Chapter 110 Bad news?
In the next few days, Eve never went out except to go hiking and climbing with Keanu.
Because there are already many paparazzi outside the community, they don't have the same luck and sense of smell as Carl, so they can only sacrifice the Christmas holiday to take pictures.
The only time she went out was when Eve sneaked out in a small broken car. The paparazzi basically paid attention to luxury cars. Who would have thought that the heroine who was being missed was actually driving a second-hand Ford.
After a few days of fermentation, basically all the information about her has been turned up now, such as graduation photos, SAT scores, theater performance photos, and even her bloodline has been confirmed.
No one would have thought that the girl with blond hair, blue eyes and white skin has Asian blood, and can speak Mandarin fluently, so she can communicate smoothly with some Chinese directors in Hollywood.
Keanu was not at home today, he went to visit his mother and sister, and took away all the paparazzi outside.
It's okay for Eve to be a house girl. In the morning, she studies the script and story of "Almost Famous", and in the afternoon, she reads a little bit of legal provisions to ensure that she doesn't stutter when she speaks those legal terms.
In the past few days, she has deeply experienced what the popularity effect is, and the information related to herself has attracted astonishing attention. Many video stores have sold out DVDs.
And "The Girl Who Moved Soul" continued to expand its screenings. The day before yesterday, the number of theaters in North America officially exceeded [-], and a steady stream of audiences entered the movie theaters.
The total production cost of the film is only 2100 million US dollars, and overseas regions can't wait to introduce it. It will be screened in theaters as soon as possible after Christmas and before New Year's Day. By then, the global box office will inevitably surge.
Although the Golden Globe Awards are only nominated for female supporting roles, the box office surge far exceeds that of other films with multiple nominations, because "The Girl Who Moved Soul" has a free promotion point.
Topping the weekend's box office list is Warner Bros.' "Sunday Challenge," starring Al Pacino and Cameron Diaz, which took in $2500 million from 2360 theaters across the U.S. box office.
"The Talented Ripley" ranked second. After relying on the Golden Globe nomination, it opened strongly. 2300 theaters produced a total of 1800 million US dollars in the weekend box office, with an average single-house box office of 7800 US dollars. It is very eye-catching during Christmas.
Another movie shocked everyone.
"Soul-moving Girl" ranked seventh at the box office last weekend. This week, it ushered in the impact of four new films. Not only did it not fall, but it also skyrocketed to fourth place!
This week, thanks to the exposure of Eve's love affair, the number of theaters showing "The Girl Who Moved Soul" skyrocketed to 1025, and the weekend box office directly came to 9 U.S. dollars. , raising its cumulative box office to $2248 million.
It is worth mentioning that "The Girl Who Moved the Soul" is the only movie with a box office of more than [-] yuan in a single theater this week. After watching the movie, the audience gave positive comments on the Internet. Angelina is nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Supporting Actress, and she deserves it!
It was only the second week of its release, and the box office of "Little Elf Mouse" is only 1181 million US dollars, which is a 27% drop compared to last week. Will it pick up.
The weekend box office of "Toy Story 2", the champion of the past few weeks, just exceeded 6 million US dollars. This is the 1.8th week of its release. The cumulative box office in North America has exceeded 2 million US dollars. There is no pressure to break 2.5 million. The final landing point may be 5 million. Around the same time, the global box office is also targeting [-] million US dollars!
The other few newly released films will be slightly weaker. Although the biographical film "Man on the Moon" starring Jim Carrey helped him nominate Golden Globe Best Actor again, it is clear that the audience did not buy it. Everyone still likes it Look at his nonsensical performance in comedies.
And another sci-fi film "Galaxy Pursuit" assembled big names such as Sam Rockwell, Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, etc. It was originally thought that it could make a difference in 2400 theaters, but it was released. A squib.The box office in the first weekend was only US$700 million. Facing an investment budget of US$4500 million, the pressure to pay back was very high, and it almost declared a loss.
In the forecast for next week, it is generally believed that the two animated films will return to the top three, and the stamina of family carnival films is very strong. After the addition of holidays, it will not only stop the downward trend, but may even reverse the decline.
