Movie Master

The screening of Ocean's Twelve ended, and the audience stood up and gave a standing ovation. The entire Chinese/Chinese Theater looked very lively, and the applause lasted for two minutes before it stopped. For a commercial film, this is undoubtedly a perfect premiere, and it is impossible to pick out any shortcomings.

Standing directly in front of him, Brad looked at the dark crowd in front of him, with a satisfied smile on his face, looked sideways at George, raised his chin slightly, and said proudly, I just said, we will succeed. of.

George moved his hands gracefully. Seeing Brad's eyes, words of pouring cold water came to his lips—they are not young children anymore, and they should all know that the prosperity in front of them is only part of the publicity, and the real feedback is still I have to look at audience ratings and film critics' evaluations, and I am proud of it now, which is really too impatient. However, George glanced around from the corner of his eyes, and it could be seen that Brad was clapping his hands vigorously, his legs were slightly spread apart, and he was standing confidently and strongly, and he could feel the integrity of his body in every gesture. Energy, the words swallowed at the end, why would he ruin the moment? What's more, more than anyone else, he hopes that The Twelve Arhats will be successful.

So, George also smiled at Brad, expressing his response.

In a blink of an eye, it entered the questioning session, and the enthusiasm of the reporters made the atmosphere even more brisk. This is the reporter's questioning session, not a fan meeting. Conan O'Brien's ridicule caused a burst of laughter at the scene, and then he The first opportunity to ask questions was given to the San Francisco Chronicle, but what is interesting is that the representative present was not the well-known Brian Barlow in the circle, but another reporter.

Brad, in this work, you and Catherine established a love line. May I ask if you asked for it? Because in the last work, only George was treated as a beauty. The first question The witty humor once again aroused the laughter at the scene, and Brad even showed a hearty smile on a rare occasion.

Michael Katenbach, who was standing among the crowd, seemed a little uninterested, and didn't have much interest in the reporter's questioning session.

When Ocean's Eleven came out, the plot was wonderful, the characters were vivid, the rhythm was tight, the story was attractive, and the humor the size of a sesame seed was really eye-catching. A gluttonous feast, so the film's success was completely expected; but tonight's Ocean's Twelve was a big disappointment, the main plot line seemed chaotic, and the structure of the twists and turns became a mess because of the lack of reasonable thinking ; Too many characters want to be comprehensive, so that the narrative rhythm is broken, the all-star cast becomes a burden, the whole story becomes fragmented, and both the plot and the concept are completely reduced to mediocrity.

To be honest, during the movie watching process, not only did his mind wander frequently, he even felt a little sleepy. Not funny, not exciting, not exciting, not even a climax, the movie is lackluster. Even the personal charisma of George and Brad can hardly support the entire movie.

Michael shifted his gaze to the reporters. Sure enough, as he expected, all the questions were focused on the actors, and the topics related to the movie disappeared completely—it wasn’t that the reporters didn’t want to mention it, but there was really nothing to ask.

Most of the questions were similar, Matt, I heard that you were working too hard on 'Bourne Bourne 2', so you offered to cut scenes, but it was not agreed, Brad, while filming this work , you are still busy with another work, may I ask how you take care of it, George, with such a huge cast, is it possible to shoot a sequel in the future, Catherine, as a new character, you and Zhu How is Leah getting along...

All the questions revolve around the actors, hoping to drive the atmosphere of the scene through the interesting stories of the actors-of course, the strong cast is the biggest bargaining chip of Ocean's Twelve. However, Michael turned his head to look, and the audience at the scene had already begun to lose their minds. Many people lowered their heads and were busy with their own affairs, and even a small part of the audience left directly by taking advantage of the bathroom.

The atmosphere at the scene was still lively, but it seemed a little loose.

Warner Bros. worked up and down, and the publicity and public relations were in place. The questioning session was full of flowers and lively. More than 200 reporters had no silence. Coupled with Conan's hard work, some laughter broke out at the scene from time to time, but it was like the emperor's new The clothes are so-so-very gorgeous, but no one can see it.

The questioning session lasted for half an hour and finally came to an end. Michael looked at the stage in front of him. About 50 reporters swarmed up and surrounded the star-studded cast of Ocean's Twelve. But other than that, other reporters had started to leave the stage one after another. Without any hesitation, he turned around and left the Chinese/Chinese Theater.

Standing on Hollywood Boulevard, there are crowds of people in sight. Hundreds of thousands of people burst out in an instant, making the whole road crowded, but the emptiness and desolation after the noise are inexplicably in the air. It slowly began to spread, and different expressions could be seen in the sight, and fragmented voices came from the ears.

