King of Hollywood

Chapter 136 Entangled together

This is still an old-fashioned story. A good man who was a chivalrous man was caught by the enemy and was imprisoned. After many years, he finally escaped and met a kind-hearted young man. He inherited the mantle to replace his own reputation and continued to fight for the poor and the bureaucracy.

Of course, various stories happened during the period, such as meeting the old enemy who put the good man in prison and separated his wife again, and the daughter of the old enemy is the daughter who was separated from him at the beginning, so it was staged again. A scene where father and daughter recognize each other. The ending is also a happy ending. The little girl who grew up finally made the old enemy of the good man get the punishment he deserved. At the same time, he married the daughter of the good man and officially took over the mantle. The winner in life is nothing more than that.

This is a story that can be placed in any place in any era, but if it is applied to Zorro, it will be different. Although it is said that Zorro in history was just an ordinary thief and robber, the derived image is welcomed by many people. There are many novels, animations, movies and TV shows about him. Jericho's powerful characters - shows that some things are consistent across the world.

Zorro in traditional works is smart and powerful, with superb swordsmanship and wit, and a personable demeanor worthy of the title of Grand Thefter. But the movie "The Mask of Zorro" is different. At the beginning, Zorro was arrested after an operation, and there was no chance of turning the tables. Not only was his wife killed by his opponent, but his daughter was also taken away, and he was finally put in prison. .

This is probably the worst Zorro among all Zorro. The audience originally thought that he would escape from prison soon and seek justice. Unexpectedly, it will take several years to escape, but he has lost the energy he had before. As a last resort, he chose the young man who had helped him, intending to train him into the new Zorro. This is one of the highlights. Like many animations, Zorro's animation is also a mess on the timeline. Although it is not as exaggerated as Wannian Primary School Student, it is not far behind.

Superheroes can also be explained by various parallel worlds, but Zorro, who once had a prototype in history, is not easy to handle. For a while, he was in Spain for so many years, and for a while, he was in Mexico for so many years, and he was in Mexico for a while. The area in what is now Texas and California. Although this movie can't explain this problem very well, it also points out a direction. The name Zorro is actually not a person but a heritage.

These factors combined with the fact that there hasn't been a decent movie about Zorro for a long time, so it's no surprise that "The Mask of Zorro" will be popular.

What's more, the three leading actors also have good performances. If Hopkins' handsome gentleman looks more than a dozen younger, I'm afraid he will replace Banderas in the new Zorro; For the Spaniards, it’s no problem to perform the sense of escape with some hippie smiles; as for Zeta-Jones, in the movie, he is indeed so beautiful that he is in the middle of his prime and has a classic temperament, and his skill Vigorous, especially when it comes to fencing, even if it is a ua bottle, it is a top-quality ua bottle.

"Did you hear the admiration?" Adrian leaned close to Zeta Jones's ear, blew lightly, and asked so jokingly.

"I think they'll be amazed because the new Zorro slashed Elena's clothes with his sword." Zeta-Jones replied with a chuckle, even though there was a palpable excitement flashing across her face.

"Isn't this also a manifestation of your charm?" Adrian reached out from behind the chair and wrapped his arms around her waist, even though there were other people sitting nearby.

"Frankly speaking, I'm beginning to have a feeling of worrying about gains and losses, Ed." Zeta Jones sighed, although he said so, he grabbed the moving hand on his waist and pulled it forward, placing it on the The outer side of the big uǐ wrapped in a tube skirt.

"I'm worried. Since I promised, I will definitely make it happen. Even if the film's box office in North America is less than 1 billion US dollars, it will not be included in the original promise." Adrian shrugged slightly, and then thought of something 1ù made a smirk.

"But if it comes true, then..." He leaned close to Zeta Jones' ear again and said a few words in the lowest voice.

"You're so nasty, Ed." Zeta-Jones immediately responded in a low voice in a reproachful tone, his bright eyes shone shyly in the dark cinema, and he looked like an unusual person.

I have to say that this woman is really seductive, even knowing that she is faking, it still makes people feel comfortable, but it is a pity that Adrian is in front of her. He just smiled lightly, took another sip on her earball, and then turned his gaze back to the big screen, as if he was serious about watching the movie.

Zeta-Jones was a little surprised, but soon thought of something and smiled, and then sat upright and continued to watch. Similar to "Mr. Sweetheart", film critics gave good comments during the test screening, and the positive comments naturally accounted for the majority after the release. But this is different. Although "Mr. Sweetheart" is somewhat commercialized, it is in line with the mainstream values ​​of American society, so the evaluation of art has also increased a lot, while "Zorro's Mask" is completely There are commercial movies, plus there are countless movies about Zorro before, so most of the film critics focus on the novelty of the story and the good acting skills of the actors.

