Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 574 Premiere Again

Gossip lovers discovered a surprising thing in late 2001, when the well-known "Sun" newspaper published an apology within days of publishing a report on the so-called "audition" scam.Well, it can't be said to be an apology, but anyone with a discerning eye can see the meaning hidden under the words "obviously our information is not complete" and so on.

Many people feel baffled. With the "Sun"'s stern and faceless character, it will never bow its head and admit its mistakes until the end of the day.As for the incident in 94, not to mention that the "Sun" had not yet formed its current style at that time, the reporter was indeed too stupid, even if the "Sun" encountered such a thing now, it would still be troublesome.

So why was the apology so quick this time?Some people say that this is because Pixar released Miss Emma Watson's audition video on the TV station for the first time and declared that it will consider filing a lawsuit, but then someone retorted that the "Sun" has not been sued once or twice. It was not a threat at all; others said that it might be because Angela Mason, one of the parties involved, declared on her blog that she might refuse an interview with the "Sun" from now on and consider buying it, but others countered that contact The context of the blog is obviously a joke, no matter how rich Angela is, can she buy the tabloids?

In short, everyone has their own reasons, and no one can convince anyone.Of course, what these people see is always only the surface, and behind-the-scenes transactions are never carried out under the sun.

In any case, the only ones arguing about it are the British.As for Americans, their eyes were attracted to a certain movie early on. This is a movie that many people have been waiting for since the beginning of the year-"Brokeback Mountain"!

"Hey, look at you, young and handsome guys and beautiful girls." Angela smiled and opened her hands, talking to Ledger, Gyllenhill, Michelle and Sarah hugged it.

"You too, Angela, no one is more dazzling than you." Heath Ledger, who was wearing a suit and a bow tie, said with a smile, but his left hand crossed fingers with Michelle Williams, who was wearing a purple one-shoulder evening dress. buckle up.

Noticing this, Angela didn't show too much surprise. After all, they had already had this sign when they closed the scene, so they just said with a teasing tone: "So aboveboard, are you going to make the relationship public?"

"In fact, just a few minutes ago, they had already generously admitted to the reporter's questioning." Gyllenshire next to him interjected, but although there was joy for a friend on his face, there was also a little annoyance at the same time.

"What? You want to pursue Sarah, but Sarah won't dump you?" Angela deliberately glanced back and forth between him and Sarah.

"Stop teasing me like that, okay?" Gyllenshire smiled wryly, and Sarah gave her a blank stare.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this topic." Angela patted his arm comfortingly, "Don't worry, I can be sure that after today is over, your family will be proud of you."

The girl knew what Gyllenshire was thinking. When he agreed to play the role in "Brokeback Mountain", both his parents and his sister objected, and his sister even said that he might have his own future.Although it was a compromise in the end, the contradictions have not completely subsided, so the pressure on Gyllenhill has always been high.

"Then thank you for your good words first." Gyllenshire shrugged, and the trouble subsided a lot unconsciously.

"You're welcome, let's go in, we've taken enough photos of them." Angela said and gave Sarah a teasing and provocative smile, before she rolled her eyes and took the lead to walk into the theater .

As for the journalists pressing the shutters desperately around, as she said just now, enough photos have been taken.Of course, the voices of questioning one after another were directly ignored by the girl, besides, there will be a press conference afterwards, isn't it?

There were quite a few guests attending the premiere, but this time besides people in the circle, there were also members of gay organizations, and it was a gesture to invite them.We must know that for most people, the reason for looking forward to "Brokeback Mountain" is mainly because they are curious about the gay movie directed by Ms. Angel, and gay people are more excited.Therefore, whether it is for publicity or box office, it is very necessary to win them over.

However, this is something that Ed should consider. Although Angela does not mind supporting them from her own point of view, it is just that her plan has not been completed and her sexual orientation has not been exposed, so the necessary distance should be maintained. .After all, unlike the vast majority of Hollywood stars, she can express her understanding and support for homosexuality, but she absolutely cannot fall for them.So for the members of these gay organizations, she basically just chatted a few words in general.

To the girl's surprise, Jennifer Aniston was also among the guests.She has a good relationship with herself and the GLAAD (Gay League Against Discrimination) organization, so it was normal to attend the premiere, but she also came with her boyfriend.

"Hey, Jenny, it's nice to meet you." Angela hugged Jennifer generously, then smiled and extended her hand to the man beside her: "Hello, Mr. Pete."

"Hello, Miss Angela, frankly speaking, you are much prettier than in the magazines." Brad Pitt said flatteringly while holding her hand, "You can call me Brad or Bligh."

