Javier vigorously stirred his hands, not caring about the stinging palms, not caring about the strange gaze at all, not caring about his uniqueness at all, just hitting the palms with all his might, and in this way all the thoughts in his mind were heartily vented. + Fiction

He was personally involved in the filming of "City of God" and marveled at Lance's amazing talent; Now he has witnessed the wonderfulness of "killing people with a knife", and is completely impressed by Lance's boldness, radicality, delicacy, profundity and sharpness. As never before, Havel felt the excitement in his heart: Could it be that he is witnessing the rise of a piece of history?

Cliff Robinson heard the crisp applause, which echoed through the empty Los Angeles theater, thin and pretentious, and looked up, and then saw Javier's stubborn and straight backbone, like a green pine, standing in the hazy halo of the screening room. If it had been another moment, Cliff would have scoffed at it, but today, he didn't. The lonely applause dragged him out of the time when the film was built, and he suddenly came to his senses.

Cliff shuddered for no apparent reason, and he realized that he needed a little time, a little more time, to reminisce about the movie just now, and he had to first get out of the extreme tension of the movie, so that his brain could calm down, and then ......

At this moment, the sparse applause interrupted Cliff's slightly scattered thoughts, and when he raised his gaze, he saw more than a dozen people standing up in the spacious screening room, each struggling to drum up their hands and join the ranks of Javier, looking at the big screen with excited eyes, conveying their inner feelings with the most direct movements.

Immediately afterward, more and more people stood up, and it seemed that the audience could be seen standing everywhere they could see, and from the first floor to the second floor, the applause gradually gathered together, forming a powerful momentum, filling the spacious and old screening hall of the Los Angeles Theater.

Due to the long history of this screening room, the sound gathering and echoing effects on the inner walls are old-fashioned, making the sound in the room appear empty and distant, but it is difficult to release the explosive power of the sound. But at this moment, the loud applause gradually condensed into a rope, powerfully whipping the wall of the screening hall, shaking the whole building with an absolutely powerful attitude, and in a trance, there was an illusion that the earth was shaking.

Cliff could feel the slight vibration of his hands, and couldn't help but look down, only to realize that not only the hands on the armrests, but also the chair under his ass had a feeling of shaking, and he stood up suddenly, raised his head to look at the ceiling, and strongly doubted whether the building would be in ruins in the next second - when he realized that he was thinking too much, Cliff's eardrums felt the ferocious impact, and the applause that swarmed from all directions turned into drumsticks, hitting the thin eardrums fiercely, It stirs up a continuous afterglow in my mind.

A helpless smile appeared on the corner of Cliff's mouth, and he shook his head slightly, even if he didn't want to admit it, but the facts were in front of him, and the audience's reaction to "Killing with a Knife" far exceeded expectations. So...... What about film critics? And what about the "Twelve Arhats"? Once again, things seem to be off track and whizzing in an unknown direction.

The Los Angeles Theater felt the tsunami of applause, and the entire building was drowned in the surging sound, shivering. Turning his head, he could see unfamiliar faces in the hazy light, but full of similar feelings—there was confusion hidden in the excitement.

Everyone is so excited, they can all feel the adrenaline rush / sensation / , but the movie is pushed to a high / climax again, and then abruptly - it seems that the whole movie is like this, always at the critical moment of the explosion of love xù fiercely, the kind of love xù stirring in the chest can not be vented at all; Everyone can feel that this movie is obviously not as simple as it seems, it is a commercial film, but it is more than a commercial film, but it can't say why, as if the light of a lighthouse can be vaguely seen in a fog, but it is separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and it has never been able to get close, and the kind of urgent pursuit of the root cause of the love is constantly hitting and echoing in my mind.

In the end, they can only choose to use applause to vent, and they can vent their inner intricacies directly and freely.

The applause became more and more enthusiastic and surging, and when the crew of "Killing with a Knife" walked to the front of the stage, the sound reached its peak, and the entire audience gave a collective standing ovation, even mixed with cheers, whistles and shouts, and the thunderous applause made people mistakenly think that they were at the Toronto Film Festival, not the premiere of a Hollywood commercial film.

Tom Cruise looked at the boiling sea of people in front of him, extending back endlessly along the line of sight, hitting the rocks like a stormy wave, the empty sound echoed far away under the sky, sweeping over the mountains, inexplicably, Tom's eyes were a little warm, such a scene, he had only met once in his career as an actor, when "Rain Man" was screened in New York. That's 9 years ago.

