Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

Chapter 446 Moving (1)

However, even if Roland had already made up his mind, he would not tell Kevin Fitch straightforwardly that it would be better to wait.

More than ten years later, the fact that "Black Panther" will cut 1.3 billion box office around the world has to be discovered by himself slowly, and what Roland can emphasize now is that the only standard for single-player movies is to serve the main line.

Of course, he will not discourage Kevin Fitch's enthusiasm.

After expressing that the Black Panther appeared a little early, and that the Fantastic Four could actually be brought out alone, and he was willing to invest in it, he changed the subject and asked Kevin Feige to keep the plot of Cyclops interrogating Storm.

In this way, they can judge whether Storm's solo movie should be approved based on the audience's feedback after the film is released. If the response of "Wolverine", "Magneto" and "Phoenix Girl" is good, then Can continue to develop "Storm", and then pull out "X-Men 3", otherwise, directly kill "Storm", and cut into the main line cleanly.

And when Kevin Fitch heard Roland's thoughts, he felt that he was not sure, so he decisively accepted Roland's guidance, but when Roland sent Kevin Fitch away and turned back to the house, he kept nestling in the Kate, who was basking in the sun in the sun room, lazily rolled her eyelids and said, "Is that why you don't like female superhero movies?"

Since they met at the beginning of 1995, the two have been hand in hand for eight years. When Roland pouted his **** and Kate knew what kind of fart her husband was going to fart, how could she fail to hear the meaning contained in her husband's arrangement? Do you mean to refuse?

If you look at it from the perspective of Kevin Fitch, Roland, as the boss, is considering the company's performance.

But in Kate’s eyes, her husband is clearly saying:

‘Let’s not talk about "Storm", which has nothing to do with the main storyline, even "Phoenix Girl", which is related to the main storyline, I don’t like it! '

Although it would make people feel a sense of exposure without any secrets if one's own thoughts were uttered by others, but for Roland, it was more a manifestation of mutual understanding, and he happily kissed his wife on the face. For a moment, however... Before he could express his joy in words, Kate pushed him away with a look of disgust.

Not only that, she also said in a nasal voice: "Don't make trouble!"

This response made Roland shrug with regret.

Unable to make a successful raid, he raised his hand and turned off his wife's Walkman, took out the "LetGo" CD inside, and in the eyes of his wife who wanted to eat him, he put on his favorite "Fantasy+Plus" before saying: "Because of trouble."

"Trouble?" Kate frowned at the ambiguous answer.

While she was showing her doubts, words of explanation came out of Roland's mouth.

"Yes, it's trouble...

Who is the audience for superhero movies?

This kind of violent comics were drawn for boys from the very beginning!

And in this case, what is the original significance of the female superhero role?

Isn't that just to arouse the boy's interest?

If not, why did the editor give those female superheroes all kinds of characteristics that are easy to imagine? And why did the artist design the appearance of the female superhero so exposed?

Isn't this an eyeball economy, stimulating boys to take the initiative to pay!

It is exactly the same as Marilyn Monroe's wall calendar!

But if we follow this line of thinking, go to prostitution for men, and fully embody the word selling meat, then the female audience or the female group will have to jump out and say that this is the fruitful objectification of women. ?

And if you shoot according to the current idea of ​​serving women, then the only thing that can attract women on the screen for female superheroes is to fall in love, but isn’t this kind of thing really a chick movie?

While embracing the female audience, it also dumped all the manga fans.

so…

This kind of thing is not easy to shoot at all. "

Roland told the truth.

Because that’s the paradox of female superhero movies.

If you want women to accept it, you can only shoot according to the routine of "Twilight".

But the problem is, even the hero of "Twilight" publicly complained about the nausea of ​​the tetralogy!

In this case, how to protect the basic market?

And if you want to be accepted by men, you have to follow the routine of "Wonder Woman".

but…

Warner has disclosed the gender ratio of the audience for this movie.

Men overwhelm women with more than 70% of the proportion, making it an unpopular series for women.

And James Cameron also publicly sprayed this movie, calling it a pseudo-feminist.

In this case, you will definitely be scolded.

Since he can’t make any money, he will be criticized by the audience, and it will still affect the planning of the reunion, so Roland...

Isn't it just that I don't like "Phoenix Girl" and "Storm Girl"!

