Vol 3 Chapter 213 The outpost is still

    “The story is simple, George Valentine was the star of the silent film era, his fame was unrivaled, and he was a box office guarantee. However, the advent of the sound film era shattered it all , he insisted on the art of silent film and refused to make his own voice, so he did not fall from the throne unexpectedly, became destitute, and the glory was gone.

    He struggled hard, his heart was full of confusion, and he even wanted to commit suicide by swallowing a gun. But Pepi Miller, the girl he once helped, who took him as an idol and became famous by being the first voice in a sound film, tried everything for him, and finally pulled him out of the haze and re-established started his own business.

    Sounds like an old-fashioned inspirational story, and it looks like it is, but Michael Hazanavicius and Sean Don and Naomi Watts, It gave this old-fashioned movie a different freshness.

    Speaking of silent films, what everyone thinks most should be Chaplin’s films. This great actor created an era, but in the 1920s, the prosperity of silent films was not what it is today How much. In an era when the soundtrack still needed to be performed live, the actors used their body language to display a picture of uplifting, moving and sad on the screen.

    Sean Tang and Naomi Watts successfully reproduced this scene on the screen. This film has no rich colors, no brilliant skills, but with a nostalgic atmosphere, with The superb acting skills put the starting point of Hollywood in front of people. “The Artist” and “Avatar” are completely opposite extremes. The latter fully demonstrates the extremes of modern film industry technology, while the former shows the beginning of everything. For this alone, I will at least give a thumbs up. ”

    —Roger Albert.

    Albert’s film review came out as early as after the preview of “The Artist”, and gave a pretty good review, so after the official release, Weinstein took it out again and hyped it up. After all, Albert is the only film critic to have ever won a Pulitzer Prize.

    Even though he has surgery due to illness and can no longer speak, he still writes and writes film reviews.

    Basically, as long as it is a film critic, the reviews of “The Artist” are good, especially those older film critics think the film is full of beauty, just like “Le Figaro” It’s full of poetry.

      It has become popular, and silent films usually know a few masters including Chaplin, so they are somewhat curious about silent films.

    After being baptized by various blockbusters, such a movie suddenly appeared retro, just like the big fish and the meat are used to the sudden dish of small vegetables, it is extra refreshing.

      , and highlight the hero’s love for the movie – for example, after the heroine heard about the hero, she came to the hero’s house in the rainy night and wanted to tell him that your movie is still wonderful, the focus here is the movie and the movie. Art.

    “That’s a great movie, that’s art, and you shouldn’t give up.” That’s what the old subtitles read.

    Similarly, when the male protagonist set fire to burn the film after being drunk, he suddenly woke up, hugged those copies reluctantly and burst into tears. In these few shots, Sean and Naomi both performed extremely well, coupled with the excellent soundtrack, which impressed many critics with serious nostalgia complex.

    “This is a tribute to the Eighth Art.”

    “Sean Down brings Clark Gable to life on the big screen again.”

    “It’s a silent film, but it’s more passionate and dynamic than most.”

    Such comments abound, even if there are some noises, they are quickly pressed down.

    Of course, there are pros and cons. Although the word of mouth is very good, don’t expect it at the box office. The audience is not a critic. After all, most people prefer big fish and big meat, and after all, it is commercial movies that make a lot of money. Now is not the era of silent films.

    But that’s okay, Sean didn’t expect this movie to make money from the beginning, and everyone knows what the purpose of this movie is.

    And “The Artist” did not live up to Sean’s expectations, although several major Film Critics Association awards in the outpost, only won the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award for Best Actor, but in the entry After 10 years, he won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor again!

    “Thank you, thank you to the Press Association, I don’t know what to say anymore, I really didn’t expect to get another one in such a short time.” The winner of the Golden Globe Award The trophy, Sean stood on the stage and gave a speech, “Thank you to the “Sherlock Holmes” crew, to Guy and Jude…”

    He was right, because it was not the best actor in a drama, but the best actor in a musical/comedy, nominated for Sherlock Holmes.

