Chapter 252: Titanic (2)
Is Kate Winslet pretty?
This is actually a false proposition.
As early as 1996, America's largest circulation gossip weekly, known as the toilet bible, "People", had already voted her the most beautiful person in the world, and at that time, the only thing she could do was "Sense and Sensibility".
It is true that the publication was related to the amazing return rate of "Sense and Sensibility", the Best Supporting Actress at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards, and the hype marketing, but as a magazine that focuses on mainstream figures, caters to the reading habits of the times, and relies on sales, since it dares to press the title of the most beautiful character in the world on Kate's head, it means one thing:
Her appearance is indeed in line with the public's aesthetics, or in other words, the vast majority of people can feel her beauty.
It sounds like this kind of evaluation is very vulgar, but in fact, for people in the entertainment industry, this is already a typical example of God's appreciation of food - just a face can make the public remember? This means that you will definitely be able to enter the circle and make money!
As for those guys who keep saying, 'looks don't matter, acting skills will last forever'?
And those examples of 'beauty dragging down her performance'?
Isn't that jealousy?
I am jealous of other people's good looks, jealous of others with their own audience popularity, jealous of others who can easily make money, and myself, because I am relatively mediocre, I can only speak with many acting skills that the public can't distinguish at all......
Isn't Katharine Hepburn pretty?
Isn't Betty Davis pretty?
Isn't Audrey Hepburn pretty?
Looking at the list of the greatest actresses of the past century announced by the American Film Institute, which one did not enter the circle with her face? Which one didn't become famous by his face? Which one didn't slap the world with his face?
All guys started with beauty, the public thinks they are beautiful and is willing to go to the theater to support them, and then the capital takes a fancy to their value, so they can receive more film appointments, thus forming a virtuous circle.
As for those with good acting skills?
Sorry, as long as you don't look good, then you never will.
Those who are beautiful can be included in the official history, and those who boast that their skills are at the peak but look average may be famous now, but after that, only your peers will study your past.
Who made your face not look good?
Before "Titanic" met with the public, Kate did have a certain amount of exposure...... Well, that's just nonsense, her face has been talked about countless times by the American public when she hyped up her romance with Roland.
Compared with Reese who Roland cooperated with before, the people of America felt that Kate and Roland were more compatible, but after that, there was no follow-up, after all, they watched Roland grow up step by step, and after liking it for many years, they wanted to make them think 'Roland and so-and-so actress are simply a match made in heaven'?
That's a bit of a fool's dream.
No way, who let Roland either break records or break records in the past eight years? In America, which also has a gateway view, although the people don't say it, they actually have the idea in their hearts that 'no one is worthy of my Roland'.
Kate Beauty is beautiful, but it has never reached the point where beauty alone can erase the gap between the two people's grades.
But now—
A glimpse of it, like a dream.
When Ruth appeared as a noble lady, she was secretly dissing in her heart that the Roland female fan was really a superficial Roland male fan, her eyes widened, her breathing stagnated, and the bruises on her neck burst out.
It was as if there was a pair of fateful hands that grabbed the throat of their mother who wanted to scold their mother-
Her cheeks are full, a girlish green breath, her eyes are bright and pure, and she doesn't seem to be tainted by mortal sins, her skin is delicate and soft, giving people a baby-like immaturity, coupled with a breezy expression, that alienation from the world, even more fluttering, so that people can't find an adjective to describe her state at the moment.
Compared with those passionate and sexy girls, Kate in Roland's lens is holy, and the extravagance of Miss Everyone's eyes with the eyes that do not eat the fireworks of the world marks her beauty with a specific brand.
"She's so beautiful......"
"It's like a ...... painting"
"Mom, I feel like I'm in love......"
"Her name is Kate Winslet, right? What other movies has she starred in? "Sense and Sensibility"? "Angel of Sin"? Hamlet? I'll definitely buy her DVD when I go back! ”
The sound of muttering came from the mouths of those Roland male fans.
Although their reaction was not intense, and there was no strong contrast between the previous DISS psychology and the current greedy thoughts, what they did still did not escape the 'true fragrance theorem' discovered by the world-famous philosopher Wang Jingze.
And just when these guys showed the color of Brother Pig and wanted to worship under Ruth's pomegranate skirt, the female fans of Roland on the side pouted - "The man is really a creature who looks at faces!" Obviously they are all fans of Roland, but after seeing the beauty, they decisively forgot about their idol to the back of their heads? It's a real shame! ’
What's more, you're not CP fans yet! ’
Can't you learn from us? Even if you eat Roland and Kate, then our Roland will also take the initiative, you see...... How handsome he looks like a smoker! Who really deserves him? ’
At the same time that Roland's female fans dislike Roland's male fans in turn, the picture on the screen has come to the plot of Jack playing cards and winning the ferry ticket - in order to reflect the tension of the situation and the cleverness of the male protagonist Jack, a lot of close-ups are used here, regardless of whether it is the vulgar appearance of holding a cigarette, or the sophisticated gambling action, or the cheerful and running posture image, with the blessing of these small details, the street gangster-like character has been presented.