But when Kate went around this corner, Get understood the meaning of her husband's words, and felt that it made sense, but she didn't show her approval, but asked instead: "You mean...women are very trouble?"

‘Aha? '

Just finished speaking, he took out a piece of watermelon from the fruit plate, and Roland, who wanted to quench his thirst, was suddenly stunned.

Because he didn't know why his wife suddenly asked.

But when he noticed that his wife kept looking at the Walkman beside him from the corner of her eye, Roland realized that he didn't even eat watermelon, turned on the Walkman, and broke Jay Chou's "Fantasy+Plus" Come down, put on Avril Lavigne's "LetGo", and then with a smile, deny: "No...no...women are not troublesome at all..."

In such a situation, Kate raised her eyebrows in satisfaction.

Honestly, she doesn't really care what her husband thinks of female superhero movies.

Because that thirty-three-inch belly is all she cares about.

Caressing her growing belly, feeling the oncoming sea breeze, looking at her husband who changed the CD and then gnawing watermelon desperately, Kate lying under the sun umbrella, felt that life is really beautiful.

Lifted her little foot, leaned closer to her husband, spread her thumb, and clamped her husband's calf with a slam.

The sudden pain caused Roland to move his stool.

But before he was far away from his wife for a few seconds, the little feet came over again and clamped his trouser legs unceremoniously.

In this situation, Roland, who was afraid that his wife would fall to the ground because of moving his body, raised his head.

Looking at the other party's eyes, full of helplessness.

"Can you let me finish eating?"

"Hey hey hey~" Such words made Kate show a sly smile.

While she retracted her feet, Roland also moved the stool back to its original position.

But before he could take a few more bites of the watermelon in his arms, a tender white foot rested on his thigh again.

Not only that, but he stomped again and again.

The unorganized movement made Roland sigh. He was used to all of this, and he didn't care about his wife's little movements anymore. Like a storm, he stuffed all the fruits left by his wife into his stomach.

And when he burped and wiped his mouth with a wet tissue with a satisfied face.

As soon as I turned my head, I found that the troublemaker nestled on the recliner had fallen asleep.

Bowed his head and swept, but the foot that was on his lap couldn't be retracted.

In such a situation, Roland picked up the books on the coffee table and read them one by one.

It wasn't until midnight, when the seagulls returned to their nests, that the sound of flapping pulled Kate up from her deep sleep.

"what time is it?"

Kate, who was sleepy, rubbed her eyes.

"Six o'clock."

Roland, who had already closed the book due to poor lighting, glanced at his watch.

Hearing her husband's answer, Kate, who realized that her feet had been resting on the other's lap, woke up.

"How many hours did I sleep?"

"Three soon..." Roland estimated.

"Then it looks like you're going to be tormented by me again at night." During the three-hour nap time, Kate had already thought about what happened to her husband at night, and while she retracted her thigh, she asked with a smile, "Are your feet numb?" ?”

However, what Roland gave was an irrelevant answer, "I'm urgent to pee..."

"Urgent urination? Then go quickly~" Her husband's answer did not surprise Kate, and while the voice of concern sounded, she also said: "Wash your hands clean, I will eat your cooking tonight."

"Hey." Roland nodded in response, feeling nothing wrong at all.

Trot into the toilet, comfortably into the kitchen, put on an apron, and pick up a kitchen knife.

After a bang and bang, the world returned to peace.

This is actually a microcosm of the lives of the two of them in the past two months.

Due to the first four months of pregnancy, Kate's belly has not yet grown up, so the two can still run around.

One will go fishing today, and the other will go shopping tomorrow. Life is enjoyable.

But as the pregnancy progressed, Kate, who felt that she didn't look good in any clothes, was too lazy to move as her belly got bigger day by day. She stayed at home every day, living a life like a house girl.

When there are no guests, the life is at their own disposal. They sleep until they wake up naturally in the morning, go for a walk after breakfast, read a book in the sun in the afternoon, and digest food after dinner. The day passes like this.

If, like today, when guests come...

Then Kate will play upstairs alone, and only get tired of being with her again after her husband finishes his work.

As for dessert making?

Sorry, no more.

Of course, it's not that she's lazy.

Mainly because Roland was afraid that she would get hurt.

