Chapter 188 The Director Asks for Help
On the campus of USC, Eve walked on the tree-lined path with a cloth bag on her shoulder, which contained two introductory books on law, notebooks and stationery.
Today, she returned to school and became a student, but just after the first class, she was given a blow, and she couldn't understand what the teacher was talking about, what regulations and legal treaties, and her eyes were blind.
Fortunately, the class in the afternoon is a case analysis, at least you can understand something, and at the same time, the students in the class will get up to answer questions, which just gave Eve the opportunity to observe.
She came to the school to observe, not to learn legal knowledge, but to learn how these students talk and play in class and during breaks, especially the girls inside are the objects of observation.
A commercial film does not mean a brainless film. Since you are planning to play a blonde who "mistakes" into Harvard University with a high IQ, you must be well prepared.
For fear of revealing her identity, Eve specially wore a pair of glasses. Superman's equipment is indeed very effective in camouflage.
These students seldom pay attention to the girl in the corner of the classroom, and they don't mind meddling in other people's business. They don't even know that Eve is a student who suddenly appeared, and no one strikes up a conversation with her or expresses kindness.
This may be because her acting skills are good, but she created an introverted and autistic personality for herself, so no one found out.
Of course, the biggest reason may be that she is not red enough. If she is so red, a mere pair of glasses is nothing, and people will still be recognized if they cover their faces with clothes or cover their heads with umbrellas.
After entering the campus, Eve realized that there was still a gap between herself and the real students. Although her face looked similarly young, in fact, her pure, energetic, and hopeful temperament was really different.
And this kind of temperament and demeanor are the key points she wants to imitate. Youth is so good in the age of self-confidence.
While she was having coffee and a turkey sandwich at a restaurant, Keanu called.
The time in Sydney is 18 hours faster than that in Los Angeles. When Keanu started to stand on the beach watching the sunrise at [-] o'clock in the morning, Eve's side was still past [-] noon the day before.
The two also have a 24-hour time difference comparison table, in order to call or send text messages at the right time, instead of waking up others in the middle of the night.
"Good morning, darling."
"Aren't you just having lunch?"
Both of them remembered each other's time clearly and greeted each other.
Eve readily admitted: "I'm having lunch on the USC campus, and I have a class to attend in the afternoon. Have you settled down there yet?"
"Jet lag is still a little bit of a problem, so today is just recovery training. I miss you."
"I'll come to see you in a few days, and then go directly to Brisbane?"
"Yes, our crew met in Sydney, and we will leave for Brisbane tomorrow, where I will teach you how to surf and dive."
The coldest time in Australia is actually July and August every year. It is still a little far from May, and the climate is just right for playing.
Eve was very moved, but she couldn't go ahead because she hadn't completed her work tasks, "It sounds like you're playing a game instead of filming."
"Train for a few hours a day at most. If you practice too much, your body can't bear it. Once you get injured, it will drag down the work of the entire crew, so we all have physical coaches, masseuses, and doctors by our side. The time outside of training can be freely arranged, and no one will Tube."
"Okay, that sounds appealing. Is Evan back? I have something I want to ask him for, and I'm going to talk to New Line about my favorite adaptation."
"He will fly back tonight, but considering the time difference, maybe he took off on April 4 and landed in Los Angeles on the same day."
Eve chatted with Keanu in the restaurant for a while, but a young girl not far away looked at her from time to time, and it wasn't until Eve put down her phone that she plucked up the courage to come over.
"Excuse me, excuse me, are you Eve?"
To be honest, Eve was a little flustered at this moment. She was sitting on the table in the restaurant and someone could recognize her, and at the same time she was a little happy.
At first I wanted to fool around, but then I thought maybe this is a hardcore fan, as long as it doesn't make a big splash, it shouldn't matter, since it's not a first-line star anyway.
So she replied softly: "I am, how did you recognize it?"
"I just watched the movie "The Girl Who Moved Soul" yesterday. You performed very well in the movie, which impressed me very much. Although your hairstyle has changed a lot now, and you wear glasses again, you are still very eye-catching." The girl His face was a little excited, "I was worried that I made a mistake just now, can you sign my DVD?"
Speaking of which, there was an extra DVD of "The Girl Who Moved the Soul" in front of Eve, and her face happened to be on the cover, although it was relatively small.
"This is a blockbuster disc. If I sign it, don't you want to return it?"
