[US Entertainment] Hollywood reverses life

The first three episodes of "Big Little Lies" have been filmed and are currently in post-production. Because of the excellent performances of several leading actors, the entire filming progress is extremely smooth.Probably this is the benefit of working with actresses.

However, in the post-production, the special effects artist found that Joey especially liked to use those coquettish BGMs, which made the rhythm, shots, pictures, and characters of the entire TV series so coquettish that he couldn't look directly at them.

HBO's promotion for "Big Little Lies" has been in full swing, and they even claim that this is the best American drama after "True Detective" and "Breaking Bad".

For the promotion of this TV series, several leading actors will appear on various promotional programs from time to time, and some talk shows.

If American dramas also have a main theme, praising friendship must be the longest and most enduring theme.

For teenagers, "Pretty Little Liars" or "Bankrupt Sisters" have already begun to make them accept the concept of "men with water, sisters with iron"; when they grow up and enter the society, several American college students in "Sex and the City" Niu's emotions and life philosophy are equivalent to a bible for many American women today; as for after entering marriage, there is "Desperate Housewives", which makes people see a little hope from female friendship in the long 8 seasons of desperate life .Under this complex theme, American dramas have even tried to convey some female-themed dramas that do not seem crooked but are actually the truth, such as "Female Maid" involving ethnic minorities, or "Female Maid" that describes borderline emotions. "mistress".

So every time these three heroines appear on the promotional program, they appear as a very united female community, and of course they will bring a Joey.

Every time he participates in any promotional program, the host will ask Joey, "What point do you want to express in this TV series? This is the first independent female-themed work you participated in the production of."

Joey took the microphone and said in a very calm and calm tone to all the people who were looking forward to this TV series in front of the screen: "In this drama, we discussed bullying, sexual assault, domestic violence, single mothers, and children's adolescence. Education, family reorganization (including how to reconcile the relationship between the new husband and children). All these issues will be dealt with in the play under the premise of artistic treatment. We have no opinions to express, but just hope to promote people's understanding thinking and discussion."

The host asked: "So, this is a film that defends women and challenges men's rights?"

Joey shook his head very negatively, "No, this TV series doesn't have such a strong point of view, it just tells about a few mothers, for example: they give the audience an initial impression, and then they overcome difficulties, protect themselves, and show different personalities And human nature, the real them are completely different from the first impression."

The host asked again, "So under the huge uncertainty, the only certainty is the friendship between women?"

Joy finally smiled and answered affirmatively: "Yes, the essence of this show is women's friendship, women's united front, the strength we have together, and how we can protect each other."

The HBO producer also added on the side: "It's very rare to portray a female character so full, and it's not just one woman, it's three. It's fascinating. At first we thought it would make a movie, but it turned out It is very suitable for the form of a limited series, and we are also very excited. We want to show so many important things, but also compress the plot into seven hours, which is also a challenge."

"Okay, then let's officially look forward to the broadcast of this TV series."

The above interview is a short interview with Joey on HBO TV before the broadcast of "Laughing Lies". This interview is like an advertisement, which is often broadcast on HBO TV in turn.

HBO's official website has been screened by fans day and night. Everyone is looking forward to the broadcast of this TV series. After all, any name of these women is very fascinating.

On a Saturday night, "Big Little Lies" began to air.

At this time, Joy was in her villa, and she and Tom had just finished dinner.As for Tom, apparently he left work early and returned to Los Angeles in order to be able to see the premiere of Joey's TV series.

Tom lay on the sofa and changed the TV channels at will, because it was still early, and he was planning to see if there were any programs he was interested in.

Unfortunately, no.

He couldn't find what he wanted to watch, no matter what kind of TV series was on.Then he glanced at the door of the bathroom at the end of the corridor. There was a warm orange light inside, and the sound of running water could be heard.

He simply put down the remote control in his hand, got up and walked to the bathroom at the other end of the corridor.

