Taking a girl home is a technical job, which requires long-term planning, and the plan is not unchanged. Maybe Sean now says Katie is the most suitable, but in the end he took Jordanna and even Naomi home. Of course, it is also possible that Sean will never take a girl home. Who can tell me this kind of thing? He is a playboy. He had a few girls coming to the door to ask for answers in high school, so let's talk about it later.

After Christmas Eve, Sean left San Francisco and returned to Los Angeles. It was not that he didn't want to stay for too long, but mainly because the premiere of "Cold Mountain" was scheduled for Christmas, and as the leading actor, he must attend.

For this movie, relying on the scandal between Sean and Nicole, Miramax hyped up a lot of momentum. In addition to general promotional techniques, such as trailers and posters, such as "The movies that made Nicole Kidman and Sean Don spark a spark" and "The male and female protagonists are really doing fake dramas" are circulating everywhere under Weinstein's arrangement. Although Mingla doesn't like it, he has no say in the distribution and can only turn a blind eye.

Under this kind of momentum, there will naturally be many people who like gossip who want to see the true appearance of the movie, especially the guy who was very curious about the scandal in the first half of the year. He really wanted to know what exactly caused Nicole and Sean. Not only were they who had this idea, but their respective fans were also full of curiosity and doubts. Whether they thought they should be together or not, the movie had not been released yet, but they were quite popular.

But it would be different if it were critics. Many critics who participated in the preview gave "Lengshan" a low score.

"The pace is as slow as ever, and although the scene is much bigger, Mingla has not taken her own routine." said a film critic.

"Minggra wants to show the cruelty of the war, but what the audience can see is the emotional entanglement between the male and female protagonists." This is how a reporter saw it.

"It's too long, and although there are a few good periods, it doesn't give me enough patience to watch it." This is what an ordinary person who participated in the preview but left midway.

Of course, some people think it is good. For example, Roger Albert, who specially participated in the preview for Weinstein's face, felt that although the plot is indeed a bit long, the overall quality is still very high. Not only are Sean and Nicole's acting skills remarkable, but many supporting roles have some highlights.

"Although I can't reveal too many plots, as a literary and artistic film, Mingla still fulfills her duties. The cruelty of war, the beauty of human nature, and the yearning for her hometown or hope are all vividly expressed. Sean and Nicole's performances are also very exciting, especially Sean, you can't feel that he is a 22-year-old young man. But the plain rhythm, as one of Mingla's old problems, has not been properly resolved in this movie, and the parallel description of the two lines of the male and female protagonists is not novel. It cannot be said that this is a big regret." Albert wrote this in his article and finally gave a three-and-a-half-star evaluation.

In fact, his comments were quite pertinent, and the public opinion after the trial was also praised and belittled. However, the media, which mainly attracts attention, was no longer interested in maintaining an objective position when reporting, even if it was relatively objective.

"Although many people are looking forward to "Cold Mountain", I have to remind them that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Although Anthony Mingla's "The Patient in the UK" and "The Genius Ripley" have achieved remarkable results, it does not mean that "Cold Mountain" can be the same. This movie, which costs nearly 80 million, is the largest investment since its founding. It took four months to travel around Virginia, Canada and Romania, but the final result is hard to say.

He is too obsessed with real scenes and big-name stars. According to reliable information, Miramax spent 15 million to invite Nicole to play the heroine of "Cold Mountain". Although Sean's pay is not specific, it should not be much lower. His best movie, "The Patient in the UK", has a global box office of only 230 million yuan, and the previous "Genius Ripley" was less than at least 100 million yuan. If "Cold Mountain" does not make changes that can attract audiences, it is very likely to fail." A newspaper's argument is quite pessimistic.

This is pretty good. Although the argument is a bit far-fetched, at least it is meaningful. Some tabloids without scruples made a big fuss: "From the invitation of Sean Tang as the male lead, this movie inevitably fails. Maybe he is a genius actor. Even if he successfully plays Tom Ripley, Inman and Ripley have an essential difference, and this essential difference is destined to Sean not be able to control this role."

The so-called essential difference is nothing more than that of Inman is older than Ripley. As for why the older Inman is more difficult to play than Ripley, then it's just a casual remark.

“Inman’s inner world is richer.”

“Inman participated in the war.”

“Inman has seen more ugly things.”

