Birth of an actor

Best Dressed on the 96 Red Carpet at the Premiere of "Scream" - "GQ" Magazine

"GQ", which has been focusing on men's fashion for 100 years, even got inspiration from William and made a special issue of scarves: "The three-piece suit is the one thing that men can never go wrong with. Tailoring and color matching can show a man's taste, but if you want to get a sense of fashion, details are essential. The selection of watches, cufflinks, and square scarves is only the primary homework for men's fashion. Using silk scarves and socks to brighten up the whole outfit is a little more advanced homework."

"Modern men's scarves originated from the Croatian soldiers employed by France in the [-]th and [-]th centuries, and were later introduced and popular among European nobles. In the [-]th century, they started from the Royal Ascot Jockey Club in England. Men are almost always wearing tuxedos and Ascot scarves. This trend has gradually spread to the people. Now scarves have gradually become one of the standard accessories for men to participate in important occasions, and even in daily life, together with watches, sleeves Like buckles, ties and other items, it has become an important detail for them to compete in style and taste. Therefore, don’t think that scarves are exclusive to the four major fashion weeks or Hollywood movies, although in the United States there may only be New York, Los Angeles, Miami, etc. Men in the region are accustomed to using scarves, but in Europe, scarves have already penetrated into the lives of men."

"When it comes to modern scarves and silk scarves, the most famous brand is of course Hermès. This top luxury brand started in the harness industry more than 100 years ago. The first industry involved outside of leather goods is the silk scarf industry— —Two or 30 years before the birth of the Kelly bag named after Faye Wong of Monaco Grace Kelly. On the red carpet of the "Scream" premiere, William Bradley wore it to enhance the fashion of the whole dress The twill silk printed square scarf intertwined with orange red, light gray and white is the latest style in the Hermès 1997 spring and summer haute couture show. In addition, the casual suit jacket and trousers are also from Hermès, and the shirt is from Dior’s current season. New style, no brand of leather shoes, the style should be handmade by Italian leather craftsmen.”

"—By the way, the author identified from the photo that the socks worn by William were Gamarelli. What is less known is that another important customer served by this Italian family brand is the successive popes."

"Although he was only wearing Hermès ready-to-wear, William vividly interpreted the brand's consistent proud attitude, and it fit well with the theme inspiration of Hermès' 1997 Spring/Summer Fashion Week 'European prince on vacation', and this outfit is also perfect. It has a very high reuse value and can be used for any occasion except the Oscars, and it is also suitable for leisurely strolling on the streets of Manhattan, New York. Will Brandley's sense of fashion, full marks, this set is enough to enter 1996 The top three best dressed men on the red carpet."

Obviously, both the literary-inclined "New Yorker" and the fashion-inclined "GQ" have praised William's outfit at the premiere of "Scream", while the world-renowned women's fashion magazine "Elle" published a report in the latest issue. In the issue of the magazine, William was also given a color picture on the inside page that almost filled the entire page, and used William as a model, giving examples of how well-educated social elites should dress on formal occasions:

"Groups with special requirements for dressing and high social status, such as lawyers, district attorneys, politicians, etc., a necessary dressing rule is to have high grayscale and uniform tones. It is of course a must to dress yourself colorfully. It has personality, but it does not meet the expectations and requirements of society for the elite. In the same way, it is possible to observe a person's occupation and social status from the side by seeing whether the gray scale of a person's daily clothing is high and whether the color tone is uniform. The basic skills have reached Finally, decorate parts of the body with lively colors (do not use them in large areas), such as short wool socks, silk scarves, square scarves, etc., which is definitely the finishing touch that can enhance the overall fashion taste."

Although he didn't directly praise William, and didn't mention movies or entertainment news at all, the admiration in the words was overwhelming.From the movie box office, the transfer of the plot to the fashion topic, it has deviated from the movie itself, but what is unexpected is that a more magical turning point is yet to come.

A reporter of the "New York Post", because his eyes were too sharp, discovered that the real identity of the blond man walking up the steps with William in the photo on the inside page of the "New Yorker" turned out to be the heir of the Roderick Industrial Group. Lance Roderick who hasn't been in The Flash in years!

