On January 5, 2000, "The Pianist" was released in 1,000 theaters across the United States. This treatment is much better than that of "Schindler's List". Spielberg's film did not reach 100 until three days later when it was released in 1993, and it was only 1,400 at most. The debate surrounding her this year has really played a big role, otherwise even Ed's ability to persuade the theater owners to extend the showtime of "Death Is Coming" and "The Grudge" may not make them willing increase the number of theaters at the time of release.
The public is also very face-saving, even though many people have read the survey conducted by the "New York Times", and there are also young people who have expressed this view on the Internet - they think that the film Miss Genius is boring, dull, not good-looking, only The soundtrack and the piano playing for the German officers behind it are better, but they also agree that The Pianist is by no means a bad movie.
But the major theaters were basically full on the first day of the show. After all, there were really not many movies that could cause quarrels on both sides of the Atlantic, plus "Angela", "Miss Genius at Nineteen", "World War II Holocaust". "These key words have been fermented for a year, enough to arouse people's curiosity to see Fangrong, so they received 3 million US dollars that day!
This figure is completely comparable to the one and a half week performance of "Schindler's List", which is already an incredible figure among those dull literary films. No wonder some media can't help but say sourly saying "Young Pretty is good." However, most of the voices that will come up are European media. Although the critics on the other side of the Atlantic basically know the situation of "The Pianist", the film will be released for some time after all. There is always a bit of embarrassment, but maybe I miss it so much.
The American media, which should have been arrogant and arrogant, didn't fight back at this time. They all spent their time making up for their previous criticism of Angela and interviewing other directors and actors. How can there be a guy on the Atlantic side of the air traffic control? , Instead of continuing to fight, it is better to wait for the film to be released in Europe and then "discuss" with them. Readers who come back to it at that time will also like to watch it.
"It's a great movie and Angela does some of the details better than I do. I'm so excited to see another great movie about that history coming out, she's a genius who can challenge everyone's imagination ." Spielberg said in an interview with the media.
"She has an extraordinary intelligence. Maybe you will be confused by her beautiful appearance and wonder if she has this ability, but when you work with her, you will know that all doubts are untenable. "This is Brody Adrian's answer when asked about his impression of Angela on a talk show.
"As long as she decides, there is basically no failure, because she always does it wholeheartedly." "Duchess" Julia Roberts, who was stopped by reporters on the street, replied with a smile, and with her The niece Emma Roberts, who was together, waved a small fist to them and said mischievously: "There is nothing in this world that Angie can't do!"
Most of the directors and stars of Hollywood also rave about The Pianist and Angela. As Angela's friends, James Cameron, David Fincher or Nicole Kidman, Kevin Spacey and others are naturally sincere compliments. As for the others, because of jealousy, sympathy, or flattery, who knows
"It's finally out, and I'm glad I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
It's not really an entertainment movie, and I'm not putting it on the screen for fun. I just want to use the biography of Mr. Spearman to restore what happened at that time as objectively as possible. Of course, this is a film not a documentary, and the necessary retouching and artistic processing are still necessary.
Luckily, it looks like I'm not doing a bad job, and it would be even better if the film received a personal compliment from Mr. Spearman when it was released in Poland.
I hope that more people will go to the cinema to watch this film, then go home and re-read the novel "The Pianist", and then carefully search for relevant historical materials, so that people may have a deeper understanding of that period of history. In any case, saving one person is like saving the whole world! "
This is the latest article on Angela's blog. It has been reprinted by major newspapers with permission. Critics generally believe that this is an injustice for the German officer named De Hoosenfeld. Spearman's son Andrez has made several requests to Israel's official Holocaust memorial to grant D'Horsen Sold's international righteous title, but has been denied each time.
The TV media also contacted Angela through various channels to ask her to appear on the show, but they were basically turned down as before, even on Oprah's talk show.
"I don't want to offend you, Opp, but I really don't have much time, and I'm going to be on set in a few days—actually I should be leaving today, but it's been so long since I've been away from my friends, Had to ask the crew for a few days off. I wanted to give them all the time, so I'm so sorry I couldn't agree," Angela said on the phone.
"Is that so? Well, I think I can understand it. It's really regrettable. If possible, I hope to know when you are free?" He said regretfully.
"Sorry, I can't give you a definite time, because the film is made abroad and the cycle is quite long." Angela explained, "and I still have a lot of things to deal with."
"I understand, I hope to hear good news from you next time." The other side finally gave up the idea of persuading her.