But even so, the bad ruffian's attributes did not affect everyone's viewing rhythm, Roland's male fans only regretted Ruth's disappearance, while Roland's female fans were satisfied with this handsome appearance.
As for the "mythical" version of "Titanic" that they made up in their brains before?
Where is that thing as handsome as Roland?
In the cheerful tune, Jack rushed onto the boat with the wind all the way, and the CGI picture of the Titanic setting sail made people in the circle full of emotion, which shocked Roland male fans, but for female fans who are looking for beauty every moment, standing at the bow of the boat, the sea breeze blows away the hair, the arms are waving, and the guy who cheers goodbye to the strange world is energetic.
However, this is also normal, because Fox has emphasized many times in the announcement that in order to shoot "Titanic", James Cameron really built a ship, so ...... Many female fans who pay attention to Roland News really thought that this was a real shot when they saw the scene of the Titanic riding the wind and waves, and since it was a real shot, the shock brought by CGI was naturally replaced by the idea that the scenery was really beautiful.
When the movie gets to this point, the feature film actually begins.
It took about ten minutes to briefly introduce the relationship between Ruth and her fiancé - with a series of behaviors that constantly criticize Ruth's aesthetics, prevent Ruth from smoking, and want to keep her at home as a canary, the conflict between the three views of the two is presented to the public, especially after the fiancé obstructs her freedom, when Ruth responds to the questions raised by the other party with a perfunctory smirk, the resolute attitude of resistance makes the guests at the scene frown.
With Ruth's departure, the camera suddenly turned, Jack at the bow of the boat was sketching with a sketchpad, the handsome side face was not the point, what really made the guests feel a lot of emotion was Jack's love at first sight when he looked at the upper class lookout area.
Next, of course, Ruth wants to escape from the canary life and commit suicide by jumping into the sea, but is saved by Jack, who already has thoughts about her! Immediately afterwards, the second male took Ruth back and sent out the Ocean Star to show his love!
In the face of her fiancé's money offensive, Ruth fell into confusion, but as soon as the camera turned, she thanked Jack for saving her life in the splint rest area of the upper class.
So, in the face of Jack's invitation, Ruth, who was already indifferent to the hypocritical upper class, chose to go to the lower class to indulge.
After learning about this, Ruth's fiancé was furious, and Ruth's mother also told her that our family has no money, and if you still want to live such a rich life, you have to marry out step by step.
Ruth, who was kidnapped by her family, was like a walking corpse, and when Jack was looking for herself, she painfully rejected the other party......
Seeing this, Roland's fans are fully in the groove.
Regardless of whether they are male or female fans, they are all attracted to the twists and turns of Jack and Ruth's love.
But......
The invited guests finally couldn't help it, and Robert De Niro moved his ass and muttered sideways, "Is James cheating on money?" Isn't this the traditional romance movie routine? ”
"Even if you add CGI and shipbuilding, it won't cost 200 million, right?"
"I don't think I need 200 million." Harrison Ford also agreed and muttered, "If it's this kind of routine creation, then let Roland act in a romance movie in any background, it can be a big hit, why build a boat out?" ”
"But once they built the ship, they were already invulnerable...... "Jack Nicholson's view is not the same as the two, "Shipbuilding is about rendering the details of love, because of the core, they have done it to the extreme." ”
"They didn't go to make money from the beginning, they went to break records, to break the records of "Spider-Man", to break the records of "Jurassic Park", to break all the records that already existed on the market......"
Yes, almost all the guests in the circle have understood the routine of "Titanic".
Because this is the most traditional outline of a love story - a rich girl falls in love with a poor boy.
Ruth, played by Kate, is a socialite in an imaginary society, due to the decline of the family, her mother chose to marry her to a steel tycoon in order to maintain her luxurious life, but Ruth does not like this arranged marriage, she hopes to find freedom like a bird, to find her own love.
Then he fell in love with Jack and had a vigorous love affair with the other party.
Roland plays Jack, a wandering painter with no savings, who has nothing but talent, and one day wins a ticket to the Titanic, and then on the ship, he meets the love of his life.
On the surface, the story is a bashing of the hypocrisy of high society, of class domination, of secular shackles, of the courage to find freedom, of the courage to pursue one's dreams, of the decision to equal rights for men and women, but in reality -
Is there any difference between this story and the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl?
To put it more ugly, isn't this a love story routine that has been circulated since ancient times?
