Chapter 152 Oscar
Eve didn't know that the director and the screenwriter had a conversation about herself after she left.
She has a very peaceful mind now, and she doesn't mean that she has to take this role. She just thinks that "Bourne Shadow" is a good movie, but if the heroine is better, it will make that movie more classic.
This can be regarded as forming a good relationship, chatting with your seniors, and developing contacts.
If "The Bourne" did not choose her, then there is no loss, anyway, the original book accompanied her through many boring days and nights.
She drove from the cafe towards the city center. She had agreed with Keanu to come here for lunch, and now it was just the time.
"Excuse me, is there a seat reserved by Mr. Charles?" Eve asked outside this Spanish restaurant.
"Yes, please come with me."
After checking the reservation record, the waiter showed a smiling face, and did not neglect Eve's face without makeup.
The restaurant is not too crowded for lunch, and the most crowded time is in the evening.
The place was reserved by Keanu. His middle name is Charles. If he doesn't want to be too conspicuous, he usually uses this name to do business, because it is too common.
The media and others only know him as Keanu Reeves, and his middle name is usually kept a secret.
When Eve came in, she found that her boyfriend was already sitting inside!
They clearly said to meet at 12 o'clock, but both of them showed up before 11:[-], which is considered a tacit understanding.
Keanu originally wanted to get up and help Eve drag the chair, but the waiter finished this step first, so he turned to the waiter and said, "We can start preparing the dishes here."
"Okay, I'll tell the kitchen right now." The waiter took out the white wine and started to sober up. The two arrived too early and didn't have time to prepare in advance.
Eve thanked the waiter, and then asked curiously, "Did your rehearsal end so soon? I thought it would take a long time."
"In fact, each of us doesn't have many lines. Unlike the awards ceremony where the winners give their speeches or have videos played, we basically go on stage after getting our own introductions. We have rehearsed twice this morning, basically There won't be any problems."
Keanu knew that his girlfriend hadn't participated in the Oscars, so he chose some interesting things to say.
The award presenters are basically excellent actors or directors, and with the help of a teleprompter, everyone can finish the lines handed to them by the academy fluently.
Regardless of whether it is a single award or a double award, the small talk and award speeches are not created by the actors themselves, but are written by specially hired screenwriters based on the identities, statuses, and awards of the guests.
Eve kindly reminded: "Don't take the wrong envelope, or you will award this award to other winners."
If there is an Oscar oolong, it will really leave a name in film history, and it will be revealed every year.
Keanu didn't care at all, "All the envelopes with the winners can only be obtained before going on stage, how will we know whether we have taken the wrong one or not."
"Then who are the award presenters today?" Eve took a sip of lemonade, "I hope that in the future, I can not only win awards, but also serve as award presenters."
"There are so many, Steven Spielberg, who you are familiar with, presented the director award, Gwen and Roberto presented the best actor and actress respectively, and Mr. Clint Eastwood awarded the best actor alone. In addition, Kevin Spacey, Mel Gibson, Brad Pitt, Jack Nicholson, Tommy Lee Jones, etc. have appeared. Although Winona is not an award presenter, she will Come out and introduce the Best Picture nominee, The Cider House Rules."
These names are well-known throughout Hollywood, and Eve doesn't know when she will be able to put them together.
Now it seems that the gap is really obvious. My film career is too short, and it is too difficult to quickly increase the thickness of my works, popularity, and status.
Of course, there is another situation that can also make it to the Oscars, and that is to promote the upcoming movie. The major Hollywood studios and agencies have enough ability to get stars to increase exposure.
Just like this time, Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and Lucy Liu were able to present the best costume design award because Columbia Pictures launched them to promote the upcoming "Charlie's Angels".
This year is already 2000. Although all the film awards in 1999 were awarded, the turn of the century is very rare, and there are various tributes and retrospective activities.
Many elderly actors from the golden age will attend the awards ceremony to review the history of film development with the entire audience.
It was the first time for her to participate in such a grand event of the film industry, so it was very fresh, and she could meet many well-known filmmakers for a long time.
