Take off your sunglasses and put down your handbag, Tom? The Crews sat in the VIP box on the second floor of the theater, watched the time that was about to reach midnight, and waited for the movie that rejected them to begin.

Compared to Tom with a gloomy face? Cruise, Nicole? Kidman's face was slightly better, there was no special expression on her sickly white face, and she knew very well that jealousy and anger would not solve anything, Duke? Rosenberg's pace of progress seems unstoppable, and if "Independence Day" can get a global box office of about $500 million, it will inevitably establish the status of Hollywood's first-line director in one fell swoop.

Although the other party rejected her audition, and there was a verbal conflict with each other some time ago, Nicole? Kidman doesn't want to worry too much, but recently let the agent find a way to get closer, after all, it is far better to have a big director than a stiff relationship.

Pity......

The pale blue eyes turned to the side, it was her husband, he didn't seem to have anything with Duke? Rosenberg's intention to détente, even if Pat? Kim Sili reminded her several times.

Nicole? Kidman knows very well that since Duke? After the news that Rosenberg vetoed Cruise to star in "Independence Day" with a salary of $5 million, his good husband picked up the grievances and grievances generated by "Death Island" and "Interview with the Vampire at Night".

Although Tom? Cruise never mentioned it. But Nicole? Kidman could guess that he must have other moves to follow.

The glow of Beverly Hills always hides a lot of darkness.

It's about 3 miles west of this theater. There is a mansion that has been guarded by the paparazzi for the past year, and the once world-famous gentleman spokesperson has become a rotten thing that fell into the stinky ditch under their pen and photos.

Sean sitting in the living room of the mansion? Connery, with his hair neatly combed back and his beard neatly trimmed, looked like a true gentleman. It's just that pair of gloomy eyes, flashing with a sharp light that is difficult for others to detect.

"Sean. Are you really going to do that? ”

Connery is opposite his most trusted friend, and at the same time has been his public relations officer, "It's not a small amount!" ”

"$3 million. It's nothing to me! "Sean? Connery's words seemed to be squeezed out between his teeth, "Jack, contact all the well-known critics, I want them to give the hardest possible attack on that bastard's film!" Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox don't have PR critics, and those vampires must be very unhappy! ”

"Sean, ...... do this"

The guy named Jack was visibly worried, "It won't do you much good for your career." ”

"Career?" Sean? Connery's teeth almost clenched together, "Jack, do you think I still have a career to speak of?" No matter how bad it is. Can it be worse than now? My ** has all been exposed, what else can Warner and Fox do? Looking for someone to kill me? ”

Jack didn't answer, things were like Sean? That's what Connery said. The image of the gentleman he relied on to survive in Hollywood was completely ruined, the scandals were overwhelming, the CAA almost hid him, the divorce and property division lawsuits were endless, and he didn't get any job for a year, which was already the worst situation for Hollywood movie stars.

"Duke? Rosenberg! ”

The name is exactly from Sean? Connery's teeth squeezed out. "Jack, I must see him unlucky! See him finished! I have exact news. The mother and son have his support behind them, and the famous lawyer who fights for their family property should be Duke? The people at Rosenberg helped find it! ”

Even, Sean? Connery felt that his scandal had nothing to do with that guy, although there was no evidence.

"Calm down! Sean! ”

The people who know these celebrities best are often their PR and agents, and Jack knows that Connery is an impulsive person, "What you need most now is calm, impulsiveness won't solve anything." ”

"Try your best to contact the film critics." Sean? Connery took two deep breaths, temporarily suppressing his anger, "Especially Roger? Albert! ”

"Don't worry, I'll do it!"

To Sean? Connery nodded, and the publicist strode out of the mansion.

A director, even a director with a little more experience that no one else will have, wants to rush to the top of the directorial world, and it is no less difficult than the earthlings in "Independence Day" to defeat the brutal aliens.

In this extremely competitive circle, competitors will not just shout a few slogans and put some mouth cannon in the air......

In New York, in theaters on the Upper East Side, the midnight show of "Independence Day" has begun.

A huge shadow shrouded the moon, the American flag and the surface of the moon trembled in the shadows, Erin held her breath and unconsciously held Anna's hand, and then saw a huge spaceship flying towards the earth, thinking of the content in the trailer and poster introduction, her hand trembled slightly, the battle to defend the earth is about to start!

"Typical Duke? Rosenberg formatted style. Anna let Erin hold her hand, but habitually began to analyze in her heart, "There is no gossip, and there is no inexplicable ignorance, the film goes straight to the point at the beginning, and it is not muddy at all!" ”

"It's time to start!" Erin couldn't help but mutter.