Joy sprayed her face with the shower head for a long time, and when she turned around, she saw Tom had walked in. She was startled, "You scared me to death, dear."

Tom was wearing a large white bathrobe, and glanced at the foggy mirror, "Watching TV is so boring, it's better to watch you."

Then he leaned against the mirror and squinted at Joey with his chest folded.

Joey combed all the wet hair behind his head with his hands, revealing a pair of eyes filled with moisture, and that wet look looked extraordinarily sexy.

She tried to see Tom through the fog, only to find that Tom had opened the glass curtain door without her knowing.

And then—he walked in.

The water from the shower also instantly wet his hair and bathrobe, and the sound of the water was still flowing.

He didn't even speak, but rubbed his hand back and forth on Joey's jaw a few times, and then his eyes met Joey's for two seconds.

In those short two seconds, there was a fierce desire meeting in the eyes of the two, as if nothing needed to be explained.

Then Tom turned his head slightly and began to kiss Joey's lips hard and recklessly.

While kissing him, Joey gently tore off the belt around his waist, and Tom's bathrobe fell to the ground in an instant, revealing his strong and powerful body.

……

The shower head was turned off.

Joy was turned over, facing the wall of white tiles, she supported the wall with her hands, her fingernails slammed into the tiles deeply, and her knuckles were slightly white from the force.

Tom bent over and pressed against her back, sweeping his fingers over Joy's lower body, and he whispered in Joy's ear, "It's already terribly wet."

Joey muttered, "That's so long-winded." Then he hooked his neck with his backhand and began to kiss him.

After sucking her tongue, Tom bit her ear and said, "So I start?"

He turned Joy over to face him, spread her legs and picked her up against the tiled wall.

……

The sound in the bathroom started to get louder. There were various voices, including whispers, body-collisions, violent panting, and depressing groans, and sometimes short laughter.

……

Joey and Tom were sitting on the sofa waiting for the broadcast of "Big Little Lies". Joey was eating a can of ice cream with a spoon. Tom seemed a little tired. He leaned on the sofa and checked his mailbox with his mobile phone, then watched Joey, who was concentrating on watching the TV screen, raised his eyebrows and mocked, "Are you in good spirits?"

Joey suddenly looked at him, "I suddenly discovered something, has no one told you before?"

Tom frowned and smiled, "What?"

Joey began to make nonsense nonsense in a serious manner, "Has no one ever praised you as a human-meat driver-pile machine?"

"..." I was taken aback for a moment.

Then Tom glanced at Joey, "Who taught you these dirty jokes?"

Joey laughed out loud.

Then the TV show started.To be precise, "Big Little Lies" started.

The name of the first episode is - "Somebody's Dead" (Somebody's Dead).

And the episode fits that title perfectly, kicking off with a death at a charity night.

This is not new. There are many American dramas that start with death to contrast with daily life, such as "Desperate Housewives" and "Pretty Little Liars".

But "Big Little Lies" is very different from these episodes, because from the beginning to the end, not to mention the murderer, even the identity of the deceased is unclear.

Joey smiled and hooked Tom's neck, "Do you need me to tell you who the dead is?"

Tom didn't answer directly, "Let me read on."

The story slowly begins when the police investigate the case and ask a group of people who eat melons in a small town. From the descriptions of the people, it seems that every character has an inescapable suspicion. The plot is advancing little by little under such suspense.

Madeleine, played by Marion Cotillard, was really eye-catching when she appeared on the stage. A lifelike, love-hate, helpful woman who is in a leading position among friends just appeared in front of the screen.

But when the camera turns to her family life, the audience can clearly feel her happiness and serenity in an instant, but behind the calmness, the past abandoned by her ex-husband actually makes her still brood on her heart. When comparing herself with her ex-husband’s current wife , she became almost hysterical.In the three months since she betrayed her beloved husband and cheated, the anxiety under that lie has been tormenting her.