Keanu looked at his girlfriend's appearance, and asked curiously: "It's obviously a long time before the appointment with us, why do you seem to be in a panic when you go out?"
Eve usually wears makeup when she goes out, even if it's just skin care products sometimes, otherwise the media may spread rumors that she is sick or has something to do with drugs.
She sighed, and began to pour bitter water: "Mr. Doug Liman replied to my email last night, asking me to meet him at the coffee shop at 10:30 this morning to talk about "Bourne Shadow". As a result, I I woke up at ten o'clock and saw the content of the email, so I could only quickly pack myself up and go out in a hurry."
"How was the chat? I really want to see you in an action movie, but shooting an action movie is too hard and tiring." Keanu himself started from an action movie, and it was very tiring to repeat it over and over again. avoid.
Although feature films are hard work, at least they won't get hurt or bruised.
Eve pursed her mouth, "There should be no results, and he is a little uncertain. The heroine of the vase has always existed, and there is no risk. If the heroine is too beautiful and smart, she will definitely be very eye-catching, and it is easy to make the hero charming. reduce."
"Any male actor should not be afraid of his female partner stealing his attention, only incompetent actors and directors would think so. You see in The Matrix, Trinity is very handsome, but it doesn't affect me, does it?" ?”
"Not every guy thinks the same way you do. They probably think that women are meant to be a foil to men, especially in movies."
Eve is looking forward to the success of "Charlie's Angels", even though it is not her own movie.The three-female action movie should give Hollywood filmmakers a glimpse of what women can do.
They are no longer satisfied with being supporting roles and foils!
In fact, more and more female-led films will emerge only after big heroine action movies like "Charlie's Angels" and "Tomb Raider" succeed.
As an actress who needs film resources, Eve will not curse them to rush to the box office, which is not good for any actress.
The general environment is better, and the talents waiting for me will have a play!
Discrimination against women in Hollywood is very serious. Both actresses and directors are in the process of being discriminated against. On the contrary, the status of female producers is much higher, probably because they are one of the rule makers.
Eve didn't dare to overeat. Tomorrow is the Oscar. If she gets fat, she might not have time to modify her dress.
Now most of the actresses have taken care of their skin in beauty salons, only she is fearless because of her youth.
Attending the Oscars for the first time, I didn't expect to surprise the public.
After all, there are too many female stars of various types in Hollywood, and they will all dress up to attend the event and compete with each other. It is too difficult to achieve an amazing effect, so it is estimated that they will have to use a slanted sword.
Eve is here to learn more, and she is neither an award presenter nor a nominee, so naturally she has to keep a low profile, so as not to be called a blanket star.
After the two finished their lunch, they didn't drive back in a hurry, but planned to stroll around nearby parks or shops.
Obviously I don't want to buy anything, I just want to hold hands for a walk.
"I think you can change the style of your wardrobe, it's too casual, the clothes and shoes are so old!"
Although Keanu's face is handsome and handsome, anyone who knows him well knows that this guy has always been known for being casual, often appearing unkempt, with an unshaven beard, messy hairstyle, and just a few styles of T-shirts and jeans. I just like to wear loose, enlarged version.
The outfit I saw him in Las Vegas last year was simply suffocating. The extremely loose cropped and cropped overalls shorts with a sports top and a jacket over it, the mix-and-match look really looks like a homeless man exactly the same.
Obviously he has a good figure, but the oversized clothes make his 1.8m 1.6 height look like [-]m [-].
The days of being decadent and single are over, now that you have a girlfriend, you should show a sunny and positive outlook on life.
Anyway, Eve made up her mind that she must never see homeless clothes in her home, and she must dress her boyfriend handsomely so that she can look comfortable.
"I like to wear very comfortable tops and trousers, not too tight." Keanu quietly began to protest. It is enough for him to look good in the movie, and it seems that a little looseness in life has nothing to do with decadence.
However, Eve looked at the windbreaker on him and said, "Let's just pursue clean and neat, and it doesn't need to be too tight."
The temperament of celebrities is quite different. Even ordinary clothes can be worn in a high-end luxury state, so Eve didn't forcefully change the material of Keanu's clothes, but just controlled the model.
