Birth of an actor

"Jane stayed at the stylist for four full hours, are you more exaggerated than her?" After staying on the red carpet tens of meters away for 10 to [-] minutes, she dealt with several important media such as "Variety Show", After leaving enough space for all the media to take photos, Brad Pitt mocked William's finale (late?) appearance as soon as the group entered the Chinese Theater.

But before William could speak, Jennifer Aniston took down her husband's platform first: "I remember that you only spent four or 10 minutes less than me at the stylist, dear."

"..." Brad Pittwa, who was dismantled by his wife in seconds, was happy and silent.

"Actually, it was Kim Kexi who ruined one of my trousers before leaving the house. I had to find another pair of the same trousers." William shook Jin Kexi's right front paw in his arms, and heard the owner call his name. The cat also gave a cooperative "meow".

William held Jin Kexi's paw and looked at it: "I'm not complimenting you at all, little destroyer."

"Meow?"

"I don't know if you can understand what I'm talking about, anyway, I can't understand what you're talking about." William continued to hold it in a position that made Kim Kexi feel comfortable, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "I really don't know how Lance managed to communicate with you without barriers."

——Although William is its owner, Kim Kexi is as well-behaved in front of Lance, as if he knows that Lance buys the canned food and cat food it eats when William can't spare time.The amazing thing is that William often knows that he is hungry and wants to go out to play in the yard when he sees Kim Cosey standing next to the food bowl or scratching the door. Know what it wants.

I don’t know if it’s because of the aura, but when William and Lance are both around, Kim Kexi will be more clingy to Lance, and will meow around Lance’s legs when Lance appears... Really no Comparison does no harm.

"You have the exact same hat as Kim Cosey, so cute." After a little compliment on William and Kim Cosey's look tonight, Jennifer Aniston asked the question she cared about: "The hat on the head Has the wound healed yet? There was a photo of you with half of your face covered in blood that was secretly taken by a reporter. God knows how scared Brad and I were when we saw the news. Call your cell phone and Amon told us We were relieved when you were not seriously injured."

William took off his hat and showed her that the small piece of injured skin had completely healed, and the scabs had fallen off a few days ago. The new skin looked very pink, except that the color was slightly paler than the surrounding skin. There is not much difference except for the whitening of the powder. As for the lighter color of the skin after the wound is healed, the problem should be solved after the skin grows well and sunbathes for a few days.

Aniston took a closer look at the small piece of skin, stroked his chest and let out a sigh of relief: "It doesn't look like there will be obvious scars, that's great. But, Will, how are you filming? When did you hurt your forehead? Whether it was in the news or in the newspapers is too vague, I really want to know what happened at that time."

Although Brad Pitt has not participated in the dialogue between William and Aniston, he also cast a concerned look at this time.

When he heard that William Bradley injured himself because of filming, to be honest, Pitt was not surprised at all.

As early as when he worked with William in "Fight Club", Pete knew that he had a hard work when making movies, especially after he was completely integrated with the characters, what he said and behaved was completely what the characters thought and thought The way he did it—no, or William has a crazy energy, which can be seen from the fact that he was really punching to the flesh when he dealt with the fighting scene.

Therefore, Brad Pitt is not surprised that William was injured again, but he felt that it sounded a bit too serious to get himself covered in blood and even almost disfigured-he really knew the reason and process very much. curious.Well, maybe there is still a little bit of surprise and admiration, but he will not admit it voluntarily.

Stared at by two pairs of big curious eyes, surrounded by countless pairs of pricked up ears, William succinctly told the story of his injury again.

……

The scene of the injury took place in a scene between William and Paul Bettany, the British actor who played John Nash's roommate Charles in the film - of course, it was gradually revealed that Charles was not a real The existing character, he is Nash's imaginary roommate, a fictional character created by Nash in order to alleviate the loneliness of campus life, anxiety and escape from failure, and it is also one of the important proofs that Nash suffers from schizophrenia.

John Nash has been in a state of anxiety since he entered Princeton University.Nash claimed to be a great mathematician who would not follow other schools and could discover his own truth, but at that time he only had a rough idea of ​​game theory and lacked key breakthroughs; Many, he is not the best among them, Hans who received a scholarship like him is very arrogant, and other classmates can't get along with Nash; because he thinks the professor's class is useless, Nash never goes to class, but he The delay in achieving success has also attracted dissatisfaction and beatings from the professor.

