Saving the world is not as good as chasing stars [US Entertainment]

Going to the cinema to catch a new movie is a good Christmas Day pastime.

Daisy Bell was about to walk into the cinema at this time, and a few friends to pass the time.

Just in time for a Christmas night parade after the movie.

In the cinema on Christmas Day, there are always many audiences, and you may even meet Hollywood stars who come to hold the premiere.

Speaking of Hollywood stars, Daisy Bell couldn't help feeling a little resentful.

Her favorite actress in the past two years, Marguerite Adjani, seems to have lived a secluded life again, not to mention attending various dinner parties, except for filming on film sets, the paparazzi can't even grasp her whereabouts.

CAA really dispatched an excellent team for her. The driver can often throw away the paparazzi following the car within 10 minutes.

As for the Beverly Villa where she lived, it was even more heavily guarded, and it was impossible to easily break into it.

What's more, there have been rumors recently that the three bodyguards around Margaret are not ordinary men who are good at fighting. Not to mention the former Winter Soldier and powerful mutants, even Captain America, who symbolizes the spirit of the United States, has begun to be in charge. her personal safety.

——This is crazy. A Hollywood actress can hire three superheroes as bodyguards?

Based on this matter alone, countless newspapers and periodicals want to interview her every day, and whatever she says will undoubtedly bring hot sales.

However, this contemporary most legendary and mysterious actress has always avoided talking about her private life to the public and the media. Except for awards season, she rarely accepts interviews from the media. Living a life of seclusion in Los Angeles.

It is completely the style of a veteran movie star in the golden age. Except in movies, it is difficult for you to see her.

But in a way, that's not such a bad thing. When her films are released, fans flock frantically to catch a glimpse of this classic beauty.

Not to mention the two films that will be released in March and April next year, "The Pianist on the Sea", which was released in Italy in late October this year, has almost no announcements in North America recently, which is obviously unreasonable.

In the movie theaters at this time, the newly released comedy love movie "Electronic Love Letter" undoubtedly has the highest rate of filming.

The Disney-Pixar 3D computer animation film "A Bug's Life", which was released nearly one month ago, followed closely behind, and "Stay Forward" starring Adam Sandler also won a good number of screenings.

There is no doubt that Yishui's family comedy movie is in line with the atmosphere of the Christmas season.

It seems that there is no other choice. When Daisy was a little disappointed, she suddenly saw a string of words in the corner of the movie show announcement——

The Legend of 1900

"Sea Pianist" was released today? !

Why was there no publicity beforehand?Even on today's premiere day, there are only two filmings?

Her companion, Blake White, was equally astonished, and went directly to the theater manager to ask the reason, and the result was simply unbelievable——

There will only be five theaters in the United States that will show "The Pianist on the Sea", and Los Angeles, the Hollywood stronghold, will have three, but almost all of the filming schedules can be called bad.

God, is the overseas publisher FineLine crazy?

Daisy unbelievably posted this news on the IMDB movie discussion group. A few minutes later, the discussion thread continued to go viral and attracted the attention of thousands of movie fans.

Soon, the reason surfaced——

Overseas distributor FineLine, in violation of the provisions of the Berne Convention on "the final cut of the film belongs to the director", asked the director to cut the film. After being flatly rejected, he maliciously suppressed the release because of a dispute between emotions?

Adjani's fans were furious and called FineLine one after another. Within two hours, FineLine's official email box was flooded with condemning emails from all over the world.

Film distribution has always been affected by many factors, from commercial and political competition for power, it is really difficult to tell the winner.

However, FineLine blatantly violated the "Berne Convention", which is obviously a big taboo in the industry. In addition to the dissatisfaction of movie fans, many well-known directors accepted interviews and issued statements condemning this behavior.

Distributors and directors have always had frequent conflicts on the issue of editing, and often missed the original schedule because of mutual reluctance.

Even if it is finally decided to release, the cunning and cunning distributor will propose to release it on a small scale first to see the effect, and then gradually expand the scale of the screening.

But in fact, the silent and small-scale screening will only completely drag down the box office and momentum of the film, and there will be no follow-up progress to expand the screening scale.

And now, "Sea Pianist" is clearly being treated like this.

