It was just dawn, and the pale blue sky was still studded with a few sparse remnant stars. Everything on Figueroa Street is shrouded in soft morning light, and the willow trees beside the road bow their heads, softly bathed in the morning light.

"Hey, Bella, don't you think it's a bit early?"

Rubbing his sparse sleepy eyes, Xiansen yawned weakly, today he is going to see a lawyer to discuss the lawsuit with Kate and the New York Times, the lawyer was introduced by Bella, I heard that this guy refers to the deer as a horse, and the ability to reverse black and white is still very set.

"Very early? Mister, you know, there isn't a lot of time that Nielsen lawyers can spare time, and it's not easy to meet at this point in time.

In the end, this yawn ruined all the aura that Bella Marceau had spoken before, and she coughed slightly embarrassedly twice, and Bella Marceau continued to walk forward without saying anything.

"Is this Nielsen famous? Many people come to him for lawsuits? ”

Xiansen asked with some curiosity, because he didn't pay much attention to the news, so he really hadn't heard of the Nelson Johnson introduced by Bella.

"Well, what do you say about fame?"

After thinking for a while, Bella Marceau smiled and continued: "Anyway, it is more than enough to fight this inevitable lawsuit, at least he will not make you a defendant." ”

Hearing such an unreliable answer, Xiansen felt as if he was about to be sold by this woman again.

Figueroa Avenue gradually became lively, about ten minutes of walking, Xiansen and Bella also came to the destination, this is a very small house, the shape of the security door has been a little distorted, it can be seen that the lawyer's living conditions do not seem to be very good.

"Bell"

Pressing the doorbell, while waiting for the door to open, Bella Marceau whispered to Xiansen: "Actually, Nelson is a good lawyer, but he doesn't spend most of his time helping people fight lawsuits, he prefers it."

Before he could finish speaking, the door was pushed open. Out of it came a man in his forties, with curly brown hair, a beard, a gray trench coat, and a pipe in his hand, who looked a little wise.

"Hello, Uncle Holmes!"

As soon as she saw this man, Bella Marceau greeted her warmly.

"Hey, it turned out to be our elf Bella, and now it's getting prettier."

Listening to the conversation between the two people in front of him, Xiansen couldn't help but shudder, everything was as expected, he was sold by this woman again, Uncle Holmes, and elf, is this going to play cosplay? Thinking of this, Xiansen secretly raised a straight middle finger towards Bella Marceau in his heart.

"Let's come in and talk about it."

The curly-haired uncle stepped out of the way, looked at Xiansen and said, "This seems to be the little guy director who made a sensation in the United States, welcome to the Nelson Hut, please come in." ”

Xiansen reluctantly squeezed out a little smile, Nelson Hut, I'm still Disneyland! Sighing, Xiansen knew that he had probably encountered a strange thing again this time, and now he had mastered a law, and anyone who had contact with Bella Marceau in the future was flammable and explosive, and he needed to avoid it

As soon as the front foot stepped into the room, he heard a "bang", and the curly-haired uncle slammed the door shut.

"Okay, for the sake of the elf Bella's face, I'm starting work today, which of the two of you will tell me the details first?"

Originally, Xiansen thought that Bella was going to chat with Nelson or something, but as soon as he entered the room, the uncle picked up his notebook, sat on the sofa, and asked about the lawsuit, looking very dedicated.

"Him!"

"She!"

pointed at the other party in unison, Xiansen didn't want to talk about these things with an uncle, besides, he didn't know where to start. Seeing Xiansen turn his gaze to the side, Bella Marceau shook her head helplessly, sure enough, she couldn't count on this guy for anything.

The matter of the lawsuit was left to Bella Marceau, and at this time, Xiansen wandered around the room boredly, which was a small room that integrated a study, a living room, and a bedroom. The décor in the room is very simple, except for a somewhat retro closet, everything else looks like it was picked up from the thrift market.

Still, there was something in the room that caught Xiansen's attention. On a bookshelf by the fireplace, there was a stack of manuscript paper, all threaded together with twine, which looked like a book. The paper was thick and boring, so he motioned to Nelson Johnson and read it on his own, with permission.

This is not a novel, after reading a few pages, Xiansen found that this is a history of urban development, although Xiansen is not very interested in this kind of historical theme, but he is idle, holding this stack of manuscript paper, Xiansen found a place to sit and read.

Time passed little by little, Bella Marceau and Nelson Johnson had almost agreed on the specific matters, and when they looked back, they saw that Xiansen was half-sitting on the ground, looking intently at the manuscript paper in his hand, and half beside him was a garbage can, and Bella Marceau could see that there seemed to be some eggshells inside.

"Hey Mister, it's time for us to go back."