Before the filming of this scene started, William was analyzing and deconstructing Nash's supposed mental state at this time - the cynicism of competing mathematicians, the isolation of his classmates, and the incomprehension of the professor, all because Nash had not yet acquired the ability. Convincing achievements, Nash is well aware of this, and he himself is very eager to stand out, so he must be more eager to invent his own original theory as soon as possible, eager to the point of almost obsession.

When Nash was under heavy pressure and was doing research desperately, but he didn't get any rewards, the pressure from the outside world and the anxiety in his heart also began to swell, and when negative emotions accumulated to a certain extent, it was easy to break the embankment.

William believes that this outbreak should be regarded as Nash's first mental breakdown, and it also paved the way for him to be found to be ill later.

Nash, played by William, has many shots of writing and drawing mathematical theorems on the dormitory windows, and this time is no exception, but when his anxiety surges and his sanity gradually disappears, the characters on the glass windows become more hateful, like He was laughing at his failure and incompetence—so he was excited (or he didn't grasp the scale well), and his forehead hit the window heavily, directly smashing the glass windows with calculation formulas written on it.

Paul Bettany, like the director and others, thought that William would probably destroy the window—the glass window in the dormitory was almost Nash’s second desk, and taking the table to vent his anger when he failed was also a common routine in Hollywood movies— —But they didn't expect that William didn't hit him with his fist, but directly on his head.

That scene happened so fast that Paul Bettany didn't have time to stop it. He didn't even need to act deliberately to interpret the astonishing performance faithfully. Director Ron Howard couldn't remember it for a while because of the impact of the picture. They stopped, and when they came back to their senses, the blood overflowing from the wound was already dripping down their chins.

……

"Jesus!" Jennifer Aniston covered her open mouth in shock: "Didn't you feel hurt at the time?"

"It didn't hurt at the moment of the injury, I just felt a chill on my forehead, and the pain came up after a while." Because there was a media meeting after the film screening, William had already put his hat back on.

The voices of William and Aniston were not loud, but since they were surrounded by Hollywood professionals with sharp eyes and ears, if the Hollywood media ranked the "Most Professional Actors List" in the future, William would probably appear on the list. It's not unusual either.

"Like when we were filming "Fight Club," did the foot that you almost broke my nose hurt?" Brad Pitt suddenly smiled and asked as if he was just chatting.

"That's right, it's the same as the one when you 'got too deep into the drama' and almost broke my ribs." William also smiled.

The two had the same smile arc, and they touched their fists in a tacit understanding.

But this half-hearted smile made others feel chills, even Jennifer Aniston was no exception. The director and producer of "Meet Your Father-in-Law" even muttered in his heart: "I thought I could invite The other party's cameo movie, at least as good friends, but Will and Brad feel like the live-action version of Gaylord and Kevin... Could it be that they can't help but follow the state of filming? '

While talking, the lights inside the theater have gradually dimmed, and the noisy theater has become quiet, and even the whispers have gradually become inaudible. Because of the strong cast of "Meet Your Father-in-Law", countless people are looking forward to seeing the Hollywood veteran What kind of movie will be like with all three generations of superstars in the middle and young generations, especially if it is a comedy theme, it makes people even more curious.

……

The Cosby family, who live near Sunset Park in Brooklyn, New York, also came to the nearest movie theater today. Mr. Cosby originally wanted to watch "The Charge", which was just released a few days ago, and that was his favorite type of movie, but Reluctantly, Mrs. Cosby and her daughter Lily were both big fans of William Bradley, so he had to buy three movie tickets for "Meet Your Father-in-Law" with him.

While queuing up at the ticket window, Mr. Cosby felt that there were a lot of people in the movie theater today. By the time they bought family-sized buckets of popcorn and Coke and entered the screening hall, [-]% of the seats were already full, and there were still more people. Spectators holding popcorn and drinks like them are coming in from the entrance.

"Why are there so many people..." Mr. Cosby muttered to himself in surprise.