I have to admit that this kid does have something to attract women, his grin is very attractive, but unfortunately it doesn't work for someone.

"You can talk, Bligh," Angela said, looking narrowly at Jennifer. "How many women have you said that to?"

"Hmm..." Brad immediately raised his hands, while Jennifer smiled lightly.

Frankly speaking, Angela doesn't have much affection for Brad, she doesn't know why, maybe it's because of Jennifer?Although she and Jennifer haven't seen much in the past few years, they have always kept in touch-Angela keeps in touch with all "old friends" and never misses "Friends" whenever she has time.

What's interesting is that Jennifer and Pete have not yet reached the point of discussing marriage, and they have even known each other for less than a year.Regarding this situation, Angela didn't know whether to smile wryly or to be grateful.

Before the embarrassed Brad could reply, the girl changed the subject immediately: "You know, Bligh, my aunt was full of praise for you after her comeback in "Ocean's Eleven", and both Davids said You're a pretty good actor."

Brad was slightly stunned, and then he understood who the "aunt" and "two Davids" were, and couldn't help grinning: "Whether it's Fincher or Soderbergh, they are both excellent directors, no matter who they are with I have benefited a lot from working together. As for Julia, there is no denying that she is one of the best actresses."

"Really?" Indira rolled her eyes, "Then what about the one beside you?"

"Although Janie lacks opportunities in film, she is unmatched in television. However, in my heart, no matter what others say, she is the best and the best!" Brad's mind was not turning. Slow, objective and expressive, so in exchange for Jennifer's small but very sweet kiss on his face.

Angela snorted softly in her heart, and originally wanted to ask "Then what about the one standing in front of you", but after seeing Jennifer's smiling face, she could just forget it.At this moment, a thought from a few years ago resurfaced in her mind, and the girl couldn't help laughing softly.

"I suddenly had an idea," Angela said with a smile, seeing that Jennifer and Brad were attracted by her own laughter, "I have a pretty good script. I don't know if Jenny is interested."

"You mean..." Jennifer's eyes lit up.Although "Friends" has been on the air for several years, she has accumulated huge popularity, but the TV series will end one day, so she, Cornette, Matthew and others are trying to find a way to develop on the big screen.It's a pity that although "Friends" made them popular, it also limited their acting opportunities. Among them, Matthew was the best in movies.

Even so, Matthew is mostly responsible for funny in the movies. Similarly, although Jennifer has also taken a lot of movies, they are basically roles like silly big sisters.Now that Angela personally asked if there was a role she wanted to try, how could she not be pleasantly surprised. It goes without saying what Miss Angel's invitation means in Hollywood.

"Don't be too happy, my dear," Angela shook her finger, "First, it's not tailor-made, but I think it's more suitable for you; second, this role is not easy to play well, a little Attention can become a vase."

The movie the girl was talking about was "Magic Remote". When she was persuading Kate to act in "Fake God", she made up her mind to switch the roles of the two of them.Now that we have entered the 21st century, "Magic Remote Control" should also be released, and I don't know how far Jennifer will go. When she and Kate starred in "Fake God", she was unanimously rated as a vase by film critics.

Having said that, if it is the current Kate, it will definitely perform better, right?Angela suddenly thought of this.Unknowingly, the lover played in "The Devil" appeared in the mind, and the film critics said that this is her best role so far.However, Angela knew that it wasn't just acting skills and being ugly that made her feel so penetrating.In fact, I was able to perform the role of Sybil to the extreme, and it was not entirely based on acting skills and being ugly.

The feeling of guilt suddenly filled the girl's heart. Finally, she still remembered the occasion, so she adjusted after a few seconds, still smiling and looking at Jennifer: "So, do you still want to try?"

"Of course, why not?" Jennifer only thought for a few seconds before giving the answer.

"Okay, then it's settled." Of course Angela knew what the other party was thinking, and her name was still very attractive.She then added with a smile: "But there is one thing I want to explain first, you know I've been busy all the time, so the script may not be finished until the second half of next year."

"It's okay, I'll wait for you." Jennifer didn't say anything extra, she nodded and agreed immediately.

In fact, Angela can complete the outline in the "treasure box" and find a screenwriter to add details, but that would be a bit unfair. Since there is a competition, of course she should write the script herself.Anyway, the scripts of "Little Miss Sunshine" and several other films that I have to finish by myself have been finalized, and I don't have any other script plans for next year, so it is enough to use the rest time to write.

