Chapter 156 You deserve to be famous!
The thumb-thick plastic tube was inserted through the throat, as if it went directly into the stomach. This pain made Eve, who was awake, gradually began to struggle, and a feeling of nausea arose spontaneously.
Two medical staff were invited to pretend to be hotel employees, just to be proficient and correct in operation, otherwise it would be dangerous for laymen to operate.
The cameraman meticulously photographed Eve's current state. Her arm muscles were tense, and she sat on the ground and kicked her feet hard on the ground. After being filled with half a bag of water, she immediately turned her head on the toilet and vomited!
Behind the monitor, Cameron Crowe, Keanu Reeves, Anna Paquin and others all had serious faces. None of them thought that Eve would try it for this shot, rather than casually. Fake vomiting and gastric lavage.
The real scene is very impactful. Patrick, who was playing with her, was completely stunned. The whole person stood in a daze outside the bathroom, watching the staff help Eve to vomit, which invisibly matched the requirements in the script.
Tears flickered in his eyes. He knew that filming was difficult, and he knew that Eve was good at acting and dedicated, but he didn't expect to be willing to sacrifice to this extent, and the respect in his heart continued to rise.
At this time, Eve really has two purposes, taking care of the camera and overcoming the discomfort of gastric lavage, she actually performed a broken and weak beauty!
The cold pure water choked from the esophagus to the trachea. She suddenly felt like she was about to suffocate.
How precious it is to be able to breathe freely, she is unwilling to try gastric lavage again in her life.
Tears flowed, how could it be comfortable with a tube stuck in her throat, professional doctors and nurses firmly fixed her next to the toilet, they don't know what acting is, they only know how to treat a patient.
What life is like a year is about now, Eve is struggling non-stop, holding on to the toilet with both hands, as if trying to break it into pieces.
"Okay, this one is over!"
Cameron's voice trembled a little. The scene just now was too shocking and cruel. He even regretted why he wrote this plot and why he agreed to Eve's filming request.
As soon as the voice fell, Keanu rushed over immediately. He squatted beside Eve in distress, and then watched the doctor slowly put away these tools, while his girlfriend was still vomiting there, and he looked extremely miserable. .
"Clap clap clap"
Every cast member on the scene couldn't help applauding Eve, they were all impressed by Eve's performance and dedication.Obviously she can easily be a vase, but she wants to perform in such a realistic way. Many men who claim to be actors don't have such courage, but she, a delicate girl, has such great courage!
This is by no means a formalism, but I really admire her.
Eve took the towel handed over by Mandy, wiped the corners of her mouth, lay weakly in Keanu's arms, smiled weakly at everyone, and then asked, "Did the scene just pass? Do it again?"
"Passed! You acted very well!" Cameron gave a high thumbs up. He has not worked with other young actresses. I don't know if others can do this. Anyway, there is nothing but shock any other emotions.
"It's good that you don't need to re-shoot. I can't support myself to do it again for the time being." Eve joked that gastric lavage is really a torture.
She now feels that she is closer to the character of Petunia Lane. She wants to record this feeling of weakness and seeing the light again, and she will need to use this feeling and experience when shooting exteriors in New York.
Acting skills are not developed in a day. This suicide by swallowing drugs and being revived represents the rebirth of Petunia Lane. It is not worth it for a man to let Rosol down completely.
Keanu felt extremely uncomfortable. He didn't want Eve to suffer such pain, and he couldn't hide the worry on his face.
He held his girlfriend's palm and said in a low voice, "Don't torture your body like this next time you act."
"Okay, don't worry about it anymore." Eve leaned her head on his shoulder, closed her eyes, and took a rest.
Now she promised so quickly, but when she encounters new script challenges, she may still be willing to try, just like Keanu insisting on acting in some action and martial arts scenes.
Cameron got a perfect shot, but he couldn't be happy, and urged him repeatedly: "You go back and have a good rest, and we will shoot the rest of the scenes first."
Eve is really out of strength right now, and naturally she doesn't want to be brave, "I scared everyone just now, thank you for your encouragement."
Patrick muttered in a low voice: "It's really scary. I can't take medicine to this point in my life."
