Martin Brest and Brigman stayed by their side for a while before leaving.

The movie lasts for an hour and a half, and when Zhou Yan is watching it, he will definitely pause constantly, and it will take at least half a day just to watch it once, of course they can't stay with him all the time.

I have to say that Martin Brest is indeed experienced, although the shooting at the beginning borrows from the original version taken by Zhou Yan, but there are many places where the use of light and shadow is more skillful.

And with the same scene and the same plot, his shooting style is different from Zhou Yan's.

Take the heroine as an example, under Zhou Yan's lens, Wang Zuxian reveals the gentleness and tenderness of an oriental woman everywhere, and her movements, light and shadow are very subtle.

But underneath Martin's lens, Catherine is more direct.

Kevin Costner's performance also made Zhou Yan's eyes shine, he is a very introductive actor, there are no exaggerated and prominent movements when performing, more are expressed with his eyes, which is very in line with the setting of the male lead.

Obviously, the starting point of child stars is very high, but the final development is not satisfactory.

"As far as I know, this is probably the second song you've written for an American singer, right?"

"It's okay, not too tired."

Catherine nodded, "Next time, if I have another chance, I will definitely ask you for it, anyway, I have already bought a ticket this time." ”

"Of course I'm very happy that this song has achieved such a good result, and I'm very glad that I gave this song to Maria, who is a very good singer."

"The director of the remake of "The Sixth Sense" is Martin Brest, what do you think is the difference between his version and the original?"

"Okay, okay, I'll not bother you."

In fact, if Haley can work steadily and continue to polish his acting skills, although his appearance is not good, he will definitely have no problem acting, after all, actors don't necessarily have to be good-looking, and there are many roles to play.

Zhou Yan put down his pen and rubbed his eyes, "Where to eat?" ”

It's just that this kid didn't look outstanding later, and he was relatively short, so it was not easy to develop in the entertainment industry.

As Linda said, "Young and Beautiful" was very strong after its release, winning the top spot for ten consecutive weeks, and "Fantasy" was still in hot pursuit, but in the eighth week, it fell behind and lost its second position.

Zhou Yan shook his head and said, "No, I still have a lot of work to do in China during this time, and on the 22nd, there is also a premiere ceremony for "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class", and I will definitely go back." ”

In fact, I came here this time to thank Zhou Yan.

The woman turned her head, and when she saw Zhou Yan, she immediately greeted her, "Mr. Y, hello." ”

Hearing this question, Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes, and he glanced at the sign on the reporter's chest, and the other party was a reporter from "Film Vision".

"I happened to be in Los Angeles for a concert, so I came over to check it out."

Reporter: "You have a high opinion of this movie, can I ask, is it possible for you to cooperate with Hollywood film companies like director An Li in the future?" ”

Because Zhou Yan will perform on stage today, it is necessary to check the process in advance.

"There is an opportunity to eat." Zhou Yan looked at the hall, and there were already people walking inside one after another, "Did you start on time at three twenty?" ”

"There's nothing special, just come and see, in fact, I'm also a fan of yours, and I've heard all of your albums."

After revealing Zhou Yan's identity, Brigman squeezed his eyes at Zhou Yan, "You talk to the reporter for a while, I'll wait for you in the concert hall." ”

Zhou Yan looked at the time, nodded and said, "Okay, then simply eat and come back as soon as you finish eating." As you know, I came here this time, and the itinerary was very rushed. ”

"The movie will be released today, and I think you'll find out for yourselves. When literary works are adapted for film and television, there will inevitably be changes, that's for sure, after all, literature and film are two different art forms. Since art forms are different, there will naturally be differences in the content presented. As for whether these changes are good or bad, I think the audience will definitely have the answer in their hearts. I can only say that from the perspective of movie criticism, "Sense and Sensibility" directed by An Li is definitely a movie worth watching. ”

The reporter looked innocent, "Is there anything wrong with my question?" I just want to ask if there is a geographical difference between Yanjing's director and Taiwan's director, which shouldn't be wrong, right? ”

"Well, there's a show tomorrow. After the premiere, I'm going to go. ”

……

The Columbia premiere was a big one this time, and the Loy Thompson Hall was able to accommodate nearly 3,000 people, and today, in addition to the media, the organizers will invite many lucky onlookers into the concert hall to attend the premiere together.

