[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 391

A down-and-out middle-aged Hollywood star and a lonely and boring glamorous young woman, these two lonely souls meet by chance in a foreign country, and then they collide with each other with different sparks.

Throughout the movie, Eve's performances are very reserved and introverted. There are not many explosive scenes, and it brings surprises in the gentleness.

The loneliness of not being able to integrate into this society is overwhelming. Eve's Charlotte seems to be a person who has lost her soul, and only when she is with Bill Murray's Bob does she come back to life.

Because of this comparison, everyone recognizes her acting skills even more.In the film, she is just an ordinary married woman, she looks no different from other people, very ordinary and usual, walking on the street does not violate harmony at all.

The plot of "Lost in Translation" is actually very simple, and more importantly, it is an atmosphere, and this state of not being satisfied with lovers above AUO makes the audience in the screening hall fascinated.

Especially the hug between the two at the end in the bustling streets of Tokyo was in a state of insignificance, helplessness, but tenderness.

Sofia Coppola very successfully conveyed the emotion of difficulty in communication. After all, people are group animals and emotional animals. It is impossible to have no communication. Cultural barriers and the indifference of husband and wife are all the results of poor communication.

At the end of the film, Bob quickly walked down from the taxi, found Charlotte who was leaving alone on the crowded street, silently embraced her in his arms, and whispered a word in her ear, both of them were very happy. His eyes were red, full of parting reluctance.

Even that kiss only stayed at the corner of the eye, not on the lips, tasted lightly, but had a deep meaning.

Perhaps everyone present is not clear that this scene will become a well-received classic film and television scene.

"What did they say at the end?"

"Eve acted so well. She was very frustrated and disappointed just now, but now she is very convincing."

"What's the matter, why can't I hear what Bob said?"

"It's a good ending, it's really interesting, it's a stroke of magic!"

"Unexpectedly, the movie Sofia is really good. No wonder it attracted two famous actors and was shortlisted for the main competition in Venice."

"This is the best love movie I've seen this year."

"awesome!"

As soon as the film ended, the audience and film critics in the screening hall couldn't wait to communicate, and they had endless things to say about the film, the plot, and the actors.

After watching a good movie, there will be a variety of different feelings, and everyone’s opinion is also different, but everyone agrees that the quality of this movie is very good, from the script to the shooting to the performances of the leading actors and actresses. .

……

Eve listened to the continuous applause, and the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground. She had high hopes for this movie, not only as a simple starring role, but also converted the film salary into an investment.

Literary and artistic films these days are still very popular in the film market, and audiences will also go to the cinema to watch their favorite art films, and they will not be ignored like later generations.

Sofia Coppola next to her has a very bright smile on her face. From the second generation of directors that everyone doubts to now, she has indeed made a beautiful turnaround, and even has the opportunity to go further!

"We made it!"

Excited, Sophia hugged Eve directly, with tears in her eyes.

Being criticized by the media and the outside world all the time, and being compared with the rest of the family, Sophia is under a lot of pressure. Although she doesn't show it normally, it still exists objectively.

Eve patted the director's arm and said with a smile, "I knew this movie would be excellent, and you proved yourself."

In fact, this movie has extra meaning to the three main creators, not just an ordinary movie.

Sofia's screenwriting and directing skills allow her to proudly bear the name of Coppola. Bill Murray also used his unique acting skills to show that he is not just a comedy star, and Eve has shown the world that I am by no means a vase.

The potbellied Francis over there looked at his daughter with a look of relief. The editing room was naturally different from the screening room. This movie was enough for him to use all his connections to build momentum and public relations for it.

It would be nice for many directors to have one movie of this type in their lifetime. Sophia is still young and can go further in the future.

In fact, Sophia chose this kind of movie to avoid suspicion, lest the media or irresponsible film critics say that it was written by Papa Francis.No one would think so now, because the film as a whole is different from Francis's previous style, and it is impossible to shoot such a delicate emotional change.

When Eve watched her character smile on the screen, she kept summing up in her heart, was there anything she could have done better.

It is precisely this kind of tireless improvement of requirements that will lead to the improvement of acting skills.

