Chapter 128 The Disadvantage Is Too Handsome
Eve was attracted by Robert's words. Originally, she didn't pay much attention to the hero movie "The Bourne", but Mary in the book is not a decoration and a vase, but Jason Bourne's lover and a His important partner on the way to escape, so the importance soared.
"Could it be that the purpose of the movie is to weaken the role of the girlfriend in order to enhance the aura of the protagonist?" A vague idea came to her mind. If this is the case, everything makes sense!
Now she doesn't know what stage the film preparations are in, and she doesn't know what the specific plans of the director, producer, and screenwriter are.If the other party is determined to need a vase heroine, no matter what preparations Eve makes, it won't help.
Suddenly, Eve got up from the lawn suddenly, and she was going to buy a copy of "Bourne's Identity" as a bedtime reading, to see if she could get a little inspiration from the original book, so as to send an email to the director Doug .
Anyway, the information downloaded by the alumni association has everyone's detailed contact information. The only thing I should worry about is how to convince the director.
It is a lucky thing to send an e-mail to the past, and it is very likely to lie in the trash.
In fact, she didn't have much hope. Right now, she has too many film projects to be shot. If Spielberg's untitled new film is not to start shooting next year, the overall schedule will not be able to be arranged.
If it was set according to the vase heroine of "The Bourne Shadow" in the original time and space, then she would not be willing to prepare so long in advance, and at most prepare before calling the heroine for an audition.
But now that she knows that Mary is an important character who combines both beauty and wisdom, reason and emotion, Eve is looking forward to it. She wants to see such a non-vase in a realist spy movie. What the character will experience.
Since the director and screenwriter want to distinguish Jason Bourne from other legendary agents, why not make changes in the heroine?It is difficult to set up a heroine with a oil bottle, except for the protagonist to save the beauty, it is difficult to make any contribution to the plot.
Perhaps people are tired of seeing useless heroines who purely add to the protagonist's confusion in spy movies, and there is an unusual female character that will make the audience shine.
The heroines are not all delicate, they can have outstanding abilities and can be the protagonist's help.Obviously, the role of Mary can be a counterattack and subversion of female stereotypes in spy spy movies. Why should she be conservative?
With such doubts, Eve came to the only comprehensive bookstore on the campus of USC—the Troy Bookstore. The school logo of USC is a statue of Troy, and the students call themselves Trojans.
This bookstore is huge, with four floors, and there are many teachers and students coming in and out.
The first floor is basically the works published by the school professors, as well as reference books for various courses, recommended reading materials, and some extracurricular reading materials, while the second floor is like a place selling school souvenirs.
Eve searched around on the first floor but couldn't find the work she wanted, so she had to ask the staff for help.Over there, a staff member with the USC logo was standing on a ladder to arrange the books on the top shelf, which seemed to be some thick and heavy tomes.
She came to the side of the ladder, raised her head and asked, "Excuse me, can I bother you? Is there a copy of "Bourne's Identity" in the bookstore?"
After the little brother on the ladder stuffed the books in his hand into the bookshelf, he quickly walked down the ladder. He looked at Eve in amazement. This is definitely the most honest girl he has ever seen!
He didn't finish the work here, so he volunteered and said: "Yes, this series is very popular, but if it is not here, come with me."
"Thank you, you're such a nice guy."
Eve didn't think much about it, and thought that this little brother was warm-hearted and willing to help others by nature.
Under his leadership, the book that was placed at the bottom appeared in front of Eve. Here are some popular best-selling books, and almost everyone who has bought books for a long time knows it.
"It's rare to see a girl buy this book. By the way, you look familiar. Have we met before?" The younger brother is really not trying to strike up a conversation, he really thinks Eve looks more and more familiar.
Eve shrugged, "Maybe I've met it before, I just graduated from here last year."
Suddenly, the little brother covered his mouth, his eyes widened, "OMG, are you Eve? That actor Eve?"
"Yes, you caught me."
"God, a friend and I are still talking about your love story with Keanu today, it's so romantic! You are the pride of USC, and I am very happy that you can come back to campus."
Eve showed a helpless expression. She actually got to know herself through gossip. It seems that these gossips have certain benefits, at least increasing her popularity among ordinary people.
"I hope it can really become the pride of the school. Thank you again for your help."
The little brother turned his head quickly, staring at the book in her hand and said, "Are you going to act in a movie adapted from this book? I should also watch it. This is a great spy."
In his opinion, when an actor suddenly buys a best-selling book, besides really liking it, maybe it is for the purpose of adapting it.
Not trying to lie, Eve joked, "There's probably a whole Pacific Ocean between me and that character."
"Don't say that, you are obviously a beautiful woman with great acting skills and a high reputation. If you can act in this movie, I will definitely go to the cinema to support you!"
"I hope so, next time if I need to buy a book, I will still find you."
"No problem, my name is Edward, you can just find me when the time comes, and I can give you a [-]% discount on the employee price!"
Eve waved at this talkative little brother, and headed towards the cashier in front.
The price is okay, not expensive. The expensive ones are the textbooks and exam books, which cost hundreds of dollars.
After coming out of the Troy bookstore, she slowly walked to the parking lot. At this time, the luxury cars in the parking lot had basically left, and it looked extremely empty.
……
"It's been a tiring day, I hope I made a good impression on the alumni."
Eve lay weakly on the sofa, exhausted mentally, as if all her strength had been drained.
Keanu, who had just finished practicing martial arts, also had the same expression. He didn't know how much sweat flowed today. The sportswear on his body became wet and dry, and was soaked in sweat after drying for a while, showing white salt stains.
