[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 176

Oceanwide Plaza is located in the bustling area of ​​downtown Los Angeles. It is adjacent to the famous Lakers, the Staples Stadium, home of the Clippers, the Nokia Theater, the Grammy Museum and the Convention and Exhibition Center.

Rodney and his friends just came out of the mobile phone store in Oceanwide Plaza, and just after their wages were paid, they bought the latest Motorola mobile phone for themselves.

This small and exquisite mobile phone is much more beautiful than that bulky Nokia mobile phone, let alone the big mobile phone of many years ago.

"What are your plans for tonight?" Giles said mysteriously, "A friend of mine met a Hollywood female star in a nightclub in Los Angeles, why don't we go there to have fun?"

"Don't you want to watch the game? The Rams are going to face the Chicago Bears, how can we miss this opportunity!"

"I told my girlfriend that I want to watch a movie together. Sorry, I will play with you next time."

Eddie looked at his silent friend, and couldn't help but tapped his shoulder: "What about you, Rodney? Do you have any plans for the evening?"

"At night?" Rodney pointed to the movie poster over there and said, "Why don't you go to the cinema and watch a movie, I think that movie looks interesting."

"Which one?"

"Did you see it? It's the poster on the wall over there."

The walls several floors high were covered with "Mulholland Drive" posters, and the faces of Eve and Laura were particularly eye-catching, which was amazing for this group of young people!

"Wow, that girl looks familiar, who played it?" Giles looked far away, not denying that he was fascinated by the actress on the poster.

Rodney was a little disgusted, "The name of the actor is written on it, which is played by Eve. Last time we watched "Death Comes" starring her."

Giles shuddered, "I remember. That movie was so scary that I couldn't go to the bathroom for two days in a row. Is she the actor of Claire? In the movie, she had a great figure, and she was beautiful and beautiful." Clever. Is she going to be in a sequel anyway?"

"She is Claire. This one looks like a thriller. What are they watching?" Rodney said excitedly, "Do you want to go to the cinema?"

"This name is a bit familiar, where I heard it before."

"See the Hollywood sign on the poster? Mulholland Drive is not far from it. It's the name of a road. I've been there once."

"Then this movie must have something to do with Hollywood, I hope it will be a good movie."

"Come back at the weekend, shall we?"

"This may be a good movie, but your arrangement can only fail for the time being." Eddie couldn't help pouring cold water on it.

"why?"

This huge promotional poster did not write the release time, but only wrote about being shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival. Universal Pictures only arranged posters in several big cities. The purpose was not to let the audience enter the cinema, but to know in advance There is this movie.

The advertising space in the summer season is very tight, and those commercial blockbusters cost tens of millions of dollars in publicity, which can overwhelmingly surround the audience.

Just like "Gladiator" and "Mission Impossible 2" not far away have contracted larger advertising spaces.

Eddie said silently: "Because this movie won't be released until June, my girlfriend Brenda likes Eve and Keanu very much, and she pays attention to and talks about related things every day. "Mulholland Drive" will It will not be released in North America until after the Cannes Film Festival, and I hope to open a few more cinemas by then, otherwise I have to go to a distant cinema to watch it."

"That's such a pity!" Rodney was extremely regretful, he really wanted to explore the content of the movie.

"June is not too far away, and it will be May soon. Fortunately, it is not released near Christmas."

"I suspect you're talking about "Almost Famous". Keanu is a rock musician himself, and I'm looking forward to his first film collaboration with Eve."

"Let's go, it seems that we should stay at home and watch the football game honestly tonight. After the game, let's watch another movie. We can't waste a man's night!"

"Next time we can drive to Mulholland Drive to see if there are any wonderful things or scenery there that can make the director shoot a movie."

"There's nothing there, just an ordinary road."

"really?"

"I do not believe!"

David Lynch's movie turned an ordinary street in Los Angeles into an instant internet sensation.

Movie lovers in other cities are powerless, but residents in Los Angeles have inherent advantages, especially those movie lovers who have the time and energy to silently plan their travel time and route, and plan to go to this road to find out intelligence.

The originally quiet and remote Mulholland Drive will welcome visitors one after another in the next period of time.

……

Just when movie fans all over the world were attracted by the "Mulholland Drive" poster, the lead actor Eve followed the two agents to the famous Universal Studios.

