Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 522 Continue to study

As many people love you, there will be as many people hate you - this is of course a joke, but in fact it should be: as much as someone loves you, someone will hate you so much!Everyone escaped from this circle, and Angela was no exception.

Although "American Beauty" and "The Pianist" have established her status as a quasi-master director, and the consecutive Oscar nominations for best director and winning the Palme d'Or have consolidated this position, there are still some people who try their best to find Angie. Pull success...behind the scenes!It's just that no matter what speculation they put forward, there is no tangible evidence to prove it, so these things have always been heard as gossip.So in the eyes of these guys, Angela is terrible from head to toe.

Hypocrisy, pretentiousness, self-satisfaction and self-satisfaction are all put on her head, which means "if you can't beat you, you can just say a few words".Fortunately, this kind of situation often occurs on the Internet, after all, no one there knows that you are a dog.And no matter how unscrupulous the tabloids are, there are certain things that cannot be said indiscriminately.

Of course, this does not mean that the tabloids have nothing to say, after all, it is their housekeeping skills to talk about pictures and even fabricate some scandals and gossips out of thin air.It's just that these are all small things. Unless Angela causes some scandal and they have real evidence, the fabricated things will only become things that are thrown away after seeing it.

But Angela seldom goes to nightclubs or other public places, and rarely holds parties, either at home, at school or on set.As for the gossip, apart from Jonathan, who was admitted before, she has no other boyfriends, and the men she contacts the most are the staff and actors of various production crews. Even if she wants to hype up her gossip, she is a bit helpless—think about that Two really bad scandals.

By the way, hyping her as a gay seems to be a good topic, and she herself admits that she will not refuse gay love.However, again, if you want to do this, you need to have tangible evidence.

So now that the online public opinion has not yet reached a certain level, and the tabloids lack hype content, the criticism from the mainstream media is the main force against Angela.For example, those criticisms of her new album released before.

And now, with "A Beautiful Mind" starting to promote them, they've taken another chance.

This movie is different from the two previous ones directed by Angela. Although she already had a reputation as a cutting-edge director when "American Beauty" was released, in the eyes of many film critics, Miss Genius is only good at showing off skills, not at all. To think that movie would have such a huge response.In addition, the film reflects the potential problems of the entire society and has received great resonance from the vast majority of the middle class. In the end, they can only sing their praises honestly. Even if the criticism is based on some leftovers, it will not be effective.As for "The Pianist", the events of last year are still vivid in their memory, and it's hard for them to forget that slap in the face of Miss Genius.

But "A Beautiful Mind" is different. It is not easy to make a biographical film that is well-known--"The Pianist" is an exception. Spielman only picks out the experience of that special period to present to readers. Some aspects have also gone beyond the scope of biographical literature, and there have been public opinions in the West during that period.And "A Beautiful Mind" spans decades, covering most of John Nash's life time, which is like that sentence: The more you say, the more mistakes you make.

"...I don't want to be disrespectful to Mr. Nash. He is an undisputed mathematical genius. But at the same time, it must be admitted that he is also a huge controversy. Although the formula that genius equals madman is not universal, but in Nash We can clearly see this in Mister. So for Ms. Angela, who is also famous as a genius, how to choose objectively has become a question worth considering. After all, everyone has different perspectives Same……"

—Clover Lamm, Chicago Tribune.

Although this Mr. Lahm has always been known for his merciless, bitter and sarcastic style, no one will buy it, but in this article, he only vaguely reveals that he doesn't think Angela can balance the controversy well. View.Compared with his previous articles, he is already very reserved, and people who are familiar with him even think that it was written by someone else under his name.

It's normal. Anyway, this movie has only released a trailer so far, and there is still some time before the release.And Angela has given people too many surprises, especially the slap in the face last year was loud and loud.So if you want to write an article with a prophetic nature, you must consider this issue.

Of course, this is just the beginning. After "A Beautiful Mind" is released, they will definitely make further criticisms. At that time, they will definitely not have so many scruples.Fortunately, Angela was somewhat prepared for this, because the people who were invited to watch the movie after the trial screening were basically divided into two factions.

