Chapter 136 Entanglement

This is still an old-fashioned story. The heroic and righteous man was captured by the enemy and finally escaped after many years. He met a gangster with a kind heart. After several tests, he handed over his abilities to him and let him inherit his legacy and replace him with his reputation and continue to fight against the bureaucrats for the poor.

Of course, all kinds of stories are inevitable during this period, such as meeting the old enemy who once again put a good man in prison and left his wife and children. The old enemy's daughter was the daughter who had lost to him at the time, so a scene of father and daughter recognizing each other again.

The ending was also a happy ending. The growing gangster finally gave the good man's old rival the punishment he deserved. At the same time, he married the good man's daughter and officially took over the mantle. The winner in life is nothing more than that.

This is a story that can be placed in any era or anywhere, but it would be different if applied to Zorro.

Although Zorro in history is said to be just an ordinary thief and robber, the derived image is popular with many people. There are many novels, animations, movies and TV. People like such a powerful figure who robs the poor and helps the rich very much. It can be seen that some things are consistent all over the world.

Zorro in traditional works is smart and powerful, has a clever swordsmanship and is full of wit, and is elegant and elegant. He is worthy of the title of robber. Even if he is unfortunately designed and falls into danger, he can quickly turn danger into safety.

But the movie "Zorro's Mask" is different. At the beginning, Zorro was caught after an operation and had no chance to turn the tables. Not only was his wife accidentally killed by his opponent, but his daughter was taken away and eventually he was imprisoned.

This is probably the worst of all Zorro. The audience originally thought that he would soon escape from prison and seek justice, but the time passed by several years. After finally escaping, he no longer had the energy he had done. As a last resort, he chose the young man who had helped him and planned to train him into the new Zorro.

This is one of the highlights. Like many anime, Zorro's anime is also a mess in the timeline. Although it is not as exaggerated as Wannian Primary School Student, it is not far from it.

Superheroes can also be explained by various parallel worlds, but Zorro, which had been a prototype in history, is not easy to deal with, sometimes in Spain, sometimes in Mexico, sometimes in Texas and California.

Although this movie cannot explain this issue well, it also points out a direction. The name Zorro is actually not a person but a heritage.

These factors, coupled with the fact that the movie about Zorro has not had a decent work for a long time, so it is expected that "Zorro's Mask" will be popular.

What's more, the three starring actors also have good performances. If Hopkins' elegant gentlemanly appearance is over teens, he may have to replace Bandras as a new Zorro; and Bandras is originally an Espanyol, so it's fine to perform the kind of hippie smiley feeling; as for Zeta Jones, he is indeed very beautiful in the movie, he is in a good year, gorgeous, sexy, classical temperament, and agile, and is particularly tempting when fencing. Even a vase is a top-notch vase.

Have you heard the exclamation?Adrian asked in such a teasing question as he leaned into Zeta Jones's ear.

I think they would be amazed because the new Zorro cut Elena's clothes with his sword.Zeta Jones replied with a chuckle, and despite this, there was a hint of obvious excitement flashing across her face.

Isn’t this also a reflection of your charm?Adrian reached out and walked around the back of the chair and hugged her waist, even though someone else was sitting nearby.

Frankly speaking, I began to feel anxious about gains and losses, Ed.

Zeta Jones sighed, and although he said so, he grabbed the hand that was moving on his waist and pulled it forward, put it on the outside of his thigh wrapped in a tumbler skirt.

Don't worry, since I promised, it will definitely come true. Even if the box office difference of this movie in North America is over 100 million US dollars, it is not considered as the original promise.

Adrian shrugged slightly, then smiled badly when he thought of something.

But if it is done, then... he leaned into Zeta Jones's ear and said a few words in the lowest voice.

You're so naughty, Ed!

Zeta Jones then responded in a low voice in an angry tone, and his bright eyes seemed to shyly in the dark cinema, looking extremely tempting.

I have to say that this woman is really seductive. Even if she knows that she is pretending, she still feels comfortable. Unfortunately, Adrian is in front of her.

He just chuckled, kissed her ear beads again, and then turned his gaze back to the big screen, as if he was watching the movie seriously.

Zeta Jones was a little surprised, but soon he smiled when he thought of something, and then he sat upright and continued to watch.

It is similar to "Mr. Sweetheart". The film critics gave good reviews during the preview, and after the release, the positive reviews naturally accounted for the majority.

But there is a difference between this. Although "Mr. Sweetheart" is somewhat commercial, it is very consistent with the mainstream value of American society, so the evaluation of art has also increased a lot. "Zorro's Mask" is a thorough commercial movie, and there were countless movies about Zorro before, so most of the critics focus on the novel story and the actors' acting skills are pretty good.

