about a woman in her thirties, her long black hair makes her have a mysterious temperament, but some of her strong facial features are sharp, especially the eyebrows, which are thin and straight, as if to tell everyone that she will never admit defeat. Instead of wearing a skirt like other women, she was dressed in a black suit and trousers, which immediately made her stand out and look great.
"Hi, Sophie," Adrian responded with a smile. How could he not know the woman in front of him. "It's great to see you here."
Then he began to introduce: "Scarlett, this is Sophie, Sophia Coppola, the famous female director; Sophie, this is Scarlett, Scarlett Johnson, the star of the future."
"Hello, Scarlett. Nice to meet you. Oh, I remember you played in the Horse Whisperer, right? It's a pretty good actor
"Thank you, Sophia. I'm glad to meet you, too. I've seen the girl suicide directed by you. It's really easy to touch the weakness in my heart."
So they exchanged greetings, but Sophia's eyes wandered from time to time between Scarlett and Adrian, and their eyes were meaningful. But she soon felt a little uneasy, for Scarlett looked back and forth between her and Adrian, and it was just as meaningful. Then, Scarlett also found Sophia's eyes, both of them suddenly became embarrassed.
"Speaking of it, Sophie, do you have any suggestions for your presence at today's premiere?" Adrian, laughing in his stomach, made a voice to ease the atmosphere.
"Nothing. I just came with dad." Sophia Coppola scowled and made a nonchalant nirvana, but it only made Adrian laugh even more.
"Well, what's the advice of the respected director Coppola?" Adrian asked seriously, "I just said hello to him before."
"Nothing, he just told me. Let me stay away from you. " Sophia said without expression. It's a pity that Scarlett couldn't help speaking after listening to this sentence.
Of course. She also noticed that she was a little too pretentious, so she coughed and said, "but I have something to look for you, so I have to put this sentence behind my head."
"Oh, what's up?" Adrian picked his eyebrows. Gave up grasping "I just accompany dad to come over" this sentence to chase the idea of beating.
"You Have you seen my script? " After hesitating for two seconds, Sophia still asked. The color also changed, as if he wanted to be recognized but didn't want to be recognized by him.
"Of course," Adrian's eyes lit up. That's what he's waiting for. "It's a good script. It's very good. It fully shows the delicate mind of women. Except for a few details, there is basically no need to modify."
"Is it?" Sophia's face was soft and hard.
"I believe that even Mr. Coppola will come to such a conclusion. Tokyo must have impressed you, "Adrian said with admiration. "When are you going to start shooting?"
"Next January, it will be December. Christmas is just around the corner. If I go to Japan, I will be delayed. I don't have so much money to spend like you do." Sophia shrugged.
"If so, it will probably not catch up with next year's Cannes Film Festival." Adrian warned.
"Why do you have to attend the Cannes Film Festival?" Sophia frowned. "Why not attend the Venice Film Festival? I think they're more freehand. "
Adrian laughed, not breaking her mind, but saying, "frankly, Sophie, if you want to compete for the Oscars next year, Cannes Film Festival is the best way."
"There is no best way Wait, you mean the Oscars? " Sophia looked surprised and unbelievable.
"Of course, don't forget what kind of eyes I have," Adrian said ostentatiously. "I read the script carefully, and I believe that as long as you can maintain the consistent level and the excellent performance of the actors, it will be a good story to show people's loneliness in foreign countries, and it will be the top level of female directors. At the same time, the film academy is also trying to seek innovation and change. They certainly don't want to be compared by Cannes, so why not try to fight? You are not without conditions. "
Sophia was in a daze, obviously shocked by his idea, but after careful consideration, it is still possible. As Adrian said, in the first half of the year, the Film Academy announced that it would develop a group of new members, all of whom were younger film practitioners. Although they did not play a decisive role in the selection, at least it was a gesture. In order to make sure it's flattering, the film academy doesn't mind launching the first best female director.
Sophia has the ability. The two films have proved her talent as a director. The media no longer hold on to her rigid stance when she was an actress. The Coppola family has good connections in Hollywood. Since Adrian has said that, she should support her, but"Just..." What else does Sophia want to say.
"Don't just, Sophie. Yes, it needs a little bit of luck. Next year is the best time for you. If you miss it, you'll have to wait for years. Because, in those years, luck will only be on my side. " Adrian raised his hands and said with no politeness.
