Chapter 247: I Want More Than Meeting
"A funny, witty, and humorous film." The evaluation given by the media can be roughly summed up in this sentence, as a commercial movie, no one will ask if there is any profound meaning in it, this is not a language class in Sean's previous life, and the curtain weishenme is blue can write a paper of thousands of words.
So most of the film critics just write some interesting stories, such as how Clooney tricked Julia into the crew with a check for $12, or Clooney took the initiative to reduce his price in order to make the film a success, etc., which were revealed when the movie was promoted, and it also had a lot of effects.
It's a pity that some gossip can only circulate in private after all, and it will only have a turning effect when it comes to the table, for example, Sean heard that the box office this weekend was actually only 33 million, but in order to ensure that his movie could sit at the top of the North American box office, he paid for a box office of 5 million!
After hearing the news, Sean was stunned for a long time, to be honest, even if it is a weekend box office of 33 million, "Ocean's Eleven" is firmly at the top of the list, and "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", which ranks second, has been released for more than two weeks, and it is only more than 20 million weekend box office, what is the point of Clooney doing this?
But then again, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" can still get more than 20 million at the box office after two weeks of release, and it is indeed not to be underestimated, and Clooney cannot predict everything, so with his flamboyant personality, it is understandable to do so.
In short, the film review for "Ocean's Eleven" is to summarize these gossip reviews, and then give a rating when it is finished, most of them are above average, and those who like commercial movies may give a good review, and then it's over.
The comments on the movie are so simple, and there is even less room for Sean, most of them are just compliments, saying that the acting is not bad, etc., which is more perfunctory. Of course, tabloids like the New York Post, which has tasted a lot of sweetness on Sean, still have to be sarcastic for a sentence or two, but they are also relatively weak.
In fact, none of this matters, this is just a commercial movie, the content has been recognized by most people, and the criticism of acting skills will not affect anything, not to mention-
"Your excellence is obvious to all," Frederick relayed Leyson's words, "at least on the Internet, many people like your character, and many of them are about to compare you to Clooney and Pete, and you starred in Ocean's Eleven to accumulate popularity, and now that your popularity is very good, what are you worried about?" ”
Well, the agent is right, since the purpose has been achieved, there is no need to care about anything else, there will always be an opportunity to give the New York Post a good look.
So, after attending the premiere of "Ocean's Eleven", Sean immediately rushed to the United Kingdom to attend the premiere of another film, that is, the first part of "The Lord of the Rings", which was filmed for 18 months and nearly a year in post-production.
"I'm about to be tested by the audience, and I'm suddenly starting to feel a little timid, what if they don't like it? What if fans think the movie is a desecration of the classics? What if I go out in the future and someone throws eggs and tomatoes? "Inside the Imperial Cinema in London's Leicester Square, Peter? Jackson said to several of the main actors and producers.
No wonder he was so worried, it is said that during the previous internal test screening, several people felt that although the CG of the movie looked very beautiful, giving people a real and magnificent feeling, the pace of the story was still a little slow. However, the new line does not have the idea of selling the North American distribution rights to recoup a little cost first, and it would be foolish to do so again with the lessons of 20th Century Fox, and since they have raised $300 million to build a trilogy, it is already a big gamble, and it doesn't matter if they bet bigger.
Only, though, that said, Peter? There was only a look of excitement in Jackson's eyes, no matter what, the movie was done, he had fulfilled his dream, and whether the movie Zuihou became a bad movie or a classic, he would leave a heavy mark in film history.
"Wait and see, Peter, this will become a classic." Sean, who saw it in his eyes, said the same thing as everyone else, "You see, the similar "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has a box office of 200 million in North America, and although "The Lord of the Rings" is PG-13, it may be a little worse, but it will certainly not be too far behind. ”
“xiexie。” Although Jackson has let go of his expectations for the box office, he still doesn't care about this.
Sean knew what he was thinking, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is a family-friendly movie after all, especially the first two, and the novel has only been a big hit in the past two years, and it can't be compared with "The Lord of the Rings", which has decades of accumulation.
In that case, let the facts speak for themselves, for Sean, even if many memories are blurry, the big sales of "The Lord of the Rings" are still certain, and likewise, the big sales of the Harry Potter series. Thinking of this, Sean couldn't help but sigh, if he had the capital at that time, how good it would be to get the copyright of the Harry Potter series, vaguely remembering that this system of profits has created a profit chain worth billions.
