super actress

But Rhea soon understood what Jessica was referring to. It should not be a film review, it was probably a report similar to the film review at the Cannes Film Festival, and it was not written specifically for "Lolita".

Under the halo of the excellent competition films of the 48th Cannes International Film Festival, the film exhibitions open to those who want to buy independent films are not so eye-catching.

With hundreds of movies in the competition playing in 13 days, it is impossible for even the most professional film critic to see all of them. Yes, and many of the Cannes films have just finished production, and they are all brand new and unknown.

So people will see columnists writing film reviews one after another, guessing which movie is better, which movie has the hope of winning, and when the list of winners comes out, the news content related to the Cannes Film Festival is all about those few. Respecting the prestigious award, in this case, Jessica can still notice the news reports related to "Lolita", and Rhea also finds it amazing.

She might even search French websites.

Jessica was reading what she saw to Rhea on the phone. She was a little confused. Although she took French courses, she was not that proficient, so the translation was a bit difficult, but Rhea could understand her meaning .

"There are many excellent works in the participating films of this year's Cannes Film Festival. Emil Kusturica's "Underground" is amazing, and Matthew Cassavetes' "Youth of Rage" is also impressive. It has brought a novel experience, and I believe that these two films can gain something in the awards."

"However, to my surprise, I actually saw an excellent cutting-edge work at the side-market exhibition in Cannes. The American director Adrian Lane challenged Kubrick very boldly, using a more innovative Nabokov's "Lolita" is adapted in the same way, and the image of Lolita in this new version of the film is impressive."

"What's interesting is that this independent film from the United States was still bought by the selectors of the American film company at the highest price in the market exhibition of the French Film Festival, and the Americans still bought back the American film from France."

"Lolita" has not yet been released, nor is it a participating film, so the film critic did not disclose the content of the plot, but expressed his own views and evaluations in a subtle way.

"If Kubrick's Lori

The tower is the last ray of light in the dark dusk, and Ryan's Lolita is the most dazzling ray of light at noon.Abandoning the doll-like blond hair and snow skin, this girl with chestnut hair and fair skin is undoubtedly closer to the image of Lolita in the original book.

"And she has bright eyes, lively and intelligent, not just a sweet little lover in the imagination of old men, she has her own personality and way of thinking, and has the right to choose her own destiny, completely jumping out of the impression of a sexy girl who is objectified."

"The film still tells the story from Humbert's point of view, but unlike Kubrick's "Lolita", Ryan did not follow Kubrick's choice of funny ways to show Nabokov's black humor, Instead, he used a realistic narrative method to highlight the absurdity, and he finally restored this controversial book in another way. The first protagonist of this story should never be Humbert who covets the young girl, but the The girl who put her name on the cover——Lolita."

"She is amazing, but also a pity. The rhythm of watching movies for more than ten days has not confused my head at all, but the Lolita portrayed by this unknown young actress has given me a lot. I believe and expect that in the near future, this American girl named Rhea Noren will be as well-known as Lolita."

After reading this very seriously, Jessica suddenly yelled on the phone: "Did you hear that, Rhea? He mentioned your name!"

"I heard it." Rhea responded with mixed emotions. When she heard Jessica read the content, she was extremely nervous, afraid that she would hear criticism, and afraid that Jessica would suppress it and not tell her .

It's not that she can't accept criticism, but she still doesn't want to hear those harsh comments.

I didn't expect this film to get a feedback so soon. Rhea was very surprised, but also a little excited. She finally started to feel the steps of her life. This is the first film she has acted in since she came here. The movie, her first role, Rhea admits she's both looking forward to and nervous.

"Thank you, Jessica, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known there was a movie review."

"Of course it's nothing. I'm building a website for you, so I have to put some content related to you!" Jessica said clearly, "But you have to give me some insider information. You are going to Mexico after finishing the filming. movie? How about it?"

Rhea really didn't think that Jessica was doing this very seriously, but she might

She is really good at doing this kind of thing, at least Rhea herself would never think of going to a foreign website to search for her name.

Because it is not a French film and there is no splash, the other party did not publish the film review in newspapers and magazines, but only posted it on the Internet. This French film critic named Rod Reston does not have many fans, and the comments and hits are also very few. Jessica was able to find it so keenly, which was not an easy task.

"Building a website?"

