544 Unusual
Mickey looked at the crowd in front of her, and her expectant eyes fell on her body, and her skin could clearly feel the hot temperature. He once thought he would never wait for this day, but he didn't expect that all this came so quickly that he could hardly believe it.
"Lance is a very good director. I can guarantee this, but an excellent actor? I have always had doubts about this before. After this filming, I think I can shut up." Mickey's joke caused another burst of laughter on the scene. "Lance will make many requests for performances, and at the same time, there will be many ideas. Before the filming started, Lance gave me a task to conceive Muffer's entire life. In fact, this is not a difficult task for me." This simple sentence is meaningful, which makes people think of Mickey's own actual situation, and the scene is a little silent for a while.
However, Mickey has already gone through this mental journey, and he can continue to say with great confidence, "So, the preparations for the performance have actually started before officially entering the crew. After arriving at the crew, Lance and I had detailed communication and I were elaborating most of the time, but he also expressed his views on the script to help me get a closer understanding of the role. This was a very fresh experience for me. I had not started the performance yet, but I had already started to enter the role."
"Lance has a keen sense of the character and the plot. He can always easily awaken the deep resonance of the character in our hearts, and then we can complete the performance ourselves, in our own way." Mickey couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lance who was standing aside. "This is a completely different experience. It seems simple, but the actual experience is full of struggle. Lance can always find memories that we will never think of again. This is not a pleasant experience. So, I hate him. I am serious, I hate him." Mickey emphasized his point of view seriously, "If I have another chance, I will refuse to cooperate with him."
Lance accepted the "criticism" with a calm look on his face, and even pointed his chin slightly, as if he was very satisfied with this evaluation. There was even a burst of laughter on the scene. Mickey added with a smile, "I think Mr. Tom Cruise should have a deep understanding of this." The scene burst into laughter again, "Of course, Bruce, Jessica, and other actors in the crew will not have any objections."
Mickey immediately handed the microphone to Bruce, "I thought it was not allowed to say bad things to the director in such an occasion today." Bruce's first words easily made the scene a sea of laughter.
Javier was a little surprised. It was not Mickey, but Bruce and others who were all praised Lance. In occasions like the premiere, everyone will do their best to save face and work. Even if the relationship is not good, they will also whitewash the peace. What was unexpected was that Mickey and Bruce and others were all accurate. From the so-called acting interest group of the crew of "Borrowing a knife to kill people" to Tom's praise of Lance, and then to the affirmation reflected by the crew of "Sin City", all this shows that Lance's position in the actor's mind is slowly rising.
In fact, the same is true for Mickey and Bruce, including Tom. They did not praise Lance. On the contrary, they actually complained about the tension inside the crew and Lance's training techniques. This performance in front of the media means that they are strongly dissatisfied in their hearts, and they are not the kind of joke.
But they all chose to swallow their anger in the end. Why? If Tom would not lose his temper easily for his image considerations, Mickey and Bruce did not have the personality of sucking them into their stomachs.
This shows that even if they are dissatisfied, Lance did suppress them with strong strength, making them even if they are dissatisfied. Hollywood has never lacked thorns. Lance may be just an insignificant member of them, but not all of them have real talents. Those mediocre thorns will only be eliminated by the times and disappear from the public's sight. For example, Macaulay Calkinn, who is as arrogant and unrestrained as Marlon Brando, is as insolent as he is, even if he is troubled, people cannot refuse him.
So, could Lance become the second Malone? It makes people hate him to the core, grit their teeth, but they have to fall in love with him. "Only by completely disgusting him can we avoid falling in love with him." The New York Times once commented on Malone Brando in this way.
Or to be more accurate, could Lance become the second Warren Beatty? Warren is also one of the famous thorns in Hollywood.
Javier thinks this is a very interesting thing. It has been a long time since Hollywood has seen such a person. It seems that after the 1980s, the star with distinctive personalities and mavericks disappeared. Even a irritable guy like Seanpan and Al Pacino are trying to please the media and the audience. The importance of the public relations image is increasing little by little. Especially after the development of the Internet, it seems that everyone has the opportunity to speak, and the road to success of public figures has become increasingly difficult.
