Birth of an actor

"No, I haven't dated Kate Winslet in private. In fact, in the photos taken by The Sun, Will is also there. The three of us went out to watch concerts and movies together, but I'm also not sure why it's just me and Kate in the picture and Will isn't in the picture."

After Kate Winslet publicly denied having a relationship with Gray Wise outside the theater, Gray Wise also said at the media meeting before the official premiere: "Speaking of it, Will or I and Gray Wise As for Emma's matchmaker, as you know, he plays Edward in the film, and Emma plays Elena. The two of them play the most rivalry. Willoughby, who I play, has no communication with Elena. If it wasn't for William who offered to help If not, maybe my relationship with Emma has not progressed so fast."

Gray Wise finally explained the scandal between himself and Kate Winslet to the British "Guardian" reporter's question.

——This is the world of flashlights. In order to avoid the incident from escalating and fermenting and creating vicious consequences, it is very important for actors to develop the skills of selectively telling the truth.

Gray Wise's words did not arouse the doubts of the reporters present. On the contrary, most of them were convinced: Calculate the time when Gray Wise and Kate Winslet watched the concert together in the photo. At that time, William Brown The attention that Landry has received is not as high as it is now. It is reasonable to say that the colleagues who took the photos only photographed two British actors for the purpose of hyping the scandal and ignored William Brandley. .

Moreover, the interview between Kate Winslet and Gray Wise just now will also clearly express the other party's disinterest.

Besides, look at William Bradley, with such a smoldering man of similar age in front of him, Kate Winslet still has nostalgia for a married man? ——Even the reporter of the "National Enquirer" who was the first to stir up the scandal couldn't convince himself against his will.

So the reporters turned their finger on William again.

"Is it true what Gray said, that you had a threesome date with him and Kate?"

Under the nervous gaze of Emma Thompson, Gray Wise, and Kate Winslet, William replied very naturally: "It's not a date for the three of them, it's just dinner and fun with friends who made friends during filming. "

"Then you and Kate are dating now? She came to the United States because of you, and took over James Cameron's "Titanic"?" The reporter of the American "National Enquirer" asked another question. road.

From the corner of William's eyes, he observed that Kate Winslet's complexion became very ugly in an instant.

Even Li An, who was sitting next to him, had a subtle expression on his face.

Wait, William also understands. In fact, the media insisted on grasping Kate Winslet's relationship history. It was not deliberately embarrassing him, nor was it trying to destroy the relationship between Emma Thompson and Gray Wise. You want to kill Kate Winslet's "Titanic" deal?

Think about it, Kate Winslet was first revealed to have dated fellow cast member Gray Wise during the filming of the film, and the other party is now married, and then it was revealed that she was actually dating William Bradley Having dated, falling in love with two male actors in the same group after filming a scene... Few big directors are happy to see such a thing.

Especially the Hollywood directors who have a very high degree of commercialization and have been walking a tightrope between box office and artistry. They are most taboo about two things: First, the leading role has a sensational scandal before it is released.Second, the leading actor talked about sticky love during filming.

Needless to say, for the former, the box office will definitely suffer a big blow when the starring scandal breaks out, and the media fans' attention to the director's hard-working work for a year and a half will naturally shift to the actor's scandal, which will even make the film's award-winning It may be discounted, which is very frustrating for the studio and the director; and the latter is mainly hated by the directors who pursue it, because for them, acting is a very serious thing, If male and female leading actors fall in love while filming, can they play their roles professionally?Will they mess up the movie?Almost every director has similar concerns when encountering such incidents.

If it’s an A-list actor paired with a not-so-reputable director, it’s fine. Even if the director is dissatisfied with the lead actor, the studio won’t allow the actor to be replaced, but it’s not so easy to pair a big director with a not-so-famous actor... …It goes without saying that James Cameron is famous for his bad temper on the set. For such a director, it is hard to imagine that he would tolerate the heroine being bullied all day long in a big movie he invested hundreds of millions of dollars in. Gossip lingers.

"Your question is too extreme - this reporter from the National Enquirer - are all the single men and women who go to the concert together dating? God, do we live in the same age as Jane Austen? Is it the eighth century, because going out together will be considered a relationship?"

William's reaction to the "National Enquirer" reporter made the other media on the scene burst into laughter.

