Chapter 144: A Thumbs Up (Asking for a Subscription and Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The subtitles slowly fell, the spotlights overhead suddenly turned on, and the entire theater was silent, and the audience was both surprised and thinking, Ryan? Jenkins' new work turned out to be such a story? Middle-aged killers and little girls? The girl who played Matilda turned out to be so good at acting......
Ryan looked to the side, Natalie was really nervous this time, if she didn't get the audience's approval for the first time on the big screen, it would be no less than a disaster for her.
The girl couldn't help but take Ryan's hand, and before he knew it, several long nails had sunk into his hands.
"Smack~"
I don't know who it was, but the first one clapped his palm, and the audience came back to their senses, and the applause surged like a tide, which lasted for several minutes.
Seeing Natalie beside her let out a sigh, Ryan shook her hand back, "Hear me, Nat, these applause are cheering for you." ”
Natalie's nervousness disappeared when the applause rang out, and her face had already changed to excitement and excitement, and she bit her lower lip, as if to remind herself to calm down.
"Well done, Nat!"
People who came to congratulate him poured in, and Ryan took Natalie's arm and stood up, greeting everyone who came over and who they knew or didn't know.
Among them, many people focused their attention on the girls next to him.
"Very good story, Ryan." Shirley? Lansing then looked at Natalie, "Miss Portman, your acting skills are amazing, and believe me, you will definitely get no less evaluation than Ryan in "The Sixth Sense." ”
"Thank you." Natalie's smile grew brighter and brighter.
"Ryan, you're so amazing, this story ...... "Carter? Eisner didn't know what to say for a while.
"It's just a fairy tale. Carter. Ryan shook his hand.
"Miss Portman, take the liberty of asking. Interested in coming to Disney? "The guy took aim at Natalie.
"It's an honor." Natalie politely said, of course, a disguised refusal.
Natalie's parents also came over. Mother and daughter hugged each other, and Mr. Evner looked at Ryan and shook his head slightly, "The movie is good, not as sensitive as I thought." ”
After the film screening, it was naturally a press conference, and when the crew walked into the press room, the sound of camera shutters and the chaotic noise were connected.
The content of this movie is so surprising. Ryan? What was Jenkins thinking? Many reporters have such questions.
All sorts of questions rang out like a cannon, although Luc? Besson did a very good job and was recognized by them, but everywhere there was xenophobia, he was just an outsider, and with the exception of a few media outlets from France, the journalist naturally focused on his own people.
"It's just a fairy tale, a story about two small children, a girl and a boy. In their hearts, they were both twelve years old, and they had formed a deep bond because of the feeling of loss. ”
Faced with the question thrown by the reporter, Ryan just replied with such a sentence. Just keep silent, the movie has been released, how to interpret him can't control it.
"Natalie. You played so well in this film, how did you manage to do that? ”
"Natalie. This should be your first time on the big screen, have you studied acting before? ”
"Miss Portman. I find that you are almost performing in your true colors, do you face the same situation as Matilda in your life? ”
As for Natalie, it became another point of fire, which is not surprising, unless you are blind, everyone knows what a brilliant performance this girl has in the movie, and they almost witnessed the birth of an acting genius.
In the face of the fanatical pursuit of reporters, Natalie still maintained her due calm, and answered some questions from time to time under the advice of the female agent, this smart and somewhat precocious girl, after experiencing the baptism of the red carpet and movie premieres, her mood was obviously much calmer, even in the face of some not very friendly questions, she coped with it decently, not to mention, she is still a child after all, protected by children's law, even the paparazzi understand that some things can't be done too much.
"Ryan, Miss Natalie used to say before the movie that you were friends and had known each other since '89?" The journalist apparently did not forget about the topic.
Glancing at the reporter, Ryan knew very well that this kind of thing would soon be dug up by reporters and paparazzi, after all, it was not a secret at all, and many people in the community where Natalie lived had seen the two of them playing together.
"That's right, Natalie is a good friend of mine."
"So what do you think of her role in this movie? How is it better than you are in The Sixth Sense? ”
Ryan frowned, there was obviously provocation in his words, these people are really afraid that the world will not be chaotic, maybe they are the happiest if the third world war breaks out.
"It's outstanding."
