"In a recent interview, the miraculous director Adriaan said that 'Winter's Bone' and 'Never Compromise' are two completely different types of movies, and it is meaningless to compare them. The common points of the two movies are realism and inspirational. The difference is that 'Winter's Bone' is closer to the bottom of society, and inspirational is just to show that touch of warmth, while the theme of 'Never Compromise' is inspirational, and it seems like a fairy tale, but it is adapted from a real person. What's more, before the movie is released, it is very unreasonable to judge 'Never Compromise' is not as good as' Winter's Bone 'based on the trailer.
To be frank, I agree with the latter sentence. It is indeed unreasonable to make such a judgment before the movie is released, but what if it is just a guess? I have to say that Adriaan is a bit too sensitive. It is true that some people are judging, but most of them are just guessing, so his expression is a bit suspicious... "The host on the TV was chattering.
Taking advantage of the two premieres of "Sense and Sensibility" and "The Law of the Apple Izakaya", Adriaan rarely talked about his two movies that had been released at the end of this year and were about to be released in front of the reporters, which immediately aroused a warm response from the media. One had to know that he had always been called the most irresponsible director and producer by many people. In recent years, he basically handed over the movie to others after he produced it. Except for attending the premieres, he basically did not participate in the rest of the promotional activities. He had at least appeared on a few programs before. But even so, his works still sold well, disappointing many people who wanted to see him make a fool of himself.
Now that he took the initiative to talk about his movies at the premiere, how could it not be worthy of the reporters' attention? Even if they knew that he was warning some people not to make random comments about the movie and disrupt the promotion, it didn't matter as long as they were careful with their words. Naturally, some people would see what they wanted to see, like the TV host above. Of course, there were also people who couldn't see anything, such as the person sitting in front of the TV.
"What is he talking about? Why can't I understand what he is saying? " Holding the remote control, Lily, who was confused, couldn't help but turn her head to the Asian woman who was cutting the Apple next to her.
"Nothing, he's an idiot, questioning the work of the best director on the planet." Yukie shrugged, then pushed the cut Apple in front of Lily.
"Do I have to finish it?" Lily pouted and showed a reluctant look.
"At least half of it. Your father ordered me to do so." Yuki smiled and rubbed her head twice.
"Alright, alright. I knew it. Auntie Yuji Hui listens to dad." Lily sighed, looked at the host who was still chattering on the screen, and turned off the TV with the remote control. "Since he is an idiot, don't listen to him."
It didn't matter if she closed it, but the people next to her were unhappy.
"I want to watch … television!" Juliet cried out in a childish voice. It wasn't easy to hear her muffled voice clearly, but the dissatisfaction in her tone was obvious.
"You can't watch TV now. Do you understand, Juliet?" Lily turned her head to warn her sister, just in time to see Deva turn over and kick her legs, trying to climb under the sofa.
"Hey, Deva, don't run around!" Lily immediately jumped off the sofa, grabbed the other sister and wanted to send her back, but the little girl struggled a little and kept giggling. She probably thought her sister was playing a game with her, so Lily couldn't push her up.
Fortunately, Yukie came to help after wiping her hands. Otherwise, Lily didn't know how long she would be entangled with Deva.
"Sister! Sister! " The happy little girl sat back in her seat and clapped her hands and shouted at Lily. She also stuck out her tongue and made a face, which made Lily stare at her for a long time, not knowing what to say.
"Auntie Yukie, was I like this when I was your age?" Lily, who couldn't do anything to the little girl, suddenly raised her head and asked, "You should have come to our house at that time, right?"
"Well, although you didn't come here often at that time, I still saw you many times," Yukie said after thinking for a while. "But I can guarantee that you are definitely different from them."
Then, before Lily could be complacent, she continued, "You are much more naughty than them. Juliet and Deva combined can't compare to you."
"Ah?" Lily suddenly puffed up her cheeks, showing a hurt look, "Why did Auntie Yukie learn from Dad?!"
Before Yukie could answer, there was a soft bang, and the two restless little girls on the sofa bumped their heads. Then, Juliet grinned and cried, and Deva, who was unwilling to be outdone, also cried. The room suddenly became noisy. Fortunately, the nanny was nearby. When she heard the little girl crying, she rushed over. Even so, the scene was still a little chaotic. Seeing that she couldn't help, and Auntie Yukie's attention was not on her, Lily quickly tiptoed and sneaked out.
It's great that I don't have to eat Apple. Lily, who was quickly sneaking up the stairs, laughed in her heart. No matter how delicious it was, one would get tired of eating it too much.
