You Made Me a Superstar

Chapter 526: Brokeback Mountain Premiere (Part 1)

  February 15th.

  Hollywood.

  The sky is clear.

  AMD is an American movie theater chain headquartered in Liwu City near Kansas City, and it is the largest chain theater chain in the world.

Mary Vine has a special liking for the AMD theaters in California. In the 1980s, she sneaked out with her boyfriend to watch some "banned films" that young people could not watch. Kissing in a row and sneaking around doing shy things only grown-ups can do...

Unknowingly, twenty years have passed, and the once-familiar AMD Theater No. He married a black lawyer's wife and lived an ordinary and trivial life in California.

  After revisiting the old place, Marievane would naturally feel a little sentimental, but the sentimentality only lasted for a while, and then returned to normal.

  She has many boyfriends and has many unforgettable love stories. It is normal to be sentimental, but she will not be too nostalgic.

   "Don't be nervous, take your time, don't be afraid when you meet reporters asking questions, be more courageous..."

   Early morning.

  In the premiere hall of "Brokeback Mountain".

  Mariwane looked at Zhao Zhen with a smile.

   Wearing glasses, this oriental man looks extraordinarily gentle, but a little shy and a little afraid of people. She patiently counsels this oriental man.

  Zhao Zhen nodded, but looked away, trying to keep himself normal, and then slowly sat down on the chair.

  From the beginning to the end, I didn't dare to look at another leading actor, Jack Ledger.

   "Brokeback Mountain" was mostly shot on the mountain. In order to shoot this movie, Mary Vannet locked him and Jack Ledger in a tent.

  Outside the tent, the fire was burning, and the cattle and sheep were fleeing in the valley. Looking at the sky through the window of the tent, the sky was full of stars, and the tranquility and unknownness deep in Brokeback Mountain inevitably permeated a sense of loneliness.

  This is completely different from filming "Lighthouse by the Sea".

  When filming "Lighthouse by the Sea", he still kept a certain distance. Although it was very taboo, he always adhered to a normal psychology in his mind.

  But when filming "Brokeback Mountain", Zhao Zhen inevitably began to sink, and gradually entered the drama, unknowingly feeling that the psychological defense line was gradually being loosened.

  For a long time after filming "Brokeback Mountain", Zhao Zhen was doing psychological counseling, trying every means to get everything back to the original point.

   Despite this, Zhao Zhen was still a little scared the moment he saw Jack Ledger.

   But Jack Ledger doesn't care at all...

  He is from North America. He is one of the young actors who have just appeared in Hollywood. He is full of curiosity about everything, and his concept of love itself is very unrestrained.

  Before the shooting of "Brokeback Mountain", I have been sticking to Zhao Zhen. During the filming, Jack Ledger was more involved than ever, and even expressed emotion many times. This is the true beauty of love.

  「This movie is like a beautiful fairy tale. It transcends gender, transcends time, and is breathtakingly beautiful...」

   When the audience was seated, Jack Ledger suddenly subconsciously turned his head, looked at the film critics who had just taken their seats, and excitedly promoted "Brokeback Mountain".

  The film critic was taken aback by Jack Ledger's fiery eyes, and nodded subconsciously, but when Jack Ledger stretched out his hand, he couldn't help but hide for a while.

   Both scared and creepy...

  He understands, this is a G movie!

  If it wasn't for Marivane's kind invitation, he really didn't want to watch this kind of movie.

  There is no other reason, mainly because of some physical discomfort.

  ……………

  [In the bright summer of 1963, in western Wyoming, young cowboys Jack Twist (played by Jack Ledger) and Ennis Delmar (played by Zhao Zhen) got married because they both worked for the ranch owner Joe Aguirre.

   Acquaintance. Jack is more talkative and has superb riding skills. Ennis, whose parents died since childhood, is introverted and reticent, and has a unique oriental mysterious temperament...]

  In the screening hall.

  James Bunter watched the introduction of "Brokeback Mountain", and then watched the heads of the seats move.

  He rarely comes to watch this kind of "special" movie.

   But this time he was interested.

   After seeing that the screenwriter of "Brokeback Mountain" was named "J", he had an intriguing smile on his face.

  He looked up at the screen.

  On the one hand, I want to know whether Zhou Yang can handle these niche scripts when Zhou Yang boasted about his dreams in front of him a few days ago. On the other hand, I would like to know how far Zhou Yang can write scripts for niche movies...

   In a sense, the final score of the movie "Brokeback Mountain" determines whether James Bond is worth investing in in the future.

  In the screening hall, there are naturally girls, but there are not many girls, most of them are boys in pairs.

This kind of niche movie has a very fixed audience, and the box office won’t be too bad, but it won’t be a hit either. Mary Varney has been cultivating this kind of theme for these years, and she herself wants to use “Brokeback Mountain” to The movie hit the Oscars.

