Movie Master

Looking at the orderly crowd at the entrance of the cinema outside the window, the long line has circled the surrounding block twice. More than 80 journalists with cameras on their backs gathered bustlingly at the entrance of the cinema, discussing excitedly, The warm atmosphere amidst the hustle and bustle bloomed with an orange-red halo under the hazy New York sky, which was very yearning.

It's hard to imagine that this is just a screening of a movie.

The scriptwriter of "Good Night, Good Luck" seems to have not yet reached a clear conclusion, and "Hard Candy" has already been screened in New York step by step.

Different from "Good Night, Good Luck" which started in Venice and returned with great reputation, "Hard Candy" has always maintained a low profile and mystery, except for a promotional poster on the official website of Chaos Films, no information has been revealed . The scale of screenings also strictly abides by the method of experimental films, and it is only shown in two art theaters in New York, as if it is low-key and does not want people to discover its existence.

But the truth is quite the opposite, and "Hard Candy" needs no fanfare to make it onto countless lists of must-watch movies for movie lovers this fall.

After "Good Night, Good Luck" was released, many film critics praised the script, but after the plagiarism broke out, people found that it seemed that Lance's credit could not be missed for the excellence of the script, especially when the first handwritten draft was leaked. Si's influence on the script has skyrocketed. Although neither Lance nor George has come forward to make an official statement so far, people can't wait to dig out the truth-for example, maybe "hard fruit" can get a glimpse of part of the truth.

In silence, "Fruit Candy" has already carried countless expectations and attention. How is Lance's script writing talent? What is the position of the director's creative ability? Is "Mad Max 4" a desperate choice after Jiang Lang's talent is exhausted, or a bold choice when inspiration springs up. People look forward to "hard candy" to outline the truth.

Therefore, "Hard Candy" was only released in two landmark theaters in New York, but it still attracted the attention of countless people.

Since this is only a screening, there is no official premiere ceremony, and no one is sure whether Lance will arrive at the scene, let alone which one of the two theaters Lance will arrive at, which also led to two A large number of reporters appeared at the gates of the movie theaters, trying to surround Lance in the first place and conduct interviews—even if they didn’t meet Lance himself, they hoped to get a preliminary understanding of "" Hard Fruit Candy" this work.

What is even more exaggerated is that the audience who came to watch the movie has exceeded 1,500 people. Even so, the long queue has not been shortened. For a work screened in art theaters, this is completely unbelievable. The audience's enthusiasm for watching movies caught these two landmark theaters by surprise. Fortunately, these two theaters are pure art theaters. No other commercial works were screened, so all the auditoriums could be vacated and dedicated to the screening of "Fruit Candy". This is undoubtedly great news for the audience.

George sat quietly on the back seat of the car, watching the turbulent crowd outside the window. In a trance, he had a scene of "Good Night, Good Luck", but in the blink of an eye, he realized that, This is "Fruit Candy," not "Good Night and Good Luck," and if he doesn't act, "Good Night and Good Luck" may disappear from view.

"George, we're here." Matthew's voice came from the side, George didn't turn his head, and then he heard Matthew's hesitant voice, "Are you sure?" It's time to attend the screening ceremony of "Hard Candy". A right decision?

He decided that this was his best option. The direct way to calm down the plagiarism door is to persuade Lance to give up further arguments, let the matter end with his apology, and then he will pay the copyright fees and fines, let the matter gradually calm down, and no one will bring it up again.

To humiliate or even suffer humiliation in front of Lance, to give up one's usual pride and aloofness, to put oneself in an inferior position, to beg Lance... This is really a terrible idea, just thinking about it in my mind Thinking about it, George felt his stomach start to burn, but George also knew that he was running out of choices now.

If you want to continue to survive in Hollywood, learning to bow your head, learn to compromise, and learn to cooperate with the enemy is a crucial part. If he doesn't want the plagiarism door to continue to develop like this, if he still hopes to make a comeback, if he still expects to be able to step on Lance one day... then he must turn to Lance now, and ask Lance to show his noble hand.

