Gossip lovers discovered a surprising thing in late 2001. The well-known "Sun" published an apology notice just a few days after it published a report on the so-called "audience" scam. Well, it can't be said to be an apology, but anyone with a discerning eye can see the meaning behind the words "obviously our information is not complete" and so on.
Many people feel that it is inexplicable. With the stubborn character of "The Sun", it will never bow its head and admit its mistake until the mountains and rivers are exhausted. As for that time in 1994, let's not say that the "Sun" had not yet formed its current style at that time. That reporter was indeed too stupid. Even the current "Sun" encountered that kind of thing. It is also a trouble.
So what's the reason for this quick apology? Some people said that it was because Pixar released Miss Emma Watson's audition video on TV for the first time and declared that it would consider filing a lawsuit, but then someone retorted that the "Sun" was not sued twice. Not a threat at all; others say it may be because Angela Mason, one of the parties, has blogged that it is possible to refuse an interview with The Sun and consider buying it, although others argue that contact The context of the blog This is obviously a joke, can Angela buy the tabloids with any more money
In short, each has its own reason, and no one is convinced by the other. Of course, for these people what is always seen is only the surface, and behind-the-scenes deals are never done in the sun.
In any case, it was only the British who were arguing about it. As for the Americans, their eyes were drawn to a certain movie early. This is a movie that many people have been waiting for since the beginning of the year - "Brokeback Mountain"!
"Hey, look at you guys, handsome young guys and beautiful girls." Angela smiled and spread her hands, while the flashing lights were constantly on, and respectively spoke with Ledger, Gyllenhill, Michelle and Sarah hugged.
"You are the same, Angela, no one is more dazzling than you." Heath Ledger in a suit and bow tie said with a smile, but his left hand and Michelle Williams in a purple one-shoulder evening dress had ten fingers fasten.
Angela, who noticed this, didn't show much surprise. After all, they already had this sign when they closed the mirror, so they just said with a sarcastic tone: "So open and aboveboard, do you plan to open the relationship?"
"In fact, just a few minutes ago, they had generously admitted under the reporter's questioning." Gyllenhill next to him interjected, but although there was joy as a friend on his face, he was also a little worried.
"What? You want to pursue Sarah, but Sarah doesn't dump you?" Angela deliberately glanced back and forth between him and Sarah.
"Stop teasing me like that, okay?" Gyllenhill smiled wryly, and Sarah gave her a roll of eyes.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this topic." Angela patted his arm comfortingly, "Don't worry, I'm sure that your family will be proud of you when today is over."
The girl knew what Gyllenhill was thinking. When he agreed to play the role of "Brokeback Mountain", both his parents and sisters were opposed to it, and his sister even said that he might catch up with his future. Although a compromise was finally reached, the conflict has not completely subsided, so the pressure on Gyllenhill has never been small.
"Thank you for your auspicious words first." Gyllenhill shrugged, and the worries subsided a lot unconsciously.
"You're welcome, let's go in, they've taken enough photos." Angela said and gave Sarah a mocking and urging smile, before she turned her eyes away and took the lead in walking to the theater .
As for the reporters around who were desperately pressing the shutter, as she just said, enough photos have been taken. Of course, the repeated questions were ignored by the girl, and there was a press conference after that, wasn't it
There were a lot of guests attending the premiere, but this time, in addition to the people in the circle, there are members of gay organizations, and inviting them is a gesture. You must know that for most people, the reason why they are looking forward to "Brokeback Mountain" is mainly because they are curious about the gay film directed by Miss Angel, and gay people are more excited. So whether it is for publicity or box office, it is very necessary to win over them.
However, these are all things Ed should consider. Although Angela doesn't mind supporting them from her own perspective, it's just that her plan has not been completed and her sexual orientation has not been exposed, so the necessary distance must be maintained. . After all, unlike most Hollywood stars, she can express her understanding and support for homosexuality, but she absolutely cannot. So for the members of these gay organizations, she basically just talked a few things in general.
To the girl's surprise, Jennifer Aniston was also among the guests. She has a good relationship with herself and with the GLAAD group, so it's normal to go to the premiere, but come along with her boyfriend.
"Hey, Jenny, it's nice to meet you." Angela hugged Jennifer generously, and then smiled and stretched out her hand to the man beside her: "Hello, Mr. Pete."
"Hello, Miss Angela, frankly speaking, you are much prettier than the magazine." Brad Pitt said complimentingly, holding her hand. "You can call me Brad or Bly."
