King of Hollywood

Time flies sometimes, especially when you don't realize it, a month or a few months will pass in the blink of an eye. With the arrival of the end of August, "Four Weddings and a Funeral", which is rushing to the summer vacation, is also preparing to be released.

Because of the scandal between Adrian and Julia, the movie attracted the attention of the public for the first time, and reporters also did a lot of reports. Afterwards, as the popularity of the scandal subsided, the attention decreased slightly, but with the broadcast of the trailer and the large-scale publicity of the film company, it still attracted many people to talk about it.

"The best love movie of the year", "Julia's most exciting performance since "Pretty Woman"" and other promotional phrases frequently appeared in newspapers, using all kinds of exaggerated words to praise to attract the audience for the first time. Entering the movie for a while is already an indispensable propaganda method, even if the movie fails, these will become a laughing stock.

Some critics who saw the test screening agreed, with one columnist writing in the Chicago Tribune:

"The interesting and warm plot is the biggest attraction of this movie. The romantic and suave male protagonist meets the conservative, sensitive but independent female protagonist and then a series of chemical reactions are caused, coupled with the well-handled British humor, and The four weddings and funerals with completely different styles are amazing. The most interesting thing is that the romantic and suave male protagonist is British, while the conservative and sensitive female protagonist is American, which inevitably feels a bit misplaced, but it happens to be this The feeling of dislocation gives people a strong sense of resonance. Well, I can't say too much, let's enjoy it for yourself after the movie is released."

But some people don't think so.

"I can't imagine an actor who used to play street hustlers and decadent men in cult movies suddenly turned suave and fell in love with Julia. Well, Dennis is a good actor, at least I think his performance in "Memento" is remarkable, but it doesn't mean that he is really suitable for a romantic comedy movie. I have no idea how the director and the producers choose the roles, and the prospects for this movie I'm pessimistic."

"A lot of people seem to be looking forward to this movie, but what I'm saying is, let's think about the awful Keeping a Lover first. Just because no one talks about it now doesn't mean Judy Leah and the failure of this movie don’t exist. Yes, Julia’s character is still so independent and individual, but except for repetition and repetition, there is no slightest innovation, and I can almost predict the future of this movie.”

Two very interesting reviews. The former obviously did not participate in the test screening, but only made judgments based on the impression of the trailer and the actors, so he is not optimistic about Dennis. And the latter obviously saw the test screening, and specifically aimed at what Julia wrote. The tone of the former appears cautious, while the latter appears unscrupulous.

But you don’t need to take these things too seriously. It’s easier to criticize than to praise. If you want to praise, the movie must have something worthy of praise, unless you have the cheek to say that the shortcomings are advantages. But if you want to criticize, you can find loopholes no matter what. Not only the actors, but the British humor in the film, as well as the image of the British and Americans in it, have been criticized by some critics who like to criticize.

Besides, this objectively attracted a lot of attention. Coupled with the company's spare no efforts in publicity, the movie gained a good reputation before it was released. As for how it is, whether it is popular or not, you will naturally know when the movie is released.

On the day of August 31, many reporters gathered outside the Grauman Theater early on. Now that the publicity has reached this point, the premiere must be a must. But the main purpose of the reporters is not this. They hope to capture the intimate appearance of Adrian and Julia in the premiere. Although the scandal between the two is not as eye-catching as it was at the beginning, it is still maintain a certain degree of heat.

What's more, with the addition of Monica Bellucci, everything becomes more confusing. Who is Adrian dating? Or are you stepping on two boats? Or hug left and right like some tabloids say?

It's a pity that Adrian and Julia didn't give them this chance. The time when the two arrived at the theater was completely staggered. Adrian arrived after Julia went in for a long time, and neither of them answered the reporters directly. The problem.

"Please, everyone, you've been asking me for a few months, can't you pay attention to other things?" Julia, who was wearing a black long-sleeved jacket on the upper body and a short skirt on the lower body, showing a pair of beautiful long legs, was very excited. Said in a helpless tone.

"Hey, guys, be professional, today is the premiere of the movie, okay?" Adrian shrugged at them with a smile, and then walked inside very simply.

"What the hell, why can't they cooperate?" Some reporters complained, but no matter how unwilling they were, they couldn't help Julia and Adrian. After making up stories for so long, the public already has a certain degree of immunity, and if they want to dig deeper, they have to use photos to speak.