"Yes, of course, you need a personal website, think about it, how inconvenient an offline fan club is, it's much easier to use online, gather all your information and put it in your own website, If it develops well, you just need to tell me if you have anything to do, and the media will reprint our second-hand information, how cool it is!" Jessica said a little naively, but Rhea was surprised by this thought .

"Like a private IMDb?"

IMDb is the Internet Movie Database. It is an extremely large online database about the film and television industry. It can provide filmmakers with various analysis materials. Of course, it has more uses.

In fact, what Rhea wanted to talk about was private TMZ, a well-known website that reports celebrity gossip news, but it has not yet been established, so she didn't say it.

"Almost, but a little more personal, and there has to be something attractive."

Rhea was thoughtful, "But if it is full of my content, everyone will know that this is my website, and they know that the content inside will definitely be biased towards me, so no one will believe it."

Jessica choked for a moment, but she quickly figured it out following Rhea's words, and she exclaimed: "Wow! You have more ideas than me!"

"So you're talking about a website version of Entertainment Weekly?" she groaned. "Stuff all the celebrity gossip into it? I like the idea, but how do we get so many industry insiders?"

In fact, Rhea just had some ideas after hearing Jessica's words. She didn't have a perfect idea about this aspect. Although she had also contacted paparazzi, reporters, gossip magazines, and even had some lawsuits, the specific It is certainly impossible for her to understand operations and operations as well as her agent, after all, it is her team who deal closely with the other party.

"Maybe I can find some?" Rhea felt that it was not feasible to give up, "No, forget it, I started my personal website before I was famous, it's too narcissistic."

"No, no!" Jesse

Ka begged her: "This is so interesting, don't reject it so quickly, Rhea, we can definitely think about how to do it, anyway, it's not for profit, it's just a hobby!"

"Anyway, this is just your fan site now. I made it, and it has nothing to do with you. You can't stop your little fans from building an online club for you."

That's true, running a website isn't easy at all, and one person can't do it alone, but if Jessica just set up a webpage for fun, then Rhea has no reason to stop her.

As for those development prospects, they were just the imagination of the two girls. Rhea didn't take it seriously. Even if she wanted to, she couldn't do anything about it, because there were endless homework and exams waiting for her.

The theory exam is okay, but the practical class is troublesome.

Rhea couldn't even stay in New York for long, she was going back to Weber Middle School on Monday.

Thinking of it this way, she had all the more reason to welcome her brother Peter Parker in this home, God knows how much time she would be able to spend at home in the future.

But very fortunately, the boy whose parents sent Ben and May to take care of him was very well-behaved. She hadn't seen him cry during the short stay in Rhea, and Ben and May seemed to like him very much.

As soon as the weekend is over, Rhea will go back to school. This is the last night she stays at home this month. The next time she will wait until the weekend of next month, she will go home once a month. This is her and her parents. agreement.

"Rhea!"

May Parker showed her Peter's painting with great interest, and pointed out each character in it to Rhea one by one. She pointed to the golden villain in the middle, "Look, this is you, Peter likes you, Rhea, Ben and I have never been in the middle."

Is there any difference between standing in the middle and standing on the side? Rhea couldn't figure it out, and she couldn't recognize anyone on it, but she thanked Peter anyway, "Thank you, I like it very much."

He looked up at her, the child's brown eyes were big and bright, but Peter just looked at her, and then retracted behind May, which made Rhea wonder if May persuaded him to add it to his painting. her.

However, her mother unconsciously chatted with Peter about not being a picky eater for dinner.

After dinner, Rhea went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. The mother had to take care of the children, and the father had to fix the broken light tube, so she had to help with some housework.

"Place

So... are you okay? "After changing the bad light, Ben Parker walked to Rhea, "May has been looking forward to this moment for a long time, she may be a little too excited, Rhea, this does not mean that we will love you less. "

"I know." At first she was really sad, but Rhea has recovered now, and Peter didn't intend to rob her parents on purpose, his own parents are busy with work and can't take care of him, so he should feel bad too, " You take care of Peter and I take care of you, which is just fine."

Ben smiled, "Don't think that you don't need to be taken care of because you start making money now. People will always need to be taken care of. Don't be too self-righteous."

"Okay, then come and take care of me when Peter grows up."

Now that Rhea can joke with her father, she feels that her family's attitude towards her has changed. They used to be too cautious, but now they are closer.

