Chapter 298: Shooting
After the kiss scene before the expedition, at Sean's suggestion, Minghella came up with a special way to make Nicole wear a women's wide-brimmed hat that was unique to that era. In this way, as long as the camera is moved and part of the lens is framed from behind the hat, the specific situation of the two will not be seen, and in the later stage, as soon as it is cut, Sean and they only need to touch their lips together and occasionally move it twice.
So, these scenes are done, as for whether the two are performing or really kissing, no one knows, but the atmosphere of the crew has become a little different.
Anyway, Sean and Nicole found a room together that day for a private chat, and many people also saw it in their eyes, and then Sean came out with a strange look, which was also in his eyes, to say that nothing happened to the two, I'm afraid it's hard to believe. Therefore, after this scene, some gossip-minded people even made a private bet on when Sean would get Nicole to sleep.
Well, Sean did get a woman into bed, the woman in the crew, but definitely not Nicole.
"So, in your eyes, I'm just the kind of woman with a bookish temperament?" A lazy voice came to mind from the bed, the beautiful carcass was lying on its side, not caring at all about the quilt that had slid to the base of her thighs, and her beautiful eyes looked at the man who was getting dressed without blinking.
"You have to admit that the character of Evelyn is a perfect fit for you." Sean smiled, "And it's quite charming." ”
Then, he changed his words: "But this is not to say that you can't play the role of Ruby, in fact, it is precisely because you were too dazzling and beautiful in the previous "Tomb Robbery" that Ruby can show your acting skills better in this role, and I believe that after the movie is released, people will only praise you." ”
Rachel in bed? Vichy laughed, then sat up slowly: "You know, Sean, you are a very good lover, and a good one-night stand. ”
“xiexie。” Shaun, who was already dressed haode, shrugged his shoulders, then sat on the edge of the bed and leaned over, "So, how about kissing me goodbye?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Rachel wrapped his arms around him and kissed Sean on his own initiative, and then their lips and tongues were entangled until their desires were almost provoked again.
"Enough of the madness last night, so be it." Rachel said breathlessly as he pushed him away.
"Well, I do have something." Sean is a little reluctant, this bookish woman, the sound of calling the bed is very ecstatic.
However, no matter how long the one-night stand is, it will be over, not to mention that last night was quite enjoyable with Rachel, so he still stood up and prepared to leave.
"By the way, Sean," Rachel stopped him suddenly, then smiled slyly, "Tell me before you leave, what is your relationship with Nicole?" ”
Sean rolled his eyes and walked away, a question that had been bothering him for a long time. To be honest, he didn't expect that at that time, he would actually do that when he was angry, and it was very natural, and after he reacted, it was impossible to make up for it, so he had to leave first.
Rao is like this, and after coming out, Sanders asked, "You and Nicole have nothing to do, right?" ”
Although he was using a question sentence, the tone sounded like affirmation, and Sean could only spread his hands: "What can I do?" Don't forget, she's Nami's best friend. ”
Sanders didn't speak again, and there were some things that didn't need to be said much, because it was useless to say too much, but the expression of the raised eyebrows was obviously a warning to Sean: It's good if you know.
Well, that's really a problem, a real problem. To say that you don't have feelings for Nicole, it's impossible, it's enchanting when it's supposed to be enchanting, it's simple when it's supposed to be simple, with Sean's temperament, it's impossible not to be tempted. But she is also Naomi's best friend, no matter what happened between them before, but it is a fact that Nicole recommended Naomi to be the heroine of the American version of "Midnight Bell" after she became famous with "Mulholland Drive".
Therefore, no matter what, it is impossible for him to have a substantive relationship with the other party.
But for various reasons, there are some crosses in many places, not to mention the real kiss before, so under the itch, he took the opportunity to go back to Los Angeles with Rachel to get this temperament beauty done.
Rachel had to go back to Los Angeles to rest because he had no role for the time being, and Sean also asked the crew for temporary leave because of his own affairs, so he invited her to take a private jet he rented to go with him. The two had spoken several times before and had eaten together a few times, but each time Rachel rejected his suggestion until this time.
They talked about English literature, classical music, stage plays, from the plane to Rachel's boudoir, and talked with great interest, accompanied by a candlelit dinner and haode wine booked at home, so they rolled in bed for the night.
Of course, they both know that this is just a one-night stand after the feeling comes, with no commitment and no nostalgia.