In the United States, especially in New York, one of the basic skills of journalists is to keep a clear record of the looks and resumes of presidents, superstars, billionaires and their families, but because Lance Roderick has not appeared in newspapers for a long time In fact, he was only photographed by the National Enquirer before he went to study in London, so it took a long time for the reporter of the New York Post to recognize that it was really Lance Roderick.

The sole heir to Roderick Industries would show up at the premiere of "Scream" and appear to have a close relationship with William Bradley?So what is their relationship?

Although there are also many billionaire heirs in the United States who like to make friends with Hollywood stars, firstly, most of those heirs went for the purpose of becoming socialites/celebrities, and secondly, they are far inferior to Lance Roderick. The latter is not only destined to become one of the richest and most powerful people in the United States in the future, but also has an extremely low-key style since childhood, and does not appear in the newspaper once in a year or so.

And now, Lance Roderick, who has always disdain to deal with the media, looks quite familiar with William Bradley?A former paparazzi reporter for the "New York Post" feared that the news would be preempted, so he quickly concocted a news report and published it first.

"The heir of the Roderick Group appeared in Los Angeles!"William Bradley childhood friend? (The New York Post) immediately sparked a huge discussion among the tabloids, housewives, and curious teens.

This kind of public opinion response is not entirely caused by William, and Lance actually has more reasons-in fact, some people are more interested in the daily life of billionaires than the private lives of celebrities. This kind of psychology is actually related to their pursuit of The European royal family is the same, whether they are stars, billionaires or members of the royal family, they are all outstanding in their respective industries. People are born to yearn for the winners in life who stand at the top and gather all the aura and body. As the saying goes, "Since you can't become them, you must understand how they live."

Compared with Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, Bill Gates' Microsoft Group, and the history of these two and their families that have been rotten, Roderick, who has never appeared on the Forbes wealth list Industrial groups and their owners are simply mysterious legends that have been shrouded in layers of veils. Bill Gates' family history and entrepreneurial history are familiar to almost all Americans, so they are even more familiar with the legendary richer Robinson. The Derek family is full of curiosity——

Roderick made a fortune earlier than Rockefeller, but did not decline like the latter. Instead, he became richer and richer. Last year, he completed a company acquisition with a market value of up to 60 billion US dollars. Tyler Roderick not only has money He is even keen on politics—although he never appears in public except for participating in the Republican Party’s donation party, but there is that sentence, and his legend is circulating everywhere in the society—and in the past 1996, Taylor Roderick sponsored a large political contribution to the Republican candidate, causing the opponent to cause a lot of trouble for Bill Clinton's re-election as president.

Although Taylor Roderick has never appeared on the Forbes rich list because of being unlisted, since 1994 when Forbes began to rank the largest unlisted companies in the United States, Roderick Industrial Group has been firmly in the top spot ,

As a non-listed company, Roderick Industries has never released detailed financial figures, and only two rating agencies, Moody's and Standard & Poor's, can obtain information about the group.At present, the rating given by Moody's is AAA1, and the rating given by Standard & Poor's is AAA, both of which are the highest ratings of the two institutions, and also the highest ratings that non-financial institutions and national sovereign credit can obtain, and the ratings obtained by Microsoft Group The same, but now there are also voices calling for the credit rating of Roderick Industrial Group to be lowered, because it has been reluctant to go public for a long time and cannot achieve financial transparency, and Tyler Roderick’s political speculation that the government wants to reduce personal income tax has also made The IRS (Internal Revenue Service) is extremely wary of him.

In 1996, Wal-Mart, the world’s largest department store chain, broke through the 700 billion mark in sales, while Roderick Industrial Group, which focuses on petroleum and military products, had sales of nearly 2000 billion U.S. dollars last year. The American media generally believe that if Roderick Industrial Group If the group went public before [-], the group will instantly rank among the top five in the world's top [-], and Taylor Roderick is likely to squeeze out Bill Gates to become the richest man in the United States.