"I really envy Jenny," Brad deliberately showed a look of taste at this time, "Can I play the leading actor?"

"Frankly speaking, I don't think you are suitable, Bligh, this is a somewhat nonsensical comedy role." Regardless of whether Brad was testing or really joking, Angela still refused.

Of course, she didn't say anything dead: "There will be opportunities to cooperate in the future, Bligh."

For Brad, it doesn't matter whether it's the truth or a courtesy, even if Angela's words are really polite, sometimes the polite words will come true.Of course, there was such a judgment because he didn't know what the girl was thinking.

As the guests were seated, the film finally started to be screened. Although it had been watched countless times while directing and editing, Angela still appreciated it carefully.

Although the overall framework of the story has not changed, she has put in a lot of effort in the use of the camera and the montage technique. It can be said that while learning, it is also a test of what she has learned in the past few years.

Choosing to direct this movie was the right thing to do, I learned what I wanted.Looking at the beautiful pictures of Montana on the big screen, Angela said silently in her heart.

It is true that the implicit taste of the whole movie made her handle it quite well. There are reasons for the original version and reasons for the actors, but it is more because of her outstanding performance, although the girl herself did not realize it.

After Ennis said "I swear" through tears, the heart-pounding guitar sounded, and the camera slowly faded to black.Suddenly there were sniffling sounds one after another in the movie hall, and there were one or two faint sobs.

After the lights were turned on, there was silence for a few seconds, and there was warm applause in the auditorium.Everyone stood up and applauded the girl in the front row. The eyes of the two male members of GLAAD were even red. The feeling of sadness touched everyone present.

"I want to say, you did a great job, Ms. Angela, this movie is great!" Ms. Anne Prow did not hesitate to praise her, although this was the first time she met Angela.

The girl smiled and greeted familiar people, accepted their congratulations and compliments, and then took several actors to the hall to hold a press conference.Although the reporters who had been waiting for a long time had sharp questions and were aggressive as if they had taken the wrong medicine, Angela was a little annoyed but not afraid at all, and she was ready to say what she had to say.

"This film is not a cry for gay rights, nor is it a conservative observation of gays. As I said earlier, I am just telling a story, a story of love that transcends everything, regardless of gender or identity."

Even so, some reporters still asked mercilessly: "Don't you think that you are a huge banner?"

"I've said everything I need to say. I can't help if someone thinks too much." Angela spread her hands helplessly. "I have the freedom to create, and people also have the freedom to think, don't they?"

While the reporters were so aggressive that the next day a newspaper suggested that normal people shouldn't see the movie, most critics were lukewarm.

The views of the liberals are more intense, and they are basically applauding "Brokeback Mountain".

"It's a miracle of young people, the average age of actors and directors is just over 20, but whether it's Jack Gyllenshire or Heath Ledger, or Michelle Williams and Sarah Michele El Gellar has mastered her roles very well. Especially the two male characters, they are completely integrated into their own feelings, making people completely unaware of their age! As for the Miss Director, I think there is no need to say anything gone."

"Gay westerns? Sorry, that short title is both inaccurate and ambiguous, but it's undeniable that we really can't pinpoint the film. Or, as Angela puts it, it's just about A love story. The precise details, the hidden emotions make this film full of sad ambiguity."

As for the conservatives, although they are very unhappy, they can only cautiously say some irrelevant things.

"Angela once again proved her ability as a director. Every picture seems to be printed out as a postcard. The insight and control of emotions in the whole film once again fully demonstrated her delicate side. In addition, the film produced by her personally Great soundtrack, and it's a really good movie if you overlook some things."

Not that they want to say it, but... As Ed said before, the topic of homosexuality is as hot a potato as racism. Journalists may express their opinions freely, but they cannot.

Especially well-known film critics, once they are labeled as homophobic, although they will not lose their jobs, it is absolutely inevitable that they will be protested in various ways, and they may be embarrassed if they are not careful.And even if a reporter wanted to express his homophobia, he had to spend a lot of effort in choosing words and sentences.

Tabloids may be able to speak freely and nonsense, but the reporters of big newspapers must be very careful, otherwise, if gay organizations protest and demonstrate against the newspaper, it will definitely be a matter of great distress.

Even so, it does not mean that the conservatives have nothing to do. You can protest and I can protest. On the second day of the premiere, several religious groups mobilized tens of thousands of people to call on movie theaters in various states to boycott the release of "Brokeback Mountain".

It's a pity that it's 2001 and many gay organizations are much more radical than they were a few years ago!
