The three of them spoke and sat down on a sofa in the background together.
Brian De Palma continued the topic: "Simon, Bob and I have been talking about this project in the past few days. I probably understand that you asked me to direct this film because you want to make the plot more interesting." Suspense and tension. However, Bob and I both believe that although the theme of "Peach Deal" goes against the mainstream moral values, the core of the story should still be love. As for romance movies, it is not a subject that I am good at at all."
When Simon heard Palma's polite rejection, although he was sorry, he didn't feel any grudge.
After thinking about it, Simon felt that Palma's analysis actually made sense, so he said: "In that case, I'll contact other people to take a look. Also, Brian, are there any other scripts that you are interested in recently?"
Brian De Palma showed a wry smile on his face, shook his head and said: "Not yet, but I think I should return to what I am good at."
In recent years, Palma has shot a total of two films, a Vietnam War-themed film "Vietnam War Trauma" and a satirical comedy "Bonfire of the Vanities". Both films tried to get rid of his previous style, and both ended up with bad results. Ended in failure.
It is not difficult to understand why he rejected "Peach Deal".
If it continues to be tepid, it will not be so easy to receive good projects again if the popularity drops.
"I'll keep an eye on it for you," Simon said, looking at Robert Redford and saying, "Bob, you're not interested in "Peach Deal" either, are you?"
Robert Redford nodded: "I can try."
"Then I will arrange a formal meeting as soon as possible."
While they were chatting, another guest came over to chat with Simon. Palma and Redford smiled and took the initiative to get up and walk away.
"Hi Cindy, long time no see."
Simon also stood up and greeted Cindy Crawford, who was wearing a low-cut black evening gown.
At his 20th birthday party, Simon made a promise to each of the four models who came to support him. It was originally agreed that they could guest star as Bruce Wayne's female companion in "Batman Begins", but due to plot reasons, they could not. It can be done, and this time it was successfully fulfilled.
However, for the time being, only Cindy Crawford has been honored.
When Cindy Crawford heard what Simon said, she took the initiative to hug Simon and complained half-seriously: "It's been a long time, Simon. It's not easy to see you."
Simon felt the strong and pleasant scent of the girl's perfume, and then noticed that she didn't seem to have a male companion, and asked with a smile: "You came alone?"
Cindy Crawford let go of Simon, but kept a slightly closer distance to the man. She looked over with beautiful eyes and said, "Yeah, so, Simon, can you take me back to the hotel later?"
"Unfortunately, I have a problem with places like hotels, and I usually don't go within 50 feet."
Cindy Crawford's eyes flashed, and her words became bolder: "Then, you can send me wherever you want."
Janet has recently begun to show her pregnancy, and she suffered from severe morning sickness, so she did not attend today's premiere. Simon had no intention of staying up all night, so he casually turned away from this somewhat charming topic and said, "I remember you have a boyfriend, that, um, Richard Gere?"
Cindy Crawford didn't shy away from it either. There was some regret in her expression as she explained: "We broke up last year."
Simon was a little surprised, but he quickly figured out the reason.
Richard Gere, who became famous in 1982 with "An Officer and a Gentleman", has been on the decline in the late 1980s.
Originally, Richard Gere finally returned to his peak with 1990's "Pretty Woman", and then married his girlfriend Cindy Crawford, whom he had been with for several years. In fact, both parties got what they wanted.
The thing is just like the lightning marriage between Boo and Demi Moore during "Die Hard". As a very conservative society at heart, American audiences don't like that the perfect man on the screen is still a single swinger in private.
For this reason, Bruce Willis, Richard Gere, Sylvester Stallone and even Tom Cruise, no matter what happens privately, will try their best to maintain a marriage on the surface. This is actually another form of 'political correctness', which was gradually no longer adhered to by celebrities until the new century.
Although Richard Gere is a handsome gentleman who charms thousands of female viewers on the screen, he is also a playboy in private. And he is as good as DiCaprio in the original time and space. He never married before the age of forty. , and only likes supermodels with tall figures and delicate faces.
Now, having missed "Pretty Woman" and having no other blockbuster movies in recent years, and even being reduced to starring in TV movies, Richard Gere, who is over 40 years old, is completely out of date.