Poor literature and rich martial arts is a portrayal of real life, ancient literati and ink writers, rich and poor, but only the poor who make a living with ink treasures, and in this case, in order to make the stories they write better to sell, then they naturally have to make up some stories that the public loves to see! And what is the story that the public loves to watch?
Isn't it just that a rich girl falls in love with a little commoner?
From then on, turn over the serf and sing!
To use an inappropriate analogy, this is actually no different from '30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, don't bully the poor youth'......
They are all created to satisfy the YY hearts of the bottom public.
But as long as these people are served well, won't the money come?
To put it bluntly, the whole movie is actually a shipwreck, telling a story that has been repeated by countless people.
As for why did Jack die?
Because only when he dies for Ruth can he prove that his love for Ruth is not the hormonal impulse of adolescence, and can it be proved that although he is smooth and vulgar on the surface, he still treats his feelings seriously, and these are the things that young girls want to see the most, as long as Jack dies for Ruth, he can trick the young men who are eager to marry Bai Fumei and go to the peak of life into the theater, and can let those young women who come to him get the love they want, if this movie can lose......
Then Cameron can go eat.
No matter what kind of words you use to boast about this movie, to elevate the idea of this movie, it seems so pale and powerless in the face of the eternal commodity sales model of 'doing what you like'.
But the problem is that after watching it for half an hour, even if insiders have seen through James Cameron's creative ideas and are speechless about this traditional narrative technique, they also understand that Cameron uses the best technology in the world, the most handsome actor in the world, the most expensive investment in the world, and the outrageous publicity......
Shouted out the invincible stud!
Just when these invited guests expressed their feelings about James Cameron's crazy behavior, on the screen, Ruth, who refused Jack's elopement proposal, listened to her mother show off the wedding arrangements to other ladies with a blank face during afternoon tea, and in the restaurant, a young girl worked hard to learn the elegance of high society according to her mother's request, and the stupid and cute actions made her see her past self and make a choice......
The camera turned, and the next second, Ruth was at the bow of the boat and found Jack, who was rejected by herself.
With the melodious music playing, Jack also invited Ruth to stand on the railing, when Ruth faced the sunset, facing the sea, and opened her arms, the audience, who were still silently discussing and devoting themselves to the plot, could no longer hold back and exclaimed quietly.
The two intersected their fingers, and after kissing slowly, the sound of sobbing finally came.
"Woooooooooo......oo It's so sweet...... Woowoo...... It's so sweet...... Woowoo...... It's so sweet......"
"Ah......hh It's beautiful...... It's such a beautiful scene......"
Ruth chose Jack anyway...... Oh...... The kiss between the two of them...... It was so touching......"
"It's so romantic! If I were Ruth, I would marry Jack too! ”
"What's this tune? What a time! Jack's action holding Ruth! It's beautiful! ”
However, the emotional sobbing of female fans actually did not last long.
Because a minute later, the camera came to Ruth's room.
Ruth opened the safe, took out the Ocean Star that her fiancé had shown her, and ......
"Jack, I want you to paint a portrait of me, like a French model."
Ruth looked at Jack and said, "I'm going to wear this." ”
"Okay." After getting the Ocean Star, Jack, who had been studying it, instinctively responded.
However, for a second, Ruth emphasized: "Only wear this ......"
Jack was stunned.
Dismantling the comb, moving the sofa, unraveling tools, sharpening pencils......
Next, the audience finally understood how the painting salvaged by the expedition team came to be at the beginning of the film.
"Oh! Was this painting originally painted by Jack for Ruth? ”
"Oh my God! Then this painting is a token of Ruth and Jack's love! ”
"Ruth decided to give everything she had to Jack? Wow! That's pretty cool, isn't it? ”
The female fans, who were still moved and sobbing at Ruth's decision, widened their eyes, while the male fans ......
After seeing the best in the chubby world, their eyes were about to fall off!
And just when they were dizzy by the sudden explosive plot, a long shot on the screen surprised them even more - the picture on the screen first faced Jack's cheek, and while showing concentration, the picture also slowly pulled up, incorporating his entire upper body and everything in charge of the brush into the shot, and then, the direction was also reversed, with Jack's shoulder as the level, the boy holding the pen and the girl acting as a model were all framed in it......
With the boy's movements, the girl's posture jumped on the paper.
After seeing this scene, except for the insiders who had long known that Roland could only paint portraits, the audience at the scene was all stunned - "Oh! Mygod! This picture was drawn by Roland to Kate himself? This and this ......"
"Did Roland and Kate fall in love for the sake of making a movie, or did they fall in love before making a movie?"
"That's pretty cool, isn't it? Looking at the demeanor of the two of them, it seems that they have long been accustomed to all this? ”
