248. Chapter 248 Can only go wrong
The dull atmosphere hovered in the quiet bedroom, and the thick curtains were pulled together, making the light in the room very dark, but it was not too dark. The curtains were not completely pulled up, and the scenery outside was cast from time to time in the gap, which was very gloomy, as if it was about to rain. After all, this is London where there is rain at any time.
The two people on the bed moved at this time. They were all wearing clothes, but they seemed a little messy, as if they had a dispute before. The woman turned her back to the man, her hands were weakly closed, and she looked ahead in confusion. The man put his arms around the woman's waist, hugged her tightly in his arms, and buried her head on her shoulders.
"Sorry, Kate." The man said softly after a long time, and kissed her on the back of her neck.
The woman trembled and didn't say anything. After a while, she slowly turned around. There was a hint of sadness in her gray-blue eyes: "Do you love me, Sean?"
"Of course." Sean replied affirmatively.
"Then why are you coming to hurt me?" The sadness in Kate's eyes became even stronger.
"I can't do it," Sean's voice was very low, but his eyes were firm when he looked at her. "I'm not that generous, I'm very selfish, I must fight for what I want, instead of hiding in the distance and silently blessing me. I know you won't leave your husband, and I know you won't be with me again, so I chose to give in, but I won't keep retreating, Kate, absolutely not..."
Kate closed his eyes and fell silent, sighing softly, with indescribable helplessness: "I hate you, Sean..."
"It's okay, as long as I can see you and hold you, it doesn't matter if you hate me." Sean said with a sigh, but his voice was still firm.
Kate was not talking. After a while, she suddenly opened her eyes and stepped forward to kiss Sean's lips. Then the two of them sucked it gently and slowly, and finally untied their clothes and blended into one.
"I'm going back, next time... let's talk about it." Kate, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding his bra with his backhand, said without looking back.
Sean didn't say anything, just leaned against the head of the bed and looked at her back silently. Her graceful figure did not leave any traces of giving birth, and she recovered quite well.
After dressing, Kate took his stuff, looked back at Sean, and then hurriedly left the hotel room.
Listening to the sound of closing the door from outside, Sean, who had not been moved, then sighed lightly, and a complicated look flashed across his face. After finally pestering him, Kate agreed to get together at least once a month. Unexpectedly, she became pregnant soon after. At that time, Sean knew that there would be troubles in the future. People's hearts are always changing, and the changes after pregnancy are even more complicated.
This is why, he insisted on sending Kate out at that time, and even threatened to go to her house, and then promised not to have physical contact and just chatting. Even so, Kate's mind changed. From her low profile in front of the media, we can see that she really valued her family. If Sean had not seized the opportunity to leave a deep impression on her, tempted her to cross the line, and then she was stubborn and lingered her face, then she could not be like this until now.
So, even after giving birth, Kate still refused to let him touch himself, obviously intending to leverage the foundation little by little. So he then attended the premiere of "Lord of the Rings", and Sean made an appointment with her to a hotel a few blocks away. Not only did he have a big fight, but he almost pressed her on the bed to make it hard.
Of course, Sean did not do this in the end because he did love Kate very much. Maybe he was moved at first because she was very similar to Helena, but now he is indeed fascinated by her. Whether it is the cold and beautiful temperament of persistence or the weak and helpless pleading, they constantly teased Sean's heartstrings and allowed him to have her to protect her.
So he finally stopped, so he refused to let go, but fortunately, at least Kate still had feelings for him, and finally compromised. In fact, now, he also knew that he had been too much at the beginning. If he really thought about Kate, he shouldn't have tempted her. However, there are some things that cannot be turned back, and he wouldn't be able to let go at this time.
"This is a mistake, but I can only go on." Sean whispered to himself.
After returning to Los Angeles from the UK, more than a week later, the first part of "The Lord of the Rings" was finally released in North America. With the help of his parent company Warner, the new line contacted 3,300 theaters, and then released in North America on December 18. The first weekend directly won nearly 50 million box office from the 21st to the 23rd, while the total box office in one week exceeded 75 million!
Such achievements can no longer be described as good. As an article in the Hollywood Reporter said, Peter Jackson, a director from New Zealand, successfully brought the most famous novel to the big screen with his unique delicacy and patience, and Hollywood will inevitably set off a magical epic storm.
