Birth of an actor

Although AO Scott has completed his review of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the Ring", he will not publish the film review on his blog until the "New York Times" is published.

However, some other film critics who do not need to contribute to newspapers and magazines have already expressed their opinions on the Internet.In the Internet age, the timeliness of network information dissemination is better than that of paper media has gradually emerged.

New Zealand, Wellington.Benjamin and a group of his friends went home after watching the movie. Although it was late, he was still in a very restless mood, so he threw himself directly in front of the computer and opened several websites that he frequently logged on to.

The local Lord of the Rings fan forum in New Zealand has exploded. There are at least a few hundred new posts today, but most of the main hot spots are still lamenting the magnificence of the premiere, and there are not many people discussing the movie. Benjamin browsed it a little , opened the more frequently visited IMDB website and Rotten Tomatoes website.

The degree of globalization of Hollywood movies is high, coupled with the English-speaking circle and the underdeveloped domestic film industry, New Zealand movie fans basically grew up watching Hollywood movies. To rate a movie, I am more accustomed to going to IMDB and other websites like Benjamin.

Hollywood movies have a great influence on New Zealanders. In fact, even many New Zealand directors and actors who are ambitious and want to break out of their own world will probably go to Hollywood to develop. The more successful ones include Peter Jackson and Russell Crowe.

After entering IMDB, Benjamin first habitually glanced at the website’s search popularity rankings for this month, and found that William Bradley’s name was still at the top. On the search list, that is the news.

However, Benjamin also found that Orlando Bloom's name jumped up a few positions on the weekly hot search list, and he will soon enter the top three. With the very eye-catching looks and agile skills in Reappearance - it is said that the action scenes were performed in person, without a double - Benjamin knew that the influence of this movie was gradually emerging.

The comment section of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" has become very lively, with so many messages that they cannot be counted, and several times when opening a new post, there was a problem, as if the website's New Zealand server was about to be overwhelmed.It's only the first day of the film's release, not even 24 hours have passed.

Benjamin noticed that almost no one gave the movie a bad review—oh no, one review that gave it a 3 looked like a bad review.

"The main line is weak, the plot is procrastinated, and I can't remember what was said at all. What's more, I watched the movie for almost three hours and there is no ending to the story!"

Except for this bad review, almost all other reviews are above 8 points, and quite a few people gave full marks.

"I give full marks to the visual effects. The picture and the soundtrack are so shocking. The whole row of us in the movie theater was stunned and didn't dare to blink. The second part can only be seen later, and the second is that there are too few shots of elf actors."

This fan gave it a score of 9.

"An epic masterpiece that cannot be described in words. The combination of sound and picture is perfect. It instantly puts people into the picturesque world of Middle-earth. The actors portray the characters very deeply. Gandalf's wisdom is powerful, and Aragorn's bravery Selfless, the hobbit's love and righteousness can leave a deep impression on people, the appearance of the elves with soft light is simply amazing, Glorfindel and Legolas are tailor-made for female fans Yes, Lord Jinhua must not miss the next two movies!"

This fan gave 10 points.

"The picture is magnificent and beautiful, the soundtrack is like the sound of nature, and the storytelling is quite epic. Relying on the Supreme Lord of the Rings, it uses magical factors to explore the greed of human nature. It is definitely the foundation of orthodox fantasy epic movies."

This fan also gave it a 10.

There are also some comments with a perfect score of 10. They did not comment on the movie, but gave the reasons for scoring "The leader of the Jinhua Lord is explosive!", "The elf prince is so handsome", "Absolutely shocking epic masterpiece!" , and excitedly expressed a series of complex mental activities such as being unable to sleep, wanting to go to the park to run laps, and climbing the stairs from the first floor of the Empire State Building to the top floor.

