Chapter 235: The Unmissable Preliminary Ceremony

Sometimes time passes quickly, especially when you're unaware, blinking, a month or months pass. With the arrival of the end of August, "Four Weddings and a Funeral" will be ready for screening in time for the summer break.

Because of Adrian and Julia's scandals, the film first attracted public attention, and journalists did a lot of reporting. Later, attention declined slightly as the heat of scandal subsided, but as trailers aired and movie companies began to advertise on a large scale, it still attracted a lot of people.

“Best Love Movie of the Year", “Julia's Best Performance After The Moon Beauty" and other propaganda phrases frequently appeared in newspapers, and attracting viewers to the movie in the first place with exaggerated words is an indispensable propaganda technique, even if the movie fails.

Some commentators who have seen the screening agree, and a columnist wrote in The Chicago Tribune:

“Interesting and cozy drama is the biggest viewing point of the film, and the stunning encounter of a conservatively sensitive but autonomous actress led to a series of chemical reactions, coupled with well-handled English humor and four completely different styles of weddings and funerals. Most interestingly, the windy male lead is British, while the conservatively sensitive female lead is American, which inevitably has a slight sense of misplacement, but the bias is that this sense of misplacement gives a strong sense of empathy. Well, I can't say much, but wait for the movie to show. ”

But some people don't think so.

“I can't imagine a male actor who often plays street games and decadent men in cult-type films, and now suddenly becomes a flirtatious person and talks to Julia about love. Well, Dennis is a good actor, at least I think his performance in Memory Fragment is poignant, but that doesn't mean he's really fit for a romantic comedy movie, and I have no idea how the director and the producer chose the character, and I'm pessimistic about the future of the movie. ”

“A lot of people seem to be expecting this movie, but what I'm saying is, let's think about that awful" Stay Lovers. "Although no one has mentioned it now, it doesn't mean that Julia and the movie's failures don't exist. Yes, Julia's character is still so independent and individualistic, but apart from repeating and repeating, there is no innovation at all, and I can almost predict the future of the film. ”

Interesting two comments, the former obviously did not attend the screening, but based on the impression of the trailer and the actor, so I did not like Dennis. The latter obviously saw the screening and deliberately wrote something about Julia. The former appeared cautious, while the latter appeared careless.

But there is no need to take these too seriously. Criticism is always easier than praise, and if you want to praise it, the film must have something to praise, unless the flaws are portrayed as merits with a thick face. But if you want to criticize, you can always find a loophole. Not only actors, British humor in movies, but also the image of the British and Americans in them, have been single-minded by some critics who like to prick.

Besides, this objectively attracted a lot of attention, and the company spared no effort in publicizing the film, which gained good visibility before it was released. As for what's really going on, it's still not popular, and when the movie goes on, it's natural to know.

On the day of 31 August, many journalists were guarded outside the Graumann Theatre long ago, and since publicity has already made this premiere a must. But this is not the primary purpose of the journalists, who prefer to capture Adrian and Julia intimately at the premiere ceremony. Although the scandal is no longer as eye-catching as it was in the beginning, it still retains a certain degree of heat.

Besides, did you join Monica later? Belucci, everything seems so much more distracted. Who exactly is Adrian dating? Or are you on two boats? Or, like some tabloids say, hold it to the right?

Unfortunately, neither Adrian nor Julia gave them the opportunity, and the time they had arrived at the theater was completely missed. Adrian arrived long after Julia had gone in, and neither of them had responded positively to the journalists' questions.

“Come on, guys, you've been asking for months, can't you just focus on something else?” The black long-sleeved jacket on the top and the short skirt on the bottom reveal a pair of good long legs, Julia said in a helpless tone.

“Hey, guys, be professional, it's the premiere of the movie today, okay?” Adrian shrugged at them with a smile and walked straight inside.

“Damn it, why can't they cooperate?” Journalists complain so much, but no matter how unhappy they are, Julia and Adrian can't help it. After making up stories for so long, the public has a certain immunity, and if you want to dig deeper, you have to talk to the photographs.

