Chapter 781 The most ambitious work
When we entered the screening room, we knew each other for many years and had a good relationship. In addition, we haven't seen each other for a long time, Rachel Weisz specially changed seats with someone and sat next to Matthew, talking about many things after "The Return of the Mummy".
"Universal Pictures later planned to film "Mummy 3". " Rachel Weizi whispered to Matthew, "I refused when I saw the script, but fortunately I didn't participate in the filming. That movie was so miserable."
Matthew nodded, "Universal Pictures has contacted me, but I refused."
While chatting with Rachel Weizi, he was thinking, and some things gradually became vaguely remembered, especially the "Black Swan" mentioned by Rachel Weizi and Natalie Portman before.
Once, he was also poisoned by Matilda and knew something about Natalie Portman.
From hearing "Black Swan" to now, he roughly remembered something, as if Natalie Portman won the Oscar for Best Actress, he played a black swan, right?
That black swan is not the "Black Swan" mentioned by Rachel Weizi, right?
But Rachel Weizi said this was the script and character written by Darren Aronovsky to her. If so, how could it end up falling into Natalie Portman's hands?
Then, Matthew thought of a key, and Natalie Portman and Rachel Weisz made an offer to meet Darren Aronovsky for advice!
This is said openly and no normal person will think there is any problem.
The problem is that Matthew is not a normal person, he has a special and unique experience.
Hollywood is never new to stealing friends' roles.
For example, Little Pepper Gwyneth Paltrow won the Best Actress "Shapes Love History" which was the script I saw from my friend Winona Ryder. The first heroine I wanted to invite was Winona Ryder. Later, Gwyneth Paltrow stole this role and made a "good story" that Hollywood will always remember.
Will Natalie Portman have such thoughts? No one knows.
Matthew didn't mind looking at this with a malicious eye, because Natalie Portman had a precedent. Although he had the intention to use "Cloud Map" to cheat people, without Natalie Portman's private help, Brad Pitt's B-plan company did not handle the Wachowski brothers so easily.
Rachel Weisz was good to him on the crew of "The Return of the Mummy", but later when he had a conflict with Brandon Frazer, she was relatively inclined to him.
Since Rachel Vizi and Natalie Portman talked about this, he didn't intend to pretend to have nothing to hear.
Of course, Rachel Weizi now regards Natalie Portman as her friend. No one can guarantee whether Natalie Portman has any other thoughts. He must not be foolish and just say things like Natalie Portman.
That's too stupid and too second.
As the two chatted, Matthew's topic gradually turned to Oscars and said, "In the past two years, the Oscar-Best Actress has almost been contracted by Harvey Waynestein."
"Yes." Rachel Weizi nodded, "Harvey Weinstein once looked for Darren, but Darren refused him."
Matthew suddenly said in a gossipy tone, "When it comes to Harvey Weinstein, I suddenly thought of a rumor about the Oscar best actress he gave."
Rachel Weizi thought Matthew had grasped the inside story and asked quickly, "What rumors? Let's hear it."
"Gwyneth Paltrow won the Oscars back then," Matthew said casually, "I heard that Gwyneth Paltrow snatched the script and character from Winona Ryder."
"Why?" Rachel Weizi laughed, "I have heard of this rumor, too..."
Speaking of this, she suddenly stopped talking and thought, how many actresses who can make a name for Hollywood, especially those who have no background, are fools?
Seeing Rachel Weissy being slightly tragic, Matthew didn't say anything more. Just as the lights on the ceiling went out, the picture on the big screen lit up, and his energy was transferred to this new science fiction work by Wachowski brothers.
After watching it for only half an hour, Matthew discovered that this film is worthy of being the work of Wachowski, and is even more mysterious and complicated than the last two films of "The Matrix".
Perhaps it was because of his limited cultural level and artistic cultivation. Matthew was a little confused when he watched it. The biggest impression this video gave him was that his narrative was chaotic, his structure was strange, and his content was obscure.
A movie, six stories, thousands of years of span, more than thirty characters...
This should not be a commercial film, but an experimental film.
When the movie was screened at the end, Matthew looked around. Not only him, but many people were actually confused. Even Rachel Weizi, who had studied in the Department of Literature at the University of Cambridge, was muttering.