The owner of Wal-Mart Group is the Walton family, and the founder of Wal-Mart Group, Sam Walton (died in 1992), once warned several of his children: "Don't sell the shares of the family company you hold. This admonition is true, as Sam Walton's three children, Christy Walton, Jim Walton, Alice Walton and Rob Walton, have all inherited The inheritance of Taylor Roderick has been promoted to a billionaire with assets of at least tens of billions of dollars, and the American media estimates that Taylor Roderick's personal assets will be more exaggerated than the three contemporary managers of the Walton family-because Walton The Dunton family has three heirs who are dividing the inheritance, while the Roderick family has only one heir from Taylor Roderick's generation to Lance Roderick's two generations.

How rich is Roderick Industries Group?

Could it be that no one else in the world, except the Rodericks themselves, knew how rich they were?

What is the daily life and social circle of billionaires like? ——All are issues of great concern to the gossip-loving American people.

Rupert Murdoch is too old, Bill Gates is too technical, and their lives are not interesting at all. The Vanderbilts, Rothschilds, and Rockefellers are still famous but have long been Withdrew from the stage of the American dignitaries. The Kennedy family, the Clinton family and the Bush family were criticized every day for political reasons, and the public was tired of watching them. Families are either keen to appear in front of camera interviews or are engaged in industries related to media, music, entertainment, and fashion—only the Roderick family has been rich and powerful for nearly 100 years, but has been avoiding the spotlight. It remains a mystery to the public.

In fact, with the development of the times, no matter how invisible the rich are, the Roderick family cannot avoid the day when they are curious and gossiped by the media and the public, but now because of William’s participation, the article in the New York Post has become a fuse. The curiosity of the whole society was ignited in advance.

Isn't the heir of the Roderick family rumored to be studying in London? Why did he appear in Los Angeles?

Are Lance Roderick and William Bradley really friends?

Just when ordinary people were only gossiping, the New York Post’s old rival, the New York Daily News, was dissatisfied with its sworn enemy’s recent stealing of the limelight, and joined in the vigorous paparazzi activities, and, the New York Daily "News" unearthed even more exciting old news:

"Identity Revealed: William Bradley was actually the protagonist of the sensational kidnapping case in the United States 12 years ago!" ("New York Daily News")

In order to trample on the old enemy, "New York Daily News" not only bribed a former janitor at Calgate School, but also obtained from him a photo of William and Lance participating in school activities together to prove that the two They even dug up the news of the kidnapping case that had been buried by Taylor Roderick 12 years ago!

After all, it was the kidnapping news of the billionaire heir that once caused a sensation in the United States, or the whole world—it was also another big news that broke out in the Roderick family ten years after Tyler Roderick married a British bride—over the years No matter how the Roderick family concealed it, the kidnapping case still left a deep imprint on the hearts of people who had read the news back then. Now that the media re-reported it, the society immediately aroused great repercussions, and it was only then that the public suddenly understood : Two students were kidnapped from Calgate School that year, one was Lance Roderick, and the other protagonist whose name was not revealed turned out to be William Bradley!

"Frequently appearing in Los Angeles Roderick Group enters Hollywood? (The Wall Street Journal)

The "New York Daily News" dug up such important news, and the "New York Post" was naturally not far behind. The two most famous tabloids in New York came and went. William's father, Edwin Bradley, was once a famous Wall Street fund. Of course, the incident of the manager committing suicide by jumping off the building was also dug out.

But this storm of public opinion is far from over. A piece of news in "U.S. Weekly" pulled the public's attention away from William himself and back to the film, but this time it was not aimed at the good side.

"NYPD Remarks: If Billy Was A Real Person, It Would Be A Nightmare For The American Police World" (U.S. Weekly)

"Recently, an NYPD detective, who asked not to be named, said he had encountered a cross-dresser who had an obsessive obsession with Billy, the serial killer in "Scream." While looking at the poster, he called the character in the movie to kill him!' The NYPD detective said in a tone of shock and disbelief: "It's really amazing and terrible. Really, fortunately, there is no serial killer like Billy in reality." A murderer, otherwise no matter how many people he slaughtered, he would probably have a fan base of fans, just like Manson, the killer in the 60s.'”

