Chapter 120 Killer
Taking off his sunglasses and putting down his purse, Tom Cruise and his wife sat in the VIP box on the second floor of the cinema, watching the time approaching midnight, waiting for the movie that rejected them to start.
Compared to the gloomy Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman's face is slightly better, there is no special expression on the sickly white face, she knows very well that jealousy and anger will not solve any problem, Duke? Rosenberg's progress seems to be unstoppable. If Independence Day can get a global box office of about 500 million US dollars, it will definitely establish the status of Hollywood's first-tier directors in one fell swoop.
Although the other party rejected her audition, and there was a verbal conflict with each other some time ago, Nicole Kidman didn't want to care too much. Recently, her agent has been looking for a way to get closer. The director is far better than the relationship.
pity……
Pale blue eyes turned to the side. It was her husband, who seemed to have no plans to reconcile with Duke Rosenberg, even though Pat Kingsley had reminded him several times.
Nicole Kidman is very clear that since Duke Rosenberg rejected Cruise's role in Independence Day with a salary of $5 million, his good husband has picked up again. In view of the grievances and grievances caused by Brave on the Dead Island and Interview with the Vampire, he made time to watch Independence Day tonight. Details.
Although Tom Cruise never mentioned it, Nicole Kidman could guess that he must have other moves in the future.
Under the brilliance of Beverly Hills, there is always a lot of darkness concealed.
About 3 miles west of this theater, there is a mansion that has been guarded by paparazzi for the past year. The once world-famous gentleman's spokesperson has become a piece of shit that fell into the stinky ditch under their pen and photos. .
Sean Connery, sitting in the living room of the mansion, with his hair neatly combed back to his head and his beard neatly groomed, looks like a real gentleman, but his gloomy eyes sparkle that others can't detect. Liman.
Sean, are you really going to do this?
Opposite Connery is his most trusted friend, who has been acting as his publicist, This is not a small amount!
$3 million is nothing to me! Sean Connery's words seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, Jack, contact all the famous film critics, I want them to send a message about that bastard's film. Worst of all criticism! Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox don't have PR critics, so the vampires must be very upset!
Sean, do this...
The man named Jack was clearly concerned, It won't do you much good for your career.
Career? Sean Connery's teeth were almost clenched together, Jack, do you think I still have a career to speak of? Even if it's worse, can it be worse than it is now? My privacy has all been exposed. Now, what about Warners and Fox? Find someone to kill me?
Jack didn't answer, things were just like what Sean Connery said, the image of a gentleman that he depended on to survive in Hollywood was completely destroyed, the scandals were all over the place, CAA almost hid him, divorce and division lawsuits were endless, for a year Not getting any job is the worst possible situation for a Hollywood star.
Duke Rosenberg!
The name was literally squeezed out of Sean Connery's teeth, Jack, I must see him unlucky! See him doom! I have definite news that the mother and son have his support behind them. The famous lawyer who they are fighting for the family property should be someone from Duke Rosenberg who helped to find it!
Even Sean Connery felt that his scandal was exposed and he had something to do with that guy, although there was no evidence.
Calm down! Sean!
Those who know these stars best are often their public relations and agents. Jack knows that Connery is an impulsive person. What you need most now is calm, and impulsiveness can't solve any problems.
Contact the film critic as soon as possible. Sean Connery took two deep breaths and temporarily suppressed his anger, Especially Roger Albert!
Don't worry, I'll do it!
With a nod to Sean Connery, the publicist strode out of the mansion.
A director, even a director with more experience than others, wants to rush to the top of the director's world, as difficult as the earthlings defeat the brutal aliens in Independence Day.
In this extremely competitive circle, competitors will not just shout a few slogans in the air and put some mouth guns...
In the theaters on the Upper East Side in New York, the midnight show of Independence Day has kicked off.
A huge shadow shrouded the moon, and the American flag and the lunar surface kept shaking under the shadow. Irene held her breath and held Anna's hand unconsciously, and then saw a huge spaceship flying towards the earth. , Thinking of the content in the trailer and poster introduction, her hand trembled slightly, the Earth Defense War is about to start!
Typical Duke Rosenberg style. Anna let Irene hold her hand, but habitually began to analyze, There is no gossip, and there is no inexplicable ignorance, and the film goes straight to the point from the beginning. , without any hesitation!