"It's good to let you feel it in advance. There are many scenes like this in Hollywood." Anna Paquin said cryptically. All kinds of temptations knocked down.
Eve originally wanted to stand up and walk back to the room, but when she tried to stand up, her legs were a little weak, and she couldn't exert all her strength.
Seeing this, Keanu directly hugged her with a princess hug, and then carefully carried her out of the shooting room.Mandy quickly followed, and she helped to press the elevator and open the door.
The embrace of a lover is the current charging station for the human body. A loving hug can bring enough sense of security, making Eve believe that there is someone who can be trusted at the end of the world.
The hotel shooting scenes this time are all in the place where they are staying, so it can be said that the shooting can be completed without leaving home.
Keanu and Eve live in a suite located on the 25th floor of the hotel. Looking out, they can see the sea and the beach, and the scenery is infinite.
At this moment, Eve was lying on the bed a little weakly. She knew that gastric lavage was uncomfortable, but after experiencing it herself, she realized that the degree of discomfort was simply beyond imagination.
"Now that's the point of making a literary film, if you're making an action film, wouldn't it be that you're going to be in the battle yourself?" Keanu was a little angry that she didn't take care of her body, and wished she wasn't so dedicated.
Eve has regained her energy now. She knows how to take advantage of her weak state, and said coquettishly, "You were injured during filming, so why do you still insist on filming? Don't be angry, okay?"
"Now I have serious doubts about what stupid things you did when you were filming "The Girl Who Moved the Soul". Didn't you also learn to cut your wrists to commit suicide?"
Keanu said that because he cared too much about her. Even if Eve chose to borrow a seat to shoot the scene just now, no one would blame her.
"No!" Eve hastily disregarded the relationship and showed her two smooth wrists. It is impossible to commit suicide in this life.
"It's fine if you don't have one. Let's lie down and rest for a while, and eat simple things to replenish our strength later."
Eve pulled the quilt over to cover her body. She had filmed two hard scenes today, and she was indeed a bit weak. She needed to rest, so she replied, "Okay, you can also rest for a while."
Keanu pulled the curtains over so that the sunlight outside would not affect sleep.
When he lay down silently, his girlfriend actually fell asleep in a second and began to breathe evenly.He lined his head with his hand, looking at Eve's somewhat pale face, and with the other hand, he wanted to gently smooth the center of her wrinkled brows, but he was afraid of waking her up, so he hesitated to do it.
Obviously Eve has worked so hard, but there are still comments on the Internet that her popularity has something to do with her, and she became popular because of her own fame.Keanu always gets annoyed whenever he sees such remarks, and it completely kills Eve's efforts.
Even without herself, she would be one of the brightest Hollywood actresses of the year.
Based on her outstanding performance in "Almost Famous", Keanu dares to say that she will definitely be a popular contestant in the awards season.
It can be seen that Eve really likes making movies.
……
She didn't know how long she slept for. When Eve woke up from her sleep, she found that her head was a little dizzy. She didn't know whether it was because of the long sleep or the sequelae of the previous gastric lavage.
She was wearing slippers and stepped on the carpet, feeling almost unsteady. At the same time, the hunger in her stomach kept coming, and she was about to go to the living room to ask Keanu if he wanted to call the room service to bring the dinner.
Who knew that when she opened the bedroom door just now, she saw a group of people sitting in the living room of the suite.
"You finally woke up. We thought you were going to sleep until tomorrow morning." Keanu said with concern, "We've already had dinner. What do you want to eat? I'll call the front desk."
Eve went to the empty seat next to him and sat down, shrugged and said, "Get some less greasy food, I wonder if there is porridge here."
Hotels in the United States may not serve this kind of food, and she doesn't want to eat too much greasy food now.
"Let me ask." Mandy said proactively, she just took this opportunity to leave, not wanting to face Eve's anger.
"Thank you, Mandy. You are so kind!"
Eve squeezed the assistant's hand to express her gratitude.
With a look of shame on Mandy's face, she whispered, "Miss Campbell, Mr. Owen is here, and he has something to tell you."
Eve looked over after hearing the words, and was surprised to find that her manager was sitting on the sofa, looking at him without saying a word.
