Chapter 177: I know you are the most beautiful
Jack and Rose\'s love.
To expand a little bit, it is Jack, a young painter who won a boat ticket in gambling, and Ruth, a rich girl who is unwilling to accept the arrangement of the family, fell in love at first sight. Through a series of experiences, Ruth, who was in a rebellious period, fell in love with Jack, who fell in love with her at first sight, and then the Titanic crashed into an iceberg.
The whole story is simpler than the Korean dramas built by the framework.
Car accidents, cancer, incurable diseases, none of these things.
Some are young people\'s love at first sight, maverick, rebellious.
Because of this, under Roland\'s sophistry that "praising actresses for their acting skills is the greatest affirmation of their beauty", this girl who is only a little more than three years older than Roland didn\'t notice anything unusual at first.
But when he used three beautiful accents in a row, Kate realized that this guy who just came into contact with her, and the two of them didn\'t even talk three words, had always used the same kind of bewitching when Jack saw Ruth for the first time. The other party\'s overwhelmed state of mind...
"Yeah?"
"Then I\'m so sad..."
"You think I\'m doing business, but I really think you\'re pretty..."
Roland shook his head with a look of disappointment. Although he admitted that it was because he didn\'t know what to say when they met for the first time, so he started with the common topic of movie plots and wanted to increase the distance between the two, but he praised each other for being beautiful. It\'s true.
And after seeing Roland\'s expression of "the baby is suffering but the baby doesn\'t cry", the girl who was only 20 years old even put her hands on the table, put her chin on the back of her hands, and climbed up the pole with a smile. "So it seems that I blamed you wrong?"
"Well, since you have watched "Sense and Sensibility" and said that I did a good job, what do you think I did well?"
Kate raised her slender eyebrows, showing a little naughty, and added, "Or, what do you think I am beautiful?"
"As long as you can say it, I apologize to you."
If it were someone else, Kate would never ask like this.
Because after she confirmed that Roland\'s words just now had elements of acting, she would inevitably give people a stalking and ruthless impression when she got to the bottom of the question just now.
Roland said that she has good acting skills, maybe she is being polite?
After all, she has only made four films since her debut, two of which have not yet been released.
And the "Sense and Sensibility" mentioned by Roland only quietly entered the theaters in December.
It was still the route for the screening of Olympic films.
To put it bluntly, according to normal circumstances, there is a high probability that Roland has never read "Sense and Sensibility".
He is just like Jack in the script, bragging and talking.
If it is punctured, it will inevitably make Roland feel embarrassed.
But Kate is not afraid, because the family has prepared the information for her before boarding the plane. In the words of Anthony Hopkins who plays the Green Goblin, as long as you admit the fact that Roland is handsome, he will not angry.
In this way, Kate dared to ask with a smile.
Or, what she wanted to hear was actually what Roland said about how beautiful she was.
Which girl does not love beauty? How could Si Luolan fail to guess this kind of carelessness?
In the expectant eyes of the other party, Roland, who had watched "Sense and Sensibility" in his previous life, didn\'t mind being a little bit open about this aspect. After coughing, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a kind of Numbly.
"Love is not love which alterers when italteration finds sorbendswiththeremovertoremove."
"Oh, no."
"Itis an ever-fixed mark that look on tempests and is never shaken."
"I think the part where you recite the poem in the rain is very good."
"It\'s also the same paragraph. You look helpless, your hair is messy, and you let the rain wash away your appearance. It\'s very beautiful."
"I don\'t know if this symbol meets your requirements, but I think I know your most beautiful appearance."
When Roland recited Shakespeare\'s sonnet, the 116th sentence in a low tone, Ben was still thinking about how Roland would deal with Kate who raised the question himself, and his smile gradually faded;
When Roland said her most beautiful scene in the movie with the same tone, Kate, whose chin rested on the back of her hand, bit her red lips with her white teeth, and her big watery eyes smiled like crescent moons. Unexpected excitement flooded his face.
"Ohmygosh! Didn\'t expect you to actually watch my movie! I always thought you didn\'t like this kind of drama!"
Although Kate used her exclamation to cover up the Sorry that should have been said, Roland didn\'t care, because he had already received a very important piece of news when he met Kate for the first time.
The guy in front of me is a literary young woman at all.
That\'s right, Kate Winslet, who was born into a family of performers, is not the same as Roland\'s pursuit.
Laymen like Roland just want to take the Disney that impressed him deeply back then. As for creation?
That\'s naturally how cool it is.
But Kate, that\'s a big one in the West End.
The most contacted person every day is Shakespeare, Shakespeare, Shakespeare, Shakespeare...
What\'s more, as a British actor, it is his duty to act in Shakespeare\'s stage plays. In other words, for top British actors, Hollywood is always second-rate. their ultimate goal.
Money is far less important than a noble title.
Kate, who grew up in this environment, was naturally deeply affected.
Winning "Titanic" is just the idea of young people chasing fame and fortune.