Wait, anyway, as long as you think about it, it always has something to do with it. The reporters' imagination has a qualitative leap in it. So later, even the reason for "Inman loves Aida deeply" came out, because Sean is a playboy, and he can't know how to love a woman deeply...

In short, in a word, Mingla's blind activation of Sean is a huge mistake, and this huge mistake will ruin the movie "Cold Mountain".

"In other words, Martin Scorsese's eyes were blind, too." Sean muttered.

"What are you talking about?" The reporter holding a microphone outside the fence immediately asked loudly.

"I'll say it again," Sean, who was slightly distracted, immediately restrained his emotions and smiled specifically used on the red carpet and premiere. "Tony is an excellent director. I'm very happy to work with him again. This movie will inevitably be a wonderful work."

He originally wanted to say that this movie might have some flaws, but it would still be a wonderful work, but then he thought, if he really said that, these guys might be distorted as: the male protagonist is not optimistic about the movie he starred in.

This is a big offensive thing. Although he is not very optimistic in his heart, it is definitely stupid to say it bluntly. These guys can make up the reason why he is a playboy, so it is impossible to play a good role as a affectionate man. Who knows how they can perform after they grasp this sentence?

What's more, he just found a way to deal with the New York Post a little bit. Although the other party has temporarily stopped, God knows whether they will be ready to seize the opportunity to make a ruthless man for themselves.

Even if you explain to Mingla and the others, the other party will inevitably feel a knot in their hearts, so it is better not to give them a chance from the beginning.

However, although Sean was not good at filming and kept singing praises, it does not mean that the reporters have no choice.

"Mr. Tang, why didn't you bring your girlfriend to participate?" a reporter asked suddenly.

Sean couldn't help but be stunned and answered, and the latter asked, "Is it because he was worried that Nicole would feel bad when he saw it? Or was it because you had a quarrel before? Or did you and Nicole not break up, and everything before, including dates with Jessica, was just smoke bombs?"

The reporters around couldn't help but look at the person who asked with contempt. What's the problem? There are smoke bombs. Are there such smoke bombs? And a good opportunity was wasted like this. So straightforward and without any skills. Do you really think that others are fools?

Sean was a little surprised. This guy had a lot of imagination. Although the character was reversed, of course, he couldn't get his words, but it wouldn't be possible to not speak or deny it directly. These guys must have seen his expression.

"This gentleman's thinking is really easy to break," he smiled first, with a clear scent of teasing, and then made a mysterious look, "As for the answer..."

The group immediately stretched their necks.

"You guess slowly." Sean laughed and turned around and walked into the theater.

With this sentence, coupled with the previous sentence "bounced thinking", it is equivalent to nailing your unexpected look on it. No matter how they perform, it will seem unconvincing.

"Hey, Sean, why are you here now?" After entering the theater and finding Mingla and the others, Weinstein immediately smiled and slapped his shoulder.

"I'm sorry for being pestered by a few reporters," Sean responded with a smile. "To be honest, Harvey, can't you think of a way if they don't like this movie?"

"A movie will always have different voices. Do we have to suppress these different voices in order to promote it?" Weinstein said with great righteousness, which made Sean feel the urge to lift his fat body open to see if there was someone else's hidden inside.

Of course, the fat man immediately returned to normal: "Don't forget, this is also a way of publicity, anyway, they all..."

"Everyone focuses the firepower on me, right?" Sean snorted, "Is this actually your plan, Harvey?"

"Who made you such a good fire-focusing target, Sean? Well, I'm joking, don't care, it's easy to deal with these guys." Weinstein laughed, then glanced at a short distance, "Besides, you can't..."

He didn't finish it, but Sean knew what he meant later, because Nicole and Rachel were talking and laughing at others not far away.

"Well, ladies always have privileges." Sean sighed, then greeted Mingla: "Hey, Tony, how are you doing lately?"

Then he frowned slightly: "You don't look very good?"

"Nothing," Mingla, who was obviously thinking about things, came back to her senses and smiled perfunctorily, "Anyway, it will be officially released soon, so you will know how it will be soon."

There is no doubt that those not very good comments had an impact on him. Sean didn't know what to say for a moment, and Mingla didn't make it clear. In addition, he did not participate in the preview, and the specific situation was not very clear, so he could only comfort him vaguely.