Bella walked up to Xiansen, snatched the manuscript paper, put it on the bookshelf on the side, and said, "The matter has been discussed, we can go back now, hurry up." ”

For this guy who came to make soy sauce, Bella urged angrily.

"Ahh

At this time, Xiansen suddenly woke up, looked up at the clock on the wall, it was already noon, and looked at the manuscript paper that Bella put on the shelf, Xiansen asked a little tactfully: "Bella, will we come here again tomorrow?" ”

"What are you doing here? I've already talked to Uncle Nelson about you, so I won't have to come over tomorrow, what, listening to your tone, you seem to like it here. ”

Xiansen sighed with some regret, where did he like it here, what he liked was the stack of manuscript paper, after reading it for so long, he was suddenly interrupted, this feeling made Xiansen feel very unhappy.

"Well, let's go."

Reluctantly glancing at the manuscript paper again, Xiansen walked out the door with his head drooped, and when he passed by Nelson Johnson, he asked in a low voice, "Mr. Nelson, can I ask you something?" What's the name of that history book on your shelf? Has it been published? Where can I buy it? ”

Nelson didn't give an answer to this question, but turned around and walked towards the bookshelf.

"Uncle Nelson spent more than a decade writing that book, and I say that the reason he usually doesn't have time is because he spends all his time writing books, and I don't know what he thinks."

Bella Maso answered this question for Nelson, hearing this answer, Xiansen was completely desperate, the most annoying thing about reading a book is to only read half of it, it seems that he has to find a way to remove the first half of the content from his brain, otherwise it will be too torturous.

"If you like this book"

Nelson walked towards Xiansen with the stack of manuscripts, handed it to Xiansen, and said, "Then take it back, I'll give it to you." ”

"Give it to me"

Xiansen held this stack of manuscripts in disbelief, and gave himself more than ten years of hard work.

"What's so surprising, this is just a copy, I still have the original manuscript here, besides, some people think it's good-looking, and I haven't wasted it in the past ten years, you know, there are not many young people who like this kind of thick history. Young people like Harry Potter, haha"

At the end, Nelson's expression was a little lonely and he laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Nelson, at least, I'm a fan of your books now."

Xiansen held the manuscript paper tightly in his arms and comforted him sincerely.

In an era of explosion of imagination, it is rare that there are still people who are willing to study history in a down-to-earth manner, not to mention, culture is diverse, it is inclusive, any kind of will become a treasure of the times, and authors like Nelson Johnson are at least worthy of respect.

After coming out of the Nelson Hut, walking on the road, the sun shines through the light clouds, shining on the white earth, reflecting a silver light, dazzling people's eyes a little.

"Bella, have you read Nelson's book before?"

"No, but I've torn a few."

For this kind of answer, Xiansen has no power to say anything more

Many times Xiansen feels that he is a little bit like a star in the entertainment industry, like a paparazzi or something, he has never followed him, of course, it is also possible that he did not find out. In fact, unlike many big stars, Xiansen dresses very low-key every time he goes shopping, and as a director, his appearance rate is not high, so even if he walks on the road, if he lowers his head, no one can really recognize him.

However, there are surprises in everything.

After the unprecedented success of "Shutter Island", Xiansen's popularity soared rapidly, from traditional print media to emerging websites, as long as Hollywood and film and television entertainment are involved, it is essential to mention "Shutter Island" and Mister, in addition to film reviews and box office reports, all kinds of gossip news are also emerging, the number of paparazzi and attention to Xiansen are also soaring, no, this time I went to Nelson Cottage with Bella Marceau early in the morning and was photographed by a paparazzi reporter.

"Early morning tryst in a small black room, the intimate love of the director and assistant director"

An ambiguous news plus a few pictures, once again aroused everyone's gossip heart, at this time the North American box office of the movie has already exceeded 200 million, is rushing towards the 300 million mark, for the box office share of this movie, the media does not know what means to dig it out, in a magazine called "Behind the Entertainment" mentioned that Mister owns 50% of the copyright of the movie, simply put, in addition to the 31% of the box office of the movie, Xiansen also has 50% of the profits of peripheral DVD products, According to current trends, the world's youngest billionaire is about to be born.

Young, talented, golden, low-key, and temperamental, even the photos of Xiansen when he was learning free fighting in school were dug up, looking at the tough muscles, and then putting all this together, it is simply a standard Prince Charming! This has also led to a lot of blonde girls having a strong interest in this oriental surname.

In the latest issue of the most popular one-night stand with female surnames in the United States, Xiansen also rose from the nameless gang to the second place in one breath, and there is only Leonardo above him, no way, who calls the head of the family is too handsome, and he is amorous.

More than a month after the film's release, Xiansen published an article of his own in The Washington Post.

"Hi guys, unbiased film critic Mister Sen is back, and of course, I still have to remind the Washington Post to put $800 into my love account, I hope they remember."

