Chapter 236 Surprise

"He said...he said..." The hero Charles looked at his deaf-mute friend blankly, but with the other's actions, the expression on his face gradually became resolute.

"He said that he suspected that the groom had another love in his heart, so he didn't meet the requirements for marriage." Charles said word by word, and then slowly turned around to look at the bride who was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.

"Is he... true, Charles?" asked the bride, staring at him.

"Yes." Charles nodded, and with a bang, the bride slammed his face hard, Charles fell down in response, and there was a buzzing sound all around. But at the same time, there was laughter from the audience below the screen.

Adrian can't remember how many times they laughed out loud, but he was very happy in his heart. These laughters can prove the popularity of the new version of "Four Weddings and a Funeral" to a certain extent .

"Did you hear that, Julie? Everyone likes it very much." Adrian said in the ear of Julia who was sitting next to her.

"Really?" Although Julia's tone was light, the ups and downs of her chest were very obvious, and her eyes were staring at the screen without blinking, even though she had already watched it once during the test screening.

Adrian chuckled twice, took her hand and slowly stroked it.

With Kelly and Charles embracing each other in the rain, the movie is basically over, but in the next few minutes, the director used pictures to introduce the aftermath of the characters in the play, which is basically regarded as Lovers eventually get married, and the hero and heroine live together all the time even though they are not married.

After the subtitles were played, the lights in the auditorium were finally turned on. After a few seconds of silence, there was a burst of applause. Although not very enthusiastic, it can be regarded as the recognition of the film by the guests who participated in the premiere.

"I won't attend the press conference, I'll wait for you in the car outside." Adrian said in Julia's ear, and at the same time kissed her lightly on the cheek, anyway, the auditorium is in a mess at the moment , no one will notice them.

"Aren't you worried about being discovered by the reporters?" Julia snorted softly.

"I believe you can get rid of them." Adrian smiled slightly, and after rubbing her hand lightly for a while, he followed the guests who left the stage and walked out. Originally, he wanted to talk to Dennis, but he couldn't find anyone, and when he finally found him...

"Sorry, I just..." Dennis gestured with his left hand in embarrassment, while his right hand was firmly wrapped around Winona's waist. If he pulled his hand away, he would fall to the ground and couldn't get up. The expression on his face that he was satisfied with something was so obvious.

"It's nothing, it's just some unimportant things." Adrian smiled and waved his hands. Based on the appearance of the two of them, he knew what to do without saying anything, so he left after saying hello.

It was another fun night, and while "Four Weddings and a Funeral" won unanimous applause from the premiere crowd, it's not clear what the critics will say.

"An excellent romantic and heartwarming love comedy, the whole plot is very tight, although it cannot be said that every minute cannot be missed, but the whole story is still very good. Mike Newell, the British director, fully showed us his inner delicateness On the one hand, four weddings and one funeral are similar but different in details, the same scenes are filmed extraordinary, and those well-chosen and appropriate British humor, once aftertaste Can't help but laugh.

And the most exciting performance is Julia Roberts. We seem to be able to see some of Vivienne's shadows from Kelly. They are all so independent and strong, and they are all so sticking to their principles. . But Kelly is Kelly after all, or has the shadow of Vivienne, but more of it is her own character. Julia fully grasped this difference, especially Kelly rejected Charles and went to him. The shot of the room, the tempting appearance is full of praise..."

After reading this, Adrian put down the newspaper in his hand and sighed, then slapped the buttocks of the naked girl lying next to her with a snap: "Are you listening, Julie?"

"Ed" Julia, who supported her face with her hands, frowned suddenly, and her calves, which were swaying up and down, stopped. She seemed a little angry when she stared at Adrian, but the reproach in her tone couldn't be concealed at all. .

"I'm just a little sad. What I read are all praises for you." Adrian exaggeratedly shook the newspaper in his hand and rattled, "Look, the whole page is full of praises. They say that you have once again created the amazing Impressive character."

"Of course I'm listening. You read it very well." Julia turned her body sideways, and the corners of her mouth curled up, fully exposing her beautiful body to Adrian's face for appreciation, "So let's continue."

