King of Hollywood

v3 Chapter 171: Lock ahead

From the beginning, "Devil's Head" was very low-key, low-key preparation, low-key boot, low-key shooting, low-key sealing, the outside world did not know that Adrian this year except "The Matrix" and "The Lord of the Rings" And movies.

This situation lasted until late October. After Irene Warnos's death sentence was formally executed, some media mentioned the case again, and Adrian only made people say it: a Hollywood film company wanted to adapt the case. It's a movie. This news immediately caused discussion within a certain range. Although many states in the United States have not abolished the death penalty, it is very troublesome to execute the death penalty. Vonos is the best example. He was arrested as early as 91 but has been It was not officially implemented until this year, although there is conclusive evidence that she killed six or seven victims.

This is because it is necessary to treat the death penalty carefully or to delay it is more conducive for lawyers to accumulate money or something else. Everyone has their own views. I won't say much here, but some human rights organizations that advocate the abolition of the death penalty are still unwilling. Therefore, when the wind came out, they wrote an article on it, saying that even Hollywood started to sympathize with Warnos, and it should not be so urgent to execute the death penalty and so on.

As a result, the prosecution was very upset, and they also fought back through their own media channels. The police who solved the case even told the reporter politely: "I know Hollywood wants to pack her as a poor person, but It is an indisputable fact that she killed eight people. Irene Warnos is a cold-blooded demon! "

of course. The scope of this dispute is small, after all, it is a case ten years ago, and it is not as famous as Simpson, so it has not caused much trouble. Then, at the end of November, "The Devil" began to be promoted before Thanksgiving. The first gimmick was Gwenis playing ugly as Irene Warnos.

After the popularity of films such as "Titanic", "History of Shakespeare", "Sense and Emotion", and "Beautiful Mind", which are both blockbuster and word-of-mouth, Gwennis is now far more popular than at this time in previous lives. And last year she had the highest voice for the best actress in an Oscar, but in the end she lost to Nicole and made many people sympathize. There are still fans in various channels claiming that she should be the 74th Oscar film. Such an actress actually has to play on the screen as the serial female murderer Erin Warnos! It is conceivable how many eyeballs will attract.

But even so, the scope of the response is still not large, the publicity is not very strong, and the trailer has not been released. Even if an article is to be written, it has to wait for more specific situations to come out. Interestingly, more and more news was released with "The Devil". The people who were watching actually reduced the movement. Even if the news of Gwennis deliberately fattening and ugly makeup spread, and it was confirmed in the subsequent trailer, they remained silent. Then, their guess To be confirmed. This film was indeed directed and produced by Marvel director Adrian Cowell.

If Adrian is just a director, it won't matter much even if he is famous, but he is still the chairman of the board of directors of the media, which is different. Although Adrian has always been creating a situation, when he was a director, he was just a director. But some attributes cannot be completely ignored once they are put on him, just like those who oppose the death penalty deliberately express a situation in which the media tycoon sympathized with the experience of Warnos.

Of course, I just sympathized with Warnos, and there was no objection to the death penalty. Otherwise, once Adrian came forward to deny it, their faces would be a little unsightly. It may also be prosecuted. Although these people always like to think that they insist on the truth, they are not all lacking in mind. It is undoubtedly foolish to offend a media group boss.

Besides, how others interpret it doesn't matter what they do.

This is indeed the case. After the news of Adrian directed the biography film of Irene Warnos was confirmed, and some film critics praised Gwenise's performance after participating in the preview, such as--

"Gwennice Paltrow perfectly interprets one in this film. The woman at the bottom is so step by step to destruction. Her superb acting skills allowed me to combine the image in the film with the previous role. It ’s completely unconnected. I heard that Gwyneth added 20 pounds to the film and shaved her eyebrows. She moved closer to Irene Warnos in shape and spirit. Her great courage and dedication The spirit deserves everyone's affirmation. "Ronnie Fann, one of the well-known film critics, wrote in his article.

And also a well-known film critic, Leisha Lewis analyzed the entire film from a female perspective: "Is there a crying broken heart hidden under the hard shell of that infamous serial killer? Irene ? Wonos's life is undoubtedly very unfortunate. Her childhood was nothing but beatings, abuses and abuses. She may have had a dream, but it was soon broken under the blow of ruthless reality. He had to betray his body from his teens and eventually became a prostitute on the highway.

