King of Hollywood

Chapter 98: There's Always Something Funnier

On the large screen, the movie has reached the last moment, and it is also the last. Amid the screams, William Wallace was tied to a log and transported out of the city gate. Ordinary people who came to watch the execution threw all kinds of things on him.

Smash it. Then Wallace didn't lose his composure, and kept his mouth tightly shut with a resolute look on his face.

This journey seems extremely long and extremely short. The camera switches from the Scottish lord Bruce, Princess Isabel, Wallace's two partners hiding in the crowd, and the dying king with long legs, and finally freezes again. to go

On the scaffold was William Wallace.

"Aren't you going to say something?" said the executioner in red, and pulled back the cover on the table, revealing all kinds of instruments of torture. "Speak, His Majesty's people beg for your mercy."

However, Wallace didn't say anything, and stood there silently, like a rock, a rock that has been repeatedly beaten by the waves and still maintains its own edges and corners. The executioner was a little disappointed but didn't care. In his opinion, as long as his instruments of torture were used one by one,

Even if the opponent is really a rock, he will eventually have to ask for mercy.

It finally started. They hung Wallace up until he was almost out of breath. Then they tied him to the table and pulled his limbs as if they were going to dismember him. The people below cheered wildly, this is one of the few entertainment activities in their lives. which is

Even so, when the executioner came to the angry Wallace and asked him to ask the king for mercy, he would be happy just by saying this sentence, but Wallace remained silent except for silence.

So the more cruel execution began. The executioner used those torture tools on him one by one. Although these cruel and bloody pictures could not be shown on the screen, just from Wallace's wide eyes, The trembling body can imagine that there is

What a pain, even some women in the auditorium could not bear to exclaim.

However, Wallace remained silent, no matter how terrible the pain was, he didn't even make a cry of pain, from beginning to end. This silent power made the people below gradually calm down. They didn't understand why the person above, that person

Why can a person who is advertised as a robber and a traitor by the king persist to this point.

"Call me, please forgive me" a woman finally yelled out, and soon more people also yelled out, they couldn't bear to watch it any longer, they hoped that this inexplicably shocking man would be happy instead of being tortured like this.

"Call, show mercy." The two friends of Wallace who were hiding in the crowd also murmured, they would not blame him, and they also believed that other people would not blame them after knowing this.

The camera once again flashed across the uncomfortable Bruce, the sad princess chewing on tears, and the long-legged king who seemed to be smiling.

"Stop, the prisoner seems to be about to speak." The executioner stopped his hands and bent down triumphantly. He thought that he had already won, and he had won the victory for His Majesty the King.

Because of this short gap, Wallace, who was almost fainted in great pain, finally came back to his senses. He opened his eyes wide in a daze, and his breathing became more and more rapid, as if something was forming in his body. It's about to burst out. Auditorium

The audience couldn't help raising their hearts. They knew that Wallace would not beg for mercy according to the story, but what would he shout?

The roar of "m" came out of Wallace's mouth, with persistence, desire, unyielding and passion, which shocked everyone present, including all the time, as he mourned, as he rebelled, as he With his betrayal, the campaign has completely

The audience sitting in the auditorium invested in the story.

The shocking cry spread far and wide, to the ears of the dying king, to the heart of the tearful princess, to the highlands of Scotland, to Robert who was standing on the top of the city looking to the south. • Bruce's front.

The smile froze on the face of the long-legged king, while tears ran across Isabel's face silently, and Bruce hung his head sadly. The scene was quiet, people were all staring blankly at the dying man, while his two friends closed their eyes.

Eyes, pray for him in your heart. The executioner straightened up in disappointment, but he failed in the end. The knife and axeman stepped forward and raised the ax in his hand high.

Wallace lay there quietly, his wife appeared in the crowd, and a faint smile spread from the corner of his mouth. With the swing of the axe, his clenched hands finally loosened. The token of love slowly fell.

As Bruce inherited Wallace's behest and attacked the English team, and the friend who had fought side by side with Wallace threw the symbolic sword, the movie came to an end. At the moment when the subtitles appeared , the mournful Scottish bagpipes sounded again

At that time, there was a warm applause in the auditorium.

"Congratulations, Ed, this movie is really good, at least it touched me."

"It's really you, Ed, who can make such drastic changes to historical events and make such shocking shots."

After the screening, familiar and unfamiliar people stepped forward to greet him, and at the same time praised him, both flattering and sincere praise, but everyone admitted that the last part of the torture scene was the most outstanding part. It is of course the fact

In fact, in Adrian's opinion, in the two-hour-plus story of "Braveheart", the previous content is all paving the way for the last scene.