For most actors, acting skills are enough, and there is no need to study hard, not to mention that they already have a salary of 2000 million US dollars, and they also have an Oscar statuette, so why bother with themselves.

Many actors who have fallen into the curse of the Oscars, in fact, are not self-disciplined, coupled with bad luck, internal and external reasons combined to cause the fall of the actor and actress.

As the lead actor and producer, Eve doesn't really care much about "Lost in Translation". Now she feels like her own child has grown up independently.

Only then did she come to her senses, and asked Sophia next to her, "When will the movie be released?"

"According to the screening plan, after the end of the Venice Film Festival, it will be screened in more than 20 theaters across the United States. We hope to have a good average per game data, and gradually expand after the media comments are officially spread."

Eve was a little suffocated when she heard that, small-area screening is indeed the way many art films will take, but this "Lost in Translation" is selected to be released in more than 20 theaters under the condition of two first-line actors, which is too conservative.

So she tentatively asked: "Now it seems that the audience's response is very good, and it may become the most talked about film at this year's Venice Film Festival. Can't the scale of the screening be expanded?"

The previous screening plan is outdated and cannot keep up with the current pace, so it needs to be rebuilt, and even the screening rights in Europe and Asia will be quickly sold at high prices!

The applause at the scene was too warm, and the two couldn't communicate smoothly at all. Sophia nodded: "Don't worry, we will definitely change."

Rows of spectators stood up from their seats and expressed their views with warm applause.

At the film festival, the audience is actually very picky. If they encounter some experimental or bad films, they will even leave the film on a large scale, and will not leave too much affection for the director and the leading actors.

When encountering some good-quality movies, it is a polite applause, and it will not be so enthusiastic, as if it wants to blow up the roof.You know, movie audiences are actually more calm and reserved, and they don't cheer or whistle like they do in games.

It was enough for the picky audience to applaud collectively for such a long time, which was enough to make the reporters squatting outside aroused their curiosity.

Although there are 100 million questions in mind, film critics, journalists and film lovers can't find a chance to ask them, because this is just a screening room, and then the venue needs to be transferred to the media photoshoot and interview area.

The deserted interview area was overcrowded early on, and media reporters from various countries rushed in to occupy a favorable position before the end of the movie.After these audiences came out of the screening hall, it was a step too late, so they could only stand outside the isolation zone and wait for the main creators to appear.

The reporters couldn't take pictures of Eve, Sophia, Bill and others for the time being, so they naturally focused on these audiences.

"Sir, I'm a reporter from "Film Weekly". What do you think of the movie "Lost in Translation"? I just heard your applause was very enthusiastic."

Being able to participate in the film festival, I will naturally not be unfamiliar with the reporters. I am used to seeing them up and down on this three-acre land.

The middle-aged white man with thinning hair pushed the round-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose with his fingers, and said with emotion: "Personally, I like this movie very much. In fact, I didn't expect it to be so good. Sophia's The shooting is hazy and psychedelic, the plot is very simple, a middle-aged man meets a newly married young woman in a foreign country, and then they are alone together..."

People of his age actually have a deep sympathy for the middle-aged man played by Bill Murray. He usually has too little communication with his wife and family, so he puts his hobby on movies and comes from such a distance. Go to a film festival.

"It sounds like you have a very high opinion of the movie, so what do you think of the two leading actors in the movie?" The reporter used a voice recorder to record all the fans' words, and then asked about other topics.

"I have to admit, I underestimated Bill Murray's acting skills. He was very good in "Groundhog Day", and he played a man in a mid-life crisis with believability in this movie. Extremely high, even if he doesn't smile all over his face, it still injects a bit of humor and wit into the film."

"In fact, there is indeed a certain age gap between him and Eve in the movie. They hung out in Tokyo and sang at KTV together. They looked like a couple. As for Eve's performance, it was also very superb. This girl showed us her sexy body at the beginning, and then she used her acting skills to make us forget all that. She naturally exudes a kind of loneliness and loneliness from the bottom of her heart. Even if she is smiling on the surface, she can be clearly seen The lonely soul behind the smile."

"Every emotional change is smooth and natural, without any abruptness, and the final farewell made people's eyes red. This actress has a limitless future!"
