[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 191

Being an actor is hard, being an actress is even harder.

Eve is now facing such an embarrassing period. She doesn't have a role in the leading heroine movie, so she can only play the lead actress in the male lead movie.

The only major heroine genre—romantic movies—has gone from bad to worse, but even that is in short supply.

Eve was lucky, she had already decided on the movie "Legally Blonde", and now she wants to develop another movie, even if the box office may not be too high, but as long as it doesn't lose money.

Romance movies that don’t lose money can go a long way in the disc market and the home on-demand market, and slowly make money in a few years or ten years, accumulating a little.

What she is thinking now is that after she plays Ellie in "The Notebook", who will play Adam?

The original movie in Time and Space was only released in 2004. At that time, both the male and female leading actors were Canadians. Now, as a producer, Eve really needs to think carefully about the male lead candidate.

The most important thing in a love movie is casting. If there is no chemical reaction between the hero and heroine, the whole movie will be ruined.

Of course, Eve can't decide on casting alone, it depends on New Line Cinema's thinking, and I don't know if I can make a decision in the end.

When acting in this movie, anyway, the leading actor couldn’t be a big-name actor, nor would he choose an actor younger than Eve.

There are many Hollywood actors born in the 70s, but there must be many inappropriate ones after screening.

Some actors have a more gentle temperament, and they cannot perform the feeling of an American country boy.

The time span of the movie is a bit long, with a reunion when they were young, and a reunion 7 years later.

Leonardo, the most famous actor born in the 20s, will obviously not appear in this movie. Tobey Maguire looks slightly weaker, with a standard baby face. He can still play the role of high school student Peter Parker in his [-]s. It doesn't fit Eve overall.

"Forget it, let's get the project out first. It's too far away to think about actors now."

Eve is not fighting alone today, she will be with two agents, mainly to see if New Line Pictures has any intentions in this regard.

If you are interested, then continue to talk.

If people simply bought copyrights and hoarded them, then naturally there is no need to waste time and energy.

Returning to Warner Film Studios, Eve's situation has changed a lot.

She pointed to the sidewalk outside the studio over there, and said to Robert and Evan: "There was a photo of me running barefoot here before, and it was to participate in the audition for "Death Comes"."

"Just talking about this movie, there are posters over there." Evan pointed to the entrance of the studio, and each studio would post the names or posters of the films shot here.

Of course, only movies with good box office or good reputation can get this kind of treatment. Of course, the names of those movies that are tepid, loss-making, and nobody pays attention to are not eligible to be recorded.

"Yeah, it's only a year away, but we've made such great progress now, it's really rare." Robert sighed a little, he had never brought such a fast-moving actor.

I was still auditioning for a role last year, and this year I am already qualified to talk to the film company about film development.

Eve spread her hands and said with a smile, "This is Hollywood, anything can happen."

Miracles will always happen in this land, otherwise it would not be possible for so many people to follow.

She was relatively slow to become famous, relying on one film after another to gradually become famous, and some monsters were born out of nowhere, which surprised the whole Hollywood.

Evan walked forward and said, "You made the right choice to enter Hollywood."

The office building of New Line Cinema is not luxurious, the small four-storey building looks very inconspicuous, if you pass by rashly, you will have no idea that this is the origin of many movies.

When the front desk lady in the lobby saw Eve coming in, her eyes lit up slightly.

Today's Eve is wearing a lace and chiffon dress. The overall feeling is beautiful. The golden hair is draped over the shoulders. The overall body is slender and has a perfect golden ratio. It looks like a haute couture, exuding a romantic and elegant look. breath.

"Miss Campbell, this way please. Mr. Harris' office is on the third floor. After you go up, a staff member will take you to his office."

"Thanks for reminding."

"You're welcome."

Eve's appointment with Lynn Harris had already been registered in the book at the front desk, so she was recognized when she first came in, and she didn't need to introduce herself at all.

The front desk lady brought a group of three people to the elevator entrance, watched the elevator door slowly close before returning to her seat, and then quietly sent a text message to the familiar reporter on her mobile phone: "Eve Campbell is going to New Zealand today. Line Films met with the production supervisor Lin En, not sure whether to discuss the matter of "Reaper 2" or the new film."

After sending it, she put her phone away, and then she had a slight smile on her face, because this news might add thousands of dollars to her bank card.

The salary of the front desk is not high, and she is not satisfied with her life after being used to the luxury of Hollywood, and she can make money by occasionally providing such innocuous news to the media, so she is unwilling to change jobs even though she has the opportunity to be promoted or change jobs. .

Eve was wearing bright lipstick and wearing high heels. At this time, an elegant dress was taken out of the air of a big sister, and the two managers in suits next to her became younger brothers.

"Mr. Harris and Mr. Johnson are chatting inside. The front desk has informed you just now, just open the door and enter." The secretary pointed to the closed office door. Will not express the slightest.