"Don't worry so much, they will definitely like you, you are so cute." Keanu reached out and touched her finger, and said with a smile: "What we should worry about is the shooting situation tomorrow. I hope the shooting goes well, I will wait for this It's been a long time."
Tomorrow, "Almost Famous" will finally be filming the plot related to Penny Lane and Rothall. Since it is a night scene, it is only necessary to arrive at the set at [-] p.m. to put on makeup and change costumes.
To be honest, the tension in Keanu's heart at this time is no less than the day before the filming of "The Devil's Advocate". At that time, when he knew that he was going to play opposite Al Pacino, he was so nervous that he lost sleep all night.This time it was because he was going to perform with his girlfriend. He felt that he was in the right mood right now, and when he looked at Eve, it was exactly the same as the way Rosol looked at Penny.
Compared with her boyfriend, Eve is much calmer, "Actually, filming is what I like most, and I have long been looking forward to this day coming soon. I would rather film for a whole month than participate in social activities, it is too tiring. Those People's acting skills are much better than ours, we should really let those people to film, the competition will definitely be much fiercer!"
Hearing this, Keanu couldn't help laughing, "That's right, I don't like that kind of occasion either. Although we can't be like them, we just need to be ourselves, so let's find a way to become more famous, Once you're famous, the world revolves around you."
This is a bit direct, and it is only the two of them who say it in private.
After taking a few sips of sports drinks, Keanu gradually regained his energy. He looked at the book in Eve's hands curiously, and asked, "Why did you think of buying this book? I remember reading "Bourne's Identity" in high school. ", "Bourne's Hegemony", "Bourne's Ultimatum", they are very interesting, the intelligence personnel and espionage described by this author are quite attractive, and they can be seen on the rankings every year."
"I remember that your information says that you have obstacles, so your studies in school are not very smooth. Why do you have no obstacles when you read the script and read it?"
Eve turned sideways, staring at her boyfriend, wanting to hear his answer.
"Maybe as time goes by, there will be no obstacles." Keanu flipped through the "Bourne Identity" and said with emotion: "Actually, I have always hoped to play an agent or spy, but I always have no chance. Do you think it's possible for me to be invited to this movie?"
"Honey, your looks are too handsome for an agent. You are very conspicuous and attractive in the crowd. What an agent needs is a low profile."
In fact, Eve also really wants to see Keanu as an agent, and it is estimated that he will be handsome and blind a lot of eyes.
"James Bond and Ethan Hunt are both handsome, accompanied by high-tech weapons and sexy girls. Maybe I will play an agent in the future. Or do you think I can be the next James Bond ?"
This guy likes guns very much, with two fingers together, ring finger and little finger curled up in the palm of his hand, making a pistol motion.
Although both parties know the answer, there are topics for chatting in this way, and there will be no silence.
"If you transfer to British citizenship, you might be able to replace Pierce Brosnan." Eve spread her hands, "As for Jason Bourne, don't even think about it."
Being too handsome turned out to be an obstacle, and the shooting time couldn't be suitable. The second and third parts of "The Matrix" will be filmed together. After this summer, it will take root in Australia for a long time, maybe it will take a whole year to shoot.
Keanu was very emotional, "It would be great if the two of us could collaborate on a spy agent movie. It must be very fun to shoot. By the way, have you played with guns? We should find time to go to the shooting range to play."
"If we can cooperate, I hope I can play the agent instead of waiting to be rescued."
"Sounds very interesting. I want to see what you'll do in an action scene. You must be very chic and handsome!" Keanu imagined Eve's long-legged fight in his head, and the scene seemed a little glamorous.
Eve has not filmed an action scene so far. "Reaper is Coming" is just a female student who escaped from death. The phantom cat in "X-Men" has no possibility of adding drama at all. The rest of "Mulholland Drive" , "The Girl Who Moved the Soul" is also absent, and the upcoming "Almost Famous" also has no action scenes.
"Maybe I should really try it. The flexibility is not bad. Don't just think of me as a weak woman shooting a literary film. I can also be a female warrior and become an action actor."
"It may look cool and stylish in the movie theater, but it takes a long time to prepare before shooting, and it is very easy to get injured during shooting. It is by no means so easy."
Keanu warned his girlfriend that he had suffered enough, so he naturally didn't want his girlfriend to suffer too. Injuries are inevitable when shooting action scenes.
Eve smiled, "Don't worry, I'm just talking. If you want to star in an action movie, you definitely need to train your muscles. I don't have so much free time to go to the gym to train your muscles."
She just wants to broaden her acting style and not be limited to modern dramas.If she can, she also wants to play British or European nobles, or some unusual characters in fantasy worlds, even superheroes.
If you don't open up your acting career when you are young, and then seek transformation when you are successful and famous, it is estimated that the studio and movie fans will find it difficult to accept it.
Just like Cate Blanchett once played the role of the elf queen in "Lord of the Rings", when she announced her role in the Marvel movie Hela, not many fans and the media were worried about it, but were full of expectations.
But Julia Roberts basically focuses on modern women's films. When she played the queen in "Snow White and Sunglasses", it was almost unacceptable to her own fans, let alone ordinary audiences.
"Don't think it's so easy to train muscles, it's very hard." Keanu leaned on the sofa cushions and said with longing: "If no one invites us to act in spy or spy movies in the future, we will find scripts by ourselves. How about investing in filming?"
"Sounds great, but maybe I'll be able to accomplish my goal soon." Eve gestured to the book in her hand, and if she could become a member of the crew of "Bourne Shadow", everything would be solved easily.
