Sitting in their chairs, Duke and the others were staring at the television in the lounge, an entertainment program on NBC's Los Angeles local station, showing a video from an interview just this morning.

In the picture of the TV, that handsome and dashing face has a trademark smile on it, but the words that come out are far from being as beautiful as his face.

"Let me mention a few logical and plot errors."

Looking at Tom Cruise on TV, Duke knew that the other party was going to make a big splash, and the memories of the past told him that there was no good soup from PR and agents, and sometimes his actions and words could simply surprise everyone's eyes.

"Stealing missiles at the beginning, the marines' rope guns actually sparkle in the dark night? And the iron arrow nailed to the wall, according to the swing amplitude of the tail of the arrow, simply could not bear the weight of a person, how did they slip through the rope? ”

"Slipping through the rope and kicking the broken glass to knock down the guards on the tower, isn't it loud and no one notices? And where does the iron arrow have to be driven to ensure that it penetrates the glass at this time? Why can't the guards find out when shooting? ”

"A tall soldier hid behind a pillar with a gun in both hands and turned to knock down two men. According to the picture, his two arms were all exposed, and the other party didn't even notice it? ”

"The Marines and Mason's fighting moves are complete rookies, and General Hammer's command keeps making mistakes, what is like the best commander in the Vietnam War? They don't match who they really are! ”

"Mason and Goosby are imprisoned, and there are no guards? Director Mason made a loud noise and escaped from prison lightly? This is the most amateur mistake, right? ”

"Mason and Goosby went into the sewers and fought on the ground, and finally Goosby was blown into the sea and rescued ashore, how did their clothes dry quickly?"

Obviously, although Tom Cruise has only watched "Death Island" once, he is a caring person!

"How was Goosby spotting fireworks at the last minute accurately detected by a telescope? Where is the telescope located? According to the picture, the bomb-dropping fighter plane was not far away, and the pilot did not even notice it visually? ”

"Goosbee was bombed, how did he skillfully draw an arc from his place into the sea and fall into the reef-free sea without injury?"

"Where and when did Mason find clean paper and pencil to write a note?"

"And the much-touted bomb perspective, the F-18 fighter jet immediately drops the bomb at a 90-degree elevation angle, what kind of tactical maneuver and mechanical performance is this? I know about warplanes, and at the moment there are no fighters and pilots in the whole world who can do it! ”

In just a few minutes, Tom Cruise picked ten mistakes for Death Island!

Sitting there, Duke was very calm, and there was nothing special to say, Tom Cruise is not stupid, all he said was the objective existence of problems in the film, although this is the norm of action movies, if you pick a thorn, any sci-fi action movie including "Terminator 2" can find a lot of details and logical errors, not too many people will care, but no one can underestimate Tom Cruise's appeal, his words will inevitably have a certain impact on the film.

Competitors smear each other, in Hollywood is the most normal situation, let alone Duke, together with Nicolas Cage and Ed Harris and others sitting in this lounge do not have abnormal looks, if competitors get along with each other in harmony, do not use some means, it is strange.

In fact, since this morning, there has been a lot of positive and negative comments in the media about "Death Island" and "Interview with the Vampire", with Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox both acting behind the scenes, and Tom Cruise is just a microcosm.

In this place of fame and fortune, the competition of public opinion is the battlefield, and the two warring sides will not just shout a few innocuous words of disapproval or the film is very bad, as long as they seize the opportunity and the mistakes made by the other party, they will chase and fight until their own side is completely victorious.

Of course, Duke has never been the kind of person who will only suffer silently, and today before coming to NBC's studio, he communicated with Nancy and Warner Bros. and NBC.

Besides, fame is extremely important to an idol star like Tom Cruise, but for directors who hide behind the scenes for most of their bodies, it's better than nothing, past, present and future, directors never speak with fame, and there are countless directors who don't choose to speak, such as Bang Bei in the future, arguing with the media and film critics all day long, swearing is endless, and the work is still a big hit.

And those scandal-ridden directors......

Maybe Nicolas Cage and other actors must pay attention, but Duke won't care, since Tom Cruise jumped out, he will definitely fight back, smear or something, let's do it together.

Duke then talked to Nancy a few more words before entering the dressing room.

As long as you stand in front of the camera, there is no real no-makeup, even the person with the best skin, if you don't put on makeup, in the close-up of the camera, it will become miserable, Duke let the makeup artist smear on his face, just talk to Christopher Lee next to him, and wait for the host Leno to come in, and then briefly deal with her script.