"Unfortunately, I don't want to continue now." Adrian said and threw the newspaper aside, and looked at Julia with a smirk. "After reading it for so long, I want some rewards now."

"Wait, Ed, didn't you have to toss enough last night?" Julia immediately leaned back, but as soon as she made a movement, Adrian hugged her into her arms and hugged her firmly from behind.

"Damn it, Ed, I'm really going to be angry." Julia seemed to be struggling violently, waving her fists, but after a while, she gasped and fell into Adrian's arms.

"It's...morning, Ed..."

"Yeah, I know, but isn't it just the right thing to do in the morning?"

"Don't forget... last night... I'm still... a little uncomfortable..."

"Is it? That's just right, let's do it again while we're at it, it's so ecstasy."

"Damn it, don't even think about it... stop it"

Well, without mentioning Adrian and Julia's "backdoor" morning walk, the current situation of "Four Weddings and a Funeral" can only be described as a good one. In addition to those critics who were optimistic about this movie at the beginning, many people who had negative opinions at the beginning have also changed their views.

"This is indeed a good movie, warm and moving. The screenwriter Richard Curtis used some common love stories in life to create a fresh and timeless romantic love story, and the director Mike Newell The excellent and interesting shooting techniques control various scenes freely, coupled with the well-chosen roles, each character has a unique personality, which makes this story deeply impressed by the audience.

Yes, the casting is very appropriate. Needless to say, Kelly played by Julia, this role seems to be tailor-made for her, allowing her to play at least 120% of her strength. The same is true for others, this kind of fit makes them all grasp the point of the role excellently, but the most surprising thing is Dennis Knight who plays the leading actor

Before that, everyone's impression of him was still on street punks, nervous robbers, and decadent men with stubble. It was even more surprising that he suddenly became the hero of a suave romantic comedy Yes, he played this role so well, it almost makes people forget that he has played the role before. He is like beautiful Cinderella in the palace (excuse me if I have to describe it this way, because I am writing I can't think of a better word to get here), barely relatable to past imagery, and if there's a list of surprises this movie brings, I think he'd be at the top of the list. "

This article was written by the critic who didn't like Dennis's role in the romantic comedy. In this respect, the critic is a person of integrity, much better than those who criticize for criticism's sake.

"Long-winded plots, cold jokes that can't be reacted in a long time-if the humor in the movie takes a long time to recollect, then it is obviously a failure. Julia's performance is not bad, as for Dennis, I'd better go Selling on the street is better. If you are really bored, you can go and have a look to pass the time.”

"A movie that is piled up with various fragments, don't expect to spend more than 100 minutes in the cinema happily, the story that is not funny will only make people drowsy."

After all, these guys who criticize for criticism's sake are a minority, and more criticisms have something to say.

"The performances of the actors are remarkable. Julia and Dennis did give people a lot of surprises. The director's arrangement at the wedding is also very distinctive. It can be seen that he has spent a lot of thought on designing the scene-but That's all, the second wedding is the most ridiculous but it's a little out of touch with the third return gift, and Dennis's expression is a little too hard, these may affect the viewing of the movie, they should have done better Yes, let's hope Julia's box-office poison is never mentioned again."

But no matter how critics express their opinions in the newspaper media, "Four Weddings and a Funeral", which was released in 1,100 theaters in its first weekend, earned 12 million at the box office and occupied fourth place on the North American box office list. bit

Although this is not a particularly good result, it can be considered to be in the forefront in terms of movies of the same type. But this is not over yet. When the weekend of the second week came, with the number of theaters increasing to 1,500, the weekend box office got 17 million, and the total box office of the entire North America exceeded 33 million.

Although the cost has not yet been recouped, no one is absolutely saying that this movie will be a failure. The "Pretty Woman" that made Julia popular all over the world in the first place earned so much at the box office in two weeks—— Of course, "Pretty Woman" could have cost a lot less than "Four Weddings and a Funeral."

Most movie fans still like Julia playing this kind of role very much.

"She is particularly charming in such a romantic comedy movie, and you will feel a kind of power when you see her." A certain fan said in an interview.

But Dennis has a lot of fans. ()