Everyone is busy before Christmas, some people are busy going home, some people are busy shopping and preparing various things.After Christmas, everyone has time to enjoy the holidays. The Christmas holiday usually lasts from December 12nd to January 22th.
"Genius Ripley" and "Challenge Sunday" have relatively average audience reputation, and the subject matter is relatively limited. It is not a good choice for families with children, couples dating, and friends gathering.
However, any media is somewhat uncertain about the next week's box office data of "The Girl Who Moved Soul", the variables are too big!
First of all, the number of its theaters will continue to skyrocket to more than 2400. Theoretically speaking, the box office will definitely be much higher than this weekend.However, it is not a family movie. It tells the growth process of a girl, which is a bit boring for audiences who like commercial movies.
At the same time, the general public watched this film purely for curiosity, wanting to see what Keanu's girlfriend looks like. I don't know how long this effect will last. After all, Eve is just a supporting role, not the protagonist.
Therefore, I can only give a conservative figure, predicting that the box office will reach 1500 million US dollars next week, a slight increase compared to this week.
This made Eve relax a little bit, at least "Soul Shifting Girl" is gradually recovering the cost and will not lose money.Only in this way can he have an undefeated golden body, and save the second film he starred in from being a box office failure, which is not very good for newcomers.
Not only is the box office rising momentum, but the 1999 annual rental report released by Blockbuster made the couple Eve and Keanu start to shine.
In the ranking of the rental list, "The Matrix" took the lead and won the first place strongly.
And "Death is Coming" starring Eve will be released on Halloween, and DVDs and other discs will be released in November. It has only been 11 months, and it has already entered the 2th place on the list. Recently, it has even received more inquiries. Many people wanted to rent this movie to watch it, but they asked all of Blockbuster's outlets, and none of them still had it in stock!
According to the development of this momentum, maybe in 2000, these two films will still be high on the list.Unlike movie releases, DVD rental is a long-term development process, and word-of-mouth and mutual recommendations are key.
Even Netflix seized this small opportunity, quickly put into production after receiving orders online, and released more than [-] copies of "Reaper" DVDs to the rental market!
As the saying goes, a small boat is easy to turn around, and Blockbuster is too big, and the rental cost of adding a movie on a global scale is very high, and it coincides with the Christmas holiday, so it is not sensitive enough in this regard.
Netflix is much smarter here. They not only rent discs, but also sell them. Customers place orders and pay online first, and then properly produce and mail them.
Consumers can buy and rent discs without leaving home. Netflix took advantage of this time to develop rapidly.
The happiest film company is none other than Columbia Pictures. They really didn't expect that they would become the biggest winners!
"The Girl Who Moved Soul" is the movie they produced, and the box office of the movie shot up like a rocket.And the attention of the next movie "Almost Famous" has soared to become the most anticipated movie in 2000, because Keanu Reeves will play opposite Eve, and the two completed this movie quietly. The contract has not been exposed until now.
Before the filming started, countless viewers and film critics were curious about what kind of sparks the two rivals would collide with.If it is released, the box office will really be a worry!
Now they are considering one thing, whether to help Eve with the Oscar nomination public relations.The deadline for voting for Oscar nominations is January 1th, and there are still many judges who have not sent out their ballots, which means there is a possibility of public relations.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has two rounds of mailing ballots when it selects the Oscars. The first time is to select five nominees from the vast sea of films, and the second time is to select the winners from the five nominees.
The Screen Actors Guild Awards announced the nominations before Christmas. This award is the most important award after the Golden Globes and before the Oscars, including movies and TV dramas.
Actors who are eligible to vote for the Oscars are basically members of the trade union, so the vane function is very strong. Basically, actors who win the Screen Actors Guild Award can win the Oscar statuette in the end.
There have only been one or two accidents since it was awarded in 1995.All actors who want to compete in the Olympics must get nominations and even trophies in the Screen Actors Union.
The Screen Actors Guild Awards are also the most star-studded awards ceremony, because all movie and TV stars are present, there will be no behind-the-scenes workers, and those who can appear on the red carpet and podium are well-known.