"Oprah is indeed an excellent woman, and I was almost tempted. Unfortunately, I'm really not in the mood to be on the show right now, not at all." Angela, who hung up the phone, pouted. Jessica, who was drinking coffee next to her, rolled her eyes and said, "I really know how to speak sarcastically. Many people don't have the chance to appear on her show."
"If I'm on her show, should other people think about it? Then where will the time be with you?" Angela put her head on her crossed hands and looked at Jessica with a smile, "It won't happen in the future. There's no chance, so why bother."
"Yeah, for a person who can turn down the chance to be on the cover of "Time", what else is worth caring about." Although Jessica said this deliberately, her eyes were full of tenderness. Angela gave her the same smile, then looked at the two little guys who were still muttering over there: "How long are you going to linger?"
"Why are you in such a hurry, you said there's still time." Although Lindsay complained, she still sat down with the guitar, and Avril patted her on the shoulder encouragingly: "You can do it, Lin. race!"
The little girl nodded and gave her a smile, and then she turned to Angela. After Angela signaled to start, she plucked the strings and sang: "The dream that vaguely appeared in front of me, the dream that wrapped around my heart, seemed like it would never reach the other side..."
It's a country song, and Lindsay's slightly raspy vocals, along with the light guitar, give it a different flavor. Angela, who was still smiling, gradually became surprised. She didn't expect that she only gave Lindsay one-third of the original song and the approximate meaning of the lyrics, and the little guy actually made it similar to the original song. the tune!
When the little guy sang "this is the climb" with a deep emotional reverberation, Jessica, who was listening, couldn't help but beat the beat gently, and Avril, who had helped a lot, He raised his hands even more happily.
Is it such a coincidence that it resonates with this melody because you are unyielding and eager to prove yourself? Angela looked at Lindsay with relief. It's great that my efforts were not in vain.
But at this moment, the music suddenly stopped, and Lindsay, who was singing, stared straight ahead and didn't know what to think.
"What's the matter, Lindsay?" Jessica asked with concern, and Avril cried out in a hurry: "What are you doing, Lindsay! Why did you stop suddenly when you sang so well?! You Do you still want to pass!"
"Wait, wait." Lindsay raised her palm to stop their questioning. After a few minutes, she showed an excited look, jumped up with a guitar and shouted at Avril: "Give me a pen and paper, Wei Wei. Wei, give me a pen and paper! I can think of a better lyric! I'm going to jot it down! Right now!"
"Ah?" The three people, including Angela, were stunned for a moment. That's why she stopped singing in a daze? Avril couldn't help rolling her eyes: "If you still have memory, you should know where the paper and pen are!"
Lindsay was stunned, and immediately ran to the original desk and chair, while shouting excitedly: "I'll be right back, this test won't count! I can come up with something better!"
Looking at her lively back, Angela smiled and shook her head, glanced at Avril beside her and asked with interest, "Tell me the truth, Vivi, how much did you help her?"
"Who? Lindsay?" Avril couldn't help raising her eyebrows, "Why, you suspect she cheated?"
"Hey, I didn't say that," Angela rolled her eyes. "It seems that I asked you to help her. I just want to ask how much you participated and how much she created."
"Most of it was done by Lindsay herself. I'm just a consultant. You know I'm better at rock than country." Avril looked at her strangely, "Don't you have any confidence in her?"
"Where did you come to such a conclusion?" Angela rolled her eyes again, she just wanted to verify her judgment. It was a coincidence, and an amazing one!
Angela changed the topic: "Tell me about you, Weiwei, how is the new song? I heard that the release date is July."
"It's already ready. Although I can't cover my entire album like you do, all the five songs I wrote have passed, and I can start recording next month at the most." Avril said enthusiastically. Then she glanced at Angela a little embarrassedly, and asked Ai Ai for a while: "That... Angie, you can... "
Angela chuckled softly: "I wrote two songs for you, which have been handed over to the company, you will like it."
"That's great, thank you!" Avril immediately put her arms around Angela's neck and kissed her.
The girl accepted the kiss with peace of mind. Those two songs were the original punk rock that she worked so hard to create for Aizanger, so they deserved the kiss.
"After the millennium, the music world will be my world!" Lavigne raised her head and announced confidently.
"Really? Then postpone the release date to September with me." Angela said deliberately.
"Don't even think about it, I will surpass you, but not now." Vivi was not fooled at all, she rolled her eyes and said with a teasing: "You know, Brit and Christine are going to have a concert this year, If you don't work hard, maybe they will surpass you before me."