"This movie is even more weird than the narrative technique of "The Matrix". "Rachel Weizi seemed to be talking to herself, and seemed to be talking to Matthew, "and the preaching meaning is too strong."
She turned to look at Matthew, "Right?"
Matthew spread his hands open, and did not hide it. To be honest, "I'm already confused."
Until he walked out of the screening hall, Matthew had no clear concept of this movie. When it comes to depth and philosophical thinking, he really couldn't catch up with the Wachowski brothers by plane.
Maybe this movie may become a classic in the future, but it does not prevent people from being confused about this moment.
The premiere ended, Rachel Weisz greeted him and left in a hurry. Matthew didn't stay for too long and quickly walked out of the Hollywood Grand Theater.
As soon as I left the theater gate, before I could get in the car, several reporters emerged and surrounded him to ask questions.
These reporters seem to be not interested in the premiered "Cloud Map", and the questions asked are all related to Matthew's film.
There were not many reporters, so Matthew answered a few questions.
A middle-aged reporter from tmz asked, "Matthew, the big sale of "Fast and Furious 4" has become a foregone conclusion. Are you subconsciously considering "Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra" released next month, and preparing for "Fast and Furious 5"?"
Matthew thought about it and replied seriously, "It may have been a while since the subconscious words were transmitted to the brain, but the subconscious is still far from reaching the brain..."
After the premiere, many people were extremely busy, especially the premiere crew. When Brad Pitt left the Hollywood Grand Theater, it was almost midnight.
Since Angelina Jolie did not attend the premiere, Natalie Portman followed Brad Pitt into the same car.
The black sedan drove towards Beverly Hills, and along the way, Brad Pitt kept looking through the tablet in his hand, as if he was reading the news about "Cloud Map".
"Will the movie be a little hard?" Natalie Portman was a little worried. "I heard some reporters say I didn't understand."
Brad Pitt shook his head, "It's okay, the promotional slogan we have put out is a high IQ movie."
Natalie Portman glanced at the tablet in his hand and asked, "How is the response online?"
"Not bad." Brad Pitt handed the tablet to Natalie Portman and said with a smile, "Many online columns give good reviews."
Natalie Portman took the tablet and looked like Brad Pitt said.
"This is really a good movie. The picture is grand, the rhythm is relaxed and relaxed, the skills are proficient but not exaggerated, and the unmatched stories are well connected. There have been several times when the invisible traces of the actors' lines from the previous story to the next story. It is as smooth as swallowing an egg cucumber pudding. Aside from the strange looks of the actors, basically everyone has contributed very suitable acting skills in the story that looks the most like himself."
This is a column of an online film critic.
After watching it, Natalie Portman found Rotten Tomatoes and took a look. Rotten Tomatoes have been lifted. There are currently 32 reviews of "Cloud Map", which are temporarily marked as fresh, with 86% freshness.
For a summer commercial film, this is definitely a high reputation.
She also looked at the following reviews specifically.
"The end of the film still cannot stop Mo Ming from crying for a long time. In his personal history, he was moved by the pain of being saved and cleaned from the depths of his soul. The flaws and pains of individual life are filled and restored and shocked by rebirth. It is not an ordinary science fiction movie, but an unprecedented science fiction movie. It is a healing philosophical film that integrates the grand view of the universe, and is an orderly symphony melody interspersed with various parts!"
Natalie Portman was a little confused. Is "Cloud Map" really that good?
"Look quickly." Brad Pitt received a text message at this time, reminding him, "Look quickly, Roger Albert has updated the column about "Cloud Map".
Roger Albert's health has been getting worse in recent years and rarely writes film reviews. The crew sent a copy to Roger Albert, and he didn't expect him to see it.
No one expected that the most influential film critic in the United States actually watched this film.
Natalie Portman swiped his finger on the tablet and quickly found the official website of the Chicago Sun, where Roger Albert's column was very eye-catching.
Click on Roger Albert's column, and Natalie Portman immediately saw the reviews that had just been updated for less than ten minutes.
"What did he say?" asked Brad Pitt.
Natalie Portman said while watching, "He said "Cloud Map" is one of the most ambitious works in Hollywood ever! It is an extraordinary adaptation of the original novel recognized as "unable to be brought to the screen" and is almost perfect on all levels! Anyone wants to see such a bold and visionary film!"