George felt that he couldn't answer Matthew's question. Just by opening his mouth, he couldn't control his urge to vomit. So, George took a deep breath, and then took another deep breath, opened the car door and went straight down.

The reporters have been paying close attention to the movement on the street, looking forward to the appearance of Lance, looking forward to the appearance of top film critics, and even looking forward to the appearance of Lance's close friends... So, someone found out immediately Seeing George's figure, the crowd immediately became commotion, as if no one expected George's appearance.

"Liar!" "Plagiarism!" "Betrayer!"... Among the spectators who were queuing up, someone couldn't bear it any longer, and immediately raised his voice and roared, the piercing curse echoed in the night sky, especially obvious.

Since his first appearance on the screen, George has never been afraid of reporters, let alone the audience, even when "Batman and Robin" encountered overwhelming negative reviews, he was not timid. Because George knows that all of this is part of the Hollywood industry, and worse than swearing and bad reviews, nobody cares, so he always knows how to deal with these problems.

But today, under George's calm and elegant appearance, there is a restless soul hidden. He doesn't know how to respond, and he is not sure how to deal with it. Keeping silent and holding his head high is his only way to deal with it. The disdainful gaze poured down like mountains and seas, but it really made him a little overwhelmed.

Just as he walked up the steps of the movie theater, the reporter's flashlight stabbed over unceremoniously, and the camera and recording pen were rudely stabbed towards his cheek like a sword. He dodged hastily, losing his elegance, but still Unable to avoid success, he only felt the burning pain on his cheek, which seemed to be tearing his mask little by little.

"George, why are you here tonight?" "Are you here to make peace with Lance?" "Did Lance know you were there?" "Do you have anything to say about the handwritten first draft of the script? ""The latest news shows that you are a plagiarist and a liar, what do you think about this?"...

One question after another, like a dagger pierced his chest fiercely, leaving him no time to catch his breath.

Subconsciously, George wanted to dodge, but then he realized that he had nowhere to run. Not only did it refer to the encirclement of reporters at the scene, but it also meant that he had to see Lance tonight, he had to perform this play in front of the media, and he had no way out. So, George abruptly stopped his forward steps, stopped at the top of the steps, turned around, and tried to maintain a graceful expression, "As Lance's friend, I came here specially to support 'Hard Candy' of."

In normal times, he would definitely satirize Lance's situation. The doubts caused by "Mad Max 4" are now focused on the work "Hard Candy". The two seemingly unrelated works often affect the whole body in real life.

However, George had to keep his mouth shut. He couldn't show off his wit, nor could he show off his sharpness. Humility, this word almost took away George's spine, his pride, his self-esteem, his elegance, and his calmness, all were wiped out.

"Will Lance be present today?" A reporter asked right away, and George's goal of changing the subject was still achieved. Compared with George appearing alone, the reporters are bound to look forward to the scene of George and Lance "seeing the king".

George smiled and nodded, "I'm looking forward to it as much as everyone else." Having said that, George has inquired about it, and Lance has confirmed that he will attend the screening today. Already ready for battle, otherwise he wouldn't have come here on a special trip and bumped into the muzzle of the gun.

Sure enough, in only fifteen minutes, another black four-door sedan stopped at the entrance of the cinema, and then Lance in a smoky gray suit appeared in sight.

In an instant, all eyes were flocking towards Lance. As the hottest person in the recent period, it is not an easy task to interview Lance, which made everyone at the scene excited; At this time, another figure came down from the car, his eyes paused for a moment, and then the reporters went crazy, rushing towards Lance like a tide, and the flashing lights were like rolling waves. The river generally showed the momentum of galloping horses, and the entire entrance of the movie theater turned from night to day. The dazzling light made people unable to open their eyes, and could only see a blurred image.

In that image, a petite but exquisite curve was outlined, and a black evening dress looked elegant and delicate. Even standing beside Lance, the powerful aura made people couldn't help but take a second look. That cute smiling face bloomed proudly under the flashing light.

It's Scarlett Johansson!