Clothes and pants that are too big will look sloppy and have no fashion sense at all.
Just like the black sweater and short jacket she let Keanu wear now, it looks very different when paired with his pair of pants, and his figure has returned to 1.8 meters [-] all of a sudden.
Usually Keanu also likes to wear a casual suit jacket, so Eve bought him a separate solid-color T-shirt.
Before they knew it, the two had already carried several shopping bags, bought a lot of clothes, and even leather shoes, casual shoes and sneakers.
Keanu couldn't carry so many things with his hands, but he was very happy in his heart, feeling that the two of them went out on the street like ordinary couples, except for the annoyance of always being recognized and signing autographs.
"Okay, I finally have a part of the basic model." Eve put all the trophies on the back seat of the car, and she has generously given him a wardrobe in her cloakroom. If these clothes are changed, Keanu Definitely going to be a sportsman.
She didn't choose any famous brand clothes, she bought all the brands that are more common in shopping malls. Anyway, neither of them has any clothing endorsements, so even if they were photographed, it wouldn't have any effect.
Keanu has swiped his credit card countless times today, each time the amount is not much, but he bought a lot of things, he patted his forehead: "Is this only a part?"
"Of course, here are all spring and autumn clothes. Don't rush to buy summer clothes for the time being. We will go shopping slowly after our movie is finished."
"Okay, we'll continue when the time comes." Sitting in the co-pilot seat, Keanu suddenly took out a small box from his chest pocket, "I have a gift for you today too."
Eve blinked her eyes, feeling a little excited and scared. If the box contained a diamond ring, would she agree or reject it?
"what gift?"
Keanu said with a smile: "A very beautiful necklace, you will definitely like it."
Eve, who didn't want to get married so soon, finally breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know when Keanu went to buy it secretly. Now she opened the box and saw the blue and transparent necklace inside that instantly attracted her. gaze.
A diamond necklace inlaid with sapphires. More than a dozen natural Sri Lankan sapphires are quite dazzling in the sun, surrounded by a circle of drop-shaped diamonds. Red carpet or some high-end event that requires a dress.
From the diamonds, sapphires and styles, it can be seen that the price is definitely not cheap. Eve didn't dare to ask the price. She didn't pay for anything today, and Keanu paid for the clothes by swiping his card.
After receiving such an expensive gift suddenly, she has already silently pondered whether she should buy a watch that suits his temperament better, and she can't just enjoy it.
"How is it, do you like it?" Keanu looked at Eve without replying for a long time, and felt a little worried, because Eve had said before that the two should not give each other too expensive things.
As a result, today he secretly went to Bulgari's flagship store to take a look while Eve was visiting the clothing store. He not only bought this necklace, but also bought a pair of rings for couples, but now he is more timid and dare not take it out. .
He was worried about frightening his girlfriend. The previous marriage ended in just over ten hours, and he would definitely have concerns about getting married again so soon.
Keanu plans to wait until the relationship between the two of them stabilizes.
Eve took the necklace out of the box and weighed it, jokingly said: "If I usually wear this necklace, I worry that I will be robbed on the road. The color is so beautiful, it's the same color as my eyes!"
"As long as you like it."
Keanu decided to buy it because he saw this light blue gemstone, which is as deep and ethereal as Eve's pupils.
"Thank you, I'll try wearing it when I get home later, it seems a little strange to drive while wearing it now." Eve kissed the back of his hand, and said with respect, "Don't give me such an expensive one next time." Things, otherwise I really can't accept it."
Fortunately, both of them are considered rich, and she can actually afford these things, so she can say such things.
Keanu felt his girlfriend's emotions, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "Understood, there will definitely be no next time!"
After the two put the box away, they drove towards the Melrose community. They had to go to bed and rest early tonight to prepare for tomorrow's awards ceremony.
……
It's only nine o'clock in the morning, but Eve has already left home, because her schedule has already started, female stars are much more troublesome than male stars.
She came to a spa shop in West Hollywood with pure makeup. At this time, there were already several female stars in the shop, but everyone changed into bathrobes and went to the meditation room to relax without saying hello.