Every year, there are five options for Best Actor and Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Ensemble Performance. The Best Stand-In Group Performance was added after the 21st century.
At this year's Screen Actors Guild Awards, "The Girl Who Moved Soul" saved a little bit of face with the best ensemble nomination, not only the wonderful performances of Angelina Jolie and Eve, but also the performance of the leading actress Winona. It's above the standard, but not top-notch enough to be nominated for an Oscar.
In addition, the dean Valerie played by Whoopi Goldberg doesn't have much appearance time, but her acting skills are always online, showing the demeanor of a black lady in the 90s.Jared Leto, Elisabeth Moss, Keri Duval and many old actors performed extremely well, and even the extras who played mental patients were extremely vivid.
"The Girl Who Moved Soul" deservedly received the nomination for Best Ensemble Performance, and no one will have any opinions at all.
Its competitors are all extremely powerful. "American Beauty" has nominated the best actor, best actress and supporting actor, and Kevin Spacey has led the awards season all the way, and has almost never missed an award.
The most suspenseful awards at this year's Oscars are Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress. Kevin and Jolie have already killed each other!
And counting, Eve has basically collected all three weathervane nominations: Golden Globe Award nomination, Screen Actors Guild nomination, and British Oscar nomination, which is really only one step away from Otti!
Although Columbia Pictures knows that Angelina Jolie has swept all the way, if Eve splits the votes at the last minute, it will be a failure.
This time, I can only wrong Eve, and next time when "Almost Famous" competes in the Olympics, I will naturally support this film with all my strength.
As for the role of Rosol played by Keanu Reeves, the producers didn't expect too much at all, they just wanted to play in their true colors and not drag the crew back. They didn't expect to have any outstanding performance in the awards season.
Keanu was asked to play the guitarist for commercial considerations. Who can expect an actor who has been described by film critics as facial paralysis for a long time to suddenly become enlightened?
They didn't expect Keanu to attach great importance to this role. They just practiced guitar for several months, and even hired professional performance instructors. At the same time, Eve played the role of Penny, who was entangled with him, and they would definitely join in. Play, maybe it can bring a huge surprise!
……
Although Eve really wants to say that she does not rely on Keanu's fame and wants to be self-reliant, but this kind of influence exists objectively, and she cannot get rid of it at all.But now she has thought very clearly that two people rely on each other when they are together, and the most terrible thing is to be intoxicated under this influence and not think about making progress.
The dresses that were originally needed to attend the Golden Globes, Saturn Awards, and Oscars have been delivered from major brands, but after the relationship was exposed, each brand wanted to be the one worn by Eve and Keanu when they first appeared. skirt.
Any fool knows that if this couple appeared together on the red carpet, they would definitely be the ones that were reprinted the most by the media that night.
Therefore, Chanel, Givenchy, Versace, Valentino, CK, Gaultier, Dior, Alexander McQueen, Ralph Lauren, LV and other brands have directly contacted caa to put the new season's show clothes in front of Eve, unless It must have been chosen by other actresses, otherwise let her choose!
Not only clothing brands, but also various jewelers and watchmakers have sent over exquisite albums. Tiffany, Bulgari, TAG Heuer, Chopard, Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Harry Wins Dayton has everything.
Even cosmetics, high-heeled shoes, and handbags are piled up in a whole dressing room.
Eve is now stuck in a difficult choice, staring at so many dresses in a daze, she doesn't know which one to choose, and she doesn't even have so much time to try one by one.
She should still be on vacation, but Robert directly snatched her out of the house and began to prepare for the three major award ceremonies in the next year.
"The Golden Globes should be bright and charming, the Oscars should be dignified and elegant, and the Saturn Awards should be a little casual, preferably with a sense of design."
The stylist suggested that she had already chosen a dress for Eve, but now she had to overturn it and start over, because the choice is wider, and the media's eyes will become particularly picky.
She didn't want Eve to stand next to Keanu like a Cinderella, she had to be turned into a noble princess, and Keanu into a prince or knight.