What surprised Mr. Cosby was not only the nearly full attendance tonight, but also the age range of the audience, ranging from gray-haired elderly couples to middle-aged people like him to those who looked twenty-something. Young couples between the ages of 30 and teenagers like Lily who have just passed the age allowed to watch movies, fans of different ages gather in a screening hall, which looks surprisingly lively and harmonious, as if this is a G Rated movies instead of PG-13.

"My dear, your question is so stupid, look at the cast!" Cosby found their seats, and while answering her husband's stupid question in a funny way, he put down the popcorn bucket and sat down.

"OKOK, I know there are Bradley, Pete, and Aniston in the movie—" Mr. Cosby muttered as he sat next to his daughter, and couldn't help but glance at the elderly couple next door : "But I don't know that their fans kill the entire age group."

"Hey young man, I'm not their fan, although my wife also thinks these two star boys are handsome and charming, and bought two DVDs of "Titanic" and "Shakespeare in Love" to take home for collection." Some of the gray-haired older men smiled at their wives: "But we saw the TV trailer and thought it was very interesting, so we decided to go to the cinema."

"We have two daughters, and we're both bringing our boyfriends home for the first time this Christmas." The older woman went on to explain, "Although Christmas is still two months away, my husband and I have already started Nervous because we really didn't know anything about our daughters' boyfriends, we hadn't even seen a picture other than the name, and then we saw the trailer for the movie on TV—"

"The preview is very exciting, and I hope the movie will be just as interesting." The older man shook his wife's hand and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, we haven't been to a movie theater for a long time."

The older lady also looked back at her husband with a smile: "Yeah, I hope this movie can relieve your nervousness and stop staring at the calendar in a daze."

Mr. Cosby remembered that he had watched the trailer more than once (with his wife holding the remote control). The kind-hearted stupid son-in-law is vividly portrayed, and the father-in-law played by Robert De Niro is even more shrewd and strict. Although there are not many scenes in the story, Mr. Cosby has already reminded Mr. Cosby of his father-in-law...

Although Mr. Cosby was very jealous of his wife's behavior of staring at William Bradley, who was only wearing one size smaller in tight briefs in the trailer, he had to admit that the film company used this The trick is very effective, especially for female movie fans. Look, isn't he just dragged into the movie theater by his wife?

After the lights in the medium-sized auditorium were dimmed, the film began to be shown soon.

From the very beginning of "Meet the Father-in-Law", it aroused everyone's interest with its amazing title.

There are many movies that use music to introduce the plot at the beginning of the movie, but there are very few movies like "Meet the Father-in-law", which even connects the lyrics with the logos of Universal and DreamWorks, and a chorus of "~ Look at the light from the earth~", and another sentence "~Look at the little boy sitting on the moon~" directly made a joke of the film company - as we all know, the symbol of Universal is an earth, and DreamWorks The LOGO is a little boy fishing on a crescent moon.

Then accompanied by a music full of 70s jazz style, Jennifer Aniston with long blonde hair and sweet smile appeared, a series of silhouettes of Aniston's life shots, the shaking pictures and too close distance, and The affectionate song immediately tells the audience that these pictures are short life documentaries taken by the boyfriend for his girlfriend, and the couple must be very happy in love, otherwise the heroine played by Aniston would not be smiling in front of the camera like this happy.

——There are many movie fans who immediately recognized that the opening song was sung by Randy Newman.Born in the 40s, Newman is a well-known singer and composer in Hollywood, and this kind of jazz music that incorporates some blues elements is exactly the style he is good at.

The fans who heard the singer clicked their tongues secretly: I didn't expect that this movie even hired such a famous composer!

After introducing the sweet heroine Jennifer Aniston and her boyfriend William Bradley with a romantic and humorous opening song, the film quickly enters the official plot, and William Bradley makes people feel as soon as he appears. People spray rice.

In front of the hospital bed, Gaylord, a male nurse played by William, is simulating a marriage proposal with affection on his face, while the person who plays the proposed object is a white-haired old man who is seriously ill. When William said affectionately, "You Will you marry me?", and when the elderly male patient answered "Yes" solemnly, the cinema ushered in the first roar of laughter.

Although it was not a particularly fresh joke, all the audience was amused, because the contrast between William and the elderly white patient was too great, and it was too comedic.

