Chapter 209: New Roman Holiday
During the welcome ceremony, Princess Anne, played by Audrey, kicked off her shoes and hooked the shoes that fell in front of her with her feet.
In the bedroom, Audrey is frustrated and frustrated, but playfully prepares for a midnight escape because the princess does not allow the princess to visit the streets of Rome.
No one would be better suited for the role of Princess Anne than Hepburn. Her sweet and pure smile, playful personality, and simple and fresh outfit are simply real things that came out of the movie.
In another period of history, William Wheeler made a light comedy romance film for the first time, and he actually had some flaws in the control of the atmosphere.
Otherwise, it would not have made such a classic romance movie as sensational as Titanic win ten nominations.
In the end, she only won three awards: Best Actress, Best Screenplay, and Best Costume Design.
Gregory Peck's acting skills have been criticized by professionals, acting like Gary Grant in the feature film, and now acting in comedy is also imitating Gary Grant, but he has a bitter look, which is simply the biggest failure of the whole film.
Therefore, he, the leading actor, did not even get a nomination.
Billy Wilder's serious films and satirical films have the achievements of world-class classics such as "Sunset Boulevard" and "The Diary of Anne Frank".
Although it is not necessarily better than William Wheeler, because William Wheeler can be called a generation of masters, just one "Ben Hur" is enough to make everyone worship, and he also won the Oscar for Best Picture three times, sending twelve stars to the Oscar throne.
But his genius in comedy far surpassed that of William Wheeler.
Although there is no recording of this Roman Holiday, only clips, Zhou Nan only needs to compare the shots that have been shot with the original movie shots to know that this movie is more classic than the original "Roman Holiday".
Another major reason for this is that the original Audrey was just performing in her true colors. But now, she still has good acting skills, and in terms of details, she handles it better than the original movie.
Gary Grant is arguably one of Hollywood's finest actors today, and his role as journalist Bradley is a lightweight. The process of purifying a reporter who was originally lustful for profit because of the purity of the princess is vividly expressed, and it is very layered.
Especially the chemistry between him and Audrey, although there are no intimate shots, it makes Zhou Nan a little jealous.
After watching these finished shots, Zhou Nan began to recall the plot of the movie he had watched.
Now the investment of this film has been twice as much as in another life, and in terms of setting and layout, it is much grander than the original movie scene.
For example, in this movie, Princess Anne lives in the famous Quirinal Palace in Rome, which is now the Italian presidential palace.
Billy Wilder has a good grasp of the film's style.
The princess appeared solemnly and solemnly, the scene was grand, and the reporter chased her. Then the camera transitioned to the playfulness and cuteness of the princess, pure and cute, and became much more relaxed.
Although the film has not yet been filmed, the beginning and end of the film, where the palace needs to be used, have already been filmed.
The princess finally faced the reporters, confronted Bradley with regret and sorrow, and said in a depressed voice that such a scene of Rome had been filmed.
With only the shots that have been shot, the performances of the characters are also stronger, even the supporting roles are also vivid, and the style is impeccable.
And what makes this movie even better than the other is the costume design, all of Audrey's clothes are provided by Hepburn Fashion, Dior's princess dress, Givenchy's casual clothes, and journalist Bradley's clothing are also used in men's clothing provided by the Balmain brand.
Then, of course, the car driven by the hero and heroine turned into the Beetle convertible, which was the first convertible launched by the Beetle. Although it also required manual canopy pulling, and the procedure was cumbersome, once it was put on the market, it was very popular, and the orders received so far even exceeded the original.
And the motorcycle, of course, is a scooter offered by Ferrari, which is much more beautiful and elegant than the original Wasp.
Since it is better than the original in all aspects, Zhou Nan certainly hopes that this movie can become a phenomenal movie like Gone with the Wind.
"The Diary of Anne Frank" has a limited market because it is a reality film, and although the Jews have tried their best to promote it, the film has only grossed more than $20 million so far.
Because of the profundity of this movie, those who like it are fascinated, and those who don't like it can't watch it, and they feel that it is too cruel.
And "Roman Holiday" is different, this movie can be said to be suitable for all ages, men and women, and the original version has received 17 million box office worldwide.
Today's investment is bigger, the plot is tighter, the acting is more exquisite, and the style is more in line with the trend.
Coupled with the strong promotion of two film companies, and the fact that Zhou Nan, a world-class leader who once won a little golden man, is in charge again, his expectations are even higher.
"Jonas, how do you feel? Is there anything you feel is lacking? ”
"Pretty good. However, there is no editing and dubbing, and I don't have much guidance as a layman. I'll give my opinion when the film is edited. ”
Billy Wilder looked at Zhou Nan, and the appearance of wanting to speak made Zhou Nan guess what he wanted to say. Zhou Nan turned his head and said to Audrey: "Honey, there's nothing wrong with me here, you can resume filming quickly." The Italians are probably having a big headache for us now, and the film was finished early, and we left sooner. ”
After a few days of adaptation, Zhou Nan didn't go out at all, which made Audrey no longer worry too much.
She is the heroine of the movie, and although everyone is accommodating her, the crew can't stop filming endlessly. Therefore, hearing Zhou Nan persuade her to continue filming, she nodded, but also explained: "When I am not there, you are not allowed to go out." ”
Zhou Nan couldn't help laughing, and laughed with Billy Wilder: "Being restrained like this by his wife can be regarded as a happy distress!" ”
He also laughed and said, "Of course, I am extremely envious." ”
The crew started filming again, although Zhou Nan didn't go to the scene, but every day he came back and heard Audrey tell him about what happened on the set, and seeing the footage they shot, Zhou Nan also knew their filming progress.
During his time in Rome, Zhou Nan also received an unexpected guest.
Princess Eliza took her children to the British Naval Base in Malta to visit Philip, who was in service, and the family of three came to visit Zhou Nan on behalf of George and expressed their condolences to Zhou Nan.
Although it is not Marita, the media also linked the content of Roman Holiday to Eliza's identity, believing that Eliza is the prototype of Princess Anne.
Although the filming of Roman Holiday has not yet been completed, the film has been completely hyped.
I just don't know, what Marita will think in her heart when she knows the news.