Benjamin clicked on William Bradley's personal page to see the latest news. What is surprising is that the proportion of purely nympho comments on the message board of the other party's personal page is even lower than that of "Lord of the Rings" In the comment area, most of the comments are discussing movies and evaluating characters. There are old movies and new movies, and some comments are very in-depth, and many IDs are male movie fans.

A considerable number of William Bradley's fans are men, which surprised Benjamin. He originally thought that he was not jealous of William's overly handsome face, but that he was a minority because he loved him very much. It turned out that he was A member of the majority group?

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that William Bradley never made a bad movie?

Benjamin guessed that William's masterpieces, such as "Scream", "The Truman Show", "Fight Club", and "Meet Your Father-in-Law", are also liked by more male fans than female fans. "Fight Club" has become more and more popular with the passage of time. If a college boy now says he has not seen this movie, his friends will despise him.

Just as he was about to close the page, Benjamin suddenly discovered that in the list of William Bradley's works, there was a new movie that was about to be released, and the date was just a few days later!

Recently, "The Lord of the Rings" has attracted all his attention. If he hadn't paid more attention today, Benjamin would have almost forgotten that the release date of "A Beautiful Mind" is also at the end of the year.

Benjamin is still very interested in this film that won William Bradley the best actor in Cannes, and I heard that this is a biographical film. Benjamin has always been very interested in biopics, "Citizen Kane" is the love of his life.He carefully browsed the page again, noted down the global release time of "A Beautiful Mind", and prepared to go to the cinema to watch it at that time.

……

Although he could not participate in the global publicity of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the Ring", after a brief meeting with the Prime Minister of New Zealand and before boarding the plane, William and all the main creators of the crew accepted an interview with New Zealand's largest domestic circulation newspaper " The interview with the New Zealand Herald was probably touched by the enthusiasm of fans at the premiere in Wellington. Everyone talked about a lot of interesting things that happened during the filming.

For example, Peter Jackson revealed that the shots of hobbits, dwarves and human elves appearing on the same screen in the movie are generally not completed with computer special effects post-production. In order to minimize the computer traces of the film, the crew recruited dozens of dwarf stand-ins Actors used dislocation and stand-in performances during filming. The advantage of this shooting is that the pictures are very real, but there are also flaws. For example, when using a dwarf stand-in, you can’t have close-up shots, you can only shoot long-range shots and close-ups of the face ——At the beginning of the film, Gandalf came to visit Baggins of Shire in a carriage. The scene where Frodo and Gandalf hugged and sat side by side with him in the carriage was made through complex shooting techniques and the use of doubles.

Ian McLean strongly "protested" the differential treatment of him by the costume designer, or the different treatment of elves and wizards. He pointed out that the fabric of the elves' clothes was either velvet from Italy or China. Silk is also printed and dyed in various styles in India. The designer probably spent all the cost of the crew's costumes on the elf, so he cut corners when making his clothes, and was only willing to make him a wizard robe and even a piece of underwear. He refused to do it, so he had to wear layers of T-shirts and jeans under the wizard robe, and he would laugh at his old-fashioned attire when he looked in the mirror every day.

William knew right away that it was he—or Glorfindel—that Sir Maclean was jealous of, since the Lord of Goldwald had not only close-fitting medieval undergarments, but several brocade robes and silk velvet cloaks with gold thread It was embroidered with patterns of leaves or white poppies, and had a cloak lined in glittery gold. Because of the special fabric, the cost was higher than the light green dress that Wen wore at the wedding with the Emperor.

However, William also refused to admit that he had spent all the cost of costumes for the crew, so he gently reminded everyone that Frodo alone had 64 costumes, and Aragorn had 32, which was much more than his own.

Elijah Wood argued that although there were many clothes, he had three doubles, and more than half of the clothes were worn by the doubles.

Finally, William, Ian McKellen, and Elijah Wood began to collectively "condemn" Peter Jackson for cheating their feelings: "When we finish our roles and leave the crew, everyone will get some gifts from Pete. souvenir."

