32. Chapter XXXII
Elisa threw down a cheerful sentence in a dashing manner, and didn't care about Joe. Schumat's face was as he saw Angela walk out, and he followed her out of this ominous place.
And Joe. Schumat's expression was very subtle.
He looked at Elisa's back as she walked in front of her, and frowned slightly.
Does she really not know herself? Or is it fake?
Elisa doesn't have that much time to speculate about Joe. What was going on in Schumat's inscrutable heart, she had no friendship with him, and even though he had done her a little favor before, she thought that she had repaid him with her watch at the theater.
When he chose himself, he may not have had other plans.
Joe. Schumatt was quickly left behind by Elisa.
The arrival of December means that she has more work.
"Hard Fruit Candy" has been reviewed, and the next thing is the issue of film scheduling and publicity.
In Hollywood, where the box office is the last word, the most important issue related to the scheduling is scheduling, and if there are several blockbusters released at the same time, you can also avoid the opportunity to compete with these films according to the report summarized that week.
Compared with Hollywood blockbusters, which usually go into commercial theaters, small-budget films such as "Hard Candy" are more likely to choose most arthouse theaters with only one or two screens, which mainly show some independent films, or replay some classic movies.
Because of the different groups of people targeted at this kind of theater, most of them will choose to open near the university town.
And this kind of theater, unlike the commercial films that are "widely distributed" by theaters, most of these art theaters have adopted the method of gradually expanding the number of hairstyles.
The improved film scheduling rate has a great relationship with the reputation obtained.
Elisa, of course, knows what the scheduling rate and timing of a film mean to the box office of a film, especially the cast of "Hard Candy", which is not strong, and the type of plot that is filmed tends to be a bit niche.
And in the past few days, the small scale of the release in New York and Los Angeles is naturally very important.
As the first protagonist of "Hard Fruit Candy", the release of these days requires Elisa and Patrick to follow David. Slade ran around.
Born as a commercial, David. Slade has also accumulated a lot of contacts in the circle, and for the sake of a good reputation, he has invited many film critics to watch the movie.
Among them, the highest status is none other than Carrie MacDonald, a young, twenty-six-year-old woman, who has always been known for her sharp and vicious words in the film critics, although her personality seems to be very difficult to get along with, but readers are very fond of her.
This Miss Kelly MacDonald's status in the film critics circle can be called a popular line among critics.
David. Slade also silently counted the film critics who attended, and in addition to some of the ones he invited, there were also a few media reporters.
Elisa also posted on her Facebook that she was coming to the premiere tonight, and to her surprise, she heard some people calling her name when she entered.
The popularity that "Dr. House" brought her, and it was only now that she really began to feel a little bit.
Stars can only stand up by the audience's love, and at the premiere of "Hard Fruit Candy", Elisa actually felt a sense of being touched that her efforts had been rewarded enough.
She waved her hand over and smiled.
Because she was attending the premiere of the movie, she was dressed more formally, and for fear of some additional factors, Louisa didn't want to wear a skirt, so she chose a very formal women's suit, which didn't look like Hayley in "Hard Candy", but like Alison in "Dr. House".
Kelly MacDonald knew it was a thriller and thought of the new actress Elisa. Serena used that beautiful face to act in a thriller movie, and a little anticipation rose in her heart.
Although her words are vicious, she is not prejudiced from the beginning, she has seen the young girl play "Dr. House" with good acting, but it is only good.
In other words, what she is more willing to pay attention to than her status as a doctor is the attraction of her young and beautiful face.
The lights in the theater soon dimmed.
The music at the beginning is very gentle, with white and red intersecting, and this intro is a bit interesting.
Many people have drawn a tick in the notebook.
Compared with some film critics' actions of carrying a notebook all the time, Kelly MacDonald's is more inclined to sketch and reminisce in her mind after watching it, she crossed her hands and watched a dialog box appear on the screen.
This scene is set up to expose some information to people's eyes.
The little girl, the photographer, is full of ambiguous conversations, and then - netizens meet.