In order to prevent her lower abdomen from protruding, Eve can only eat this morning's meal today, and after that, she can't even drink water, let alone eat.It is definitely not a wise choice to go to the bathroom in an elegant and luxurious dress, it is very inconvenient!
While taking a bath, she asked the spa staff to give her a full-body exfoliation treatment. Her dress needs to expose her arms and shoulders, and of course it must be beautiful.
After doing this, a layer of essential oil was applied to her body, and there was even a faint scent of roses.Putting on the bathrobe and lying on the bed, the beautician began to perform a series of beauty procedures such as skin care and moisturizing on her face.
In other words, these are just preliminary preparations!
It has been almost four hours since I arrived at the beauty salon. The makeup artist, hair stylist and Valentino staff that Eve had contacted before came to help her with styling and makeup.
Makeup and hairstyles have been discussed a long time ago, and there is no need to change anything, just follow suit.
When she finally put on this bright yellow dress, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, not far from the start of the red carpet ceremony.
Her fair skin was paired with a bright yellow long dress, and the hair that had been parted earlier was pulled up behind her head, exposing her swan-like neck. The high-heeled sandals made her tall and slender.
Earrings, necklaces, and bracelets are all sponsored by Chopard Jewelry, and this set of jewelry is all about exuding the breath of dollars.
"Wow, you look so beautiful!" Mandy excitedly picked up the Polaroid, and snapped it to Eve.
But that's the serious one, the rest of the photos show her grimacing with all her teeth and claws, which looks extra playful.
"Keanu's side is ready, we are about to go." Robert is also wearing a suit today. Although he cannot enter the venue of the Oscars, he will definitely accompany him outside.
I have to say that male stars really have nothing new in their choice of clothing. Keanu’s suit looks low-key yet elegant, and the mustache on his mouth looks a little charming. A handsome guy looks handsome no matter what he wears, especially in a suit .
He wears a black bow tie on his white shirt, and his temperament tends to be fashionable and extravagant, and he looks like a stable and mature man overall.
"Then let's go, we can't compete with the people nominated for the prime time slot." Keanu bent his arm, and then Eve took advantage of the trend, moving skillfully and naturally.
Before leaving, Eve didn't forget to take pictures as souvenirs. It's a pity that Polaroids cannot be used at the Oscars ceremony, otherwise, she will have to take pictures in front of and behind the stage, so that she can have memories after a few years or more than ten years.
West Hollywood is almost adjacent to Hollywood Boulevard. When they arrived on the red carpet, the sun was still hanging in Los Angeles.
This is to take care of the audience on the east coast and the central region. It is already dark there. If the red carpet is not held soon, they may have fallen asleep by the time the Oscars are presented.
As the top entertainment feast in the United States and even in the world, the Oscars touches the hearts of hundreds of millions of film lovers. Even the live TV broadcast of the Oscars red carpet has more than [-] million viewers worldwide. There are even many netizens who can only wait and see. The media uploaded photos.
"The red carpet is so long!" Eve felt like a country bumpkin entering the city for the first time, and was surprised by everything she saw.
The current red carpet is directly blocking Hollywood Boulevard, and then laying a long red carpet on it.There are already countless celebrities walking slowly on this red carpet. It seems that it will take several minutes to finish walking.
Especially in the media seats on the left side of the red carpet, each media seat is basically only 50 centimeters away, and petite people can play around, and slightly burly and obese people cannot move.
Only the top media can have a media seat here, almost all the top TV stations in other countries, for example, Eve saw the CCTV-6 logo from a distance, as well as the British BBC, Euronews TV, and French TV. TV, German TV, etc.
In fact, the largest number is still the media in the United States, just like the Los Angeles Times directly occupying two media seats, and almost every media is interviewing celebrities.
Whether or not big-name celebrities can stop for interviews depends on the authority of the media and the personal connections of the reporters.
"Let's go, let's go, there will still be so many people behind." Eve really didn't want to stand for too long, the high heels were too high, and at the same time she had to maintain a good posture.
Keanu nodded. The two of them just took a rest in the white tent at the beginning of the red carpet, and asked the stylist to take care of their clothes and hair, especially Eve's skirt was a little wrinkled in the car. You have to get it right before you hit the red carpet.