Then, the second heroine appeared. Catherine Zeta-Jones played the role of a noble woman with unparalleled beauty and harmlessness to humans and animals. She used to be a professional lawyer, but now she is a full-time wife living in a mansion with sea view. Deng Duo is the local king and queen.

But when the camera turns again, the audience can quickly see that her handsome and wealthy husband has a tendency to domestic violence—although after the abuse, the audience seems to see Catherine’s passionate scene as compensation—that kind of continuous The beautiful life that Madeleine envied unceasingly was a lie that cost a lot to maintain and paid a painful price.

Finally, the final woman, Anna Paquin's Jane, a single mother who gave birth out of wedlock, immediately makes it clear to the audience that the biggest secret she's keeping can only be: who the father is.

The characters that have appeared from the beginning to the present are all dominated by women, and any viewer may not be able to help but sigh—the power of women in this TV series is too strong.

This sense of suspense is like a rope that tightens every audience's neck, constantly forcing them to pursue every detail in the play and find the possibility of the dead and the murderer.

In this beautiful seaside city, besides a dead person and a murderer are hidden, everyone in the play also hides their own secrets, like a fire, you don’t know when it will hurt you It can be hidden, and I don't know how tragic the consequences will be when it is exposed.

Joey weakened the picture, structure, and narrative this time, focusing on the personal charm of the three protagonists.

The intertwined relationship between characters like a spider's web, the entanglement of interests, and the wrapping of layers of desires create a space that is isolated from reality and almost surreal, which fits with the weird atmosphere.

Close your eyes and all you will remember are the faces of those three women.

And the coquettish red in the dream and the never-ending fans above the stairs.

Joey still regards this TV series as a movie.Every time she plays, it must represent the highest level of American TV dramas.

At this time, all the viewers in the United States who watched this TV series in front of the TV were extremely excited, although most of them were female viewers.

The temperament of this TV series is different from female dramas such as "Desperate Housewives" and "Sex and the City". sex.

This indicates that this drama will definitely be a well-received TV series.

To live up to expectations, on the cover of the "Daily TV" magazine released the next day, what you can see is - ""Big Little Lies" ratings are soaring all the way".

The following is what the columnist and well-known film critic of "Daily TV" has to say.

"As HBO's opening drama "Big Little Lies", it has just aired its first episode, and it already has the air of a drama."

"But words like divine drama are too cheap."

"It's like how people often call the waiters beautiful and handsome at night food stalls. If you really want to praise a work, the word drama is too simple and cheap."

"This TV series has a strong female perspective, but the structure and layout are full of secrets, and the performance of the characters is full of tension."

"I think this beginning alone can be called a secret and great story."

As soon as this new year's drama is broadcast, various Hollywood film and television magazines will release their first batch of film reviews as soon as possible. According to the usual practice, they will still go to websites such as Rotten Tomatoes and IMBD to collect opinions.

"Big Little Lies", as a genre drama with another style, received a lot of comments from the audience just a few hours after it was broadcast.

Because this drama has made them wait for a long time.

"The light of genre drama."

"I thought it was just a housewife drama, but I didn't expect it to be a genre drama."

"The first episode was filmed in a very layered manner, full of explosions, and it's a very good show."

"In a slow drama, the performances of the actors are amazing."

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... !!"

Another glance at the score, 9.1 points.

Only one episode has aired, and the score of 9.1 is enough to be called the drama of the year.

The ratings are booming. The average number of viewers in the first episode is 133 million, and the highest peak is as high as 186 million. This will definitely become the biggest hit in the new season of HBO. Moreover, judging from the style of the first episode and the performance of the actors, Ai There is absolutely no way out of nominations for the Academy Awards.

HBO seems to have won the battle again this time, pulling a few big actresses and top directors to engage in a big event.

From this moment on, the limelight of "Big Little Lies" really picked up.Major media websites have issued notices about the excellent style of this TV series, and the popularity of this TV series has also risen.

