Frank, who received a suggestive reply from Theorod, walked into the theater and looked at the people around him who were worried or waiting to see the show, and suddenly felt a sense of superiority in his heart that came out of nowhere—he was the lucky one to get Theorod himself to suggest! He knew that the movie must be very good!

“…… I think we'd better be prepared for both. ”

As he passed by three or two critics, Frank overheard the whispers of the critics. What they mean is to prepare two movie review templates, one good and one bad, in advance, if the movie is messed up, you can wantonly ridicule "American Narcos", I don't know how to do it, I don't know how to do it, I don't know how to make quick success, and if the movie is decent, I will blow a wave and squeeze the Oscar heat or something.

Millie listened and wanted to reason with them for a word or two, but was pulled back into place by Frank without saying anything. The theory with the group of film critics who see the wind and rudder is a waste of words, and the movie will start in ten minutes, and when "American Drug Lord" is unveiled, those who keep singing about it will not become the group of people who are "offended".

"Frank, look! Shaun Thorpe's scum is here, too!" Millie pointed to a certain Theorod Black leader in the first few rows, and her tone was a little gloating, "Recently, he has learned to be obedient and not go around yelling big things, but I remember that he still said that he was not optimistic about "American Drug Lord", I want to see how he will toss this time." ”

That's right, probably scared of being slapped in the face by Theorod, Sean Thorpe hasn't said something quite absolute recently, but when "American Drug Lord" was finalized, he jumped out and sarcastically criticized a few words that were not professional enough to achieve quick success, and said that if Theorod wanted to win the Oscar with such a rushed movie, it would probably be a fool's dream.

As for "The Phantom of the Opera"? As long as a veteran film critic knows that "The Phantom of the Opera" does not have the competition for best actor, this is not a problem of the actor Theorod's play, but a problem of the theme of the film itself. Although Theolod did play an excellent role as an actor, he can definitely be selected in those editions where the competition pressure is not great. But compared with the competitors of this year, between the academic school of song and dance films and feature films, they will definitely choose the actor of the drama film.

So in the eyes of Sean Thorpe, although it is rumored that Theolod has two films that can get him nominated, the rumors sound like a nose and an eye, but the reality is very different. It's just that he didn't say too much, but used vague words such as "maybe", "probably", and "unlikely" to show that Theorod's Oscar path is unclear - even if he wants to yell in his heart that Theorod is not playing!

Probably because Theolod broke common sense and backed down, Sean Thorpe rarely greeted God from the bottom of his heart. Not only him, but also the other Theohes. It's too difficult to wait for Theolod to waterloo himself, this kid always doesn't show his feet and makes people hate itchy, and he can only pray that God will open his eyes.

Anyway, after ten minutes, the lights in the broadcast hall gradually dimmed, and in the darkness, the blue logo of the new line on the big screen was unusually noticeable. Seeing that the movie started, everyone calmed down and stared at the screen seriously, even Ted himself was a little nervous and his palms were sweaty - this was a work he had high hopes for to prove his strength.

"Ted, you should have seen the final product, after all, the new line can't wait for me to see it. Seeing that his director was nervous, Theolod couldn't help but laugh.

Ted nodded: "I've seen it, it feels pretty good, but I don't know if anyone else can be satisfied." To be honest, Theo, although I didn't care about the Oscars at all, and I didn't shoot this movie for fame, but when "American Narcos" was really said to be an Olympic film by that group of media people, I still couldn't help but get nervous, probably I couldn't get rid of vanity, after all, the person I wanted to surpass won the Oscar for Best Director. ”

Listening to Ted's exclamation, Theolod also felt a little emotional for some reason, maybe it was because he thought of his previous life, maybe it was just for Ted's words, he finally turned his head to look at the screen: "Ted, I have a little confidence in myself, I believe you filmed it well, I believe that you acted very well." After 123 minutes, you'll know that you've proven yourself and that you're the one-of-a-kind Ted Demmy. ”

"Accept your good words. Theorod's total trust and confidence made Ted laugh.

Whether Ted can prove himself or not, critics and premiere audiences can't see anything at the moment, at least the beginning of the film looks quite cheerful. Theolod as a narrator uses his magnetic and charming voice to slowly explain George Jung's childhood background, and also explain the reason why he went to prison step by step.

Short and powerful, knowing that the protagonist ends in tragedy, he still shoots the beginning in bright film colors, even when talking about childhood family discord, Theolod's background sound is still light. Although this method is not common, it will not make the eyes of film critics who have read all the storms shine.

However, the beginning of the film usually sets the tone of the whole film, and it seems that Ted Demmy intends to continue like this forever, and his film style is mostly like this, revealing a faint warm taste, which is not quite the same as his uncle's style, but sometimes this technique that is only suitable for literary films is easy to make the film boring and boring.