Unfortunately, since the last lesson, Adrian has been very careful that no journalist has been given the opportunity - deliberately - to have dinner with Monica, apart from what was almost discovered on Santa Monica's side last month.

As for the press conference that followed, which fool would have asked that question at that time?

“I suddenly have some sympathy for those guys out there.” Julia smiled and said to Adrian.

“They're not worthy of sympathy, Julie, and sympathy is like finding trouble for yourself.” Adrian shrugged her shoulders and then looked around, reaching over her waist with a thunderbolt.

Julia wasn't talking, just looking at Adrian in a complicated way, and even though they were standing shoulder to shoulder in the middle of the hall with their heads gushing, there was no physical contact. In fact, this was true for both parties, including several parties that had previously been attended together, some intimately and some as soon as they left. After all, in such a crowded place, if it's too intimate, who knows if anyone will say anything.

“By the way, Julie, when the movie starts, why don't we go somewhere and have a chat?” Adrian whispered with a smile in her eyes.

“I'm sorry, I'm not interested today.” Julia glanced at him and turned around and walked away.

Looking at her beautiful back, Adrian shook her head with a smile. After so long of dating Julia, how could he not understand? Some grievances were confusing but more difficult to resist, so she chose silence on certain things. Dating Monica in front of a reporter is a distraction, but not a test visit to Julia.

And the result, of course, was Adrian's will, and this silence was kind of like gay in the U.S. Army, and everybody knew who was going on, but as long as nobody reported it, everyone would choose to ignore it, and of course, once they reported it, it would be a problem. This is what's happening between him and Julia, and although there are unpredictable factors, it doesn't matter if she has any thoughts or not.

“Hi, Dan, Norrie.” After a temporary separation from Julia, Adrian quickly found Dennis in the crowd, and he was with Verona in a skinny shoulder dress? Ryder.

“Hey, Ed, looks like you've escaped the interrogation of those guys out there.” Dennis smiled and greeted him.

“Yeah.” Adrian shrugged, and he wanted to ask, "You don't look like you've ever escaped." Dennis took Vinona to the film premiere this rare public event, and before that, Vinona had broken up with Depp and lived with Dennis, but there was always some cover in front of the reporters, and this time it was a complete public announcement of the relationship between the two, and the reporters out there were no geniuses.

Combined with some scenes from the previous Old Friends celebration party, Adrian inevitably had some thoughts, so he wanted to try and ask a few questions. But after looking at Verona around Dennis, he swallowed it back.

Now Verona doesn't look at him the way she did at the "Four Weddings and a Funeral" set, but it's not cold every time she sees him. I don't know what's going on in her head, but Dennis kept smiling in private and apologizing to Adrian, and maybe that's what happened to young people who were famous too early to suffer any setbacks.

Of course, Adrian cares, not in Dennis's face.

“How do you look a little nervous, it's not your first time in a movie.” Adrian weighed him up and down and asked jokingly.

“Not so obvious, is it?” Dennis looked at himself and sighed, "Of course I knew it wasn't my first film, but it was my first romantic romance comedy. ”

“What, you believe those guys too? Your old character made you unfit for romantic romance comedy?” Adrian picked the eyebrows, "don't you even have that confidence? ”

“Of course not," Dennis shook his head, "it's not that I didn't attend the screening, it's just... it's like walking up to the stage and waiting for everyone to judge me, even if I had enough experience, I was still a little excited and uneasy. ”

“It's okay, I believe my eyes, people will love your performance.” Adrian smiles and looks at Verona, "if you still have doubts, ask Norrie. Do you think Dan is usually a romantic person, Norrie? ”

“Of course.” Verona shrugged, not hesitating to answer.

“I remember…” she said, revealing her memories again, but Dennis immediately coughed.

When Adrian saw this scene, he shook his head with a smile and said, "Well, I won't bother you. ”

He turned around and left. He walked out of the distance before looking back. They obviously spoke intimately and smiled on their faces. Looking back again, Adrian shrugged his shoulders and walked away.
