"Oh my gosh, Jodie Foster likes men again, big news!"
At the premiere of "The Silence of the Lambs" at the Ziegfeld Theater in Manhattan, New York, reporters suddenly discovered that Oscar-winning actress Jodie Foster suddenly appeared at the entrance of the theater with a man.
The two were moving intimately, and they looked like a couple at first glance. Immediately, a large number of flashlights began to flash, and the light almost lit up the street.
Journalists in the industry are all well aware of Jodie Foster's orientation, but there are no public reports. Now that she suddenly appears with her suspected boyfriend, they can finally write gossip about her. Otherwise, she is a movie queen.
As a female star, every interview is about acting, producing, directing, all kinds of serious content, and the editor-in-chief of the article she writes is disgusting.
Jodie Foster is wearing a black dress, and her upper jacket is intentionally buttoned only two times, revealing the silk shirt underneath. She is small and exquisite, and she wears a long bright yellow silk scarf, which is shoulder-length.
Hair, looks very intellectual and sexy.
"Judy, introduce us to your new friend." The reporter didn't recognize the man next to him, who also had long hair and looked excited. He quickly stepped forward and put the tape recorder to their mouths.
"Randy, Randy Stone is the casting director, and I will be working with him on my new film. Yes, I want to be the director."
"Hey, you're not very friendly..." Randy Stone stepped forward to stop the reporters who were still coming forward. At the end, he added, "You must remember my name in the future and don't do it again."
Treat me like a nobody."
"OK, Randy." The reporters nodded in agreement. From now on, you will be a frequent guest on the gossip page. We don't care whether we remember it or not.
"I told you, right?" Jonathan Demme, who was chatting on the side, said to the stunned Ronald.
"Um, ah..." Ronald was in a strange state. Not only because Jodie Foster was a little doubtful about whether his kiss was between a man and a woman yesterday, but also because she actually asked
A man's public appearance is a bit... how should I put it, as if he saw a friend who had a one-night stand suddenly introduce her date at a party.
"Let's go in." Helen Slater nudged Ronald. She had passed Ang Lee's audition and officially played the role of Wang Bozhao, or Wang Yetong, as he used the pseudonym to avoid trouble, in the film's wife role.
"It's so surprising. She lived with Kelly McGillis before." Ronald touched his chin and went into the theater with the director to watch the first commercial release.
Jonathan Demme's editing skills are also superb. This is the first time for Ronald to watch "The Silence of the Lambs" in a large screening room. On the giant screen, this nervous emotion is amplified to the maximum.
The cold-toned scene at the beginning sows the seeds of nervousness and fear in the hearts of the audience. The subsequent scene of meeting Hannibal in prison is even more foreshadowing, making people nervous and speechless. When suddenly Anthony
·When Hopkins' gentle appearance appeared in the prison, the audience was at its highest level of tension and suddenly relaxed. They all wondered how such a humble gentleman could be a serial murderer.
This relaxation was short. Jonathan Demme "teased" the audience at a very high level. After taking a big breath, he suddenly used Hopkins to calmly tell the horrific plot of eating others in a Shakespearean dramatic accent.
As the plot progressed, the audience just felt chills. The horror was layered on top of each other, reaching the climax when Hannibal opened the handcuffs with a ballpoint pen refill in the hotel, killed the guard and escaped.
Cold violence, coupled with an elegant symphony, Jonathan Demme's control is very clever, and the audience does not feel anything disharmonious at all, as if a serial killer like Hannibal should use this method to kill
Only by getting out of trouble can he be worthy of his IQ of killing people with words.
Even after watching the whole play, Ronald was still a little uncomfortable twisting around in his chair. He suddenly discovered that every once in a while, there would be an uncomfortable squeaking sound. It was torture from the audience who felt as uncomfortable as him.
The sound of old-fashioned seats.
The audience is convinced of Hannibal's IQ, but they have conflicting feelings about his behavior. This man was teased by the warden, and the audience still hoped that he could be freed. But his violent crimes made the audience hope that he would be freed.
Grasp.
As for the heroine, Agent Claire, the audience also has an ambivalent attitude. They want her to get ahead, but they don't want her to fall into the trap that old white men like the FBI directors set for young women.
In the end, when Agent Claire broke into the den of dragons and tigers alone, single-handedly killed the kidnapper, and rescued the senator's daughter, the audience suddenly relaxed. They all sympathized with this petite woman and hoped that she could successfully become a regular employee.
At the end of the movie, when Hannibal called back from the Bahamas and made his last call to Agent Claire, the audience's calm mood was lifted again...
The movie came to an abrupt end right here. Everyone in the audience's faces turned red from being rubbed, and a sense of release mixed with fear and joy made them applaud non-stop.
