Hollywood Road

On the screen, Hardy's fist was like Thor's hammer full of anger, and it fell heavily on the yellow bastard's ugly head. The yellow juice splashed and dyed Hardy's fist yellow. , stained the gray land, against a black background, it was unusually dazzling.

This contrasting picture color seems to have a special appeal, which made Roger Ebert feel disgusted by the smell of super stink.

"If comics are an extreme display of personal style, then Murphy Stanton's film pushes this personal style to the extreme!"

Roger Ebert made no secret of his appreciation for this film, "Only a director with enough pursuit can make such an extreme film."

These low-level whispers all fell into the ears of Jennifer Mona next to her. She turned her head to look at the famous professional film critic in surprise. Although Roger Ebert is not known for being vitriolic, but It is definitely not an easy task for a film and a director to get his praise.

Listening to what he just said, Roger Ebert did not appreciate this film and the young director Murphy Stanton in general.

However, Jennifer Mona also watched the film from the beginning to the end, except for the very distinctive pictures and the fast and slow motion shots, she really didn't see anything special.

If I had to say yes, it would be that the scale of bloody violence and nudity was so large that she felt a little disgusted.

She has also seen Frank Miller's original comics, the scale is far worse than the film, but the director has specially processed some large-scale shots with pure black-and-white images, which are not directly presented to the audience. The way of half-covering, on the contrary, is more likely to arouse people's fantasy.

Jennifer Mona is not a fledgling reporter, she has been involved with Hollywood for several years. It is not difficult to see that the director has used many ingenious techniques in the film, and the effects brought by these techniques are beyond the reach of comics.

She really wanted to ask Roger Albert what he really thought, but the old man was obviously still immersed in the movie.

"Kara," Jennifer Moner whispered to Kara Firth on the other side, "what do you think?"

Unexpectedly, Kara Firth shook her head directly, "I don't like it, a film that is very unfriendly to women."

Those who have similar thoughts, not only Kara Firth, but also Gal Gadot, sitting next to Murphy, although her eyes are still fixed on the screen, her mind has already gone to other places, she doesn't like this type at all Movies that are violent and bloody come second,

The position of the female characters in it is really unsatisfactory.

Almost all female characters are men's foils, and they are using relatively low-level means such as nudity to attract men's attention...

Until the end of the movie screening, Gal Gadot didn't come back to her senses, and then the applause sounded, her cranky thoughts were interrupted, and her attention returned to the theater.

The applause in the theater was extremely warm, it seemed that this film was really popular.

The crew had already stood up, and Murphy next to him also stood up, but Gal Gadot was not a member of the crew, and hid behind the crowd, sitting still.

Gal Gadot's gaze was fixed on Murphy through the gaps in the crowd. Many people came from the back row, shook hands and hugged him, and congratulated him.

These people had been introduced by the woman named Grace before, and they all sounded like some great big shots.

They all said it was a masterpiece!

"Is it really that good?" Gal Gadot was puzzled, "Maybe these people are just giving a few polite compliments."

With this in mind, she was among the cast and crew, left the theater, went to a nearby hotel, followed Murphy in a daze, and walked into the banquet hall.

Then, she saw more people coming over and congratulating Murphy. The words were similar, but they all thought he had completed a masterpiece!

The lights in the banquet hall were brighter, and Gal Gadot could see it more clearly. The smiles on the faces of those people were not polite, and the content of the speech was similar, but it was not a formulaic entertainment. Instead, it sounded like some sincere words.

"Hi, Murphy." Avi Niwo, whom she was familiar with, came over, greeted Murphy, and immediately turned her eyes to her side, "Gail, I didn't expect to see you here."

Gal Gadot looked at Murphy, then smiled.

Murphy took the initiative and said, "Ivy, Gail accepted my invitation."

Ivy Niwo nodded and said, "Gail is the daughter of an old friend of mine. Murphy, don't bully her."

"How could it be?" Murphy turned to look at Gal Gadot, "Gal and I hit it off right away, and we are very good friends now."

Hearing this, Ivy Niwo looked at Gal Gadot, and Gal Gadot didn't know what he was thinking, not only did not refute, but also nodded slightly.

Avi Niwo looked at Murphy, then turned to look at Gal Gadot, and roughly guessed what was going on.

"Murphy," Ivy Niwo walked to Gal Gadot, "I want to talk to Gal Gadot alone."