Very arrogant words, but from him said, no one will feel wrong, Adrian has created too many miracles, it seems that it is not difficult to create a few more. Of course, neither Sophia nor Scarlett understood the real meaning of Adrian's words.
"If it's just a financial problem, I can help solve some problems in my personal capacity. I also have some relations in Japan and can provide some scenarios that I need." Adrian continued.
Sophia made several meaningless gestures, and she could see that for some reason she resisted Adrian's good intentions: "but And actors need to... "
"It's easier," Adrian replied quickly, with a smile on his lips. "Bill Murray is the perfect American actor to play. As for the photographer's young wife, the future star standing in front of you can definitely grasp the character."
"Me?" Scarlett, who had been listening to their conversation, opened her eyes in surprise.
"Yes. It's you, Scarlett Adrian nodded with a smile. "I've been trying to find you a role that can play a role. This is just right. Although you are a little younger, it's absolutely appropriate."
"You are joking. Ed Sophia, who had been open for a long time, finally called out.
"No, no, no, dear Sophie." Adrian raised his finger and shook, "don't say you didn't think about Scarlett, otherwise why didn't you mention the expendables, not the X-Men, but the horse whisperer?"
So much talk. Except for Sophia's competition for best director. This is what he wants to say. As the most well-known and best-known character in Scarlett's girlhood, of course, it should be her.
"Don't worry, Sophie. If you're free, we can make an appointment to talk about it carefully." Then he said with a smile. She didn't care about Sophia's frown, even if she resisted for a moment. But eventually he will be convinced. Scarlett, next to her, looks at Adrian and Sophia with the same frown and puzzled look.
Well, let's play this for a while. As time approaches, the guests attending the premiere have entered the screening hall to enjoy the film from a group of amazing superheroes who have been put on the screen again after blade warrior and spider man.
In terms of the overall plot, there is no big change compared with the original version. The naughty girl played by Scarlett sucks up her boyfriend's vitality because of the variation. Starting from this, Zeta Jones's Phoenix girl makes a speech in the US Congress to fight for the right to speak for the mutants. Then, Professor X, who is in the audience, has a dialogue with magneto king. At the same time, little naughty meets wolverine, and then he is attacked by a saber toothed tiger a surprise attack. It's so easy to come to the mutants college. Professor X misunderstands the goal of magneto because Wolverine and mischievous are together. In the end, magneto catches mischievous and prepares to use her as the energy source to turn everyone into mutants on the statue of liberty. Of course, he is defeated in the end.
However, there are too many differences in details. The simplest one is that some of the bugs caused by makeup in the original version are gone. For example, there is a scar on Wolverine's face in the previous shot, but it's gone in the next shot. Or after the king of magnetism is captured, Professor x meets him in prison with metal buttons, and so on. Adrian, who has a memory of his past life, has repeatedly emphasized this point. In addition, the production cycle of "X-Men" has also been extended a lot with "Spider Man" pearl jade in front. Therefore, the number of bugs in this aspect is greatly reduced, so that the audience can better appreciate the plot.
Further modification and adjustment is the dialogue between the whole series of ambush pens after the world is reset. For example, when Wang and Professor X meet for the first time in the film, Mr. Wan sighs and says: I'm always sorry about your leg. And Professor X said, "I've never thought about it, max. it was just an accident.".
This is the setting in "X-Men: Lesson 1". When the young magneto and the young professor x parted ways, a government agent on Professor X's side fired at magneto angrily because his own people were killed. Of course, this had no effect on magneto. He blocked the bullet with one hand. However, the agent knew that it was useless and kept pouring the bullet. The last bullet hit Professor X's lumbar spine.
Then, when the saber toothed tiger met Wolverine for the first time, his attitude towards him was also intriguing.
"Look, my brother, after so many years, you are still so Cowardly. " After the first appearance and taught Wolverine a lesson, the saber toothed tiger said in a relatively contemptuous tone, looking like he was teasing Wolverine.
There is no doubt that this setting comes from wolverine, where they are brothers. Of course, they will not say it clearly here. Let the audience guess by themselves. However, in contrast, the saber toothed tiger increased a lot. In the final battle, he saved Wolverine once. When Wolverine asked him why he wanted to save himself——"You should understand." The saber toothed tiger replied, "you were not my opponent before, nor are you now, even with Adelman metal."
Then he left the battlefield, and Wolverine chased and cried, "you know how much! About me
"Think of what we said, Logan!" The saber toothed tiger laughs and flies away.