I have to admit that this kid does have something to attract women, and his grin is very attractive, but unfortunately it doesn't work for someone.
"You really can talk, Bly," Angela said, looking narrowly at Jennifer, "how many women have you said that to?"
"Um..." Brad raised his hands for the first time, while Jennifer covered her mouth and chuckled.
Frankly speaking, Angela doesn't have much affection for Brad, she doesn't know why, maybe it's because of Jennifer? Although she and Jennifer haven't seen each other very much in recent years, they have always kept in touch - Angela keeps in touch with all "old friends", and as long as she has time, she will not miss the broadcast of "Friends".
Interestingly, Jennifer and Pitt have not yet reached the point of talking about marriage, and they have only known each other for less than a year. For this situation, Angela didn't know whether to smile bitterly or be happy.
Without waiting for the embarrassed Brad to reply, the girl immediately changed the subject: "You know, Bligh, my aunt raved about you after her comeback in "Eleven Arhats", and both Davids said You're a pretty good actor."
Brad was stunned for a moment, then he understood who "Aunt" and "Two Davids" were, and couldn't help grinning: "Whether it's Finch or Soderbergh, they are both excellent directors, no matter who they are with I have benefited a lot from working together. As for Julia, no one can deny that she is one of the best actresses."
"Really?" Injira rolled her eyes, "Then what about the one next to you?"
"Jenny lacks opportunities in film, but she's unmatched in TV. But in my mind, no matter what others say, she's the best and the best!" Brad's mind didn't turn around. Slow, objective and expressive, so in exchange for Jennifer's small but very sweet kiss on his face.
Angela snorted softly in her heart. She wanted to ask, "What about the one standing in front of you?" But after seeing Jennifer's smiling face, she could only forget it. At this moment, a thought from a few years ago resurfaced in my mind, and the girl couldn't help laughing softly.
"I suddenly had an idea," Angela said with a smile, seeing that Jennifer and Brad were attracted by their laughter. "There is a fairly good script, I wonder if Jenny is interested."
"You mean..." Jennifer's eyes suddenly lit up. Although "Friends" has been broadcast for several years, she has accumulated huge popularity, but the TV series will end one day, so she, Cornett, Matthew and others are all trying to find a way to develop to the big screen. It's a pity that although "Friends" has popularized them, it also limited their play style. Among them, Matthew has developed the best in movies.
Even so, Matthew is mostly responsible for laughing in the movies. Similarly, although Jennifer has also received a lot of movies, they are basically roles like silly big sisters. Now Angela herself said whether she should try a role or not, how can she not be surprised, and what does Miss Angel's invitation mean in Hollywood needless to say.
"Don't be too happy, dear," Angela raised her finger and shook it, "First, it's not tailor-made, but I think it's more suitable for you: Second, this role is not easy to play well, a little Attention can become a vase."
The movie in the girl's mouth is naturally "The Magic Remote Control". When she persuaded Kate to play "The Fake God", she made up her mind to switch the roles of the two of them. Now that it has entered the 21st century, "The Magic Remote Control" should also be taken out. I don't know how much Jennifer will do. When she and Kate starred in "Fake God", they were uniformly rated as a vase by film critics.
Having said that, if it is the current Kate, it will definitely perform better, right? Angela suddenly thought of this. Unknowingly, the lover's performance in "The Devil" came to mind, and film critics said it was her best role so far. However, Angela knows that it is not just acting and acting ugly that she can have such a deep feeling. In fact, he can perform the role of Sybil to the extreme, and it is also not entirely by acting and acting ugly.
The feeling of guilt suddenly filled the girl's heart. Finally, she still remembered what occasion it was in, so she adjusted after a few seconds, still smiling and looking at Jennifer: "So, do you still want to try?"
"Of course, why not?" Jennifer answered after thinking for a few seconds.
"Okay, then it's settled." Of course Angela knew what the other party was thinking, and her name was still very attractive. She then added with a smile: "But there is one thing I want to explain first. You know I have been a little busy, so the script may not be completed until the second half of next year."
"It's okay, I'll wait for you." Jennifer nodded and agreed without saying anything.
In fact, Angela can completely complete the outline in the "treasure box" and then find a screenwriter to add the details, but in that case, it would be a bit over the top. Since she wants to try, of course, she should write the script by herself. Anyway, the scripts for "Little Miss Sunshine" and several other films to be completed in person have been completed, and there are no other script plans for next year, so even using the rest time to write is enough.