George and Brad are so handsome!, It's so boring, I almost fell asleep, How do I feel after watching the movie, I didn't see anything, and I didn't have any impression in my mind, Catherine- Zeta-Jones is so sexy/sexy, So many stars are in a mess, it feels like no one can see clearly, At least I saw so many stars, I would have gone to the Los Angeles theater if I knew it earlier... …

The loss, bewilderment, and discouragement after the excitement flickered in the neon lights of the night, and the despondent atmosphere was like water vapor in the middle of the night, lingering, forming a mist, invisible and intangible, but wrapped around everyone's ankles . The audience spread out in different directions, and it seemed that the space became empty in a blink of an eye. If the red carpet under their feet was still dazzling, it seemed that today was just an ordinary day.

Michael! A voice came from a distance, Variety Show reporter Rex-McCain (Rex-McCain) walked up quickly with a mobile phone in his hand, and he and Michael attended today on behalf of Variety Show The premiere of Ocean's Twelve, but the two people are located in different areas, Michael, everything is over. I'm going to drive the car over now. I plan to go back to the office and write the manuscript. How about you?

Hey, Michael. A person trotted past quickly and greeted him incidentally. It was Mark Caro, a film critic of the Chicago Tribune.

Michael looked at the direction of Mark running, “Hey, Mark, where are you going?”

Mark turned around and ran two steps backwards, Los Angeles Theater. After finishing speaking, Mark turned around again, ran away quickly, and then disappeared into the crowd.

Michael raised his eyebrows curiously, and looked back at Rex, How is it going at the Los Angeles Theater?

Rex waved his right hand and showed the mobile phone in his palm, The audience still hasn't left the venue. This made Michael look surprised, I heard that 'Murder with a Borrowing Knife' is beyond imagination, and many people mentioned it. 'City of God'. Rex had contacted his colleagues just now, and was quite curious about the situation there.

Michael thought for a while in silence, as if he had made up his mind, I'm planning to go over and have a look, how about you?

Rex shrugged, Why not?

When Michael and Rex arrived at the Los Angeles theater, the audience had already started to leave one after another. They parked their cars on the side of the road at random, and the two walked towards the entrance of the theater.

God, have you ever seen Tom like this? The eyes can kill!

I think Lance is the biggest surprise, unimaginable, really unimaginable.

Yes, yes, do you remember that scene? Max went to meet the gangster boss, God, I almost had a heart attack...

The bustling shouts were floating in the air, and several young people were gesticulating and discussing, stopping from time to time to talk about it with foam splashing, and there was no cover for the flying look between their brows. Michael's footsteps couldn't help but slowed down, Oh, oh, I'm sorry, an apology came from directly in front of him, Michael quickly stopped his footsteps, in fact, he was distracted just now, and his eyes followed the movement of those young people, so that Forgot to look at the road, No, no, it's my fault. Michael quickly apologized.

Standing in front of them was a middle-aged couple. They nodded politely again to apologize, and then walked around, only to hear the man say, I never thought that commercial action movies could be made like this, Lan Sloat is a real genius, have you seen his use of light and camera?

I heard a reporter interview just now. Lancelot said that the relationship between the characters in the story is actually related to the light and the camera. The lady's elegant voice also had a faint hint of excitement, I think, let's go again on the weekend. Come and take a look, what do you think?

Of course! Or tomorrow night, call Alan and the others... The man's voice gradually faded away and gradually became blurred.

Michael! Rex's voice came over loudly. Michael looked back and found that he was already far behind. He walked up quickly, and then he saw Rex and Javier from New York Times Standing together, Javier took the initiative to say hello, but then left, I need to go back and write the manuscript, otherwise the time will be too late.

Don't be so anxious, what's the movie like? Let's see through! Rex grabbed Javier's arm and asked quickly.

Michael saw uncontrollable happiness and excitement bursting out from Javier's eyebrows, Wonderful! It's really wonderful! It's like... er, when 'Bourne Shadow' first came out? But, it's a different type Wonderful! Really! Javier's footsteps were almost jumping up, expressing his true emotions with his whole body, Stop talking, I really have to rush back, it's best to write the manuscript before the end of the midnight show Come out. After speaking, Javier trotted while waving hello, and disappeared into the crowd.

I'm so anxious. Rex shook his head and sighed.

Michael couldn't help but sighed softly, This is the real excitement.