On that dark rainy night, desperately, she got the comfort she never had from the same-sex Hilby. Maybe she is not homosexual, maybe she just needs to be loved and needed, so she seized this life-saving straw. But when she did not have the expertise to reintegrate into society, the reality still closed the door to her, so that she had to regain her old career, until she encountered a sexual sadism, the beast in her heart was completely released, and she began Serial killing.

The miracle director used dark shadows and precise grasp of the details to portray the inner world of the movie and the characters to the fullest, and Gwennis's interpretation of the characters was also comprehensive. As a newcomer Anne Hathaway, although the image The innocence and innocence of "The Princess's Diary" have changed dramatically, but they have been completely suppressed, but in general they have done quite well.

This may not be Adrian's best work, but it must be his heaviest work. Fortunately, in the end, he still gives the audience a little hope. I hope every cloud can really have its own sky. "

Lewis's comments are very delicate, and to some extent they have also caused strong response from some people, but the most interesting thing is that Ronnie Fanwin and Leissa Lewis faced different opinions in the movie, but this time they participated in the same The film's audition and unanimous praise made many people shocked.

Although "Devil's Head" is very low-key, and there are not many film critics invited to participate in the screening, but Adrian's own strength has destined that these film critics who can participate are quite famous, so for a low-cost partial literature For the movie. The publicity effect is quite good, which also gives some people a chance.

For a great director who is also a media tycoon, but produced a film sympathizing with Irene Warnos, the police and prosecutors are naturally quite dissatisfied. This is not the case of the Norfolk Four Marines. The evidence is clear and the process is clear. The prisoner has pleaded guilty. The problem is only that Warnos argued that he was beaten in violence before he killed the opponent in the counterattack. This is to avoid the death penalty.

What a **** reason. Among the victims are young boys, old people at home, and even plainclothes policemen. Is there any reason not to execute the death sentence on this cold-blooded killer? !! So when some people jumped out, the government also started to refute, and at the same time expressed regret and disappointment for Adrian's move.

"There is no doubt that Adrian Cowell is a great director. He is also a great philanthropist and patriot, but his behavior this time is a bit inadequate, and we really hope that he can be more detailed before making this film. To understand the specific process of the entire case, not to listen to the letter. "Police spokesman told reporters.

They are not stupid, no matter how dissatisfied. However, it is unwise to directly blame a boss of a media group and a well-known Hollywood director. In the final analysis, this is just a movie. However, they can take this opportunity to make their positions more firm and erect their own image, so as to gain more support.

However, the two parties exercise restraint. But entertainment journalists don't care about it. Since it has been reported by other media and there are so many disputes, there is no reason for Mr. Adrian Cowell to prevent them from following up. So they tried to find a way to dig a word or two from his mouth. For the first time, the director of Miracles got into controversy because of the identity of the owner of his media group.

However, although this situation was unexpected, Adrian did not respond immediately. After waiting a few days to observe the situation, he answered this question before the reporter.

"This film was completed as early as the first half of the year, but I have not promoted it, but after October, I do not want to affect the public's perception because of this film. I will pay the price for wrong things. Besides, Irene Warnos cruelly deprived several people of their lives. Of course, how big the scale is is a matter of law, and we cannot influence the law with our likes and dislikes, so the reason why I made this film was not to sympathize with anyone , But want to find out the source of the problem. Those innocent people are indeed victims, but isn't Vonos also a victim? If we just just go on the surface rather than go deep, do n’t find the problem The real reason is not to find solutions to discrimination and to help those in need, so Irene Warnos is not just a special one. "

The above is Adrian's speech. In addition, he also said that he donated all the proceeds of the film to charity, and gave an additional sum of money to help those in the bottom level who really need help to change their lives. . This is a very smooth speech. No one on the two sides who argued was guilty. They did not express their views on the execution of Warnos, but also had a vague sympathy. At the same time, it also stirred the emotions of readers. And made some pretty perfect publicity for his movie.

The effect is very good. The name of Adrian's philanthropist is getting louder and louder. Although some people also vaguely point out that his speech has the nature of a wall of grass, but he has not grasped it. Don't forget, he is a media magnate If necessary, you can find many people to shout for yourself. Naturally still satisfies your curiosity, publicly expresses your views, and allows you to interpret it yourself-as long as it is not too simple to take out of context-then don't bother me!

Then, more people followed the film, when "The Devil's Head" was released in mid-December. Although it was only released in 20 theaters, it got more than 300,000 box office in the three days of the weekend. For a partial literary film, this result is quite good.