Hollywood Boulevard is already crowded with people. There are very few media and audience who are qualified to enter the red carpet. Most of them can only watch from a distance.
When Eve and Keanu walked out of the tent, all the audience immediately boiled!
The already noisy voice became more sharp and noisy, and people kept calling their names.
Walking in front of them was the little actor Hayley Joe Osment of "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality". This little guy looked very energetic in a small suit, and he was not timid at all on the red carpet.
In addition, Heather Graham, supermodel Tyra Banks, Spanish actress Penelope Cruz, black actress Quinn Latifah, and handsome actor Edward Norton are all in front.
Eve already felt numb, and she looked around and saw stars.
Yet no one can match her and Keanu, who have already won when the two of them stand on the red carpet.
Eve's bright yellow dress looked like a beam of warm sunshine in California, extremely dazzling.
She took Keanu's hand and gradually walked forward. The cameramen and reporters above the media booth were all crazy. They didn't care about taking pictures of the others, and directly pointed the camera at the two people here.
"Keanu! Any time for an interview?"
"Eve, look this way!"
"beautiful!"
After the two took several photos together, Keanu handed over the stage to his girlfriend. He walked aside and silently watched Eve changing poses under the flashing lights, with a faint sense of pride in his eyes.
After taking photos from a distance, when they passed by the media booth, almost every reporter stretched out their microphones to interview them.
Eve looked at the logos, and she whispered into Keanu's ear, "Which media are we going to be interviewed by?"
"You decide, any one will do."
For the reporters, these two are the most topical couples they have seen so far. If they can be interviewed, they will be of great value!
Anyway, Oscar didn't stipulate the time to stay on the red carpet. If the face is thick enough and the media is willing, then they can accept interviews in turn.
But those who can appear on the Oscar red carpet are basically popular stars, and they are not so eager for exposure.
"Then let's go to the family in China. My parents are working in China. I hope they can see us." Build a good relationship.
She knows that the box office market in mainland China is very broad. If she can impress the audience on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and even gain fans, there will be unexpected gains after the market gradually expands. At least the movies she starred in will be in the mainland. Charge a little more at the box office.
When CCTV-6 reporter Zhou Hongkai saw Eve and Keanu walking towards him, he almost exploded!
He has been on the red carpet for so long today, that is, he only interviewed the award presenter Chow Yun-fat.
"Good afternoon, Ms. Campbell, Mr. Reeves." Zhou Hongkai spoke in standard American English. He was able to conduct an independent interview at Oscar, and his spoken language was absolutely authentic.
Who knew that just after asking the question, Eve replied in standard Mandarin: "Good afternoon, I am very happy to be interviewed."
Immediately afterwards, Keanu also uttered a sentence in plastic Chinese: "Hello!"
Zhou Hongkai was a little confused, he said in surprise: "Wow, you can actually speak Chinese?"
"My Chinese is very good." Eve looked at the reporter after she finished speaking, feeling a little suspicious in her heart. Could it be that he was so frightened that he didn't know what to ask?
"This is really a surprise. The Chinese audience likes you two very much, and everyone wants to know when you will come to China?"
This sentence is true. "The Matrix" was released in the mainland. Although the box office was not particularly high, all kinds of pirated discs were flying all over the place. It translates as "The Matrix".
On the contrary, neither of Eve's two movies was released in the mainland, but because of the subject matter and the director's identity of "Death Comes", its discs are overwhelming.
In addition, the news that Eve said on the talk show that she and Keanu both have Chinese ancestry appeared in various portal websites and TV entertainment news broadcasts. Mainland netizens and movie lovers really like this couple. , just above the aesthetics of East Asia.
"I should go to China this year, because my parents are working there, so I can take a look at the beautiful scenery." Eve didn't say too much. This year, she has a tight schedule, and at most she can go to see it during the Cannes Film Festival. Catherine them.
Keanu had no idea what his girlfriend was talking about with the reporter. He only had an embarrassed but polite smile on his face. He secretly made up his mind that he must learn Chinese when he has free time!
