Birth of an actor

Jay Leno was referring, of course, to the backside nude scenes of William in Gattaca, the cleaning scenes.

When Jay Leno first mentioned Harvard's streaking tradition, William had a bad premonition, and now that he heard it, he was sure that Jay Leno was going to grab the part of the cleaning scene—late night For talk shows, especially the "Jay Leno Tonight Show", the guests will not prepare scripts for the guest session, and there is no topic prompt. Generally, only the host knows what questions he wants to ask the guests. Sometimes, the host People themselves don't deliberately prepare questions, they just count where they talk.

William didn't know if Jay Leno had prepared this question a long time ago, maybe it was, or maybe not, but there have been a lot of discussions about "Gait Shot" in the newspapers today, and maybe it suddenly inspired Jay Leno, but William didn't care He was a little mentally prepared for any question, and he replied jokingly: "No, no, it's not considered naked, because I only showed my back naked, and the front was not exposed at all."

As he said that, William looked towards the audience and asked with a smile, "Andrew didn't take a picture of my face, did he? Did he take a picture?"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" The audience, especially the female audience, shouted with dissatisfaction.

"It seems that you have all been to the cinema." William smiled and applauded: "Thank you, thank you for helping to contribute to the box office."

The audience was amused, and some people shouted in reply: "We will watch it the second time, the third time, and the fourth time!"

"Obviously we didn't have a feast for our eyes." Jay Leno continued to ask: "What about the staff during the filming, they must have feasted their eyes."

"I don't know, I hope not." William said, spreading his hands.

"I have the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Movie Review, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, USA Today, and a dozen other newspapers that were published today and mentioned the premiere of Gatta. "Jay Leno showed the newspapers in his hand to William, the audience and the camera lens: "Every newspaper mentioned your cleaning scene in the movie, and several tabloids even used this as a It's a selling point, and I was in the office this morning, and I heard enough female colleagues discussing this on twitter-yes, Kelly, it was you."

A woman wearing a radio headset in the audience, red from the face to the neck, but still rolling her eyes at Jay Leno on the stage was included in the camera.

After laughing at his colleagues, Jay Leno was in a good mood: ""Gait Lock" is a very good performance. I personally think that you contributed an unparalleled performance in it, but when many people talk about this movie, they are talking about you. If you want me to tell you that you should actually participate in the streaking event at Harvard this year, if everyone has seen your naked body before, they won’t be curious this time.”

William did not give a positive answer, but just laughed a few times in response to the occasion, so that he would not jump into the pit-Harvard's streaking tradition is twice a year, and it is not limited to only freshmen, if he said to Jay Leno "YES", and then Jay Leno said "Why don't you show us next year?"

"You're a New Yorker, you went to high school in Los Angeles, and now you're going to Boston." Jay Leno gestured and said, "Do you watch baseball? Which city's team do you prefer? The New York Yankees, the Los Angeles Dodgers, or the Boston Red Sox, Boston Bruins?"

"Of course I watch baseball. When I was young, my father often took me to watch the Yankees games. After moving to Los Angeles, I also watched a few Dodgers games with my friends. As for the Boston Red Sox, Patriots and Bruins, I haven't seen them yet. However, some Harvard games are good enough to satisfy me."

"Did you watch the Yankees and Dodgers games? But they're rivals."

"I used to be a Yankee fan, so I wasn't going to go into Dodgers Stadium at first, but once my friend got a few game tickets from home and was going to sell them for pocket money outside the stadium, but his asking price was too high." High, until the game was about to start and we had two left unsold, so he said hey why don't we just go in and see for ourselves, and I said why not, and then we went into the stadium to watch a Dodgers game. "William laughed to himself while talking.

"Wow, the Yankees and Dodgers, which team do you like better now?"

William looked at Jay Leno seriously: "You know, Jay, now I support the Los Angeles Lakers." The Los Angeles Lakers are a basketball team. A contract is signed.

"Hahahaha!" Everyone at the scene laughed together.

It’s been a long time since Jay Leno laughed so crazy at the recording site of the show. He thinks that William Bradley is really a witty, humorous and talented person. To be honest, he can behave so naturally on the show , there are not many Hollywood stars who can make the audience laugh without his efforts to create an atmosphere.

Jay Leno originally invited William Bradley on a whim in a bar because he saw William Bradley's popularity, Gattaca is another rare masterpiece, and it can be predicted that word-of-mouth topics will not be low. The effect was so good that it exploded, Jay Leno decided to repay the other party a little bit: "I heard that you are making a new movie now, is it called "Meet Joe Black"?"