And Mariah Carey, too, stood with them and chatted.

When Zhou Yan entered the concert hall, Briegman saw that his face was not very good, and thought that he didn't like to deal with reporters, so he smiled and said, "The questions of reporters are indeed endless, but there is no way, we also have to rely on them to publicize." Let's go, take you to An Li and them. ”

"Would you ask if there is a geographical difference between a director in New York and a director in Chicago?"

An Lee and several of the main creative staff are next to the stage, and the protagonist is here except for Alan Rickman, and everyone else has arrived, which is also normal, because except for Alan Rickman, several other people are now developing in Hollywood.

Normally, Linda would not attend the premiere of a movie, but today Mariah Carey is here, and the soundtrack of "Sense and Sensibility" is also very popular, so she is here.

Reporter: "I'm sorry, Mr. Y, I would like to ask one last question, what do you think is different from you before as a director of Taiwan?" ”

"Actually, you don't have to be in such a hurry, when the concert is over, you can ask the rest of the orchestra to go back first and stay for a few more days." Brigman said.

……

"By the way, I almost forgot about it, and your new album is about to be released."

"That ......"

Zhou Yan actually understands Catherine's thoughts, no matter what, it is indeed because of him that Catherine got this role.

"Is it Y-chou?"

With that, Linda also turned around and left.

"You're looking for me? What's the matter? ”

"Okay."

Catherine smiled, "I've seen it before, but I heard that you're here today, so I came here to take a look." ”

At noon, Zhou Yan had just pulled the film halfway through, and Blegman came to look for him.

She was very happy to be able to meet Zhou Yan, but she didn't expect it to be like this.

Hearing that Catherine was his music fan, Zhou Yan naturally thought it was a kind word, and he said with a smile, "Thank you for your support, I watched half of the film, and your performance was very good." ”

Ten weeks later, the popularity of this song has not dropped too much, and it is still in the top few in the past few weeks, that is, it just fell out of the top three last week and reached the fifth position.

During filming, many people on the set were speculating about her relationship with Zhou Yan, and after a long time, she herself felt that she had some kind of connection with Zhou Yan.

But Zhou Yan recommended Catherine at that time, simply because he had just met her and thought she was quite suitable, but he didn't have any other ideas.

"There's a restaurant downstairs."

Then the two went to the restaurant together, ate some fried chicken and sandwiches, and then dealt with lunch, Brigman ate more simply, just toast with a little vegetables and fruits, and no meat.

Zhou Yan: "I believe that "Sense and Sensibility" will definitely be a success, but this is two different things from whether I will cooperate with Hollywood film and television companies. ”

This question was obviously ill-intentioned, Zhou Yan didn't answer him, just smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I'm going to be late." ”

Catherine in reality is still different from in the movie, Catherine in reality feels a little more wild and more beautiful.

"I'm definitely going to support it."

Upstairs, Brigman went back to his office, and Zhou Yan went directly to the screening room.

"We interviewed Maria just now, and she specifically mentioned you and thanked you for writing such a good song as 'Young and Beautiful'. This song has dominated the singles chart for 10 weeks in a row, and it still ranked in the top five last week, do you have anything to share with us about such a good result? ”

"Of course."

Zhou Yan nodded, "That's right, the last song was "Yellow". ”

"Hello Mr. Y, you are also a director yourself, how did you feel when you worked with Director An Lee? Is there any difference between his working style and making your own films? ”

Although it is not a weekend, there are quite a lot of idlers in Toronto, and many bored citizens come to join in the fun when they hear that the premiere of "Sense and Sensibility" is being held here.

