King of Hollywood

Although the plot of the new version of "Four Weddings and a Funeral" has changed a lot compared to the original version in Adrian's memory, Mike Newell still grasps the two main points of the story.

The first is the ubiquitous British humor. Although it may affect the effect when sarcasm is said with a serious expression, the audience will definitely laugh as long as they recall it; the second is the attitude of young people towards marriage in the 1990s Today, the old people always think that marriage is sacred, but to today's youth it is just a ceremony.

Neville made good use of three weddings and a funeral, as well as the contrast between Julia's conservative Kelly and Dennis's open Charles, both affirming the meaning of marriage and at the same time drawing This point of view is perfectly expressed, supplemented by interesting humor, it is still an excellent romantic comedy movie.

In the end, the hero Charles failed to get married, and his deaf-mute friend finally thought of a third idea during the wedding. When the priest presiding over the wedding announced that he could express his opinion if he thought the bride and groom were inappropriate, he stood up. Use sign language to express that you think the groom loves someone else.

Faced with this situation, Charles, who was suffering in his heart, had to admit it, and then was punched to the ground by the angry bride. However, it was a blessing in disguise that, after canceling the wedding, Kelly finally got the courage to meet Charles, so, in the torrential rain, the lovers finally got married.

Frankly speaking, this test screening is more crude than "Schindler's List". "Schindler's List" just lacks the opening and ending credits, and there is no soundtrack in some places, but "Four Weddings and a Funeral" has some plots on the first wedding and the funeral. display boards to tell the story

Of course, this does not mean that the directors are lazy. Since the filming started at the beginning of the year, it has been almost half a year now. It is already quite good to be able to produce to this level. Although there are some reasons, this is a low-cost movie and it is very convenient to shoot, but Neville and screenwriter Curtis' excellent ability is also one of the reasons.

Regarding this point, Adrian, who had compared the two versions of the movie in his mind, was clear, so when the lights were turned on after the movie was finished, applause rang out in the screening hall.

"Good job, Dan, as I said, I can't be wrong." Adrian talked to Neville for a few words, praised him a lot, and then came to Dennis, smiling at the young lad. There was a punch on the shoulder.

Dennis's performance in "Four Weddings and a Funeral" can be described as a lot of highlights, not to mention the very good British accent, whether it is expression or body language, it is quite attractive, definitely better than Hugh Grant. Even Neville, who was reserved at first, was full of praise for him later.

"Thank you, Ed, I can finally let go of the big rock in my heart." Although Dennis didn't punch back, he reached out and gave Adrian a high-five, with a smile on his face that seemed very happy.

"Are you trying to say that I put a lot of pressure on you?" Adrian asked jokingly.

Dennis didn't answer directly, but looked at Adrian for a while before saying: "That's true."

Adrian immediately showed a look of surprise, but before he could ask Dennis, he explained: "While it put me under a lot of pressure, it also gave me a lot of motivation. You recommended me, of course I will do it." Until the best."

"Thank you, that's the best compliment I've ever heard." Adrian laughed immediately, and patted him on the shoulder. To be honest, the choice of Dennis to play "Four Weddings and a Funeral" was largely out of intuition and initial judgment. Now it has been proved that his plasticity is indeed very strong. No one would have thought that he would actually pick up a With such talents, opportunity is indeed the most important factor for actors to succeed.

"This is my truth, Ed," Dennis looked at him and said earnestly, "If I hadn't agreed to your invitation by a ghost, I might still be working as a waiter in a cafe now. It's only been two years I have been able to play the lead actor in medium-investment movies, and I have jumped from a famous and potential rookie to an infinitely close to the first-line star. Some things cannot be expressed with a thank you, I can only Use your own efforts to give back."

Adrian smiled, and patted Dennis on the shoulder vigorously without saying anything.

"You're going to be a big star, Dan," he said with certainty.

The reason why he decided to support Dennis is because the other party is a capable person, a smart person, and...a person who understands. Needless to say ability, if there are similarities in his image in the four films directed by Adrian before, then the current "Four Weddings and a Funeral" is enough to explain everything. The feeling of being a bit of a ruffian is interpreted very well. Moreover, he is smooth in communication but not annoying, and at the same time, he does not lose his personality and charm, which are the necessary qualities for a big star.

