239. Chapter 239 Postpone
"...The characters played by Laura Hurley and Naomi Watts fully demonstrate the risks of Hollywood. Their prototypes are many girls like Rita Hayworth, wearing clothes that can show themselves slim and sexy, and in Hollywood expecting themselves to realize their dreams. Naomi Watts, with a pair of bright eyes, is particularly outstanding, and is free to transform in inconsistent naivety and worldly style, and performs very well in the audition of the drama in the play.
This is a movie that needs to give up on yourself. If you need logic, please see something else. "Mulholland Road" directly acts on emotions, likes music, likes dreams, likes this kind of unconnected but full of metaphorical narrative, likes dreams, you can walk into the cinema and tell your friends after the end that I watched the strangest movie last night, like having a strange dream..."
After reading this, Sean put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at Naomi who was still writing and drawing with some dissatisfaction: "Hey, are you listening?"
"Is there any problem?" Naomi replied without raising her head, but from the corner of her curled mouth, she was in a good mood now.
"Of course, I'm reading a review of Roger Albert for "Mulholland Road"," Sean said deliberately in an unpleasant tone. "You know, he has always been reserved for David Lynch's movies before this. This time he praised you for being the best performer. Maybe he will be nominated for Best Actress next year."
After "Mulholland Road" brought back a best director to David Lynch in Cannes, it immediately entered the release stage and was released in less than three-digit theaters on October 12.
Despite the silence, the media still gave some reports. After all, this was the work of winning the best director in Cannes, and it was David Lynch's first work after the highly criticized "Lost Highway". The famous film critic Roger Albert naturally also made a comment. Surprisingly, he didn't like Lynch before, but this time he gave a lot of praise, believing that he shot a person's dream very well.
Although "Mulholland Road" has attracted a lot of attention by participating in Cannes, he has become the focus of the focus after being praised by him. Although many viewers complain online that they can't understand it, many cult movie fans also like it very much.
As the heroine, Naomi naturally attracted the attention of many reporters, especially Albert praised her. In the past few days, as long as there is news about "Mulholland Road" in the newspaper, there will definitely be news about her. Naomi's agent, Frederick's old rival, Anna Gordon, seized the opportunity to arrange for her to appear on several targeted talk shows, and found a public relations officer, creating a graceful and strong and unyielding image for her, so she received countless applause, and Sean's prophecy became a reality, so he naturally wanted to come to celebrate.
"I understand." Naomi shrugged at this time and answered lazily.
"That should be happy." Sean spread his hands out of nowhere.
"I've been happy," Naomi stopped the movement in her hand and raised her head, her gray-green eyes with indescribable tenderness. "I've read Albert's article several times."
"Then do you want me to read this report?" Sean immediately picked up his arms, squinted his eyes and looked like he was seeking a crime.
"I just want you to read it to me in person." Naomi replied immediately.
Sean didn't say anything, but looked quietly at Naomi who lowered her head and became busy again. After a while, she got up and walked to her side. She was about to say something, but after seeing what she did, she immediately rolled her eyes: "Is this what I look like in your heart?"
The one placed in front of Naomi was a piece of white paper, and there was a person on it, looking like a man, but one eye was big and the eyes were small, and the hair was painted in circles. The whole picture was terrible. It looked like a human, it was a completely monster, and it was not even as good as a child's graffiti.
"I said I can't draw." Naomi immediately laughed, looking very happy with joy.
"Very happy?" Sean narrowed his eyes and suddenly picked her up from behind.
Naomi screamed, then struggled with laughter. The two of them played intimately for a moment before they hugged each other and sat down again.
"Remember what I said?" Sean said, staring into Naomi's eyes and gently pinching her face.
"Of course, I always remember it." Naomi, who sat on his thigh and changed into his neck, replied tenderly.
"All the suffering has passed, dawn is right in front of her." Sean gently kissed her forehead, "It's a pity that my production company has no good movies now, otherwise you can ask you to play the leading role."
"It's okay, I already have a role, and I'm also the heroine." Naomi said at this time.
"Oh?" Sean was a little surprised. "Can I know the details?"