After humorously teasing the Washington Post at the beginning, Xiansen continued: "When you read this article, I want to announce the news first, just a day ago, yes, rewind the time of the newspaper by a day, the box office of the movie "Shutter Island" has exceeded 300 million, oh, here is just the North American box office. As a serious film critic, let me first count the records broken by this box office, such as the fastest to break through 100 million, the fastest to break through 200 million, the fastest to break through 300 million, damn, how can there be so many, forget it, leave these statistics to those mathematicians, you must know that some newspapers have said that my IQ is very low. ”

It can be said that anyone who is interested in Hollywood in the United States knows that the New York Times is Mistersen's worst enemy, and some retailers will even put up a billboard at newsstands: If you want to see Mistersen's negative news, buy the New York Times.

"When it comes to IQ, I suddenly remember something and I want you to help me remember it. No way, my memory is not very good, alas, the IQ is too low. I remember a newspaper reporter who seemed to make a bet with the beautiful Washington Times reporter Edith Chen, and I thought about it: if "Shutter Island" could outperform "50 First Loves" at the box office, that reporter would eat up the issues he had written in public. Oops, I suddenly remembered that the reporter seemed to be named Kate, ahem, even though my memory is not very good, but I still prefer to do this kind of thing to get a gambling contract for a beautiful reporter.

By the way, you must remember to inform me when the time comes, I will arrange a live broadcast, no way, as a person, you have to meet these special needs of some special people, because I am a good person.

Okay, without further ado, let's talk about the movie, many people have put forward some of their own opinions on the story of "Shutter Island", I have seen the truths circulating on the Internet one by one, to be honest, I really admire these friends, they watch the movie in detail even more seriously than us filmmakers, and it is their attitude that makes me feel even more that I will make movies better in the future than now, as a director, here, I want to say thank you to these friends, and at the same time, in "Shutter Island" After the DV is installed, our crew will try our best to contact these friends and give a little of our heart, thank you. At the same time, thank you to more friends who went to the cinema to watch this movie, and I hope "Shutter Island" did not disappoint you.

Many people must want to ask me what the truth of the story is, and I will announce this question after a reporter from a certain media has completed the bet, otherwise the other party will definitely say that I have a low IQ, alas

Finally, I will make some objective and fair comments, this is a high-IQ suspense thriller directed by Mister and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, the movie has twists and turns, vivid story, romantic, cruel, surnames, fantasy, and truth, it is a rare classic movie in Hollywood, and you will regret it for a lifetime if you don't go to the theater.

I forgot to add that in a few days, a certain newspaper and such a reporter will receive a subpoena from the California Supreme Court on charges of defamation, false accusation and defamation, and I hope that I will not be late then. ”

As soon as Xiansen's article was published, the topic of public opinion suddenly found a tipping point, and then many people remembered that Kate did say that she had made a bet to eat newspapers and eat newspapers in public, which was a very interesting thing.

On the Internet, many people said that if Kate didn't have a newspaper, he could provide it for free, and he still had a few issues of the newspaper.

In fact, the most important thing is that Xiansen said in the article that he will only tell the truth after Kate has eaten the newspaper, and for the majority of fans of "Shutter Island", it is much more important than eating the newspaper, so a fan organization called "Kate Eats Newspaper Solidarity Group" appeared, and these spontaneously organized fans appealed under the "New York Times" building as soon as they had time, hoping that Kate would come out to eat the newspaper, the police looked helpless.

In addition to the newspaper-eating incident, the media is also interested in titles such as "Oscar for Best Picture", "Oscar for Best Director", "Oscar for Best Actor", and a reporter from the Chicago Sun-Times said: "It would be a shame for the Oscars not to let Shutter Island be shortlisted for the Oscars because of the type of film, the identity of the director and actor, or traditional concepts." ”

After the release of "Shutter Island", Richard's "Illusion of Death" also met with the audience on the 24th, but to Richard Kelly's disappointment, this movie with a higher IQ than "Shutter Island" suffered an unprecedented Waterloo, and only received $300,000 in the first week, and the audience came out and said that they didn't know what the director wanted to express at all, which directly led to the second week, "Death Illusion" was withdrawn from the schedule by many theaters, and you are not as high as the box office of "Shutter Island" for a week, Who else wants to play with you.

In addition to the strangled "Illusion of Death", there are also "The Last Castle" starring Robert Redford, which was released on the 19th and only grossed 11 million at the end of the day, and "From Hell", a widely anticipated film like 20th Century Fox, only got 27 million at the box office.

If there is one film that has not been affected, it is probably Martin Scorsese's "My Trip to Italy", of course, the four-hour film is only a personal education film, and at the same time, it is only released in one theater in the United States.