"Johnson?"

Eve didn't know much about this surname, and she thought she was a person in charge or a producer of New Line Films. After a little doubt, she opened the door and walked in.

In the office at this time, a gray-haired elderly man and a middle-aged man were chatting, and when they saw Eve who opened the door, they looked at Eve with probing eyes at the same time.

"Miss Campbell, I'm finally waiting for you. Why don't you sit down and talk?" Lynn Harris shook hands with her, pointed to the old man next to him and said, "This is Mark Johnson, he is "The Notebook" One of the copyright owners has been preparing for it since buying the adaptation rights, and it has been three years now."

Originally, Lynn Harris didn’t know that Eve’s goal was this book, but Mark Johnson approached her and said that the actress Eve Campbell had contacted the book publisher and the author’s copyright agency and wanted to discuss it. This actor is not suitable for the movie.

After all the things were put together, Lynn discovered that there was still such a good thing in his company's copyright library.

Since both parties are interested in the "Lian Lian Notebook" project, let's just bring them together and see if they can spark a spark of thinking.

Evan Stoff didn't know who Johnson the secretary was talking about at first, but when he walked in and saw Mark, his eyes lit up and he immediately identified the man.

Even movie buffs may not be able to recognize the behind-the-scenes workers, only colleagues can understand each other's excellence.

The Mark Johnson in front of him is a well-known person who has won the Oscar for Best Picture. The "Rain Man" starring Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise was made by this master.

In recent years, he has not retired because of his age, but has continued to make movies, such as "Great World", "Galaxy Explosion", "Perfect World" and other good films were born.

If the film is at the helm of this producer, the probability of success will definitely be greatly increased!

It's a pity that it's not convenient to talk now, otherwise Evan Stoff must repeatedly ask Eve to take the project down.

"Miss Campbell, are you interested in this?"

"That's right, when I bought this book in a bookstore and read it, I felt an inexplicable shock. It is said that first love is one of the most unforgettable memories of a person. Who doesn't want to grow old with their first love? "

Eve readily admitted that she didn't hide it.

The purpose of coming here is for "Lianlian Notebook", not only to participate in the performance, but also to participate in the production!

"It's true. I can't forget this story after I saw it back then. What's special about it is that it's romantic and enduring."

"Yes, its story is very moving. It is not the kind of content that will be forgotten after reading it. It will bring people continuous shock."

Lynn looked at Eve and asked, "Miss Campbell should be from the middle class, right? Can you draw, ballet, French, play the piano, etc.?"

The heroine Ellie in the movie is a girl from the upper class, who received the so-called elite education, and met a boy from the bottom of the country.

"In fact, I have learned painting, but I am too far away from being an artist. I don't know ballet or French, but I have some experience with piano. If I can play this role, I will definitely study hard."

Eve is not the old lady. She learned her painting skills when she was in college. Directors need to learn color and drawing. Although someone can help with the storyboard script, it is best to do it yourself, so that you can achieve the desired effect. Things show up.

"We haven't made the film because we didn't think we could find the right lead. Miss Campbell you seem like a good fit for the role, but we haven't evaluated the project yet so it may take some time before we see results."

"It's okay, I'm going to leave Los Angeles for a while recently, please let me know if this project can be established. I like this story very much, and I would be very happy to be a part of it if I have the opportunity."

She didn't talk about any substantive content, but she could see that New Line Films did have the idea of ​​making this movie, and now she has successfully become the first candidate.

The only problem is that the copyright of this film is actually jointly held by Mark Johnson and New Line Films, so the possibility of inserting himself as a producer is much smaller.

The other party seems to have come prepared, but just wants to be the heroine, and even the leading role is a bit unstable.

Eve sighed secretly in her heart. As expected, she was thinking too simply. With the foreshadowing of the previous two films, she thought that she would become a producer.

"Then you are going to participate in the Cannes Film Festival, right? I will also go to Cannes at that time, looking forward to your performance." Lynn said, he will go to the Cannes film market.

New Line Cinema not only produces its own films, but also buys the distribution rights of some films, and distributes the rest of the films to make money when there are no films of its own.

Lynn is actually waiting for the performance of "Mulholland Drive". This film, which is highly valued by the film festival, is a strong contender for this year's Palme d'Or.

If Eve performed well enough and had enough influence, then she would consider her role in the movie.

If such a good story is not filmed, it is enough, and once it is filmed, it will go in the direction of classic love movies.

"That's right, it will appear when the film festival opens, and I'm looking forward to Mr. Harris' appearance." Eve didn't say that she was going to Australia for a tour.

She is very clear that the weight in her hands is too little, and there is nothing important to show at this time, and she cannot let these two people beg her to act.

Accumulation is too important, and this time Cannes is even more important!