But in any case, Zeta Jones has opened up the situation in Hollywood, and many entertainment media have given her a lot of praise, thinking that the beauty she showed in the movie is amazing. People are fascinated, although Adrian used the resources in his hands to build momentum for Zeta Jones, but many media also sincerely praised him.

"She has an indescribable classical temperament. In the movie, she is a little wild and at the same time bright and moving, which makes people fascinated." A reporter from the "Chicago Tribune" wrote.

However, the gossip tabloids all focused their firepower on one aspect: the sixth miracle girl was released

It wasn't long before Adrian attended the screening of "Mr. Sweetheart" with Blanchett on his arm, and now he is attending the screening of "Zorro's Mask" with Zeta Jones on his arm. How could this prevent the paparazzi from giving full play? Lenovo?

"According to a reliable source, Catherine Zeta-Jones was personally recommended by Adrian to play this role. As we all know, Adrian, who is known as a miracle director, has always had a good eye. The people he likes have outstanding talents. This time seems to be no exception, at least Catherine is the prettiest among the six miracle girls."

"Just a week ago, Adrian walked down the red carpet with Cate Blanchett and now with Catherine Zeta-Jones, and I have to say, the woman next to him has changed It’s really hard work.”

"Whether it's with Cate Blanchett or Cate Zeta-Jones, Adrian seems extremely ambiguous, which shows that the relationship is different. Obviously, when others are struggling to get a girl, Adrian may be Having a headache about who to ask out, wondering how Julia, Monica, or Gwyneth, Sophie, would feel about it."

Various versions of gossip are flying all over the sky, basically focusing on the image of Adrian's uaua son, and the possibility of stepping on several boats at the same time. He also tried his best to get close to other miraculous girls, hoping to get them out of their mouths. To order something, it's a pity that they were already prepared for this, no matter who they are, they are indifferent, and many paparazzi have returned without success.

Even so, people who like to gossip still talk about these things. On the one hand, they excitedly guess whether Adrian had a night with several women or whether he was on a formal date; on the other hand, he was envious and jealous. To be able to hook these women with completely different temperaments and styles.

However, Adrian, who is one of the parties involved, still doesn't care about it at all. It's not that the women don't know these things. Since they all choose to acquiesce, they will actively ignore them. All he has to do is coax them at the right time. Just a little bit. When you get used to one thing, it will be very difficult and hesitant to change it. At this time, if you get some care, the changed things will be left behind.

Besides, as his status further improves, the paparazzi will only become less and less threatening. Yes, they are indeed very powerful. These shameless guys can use any means for gossip and news. A celebrity's trash can, rummaging through the condoms inside to make sure the other person still has a life, but they are also very sensible at the same time.

The simplest example, if Murdoch hadn't been involved in political events, how many reporters would pay attention to his life? Similarly, Bill Gates hooks up with others, and Steve Jobs likes the new and dislikes the old. It is only after a few years that he admits that he will be written into various reports or books. The paparazzi are not fools, they know who to offend and who not to offend -- even if there are paparazzi who don't understand, the editors above also understand.

Of course, the stars in the entertainment industry are their natural targets, but Adrian is also more cooperative in many aspects, and rarely shows them face. If you are a smart person, you naturally know that enough is enough. In addition, Adrian has always been very cautious, even if he is dating at the beach, he is always on the private beach, so it is naturally difficult for the paparazzi to catch him, not to mention...

Objectively speaking, these gossips still play a role in publicity. "The Mask of Zorro" won the North American box office of 10,000 million. Although it still can't compare with those big productions, it is still a good figure. Although in Adrian's memory, the film is still a little short of breaking 100 million in North America, but he is not worried. The current situation is just right, and the intensity of publicity has not decreased. Breaking 100 million should not be a problem.

Even if there is still a few million short in the end, he can just pay it out of his own pocket, and then Zeta Jones will have to honor her promise obediently.

Then, in the third week, before Christmas, "The English Patient", which was prepared for this year's Oscars, appeared in six major theaters. Because it is a literary line, the screening is smaller than the previous two films, but there are still a lot of media who come to the scene, they are basically tabloids, and they are basically waiting for this moment, the actors The name of Sophie Marceau on the list has been confirmed a long time ago, and many people are very excited. If Adrian walks the red carpet with Sophie on his arm this time, then there will be another close-up capitalization.

However, to their regret, Sophie did not appear with Adrian. It was a long time after she got out of the car and entered the theater alone that Adrian was late.

"Look, they hoped so much to see me come in with you, but you let them down. It's a pity." Adrian, who met Sophie, joked when he was fighting in the auditorium. .

"Tell me honestly, Adrian, how much do you have?" N Fei suddenly turned her head and looked at him with a little annoyed but more complicated eyes.