"It turns out that I'm so easy to be surpassed, I didn't expect it." Angela smacked her lips with a look of emotion.
"Hey, I'm just referring to music, don't think about it." Avril reminded.
"Don't be too proud, dear, if I have time..." Angela hummed, and the topic suddenly changed: "It sounds like you have a good relationship with Brit and Christine."
"Not bad? Forget it, they're a popular group, they're just ordinary friends." Avril pouted.
"When did you start to like talking like this?" Angela couldn't help laughing.
Weiwei scratched her head and said a little depressedly: "Brit, that guy knows how to show off all day long, like a small child. Christine is a little better than her, but only a little bit, sometimes I really I don't want to walk with them."
"Do you think you are qualified to say that women older than you are like children?" Angela asked with interest. Speaking of which, Britney always looks docile and well-behaved in front of her, and her wild and arrogant side has only been said by Christine and some staff of the record company, so what are the two of them in Vivi's eyes? How does it look
However, Avril did not describe her feelings in detail, but said a little strangely: "To be honest, Angie, I think there is something strange between Brit and Christine. They seem to have a subtle relationship."
Angela was slightly startled, but she still pretended to be nothing on the surface: "A delicate relationship? Probably because they live together so far, and the tacit understanding between them is relatively deep."
"Is that so?" Avril looked suspicious, she thought about it before saying: "Anyway, I think something is wrong. I remember when I went to their house once, Brit actually tried to kiss me... I think she looks like are seducing me."
"What... what?" Angela couldn't help but feel like she was about to sweat profusely, and at the same time she was a little annoyed, what the hell was this guy Brit thinking? Doesn't Kristen think about her
Fortunately, Lindsay called out at this time: "Weiwei, come and do me a favor, it's only a few minutes."
"No problem!" Avril immediately ran towards her, making Angela heave a sigh of relief in her heart.
In any case, they are changing under their influence. The girl said to herself, it's like Lindsay can write lyrics and songs similar to the original "The climb", probably because of her father, she has been smiling a lot more lately - I hope Michael Lohan can last longer - Maybe Brit's behavior was just a prank? but…
Angela sighed in her heart, and she thought of the encounter on Fifth Avenue that day.
"I didn't expect to see you here, it's such an honor."
"Ah, do you like this one? Sell it then."
"It feels great to walk on the runway. You don't have to worry about too many things, just show your good side."
Nikki's attitude towards herself that day was quite friendly, but Paris has a formulaic smile and a lukewarm tone, clearly rejecting people thousands of miles away. But after more than a year, she was no longer the little girl who would deliberately raise prices with Angela at auctions, and always naively approached "Miss Genius" to show off her desire to be recognized. She is already a fashion magazine. A woman who is described as cool and lazy.
Angela didn't understand why her unintentional actions had such a result? What happened after Paris and Nikki had a relationship? When the two sisters left that day, Paris held her sister's hand tightly as if the other party would disappear from her side at any moment. Unsolved conundrum... But maybe it's a good thing for Paris
"Angie, why are you in a trance again?" At this moment, Jessica's voice brought her back to her senses from her wild thoughts.
"Ah? Oh, sorry, you know I always... " Angela spread her hands embarrassedly.
Jessica pouted slightly: "You always do this."
"Okay, okay, sorry." Angela hugged Jessica's shoulder and shook it affectionately.
"I don't blame you for anything." Jessica smiled understandingly, and then asked seriously, "Angie, if Lindsay meets your requirements, will you really write a script for her?"
"Of course, how could I not speak," Angela raised her eyebrows proudly, "and it's already been prepared, don't worry, Jesse, I guarantee that the little guy will like this story."
The script Angela prepared for Lindsay was the movie "Good Girls Are Big Stars" based on Disney's TV series "Hannah Montana"! She knows very well that the popularity of this movie is not unrelated to the popularity of the TV series. If it is copied directly, it will definitely be unacceptable, so Angela did not spend too much effort in the adaptation, such as increasing the little girl's star life and making the Its conflict with ordinary life is slightly more acute. But the two core selling points - usually ordinary girls need to become big stars, and the interaction between father and daughter, Angela has retained and played.
There are a lot of youth idol inspirational movies in Hollywood every year. As long as the quality of the movie is higher than the average level, there will be some hype topics—for example, Miss Genius wants to return to ordinary people’s life and so on. The box office will definitely not be a big problem, and the title of sweetheart will not be less for Lindsay.
As for the Disney TV series and Miley Cyrus... who cares!