Perhaps the New York police detectives were simply sighing when they were interviewed, and there was no other meaning in mentioning the most famous serial killer in the United States, Manson, but this kind of interview was broadcast on TV, but it caused some malicious media Deliberately distorted interpretation!

The meaning of the existence of crime movies is generally to arouse the public’s condemnation of social crimes, terrorist acts and evil forces, because movies more or less reflect the status quo of moral depravity, abnormal temperament, and distortion of human nature. After the release of "The Silence of the Lambs", which portrays crimes also ugly and terrifying, it has aroused some people's admiration for the virtual character of Professor Hannibal. The effect of "The Silence of the Lambs" is similar-the biggest proof is the transvestite who was invited into the police station for coffee by the NYPD.

The filming intention of "Scream" is fundamentally different from "The Silence of the Lambs". If the latter is considered a serious film, then the former is really just an entertainment film, but no matter what the original intention of the studio is, Once social and moral issues are involved, the upsurge of public opinion will only grow bigger and bigger like a snowball.

Compared with ordinary people who don't mind watching the excitement, these days, the mood of fans who love William is really like riding a roller coaster.

At the dinner table in the Evans house, the conversation continued. Carly Evans forgot her porridge and kept chanting in front of the dining table with her chin in her hand: "Why are New York tabloid reporters so annoying! They keep grabbing people Don't they know how to respect the dead at all?"

"I've been listening to you read this nonsense for half an hour." Christopher Evans was also a little upset: "You like Will so much? I think you're just obsessed with his face."

Carly Evans admitted openly: "I just like Will's face, what's the matter? Of course, I also like his acting skills and fashion sense now-don't say I paid for it in the first place, you can go superficial and look exactly the same Show me your handsome face!"

"I'm so handsome, okay?!" Christopher Evans retorted: "Girls who want to date me can line up three laps around the court!"

"No matter how handsome you are, you are still my brother, okay? I can't do anything to you!" Carly Evans said plaintively, and then, under Christopher Evans' horrified expression, grabbed his neck and shook violently: "Give me Will's personal phone number! I want to call him and call him!"

"If you don't give it, you don't give it!" Christopher Evans almost rolled his eyes when he was pinched by the second sister. He struggled and said, "No matter what Will is doing now, he must be very busy and upset, I don't want you A nympho to bother him! But can I give you the phone number of his manager, Mr. Goffman?"

"Can this Goffman get in touch with Will?"

"I don't know, Goffman's call is often his assistant, and a man named Eric is answering. Hey, let me tell you, Eric is a fucking sissy. Last time he called, he pulled me, Another man talking about fashion! God, I don't want to listen to half an hour of 'Why orange and white checkered wool socks are perfect for brown oxfords' okay?"

"I think this kind of topic is suitable for you." Carly Evans looked at the Michael Jordan basketball jersey on her younger brother with disgust: "Chatting with GAY can improve your own dressing taste, they are the most fashion-conscious Sensitive people. God, I actually think that if Eric knew that the person he was talking on the phone wore a jersey or T-shirt that looked the same every day, he would definitely hang up on you immediately and refuse to contact you again of."

"Are you implying that I have bad taste in clothes?" Christopher Evans raged.

"Carly, Chris, hey, stop." The eldest sister Shanna Evans came out of her room and went to the dining table to stop her brother and sister from fighting each other: "I just posted a news on the forum, You might be interested."

Carly Evans and Christopher Evans were choking each other's neck while the other was holding each other's arms and glaring at each other. Even if the eldest sister spoke, she had no intention of letting go.

And the youngest brother, Scott Evans, ate his own breakfast and giggled as he watched the big fight.

Shanna Evans sighed, and could only use her trump card: "It's news related to William Bradley."

As if they were frozen, the two siblings of the Evans family stopped their actions instantly, turned to look at Shanna Evans, and their reactions were very unified: "What news?" X2

"William is going to be on the Oprah show."