Ian McKellen continued: "Yes, Liv took a spare Evening Star necklace, Orlando got a quiver and a few arrows, and I got a small box from Pete mysteriously, There is a Lord of the Rings inside. Pete told me that this is the one in the movie, because I have made an unparalleled contribution to the film, so he will give me the unique Supreme Lord of the Rings as a souvenir. This matter I was so moved that I didn’t know he had one until the crew reunited in Wellington and I showed off to Will and the others.”

"I have one too," added Elijah Wood. "And Mr. Serkis, who did the motion capture for Gollum, got a ring too."

Peter Jackson, who promised each person to be unique but ended up giving out a total of four Supreme Lord of the Rings, smiled all the way, as if he was not the one who was exposed on the spot. The only thing he was willing to give was to Ian McLean promised: "If we have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, I will repeatedly tell the clothing team not to forget to make underwear for you."

The interview with the "New Zealand Herald" is just a small episode in the promotional schedule of the crew of "Lord of the Rings". Canada, Japan and many other countries and regions have launched a global publicity campaign. However, because the premiere of "The Lord of the Rings: The Lord of the Rings" has attracted worldwide attention, this report is also the first interview officially accepted by the crew, and it has attracted a lot of attention. .

For example, a reporter from New Zealand National Television also went to the Hansen studio in Nelson to interview Kings Hansen, the jeweler who designed and produced the Supreme Lord of the Rings in the movie. The Lord of the Rings produced more than forty Lord of the Rings, the smallest normal size, the largest half a foot in diameter, enough to fit on the arm of a normal-sized man, and it was used for close-up shots.

After the New Zealand media reported the story behind the Lord of the Rings, it attracted the attention of many movie fans and book fans all over the world, and also aroused people's curiosity about the extremely exquisite props and jewelry in the film - Glorfindel's White Poppy The flower brooch, Galadriel's Nanya Water Ring, Elrond's Wind Ring, Arwen's Evening Star Necklace, the Ring Squad's leaf brooch, and of course those beautiful and exquisite elf crowns, these jewelry props Are they made of natural gemstones?Is it like the Supreme Lord of the Rings, designed by a living jeweler?Is there any jewelry brand that has launched similar products?

Female movie fans especially love to discuss these, not only discussing, they even want to buy them home and put them in their jewelry boxes.

In fact, among the male audience, there are not a few who want to buy a Lord of the Rings collection after watching the movie.

Later, with the popularity of the movie, some craftsmen on eBay imitated the appearance of the jewelry in the movie and made some jewelry with a high degree of similarity. The price was also raised by netizens at the auction. This kind of enthusiasm strengthened Willow. Special cooperation with some jewelry brands to launch the "Lord of the Rings" peripheral jewelry confidence.

——Even if you have made sufficient psychological preparations in advance, when Cartier and Swarovski launched limited edition accessories with the theme of "Lord of the Rings", it is still surprising that flagship stores around the world sold out quickly.

In the following ten years or even longer, the jewelry series of New Zealand Weta Company, which began to be responsible for all the peripheral sales of the "Lord of the Rings" movie, has also maintained a stable sales volume. These prices are not cheap, and can even be said to be Expensive peripheral products have brought huge profits to Weta Corporation, Willot and even the Tolkien family every year.

……

"Sorry I can't spend Christmas with you, Mom." William was on the phone with Madeleine: "Well, going to the premiere of 'A Beautiful Mind'... you're staying in New York to spend Christmas with friends? ...Greenway Aunt Grace's family in Zhimura? Of course, I remember her, always holding a camera at me every time I visit...what? Those pictures are all sold?...God...no, I mean, okay Bar…"

"Will, the newspaper you want." Waving the newspaper in his hand, Danny Bourne walked into the living room shouting William's name, and automatically muted the sound when he saw William sitting on the sofa on the phone.