"If you have been wronged in any way, be sure to tell us, Rhea." Ben put away his smile, but his eyes were still gentle, "If you endure hardships in silence forever, not only will you get used to it, but we will also It's normal, and I definitely don't want that to happen."

Rhea knew what Ben was talking about, she acted too strong, then everyone would get used to her strength, so even if she really couldn't bear one end, no one would pity her.

Crying children have sweets, Rhea understands this truth, but her character determines her way of doing things.

"With you all, I can be so strong."

At this point they were silent for a while, Rhea thought Ben had already left, but he suddenly said: "By the way, the movie you made—"

"No, don't worry, Dad, it's exactly the same as when I signed the contract, and the scale will not be bigger than "Lolita." Similar worries have been heard many times in Rhea, Mexico, and now she is even more helpless.

"I don't mean anything else, I know you're a big girl, of course you can make romantic movies, and you can also have a relationship." polite……"

Rhea shook her head but said nothing.

In fact, filming "Romeo and Juliet" brought her more pressure than "Lolita". People could still point the finger at Jeremy Irons before, but now they can no longer because of Leonardo Di Caprio ignores Rhea.

The casting of Juliet was originally concerned by all parties, and it has gone through another heavy

New casting, in any case, it is impossible for Rhea's election to be silent.

The very promising Kate Winslet did not participate in the audition, and Natalie Portman, who was finally selected, gave up for some reason, but the little-known Rhea Noren snatched it from the now extremely popular Claire Danes Juliet.

After starring in "My So-Called Life", Claire's popularity in the United States has always been very high. She also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series for this American drama, and then acted in the movie "Little Women" It has also achieved success. With such successive exposures and successes, Claire is undoubtedly a new star that is expected by everyone.

However, she lost to Rhea in this role. Some people will definitely be puzzled. At least if the newspaper column Rhea read mentions this "Romeo and Juliet", they are all regretting Claire's loss. of.

But both are very young actresses, no matter how harsh the critics are, they won't make too many comments, unless Rhea's performance is extremely bad when the movie is released, then they can use words to pick and criticize.

Rhea wondered if Ben would include those bad reviews in his collection as well, and she hoped they hadn't seen the questions directed at her.

When the movie is released, everything will be concluded.

However, before the release of "Romeo and Juliet", "Lolita" set a test screening date first.

Rhea herself didn't expect that the movie would be screened so soon, although she knew that the movie was different from the previous "Lolita" because the actors were changed, the script was adjusted, and the scale was changed...

There are too many things that have changed, but she still feels that the movie will encounter all kinds of troubles just like her original world.

What she doubts in her heart is, can such a movie be released smoothly?Can it be liked by the audience?Can it be favored by film critics?

Even if her role in this movie is only to perform the role, the reviews and the box office will still directly affect her own worth and development prospects. Of course Rhea is worried.

In fact, when she learned that [-]th Century Fox Film Company bought the distribution rights of "Lolita", Rhea was only shocked. Everything went so smoothly. Producer Mario Caesar brought the film Going to an exhibition, but won the favor of a big company, hit a hit, and a deal was completed in this way.

And it seems that Fox is not just using this movie as a filler, they are really planning to put "Lolita" on the screen this year.

瑞

Ya guessed rightly that this was Burrard Shayk's plan, and he bought "Lolita" from the film market exhibition in Cannes.

Fox gave him a fortune, and he spent all of it on the movie "Lolita", but there was no objection among his colleagues who came to France with him.

Even Burrard himself did not expect to find such a good American film in France. It was a complete accident that they came to Cannes.

European film festivals have always excluded American films, saying they are international film festivals, but basically those important awards will be divided up by films from various European countries.

But the United States has Hollywood and the Academy Awards.

There is a trend of divergence between American films and European films. Films that have received great response in Europe do not get good results when they are released in the United States, and films that receive low scores from European film critics can win Oscar awards instead. The market for excellent films It seems to be separated, and there is a gap between the tastes of the audience.

It would be more accurate to say that Burrard was sent to pick films than to survey the European film market, and yet he found an excellent American film.

This is really amazing, the quality of this movie is not low, and the style is different from the movies that Fox has planned to release this year. There will be no conflicts, and Burrard wants to buy it immediately.