The press conference ended in a lot of disturbances, and walking out of the press room, Ryan saw that although Natalie was excited, her face was not very good-looking, and she had obviously suffered a lot of trouble from reporters.
However, this is too normal, and if they don't make things difficult, it must be the end of the world.
"Mrs. Shelly, I've got Nat back in good condition."
In a break room, Ryan grinned and pushed Natalie to her mother, "Nat, get dressed up before you hit the street tomorrow and be careful of causing traffic chaos on Long Island." ”
There is no need to say a lot of things, Jin Sili has already instructed that child stars are often carried away by praise or criticism when they are just becoming famous.
However, Ryan believes that with Natalie's intelligence, she should be able to cope with this situation, she coped with it very well in her previous life, although she is more than a year ahead in this life, her mind is stronger, and she will not have too many problems in the future.
"After watching the movie, I went back to the hotel, drank a cup of coffee, and turned on the lamp, I always like to write when my memory is clear, free and dripping."
"When I was playing Beethoven's concerto, I suddenly remembered what police officer Stan said in the movie, 'Beethoven's opening was good and made me feel good, but then it started to get boring...... Do you know why I don't kill you now? After saying that, he started to kill, and with his huge body falling to the ground, a slaughter was completed! ”
"Killer Leon, Ryan? Jenkins' first and possibly only work of the year, or is it with the Frenchman Luc? Besson's collaborative work. Every character in this movie is unexpectedly brilliant, it doesn't have a lot of deep thought, but it's fascinating. ”
"Let? Mr. Renault's Leon is a professional killer who is ruthless in his work, and who lives a very simple life - just like a craftsman in the Middle Ages, who goes out early and returns late, running for a living, he is not so much a killer as a life in his own right - he represents the extreme side of men, brutal and cold-blooded in the face of enemies, but maintains the necessary rules for meek women and delicate children, and warmth becomes his Achilles heel, and finally pays the price of his life, but he will not regret it. ”
"Gary? Oldman, the British actor has always been good at playing evil roles, and this time he shows the neurotic side of the villain cop Stan to the fullest, he likes Beethoven and understands Mozart, but he is crazy, cruel and indifferent, such a contradictory personality and a person, even in the face of death, is still crazy. ”
"Let's talk about another important character, Matilda, a precocious, rebellious, intelligent and even crazy girl, despite the coldness, despair and pain in her life, she loves her young brother, and after witnessing the tragedy of her family, with the help of Leon, she survives strongly, but she never forgets to avenge her brother."
"Matilda's appearance illuminates Leon's life, and it also becomes her own new life and redemption, he is changed by her, he becomes her dependence, and the two painful lives are turned upside down."
"This is Ryan's most evocative work since "The Sixth Sense", and the peculiar relationship between Leon and Matilda is even more eye-catching, I don't know if they are considered love or not, at least the expression in the movie is very complicated, but love can be interpreted in this way, not empty words, such feelings may be great or eternal."
"The performances of the three actors are so good, and that alone is worth the ticket price of the movie, but the most surprising of them is Natalie who plays Matilda? Miss Portman, this girl under the age of twelve is the best acting girl I've ever seen, when was the last time we saw such a wonderful performance in a movie? That goes back to Judy? Foster starred in "Taxi Driver". ”
"Since Judy? After Foster, there has never been a girl who can play a role almost perfectly at such an age, and even give people an illusion that she is Matilda, Matilda is her, people can't tell each other, if this movie is without her, it will be at least half of the color! ”
"In Ryan? After Jenkins, it is very likely that Hollywood will usher in another talented child actor, as long as you have watched "Killer Leon", presumably not many people will deny this, she is completely worthy of Luc? Besson held a huge casting event in New York. ”
"Ryan? Jenkins brings us a different and wonderful story, Luc? Besson presented a masterpiece, let? Renault, Gary? Oldman and Natalie? Portman brought a great performance, and "Killer Leon" definitely deserves a thumbs up! ”
-- Roger of the Chicago Tribune? Albert.
Everybody knows, Roger? Since the beginning of "Terminator 2", Albert has been interested in Ryan? Jenkins favored it, but he didn't expect him to give "Killer Leon" such a high rating.
Ryan's change of the sensitive plot in the film obviously played a role, and the slight change at the end made Matilda, a rebellious and problematic character, have such a sense of returning to the mainstream, which will naturally please the mainstream media. (To be continued......)