"Remember to sign for the Christmas gift I sent you, write your apartment address, and call you in a few days, Merry Christmas." William hung up the phone and took the newspaper from Danny: "I'll go there by myself in a while You can take it, you are no longer my assistant, Danny, there is no need to do these trivial things."

Danny Byrne is now a TV producer in Willot - he worked as William's assistant and later became a manager, but Danny resigned voluntarily after a short time in the latter job. The reason for his resignation was that he felt that he could not help William in his career, but instead enjoyed a share of the other party's remuneration. The huge income made him feel like a bloodsucker.

William didn't want Danny to work hard in Hollywood after resigning from his job as a manager, so he persuaded Danny to stay and work in Willot. Danny started as a production assistant, and soon discovered that he was really good at it. Now Danny has With his own efforts, he has become a real producer. He is currently in charge of the production of two episodes of Willot's first TV series "Prison Break". It is also a coincidence that he has found his own real career .

"I'm on my way." Danny Byrne sniffed, "Did you make coffee?" He waved to William as he walked towards the kitchen: "I forgot to say, I read the newspaper for you in advance, Will , The results of "Lord of the Rings" are really good!"

William opened the top "Premiere" magazine, and the cover was the group portrait of the actors of "The Lord of the Rings: The Lord of the Rings". William also found on it that he should not be so centered in the poster because of his role in the role.

The headline in the middle of the cover of "Premiere" magazine is also very eye-catching: "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the Lord of the Rings" has a box office of 6000 million U.S. dollars and easily won the top spot in the North American box office chart!

There are two subtitles below the headline: Tom Cruise's "Vanilla Sky" topped $500 million at the box office at its premiere;

Looking through the weekly box office bulletins of other newspapers and magazines, they basically said the same thing. "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the Lord of the Rings" was finally released in 3467 theaters in North America, with a box office revenue of 6075 million US dollars. On the day of the British premiere of the hometown of the British family, it won a box office of 470 million pounds in only 1200 theaters, and the total box office of the world premiere exceeded 1.3 million US dollars - although it is not as good as the opening box office of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" It's so eye-catching, but it's far beyond ordinary first-class commercial blockbusters.

Moreover, the overall score of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the Ring" is much better than that of the "Harry Potter" series, and the stable or even slightly increased attendance after the premiere also shows this-according to "Film Review "Statistics, "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the Lord of the Rings" generally has a fan reputation above A, with an IMDB score of 9.1, and the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is currently as high as 95%.

To use a sentence that appeared frequently in the media and fans' comments: "After the appearance of "Lord of the Rings", Hollywood finally has a modern epic fantasy movie that can be done."

And in North America, 50.00% of movie audiences are over 25 years old, and male audiences account for 50.00%. Seven, with a wide and even distribution of age and gender, and a good reputation, several authoritative media predict the North American box office of the film It is very hopeful that it will quickly break through [-] million US dollars.

Two hundred million dollars, this figure is enough to make many film company presidents laugh immediately, but William's expression is very calm, because he knows that the film's final achievements are far more than that.

"By the way, I just forgot to tell you—Merry Christmas, Will." Danny Byrne came out of the dining room with a coffee cup in his hand: "I put your gift under the tree in the living room."

William nodded, put down the newspaper, and was about to say something when he was interrupted by a sound from the entrance.

"Put the clothes on the left, put the shoes on the right, and hang the tie here. Be careful, be gentle with your hands and feet! I guarantee that you will not be able to pay for any shirt you break!"

Today, Barbara Wilson, who has dyed her hair black, stands in the middle of the hallway, looking at the light to see whether the nail polish color is correct, and at the same time issuing orders to a large group of people she brought in, her voice is very distinctive , the pitch is high, and when talking or laughing loudly, it seems like cutting a saw with a knife, which has a wonderful deterrent effect.

About twenty people carefully placed the hangers full of hangers and shoe racks in the middle of the living room, and then retreated lightly, as if they were afraid that they would make too much noise and make Barbara go crazy.

