[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 186 Wise Choice

In the CAA building, Robert and Eve were sitting on the sofa chatting. The two of them specially requisitioned Evan's office, and the two producers of "Reaper 2" would show up half an hour later.

"I also think your idea is very good. You can't force it too hard. At the same time, you must make them pay a certain amount of connections."

Finding the crew to lose money is the most inferior approach, which will make the entire industry's impression of Eve fall to the bottom, so the two have never considered similar things at all.

Eve sighed: "But I don't think it made them uncomfortable at all. This punishment is a bit weak."

"Your presence on that show will at least cost the movie tens of millions of dollars. These two producers are embarrassing in the industry, and New Line Cinema will definitely lower their budget for future projects. Unless "Reaper 2" is in It can be successful commercially, otherwise "Reaper 3" will have to be replaced!"

The consequences of some things cannot be seen overnight, and most of the time it is under the surface of the water.

In fact, Robert was a little more conservative. She publicly stated on "Good Morning America" ​​that she would not return for the sequel, which disappointed countless fans.

Originally, it would be a pity that the director and the leading actor did not return, but everyone still has hope in Eve. The role of Claire played by her is very attractive and has many fans.

As a result, the three giants did not appear. Although the name is "Reaper 2", it is actually two different stories from the previous one, and at most it has a little bit of involvement in the plot.

Unless the word-of-mouth is overwhelmed, passers-by and fans of the previous work are unlikely to buy it, and 1000 million US dollars is not enough. Deadline, a professional box office forecasting agency, directly adjusted the global box office forecast of "Reaper 2" from 1.8 million US dollars to 1.2 million. It can be seen that the impact is huge!

Generally speaking, like the first movie that sells well at the word of mouth and box office, there will be a box office increase in the sequel.Because the fame and word-of-mouth have already come out, it is more guaranteed than ordinary original movies, and the audience brought by DVD sales and rentals will also become a box office growth point.

Considering the characteristics of its thriller and horror films, Deadline's expectations are relatively conservative, and it is believed that the increase may only be 3000 million US dollars, from 1.5 million US dollars in the first part to 1.8 million US dollars.

As a result, gossip magazines first reported that Eve was playing big names and refused to return after seeing money, and then reported a series of news that the entire production crew was suspended because of this.

Just when everyone believed it to be true, Eve herself slapped her in the face on a TV show that she had never promised to lead.

With a guest star contract and asking someone to be the lead actor, the newcomer would definitely be very happy, but as a star with such a busy schedule, no one would agree.

The reason why the producer of "Death is Coming" apologized so much must be based on the company's pressure, wanting to stop the loss as soon as possible, maintain the popularity of the collapsed passers-by, and let the fans not run away.

To be honest, a gap in the embankment has already appeared, and Eve doesn't know what to do if she wants to remedy it. Anyway, she won't act or make a guest appearance.

Eve will not overthrow what she said in front of tens of millions of North American audiences.

Not every production crew is as open-minded as Sonic the Hedgehog to accept criticism from netizens and fans. It depends on the production crew's thoughts on how to make public relations urgent.

While the two were talking, Evan's assistant knocked on the door: "Miss Campbell, Mr. Craig and Mr. Moore from New Line Films have come over."

"Help them come in, thank you."

Eve and Robert stood up and came to the door. Two middle-aged men in suits pushed the door in. The leading one was the familiar Craig Perry, but the other one had never been seen before.

At the beginning of the filming of "Death Comes", Craig also agreed to modify the role of Claire played by Eve, but now they have turned against each other. It is really unpredictable.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Perry."

Eve reached out to say hello, "I'm sorry we met again in this way."

Those who can become producers are almost all human beings.

After the two sat down, Craig immediately separated the relationship: "I didn't expect things to turn out like this. Those media are really hateful. They make up news casually, completely ignoring the truth of the matter."

"They didn't even have basic morals for the sake of sales." Robert responded with a smile, reluctantly accepting this excuse.

In fact, everyone here knows what's going on. "Reaper 2" wants to use Eve to hype, and wants to use public opinion and fans' expectations so that she has to accept the script arrangement.

Without the instruction of the crew insiders, how could those newspapers pay attention to a small crew, how could they know such detailed content, speak seriously, and pour all the dirty water on Eve.

"All the media are the same. What they want to see most is that there is a problem with the filming." Andy Moore asked hypocritically: "Miss Campbell, are you really unable to appear in our film? The audience is very Looking forward to your return."

Eve is not someone who comes and goes when she is called, and she feels a little uncomfortable. Do these two people really not know the reason for their refusal?

"I really can't arrange my schedule right now. Next, I will go to USC to experience life, and then I will fly to Cannes."

She gave Robert a look, what are these two people doing at the door, such greetings are a waste of time.

