King of Hollywood

Chapter 56 released

When the car stopped, she quickly tidied up her clothes again, and when the door was opened by the waiter, a smile was already on her face. Stepping on the red carpet, the flashing lights clicked, and fans shouted and reporters asked. At this moment, is she the temperamental Natalie who is famous in Hollywood for her intelligence? Portman.

Keeping smiling and walking forward, Natalie soon came to the large poster, which she liked very much. The close-up of her face was covered under the ice blue, with an indescribable determination. In the lower left corner is The backs of the three sitting on the boat with flashlights showed a cruel coldness, which made people recall in every possible way.

"Hi, Natalie." Just standing still in front of the poster, a little girl smiled and waved to her.

"Hi, Hannah." Natalie smiled and responded to Dakota, who played her sister in the movie? Fanning, she is very cute in a little pink dress with a sweet smile.

"Look, our intrepid Rae? Miss Dolly is here and I was talking to them about you." John? Hucks' voice followed, and he stood in front of a large number of reporters, wearing a decent suit, with a mustache and neatly combed hair, just like the unkempt appearance in the movie.

"Hi, John, nice to meet you." Natalie greeted him, and then turned to the eager reporter.

"Miss Natalie, what do you think of the movie "Winter's Bone"? Mr. John said that no girl can act like that except you."

"Thanks, I guess it's the same way I always thought nobody could do 'Teardrop' but John, we worked really well together on filming and in private - that's Hannah Can testify. It’s a really good movie, grim but innocent and hopeful, and I’m delighted to be the lead actress in Winter’s Bone.”

"What do you think of Mr. Adrian, Miss Natalie?"

"He is indeed a very good director. He works meticulously and is good at mobilizing the emotions of the actors. Although he occasionally says some harsh words, it is still a lucky thing to work with him."

"Privately as well?"

"That's something you should ask Mr. Adrian, not me."

While Natalie was answering the reporter's questions seamlessly, she glanced around from the corner of her eye. Adrian was not nearby, and she didn't know whether she had already entered or not yet. There was a trace of gratitude and relaxation in her heart, but at the same time, there was an indescribable anxiety.

After answering a few more questions, she then brought Dakota and Hucks into the theater together, smiling from beginning to end, even when asked maliciously by some reporters about her relationship with Director Miracle, He didn't show displeasure or impatience, and perfectly showed his temperament and conversation.

"This is my movie, why can't we hold the premiere?" Natalie's heart trembled slightly when she heard a familiar voice just after entering the screening hall, she unconsciously slowed down and looked up.

Near the counter not far away, the well-dressed Adrian was talking with someone, and the smiling face seemed to be having a pleasant conversation. Beside him, a petite blonde was holding his arm, looking very affectionate. The black long-sleeved silk top and knee-length skirt had a kind of sexy inside.

Natalie knows that woman, Naomi? Watts, one of the miracle girls, is undoubtedly one of Adrian's many bed partners. Since she became famous in "Mulholland Drive", she has developed rapidly in the past two years and has become a first-line star. No wonder Will be so close to Adrian in public without shy away.

Subconsciously biting her lips, Natalie also knew that she shouldn't have such malicious thoughts, but she couldn't help but think about where to go. The only thing that comforted her was that she could relax a little again, Adri Ann took Naomi to the premiere so blatantly, because he wanted to tell the media that he and Natalie had no close relationship.

Even so, Natalie still didn't want to meet him in the past, but before she took any action, Hux had already said: "Hi, Ed."

"Hey, John, you're finally here, oh, and Natalie and cute little Hannah." Adrian looked up in surprise that wasn't fake.

"Hi, Ed." Dakota waved her little hand, and Natalie could no longer ignore her, so she could only continue to greet Adrian with a smile on her face.

"You are so beautiful tonight, Natalie, even I would be tempted, if it weren't for Nami being by my side." Adrian said in an exaggerated tone as he looked at the girl.

He pretended so successfully that everyone around laughed, and Naomi shook his arm reproachfully, only Natalie caught the meaningful flash in his eyes.

"I heard you talking about the premiere just now, what's wrong?" Hucks asked after Adrian introduced the person he talked to before.

"Sanders thinks I'm too extravagant. The cost of holding the premiere alone is enough to make another quarter of "Winter's Bone." Adrian pointed to Sanders, who is also the producer? Morrie laughed.

"This is absolutely correct, you know, Ed, if there is no premiere, my girlfriend and I will go to watch a very, very interesting movie." Hux shouted immediately.