Danny Bourne was startled by Barbara's voice, the coffee he had just drank stuck in his throat, and he was patting his chest desperately to cough, and a few suspicious brown stains appeared on his shirt.

"Good morning, Will." Barbara Wilson walked around three meters away from Danny Bourne with her bag and walked to William, and said hello affectionately: "Versace, Prada, Armani, Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Dolce & Gabbana, Hermes, and Givenchy have all sent the latest models of this season. Of course, there are also those limited editions that have just appeared in the fashion week and have not been worn yet. If you have any Tell me if you are particularly fond of the brand, I guarantee you will be the first Hollywood actor to wear the next season's limited edition in advance—"

"God, this is the dream wardrobe that every man dreams of!" Danny Byrne rushed to the hanger with lightning speed, and glanced at each piece with longing eyes: "Do you want to make a call?" Bet, I guess I can't afford this Versace coat on my monthly salary."

"Actually, you can afford it—" In Danny Byrne's eyes suddenly lit up, Barbara Wilson knocked off Danny's hand that was about to touch the coat with the corner of the bag, and then said slowly: " These two sleeves."

"My kindest buddy, Will, can you give me this coat, and these trousers and those shoes? I will also prepare double for you next Christmas!"

"No."

"Yes." William and Barbara Wilson said almost at the same time.

"You can't fit, these clothes are all Will's size." Barbara Wilson adjusted her hairstyle in the mirror, still did not forget to cast a disdainful look at Danny and said: "You are too fat. "

"I will lose weight and get fit! Will and I are only two numbers apart. I have endless motivation to lose weight!"

"Let Danny choose as he pleases, Barbara, and there will be new ones coming in a few months anyway—but it seems a little too much this time?"

"It's too much." Danny Bourne also nodded and echoed: "I was so scared that I immediately looked at the calendar, thinking that there would be an Oscar awards ceremony today."

"The goal of Giorgio Armani is of course that you wear their custom-made dresses on the Oscar red carpet. If you can walk on the podium, a single appearance can bring immeasurable brand added value. Compared with those, it is so little now What's the investment? Besides, tonight's premiere is also very important."

While talking, Barbara Wilson picked out a dark shirt and gestured in front of William: "Columbia spent millions of dollars on the premiere of "King Ali" tonight, and they are like I am very optimistic about Will Smith. The publicity fee invested in this movie has reached 3000 million. Universal did not pay that much for the premiere of "A Beautiful Mind". Will, tonight is all up to you to show yourself A sparkling and endearing quality that draws the eyes of the world from elsewhere!"

……

"What time does the premiere of "King of Muhammad Ali" start?"

"Eight o'clock."

"What about 'A Beautiful Mind'?"

"08:30."

"Phew, although the time is a bit tight, we should be able to catch up with the two premieres." "Variety" reporter Gerald heaved a sigh of relief: "I thought the two films would both be chosen at eight o'clock."

Today is Christmas and the world premieres of Ali, starring Will Smith, from Columbia, and A Beautiful Mind, starring William Bradley from Universal.

Coincidentally, not only were the two films released on the same day, but the theaters where the premieres were held were not far apart——"A Beautiful Mind" was at the Dolby Theater, and "King Ali" was at the Chinese Theater. On Hollywood Boulevard, next to each other, the Chinese Theater is just west of the Dolby Theatre, just a few minutes' walk away.

"Man, you are so naive, half an hour is not as long as you think." "Premiere" reporter Bowman laughed, and poured cold water on the camera while installing a flash: "The Chinese Theater is not far from the Dolby Theater." Far away, but haven’t you noticed that we are now in the middle of the red carpet? Please turn around and look at the large number of fans behind you, and then count the number of media and fans on the red carpet in the Dolby Theater. If Will Smith and his wife will be late for a while, do you think you can finish interviewing Will Smith within half an hour and then go across to grab a good seat?"