Similarly, in film reviews, most of them are praised. Adrian naturally did not completely copy the original version, but added many details. For example, a small pendant that Warnos has been around since childhood also represents her desire for dreams. She has been with her from beginning to end until she encountered sexual abuse. After fighting back and killing her, she drove away and drove away with Hilby, she glanced at the small pendant and immediately threw it into the trash can, indicating that she had fallen into a nightmare completely— —This is, after all, a movie, not a documentary.

These details add a lot of color to the film. After all, Adrian has made movies for almost ten years. Although they are plagiarism, they have also accumulated unparalleled experience in modification, and Gwennis, who has been left out— — Almost everyone recognizes it. They couldn't connect the full-faced and swearing woman on the screen with the elegant and graceful Gwenness-she had a thick accumulation of her acting skills.

For example, after becoming a cold-blooded serial killer, Warnos pretended to be a street girl, hitchhiking on the highway, and then tricked people into the deep woods to kill them mercilessly. When she killed several people, she met a gentle old man who didn't ask for anything. I just wanted to help her, and when she realized that she was wrong, she begged her to let go and promised she wouldn't call the police, and showed her a picture of her wife.

After being trembling for a long time, Warnos finally pulled the trigger, and then. She returned to the car, sitting in the driver's seat, her eyes wide open and her teeth clucking. The total despair was obvious and infectious. Many film critics called this episode the whole movie. The most impressive shot.

"It was a despair that couldn't be seen directly. Gwennis' performance was moving." Roger Albert wrote in his comment.

Gwennis's excellence also made Annie look a bit overshadowed, which is not to say that she did not perform well. In Adrian's view, at least there is no original selfish feeling that only cares about expressing herself. Anyway, Annie is still a new actress. The most well-known work is "Princess Diary", and she is still a very pure image, so suddenly subverted. It is inevitable that some people will not accept it, and Gwennis is also very outstanding, so ...

"In fact, don't worry, you are doing a good job, Annie." Adrian comforted Annie so, "After all, most movie fans know you through" The Princess Diary ", and it takes time for them to accept your change."

"I know," Annie Hathaway, sitting on his lap, smiled smartly. "It's just a headache over Universal."

Adrian couldn't help laughing, and Ron Meyer complained to him more than once after the release of "The Devil's Head". Because the box office of "Princess Diary" was still pretty good, Universal had originally planned to make a sequel. But after the release of "The Devil's Head", Annie's image changed greatly, her hair was shortened and straightened, her face was pale all the time, her makeup was ugly, and it looked like two people in the "Princess Diary". Many fan protests. But more importantly, she plays a serial female murderer, so how can she play Princess Mia in the future?

But she decided to let her play this role as Adrian, and Meyer could only express her depression.

"To be honest, Anne, it's not a good thing to make a 180 ° turn at once, but I still let you play this role, do you know why?" Adrian squeezed her chin, "I believe you have that determination, have That ability played the role well and successfully completed his image transformation. "

"Thank you, Ed." Annie raised her corner of her mouth, again with a touch of flattery in Qingxiu, and then came over to give him a sweet kiss.

Although this move pleased Adrian, he still couldn't help but sigh. The rough suggestion had left a little sequelae. Although Anne was very obedient after that ~ lightnovelpub.net ~, they always had that. A little estranged. But it doesn't matter. By the time of this year or the year of explanation, Gwinnis has successfully reached the summit. She should know what she can do best.

Basically, most people can already see that Gwyneth has locked the best actress of the Oscars next year. From 1998 to the present, each actress who acted as the heroine in a film directed by Adrian himself They all won the Oscar for the best actress. Why is Gwennis exception? You have to know that all the conditions required for Oscar's filming are met. The role played by the real person is still a murderous man, fat and ugly. Most people admit that her acting skills are impeccable.

And more importantly, she has been nominated for several years in a row, and each time she was unlucky. She was the one who was most likely to get the best actress last year. However, Nicole was backed by Adrian. Robbed in his hand. Adrian will be directing a movie that is not particularly good in terms of quality, but let her act as the heroine, probably because of compensation.

Even if the film school has to consider the pressure of public opinion, such as whether the Oscar film was saved by Adrian's wallet, but Gwennis put more pressure on them than this, and even a source of unknown sources said that When Gwennis talked about her father who had just passed away, her last regret was that she couldn't work harder to let her father see the crown she had won. In this case, the Film Academy can choose other people. ? (To be continued ...)