Someone once said that it is unlikely that it will be difficult to succeed in the 21st century by putting stars like Marlon Brando, Warren Beatty, and James Dean Sn. Even Angelina Jolie has begun to try to whitewash. So, what about Lancelot Strello?
"Lance." asked a question and went around the actors and returned to Lance again. As a director, Lance has won more attention than the actors. "As a director, during the movie, in addition to the comic-style picture composition, I noticed that the use of colors and lights is also very special. This is not the first time you have used this method in your work. Can you share with us, do you use colors and lights differently? What is the effect of this on the performance of the movie theme?"
This is a very professional problem, which has gone beyond the scope of the movie itself. Lance originally thought that the "City of Sin" video style was too prominent and it was easy to overturn the main points, causing people to shift the focus. This was the case in the previous life. Because of the stylized expression method, the core of the story of "City of Sin" itself was ignored and became a simple and crude commercial movie. But unexpectedly, this situation did not happen tonight. The comic-based video that originally thought would become the focus would become the focus of discussion, but at present, no problem is related. Finally, a similar technical problem appeared, but it still had no direct connection with the image.
Lance cast his sight and saw a familiar face, Kirk Hani Carter, a professional film critic from Movie Review magazine.
"Movie Review" is the highest-selling professional film magazine in the United States, with an average sales of up to 400,000 copies. "Variety Show" and "Hollywood Reporter" are the most authoritative professional magazines in the Hollywood circle, but the influence of these two magazines is more limited to Hollywood. Almost all subscribers come from industry practitioners, including agents, screenwriters, producers, managers, etc. For the general audience, "Movie Review" is a representative of professionalism, and is similar to "Rolling Stone" in the music field.
After the release of "Borrowing a Knife and Killing", Lance once accepted an exclusive interview with Kirk. The interview lasted only less than thirty minutes, but the two shared many professional views. Later, "Movie Review" praised the movie.
"This is a very interesting question. I am not a professional. I think it would be more appropriate to leave it to our photographers and lighting engineers to answer. However, in order to avoid the premiere becoming a technical discussion site, I think it is better to answer it in a more common way." The words made the scene burst into laughter again, and some people even shouted, "Explanation is more detailed", and Lance laughed in silence, "This reminds me of the Sundance Film Festival, once again." This sentence was said to the direction where Joel Cohen was.
"From a psychological point of view, there is a connection between color and emotion, and so is the lighting. So, I hope the lens language is richer. Compared to telling the audience directly what this is, I hope the audience can have their own ideas when watching the movie." Lance tried to explain in simple words, "For example, it is also red, some people think it is bloody, while others think it is passionate, violent, warm, unrestrained, or depressed. So, when the movie picture presents different colors and light, the experience brought to the audience is also different. This is the goal I hope to achieve. After watching the movie, everyone has their own private insights. It may be likes or hates. I am not sure whether I have done it, but I am working hard."
As soon as Lance finished speaking, there was a burst of applause in the scene, which made Kirk look back at the noisy crowd behind him. This kind of scene that almost only appears at the film festival is really rare for the premiere of a commercial movie, and it can even be said to be unusual. But if you think about it carefully, he himself is the same? After watching the movie, he did not turn back and forget, but wanted to communicate more with the director and the crew.
Thinking of this, Kirk withdrew his gaze and gave Lance a round of applause again.
In fact, it is not just Kirk who has such an idea. The reporters and film critics who attended the premiere tonight have similar ideas. They can once again feel Lance's ambitions. After "killing with a knife", Lance once again tried artistic expression techniques in commercial films, deepened the core of the story, and tried to find a balance between business and art.
"Borrowing a knife to kill someone" has been successful, so what about "City of Sin"? The premiere sensation is just a prelude, and the good show has just appeared. To be continued.
