Chapter 502: Pharaoh's Curse

Although it is destined to be hit by "Star Wars Prequel: The Phantom Menace" within three weeks of its release, this will not affect fans' enthusiasm for the movie "The Mummy".

Therefore, the premiere on the evening of May 1 was still very lively.

This time, the premiere in North America was selected by Charlotte to be held at the Night Owl Cinema.

Although Mr. Director himself did not go to the red carpet to join in the fun, the appearance of a group of main creative actors such as Brandon Fisher and Rachel Weisz alone was enough to interest the audience.

What's more, in order to set off the atmosphere, the cinema has also made a lot of decorations inside, and even made the entrance of the screening hall directly in the style of a pyramid entrance.

This makes a lot of people find it very interesting.

Everyone was lively for a while, and finally walked into the screening hall before the premiere began.

Downey sat down in his seat and yawned habitually.

This is a physiological phenomenon produced by his recent withdrawal reaction, and Downey himself is also very tired of it, but there is nothing he can do about it.

Who let him die like that!?

"I just hope this movie doesn't make me sleepy!"

Donnie secretly looked forward to it.

It's not that he underestimates Charlotte's level as a director, it's just that as a practitioner in the film industry, Downey feels well-informed-

He thinks that no matter how well a commercial film is made in the conventional sense, it may be difficult for him to be too interested.

After all, in Hollywood's commercial blockbusters, the development of the general plot story is very stylized - this is out of commercial necessity.

And this kind of plot, even if the director grasps the rhythm well, in the eyes of a veteran actor like Donnie, there is actually nothing new.

- This is the same reason that some senior chefs often don't like to eat their own dishes.

Of course, there are respectable people in this world who "do one line and love one line", but there are more people who feel tired after working for a long time and "hate what they do".

Although Downey is not to that extent, his favorability is actually very average for general commercial movies.

- You know, this one was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor because of the biographical film "Chaplin".

Of course, for the movies of Charlotte Booth, which are now hot and famous in Hollywood, Donnie still dare not underestimate them.

What's more, if he is not unlucky, he may have to earn a living under Charlotte Booth for the next year or so.

In this case, Donnie at least needs to understand the direction style of the future boss.

It's just—

Downey, who is still trying to quit and has an addiction from time to time, couldn't help but yawn.

Then, the movie begins -

"Is this what people were like in ancient Egypt?"

Looking at the images of the ancient Egyptian era that appeared on the big screen, Gianna was not only happy to see the hunt.

It should be said that no matter where people are, they actually like exotic customs.

After all, it's fresh!

Especially the pharaoh's favorite concubine, Ansuna, who had an affair with the high priest Immorton, had a charming appearance, which made the more trendy Gianna like it very much.

She had even begun to consider cossing the pharaoh's favorite concubine at the masquerade ball at Stanford.

As for Ansuna's outfit, in addition to the various gold ornaments on her body, it is actually only a little better than the fruit body, and Gianna doesn't care.

- No way, although Emily's personality has completely collapsed, from a blue pool face to a silly white sweet, but in ordinary life, Gianna is a bold woman after all.

Especially on occasions such as masquerade balls, where everyone plays relatively high, Gianna feels that this kind of dress is actually completely fine.

- To some extent, it will be more convenient for some later things.

At present, the premise is to meet the object that Gianna can see.

In contrast, Emily, who watched "The Mummy" with her, was much purer in heart.

This Charlotte fan simply appreciated the plot -

After all, the high priest had an affair with the pharaoh's favorite concubine, and after being found out by the pharaoh, it was really fun to simply kill the pharaoh.

In particular, real history is much more exaggerated than that.

Not to mention anything else, in "Braveheart" released a few years ago, the princess Isabella from France played by Sophie Marceau is based on the famous "French she-wolf" in British history-

Although she majored in accounting, Emily, who was interested in history unlike most Americans, knew how ruthless that "French she-wolf" really was.

Not to mention anything else, the former French princess and later the queen of England once held power for a period of time in British history.

At that time, in order to take revenge on her gay husband who married her as an ornament, she directly asked someone to poke a red-hot iron chisel into the part that her husband used to "enjoy......

There are actually many kings and emperors who have been killed in history, but they have been killed like this......

Anyway, even if Emily is a woman, she feels pain.

In contrast, the story of the murder of the pharaoh by the high priest Immorton and his lover Ansuna in the movie is very small.

Of course, the murder of the pharaoh is not a trivial matter after all-

After being discovered, Ansuna was forced to commit suicide.

And although the high priest Immorton stole into the city of the dead Hamnath and wanted to resurrect his lover with the Black Book of the Dead, he was finally stopped by Pharaoh's guards.

He was put to death, sealed alive in a sarcophagus filled with man-eating scarabs, and endured the torture of insect devouring for eternity.

However, because this criminal law is too cruel, and Immorton has the power of mana as a high priest, he has become a monster, and once released, it will be a disaster for the world......

"So, this High Priestess Immorton is the ultimate boss in this movie?"

Seeing this, the movie title of "The Mummy" appeared on the big screen, and Downey easily understood the content of the plot at the beginning,

"This narrative is clean and neat, the rhythm is very good, and it is indeed the handiwork of a great director. ”

Donnie muttered to himself,

"However, if you look at it this way, in the directing style of director Charlotte Booth, the commercial flavor is really obvious! I wonder if I can adapt to it!?"

Speaking of which, Downey has been a literary and artistic young persona so far—even the same is true of drugs.

He was skeptical that he would fit into the style of a purely commercial director like Charlotte Booth.

However, movies on the big screen don't stop because of Donnie's self-doubt-

The vicissitudes of thousands of years have passed in an instant, and it has come to 1923.

And in the storage room behind the big screen, Charlotte also opened her eyes......