Raising his hands and agitating, Tom turned his head to look at Lance, who was standing next to him, to hide his emotions a little wolfishly. At this time, Lance's face did not show any change in emotion, but he clapped his hands politely, and the proper smile on the corner of his mouth carried a hint of confidence and calmness, as if he had expected a qiē in front of him, Tom turned his head and raised his voice in Lance's left ear, "We did it." ”

Lance didn't turn his head, the smile on his lips lifted slightly, and he replied in a loud voice, "It's a good start." ”

Tom's breezy answer made Tom pause, and he seemed a little carried away - this was just the premiere, this was just the beginning, this was just the audience's imagination, and after twenty years in Hollywood, he should know better than anyone else. His gaze lingered on Lance's calm face for a moment, then Tom exhaled softly, turned his head to look at the audience again, regained his composure, and applauded calmly.

Lance's muscles were so tense that he had to slow down the clapping of his hands, otherwise the mechanical movements would reveal the truth of his heart.

At this moment, no one could feel the excitement and shock in Lance's heart. The success of "City of God" comes from Lance's focus and dedication, and more from the deep heritage of the original novel; The success of "The Day After Tomorrow" comes from the experience and rigor of Reims, and more from the close integration of visual effects; Only "borrowing a knife to kill" is the most direct, real and cruel test of Lance's talent and talent.

"Murder with a Knife" is the first work to be filmed in the true sense of the word, and he has made a lot of changes to the Michael Mann version of the original work, not only using new cinematography techniques and shooting methods, but also incorporating a deep personal understanding of the script, not to mention playing the role of Max himself. It can be said that Lance's version of "Killing with a Knife" is far from the work of the previous life.

The confidence before the release of the movie is full of confidence and calmness, and that is just the appearance.

Deep down, Lance is more nervous than anyone else, worried about whether his changes will weaken the tense atmosphere of "killing people with a knife", but the commercial results of directing zhì films are far lower than expected; He worries about whether his performance will be the weakest link in the film, proving that he was never fit to be an actor; He worries about whether his interpretation is too shallow or too deep to derail the film......

The third life is a human being, from Li Jin to Lancelot, and then to Lance after rebirth, along the way, he has always faltered, carrying the burden of dreams, and moving forward step by step in an unknown direction on the thorny road, and he doesn't even know if this direction is correct.

Even the three little golden figures of the "City of God", even the 200 million box office of the "day after tomorrow", cannot clear the thick fog in front of them.

"It seems that Gawain won the bet." There was a staccato sound in his ear, not clear in the loud applause, and Lance turned his head, and then saw Ian's big smile. Lance didn't react for a while, looked over suspiciously, Ian's turquoise eyes looked at Lance deeply, and the smile on the corner of his mouth flashed from the depths of his eyes, and then he withdrew his gaze and turned his head to look at the audience casually, but Lance was stunned in place.

The bet, he remembered, yesterday at lunch, Gawain and Ian joked about the bet, Ian thought that the premiere of "Killing with a Knife" might be suppressed by "Ocean's Twelve", and finally relied on word-of-mouth to complete the reversal; And Gawain believes that "borrowing a knife to kill" can comprehensively crush the "Twelve Arhats" and leave no chance for the opponent.

The bet is a packet of Skittles.

However, he was a little absent-minded at the time, and when he heard the bet, he didn't take it to heart and didn't remember it for a while. Now, Ian brought it up again......

Lance suddenly realized that Ian was attending the premiere today, not because of the company's expansion, but because they saw his absent-mindedness and lack of confidence - all of which were speculations by Lance himself, and Ian did not acknowledge it positively. Ian would show up, perhaps the idea of the three of them after discussing it.

A trace of warmth slowly flowed through the bottom of his heart, and the flames hidden in the unknown depths were quietly rejuvenating, Lance looked at Ian, who was applauding seriously in front of him, the smile on the corner of his mouth was slightly tightened, and the tense muscles finally relaxed, and then he also looked at the audience in front of him, clapping his hands hard, but his spine was unconsciously straightened again, regaining his usual calm and ease.

The thunderous applause never stopped, swarming from all directions, completely flooding the entire building, and the roar that resounded through the screening hall even attracted the attention of the people who were standing outside the street, and everyone watched the roar inside the Los Angeles theater in amazement, without any words, this is the best signal: "Kill with a knife", success!
