CHAPTER 91, EXCLUSIVE DEBUT -XXIX

The story begins with the murder of a bishop that has caused a sensation in the city.

On the TV news, the successful barrister saw the suspect Allen, who had just been arrested by the police, and the delicate and pale blonde girl was covered in blood and confused, which made Martin. Will was acutely aware that the case was lucrative.

Later, Martin met Allen for the first time in the detention center.

The young murderer had a very deceptive appearance: a slender and weak figure, a beautiful face, and a pair of extremely innocent and uneasy eyes.

With just one glance, she made Martin, a weathered lawyer, subconsciously lower her guard, and her confidence in taking over the case quietly climbed.

"Richard. Kiel is still more suitable for playing a playboy. In the audience, New York Times film critic Vincent . Canby adjusted to a more comfortable position, "Oh, Martin believes Allen is innocent, so what does he get by winning this case, huge fame?" But Josie. Horton looks really pitiful, and she has a sympathetic screen temperament, and this trust drama is convincing. "

Sitting next to him this time was his New York Times colleague A.O. Scott, who, after hearing Vincent Canby's whisper, frowned slightly and said, "Richard. Gere's performance is still so pompous, but those female fans love this style, and fortunately the character is originally very conceited and reasonable. "

"As for Josie. Horton-" A.O. Scott flipped through his memo, "are already actresses who have been nominated for Oscars, and so far there is nothing outstanding, is there a spell for acting awards even nominations?" Or did Paramount edit all the highlights into the patch commercial? "

The Oscar curse, especially the actress Oscar curse who successfully lifted the queen trophy, has always been a topic of conversation and seems to have become a routine.

But in fact, this is also very understandable.

Because winning the Oscar means that the actor performed very well in the previous movie, and the audience naturally had great expectations for the next movie.

But it is very regrettable that Oscar-level role play is unattainable, so generally speaking, winning the role is the pinnacle of an actor's career.

This creates a psychological gap for the audience that her or his next performance is not as expected.

And that's exactly what happened with Josie.

So when Ellen on the big screen first revealed his alter personality, Joey, to people, the seamless switching performance wasn't as stunning as Paramount expected.

"Too much force." A.O. Scott frowned, "Compared to Kevin from 'Very Suspect'. Spacey, Josie. Horton's similar performances feel a little deliberate, she pays too much attention to show-offs. "

Compared with the evaluation of film critics, ordinary fans have mixed feelings for this scene.

"I—of—God!" Kelly covered her little mouth and suppressed the exclamation that almost blurted out, "Sweetheart, did you see it?" She just really made people, well, people..."

"Chills down your spine?" Christine, a good girlfriend sitting next to her, added for her,

Kelly nodded quickly, but her gaze was still reluctant to leave the movie screen being shown, "I even got the cold hair on my arm, and Josie played it well, right?" "

"It's okay." Christine's reaction was not as excited as Kylie's, "The seamless switching of dual personalities is indeed quite eye-catching, but The Hollywood Reporter said that she was the most promising newcomer last year, and she has already won an Oscar, which is her own level of performance, but not very good." "

Kelly couldn't help but turn her head to look at Christine in surprise and asked, "What?" Do you think that's not great? Your standards are too strict, I think it's already great, at least deserve another Oscar nomination! "

Christine would love to tell her friend about her feelings for Josie. Horton's idol filter was too heavy, but he endured it and only said: "Kelly, we can't still evaluate Josie by the standards of a newcomer or idol star, this is her transformation after the Oscar nomination, originally those critics were very optimistic about her previous performances, they will be more stringent than our standards as fans." "

Kelly shrugged and said uncaringly: "You can say whatever you want, anyway, I think she acted very well and met all my expectations for this movie." "

Christine did not continue to argue with Kelly, only said: "After watching it, I now prefer to see how Allen cleared his name in court, but so far, the surprise of this movie is all in the trailer, and there is no reversal like I imagined." "

The film continues to be shown.

In defense attorney Martin. Under Will's planning, when Allen was finally questioned in court, he became another aggressive personality Joey due to threats and irritation, and even attacked the prosecutor in court, causing the judge to immediately adjourn the trial.

At this time both Martin. Will and the prosecutor have sensed that the murder charge against Allen will not be established, and the readmitted Allen has a high chance of being exonerated on the grounds of mental illness.

After private mediation by the judge, the defense lawyer and the prosecutor reached a settlement on the case, and Martin Smith, who had been laid out for a long time. Will finally managed to close the net, not only reconciling with his ex-girlfriend, who is a prosecutor, but also winning this dramatic lawsuit.