"Yes, I'm playing a Grim Reaper in it." William picked up the water glass on the small table and drank the remaining half glass of water in one gulp. Just before the recording of the show started, he had to deal with it in the background With few people, the body began to lack water.

"Reaper? Would you wear a black cloak and wield a scythe to take people's lives? Can you tell us a little bit about the plot, I believe many people will be interested."

""Meet Joe Black" is not a horror movie. Although I play the god of death, it is by no means the kind that takes people's lives casually, but a god who knows nothing about the world, because the world of living things I came to the world because of interest, and then many interesting things happened. Of course, the most interesting point is how Death learned to love. Also, my partner is Anthony Hopkins, he is really an amazing actor, I learned a lot of skills from him."

Jay Leno suddenly smirked: "It sounds like a love movie. Are you in love with Anthony Hopkins in the movie?"

"I really want to do this—" William also curled the corners of his mouth, showing a mischievous smile, and deliberately amplified his volume.

"Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

"—but unfortunately not. I'm in love with a human woman."

"Oh——" the audience let out a loud disappointment.

"I heard that 'Meet Joe Black' was originally trying to cast either you or Brad Petrie, and you auditioned Brad Pitt for the part, and you got the part, is that true? "

Yet another trap question.Whether it's live or in front of the TV, among the people who last saw this episode of "The Tonight Show", do they like him more or Brad Pitt more?William did not dare to answer this question hastily, and he was not optimistic about himself, because after all, Brad Pitt has been operating in Hollywood for more than ten years, and he should be much stronger than him in terms of network and public base.

William opened a bottle of purified water, took a sip, and then raised his eyebrows and asked, "If I say 'YES', will I be beaten by the group when I walk out on the street after recording the show?"

"I don't know." Jay Leno shrugged and said, "It depends on how many loyal fans of Brad Pitt we have at the scene." Then he pointed to William and looked towards the auditorium: "You guys like Will more Still like Pete a bit more? Would any of you punch this handsome face?"

Almost half of the people yelled "NOOOO!" Not many, just a few here and there.

"It seems that your popularity is really high, Will, I can hardly hear my own voice."

William blew a kiss towards the audience: "Thank you, thank you for helping me smooth things over, and I will assume that you really like me more than Brad Pitt."

"Hahahaha!" Jay Leno patted his thigh and laughed wildly. He waited until he had laughed enough and saw that William drank almost half of the newly opened purified water before asking: "I guess you drink the most water since you appeared on the show." One of the guests, don't you want to go to the bathroom Will?"

"No, not yet." To be honest, William didn't guess what Jay Leno wanted to do when he suddenly brought up the topic of drinking water, but he soon knew.

"I think your girlfriend must be very sexually blessed." Jay Leno said meaningfully.

Well, it turned out to be praising my kidney function. "I don't have a girlfriend," William said.

"YOOOOOOOOO!" There was a booing sound from the auditorium, and the female audience shouted hoarsely: "I! Will! Will! Be! Your! Girl! Friend! Friend!"

"Did you hear? The enthusiasm of the audience!" Jay Leno said loudly, "You have to give me something, Will, or they won't be satisfied! For example, what is your ideal woman?"

"Uh, I don't know—"

"No, no, this answer doesn't even satisfy me. Or can you tell us about your last emotional experience?"

Last time?William's last girlfriend in gossip magazines was Claire Forlani, the heroine of "Meet Joe Black", but in reality William's last girlfriend was Claire Kellyt, it was a school romance, and William was sure that Jay What Renault wanted to ask was actually Claire Forlani, but because "Meet Joe Black" hadn't been closed yet, William didn't want to and couldn't talk too much about his partner on the talk show.

So in the spirit of entertaining himself to death, William cleared his throat and said, "I'm not particularly fond of talking about my love life in public, but I'm always open about talking about myself—"

"For example?" Jay Leno had a curious expression on his face, but what he thought in his heart was: What secrets will Will talk about himself?Probably not any breaking news, at most it is how old you lost the first time or whether you cheated in the exam or the like.

"I use Magnum." William said these words very calmly.

It took Jay Leno a full three seconds to react this time, which is really uncommon for a talk show host like him who relies on his mouth for food.But the audience was more stunned than Jay Leno. Some of them were stunned when they heard the word William said, while others probably didn't know what William said at all.

"Wow oh oh!" Jay Leno couldn't help screaming: "Did you hear that?" He looked at the auditorium and kept pointing his palm at William: "This man uses a Magnum! MAGNUM!"