It's a pity that after learning the lesson from last time, Adrian has been very careful. Except for being almost discovered in Santa Monica last month, he never gave the reporter a chance—the scene of having dinner with Monica is intentional.

As for the subsequent press conference, what fool would ask that kind of question at that time?

"I suddenly feel a little sympathetic to those guys outside." Julia said to Adrian with a smile.

"They don't deserve sympathy, Julie, sympathizing with them is tantamount to asking for trouble for themselves." Adrian shrugged, then looked around, and reached out to wrap his arms around her waist as quickly as lightning .

Julia was not talking, but just gave Adrian a complicated look. Although the two were standing side by side in the middle of the crowded hall, there was no physical contact. In fact, including the few parties they attended together before, the two were like this, both close and distant. After all, in such a crowded place, if they are too intimate, who knows if someone will speak out.

"By the way, Julie, how about we find a place to have a chat when the movie starts?" Adrian, who saw her look in his eyes, said in a low voice with a smile.

"I'm sorry, I'm not interested today." Julia gave him a blank look, then turned around and walked away slowly.

Looking at her beautiful back, Adrian smiled lightly and shook his head, how could he not be clear about Julia's thoughts after dating for so long, some dissatisfaction and confusion, but more irresistible, so she I chose silence on some things. The date with Monica in front of the reporter is certainly to divert attention, but it's not like trying to test Julia.

The result is of course in line with Adrian's wishes. This silence is a bit like the homosexuality in the US military. Everyone knows who has such a thing, but as long as no one reports it, everyone will choose to ignore it. Of course, once it is reported, it will be troublesome. . This is the current situation between him and Julia. Although there are still unfathomable factors, it doesn't matter. I'm not afraid that she has any thoughts, but I'm afraid that she doesn't have any.

"Hi, Dan, Nori." After temporarily separating from Julia, Adrian quickly found Dennis in the crowd, and with him was Winona Ryder in a thin shoulder dress.

"Hi, Ed, it looks like you have escaped the interrogation of those guys outside." Dennis greeted him with a smile.

"Yeah." Adrian shrugged. He really wanted to ask, "You don't seem to have escaped." Na had already broken up with Depp and lived with Dennis before this, but she was still a little secretive in front of the reporters. This time, doing so was tantamount to announcing the relationship between the two completely and publicly, and the reporters outside would not fall out. Genius.

Thinking of some scenes at the celebration party of "Friends" before, Adrian inevitably had some thoughts, so he wanted to ask a few questions tentatively. But after glancing at Winona beside Dennis, he immediately swallowed those words back.

Although the current Winona no longer gives him the same face as she did on the set of "Four Weddings and a Funeral", she is not lukewarm every time they meet. I really don't know what was going on in her head, which made Dennis smile bitterly and apologize to Adrian in private every time. Perhaps this is a common problem of young people who have become famous too early and have not suffered any setbacks.

Of course, Adrian didn't care at all, and he didn't care about it for Dennis' sake.

"Why do you look a little nervous, this is not your first time acting in a movie." Adrian asked in a joking tone after looking him up and down.

"It's not that obvious, is it?" Dennis looked at himself, and then sighed, "Of course I know this is not the first time I have acted in a movie, but this is my first time in a romantic comedy movie."

"Why, you also believe what those guys said? Your previous role determines that you are not suitable for romantic comedies?" Adrian raised his eyebrows, "Don't you even have this confidence."

"Of course not," Dennis shook his head, "It's not that I didn't participate in the trial screening, it's just that... now it seems that I'm on the stage and waiting for everyone's judgment. Even though I have experience and have enough confidence in myself, I still have a little Excited and disturbed."

"It's okay, I believe in my vision, everyone will like your performance." Adrian chuckled, then looked at Winona, "If you still have doubts, you might as well ask Noni. What do you think Dan Are you usually a romantic, Nori?"

"Of course." Winona shrugged and answered without any hesitation.

"I still remember..." She said with a reminiscence look again, but Dennis immediately coughed dryly beside her.

Seeing this scene, Adrian shook his head with a smile, and then said, "Okay, I won't bother you."

Then he turned around and left, and looked back after walking out of the cut-off distance. The two obviously talked intimately, with smiles on their faces. After thinking about it again, Adrian shrugged noncommittally, and then strode away. ()