However, when the smug barrister finally had time to visit his lucky and poor client, Alan, he realized that his proud victory was under the control of another person from beginning to end-

"Are you okay?" Martin walked into the cell and sat down across from Allen, "Alan? Allan. "

Allen looked confused and only said, "My head hurts." "

Martin asked, "Don't you remember what happened?" "

Eren shook his head honestly and replied, "No, I've lost my memory again. "

"Well, I have some good news for you." Martin said, "They agreed to stop the trial, you will be taken to the hospital, you will be treated and helped." Now, it's a great time for you to be able to get out soon. "

"Wow... It's unbelievable," under Martin's gaze, some joy appeared on Allen's confused face, and his eyebrows crooked to look at Martin, "I don't know how to thank you, Mr. Will." "

Her joy was so careful and sincere that Martin's always cold heart couldn't help but be moved.

Martin comforted her, "It's okay, Alan, that's it." "

Allen's face was gentle, but he emphasized: "You saved my life." "

Martin just smiled reservedly and didn't answer much.

In fact, he did save the lonely and weak girl in front of him, everyone thought she had killed someone, only he believed that she was innocent, and he finally proved her innocence.

Whether as a lawyer or as a man, the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction he received in this case at this time has reached its peak.

"I really should go." Martin stood up.

"When will I see you again?" Eren followed him, and a pair of big blue eyes looked at Martin with hope, as if he was so omnipotent.

"That's up to the judge." Martin said as he prepared to walk outside, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Well, call me if you have something, I'll be there at any time. "

"Mr. Will." Eren suddenly stopped Martin.

"What's going on?" Martin stopped and gave Eren a puzzled look.

"Thank you, Mr. Will." A sweet smile rose on Allen's slender face, and the tip of his tongue gently touched his teeth, "and—please apologize to Miss Rena on my behalf, I wish her neck injury wasn't very serious." "

The lens is here like Martin. Will's eyes were general, giving Allen's face a clear and intuitive frontal close-up.

Alan's whole face revealed a joyful and sweet atmosphere, the corners of her mouth rose to reveal white teeth, and the slightly drooping corners of her eyes were curled up by the smile between her eyebrows, making people feel heartfelt happiness.

A beam of light shone into her blue eyes from the window above the side, giving this blue and her snow-white little face a particularly distinct hue.

Supple and dazzling.

She is really like an angel under the throne of God, and just such an impeccable skin can make countless believers willingly sacrifice.

"I like the role of Allen more than the showy personality switch, or the strong personality Joey." New York Times film critic Vincent . Camby thought of it this way, "Silly Bai Tian is very good to play, but to act not annoyingly, or not too stupid, it is very testing the actor's shaping of the character." "

"Surprisingly, despite Josie. Horton already has such a successful American sweetheart character, and this time there are still some surprises for the performance of Allen's role. "

"It's not important to be beautiful, and neither is youth. Importantly, the role makes her extra vulnerable, and Ellen can be hurt and deserves to be protected – that's what belongs to Josie. Horton's screen charm, she always so easily aroused people's sympathy. "

"It's not enough, though. Still, at least for Oscar nominees, it's not enough. "

Martin in the movie once again felt a soft heart for Allen's cowardice, and he was in a better mood at the thought that the beautiful girl in front of him was about to break free from the cage and welcome a new life, full of the euphoria of an occasionally less utilitarian victory.

Seems to be the next best person and feel good?

At least Allen's visible gratitude made Martin very useful.

"Okay." He patted Ellen on the shoulder and turned to walk outside.

Martin holds his head high.

His straight shoulders and brisk steps were stained with the pride and conceit brought about by victory, and at this moment he seemed to be so omnipotent, not only to further his fame through this case, but also to save such a delicate and innocent girl.

He seems to have become a compassionate and omnipotent God.

Oh, this is a particularly subtle irony of his past unscrupulousness, and it can be said that after he first chose the profession of lawyer, the sense of needlessly destroyed morality rekindled.

Martin smiled, a rare bit of lightness in his heart.

The lens gives him a medium shot here.

The tall man's shoulders were relaxed, and there was a calm smile on his mature and elegant face, which looked particularly attractive, as if nothing in this world could beat him.

The bright incandescent light of the prison shines on Martin. Will's face illuminated every expression on his face, and at the moment he was so proud that even the sound of his footsteps sounded very dashing.

However, at this moment, his steps suddenly stopped.

The pure face that belonged to Eren flashed through his mind, and his ears seemed to echo her soft voice that was both humble and apologetic, like a demon passing by the whisper of the world-

'No, I've lost my memory again. '

And—please apologize to Miss Rainer on my behalf, I wish her neck injury wasn't terribly serious." '
