atypical hollywood life

The Hughes are one of the few Westerners whose hair growth is not particularly vigorous.The men in the family didn't have the chest hair that Margaret felt dizzy when they saw it, and their faces were smooth, at least much smoother than some people who had just shaved in the morning and had stubble in the evening.This is especially true for Margaret herself. Thanks to her diet and living habits, coupled with her natural good genes, there is really no female star in Hollywood who can compete with her in this regard and skin condition.

Moreover, most of the men she knows are the type who are good at taking care of themselves. Even if they are not good at taking care of themselves, they are not close enough to run around in other people's bathrooms.So she really couldn't believe that Leslie needed to shave every day and accidentally turned into a hairy boy.

Come on, just looking at his face, you can't imagine how fast his beard grows!This is not scientific at all!

"It's quite exuberant." Leslie was also depressed. For him who loves beauty, this is really a sad thing. If you don't shave for a day, you can't see people. It doesn't match his extremely beautiful face.

"You are so narcissistic." Margaret was speechless.

This expression is too obvious. I know you are handsome, but can you not look so handsome?It really doesn't match your face.

"By the way, how about I invite you to watch a movie today?" Leslie touched his clean chin and said.

The two of them had watched a lot of European movies during this time, but they hadn't watched Hong Kong movies. Although Margaret said that she didn't like the handsome Hong Kong guys these days, it didn't prevent her from enjoying Hong Kong movies.Didn't she enjoy watching the previous movies without 'Di Jiang'?Today's Forum of New Cinema session happened to be the turn of "Infernal Affairs" and "PTU". These two films are rare masterpieces on Hong Kong Island in recent years.Perhaps it should be said to be the last glory?

Leslie couldn't help but smile wryly. Even Hong Kong Island's own media said that the movies here have entered the Iron Age, and that each movie is not as good as the last one. What else can you expect others to say?Compared with the grand occasion of ten or 20 years ago when movies could be sold all over Southeast Asia by relying on the credits, the movies on Hong Kong Island are indeed not as good as each year. The reason is that they shot themselves to death, following the trend and shoddy production so that this place will no longer be as brilliant as it was 20 years ago.It's really sad.

"Okay." Margaret agreed.

She really hasn't watched many Hong Kong movies in the past few years. The enthusiasm she had when she was a child seems to have disappeared, and she finds it interesting to watch some of the current works.

Human beings are very strange. Sometimes they put several layers of filters on the things in their memories to beautify them. Margaret is the same.In fact, the movies of the 80s and [-]s may not really be better than the movies of today, but she always feels that the moviemakers of that era are different from those of now!It's not that his appearance has changed, it's just that his spirit has lost his shape, and the things he shoots will be very bland, without that flavor.

Don’t talk about other people’s works, just talk about Gu Long. She always thinks that the Gu Long movies made by Chu Yuan in the early years are the best. The meaning of the novel.Not to mention those films that Gu Long himself wrote and supervised on Taiwan Island.

There is something called charm, which cannot be learned by others.It's like Gu Long's TV series. After watching it for so many years, only the later "Legend of New Chu Liuxiang" and "Lu Xiaofeng" touched the edge of that kind of artistic conception.The rest are more like the works of Jin Daxia.Including the actor who has played Chu Liuxiang many times, Margaret always felt that Chu Liuxiang in the novel should not be like this, at least it should not be like this when Chu Liuxiang was in his prime, maybe the character in "Midnight Orchid" A middle-aged, more mature and wise Chu Liuxiang will be like this, but that will be many years later, and Chu Liuxiang, who is upright and vigorous in his prime, should be the kind of Ti Lung. The room is full of light and wind and the moon.

Well, Margaret's fan filter is probably not going to be taken off for a while, and her obsession with those old movies is probably only comparable to some persistent fans.Now, she is sitting in the cinema watching "Infernal Affairs" with her real "friend" Leslie.

A film about what four men had to tell.Uh, this comment was added by Margaret herself. The gimmicks in the movie are the works of the four powerful movie stars. The few women in it are vases, and they don’t even have the ability to promote the plot. They are not called four. Is the story that must be told between two men the story that must be told between four men and three women?

However, although she felt that the poetic and picturesque feeling in this film was full of slots, Margaret did think that the film was actually beautifully shot, and even had a very romantic feeling, more like a gorgeous opera.The delicate emotional expression makes people have the illusion of looking at an oil painting. It is really refreshing to sweep away the rage and routines of gangster movies on Hong Kong Island before.

"How is it? Do you feel reacquainted with the handsome guys on Hong Kong Island?" Leslie asked Margaret after coming out of the movie theater.

He himself likes this movie very much. It is not as simple and crude as before, and he pays more attention to details in the plot processing.This movie is really a rare masterpiece on Hong Kong Island in recent years.

