Chapter 10 Premiere (6)

Natalie, who has always been a bit strong. Portman actually showed a hint of shyness after hearing Jerry's answer to the reporter, "Jerry, is this really necessary?" ”

"Are you referring to the high-profile announcement of our relationship? I wish everyone knew you were my girlfriend, so instead of letting them speculate and make a lot of nonsense, it would be better for us to be honest and honest. It's good to keep the paparazzi honestly shut up, unless, unless you regret it now. ”

"Repentance? I've got something in my hand, and I'm not going to give him away easily. "Natalie. Portman smiled at Jerry and held Jerry's hand tightly. There's no reason why she shouldn't be nervous, because in the whole of America, and even in the whole Shijie, I don't know how many girls with spring are eyeing her boyfriend who just got it

"That's good, I'm really afraid you'll regret it. NAT, you don't need to be so nervous, I'm not going to be snatched away. Unless you don't want me anymore."

"I'm going to be nervous about you."

Jerry had some understanding of his new girlfriend's temper, and he smiled, "Okay, you're not nervous, but NAT, you have to be mentally prepared." Those American paparazzi aren't vegetarians, and they're going to bite you in no time. ”

Natalie. Portman poked Jerry's finger, "You're to blame for that." But if they come, I won't be afraid of them. ”

Let. Renaud happened to walk in from outside at this time, and saw Jerry and Natalie standing intimately together, and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "My dearest Mathilde, how can you abandon Leon, who loves you, and fall in love with this kid Hey, boy, stay away from my girl." ”

Jerry Hahadaxiao followed Jean. Renaud shook his hand, "Don't worry, Leon, I'll be very good to Mathilde." ”

Natalie on the side chuckled and followed Jean. Renault came with a veneer salute, "Hello, Mr. Renault." ”

Let. Renault looked at the two people who were still fingers interlocked, "It seems that the rumors of the group of reporters outside are true." Tell me, boy, when did you take advantage of my inattention and capture Nat's heart? ”

"NAT and I are alumni, and we have several courses that coincide. So, naturally, we were together. ”

"Is that really the case?" Let. Renault clearly has a kind of protection for Natalie. Portman's inclinations.

"Of course it is. Or what does Mr. Renault think? Jerry smirked.

Follow Jean. Luc came in behind Renault. Besson saw the three of them standing together chatting, and also walked over, "Hey~ Jerry, long time no see." ”

"It's been a long time since I saw each other, it's been almost three and a half years. You've gained a lot of weight, and Mr. Besson is nervous when others make movies, and they have a lot of shape. ”

Luc. Besson touched his bulging belly, "I just make movies that I like, and I never feel any pressure to make movies for myself." So, you don't have to doubt it at all when you see that I'm going to get fat. ”

"A movie for yourself? That's a good way to put it. "Jerry and Luc. Besson hugged him, "But Mr. Besson, shouldn't you take care of your hair, you really look like Arthur in this mess right now." ”

"Arthur?" Luc. Besson stroked his messy hair, not remembering for a moment who Jerry was talking about, "Who is Arthur?" ”

Oops, quick mouth for a while.

"Arthur was a mischievous child in my mind's mind who discovered all sorts of wonderful treasures left to him by his grandfather who mysteriously disappeared four years ago under his grandmother's garden. The evil real estate merchant wants to take his grandmother's garden for himself, and the only way to do so is to find the ruby that his grandfather has hidden in the garden. In order to solve the puzzle, he opened the door of the moonlight and unexpectedly entered a magical underground shijie, an elven kingdom called Mini Mo. There, all of them were only that big, well, two millimeters in size, and Arthur had turned into a mini-elf, with messy hair, pointed ears, and a quirky expression. Mr. Besson, like your hair now, but the only pity is that you are not as cute as he is."

Natalie hears Jerry teasing Luc. Besson, covering her mouth, hid behind Jerry and snickered.

Luc. Besson didn't mind Jerry's words at all, "Jerry, your story isn't finished yet, why don't you keep talking." ”

"Hey~ Mr. Besson, I just wanted to answer you who Arthur was, I didn't say I was going to tell you a story."

"But you've managed to arouse my continued listening, you can't just talk half like this, and just hang my appetite there"

"Okay~ Mr. Besson, if you want to know the next story, I think I'll send you the story, but you wait for me to write the full story, instead of me just standing here and telling you the story. Today, we have something even more important, the premiere of "Killer Leon" awaits us. ”,

"Then it's settled."

This guy is really an old naughty boy, and he really has a fight with Zhou Botong.

Luc. Besson turned around unwillingly, and suddenly turned back, then pointed at Jerry, and then at Natalie. Portman, "When ...... You Two"

Not only is the innocence still alive, but also the afterthought.

Producer and director Luc. After a brief introduction by Besson, the premiere of the film began.

Several aerial shots succinctly introduce the audience to the location where the film takes place: the ocean - the highway - the streets of the city - the alleys - zuihou is fading, the screen is black.

A black shot leads to the main character, Leon.

A pair of hands on the table, a glass of milk in between, a pair of black sunglasses, a series of super-large close-ups create a sense of Lyon's mystique.

It is this glass of milk that sets the stage in the beginning of the film, so that the character characteristics can be revealed later.

"Let's talk about business. This dead fat man wants to steal Morizo's business, Morizio understands things, he just wants to talk to this dead fat man, but this guy doesn't want to listen, maybe he will listen to you. He comes to town every Tuesday, are you free on Tuesday? ”

"Yes, I'm free on Tuesday."