In this case, there is no need to maintain a kind of 'political correctness'.
Moreover, Cindy Crawford, who is only 25 years old and in the prime of her life, is also not simple in her mind. After rising to power as Richard Gere's girlfriend in the early days, she still has a lot of room for career advancement. Of course, it is impossible. Then tie yourself to some outdated old tree.
After teasing a few words at the right time, and seeing that the man in front of her didn't respond to her, Cindy Crawford took the initiative to turn the topic to her guest experience in "The Dark Knight" and expressed her hope to try more in the future. Enter Hollywood all at once.
The female assistant came over with her best friend Lisa Collins at this time.
Sensing Simon's shift in attention, Cindy Crawford stepped aside slightly, but did not move away. She also nodded politely to Jennifer and the two women. She knew Simon, the female assistant. Because the focus of her career is in New York, she also knows that the Raybould family has been very popular in Manhattan in recent years because of Simon.
"Simon, it's not easy to meet you."
Lisa Collins' first words that were obviously full of resentment almost made Cindy Crawford laugh.
Simon hugged Lisa gently and said with a smile: "Well, it seems that I am indeed a difficult person to see."
Lisa Collins has been wanting to meet Simon again after attending a Madonna concert last year that featured him.
Unfortunately, I never found the opportunity.
It’s no wonder that in the past year or so, except for the honeymoon trip after the wedding, Simon has been basically busy non-stop, flying back and forth between cities almost every week, and it is impossible to put too much thought into personal affairs. superior.
After continuing to socialize for a few minutes, the staff came over to remind them that the premiere was about to begin, and everyone entered the auditorium one after another.
The opening session was very simple. After the host made a speech, the movie screening officially began.
After the animation of the studio logos of the two companies, accompanied by intensive sirens, the screen gradually turned to a stretch of highway.
It opens with a hot car chase scene.
Car chase scenes in Hollywood have a long history, and most action movies will almost always have one or two car chases. However, in recent years, the most impressive one is undoubtedly the car chase scene in the finale of "Batman Begins."
Therefore, as soon as "The Dark Knight" opened, the audience immediately recalled the excitement and amazement of seeing the car chase scene in "Batman Begins" on the big screen a year and a half ago.
Although it was the opening scene, the short car chase scene did not disappoint the audience.
Faced with the unbridled heavy firepower of a pair of racing gangsters, the Gotham police were severely suppressed and suffered heavy damage.
In the midst of everyone's attention, the Bat-Fighter floated in. After destroying several minions with cannons, Batman used the same method as Catwoman in the first film to drive the Bat-Motorcycle from the self-flying Bat-Fighter to fall from the sky and rush towards the target. A heavy truck guarded by minions.
The opening wedge is naturally carefully designed to ignite the audience's passion for the film from the very beginning.
Even the car chase scenes and the details of Batman driving the Bat-Motorcycle from the sky are also carefully considered for the audience's psychology, directly reminding fans who have watched the first film of the first film that amazing feeling.
Immediately afterwards, in a thrilling confrontation, Batman destroyed all the minions. The Batmobile made a sharp U-turn and rushed towards the heavy truck that had just been left behind.
The hearts of the audience were lifted.
Looking at the bloodthirsty and crazy eyes of the driver in the driver's seat of the truck, I wonder what Batman is planning to do, die together with a heavy truck, and then, 'The End'? Of course this is impossible.
The moment the two vehicles with huge differences in size came into contact, the Batmobile suddenly dwarfed and passed directly through the bottom of the heavy truck. At the same time, a shot of the rope shot from the Batmobile nailing into the front of the heavy truck appeared.
What is this going to do
Isn’t it unrealistic to use a Batmobile weighing only a few hundred pounds to tow a heavy truck weighing dozens of tons
If there is an audience in the hall who has the same 'experience' as Simon, they will probably immediately think of a certain scene in Nolan's version of "The Dark Knight" in their memory.
However, this time the plot is even cooler.
The Batmobile passed through the heavy truck and did not wrap around the lamppost on the roadside like the original version. Instead, it came to an emergency stop very quickly.
The cable connecting the heavy truck and the Batmobile continued to stretch. Batman pressed a button on the Batmobile, then raised his hand and used the hook lock to fly out, heading towards an advertisement on the side of the road.
