"This is Melanie Griffith's movie, just like 'The Graduate' belongs to Dustin Hoffman. She wasn't a traditional choice to play 'Tess,' but she was the right choice.

We'd all seen her wild performance in 'Lulu,' but Ronald Lee saw in her the potential for a role with a rich American spirit..."

Several protagonists also boarded the private plane rented by Ronald, and Richard labeled their movie reviews to make everyone feel comfortable during the journey. Melanie Griffith couldn't help laughing.

Mouth, after so many years of wasting, it was finally confirmed by film critics that she is going to be famous!

"Supporting characters are crucial in a movie like this. Sigourney Weaver's role is a thankless one - she plays the villain who is humiliated in the end. But for an actor with Weaver's imagination

Actually, this is an interesting task.

From the first second on the screen, she has to say all the villain lines, but at the same time subtly hints that she may not have done those bad things on purpose... This adds more realistic meaning to the movie."

Sigourney Weaver also grinned. The villain has multiple levels and is sympathizing. This is simply the highest praise for an actress. In addition, there is also the protagonist in "Gorillas in the Mist". This year's Oscar

It's like having double insurance.

"Where's my part?" Harrison Ford eagerly stretched out his hand to Richard. If he could act in this movie, wouldn't he be hoping that the critics would affirm him and expand his acting options?

"If Sigourney's performance is full of subtlety, so is Harrison Ford, who carries himself with a ruminative passion in his steadiness. When he falls in love with a woman, he doesn't rush to seize it.

She; he seems to think maturely about the relationship between men and women.

Ford transcended the previously labeled cowboy image, and his acting skills, like those of Sigourney Weaver, provided an indispensable framework for Griffith's character Tess, allowing people to see her growth in the film.

Variety."

Okay, now the three leading actors are happy.

Ronald read all the film reviews and found that in addition to the three of them, Joan Cusack also had many positive reviews. For example, Janet Maslin of the New York Times regarded Joan Cusack as a stunning supporting role that transcended the comic style.

Performance.

"Joan plays the no-nonsense Staten Island girlfriend who lets Tess know her dim view of this Cinderella story. 'Sometimes I'll sing and dance around the house in my underwear, but that doesn't make me Madonna.

,never.''

In short, film critics all liked the realistic treatment of the story in this movie. The villains are not without some sympathy, and the decent characters also have their parts that make people disapproving. The story feels very real, and the major media outlets on the east and west coasts all

Full of kind words.

Of course, what Ronald is happiest about is his own evaluation. Roger Ebert believed that he was photographing a "graduate" of the new era, a legend of a young man who went from ignorance to reality and worked hard in society.

Only this time the protagonist is a woman - Tess from Staten Island.

He also compared his film to a new version of "Cinderella". Female film critic Rita Kempley, an old acquaintance of the Washington Post, went all out to praise it. Tess's Fairy is the Professor of Mergers and Acquisitions

Night school of knowledge...a civilian version of an MBA. And the evil sister is Catherine, played by Sigourney Weaver.

In short, this energy makes Ronald feel a bit like the way they praised Bertolucci in "The Last Emperor" last year. Some of the "proper" comments and "exquisite" interpretations of the director's ability were even Ronald's first.

think.

"Maybe I have a chance at the Oscars this year?" Ronald thought happily.

Along the way, the excited Ronald did not take a break and kept discussing with Richard, Michael Gray and others various arrangements for the "Working Girl" to compete for the prize.

The public relations for the Oscars this time are mainly CAA's hints to a large number of actor clients, 20th Century Fox's regular publicity among film critics, and Ronald's own daydreams and additional public relations actions.

A few hours later, the business jet landed at the New York Business Jet Airport, and Ronald and his party were waiting in the waiting room. It was approaching Christmas, and there were a lot of business passengers. Their fleet, and another one, was blocked on the road. The first one came.

Picked up Harrison Ford, the biggest star, and Melanie Griffith, who was a little tired of the long-distance flight and started to suffer from withdrawal symptoms.

Ronald and Sigourney Weaver, both of whom had permanent addresses in New York, stayed at the end to wait for the bus.

"I heard that your starring role in 'Gorillas in the Mist' also received a lot of praise?" Ronald liked Sigourney Weaver's acting skills very much. Her performance was restrained and layered. Whether it was romance

She played the villain in a romantic comedy or the eccentric professor in a biopic about a character like Gorilla, and she played them all convincingly.

Especially "Gorillas in the Mist", which tells the story of Dian Fossey who studies gorillas in the primeval forests of Africa. This kind of movie, with basically no dramatic conflict, actually reached a local box office of nearly 25 million US dollars.

It's all down to Weaver's touching performance.

"A lot of film critics were dissatisfied that my performance as Dian Fossey softened her weirdness. Ha, they know nothing about movies. Film critics like nothing more than to find faults."

"I have to say you're right, but they still like our movie very much."

"Of course, women's rights, career women, Cinderella's counterattack, whether it's career or love, they can't say anything bad." Sigourney Weaver winked at Ronald, this movie occupies a lot of space

It has the moral high ground and is a commercial film with outstanding performances. It is within the range that film critics can understand, so they have to praise it desperately.

