"This is Melanie Griffith's movie, just like 'The Graduate' belongs to Dustin Hoffman. She wasn't a traditional choice to play 'Tess,' but she was the right choice. We'd all seen her wild performance in 'Lulu,' but Ronald Lee saw in her the potential to play a character with a rich American spirit..." Several leading actors also appeared on Rona's part. On the private jet that Germany rented, Richard labeled everyone's movie reviews to make everyone feel comfortable during the trip.
Melanie Griffith is smiling from ear to ear. After so many years, film critics have finally confirmed that she is going to be famous!
"Supporting characters are crucial in a movie like this. Sigourney Weaver's role is a thankless one - she plays the villain who is ultimately humiliated. But for an actor with Weaver's imagination, Said, this is an interesting task. From the first second on the screen, she has to say all the villain's lines, but at the same time subtly hints that she may not mean to do those bad things... This gives this film The movie adds more realistic meaning." Sigourney Weaver also grinned. The villain has multiple levels and is sympathetic. This is simply the highest praise for an actress.
Plus there are
The protagonist in "Gorillas in the Mist" has a double insurance this year's Oscar.
"Where's my part?" Harrison Ford eagerly stretched out his hand to signal to Richard. If he could act in this movie, wouldn't he be hoping that the critics would affirm him and expand his acting options?
"If Sigourney's performance is full of subtlety, so is Harrison Ford, who is steady with a thoughtful intensity. When he falls in love with a woman, he doesn't rush to grab her. ; He seems to be mature enough to think about the relationship between men and women. Ford has transcended the previously labeled cowboy image. His acting skills, like Sigourney Weaver, provide an indispensable framework for Griffith's character Tess, making People can see her growth and changes in the movie." Well, now the three leading actors are happy.
Ronald read all the movie reviews and found that in addition to the three of them, Joan Cusack also had many positive reviews.
Janet Maslin of The New York Times, for example, saw Joan Cusack as a stunning performance that transcended the caricature of a supporting role.
"Joan plays the no-nonsense Staten Island girlfriend who lets Tess know how she feels about this Cinderella story. 'Sometimes I sing and dance around the house in my underwear, but that doesn't make me Madonna. , never.' In short, film critics liked the realistic treatment of the story in this movie. The villains are not without a little sympathy, and the decent characters also have their parts that make people uncomfortable. The story feels very real, The big media on both the east and west coasts were full of compliments. Of course, Ronald was happiest when it was said about himself. Roger Ebert believed that what he photographed was of the new era.
"The Graduate" is a legend about a young man who goes from ignorance to reality and works hard in society, but this time the protagonist is a woman - Tess from Staten Island.
And compared his movie to a new version
"Cinderella". Female film critic Rita Kempley, an old acquaintance of the Washington Post, went all out to praise it.
Tess’s fairy is a night school that teaches mergers and acquisitions knowledge...the civilian version of mbA. The evil sister is Catherine, played by Sigourney Weaver.
All in all, this energy makes Ronald feel a bit like what they touted last year
The look of Bertolucci from "The Last Emperor". Some directorial abilities
"Excellent" comments,
The "exquisite" solution was the first time even Ronald thought of it.
"Maybe I have a chance at an Oscar this year?" Ronald thought happily. Along the way, the excited Ronald did not rest and kept discussing with Richard, Michael Gray and others.
Various arrangements for "working girls" to compete for prizes. The public relations for the Oscars this time mainly consisted of CAA's hints to a large number of actor clients, regular publicity from 20th Century Fox film critics, and Ronald's own daydreams and additional public relations actions.
A few hours later, the business jet landed at the New York airport, and Ronald and his party were waiting in the waiting room.
As Christmas approaches, there are a lot of official passengers, and one of their convoys is blocked on the road. The first car picked up Harrison Ford, the biggest name, and Melanie Griffith, who was a little tired of the long flight and started to show withdrawal symptoms.
Ronald and Sigourney Weaver, both of whom had permanent addresses in New York, were left last to wait for the bus.
"I heard that your starring role in 'Gorillas in the Mist' also received a lot of praise?" Ronald liked Sigourney Weaver's acting skills very much.
