Acting King's Daily [Comprehensive British and American]

"Eric Xavier and Andrew Nicol, a phenomenal duo."

After the 1th Golden Globe Awards Ceremony on January 21, the famous film critic of the "Chicago Sun" and once Pulitzer Prize winner Roger Ebert wrote a special article, the above sentence is the title .

The article mentioned "Gait close" the year before last, and "The Truman Show" (98 million), which was released last year and became the top box office chart in North America in 2.31.Well, the two of them have only worked together on these two movies in total, but it is undeniable that both of them have received high reviews, ranking in the top twenty scores on the IMDB website.In terms of honors, although "Gatta" was inevitably shrouded in the shadow of "Titanic", it only won the best make-up award at the Academy Awards, but as Gu Qing once said, the Oscar The honor is just icing on the cake for "Gattaca", it can't be more meaningful, and for "Gattaca", just the first film with a box office of more than one billion US dollars in film history is enough to be recorded in history, and even more so. Needless to say, "Gait Shot" has far-reaching practical significance.

Let's talk about "The Truman Show", this movie is closer to reality, and the irony is more profound at present. Reproducibility, "The Truman Show" now has more solid box office results. In 98, it topped the North American box office list and No. 98 in the global box office in 2. It is also a result worthy of attention.

In addition, as a non-pure literary film, its artistry is also commendable-at the 56th Golden Globe Awards Ceremony that just passed, it won Gu Qing his second Golden Globe Award for Best Actor Award, achieved the consecutive award for Best Actor in the Drama Series!In addition, "The Truman Show" also won the Best Screenplay Award, Best Supporting Actor Award and Best Film Score Award.

To be honest, for Hollywood, "Saving Private Ryan" won the best picture award in the drama category and the best director award, or "Shakespeare in Love" won the best picture award in the musical/comedy category and the best musical/comedy category. The Best Actress Award (Gwyneth Paltrow) is no more impactful than Eric Xavier's re-election of the Best Actor Award in a Drama Series.

The first two won that kind of award, that was expected, even Gwyneth Paltrow won the best actress in a musical/comedy category, as expected, look at the other nominations in this category Or, their competitiveness is not high, Gwyneth Paltrow can win the award, in the eyes of many people, it is #小子里拉General#, the competition for the Best Actor/Actress in a Drama Series It is intense in the orthodox sense.

But Eric Xavier's reelection?

This is not to say that the history of the Golden Globe Awards has not won the Best Actor Award in succession. It has been in the past few years. , "Forrest Gump" won the 51st and 52nd Golden Globe Awards for Best Actor in a Drama Series, and went further and won the Best Actor Award for those two Oscars.

But the point of the problem is not here, but that Tom Hanks was nearly 40 years old at that time, and he was 33 years old when he won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Musical/Comedy category for the first time with "Flying to the Future". Years old.This doesn't seem to catch the point better. The more important point is that Tom Hanks is not an idol, not a Hollywood heartthrob, not a handsome guy who can attract countless fans just by his face. Big film festivals are discriminated against because of their high appearance.

This may be compared with another Tom, Tom Cruise.I think that when Tom Cruise won the Best Actor Award in Music/Comedy for "Mr. Not recognized by most people.

This seems to be an old-fashioned question, but the media still inevitably brought it up again. As for wanting to know that Hollywood's "curse of beauty" has been broken?I still want to imply, for example, public relations, that the Golden Globes are Eric Xavier's mother or something, so it depends on how they write reports.

Is not this nonsensical?

However, the media also came to the same goal. In view of the fact that their reports have won the attention of the public and increased sales, in the final analysis, it is because 'Eric Xavier' is the most popular, and the popularity of any topic on him will rise again and again.

On the bright side, among ordinary movie fans, the discussion of "whether Eric Xavier is worth another Golden Globe" is far less than that of "whether Eric Xavier will take advantage of the situation" The next statuette'.

It can be seen that Gu Qing's acting skills have been widely recognized by movie fans.

In addition, I have to say that Roger Ebert's article after the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony can be regarded as an endorsement for Gu Qing to a certain extent.

"What did you do?" After Cameron came over in a hurry, that was all he said.

Gu Qing seemed to be a beat behind, and made Cameron wait for a while, but did not wait for his answer. Cameron said angrily, "Are you dumb?"

"This is your next sentence? I mean, you just asked me what I did, without any qualifying words. No matter how I can guess, I can't guess what you want to ask me, so I just wait You said the qualifier, so it didn’t exist?”