Right next to her, David from The New Yorker? Dengbi frowned tightly, the first scene at the beginning of the film is special effects, which is completely showing off, such a movie simply makes people feel bad, it's not that the film can't use special effects, but if you can use it, you can make such a play? Can't we take a slow and gradual approach to storytelling?

"Beginning, failure!" He crossed a sentence directly in his notebook.

However, as the huge spaceship gets closer and closer to Earth, the shots, which are fully rendered with model-made zuò and CGI special effects, elicits bursts of exclamation and admiration in the theater. It's like the Tyrannosaurus rex they saw in the theater last year in Jurassic Park, dumbfounded.

It's the best special effects technology available today!

Anna, a film graduate, is sure of this, and Sarah, a female reporter for the Los Angeles Times, is sure of this.

The film is also using parallel montage to explain human life before the arrival of alien spacecraft in multiple directions. As well as portraying several characters who are clearly the protagonists, Duke? Rosenberg's best explosion scene has not yet appeared, but Sarah, who is sitting in the Los Angeles City Hall, can see from the breath-holding and extremely serious expressions of the audience around her that the film is very, very attractive!

Hollywood, White House, Capitol, Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, Statue of Liberty, Central Park, Empire State Building, ...... Countless iconic buildings across the United States are overshadowed by alien spaceships.

In the skies over New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago and other major cities, the alien spaceship reveals its true identity after the brilliant sunset fire clouds dissipate!

On the screen, everyone from children to police officers to taxi drivers was dumbfounded. Off-screen, audiences from New York to Los Angeles, from Seattle to Miami were also jaw-dropping!

This is an elaborate zuò special effect. Maybe in Duke's eyes, it is unsatisfactory, but in the eyes of the audience in this era, it is the top and most real existence!

In theaters near the University of Southern California. Allen, Jones, and Kunites had round eyes, their mouths slightly open, as if they had seen something unbelievable, and their expressions could only be described in one word - shock!

"God, help me!" Kunites held his chest, "With "Independence Day", how can other special effects films be watched!" ”

"Duke? Rosenberg This is ruining the special effects film of all Hollywood! ”

As the fire fades and the film moves into a slower transition, Jones seizes the opportunity. said to the two companions next to him, "This summer's film with special effects as a selling point is coming to an end!" ”

"It's going to be over!" Alan chimed in.

Ordinary movie fans are naturally most concerned about special effects, and they are all waiting. Wait to see the moment when major cities and landmarks across the United States are destroyed by aliens, and wait to see the full version of the White House in ashes......

Sitting in a theater in Chicago, Roger? Albert's focus is certainly not on special effects, although not a staunch anti-special effects and big investors, but as a 'very smart' film critic, the focus must be on other aspects.

For example, the structure and narrative of the film.

Aside from the topic of alien attacks and how humans respond. Director Duke? Rosenberg also takes a subtle approach to some of the issues that are of greatest concern to North American audiences. It can not only relieve the nervous tension caused by suspense and big scenes, but also play the role of embellishment of the theme and push the story forward, so as to use the limited space to create flesh and blood for several main characters.

For example, the film celebrates family affection from several angles.

The federal president couple loves their daughter, Duke? Rosenberg focused on describing that the president has been thinking about his daughter and wife, and at many critical moments, the president nervously asks his subordinates - where is my daughter - in fact, there are not a few shots in total, but the director lightly makes the image of "the president loves his children" deeply imprinted in the audience's mind.

Even Roger? Albert thinks he is elegant, and he has to admit that the mainstream value orientation of advocating "family first" in the United States is that the president's family is simply a model for the family in the United States. Rosenberg's efforts to portray the American president's notion of "family first" will undoubtedly please mainstream audiences.

And the Latino pilot who used alcohol to kill his sorrows, bravely crashed into the alien spaceship for the sake of his children, and the biggest reason why he did this was not some ethereal and false emptiness, but to protect his children and dedicate himself to his family.

Roger? Albert is very clear that this kind of sacrifice for the sake of family affection, although it seems extremely cliché, is often the most touching and tried and tested "tear gas" in the movie. Rosenberg designed it this way, too, to please the audience.

Yes, in his opinion, whether it is an explosion, or a description of family love, Duke? Rosenberg, the director, has always adhered to the mainstream value orientation, and used the most vulgar and annoying way to please the market and the audience, but the most disgusting thing about the film is another!

And this scene detonated the love of ordinary audiences in the United States, which can be called the biggest killer feature of the film except for special effects! (To be continued)
