Chapter 97: Watching a Movie
Hollywood's promising new stars have failed to win awards and nominations, and they have taken on several films in one go, so they are so happy and insatiable? However, if they focus so much on quantity and not on quality, they may be far from the Oscars and Golden Globes?
What the is this?!
Natel angrily tore the newspaper in half and threw it in the trash, he didn't even have the heart to collect such unwarranted smear news. Look at the author's use of evidence to list the reasons in a conclusive tone, a hypocrisy, saying that Theorod, dressed as a "street punk", personally admitted that there was more than one movie this year, and when the reporter asked him if he took many movies because he wanted to win awards, the other party did not answer, maybe it was a tacit acquiescence...... What a ghost by default!
Nattle thought about it, and apart from the fact that the few snapshots were quite pleasing to the eye, every word written by this reporter made him extremely disgusted.
In this regard, Theolod just smiled indifferently, in the previous life, when he was "insatiable", no one dared to really put these things on the table and say it, but in this life, when he was indifferent to fame and fortune, those reporters thought that he was bent on pursuing fame and fortune. And the reasons they listed are swearing, which really makes people laugh.
"Let them go, it's like trying to cover up everything at this time, and it's better to wait for Marshall and Twentieth Century Fox to agree on a contract, and then announce the two films of the year together on the official website. Theolod said so calmly, soothing Nattel, who was clearly unhappy.
That's exactly what happened, when his two films this year, "Fight Club" and "The Talented Ripley", were announced, all the rumors about him were shattered.
Although the official did not reveal too much content about "Fight Club", according to the director's name David Fincher and the classification of the movie, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is definitely a cult film. As for "The Genius Ripley", although the director is Anthony Minghella, who has directed the Oscar for Best Picture and won the Oscar for Best Director, this film based on the novel of the same name and has already had a previous work of "Wrecked in the Angry Sea" does not look like a movie that can attract the attention of the academy no matter how you look at it.
If Theolod really wants to get nominations and awards, then he shouldn't choose cult films that are inherently at odds with the Oscars, and crime thrillers that are extremely easy to ignore by the Oscars. Moreover, most people who have studied movies know the plot direction of "The Genius Ripley", which undoubtedly weakens many of the movie's selling points.
However, Theolod saw that Nattle still seemed to be thinking about something, he thought for a while, and said: "I'm going to take Maggie to the cinema this Wednesday to see the recently hyped "Titanic", Nat, are you interested in going together? Come on, how long have you not been able to relax and relax? By the way, bring your mother and sister, I haven't seen them for a long time." โ
โโฆโฆ No, I can take them myself, it just so happens that Corlia has been calling me 'Leon Leon' lately, and she said that her classmates have all gone to see "Titanic", but she didn't. Natl shook his head, he didn't want to burden and press Theorod too much. And when he mentioned this, he was a little troubled, his sister is sixteen years old this year, just the age of youth, and for some reason she chased the star, and tried every way to ask him for help to sign it, of course, she was rejected by Nattel.
"It's okay, let's go together, just when I reward you for all the hard work you've done last year, and Maggie hasn't seen Helen and Corlia for a long time. Theolod patted Nattel on the shoulder, and then called Marshall without saying a word, asking him to help get five tickets for the "Titanic" movie.
"Titanic" received a lot of attention before its release because of its huge investment. But the time between the start of filming and the release of the film was too long, and nearly four years used up most people's patience, until recently, when the film was about to be released, the critics began to heat up again.
And this greatest Olympic-class luxury cruise ship of the early twentieth century, at the beginning of its release, rolled up a stormy wave, almost crushed a movie released at the same time, and occupied the weekly box office championship for several weeks in succession with an irresistible momentum, countless girls fell madly in love with the charming and affectionate Jack in the play, and the film even drove the sales development of the entire tissue industry. Its momentum has almost shaken the entire Hollywood, and even countless celebrities have been moved by the love between Jack and Ross, and have issued statements in support of "Titanic".
Even an old man of Maggie's age has heard of "Titanic" and wants Theolod to take her to the cinema to see it, which is enough to show the great influence of this movie on people of all ages.
Of course, Theorod also heard about this magical movie that grossed nearly $160 million in just three weeks after it was released in the United States, and he remembered that in his world, there were also several film giants with irresistible momentum, no matter which one of them, it was a classic among the classics, naturally, "Titanic" aroused Theorod's great interest, but he had not had time to go to the cinema to find out before.
On the afternoon of the 7th, Corlia finally had the opportunity to watch "Titanic", which made her excited, among several of her good friends, she was the only one who hadn't seen this movie, and every time they talked about "Titanic" and talked about Jack, she couldn't insert/put it into her mouth, which made her very unwilling.
But her brother didn't seem to have any intention of queuing up to buy tickets, and he kept standing outside the movie theater, not knowing who he was waiting for. You must know that "Titanic" is almost hard to find, almost all the seats are full, many people start queuing up to buy tickets in the early morning in order to see it at a good time, even if it has been in theaters for three weeks, Nattle doesn't want to queue up now, does he really want to watch the last show today?
Looking at the long queue at the ticket window, Coria said to her mother, Helen, "Mom, why don't we go to the line?" Do you think he's waiting for his girlfriend? Only girls are late when they go to their boyfriend's dates. โ
"Natle has been very busy, how can he have time to find a girlfriend? Maybe he just has something to do, after all, now that he is taking time to watch movies with you, you don't ask too much of your brother. Helen said.