Cameron glared at Gu Qing after he was speechless, and Gu Qing blinked with an innocent look.From Cameron's point of view, he couldn't be beaten more, but Cameron wouldn't really beat him up, so he had to hold his breath, and said angrily after finishing: "The report written by Roger Ebert is still When did you have an unusual relationship with Steven Spielberg and George Lucas? I can understand Spielberg. You almost made a movie together before. What about Lucas? You two are completely at odds with each other, I didn't know you would shoot his Star Wars."

"When you say that, I know what's going on."

After Gu Qing finished speaking suddenly, Cameron gave him another gouged out look.

Gu Qing shrugged. The related incidents mentioned by Cameron were nothing more than Steven Spielberg and George Lucas saying that they were looking forward to working with Gu Qing when they were interviewed. The affirmation of Gu Qing's acting skills can also be said to be for the upcoming Oscars.

Also, as Cameron said, Gu Qing and Steven Spielberg still have a bit of a relationship when they insist on pursuing it. "ET".But George Lucas, the father of Star Wars, Gu Qing really didn't seem to have any interaction with him before this, so that he "emerged" at this stall, everyone was confused, and it was not clear whether the two of them were How did it get involved? Afterwards, people speculated whether Gu Qing was going to star in the "Star Wars Prequel" that George Lucas was preparing.

Gu Qing went through the recent news, and when Cameron was getting impatient, he said, "He and Peter are good friends."

Cameron didn't realize it for a while: "...who?" It's like punching cotton, okay?

"Peter Jackson, the director of "The Lord of the Rings." Gu Qing rested his forehead with his hands, ignored Cameron's panic-stricken mood, and continued slowly, "The two of them are good friends, and you also Knowing that I am an investor in "The Lord of the Rings", and that "Star Wars Episode One" directed by Lucas will be released in May this year, so—"

Gu Qing didn't finish his sentence, but Cameron also understood that this matter is nothing more than a win-win situation. As a well-known director, George Lucas, he can say a good word for Gu Qing, which is thousands of times better than many low-level people. A bad sentence has far more impact.In exchange, "Star Wars Prequel One" took the opportunity to get a very ingenious and inexpensive publicity. You must know that the current enthusiasm for the follow-up of the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony is very high.

After Cameron figured it out, he said, "Why didn't you say it earlier!" But his expression softened, and he frowned again after sitting on the sofa. He asked Gu Qing three things, but The guy answered one of them, and it was the least relevant one—"You're avoiding the important."

Gu Qing looked regretful: "Did you find out?"

Cameron: "...Eric Xavier!"

Gu Qing restrained his pretended regret, and put on a look of nostalgia: "James, to be honest, the more I get in touch with the entertainment industry, the more I get in touch with other directors, the more I think you are the best one." one."

Cameron was stunned, and then snorted coldly: "If you don't use a tone of condolences, then I believe in your sincerity even more." , which is more convincing.

Gu Qing laughed: "Do you want me to have both voice and emotion? I think I can recite poems."

Cameron showed a look of disgust: "Don't change the subject!"

"Okay," Gu Qing compromised, "Roger Ebert's film review, I really didn't do anything in it, if that's what you want to know."

Cameron snorted.

Gu Qing continued: "Just for reference, I am still very popular with film critics." This time, the three major film critic awards, the New York Film Critics Association Award, the North American Broadcasting Film The best actor award went to Gu Qing.

After hearing this, Cameron looked at Gu Qing suspiciously.

This is not to say that Cameron questioned Gu Qing's acting skills, but because he has been thinking about Gu Qing's decision to sharpen his knife and rush to the academy, so he is so suspicious, always thinking that no matter what Gu Qing is doing now, he is doing it for his own sake. The last hit sets the stage.

As for why Cameron felt that Gu Qing was going to take action at this year's Oscars, on the one hand, he knew that Gu Qing was not the kind who would keep grudges in the next year; on the other hand, he vaguely heard some rumors about Wayne. The Stan Brothers are doing a lot for "Shakespeare in Love", so a half-biographical film and half-love movie public relations, and then think of "Saving Private Ryan", the most popular Oscar for Best Picture this year, its director Steven Spielberg and Gu Qing also showed signs of... hanging out.

Gu Qing narrowed his eyes, opened a skylight and said bright words: "James, are you implying that I am planning something, such as tripping the academy?"

Cameron stared at him: "Are you?"

"Well——" Gu Qing prolonged the meaningless monosyllable, and after a sudden stop, he said: "Is it?"

Cameron: "..."