She smiled and said hello, "Hi Robert, nice to meet you. What are you doing in San Diego this late?"
Robert pulled his hair, and the emotions that had just been brewing disappeared without a trace. As an agent, it was impossible for him to limit the choice of clients, because only star clients could fire him.
"I heard Mandy talk about your filming on the set, so I quickly bought the nearest plane."
Fortunately, the two cities are very close, otherwise it would not be so fast.
"I'm sorry to ask you to come here. It's just a normal choice for filming. Don't worry, there are no similar scenes in this movie."
Robert sighed: "I know you want to be a good actor, but not every scene requires you to restore it intact, otherwise, how can it be called acting? Do you really need to be a schizophrenic patient? Do you want to split several personalities? When you need to have a suffocation or drug-related scene, do you want to try it?"
Many good actors are just like Eve, pursuing the authenticity of the shooting, the purpose is to play a good role and make a good movie, but they are accidentally infected with drugs or psychological problems, thus ruining their acting career.
He would rather Eve not be so dedicated, otherwise he would take risks in order to play some marginal characters and try some dangerous and addictive things.
Such examples abound in Hollywood, and one can be cited at will.
Eve knew that her boyfriend might have the same thought in her heart, but she just didn't say it out, she said solemnly: "I chose to shoot this scene in real mode because it has almost no harm to the body, so it is more realistic to shoot. If it is something dangerous, then I will definitely not try it, and I will choose to perform in a way of imitation."
"It's best to be like that." Robert also knew that Eve was a very assertive person. It was enough to talk about such a topic once, and it would be offensive if it was repeated.
He changed the subject and said, "Actually, I came to you not entirely because of today's filming. There are still several things that need to be decided by you."
"What's the matter?" Eve unscrewed the thermos cup and took a sip of hot water, gradually regaining her strength.
Keanu didn't know whether he should stay here, he stood up and said, "I'll go to the balcony to smoke a cigarette, you guys talk first."
In fact, this person has no addiction to cigarettes at all, and only smokes a pack of cigarettes for several days, purely making excuses.
Unexpectedly, Robert said, "Keanu, this matter is also related to you."
"I?"
Keanu had just stood up, and now he had to sit down again, wondering what kind of medicine the guy opposite him was selling in his gourd.
"Vanity Fair editor-in-chief Tina Brown contacted me today to say that at the Oscar night party you had promised to do an interview with the magazine. She wants to send a reporter to you as soon as possible and is willing to put you on the cover of the magazine .”
Eve nodded, "There is such a thing. I thought she was just being polite, but I didn't expect to find you so soon."
The Oscars just came to an end yesterday, and Vanity Fair must be busy with a series of things, such as looking for interviews with the major winners or taking photos, etc., but the editor-in-chief actually went directly to CAA, which shows how eager Tina is for this story!
"So what do you guys think, do you have time for an interview?" Robert added, "That's Vanity Fair."
"Can you help us delay until March? Then we can interview when the movie is finished and we return to Los Angeles to rest. Now is the most critical time for me to play the role, and I don't want to be distracted by these things."
If the movie was sweet before, now it is glass slag. Eve wants to play a girl who is frustrated in love, which is still difficult for her who is in love.
In life, he mixed with Keanu honey, but in the movie, he stabbed a few times in the heart.
Robert agreed: "March was pretty good. At least there were no Oscars competing with you for attention. Now those winners are the most popular."
"Then it's such a pleasant decision!" Eve smiled, and there are more and more work arrangements, which is a good thing during the rising period.
Keanu basically won't sing against his girlfriend in this regard, so he nodded and agreed.
Robert relaxed a lot at this time, and jokingly said: "There are rumors in the industry that you are very close to Katherine Kennedy and his wife. I am not interested in how you are connected, but I hope you can keep in touch. That woman is not simple. , Not only is she powerful herself, she also has a lot of voice in Amblin Entertainment, DreamWorks, and Lucasfilm, and she also has contacts with various major Hollywood studios."
Eve smiled self-deprecatingly, "I actually met her for the first time last night, how did the rumor that we got so close come out?"