"Don't tell me, the movie you were talking about..." Adrian pointed at him and raised his eyebrows.

"That's right, it's that movie. It's also very interesting to appreciate director Miracle's work from another angle in such an all-round way." Hacks laughed suddenly, and Morrie next to him also laughed, and returned it to Hanks Thumbs up.

"What are they talking about?" Dakota tugged at the corner of Natalie's clothes in confusion.

"It's nothing, it's just an R-rated spoof comedy." Natalie sighed, the only thing that could make them tease Adrian like that was "Scream".

This is a vulgar comedy that spoofs many well-known movies. It was released at the beginning of November, and the response was actually very good. Many media also gave good comments. a display of . Similar spoof comedies have existed in the United States for a long time. Not to mention the "Flying in the Sky" and "The White-headed Detective" in the 1980s, "Fighting the Condor" in the early 1990s is an excellent example. This movie is a spoof It has won many well-known movies such as "First Blood", "Terminator" and "Star Wars", and has won a lot of box office.

However, "Scream" is quite different. The spoof movies in it are basically related to the miracle director. A series of works directed or written by Adrian, such as "Scent of a Woman", "The Usual Suspects", "The Matrix", "Mulholland Drive", etc., are full of selling points. Zhou even earned 40 million at the box office. You must know that the cost of this movie is only 19 million!

The ad saying "Do you want to know everything about the director of Miracle" is so tempting that Natalie couldn't help but watch one, even though she doesn't like this kind of funny movies for the sake of being funny, even though she has another purpose .

"Robert? Shay is indeed very smart, and actually invested in such a movie." Facing their laughter, Adrian sighed helplessly. Although he didn't mind these things, he changed the subject. anything else.

These topics were basically focused on movies, so Dakota also interjected a few words, and the slightly childish words made them all laugh.

"Speaking of which, I think there is a role that should be very suitable for you, Hannah." Adrian said to the little girl when he thought of something.

"Really?" Dakota opened his eyes wide with curiosity, but he didn't immediately ask.

Smart little guy. Natalie praised in her heart, then sighed again, watching Adrian frowned slightly, still remaining silent.

"The story of a smart girl and her mentally handicapped father. I am worried about these two characters, but I think you can try it with your intelligence." Adrian smiled slightly, "If you want, I will tell you tomorrow." How about handing over the script to your agent?"

"No problem, no one will refuse Director Miracle's invitation." Dakota said with a smile, and then said with emotion: "I can be proud to be invited by Director Miracle himself."

A well-behaved remark immediately attracted a lot of laughter, which made Natalie's hidden sense of annoyance emerge again. Fortunately, Adrian didn't say any more. After checking the time, he immediately called everyone to go to the screening After the hall, she was relieved again. Natalie really didn't want to talk to him too much. Since that day, she has been terrified of him to the extreme. Although she usually looks the same as before, deep down she is very afraid.

What made her miserable was that she still couldn't resist, and her eating habits didn't matter, especially in bed. She had to take the initiative to cater to her, and then she was played wantonly by him, and she would get lost in that twisted pleasure every time.

Be patient, Nada, as long as you are patient, things will turn around. Natalie has been using self-hypnosis to comfort herself, or focusing on the movie to divert her attention like now.

The effect is very good. The scene of the Missouri mountains shown after the film started is very good. The coldness of winter and the small warmth in the family complement each other, giving people a wonderful sense of harmony. But soon this sense of harmony was broken. As the police arrived and announced that Lei's father was missing, if he could not appear in court next time, the house would be confiscated, so the scene in the trailer appeared.

"I will find him, I said I can find him!" Lei said without showing any weakness, without hiding her hostility at all, like an old hen protecting her cubs.

Compared with the flashing shots in the trailer, Lei's expression on the big screen is clearer, with such a hard and tough feeling, even Natalie, who played her, couldn't help taking a deep breath for a while. Especially when the younger brother hoped to ask the neighbor for some meat, the sentence "acceptable but not begging" immediately showed the girl's character.

Next, Lei embarked on a journey to find his father. This should be a simple matter, but it became complicated with the development of the plot. With the arrival of a little girl, Lei's father's younger brother "Teardrop" pulled out a gun Threatening her and not allowing her to trace her father's whereabouts, although Lei was strong, she was still at a loss in the face of this situation, and finally left there in a panic. So far, Lei's family or the family situation in this mountainous area has been slowly revealed.

Despite this, Lei still did not give up, and continued to search for various people that her father might have contact with, hoping to use them to determine her father's whereabouts. It's also interspersed with sending her younger siblings to school and peeking at the training of those reserve soldiers—she's always wanted to join the National Guard, which would help with some of the family's livelihood.

