Chapter 231 "Titanic" (2)
Is Kate Winslet pretty?
This is actually a false proposition.
As early as 1996, "People", the gossip magazine with the largest circulation in America, known as the toilet bible, had already selected her as the most beautiful person in the world. Just Sense and Sensibility.
Admittedly, that publication was related to the astonishing rate of return of "Sense and Sensibility", the BAFTA Best Supporting Actress award, and hype marketing, but as a focus on mainstream figures and catering to the reading habits of the times, Since "People" magazine, which relies on sales volume, dares to put the title of the world's most beautiful person on Kate's head, it shows one thing:
Her appearance is indeed in line with the public's aesthetics, or in other words, the vast majority of people can feel her beauty.
It sounds like this kind of evaluation is very vulgar, but in fact, for people in the entertainment industry, this is already a typical example of God's reward for eating - can the public remember it with just a face? This means that you will definitely be able to enter the circle and make money!
As for those guys who keep saying, "Looks don't matter, acting skills will last forever"?
And those examples of 'beauty dragging her performance down'?
Isn't this just jealousy?
Jealous of other people's good looks, jealous of others' own popularity with audiences, jealous of others' ability to make money easily, and myself, because I am relatively mediocre, so I can only talk about a lot of acting skills that the public can't tell the difference, and I end up busy , no one earns as much as a fraction...
Isn't Katharine Hepburn beautiful?
Isn't Bette Davis beautiful?
Isn't Audrey Hepburn pretty?
Looking at the list of the greatest actresses in the past century announced by the American Film Institute, which one is not in the circle based on her face? Which one is not famous for his face? Who didn't beat the world with his face?
All guys start out with beauty. The public thinks they are beautiful and is willing to go to the theater to support them. Then the capital takes a fancy to their value, so they can receive more film contracts, thus forming a virtuous circle.
As for those with good acting skills?
Sorry, but as long as you don't look good, you never will.
Beautiful ones can be included in the official history, while those who claim to be the best in skills but mediocre in appearance may become famous now, but after that, only colleagues will study your past.
Who made your face look bad?
Before "Titanic" met with the public, Kate did have a certain amount of exposure... Well, this is simply nonsense. When hyping her relationship with Roland, her face has been discussed countless times by the American public.
Compared with Reese, whom Roland worked with before, the people of America felt that Kate and Roland were more suitable. Next, want them to have the idea that 'Roland and a certain actress are a match made in heaven'?
Then some idiots are dreaming.
No way, who made Roland either break the record or on the way to break the record in the past eight years? In America, where there is also sectarianism, the people don't say it, but they actually have the idea that 'no one is worthy of my Roland'.
Kate is beautiful, but she has never reached the point where beauty alone can bridge the gap between the two.
But now—
In a glimpse, life is like a dream.
When Ruth appeared on the stage as a noble lady, she was secretly dissing Roland's female fan in her heart that she was really an extremely superficial Roland male fan. Her eyes widened, her breathing stopped, and the veins in her neck bulged.
It seems that a pair of big hands of fate grabbed their throats when they wanted to scold their mothers—
Her cheeks are plump, with a girlish green breath, her eyes are bright and pure, as if they have not been polluted by the sins of the world, her skin is delicate and soft, giving people a baby-like immaturity, coupled with the breeze Yun Dan's expression, that sense of alienation from the world, is even more ecstatic, making it impossible to describe her state with adjectives.
Compared with those passionate and **** girls, Kate in Roland's lens is holy. The lady's noble spirit and unearthly eyes have imprinted her beauty with a certain brand. The label of Zhishu Dali is more like a black hole, which attracts the audience's attention and drags them into the abyss, unable to extricate themselves.
"She's so beautiful..."
"Like a painting..."
"Mom, I feel like I'm in love..."
"Her name is Kate Winslet, right? What other movies has she been in? Sense and Sensibility? Angel of Sin? Hamlet? I'll definitely buy her DVD when I go back!"
Mumbling voices came from the mouths of those Roland male fans.
Although their reactions were not intense, and there was no strong contrast between their previous DISS psychology and their current greedy thoughts, their actions still did not escape the "True Fragrance Theorem" discovered by the world-renowned philosopher Wang Jingze.
And when these guys showed the color of Brother Pig and wanted to bow down to Ruth's pomegranate skirt, the Roland female fans on the side pursed their lips—'Men really are creatures that look at faces! Obviously they are all Roland's fans, but after seeing the beauty, they decisively forget their idols to the back of their heads? This is really shameful! '
'What's more, you are not CP fans! '
‘Can’t you learn from us? Even with the CP of Roland and Kate, our family Roland is still taking the initiative, look...he looks so handsome when he smokes! Who can really be worthy of him? '
While Roland’s female fans turned against Roland’s male fans, the scene on the screen has already come to the story of Jack playing cards and winning the boat ticket—in order to reflect the tension of the situation and the alertness of the male protagonist Jack, a lot of close-ups are used here. Regardless of the vulgar appearance with a cigarette in its mouth, the sophisticated and familiar gambling movements, or the vigorous figure running happily, with the blessing of these small details, the street gangster-like persona has already appeared.
