[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 170 That's so awesome!

Adding an agent requires extremely careful consideration. Eve knows that things can't develop too fast, and she won't let go of her words until she sees enough sincerity, let alone change the content of the contract.

Escorted by a group of gossip reporters and paparazzi, she finally finished a whole day of filming, and she was very tired.

The hysterical crazy woman is really difficult to play. The same scene was stuck six times over and over again, which can be regarded as breaking her NG record in "Mulholland Drive".

Eve, who only ate a sandwich at noon, was already groaning with hunger. She planned to eat a little more in the evening, and then go to exercise to maintain enough energy.

Now that the preparations for "The Bourne Shadow" have started, I have to build up my physical stamina. Regardless of whether I can get the role of Mary, more training will definitely be beneficial.

It can save time when the director makes her run and be out of breath when performing, so where can I still care about the performance, it must be a mess.

The most important thing is that filming does not require actors to perform once or twice. It is very likely that they will need to go back and forth many times, and they will not be able to sustain it without enough physical fitness.

It can't be that the hero is running and fleeing dedicatedly, while the heroine is tired and paralyzed, looking for a substitute, right?Anyway, Eve can't do that kind of thing, and she can do the same professionalism that an actor can do!

After eating and drinking enough, she sat in front of the TV with her boyfriend and started playing console games. It was difficult for her to manipulate the gamepad, and she didn’t know how to play it at all, even Keanu couldn’t beat it.

Keanu is actually a game fan. Apart from reading books, watching TV, and going out to play with friends, he is proficient in various games, such as "Mortal Kombat", "Super Mario", "Mario Kart", "Zelda "Legend" and so on.

It can be said that the three types of games, such as cars, guns, and battles, cannot escape his palm. Eve really suffered a disastrous defeat against him, so he can only save face in "Harvest Moon", because that game is not very competitive. .

Now it seems that Eve and Keanu are really loyal fans of Nintendo.

"I lost again..."

Eve was a little crazy, she put the game controller on the coffee table angrily, and then proposed a new challenge to her boyfriend: "Let's play the dance mat and have a showdown."

Playing the dance mat is very exhausting, and at the same time requires physical coordination and the ability to control the music. After Keanu played with her once, he was willing to bow down.

Although she doesn't know how to dance, she doesn't lose to Keanu in terms of rhythm.

Americans are actually not better at dancing, but more daring to let their bodies move, and they will twist their bodies at will to follow the rhythm of the music.

"Maybe we can find a party and relax."

"Sounds very interesting." Eve is actually a little bored at home, and wants to go out to let the wind go, even if she doesn't know how to dance, sometimes she wants to dance to the demons.

More formal occasions such as waltz or ballroom dancing are boring, and she wants to go to a place where a DJ controls the venue, although maybe this time she goes, there will be no next time.

When she was about to get up to get the dance mat, the mobile phone placed aside suddenly rang, and it was a call from the assistant.

"Miss Campbell, the Cannes Film Festival announced the first batch of shortlisted films 10 minutes ago!" Mandy's voice was full of excitement that could not be concealed.

Holding the phone, Eve persuaded, "Calm down, we still have a chance. Fumao has already said that they will reserve a spot for David."

"No, "Mulholland Drive" has already appeared on the shortlist!"

"What? You must have read it wrong!" Eve subconsciously denied that she hadn't finished filming this movie yet, so how could she appear on the shortlist.

Either Mandy made a mistake, or Fu Mao and Cannes made a mistake.

"I'm definitely not mistaken. You can go online and check it out. Various media have already started reposting it. Maybe you can confirm with the director to see if there is any mistake."

"Okay, I'll go take a look right away."

Eve quickly hung up the phone, then trotted all the way up the stairs.

Keanu was a little baffled, and followed her to the study on the second floor, and asked when the computer was turned on, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Mandy said that the first shortlist of the Cannes Film Festival appeared, and "Mulholland Drive" was among them, and we obviously didn't finish filming."

"Isn't this a good thing? Anyway, as long as the post-production can be completed before the opening of the film festival, you don't need to worry about the rest."

Even though she said so, Eve was still a little nervous. She knew that "Mulholland Drive" needed a boost from film festivals or awards, otherwise it would probably be a dismal box office if it was released directly.

If you take a crudely made film to a film festival where artists gather, won't you be ridiculed by the crowd?

With such doubts, Eve finally turned on the computer. She used the built-in IE browser to search for the situation of this Cannes Film Festival, and all the search results were news released within more than ten minutes.

Le Figaro in France reported on the British BBC TV station, and from Spain's Goya newspaper to the Los Angeles Times in the United States, as well as various news websites reprinted the news.

There is a certain time difference between France and the United States. When Eve enters the night here, it is still daytime there.

Media from all over the world are forwarding and analyzing this list, wanting to know which filmmakers and actors have been shortlisted, and at the same time analyzing the identities of the judges of the main competition unit.

Eve clicked on the BBC news link casually, and a series of lists appeared in front of her eyes.

"one two Three……"

She counted carefully, and found that Cannes announced the list of 15 films in one breath, and "Mulholland Drive" was really among them, and it was specially marked with the words "in progress", for fear of film lovers and audiences They didn't know that the movie wasn't finished yet.

Keanu patted his girlfriend on the back, pointed to one of the movies and said, "Don't worry, look, there is another movie that is still being filmed like you, and its name hasn't even been confirmed yet."