   Just as James Bond was watching the introduction to "Brokeback Mountain", the lights on the screen flickered, and then a ray of light lit up.

   Immediately afterwards, soft music sounded, and along with the burst of music, sections of eye-catching scenes appeared on the screen.

  The wide and vast grassland is blowing with gusts of wind, and in the distance where the mountains stretch, there are large, dimly colored floating clouds gathering in the sky.

  Accompanied by the saxophone playing "the melody of hometown", the tone is beautiful, but with a burst of depression that cannot be counted...

   After watching the prelude to "Brokeback Mountain" as beautiful as a fairy tale, James Bond couldn't help admiring Mary Varney's amazing artistic skills in stimulating the audience's senses.

  Under the tone of this beautiful scenery...

  The two protagonists gradually appeared in the ranch in an extremely calm manner.

  There is not too much background narrative, nor too much characterization, only busy pedestrians, and the two young people who are in confusion and don't know where they will go in the future.

  In fact…

  Since filming "Lighthouse by the Sea", Zhao Zhen's gentle temperament has become stronger and stronger.

  Obviously she has entered middle age, and her skin is slightly dark, which does not conform to the traditional interpretation of beauty, but when she appears on the screen, she is quite attractive.

He is taciturn and wears a pair of glasses. He looks very gentle, like a traditional oriental intellectual, somewhat refined, and seems to have received a high education, but his jacket and shoes reveal a little embarrassment in life, especially the pair of The hand full of scars seems to reveal that he has suffered all kinds of hardships in this world and lived a very difficult life, but he is doing everything very seriously...

  Sometimes James Bunter is very confused. It seems a bit inappropriate to choose Zhao Zhen as one of the protagonists in this kind of movie.

He is not beautiful or handsome enough, the appearance shown on the screen is too ordinary, like an ordinary passer-by, if the camera did not deliberately illuminate him, you would even find him in a field of applicants on the farm. not to him...

  「I’m cheap and I can do anything!」

"I come!"

  「Well, I can do it!」

  When he was on the farm, Ennis Delmar played by Zhao Zhen looked very humble, saying a few simple lines back and forth, and then the voice was under the camera again and was drowned in the bustling crowd.

  【This role should be played by Zhou Yang!】

   After James Bunter finished reading it, this idea came to his mind instantly, and then he remembered a past event a few years ago.

   I heard that after the Berlin International Film Festival ended that year, "The Bottom of the Mine" came to prominence, and Malivane fell in love with Zhou Yang. She asked someone several times if Zhou Yang would like to participate in her "Lighthouse by the Sea".

  later

  For some reasons, this character became Zhao Zhen, and then, Zhao Zhen became famous...

  In the movie, the plot is still playing.

Another actor, Jack Twist, appeared on the stage. Unlike Zhao Zhen's humbleness, Jack Twist, played by Jack Ledger, is very lively and has a good riding skill. He presents a romantic and youthful feeling on the screen. , no matter where you go, the focus is everywhere, especially the smile, the smile is very contagious, even James Bond feels that his smile is particularly sunny.

  Under the arrangement of fate, the two met for the first time.

Deep in the inaccessible Broken Arm Mountain, the work of herding sheep on the alpine pasture is monotonous and arduous, and there is a possibility of being attacked by wild animals at any time. The tent for Jack and Ennis is so small that only one person can sleep, and the other has to sleep in the open fire. On the other hand, at first the two herded the sheep separately, and there was little communication...

  The days like this lasted for a long time. During this period, Jack was suffocated and yelled in the valley, but in response to him, there were only echoes and indescribable loneliness...

  Qinghuo is burning, but the figure that burns out of Qinghuo is a lonely and desperate figure.

  In the screen...

  James Bunter saw the wind and rain, watched the sunrise and sunset...

"Loneliness is the norm. "Lighthouse by the Sea" just exaggerates a lonely story, and then I didn't expect that the movie "Brokeback Mountain" also applied the old way of "Lighthouse by the Sea", and also described two lonely environments. The forbidden love that blooms..."

  A blonde woman whispered next to her.

  The blonde was whispering to her companion, who looked impatient.

  My partner doesn’t like this kind of movie, and was forced to watch it...

but…

  When the character played by Zhao Zhen appeared on the screen, the companion's originally impatient face gradually became interested.

  Different from Jack, who is impatient and unable to bear the torment of loneliness, the character played by Zhao Zhen is older and more peaceful.

  In the midst of the fire, he guarded the tent while reading a book.

  Because it was written in Chinese, the two of them didn't know the name of the book, but looking at the utensils Zhao Zhen was carrying, they guessed that it should be a book about how to make tea...