But even so, the rascal attribute did not affect everyone's viewing rhythm. Roland's male fans only regretted Ruth's disappearance, while Roland's female fans expressed satisfaction with this handsome appearance.
As for the "Myth" version of "Titanic" that they made up before?
How is it important that Roland is as handsome as that thing?
In the cheerful tune, Jack rushed onto the ship with the wind all the way. The CGI picture when the Titanic set sail made people in the circle deeply moved, and Roland male fans were shocked. For example, standing on the bow of the boat, with the sea breeze blowing away the hair, waving his arms, and cheering farewell to the strange world, he is full of vitality.
But this is also normal, because Fox has repeatedly emphasized in the announcement that James Cameron really built a ship in order to film "Titanic", so... many female fans who follow Roland news are seeing Titanic When I saw the scene of riding the wind and breaking the waves, I really thought it was a real shot, but since it was a real shot, the shock brought by CGI was naturally replaced by the idea of ??the beautiful scenery.
When the movie plays here, the feature film actually starts.
It took about ten minutes to briefly introduce the relationship between Ruth and her fiancé—using a series of behaviors of constantly criticizing Ruth's aesthetics, preventing Ruth from smoking, and wanting to keep Ruth at home as a canary, the two The conflict of the three views of people is presented in front of the public, especially when Ruth responds to the question raised by the other party with a perfunctory fake smile after her fiancé obstructs her freedom, her resolute attitude of resistance made the guests frown Straight up.
As Ruth left the scene, the camera also changed suddenly. Jack at the bow was sketching with a drawing board. His handsome profile was not the point. What really moved the guests was Jack’s view of the observation area of ??the upper class cabin. It was love at first sight.
Next, of course, Ruth wanted to escape the canary-like life and commit suicide by jumping into the sea, but was saved by Jack who had already had thoughts about her! Immediately afterwards, the male second took Ruth back, and as a show of love, he gave away the Ocean Star!
In the face of her fiancé's money offensive, Ruth fell into confusion, but when the camera turned around, she was again in the plywood rest area of ??the upper class, thanking Jack for saving her life. Attracted by street paintings, chatting, the rich girl longing for freedom has feelings for the handsome and charming poor boy.
So, facing Jack's invitation, Ruth, who was already indifferent to the hypocrisy of the upper class, chose to indulge in the lower class.
After learning about this, Ruth's fiancé was furious, and Ruth's mother also told her that our family has no money, and if you still want to live this kind of affluent life, you have to get married step by step.
Ruth, who was kidnapped by her family, looked like a walking dead. When Jack was looking for her, she rejected him in pain...
Seeing this, Roland's fans have completely entered the state.
Regardless of whether it is a male fan or a female fan, they are all attracted by the tortuous love of Jack and Ruth.
but…
The invited guests finally couldn’t bear it any longer. Robert De Niro moved his **** and muttered sideways: “Is James cheating money? Isn’t this the traditional routine of romance movies?”
"Even with CGI and shipbuilding, it won't cost 200 million, right?"
"I also don't think it will take 200 million." Harrison Ford also murmured in agreement, "If it is this kind of routine creation, then let Roland act in any background in a romantic movie, and it will be a big hit. Why make a Is the boat coming out?"
"But after the boat is built, they are already invulnerable..." Jack Nicholson's point of view is different from the two, "Shipbuilding is the details of exaggerating love, because of the core, they have achieved the ultimate."
“From the beginning, they didn’t aim to make money, but to break records, breaking the records of "Spider-Man", breaking the records of "Jurassic Park", breaking all the records that already exist on the market..."
Yes, almost all the guests in the circle understood the routine of "Titanic".
Because this is the most traditional outline of a love story—the rich girl falls in love with the poor boy.
Ruth, played by Kate, is a socialite in a ostentatious society. Due to the decline of the family, her mother chooses to marry her to a steel tycoon in order to maintain her luxurious life, but Ruth doesn't like this. Arranged marriage, she hopes to find freedom like a bird, and find her own love.
Then he fell in love with Jack and had a vigorous love affair with him.
Jack, played by Roland, is a wandering painter with no savings. He has nothing but talent. One day, he wins a ticket to the Titanic, and then meets the love of his life on board.