Eve looked at these clothes seriously, she turned her head and said to the stylist: "Helen, when you choose clothes, don't choose my current appearance, I will go to Sassoon Hair Salon to get hair extensions, when It will be long golden hair like seaweed."
Helen nodded, carefully picked up a long silver fishtail dress from the hanger, and asked, "What do you think of this one? It looks very suitable for you."
This mermaid dress belongs to the series of high slits and tube tops. The clavicle, shoulders, neck and butterfly bones on the back can all be displayed. If you think the neck is too monotonous, you can just borrow a beautiful cut from the jewelry brand. matching diamond necklaces!
It's not that Hollywood actresses can't afford dresses, borrowing the dresses of the current season or even the new season is the experience of their status in the fashion industry.Just like some celebrities regularly borrow high-end clothing from a certain brand, some celebrities will be favored by various brands and let her choose freely.
If you can’t even borrow the new products of the current season, it’s better to choose clothes from independent designers and cutting-edge designers. You must not wear the high-end clothing of the season or the dresses worn by others, it is definitely out of date!
Eve originally chose Versace's clothing, and wanted to establish a good relationship with this brand. It will be more convenient to borrow clothing in the future, and there may even be a deeper cooperation.
Now that there are more choices, Versace's clothing will appear less prominent, just like the dress just came from Elle Saab.
However, these clothes are very expensive, and they dare not take them casually. The representatives of the brand are watching eagerly outside. If they are damaged or dirty, they will probably be blacklisted by the brand.
After trying on several different dresses, she, the stylist and the agent finally decided on three dresses, and kept two as spares, in case there is a problem with these dresses and needs to be temporarily rescued.
When Keanu drove her home, Eve felt that she might not want to go shopping again in a short time. She was already dazzled by the selection of clothes. If possible, she wanted to collect every skirt, but that was not at all. possible.
Now that we have entered the 21st century, there are far fewer paparazzi lurking outside the Melrose community. The relationship between Eve and Keanu has gradually cooled down after so many days of fermentation, and there is not much report value.
In addition, Keanu gave up riding a motorcycle, and there were fewer times when he was caught by the paparazzi, and he could gradually return to normal.
"How are you doing today?" Eve asked curiously. Today is the first day of the new year and the new century, and there are many celebrations in downtown Los Angeles.
Keanu put both sides on the steering wheel, turned his head to look at his girlfriend, and sighed, "Just like you, I was forced by Evan to choose a few suits. Obviously I look similar, but there are so many differences."
They didn't deliberately choose couple outfits, but chose them separately, because the male star's red carpet is really lacking, and they almost all rely on their own appearance.
"I think you look handsome in a suit." Eve praised, and then issued a restraining order to her boyfriend: "The filming will start soon, and you have seriously affected my progress in preparing the film. I was right."
"Why? I think the more I play against you, the more I understand the role of Russell."
Keanu was very puzzled. Could it be that his acting skills are not good enough?
Eve said angrily: "Every time we played each other for less than half an hour, the two of us were on the bed. Do you remember the few complete scenes we rehearsed?"
She paused, and replied, "No!"
As soon as this matter is mentioned, Eve gets angry. Eve memorizes the lines fluently. When rehearsing with Keanu, she always interrupts inexplicably. The male sex misleads others. Eve plans to change her mind and become a good actor.
"I swear, this time I will definitely rehearse seriously."
"Okay, can I talk to you about this matter after I answer this call?" Eve turned out the phone from the small handbag, and David Lynch's phone was particularly conspicuous on it.
Keanu made a zipper gesture, indicating that he closed his mouth and never opened his mouth, but his ears were listening to the movement of his girlfriend.
After Eve answered the phone, she quickly said, "Happy New Year, Mr. Lynch!"
Who knew that David Lynch on the other end of the phone couldn't be happy at all, and he didn't even know how to speak.
Just when Eve thought the other party accidentally pressed the phone and called unexpectedly, David Lynch said in embarrassment: "I'm sorry to inform you of this on the first day of the new year. Such a time."
"What's the matter?" Eve started to mention it in her heart, and she said silently that the TV series must not be renewed, it must not be renewed!
