[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 118 Public appearance

The two-day script reading session ended in the reluctance of the actors. Director Cameron obviously swallowed several boxes of throat lozenges, but he still couldn't resist the excessive use of his voice, and his voice became hoarse.

During the trial reading, I found some problems, and the actors’ questions were also answered. Eve’s control and familiarity with the role of Petunia Lane is a little bit higher. Keanu is on the road to playing Rosol It's getting smoother and smoother.

Patrick, an amateur boy who has never acted before, made the most significant progress. He controlled his nervousness and anxiety, and played the image of a young reporter who strayed into the rock circle very well.

The crew of "Almost Famous" started filming today, filming Christmas in the Los Angeles area in the 60s and the story of the Miller family.

The rest of the temporarily irrelevant actors are temporarily on vacation for a few days. Eve and Keanu need to wait for one-fifth of the filming of the story before joining the group. They are currently doing makeup and changing costumes in their respective hair salons, preparing to attend the evening together Saturn Awards Ceremony.

On the Beverly Hills side, Eve was pinned on a chair by the makeup artist and couldn't move. She closed her eyes slightly and asked, "How is Mandy's daughter? How is the recovery from surgery?"

"I contacted her today, and the operation was successful, but she still needs to be taken care of there for two days before she can come back." Robert had to take a temporary guest job as an assistant from his agent, anyway, Eve also served as an assistant before becoming famous.

"It's good that the operation is successful." Eve opened her eyes and looked in the mirror. The eye shadow she chose looked natural, without any exaggeration.

"I communicated with Evan that the red carpet of the Saturn Awards will end at 6 o'clock in the west. This is to take care of the audience in the east. Considering the time difference, it can't start too late, otherwise the ratings will be greatly affected. .You and Keanu will be on the red carpet at 5:50, so we're running out of time."

"There should be quite a lot of stars attending this time, right? I hope I can get one of my two nominations."

Although Eve advertises herself as an acting star, there are actually only a few nominations. With "The Girl Who Moved Soul", she got a lot of nominations during the awards season, but she didn't have a single trophy!

She is still a polished commander at this time, not to mention how embarrassing she is.

And in the No.20 Sixth Saturn Awards to be announced tonight, Eve won two nominations for Best Actress and Best New Actor for "Death Comes". Any award is very intense, no more than the awards season easy.

The Saturn Award is a competition of three types of commercial films: science fiction, fantasy and horror, so the attention is actually very high, because the nominated films and film actors are well-known, and they are more popular with the public than literary films, so CBS (Columbia Broadcaster) will broadcast the ceremony live during prime time to audiences across North America.

Of course, the attention of the Saturn Awards is incomparable to that of the Golden Globes, Grammys, and Oscars. The number of viewers generally fluctuates around 1000 million each year, depending on the films nominated and the actors attending that year.

This year can be regarded as a great year for the Saturn Awards. Sci-fi, fantasy, and horror all have their own genres of popular films released, and there are more than one.

For example, science fiction is supported by works such as "The Matrix", "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Crisis", and "Dimensional Hackers". ", "Tarzan of the Apes", "Toy Story 2" and so on, although the public does not know why there are three cartoons in this fantasy category, but these three films are masterpieces with hundreds of millions of dollars in the global box office!

In action-adventure movies, Tom Hanks' "Green Miracle", Mel Gibson's "Dangerous Man", Matt Damon's "The Talented Ripley", Pierce Brosnan's "007 Black Sun" "Crisis", these works and actors are well-known!

Among the horror movies that are most closely related to Eve, "The Sixth Sense" is the best, "The Blair Witch" is eager to try, "Sleepy Hollow" is well-received, and "Death Comes" is a dark horse.

There is a possibility of upset in any award, rather than a stable situation. Everyone can guess the winning works, which is really boring.Suspense is the key to the ratings of the award show, and the suspense must be kept at the last moment to be revealed.