In the middle of the road, the Bat Motorcycle actively deformed. Its two huge wheels tilted down and were embedded in the ground like two oversized screws. At the same time, eight hooks flew out from the motorcycle, which were nailed or wrapped into the ground like a spider web. Light pole next to the fence.
Zheng!
After a heart-stopping sound, the heavy-duty truck moving forward like a giant beast suddenly stopped in the camera lens.
Then.
Under the huge force, the huge car body flipped 180 degrees.
boom-
"Wow… "
"so cool!"
Various exclamations suddenly sounded in the hall, and some people started to applaud.
Some of the filmmakers sitting near Simon once again lamented that movies could still be made like this, and they couldn't help but realize that it was all money.
Most filmmakers, even if they could think of it, couldn't afford it.
After the opening wedge and title sequence, it officially enters the main film.
The plot of "The Dark Knight" is still closely related to the plot of the main film, rather than just being a show-off like the 007 series.
As the film opens, the reason for the wedge is quickly revealed.
Both the Gotham City police and Batman are investigating an arms smuggling leader named Penguin. While the Gotham City media are reporting on Batman's deeds of hoeing and punishing evil, another new star in Gotham's political circles is also rising. It was Harvey Dent, the prosecutor who hated evil and publicly stated in the media that he wanted to send all criminals in Gotham City to prison.
With media reports, Batman and Harvey Dent gradually became known as the 'Dark Knight' and the 'Light Knight'.
At the same time, as the heir to the Wayne family, Bruce Wayne also had to face minor troubles in life.
Catwoman Selina Kyle failed to get along with Bruce Wayne in the previous episode. Afu, the butler who has been worrying about the inheritance of the Wayne family, constantly arranged various blind dates for Wayne. The plot in this aspect is also in line with the first episode, so it also contains most of the laughs gathered.
Cindy Crawford guest stars as one of Bruce Wayne's blind dates.
Of course, the girl does not appear as a supermodel in the film, but as a strong woman who is too busy with her career to take care of life-long matters. She is also forced by her family to go on a blind date. She has a straightforward personality and admires Batman very much. She thinks that Bruce ·Wayne is just a big playboy who inherited a huge family fortune and has nothing to do with it.
Especially after he performed a small heroic act in front of Wayne, he noticed Wayne's "retreat" in that small incident, and he looked down upon him even more.
The two exchanged lies, and Cindy's character quickly dumped Wayne.
Of course, according to the plot from beginning to end, things will definitely be reversed. During a war, Batman accidentally saved Cindy's character. The strong woman also had some vague doubts about Batman's identity, which seemed familiar to her, but the matter was not exposed after all.
Back to the main line.
Batman and Harvey Dent have joined forces several times in tacit understanding, causing the Penguin to suffer heavy losses.
During a court trial, the crazed Penguin sent his men to publicly pour acid on Harvey Dent's face in the courtroom, causing half of Dent's face to be disfigured.
As a person who is strong at heart, Harvey Dent gradually went to extremes when faced with the rejection and sympathy of the people around him after the incident.
In order to punish the Penguin for his evil deeds, Batman destroyed the Penguin's lair with violence and sent a lot of minions to the hospital.
Harvey Dent, who went to extremes, planted a bomb in the hospital where Penguin's men gathered. In a big explosion that destroyed the entire hospital, he announced the birth of "Two-Face".
That's right.
In this plot, Simon once again referred to the scene in Nolan's version of "The Dark Knight" in which the Joker blows up the hospital, but this time the villain was replaced by Two-Face.
Penguin is still on the run.
Batman had to fight against two villains.
Realizing that Batman was obstructing his 'justice', Harvey Dent joined forces with the Penguin, but privately wanted to get rid of the Penguin and Batman together, because he stubbornly believed that he was the embodiment of justice. , the entire Gotham City, neither Penguin nor Batman should exist.
As it happens, the Penguin is trying to smuggle a dirty bomb capable of destroying a city.
The two-faced man who was continuously frustrated went to more crazy extremes and further believed that the entire Gotham City that abandoned him should not exist.
then.
Gotham City faces an unprecedented crisis of destruction.