It's not new at first, but it's passable.
Compared with the competition in the hearts of film critics, the audience's hearts are much simpler.
"Did you just see Serena?"
"I think she's better looking than she did in 'Dr. House.'"
"She cut her hair short and didn't look as mature."
"It's not big."
In the movie, the girl is concentrating on eating the chocolate cake and letting out a satisfied sigh.
"It's delicious." Everyone could hear the girl's crisp and smiling voice, with a hint of satisfaction.
"I'd like to eat a few more pieces."
"Don't be too greedy." Young man, it seems to be a photographer, Patrick is a serious drama background, and his acting skills have always been great.
A slow shot gradually recommends the girl's face, and under the impact of the big screen, one can clearly see the girl's fluttering eyelashes and beautiful blonde hair - as well as the pair of watery eyes, and the naughty chocolate on the lips.
It's really, too tender.
Very few people can immediately connect this girl with that beautiful woman, Allison. Cameron is linked.
Kelly MacDonald's eyes lit up, and it was clear that Elisa's breakthrough new look pleased her.
The man chuckled and wiped the chocolate off the girl's mouth with his hand, and then ate it in his mouth, which had a kind of nickname.
It seems that from here, from a stranger, wiping the chocolate off the lips of a little girl, it seems as if to say, look, a poor girl who is about to fall into a trap.
The theater was very quiet, and many people were surprised before they realized that the little girl was the Elisa they were going to see today. Serena.
WTF!
It's a big change!
Her appearance in it is really not very beautiful, she seems to be a little rebellious, a little naΓ―ve, a very complex character, and a little full of contradictory strange charm.
"I have three reasons to go to your house."
"One, you can't take advantage of anything, because many people see you here to meet me today." The girl on the screen stuffed something into her bag and said, "Second, that's the song of the Ice Crystal Band." β
"And the third?"
"Third?" Hayley turned her face sideways, with an incomprehensible look in her eyes.
Obviously, from this scene, something was wrong.
"Thirdly, you said I would go to your house because I was crazy, and four out of four or five doctors said that." She frowned and laughed like a coke, "I'm actually a madman. β
"So." She summed it up, "I have to go to your house in order to follow my heart, right?" β
There was a small laugh in the theater.
Is it possible for a normal person to have five doctors? Obviously, this is not possible. Kelly MacDonald thought.
Whether the girl in the movie is lying, joking, or telling the truth, you can't help but think about it.
For this film, Kelly MacDonald's curiosity has risen a little more.
How does it feel to see yourself on the screen?
It's obviously a role played by himself, but it seems to be an independent individual, and every move represents another life.
Actor is really a very interesting profession.
The previous beginning fully mobilized everyone's inquiry into the film, and many people tried to see something from Hailey's actions to confirm their guesses.
It wasn't until Hayley tied up Jeff that the veil of this movie slowly unveiled it.
The conversation between Jeff and Hayley is obviously wonderful and exciting, and Hayley tries to suppress her feelings as much as possible, but judging from her anger and sadness from time to time, her mood is far less light-hearted than it seems.
"Yes, maybe little girls can imitate adult women, but that doesn't mean they're ready to do what adult women can do!"
"What is it? What makes her so special? β
"If she ever said these things to you, okay, stopstopstopstop!!"
The gestures she made on Jeff made the men present feel a little intimidated, and the attitude in that eyes revealed not only a kind of girl's innocence, but also all the coldness of adults.
Patrick's performance is also wonderful, whether it is the personable well-dressed beast or the expression of desperate waiting to be castrated, his pain and despair are constructed into a unique tension that forms a stark contrast to the viciousness on Elisa's sweet face.
The outburst of β‘β‘ is dizzying, and the terrifying love that Hailey broke out makes people feel stunned, under the mature and cold-blooded surface of this girl, she still can't get rid of the age limit, and still retains a trace of the girl's kindness.
The ending slowly fell, and the cast appeared on the big black screen one by one.
There was a round of applause and occasional whistles in the auditorium.