Neither Robert nor Evan Stoff conducted public relations for the Saturn Awards. Firstly, the cost is not directly proportional to the benefits, and secondly, it is unnecessary.

These commercial film actors actually don't care whether the actor wins or not, only whether the audience likes it or not.Most of the films have been released for many days, and there is no need for public relations awards to improve the box office.

It is purely a social activity. When the focus of the awards season is on the actors of literary and artistic films, the actors of commercial films are not idle either. Exposure and appearance are essential.

In addition, many films will also choose to play trailers or announce posters, announce the release time, etc. during the Saturn Awards, which can be regarded as a small publicity.

At this year's Saturn Awards, the much-anticipated comic film "X-Men" will release its posters. Obviously, the film still has its final tail to be filmed. For the sake of the popularity of the summer release, we will not miss any chance now.

New Line Cinema's horror film "Invasion of Brain Cells" has been promoted for a long time, and it bought commercial time to play the trailer.

Eve has no new project to promote for the time being, just to attend the event, by the way, make a public appearance with Keanu, officially respond to the rumors, and tell the rest of the world that these two are not single anymore.

It took more than an hour to put on the makeup, and the hairstyle didn't change it except to make it more fluffy, stretchy, and shiny. Eve doesn't want to sit for another six hours to get the hair extensions, it must be well protected!

"Okay, Keanu's side has already set off and is expected to arrive at our side in 10 minutes. Let's wait a little longer." Robert put down his phone and said, Eve in front of him looked very beautiful, and she was young and invincible in her 20s. When it was time, a long silver dress gave off a noble and elegant feeling.

The diamond necklace on her neck is like a scarf, so heavy and shining that she can hardly lower her head, and can only look straight ahead. This set of jewelry is dazzling under the lights and is worth millions of dollars!

For the first public appearance, both Eve and Keanu attached great importance to it, showing a [-]-point attitude.

Not long after, Robert's cell phone rang, and he called Eve to hurry out from the main entrance of the hairdressing salon. A black Lincoln had just parked on the road over there.

The back seat of the car door was opened from the inside, and Keanu came out wearing a neat black suit. The first time he saw Eve, he was amazed, "You will definitely be the most beautiful person on the red carpet today!"

"In order to look good, I didn't even eat lunch, and now I'm so hungry that I could swallow a cow." Eve said exaggeratedly, how can a female star have a small belly in a skirt!

"Then how about we go for supper after the award ceremony?" Keanu suggested while bending over to help Eve lift her skirt to get on the car, "There's a very good burger restaurant over there in Beverly Hills. , 24 hours fresh supply."

Eve bent down and got into the car, she replied, "I'll just order a kid-sized hamburger, and I can't eat too much at night."

Keanu leaned close to her ear, and said in a low and seductive voice: "Don't worry, I will exercise and digest with you, and you will have energy when you are full."

"Get in the car, let's not be late, it will be a bit miserable to miss the red carpet." Eve urged, she likes to see Keanu wearing a suit or military uniform, he looks upright and awe-inspiring , completely different from the one on the bed, the contrast is very strong.

The back seat of this car has a lot of space, and Keanu's long legs don't feel cramped at all, but he just keeps the black leather shoes from touching Eve's piled skirt.

The award ceremony was held at the foot of Beverly Hills, and it only took a few minutes to go down, and the time was completely in time.

There were crazy fans on both sides of the red carpet, some were waving the head of Johnny Depp, some were wearing the same black trench coat and sunglasses as the Matrix actor Neo, and some were holding posters of Star Wars prequels, screaming There were exclamations one after another.

Maybe it's because of the narrowness of the enemy's road. Johnny Depp was preceded by Matt Damon. Both of them appeared later on purpose.

At this time, Depp has not yet become a captain. He wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses, plus a mustache on his lips, and his suit is a bit loose and casual, and he looks very artistic.

