298. Chapter 298 Shooting Incident
After the kiss scene before the expedition, at Sean's suggestion, Minghella thought of a special way to make Nicole wear a women's wide-brimmed hat unique to that era. In this way, just move the camera and change part of the lens
If you shoot from behind the hat, you won't see the specific situation of the two people. When editing in the later stage, Sean and the others only need to touch their lips and occasionally move a few times.
So, these few scenes were done. As for whether the two were acting or really kissing, no one knew, but the atmosphere on the set became somewhat different.
Anyway, that day, Sean and Nicole found a room to have a private chat together, and many people saw it. Then Sean came out with a weird look, and they also saw it, saying that the two of them had nothing to do with each other.
If it didn't happen, it would be hard for people to believe it. Therefore, after this scene, some people who were more gossipy even made a private bet on when Sean would get Nicole into bed.
Well, Sean did sleep with a woman, a woman on the set, but it was definitely not Nicole.
"So, in your eyes, I'm just that kind of woman with a bookish temperament?" A lazy voice came up from the bed, her beautiful body lying on her side, not caring about the quilt sliding to the top of her thighs, her beautiful eyes blinking
He looked at the man who was getting dressed without blinking.
"You have to admit, the role of Evelin fits you perfectly." Sean smiled, "And it's quite charming."
Then, he changed the topic: "But this does not mean that you are not good at playing the role of Ruby. In fact, it is precisely because you were too dazzling and beautiful in "Tomb Raider" before, so Ruby is
The role can better showcase your acting skills. I believe that after the movie is released, people will only praise you highly."
Rachel Weisz, who was on the bed, laughed, then slowly sat up: "You know, Sean, you are a very good lover and a good one-night stand."
"Thank you." Sean, who was already dressed, shrugged, then sat on the edge of the bed and leaned over, "Then, how about kissing me goodbye?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Rachel hugged his arm and took the initiative to kiss Sean. Then their lips and tongues entangled fiercely until their desire was almost stirred up again before they separated.
"Last night was crazy enough, that's it." Rachel said breathlessly after pushing him away.
"Okay, I do have something to do." Sean was a little reluctant to leave. This bookish woman screamed in ecstasy.
However, no matter how long a one-night stand is, it must end, not to mention that he had a lot of fun with Rachel last night, so he stood up and prepared to leave.
"By the way, Sean," Rachel suddenly stopped him, and then smiled slyly, "Tell me before you leave, what is your relationship with Nicole?"
Sean rolled his eyes and rushed out of the door. This problem had been bothering him for a long time. To be honest, he didn't expect that at that time, he would actually do that out of anger, and it was very natural.
, after the reaction, it was impossible to make amends, so I had to leave first.
Even so, after coming out, Sanders immediately asked: "You and Nicole have nothing to do, right?"
Although it was a question, the tone sounded like affirmation. Sean could only spread his hands: "What can I do? Don't forget, she is Nami and she is a close friend."
Sanders didn't speak anymore. There were some words that didn't need to be said because saying too much would be useless, but the raised eyebrows were clearly warning Sean: Just know.
Well, this is indeed a problem, a real problem. It is impossible to say that I have no feelings for Nicole. She is enchanting when she should be enchanting, and simple when she should be simple. With Sean's nature, it is impossible not to stop being tempted.
But she is also Naomi's best friend. No matter what they have experienced before, it is true that after Naomi became famous in "Mulholland Drive", Nicole recommended her to be the heroine of the American version of "The Ring"
.
Therefore, no matter what, he cannot have a substantive relationship with the other party.
However, due to various reasons, many places were a little over the line, not to mention the real kiss before, so he was itching and unbearable, so he took the opportunity of returning to Los Angeles with Rachel to get this elegant beauty.
Rachel had to go back to Los Angeles to rest because she had no roles for the time being, and Sean also asked for a temporary leave of absence from the crew because of his own affairs, so he invited her to fly with him on the private jet he rented. The two had communicated several times before and used it together.
Several meals, but every time Rachel rejected his hint, until this time.
They talked about English literature, classical music, and stage plays, all the way from the plane to Rachel's boudoir.
Rolled around all night.
Of course, both sides also know that this is just a one-night stand after the feeling comes, with no commitment and no nostalgia.