At the same time, the screening hall, which can accommodate 1,600 people, kept making noises. This was the sound of the spring chair cushions returning to their original positions after the audience stood up and left the old-fashioned seats. A long-term tense state,
Many viewers couldn't wait to go to the bathroom to release.
"God, I can't remember the last time I was so nervous when I was watching a movie." Ronald went over to congratulate Jonathan Demme.
"It seems the effect is good?" Jonathan Demi is also very proud of his work. Even he himself cannot produce such a work every time. The performance of the actors, the cooperation of the FBI, and the endless support given by Ronald
The upper limit of financial and resource support is very rare in commercial films.
"It's more than good, it's simply...a masterpiece." Ronald suddenly found himself sweating. Such a movie-watching experience has been rare since he entered the industry.
When watching movies, Ronald would always involuntarily analyze some of the shots, techniques, performances, etc. The "Silence of the Lambs" made him forget that he was a film director and act completely like an ordinary viewer.
immersed in it.
Of course, the Ziegfeld Theater where the premiere was held, the largest screening hall in the United States, is indispensable. The super large screen, which is more than twice the size of the ordinary screen, makes the audience's heartstrings tightly tied to Jodie Fox.
The lovable FBI trainee agent played by Te.
"Hey, it's a pity that this best movie theater in New York and even the country will be demolished this year." When Ronald went to thank the theater manager, the other party said this.
It turns out that this large theater, which was built not long ago, is still out of touch with the times. Today's audiences prefer multi-hall theaters, and they will choose the right show when the time comes. Although the large theater has a great viewing environment, if the attendance rate is
If it's not enough, you'll have to open one to lose. In today's Hollywood, there are only a handful of movies that can fill half of the seats in this big theater every year.
If such a large screening hall needs to be redivided, it will obviously not be cost-effective. And there are not so many plays in New York that need to be performed in such a hall. Most of them can be solved at the Candy Box Theater on Broadway.
"Here in the future?" Ronald still has a lot of affection for this theater. His first movie with a box office of over 100 million, Breakdancing, premiered here.
"In the future, it will be converted into a banquet hall for companies to hold product launches or fashion conferences. Unfortunately, these are very good chairs." The theater manager was very sad. He was about to retire.
"Is there a buyer for these equipment? If not, please give me a contact information. I know a chain cinema operator who will be interested."
Ronald took the other party's business card. In addition to the very expensive spring chairs, there were also high-power projectors and ultra-expensive big screens. These were all very good second-hand goods. When the time came, they would be sold to the new theater of Palm Cinemas.
A good deal.
"Congratulations to everyone..." At the post-screening party, Ronald hosted the celebration ceremony, and a large bottle of fine champagne was poured into stacked champagne glasses. Many actors and staff took a glass and drank it.
And finished.
Many celebrities came to the premiere this time. Shirley MacLean also attended the premiere. She did her best to be a landlord in New York and brought many beautiful beauties to the event. These are all models or actors. I want to
Entering the film industry in one step.
Therefore, they abandoned the handsome actors and circled around Ronald and Jonathan Demme. They wanted to be noticed by each other and say more words.
Ronald remained calm, and he was accompanied by Helen. Although Helen was dressed in ordinary clothes, she was naturally beautiful and a little cold, so the models and actors were a little afraid to approach her.
Jonathan Demme has no female companions to stand in his way. Whatever he says will arouse the sincere admiration of a group of beauties. Although he knows that this is not true, it is rare for men to resist such a feeling and they are intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.
"I would like to ask, can models like us enter Hollywood?" Among all the models, only one persisted and did not go to the director. Instead, she stared at Ronald.
"Who are you?"
"Heidi, Heidi Klum, I am a model from Cologne, Germany."
"Actually, the requirements for people in these two industries are opposite. If you want to be an actor, don't be a model. Or, you can work hard to become a famous model first, so that someone will ask you to make movies."
"That's it?" This young model came to New York to try her luck, and was brought to the premiere of a Hollywood blockbuster by a friend. It would be good to meet big-name directors and listen to some advice from them.
"Oh oh oh, who is this beauty?"
As he was talking, Jonathan Demme's former co-star Ray Liotta, who recently starred in Scorsese's new film "Goodfellas," came over to strike up a conversation.
"I'm sorry, I have to leave first." Ronald took the opportunity to leave.
"Huh?" Heidi Klum rolled her eyes angrily when she saw Ronald running away. She ignored Liotta and walked straight away.
"Ronald, you are so clean." Next to him was the art director Polly Platt. She came over to joke to Ronald.
"I'm ashamed of you for saying that." Ronald smiled and hugged Helen. He knew that Pratt was worried about his ex-husband cheating on the actress. Half of his words were to praise him for not messing around, and the other half was still teasing.
.