Constantly highlighting Wallace's infatuation, constantly highlighting Wallace's perseverance, constantly highlighting Wallace's bravery, constantly highlighting Wallace's justice, and then there is the shocking "m". It is also true that he abandoned the original version to make Isabelle

The plot of Erle's pregnancy seemed unreasonable and further offended the British, and it also greatly reduced Wallace's infatuated image. It's much better now, at least the critics aren't judging, and fans like Wallace better.

It is undoubtedly a very correct decision to cast Russell Crowe as William Wallace. His wild performance is not much worse than that of Mel Gibson, and his acting skills are better than Gibson. After all, he has been tempered for a long time People, slightly melancholy eyes also

Make his version of Wallace even more attractive.

"You did a great job, Russell, I knew you wouldn't let me down." When I came to the entrance of the theater, I just met Crowe and came out, and Adrian immediately patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Thank you, Ed." Russell Crowe said gratefully, with a very respectful look.

"Don't do this, you deserve it," Adrian didn't mind saying a few more good words at this time, then smiled and pointed to the reporters guarding outside, "Get ready to accept their siege and interception."

Then he thought of something and asked, "Do you have any schedule recently?"

"Do you need anything?" Russell replied immediately, with an appearance of "as long as you need it, I can adjust it at any time". He is a smart man.

"It's nothing, a role that suits you very well, but now that I think about it, the production may not start in the near future. The actors I like have their own things to do." Adrian said with a smile.

"No problem, you just need to call me when the time comes." Crowe said immediately, firmly, without the slightest hesitation.

Patting him on the shoulder again, Adrian walked out of the theater. As I said before, many reporters surrounded Crowe and asked questions about "Braveheart", but more of them surrounded Adrian. After all, the controversy over this movie

The quarrel has been going on for more than a month. Although he has made a statement, but with the official release, there must be another verbal battle. There must be a lot of news about the director of Miracle.

"So far, although some British people think the movie is very good, most still accuse you of tampering with history. What do you think?"

"I said that this is just a movie. It is foolish to treat the story as official history. If you think that the history of Britain is like this because of this movie, then you really should go back to school and learn a lesson."

"But don't you think this description is biased?"

"Any novel or movie that involves real people will inevitably be biased. Roosevelt is great, isn't he? He led the United States to win World War II. But look at him from another angle. Let alone alcoholism when he was young. After becoming president and Madame behaves lovingly but

He broke up with his lover, and allowed the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor and so on. So movies are just movies, and what they show is always only one aspect. If you want to understand specific things, you need to delve into it yourself. "

"Aren't you worried that this film will cause a political storm between England and Scotland?"

"If England and Scotland are falling apart because of this movie, then their politicians must have come out of that joke. What do you say? Oh, MPs have the most expensive heads because they never never used or brand new

new. "

"As your fifth miracle girl, what do you think of Miss Sophie Marceau?"

This question made Adrian stunned for a moment, and then he saw Sophie surrounded by reporters not far away, wearing a light blue high V-neck evening dress and a dark thin coat, smiling and looking good Chi looks very elegant.

"Sophie is a very good actress, and we had a great time working together." Adrian walked over immediately, and Sophie, who was surprised by his arrival, turned her head. Although her face remained unchanged, the brown big There was still an inexplicable gleam in her eyes, and she

I avoided Adrian all night, but I didn't expect to be caught up by him here.

"She has the characteristics that all Chinese actresses have. She is beautiful, elegant, and generous. She also has impressive advantages that they don't have, such as the kind of Melancholy beyond words. That's why I asked her to play the part,

Facts have proved that my choice is correct. Adrian continued with a smile.

"I'm very happy to work with Mr. Adrian, he is an excellent director, and this is also a great movie." Sophie's answer seemed more formulaic.

Such an answer would obviously not satisfy the reporters, and they were about to continue asking questions when Adrian's car had already driven over, and he immediately made a gesture of invitation to Sophie: "I'll take you back, Sophie. "

Without waiting for her to answer, he immediately said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Trust me, this can solve these things at present."

Sophie frowned slightly, but she still sat in the car under his guard. This undoubtedly made the reporters even more excited, and they all got into the car and chased after him. There are even a few completely pure paparazzi riding motorcycles, who are bold enough to meet red in the car

Immediately after the lights stopped, he stepped forward and slapped the car window indiscriminately.