"Maybe it was seen by other people when you were chatting last night. The Vanity Fair party is full of people, and there are no secrets."
"Whether we can cooperate or not is not up to me. It depends on the director Doug's thoughts. If he insists on not wanting me, Catherine may not have conflicts with Doug because of the me I just met."
"That's right, I will keep an eye on him all the time, just waiting for the quiet feedback from Universal."
If the script handed over is the same as Eve suggested, then the probability of her being able to act is very high.If it is still the heroine of the vase, or the background has changed, then Eve's hope is relatively slim.
Robert looked at his watch and said, "I won't bother you anymore. Take a good rest today."
"Maybe I will suffer from insomnia for a while at night." Eve stood up and hugged her manager, "Thank you for coming here."
Robert hugged her back politely, and said with great emotion: "You will definitely become a movie superstar, I swear!"
"I think so."
Eve said a little narcissistically.
Keanu looked at his girlfriend's confident appearance, and encouraged him: "Of course, if you can't become a superstar, I really can't think of anyone who has the potential of a superstar now!"
……
"Good morning, Eve."
"Good morning to you too."
"are you better?"
"It has fully recovered and filming can now begin."
Eve greeted the staff and chatted casually. Now the shooting location of the crew has moved from the hotel to the tent outside.
Keanu had already come to shoot in the morning, and now he has basically completed the shooting of the plot involved.
"Honey, I'm sorry, I lost you to someone else." Keanu gently kissed his girlfriend on the mouth, and now he could clearly distinguish the difference between reality and the movie.
Eve looked at him with disappointed eyes, with a terribly hurt expression, as if looking at a scumbag.
A person like him who suddenly became addicted to drama suddenly met a drama master, and he had no choice but to bow down.
"Eve, you came at the right time. Your filming is very important and determines the tone of our filming." Cameron is now completely relieved of Eve. His understanding is much deeper than his own, presumably the plot in front of him is completely trivial.
After these shootings, he no longer doubts Eve's acting skills, any complex emotions can be shown, with both skills and emotions.
Now he's worried about Keanu and Patrick, whose performances are also important.
One is a scumbag who personally lost his girlfriend to others, and the other is a young man with a sense of justice who witnessed the whole gambling moment. Cameron hopes that Eve can bring these two into the play, that is the acting school higher level.
Now Eve's goal is no longer to perform well on her own, but also to learn how to mobilize the actors in the opposite play to raise the overall acting skills to a higher level.
This is obviously not something that can be done overnight, and many Oscar-winning actors cannot guarantee that each play can bring other actors.
But having a goal is better than knowing nothing!
After chatting with Eve for a few words, Keanu took the initiative to walk away. He needed to brew his emotions, brewing the shame and reluctance that Rosol lost Petunia to others.
Patrick was also forbidden to talk to Eve, and both actors were engaged in self-suggestion and self-hypnosis.
After Eve changed her makeup and costume, the crew also arranged the set.
In the lounge made of tents, Penny and William sat on the same long plastic stool, piles of luggage and boxes were placed at the door, ready to be transported to New York, and the band members and the new manager were chatting together.
At this time, Dick, a member of the band, suddenly opened the curtain of the tent, holding a cake shaped like a diamond, filled with burning candles and sizzle handheld fireworks.
Everyone immediately gathered together, cheered, applauded, and sang the birthday song.
When the cake was placed in front of Petunia, she was both surprised and happy, and she fell into Rosol's arms with a smile.
This group of people deserved to play music, and the happy birthday song they sang was not the one everyone was most familiar with, but another song with a faster tempo, which sounded full of joy, but was actually full of irony.
Penny hugged Rosol, then stood up excitedly and hugged her younger brother William Miller, but William Miller was not happy at all, and the smile on his face was a little stiff.
Petunia, played by Eve, was immersed in the joy of her birthday at this time, and she didn't even notice that William's expression was wrong. She jumped up and down to the table with the cake during the celebration of the members.
Looking at the words on the cake, I couldn't help showing a sincere smile, "Unforgettable Penny, age unknown, Boston, 1973"
She squatted on the ground, closed her eyes, "I'm making a wish!"
