[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 179 Sweet troubles

In last year's "Death Comes", the leading actors and actresses and all the supporting roles were unknown young actors.However, in such a horror movie with a cost of only 2000 million US dollars, the North American box office grossed more than 7000 million US dollars, and the global box office exceeded 1.5 million US dollars. Pen.

Not only did it perform well at the box office, but "Death Comes" has been loved by many audiences. The starring Eve Campbell won the Saturn Award for Best Actress. Two Teen Choice Awards for Best Horror and Suspense Film and Best Breakthrough Actor, although no one knows how the group of teenagers saw this R-rated horror film.

Under such circumstances, launching a sequel is a matter of course.

At the end of the first part, it is clear that there will be a sequel. Neither the hero nor the heroine has died yet, and the pursuit of the god of death is still going on, and there is no explanation for the supernatural power of the god of death.

Now that the sequel is launched, it is very strange. From the leading role, director, script, supporting roles, and behind-the-scenes staff, there is almost a big change, and all the main creators in the first part are directly discarded.

Even in Hollywood, such extremes are rarely seen.

New Line Cinema has been keeping a tight lid on it, and has not reported it to the outside world at all.

If it weren't for Eve's occasional contact with director Huang Yiyu, she wouldn't know about the big change of crew, this would be a change of dynasty and expel all the influence of Huang Yiyu and others.

For the film company, the price increase is difficult to accept. If Huang Yiyu is allowed to direct this series of films again, it will definitely be completely tied up with "Death is Coming", and it will become the soul figure instead.

Huang Yiyu knew very early on that he was not destined for the sequel. At that time, "Death is Coming" was still in theaters, and he did not agree. He wanted more director's salary and shooting freedom, which obviously would not be agreed.

Fortunately, there is a successful film, and now he is shooting the film "Universal Pursuit" at Columbia Pictures, starring Jet Li, Jason Statham and others, and the filming has started.

"I just sent a message to the producers Toby and Craig, asking them to email the script and the cast and crew list as soon as possible. I hope the script is okay." Robert's attitude was much tougher. If something goes wrong, I and others should not get involved.

Evan Stoff asked earnestly: "Can you take the contract you signed at the beginning and let us study it and see if there is a solution."

"The contract is still in the safe, I'll go back and get it. Please read the reply from New Line Films first." Eve's contract and valuables are kept in the safe at home so that thieves will not Or the cleaning staff become greedy.

"We are not in a hurry, you should pay attention to safety on the road."

No one said that they would get it for her. Of course, the less people know the location and password of the safe, the better.

The advantage of living next to Hollywood is probably that the commuting distance between work and life is very short.

It only took Eve more than ten minutes to drive back home from the CAA building.

When she came back, her boyfriend was holding the script under the umbrella in the backyard and kept reading. He, the leading actor, had just gotten the scripts of the two sequels of "The Matrix", but after reading it, he had no clue at all.

"Still reading the script?" Eve threw him a bottle of mineral water, "Relax and relax, it's normal if you don't understand."

Keanu sighed: "I think the scene behind is very cool, but I'm not sure what the Wachowski brothers want to express. Maybe I just need to play a good savior."

"Maybe you can communicate with them. In addition to being handsome and cool, Neo can also perform your own things."

Eve encouraged her boyfriend. In fact, she also regarded "The Matrix" as a wonderful sci-fi action movie, and she didn't know much about cyberpunk and the relationship between humans and robots.

She only hoped that this series of movies would end with a bang, and present a gluttonous feast to movie fans all over the world.

"Did you know? Zion, the base of resistance that everyone was looking for in the first part, turned out to be fake, and the Neo savior I played is also fake. These are all self-correcting by the mother. All this is a dream, Waking up from one dream into another."

In her previous life, Eve didn't understand movies very well, and she looked confused: "There can't be too many things about philosophy and religion, as long as they are appropriate. If there are too many, ordinary audiences like me will watch it very strangely. The second and second movies The three films are positioned as commercial blockbusters, right?"

"Yes, Warner hopes that they can reap more box office and derivative revenue."

"If even you, the leading actor, find it difficult to understand the script, then you should be careful. The film only needs crazy, hearty fighting and special effects, and the story must be understood by the audience."