Magnum (God of War) is actually a series launched by Trojan, the best-selling condom brand in the United States. The biggest selling point of this series is large size, super large size, super super large size (no medium or small size), so it is conceivable that Jay Why is Renault so excited, and what kind of crazy scene will become.

The atmosphere in the studio was indeed quite crazy. The women were screaming desperately, while the men, old and young, were all slapping their thighs and laughing wildly. Even the staff of the TV station were grinning and clapping fiercely.

The screams of the audience were so loud that Jay Leno tried several times to silence the people, and he finally couldn't help crying and shouting: "Quiet you bastards!"

This was obviously a joke made by Jay Leno, so the audience deliberately didn't buy his account. Instead, they laughed and screamed wantonly for a while, and then gradually calmed down.

""Gatta Gait" is currently in theaters. If you are interested, you can go to the cinema to watch it. Now, thank you Will. The time spent with you is really pleasant. Next, we will welcome the young rookies of the Major League Rugby—"Jay Reynolds stood up to see off William while announcing the name of the next guest to appear.

William shook hands with Jay Leno, and then waved away amidst the voices of the audience who were reluctant to stay. He is the first guest on tonight's show, followed by the second and third, "Jay Leno The style of "Talk Show" is like this. Each episode will invite two to three guests, political elites, social celebrities, Hollywood stars, and Hollywood stars. Each guest can only get ten to 15 minutes of time, but because of Jay Leno's The hosting style is very witty, humorous and fast-paced, so even if it is only 10 minutes, he can still shake all the burdens that need to be shaken, without making the show too long at all.

……

The summer vacation schedule has just passed, and the Christmas schedule has not yet arrived, because "Gatta Gatta" chose a relatively deserted premiere time, and among all the films released in North America in October, there is no one that can be its opponent—whether it is Sony's "Who Made It" or Warner's "The Devil's Advocate", or Paramount's "Kiss This Girl", are all low-cost and high-quality films, which cannot pose any threat to "Gait Shot".

A few days after the premiere, the weekend box office of "Gatta Gatta" was released, and it was very popular as expected. 2000 theaters, 2800 million box office, firmly sat on the top of the North American box office list, and because of ten As there are no other commercial blockbusters released this month, Gattaca should be able to continue to sit at the top of the list for a long time.

In terms of word-of-mouth, more than 8% of film newspapers and magazines gave four stars (out of five) or 9.2 ratings, and IMDB's rating even rushed to a high score of 9.2 on the second day of the premiere. As the number of movie viewers and ratings increased, it slowly slipped from 8.5 to around [-].

Roger Ebert of the "Chicago Sun-Times" commented: "There are two themes to be expressed in a film with advanced consciousness. One is that in a world where genes determine destiny, human nature will eventually defeat genes, and the other is that nature It is a great and unconquerable existence. If you want to use technology to conquer nature, you will definitely fail. It is a rare sci-fi masterpiece in recent years. Not only is the setting unique and innovative, but also the details are sincere. The broadcasting of the space center building in China does not use any of the common languages ​​in the world today, but the Esperanto invented in the [-]th century. The stairs that Jerome climbed in the film were designed in imitation of the spiral structure of DNA... all kinds of This kind of, you can see the intention."

"The most touching thing in Gattaca is the great friendship between Vincent and Jerome." The chief film critic of "New York Times", AO Scott, wrote an article: "When Vincent and Jerome Roma met, one used struggle and hard work to surpass the limitations brought about by genes, made life full of value, realized the dream of flying into space, and severely mocked the world of geneticism in the film, while the other , a decadent young man with a disability, while helping the former to resolve the identity crisis repeatedly, he also found the meaning of life again in the whole process, just like the touching line in the film 'I just lend you my identity , and you asked me to share your dreams.' This is the true picture of Vincent and Jerome's friendship."

The "Los Angeles Times" film critic Kenneth Turan said succinctly: ""Gatta" is my fourth favorite science fiction movie. The first three are "2001: A Space Odyssey", "Blade Runner" and "The Twelve Monkeys."

"Variety" film critic Todd McCarthy paid more attention to the performance of the actors: "Uma Thurman's performance is quite satisfactory, not as amazing as Mia in "Pulp Fiction", but also better than "Batman and Robin". Poison Ivy in "was much better."

"Gatta Gatta" is the first Hollywood movie of former Broadway actor Jude Law. A British actor with good looks is also good at playing a decadent young man with a sad past."

As for William, Todd McCarthy is full of praise: "William Bradley has contributed the most shocking performance ever! Every look of Vincent is clamoring for the unyielding and firmness of the soul! This It is a real diamond-level character, from the outside to the inside, every detail and every line is shining brightly!"
