Chapter 2054 Four Birds With One Stone
Jennifer has never seen the finished film before. Like many viewers, this is the first time she has seen the complete plot of "The Hunger Games".
Unlike the audience, she already knew the plot before. What she cared about when watching was not how the plot would develop, but her own performance.
Especially in some literary scenes with dramatic emotional changes and intense fighting scenes, she would become very nervous and hold Li Rui's hand tightly.
It can be seen that she has high requirements for herself.
Li Rui comforted him in a low voice: "Don't be too nervous, you are doing great!"
"Really?" Jennifer said, "I think I can do better."
"It's already very good." Li Rui said, "You are one of the most spirited actresses I have ever seen!"
Li Rui was not fooling her, but he recognized Jennifer's acting skills and professionalism from the bottom of his heart.
Jennifer leaned gently on Li Rui's shoulder. When she fell into self-doubt, having such warm words to accompany her undoubtedly brought her great strength.
In the theater, as the plot progressed, the audience sometimes fell into grief and anger, sometimes clapped and shouted, and sometimes they were quietly worried about the fate of the protagonists. When only the male and female protagonists were left in the end, the audience's hearts were in their throats.
, for fear of cannibalism.
And when the hero and heroine threatened to commit suicide together to force the organizer to allow them to survive together, the audience burst into cheers.
"Listen to these cheers, they are for this film and for you." Li Rui hugged Jennifer and said, "Congratulations, you have finally made a movie that is completely yours."
This is not flattery. There may be several actors in "The Hunger Games" who left a deep impression on people, but in the final analysis it is still a "big female protagonist" movie, and the male protagonist is more often a "licking dog"
exists, which makes the image of the heroine played by Jennifer extremely outstanding.
Compared with the films Jennifer has participated in before, this is a work that really gave her a huge stage. Although it did not show her full potential in acting due to the limitation of the subject matter, it can still be regarded as her masterpiece.
Jennifer did not disappoint. While the female power she displayed left a deep impression on the audience, she also put a deep personal mark on this work.
Just as when talking about Indiana Jones, people will think of Harrison Ford, when talking about Die Hard, people will think of Bruce Willis, and when talking about Pirates of the Caribbean, we must talk about Johnny Depp. For a long time in the future,
Time, when people discuss "The Hunger Games", the first image that comes to mind must be Jennifer's bow and arrow!
As the end credits appeared, the lights in the theater gradually turned on, and the audience stood up and left the theater, excitedly talking about the plot of the film as they walked away.
Li Rui and Jennifer followed the flow of people, eavesdropping as they walked.
"How do you feel? I think it's great, much better than last week's Skyfall."
"It's really good. I want to go back and buy this book to read the plot behind it."
"Jennifer Lawrence's acting skills are great. Has she appeared in any other movies?"
"I almost fell asleep in the first ten minutes, but I didn't expect that the rest of it would be quite exciting."
Young audiences generally respond well. After all, their requirements for the film are not high. As long as the emotions are sufficient, the fighting is intense enough, and the plot is exciting enough, they will be satisfied.
In contrast, older audiences are not so easy to fool.
Two spectators in their thirties were complaining as they walked.
"It's such a lousy movie with no logic. I just want to know, don't the other contestants have mentors? They look like rookies who don't know anything, and they are played around by the male and female protagonists!"
"I think the plot is okay, but it's too bloody. If it were my child, I wouldn't let him watch this movie."
When Li Rui and Jennifer heard this, they could only smile helplessly at each other.
It is impossible for any movie to satisfy everyone's requirements. As long as it can satisfy some audiences, it can be called a success.
Next, it depends on the box office situation this weekend. Regardless of the audience's evaluation, how many people are willing to buy tickets and watch it is the hard standard to truly evaluate the success of a commercial film!
After the two got home, they made out for a while. After they were done, Jennifer checked her phone and suddenly frowned: "These reporters are going too far!"
"What's wrong?" Li Rui asked lazily.
Jennifer handed the phone to Li Rui and said: "Look, this is an interview published by the New York Post. They completely misrepresented what I meant!"
Li Rui took it and took a look. It turned out that Jennifer had been interviewed by the New York Post two days ago after a promotional event. What made Jennifer furious was one of the questions and answers.
Reporter: [Jennifer, there are a lot of bloody scenes in "The Hunger Games"? This movie is rated pg-13, but is it really suitable for teenagers under 18 years old?]
Jennifer: [I think "The Hunger Games" has a very wonderful original work. The screenwriter has made a condensed adaptation of the story to make it easier for the audience to understand. And some of the expression techniques in the movie will surprise everyone, I believe.
of.】
Just looking at this Q&A, it's easy to think that Jennifer approves of the bloody violence in the film, and is even proud of it.
But Jennifer was furious: "They edited my answer, and my answer was for another question!"
Li Rui's malicious editing of the media has become commonplace, especially since the New York Post is a newspaper owned by News Corporation, so he is even more familiar with such immoral things.
News Corporation's media outlets have done all kinds of bad things, such as eavesdropping and spreading rumors, slandering and framing, making false claims, and snooping into privacy. Otherwise, the eavesdropping scandal would not have occurred in July 2011. Rupert almost went to jail for this, and finally had to apologize at the hearing.
The victim was compensated, and the scandal also directly led to the resignation of Rupert's second son James, his preferred successor.
Li Rui doesn't care if News Corp bullies others.
But they actually bullied Jennifer, which was unbearable.
Li Rui immediately called Deng Wendi, hoping that she could help remove the interview.
Deng Wendi agreed with some hesitation: "Li, I can help you ask. But... I rarely intervene in the management of the group's media, so I may not be able to help."
Li Rui keenly heard something was wrong.
Wendi Deng has always given Li Rui a feeling of strength and confidence. Although she and Rupert agreed not to interfere in the internal management of News Corporation when they got married, as Rupert's wife, her opinions will still be taken seriously.
It's just an interview. It should be said that Deng Wendi could withdraw it with just a greeting, but now her attitude is extremely vague.
Could it be...she is getting divorced?
Li Rui couldn't remember when Rupert and Deng Wendi divorced in his previous life. He only remembered that he had some relationship with the Prime Minister of Eagle Country. However, it was not his turn to ask about such household matters. He could only say: "No matter what, thank you very much."
