[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 187 The Arabian Nights

Of course, Eve didn't mean to do good things on purpose, but she couldn't let the movie's box office really collapse, and now it's just a lesson for Craig and Moore.

If the movie box office drops too hard, my relationship with New Line Films will definitely be a little stiff and awkward. Even if I am not the main reason, it will be regarded as an important part.

Because the new line can't deal with the audience, can't deal with netizens, but it can deal with an actor.

She has already mastered the method of hitting a stick and then giving a sweet date. This time the victory is hard-won. At least the rest of Hollywood producers will no longer treat her as a soft persimmon, but it will also let the production company I think she is thorny and difficult to control.

Fame has always been a double-edged sword. Eve doesn't expect to be the type that everyone loves and flowers bloom. Only dollars can make everyone like it!

"I will follow up on the situation of their crew and call you if I have any news." Robert finally settled the matter, and his mood relaxed a lot.

Unexpectedly, Eve said: "Don't call me, just send me a text message. I will be an auditor of the law school from tomorrow, and I can't answer the phone in class."

"Well, forget that."

Robert reminded: "When you leave get out of class, remember to think about the film and television adaptation plan of "The Notebook". If you meet Lynn Harris, you must at least give a simple plan, and you can't have nothing."

Eve didn't have this kind of experience in preparing a film from scratch before, and now she reacted after being reminded, and nodded repeatedly: "I'll watch it in my spare time, and I will contact you and Evan by email or phone .”

In fact, she can't remember the plot of the movie anymore. She only knows that it is a very touching love movie. How to convert text into image data is very difficult, and there are too many things that need to be sorted out slowly.

It is difficult to maintain a balance between the film and the film. Eve wants to make a slightly larger change on the basis of respecting the original work. How to do it has to be discussed with the director and screenwriter.

She is mainly responsible for providing ideas, letting New Line Pictures notice the existence of such a film, and then working together to solve the logic chain.

Since it is a team, it must work together.

Especially Evan Stoff, who has more experience in film production, can help Eve avoid many detours.

That's why she would agree to have one more agent. Robert has no experience in this area and can only cross the river by feeling the stones.

After the negotiations were over, Eve didn't go home in a hurry, but went to the hairdressing salon to get her hair changed, purely for the Cannes look, and by the way, to disguise herself on campus.

She wants to observe others, not allow herself to be observed.

……

Here, Craig and Andy didn't talk much after CAA came out, but drove back to the office of New Line Films all the way.

"What about the girl's suggestion just now? It seems that the actors from the previous movie must be brought back, otherwise the audience and fans will definitely not buy it."

"How to solve the script?"

"Directly give the original Claire's role to Alex, and ask the screenwriter to arrange Claire's death method, such as dying while doing makeup or hair. Let Alex stay in the mental hospital, and then come out and lead the protagonists to find the first funeral home. The Negro, and finally arranged for him to die in order to save others."

"By the way, Devon Sawa must keep it secret and not leak the news in advance. We will release him as an Easter egg in the movie trailer, and now we will lose the surprise when it is announced."

"I think so too. You are in charge of contacting Devon's agency. I have directly refused before, so it is inconvenient to contact."

Craig sighed. The plot is easy to solve, but the lost impression is difficult to solve. It can only increase the cost, and then the publicity will be more violent.

He thought that Eve would swallow her anger and ignore the reports in various newspapers, but he didn't expect that girl to go to Good Morning America to announce to the world that she would not join.

Of course, I can ask that side to enforce the contract, questioning Eve's lack of contract spirit.

However, the contract clearly stipulates the time and scope of the shooting. The script and shooting arrangements given by me actually exceed the contract, and the other party has the right to terminate the agreement.

In fact, this is also the negligence of Craig and others. They miscalculated Eve's reaction. If it were other actresses, they would definitely not be on the show in public. At most, they would complain in private.

Compared with producers, actors are still a disadvantaged group.

Now Eve has to match her up after being screwed by Eve. Thinking of this, Craig feels chest tight and short of breath, and is very angry.

But what can be done?

If the fight continues, maybe the two of us will be transferred from the "Reaper 2" project, because it is too emotional, and it involves hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue, and the company will not allow any more trouble.

After he calmed down, he came to the office of the production director of the company and knocked lightly on the door.

"Please come in."

Craig unscrewed the doorknob and walked in. Inside, a middle-aged man with a square face was sitting in front of the computer. The tie around his neck was half untied, looking more casual.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Harris."