——The competition between newspapers is also very fierce. The gossip tabloids look down on each other, and big newspapers like the "New York Times" and "Washington Times" that aim to set up high-end newspapers also hate those who use sensationalism The supermarket tabloids that are selling points think they are a piece of mouse droppings that spoil the whole pot of porridge, and a group of unscrupulous paparazzi have ruined the reputation of the entire reporter industry.

Then without waiting for the blushing "National Enquirer" reporter to speak, William immediately added: "Kate and I are good friends, there is no romantic atmosphere, at most it is because of the society where she had a high fever and caused pneumonia during the filming." , I give her a little more help, and appreciate me a little more for it, so she likes to ask me out once or twice - eh, Kate?"

Kate Winslet smiled and said, "Exactly, Will."

The media at the scene laughed again, and anyone could tell that William was grabbing the "National Enquirer" and doing the surgery non-stop.

"Besides, we are all focused on our careers now and have no idea of ​​a new relationship. It is even more nonsense that Kate took on "Titanic" for the sake of a relationship. Director Long disrespected the professionalism of casting." After speaking, William pushed the microphone forward to indicate that he had finished speaking.

As for the appearance of the reporter of the "National Enquirer" looking angrily and unwillingly at the stage—who knows whether he was looking at William or Kate—before sitting down amidst the strange gazes around him, William didn't take it to heart, even if The other party will not say anything good about him in the newspaper tomorrow, so what, since he has become an actor, he is already mentally prepared not to please everyone.

"Is there any other media that wants to ask questions?" Li An opened the microphone and released everyone from the previous topic at the right time: "However, I would like to ask a question related to "Sense and Sensibility". I will answer."

When the media turned their attention to Alan Rickman, director Ang Lee and others, Kate Winslet, who was sitting not far away, gave William a grateful glance, and secretly made a gesture to him to talk about it later , and Gray Wise, who was sitting next to William, finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat on his forehead with a square towel, turned his head and whispered to William, "Thank you for your relief, Will, Emma and I will always remember In the heart, for today, and your matchmaking during filming."

This sentence is true. William was indeed responsible for the rapid development of Gray Wise and Emma Thompson during the filming period-several times, when Gray Wise and William were together, Emma Ma Thompson "just happened" to knock on the door with the script.In other words, when Emma Thompson came to William for a line, he could bump into Gray Wise in his room.

When Gray Wise and Emma Thompson got married in October, William also attended. All the people invited were relatives or friends. Except for actors who had a good relationship with the bride and groom, there were basically no celebrities. Warm and touching wedding.

"You're welcome, buddy."

"However, buddy, do you have to dress so eye-catching? Look at the eyes of those female reporters who are about to take off your clothes, and also, their shots can't be shared with others? Jesus, there probably won't be any in the newspaper tomorrow." A little bit of my space is gone."

William touched his nose: "You guys made me attract as much media attention as possible." He felt a little wronged, a little bit.

Gray Wise looked at William apologetically: "I'm just complaining, I don't really blame you, Will, I'm sorry. But, is your suit custom-made? I don't remember which brand has such a style. "

"It was made to order in Savile Row when I was filming, and I just received the international express delivery a few days ago. Handmade things are slow, aren't they?"

"Impossible, the tailors in Savile Row wouldn't cut clothes like this!" Gray Wise slightly opened his eyes wide, and said in surprise: "Look at Alan and I, the tailoring of our two suits is Savile Row style, you're looking for an Italian tailor, Will?"

Unlike women's dresses, which have countless styles, fabrics, colors and patterns, men's dresses usually refer to three-piece suits. The fabrics, styles, and colors usually adhere to tradition and rarely follow trends, so women's dresses can be popular every season. It is a kind of fashion, and the status of the wearer can be judged by whether the wearer is wearing the new season of big brands. Men's dresses usually show their worth from the details.

The so-called details are generally fabrics, collar shapes, cuffs, shoulder pads, chest pads, pocket designs, sewing stitches, button textures, tie tying methods...the most important of which is tailoring.To be honest, for formal clothes, tailoring is simply too important. For shirts of the same fabric, one sells for fifty dollars and the other sells for five hundred dollars. Most of the difference is reflected in the tailoring.