Even if the film was sent to major film companies, Bollard didn't think anyone would ignore it. He couldn't figure out why the producer Mario Caesar wanted to bring the film to France for sale. Could it be that the French would Pay a higher price?

"Scale, that's what I really care about. It's the censorship that drove me to Cannes." Mario revealed the truth when negotiating with Burrard privately, "If I want to make a movie make money, I have to first Just let it show."

The censorship in France is much more relaxed than in the United States, and the feedback and evaluation he received are not low. The French like this movie, and Mario is unwilling to turn to another producer. Although the other producer also invested money, but In addition to fighting for production rights, Andre Witter didn't care about the life and death of the movie at all.

"But you can make more money in North America." Burrard believes in his own vision. Europe is indeed an important market for movies, but the North American market is even bigger. "Let Fox consider production and distribution. We Able to bring out the full potential of this film."

Seeing the change in Mario's expression, Burrard knew that he had negotiated the deal, and all

Among the people, he paid the highest price. He has already filmed the film for Fox, but they still need to discuss more details. Burrard wants to win a higher box office share for Fox.

And he must prove to his film company that this is indeed a good deal.

When Burrard returned to the U.S. after finishing all his work, he immediately went to Julie Anchar, the executive who had promoted him to the position.

Sexism in Hollywood has always been serious, and Julie, as a woman who has not climbed to Fox executives through other means, can handle all the work properly, which fully proves her ability, her business sense is excellent, even those She can also pick out the most profitable ones from niche literary films and cult films.

Half of this year has passed. Before May, Fox’s films had mediocre response and mediocre box office. It was not until the release of "Braveheart" that it brought Fox an excellent box office result. The continuous praise is the icing on the cake. The success of the film has also made Julie Anchar's positioning more stable.

She was one of those who voted to finance the film at the time.

Burrard knows that Fox is already preparing for the operation of the awards. Everyone knows that "Braveheart" can gain something in the awards, and Fox just hopes that the film can get more, because every nomination can be a reward for the award. They bring in thousands of extra profits.

The box office is a channel for movies to make money, and subsequent DVD sales can also bring in considerable amounts.

"You bought an American movie from France?" Knowing what Burrard has done, Julie is a little interested. She can't be nepotism, and Burrard can only be promoted because of his unique ability. "It's still a new version. "Lolita."

"Yes, Julie, and you will be surprised by this." Burrard is confident, "Who would have thought that after Kubrick and the original author Nabokov, someone would still make a film. Come out with a more decent Lolita!"

Julie Anchar did not express her own opinion. She has not seen the movie with her own eyes, so she will not comment lightly.

Even when the movie started to show, Julie's expression was still cold. Whether it was Jeremy Irons, who won an Oscar, or Rhea Nolen, who played Fox's Juliet, none of them made her expression appear. Changes, but soon, she changed from the indifference at the beginning, and turned to watch the movie with concentration.

Even if she was moved by the plot, she didn't patronize watching the content, but

It is to analyze the pros and cons of the movie with a professional eye and predict the box office of the movie.

It wasn't until the end credits of the movie that Julie Anchar showed an indistinct smile, "What a coincidence, this Lolita also played our "Romeo and Juliet."

This sentence is to express her appreciation for this movie, and her ability to watch a movie from beginning to end also proves her attitude.

Burrard's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly suggested to her: "We can focus our publicity on Jeremy Irons, another abnormal love character after M. Butterfly. Is it a stereotype or a new breakthrough—— "

Raising her eyebrows, Julie quickly interrupted Bollard, "No, this is "Lolita". If the main character is Lolita, it must be her!"

She was pressed on "Braveheart" before, and now she chooses not "Lolita", but Rhea Nolen who has played Juliet and Romeo in front of her, and now she can play Lolita!

"A veteran actor who has passed the peak of his life? Except for film critics who are curious about his acting skills, no one will care about his performance in "Lolita."

She fixed the screen of the movie trial on the close-up of Lolita, the young and bright face was dazzling and gorgeous, Julie Anchar squinted her eyes, "and a beautiful young girl, a 15-year-old A [-]-year-old acting prodigy, a rising star with a bright future, that's what people want to see."

The author has something to say:

Has my name changed? ?Why is the [Comprehensive] in front of me gone? ? ? ? JJ smoked or really gone? ?

There is no second update.