When she came to the second floor and looked around, Lily's eyes rolled a few times, then she ran to the left with a smile. When she came to the end and turned a corner, she lightened her footsteps, curled up like a little rabbit facing a great enemy, and slowly moved to the goal. Before she could walk over, a faintly discernible moan reached her ears. The little fellow was stunned at first, and then she frowned. After hesitating for a few seconds, she decided to continue moving forward, but her footsteps were even lighter.
Finally, she came to the door, and the moan became louder and louder. After taking a deep breath, Lily stuck her head into the half-closed door and then opened her mouth. Mom was lying on the bed, her head on the end of the bed, her eyes half closed, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, looking very comfortable. Dad knelt next to her, bent his arm, and pressed his elbow on Mom's waist, grinding hard.
"How is it now, is it here?" Dad asked while grinding. Mom didn't say anything. Although she was frowning, she hummed, as if she was satisfied with his actions.
What are Dad and Mom doing? Lily pouted, becoming more and more curious and confused.
"Although I'm not very professional, I can still grasp these places," Dad said again.
"Got it, you're very professional. Are you okay now?" Mom said angrily, "Even Lily is attracted by you."
Then she turned her head and smiled at her daughter, who was hiding at the door, and said, "Come in, Lily. I've seen you for a long time."
The little girl stuck out her tongue and ran in a little embarrassed. She stood on tiptoe in front of her mother and kissed her smiling face.
"Our lovely daughter forgot to knock again." Dad continued to rub his mother's waist and said jokingly.
Lily's face suddenly turned a little red, and she immediately retorted, "That's because Dad didn't close the door. If you closed the door, I definitely wouldn't come in without knocking!"
Then without waiting for Dad to speak, she immediately changed the topic, "What are you doing, Dad?"
"I'm massaging your mother." Dad didn't care about this. "Your mother has a lot of movements to do when shooting the new movie, so her waist is very tired. I'm massaging her to relieve her fatigue."
"Really?" Lily immediately jumped to Dad's side and looked at his elbow. "It looks so strange."
"Do you want to try it?" Dad suddenly straightened up and said.
"Me?" Lily showed a surprised and excited look. "What can I do?!"
"Come up first." Dad waved his hand. After his daughter took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed, he let her sit on her mother's waist.
"Just like this, shake your butt to produce a vibration. This vibration can relieve your mother's fatigue." Dad said with a laugh, obviously playing a prank. Lily giggled and put her whole body weight on her mother's body.
"Hey, you two!" Her mother was annoyed and amused at the same time. Every time she tried to get up, her daughter would use her own body weight to press her back down. After a few times, her mother seemed to be angry. She turned over and pulled Lily into her arms. Lily screamed and dodged everywhere. She struggled to break free from her mother's clutches and burrowed into the arms of Dad, who was watching the show. Mom didn't care so much and directly dragged Dad into the fight. The family of three tossed and turned on the bed for a long time before they stopped.
"Really, Dad and Mom actually joined forces to bully a child!" Lily, who was tidying up her clothes, complained.
"Since Mom and Daughter can join forces to bully Dad, and Dad and Daughter can join forces to bully Mom, why can't Dad and Mom join forces to bully Daughter?" Adriaan, who was holding Kate in his arms, asked with a smile.
"Because it's not fair!" The little fellow waved her little fist.
"So it's fair to join forces with Dad or Mom to bully Mom or Dad?" Adriaan asked.
"Of course!" Her answer was really self-righteous.
"Oh, dear, it seems that there is something wrong with our education. How could Lily become so unreasonable!" Adriaan lamented to Kate in an exaggerated tone. Kate, who was snuggling in his arms and giggling, then gave him a kiss.
Lily rolled her eyes and jumped out of bed to put on her shoes. After saying "I'm going down", she quickly ran out.
"Let's go down and see the little ones." Adriaan said after kissing Kate again. "Your waist should feel better now, right? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have asked them to use steel wire. "
"It's okay. Since it's an action movie, it's inevitable." Kate shrugged indifferently. Her waist was just a little tired. It wasn't even a strain.
"So, do you think that if I massage you personally, it will make up for the damage caused by not expressing my appreciation for your excellent performance in 'The Rules of the Apple Izakaya'?" Adriaan asked immediately.
"Of course —" Kate dragged her voice, "No!"
"Oh?" Adriaan raised his eyebrows. Suddenly, he turned Kate over and pressed her down. He looked at her fiercely, "Are you sure? My dear Kate Beckinsale?! "
"Of course. And because of your rudeness, I'm even angrier now." Kate snorted coldly and deliberately puffed out her chest. "Also, I want to remind you that the door of the room is open."
After staring at each other for a moment, Adriaan finally sighed and let go of her. "Okay, okay. I knew it. It's impossible to get your forgiveness."
Although he was obviously acting, Kate smiled and shook her head. After sitting up, she gently hugged him. She didn't say anything, but it was all in this hug.
