Chapter 555: Romantic Cruelty
Although you can't care too much about how many like-minded people you have when you interact with women in Hollywood, if there are too many like-minded people in the same time period, the risk factor will increase infinitely, after all, no one can guarantee how many like-minded people there will be in another target.
By analogy, the risk factor is definitely not a matter of one plus one greater than two.
For example, the rumors about Jessica Alba in her previous life, maybe this sweet sister was only dating that sports star at that time, but it is unknown how many like-minded people the sports star has.
It can only be said that most people will have higher pursuits when they have money, and this part of the pursuit often includes handsome men and beautiful women.
Of course, Ronan is not qualified to say anything about anyone else, because he is one of those vulgar people.
However, most of the people who can make him target are female stars or super models, and German friend Tony Koch has a very correct saying, the psychological and spiritual feelings brought by female stars are completely different.
Ronan had a drink with Will Smith for a while, and Tom Cruise rushed over.
"I'm sorry. Tom Cruise smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's a little delayed for the time being, so I've kept you waiting." ”
Will Smith remembered Ronan's words and asked, "Over at the church?"
Tom Cruise nodded: "There's an event in a while that I need to organize." ”
Ronan poured Tom Cruise a glass of wine, handed it to him, and asked, "Isn't it going to be another fundraiser?"
Tom Cruise shrugged slightly: "A small fundraiser. ”
Seeing that Tom Cruise didn't want to say anything, Ronan didn't ask anymore that Scientology might be preparing to raise funds to build a spaceship so that the Church Master could fly into the universe and find scientific truth.
This is not a joke, because Scientology is, in some ways, not a magic sect at all, but a science fiction sect.
For example, the agreement Tom Cruise signed with Scientology when he was young and ignorant has a clause similar to that when the Scientology boss wants to enter the universe one day, Tom Cruise must board a spaceship and accompany him.
Many sects that seem unbelievable to outsiders to the point of nonsense always attract many loyal believers, some even high-ranking intellectuals.
People are really wonderful creatures sometimes.
Ronan didn't say much, raised his glass to Tom Cruise, and said, "Will and I were celebrating his goodbye to Sister Williams." ”
Tom Cruise clinked glasses with Will Smith next to him, took a sip of his wine, and said, "Congratulations, Will, you've saved your kidneys." ”
Will Smith asked dissatisfiedly, "Am I so weak?" He took the bottle and poured it for the three of them: "I'll tell you a secret, I attended Jeff's party some time ago...... Oh, it's wonderful you can't imagine. ”
Jeff was Will Smith's rap partner.
"Low-end party. Tom Cruise shook his finger and said solemnly, "I attended a high-level gathering in Manhattan, New York, organized by another denomination, and they mainly recruited celebrity female believers, and those female believers gave their ...... wholeheartedly."
Ronan asked, "Like in Eyes Wide Open?"
Tom Cruise shook his head: "It's much crazier than that, there are a lot of female celebrities in it, and they take the initiative to develop believers for the sect, specifically looking for female celebrities." ”
Ronan had vaguely heard: "Isn't this a Stockholm syndrome patient?"
Will Smith continued, "Well, I seem to have heard about this too, a new sect that only develops female believers, and that sect leader is really happy." ”
Ronan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Will, if you want to do this, it's much easier than him, there will be countless female fans who will sacrifice themselves for you." ”
This is not an exaggeration at all, there is really such an opportunity, there will be countless female fans who will tear Will Smith to pieces and eat them, without even spitting up the bones.
Tom Cruise said: "Ronan, your conditions are much better than ours, and if you want, many female stars will be happy to communicate with you further." ”
Ronan shrugged and told the truth, "I don't have that many characters on my hands. ”
With that, all three laughed, and then toasted again.
After taking the bottle and pouring the wine, Ronan remembered something and said: "William of England may come to Los Angeles in January and February next year in a private capacity, and he called me two days ago, and I think it is necessary to receive him." ”
"When are you coming?" asked Tom Cruise.
Will Smith also looked at Ronan with interest, and they were also interested in making contact with William.
Ronan put down the bottle and said, "The exact time has not been determined. ”
Tom Cruise said: "I know his mother very well and have been to her funeral. ”
Will Smith asked, "How do you want to be received?"
"A warm reception, of course. Ronan said naturally: "Willian will be president of the FA next year, and I'm interested in a football club in England. ”
Tom Cruise immediately understood what Ronan meant: "You want to buy a football team to play with?"