The show is called "The Leno Tonight Show," and it's one of NBC's ace talk shows, and as usual, the show's focus isn't on the director, and the three main actors are the real protagonists.

So, after the show started, Duke sat on the side and rarely spoke.

"Director Rosenberg, it is said that you like the role of General Hammer the most?"

After a series of questions, the main person Leno finally mentioned Duke, who had almost no sense of zài, "What do you think of Ed and his role as General Hammer?" ”

"I can't talk about my favorite, these characters in the film are like my children, no matter whether the film is later evaluated for good or bad, each character I choose has its own reasons, and there is no situation where I like which one I don't like."

The hostess still looked at him, "Can you tell us more about General Hammer and Ed's performances?" According to media statistics, this is one of the most touching characters in the film, and I believe the audience at the scene will also want to hear your opinion as a director! ”

There was a round of applause from the audience below the stage.

"If everyone has seen the movie, they should be able to realize that General Hammer is not an evil villain, he can even be regarded as a hero."

It wasn't a preconceived issue, but it wasn't too difficult for Duke, so he organized his language a little and said, "He didn't take hostages for personal gain, but to protect the honor of his comrades-in-arms - it's a pity that he almost became a terrorist who slaughtered civilians at a moment's notice." ”

Then, Duke's gaze turned to Ed Harris, "Ed is very military, and he can clearly portray the change of mentality of the characters in action movies like "Brave Island". He's the one we've been looking for for General Hammer, and I've never considered anyone else to replace him. ”

In this case, Duke did not shy away from his praise, "In my opinion, Ed is the most underrated actor in Hollywood, he can play any role, he captures the dissatisfaction of the military leadership with the government, he plays the essence of General Hammer, and in my imagination, General Hammer is like this." ”

There was warm applause from the audience, in fact, anyone who has watched the movie understands that Ed Harris deserves such an evaluation.

"What do you think of your performance and your role?" The host asked the actor himself at the right time.

"Playing General Hammer was more difficult and complex than many of the roles I've played before, and I felt like I was doing a good job."

Ed Harris smiled and humbly said, "I got a lot of help from Lt. Colonel Lenho, a former Navy SEAL and military advisor for the film. Together, we went through the dialogue many times to make it more in line with the speech of the soldier and give it more ...... Make it read more naturally. But some of the dialogues are very tongue-twisting, like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Revolution or whatever, and it's really hard to read....... ”

The audience erupted in friendly laughter and applause.

The previous time was mostly for the three actors, and the host obviously left the last period of time to Duke, and continued to ask him, "I heard that Lee is the actor you personally named to play John Mason, do you think his performance meets your requirements?" ”

"Of course!" Duke deliberately gave Christopher Lee a thumbs up, "The first scene of Lee during the filming was when Mason came out of prison, and I was shocked, Lee exuded a complex temperament all over his body, which was neither a good person nor a bad person, but only gave people an extremely dangerous sense of threat!" I don't think anyone can do a better job in the role of John Mason than Lee! ”

"Also, during filming, there was a scene where the Marines were killed by Mason with a dagger."

"I remember, in the morgue." The host said cooperatively.

Duke changed to a cryptic tone, "I tried to instruct the actor on what sound to make when he was stabbed with a dagger, but Lee interrupted!" ”

"Oh?"

The host was curious, and so was the audience off the stage.

"Lee said directly to me at the time," Duke didn't mean to sell Guanzi, "The person who was stabbed couldn't shout, 'Ah!'" Ah!', but a short sound like 'heh, heh'".

"As for why Lee knew this knowledge...... Duke deliberately turned his head to look at Christopher Lee and changed the subject at the right time, "So, I dare say that this scene you see on the screen is one of the most realistic assassination scenes in the history of cinema!" ”

The scene suddenly fell silent, Christopher Lee and Sean Connery had been hyped by the media some time ago, and these people naturally understood why Lee knew so much.

Then there was another round of applause, a round of applause for Christopher Lee, who clearly recognized Lee even more after Duke's words.

Although it is slightly exaggerated propaganda, Duke is telling the truth, and Lee did talk about the sounds that people make when they die in different ways.

The show is gradually coming to an end, and this is also the time for those tricky questions.

The host Leno didn't mean to embarrass the three actors, so he went directly to Duke and asked unceremoniously, "Can you comment on "Interview with the Vampire", the current competitor of "Brave Island"?" ”