After coming out of Rachel's house, Sean rushed back to his home, and then prepared for the afternoon's events, Sanders didn't say anything, whether as an assistant or as a friend, he had already reminded many times that what to do was Sean's business.
A little later, Sean took a car to the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, where a charity auction was being held on the fourth floor, and many of the people who participated were well-known, in addition to big-name stars, people from major film companies, and many celebrities.
Fox is willing to spend a lot. Sean had attended such a party many times, but at this moment he had to look at the lively and crowded gorgeous hall that had not yet begun, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. But then again, isn't it the usual modus operandi of these big studios to seize this opportunity to hype?
"Frankly, Sean, we should thank you." David? Zach walked over at this time, followed by Joe? Schumacher, "If it weren't for your advice, it's hard to say what would have turned out this time. ”
"yes, without you, I'm afraid there will be some trouble this time." Schumacher also nodded.
"I only did what I was supposed to do." Sean said with a smile and humility, and then noticed the look of regret on the director's face.
Regrets? Of course, but I've already said it, it's your choice not to let the sniper get shot by the police.
Here's the thing, when the time entered October and Sean was still filming "Cold Mountain" in Canada, there were several sensational shootings in Maryland and Washington, D.C., from October 2 to around October 20. Someone with a rifle killed people everywhere between Maryland and Washington without a purpose, and 10 people were killed and 2 injured in more than half a month.
For a while, people in Washington, D.C., who had to go out to refuel at the gas station, were careful every time they went out to refuel, and even the children began to be trained to lie down and cover.
After wasting a lot of taxpayers' money, the two criminals were arrested, and the media coverage came to an end for the time being. But that wasn't the end of it, because from the very beginning, the news spread elsewhere, and Sniper Phone Booth was one of those affected.
Who made the content of this movie is that a man was killed by a pervert and forced to play a game of cat and mouse in a phone booth with a sniper rifle, the journalists' associative ability is quite rich, and only a few days after the shooting in Washington broke out, someone contacted this movie, claiming that the criminal went to kill after watching "Sniper Phone Booth", and there are still people who believe it.
There is no way, who let this matter make people panic, but fortunately, Fox came out to put out the fire as soon as possible, and refuted this ridiculous news through the channels and connections in his hands.
This had some effect, and initially there was no evidence from the person who posted the message, but soon there was a discussion in the media about whether films like "Sniper Phone Booth" were encouraging people to commit crimes. This is a commonplace topic, and the relationship between film and television works and crime rates in any country and region is often discussed, and this time is no exception.
"Sniper Phone Booth" is very lucky, because of Sean's original proposal, the producer revised the ending, and did not let the perverted sniper stand on the moral plane to preach in Zuihou and dress himself up as righteous and awe-inspiring, otherwise he would definitely face more verbal criticism now. But "Sniper Phone Booth" is also very unlucky, the producer thinks that if it is completely revised, it may make the entire script readjusted, which is too troublesome, and in the end it just makes the criminals lose their moral height, but escape from the police, which leads to the fact that it is now impossible to get rid of the shooting in Washington.
If it is completely modified according to Sean's opinion, then after the shooting, the producer can make a strong response, and the real criminal Weishenme kills people everywhere, which has nothing to do with the movie. It's a pity that they are lazy, or they don't want to be led by Sean's nose, and no one expected this kind of thing to happen, which is really surprising.
Interestingly, it has been in theaters for 12 weeks, relying on Sean's gathering of popularity, as well as the special highlights of the movie, "Sniper Phone Booth" has won more than 60 million box office in North America. Originally, this kind of thing was about to go offline, and "Sniper Phone Booth", which was only screened by more than 100 theaters, should have been taken down directly, but not only was it not taken down, but it rose a little anyway!
Well, after all, things are serious and cause panic, but they are basically all around Washington, D.C., and people in other states don't feel the pressure. And the ten people who died before and after did not die at the same time, so the shock is not hit, plus Fox keeps leaving out the relationship between things and movies, which is equivalent to another publicity, so many curious people can't help but want to go into the cinema to find out, which drives the box office up.
And the box office has risen, and the theater chain has naturally increased the number of screenings, so a week later, "Sniper Phone Booth", which was originally reduced to only 150,000 weekend box office, actually won 1 million in three weekends like eating Aiwanke!