——Actually, not all movies starring superstars are good movies. For example, "Walking with the Devil" co-starred by Harrison Ford and Brad Pitt a few years ago was a terrible mess, but this film brings together Hollywood The movies of the three generations of superstars, old, middle-aged and young, seem to have the right quality for their cast.

—Wait, it sounds like William Bradley never took a bad movie?

But this "Meet Your Father-in-Law", whether it is the small details of the opening title, or the extremely beautiful theme song, or the first appearance of William Brandley, all these make fans feel that the movie has not opened for 5 minutes. Time has already determined: this is not a bad film, but a good film made with sincerity.

From the appearance of the leading actor, Gaylord Fark, all kinds of unlucky things began to happen to him, and the film's jokes began to appear intensively, and this kind of funny is not the kind of spoof in traditional American comedies It takes off with playing cheap, the protagonists are crazy, interspersed with some typical "shit, pee and fart" movies with eroticism and foul language. This type of comedy once flooded the entire Hollywood and is one of the mainstream types of comedy movies. The arrangement of jokes in "Adults" revolves around the contradiction between the characters of the father-in-law and the future son-in-law. It is very real and not exaggerated, and some of them are even like cold jokes. It has a British humorous temperament.

For example, when the father-in-law played by Robert De Niro warned William not to sleep his daughter in his house, he used the metaphor of "managing your snake within 72 hours", which is connotative enough for adults who can understand it. Smile knowingly, and minors who don't understand will not feel embarrassed.

And the actor Gaylord played by William, like the opening song of the movie, is a "gentleman and friendly" "fool immersed in love", because he loves his girlfriend too much, so in Robert De Niro let When he went to test the polygraph, he obediently obeyed, and when his girlfriend offered to throw herself into her arms, he refused with difficulty, expressing that he would resolutely abide by the rules set by Robert De Niro.

When William was deliberately set up by Brad Pitt, who played Aniston's ex-boyfriend, to show up at a family pool party in a pair of skinny blue swim trunks, the man who resembled Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man The body immediately caused a sensation on and off the screen. Of course, Robert De Niro and others on the screen were embarrassed and ridiculed by the unfit underwear, but off the screen, besides laughing, there were More other voices—

"This is the most perfect combination of strength and beauty of a male body I have ever seen!" The female fans who studied at the Academy of Fine Arts couldn't take their eyes off the screen.

Some male movie fans gritted their teeth and said earnestly: "I know that CK's male models will wrap several layers of stockings in their underwear for photos, and Bradley must have stuffed them too!" Otherwise, the bag would be too big!

……

a few minutes ago.

When seeing a giant version of himself appear on the screen, Kim Cosey's whole cat frowned.

"Meow! Meow!" Jin Kexi stood on William's lap, his back arched high, all the hair on his back stood up, his gray-blue pupils stood up, and he yelled at the screen with teeth and claws.

"Hey Kim Kexi, don't be afraid, it's you." William quickly whispered into Jin Kexi's ear, regardless of the risk of being caught.

As a cat who has been trained by a pet trainer and has also made movies, Kim Cosey is usually very calm and flattering. He looks in the mirror at home or sees the occasional documentaries William made for him on TV. This time, it was probably because...Kim Kexi on the screen was too big, did he scare him?

The actors basically sat in the front two rows, and Kim Kexi made too much noise. When William saw the director Jay Roach sitting in the front row, he heard the voice for the second time and looked back to see what happened. He apologized to him, and rushed out of the theater with Kim Kexi, who was about to jump off.

So now, while the audience is laughing at the funny movie story, William is holding Kim Cosey outside looking for his car, which has a cat house made of cloth, and opens the car window A little space for air circulation should be enough for the remaining few 10 minutes of Cosey's cat in there.

However, behind his Lamborghini, William found a very familiar white Koenigsegg.

This kind of Koenigsegg with extremely coquettish and smooth body lines, vertical scissor doors and eye-catching white body, at a glance, knows that the price is definitely more than 300 million dollars, even on the Hollywood Walk of Fame where there are many luxury cars. rarely seen.

What's more, William's friend also owns a very similar car.

Soon, two faces, one big and one small, were pasted on the window of Koenigsegg.

William squinted his eyes and looked inside the car to see if anyone was sitting inside.

