Best Movie Star

Chapter 781: most ambitious work

Entering the screening hall, since they have known each other for many years, the relationship is not good, and since we haven't seen each other for a long time, Rachel Weisz deliberately changed seats with others and sat next to Matthew, chatting about "The Return of the Mummy". many things.

"Universal Pictures later planned to film The Mummy 3." Rachel Weisz whispered to Matthew, "At the time, I rejected the script when I saw the script. Fortunately, I didn't participate in the filming. That film was too miserable."

Matthew nodded, "Universal Pictures also contacted me, and I refused."

While chatting with Rachel Weisz, he was thinking, and some things gradually had vague memories, especially the "Black Swan" mentioned by Rachel Weisz and Natalie Portman before.

Once, he was also poisoned by Matilda and knew something about Natalie Portman.

From hearing "Black Swan" to now, he has generally thought of something. It seems that the role of Natalie Portman who won the Oscar for best actress is a black swan, right?

Isn't that black swan the "Black Swan" that Rachel Weisz mentioned?

But Rachel Weisz said it was Darren Aronofsky's script and character, and if so, how did it end up in Natalie Portman's hands?

Then, Matthew thought of a key point, Natalie Portman and Rachel Weisz said to ask Darren Aronofsky to meet and ask for advice!

This is a fair and honest statement, and normal people would not think there is a problem.

The problem is that Matthew is not a normal person, he has a special and unique experience.

It's never a new thing for Hollywood to pry friends' corners and steal friends' roles.

For example, "Shakespeare in Love", in which Pepper Gwyneth Paltrow won the best actress, was the script she saw from her friend Winona Ryder. The first heroine the crew wanted to invite was also Wino Na Ryder, and later Gwyneth Paltrow stole the role abruptly, making a "tragic story" that Hollywood will always remember.

Will Natalie Portman have such a mind? Nobody knows.

Matthew doesn't mind looking at this with ill will, because Natalie Portman has precedents, and although he has the intention of using "Cloud Atlas" to deceive people, there is no private Natalie Portman Help, Brad Pitt's Plan B company won't get the Wachowskis so easily.

Rachel Weisz was good to him on the set of "The Mummy Returns", but when he had a conflict with Brandon Fraser, she was relatively inclined to him.

Since he heard Rachel Weisz and Natalie Portman talk about this, he wasn't going to pretend he didn't hear anything.

Of course, Rachel Weisz now regards Natalie Portman as a friend. No one can guarantee whether Natalie Portman has other thoughts. He must not be stupid and directly say be careful Natalie- Portman's words.

That's too stupid.

The two chatted, and Matthew's topic gradually turned to Oscar, saying, "In the past two years, the best actress in the Oscars has been contracted by Harvey Weinstein."

"Yeah." Rachel Weisz nodded. "Harvey Weinstein once approached Darren, but Darren rejected him."

Matthew suddenly said in a gossip tone, "When I mention Harvey Weinstein, I suddenly think of a rumor about the best actress Oscar he won."

Rachel Weisz thought that Matthew had the inside story, and asked quickly, "What rumors? Come and listen."

"The thing about Gwyneth Paltrow winning the Oscar." Matthew said casually, "I heard that Gwyneth Paltrow snatched the script and role from Winona Ryder. "

"What do I think." Rachel Weisz laughed, "I've also heard this rumor..."

Speaking of which, she suddenly stopped her mouth, thinking about it, how many actresses who can get ahead in Hollywood, especially those who have no background, are idiots?

Seeing that Rachel Weisz was slightly dazed, Matthew didn't say more, just as the lights on the ceiling went out, and the picture on the big screen came on, and his energy was transferred to this new sci-fi work by the Wachowskis.

After watching it for only half an hour, Matthew found that this film is indeed the work of the Wachowskis, and it is more mysterious and complicated than the last two films of "The Matrix".

Perhaps it is because of the limited educational level and artistic accomplishment that Matthew is somewhat confused. The biggest impression of this film on him is that the narrative is chaotic, the structure is strange, and the content is obscure.

One movie, six stories, thousands of years, more than thirty characters...

This should not be a commercial film, but an experimental film.

At the end of the movie, Matthew looked around, not only him, but in fact many people were wondering, even Rachel Weisz, who had studied in the literature department of Cambridge University, was muttering.

"This film is even weirder than the narrative of The Matrix." Rachel Weisz seemed to be talking to herself, and she seemed to be telling Matthew, "and it's a little too didactic."