These days, she is afraid that this will happen. What if ABC TV decides to book a whole season of "Mulholland Drive" because of the high popularity of her relationship with Keanu after the exposure of her relationship with Keanu? Then she really wanted to cry but had no tears.
David's tone didn't sound like he was booked, because the word sorry was used, which proved that an accident must have happened.
"I sent the pilot episode to ABC TV before Christmas, but they felt that the plot development of the story was a bit slow, the narrative rhythm was too procrastinated, and an episode of four to five 10 minutes was difficult to fit into the traditional TV time slot. David Lynch sat by the phone, took a breath of brandy on the table with his hand, and said with a wry smile: "Although I made some changes based on their opinions, you still failed to save this TV series." "
A dazzling smile appeared on Eve's face, and at the same time, she kept telling herself in her heart not to be overjoyed, but to remain calm, and it would not be too late to celebrate after hanging up the phone.
"You mean we didn't get an ABC booking for this show?"
Although there was a smile on his face, Eve's tone was a little low and disappointed. This made Keanu who was driving a little confused. His girlfriend was showing signs of being smart, who should he turn to for help?
"You guessed it, they are really unwilling to book this TV series. In fact, they think that if this TV series is filmed, the evaluation may be good, but the ratings and cost are big problems."
David was really depressed. After so many years in Hollywood, when he had already achieved fame, this kind of thing happened to him. If he said it, he would be ridiculed by entertainment gossip magazines.
This year, the film "Mr. Strait's Story" directed by him is still in the final sprint of the awards season. Unsworth has already been nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Drama Best Actor and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actor, and is only one step away from being nominated for an Oscar.
It stands to reason that he is well-known in the film industry. Putting aside the film director's contempt for the TV drama industry, he devoted himself to the TV drama industry, but the TV drama failed to get an order, which is unacceptable.
"I'm sorry to have taken you so long, I'm sorry to have left such an excellent performance of yours in the dust, if possible, I hope I can make up for your salary, can you?"
The main actors such as Eve, Laura, and Justin all starred in the pilot episode with zero pay. They were supposed to wait for the TV series to be booked, and the pay would be paid. Now that ABC TV has canceled the project, their hard work will be in vain. .
"David, I'm sure this is a very good story." Eve finally found a chance, she organized her words and began to persuade: "Since ABC thinks this is not suitable for filming as a TV series, why not turn this story into a movie How about turning it into a feature film?"
This was Eve's plan. Anyway, sooner or later, David Lynch would think of the TV series turning into a movie, and he just accelerated the process.
To be honest, her expectation for "Mulholland Drive" is to make it into a movie, and now she finally sees a little light.
David Lynch, who was drinking, put down his glass directly and asked, "What did you say? Turn "Mulholland Drive" into a movie?"
"Yeah, why not? Our story is perfect for the big screen."
"Yeah, why not!" David Lynch suddenly came alive, he didn't want to waste such a good story, "but what should we do next, there are too many difficulties, just investing is a big problem , and all the shots taken before were for TV sets, and the ratio of the film was different.”
It happened that when they were filming, they followed the requirements of the movie. The actors' performances, photography, lighting, sets, and exterior and interior scenes were all impeccable. It was precisely because of this that they directly spent 600 million US dollars without even paying the actors.
Investment is indeed a big problem, but Eve has already thought up a rhetoric, just for this moment: "Actually, ABC TV station doesn't want to lose money, right? If they don't want to continue investing, then the 600 million US dollars will be lost. If they are willing to continue to invest, or if the rest of the company is willing to invest, it is still possible to revive this movie and turn losses into gains."
"The worst result is that ABC TV station does not invest, but we can find other film companies to invest, and then share the copyright with ABC. Without them paying a penny, we may turn a loss of 600 million US dollars into a profitable state. This kind of No one is willing to refuse a good thing, right?"
David Lynch can actually figure out this truth after a while, but now after listening to Eve's words, he suddenly realized, and praised repeatedly: "You really helped me a lot, if "Mulholland Drive" can really Save me, then I would like to add your name to the list of producers. Thank you, I will contact ABC TV right now."
"This is one of my favorite scripts, it's an honor to help you!"
