Chapter 364: Plot
"Frankly, I really have a feeling that I can't wait, I didn't participate in the test screening before, I don't know the specific effect, but I believe that by tomorrow, those guys will have to swallow back everything they said before." Standing in front of several ladies, Sean said eloquently, although he is not very optimistic about this movie in his heart, he still needs to be praised, let alone in front of Nicole.
Besides, most of those guys are coming at him, thinking that he will drag down the whole movie, even if he can't refute it in front of reporters, so as not to be used by them to play on the topic, but what should be said in front of others is still to be said. And Sean is very confident in his acting skills, although when filming "Cold Mountain", he was not as engaged and even fascinated as when he was filming "The Aviator", but it also took a lot of effort.
However, although they said a lot, the ladies didn't react much, either deliberately pretending not to hear anything, or looking at him with an interested look, anyway, they didn't say anything.
Sean didn't feel embarrassed either, just shrugged his shoulders, and then looked at Nicole next to him with a tense face, well, that's the root of their lack of talk.
It's a pity that Nicole didn't say anything, in fact, since Sean came over, she hasn't opened her mouth, so the atmosphere has become a little dull.
In this case, several other ladies began to say goodbye one after another, starting with Natalie, who basically didn't exist as Sean. Then there's Rachel, who at first talks to him, but closes her mouth when she notices Nicole's face, but leaves with a playful smile on her face.
"Awesome, you can make them go on their own without saying a word." When they were all gone, Sean said this to Nicole.
"Why, I don't even have the right not to speak." Nicole replied coldly, "Or do I do nothing and still make you dissatisfied?" ”
"That's right, you didn't do anything, and then they knew everything," Sean shrugged, "Alright, Nicole, don't forget, you were the first to provoke this." ”
"What, it's all on me now?" Nicole turned around, her gray-blue eyes staring at Sean fiercely.
The answer was a crisp "snap", and Sean unceremoniously slapped her buttocks, which were visibly cocked because of the high heels.
"You!" Nicole was shocked and angry, this was a public place, although they were standing in the corner, with their backs to the wall, no one should be able to see them, but it was also humiliating.
But before she could get angry, Sean slapped it again, and it was louder than just now, and it was a shame that the hall was full of sound at this moment, and the sound of the blow sounded loud, but it didn't travel very far, so no one heard it except for the two parties.
Nicole's body immediately trembled, and her face flashed crimson, looking angry and annoyed.
"Bastard, you give me ......," she said through gritted teeth, but as before, as soon as the words fell, Sean's third blow had already fallen, making her involuntarily snort in pain and take a small half step forward.
This time, Nicole didn't say anything more, just bit her lip and looked at him resentfully, with grievances and watery eyes.
"Alright, it's time for me to leave," Sean squeezed his hand leisurely, "lest anyone look at me unpleasantly." ”
He first took two steps forward, then thought of something and retreated, leaned closer to her, and asked with a smile, "By the way, what did you just say?" No matter what you do, I'm not satisfied? ”
Seeing that Nicole was a little discolored, he laughed and left, this kind of woman who seems to really refuse, but wishes you to touch her, does give people a different kind of stimulation.
Since that night the relationship between the two was distorted, Sean has beaten Nicole like this many times, and he has already mastered the trick. What kind of posture to go down from what angle, how much strength can make her get the most stimulation, and there are several sensitive points on the butt that are well understood.
Nicole will resist at first, but as Sean gets acquainted with it, her resistance becomes weaker and weaker, and in the end it is more like pretending.
Especially a few days ago, just after Thanksgiving, Weinstein wanted to find Nicole and Sean to join forces to further build momentum for the movie, but Nike refused on the grounds that it was too much. So Sean went to the door and pressed her on the table and beat her so hard that Nicole was splashing all over the ground and her whole body was about to soften into mud. Although she always looked at him with hateful eyes, the previous struggle was like luring him to continue.
It seems that some things are addictive, whether it's Nicole or Sean.
She doesn't have mildly masochistic tendencies, does she? Sean, who had been reluctant to do so, suddenly had such an idea.
Who knows, this kind of thing, but what is certain is that Nicole should be full of longing in her bones, otherwise how would she let him in three or four times.
"It's such a strange relationship." Sean could only shake his head and smile bitterly, and then put it in the back of his head for the time being, anyway...... Are there still fewer women who have a complicated relationship with him now? If you have too much debt, you won't have to worry about it.
As the crowd began to walk into the screening room, Sean, who had relaxed for a while, began to think about the meaning of the words Weinstein had asked him.