The little bastard admitted it, but what kind of attitude is "really?"Cameron snorted again, and Gu Qing wanted to know if he had any other reactions other than "hum" today.

Cameron didn't wait for Gu Qing to say anything again, he gritted his teeth: "What are you going to do?"

"Did you just wait for me to tell you my thoughts in detail, James?" Sure enough, Gu Qing was serious for only three seconds, and then he started to flirt again, "Believe me, I have watched a lot of movies, and I have summed up One rule: villains will fail in the end, and the main reason is that they talk too much."

As a director, Cameron couldn't help but think back to the movies he had made. After realizing what he was doing, he twitched his mouth and complained: "Are you the villain? Or do you think you are filming now? movie?"

Gu Qing made sense: "Be careful sailing for ten thousand years."

Seeing that Cameron was choking on him, he quickly removed a handful of firewood and revealed what he wanted to do next, "Actually, I plan to open a "Lord of the Rings" in two weeks. The Masquerade Ball with the theme of "Lord of the Rings" is inspired by Mr. Lucas's approach. As an investor of "The Lord of the Rings" and a co-founder of ET Films, I should do my best to promote "The Lord of the Rings."

This seems to have nothing to do with what they said earlier, but Gu Qing, who has always died of logic and has never been surpassed, doesn't care about logic. Not only that, he also asked Cameron enthusiastically, "Have you seen Tolkien?" Most of the work sir, right? James, do you have a character you want to be? I think you know I can help you technically, so even if you want to be a Balrog, or a Smaug, in There is no problem at all with the last giant dragon in Earth World."

Let alone the Balrog, it is Smaug, this fire-breathing dragon, um, a giant fire-breathing dragon, is very directional.Of course Cameron could tell that he originally planned to yell at Gu Qing, who teased him, but after thinking about it, he didn't need it, so the director crossed his arms and looked at the brazen Gu Qing: "Since you miss me so much Playing as Smaug, I'd feel sorry for saying no, so, well, I'll just wait until you get that dragon out of the way." If he remembers correctly, there is no The length of Smaug is recorded, but it seems that the middle-earth book fans generally agree that Smaug is 18 meters long.

This is not a problem, but the problem is that if Smaug is really restored, it will not be Cameron himself cosplaying.Fortunately, for Gu Qing, a technical geek, he can always find a way to get the best of both worlds, so he agreed.

Gu Qing was so straightforward, which made Cameron a little upset, and he also had a bad feeling, but the water was hard to stop, and he would not go back on his word, so this matter was settled like this.

It is worth mentioning that in two weeks, the nominations for this year's Academy Awards will be announced.

……

Gu Qing wanted to hold such a theme party, to some extent it was really a whim.When this news was leaked, many people responded, not only because they wanted to attend the party, but also the TV station wanted to discuss whether the party could be broadcast live to the outside world. How star-studded this party will be, and considering Gu Qing's identity, it should not only be people from the entertainment circle, but also other circles, such as business, political, or scientific circles, etc. Such a party is definitely a sharp weapon to increase attention .

As for the issue of media interviews and live broadcasts, Gu Qing thinks that this can be done, and the media department will be responsible for this matter.

Gu Qing also accepted an interview. When asked why he wanted to hold such a party, he said without thinking: "To promote the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy."

The reporters were stunned again, why didn't they play their cards according to the routine this time?

Gu Qing raised his eyebrows: "Is it too simple? Well, let's add it to celebrate the good results of "The Truman Show"."

It's not a simple question, is it?This is simply too straightforward, and what is the reason that other people will use to connect with each other and build a harmonious entertainment circle?The reporters are complaining in their hearts, but they will still report truthfully when they look back. It’s good to be straightforward, and it’s wonderful to be straightforward, so that it will be more conflicting, isn’t it?

And "The Truman Show" should be celebrated. When it officially surpassed "Saving Private Ryan" at the North American box office, it didn't celebrate it, and it didn't even when the global box office exceeded 4 million US dollars. This is still puzzling. Well, it turned out that they were waiting to celebrate together after becoming the big winner at the Golden Globe Awards... So, it was inevitable to mention "The Truman Show" in the report, and also pre-push "The Truman Show". What kind of nominations will "The World of Doors" get at this year's Oscars? Nominations for best picture are indispensable, nominations for best actor are also guaranteed, and the remaining nominations for best director, best screenplay and best actor Nominations for supporting roles are very likely.

This is recognized by many media, and now we are waiting for the nominations of the 71st Academy Awards to be announced.

--get high.