"Okay, guys, these car window papers are specially treated, and the flashlights can't penetrate them. It's better to be careful for your own safety and don't hinder the traffic." Adrian put down the car window and reminded him kindly, but this A couple of guys exchanged a

With a look in his eyes, he immediately blocked the front of the car and continued to press the shutter, until the car was moving, he didn't intend to get out of the way.

"These guys are really annoying." Sophie couldn't help but sullenly said after going on the road again.

"The tabloid reporters often use this tactic, and you should be used to it." Adrian said with relief, shrugging his shoulders.

"Chinese reporters are not so crazy." Sophie still complained in her tone.

"This is already considered good. If it were those British tabloid reporters, even if I stepped on the gas pedal and drove forward, they would not let go. They would do everything to annoy you." Adrian laughed , "Okay, Sophie, don't take it to heart,

After sending you back to the hotel, I will go home alone, and they will definitely choose to continue to follow me. "

"This is your plan." Sophie glanced at him.

"Yes, I know you don't like that title, and... well, let's not talk about it," Adrian sighed, "Anyway, they won't bother you."

Soon the car arrived at the hotel where Sophie was staying. Adrian waved his hand to stop the waiter, opened the car door for Sophie, said good night and left quickly. After entering the hotel and looking at the reporters who followed him through the revolving glass door, Sophie finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned around.

That is, a feeling of loss came to my heart again, and I couldn't get rid of it.

With the official release of "Braveheart", as everyone expected, the entertainment media in the United Kingdom and the United States began to be lively again. Although many tabloids began to hype the scandal between Adrian and Sophie, and talked about the "fifth miracle girl", but

That night, Adrian sent Sophie to the hotel in full view and then drove home alone. His behavior was so decent that no one could catch any mistakes. Some newspapers even described him as very gentlemanly and considerate, so this scandal did not attract much attention. to too many eyeballs, man

What we are most concerned about is the media's war of words.

"Oh, freedom, what a good word, Adrian pieced together history into a story, and then added a lot of sensationalism, so there was this "Braveheart" that came off the Hollywood assembly line. "England's media still insist on

Take a critical attitude.

"Freedom is what everyone yearns for. It is because of this yearning that countless people work hard for it. The William Wallace in the movie has nothing to do with the William Wallace in history. The director of Miracle even It's more about expressing that desire for freedom

, struggle and sacrifice, not just a history of struggle of a nation. The person represented can be William Wallace or Che Wagla, so there is no need for the British at all." The American media also sang praises as always, and the "self-consciousness" in the last scene

"By" really scratched the itch of mainstream society.

"Although it is different from history, it does not hinder the excellence of this film." The Scottish media is also a bystander, and sometimes it is very beneficial to be a bystander.

"Sophie Marceau's performance is amazing. She is as gentle and affectionate as Princess Isabel in history but also has a firm heart. As for history, oh, you have to understand that Hollywood movies need history to cooperate with them rather than them. Even if it is marvel director also

No exception. But then again, perhaps the movie would have been more interesting if, as Mr. Johnny Stanley said, Princess Isabel and Wallace had had each other's children after having had one night*. "The Chinese media also stepped in, just a few lines

Their narcissistic, disdainful Hollywood movies and confused romantic personalities are on display.

However, although the media continued to chat with each other, the box office of "Braveheart" has been rising all the way, both in North America and the United Kingdom. The New Year's Week box office in North America was 10,000 US dollars, easily on the list, while in the UK, not only

The Scots like it, and the English like it too. It is said that many English youths even shouted for freedom with Wallace in the movie at the end.

It's funny right? In fact, it is also normal. For a person with normal three views, they can distinguish between movies and life. They watch movies to read stories. As long as they are moved, happy, and relaxed, they don’t care what the subject matter is, and they won’t Thought electricity

Movies tell the truth.

However, there are always some more ridiculous things in this world. For example, shortly after the movie was released, a member of the Scottish Parliament vowed to submit a motion for independence.

Idiot This is the first thought of all people with some brains. Scotland and England have been united for so long and enjoyed the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets for so long, but now they want to be independent. What kind of fantasy is this? ? Even the Scottish Parliament

This ridiculous bill was really passed, not to mention the United Kingdom, the United States and Europe will not agree.

Although it was because of "Braveheart", the British media completely ignored Adrian and focused their firepower on the congressman. One critic even quoted Adrian's remarks: "Just like a miracle As the director said, these

The senator's head has probably never been used. If there is a brain replacement operation, it will definitely sell for a lot of money-this is the first time I agree with him in this period of time. "