"What's the matter?" Adrian asked puzzledly, then thought of something and looked in the direction of Sophie, just in time to meet the eyes of Rachel who was sitting in the seat in front. The latter was stunned for two or three seconds, then hurriedly turned his head away.

"Just for this?" He laughed, with a hint of sarcasm in his smile.

Sophie suddenly became a little angry. She snorted heavily and walked forward, her skirt fluttering like a chic one. Adrian shrugged, but walked over to Rachel.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Adrian sitting next to her, Rachel, who was too late to get up, sighed and asked in a helpless tone.

"It's nothing, I just want to chat with you." Adrian smiled slightly.

"This is Anthony's place, yours is over there." Rachel pointed to a place not far away that was very close to Sophie who just sat down.

"It's okay, I don't think Anthony will mind," Adrian said and greeted Anthony Minghella who was talking with friend a, "Hey, Anthony, how about I change places with you."

Anthony froze when he heard the voice, then nodded: "No problem."

"Look, there's no problem now," Adrian laughed, and Rachel sighed and stopped talking.

"I haven't seen you for a few days and you seem to have lost some weight. It's too bad." Adrian said to himself, and with a serious look, he frowned as if something was wrong.

"Why can't I see it," Rachel couldn't help asking, "Besides, wouldn't it be nice to be thinner?"

"That's not like what you're saying, Rachel, you've always prided yourself on not trying to lose weight, and I agree that you're more beautiful when you're plump Taobao women's clothing Tmall Taobao mall Taobao women's clothing Winter coat m. Besides, my observation is very keen, whether you have lost weight, I can observe it at a glance..."

The chatterbox was opened immediately, and Adrian had already seen through Rachel's thoughts, and it was easy to get her to act according to his command bang, and the two chatted like this until the movie started. On the way, Sophie looked over here more than once. She thought she was doing it very covertly, but she didn't escape Adrian's eyes.

And Rachel, who focused on Adrian, also noticed something because of this. Although there was no reaction on the surface, a smile subconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Well, let’s get back to the movie. Although Anthony Minghella directed the film “The English Patient” for the first time, he has accumulated a wealth of experience in his previous career as a producer and screenwriter, and he has used almost all his talents in this film. In the film, whether it is in terms of composition, color, storyboard or too strange, they are all very well done.

Of course, the story itself is also very intriguing. Ralph Fiennes' actor Omashu fell in love with the wife of the pilot in the expedition team during the expedition, and Rachel Weisz's friend's wife Catherine also Also attracted by him, the secular morality made both of them restrain, but the more restrained this kind of thing became, the more they could not restrain themselves, so the two finally walked together.

The pilot Jeff, who was aware of it, remained absolutely silent, and then finally drove the plane towards Omashu when he couldn't bear it anymore, intending to die with him. The end result was that Jeff died, Omarsh survived, and Kathleen, who was on the plane, was seriously injured. Omashu, who lacked quality, could only put Kathleen in a dark mountain, and then walked out of the desert to ask for help.

However, he managed to find the Allied army, and was suspected of being a German because of his name and attitude. He was arrested and sent to a prisoner of war vehicle returning to Europe.

Helpless and almost desperate, Omashu finally took the risk and took the expedition team's detailed map of Africa to find the Germans in exchange for manpower and goods.

With the help of the Germans, Omashu finally rushed back, but what was waiting for him was Kathleen's cold body.

When it was put here, there was an unstoppable humming and whispering sound in the projection hall. From a moral point of view, the love between Kathleen and a married couple should not be, but when Omashu did not hesitate to bear the reputation of a traitor in order to save Kathleen, he had no choice but to make people pay for it. moving.

Especially when Omashu finally hugged Kathleen's body with the long white è silk, and wandered forward in the desert in a daze, as if he didn't know where to go, as if he just wanted to go down like this. The desperation and poignancy of the shadows that came out made many people sigh.

Women always imagine that there is a man who will give everything for them, and men sometimes imagine that there is a woman who can give everything for them.

The original novel of "The English Patient" has a lot more content than this love, such as Sophie's role as Hannah, a nurse who takes care of Omarsh, who lost her boyfriend and best friend to the war. It was so easy to open up because of the Indian bomb disposal soldier, but had to choose to break up because the opponent would go to the battlefield sooner or later.

In addition, everyone has their own stories, such as the fall of Cairo because Omashu gave the map a to Germany, and then committed suicide with a guilty silver bullet. Or allied spies who wanted to seek revenge on Omashu because their fingers were cut off, etc. However, since it is going to be adapted into a movie, there will inevitably be trade-offs. Facts have proved that Anthony Minghella has done a very good job on this. fa.