"I don't have a new understanding of handsome guys in Hong Kong Island, but I am very interested in movies." Margaret said with a smile.

When Mr. Liang first debuted, his name was Xiao Jiang’s copy, oh, now he’s Zhong Jiang, although he’s handsome enough, but she didn’t like it, and she didn’t feel that pair of shoes that are said to have fascinated thousands of girls How charming the electric eyes are; Mr. Liu, Margaret never thought he was handsome!With Mr. Gu's "The Legend of Condor Heroes" in front of her, she was not interested in the so-called "most handsome Yang Guo" anyway.As for the other people in the movie, with all due respect, either they have passed their peak period, or they have not yet reached their peak period, so what is there to watch?

It was the movie itself that attracted her.The Buddha said, "You will never die, and longevity is the catastrophe in the endless hell. The concept of the movie is very interesting. It uses a philosophical shell to cover the core of the gangster movie, which is similar to "The Matrix". And the production of music The use of slow motion makes the whole work look like a love blockbuster, or the European version of an epic love blockbuster.

After watching this movie and watching other gangster movies, there are only two results, either you think other movies are boring, or you think this movie is terribly hypocritical.There are probably not many centrists.

Although Margaret usually doesn't care about the affairs of her small production company, as a boss, she always has to show concern for her company.Although she is not a director, producer or film critic, she can still tell whether a movie is good or bad.Even if the direction of hobbies is different, it doesn't mean that she has no appreciation. On the contrary, Margaret has a good vision, which can be seen from the fact that she bought a bunch of Nicholas Sparks' novel adaptation rights.

After being in Hollywood for so many years, and growing up in a commercial and artistic environment, Margaret keenly discovered that "Infernal Affairs", a typical oriental romantic gangster movie, can be adapted into an American movie. gangster movie.

Mutual undercover and so on, not only in the east, but also in the west.Even the core of this movie can not only be adapted into a gangster movie, but also a spy movie, a business war movie, and there are many places that can be manipulated.It is not difficult to come up with a female version of "Infernal Affairs". Just one New York is enough to provide dozens of occupations for the remake and interpretation of this movie.

Margaret thinks that Norman will like this movie, even if she doesn't like it, she will make one out of her own pocket. This kind of undercover and spying on each other is really attractive.Maybe she can come up with a double undercover and triple undercover?Or put the subject matter on the FBI, CIA and the Mafia?Or should it be placed in the business wars of large groups?What should I do if there are too many topics?

All of a sudden, Margaret started to let her imagination run wild, opening a new door for herself.

"Interested in movies?" Leslie was surprised.

Most girls watch this movie because of the two male protagonists in it. After all, the two are indeed very attractive in East Asia.The gangster plot is not what they are most concerned about, and the violent plot of this movie is far less than the typical gangster movies in the past. Instead, it is more like a philosophical movie about the meaning of life, which is what many people like.But Leslie knew that was definitely not what Margaret meant.

He has known Margaret for a long time, and he thinks he still has the ability to interpret her language.This girl probably means that she wants to buy the adaptation rights of the movie and play it herself?

"Yeah, you know I have a small film company, and sometimes I make some movies that I am interested in. I want to buy the adaptation rights of "Infernal Affairs" and make an American version. I think it is a It's very interesting. So would you mind introducing me to the production company of the film?" Margaret said with a smile.

He generously admitted that he wanted to buy the film adaptation rights.If there is an insider from Hong Kong Island to connect, it will be much more convenient than her own bumping into it.

"..." Leslie was speechless.

It is really rare for a girl who is so passionate about gangster movies. Even if he knows what Margaret's character is like, it is usually difficult to compare this cold Her Majesty's shell with the one who loves violent movies and loves violence itself. Behavior is linked.It can only be said that that face is too deceptive. People who haven't had a deep understanding of it may think that it is a noble girl who likes to talk about Mozart in a garden full of roses.

This kind of behavior that only looks at the face is really harmful!

"Agree? Or disagree? Do you have something to say to the film producer?" Margaret blinked.

This is not her guessing.It is said that in the heyday of Hong Kong movies, there was only one Hong Kong Island actor who was not shot with a gun to his head. Do you know if Leslie had any conflicts with the company that made this movie?

You can't do things like make things difficult for your friends.If it's not convenient for Leslie, maybe she should try another direction and someone.

Your brain is too big and you should block it. These words were clearly written in Leslie's eyes.Looking at Margaret's little eyes, I knew that she must have thought of some bloody things again. This girl is good at everything, but sometimes she likes to let herself go, thinking about nothing.And the most important thing is that she seems to have little knowledge of the previous history of Hong Kong Island. This kind of people's imagination is often the scariest!