Anyway, even if he had the money and got the film rights at the time, he could still only cooperate with big Hollywood companies, and with the operation of capital and the film industry by these guys, it was already very good that he could drink the soup.
Even if you drink some soup, you should ...... Sean shook his head and stopped his thoughts, no matter what, this matter is over, unless he can be reborn again, it's a pity that Hermione's little Lori is gone.
After crossing the line with Camilla, Sean felt like a floodgate had opened in his heart, and the girl's half-green and half-mature temptation began to tempt him more and more, just like he had with Helena. And the most impressive girl in her previous life is probably Hermione from the Harry Potter series, that is, the one named Emma? Watson's girl, after making a breakthrough with Camilla, saw the release of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", and he couldn't help but think of that little girl.
Of course, she is still too young now, and she can only be said to be cute, and she can only be said to be seductive after becoming a girl in a few years. It's a pity that Sean doesn't have much access to the other party, and a situation like Camilla is completely unattainable, if you wait until a few years later...... What is the situation in the entertainment industry, the current Sean couldn't be clearer, and then think back to all kinds of information in his previous life, some things are not to be said.
So, even if there was a little bit of excitement, it was quickly put away by him, and now it is enough.
The topic returned to the premiere, which was a success, and although the film was 3 hours long, many people still stood up and applauded at the end. Jackson's excellence in CG makes the picture quite beautiful, and almost every picture can be used to make a postcard, sometimes exquisite, sometimes gorgeous, sometimes wild, sometimes beautiful, plus the pace of the movie is slow, but it is not so slow that it is unacceptable, and several big battles are also very imposing, so overall it is quite good.
It's just that Sean never expected that his role, Haldier, the captain of Roslorian's forest patrol, would only play about 8 to 10 minutes. From the time he opened his bow and arrow at the chattering dwarf, to the meeting with the queen wearing the Ring Squad, and then when the Ring Squads left, he came out to see them off, and there were several shots without him.
This is so depressing, Sean can be sure that he shot more than this for the first film, at least 25 to 30 minutes, so directly minus two-thirds...... Even though he knew that there was no way to do it, he was still a little unhappy.
The only consolation is that his character is very handsome, with angular facial features, deep eyes, blonde hair on a big back hanging down again, masculine and a little feminine, not lost to Orlando at all? Bloom's Legrass. Some female fans had a very heated discussion on the forum, and a few even said that Sean should play Leglass, and then arouse the anger of Bloom's fans and fight again.
However, such a completely unexpected handsomeness also caused no one to see who was playing, so that many people exclaimed after turning to the cast, impossible!
Sean has never been known for being handsome, although he is very tasteful, but Lai Zhi is famous for his acting skills and various controversial topics, so when such a handsome appearance appears on the screen, no one will associate him with him, so after knowing it, they will put on a look of disbelief. But no matter how they don't believe it, the facts are there, and the handsome and handsome Haldier on the screen is not lost to Legras, and he should really thank the makeup artist.
It's just that, even so, Sean is still not as good as Orlando who plays Legolas in this regard? Bloom, who made the latter one of the protagonists, and, even if he has more topics as a topical character, the media's attention is still focused on the entire trilogy, and he is not even mentioned, and the appearance debate is limited to the Internet.
There is nothing to regret this, there will be gains and losses, and there will be gains and losses, playing Haldier is for the long-term good, and Sean decided it as early as the beginning, otherwise he would definitely go to compete for Legras.
Well, that's the case about the first part of The Lord of the Rings, after the premiere in the UK, it won't be released in the United States until around Christmas, and with the current extremely good reputation, Yujian will definitely be quite popular, and both Jackson and the new line company can breathe a sigh of relief.
At the premiere this time, Sean failed to meet Liv like he did in "Ocean's Eleven"? Taylor has another brief passion, after all, Arwen is the wife of the Emperor. Well, it's a joke, the reason why Sean didn't tease Liv is because there are too many reporters, the British paparazzi are all famous, and they can do anything for a little valuable news, Sean doesn't want to attract too much attention, his attention is on something else.
Even so, a quarrel sparked.
"You said you respected me, but what are you doing now? What are you doing?! ”
"You promised me at least one day a month when we would get together, but now?!"
"Didn't I meet you?"
"But I don't just want to meet!"