Therefore, even though he revised many plots and some places even conflicted with the original work, he still won the praise of 99% of book fans.
For a time, Wood, who played Frodo, Motson, Aragon, and Sir McKellen, who played Gandalf, were all quite popular. Of course, the most popular one was Bloom, who played Leglas. Even "Empire" was still reporting a small joke: Want to listen to the girls' screams? It's very simple, just Leglas will just take a bow.
As for Shaun, who plays Hardir, he was once again ignored. No matter how clever the makeup artist is, no matter how handsome or beautiful he is, he still can't splash too much if he plays less. At best, movie fans say a few words on the Internet, "Shaun actually has such a handsome time."
Well, it doesn't matter. Sean doesn't care about this. Anyway, the one released next year should have enough scenes. Such important scenes can never be reduced to 8 to 10 minutes, right? So watch them then.
Then, his eyes fell on a new movie, an independent film previewed after Christmas, "Dance of Death".
"The director did not give this movie a trace of light, and only a little warmth was torn to pieces after Leticia discovered that Hank was the one who executed her husband. Although the final shot was that the two sat side by side on the steps, Hank said over and over again that it would be better, but we all know what the ending would be. The director portrayed the pain caused by racism to the fullest, and the depressing atmosphere was from beginning to end, with no redemption and no hope." This was a comment published in the New York Times.
In short, there are constant praises, and no media critic will make mistakes in political correctness, so the ratings are quite high. Even if someone picks mistakes, they just start from the technical aspects, such as narrative structure, rhythm control, etc., or acting skills.
"Halley Berry gave her best performance at the moment, which was reserved but full of explosive power, perfectly expressing the inner panic of losing her husband and child. The role of Leticia seemed to be tailor-made for her; but in comparison, Billy Bob Thornton was undoubtedly more outstanding, perhaps because the character itself has many things to play with. His performance is full of tension and powerful aura. He gives people the feeling that it is the protagonist Hank, not someone else.
However, the most outstanding character in the whole movie is Sean Don, who only appeared for more than 20 minutes. We all know what kind of miracles he created. When he was the leading actor of "The Genius Ripley", no one knew that he was only 18 years old. After the news was confirmed, "The God of Death is Coming" was later criticized as not like a high school student at all. But in this movie, his role as Sony gave people a very surprising surprise. This character does not have many lines, and most of the time he is performed by body language and facial expressions.
But this was an easy thing for Sean. His grasp of details even exceeded that of Thornton. During the suicide scene, we could clearly see his transformation from shock to depression to anger. The corners of his mouth were particularly twitching, which made us feel very clearly that the character was at a critical point. When he sat down with a gun and said to his father, "But I love you" at that moment, he calmed down completely, but as the audience, we realized at that moment that his life had come to the camera!
This performance may not be a textbook classic, but it is quite outstanding throughout the movie. Sean Tang's acting skills are once again fully displayed, allowing us to see another side that we have never seen in "The Genius Ripley", which is not available in "Detective Illusion" and "The Eleven Arhats". If "Dance of Death" is going to hit the Oscars, maybe Sean should be nominated for the Best Supporting Actor."
This is a comment from a film critic named Egg White. Sean likes it very much. Yes, it is because of his later description of his acting skills. No one doesn't like being praised, right?
In fact, there are many other comments about this point, but this Egg White undoubtedly has to say more in detail, and is the first to predict that he may get a nomination for the best supporting actor.
Sean doesn't remember how many Oscar nominations have been received in "Dance of Death", but his intuition tells him that the movie should be available at the Oscars next year and is likely to become a dark horse. In fact, since "Dance of Death" is selected for preview after Christmas, the goal is already very obvious. With this politically correct theme that no one dares to touch, the Oscars have to give a nomination.
"What do you think? Do you think you can get the best actress nomination?" Sean, wearing boxer shorts, stood beside the bed, smiling at the black woman leaning against the bedside, raised the newspaper in her hand.
"Who knows?" Halle Berry, who looked lazy, was wearing pajamas, but his collar was wide open, and a pair of soft, which was quite shaped, was exposed to the air, making him look quite firm.