Keanu is now tied to "The Matrix", which is in a state of both prosperity and loss. After hearing his girlfriend's suggestion, he immediately became vigilant and prepared to discuss the script with the Wachowski brothers.

After putting the script aside, he asked curiously, "How's the audition for "The Bourne Shadow" going? Is there any result?"

"Actually, that wasn't an audition at all. They decided to hand over the role to me a long time ago." Eve's expression was a little exaggerated and helpless, "I was sitting in the conference room listening to the producer and agent discussing and negotiating with the figures for the content of the contract. For two full hours."

"Congratulations on getting this role!" Keanu stood up and hugged his girlfriend, and then kissed her lightly on the lips. Being able to get an A-level leading actress in a film proves that he has really gained a firm foothold in Hollywood. heel.

Although I want to see my girlfriend play a couple with other actors, but we are all actors, knowing that the content of the movie is false, it is all about mutual understanding.

If an actor falls in love with an outsider, the misunderstanding may be greater.

Now that they are both insiders, naturally there will be no conflict because of this matter. Of course, it is inevitable to feel a little sour in their hearts.

If there is no smell of vinegar, it proves that love does not exist.

"You are so great, we should celebrate tonight, let me see what restaurants are nearby." Keanu was really happy for his girlfriend, and he rushed from an unknown amateur actor to a top production in a year.

Unexpectedly, Eve shook her head helplessly, "I haven't finished my work today, I'm going to get the contract of "Reaper 2" right now, Robert and Evan are still waiting."

"What happened to that movie?" Keanu was a little puzzled, "Aren't you going to be a guest star in a week?"

"It's because I'm going to be a guest star soon, but I haven't got the script of the movie yet, and I don't know what's going on with the movie's configuration. There may be some problems in the middle."

Eve really doesn't know what the producer thinks, she just hopes that her project can end smoothly like other movies.

"Let me go with you, and I'll ask Evan to give his opinion by the way, and have a look at his opinion on the sequel script of "The Matrix"."

Keanu pretended to be envious, and lamented: "Now he has a new signed artist, and he has forgotten me."

For a long time, Keanu has let Evan Stoff act as the producer of the film he starred in, in order to free himself from daily affairs, and at the same time have no less right to speak.

Now that I and Eve have noticed that the movie script is not friendly to ordinary audiences, we need to think about it again.

The Wachowski brothers are now Hollywood's most popular chickens. Keanu doesn't want to have a large-scale creative conflict with them, so it's best to let his agent speak up.

Those two brothers are standing at the pinnacle of their lives, whether they can listen to the advice is still unknown.

Eve looked at his casual home attire, and said, "Why don't you change into a pair of pants? It's not summer yet, so there's no need to go out in beach pants and slippers."

"You're right, it's a bit strange to go to a restaurant like this."

So the two headed towards the second floor together, one was to find a thick stack of contracts in the safe, and the other was to find suitable clothes in the dressing room.

Soon, Eve saw her boyfriend standing in front of him wearing a casual suit and sneakers. Coupled with his previous short hair style, he looked exactly the same age as her, with a sunny and handsome smile.

"My heartbeat suddenly accelerated..."

"Then I have to be ready to give you CPR. Shall I ride you there?"

"It will feel good."

He didn't start the fire with electricity, but stepped on the fire with his feet in a very retro way, which is more stylish, and this is where his feelings lie.

Keanu has been silently thinking about using his private jet to take his three favorite motorcycles to Australia, where the sparsely populated land is just suitable for racing.

Carrying the girl she loves all the way to CAA avoiding the traffic jam, Eve just knocked on Evan Stoff's office, and saw the expressions of the two managers were a bit unpleasant.

"Has New Line Cinema already sent the script?" She asked curiously.

Robert nodded: "It's over."

"Is the script poorly written, or is there something wrong with my character?" Eve handed her contract to the agent for review, and she picked up the stack of A4 papers on the table that was still warm from the printer and started to flip through them.

"We haven't had enough time to read the script, but through the statistics of the document and the words of the producer, they have completely expanded your guest performance and added a lot of roles to your role as Claire."

"Yes, it was obviously a special treatment, but it turned out to be the second female lead."

This is the first time Eve has encountered such a situation, wouldn't it be a good thing to have more scenes?

Which actor would dislike himself for having too many roles in the movie?
