Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 502 The Curse of the Pharaoh

Although it is destined to be impacted by "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace" within three weeks of its release, this will not affect fans' enthusiasm for the movie "The Mummy".

Therefore, the premiere on the night of May 1st was still very lively.

This time, Charlotte chose to hold the North American premiere at the Night Owl Cinema.

Although the director himself did not go to the red carpet to join in the fun, the mere appearance of a group of creative actors such as Brendan Fisher and Rachel Weisz was enough to interest the audience.

What's more, in order to enhance the atmosphere, the cinema also made a lot of interior decorations, and even made the entrance of the screening hall directly into the style of a pyramid entrance.

This makes many people find it very interesting.

Everyone was busy for a while before finally entering the screening room before the premiere started.

**********

Donnie sat down in his seat and yawned out of habit.

This is a physiological phenomenon caused by his recent withdrawal reaction. Downey himself is very tired of it, but there is nothing he can do about it.

Who allowed him to seek death like that back then! ?

"I just hope this movie won't make me sleepy!"

Danny was secretly looking forward to it.

It's not that he underestimates Charlotte's ability as a director, but as a practitioner in the film industry, Downey feels he is well-informed——

He feels that commercial movies in the conventional sense, no matter how well they are made, may not be of much interest to him.

After all, in Hollywood commercial blockbusters, the unfolding of plots and stories is generally very stylized - this is due to commercial needs.

And this kind of plot, no matter how well the director grasps the rhythm, is actually nothing new in the eyes of a veteran actor like Downey.

——This is the same reason that some senior chefs often don’t like to eat the dishes they cook.

Although there are respectable people in this world who "love what they do", there are more people who feel tired after working long hours and "hate whatever they do".

Although Downey has not reached that level, his favorability for ordinary commercial movies is actually very average.

——You know, this man once received an Oscar nomination for Best Actor for the biographical film "Chaplin".

Of course, Downey still doesn't dare to underestimate the movie of the famous Charlotte Booth, which is currently very popular in Hollywood.

What's more, if his luck is not too bad, he may have to make a living under Charlotte Booth for the next year or so.

In this case, Downey still needs to at least understand the future BOSS's directing style.

only--

Downey, who was still trying to quit and would fall into addiction from time to time, couldn't help but yawn again.

Then, the movie started——

**********

“Is this what people were like in ancient Egypt?”

Looking at the scenes from the ancient Egyptian era that appeared on the big screen, Jaina was not only happy.

It should be said that no matter where people are, they actually prefer exotic customs.

After all, it’s fresh!

In particular, the charming look of Ansuna, the pharaoh's concubine who had an affair with the high priest Immorton, made the relatively trendy Jaina like it very much.

She had even begun to consider cosplaying with the pharaoh's concubine at the Stanford Masquerade Ball.

As for Ansuna's dress, except for the various gold jewelry on her body, it was actually only slightly better than her naked body, but Jaina didn't care.

——There is no way, although Emily’s character has completely collapsed and changed from a bitch-faced to a silly and sweet girl, but in daily life, Gianna is a bold and unrestrained woman after all.

Especially in a masquerade party where everyone is having a high time, Jaina feels that this kind of dressing up is actually completely fine.

——To a certain extent, it will be more convenient for some things later.

current,

The premise is that she can meet someone that Jaina likes.

In contrast, Emily, who watched "The Mummy" with her, has a much purer heart.

This Charlotte fan simply enjoyed the plot -

After all, the high priest had an affair with the pharaoh's favorite concubine, and when the pharaoh discovered it, he simply killed the pharaoh. Although it is bloody, it seems really fun.

Especially, the real history is much more exaggerated than this.

Among other things, in "Braveheart" released a few years ago, the French princess Isabella, played by Sophie Marceau, was based on the famous "French She-Wolf" in British history——

Although she majored in accounting, unlike ordinary Americans, Emily, who was very interested in history, knew how ruthless the "French she-wolf" was.

Among other things, the former French princess and later Queen of England once held power for a period of time in British history.

At that time, in order to take revenge on her gay husband who married her as a decoration, she directly asked someone to poke a red-hot iron drill through the part her husband usually used to "enjoy"...

There were actually many kings and emperors killed in history, but those who were killed like this...

Anyway, even if Emily is a woman, she still feels pain.

In comparison, the story of the murder of the pharaoh by the high priest Immorton and his lover Ansuna in the movie seems childish.

Of course, murdering the pharaoh is not a trivial matter after all——

After being discovered, Ansuna was forced to commit suicide.

Although the high priest Immorton sneaked into Hamnat, the city of the dead, and wanted to use the Black Book of the Dead to resurrect his lover, he was ultimately stopped by the Pharaoh's guards.

He was executed, sealed alive in a sarcophagus filled with man-eating scarabs, and endured the torment of insect bites for eternity.

However, because this criminal law is too cruel, and because Immorton, as the high priest, already possesses magical power, he has therefore become a monster. Once released, he will cause trouble to the world...

**********

"So, is this high priest Immorton the ultimate BOSS in this movie?"

Seeing this, the movie title "The Mummy" appeared on the big screen, and Downey easily understood the content of the beginning of the plot.

"This narrative is clean and neat, and the rhythm is very well controlled. It is indeed the work of a great director."

Donnie murmured to himself,

"However, if you look at it this way, director Charlotte Booth's directing style has a very obvious commercial flavor! I wonder if I can adapt to it!?"

Speaking of which, Downey has always been a literary and artistic young man so far - even the aspect of taking drugs is the same.

He doubted whether he could adapt to Charlotte Booth's style of a purely commercial film director.

However, the movies on the big screen will not stop because of Downey's self-doubt——

Thousands of years of vicissitudes of life have passed in the blink of an eye, and the year 1923 has arrived.

In the storage room behind the big screen, Charlotte also opened her eyes...