Everything is in preparation for a separate series of characters. So the two behind the saber toothed tiger must also appear, and the makeup is not as hairy as the original. I found a good looking actor. In front of the camera, there is no loss to Jackman's wild flavor.
Relatively speaking, the magic girl has less interaction with Professor X and magneto in details, but Professor X asked before magneto's departure: how is Raven recently? After all this, she asked magneto: you promised. Eric's going to be okay, right?
These places are not very impressive, but after the film is released. Or in the cartoon fans will cause a lot of repercussions.
"Professor X's paralysis is caused by magneto? It's not scientific! "
"Aren't Wolverine and Saber Toothed tigers enemies? How can you look like a pair of brothers
"Professor X has a love triangle with magneto and magic girl? Oh, my God A kind of That's too much fun
Such posts can be seen everywhere on the Internet, and the entertainment media immediately joined in, publishing the settings of several leading characters in Marvel comics, and then counting the corresponding places. But it doesn't make sense, whether it's DC Comics or surprise comics, there's a lot of parallel universes. There are innumerable paradoxes in this universe that are good people. But in another universe, maybe it's a bad guy. In one universe, magneto died because Professor X saved himself, so he inherited his legacy and founded the mutant school. So, it's not a loophole at all.
Sure enough, a quick update on the official website said that the world of X-Men in the movie was a new parallel universe, so it had a new setting. As for what the new setting is, I'm sorry, because it can't be revealed, so we can't give a detailed explanation at the moment. We can only let everyone find out the answer in the movie.
Despite the strong protest from cartoon fans, the speech also attracted a large number of people into the cinema, so it topped the North American box office list with 67 million box office in the first week.
As for film reviews, what else can be demanding of a superhero movie adapted from a cartoon? Although the argument between mutants and non mutants inevitably implies some racism and so on, it is only cartoons and movies after all, so long as there is no obvious tendency, there will be no problem - this is why the film perspective always starts from Professor X and his students, and why Wang Yingming in the caricature is magical, but the film appears to be very idiotic.
So most of them are focused on special effects, plot frames and characterization. Adrian emphasized these many times when shooting, just as he insisted on re setting to fit the real world. In addition, AC media has abundant resources and the global operation is very good, so most people praise them.
As Adrian said at the premiere, the whole world of "X-Men" is too large. In addition, there are so many characters on the stage that we can only intercept a story from it and then transform it. However, the film is only about two hours at most. No matter how it is transformed, all the details can not be reflected. Therefore, there are loopholes in the plot.
Because of this reason, when surprised told him that it was OK to redo the settings, but according to these settings, such as the little ambiguity between magic girl and Professor X, and magneto, for example, Wolverine and saber toothed tiger are brothers, and so on, to write a detailed story suitable for making a movie is a huge work that needs a long time to complete. So Adrian finally gave up the whole world outlook and logic chain of the intention, let them play freely on this basis.
In any case, like spider man, "X-Men" did not achieve the dazzling results of breaking 100 million in the first week, but it also achieved considerable success. The amazing superheroes were further favored, and universal, who was responsible for the production, was extremely happy. But the joy has just begun, and after Thanksgiving, another movie premiered, the first of a series of Marvel director Adrian Cowell's the Lord of the rings trilogy!
The premiere of Lord of the rings was equally grand in the same theater as X-Men, although Blanchett was the only Oscar winning actress among the main actors. In the end, Ian McCullen and Christopher Lee were famous, but after all, they were old. But Tolkien's fans were numerous A kind of Many people may think that the novel is too boring, but in the eyes of more people, it is the ancestor and classic of fantasy literature. So Adrian was officially making the film version of the novel, which caused considerable discussion, and almost as many people supported and opposed it.
After that, with the limited exposure of some stills and gags, these disputes gradually subsided. After all, the film has already started, so we can know how to wait for its release. If it is really bad, it is not too late to criticize or even attack.Who knows that this wait is more than a year. Although we know that it takes time to shoot three films together, it also takes time for the post production stage after shooting, and then we have to arrange the schedule, but it inevitably makes people impatient to wait. Interestingly, few people complain about this on the Internet, because if you wait too long for the Lord of the rings movie version in a popular forum, a large number of matrix fans will come out and say it's nothing at all.
"You've only been waiting for a year, we've been waiting for three years to see the light!" They were angry and resentful.
Now it's finally about to premiere, so fans and fans will naturally go to the red carpet of the premiere to watch, so the scene is as lively as "X-Men", which makes Adrian, one after another, deeply moved.