One thing after another, the father's problem has become very clear. Like most poor families in this mountainous area, he makes money by manufacturing and selling drugs. Because of this, when he was arrested by the police, the group of drug dealers began to worry that he would become a tainted witness, so some people thought that he had been killed by the boss of the drug dealer, and some people thought that he left here after he was released on bail for fear of accidents.

At the same time, all eyes are on Lei's family. A distant relative tells Lei in front of a burnt ruin somewhere that this is the last place his father stayed, so he wants to adopt his younger brother.

Lei always protects her younger brother and sister, and takes care of her mentally disturbed mother, but no matter how strong she is, she will inevitably break down, and finally shed tears when she took her mother out for a walk.

"Look at me, Mom! Tell me what to do! Can't you help me!" Lei asked her unresponsive mother loudly. Even so, she didn't cry out, although the stubbornness on her face remained the same. But the tears still kept rolling down from the sockets of her eyes, and the girl's blurred eyes let her fragility be clearly seen at this moment.

Here, the movie uses color to the extreme. Because of the subject matter of the story, the tone of the whole movie is cold from the beginning. Even at home, school, and bars, which should be somewhat warmer, the dim light still It makes people feel no warmth. And when Lei cried in private to her unresponsive mother in the grove, the surrounding tone and the dark sky almost merged into one, giving people a cold feeling without the slightest temperature.

Although the shots are simple, they convey strong emotions under careful construction. Many people in the auditorium couldn't help but take a deep breath. Of course, Natalie's excellent acting skills also played a considerable role, the feeling of powerlessness wrapped in strength from the heart, even if she saw it herself, she couldn't help but clenched her fists.

Maybe I didn't care about it when I was filming, but it seems a bit ironic at the moment. Of course Natalie knows why she looks so real on the big screen. She couldn't help looking at where Adrian was sitting, but he wasn't there, and she didn't notice when he left, but Naomi was also absent, so she used her toes to figure out what he was doing up.

Natalie's fist clenched even tighter.

The plot on the big screen is still going on. Although Lei shed tears under the huge pressure, she became strong again when she returned to her younger siblings. She is now the only pillar of the family and she cannot fall down. For this reason, she even taught her younger brother to hunt with a gun, using animals in the mountains to ease the difficulties at home.

Finally, things began to develop in a good direction. Lei's married friend who was originally unable to help her too much under her husband's orders finally drove over with the child in her arms and lent her the car for use. But the bad thing came again immediately. This is another climax of the movie. In order to find the whereabouts of the father, even if he is dead, he must find the body-this is what the police said. Lei did everything possible to find the boss who sold drugs in this area. Her father had worked for him for a long time. He had been told several times before that he refused to meet her. He was chased by a ranch, but several women from his gang took him to the warehouse and beat him up severely.

"How do we deal with you, a girl who likes to make trouble." The old woman asked, looking at the girl who was left in the corner. She was the one who refused her request to meet the boss.

"Kill me." With difficulty, she spat out a tooth that had been knocked out, and Lei, who was bleeding from her nose, sat against the wall and said to her without avoiding her eyes.

"That's not our choice." The old woman shook her head.

"Then help me find my father." Lei then said again.

Adrian once again showed his control over the picture and color tone here. The dim light made the shadow cover half of the girl's face, making her look a little blurry, but the blood stains were not among them, which is very eye-catching Shocking. Two eyes, one bright and the other dark, are very bright, and they stare at each other without blinking, forming a strong contrast, and the feeling of tenacity, stubbornness and unyielding suddenly hits the face, photographing soul-stirring.

Things finally went in the right direction again, and the old man in charge of selling the stolen goods finally came out. Everyone present knew about Lei's family situation, and then, Lei's father's younger brother "Teardrop" also rushed over. They were all a little afraid of him, so they let him take Lei away. On the way back, Lei also understood for the first time that his uncle was not a ruthless person, he just wanted to protect them in his own way.

Then, prompted by a small plot, Lei went home and found the photos of her father, and rubbed the photo with her mother. The audience in the screening room finally understood that Lei's father loved his family, so he would He has always concealed the drug trafficking, so he will be released on bail after making a deal with the police because he can't bear the long sentence and can't take care of his family after being arrested, so Lei always believes that he can find his father.

However, judging from the reaction of the drug dealer and the fact that "Teardrop" did not know the whereabouts of Lei's father, the most likely thing was that he had already been killed.
