Chapter 239: Jealousy (There is a movie review)
Of course, the coveting of the 1995 North American box office champion of the year only existed in Jodie Foster's heart.
But in another part of Los Angeles, because of the excellent box office performance of "Guillotine Valley", a man angrily broke the vase.
"That character was supposed to be mine!!"
Looking at the vase fragments on the ground, Brad Pitt was a little speechless.
He didn't know Gwyneth Paltrow had such a bad temper!
"Don't get excited, Gwen. ”
Pete, who is still a good boyfriend, tries to comfort his girlfriend,
"Charlize Theron, although he has gained a lot of popularity because of the character of Katrina, is a commercial character after all. For actresses, acting awards are the foundation of staying evergreen. ”
"Really?"
Gwyneth looked at her boyfriend with a sneer,
"How do these words look like words coming out of Harvey Weinstein's mouth!?"
"Weinstein ......"
Hearing the name, an unspeakable resentment rose in Pete's heart
At the beginning of the year, Gwyneth cried to him that Harvey Weinstein of Miramax Films had auditioned for the movie "Emma" and made some non-scoring requests in private.
At that time, Pete was furious and immediately pulled his girlfriend to Weinstein to ask for an explanation.
However, when faced with this fat man who is calling the wind and rain in the independent film circle, Pete doesn't know what to say.
Really punch the other party all at once?
Although Pete's temper is short-tempered, he still knows that the heavy-handed Weinstein has a lot of influence on the Oscars, and offending him is not good for his own road to the award.
But let him let it go like this, and he was unwilling.
In the end, in the face of Harvey Wayne Steinpi's smiling expression, Pete said a few words of intimidation and reluctantly left.
However, after a while, Gwyneth got the role of "Miss Emma" again......
Pete was very embarrassed about this matter for a while, but Gwyneth never said anything more, and he didn't want to ask, so he could only hope that the matter would fade away.
But now, it seems that Gwyneth has not forgotten about it.
Is she deliberately using that Weinstein bastard to provoke me!?
Pete was holding back a wave of anger in his heart, but he couldn't say anything in the face of his hurt girlfriend. In the end, we can only talk about the facts
"Gwen, the film "Guillotine Valley" can only increase some popularity for actresses at most. And this is not a problem for you who are on the rise. ”
And the original scheduled actor for Katrina's role was Winona Ryder, not you.
Of course, with Pete's EQ and IQ, he is not stupid enough to say this.
Just like he wouldn't say, he felt that Gwyneth couldn't actually play the role of Katrina.
At least he can't play the unique charm of Charlize Theron.
It was a more wild and mysterious feeling that was different from the classical temperament that Gwyneth was good at.
Pete felt that the word "witch" was indeed appropriate.
And what makes Pete even more strange is that he has also worked with Charlize Theron in "Twelve Monkeys" before, and he doesn't remember that the other party has this kind of temperament!
If I had to describe it, Pete felt that the word "frigidity" was the most suitable for this strange woman.
After all, Pete had flirted with each other a few times, but this strange woman didn't react at all, and even deliberately pushed the male protagonist Bruce Willis to his side......
Isn't that frigidity!?
Anyway, Pete doesn't doubt that he is not attractive enough.
"Could it be that under the lens of a male director, his muse will be particularly beautiful?"
So far, Pete can only guess so.
Pete didn't know that the reason why Gwyneth was angry was also here
As an actress who values awards more, Gwyneth is depressed but not resentful of failing to win the role of Katrina in "Guillotine Valley".
After all, in her opinion at the time, the director would be so stupid as to choose his own bed partner rather than choose an actor who fits the role, that is, Gwyneth herself, then the project has no future.
She doesn't need to be mad about a film project with no future.
Even if she used to feel that the heroine of this project was a perfect fit for her.
Now, however, reality has slapped Gwyneth in the face
After its release on Halloween night, "Guillotine Valley" did well at the box office and had a very good reputation.
And for the heroes and heroines, Ikabu Karan and Katrina Fantaso, the audience likes them very much.
Especially Katrina, with that slightly mysterious temperament, is a rare man and woman to eat. This also led to the rise in popularity of Charlize Theron, who played her.
In other words, Charlotte Booth's judgment was correct at the beginning, and Charlize Theron was really more suitable for the role than Gwyneth.
The frustration that this kind of skill is inferior to people, and even the feminine charm is not as good as people, is the essential reason why Gwyneth is angry now.
Of course, the film was very good critics, and it was also a factor that made Gwyneth feel depressed
"This is a commercial blockbuster with both technical special effects and plot style, although the dark style may not be friendly to some audiences, Charlize Theron's Katrina as a ray of sunshine, but dispels the faint haze, people can quietly enjoy this visually outstanding, impactful film surrounded by a sense of safe fear......"
This is the comment of film critic Richard Manson.
The film critic has always liked to comment on the acting skills of the actors. After watching "Guillotine Valley", he praised Charlize Theron's acting skills, saying that she broke through her previous image.
Of course, Gwyneth thought this was pure nonsense. In her opinion, the character of Katrina is essentially just an oversized vase.
"Will you tout so hard, can it be said that this Richard Manson has taken any benefit?"
Gwyneth thought maliciously in her heart.
However, in the face of another film review from the well-known film critic Kenneth Turan, she had nothing to say
"As a commercial film, the plot of "Guillotine Valley" is actually relatively complex. Obviously it was a fantasy movie, but I actually saw the feeling of "Murder on the Orient Express". Agatha is on top, and I believe this is by no means a delusion on my part......"
Later, the film critic, who likes commercial films, explained the plot of the movie at length, and finally praised the director and heroine,
"It should be said that Charlotte Booth's character design for Katrina played by Charlize Theron is very much in line with the needs of the plot"
"Because she learned witchcraft from an early age, as a hidden witch, her temperament should not be like that of a simple noble lady;"
"She is mysterious, innocent and a little wild, and this not only makes her stand out from the crowd and dazzling, but also makes her really suspicious in the face of the suspicion of the male protagonist Iqabkaran;"
"It's important for a film with an element of reasoning"
"If the clues of suspicion are all directed at the heroine, but because the heroine's temperament is too well-behaved, people do not doubt her will, then it is actually a failure as a reasoning movie. ”
"And the character of Katrina avoided this failure!"
No, you're thinking too much, that bitch is just showing off from start to finish!
Gwyneth thought to herself.
However, there was nothing she could do to change Kenneth Turan's mind.
Just like she can't change Roger Albert's evaluation of "Guillotine Valley" with two thumbs up
