super actress

"Please tell me I can get a ticket to a preview of Lolita."

Outside the Raymond Alf Museum at Webb Middle School, Jessica Lee is holding Rhea's hand and begging. I will pay you my living expenses!"

"Jessica, it's not worth that much money at all." Seeing the teacher in the team glance over, Rhea smiled at him, making sure the teacher turned back, she turned her head and continued talking to Jessica Talk, "And the movie is rated R, I can't even watch it myself, can you go and watch it?"

Jessica was a little frustrated, "Then I can only wait until the movie is released, and then ask my parents to take me to see it?"

Listening to these words, Rhea was a little uneasy and helpless, "I don't even know if anyone will come to the test screening."

Jessica stared at her, her black almond eyes were still bright under the single eyelid.

The yellow-skinned Jessica has been in Los Angeles for a long time and has a beautiful honey-yellow tan. Her facial features are flat and clear, and she looks very energetic after tanning. Satisfied and unconcerned, Rhea envied her skin.

The skin of the yellow race is much more delicate than that of the white race. Although Rhea has worked hard on it, and she has taken good care of it, but the racial talent will still bring different appearance effects, and it is difficult for her to show the tan color .

Although they are all basking in the sun, white people will tan in the sun, and yellow people will tan in the sun. Due to their physical fitness, it is difficult for Rhea to get the favor of the sun.

"What are you talking about!" Jessica cheered up Rhea, "You are getting discouraged before it even starts, how can this be done! Besides, even if those film critics don't come to see you, why don't you Don't you want to watch Jeremy Irons' new movie, he is an Oscar winner!"

Even though the Oscars are very valuable and famous, the general public, even if they know all about celebrity gossip, will not remember the past actor and actress. A good actor with good acting skills and a famous actor with high popularity are not always the same thing .

Moreover, Jeremy always acts in literary and cult movies, and it is even more impossible for Jessica to watch them, but she does know a lot about Hollywood. She applied to Weber Middle School because it is close to Hollywood and can Meet the expectations of her parents.

She is not very interested in being an actor, but she especially likes to study those actors and stars who live under the spotlight, and she also hopes to be able to walk anytime, anywhere

Walk along the Avenue of Stars full of names.

That's why Jessica came to Weber School, and now she lives in the same dormitory with Rhea, who is really an actor, which greatly aroused her curiosity.

"Besides, the trial screening arranged by Fox, even if it is a meaningful small-scale screening, there will definitely be people watching it for face."

Rhea knew that what Jessica said was right, and she didn't understand those reasons. Many things she was worrying about now were actually very meaningless. If no one really came, it would be useless for her to worry about it.

Still, she couldn't help being anxious, and what she showed on the surface wasn't a tenth of what she really was.

"As for the audience, you don't have to worry about it. Is there anyone who will refuse the opportunity to watch a movie for free?" Jessica said clearly, "I'm still worried that I won't win the draw. I want to get one from you!"

Seeing Jessica's expectant expression, Rhea felt even more nervous. The trial screening was like the first public execution. The target audience of this literary film is different from that of commercial films. For "Tower", the most important thing at the moment is the opinions of film critics and whether it can make a word of mouth before the release, which will directly affect the film's screening rate and attendance rate.

Some film critics will be invited during the test screening, and "Lolita" must first satisfy their tastes, and the audience is second.

After Malloy told Rhea the news, she began to get nervous. Although she looked fine, she was still very upset in her heart. Her mood has almost become a habit. Usually, after the movie is officially released, Rhea Ya can fully recover.

This is to tell her that before the execution, the most anxious thing is the waiting time for the sentence after knowing it. After Rhea was actually executed, she could breathe a sigh of relief.

At least it seems that Fox, which has already spent a sum of money, wants to put the movie on the screen anyway, otherwise they will not get back the investment.

This is actually equivalent to a premiere simulation.

Even Rhea's parents have something to do, so they can't take her to see "Lolita", which is classified as R, but Jeremy Irons still went to the Arena Cinema in Los Angeles to participate in Fox's insistence. preview.

When she was informed about the film's progress, Malloy also offered her a suggestion, "It's time for me to find you a publicist."

Rhea knew that there would be a time when she hired a team, but she didn't expect this day to come so soon. Technically speaking, she is actually a part-time actress now, and she has to go to school after filming

.

The assistants that Malloy hired for her were also temporary, usually only with one crew, or only with one place, and they were not entirely Rhea's assistants.

Who would have thought that the opportunity would come so suddenly and in a timely manner, and now she has made two films, both of which are heroines. This starting point is so high that she can't believe it.

"Are you sure?"

"We always have to be prepared for emergencies." Malloy is very cautious. Rhea is the youngest of his clients but also the one he is most optimistic about. He must protect her in order to expect more benefits in the future.

Yes, if Lolita were to come out, for better or for worse, it would certainly be controversial, and her past might be revealed, and she wondered if the studios would hold those things down, which would be an excellent opportunity in itself. gimmick -

Lolita in reality and Lolita in the movie.

Rhea's willingness to take the initiative to disclose is two different things from being reported by the media. She cannot passively wait for others to guide public opinion.

Thinking of her still meager net worth, Rhea just wanted to sigh. After Malloy’s negotiations and negotiations, her final salary for Juliet was 45. She didn’t know Jeremy Irons’ salary before, and she didn’t feel much. , but she knows Leonardo's salary, he has 150 million.