Fifteen minutes before the nearest one, a very ordinary white sedan was parked in a street parking space. When Natel saw the car, he immediately stepped forward and helped a man out of the car. Coria, who was standing in the line, looked and saw that the person was Theorod's grandmother, Maggie, if Maggie had come......
Coria looked at the man wearing a gray pullover hat and brown sunglasses coming out of the driver's seat, and immediately turned her head hurriedly, and involuntarily ruffled her long and somewhat messy hair. Helen saw Coria's small movements and laughed: "Okay, you're beautiful, Coria, Theo has already come over." โ
Coria immediately stopped her hand, turned around and looked at her cautiously, but when she saw that the other party was still talking to her brother, she immediately realized that she had been deceived by her own mother, and she immediately blushed and shouted dissatisfiedly: "Mom!
The owner of this movie theater happened to know Marshall, and when the other party heard that Theolod wanted to buy five tickets for "Titanic", he immediately reserved five central screens for him without saying a word, which saved the time of queuing to buy tickets.
"Sorry, there was some traffic jam on the road, so I came late. Theolod said to Corlia and Helen, who were waiting, and gave them a hug after a long absence.
Theolod didn't have the smell of the inferior cologne of the pretending mature boys around her, but instead had a faint, shower gel scent, the clean smell and the warm and powerful hug that even made Coria blush and heartbeat for a moment. Although Theolod couldn't take off the glasses on his face in order to keep a low profile, Coria could feel the other party's gentle gaze gently fall on her.
Thinking of the scene where her friend brought Theolod's limited edition photo album to her to show off, and recalled the extremely charming and sexy man in her friend's mouth, Coria's little vanity was instantly satisfied--what if she had seen "Titanic"? What if she grabbed a limited autograph photo? She still knew Theo himself, and she grew up with him! Now the other party is still watching "Titanic" with her!
Although, Coria would not have said such words so naively, she understood that doing so would only cause trouble for Theorod and her brother.
The movie "Titanic" is very long, more than three hours, but the whole film, there is nothing that makes people feel dragged on, director James Cameron handled the plot arrangement of the movie just right, whether it is a beautiful and ingenious sub-shot or a clean and seamless editing, his directing skills amazed Theorod, and the play of several actors is also very natural, and the strong sense of substitution is enough to earn the audience's tears.
This is indeed a very good work, Theolod sighed in his heart, it must be a great honor to be able to participate in this great work, but Theorod, who has almost figured out those academic personalities, also knows that it is definitely not a problem for "Titanic" to win the best picture or best director, if it is the best actor, I am afraid that there is still a little lack of heat, compared with other competitors, "Titanic" is slightly weak in this regard.
At the end of the movie, Theolod, who had just walked out of the screening hall, was recognized by the elusive paparazzi, who obviously caught too many admiring stars in the cinema, so he was not surprised, nor did he make too much noise, but only symbolically asked a few questions-
"Titanic is a very good movie, and I really appreciate director James Cameron...... Yes, of course I hope to have the privilege of being part of his film...... "Titanic" has conquered the audience, and I think soon it will conquer Hollywood...... She's, no, how could it be? She's the sister of my very best friend, like my sister, how can she be my girlfriend? We're like family. Oh, lo and behold, my good friend and assistant is here, don't make a joke, I don't want to be beaten by him. Also, they're still high school students, and Natle and I don't want to bring them too much into the circle, so if you can, can you blur their photos?...... Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation, and have a nice day. โ
The next day's newspaper appeared Theolod's evaluation of "Titanic", the other party just exaggerated his remarks a little, but the meaning is โกโก not far from ten, and now many stars in Hollywood have publicly said that "Titanic" will definitely sweep the major Oscar awards, so his comments did not attract too much attention from others. It was his gossip that made readers a little interested, and the report used "gossip girlfriend" to attract the attention of others at the beginning, but finally clarified that the other party was not Theorod's girlfriend, but this clarification was still a little vague, coupled with a few blurred photo processing, it always made people feel like they wanted to cover up.
Sure enough, the paparazzi all over the world are the same. Theorod smiled when he knew it would be like this, and the other party did blur the photos of Helen and Coria, so Theorod didn't care too much. And on the third day after watching "Titanic" with the Nattle family, Theolod attended the premiere of "Soul Catcher" as promised.
Theorod's appearance on the red carpet surprised the media, they did not know that Theorod and Ben Affleck met at Caesars Casino, so he attracted many flashing chases as soon as he appeared.
And then Theorod's comment on "Soul Catcher" finally attracted the attention of others-
When asked by a reporter about his vision for "Soul Catcher" in this year's Oscars, he replied: "I can't find any reason to organize "Soul Catcher" to win the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, really, Matt and Ben's script is so talented that I almost forget that they are still two excellent actors, and Matt may get his first Oscar nomination for Best Actor." And Robin Williams, who I've admired since "Dead Poets Society", his performance in the film is also amazing, maybe he can win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. โ
Among the many voices that are enthusiastic about "Titanic", Theolod's evaluation of "Soul Catcher" is like a dazzling heterochromat, which has to attract the attention of others. Although the nominations have not been announced, countless people believe that "Titanic" can win a series of awards such as Oscar for Best Actor, Actress, Best Screenplay, Best Picture, Best Director, etc., and is even expected to surpass the record of "Ben Hur" for the most awards!
However, Theolod wants to say that "Soul Catcher" can compete with "Titanic" for Best Actor and Best Screenplay? Could it be that he didn't win any awards this year, and began to casually hope for the Oscar to win attention?