As for being smart, although Dennis just graduated from high school, he understands the importance of self-cultivation better than many young people who become famous overnight. He also likes to play and party, and sometimes smokes marijuana, but he is always very limited. And he also followed many good suggestions from the agent, such as exercising to keep fit, and there is even a special room for videotapes in the villa, so that it is convenient to watch at any time.

Needless to say, what he said before is enough.

"That's it." Adrian said that he was about to leave, but Dennis stopped him immediately: "By the way, Ed, there is a party at my house tonight, maybe you have a reason to attend?"

"No problem." Adrian agreed without thinking.

"Great, then I won't waste your time." Dennis smiled and made a "Let's go" gesture.

this kid. Adrian laughed in his heart, turned and walked towards his goal. It is a pity to say that Rachel Weisz did not come to the United States to participate in the trial screening. Of course, she is British but not the protagonist, so there is no need to come to the United States specially for the trial screening. But the problem is that although she gave her a business card when she left London last time, she has even called him so far, so she doesn't know what she is thinking.

Maybe he shouldn't have slept with her last time. Adrian sighed inwardly. Recalling it so far, he still feels very surprised. He really didn't think about having a further relationship with Rachel that day. If you want to court a woman, it's best not to have sex the first time you meet.

But it just happened, and it happened naturally, as if it happened naturally. Adrian remembered that they talked about English literature and the works of some well-known authors, or a bookish woman like Rachel was particularly fond of this kind of sentiment?

This is a real one-night stand, right? Adrian suddenly felt a little funny, and he quickly shook his head and put these things behind him. Although there is no Rachel here, there are other women he likes.

"Hi, Julie." Adrian came to Julia with a smile.

"Hi, Ed." Julia was taken aback for a moment, then lowered her head and coughed lightly, and reached out to brush the hair on her temples.

"I haven't seen you for a few weeks. You seem to be even more beautiful." Adrian's smile became stronger, and at the same time, he glanced at the lady who was talking to Julia before. Julia had no time to ask to stay.

"Hell, what do you think, Ed?" Julia stared at Adrian, if this wasn't a screening room, maybe she would lean forward with her hands on her hips to increase her momentum.

"I just want to ask you out, Julie." Adrian spread his hands innocently.

"Sorry, I have something else to do." Julia gave him a hard smile.

"But Rebecca said you have no other plans today." Adrian smiled kindly.

"She betrayed me?" Julia showed a shocked look.

"No, I just asked others to help me." Adrian shrugged.

Julia stopped talking and just stared at him, and Adrian sighed: "Come on, Julie, I just want to hang out with you, have dinner, and take you home. Of course, if you want , and you can go to Dan's party with me before you go home."

After a pause, he put on an annoyed look: "Okay, Julie, I think I still have some credibility, right? Last time at the "Vanity Fair" party, you said you didn't want to..."

"That's enough, Ed, that's enough." Julia interrupted him a little too much, and waved her arms crossed vigorously: "No matter what you say today, don't let me sit in your car go"

Thirty minutes later, with a bang, Julia looked helplessly at Adrian who had closed the car door, and said in a resentful and angry tone, "So, where are you going to take me?"

"Nice place." Adrian smiled, started the engine and drove the car onto the street.

The film company was originally located in the suburbs of Los Angeles, so the car quickly came to Route 66 with few vehicles. Then Adrian put on sunglasses, lowered the car window and stepped up the accelerator. At the same time, he turned on the car record player, playing rock and roll music Hurricane dashed all the way north.

Julia, who had originally made up her mind not to speak, finally turned slightly pale when the speed of the car became faster and the whistling wind became louder.

"Where are we going?" she asked loudly.

"What did you say?" Adrian replied with the same loud voice, just with a smile on his face, obviously pretending not to hear.

Although Julia was angry, she couldn't get angry, so she had to ask loudly again: "Where do we want to go?"

"A place with a nice view," Adrian replied.

After a few minutes, he finally slowed down and pulled off Route 66, following him up the hills near Santa Monica. ()