"Polly..." Helen Slater went up and hugged Polly Pratt's shoulders. She respected this art expert very much. She admired this kind of independent woman with high professional achievements.
"Hey, Helen, you are really kind..." Platt looked at Helen as if he were his daughter, and immediately softened his heart and started chatting with her.
"Polly, do you have any tips for raising children alone?"
"Oh, Helen, it's really hard to be a single mother. You have to be prepared."
…
"Polly is right, you are really one of the rare Hollywood directors who is clean and self-sufficient." A woman next to him came over and nodded to Ronald.
"Adele?" Ronald gestured to her. During the filming of "The Silence of the Lambs", when Ronald went to the FBI Academy to visit the class, he happened to have a guest appearance as an agent, this one was called Adele Lutz.
A female dressmaker made clothes for him.
He remembered that this was a very professional costume designer who really had a vision and taste in choosing clothes. He was not the kind of female connections that were often inserted into the production team through someone's connections and had never been a costume designer before.
"I've seen a lot in this industry, and you're really good. I've never been very convincing. You are one, and my ex-brother-in-law is one."
"Huh?" Ronald heard what she said and looked at Adele Lutz's appearance through the light. He also found that this person looked arrogant and seemed to be from a famous family. Moreover, she had a certain appearance.
A sense of familiarity, as if I have seen it somewhere.
"Who is your brother-in-law?" he asked tentatively.
"My ex-brother-in-law is Zhou Yinghua, the owner of Mr. Chow Chinese Restaurant."
"Ah ha, I ate at his restaurant in New York. It was a long time ago." Ronald thought of many past events. "How is your sister now?"
Zhou Yinghua’s wife is a German-Japanese former model Zhou Tina. No wonder Ronald had an impression. Her maiden name before marriage was Lutz. She turned out to be the sister of Adele, the fashion designer.
"Don't you know?" Adele looked sad, "She is dying."
It turns out that Zhou Tianna, the party queen, was unfortunately infected with...the virus when she had an affair a few years ago. Earlier last year, the person she cheated on, a nobleman from the country, passed away due to complications, and she was immediately diagnosed with the virus.
Infected person.
The symptoms developed rapidly, and the doctors could do nothing for her. Zhou Tina went to California earlier, where she tried to use meditation and vegetarianism to treat her, but it had no effect. When Adele saw her recently, she was already very thin
Already.
…
In the evening, when Ronald and Helen were alone in the mansion on Fifth Avenue, they were sitting on the big bed. At the critical moment, Ronald suddenly put Helen down and reached into the drawer of the bedside table to rummage through something.
"What are you doing?" Helen pushed him unhappily.
"This..." Ronald took out a box of safety measures, which were high-end brands imported from Japan.
"I usually take measures." Helen showed a wry smile.
"I have to take responsibility for you. Accidents can do a lot of harm to women, especially actresses. You have to make a plan." Ronald loaded the gun quickly.
"Ah..." Helen, whose face was red, buried her face in Ronald's arms with satisfaction. Her lover still loved her very much, and judging from his tone, it seemed that he didn't object to her having a child?
…
"Ronald, we are going to make it."
The next day, on the private plane back to Los Angeles to attend the premiere there, Jodie Foster took the initiative to sit next to Ronald. Yesterday's New York Daily News film review column was full of praise for The Silence of the Lambs.
"yes……"
Ronald quickly shrank aside and sat next to Jonathan Demme. Of course, his face was still facing Jodie Foster. "Cinema Score gave the movie an A- rating, the first time in history that it was a thriller."
The movie gets this score."
Generally speaking, the audience's evaluation of thriller and horror movies will be two levels lower. An A- rating, converted into a general commercial film, is the highest grade of A. Not only does this movie have good reviews from film critics, but it also has great commercial potential.
very good.
"Can I talk to you about the new project?" Jodie Foster was a little unhappy, but she quickly sat down next to Ronald across the aisle, and then quickly moved her face towards him.
"I usually have to sleep when I get on the plane. Let's talk about it when we get there, right?" Ronald still had a grudge about Jodie Foster's sudden boyfriend incident, plus what Adele Lutz said.
, Ronald felt a little nervous now.
"Stingy guy..." Jodie Foster curled her lips and immediately changed her expression, "I really envy you. I heard that successful men are full of energy and can fall asleep on transportation. No wonder
You are so powerful."
As she spoke, she took the blanket from the stewardess, covered Ronald, and then tucked his neck.
The stewardess was so angry that she was confused. She finally had a chance to get close to a rich and handsome man, but she was snatched away by this Hollywood hottie. When she turned around deliberately, she stepped on her high heels and made loud noises.
"Please be gentle, Ronald is asleep."
Jodie Foster also told the stewardess and looked back at Ronald, who was already snoring slightly.