It's about to start! Erin couldn't help muttering.
Right next to her, David Dembey, a film critic from The New Yorker, frowned tightly. The first scene at the beginning of the film is a special effect, which is completely ostentatious. It's not that special effects can't be used in the film, but if you need it, you can do it like this? Can't we take a slow and gradual narrative approach?
Beginning, failure! He directly wrote a sentence on the notebook.
However, when the huge spaceship was getting closer and closer to the earth, the fully rendered shots with modelling and CGI special effects caused bursts of exclamations and admiration in the cinema, just like they saw Dwarf in the cinema last year. Like the Tyrannosaurus Rex in Luoji Park, he was stunned.
This is the best special effects technology available today!
Anna, a film graduate, is convinced of this, and so is Sarah, a female reporter for the Los Angeles Times.
The film is still using the method of parallel montage to explain the human life before the advent of the alien spaceship, and to create several characters who are obviously the protagonists. Duke Rosenberg's best explosion scene has not yet appeared, but sitting in Los Angeles Sarah in the Municipal Cinema, you can see from the breathless and serious expressions of the audience around her, the film is very, very attractive!
Hollywood, the White House, the Capitol, the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Empire State Building... Countless iconic buildings across the United States are shrouded in the shadow of alien spaceships.
Over New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago and other big cities, after the gorgeous fire clouds dissipated, the alien spacecraft revealed its true body!
From kids to cops to taxi drivers on screen, audiences from New York to Los Angeles, Seattle to Miami were stunned!
This elaborate special effect may be unsatisfactory in Duke's eyes, but in the eyes of the audience of this era, it is the top and most real existence!
In the theater near the University of Southern California, Allen, Jones, and Kunites' eyes were round and their mouths were slightly open, as if they had seen something unbelievable. The expressions they showed can only be described in one word— - Shock!
God, save me! Kunites held his chest. With Independence Day, how can you watch other special effects movies!
Duke Rosenberg is destroying all Hollywood special effects movies!
The fire gradually dissipated, and the film entered a slightly slower transitional plot. Jones seized the opportunity and said to the two companions next to him, This summer's film with special effects as its selling point is over!
It must be finished! Allen echoed.
Ordinary movie fans are naturally most concerned about special effects. They are all waiting, waiting to witness the moment when major cities and iconic buildings in the United States are destroyed by aliens, waiting to see the complete version of the White House scene...
Sitting in a cinema in Chicago, Roger Albert's focus is definitely not special effects. Although he is not a firm anti-special effect and a big investmentist, as a 'very smart' film critic, he must focus on other places. aspect.
Such as the structure and narrative of the film.
In addition to the theme of alien attack and how human beings should respond, director Duke Rosenberg also started from the subtle, and firmly grasped some of the issues that North American audiences are most concerned about, which can not only relieve the suspense and big scenes The nerves are tense, and it can also play the role of embellishing the theme and promoting the development of the story, so as to use the limited space to shape the flesh and blood of several main characters.
For example, the film celebrates family affection from several angles.
The federal president and his wife love their daughter. Duke Rosenberg emphasized that the president has been thinking about his daughter and wife. At many critical moments, the president nervously asked his subordinates—where is my daughter—in fact , there are not many scenes together, but the director easily made the image of the president loves his children deeply imprinted in the audience's mind.
Even if Roger Albert considers himself elegant and refined, he has to admit that the United States advocates the mainstream value orientation of family first. The president's family is simply a model of the family in the United States. Duke Rosenberg tried his best to describe the president of the United States The concept of family first will undoubtedly please mainstream audiences.
And the Latino pilot who used alcohol to relieve his worries, bravely crashed into the alien spaceship for the sake of his child. The biggest reason for him to do so was not some ethereal and false emptiness, but to protect Your own children, dedicated to the family.
Roger Albert is very clear that this kind of sacrifice for family love, although it seems extremely cliché, is often the most moving tear gas bomb in the movie. Berg designed this way, also to please the audience.
Yes, in his opinion, whether it is an explosion or a description of family love, Duke Rosenberg, the director, always adheres to the mainstream value orientation, and uses the most vulgar and most annoying ways to please the market and audience. , but the most disgusting thing about the film is another!
And this scene has detonated the emotions of ordinary audiences in the United States, and it can be called the biggest killer of the film except for special effects!