    Sean was nominated for two acting awards at this year’s Golden Globes, one for Best Actor in a Drama, and one for Best Actor in a Musical/Comedy. It’s a comedy, but it’s okay to say anything.

    Of course, this is Weinstein’s suggestion, one for Best Actor in a Drama, one for Best Actor in a Musical/Comedy, for both nominations, it’s not that no one is at the Golden Globes anyway Did it. And once this goal is achieved, it takes a little effort to operate, and you should get one no matter what – of course, it is better to win together, but unfortunately it is basically a dream.

    Now that he is right, the award is wrong. Sean hopes to be the second best actor in a drama, but it has only been a year since he last won this, and the Journalists Association is also What’s more, if it wasn’t for “The Artist” being well received, he wouldn’t necessarily have won the Best Actor in a Musical/Comedy.

    “This is actually better. It not only lets people know that the journalists association values ​​you, but also puts some pressure on the film school, so as not to make you too showy.” At the subsequent celebration party, Wayne Stan said so.

    “Okay, you say yes,” Sean could only shrug, “I’ll leave it to you, I’ll do whatever you want me to do.”

    “Sounds like I’m unemployed.” Frederick interjected immediately.

    “Sounds like you’ve never been so unemployed.” Sean immediately countered, and then they all laughed.

    The party was held in Sean’s mansion in Beverly Hills, so several of the closest friends were here, but some people didn’t come for some reason, this time he Just call to say hello.

    “Yes, I know, I also understand…No problem, I’ll listen to you…Okay, let the little guy answer the phone.” Standing in the corner of no one, Sean smiled on the phone.

    “Dad!” Suri’s milky voice came quickly.

    “Hey sweetie, just hearing your voice makes me so happy.” Sean’s smile deepened.

    “Mom said, you won the prize tonight, I want…I want…I want…” The daughter “I want” over there for a long time without “I want” out, Sean almost She can picture her pouting mouth in her head.

    But Suri finally “I want” out: “I want to congratulate you!”

    “Thank you, dear, I am very happy to hear your blessing.” Sean laughed.

    “Then you…will you come to play with me tomorrow?” The little guy immediately asked again.

    “Of course, dear, we agreed to go to Disneyland together. Dad is not someone who can’t talk.” Sean said immediately.

    “Okay, okay!” The daughter immediately cheered.

     After saying a few more words, Sean hung up the phone, sighed lightly, paused for a few minutes, and made another call, this time naturally to Naomi and Alexander .

    The reason why they didn’t attend his celebration party was because they didn’t want to see each other, although it was not that they had not seen each other before, but they were cold to each other – Katie most obviously – and hardly talked. To make matters worse, if the two little guys are there when they are there, even if they are already very affectionate with each other, they will become cramped.

    In this case, it can only minimize the number of times Naomi and Katie meet, so they basically don’t come to this kind of celebration party.

    However, then again, even if there is no such problem, Zoe, Emily, and Camilla and Haydn will not participate. Camilla and Haydn didn’t talk about it. They never met his other women, because then he belonged only to them. Sean never commented on such naive or twisted ideas.

    As for Zoe, well, she can always go her own way and say “I don’t want to participate” and Shawn is dismissed, even though she’s still his wife, and legally.

    Maybe I should think of a way to make her belly bigger. Evil thoughts popped into Sean’s mind, but he quickly shook his head again, because he thought of Kate’s three, who were not his and were indeed his children.

    After making the agreement, Sean did not ask any more, and Kate also sent a few pictures of the child from time to time, not directly to him, but posted on Twitter, To this end, Kate had to break the previous low-key style.

    “It’s really annoying.” When he came to the yard, breathing the cold air, Sean looked at the sky and muttered something like this, but unfortunately because of the light pollution, he couldn’t see it. To the stars, otherwise it must be wonderful.

      Did what I wanted to do, but…then what?

    This question only lasted for a few seconds, and Sean laughed. He hasn’t reached the top yet, so what are you thinking about? And, even if you do, there are still higher peaks that no one could climb before, right?

    Then, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, trouble came.

    “Sean, I have something to tell you.” Emma’s voice sounded.