One group thinks it is quite good, and the story of Nash from genius to madman and then sober with the help of his wife and friends is very touching and inspiring; while the other group thinks that this is a bit too distorted and glorified Nash, although It's a good story, but it's a little out of place for a biopic -- especially one featuring controversial characters.However, even if the differences between the two parties are relatively large, they all admit that Russell's acting skills are very good, and he has a completely different image from Maximus who starred in the first half of the year.The supporting roles, whether it is Ed Harris, Paul Bettany, or Dakota Fanning, are all excellent, and Kate, who plays Alicia, is not at a disadvantage for Russell.

"Whether it's the interpretation of the characters or the narration of the story, this movie is pretty good. The only problem is the biographical movie and the controversy over Mr. Nash." Angela concluded in this way.

"So what?" Ed, who was sitting on a high-backed chair behind his desk, spread his hands, "The audience buys tickets to go to the cinema to see a story, a story that can scare, move, inspire, and delight them. Since you have told the story of this controversial figure very well, why worry? This is a movie, not a documentary."

"I know, in fact, when dealing with this story, I have tried my best to avoid Professor Nash's inconclusive controversies, but..." Angela said here, curling her lips and did not continue.It's just that I'm used to being praised by everyone, and some people are not used to facing the situation where praise and criticism coexist at the same time-especially those criticisms that are nitpicking.

"This is actually a good thing, just like last year when everyone questioned whether you could direct "The Pianist". Not only did we not lose money because of it, but we made a small profit. So for a movie, as long as it is liked by the audience, Then the more people quarrel, the better." Ed shook his head and said, with a businessman's true colors.

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Angela smiled and waved her hands, and changed the topic. "I think John and the others should be very happy. I finally directed a movie that fits the style of Pixar."

Ed couldn't help laughing: "Of course, of course, if you ask to direct an animated film in the future, he will definitely not refuse."

"That's a good idea," Angela nodded seriously, "I'll take the quiz seriously."

Indeed, it would be a good thing for the film if the two views were at odds.

Angela sat in the car thinking this way on the way back.A lot of topics means that the attention is high enough, and the box office and influence will naturally increase.

Her heart suddenly moved, if she wanted to accomplish her goal, this was indeed a good way.If there are no major accidents according to the plan, I will have enough influence, and if it causes huge controversy... Of course, the prerequisite is that the movie itself must be good enough.

Angela suddenly sighed softly, don't care about the deliberate criticisms that may come out after the release of "A Beautiful Mind" because this movie still hasn't jumped out of the frame of the original version, although she also added her own thoughts and ideas. Skill.

I still learned a lot and still have more to learn.The girl said to herself silently in her heart, then what I need next is a group play, a movie that allows me to learn the shooting skills of a group play with multi-line narration, and at the same time ensure that I can be nominated for an Oscar for best director—— ——If the film academy still refuses to give her this statuette this year.

"Why are you frowning? Although you're still pretty like this, if you do too much, you won't be able to keep your smooth forehead." Kate, who was driving, looked at the rearview mirror and asked.

"There is such a small problem." Angela smiled after recovering.

"May I know?" Kate blinked in the rearview mirror.

"Oh, of course, I am very dissatisfied with Russell. When everyone agrees that his performance is very good, his eyebrows are beaming as if no one else can see it." Angela said seriously, "But my Kate is different. Yes, you sat there dignifiedly, smiled subtly, and nodded politely to everyone who praised you. Oh, it's perfect."

"Is that so?" Kate raised her head and thought for a while, "How do I remember that I was also elated?"

"It's okay, even if you're elated, it's a perfect elation!" Angela waved her hands vigorously, and then leaned behind Kate's seat: "Where are we going next, I'll go back to Boston tomorrow, and I'll have fun in time."

"Let me think... Angie!" Kate suddenly yelled angrily, "I'm driving!"

"It's okay, just slow down." Angela replied with a smile, the hand stretched out in front of the seat deliberately increased the strength, and then kissed Kate on the back of the neck.

"Beware of the paparazzi..." Kate's face flushed a little, and she said something in a low voice through gritted teeth.

"It's okay, they are all going to the bodyguard's car now, no one will disturb us." Angela said hehe, followed by a sudden heartbeat, and whispered a few words in Kate's ear.

"This is your plan?" Kate glanced at the rearview mirror, "Aren't you afraid of my revenge?"

Angela didn't speak, but squeezed her hands heavily.Kate snorted softly and immediately turned the steering wheel, driving the car to another block.