"Let's go down." Adriaan kissed her cheek and repeated his previous words. Then he whispered in her ear, "Your performance was really good. That's the truth."
What he said to the reporters at the premieres of "Sense and Sensibility" and "The Rules of the Apple Izakaya" was not only a warning, but also a diversion. As he said before, even if Lily would be exposed to the public sooner or later, one day later was better than one day earlier.
Therefore, when he paid attention to the media, most of his energy was focused on the reports of "Winter's Bone" and "Never Compromise," and a small part of his energy was focused on the news that might lead to Lily. So when Kate tentatively asked him about the media's comments on her performance in "The Rules of the Apple Izakaya," Adriaan casually said a few perfunctory words, so Kate was a little unhappy.
Although Adriaan reacted quickly, Kate always looked at him indifferently. Women were always very narrow-minded, not to mention that Kate felt that Adriaan was paying too much attention to "Never Compromise" and the heroine of the movie — even if she didn't realize it herself. So Adriaan tried his best to think of a way, and finally, with the help of Lily, he succeeded in dealing with Kate.
My lovely Kate is becoming sensitive again. Adriaan thought so after that. They were already an old couple, and he knew more about Kate's mind in some ways. But this was also good. From time to time, there would be some small conflicts, so that the current relationship could continue.
To be frank, Kate's performance in "The Rules of the Apple Izakaya" was generally half a notch worse than the original — the original was played by Adriaan's former secretary. But she performed her own style and characteristics. Others may not know, but Adriaan could make a comparison in his heart. Perhaps Kate was less calm than Charlize, but the British temperament and the faint smile hanging on the corner of her mouth most of the time in the movie had an indescribable power that could calm people down, so many film critics still gave affirmation to this point.
"Kate Beckinsale gives a different kind of performance. In her own way, she brings Candy's vivacity and innocence to the perfect balance of power," someone wrote.
But most of the praise was still for Michael Caine. As a dark line in the whole story, he completely overlapped with Dr. Razi's image. He was well-educated, kind, and sensitive. The most tragic was Tobey Maguire. Because this movie was released a year later than in Zhang Heng's previous life, and "Spider-Man" was released more than two years earlier, the media did not like him very much, even though his image was very much in line with the description of the hero in the script, and even though he did his best to perform well.
"I've been waiting throughout the movie, waiting to see when Maguire will transform." This was a report in the New York Post. It could almost be called vicious, but surprisingly, it seemed to be approved by most netizens. They were all saying that Maguire looked no different from Peter Parker in "The Rules of the Apple Izakaya".
Was there anything more unlucky than this? Unfortunately, Adriaan did not care. Kate was the one who originally delayed the release of the movie by a year. As for others, they were not in his consideration.
And "Sense and Sensibility", which was released before "The Rules of the Apple Izakaya", also received good reviews. Americans had a long history of British literature. Want to compete for the Oscars? Choosing a classic British literature to adapt into a movie was absolutely no problem. Jane Austen was the favorite of many directors, and several of her novels had been adapted into many versions.
Therefore, even though the movie wasn't directed by Ang Lee, the plot and characters were well-written, so it was expected that it would receive good reviews. Similarly, Blanchett's sister and Gwyneth's sister were also compared by the film critics, especially when they were fiercely competing for the Oscars because of "Shakespeare's Love Story" and "Elizabeth".
Although Blanchett and Gwyneth had worked together in The Talented Ripley, which was directed and produced by Anthony Minghella last year, they had very few scenes together. How could it be as dramatic as this scene where one plays the older sister and the other plays the younger sister?
"I feel more and more like I made the right decision." In the villa where Blanchett and Gwyneth lived together, Adriaan gestured exaggeratedly and said, "Look at how interesting these critics are."
"Do you really think he thinks the critics' comments are interesting, sister?" Gwyneth asked as she peeled an orange for the potbellied Blanchett.
"No doubt, no." Blanchett, who was sitting on the recliner, shrugged.
"Then what is it?" Liv, who was helping by the side, interrupted.
"Do I need to spell it out, Princess Arwen?" Blanchett asked with a smile.
After repeating the words "Princess Arwen" twice, Liv finally reacted. She mouthed an "oh" and looked at Adriaan in disbelief.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem? "Adriaan asked with a puzzled look.
Well, let's not talk about this. Back when they were filming "Sense and Sensibility", Eleanor and Mariana had fallen into the evil American businessman's trap. Their struggles now were all in vain. Of course, Adriaan would not mind giving the sisters another maid.
Then, on the third Monday of December, before the final results of this year's election were announced, "Erin Compromiser", which had received a lot of attention since the release of "Winter's Bone", finally hit the big screen.