"Yeah." Murphy pointed to the big fat man standing in the middle of the banquet hall, "I'll talk to Harvey for a while."

"You..." Ivy Niwo looked at Murphy's back, "What's the matter with you?"

"He's after me," Gal Gadot didn't hide, "Uncle Niwo, it started from the night you threw the party."

Ivy Niwo turned back, "You accepted?"

Gal Gadot shook his head, "No, but I didn't refuse either."

"Here," Avi Niwo took Gal Gadot to a quieter place, "Do you have a crush on him?"

Frowning and thinking for a while, Gal Gadot nodded slightly, "I think he is a very interesting person."

"Gail, when you grow up, you will always meet someone you like, and I won't interfere with you," Avi Niwo obviously cared about her, "There is only one suggestion, if you don't plan to come to the United States to study, or If you stay in the United States, it is best not to easily accept the pursuit of anyone here."

"I..." Gal Gadot hesitated for a moment, her mind seemed less determined than a few days ago, "I understand."

Avi Niwo patted her arm lightly, "You are a smart and mature girl, I believe you will make the most suitable choice."

Having said that, he unconsciously turned his head to look at the center of the banquet hall, where Murphy Stanton, like Harvey Weinstein, also became the focus of the banquet hall.

Frankly speaking, he admires this young director very much, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he likes it. Not only does he do a good enough job as a director, but he is also confident, firm, humble, and mature. Whether it is appearance, talent, or wealth, They are all the best in their age group.

Such a person is indeed qualified to pursue Gal Gadot. What he considers the most is time and distance. Some things don't exist without acknowledging them.

After a few words, Ivy Niwo didn't want to interfere too much, and changed the subject, "Is this the first time to participate in this kind of preview? How do you feel?"

"It's kind of boring." Gal Gadot didn't need to hide from Avi Niwo, "I'm basically distracted."

"This kind of film is not suitable for female audiences," Ivy-Niwo laughed. "It's normal for you to experience the excitement and beauty in it."

"Wonderful and wonderful?" Gal Gadot thought of the congratulators before, "Is this movie really as good as you said?"

"This is the work of a master of violent aesthetics!" Ivy Niwo is not stingy with his praise, "The finished film by Murphy has surpassed the limitations of comics, with extremely stylized images and B-grade The blood and blood of the film and the essence of film noir have made this super cool "Sin City"!"

Gal Gadot looked at Ivy Niwo in a daze. Since he was a teenager, he heard him talk about movies more than once, but there are very few praises like this.

"There's one more thing I like about this film," Ivy Niwo smiled happily. "I'm an investor in "Sin City", and now I can feel that this film will be read by a considerable number of male audiences." Loved, even regarded as an absolute classic by them, and then brought me a lot of money."

He smiled very brightly, as if he had seen a lot of dollar bills fall into his pocket.

"No!" Gal Gadot seemed to remember something, and asked in a very weird tone, "Uncle Niwo, I still remember, when I was a child, I asked you why you invested in movies, and you said it was for art. what."

"This..." Avi Niwo's face was somewhat embarrassed, "art is also part of my pursuit."

Gal Gadot would still believe this kind of words when he was a child, but now he knows that this is just an excuse and cover-up.

"I want to go, Uncle Niwo," she begged, "ask your driver to take me back to the hotel."

Ivy Niwo gestured to the center of the banquet hall with his eyes, "Aren't you waiting for Murphy?"

"What are you waiting for him to do?" Gal Gadot glanced over there without any trace, and Murphy over there seemed to be very busy.

Although she has a crush on him, she doesn't have to make it too obvious.

Just like what Gal Gadot saw, Murphy is very busy. Every media representative and every well-known film critic can't neglect it. Hollywood is far from a circle where you can get everything naturally by making a good movie, especially like him. The support of some media and film critics is very important for this kind of director who not only needs the market, but also wants to make a difference in professional awards.

Especially well-known film critics, if they tout it for themselves, the effect may be better.

In addition to Kenneth Turan and Todd McCarthy, Murphy also met more professional film critics who live and live in Los Angeles under the introduction of Bill Rosses. A work beyond imagination and full of personal style, the following comments will definitely be based on praise.

Another film critic that Murphy valued, Roger Albert, did not show up at the hotel until the banquet was about to end. (To be continued.)