"Has the film project been handled? When can filming continue?" Lynn Harris asked with concern. He has always paid attention to film disputes, because this project is very important to the company, and it was the most profitable of New Line last year. Movie.

Although the overall box office of "Ace Powers 2" will be higher, but the investment is also large, and its performance in the follow-up disc market is not as good as "Death Comes".

Even the movie "Magnolia" in which Cruise participated is not as profitable as it.

Most of the funds in the hands of New Line have been used to shoot and produce the "Lord of the Rings" movie. Last year and this year are some low-cost movies, and they want to fight big with small.

"Reaper 2" was originally the seed player of this year, and it is much more promising than "Successor of the Devil", "Invasion of Brain Cells", and "Black Hole Frequency".But after such a toss, the prospects are greatly damaged.

Craig nodded, "She accepted our reason, and recommended to us the male lead of the first film, Devon Sawa. After discussion, we all felt that this proposal was very good, and the leading actor returned as a supporting role. How should this group of newcomers avoid death."

"Then we must start filming as soon as possible. This time we are trying to release it globally within a week, and we must leave enough time for publicity." Lynn Harris urged, and the crew would spend hundreds of thousands of dollars every day they stop, so we must shoot as soon as possible!

"The actors are being contacted, and the screenwriter is also thinking about script revisions. We can shoot the hero and heroine first, and then we can shoot Devon Sawa."

"That's not bad. What about the girl's condition, what does she want?"

"She wants to meet you," Craig said truthfully.

Lynn Harris was a little surprised, "What are you doing meeting me? I don't seem to have anything to do with her."

"Eve has taken a fancy to a part of our company and wants to cooperate with the company to adapt it together."

"It's kind of funny that she wants to make a movie," Lynn asked. "Did she reveal what it was?"

"No, maybe I want to meet with you in person and talk about it."

Lynn Harris stroked the beard on his chin, and said to himself: "Eve Campbell is gaining momentum now, she has good acting skills and looks good, and seems to be very good at managing herself, and there is another A big star boyfriend. If she can gain something at the Cannes Film Festival, she should be more famous."

"I think the movie she starred in with Keanu will definitely have a lot of topics regardless of the box office and word of mouth. Everyone will pay attention to the couple's first collaboration, and the director and other actors seem to be very reliable. It is said to be a push for this year's awards season."

"Then you can help to tell her to come here the day after tomorrow. I would like to know which one she is interested in. If it is suitable, it is not a bad thing to develop together."

"I don't know if her ability can match her ambition. She just wanted to be a producer in such a short time after her debut, tsk tsk."

"Maybe she was spoiled by David Lynch, she thought that being a producer was so easy." Lynn Harris also knew the story of "Mulholland Drive", obviously that was Eve The first film as a producer.

These two people are not very optimistic about Eve for various reasons, but they want a miracle to happen.

After all, Eve is not a pure Hollywood actor. She also has a study experience at the USC School of Film Arts. That experience may be helpful for her to adapt a film as a producer.

……

Eve, who was missed by others, returned to the deserted villa alone. She knew that she was used to Keanu's existence. Now that guy will stay in Australia for more than a year, it is a lie in her heart to say that she is not uncomfortable.

Eve also knows that this is something that actors have to go through. The special nature of their profession determines that the two of them cannot stick together all the time like ordinary couples, and each has to pursue their careers.

Turn on the lights and let the TV set as the background music. She is holding the "Lianlian Notebook" in her hand, and there is a cowhide notebook and a pen next to it. She is ready to write down her inspiration at any time, and then connect them into a series. complete idea.

Obviously, I have read it twice, but when I opened it again, it still made Eve feel very sweet. Although Noah and Ellie have experienced hardships and setbacks, they are each other's first love and final destination.

Eve was moved by it from the very beginning, the elderly Noah felt that he was very ordinary, no one wrote a book or erected a monument for him, but he had one thing that was more successful than everyone else, that is, he loved the same person wholeheartedly throughout his life!

She wants the audience to experience this ordinary but vigorous love story, so that people who have never been in love should be able to feel the sweetness of love.

If this goal can be achieved, then there is no need to worry about the film's reputation and box office for the greatest restoration!

The author has something to say: Do little angels have any tricks to remove dandruff?

The author, Jun, has been annoyed by dandruff recently. My hair is still like snow after I wash my hair every day. I really don’t know how to deal with it.

At first I thought it was a shampoo problem, but I changed the shampoo and used Kang Wang again, but it couldn't even cure the symptoms, let alone the root cause.
