Chapter 35 Promotion of the new movie

As the plot continues to develop, the audience finally sees the basic clues and frameworks. The male protagonist Leonard not only lost his wife because of the rapist, but also suffered from brief amnesia. The director here specially used a clip of a barmaid spitting into the wine pot to explain it. It also caused the audience to laugh. The male protagonist, who survived the disaster, used the photos to help his memory and began to tirelessly look for the rapist to avenge his wife.

However, the director used the method of telling the story in a way that followed the story and flashbacks. Although the structure is very novel, it seems a bit difficult. If you don’t pay attention, you may miss some clues.

For example, the protagonist is obviously related to Teddy, who was shot at the beginning, and he is also weird when he explains his symptoms by telling the previous person who also had brief amnesia and killed his wife.

Unfortunately, there are too many clues and entangled, and the plot develops very quickly, making it difficult for people to understand.

But because of this, this movie seems very attractive. If it weren't for the cinema, someone might have jumped up and asked to replay a certain clip.

Finally, the movie ended and everything was revealed. Even if the audience missed a lot of clues, they still understood the ending.

Teddy is a policeman. He had long helped Leonard find the criminal who raped his wife. Leonard had long avenged it, but he forgot.

Then Teddy used him to kill a drug dealer and swallowed $200,000, and Leonard, who knew all this, no longer trusted him and took his photo and indicated not to be fooled again.

In the end, under various factors, Leonard killed Teddy as the murderer of his wife, and the beginning scene came, but it was unknown whether Leonard would forget it.

As the subtitles were played, the lights were on, but there was no applause in the theater, only intermittent discussions.

Although I have roughly understood what this story is, many places cannot be understood by reading them once, such as is the person who had suffered from short-term amnesia in Leonard's mouth true or is it just imagined?

Was his wife killed by a rapist or caused by himself?

The audience exchanged their opinions with each other and completely forgot that the movie was over.

It seems that the movie failed and there was no applause.Adrian, who was sitting in the crew's dedicated seat in the back, sighed, I have to say, Dan, you really disappointed me.

I?Dennis, sitting next to Lavern, looked at Adrian for no reason.

That's right, you are an actor, shouldn't you bear some responsibility?Adrian's face was full of seriousness.

This... Dennis was depressed, looked around, and sighed for a while: Kate and Joe are also actors Ah.

That's different.Adrian waved his hand immediately, you have the most scenes.

Kate, who was sitting next to him, finally couldn't help but laughed: OK, Ed, stop teasing Dan anymore, have you not heard their discussion?Maybe the applause will sound soon.

As soon as the words were finished, the applause started to sound. At first, there was only one person. After a few seconds, most people added in. It was just that because the plot of the movie was discussed, there were many people applauding, but the applause was a little sparse.

How about it?Kate immediately raised his chest with pride.

Very good, very good!Adrian laughed and kissed her pretty face.

Joe Pantoriano, who saw these in his eyes, patted Dennis on the shoulder and said in a serious tone: Let's go, Dan, this place has become a place for them to flirt with.

Several crew members around him chuckled, and Kate felt embarrassed and coughed dryly in his head.

OK, guys, it's almost done, it's time for us to leave.

Seeing that the audience had already started walking out in groups of three or three, Adrian stood up and greeted everyone to go back, but as soon as he reached the aisle, he was stopped by several people.

Hello, Mr. Adrian, I am John Bateson of the Los Angeles Evening News. Can you ask you a few questions?The man with brown hair and fair facial features said this.

Mr. Adrian, I am a reporter from The Eastern Republic. Can you talk about your movie?

The man behind Bateson reached out his hand. He had a very eye-catching and wind-catching ears. He was a French man because he used French.

There were a few people behind, introducing themselves in their own language or English with strange accents. Adrian nodded and glanced at Lavern who was following behind. Lavern shrugged in slightest.

Are they all tabloids?

OK, it doesn't matter.

Adrian smiled and raised his hand: Thank you for your support. If you have any questions, please ask. Of course, please don’t be too tricky. I think you definitely don’t want me to say anything that can’t be told, right?

Although the mainstream of the Berlin Film Festival is a politically oriented film, as one of the most influential film festivals in the world, there are still many outstanding movies coming to participate, such as the "Silence of the Lambs", which won the Best Movie and Best Actor and Actress at the 64th Oscars.