On the surface, this story is attacking the hypocrisy of the upper class, attacking class rule, attacking the shackles of the world, praising the bravery of finding freedom, praising the courage to pursue dreams, and praising the decision of equal rights between men and women, but in fact—
Is there any difference between this story and the Cowherd and Weaver Girl?
To put it more harshly, isn’t this the love story routine that has been passed down from ancient times to the present?
Being poor and rich in martial arts is a portrayal of real life. There are ancient literati and poets, rich and poor, but only the poor make a living with calligraphy. In this case, in order to make the stories written by themselves sell better, Then they naturally have to make up some stories that the public loves to read! And what is the story that the public loves to read?
Isn’t it that rich girls fall in love with ordinary people?
From then on, the serfs turned over and sang!
To make an inappropriate analogy, this is actually no different from "Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor"...
are all created to satisfy the YY hearts of the bottom-level public.
However, as long as these people are served well, won’t the money come?
To put it bluntly, the whole movie is actually a cover of shipwreck, telling a story that has been repeated by countless people.
As for why Jack died?
Because only if he dies for Ruth, can he prove that his love for Ruth is not the hormonal impulse of adolescence, and it can prove that although his surface is oily and vulgar, he still treats his feelings seriously, and these are what young girls most want to see As long as Jack dies for Ruth, he can not only trick the young men who aspire to marry Bai Fumei and reach the pinnacle of life into the theater, but also let those young women who come here admiringly get the love they want. If so Movies can lose...
Then Cameron can go eat shit.
Whatever words you use to brag about this movie, to elevate the idea of ??this movie, it seems so pale and powerless in the face of the eternal commodity sales model of "following what you like".
But the problem is that after watching for half an hour, even if people in the circle have seen through James Cameron's creative thinking and are speechless about this traditional narrative technique, they also understand that this guy Cameron, Using the best technology in the world, using the most handsome actor in the world, using the most expensive investment in the world, and using outrageous announcements...
Shout out the invincible Stud!
Just when these invited guests were expressing their emotion at James Cameron's crazy move, on the screen, Ruth, who refused Jack's elopement proposal, was drinking afternoon tea and listening to her mother's speech to the other nobles with a blank expression. The woman showed off her wedding arrangements, and in the dining room, a young girl worked hard to learn the elegance of the upper class according to her mother's request, her silly and cute movements made her see her past self, and also A choice was made...
The camera turned, and in the next second, Ruth found Jack who was rejected by her at the bow.
As the melodious music sounded, Jack also invited Ruth to stand on the railing. When Ruth faced the sunset, facing the sea, and opened her arms, the audience who were still discussing silently and devoted themselves to the plot could no longer hold back. , exclaimed in a low voice.
The two people intersected their fingers, and after slowly kissing, the sound of sobbing finally came.
"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"Ruth still chose Jack... oh... the kiss between the two of them... it was so touching..."
"It's so romantic! If I were Ruth, I'd marry Jack too!"
"What is this piece of music? It fits the occasion! The action of Jack holding Ruth! It's so beautiful!"
However, the emotional sobs of the female fans did not last long.
Because a minute later, the camera came to Ruth's guest room.
Ruth opens the safe, pulls out the Ocean Star her fiancé showed her, and…
"Jack, I want you to paint a portrait of me, like a French model."
Ruth looked at Jack and said, "I'm going to wear this."
"Okay." After getting the Ocean Star, Jack, who had been researching it, instinctively replied.
However, after a second, Ruth emphasized again: "Only wear this..."
Jack was dumbfounded.
Remove hair comb, move sofa, remove tools, sharpen pencils...
Next, the audience finally understood how the painting that was salvaged by the expedition team at the beginning of the film came about.
"Oh! Did Jack draw this painting for Ruth?"
"My God! Then this painting is the token of love between Ruth and Jack!"
"Rose decides to give Jack everything she has? Wow! That's pretty cool!"
The female fans who were still sobbing because of Ruth's decision widened their eyes, while the male fans...
After seeing the best in the chubby world, their eyeballs are about to fall out!
And just when they were dizzy from the sudden and exciting plot, a long shot on the screen surprised them even more—the picture on the screen was first facing Jack's cheek, and while showing concentration, The picture is also slowly pulled up, bringing his entire upper body and everything holding the paintbrush into the lens. After that, the direction is also reversed, with Jack's shoulder as the level, the boy who is painting and the girl who is acting as a model are all framed in it …
Following the boy's movements, the girl's figure jumps out on the paper.
After seeing this scene, except for the insiders who knew that Roland could only draw portraits, the audience at the scene were all stunned—"Oh! Mygod! This painting was drawn by Roland to Kate himself? This this…"
"Did Roland and Kate fall in love to make a movie, or did they make a movie after falling in love?"
"This shot is too cool, right? Judging by the expressions of the two of them, it seems that they have already gotten used to all this?"