Posts recommending this TV series can be seen in many film and television forums, and people are full of praise for it: wonderful bitch acting, not to be missed.Bitch by the sea, I quietly watch you tear it up.

But no matter how popular this show is after only airing the first episode, what Joey should do is to continue filming the next four unfinished episodes.

She returned to that charming seaside town, where the angel and the devil were united, to resume the filming process.

After the success of the first episode, the protagonists are obviously more confident. They are no longer satisfied with performing to their heart's content, but hope to strive to make a truly wonderful annual drama.

Obviously, they are not surprised that Joy always shoots TV series in the same way as filming, and they even think this is the most stylish place.

It's just that in a sunny and cloudless weather, it was time for lunch, and Joey didn't expect that someone would come to visit her class.

It wasn't until the assistant told her the second time, "Director, someone is visiting your class at the door." Joey finally realized that someone came to visit the class?

Anna Paquin was eating a piece of marinated beef, she turned her head and looked at Joey curiously, "HELLO, can you tell me who is visiting the class, could it be the lover Tom Cruise!?"

Joey squeezed her shoulder threateningly, "Don't talk nonsense, he's been quite busy recently."

Then Joey went out, and when she walked out of the shooting area, she came to a meeting point in this small town, but was surprised to find that the person standing there was really Tom!

He came alone, without assistants, managers, or even a suitcase. He just stood there with a pair of big sunglasses, looked at the stop sign of the town, and then frowned at the sky. Sunshine.

Joey really didn't expect him to come to visit the class... She hurried over and grabbed his wrist, with a surprised smile, "My God, why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Tom pulled her wrist and walked forward, frowning with patience, "Let's get out of here first, the sun here is really unbearable."

Then Joey took Tom directly to the set, when Tom Cruise appeared on the set.

All eyes were on him, and they looked at him with surprise, amazement, fierceness, and dull eyes.

Because no one expected to see Tom Cruise in person.

All the sitting staff stood up involuntarily... Even Catherine Zeta-Jones slowly stood up from her chair.

And then... Countless staff members present began to secretly take photos crazily, and then immediately uploaded the first-hand photos to social software such as Facebook—"Tom Cruise is here to visit!"

It didn't take long for the day's Facebook headline to become "Tom Cruise visits Joey"

And attached a few groups of photos taken secretly. Tom stood beside Joey, and the two whispered to each other, not knowing what they were talking about.

Countless netizens commented below, "Tiantiantian, you blinded me as a single dog."

"Single dogs rely on Joey's candy to eat dog food, bark bark bark."

"These two people really deserve each other. I usually seldom say this to my partners in the entertainment industry, except for them."

"Mrs. Cruise and Husband Grant who give out sugar all the time."

Joey was still standing on the set and complaining to Tom, "Can't you let me know in advance when you come to visit the set next time?"

Tom stood there calmly, as if he had long been used to being photographed non-stop by people from all walks of life, so he simply stood still and let people take enough shots. He said hello to others and said with a smile: "I prefer I was surprised to see you."

At this moment, several leading actors came over to say hello to Tom. Catherine and Tom had acted in a movie together. It's so flashy here that I don't even have an appetite for lunch."

The two talked a few more words, and it could be seen that Tom and Catherine still got along very well.

After the whole afternoon of shooting, Tom sat quietly and watched, not only did not interrupt, but also surprisingly quiet, basically not disturbing the shooting.

But his photos are still being secretly photographed one by one and then posted on the Internet.

After the whole day of filming was over, Joey walked up to Tom, and she pushed his shoulder, "Why, it's been a day since I watched it, do you have anything to say?"

Tom was drinking mineral water, he frowned, and his thin lips pulled out a faint smirk, "Tsk... I think we can try some poses in those flirty shots you took."

Joey pinched him hard.

The author has something to say: I also want to return all the ellipsis to you! JJ won't let it! !