——William gave Lance the ticket for tonight's premiere, but he didn't see the other party when the film was about to show. William thought that Lance was too busy to come out, but unexpectedly, he was at the entrance of the Chinese Theater See a supercar that looks like Lance's new car?

"Meow meow." Probably because the smooth body made Jin Kexi feel both interesting and uncomfortable. It waved its furry paws towards the car window desperately, and most of the cat's body stuck to the window.

"Could you stop Kim Cosey from pointing his balls at me again?" The white Koenigsegg's roof opens to reveal Lance Roderick's over-delicate profile, with his signature soft blond hair.

"Huh?" William glanced at Kim Kexi, whose belly was now exposed to Lance, and his limbs were still wide open: "Don't worry, Kim Kexi shouldn't mind being stared at by you."

"..." Lance Roderick, who was speechless, sighed, opened the car door and walked out.

"Let me just say, why does this car look so familiar." William hugged the Himalayan cat, which was waving its paw more vigorously and meowing at the same time: "No wonder Jin Kexi has been scratching the car window. It's your taste."

"The meeting has been extended." Lance explained the reason why he didn't have time to attend the premiere, and asked William by the way: "It's you, why did you run out of the theater halfway?" If the shareholders of the company stop quarreling and end the meeting, whether he can appear on Hollywood Boulevard tonight is a problem, but there is no need for Lance to tell William about these insignificant things.

"It's Kim Cosey who can't stay inside anymore." William explained Kim Cosey's behavior in the theater just now.

"Meow~meow~" The Himalayan cat was still moving back and forth uneasily, and William had to put it on the ground first.

"Are you hungry?" Saying so, Lance took out a sealed small bag from his pocket, counted out a few pieces of cat food and put them in the palm of his hand. As soon as Jin Kexi smelled the smell, he began to walk around Lance legs spinning.

The two squatted down to feed the cat, and William was a little ashamed: "It's a good thing you have cat food with you."

After Kim Kexi finished eating the cat food in his hand, Lance put a few more cat food on the ground, then took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, and at the same time did not forget to point out the truth: "So I am the person Jin Kexi loves the most."

William shrugged resignedly: "I have given up competing with you for this position."

After Kim Kexi was no longer hungry, William put it in the cat house on the back seat, and opened a quarter of the car windows on both sides, and saw that Kim Kexi was lying on the soft bed. After squinting his eyes on the mat and starting to doze off, he and Lance returned to the Chinese Theater together—there was a small media meeting after the film screening, and William couldn’t drive Lance and the cat slippery car.

The movie had already been shown for most of the time, and there was a lot of laughter in the hall. The two went straight in and sat in the last row without attracting many people's attention.

William in the movie is constantly making embarrassments. He was eager to please his father-in-law, but he was self-defeating. He almost set the house on fire, lost the cat again, and described himself as disgraced and embarrassed.

Perhaps it is because William seldom plays the role of a small character in this kind of comedy movie. The reaction of fans is far greater than expected. As long as he has a little funny scene in the film, there will always be a burst of laughter. It seems that every movie theater There was a burst of laughter every few minutes, as if someone had filled the hall with canned laughter ahead of time.

For a moment, William didn't know whether he should feel proud or embarrassed. The proud was because he did a great job as an actor, while the embarrassed was because Lance saw his most embarrassing scene in the movie...

And Lance watched directly from the second half of the film, and actually watched it with relish, and chuckled a few times from time to time.

William wondered if he really had the talent to be a comedian?Or after the premiere, Amon can contact the producer of "Friends" to see which season is suitable for him to make a cameo.

Just when William's thoughts were diverging, he suddenly touched something cool and smooth on his chin, and when he almost stood up in shock, he felt a slight air current on his neck.

"Don't move, your bow tie was probably pulled crooked by Kim Cosey, I'll help you retie it." It was Lance's voice.

It turned out that the cool and smooth touch came from Lance's hair, and the slight and warm air flow was Lance's breath.

William was stunned for a moment, then relaxed, and thanked him in a low voice.

In fact, the bow tie can be fastened in a few tens of seconds, but I don't know if it is because of the flickering light in the theater that it took Lance a little too long.

The hair on the top of his head shook slightly, making William's chin itchy.