This is the earliest and largest filming base in Hollywood. It is located in the northwest of downtown Los Angeles, very close to Hollywood. It is the birthplace of film studios such as Paramount and Universal Pictures.

Some of the parks are theme parks, which are places where tourists play and take pictures.

The place where tourists can't touch is the place where movies and TV series are produced, just like the famous Illumination Entertainment is in Universal Studios, and the company's most famous character is Minions.

On the shooting base side, the different locations will give people a feeling of time and space disorder, and the architectural styles are different. It seems that the pictures of film and television dramas can find their prototypes here.

Gas stations, cafes, small shops, small parks, and small villas one after another, seem to have moved the whole world here.

At this moment, Eve was standing in front of a building full of Eastern European styles. She didn't know what to prepare for today's audition, she was just thinking about it.

Considering the characteristics of action movies, Eve didn't wear a gorgeous dress or dress today, but a classic white shirt. The top two buttons of the shirt were not buttoned, and the hem was tied in high-waisted denim. Among the leg pants.

The combination of high-waisted trousers and wide belt is unexpectedly harmonious, and a pair of relatively short high-heeled shoes are on the feet.The overall look is refreshing and capable, but it also has a sexy and sassy feeling.

Mary in "Bourne Shadow" is a bank and financial employee, so she should usually be dressed in a lady's suit, shirt and the like.

Eve chose a shirt, but at the same time she didn't want to look too professional, so she neutralized it with jeans, and now she looks very shabby!

"Nice to meet you, you look so beautiful today!" Doug Liman praised sincerely, this outfit made Eve look more mature.

Originally, he was a little worried that Eve's face was too tender, and there was a big age gap with Brad Pitt, and he was also worried that Eve would not be able to act out the situation of working women. This is not a chick movie. The workplace, and then become a career expert.

In fact, Eve went to the bank yesterday afternoon to handle unnecessary business, just to observe those working women.Of course, Mary in it is a senior financial consultant in Canada, and her professional level is not comparable to that of ordinary people, so it can only be used as a small reference.

"Thank you for the compliment." After greeting the director, Eve took the initiative to ask, "I'm very confused about today's audition. I don't know what I need to do?"

Doug looked relaxed, "Let's meet with the rest of the producers first, and see how they feel about you."

Immediately afterwards, he shook hands with the two agents and said hello, as if he didn't care about the audition.

Soon, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a gray-haired old man and two middle-aged people came in from outside. One of them was Frank Marshall, and his wife, Katherine Kennedy, did not appear.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Robert Ludlum, the original author of "The Bourne", and this is Mr. Richard Rygoldstein from Universal Pictures, and the producer from Kennedy Marshall Mr. Frank Marshall of the firm."

Doug was the most familiar with Eve, and began to help introduce the identities of the three.

Eve had already stood up from the chair. She had already known about the collision of names between the author and the agent. Now she shook hands with the old gentleman and praised: "It's an honor to meet you, "Bourne's "Identity" is fantastic, you have created a very strong agent image, I believe that Jason Bourne's name will definitely be as famous as James Bond."

At this time, the most famous agent is only 007 James Bond, only one of Cruise's "Mission: Impossible" has been released, and Ethan Hunt's name is far from being as famous as later generations.

In fact, this film is really attractive. Looking at the text in it, you can imagine a standard blockbuster in your mind: gun battle, chase, love, spy shadow, but there is also a problem that there are too many words and too long. A whole 550 pages.

The author Robert's face is full of wrinkles, and there is not much hair left on his head. He looked at Eve and said with satisfaction: "You look like Mary, but you are seven or eight years younger than her."

Mary in it is close to 30 years old, with strong financial analysis ability and strong observation ability, and her IQ can be compared with Bourne. She helped Bourne solve a lot of troubles on the way to escape, and she is a very capable assistant, just like Watson and Sherlock. But there is still love between Mary and Bourne.

She is not only a person with a high IQ, but also has a sense of justice. She wants to help Bourne clean up his grievances and expose the dark insider of the CIA.

Most of the time, the author has little power when adapting a movie, but since Robert is the producer of the movie, his approval is extremely important to Eve!

Frank Marshall himself was very optimistic about her, and Doug Liman was an alumnus and adopted her opinion, so only Richard was considered a hard bone.

As long as Richard can be dealt with, then the role is basically a certainty.