After that, he didn't care about these reporters, and walked directly in the direction of the main entrance of the concert hall.

After Zhou Yan left, Linda looked at the reporter of "Movie Vision" angrily, "You shouldn't ask such a question." ”

Seeing the woman's face, Zhou Yan also raised her eyebrows, this is none other than Catherine, the heroine of the American version of "The Sixth Sense".

Catherine did buy all of Zhou Yan's albums and listened to all the music she could find related to Zhou Yan, but that was after she starred in "The Sixth Sense".

Zhou Yan: "I can't answer this question to you, there are other people in charge of distribution." I'm sorry, the premiere is almost going to start and I may need to go in. ”

"It's a pity, otherwise we can have a meal together."

After eating, the two did not rush back, but ordered a drink and sat and chatted.

Although Brigman didn't say it directly, Catherine later knew that she could get this role, which had a lot to do with Zhou Yan.

"It's also possible, so you should pay more attention to the movies that pay attention to my soundtrack, maybe you can be surprised."

In fact, Zhou Yan felt that to eat these things, there was no need to stay in the restaurant to eat, just send them directly to the screening room to eat, and there was no waste of time.

Catherine does not doubt her ability, but she also knows that there is no shortage of actresses in Hollywood who meet the requirements, and without Zhou Yan's recommendation, this role would not have fallen on her head.

He knew that Zhou Yan had a tight schedule recently, so he was concerned.

After Zhou Yan got out of the car, he walked towards the door of the concert hall, he thought he would be able to enter the concert hall smoothly, but he was stopped by a reporter halfway through.

A tall female reporter stopped in front of Zhou Yan in surprise, "Y-chou! ”

The hardware conditions of the actor are very important, even if Hu Ke's acting skills are not good, with his later height and appearance, it is okay to be a traffic niche.

Zhou Yan believes that in a situation like Hailey's, he should not consider continuing to take on the drama after two more years, and should think about completing his studies well, but this needs to be strictly controlled by his parents.

Zhou Yan didn't think too much about Haili's development, but it was all the creation of others, and it had little to do with him.

An Li said with a smile, "It's not easy to come from Los Angeles." ”

"Thanks to your recommendation."

But his starting point is too high, which is a burden for him, and when he finds that he is not tall, and the longer he grows, the worse it looks, the mentality will most likely collapse.

"'Yellow' is also a very popular song, and it has won number one on the singles charts in the UK and Germany, especially in the UK, which has been number one for three months in a row. Both of these songs you wrote have been a huge success, do you have any plans to write more songs in the future? ”

In fact, Catherine originally wanted to invite Zhou Yan to have dinner together, but seeing Zhou Yan's attitude of being in a hurry to work, she was embarrassed to mention it.

"Well, no problem, do you have anything else, if not, I want to get to work."

Reporter: "When will your new movie be released in Canada and the United States?" ”

"It depends on fate, in fact, these two songs were originally just movie soundtracks and advertising songs, and they became songs by chance."

Reporter: "Sense and Sensibility", as a classic masterpiece, will definitely attract the attention of a large number of readers of the original book, has the plot of the movie changed a lot compared with the original plot? ”

"Actually, if you want to hear it, I can give you a few tickets, and you don't need to buy them."

These two male reporters look at the film and television media, so the direction of the questions is completely different from Linda, and they are all related to movies.

I have to admit that this kid's talent is really high, and his acting skills are particularly aura at such a young age, although he is a few years younger than Hu Ke, but when it comes to acting, he is definitely better than Hu Ke.

"I heard that "The Sixth Sense" has been remade, when will the remade version be released?"

"It's hard to eat any big meal in the restaurant downstairs." Brigman laughed.

"It's really you, the organizer didn't notify you that you were coming, I thought you wouldn't come."

Linda was about to say something when two more reporters came next to her.