Although he knew that he was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor and that his work was on the rise, Rhea still felt a huge gap.

If she doesn't work hard, this gap will only widen and widen. Cruel stories where the main character gets 2000 million and the supporting role is only tens of thousands won't just happen in the Chinese entertainment industry. Hollywood's pay gap is also extremely snobbish.

Rhea knew that in "The Wolf of Wall Street" also starring Leonardo, he got 2500 million US dollars and a share of the movie's box office. It was Jonah who won the Oscar, but the proportion of this salary distribution also impressed Rhea extremely.

In the entertainment industry, the more you earn, the more you spend, and $6 is definitely not enough to support a behind-the-scenes team.

Although Rhea doubted whether her little money could attract a capable publicist, she still handed it over to Malloy, who had the right to veto and choose in the end anyway.

Rhea is still more worried about her upcoming movie than her team.

However, no matter how anxious Rhea was, she still ushered in the preview day of "Lolita". Because of the particularity of this movie, Fox also

Instead of making a gimmick like the premiere, some film critics and audience were invited to the Arena cinema in a low-key manner, and the film was played for the first time in the cinema.

One of the critics invited to see the film was Owen Gilberman, a columnist for Entertainment Weekly who, like many of his colleagues, received an invitation from Fox without looking for any excuse to actually come. Not many people went to the Arena Cinema to watch a movie.

He dressed casually today, he didn't wear too formal clothes, but this does not represent his attitude towards this movie, he just likes to enjoy movies in a relaxed and natural atmosphere.

In fact, he still has some expectations for this movie. Owen has read the original book and Stanley Kubrick's "Lolita". He is very curious about how Adrian Lane will adapt this classic and controversial "Lolita", the director with bold and unique ideas back then became a blockbuster with "Flash Dance", and won three Academy Award nominations in one go.

Ryan's understanding and attempts at imagery are worthy of recognition, but Owen still has some doubts about Ryan's filming of "Lolita". And so on are all taboo and obsessive movies with a large scale. What Irwin is worried about is that he will also make "Lolita" a peachy movie full of sexual tension.

The relationship between sex and desire under the age and identity differences is indeed the focus of "Lolita", but the irony and banter of the male protagonist in the original work are also one of the focuses. Irving takes an objective view of Nabokov's works and does not blindly Contradicting and criticizing, he thought it was an excellent literary work.

And he hopes to see a restored classic "Lolita".

Kubrick's version of "Lolita" has the core of the original work, but it has added too many Kubrick's unique features. Even the script written by the original author Nabokov himself has been revised by the director. Brick's film, which has lost the flavor of "Lolita".

"Owen, I didn't expect you to come too."

Many people recognized him, and some friends even came to say hello to him, but Owen didn't see a few heavyweights. It seems that people's attitude towards this movie is mainly not optimistic, even Jeremy · Irons did not call too many film critics.

After all, this is "Lolita". The novel's beautiful writing can cover up a bit of the ugly truth. After moving to the screen, no matter how exquisite and beautiful the picture is, it can't cover up the fact that the girl and the old man go out together.

If you are not careful, you will attract criticism from the public opinion circles.

The performance of Fox Films is also relatively ambiguous. It is difficult to see whether they value this movie or not. Executive Julie Anchar has come, which proves that they still have expectations for the movie. Any big ostentation, this can not help but make people suspicious.

Fox already has "Braveheart" this year, and is no longer eager to have an annual movie, but no film company will refuse to come with a few more excellent works, so I don't know whether "Lolita" will add to Fox's icing on the cake or wipe it out black.

As soon as this film project came out, it ushered in a wave of negative reviews. Some people even asserted that the film would not be sold. Mario Caesar once wanted to sell the film to Europe, but in the end it was bought back by Fox. U.S.

Owen heard that the evaluation from France was not bad, which made him have certain expectations. Jeremy Irons must be the most important protagonist. He hopes that the acting skills of this British actor will allow him to jump out of the role of abnormal love In the long run, always playing such extreme side roles will bring a lot of negative effects.

He knew the lead actress was new, Lolita was her first movie, her first role, and Owen Gilberman sincerely hoped that Lane and Mario got the right roles, even from the point of view of the lead actor To tell the whole story, the shaping of Lolita is the key.

If after watching the whole movie, people focus instead on Jeremy, who is superbly acted, it is actually a disaster, and it must not be made into a story about whitewashing pedophilia.

Owen was still thinking about it. He tried to predict the movie through the host's introduction and opening, but he didn't have to wait too long. The lights in the cinema dimmed quickly, and images began to play on the big screen.

Now that everyone is here, he will definitely take the movie seriously, so Owen raised his head attentively, because it is a movie produced and released by Fox, and a familiar logo appeared in the opening credits.

However, just as Owen was guessing whether to enter the plot directly or play an opening scene introducing the cast first, a violent gunshot sounded in the dark space of the movie, which scared everyone in the cinema.

"Bam—!"

The camera gradually brightened up, and a man in a state of embarrassment fell on the sofa dripping blood.

How daring Adrian Lane is to start with the most conflicted ending!With the excitement of breaking expectations, Owen's eyes lit up.
