On the big screen, the waitress walks to the table at Hoover's house. From this long shot, you can see a little girl sitting across the aisle at the opposite table reading a book. Before you can see her clearly, it is the waitress. Frontal medium shot.
She is a very fat young woman, holding a pen and notebook, with a sincere smile on her face, a happy lower-class person.
Everyone started ordering, but Oliver hesitated and couldn't answer the waitress's question: "Umsorry, I'm sorry"
In the single close-up shot, Richard seizes the opportunity to teach: "Don't just apologize, Oliver, that is a sign of a person's vulnerability." In the exquisite side-angle shot of multiple people, only Richard on the far right is not in the frame. Inside, everyone was speechless.
"Oh, oh, I want waffles, andwhat does 'a-la-touch d-ee' mean?" Oliver asked.
"It means it comes with ice cream." The waitress's smile was even brighter, full of kindness to the children, as if to say, it's very delicious.
"Okay, I want this 'a-la-touch d-ee'" Oliver smiled.
Outside the screen, the atmosphere of admiration at the film critics' screening was even greater. Ye Wei once again gave a superb performance. In such a small space, which is smaller than the dining room, his arrangement is really enjoyable, and what is surprising is that not only The leading actors acted well, even the waitress who was supposed to be a supporting role was very eye-catching!
With just a few daily words and a few ordinary scenes, the waitress acted in a way that was both real and believable, and had her own characteristics, leaving a deep impression.
In 3116 theaters, some viewers recognized the fat lady, "Sookie" from the TV series "Gilmore Girls"! What's it called? Not many people remember that the must-see episode of "Gilmore Girls" is about Bard Knows, Melissa McCarthy!
"Melissa McCarthy also starred in lms!" Bud was simply shocked and said anxiously to the people around him, "Suki, Suki!" Why didn't Brother Wei say it? Didn't he know she was my idol! ?
McCarthy is just a bit player in the film industry. The audience did not pay much attention to her, and there was a dispute on the screen because Oliver ordered ice cream, and Richard was unhappy, "Ice cream is made from cream, which is milk, and there are many factors that make people fat "
He ignored Cheryl's stop, "So if you eat a lot of ice cream, you will get fat." His eyes turned in one direction, and Oliver also looked. Everything in the camera was the fat waiter in the distance. From the back, she is really fat.
"But if you don't eat, you will stay in good shape and slim."
With the soft voice-over, Oliver's eyes moved and his expression became more hesitant. The camera cuts to the middle shot of the dining table opposite. The girl is in the mirror head-on. She is in simple clothes, has long blond hair, and is petite. She is reading a book calmly, seemingly not hearing, but seeming to hear.
Now many viewers recognize who this is, not too many, but quite a few, especially the young teenagers who still watch Nickelodeon, Emma Roberts!
"Oliver, Richard is an idiot. I like voluptuous women." From the side view of the restaurant, the Hoover family and the girl are sitting on the left and right sides of the picture frame. Grandpa is talking. Everyone is angry after hearing this. The girl turned a page of the book, raised her coffee cup and took a sip, seeming to straighten her brows.
The audience outside the screen chuckled, and Oliver on the screen was a little surprised: "Mom, why is everyone so uneasy?"
"I'm not uneasy, dear, I just want you to understand that it doesn't matter whether you are slim or fat, as long as you are willing to do so, it is fine no matter what."
Cheryl¡¯s gentle words were a reminder. Richard continued without giving up: "Okay, butOliver, let me ask you something. Those Miss Americas, are they thin or fat? Those champions, are they like?" Oliver's voice became smaller and smaller. "I think they are all very thin"
"Yes, I think they don't eat ice cream very much, right?" In a close-up shot of one person, Richard showed a smile of success.
At this time, the waitress came to serve the meal, then left and walked to the opposite table to pay the bill. Oliver kept staring at the plate of ice cream hesitantly, and finally said: "Do any of you want my ice cream?" Cheryl closed her eyes helplessly, and Richard looked happy in victory.
This is wrong, it is destroying the innocence of children! Parents can't help but feel nervous.
In the front mid-shot of the table opposite, the waitress walks away after paying the bill. In an inserted shot, the girl closes the book in her hand. It turns out to be "Ulysses", which caught the attention of the active audience! She stood up and walked to the opposite table. The whole audience was refreshed.
"Excuse me, I heard your conversation, I'm Emily." Special?The girl's smile is sweet and lovely in the camera lens.
Over-the-shoulder shot, all six people were stunned. Cut back to the close shot, the girl's dimples were exposed, like a warm breeze, and she said to Oliver naturally: "Oliver, others won't know the deliciousness in our hearts when we eat ice cream, but we ourselves know it. I personally think the best ice cream here is chocolate flavored "She smiled at everyone and left, "Goodbye."