"I really envy Jenny," Brad deliberately showed a tasteful look at this time, "Can I play the leading role?"
"Frankly speaking, I don't think you are suitable, Bligh, this is a somewhat nonsensical comedy role." No matter whether Brad was tempted or really joking, Angela still refused.
Of course, she didn't say anything to death: "There will be opportunities to cooperate in the future, Bly."
To Brad, it doesn't matter if it's the truth or the politeness, even if Angela is really polite, sometimes the politeness will come true. Of course, there is such a judgment because he does not know what the girl is thinking.
As the guests were seated, the movie finally began to be shown. Although she had watched it countless times during the directing and editing, Angela still deeply appreciated it.
Although the entire framework of the story has not changed, she has made great efforts in the use of cameras and montage techniques. It can be said that while learning, it is also a test of what she has learned in the past few years.
Choosing to direct this film was the right thing to do, and I learned what I wanted. Looking at the beautiful pictures of Montana on the big screen, Angela said silently in her heart.
It is true that the subtle taste of the whole movie made her grasp it quite well. There are reasons for the original version and the reasons for the actors, but more importantly, she played well, although the girl herself did not realize it.
After Ennis said "I swear" through tears, the rhythm of the guitar rumbled, and the camera slowly darkened. Suddenly, the sound of sniffling sounded one after another in the cinema, and there was a faint sob or two.
When the lights came on, after a few seconds of silence, there was warm applause in the theater. Everyone stood up and applauded and paid tribute to the girl in the front row. The two male members of GLAAD even had red eyes. The feeling of sadness that was about to talk moved everyone present.
"I want to say, you did an excellent job, Miss Angela, this movie is amazing!" Ms Anne Prue didn't skimp on her compliments, even though this was the first time she had met Angela.
The girl smiled and greeted familiar people, accepted their congratulations and praise, and then took a few actors to the hall for a press conference. Although the reporters who had been waiting for a long time had sharp questions, and all of them were aggressive as if they had taken the wrong medicine, Angela was a little annoyed but not afraid at all. She was ready to say anything.
"This film isn't a cry for gay rights or a conservative look at gays. I've said it before, I'm just telling a story, a story of love that transcends everything, regardless of gender or identity."
Even so, some reporters still asked relentlessly: "Don't you think that you are a huge banner yourself?"
"I've said what I have to say, there is nothing I can do if someone thinks too much," Angela spread her hands helplessly, "I have the freedom to create, and people also have the freedom to think, right?"
Although the reporters were so aggressive that even the next day newspapers suggested that normal people shouldn't see the movie, most critics' comments were tepid.
The liberal view is more intense, basically applauding Brokeback Mountain.
"It's a miracle of youth, the average age of an actor and director is just over twenty, but whether it's Jack Gyllenhaal or Heath Ledger or Michelle Williams or Sarah Mee Shel Gellar has grasped her roles very well. Especially the two male characters are completely integrated into their own feelings, making people completely unaware of their age! As for the director, I don't think I need to say more. what."
"Gay Western? Sorry, the short title is both inaccurate and ambiguous, but there's no denying that we really can't pinpoint a movie. Or as Angela put it, it's just about A love story. Precise details, veiled emotions give this film a sad ambiguity."
As for the conservatives, although they are very unhappy, they can only be careful to say outrageous things.
"Angela has once again proved her directing ability, and every picture seems to be printed as a postcard. The insight and control of emotions in the whole film once again fully demonstrated her delicate side. Coupled with the fact that she personally produced It's a really good movie with a nice soundtrack and if you ignore something."
Not that they wanted to say that, but... As Ed said before, the subject of homosexuality is a hot potato like racism, and journalists may be free to express their opinions, but they are not.
In particular, well-known film critics, once they are labeled as homosexuals, will not lose their jobs, but it is absolutely inevitable that they will be protested in various ways. If they are not careful, they may be embarrassed. And even if journalists want to express their dislike of homosexuality, they have to put a lot of effort into choosing words and sentences.
The tabloids may speak freely, but the reporters of the big newspapers have to be very careful, otherwise it will definitely be a frustrating thing if a gay group protests against the paper.
Even so, it does not mean that conservatives have nothing to do. You can protest and I can protest. On the second day of the premiere, several religious groups mobilized tens of thousands of people to jointly call on movie theaters in various states to boycott the release of "Brokeback Mountain".
It's a pity that it's 2001 and many gay organizations are much more radical than they were a few years later!