Eve took a closer look, only to find that the movie was really written as "untitled film". Not only did it not have a name, it was even being filmed in Thailand at this time!

It's just that the director's name is very familiar, and Wong Kar-wai and the production location Hong Kong are even more firm in his mind. Except for Wong Kar-wai, Cannes probably won't be so generous.

Maybe this name is not known to many people in the United States, but it is well-known in Hong Kong. Wong Kar-wai wearing sunglasses is the favorite of literary youths, and now his film in production has also been shortlisted in Cannes, which shows that Fu Mao Love and support for him.

The only two films in the shortlist that are still in production are almost all Cannes direct descendants. David Lynch is the winner of the best picture in Cannes, and Wong Kar Wai won the Cannes three years ago with "Happy Time". Film Festival Best Director.

These two are well-known and talented filmmakers themselves, plus the actors and the script are very good. Of course, they are willing to give them the opportunity to be shortlisted. By the way, they will hype it and attract media attention and discussion.

When Eve saw that Wong Kar Wai's movie was cooperating with the actress of Berlin, her vague memory instantly became very clear. If I remember correctly, it should be "In the Mood for Love".Because among the Chinese people, there are only a handful of actresses who won the best actresses of the three major film festivals, and Maggie Cheung is the only one who has worked with Wong Kar Wai!

Coincidentally, Maggie Cheung's French director husband, Olivier Assayas, was also on the shortlist, and the couple competed in a strange way.

There is nothing to discuss in announcing the shortlist alone. It is necessary to make this list interesting and controversial!

This shortlist definitely took a lot of thought from Fumao. It not only has a certain degree of artistry, but also must ensure attention and influence. Many media have already begun to discuss it.

What kind of charm does "Mulholland Drive" and "In the Mood for Love" make them shortlisted without completion?

Why did Fu Mao praise "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" before, but finally disqualified it from the main competition and put it in the special screening unit?

Is Asian cinema really on the rise?Among the shortlisted list of the first batch of 15 films, there are actually 7 films, and Chinese directors occupy 3 of them.

The media in Europe, North America, and South America were very dissatisfied with this, while the media in Asia were very happy.

In addition to Wong Kar Wai, Taiwan-Taiwan director Yang Dechang's "Yi Yi" and mainland director Jiang Wen's "Ghost-Child" are coming. Directors from South Korea, Japan, Palestine, and Iran are all shortlisted.

In comparison, the rest of the countries are much weaker. Usually, European films occupy the main position, but now they are somewhat weak. There are only three films in France, and many other countries that are famous for their film art have even become poor commanders. .

There are only three shortlisted films from the United States, but the lineup is very luxurious, and they are all famous directors and actors.

Needless to say, David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive", the Coen Brothers' "Three Kings" starred in the famous diamond tycoon George Clooney, and another movie "Emergency Lover" Starring Morgan Freeman and Renee Zellweger.

It was a very happy thing to be shortlisted in advance. Eve still wanted to be careful, so she called the person in charge of the film to find out the situation.

"Hi, good evening, young lady." David Lynch's voice came over the phone, "I know why you're here."

"Congratulations, our film has been shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival!"

"That's right, I just found out about this surprising good news. Tomorrow we must celebrate on the set. At the same time, you need to be more attentive in shooting."

Eve asked curiously: "Didn't Mr. Fumao say that we have to wait for us to hand over the film production to him before we can make a final decision on whether we can be shortlisted? Why were we shortlisted in advance?"

David Lynch laughed proudly: "When he left the United States, I quietly handed over the TV series pilot episode of "Mulholland Drive" to him. Although the time was a little short, he thought it was very exciting. , and at the same time, I am full of praise for your performance, I feel that the production of TV dramas is so excellent, and the production of movies will definitely be even better."

"So that's how it is..."

"Of course, there is another reason because Mr. Alan Sade felt that our film needs to start promoting, and it happened to sell various copyrights during the Cannes Film Festival to prepare for its release."

The discerning France [-] TV company has always mainly funded films from all over the world, and "Mulholland Drive" has part of their investment, and there may even be seven or eight works of the same company in this Cannes Film Festival Being shortlisted is simply a bumper harvest!

The boss of the company, Alan Sartre, sends so many films to Cannes every year, and this influence still exists.

Anyway, sooner or later the finalists will be announced, so it is better to announce it earlier, so as to promote the film, increase its popularity, try to make less money at the box office, and make more money from copyright and discs.

"I can't wait to go to Cannes. This is my first time participating in a film festival." Eve said in a relaxed tone, with a smile on her face.

David Lynch exhorted and said: "The film festival is still far away, and the shooting is the most important thing now. I am glad that our shooting progress is still very good, and we will definitely be able to complete the post-production in May. Don't celebrate too late tonight. Tomorrow See you on set."

"See you tomorrow, bye~"

Eve hung up the phone, and she sighed at Keanu, "This film festival is indeed much more relaxed and free, and because the pilot episode of our film was so good, the film was directly shortlisted!"

"It means that ABC must have been blind and missed such a good script." Keanu stood up and gave the happy girl a hug. The two couldn't help kissing each other, sharing the joy of being shortlisted.

Just being shortlisted is enough excitement, if you get an award at the closing ceremony, wouldn't you faint with joy?