"Sometimes... what you see is not necessarily the fact, and your judgment is not necessarily true," Naomi said suddenly, with a trace of dazedness flashing across her face, "Just like you, Sean."
"Has happened...what happened?" Sean asked curiously.
"Well... Nicole recommended a character to me, and then I went to the audition and passed." Naomi said briefly.
"Nicole?" Sean first repeated the name she said, then opened his eyes wide, "Are you talking about that Nicole?"
"Yes, it's that Nicole. When she divorced this year, I went to see her comfort her." Naomi sighed, "It's not easy for her."
Sean didn't say anything, and asked tentatively after a while: "So that...before..."
"I'm not sure, after all..." Naomi smiled self-deprecatingly, "As you said, this is a real society, but I think she still has some affection in her heart."
"Maybe." Sean wanted to say something else, but then he thought about how to explain this kind of thing clearly, so he stopped it. "Then what kind of role she recommended to you."
"A horror film," Naomi recalled carefully, "is a horror film remake from Japan. It is said that after the original version was released in Japan, it became extremely scary."
Sean couldn't help but show a strange look. Japanese horror movies have scared people to death. They seemed to have some impression, as if they were called something?
"The movie is called "TheRing". The main content is roughly that there is a videotape circulating everywhere. As long as someone has watched it, he will receive a call and tell the person who has watched the videotape. He will die in seven days." Naomi recalled the plot, "If you want to avoid it, you must copy the videotape and pass it on to others."
Well, after hearing this script, Sean can basically confirm what the name should be? Curse... Resentment? Or midnight... The ringtone is coming? It should be the latter, there is a Ring in the name. Speaking of which, remakes Japanese horror films seem to be a good choice. Although plasma films will never go out of date, Europe and the United States have begun to experience aesthetic fatigue from this type of horror film. Remakes some Japanese or Asian-style horror films that use psychological hints as the source of thrillers and fears should be able to receive some miraculous effects.
Although there are differences in aesthetics between the East and the West, Asian-style horror films will not occupy the market for too long, if they can be ahead, it should be fine to make a profit. In addition to this midnight... ringtone, Sean still remembers that there is a Japanese horror film called "Crime" that also seems to have a great response, and you can buy the remake rights. In this way, there are also movies in which Katie plays the heroine.
But in this way, the women who are currently circling around me, Naomi, Jordanna, and Katie, are all heroines in horror movies. This is really... so interesting. It seems that only the heroine escaped in "The Texas Chainsaw Madness". I don't know what the heroes of "Midnight Bell" and "The Curse" are like. If... ahem, it shouldn't be fulfilled.
I don’t know what she would say when she got the flop right to find Katie. Jordanna was very proud on the phone.
"I promised to play the heroine because I think I really want to continue playing, so I can try this role, do you understand?" She said that, and the implication was that it was not because you promised. It was so cute. When Sean really wanted to press her on the bed and violated her, he heard her say that.
"Hey, Sean!" A hand shook in front of him at this moment, and then Naomi's face with dissatisfaction and suspicion appeared in front of her.
As soon as she saw this, Sean knew it was bad. Women have always had a very sensitive feeling in this regard.
"I'm listening," Sean said quietly, "I seem to have heard this movie, but the scary statement is too exaggerated. Of course, the movie should be very good, so I'm thinking, maybe I can remake a few steps in Japanese horror movies, you know, my production company is expanding and I want to start with small-cost movies."
Speaking of this, he sighed intentionally: "If I had known this, I would have bought the remake of "TheRing" and asked you to be the heroine."
"Let's talk about it later, there will definitely be a chance." Naomi then laughed, and her previous suspicion dissipated a little.
"Let's change the topic, Nami," Sean seized the opportunity and said again, "Say something else, for example, I sing you the song "YouRaiseMeUp" that I'm recording. You've heard the clip before, and it's a nice song."
"Oh?" Naomi laughed, "Why?"
"You really want to say it out? You know what it is..." Sean grabbed his head and looked pitiful.
"If you don't say it, how can I know what you are talking about?" Naomi's eyes were almost crescent.
"Okay OK, I said..." Sean raised his hand to surrender, "I'm so depressed lately. Two movies that have been filmed have been released on a scheduled date. I'm so disappointed."