What\'s more, in Roland\'s memory, she directly rejected Peter Jackson\'s invitation after filming "Titanic" in her previous life. She didn\'t want to participate in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, thus giving Liv Tyler this The guy who entered the circle to play tickets picked up a bargain;
When faced with "Shakespeare in Love", she felt that the whole plot was not like a Shakespeare movie at all, so she gave up the opportunity and let the unexpected Gwyneth Paltrow become a watery film. back.
Of course, these tools that assist Roland in making guesses are all useless now.
When he opened the topic with "Sense and Sensibility" and used Shakespeare\'s poems to prove that he had indeed seen the movie, Ben kept a distance from Roland, and Kate, who used her brain to guess Roland\'s intentions, was left with only surprises and surprises.
Unexpectedly, it was because an American like Roland actually read Shakespeare\'s poems!
Surprise, it\'s naturally that a guy like Roland, who deals with commercial films all day long, is still interested in feature films!
All right-
Roland admitted that he didn\'t read Shakespeare\'s poems at all. The reason why he remembered this line was purely because Kate, who was in a state of broken love, was too beautiful when he was watching Ang Lee\'s movie. Win over literary and artistic youths, trick them into pointing out (recommendations), vote (monthly) coin (money) votes, transfer (books) issue (bills), charge (make) electricity (rewards), he pretends to beep in English It\'s just the opening title dozens of times.
As for feature films?
He invests, but he prefers popcorn commercials.
However, these are not important.
When Roland proved that what he said was true, the estrangement from the first meeting disappeared.
"Of course I\'m interested in feature films. Wasn\'t I the one who invested in "The Seven Deadly Sins"? Your family should have mentioned this, right? And there is also "The Shawshank Redemption". The copyright of this movie is also in my hands. "
"Oh, of course I know, but "The Seven Deadly Sins" is a religious movie, and "The Shawshank Redemption" also has a sub-religious flavor, so I always thought that you were only interested in movies with this specific theme."
"How is it possible? Uh, well, those two films do have a bit of religious meaning, but AngLee\'s "The Wedding Banquet" and "Eating and Drinking Men and Women" must be different, right? I also bought these two films for distribution..."
"Oh my God, I forgot about them... I\'ve seen these two films directed by Ang Lee, they are really good..."
Talk about people when you see people, talk about ghosts when you see ghosts.
Roland couldn\'t be more familiar with this one.
Gaming with Steven Spielberg, diving with James Cameron, cherry Coca-Cola with Warren Buffett, and growing up on Shakespeare with Kate Winslet Girls, of course it\'s about art...
Although, for Roland, the most intuitive manifestation of art is actually the series of numbers on the auction house.
However, it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand!
When I went out to play with the Olsen family in 1994, what I saw and heard along the way was actually a topic of conversation.
For example, St. Paul\'s Cathedral, the first cathedral in Britain, the Elizabeth Tower, a world-famous Gothic building, and Edinburgh Castle, which is impossible to get around.
Of course, Roland just took a brief look at the flowers before, and he really couldn\'t hold back what he said!
But it doesn\'t matter, age, gender and nationality are the best disguises.
When talking about the tap dance in Devonshire, Roland talked about it, and then turned the topic to Agatha, one of the three masters of reasoning literature, who wrote "Murder on the Orient Express" and "Murder on the Nile" - on Christy\'s body.
When talking about the Kelvin Grove Art and Museum in Glasgow, Scotland\'s largest city, Rembrandt\'s "Armor Knight", Renoir\'s "Mrs. ...How could these things be analyzed by Roland, who has never studied art appreciation? But it doesn\'t matter, with a slap on the head, the topic becomes James Watt.
When talking about Yorkshire, the largest county in the UK, known as the County of God, what came to Roland\'s mind—
That is "Wuthering Heights".
"I love the ground beneath his feet, the air above his head, everything he touches, everything he says, every look and every movement he makes, and his whole being, all of him .”
When Roland found the classic sentence in "Wuthering Heights" from his memory, Kate, who was already leaning on the table, only had a smile on her face, "My God, are you really three years younger than me?"
"Many of the books here were read when I was bored while filming. If it wasn\'t for my mother and the others to explain the meaning of the books to me, I might not be able to read them because of depression. I didn\'t expect you..."
"Whoa, what a surprise!"
"I now regret that I didn\'t call you immediately after receiving James\' reply!"
Looking at the smile full of surprise, Roland also responded with a smile.
Although he is calm and composed now, only he himself understands that the so-called reading of world masterpieces is just the result of the acting teacher forcing them to read and write their reflections when they were in school.
Of course, the so-called coercion is not as exaggerated as the text bombardment of "I recommend you read "One Hundred Years of Solitude", "A History of Urban Development", "The Death and Life of Great American Cities"...
To put it bluntly, after knowing that she and Roland are going to play lovers, Kate is actually ready to get to know each other, but it\'s the first time for everyone to meet, and there is no opportunity to break the tulle.
The topic of similar interests is the best weight to enhance the relationship. When Roland occasionally throws out the reading materials recommended by the teacher who hated him in his previous life and loves him so much in this life, Kate’s eyes on his partner have disappeared.