After she finished speaking, she tied her fluffy hair together with her hands, lowered her head and blew out the candles. The atmosphere at the scene was very lively.
At this time, Rosol picked up a piece of paper and began to read: "Our friend Petunia is one year older. She became famous a long time ago. She followed rock and roll to the South, and From the shores of the east to the shores of the west..."
When Penny heard her boyfriend's congratulatory speech, she still had a happy smile on her face, and Eve played the girl in love very realistically.While picking up a candle, she gently ate the cream at the bottom, waiting for her boyfriend's next content.
On the other hand, William, who was beside him, was obviously smiling, but his eyes were red, and there was even a feeling of tears.
Patrick is already fully into the drama at this point, and he doesn't want to see Eve and Keanu separated in this way.Rossol obviously lost his girlfriend out, but on the surface, it seemed that nothing had happened, as if Penny had no meaning to this person, it was really a dew-water-love affair.
The more loving Penny and Rosol look, the more ironic and desolate they actually are.
The audience, as bystanders, can understand William's feelings. This little boy has always liked Petunia Lane, but the other party only treats him as a younger brother.
The emotions of the actors are all in place, and the director silently pays attention to everything on the scene, always ready to call cut.
In order to film this scene, the crew prepared ten identical cakes.
Although Eve knew the direction of the script, but as an actor, now that she was Petunia Lane, she actually had a little understanding.
Penny has always known that Rosol has a wife in New York, and the next stop of the tour is New York, and the dream trip always has an end.
She thought that she would be separated from the band members after arriving in New York, and thought that Rosol's love for her was strong enough, otherwise, how could she help her celebrate her birthday and read a congratulatory message publicly.
She happily cut the cake and distributed it to the band members.
Rosol is really watertight, he hides his thoughts very well, and shows his love to Petunia with peace of mind.
Eve handed Keanu a piece of cake, then on a whim, she dipped her fingers in some cream and applied it to Keanu's nose. This improvised action almost made Keanu lose his ability. Without a quick enough reaction, it really can't be done. Play with her.
William Miller, played by Patrick, watched this scene, the tears in his eyes became more obvious, and he sympathized with Penny in his heart.
"Who wants cake?" Petunia said excitedly.
But at this time, the band's new manager, Dennis, came behind her and said, "Happy birthday."
Although Petunia didn't know him very well, she still cut a piece of cake and gave it to him.
Who knew that this guy took the cake and said bluntly: "I'm sorry, our plane is not big enough."
The smile on Eve's face gradually disappeared, and she looked at her boyfriend Rosol, who was silently eating the cake. Keanu, who didn't know when he was wearing sunglasses, had no expression on his face, still chewing and swallowing.
Her hand that was cutting the cake paused for a moment, and then her sweet and crisp laughter covered her heart again, and she turned to look at the band members.
The band members were singing to celebrate, but now they all turned around and left in an instant, not daring to look directly at Penny. The atmosphere at the scene was too embarrassing, leaving her alone on someone else's birthday.
At this time, Petunia already knew what Dennis meant, and she might not be able to fly to New York with them, and Rossore's silence hurt her even more.
At this moment, she couldn't be happier anymore, she looked down and saw that the luggage that had been piled up there was gone, only her suitcase was still beside the tent.
Facing his girlfriend's gaze, Rosol, played by Keanu, began to dodge, even the sunglasses couldn't hide his guilty conscience!
Of all people, only William Miller dared to look her in the eyes, and only those eyes contained sincerity.
"Cut! Take a break for 5 minutes and we'll do it all over again."
Cameron didn't say the reason. He felt that the actors performed well, but they just lacked the feeling of undercurrent.
On the surface there is harmony and everything is going well, but in fact everyone has their own thoughts and knows that the meaning behind this cake may not be a celebration, but a farewell.
Eve stood up from the ground, feeling a little uncomfortable just half squatting.
Keanu originally wanted to reach out to help her, but was pushed away by his girlfriend. She snorted and turned away to find a makeup artist to touch up her makeup.
He never expected that he would be implicated by the characters in the play!
Rossol is a scumbag, but he is not, why should he enjoy the same treatment?