Ronald laughed. In any case, Sigourney Weaver's acting skills are very wide, whether it is science fiction movies, action movies, screwball comedies, dramas, or even romantic comedies, she can do it all with ease.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Such versatile actors do not make a deep impression on the audience. Their faces often look familiar, but they are not like stars who specialize in one thing.

, you can go to the cinema to buy tickets to support.

There are gains and losses. It is very difficult to have both careers as a star and an actor.

"Hi, are you Sigourney Weaver?"

The two of them were chatting when two or three female elites who looked like senior executives came over to say hello.

"Yes, I am..." Sigourney Weaver greeted them. Passengers at the business jet airport were not like ordinary movie fans. They communicated with the actors on an equal footing. After all, they themselves

They are also the elites of Wall Street.

"You know what? We all watched the movie in Los Angeles yesterday. We all support your performance as Catherine and cheer you on..."

Unexpectedly, several female executives said words that even Ronald had not expected.

"Tess is a secretary. She stole your career, your man, and the most unbearable thing, she also stole your clothes!"

"And your shoes!"

"Um...women's perspectives are really different?" Ronald didn't know what to say. He swore that neither he nor screenwriter Kevin Wade thought that way.

…

The premiere in New York is not much worse than the starlight in Los Angeles.

Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal, who had previously completed reshoots for the two snowy Christmas scenes in "When Harry Met Sally," also happened to come over to support Ronald.

"Oh, there are so many reporters here today..." Meg Ryan also appeared dressed as a professional woman, adding a red scarf.

"Of course, the three female characters in this movie all performed very well... Many people are already discussing who is more suitable to be nominated..." Billy Crystal also looked at Harry at the scene with envy.

Sen Ford.

Speaking of role types that are limited by movie types, he and Ford are similar. Billy Crystal has always played screwball comedies, and he really wants to broaden his acting options. This time, Harrison Ford's successful transformation has given him a great deal

expectations.

"I hope I can be like Melanie Griffith..." Meg Ryan is actually more envious. The competition among actresses has always been much fiercer than that among male actors. Anyone who can stand at the top of the film pay and awards

All actresses rely on their extraordinary performance in one movie to reach the leading platform.

The two leading actors in the new film are full of hope, hoping that when "When Harry Met Sally" is released next year, it will receive the same critical acclaim as "Working Girl" and will give their careers a boost.

"Hi, Ronald..."

Over there, Ronald was greeting two female celebrities who had come to the premiere together.

The one dressed in a very elite style is Kelly McGillis, the heroine of "Top Gun", and the one next to her is Jodie Foster.

"The Accused" starring the two of them has just been released for a month and has received mixed reviews. Especially the scene at the beginning of the film where the protagonist Sara, played by Jodie Foster, is being taken turns in a bar...

, making many well-informed film critics feel uncomfortable.

The two became inseparable in life because of their starring roles in the film, and Jodie Foster even moved into McGillis' house.

Jodie Foster had been basically disillusioned with Hollywood after "The Movie". She had thought about giving up her acting career. She originally had high hopes for this movie, and she played a particularly controversial role.

The character of Sara is actually adapted from a real case victim. She is not like other film and television works adapted from similar cases, which portray the female victim as a completely violated object.

Sarah actually has her own problems. Jodie Foster actually plays a slut in a way. She flirts with the suspect in the bar. Later the suspect becomes violent,

When he wanted to kill her in public, he refused.

In fact, this kind of character is not very sympathetic to the audience in many conservative areas in the middle and south. Judy gave a breakthrough performance, but she was still attacked to a certain extent. She saw Tess in "Working Girl"

, is also a controversial heroine, but she is unanimously praised by film critics, and she is actually jealous in her heart.

It happened that McGillis heard rumors that Ronald was suspected of having some kind of disease and called to inquire about the situation. Only then did Jodie Foster find out that her girlfriend McGillis had also had a history with Ronald before.

Therefore, Jodie Foster kept encouraging McGillis to attend the premiere in New York. It happened that McGillis also wanted to repair the relationship with Ronald, so the two took the initiative to support the premiere.

"I'm very happy that you're recovering well now." McGillis gently touched Ronald's arm with his hand.

"Yeah, this flu is really bad." Ronald felt a little jealous of McGillis' suspicion. But he still smiled in front of the cameras of the photographers. The more stars came, the more celebrities came.

, isn’t it the more you help yourself?

"Where is your after-screening party?" Jodie Foster saw the opportunity and immediately asked about the key arrangements.

"I don't know, it was arranged by my public relations consultant, Michael..." Ronald called Michael Gray, "make sure both ladies go to the after-screening party, okay? They are all good friends..."

"Of course, this is our VIP ticket, the hottest Ritz in Manhattan right now..." Michael Gray was very familiar with this kind of occasion and took it naturally.

Ronald watched half of the movie, and the reaction from the audience was even more enthusiastic than in Los Angeles.

The overall atmosphere in Los Angeles is relaxed, even laid-back. The workplace atmosphere in New York is similar to what is depicted in the movie.

Especially in the financial industry, the intensity of competition is not fully reflected in the movie. If it were really shot based on the real situation, it would be much uglier.