After receiving Eve's signal, Robert said, "The two of you are here today to invite Eve, right?"

"Actually, we want to come to clarify the random reports of the media. We hope that Miss Campbell has not been affected. If there is, we are very sorry." Craig was a little annoyed in his heart, but he couldn't see it on his face, "If If there is anything we can do to help, please let us know."

Finally getting to the point, Eve said with a smile: "I really need your help with something, I hope you can introduce me to Mr. Lynn Harris. I am very grateful for one of your company's copyright libraries. Interest, if there is an opportunity to cooperate again, it must be very wonderful."

She didn't say which one it was, so she should be on guard so as not to be stumbling.

Harmfulness is not allowed, and defensiveness is necessary!

"Mr. Harris?" Craig was a little taken aback. Lynn is the director of production at New Line Pictures. He has scolded him a lot in the past two days, and even came to apologize because of pressure from the company.

New Line Films has a large library of copyrights, and there are many movie and TV adaptation rights for movies, anime, and games. Craig doesn't know which one Eve is looking at.

"If it's convenient, I'd like to talk to Mr. Harris face to face." Eve had a smile on his face. If it's not convenient, then this meeting is meaningless.

Fortunately, it was just a meeting. If it is said that the copyright was bought over, Craig would not be able to do it anyway.It's just that it shouldn't be difficult to arrange a meeting. Lynn Harris himself is interested in Eve, a bold actress.

Even if the copyright cooperation doesn't go well this time, there might still be a chance to see her in New Line Pictures' movies.

Eve can be regarded as self-aware, just ask the production supervisor. As for the president who is named in front of every movie, he will definitely not care about such trivial matters.

Craig said: "I'll ask Mr. Harris when I get back."

"Then trouble the two of you."

Eve stood up and was about to see off the guest. The other party came to apologize and offered compensation. She accepted it, and it should be over.

However, Andy and Craig both looked a little embarrassed, and the matter has not been resolved yet!

Eve accepted the apology, so how to make up for the mistakes she caused?

"Is it true that Miss Campbell can't make a cameo in a movie? Even if it's just an appearance."

"I can help you record a promotional video, such as wishing the movie better and better, and wishing fans to go to the cinema."

Eve has done her best. She knows that this kind of video is usually not watched by many people and will not be of much use, so she proposes this.

There was a trace of bitterness on Craig's face, and he had to make up for the disaster he waited for others to make.

"Then thank Miss Campbell in advance."

It is better to have this video than not to have it, and I will go back and think about the rest.

Eve didn't know what was going on, so she suggested, "You can ask Devon, if he happens to have time, he should be able to help you."

Craig's eyes lit up, this proposal is very reliable!

If the heroine does not appear, the appearance of the male protagonist will still make fans and audiences happy. It can be said that Devon was originally a hidden surprise, but now it is announced in response to false reports to stabilize the morale of the army.

"Devon? I'll ask later."

"Goodbye."

After Eve sent the two of them out of the office door, she immediately took out her mobile phone and called Devon to report the news.

She has a good relationship with this boy, anyway, Craig and others will think of this method sooner or later, why not propose it first, so that Devon can make a small profit.

"Eve? I thought the display on my phone was wrong." Devon Sawa on the other end of the phone was a little surprised, because the last time the two of them chatted was a group text message of Merry Christmas.

"You're not mistaken." Eve ignored the pleasantries and went straight to the point: "Do you have any movie projects recently?"

Although Devon Sawa is the leading actor in "Death Comes", but the film has very little bonus for him, and his popularity is not as fast as Eve's rise, and there are very few good roles and scripts he can receive.

"The filming of "French Open" just ended, and I'm still taking a break. Do you have a character to introduce to me?" He was just joking at first, and didn't take it seriously at all.

Who knows that Eve replied seriously: "Yes, I introduced you to a job, maybe after a while Craig will call your agent to invite you to return to star in "Reaper 2". Regardless of whether you are playing a leading role or a supporting role, the salary can be as high as possible, 200 million or 300 million US dollars will do.”

"Really?" Devon was a little dumbfounded. His original offer of 150 million US dollars was rejected, but now his offer of 300 to [-] million US dollars seems to be purely dreaming.

"Giving you a salary of 200 million yuan is better than reducing the movie box office by tens of millions of dollars. You are now Craig's life-saving medicine. You should discuss it with your agent. Don't tell anyone about the content of our phone call."

Eve was just a little annoyed. While helping her friend find a job, she was cheating on the crew's production costs.

I didn't like it at the beginning, but now I have to spend double or triple the salary to bring back the male lead!

There is no way, she is a good person who is willing to help others, and by the way makes the enemy feel embarrassed, killing two birds with one stone.