The camera moved to film her walking towards the door of the restaurant. At the same time, Oliver said in surprise: "Mom, she eats ice cream too!" The three grandfathers were surprised but agreed. Cheryl smiled and said: "Yes, is this chocolate flavored? "Richard frowned like a fool, wanting to say something.
"Is there any ice cream to eat?" Grandpa said, and Frank said, "Oliver, do you mind if we take a bite?" They all took spoons to scoop up and eat. Oliver said anxiously: "Wait, don't eat them alldon't eat it." !" She chased the others away with a spoon, protected the ice cream plate with her hands, and ate quickly.
Through the glass window behind her, you can see the girl walking from left to right on the street.
"Oliver" Richard was very depressed, and Cheryl glared at him angrily: "Richard!" Grandpa and Frank laughed happily, but he was the only one who remained silent.
There was a chuckle from the audience in the Chinese Theater, and they were also happy for Oliver.
A seemingly ordinary scene actually contains a huge power!
Manola Dargis of the New York Times savored this surprise. The two supporting actors are both highlights, with sharp contrasts in appearance, but they have the same philosophy and are also cheerful people.
"Ulysses", Ice Cream, Girl are multiple comparisons, both with Oliver and with DeWine. They both read books, one reads Nietzsche, the other James Joyce, one is closed and depressed, and the other is cheerful and happy. The girl is actually a role model. The meaning of this scene is really difficult to understand at once.
Literary films will not be as exciting as commercial blockbusters, but they will definitely bring thoughts and insights. To eat ice cream or not to eat ice cream? LMS has already asked this question.
Christie Lemire of the Associated Press was very impressed by Emma Roberts' cameo. In my impression, Emma was a little girl who relied on her family connections to get into some acting roles. I must have relied on her aunt for this cameo, but she did such a good job. , perform sincere emotions! Talking about movies, this "Emily" gets full marks.
¡°Who is that blond girl?¡±, ¡°That girl is very cute.¡±, ¡°She looks a bit like Roberts.¡±, ¡°She is Roberts¡¯ niece Emma!¡±¡
Ordinary viewers were also shocked. Regardless of whether they knew who it was or not, the young people¡¯s eyes lit up! Emma's fans are more likely to feel that "it's worth several times the ticket price", and Wei Mi is not surprised. It's no secret that Viy and Emma have a close relationship. Although the two are said to be ordinary friends, they may have been together before. a paragraph.
The media people have an answer. How to report Emma¡¯s guest appearance in LMS? They have to use words such as "stunning appearance", "talent" and "awesome".
Julia Roberts is grinning widely. She is not a person without appreciation. She knows this scene is absolutely good. The teenage Emma walks onto the screen like this! The best way. The little guy knows his aunt now, right? I¡¯m really looking forward to the official collaboration between Emma and that guy.
As someone who has photographed Emma, ??Gia was very angry! How could he shoot so well? Her Emma and his Emma were like two damn people.
AnnaSophia Robb, Nina Dobrev, Emma Roberts, they all exerted their unique charm in his short films. This is of course not a coincidence. That guy is good at photographing girls! Gia had a guess. If her Aunt Sophia had met Ye Wei when she was young, would she have become a charming actress?
"The photo taken of me is really good, no worse than 'Maggie', haha." The blond girl was delighted.

The first loser, Volkswagen Bus!
After the restaurant scene on the big screen, something unexpected happened. The bus broke down and could not start. Then when they arrived at the car repair shop, the middle-aged maintenance man told them that the clutch was broken. This kind of old car was out of stock and it would take a long time to order. But there was a way to start without a clutch, which was to push the car.
The audience watched with great interest. Amidst the light and comical soundtrack, there were bursts of joyful laughter in the screening room!
On the road next to the maintenance yard, Richard was driving, and everyone including the maintenance staff was pushing behind the bus. The whole family was busy and shouting.
"Oliver, dad, get in the car, Cheryl!" Richard shouted urgently. Grandpa jumped on the open side door. Oliver and Cheryl also chased after him. The car was getting faster and faster, and DeWine reached the door. But Frank couldn't catch up, so he ran back and pushed Frank into the car first, and then jumped into the car.
??Everyone in the car cheered, Frank was out of breath, and Devine closed the door.
"No one is left behind, no one is left behind. That's great, soldiers!" Frank, who was breathing smoothly, shouted happily and saluted DeWine with a military salute: "That's great." Single close-up, DeWine is a bit He smiled sheepishly. This was the first time he laughed in a movie.
"Is it fun?" Grandpa asked Olive with a smile. She smiled and nodded, and Grandpa also smiled: "It's really fun."