Just as Depp was about to leave the red carpet here, he heard the audience and the reporter turn their heads in unison. His name was originally called in their mouths, but now it has become another one.

"Keanu!"

"Wow! Look this way!"

"Is that his girlfriend?"

"beautiful!"

"I love you, will you marry me?"

Anyway, Depp is also a first-line star, and he was robbed of attention before he stepped off the red carpet.He was actually a bit of a gossip. Although he hadn't contacted Keanu for a long time, it was the first time he saw Keanu take his girlfriend on the red carpet for so long. Of course, he had to watch.

The reporters have almost gone crazy. They have been guessing this way before, because Eve and Keanu were both shortlisted for the Saturn Award for Best Actor and Actress respectively.

Red carpet time is almost over, Eve hasn't shown up, Keanu hasn't shown up yet, and everyone is waiting for the duo to make their public debuts!

Keanu was the first to get out of the car. He pulled Eve out of the car in a gentlemanly manner, and blocked the door frame of the car roof with his hands, fearing that Eve would hit her head accidentally.

Eve has never seen such an enthusiastic posture. On the red carpets she participated in before, only a few people cheered for her. Now the reporters are all pointing their cameras at themselves, and the fans on both sides of the railing have already held their hands. Stretched to the farthest, wanting to get close to them.

Keanu has been waiting for this day for a long time. He took his girlfriend's left hand with his right hand, interlocked his fingers, and walked slowly towards the center of the red carpet with firm steps and a happy smile on his face.

And Eve next to him looks radiant. The silver off-the-shoulder long dress on her body shows off her figure, and her golden curly hair hangs on her shoulders. She is not afraid of various close-up shots at all, and her appearance and temperament are quite good!

With red lips and fair hair, diamonds on her body shine brightly in the setting sun. She walks, pauses and poses in a very good posture, bringing her elegance to the extreme.

The woman is delicate and beautiful, and the man is tall and handsome. Standing together, they stand in perfect harmony, and the pictures in the same frame are as beautiful as a picture.

"Keanu, I love you!"

"Eve, you are the best!"

"You must be happy!"

"Will there be a sequel to The Matrix?"

"You guys look so pretty!"

The audience was hoarse, and the reporters didn't have any time to talk nonsense. They kept pressing the shutter with their fingers to capture the picture of the two holding hands.

When the two stood in the center of the red carpet, Keanu even willingly acted as a green leaf and moved two steps to the side so that the reporters could take a single photo of his girlfriend. There was a trace of love in his eyes.

Eve quickly walked forward after changing a few angles. She clearly knew that these reporters and fans only took pictures of her for Keanu's face. When she can attract so much attention, she must It will keep the reporters filming non-stop.

The floor-length skirt limited her speed, Keanu took Eve's hand again, and the two waved at the reporters and the screaming audience before entering the venue.

"It's crazy!" Eve repeatedly sighed, "When will I have so many fans like you?"

Keanu replied seriously: "Just wait until you actually star in a commercial blockbuster."

"It may have to wait for the time being, the schedule is not enough."

There are actually a lot of people in the venue, because apart from the actors, the Saturn Awards also include behind-the-scenes awards for directors, producers, costume designers, makeup artists, special effects production, etc.

After seeing the director whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Eve said to her boyfriend, "I'll go say hello to James, see you later."

"I'm going to say hello to Andy and Larry too."

The positions of the two were not with the crew, but sitting in the first row in the middle.The first few rows are for nominated actors, one is for the convenience of accepting the award on stage, and the other is for the convenience of capturing more stars during the TV broadcast.

At this time, Huang Yiyu seemed to be full of spring breeze. He leaned over and hugged Eve, "You look more and more beautiful, I hope you will have good luck tonight."

"You too, I hope our movie doesn't go home empty-handed."

"I have already asked the Oscar judges I know to vote for you. I hope you can get your first Aoti in your life." Huang Yiyu has only recently become famous, and his network is relatively limited. It is not easy to actively solicit votes.