"It doesn't matter, I'll just return the disc inside and keep the outer casing, so I only need to pay a few dollars."
And this kind of operation?
Eve was really naive, she signed her name, and then returned the DVD to the other party.
It seems that the girl really didn't lie, but actually watched the movie.
Although there are still many questions to ask, the fan still endured it, and he didn't want to be an annoying person. He just cheered and said: "I am looking forward to your next "Mulholland Drive", the trailer Looks very attractive, you are a good actor."
"Thank you for the compliment, I hope the movie will surprise you when the time comes."
Eve waved goodbye to the fan, and then she also hurriedly evacuated the scene, because people at several tables around her were scrutinizing themselves, wondering what happened.
She came to USC to prepare for movies, not for others to chase stars.
……
Not everyone knew that she was auditing courses at USC. Fortunately, Eve had already adjusted her phone to silent mode, otherwise she would really have become the focus of attention in the lecture hall.
After one class, she had several phone calls, which made her overwhelmed, so she could only send a text message to say that she would call back later.
Some came from "Almost Famous" director Cameron Crowe, some from Devon Sawa, and one from my friend Jessica. These people called at around two o'clock in the afternoon.
Devon was a little better. After receiving Eve's text message, he replied to Eve about signing a contract to return to "Reaper 2".
Thanks to the information provided at the beginning, the salary of 200 million US dollars is not missing a cent, so I want to thank her.
Jessica, on the other hand, saw the news of Keanu's appearance in Australia in the newspaper, so she excitedly asked her friends to play together, but who knew that she would encounter this opportunity.
When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Eve put the notebook into the cloth bag directly, regardless of the class waiting for a while, and then rushed out of the classroom quickly.
Only auditors can be so free. The rest of the students who choose a course have to study hard and listen to the lectures. The students who can be admitted to the law school basically have strong self-discipline.
After coming out of the classroom, Eve walked towards the parking lot. Today's audition trip ended hastily. The most important things have been mastered, so you can be lazy for a while.
"Mr. Crowe, I'm sorry that I was inconvenient to answer the phone in the school classroom just now. May I ask what you can do for me?"
Judging from the current progress, "Almost Famous" should be edited and produced in the post-production stage. Could it be that there is a problem with my own role and I need to make up or reshoot?
Now her schedule is very tight, if it is really a reshoot, it may affect the rest of the film and activities, and it will affect the whole body.
Cameron Crowe, who was in the editing room of Columbia Pictures, was a little surprised. He didn't know why a person who had graduated would still go to the school classroom to teach, but it had nothing to do with what he wanted to talk about, so he could only suppress his curiosity.
"I asked the props team to look for the photos you took with Polaroid before, but there are only a few unimportant photos left. Are those photos on your side?"
"I took it away as a souvenir." Eve felt puzzled. Back then, she snapped a lot of photos with her Polaroid, and took them back when the shooting was over.
The main creators all have the props shot by the crew as souvenirs. Keanu’s souvenir is the guitar he played in the movie. The producers agreed to this approach. Do you want to ask for it back now?
Cameron laughed: "Don't be nervous, I'm not going to take them back, but I'm going to borrow them. Because I just had an idea about the opening and ending of a movie and I need to use them, and I will return them to you when the production is completed. "
"When the opening and closing credits?"
"Yes, I don't want to use the traditional opening and ending, I'm going to use some creative content." Cameron burst out a spark of thinking in the editing, "I plan to point the camera at a notebook for the opening, and let Patrick use The pen writes the names of the main cast and crew on the paper, and flips the paper while writing, the pursuit is simplicity."
"As for the end of the film, I plan to put the photos taken before one by one, and use the documentary to create a sense of real history, so that the audience will feel very nostalgic and comfortable, and can restore that period of time."
Eve was a little surprised, "Sounds very interesting, do you need me to bring them all?"
"Of course, we'll pick and choose when the time comes, as long as there's enough time for one song. Maybe you can come and shoot this segment, and use your first-person perspective to make the audience feel like it's Petunia Lane looking at these photos Nostalgia."
"No problem, I'd love to!"
The interesting opening and ending credits will add a lot of color to the film, and this way of ending is a bit of an easter egg, allowing the audience to see different characters in the movie, they are all real ordinary people.
I also sleep, get tired, be funny, and get angry. This way of adding photos to the ending song is more interesting.