This incident even angered many lovers of literary and artistic themes——

Look at the Yishui commercial comedy films that are currently being released during the Christmas season, and then think about the poor film scheduling rate of the extremely romantic "Sea Pianist", it is really an ironic comparison.

Obviously, FineLine has become the target of public criticism. This Christmas was really crazy, and I am afraid they will never forget it.

So on the second day, December 26, [-], contrary to FineLine's continuous decline in stock price, the North American screening scale of "The Pianist on the Sea" exploded, and it reaped the box office it deserved. and attendance.

At least according to the current development, the production cost of 2000 million US dollars can be easily recovered.

As a literary film, it is obviously a success.

However, the North American media's evaluation of this film has obvious polarization——

This is a sea epic, a dynamic poem that captivates, surprises and beautifully. --"Washington post"

The film is seductively constructed from the start to hold our interest in it, and Adjani's presence is exhilarating. -- "Los Angeles Times"

"The Pianist on the Sea" has a scene that is easily worth the price of admission - the Virginia is tilted back and forth in the Pacific storm, and the 1900 in the banquet hall is playing with the moving piano, as if waltzing on the floor, gorgeous And interesting. -- "Philadelphia Inquirer"

This is the kind of film that both rewards you well and tests your patience. -- "Chicago Tribune"

Insightful, irresistible movies, not this simple, make up your own fables, look beautiful, but meaningless movies, Ajani did not contribute her due acting skills, which is disappointing . -- "San Francisco Examiner"

The movie swings wildly between fairy tale and drama endlessly.An extremely romantic literary epic?I think it is an extreme insistence on sentimentalism. --"Weekly newspaper"

Obviously, this film cannot please all film critics, but Adjani's performance surprised fans.

She didn't have many roles, only four scenes, and she didn't even have a chance to show her acting skills.

But what is surprising is that under the lens of director Tornatore, Ajani's beauty is beyond imagination.

A strong romantic style is a major feature of Tornadore's works, and in this film, he accurately magnified Adjani's extraordinary beauty.

The audience in the cinema seems to be 1900 at this moment, looking at the young girl on the deck through the porthole.

The sea breeze blew her black hair, as if God couldn't help caressing her delicate facial features, those ice-blue eyes, sad and mysterious, just a look, can make people feel the love that comes from worship .

Adjani's unique beauty and sad loneliness are magnified to the extreme by Tonadore. It seems that she does not need any description, and she is full of moving stories.

So even the film critics who were optimistic about Adjani in the past did not buy her performance that could not show her acting skills in this film.

But many young people are particularly fascinated by her beauty, and even entered the theater screening hall for the second and third time for the short four scenes.

At the end of this century, besides Leonardo DiCaprio, Adjani may be the one who can conquer all American teenagers by virtue of her beauty alone.

At this time, these two young people who were favored by God and endowed with amazing beauty were sitting in the corner of a projection hall in a remote, unoccupied small theater.

"I think my big boat is better." Leo raised his eyebrows, looking sideways at the black-haired beauty beside him.

Margaret was noncommittal, but just shrugged and said, "You became the king of the world with that big ship."

In the dark theater, Leo's blond hair still looked very beautiful, "When are you going to shoot a movie with me, I heard that you rejected the invitation to shoot "The Beach", I am really disappointed, the heroine Franco Yi is a French girl in the story, it was just made for you."

What Leo didn't mention was that the hero and heroine had an extremely romantic kiss scene in the water.

Marguerite didn't seem to notice Mr. Heartthrob's special thoughts at all, she explained, "I will join the filming of the love biopic "Rodin's Lover" co-produced by France and the United States in March, which coincides with the shooting date of "The Beach". , obviously cannot be balanced.”

Leo frowned, "Why didn't I receive the invitation to shoot?"

Margaret threw a popcorn into her mouth, "Probably because Rodin is 43 years old, and you still look like a pretty boy?"

Mr. Heartthrob, who is being sought after all over the world, said disappointedly, "For the first time, I wish I was a fat middle-aged man"

Margaret said honestly, "Then I'm afraid I won't accept any private invitations from you, Mr. DiCaprio."

Leo complained indignantly, "You really only fancy my beauty!"

Margot nodded, "So you must always remember not to disfigure your face."

Leonardo: In addition to fitness, I am afraid that skin care cannot be left behind.