Suits like those worn by Alan Rickman and Gray Wise today, although different in fabric and style, can be seen as tailor-made suits - Alan Rickman's Harris Tweed suit plus He wears thick shoulder pads and a high waist. The thick but not exaggerated shoulders make him look extraordinarily secure, and the unevenness formed by the high waist makes it impossible to notice this nearly fifty-year-old man. British gentlemen actually have quite round stomachs.On the other hand, Gray Wise has broad shoulders and a thin body, so the shoulder pads are very slight, but the chest pads are added to make his upper body look tall and strong, which is in line with the current aesthetics.

The reason why Gray Wise believes that William's suits are not Savile Row style, but theirs is because the traditional Savile Row tailoring method is to make suits fit (not slim or loose but fitted), and generally have a big Lapel collar, thick shoulder pads, right side waist, no back opening, ticket pocket above right pocket, etc.Savile Row tailors have been making suits this way for at least 100 years.

And the suit William wears is obviously more slim, without thick shoulder pads and chest pads. It can be clearly judged that every inch of muscle lines displayed in the suit is the wearer's own. It is real and without hypocrisy, and it is not like Like other muscular stars, they look too bulky when they put on a suit. William's suit style is obviously light, whether it is a tighter hem, a sleeve that reveals a part of the shirt sleeve, natural shell buttons, or left. The gentle white silk square scarf with a little corner on the chest highlights this style, not to mention the choice of the white dress shirt that has no tie but uses an Eaton collar to light up the whole outfit. Sublime the existence of the whole dress temperament.

Compared with Gray Wise and Alan Rickman, William's light and flirtatious Italian suit style is obviously not what Savile Row tailors like to try.

"It's either an Italian tailor or an English tailor. Look at the fabric, buddy. The cashmere from Capra-Hircus is obviously preferred by your British tailors." William shrugged: "As for the tailoring, it's probably because I specifically asked for it. Design? I've got muscles, Gray, and British style would make me look too big, and I don't want to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger in a suit - like a bear. So I just I made a special request to the tailor, and he didn’t say anything after measuring me, but I really like the design and the finished product.”

Capra-Hircus is a breed of Scottish goat. The best thing about this kind of sheep is the fine hair on the neck and abdomen. It is pure, soft and shiny. The fabric made of it is light but warm, has good gloss and is easy to care for. It is the favorite of the British. One of the top fabrics.

"When did the tailors in Savile Row become so talkative? Why don't I know?" Gray Wise muttered. The tailor taught me a lesson, saying that I don't know how to command men's clothing, and almost used the excuse that I blasphemed his craftsmanship to strike."

"Well, probably, it's because I'm looking for a family tailor?" William replied with a shrug.

The tailor was found by Lance, and he didn't go to Savile Row, but directly in Lance's apartment. Who knows if it was the regular tailor of the Roderick family or the Waddington family, anyway, according to Lance, he grew up All the formal suits are made by this old man who is trembling even when he holds a ruler—to add, although he is so old that it is doubtful whether he can move clothes, but the craftsmanship of this old tailor is really amazing up.

"Is it enough to talk about clothes, girls?" Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet, arm in arm, standing behind William and Graves, sighed helplessly: "From the second half of the meeting Seeing the two of you whispering to each other with serious faces, I thought you were talking about some major international affairs, but when I got closer, it turned out that you were arguing about tailoring!"

Emma Thompson looked at her husband mockingly: "Do you really know which tailor is better, dear?"

It turned out that at some point, the media meeting before the premiere had ended, and William and the two hadn't noticed it because they had so much fun talking...

"So the film is about to start screening?" Gray Wise said awkwardly, "Then let's hurry up and find seats in the audience."

William stood up, fastened the first button of his coat, and said calmly: "Men can also love fashion, and there is nothing shameful about it."

The two women had already turned around and discussed as they stepped off the stage: "So if we get an Oscar nomination, will Gucci and Versace both offer to borrow dresses?"

Emma Thompson replied: "The last time I walked the Oscars red carpet was Gucci, but if it was you, Kate, Valentino or Dolce & Gabbana would be more suitable."

Gray Wise: "..." Is it really good that you can only talk about dresses and we can't talk about tailoring?

William shrugged at him: "Ladies are just habitually suspicious of straight men's aesthetics, just get used to it."

Gray Wise: "..." What the hell is a straight man?