Although she has repeatedly emphasized that kneading dough and making cream are all technical tasks, and baking requires only setting the time and waiting on the sidelines, but Roland is still afraid that she will get tired from standing, so he is determined not to do it. Let her into the kitchen.

This kind of meticulous care is indeed what Kate wants, but after a long time, Roland won't let her do this, and the control that won't let her do it will also make her feel bored, so why...

The teasing before has become her first choice to relieve boredom.

Whenever Roland is made helpless by her, she will be very happy.

Because this can make her feel that her husband is giving way to herself.

However, whenever Roland found out that Kate liked to base his happiness on his pain, he felt very helpless.

What made him even more helpless was that that brat Elizabeth didn't come to the house.

Before, when Kate and Roland made desserts, that guy came to eat every day, but since the oven was turned off, the little guy who felt that he couldn't mix food and drink and had to be educated left, and would rather stay at home than Willing to save Roland.

Yes, although Roland felt that this guy who lied to eat and drink to get angry with him was really a bit of a beating, but after she disappeared, Roland realized that the existence of this guy could really help him reduce a lot of burden.

Not working or being obedient is her advantage, because in this way, Roland can let his wife take care of her.

When a pregnant woman with a big belly came up in front of Elizabeth, the little brat who was worried would not dare to make a fuss, and after the pregnant woman who would only make a fuss in front of Roland left Roland, Roland would be clean.

This is simply the savior, isn't it!

But unfortunately, this guy disappeared.

However, even if the kid ran away, Roland would not regret it, because the castle on top of Beverly Hills was finally built.

As soon as he moves in, won't the Olsen couple who want to have grandchildren have to move in together?

And when the Olsen couple have moved in, can Elizabeth still run away?

At that time, as long as she acts like a monster, Roland can let Kate help manage it.

And as long as Kate takes care of it, wouldn't he be able to relax for a few hours?

Simply perfect!

Of course, before that, Kate’s consent must be obtained for moving.

So, during dinner, Roland told the other party the good news.

And when Kate learned that the project she had mentioned casually before marriage had been officially completed, she was so excited that she hid the table with the end of her fork, staring like a copper bell but full of hope. Looking directly at Roland, the words full of expectation blurted out, "It's already built? It's only been three years!"

The suddenly high-pitched voice broke the silence in the room.

If there is no roof blocking it, it is estimated that it would have rushed to the sky and caused a crash.

Although Roland doesn't understand why his wife struggles with time, he knows that pregnant women should not be excited, "Kate, don't get too excited, when David called me, he asked me to go to the scene to monitor , I will call you first.

He is afraid that after you hear the news of the completion of the project, your emotions will fluctuate greatly, which will cause some physical problems.

So... If you feel uncomfortable now, I will be beaten!

Do you have something to talk about? Don't stare at me, I, I, I'm nervous too..."

When Roland stammered and finished speaking, Kate, who could feel the deep concern, also felt a sudden warmth in her heart.

Although she wanted to say that she was fine, but...

All right.

Compared with the expression on the mouth, the changes in the body are the root of reassuring my husband.

So, before finishing her dinner, she put down the knife and fork directly, took out a tissue and wiped her mouth, and said, "You take me there now, and when I see it, I won't be excited!"

"..."

This response made Roland's head full of black lines.

After taking a serious look at his wife and finding that her words did not seem to be fake, Roland could only nod his head in agreement.

"Okay, let's go now..."

Note: ① Robert Pattinson's complaint about "Twilight" first happened when "Twilight 4" was released. At that time, he said that he hated this movie very much. Then in 2017, when he was interviewed again because of the release of "Good Time", he said that "Twilight" made him fall into the vicious circle of chick movies, and no normal commercial films came to him, all of them were of that kind As long as he has a stern face and an overly aggressive look, he can act in a bad movie. He expressed his helplessness to the behavior of female audiences who like to watch the heroine date with a constipated man and think it is handsome. (The appearance of constipation is the original words. If it is a free translation, in our words, it would be "short words, a paralyzed expression, sharp eyebrows and sharp knives.") ②James Cameron sprayed "Wonder Woman", saying it is patriarchal The product of the dominant Hollywood, Diana Prince is a vase of showing off her figure, not as emotional as Sarah Connor.