It's a pity, as before, I still can't think of what the meaning of his words contains, is it just a casual mention? Or is there really some plan?
Actually, Weinstein didn't say anything, just asked Sean about his recent plans and what plans his production company had, and finally asked how their theater connection was.
Nothing else, but the last sentence inevitably makes people think about it a lot, you must know that in the past two years, the movies of Samsara Pictures have basically been distributed by them, and they have basically made money.
However, now that Samsara Pictures itself has begun to get involved in distribution, and the first film it released, "Lost in Translation", has also made money, so it is very likely that they will become rivals in the future.
After all, it's all too easy to circumvent the law that can't both produce and distribute, and in Hollywood's current situation, the big studios are firmly in control of the upstream chain, and the second-tier production companies below are naturally more competitive.
But it's hard to say, maybe Weinstein wants to seek a union or not, I heard that they and the parent company Disney have had some unpleasant quarrels in the past two years, and Samsara Pictures still has some potential.
In the end, Sean can't judge, after all, he is not a talent in this area, it would be better if he could remember some relevant clips, but ...... Therefore, after two consecutive guesses that could not be understood, Sean also gave up the in-depth investigation, intending to leave this to Vladimir.
Entering the screening hall and sitting in his place, the movie soon began, as soon as it came up, it was a war scene, the scene was quite atmospheric, and then interspersed with a little fragment of memories, cruel and a little warm.
Sean's Inman was very eye-catching in his first appearance, relying on makeup and personal acting skills, is he indeed like Roger? It's easy to ignore his age, as Albert says.
You must know that when his close-up appeared on the screen, it took Sean two or three seconds to react, which of course has the factor of that beard, but acting skills are also one of the reasons, which makes him a little proud.
However, after Inman was injured and there were no war scenes that could stimulate the audience, the plot began to be tepid. Ada's recent situation, Inman in the wounded barracks, and the feelings of the two before the start of the war, although they are all necessary, are also as tasteless as boiled water.
This problem is very serious, even more serious than making people drowsy, and the latter at least means that the movie is a bad movie, and the audience can get up and pat their butts and leave. But like this, it is a must-have plot, but there is no **** all the time, it will only make people patiently watch it and then feel uncomfortable.
In short, just like Cao Cao's chicken ribs in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" I watched in my previous life, it is tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it.
No matter how good the acting skills are, if they are dragged by this kind of plot, they will become mediocre. Moreover, Sean is a little better, he likes to discover the small movements of the character, which can give people a little freshness, on the other hand, Nicole, always gives people a feeling of being constrained, and they can't let go.
Fortunately, Hoffman's appearance has somewhat alleviated this somewhat bad situation, especially the encounter between the Southern Army and the Northern Army, which shocked the audience's spirits.
It's a pity that this situation is just a flash in the pan, after this episode, the already unhappy plot slows down again, so to speak, **** just got up, and it was pressed again.
However, in this episode, Rachel's performance is bright, and it is hard to imagine that the female archaeologist who is quite temperamental in "Tomb Robbery" will become such a dirty, coarse, and even a little inarticulate, a peasant girl in the southern United States. Coupled with the comparison with Nicole who can't let go of the side, Rachel's performance is even more eye-catching, Sean once heard that when she was on the stage, when someone asked who it was, she made a surprised sound after getting the answer.
But this is also similar to Hoffman's appearance, which can only be tinkered with in the corners, but cannot improve the level of the whole film.
Then, in this dreary atmosphere, the movie finally wins an unexpected plot.
Of course, the initial development was still expected, the male protagonist knocked on the door of the supporting actress's lonely house on a rainy night, and after a conflict, the supporting actress who discussed left the male protagonist and let him stay in the utility room. Later, in the middle of the night, she knocked on the door of the utility room in her pajamas and led him into the bedroom, just when people thought something might happen to them, the male protagonist only comforted the supporting actress.
Okay, this is a bit unexpected, but it's not completely unexpected, after all, the actor was infatuated with a piece of foreshadowing, and when he met **** with the supporting actor on the road, the other party took off his clothes, and he was still indifferent, so this accident is nothing.
Next, as arranged in all movies, the separated soldiers of the Northern Army came to the door viciously, the male protagonist secretly left, the supporting actress was caught, and he was about to be insulted when his newborn child was threatened, and the male protagonist who couldn't stand it secretly returned and killed the three Northern Army soldiers one by one.
After that, compared to ordinary movies, there is finally a completely unexpected plot here.
