Chapter 239: Postponement of the release
“…… Laura? Hurley and Naomi? Watts' character is a great example of Hollywood's risk, and they are based on a lot of Rita-like characters. A girl like Hayworth, wearing clothes that show off her slimness and sexiness, expects her dreams to come true in Hollywood. Naomi with a pair of bright eyes? Watts is particularly outstanding, switching between inconsistent naivety and sophistication, and performing very well in the audition of the play-within-a-play.
It's a movie that requires you to give up on yourself, and if you need logic, see something else. "Mulholland Drive" acts directly on emotions, likes music, likes dreams, loves this disconnected but full of metaphorical narration, dream-like movies, you can walk into the cinema and tell your friends after it's over, I watched one of the weirdest movies last night and it was like having a weird dream......"
Reading this, Sean put down the newspaper in his hand and glanced at Naomi who was still writing and drawing with some dissatisfaction: "Hey, are you listening?" ”
"Any questions?" Naomi replied without looking up, but from the corners of her mouth, she could tell that she was in a good mood right now.
"Of course, I'm reading Roger? Albert's review of Mulholland Drive," Sean said in a deliberately unpleasant tone, "You know, he's been to David before this? Lynch's film is a reservation, this time it is a rare compliment, and he also praised you for the best performance among them, maybe you can get an Oscar nomination for Best Actress next year. ”
"Mulholland Drive" to David in Cannes? After Lynch brought home a best director, he immediately went into distribution and then released it in less than three digits of theaters on October 12.
Although it was a little quiet, the media still gave some coverage, after all, this is the work that won the best director in Cannes, and it is also David? Lynch's debut work after the critically criticized Lost Highway. Famous film critic Roger? Albert naturally commented, and what was surprising was that he, who didn't like Lynch before, gave a lot of praise this time, thinking that he filmed people's dreams very wonderfully.
Although "Mulholland Drive" has attracted a lot of attention by participating in Cannes, and being praised by him has become the focus of attention, although many viewers complain on the Internet that they can't understand it, but there are also many cult film lovers who like it very much.
As the heroine, Naomi naturally attracted the attention of many reporters, especially Albert also praised her by the way, these days, as long as there is news of "Mulholland Drive" in the newspaper, there will inevitably be news of her. And Naomi's agent, that is, Frederick's old rival Anna? Gordon, seized the opportunity to arrange for her to appear on several very targeted talk shows, and found a public relations to create a generous and strong and unyielding image for her, so she received countless applause, and Sean's prediction became a reality, and he naturally came to celebrate.
"Got it." Naomi shrugged her shoulders and replied lazily.
"Then you should be happy." Sean spread his hands in confusion.
"I've been happy," Naomi stopped what she was doing and looked up, her grey eyes tingling with indescribable tenderness, "I've read Albert's article several times. ”
"And you're still letting me read this report?" Sean immediately folded his arms and squinted his eyes to make a look of asking for guilt.
"I just want you to read it to me." Naomi replied.
Sean didn't speak again, just quietly looked at Naomi who lowered her head to get busy again, and only got up and walked to her side after a while, and was about to say something, but immediately rolled his eyes after seeing what she was doing: "This is what I look like in your heart?" ”
In front of Naomi is a blank piece of paper, and on it is a drawing of a person, who looks like a man, but one eye is big and small, and his hair is completely painted in circles, and the whole picture is miserable, where it looks like a person, it is a monster, and it can't even compare to a child's graffiti.
"I said I couldn't draw." Naomi immediately laughed, looking very happy.
"Happy?" Sean narrowed his eyes and suddenly picked her up from behind.
Naomi exclaimed, then struggled with each other, and the two of them fought intimately for a moment before they sat down again.
"Remember what I said?" Sean said as he stared into Naomi's eyes and gently pinched her face.
"Of course, I remember it all along." Naomi, who sat on his lap and swapped his neck, replied tenderly.
"All suffering has passed, and the dawn is at hand." Sean kissed her lightly on the forehead, "It's a pity that my production company doesn't have any good movies right now, otherwise I could have asked you to be the heroine." ”
"It's okay, I already have a role, and I'm also the heroine." Naomi said then.
"Oh?" Sean was a little surprised, "Can I know the details?" ”
"Sometimes...... What you see isn't necessarily the truth, and your judgment isn't necessarily true," Naomi said suddenly, a flash of trance on her face, "Just like you, Sean." ”
"Happen...... What's the matter? Sean asked curiously.