And like Dennis and others, Anthony Hopkins and Judy Foster, as the main actors, also attended the Berlin Film Festival.

Although Adrian, the director and producer of "Two Bowls", has received a lot of attention in the past few months, he is still a new director after all, and in the eyes of reporters, the news value of directors is never as valuable as that of those big stars, so well-known media have gone around those more well-known directors and big stars.

However, it doesn't matter, there is always better than nothing.

A few months ago, when he was in Venice, even after "Two Big Blows" received praise, no reporters came to visit him, although he took Kate around to play.

Adrian's cooperative attitude has gained favor from many people. The first question was the French reporter: I want to know, what purpose is your editing, Mr. Adrian?

Of course, it is about telling stories. Those editing methods that make people unexpected, surprised or confused are actually aimed at telling good stories.

Adrian replied with a smile, but he couldn't help but curse an idiot in his heart. Although it is a good thing to pay attention to, there is nothing he can do if he is stupid. The tabloid is indeed just a tabloid.

This is a surprising movie, can I know who killed Leonard's wife?This time the question was John Bateson from the Los Angeles Evening News.

Another...

Adrian shrugged: Sorry, I can't just say this, I can only say that all the clues are in the movie.If you feel that there are still questions or something is wrong, you might as well watch it again in the theater.

The other tabloid reporters always asked questions about the plot like them, which made Adrian very depressed.

But it's right to think about it. The tabloids are chasing those gossip news that can attract very attention. They will come to visit him. In addition to just happening to meet him, it is probably because the suspense of the movie is too attractive.

From this point of view...

Not bad.

As he was walking out while chatting, the group soon came outside the theater, and Adrian immediately gave Lavern a look.

Lavern nodded understandingly and suddenly said loudly: Everyone, if you are not satisfied, you might as well ask Mr. Dennis Knight, who is the number one protagonist in the whole movie.

The reporters were stunned and then surrounded Dennis. Sure enough, in the eyes of reporters, especially tabloid entertainment reporters, the value of actors is still much greater than that of directors.

Dennis was obviously flattered. Although there were only 7 or 8 reporters around and they were all tabloid reporters, when did he get such treatment?

Even after starring in a movie with good reputation and box office.

But he calmed down and responded with a smile, and could tell that he liked such a scene.

Seeing that the reporters' attention was attracted by Dennis, Adrian pulled Kate and slipped away quietly.

I believe that with Dennis' ability and Lavern and Pantoriano's suggestions, there will be no problem.

Really, I still want to stay there and wait for them to ask me a few questions?

After walking through two streets and seeing that the reporters could not find them, Kate suddenly complained, but looking at the crescent-shaped eyes and laughing expressions, you can tell what she was thinking.

Well, then, big star, Miss Kate Beckinsale, what do you think about the role you play this time?Adrian asked with a smile.

Well... Kate tilted his head and thought for a moment, and his face suddenly collapsed. He felt... not very good.

Why?Adrian was a little surprised.

Think about it, my first character was a guy who smoked marijuana all day long and was unconscious, and I didn’t have a single line; while my second character, full of swear words, and a drug-trafficking boyfriend who was killed... none of them were normal.

Kate sighed, especially the makeup she put on in "Memory Fragments"... It's so ugly that I don't dare to see it on the screen. It's so strange. When I was on the set, I didn't think it was so ugly...

Adrian couldn't help laughing: Well, when you have time, I'll see what love comedy you have suitable for, those characters that are dressed sexy and beautifully, and are fascinated by it at first sight.

Kate was about to say ok, but when he saw Adrian's smile, he swallowed the words back.

Is there anything...is it wrong?Kate asked with a silence.

No, nothing.Now Adrian sighed, and to be honest, you performed well in "Memory Fragments", better than Dan, second only to Joe.

This is true. Although Dennis did a good job, and his makeup and acting skills basically met Adrian's requirements, he still did not do well in some small details because he was too young.

Ordinary audiences may not be aware of this, but Adrian, who has watched it countless times during editing, is very clear about this.

Fortunately, the wonderful enough stories make up for this.

Although Kate is equally young, even a little too young, first of all, she is not like Dennis, whose shots run throughout the entire movie; secondly, the younger she is, the more aura she is, and the more malleable she is. In addition, Adrian, who is too familiar with the movie, made slightly modified the script and guided it from the side, and specially asked the makeup artist to make her an ugly costume that is even worse than the original, which covers her beauty, so she performed very well.