Her performance is restrained and layered. Whether it's a villain in a romantic comedy or an eccentric professor in a biopic of a character like Gorilla, she plays it convincingly.
in particular
"Gorillas in the Mist" tells the story of Dian Fossey who studies gorillas in the primeval forests of Africa. This kind of movie, with basically no dramatic conflict, actually grossed nearly 25 million US dollars at the local box office, all thanks to Weaver's touching performance.
"A lot of critics were dissatisfied with me playing Dian Fossey because I softened her weirdness. Well, they don't know anything about movies. Critics love nothing more than finding fault with something."
"I have to say you're right, but they still liked our movie."
"Of course, women's rights, career women, Cinderella's counterattack, whether it's career or love, they can't say anything bad." Sigourney Weaver winked at Ronald, this movie takes up a lot of It has the moral high ground and is a commercial film with outstanding performances. It is just within the scope of what film critics can understand, and they have to praise it desperately.
Ronald laughed. In any case, Sigourney Weaver has a wide range of acting skills. Whether it is science fiction movies, action movies, screwball comedies, dramas, or even romantic comedies, she can do it all with ease.
He is such a versatile actor, but he didn't leave a deep impression on the audience. Their faces often look familiar, but unlike stars who specialize in one thing, they can go to the cinema and buy tickets to support them.
There are gains and losses. It is very difficult to have both careers as a star and an actor.
"Hi, are you Sigourney Weaver?" The two were chatting when two or three female elites who looked like senior executives came over to say hello.
"Yes, I am..." Sigourney Weaver greeted them. Passengers at the business jet airport, unlike ordinary movie fans, communicated with the actors more on an equal footing. After all, they themselves They are also the elites of Wall Street.
"You know what? We all watched the movie in Los Angeles yesterday, and we all support your performance as Catherine. We cheer for you..." Unexpectedly, several female executives said words that even Ronald had not expected. Come.
"Tess is a secretary. She stole your career, your man, and the most unbearable thing, she also stole your clothes!"
"And your shoes!"
"Um...women's perspectives are really different?" Ronald didn't know what to say. He swore that neither he nor screenwriter Kevin Wade thought that way.
...The premiere in New York is not much worse than the starlight in Los Angeles. Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal, previously done
During the reshoots of the two snowy Christmas scenes in "When Harry Met Sally", Ronald also happened to come over to support him.
"Oh, there are so many reporters here today..." Meg Ryan also appeared dressed as a professional woman with a red scarf.
"Of course, the three female characters in this movie all played very well...Many people have discussed who is more suitable to be nominated..." Billy Crystal also looked at Harrison enviously. ·Ford.
When it comes to character types being limited by movie types, he and Ford are pretty much the same. Billy Crystal has always played screwball comedies, and he really wants to broaden his acting options.
Harrison Ford's successful transformation this time gave him great expectations.
"I wish I could be like Melanie Griffith..." Meg Ryan was actually more envious.
Competition among actresses has always been much fiercer than among male actors. All actresses who are able to reach the top of their paychecks and awards rely on their extraordinary performance in one movie to reach the leading platform.
The two leading actors in the new film are full of hope and looking forward to next year
When Harry Met Sally is released, it will be paired with this
"Working Girl" also received favorable reviews, giving her career a boost.
"Hi, Ronald..." Over there, Ronald was greeting two female celebrities who had come to the premiere together.
Dressed in a very elite style, yes
The heroine of "Top Gun" Kelly McGillis, next to her is Jodie Foster.
Starring them
"Pear Blossom" has just been released for a month and has received mixed reviews. Especially at the beginning of the film, the scene where the protagonist Sara, played by Jodie Foster, is being taken around in a bar... made many well-informed film critics feel uncomfortable.
The two became so close in life because of their roles in the film that Jodie Foster even moved into McGillis' house.
jodie foster passed
"The Robbery of Pear Blossoms" has basically disappointed Hollywood. She thought about giving up her acting career. She had high hopes for this movie, playing a particularly controversial role.
The character of Sara is actually adapted from a real incident victim. Unlike other film and television adaptations of similar incidents, it does not portray the female victim as a completely violated object.
Sara actually has her own problems. Jodie Foster, in fact, plays a slut to a certain extent.
She actively flirted with the suspect in the bar. Later, the criminal suspect became violent and wanted to kill her in public, but he refused.
