Surprise, accident, or surprise! Unpopular, unpopular, unpopular!

This may be the best description of the North American film market in the first week of May. More than 200 media attended the "day-to-day acquired" screening. Originally, they thought it was just a routine, and some official news such as "the official screening of the 'day acquired'", "the 2oo4 summer season will be released early to May", "Denis Quaid led two up-and-coming shows to star in summer blockbusters", and the matter ended. But after the screening, the reporters found that this was definitely not a routine. On the contrary, the continuous burst points were almost enough to make any news practitioner ecstatic!

Even if we put aside the high-level box office of 84 million US dollars, the explosive points that the media can discuss are endless.

"U.S. Weekly" focused his attention on the scandal, "Abandon old love, meet new love, and when old love and new love gather together..." This title, coupled with a very interesting picture, Lance and Kayla Knightley stood in front of him for an interview, while Jessica Alba happened to pass by the two people and walked towards the back row, but the focal length was locked on Lance and Kayla, so that the scene behind was a little blurry, and it looked like Jessica was leaving the field sadly.

Everyone can tell stories by reading pictures. Even if you don’t need any unnecessary words, readers who read this article will naturally be guided into a story of wind, flowers, snow, and moon.

In the detailed article, "US Weekly" instead spoke cautiously, describing the previous scandal between Lance and Jessica in detail, and then describing the interaction between Lance and Kaira in the screening. "When the reporter asked whether Lancelot and Kaira were dating, Lancelot looked at Kaira gently and considerately, 'I think this question should be answered by the lady.' Kaira seemed a little panicked, shy and angrily denied the reporter's speculation."

It can be seen that "Us Weekly" does not lie or distort the facts, but real professionals can think of guiding content from their words, such as "gentle and considerate" or "shy and angry". These adjectives are subjective understandings and can often guide readers invisibly.

At the same time, "Us Weekly" also used a sentence similar to "When Jessica appeared on the scene, everyone was guessing the identity of the beauty. The director handed over the task introduced to the host Allen to handle it, and it seemed easy to compare it."

In fact, they were not wrong, because this was the case of the "Singing", but "Us Weekly" implies that Lance ignored Jessica's existence and consciously avoided suspicion. Subsequent articles also repeatedly hinted that in public, Lance always avoided getting along with Jessica and was always inseparable from Kaila, while Jessica, who was alone, seemed a little lonely.

Reading the full article, even Lance himself cannot say that "US Weekly" is talking nonsense. On the contrary, "US Weekly" does describe the situation of the screening as realistically as possible; but the content is not objective, and this is also a very subtle tendency problem in news reports. In this article, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion: Lance abandons the situation at all, Kaila intervenes with the third party, and Jessica was abandoned.

A grand love triangle drama made a brilliant debut!

Scandals are the most eye-catching hot topic in Hollywood, and the love and hatred between the three handsome men and beautiful women has become the best topic of conversation for people after dinner, especially Lance, Jessica and Kayla, who actually appeared on the same occasion. One of them may also be a "third party". Even if not, it is also the appearance of the ex-girlfriend and the current girlfriend at the same time, which is simply comparable to a Colombian soap opera!

After the publication of this issue of "Us Weekly", it immediately became the focus. Gossip tabloids began to follow up and report one after another. Not only did they analyze the every move of the three people on the screen, but even Sundance's old calendar was previously revealed. It seemed that if they would never give up the evidence of "Lance's cheating".

Objectively speaking, Lance and Jessica were not considered figures of paparazzi attention before. Even Kaila, who rose strongly within a year, was not within the close tracking of the paparazzi. But in the blink of an eye, with the popularity of the "day acquired" box office, there was a lot of tail behind the three people, and they truly experienced the "Life in Hollywood".

However, compared to scandals, the biggest explosion point of the "day acquired" episode is another person.

"Brad, Brad, Lance said at the screening last Friday that if he were casting director, he would never choose you to play Achilles." The reporter surrounding Brad Pitt was at least double digits, and all the flashes were aimed at him from all angles, tilting down frantically. The sharp and harsh sound made Brad's pace of leaving stopped and looked back at the reporter.