Ronan nodded: "There is this plan." ”
Will Smith shook his head: "It is said that English football clubs rarely make money, they are all money-throwing games, not that poor people like me can afford to play." ”
Tom Cruise didn't care about the football club and said: "Ronan, William is sure to inform me of the trip, this is also the son of an old friend. ”
Ronan said, "No problem. He glanced at his watch: "It's almost ready over there, let's go to the theater." ”
He led the way and joined Tom Cruise and Will Smith into the manor's private theater, where the butler Nikia was waiting.
After receiving Ronan's orders, Nikia informs the screening room to begin, and a version of Infernal Affairs with English subtitles appears on the screen.
Will Smith and Tom Cruise stared at the big screen very seriously because they knew very well that Ronan wasn't just going to let them come over to watch a Hong Kong-style cop movie.
Ronan didn't say much before the movie was screened, and began to watch "Infernal Affairs" intently.
Purely from the audience's point of view, this film is indeed very exciting, which can be called the peak of Hong Kong-style movies, and even from Ronan's own point of view, "Infernal Affairs" is much better than the former "Departed".
However, after all, film is inseparable from the social environment and cultural background, and it is impossible to ignore these factors and exist alone.
Bringing a Hong Kong-style film to North America, the imagination is very beautiful, but the reality is very cruel.
Embassy Pictures has already released "Infernal Affairs" in North American theaters, but the box office is not even enough for publicity and distribution, so it can only rely on offline leasing to slowly recoup the cost.
Ronan gradually immersed himself in the movie, revisited the classics again, and found that "Infernal Affairs" is still very good and attractive.
This film is not as rough as traditional Hong Kong films, and the details are particularly in place.
For example, Huang Zhicheng and Chen Yongren met for the last time and met Han Chen.
When the two separated, Huang stopped Chen, and then said "nothing", which presumably hinted at a bad ending.
Huang picked up the newspaper and pretended to be a passerby, in terms of acting skills, impeccable, once when Ronan watched "Infernal Affairs" for the first time, he even thought that Huang would probably be able to survive the danger smoothly.
But the movie is romantic and cruel, the sky is not what people want, and the moment the elevator door is intercepted, it makes people's hearts cold.
It's just that Ronan still didn't expect that Huang would be thrown directly from the high-rise building.......
Then there is the classic rooftop duel, the romantic and beautiful shots and atmosphere make people easily think of the decisive battle between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Blowing Snow at the top of the Forbidden City.
On the night of the full moon, the top of the Forbidden City, a sword comes from the west, and immortals fly outside the sky.
Also, Simon blows snow not snow, but snow.
Because of the inevitable differences in cultural backgrounds, this kind of oriental beauty has an endless cruel romance, which is also difficult for most Westerners to understand.
Changing the background and putting it in a Western-style social environment, it is not difficult to find that Martin Scorsese once handled it very well.
That group of vulgar Boston gangsters, where there is any romance at all, can only be rough and rough.
But this kind of thing, in the context of the East, especially in the usual mood of Hong Kong-style movies, is not very suitable.
So, there is cruelty in aesthetic romance.
The last headshot, Liu and Liang acted very well, their eyes were full of shock, the latter died in the elevator, the elevator door closed and opened, closed and opened again, the shot was romantic and beautiful, but it brought people endless cruelty.
This is completely different from the realistic cruelty of Hollywood gangster movies, but it is just as cruel and heart-wrenching.
Perhaps, this also reflects another aspect of Eastern culture: who said that good people have good rewards, and those who eliminate harm for the people are mostly dead.
After the first part was played, Ronan didn't stop, and directly asked people to play the second part.
Undoubtedly, it may be because the relationship between the second part was not planned at all, and "Infernal Affairs 2" feels slightly inferior to the first part, but it is just as exciting.
This series is a milestone for Hong Kong films, which can be called the last glory, releasing endless cinematic brilliance.
In addition, countless classic lines were left behind.
"Come out and mix, sooner or later you will have to pay it back. ”
These words have long since become timeless classics.
Later, as long as someone has an accident, there will always be someone who follows this comment - come out and mix, sooner or later you will have to pay it back.
and Lao Wu in "Infernal Affairs 2", perhaps this is the pinnacle performance of his actor career, at least one of them.
In the small land of Hong Kong City, the fierce competition in the film industry is actually no worse than Hollywood, and the fierce competition has also brought about the necessary improvement of actors' abilities, so the acting skills of many Hong Kong actors are really excellent.
In the eighties and nineties, many acting schools were no less than the Oscar winners.
After watching the two films in a row, Ronan beckoned Tom Cruise and Will Smith out of the theater and into a break room, where the first draft of the script had already been prepared.