Zhou Yan: "I never set limits for myself, everything depends on whether the timing is right. But I don't have any ideas about that at the moment, because my own movie is going to be released in the near future, and I don't have the energy to think about anything else. ”

"No problem."

Reporter: "Mr. Y, you should understand what I mean, I'm asking if you will work with Hollywood studios as a director." ”

Zhou Yan joked, "It's not cost-effective for you to buy an album, after all, you have listened to most of the tunes in it." ”

Zhou Yan looked at his watch and saw that there was still some time, so he replied, "Hollywood's shooting method has a rigorous process, and I have learned a lot from it. As for Mr. Brest, he is undoubtedly a master of cinema, but I haven't seen the finished film yet, so I can't answer your question. ”

Zhou Yan nodded and followed Brigman inside.

"Hello, are you coming over to watch the film today?"

Reporter: "If "Sense and Sensibility" is a box office success, will it prompt you to cooperate with Hollywood studios? ”

"Then in order to make this album cost-effective, you must sign my name on it when the time comes."

Several of the songs in the new album "Yulin Bell" are the soundtracks of "Sense and Sensibility", and Briegman has certainly heard it.

"Leaving tonight?"

Zhou Yan drank the coffee in the cup in one gulp, then got up and said, "Let's go, I'm going back to continue working." ”

"Well, it's all a day, and it will be released in the United States when the time comes."

Zhou Yan: "The remake of "The Sixth Sense" is already a very in-depth cooperation. ”

Zhou Yan shook his head, "It doesn't have much to do with me, the director and producer can choose you as the heroine, which must recognize your ability." And I've heard that you are very serious about the role and read the script several times before the audition. It was your efforts that moved the director. ”

Now in this situation, she can only wait for another opportunity to interview Zhou Yan and Mariah Carey.

There is also the performance of the little male protagonist Hailey, the performance level of the little guy is definitely not as good as in two or three years, but it is indeed not bad.

"I'm Linda, a reporter for Billboard, can I ask you a few questions?"

However, she did not continue to thank her, but talked about Zhou Yan's concert, "I bought tickets for all three of your concerts in Los Angeles. ”

"Y, let's have a meal together, and it's not too late to work after dinner."

Brigman next to him smiled, "That's right, he's Y-chou." ”

This kind of problem will be experienced by many child stars.

Zhou Yan and the others arrived at the door of the concert hall at half past two, and at this time, many media reporters and onlookers had gathered at the door.

Obviously, Linda didn't want people to come and compete with her, but they were already here, so she could only smile and say, "Yes, this is Y-chou." ”

Because Linda stopped Zhou Yan and attracted their attention, she ran over.

The next afternoon, Zhou Yan arrived in Toronto with Briegman, and they went directly to Roy Thompson Hall without any rest.

Not better than Bruce Willis, but definitely not bad.

Zhou Yan rolled his eyes, turned his head and smiled at the female reporter again, "Hello, I'm Zhou Yan." ”

Linda smiled, "What do you mean, do you mean that your other soundtrack tracks also have the hope of being changed into songs?" ”

However, when Zhou Yan arrived at the screening room, he saw the back of a woman, who was also watching "The Sixth Sense".

Seeing Zhou Yan coming, everyone greeted him one after another.

"Yes, you're just in time, go and talk to the host about the process."

"Ahem." Zhou Yan coughed lightly.

Before today, the organizers had already released some tickets in advance.

After speaking, without waiting for Zhou Yan to speak, he walked away quickly.

Linda was indeed angry because she still had several questions to ask Zhou Yan, but was mixed up by the reporters of these two film magazines.

The Roy Thompson Hall is the main venue for the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, and in addition to concerts, it also hosts film exhibitions, such as those screened at the Toronto Film Festival last year and this year.

Mariah Carey laughed beside her, "Let's do it together." ”

Zhou Yan nodded, "Okay." ”

Then the two went to the host together to discuss the process. (End of chapter)