Eve was very moved. She said, "Thank you, you are so kind. By the way, I heard that New Line Films is preparing "Reaper 2". Why did the director change?"

"Reaper 2" has already been approved, but the director and screenwriter have all been changed, and even the protagonist of the first part just let himself play soy sauce.

"Don't worry." Huang Yiyu comforted: "I voluntarily gave up the position of director. I don't want to make a sequel, so I am developing a science fiction film with Revolutionary Film Studio, called "The One". I have already discussed with Jet Li. He Will come to play the male lead."

Aspiring directors are reluctant to keep shooting sequels of the same movie. Huang Yiyu's "Reaper" debut film won a global box office of 2300 million US dollars at a cost of 1.5 million US dollars.

Therefore, there are naturally people scrambling to invest in the sequel, and there is no need to stay in the new line to shoot low-budget horror films.

"Jet Li? It sounds very good. If it is released, you must let me know. I really want to see this movie as soon as possible!" Eve was very excited. Now Jet Li is very famous in Hollywood and is known as a disc The king of the market, although the box office of starring or starring roles is not particularly high, but the income of the disc market is often several times the box office income, and the appeal is amazing.

"Of course, the invitation letter will be sent to you in advance." Huang Yiyu agreed, and Eve is already a star, so it is naturally very welcome to be able to add starlight to the film's premiere.

While the two were talking, Devon Sawa came over with a strange expression on his face. He never thought that the girl who filmed a movie with him and others would have skyrocketed and become a famous actress.

"Good evening, you seem to have grown a lot taller suddenly." Eve greeted familiarly.

Devon stroked his hair and said with a smile: "Maybe it's because I've been exercising recently. I haven't congratulated you yet on being nominated for the Golden Globe Award. That's a great honor."

Keanu was clearly chatting with the heroine of "The Matrix" Carrie-Ann Moss, but his eyes were on Eve from time to time. When he saw his girlfriend chatting happily with a handsome young man, he felt a little jealous in his heart taste.

"Hey, what are you guys talking about?" He walked up to Eve and asked casually.

Eve naturally took her boyfriend's arm and jokingly said, "Devon is telling me how terrible the winter in Canada is. It just so happens that you are also Canadian. Maybe you two have something in common."

After she turned her head to look at the actors here, she felt very regretful. If only she had a mobile phone, she could take selfies with so many actors whose names she knew.

Devon looked at Keanu with some embarrassment, and after saying hello, he didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, the organizer of the awards ceremony rescued them from the situation of staring at each other. The awards ceremony will start to be broadcast live across the United States soon, and everyone needs to return to their positions.

After Eve waved goodbye to Huang Yiyu and Dai Wen, she went to the front row with Keanu and sat down. This is really the treatment of top stars.

To her left is "The Mummy" actress Rachel Weisz, and to her left is Johnny Depp.To Keanu's right is Bruce Willis, the bald-headed action superstar who starred in a rare non-action film that exploded at the global box office.

This is the first time she has participated in an awards ceremony in Hollywood. She is more curious about everything, and she suppresses this curiosity deep in her heart, and she looks impeccable on the outside.

"Who do you think we will win the award later?" Keanu asked in a low voice. Both of them have been nominated. If possible, he would be willing to exchange his nomination for Eve's award. promise.

Eve shook her head, "It's really hard to guess, anyway, my chances of winning the award are very low, and I haven't even prepared my acceptance speech."

"What if you win an award?" Keanu said jokingly, "Why don't you think about it now, or you'll be dazed when you stand on the podium, and everything will go blank."

"I don't think it's necessary, how about you, are you ready?"

"I'm not ready either."

"Then let's adapt accordingly." Eve patted the back of her boyfriend's hand, with an expression of resignation, but she didn't know that her words were a prophecy, and she really needed to act on the spot!