But no matter what, Zeta Jones opened up the situation in Hollywood, and many entertainment media gave her a lot of praise, believing that the beauty she showed in the movie was fascinating. This is certainly because Adrian used the resources in his hands to build momentum for Zeta Jones, but many media were also sincerely praising her.

She has an indescribable classical temperament, with a little wildness in the movie, and is also vivid and charming, which is fascinating.A reporter from the Chicago Tribune wrote.

However, the gossip tabloids focus their firepower on one aspect: the sixth Miracle Girl is released!

It wasn't long before Adrian took Blanchett to attend the premiere of "Mr. Sweetheart", and now he held Zeta Jones to attend the premiere of "Zorro's Mask". How could this not allow paparazzi to fully utilize Lenovo?

According to reliable sources, Catherine Zeta Jones was recommended by Adrian himself to play the role. As we all know, Adrian, known as the director of Miracle, has always had outstanding vision and everyone he likes has outstanding talents. This time it seems no exception. At least Catherine is the most beautiful among the six Miracle Girls.

Just a week ago, Adrian walked past the red carpet with Cate Blanchett, and now he walked past the red carpet with Catherine Zeta Jones. It has to be said that the women around him were very busy.

Whether it is with Cate Blanchett or Kate Zeta Jones, Adrian seems extremely ambiguous, which shows that the relationship is different from the ordinary.Obviously, when others are struggling to have a date for girls, Adrian is probably having a headache about whom he has a date. I don’t know what Julia, Monica, or Gwyneth, or Sophie thinks about this.

Various versions of the gossip are flying all over the sky, basically focusing on Adrian’s playboy image and the possibility of stepping on several boats at the same time.

They also tried their best to get close to other miracle girls, hoping to take out something from them. Unfortunately, they were prepared for this, and no matter who they were, they were cold, which made many paparazzi come back in vain.

Even so, people who like gossip still talk about these things. On the one hand, they were excited to guess whether Adrian had sex with a few women, whether he had a one-night stand or a formal date; on the other hand, he was envious and jealous, and he could actually hook up these women with completely different temperaments and styles.

However, Adrian, one of the parties involved, still didn't care about all of them, and the women were not unaware of these things. Since they all chose to default, they would take the initiative to ignore them. All he had to do was just coax it at the right time.

When you get used to something, it will be difficult and hesitant to change. At this time, you will get some care and change things that will be left behind.

Besides, as his status further improves, paparazzi will only become less and less threatening.

Yes, they are indeed very powerful. These shameless and honest guys can use any means to gossip and news. Some people even go through the garbage can of a celebrity's house and search for the condom inside to confirm whether the other party still has sex, but they are also very sensible in the current affairs.

As a simplest example, if Murdoch hadn’t been involved in political events, how many journalists would have followed his private life?

Similarly, Bill Gates is a matchmaker, and Steve Jobs is flirting with the old and old. He will only be written in various reports or books after a few years.

Paparazzi are not fools. They know who can offend who cannot offend even if some paparazzi don’t understand, the editor above understands it.

Of course, celebrities in the entertainment industry are born to be their pursuit, but Adrian is also more cooperative in many aspects and rarely gives them a look. If they are smart people, they will naturally know that they can stop.

In addition, Adrian has always been very cautious, even when dating on the beach, he is always on a private beach, so it is natural that paparazzi finds it difficult to catch his trace, let alone...

Objectively speaking, these gossips still play some publicity role. "Zorro's Mask" won a North American box office of 22 million in the first week. Although it still cannot be compared with those big productions, it is also a good number.

Although in Adrian's memory, the movie is still a little worse than 100 million in North America, he is not worried. The situation is right now, and the publicity efforts have not decreased, so 100 million should not be a problem.

Even if there are still millions in the end, he will pay for it personally. Zeta Jones will have to fulfill her promises obediently.

Then, just before Christmas, "The Patient in the UK", prepared for this year's Oscar, was launched in major theaters.

Because he is taking the literary route, the premiere is smaller than the previous two movies, but there are still many media coming to the scene. They are basically tabloids, and they are basically waiting for this moment. The name of Sophie Marceau on the cast list has been confirmed long ago, and many people are very excited. If Adrian walked on the red carpet with Sophie this time, there will be something that can be found in the capital.

However, to their regret, Sophie did not appear with Adrian. It took a long time after she got out of the car and entered the theater alone, Adrian was late.

Look, they want to see me come in with you, but you let them down, which is a pity.

Adrian, who met Sophie, said teasingly as he walked into the screening room.