She turned to look at Matthew, "Right?"

Matthew spread his hands, without concealing, to tell the truth, "I'm already confused."

Until he walked out of the screening room, Matthew didn't have a clear concept of the movie. When it came to engaging in depth and philosophical speculation, he really couldn't catch up with the Wachowskis by plane.

Maybe this movie may become a classic in the future, but it does not prevent people from being incomprehensible at this moment.

After the premiere, Rachel Weisz greeted him and left in a hurry. Matthew didn't stay too long, and quickly walked out of the Hollywood Theater.

As soon as he left the theater entrance, before he could get in the car, several reporters appeared and surrounded him with questions.

The reporters didn't seem to be interested in the just-premiered "Cloud Atlas," and the questions they asked were all about Matthew's film.

There were not many reporters, so Matthew answered a few questions.

A middle-aged reporter from TMZ asked, "Matthew, Fast and Furious 4 is a foregone conclusion, are you subconsciously thinking about Special Forces: The Rise of the Cobra, which will be released next month, and what? What about preparing for Fast and Furious 5?"

Matthew thought for a while, and replied seriously, "It may have been a while since the subconscious mind has spoken, but the subconscious mind is still a long way from reaching the brain..."

At the end of the premiere, many people were very busy, especially the people in the premiere crew. When Brad Pitt left the Hollywood Theater, it was almost midnight.

Since Angelina Jolie didn't show up for the premiere, Natalie Portman followed Brad Pitt into the same car.

The black sedan drove towards Beverly Hills, and Brad Pitt kept flipping through the tablet in his hand, as if he was reading news about Cloud Atlas.

"Will the movie be a bit difficult?" Natalie Portman was a little worried. "I heard some reporters say I didn't understand it."

Brad Pitt shook his head, "It doesn't matter, our slogan is a high-IQ movie."

Natalie Portman glanced at the tablet in his hand and asked, "How's the response online?"

"Not bad," Brad Pitt said with a smile, handing the tablet to Natalie Portman. "A lot of the online columns give positive reviews."

Natalie Portman took the tablet and looked through it, exactly as Brad Pitt said.

"This is really a good movie, the pictures are majestic, the rhythm is relaxed, the skills are skilled but not exaggerated, and the stories that don't fit together are well connected. There are several times from the actor's lines of the previous story. The kind of no trace in between, it is as smooth as swallowing a custard pudding. Aside from the peculiar shapes of the actors, basically everyone has contributed a lot to the story that is most like himself. acting."

This is an online film critic's column.

After reading it, Natalie Portman went to Rotten Tomatoes for a special look. The ban on Rotten Tomatoes has been lifted. "Cloud Atlas" currently has 32 movie reviews, which are temporarily marked as fresh, and the freshness is 86%.

For a summer commercial film, this is definitely a high reputation.

She also took a look at the movie reviews below.

"The end of the film still can't stop Mo Ming's tears for a long time. This is unprecedented in personal history. It comes from the feeling of being rescued and cleaned from the depths of the soul. The regrets and pains of an individual's life are filled with every fall and the shock of being restored and reborn. It is not an ordinary sci-fi movie, but a unique and unprecedented sci-fi movie, a healing philosophy movie that integrates a grand cosmology, and an orderly symphony of voices interspersed!"

Natalie Portman is a little puzzled, is "Cloud Atlas" really so good?

"Come and see." Brad Pitt received a text message at this time, reminding, "Come and see, Roger Ebert updated his column about "Cloud Atlas"."

Roger-Albert's health has been deteriorating in recent years, and he rarely writes film reviews~www.readwn.com~ The copy that the crew sent to Roger-Albert, I didn't expect him to see it.

No one expected that the most influential film critic in the United States actually watched the film.

Natalie Portman swiped her fingers on the tablet and quickly found the official website of the Chicago Sun-Times, which featured a prominent column from Roger Ebert.

Clicking on Roger Albert's column, Natalie Portman immediately saw the film review that had just been updated for ten minutes.

"What did he say?" Brad Pitt asked.

Natalie Portman said as she watched, "He said Cloud Atlas was one of the most ambitious Hollywood films ever made! An extraordinary adaptation of a supposedly 'unable to make it on screen' original, which is on every level. Almost perfect! Anyone would like to see such a bold and visionary film!"

Brad Pitt kept nodding, "We have already succeeded in half, and the word of mouth is very good. Next, we will look at the box office. We have no audience base, and the box office in advance can't explain anything. You can predict future trends.”