The whole family worked together to push the cart, which made the audience a little excited. The family audience loved this even more, and laughed with cheers. This is awesome!
But the conflict in the Hoover family was not resolved. In the next driving scene, Richard and Frank quarreled.
Richard talked about the nine-step rule of success, and how Stan, a noble man, could help him take off, first publishing a book, then promoting it, then starting a company, producing audio and video products, and giving lectures He was dreaming excitedly, but Frank was a bit tone-deaf. Joking, I think he is too brainy.
This made Richard very angry, saying that Frank was a typical loser, and the two quarreled. Cheryl kept calling for it to stop. Except for Oliver who was listening to the music, everyone was gradually laughing. Richard, who was laughing, turned cold and said, "You guys keep laughing. One of the rules of success is that successful people don't care about others' ridicule."
At this time, his cell phone rang, it was Stan¡¯s call! He was anxious, but there was no signal.
The audience couldn't help but be anxious for him. In the scene, Richard called Stan from a gas station phone booth, with an excited and expectant smile on his face, "Hey, Stan! I'm Richard, yes, yes no Question, how are things going with us?" His smile quickly condensedit was obviously not good news.
Under the scene editing, at the same time, everyone else was having activities. Frank was going to the convenience store to buy some food, and his grandfather asked him to buy some pornographic magazines.
"Frank?"
Just inside the convenience store, Frank and his ex-boyfriend Josh met unexpectedly.
According to the script, Josh is an "extremely handsome young man". The audience likes the actor Josh, who is handsome enough and gay enough. Not many people know that that guy¡¯s name is Channing Tatum.
The second loser, Frank!
Although there was constant laughter in the 3116 screening rooms, Frank on the screen was not comfortable. Josh and his current boyfriend, Frank's nemesis Ryder, won the academic award and were heading to a private beach villa for vacation. Frank was fired, dumped, and committed suicide. The most embarrassing thing was that the salesperson handed him several pornographic magazines. They are all magazines read by straight men
The saddest thing was that after Josh went out, he and Ryder were sitting in a Jaguar convertible sports car. The two of them looked at the convenience store and laughed and talked about something. Behind the glass window, Frank hid sideways to prevent them from seeing him, his silent face showing sadness.
"Oh, he is so pitiful." Many viewers think so, especially female viewers. Homosexuals and heterosexuals alike are pitiful if they love someone who does not love themselves.
But the incident is not just that.
The third loser, Richard!
His dream was shattered, and Stan gave him only bad news. When he walked back to the bus with a sullen face, Cheryl asked nervously, "How are things?" The couple quarreled, and Richard said solemnly, "We didn't get a damn thing. This is our current situation."
"I can't believe I heard such a result. Didn't you try to negotiate?" Cheryl was very disappointed. The pressure she endured was beyond what she could bear. She thought her husband was starting to have a promising future. Everything will get better, but the result is
Richard couldn't help but yell angrily: "Of course I've tried! I've tried everything. Of course I've tried. Do you think I!?" When he saw Oliver, he suppressed his anger and forced himself to calm down. He said: "Let's go, okay? Let's get out of here." Cheryl was still staring at him. He didn't want to look at her, and suddenly yelled: "Let's go!"
The expectations of his family, the financial pressure on his family, his own values, his own dreams, everything was over. Richard Hoover was a loser.
The atmosphere in the screening room also became a little depressed, but then Oliver was forgotten and dropped, and was picked up again. The bitter humor eased the atmosphere. The film is still like this, not depressing, and any negative movie-viewing emotions will be alleviated immediately, maintaining the state of literary comedy.
There was another driving scene on the screen, and Grandpa once again showed his warmth.
He bent over and walked from the back row, squatted behind the front row, and said comfortingly: "Listen, no matter what happens, at least you have tried your best, which is beyond what most people can do, including This requires courage, including people like me. You always seize opportunities.??Proud of you. "
"Okay, Dad, thank you." Richard pretended not to care, pretending to be free and easy. But the grandfather did not leave. He patted his son on the shoulder, took his son's hand to shake it, and sighed softly: "Richard, it's okay." Richard reluctantly said: "Thank you, Dad"
At this moment, most of the audience did not know that this was actually one of the mentor's last words.
The sad soundtrack that played still made the atmosphere gradually decrease, and there was no laughter for a while. The audience watched silently as the Hoover family checked into the motel, and then the voiceover of Richard and Cheryl made a lot of noise, lying on the bed in the next room. Devine laughed as he listened, it was weird, gloating, mocking
The whole scene is in the room of Oliver and Grandpa. There is no quarrel heard here. They are doing weird actions that look like playing and training.
"Haha." Outside the screen, in the front row of the Chinese Theater, Alan Arkin laughed. Boy, I listened to you.