Instead, poetry is often recited when you meet a handsome man, and you always open an altar when you meet a bosom friend.
To be honest, sitting there and chatting about British culture for two hours, Roland felt that it was more tiring than dealing with the people of Zaun.
However, because the other party\'s smile didn\'t stop, Roland stopped worrying about this issue.
And just when Roland saw that the time was almost up, and when he was about to end the aimless topic with the other party, the sound of knocking on the door entered their ears. The news from Kate\'s assistant made the chat very happy. The two of them were a little surprised.
"Ang Lee looking for me?" Roland frowned blankly.
"You still called me?" Kate took the mobile phone from the assistant.
Although I didn\'t understand what was going on, the matter became clear after Roland called back.
Uncle Long wants to sell "Red Fan District"?
No problem!
5 million to buy copyrights in North America and Europe, this is simply giving away money for nothing!
Roland is not the kind of hypocritical person. He just asked AngLee to go to David to sign the contract, and then go to Sony\'s Evelyn to arrange the release. If there is any problem, just call Kate and come to him.
It wasn\'t a big deal, and Roland didn\'t hide it. After hearing the first half of the sentence, Kate didn\'t think there was any problem, but when she found out that Roland asked Ang Lee to call him to find him, she felt weird, flooded my mind.
"Don\'t you have a mobile phone? Do you usually communicate by letter?" Kate spread her left palm, and her right index finger kept sliding on the palm.
"Ah, no." Seeing that Kate had misunderstood, Roland shook his head quickly, and instinctively blamed James, "That guy James is a tyrant on the set, he doesn\'t allow any other accidents to interrupt the filming progress, plus Didn’t I start a company recently? He felt that things like business management would take up a lot of shooting time, so…”
"I have to borrow your mobile phone to use it."
"Please help me."
"Oh, I can understand." Kate nodded, saying that she didn\'t mind, "But I don\'t usually carry a mobile phone with me, it\'s always held by my assistant, and I also feel that too much involvement of external things will affect the creation itself ..."
Hearing what Kate said, Roland just expressed his gratitude and did not refute the other party\'s point of view.
In his opinion, this kind of girl who wants to act and act well is really cute.
After experiencing so much, Roland has long understood that the so-called social mouthpiece, the cutting-edge film and television that leads the direction of culture, are nothing but vanity, and the so-called spiritual food is nothing more than eating too much.
Many pretentious directors said, what kind of spirit is reflected in my film, and they regard themselves as the savior in an impetuous society-isn’t this special shit?
You must know that the foundation of singing and dancing is the prosperity of the country.
It has never been what we shoot and what the society sees, but what the society sees and what we shoot.
When Simpson\'s murder of his wife broke out, "Forrest Gump" brought the American spirit; when millions of black men marched, "The Shawshank Redemption" entered thousands of households to comfort people\'s hearts.
Film and TV has never been an art behind closed doors. Turn off your phone and focus on the script?
If this can make a good show, then it is not pragmatism that saves people, but hedonism.
Of course, Roland would not say these complaints in front of Kate.
After the group immunity is released, they will understand that survival is the most important thing compared with the cultural trend that is praised to the sky.
"Then, thank you in advance..."
Roland thanked him with a smile, glanced down at the time on his watch, and said, "It\'s six o\'clock, shall we go to dinner together? James seems to have been here for a long time? Call him and see if there is anything in Mexico." What\'s delicious?"
"Oh, can\'t we find it ourselves?" Kate asked with a frown as she handed the phone back to the assistant.
"Sure, but..."
"There\'s nothing But..." Before Roland could finish speaking, this bold girl who showed herself to Xiao Li for the first time after she knew she needed to face Xiao Li nakedly interrupted Roland\'s speech Discourse, "Neither of us carry a cell phone anyway, he can\'t find ours..."
Note: ① Regardless of how Hollywood makes troubles, British actors still mainly act in stage plays. When Dou Sen became popular, they returned to the theater to play "Hamlet". They really love Shakespeare deeply. ② Shakespeare’s sonnets will not be translated. Kate’s reciting poem in “Sense and Sensibility” is indeed very beautiful. It is said that the truck driver decided to let her act after seeing this passage. ③I saw a message saying that "Red Fan District" was co-produced by New Line and Golden Harvest, yes, I know this statement. Regarding the issue of "Red Fan District", there have always been two theories. The first is a co-production, and the second is a five million buyout. But these two kinds of statements coexist in American news reports. The point is that the new line itself has not come forward to say which one is right. When analyzing these two pieces of news, I discovered the news from Xinhua Net that there was a new informant when "Red Fan District" was filmed in New York, but when the whole film entered the mainland, it was Xiangjiang. However, counting Xiangjiang’s imported films as news broadcasts, because we did not import ten Hollywood films in 1995, so there is no way to judge whether New Line participated or not based on the share. However, when I was looking for information, I found that Golden Harvest earned more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and if the North American share account is taken out, it is only 5 million buyouts, the Asian box office + copyright is right, so I adopted the first one. There are two kinds of explanations, because if it is the new line investment plus the North American share, Golden Harvest will not be able to earn so much at all.