Ted Demmy's previous works have had this criticism, his control of the rhythm is not as mature as his uncle, and I don't know if he has grown this time.

The film is not bad so far, after all, it is only less than twenty minutes long, George Jung came to California, met his first girlfriend, and entered the drug trafficking industry for the first time, with more and more savings in his hands, and gradually became a rich man. This part isn't the point, so Ted didn't spend much time filming this episode. George's drug trafficking methods look thrilling and interesting when cut quickly, and Ted finally gives a bit of a straightforward approach, and it looks like an improvement.

It's just that when the critics thought that this was almost the end, the first turning point in the film came - George was arrested, his girlfriend Barbara died of cancer, George did a mistake for Barbara's sake, but it was the right thing for him, and he decided to run away with Barbara.

When the camera was fixed on the two people hugging each other, the film critics who were in a wait-and-see state suddenly felt a sudden. George smiled? Why? Still smiling happily? Wasn't he sad for his girlfriend? But why, even if he smiled, there was still a sad and oppressive bitterness in his smile? Because he could be with Barbara for the rest of his life?

No, it's definitely not that simple.

They wanted to know why, but Theorod didn't want them to do their thing. In the run-down little inn, Barbara closed her eyes forever. George couldn't wake her up after several screams, and he tried to keep that lilting smile on his face, but he couldn't, tears were already wet in his eyes.

His hands clasped hers against his forehead, like a confessed believer before the cross, weeping lowly, and the image was infectious enough to make the eyes of most people in the screening room red.

But just as their tears were about to fall, everything in the picture turned into a cemetery, and George's narration sounded again, only this time, there was something more in the lazy and charming brisk voice, maybe desolation, maybe sadness, maybe regret.

The tears in the eyes were forced back, but the big stone in my heart pressed another layer. The movie does not give the audience a chance to cry at all, even if George is betrayed by his mother, and his dead and self-deprecating eyes when he sits in a police car and looks at his hysterical mother, what brings everyone is not grief and tears, but wordless bitterness and sorrow.

This sorrow was pressed in the bottom of my heart, I couldn't spit it out and couldn't swallow it, as if I was preparing to brew a storm, and with the originally bright and cheerful resurgence fragment, it became thicker and thicker, and the pressure was almost breathless.

What the hell is going on? Some people are shocked by this feeling of depression that has been brewing at some point. They seem to see the demon hidden behind this light-hearted film, which quietly occupies people's hearts with amazing power, hidden, wandering, waiting to give the final blow.

There are also some film critics who are horrified to find that Theorod's tone changes as a narrator after each stage, each turn. If you hadn't noticed that subtle change, I'm afraid no one would have noticed it, but in retrospect, the narration at this moment and the narration at the beginning of the film have changed dramatically.

Could it be that this is the reason for Theorod's extremely talented voice?

No, maybe it's more than that, look at his performance, the kind of performance that is natural to the bones, but deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, every look, every movement, every demeanor, can firmly grasp the hearts of the audience who are almost taken away by the immature and dull rhythm. He knows every turning point, this macro control of the overall situation of the movie is like a miracle, how many actors can still control the rhythm of the whole movie with their acting skills?

After being betrayed by his money-hungry wife for the second time, he lost his own daughter. In order to save Christina, he started drug trafficking again, and this time, he was betrayed by his accomplices, losing his freedom and the right to see his daughter.

The devil entrenched in the hearts of the audience finally broke out in Theolod's four-minute one-man show. Theolod's original one-man show lasted more than five minutes, and every sentence was the essence, and Ted thought about it for a long time, and the cut was only shortened to four minutes.

In the montage-style editing, George's monologue to his father completely releases the accumulated depression and sadness, perhaps thinking of his father, perhaps thinking of his own childhood, accompanied by Theorod's voice of pain or self-deprecation, they can finally cry bitterly.

No one can resist the contagious power of Theolod's acting in these four minutes, even if only his voice is heard in some of the scenes.

Even if there are countless talented performances in the past, just these four-minute one-man show is enough to push him to the altar and canonize!

However, those film critics who couldn't help wiping their tears didn't expect that this heartbroken Theorod hadn't played enough! The movie gave them four minutes to vent all the bitterness they had accumulated before, and they thought it would be relieved after that, but they took it for granted, Theorod didn't let them go, and Ted didn't let them go—

More than ten years later, I finally saw Christina again, but I found that everything was just my own imagination, and at that moment, the loss, despair and helpless grief on George's face was almost all the depression and pain that had been vented in the previous four minutes.

Only this time, they never had a chance to vent again.

It's no wonder that some critics have said, "This is a real movie that has a cheerful exterior but makes you so sad and depressed that you can't cry." 166 Reading Network