"Hmm...... Nicole recommended a role to me, and then I went to an audition and passed. Naomi said briefly.
"Nicole?" Sean repeated the name from her mouth, then her eyes widened, "You mean that Nicole?" ”
"Yes, it's that Nicole, when she got divorced this year, I went to see her to comfort her." Naomi sighed, "She's not easy, either. ”
Sean didn't speak, and only asked tentatively after a moment, "So...... Previous......"
"I'm not sure, after all, ......," Naomi smiled self-deprecatingly, "As you said, this is a real society, but I think she still has some affection in her heart." ”
"Maybe." Sean wanted to say something more, but after thinking about it, how can this kind of thing be explained clearly, so he still stopped there, "Then what kind of role did she recommend to you." ”
"A horror film," Naomi recalled, "was a remake of a horror film from Japan, and it is said that the original version was released in Japan and scared people to death." ”
Sean couldn't help but show a strange look, a Japanese horror movie, and scared people to death, it seems to have some impressions, as if it is called?
"The name of the movie is 'The Ring,' and the main thing is that there's a tape that's circulating everywhere, and as long as someone sees it, they get a phone call telling the person who has seen it that he's going to die in seven days." Naomi recalled, "If you wanted to avoid it, you had to copy the tape and pass it on to others. ”
Well, hearing this kind of script, Sean is basically sure, what should it be called? Curse...... Resentment? Or midnight...... Ringing? It's probably the latter, and there's a Ring in the name. Speaking of which, remakes of Japanese horror films also seem to be a good choice, although plasma films will never go out of style, but at present, Europe and the United States have begun to have aesthetic fatigue of this type of horror films, remakes of some Japanese or Asian-style, psychological hints as the source of thriller and fear, should be able to receive some miracles.
Although there are differences in aesthetics between the East and the West, Asian-style horror films will not occupy the market for long, but if they can go ahead, it should be no problem to make a fortune. Except for this midnight...... In addition to the ringtone, Sean also remembers that there was a Japanese horror film called The Grudge that seemed to have a great response, and he could buy the remake rights, so that there would be a movie in which Katie played the heroine.
But in this way, the women who are currently circling around him, Naomi, Jordana, and Katie, are all heroines of horror movies, which is really ...... It's so much fun. It seems that only the heroine of Zuihou escaped in "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", I don't know what the male protagonist of "Midnight Bell" and "The Grudge" is, if it is ...... Ahem, it shouldn't be fulfilled on me.
I don't know what she will say when she gets the flop to go to Katie, but Jordana is very proud on the phone.
"I agreed to play the role of the heroine because I felt that I really wanted to continue to play it, so I could try this role, understand?" That's what she said, and the implication is that it's not because you promised to come down, it's so cute, and when Sean really wanted to press her on the bed and violate her, he heard her say that.
"Hey, Sean!" A hand shook in front of him, and Naomi's disgruntled and suspicious face appeared in front of him.
As soon as he saw her like this, Sean knew that something was wrong, and women have always been very sensitive in this regard.
"I'm listening," Sean said quietly, "I think I've heard this movie, but it's too much of an exaggeration, and of course, the movie should be very good, so I'm thinking that maybe I can also remake a few steps of Japanese horror films, you know, my production company is expanding, and I want to start with a small-budget film." ”
Speaking of this, he sighed deliberately: "If I had known this, I should have bought the remake rights of "TheRing", and then asked you to be the heroine." ”
"Let's talk about it later, there will definitely be a chance." Naomi laughed, and her suspicions dissipated a bit.
"Let's change the subject, Nami," Sean said quickly, seizing the opportunity, "Say something else, like I'll sing you the song YouRaiseMeUp that I'm recording, you've heard the clip before, it's a good song." ”
"Oh?" Naomi laughed, "What about Weishenme? ”
"Do you really want to say it? You know what it is......" Sean clutched his head and made a pitiful look.
"If you don't say it, how do I know what you're talking about." Naomi's eyes were bent into crescents.
"Okay, okay, I said......" Sean raised his hand in surrender, "I've been so depressed lately, I've been so disappointed that two Haode movies have been rescheduled." ”
This is true, "The Perfect Thief" and "Sniper Phone Booth", which were originally scheduled to be released in October, have been postponed to next year.