In fact, this kind of character is not very sympathetic to the audience in many conservative areas in the central and southern regions.
Judy gave a breakthrough performance, but she was still attacked to a certain extent. She saw
Tess in "Working Girl" is also a controversial heroine, but she is unanimously praised by film critics, and she is actually jealous inside.
It happened that McGillis heard rumors that Ronald was suspected of suffering from some kind of disease and called to inquire about the situation.
Jodie Foster learned that her girlfriend McGillis had a history with Ronald before. Therefore, Jodie Foster kept encouraging McGillis to attend the New York premiere.
It happened that McGillis also wanted to mend his relationship with Ronald, so the two took the initiative to support the premiere.
"I'm very happy that you're recovering well now." McGillis gently touched Ronald's arm with his hand.
"Yeah, this flu is really bad." Ronald felt a little jealous of McGillis' suspicion.
But facing the cameras of photographers, he still smiled. The more celebrities come, the more help they will get.
"Where is your after-screening party?" Jodie Foster saw the opportunity and immediately asked about the key arrangements.
"I don't know, my PR consultant arranged it, Michael Ronald called Michael Grey,
"Make sure both ladies go to the after-show party, okay? They're both good friends..."
"Of course, this is our VIP ticket, the hottest Ritz in Manhattan..." Michael Gray was very familiar with this kind of occasion and took it naturally.
Ronald watched half of the movie, and the reaction from the audience was even more enthusiastic than in Los Angeles.
The overall atmosphere in Los Angeles is relaxed, even laid-back. The workplace atmosphere in New York is very similar to what is depicted in the movie.
Especially in the financial industry, the fierce competition is not fully reflected in the movie. If it were really shot according to the real situation, it would be much uglier.
The east and west coasts are important ticket warehouses, and both have received word-of-mouth love from the audience. This is what Ronald is happiest about.
"Ronald, the emaScore score is out." Richard came over and said in Ronald's ear.
"We went out and said Ronald got up and walked quietly down the aisle with Richard.
"What's the score? Is there an A?" Ronald actually doesn't worry much about the audience's evaluation. His movies have always pleased the audience.
"A-" Richard handed Ronald the score details he had just received.
"Oh, A- is also very rare... After all, it is romantic love..." Ronald was a little disappointed when he didn't get an A, and he had to pretend that I was satisfied.
Otherwise, you are not a qualified Hollywood person - only if you are full of lies can you be like a duck in water in Hollywood.
"Well..." Ronald frowned, and the audience's evaluation was not very high. Many people thought that Tess's role was not good enough. She also did some things that were not in line with professional ethics, but she was not as good as those senior officials at the airport. The idea of tubes is similar.
"Where is this audience?", Ronald asked Richard.
"Here..." Richard turned to the appendix at the back and pointed it out to Ronald.
"Well...that's it." Ronald saw several small and medium-sized cities randomly sampled by emaScore. The three sampling points were all in the central and deep south. The audience evaluations of two small cities near Chicago and Dallas occupied the main part. negative opinions.
This is another sampling point in New Jersey, where the positives far outweigh the negatives.
"It seems that the reputation of this movie is not good enough outside the big cities on the coast." Fortunately, the major media that have influence on Hollywood audiences are in New York and Los Angeles, so Ronald is not very worried.
"Wow, wow..." The movie screening was completed, and the audience applauded for a long time. The New York audience went crazy, they loved this movie that was like filming the story around them.
Many people felt that the applause was not enthusiastic enough and started to stamp their feet.
"It's rare to see a New York audience go crazy for a movie," Jodie Foster whispered to McGillis.
"Yes, Ronald...he is always able to make such magical movies." McGillis is also convinced. New York has the most picky movie audiences in the world. If they can be so satisfied, you can imagine that the movie will definitely Another box office hit.
"Where's Ronald?" Jodie Foster and McGillis were about to go to the party when they suddenly discovered that Ronald was gone.
"He's also going to Staten Island for the premiere there," explained publicist Michael Gray.
"Staten Island?" The two women looked at each other. A premiere in such a rural place?
"Yes, this story is the story of Tess of Staten Island, so we also did one there..." Gray has explained to many people,
"Ronald will come over later..."