Hearing Bowman's words, "Variety Show" reporter Gerald looked at the time specifically, it was 10:[-], and there were still [-] minutes before the first premiere of "King Ali", and then he turned around and wanted to Let's see how many people the two premieres can attract.

Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he was taken aback.

At first glance, Gerald could hardly see anything, because there was already a huge crowd of people behind him, and at a glance, they were all heads. Fortunately, Gerald was more than six feet tall, and he could see it on tiptoe. After the crowd, he saw the scene that shocked even the experienced man——

More than an hour before the premiere of "A Beautiful Mind", there are already at least a thousand fans waiting outside the Dolby Theater, and they all seem to be William Bradley's personal fans, because many girl fans are holding up "Way I'm the most handsome man in the world", "William, please marry me", "I'm ready to be a priest", and there was even a priest in a white sacrificial robe waiting beside him with a Bible.

As an entertainment reporter who often travels between the premieres of major movies, Gerrard suddenly found that the female movie fan holding the "I'm ready to be a priest" card was very familiar to him, as if he had interviewed her before?

That's right, Gerrard thought about it. He interviewed her and knew that this female movie fan was William Bradley's super fan. The idea of ​​an idol getting married has been holding a marriage proposal card every time he appears at the theater door for more than a year.

In Gerald's view, Clark Gable and Marlon Brando were no more than popular at their peak.

And the Chinese Theater is not too far behind. A large number of black movie fans are holding posters of Will Smith or the movie "King Ali". Some tall, muscular men stand out in the crowd , Their common feature is that their biceps are extremely developed, like amateur or professional boxers, who come here to worship the boxing champion in the movie.These people with obvious professional characteristics are very difficult to mess with at first glance, and it also makes ordinary movie fans subconsciously avoid them, making the red carpet more crowded.

"You're right, buddy, the crowd is a bit scary." Gerrard sighed, "I can't even imagine how hot the scene will be when Will and Will and Will Smith come. Yes—Jesus, they even have the same name." The reporter of "Variety Show" said with a thoughtful expression: "Is it true that anyone named Will can become a superstar? Maybe I should give up on Gerrard II, Such a name for my future child."

"Premiere" reporter Bowman shrugged: "William (William) and Willard (Willard) are not the same."

——In this chaotic and lively year of 2001, the last big event of the year in Hollywood was the unprecedented collision between "A Beautiful Mind" and "King Ali".The two films have completely collided in terms of subject matter, starring role, release schedule, and Olympic ambitions. People can't help but wonder whether this is a coincidence of fate or a deliberate arrangement by someone with a heart.

"Muhammad Ali" is a biopic that tells the story of the most exciting decade of Muhammad Ali's career - the ten years from 1964 to 1974. According to some film critics and The audience reported that the movie not only described the fierce battles in the boxing ring, but also added the civil rights movement, opposition to the Vietnam War, and racial discrimination that actually occurred in American history at that time, which are now very popular and controversial. .

"A Beautiful Mind" is also a biographical film. While telling the life of mathematician John Nash, it also has a detailed and in-depth portrayal of schizophrenia, a mental disease that is generally recognized as incurable but can only be improved. The response has been equally good.

As we all know, biographical films, especially biographical films of characters, have always been the favorites of the academy judges. "Boxing King Ali" and "A Beautiful Mind" are not only biographical films, but also selected to be released in December, which is the Olympic schedule. Even if the directors of the two films swear by the Bible that they have no plans for next year's Oscars, no one will believe it.

Originally, it is not uncommon for two films with the same theme to be released on the same day. The Oscars only nominate films that were released in North America before December 12 of the previous year. Similar coincidence.

However, "A Beautiful Mind" and "King Ali" also "crashed" in the choice of leading actors.

Of course, this does not mean that William and Will Smith look alike, but the overlapping of William and Will Smith's fame and status-if William Bradley is the most handsome and charming white actor with the highest salary in Hollywood, Then Will Smith is the most handsome, charming and highest paid black actor in Hollywood.