In the most concise dialogue, Leon's lenses reflect the image of his boss lighting a cigarette sitting across from him - the lenses save the shot from the counter-shot

In this scene, the picture of the fat man appears twice, giving the audience enough hints, and then, Leon drinks all the milk, and the film transitions.

The whole scene, for the portrayal of Leon, is all a local close-up.

The fat man in the photo walked menacingly. The old man's face is constantly obscured by the shadows of the people who walk by, indicating what is to come and the identity of these people - there is not a single superfluous line, it is entirely a change of light and shadow to reveal the identity of the characters.

When the fat man and others entered the room, when the fat man saw the face of the girl, he changed the time of action and only said one word: one hour.

The subtext is obvious, and the refinement of the language is once again beyond measure.

A shadow overshadowed the old man, and Leon began to appear.

When the fat man's five men are killed by Leon, there are almost no close-up images of Leon's front in the camera: several gunshots, and the bloody telephone receiver falls to the ground; Standing in the hallway and looking downstairs, the camera slowly advances from behind him, which makes the viewer think that the killer is behind him, but this person is finally strangled by a rope from above, and so on, you will always see what you want to see, but you never know how the director used to achieve this effect.

After the fat man finds out that his men have all died at the hands of Leon, the picture shows him frantically searching for various ways to escape in the room, and his rapid gasps constitute the voice of the movie. Just as the fat man dialed the police station, a knife came out from behind him and put it around his neck - the music, the sound (the fat man's gasps, his heartbeat) all stopped, and the picture was pitch black except for a side light on the fat man and Leon. There is nothing on the screen, just two people.

The appearance of the girl adds a lot to this scene. The confrontation between Leon and the fat man was quite tense before, and at this time, the girl just now appeared, looked at the two people and smiled awkwardly, and then walked away. A jiji girl eased the atmosphere of the audience and made the audience relaxed. (Because the anger of the previous scene was too nervous, the girl and the old lady in the scene where the little girl's family was killed later adjusted the rhythm of the whole clip.)

Or the scene of the confrontation between Leon and the fat man. Zuihou The fat man begged for mercy in fright, and the siren outside the painting was great. Audibly alert us that it's time for the transition again.

Leon in life only used a few short shots: standing on the subway, standing more ordinary than ordinary people; buying milk at the grocery store; painful bathing in the bathroom, ironing clothes in the room; Carefully wipe every leaf of his beloved pot of flowers in front of the window. Leon's treatment of this pot of flowers is a foreshadowing, paving the way for him to save the little girl later. treats a pot of flowers so carefully, so how can you not save that girl?

Cheerful music brings out the little girl Mathilde.

A cute elf sits in the hallway, smoking a cigarette cutely, and says hi to Leon as he passes by, showing that Mathilde has a very good impression of Leon. At the same time, the injury on the edge of her eye socket also shows what she has encountered at home.

Before the little girl Mathilde's family was killed, Mathilde had been doing things all morning with only one purpose: to take Mathilde away. Then these people in the family must have a good reason to stay at home. Mom gets pestered by Dad before going to work - a shot of doing * in the bathroom and a shot of Mom taking a shower in the bathtub; Needless to say, Dad doesn't have a formal job; My sister is doing aerobics on TV; The only thing that Mathilde loves is that he is too young to go out. Only Matita, a child who is not big or small, was dragged to the street by her mother after an argument with her sister. This sets the stage for the massacre that follows and Mathilde's later decision to take revenge. She didn't love her parents, she didn't love her sister, but her favorite brother was killed by those police. ,

Mathilde was in the hallway with Leon, her nose bleeding.

"Is life always hard? Or is it just childhood? ”

"Always."

Mathilde says she wants to buy milk for Leon, and Mathilde is so meticulous in her observation of Leon that she knows that the milk Leon asks for is two quarts

The sound of the violin here shows Mathilde's heart at this time.

All of this makes the audience not surprised by the legend of Mathilde and Lyon.

After Mathilde returns from shopping and discovers that her family has been killed, she goes straight to Leon's room and begs Leon to open the door. Filmed in slow motion during Mathilde's walk. Because she had to complete a series of mental activities such as discovering that her family had been killed - holding back her grief - deciding to walk through her own door to seek protection from Leon. If you switch to normal shooting time, it is difficult to fully express these mental activities through the lens. The slow-motion shooting used here assumes that time is extended, so that the viewer can complete the reconstruction of Mathilde's mental activity in this hypothetically extended time.

Leon's actions make the audience anxious - he has been watching the carnage outside through the keyhole, and everyone knows that Leon will definitely open the door for Mathilde. So the door of Zuihou finally opened, and the warm life-symbolizing sun shone on the little girl's face - Mathilde was rescued

The film arranges Mathilde's love affair with Leon. and arranged a perverted police image, which is impossible in Hollywood movies and mainstream Western society, but the end of the film gives the audience a happy ending: Leon and the policeman die together. Although the film shows an extremely humane and extremely cute killer, the killer is a killer after all, a character who is not allowed to survive by the entire mainstream society.

Luc. Besson is clever in that he has two endings for the whole film - one is that Leon is dead, and the other is that Mathilde ends her lies and returns to school.

The ending sets the tone of the whole film - facing the vast majority of people, in other words, the commercial nature of the film.

This is Luc. Besson's first commercial film foray into Hollywood.

When Mathilde said that the pot of silver was poured out of the pot and planted in the earth, she said, "I think we will live well here." In Steen's "shape_of_my_heart", the whole film ends in an aesthetic way.

A stubborn and willful, independent, and mature classic Lori image that is extremely incommensurate with age and a lonely and silent, cold and capable, alert and kind killer image has been reconstructed.

When the lights in the theater came on again, the main creators of the movie were greeted with thunderous applause.