Tell me honestly, Adrian, how many women do you have?Sophie suddenly turned her head, looking at him with a little annoyance but more complicated look.

What's wrong?

Adrian asked in confusion, then thought of something and looked in the direction of Sophie, just in time to meet the gaze of Rachel sitting in the seat in front.

The latter was stunned for two or three seconds and turned his head over in a hurry.

Just for this?He laughed, his smile with a playful scent.

Sophie suddenly became a little angry, and hummed heavily before walking forward, with the flying corners of her skirt looking very chic.Adrian shrugged, but walked towards Rachel.

Is there anything wrong?Seeing Adrian sitting next to him, Rachel sighed and asked in a helpless tone.

It's nothing, I just want to talk to you.Adrian smiled slightly.

This is Anthony's location, yours is there.Rachel pointed to a place not far away from Sophie who had just sat down.

It's OK, I don't think Anthony would mind.Adrian said, greeting Anthony Mingla who was talking to her friend, Hey, Anthony, how about I'm changing my position with you.

Anthony, who heard the sound, was stunned and nodded: No problem.

You see, there is no problem now.Adrian laughed and Rachel sighed and stopped talking.

It's so bad that you look a little thin if you haven't seen each other for a few days.

Adrian started to speak on his own, and with a serious look, frowning as if something was a big problem.

Why can't I see it?Rachel couldn't help asking, Besides, isn't it good to lose weight?

This is not like what you said, Rachel, you must know that you have always been proud of not deliberately pursuing weight loss, and I agree that you are more beautiful with a richness.In addition, my observation is very keen. I can observe whether you lose weight at a glance...

The conversation was opened immediately. Adrian had already figured out Rachel's thoughts and wanted her to act on her own baton easily. The two of them just chatted like this until the beginning of the movie.

Sophie looked here more than once in the middle. She thought she was doing something hidden, but she did not escape Adrian's eyes.

Rachel, who focused on Adrian, also noticed some of it. Although there was no reaction on the surface, a smile subconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Well, the topic goes back to the movie. Although "The Patient in the UK" is Anthony Mingla's first directing, his previous production and screenwriter career has accumulated rich experience. He has used almost all his talents to this movie, both in composition, color, storyboard or montage.

Of course, the story itself is also very intriguing. The male protagonist Omasu, played by Ralph Fiennes, fell in love with the wife of the pilot in the expedition team during the adventure, and the wife of the friend played by Rachel Weisz, Kafulian, was also attracted by him. The secular morality made both of them restrain, but the more restrained this kind of thing, the more they could not restrain, so the two finally got together privately.

The pilot Jeff, who noticed, remained absolutely silent, and finally flew the plane to Omashu one day when he could no longer bear it, intending to die with him.

The end result was that Jeffer died, Omashu survived, while Jiafulian, who remained on the plane, was seriously injured.

Omashu, who lacked medicine, could only put Jiafulian in a shaded cave and then walked out of the desert to ask for help.

However, he finally found the Allied Army, because of his name and attitude, suspected of being German, and was arrested and sent to a prisoner of war chariot returning to Europe.

Omashu, who was helpless and almost desperate, finally took the risk of finding the Germans with the detailed map of the expedition team about Africa, in exchange for manpower and medicine.

With the help of the Germans, Omashu finally rushed back, but only Jiafulian's cold body was waiting for him.

When it was put here, a buzzing whisper sounded uncontrollably in the screening hall.

In terms of morality, Jiafulian is a married woman, and the love between the two is very inappropriate. However, when Omashu saw that he was not willing to take on the reputation of being a traitor in order to save Jiafulian, he had to move people.

Especially when Omashu finally picked up Jiafulian's body with long white silk, and walked forward in the desert in a daze, as if he didn't know where to go, as if he just wanted to go like this, the shadowy despair and poignancy displayed in the montage edit made many people sigh.

Women always fantasize that there is a man who will give everything for them, and men sometimes fantasize that there is a woman who can give everything for them.

The original novel "The Patient in the UK" has many other contents besides this love story, such as Sophie's nurse Hannah who takes care of Omasu. The war makes her lose her boyfriend and best friend.

Finally, the Indian bomb disposal soldiers opened their hearts, but they had to choose to break up because the other party was going to the battlefield sooner or later.

In addition, everyone has their own stories, such as the fall of Cairo because Omashu handed over the map to the Germans, and then committed suicide by drinking and bombing.

Or maybe because his finger was cut off, he wanted to find Omashu to take revenge, etc.

However, since it is necessary to adapt it into a movie, there will inevitably be a trade-off. It turns out that Anthony Mingla has done a very good job in this.
