, and beauty was not guilty. The court accepted the explanation and declared Malina innocent, and then the wretched old man took Malina that night.
When she was sitting in the middle of the court, her eyelids were lowered, and although she tried to calm herself, the unspeakable sadness in the corners of her eyes made her feel pitiful.
But it was only the beginning, and the situation became worse and worse. The news of her husband's death came, the old father broke off with her, and then died in the air strike. Malina lost all financial resources and wanted to survive. There was only one in front of her. road.
This is another classic lens, and it is also the most proud modification Adrian made for this movie. It was even countless times when shooting.
Making a decision, Malina sat sewing little by little in front of the sewing machine, her mouth trembling slightly, her eyes filled with sorrow of refusal and indescribability, tears rolling down her cheeks silently, a piece, Two, she loves her husband deeply, and she has always believed that he will return, but now she has to take the initiative to do things that are sorry to him.
I've been here countless times, and even Monica, who has also had a dispute with Adrian, interpreted this shot to be almost perfect. The close-up of the tears falling down the cheeks produced a strong contagion, and not only the auditorium sounded With a low sigh, even Monica, who was sitting next to Adrian, couldn't help but clenched his hands, locked her eyes on the big screen, and fluctuated.
Adrian patted her hand comfortably, and then exhaled in her heart. It was very correct to let Monica perform with her limbs.
When Malina appeared on the town square, she just took out her cigarettes after sitting down, and numerous lighters reached out to her from the hands of all men. They were all excited about the idea to be realized all the time. The male actor Renardo, who was watching Marina, felt the sadness in her heart, but unfortunately he couldn't do anything. He could only watch her work around those men, and finally got into the German car.
Although he was also overwhelmed by Hor, and although he had the same affection for Malina in his heart, and therefore peeped at her life, stealing her underclothes, it was far more real, pure and beautiful than those people. Even though his father had to take him to the hospital and solve him in this way, he chose to be plump and imagined her as Malina.
Even here, Adrian still does not show a bit of excerpt in the film. He doesn't need to be too straightforward as a European director. It is not straightforward at all. Implicit is the most intriguing place. Of course, a technique was used here, when another actor was filmed, and then Monica's face was dug out with a computer in the later stage and stuck to her.
Then the U.S. military came, and a third classic shot was presented to the audience. The jealous people in the town dragged Malina out of the room as soon as the U.S. army arrived, beating her, abusing her, tearing her clothes, cutting her hair on charges of serving the German army, They forgot all the pain she had suffered, they just wanted to vent their anger caused by jealousy.
Fast switching and shaking the camera make all this look more realistic. She doesn't cover her body, her hair is cut off, and Malina curls up on the ground and screams in despair, making people look unbearable.
In the end, she was kicked out of the town and boarded a distant train like a walking dead, and these still fell in the eyes of Renado.
Here, the story took another turn. Malina's husband Le Nuo actually returned. Although he broke his arm, he did come back alive. When he was looking for his wife, he was laughed at loudly. Renado, the always onlooker, finally did one thing he should do. He told Leno, Malina's whereabouts in a covert manner, and told him that his wife loved him no matter how much he suffered. .
Finally, the end came. One morning, Leno took Malina to walk quietly across the town square. She didn't care about the eyes of others, clutched his wife's hand, and Malina leaned her head on her husband. On the shoulders of the people, they turned a blind eye to the people around them. The quiet appearance of the two made people feel emotional, and the applause in the projection room couldn't help.
The last classic shot came, and Malina, who had lived in her house and restored a peaceful life, came to the market to buy things. Although she was no longer beautiful, she was fat, and her eyes were wrinkled, but they still refused to talk to her and whispered as before, until Malina took the initiative to greet: "Good morning."
This is the first time in the movie that Malina spit out clear lines, and the close-up shot pointed at her face for a long time. There was no sorrow and no resentment, only the dullness smoothed by the years. Suddenly, the air became active, and everyone said hello to her ~ EbookFREE.me ~ She has become like them ...
On the way back, Malina's bag was torn, and the oranges fell to the ground. Renado stepped forward to pick it up for her but there was no extra word, just watching her leaving quietly, until the end he was No official appearance in Malina's life.
The beautiful legend of Sicily ended here. After the subtitles, the lights in the auditorium lighted up, silent for about five or six seconds, and loud applause rang out.
Anyone who can watch an art movie at this time is undoubtedly a fan of this kind of film-when it was promoted, it was already shown that this would be a movie similar to Howard Manor, so even Adrian You should also think about the die-hard movie-they all like to find the meaning of life from the movie. In the face of such a movie, it is normal to applaud.
Rao is so, this is also a matter of honour, after all, this is not the premiere, the audience comes from different neighborhoods, and they do not know each other.
"I said, this is a movie worth them to watch." Adrian, who hid his body, patted Monica's hand softly, and Monica returned a faint but emotional smile.