Moreover, to be honest, excluding the difference in skin color, the time and process of the two becoming popular are almost exactly the same.

In 95, a "Jedi Men" made Will Smith gradually popular, and that year William Bradley also became famous with "Sense and Sensibility";

In 96, Will Smith's net worth doubled due to starring in "Independence Day". In the same year, William Brand used "Scream" to rewrite the history of North American horror genre films;

97 was the most important year in Will Smith's life. The release of "Men in Black" not only made him a new generation of black idols, but also made him jump into the "2000 million club" and become the highest paid film in Hollywood history. black movie star.William's salary was not 2000 million at that time, but he had a "Titanic" that was recorded in history, and starting from "Gait Shot", his acting career began to move from business to art.

99 was an extremely important year for both of them, as well as for Hollywood and the global film market.A "Wild Wild" with a mediocre story and false special effects actually sold more than 2 million US dollars at the global box office, making people know that Will Smith is enough for the movie to make money.And "Meet Joe Black" and "Blood Together" give people a glimpse of how crazy William Bradley can make the world.

Both William and Will Smith are now superstars in Hollywood, and they are the focus of global media attention. Behind their names, there are astonishing commercial value and strong box office appeal. In addition, a white person represents the most mainstream and traditional American society. One is that blacks have created the history of African-American actors, all of which make this "coincidence" full of the smell of confrontation and gunpowder.

"I really want to know whether William Bradley or Will Smith won this premiere battle." "Variety" reporter Gerald was very curious.

"Anyway, it's impossible for Hugh Jackman and Meg Ryan to win—" "Premiere" reporter Bowman found Gerald showing a surprised expression, so he was also very surprised and asked: "Why, you don't know "Love in the World" also premiered today?"

"Ah, remember, the Miramax movie, right?"

"God knows why Miramax chose to join in the fun today. 80.00% of the media in Hollywood are here." "Premiere" reporter Bowman shook his head in puzzlement: "The two most popular superstars in Hollywood are currently dueling. Not even Tom Cruise, Jim Carrey and Sean Penn would want to run into them head-on."

It turned out that "Vanilla Sky" starring Tom Cruise, "Movie Life" starring Jim Carrey, and "I'm Sam" starring Sean Penn were also scheduled to be released on Christmas, but they were released a month before the release. , The film companies suddenly rescheduled, "Vanilla Sky" was half a month earlier, "Movie Life" held its premiere on the 21st, and "I Am Sam" was postponed to the 28th.

According to Hollywood industry news, the rescheduled release of these three films is precisely to avoid the head-to-head confrontation with "A Beautiful Mind" and "King Ali".

"Perhaps it's because the schedule is so crowded this month? Vanilla Sky, Movie Life, A Beautiful Mind, Gosford Park, Muhammad Ali, I Am Sam, Dance on Death Row "...God, it's been a busy December."

"If I ask you, William Bradley, Will Smith, Jim Carrey, Tom Cruise, and Tom Cruise's ex-wife Nicole Kidman all released works this year aimed at Xiao Jin. Man, Hollywood superstars are flocking to the Oscars, and next year's awards season will be even more lively."

"Premiere" reporter Bowman also wanted to express a few opinions on next year's Oscars. In front of the Chinese Theater, Jada Pinkett Smith appeared with her husband Will Smith's arm, and a large number of movie fans on both sides of the red carpet immediately There were warm cheers, and Gerald and his colleagues stopped talking, seized this rare opportunity and quickly pressed the shutter.

Will Smith and his wife stood together closely, responded to the call of almost every media, and stood together with the crew director, other actors and sponsors from time to time, giving reporters enough time to interview and take pictures.

The atmosphere around the red carpet was intense, but from a participant's point of view, Bowman always felt that something was missing.

When the cheers of mountains and tsunami came from behind, Bowman slammed