The reporters standing around Brad were all good at sowing discord. They finally waited for Brad, so they naturally would not give up easily. Brian Barlow can definitely be called a master. He noticed Brad's pause at the first time, and then said loudly, "Lance believes that your fame and strength are inconsistent with your strength, and will become a burden to the crew, and even affect the screenwriter's control of the plot trend."

Lance did say this, but the taste was different. Now that Brian said it, the gunpowder smell of the whole speech became strong, and Brad immediately sneered, "This is also the reason why he cannot become a screenwriter of 'Troy'. A really outstanding screenwriter is knowing how to use actors and interpret roles. As a screenwriter, he is indeed not very good at how to tap the potential of an actor, right?" After saying that, Brad raised his right hand, compared a "two" gesture, and then pointed his chin slightly. The subtext was really clear.

"City of God" was originally a group drama, the real protagonist is the City of God, and all actors can only be regarded as supporting roles; "The Day Afternoon" is a popcorn blockbuster, with visual effects being the protagonist, which is also the reason why the crew chose Dennis Quaid, Jack Gyllenhaal, and Jessica Alba.

Brad is a satirizing Lance for not knowing how to use actors. As a screenwriter, he is incompetent. This is really a serious accusation, because it was only less than three months ago that Lance had won the best adapted script by relying on "City of God". Brad's words imply that Lance was not worthy of his name, and even spoke out for the other losers of the best adapted script. The smell of gunpowder immediately began to escalate!

Brad's understatement also gave Lance a fatal blow to his chat and laugh. He was never as vase-looking as a vase, otherwise he would not be George Clooney's best friend. People would always be confused by his sexually charming appearance and forget this.

After successfully provoking Brad once, Brian was obviously unwilling to give up easily, because Brad was not really angry and the topic was still not explosive enough. Brian glanced through his eyes, but did not see the reporter sent by the Los Angeles Times. This was abnormal and too abnormal. Although the Los Angeles Times did not pay much attention to these gossip news, it did not mean that they were not in the world. Brian had a circle in his mind, but did not come up with a reason.

What Brian didn't know is that the Los Angeles Times held a supportive position for "Troy". The so-called supportive position does not mean that they would ignore the quality of "Troy" and say good things unconditionally, but when the quality of the film is bad, they would find other highlights in a tactful way, and retain hope while criticizing; when the quality of the film is excellent, they would give praise without hesitation. Strictly speaking, this has nothing to do with the position of the newspaper, but more of the unspoken rules in the circle played by senior journalists and senior film critics. The intimate relationship between Cliff Robinson and Warner Bros. and Diorama Film played an important role.

However, Brian was just confused for a moment. The lack of head-on competition from the Los Angeles Times was a good thing for him, so he continued to force him, "Lance also believes that the box office of Troy will be a disaster. What do you think about this?"

This sentence immediately hurt Brad.

In fact, after entering the 21st century, Brad has not been able to show enough appeal in box office for a long time. "Stealing, robbery, kidnapping," and not popular. The box office in North America was only 30 million US dollars; the "dangerous lover" who collaborated with Julia Roberts, the "spy game" with Robert Redford, and the cartoon "Simbada Seven Seas" that dubbed DreamWorks, all suffered double losses in box office and reputation; the only "Eleven Arhats" that won great attention is a group drama.

In other words, Brad is now a top-tier superstar, but in the past four years, he has never been able to show enough box office appeal. In fact, Brad and George are in the same dilemma, which is why George has recently begun to seek breakthroughs in directors, screenwriters and acting skills, because they all know that Hollywood is difficult to last, and they must continue to have excellent works released, otherwise they will be forgotten soon.

"Troy" is the product of this situation. This work is an epic commercial masterpiece by Brad. He not only looks forward to the work's reputation to make more breakthroughs, but more importantly, it must prove his appeal in box office. It can be said that "Troy" is a work that is better than anything else for him. If the box office of this work is weak, he will also face a painful transformation - he really lacks more confidence in his acting skills.

Therefore, Brad is very sensitive. Brad and Lance have no personal grudges, but he doesn't like Lance. There is no special reason. It's just an instinctive disgust, including the brief contact on Oscar Night, he doesn't like Lance's attitude; including the way George usually mentions Lance, and he doesn't like Lance's arrogance. This may be just a subconscious resistance, but at this moment, he successfully angers Brad.

"Very good, we'll see you this week!" Brad gritted his teeth in the reporter's camera.