After coming out of Rachel's house, Sean rushed back to his own home and prepared for the afternoon. Sanders didn't say anything. Whether as an assistant or as a friend, he had already reminded him a lot.
Now, it's Sean's business how to do it.
A little later, Sean took a car and arrived at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills. Someone on the fourth floor was holding a charity auction, and many people participating were well-known. In addition to big-name stars, major film companies
people, and many celebrities.
Fox was willing to spend a lot of money. Sean had attended such gatherings many times, but now he had to look at the lively and crowded hall that had not yet begun and sighed in his heart. But having said that, seize this kind of party.
Isn't it the usual approach of these big studios to create hype when they get the chance?
"Frankly speaking, Sean, we should thank you." David Zach walked over at this time, followed by Joe Schumacher. "If it weren't for your suggestion, it's hard to say what would have turned out this time.
."
"Really? Without you, I'm afraid there would be some trouble this time." Schumacher also nodded.
"I only did what I should do." Sean said humbly with a smile, and then noticed the look of regret on the director's face.
Are you sorry? Of course, but I have already said it, it is your choice not to let the sniper be killed by the police.
The thing is, when time entered October, when Sean was still filming "Cold Mountain" in Canada, several sensational shooting incidents occurred in Maryland and Washington, DC from October 2 to around October 20.
.Some people were armed with rifles and killed people aimlessly everywhere between Maryland and Washington. In the past half a month, 10 people were killed and 2 others were injured.
People were panicked for a while, and people in Washington, D.C., and the surrounding areas were unable to leave their homes. Those who had to go out were cautious every time they went to a gas station to refuel. Even children began to receive training in lying down and covering.
Finally, this group of American police officers were not completely idle. After wasting a lot of taxpayers' money, they arrested two criminals, and the endless media reports came to an end for the time being. But it is not over yet, because from now on
From the beginning, the news spread to other places, and "Sniper Phone Booth" was one of the affected ones.
The content of this movie is that a man was killed by a pervert and forced to play a cat and mouse game in a phone booth with a sniper rifle. The reporters' ability to associate is quite rich. It has only been a few days since the shooting incident in Washington completely broke out.
, someone contacted this movie and claimed that the criminal committed the murder after watching "Sniper Phone Booth", and some people actually believed it.
There was no way, who caused this incident to cause panic. Fortunately, Fox came out to put out the fire immediately and refuted this ridiculous news through the channels and connections at his disposal.
This had a certain effect. Initially, the person who posted the news had no evidence, but soon a discussion started in the media as to whether movies like "Phone Booth" encourage people to commit crimes. This is an old topic,
In any country or region, the relationship between film and television productions and crime rates is often discussed, and this time is no exception.
"Sniper Phone Booth" is very lucky. Because of Sean's original suggestion, the producer changed the ending and did not let the perverted sniper stand on a moral level to preach at the end and dress himself up as righteous. Otherwise, we will definitely face more now.
But "Sniper Phone Booth" was also very unlucky. The producer believed that if it was completely revised, the entire script might be readjusted, which would be too troublesome. In the end, it would just make the criminals lose their moral height, but they could escape from the police.
As a result, it is now inseparable from the Washington shooting incident.
If the modifications are completely based on Sean's opinions, then the producers can give a tough response after the shooting. Why criminals in real life go around killing people has nothing to do with the movie. It's a pity that they are lazy, or they don't want to be led by Sean.
, no one expected that something like this would happen, it was really shocking.
What’s interesting is that it has been in theaters for 12 weeks. Thanks to Sean’s popularity and the special attractions of the movie, “Sniper Phone Booth” has already won more than 60 million at the box office in North America. There is no doubt that compared with the investment alone,
If so, it should be a profit. Originally, "Sniper Phone Booth", which was about to be offline after such a thing happened, and was only being screened in more than 100 theaters, should have been withdrawn directly, but not only was it not withdrawn, it went up anyway.
Got some!
Well, after all, although the incident was serious and caused panic, it was basically around Washington, D.C., and people in other states did not feel the pressure. Moreover, the ten people who died before and after did not die at the same time, so it was not shocking at all.
In addition, Fox kept clarifying the relationship between the incident and the movie, which was tantamount to another piece of publicity, so many curious people couldn't help but want to go into the theater to find out, thus driving up the box office.
Chapter completed!
