[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 20 The Dust Settles

No one is born perfect, there will always be all kinds of glitches.Whether it is an actor or an actress, they don't want to expose their shortcomings in front of the camera.

Fortunately, the original owner grew up in a middle-class family, her posture was not too bad, and her teeth were corrected during puberty, so now she is here to train her posture.

Many people are obviously good-looking and have a good figure, but they are embarrassed to be on camera. The clothes look like a monkey wearing a crown, without any sense of luxury. This is the impact of poor posture.

"The back is straight, the chin is slightly tightened, and the arms hang naturally at the sides..."

In the dance practice room, a group of young girls, led by a middle-aged woman, stood facing the mirror.

Eve has never had a similar experience, and her back is sore and tight, but looking at herself in the mirror, she becomes confident and generous, and all the hard work is worth it!

There is no air conditioner in the room, and the sweat is flowing down the cheeks to the neck. She really hopes that the teacher of manners will take the sitting posture class as soon as possible, at least not so that the legs are sore.

Right now, she is training in basic items. If she needs to act in a high society or aristocrat, she will do a surprise training on various etiquettes before filming starts.You have to change everything from speaking, looking at others, and walking, let alone eating or drinking.

If you want to play a role well, you have to be prepared, even if the average audience may not even know that actors have done these things.

Eve had taught herself yoga in her previous life, and she practiced it at home when she had nothing to do. She didn't want the size 26 jeans in her closet to fit.

"Our training is over today. Girls, you have to pay attention to your posture all the time. Keep reminding yourself until it becomes a habit. Tomorrow we will practice how to walk, how to present ourselves on the red carpet, remember to bring a dress Standby." The middle-aged woman clapped her hands and said something that made everyone feel relieved.

"Great."

"Finally I can rest, I'm exhausted."

"Is training this really useful?"

"I have to get a Thai massage and my back is cramping."

"And you, what are your plans? We can have lunch together."

Eve and the others have practiced here for three full days, and they can be regarded as brothers and sisters, getting acquainted with each other.She looked at the pretty Linda and explained, "Sorry, my manager has something to do with me, and he's already waiting at the door."

Linda's eyes shone with envy, "Congratulations, you must have received a good role."

"I don't know the specifics, see you tomorrow." Eve and her were just nodding acquaintances, not at all familiar with going to lunch together.Maybe it's the vigilance left over from being in the entertainment industry in her previous life. She is always wary of this type of familiar people, and always feels that there will be troublesome people to harm me.

Eve turned and waved away. She came here to study, not to make friends.

Robert's car didn't turn off, and he was sitting in the driver's seat blowing on the air conditioner. He even swayed to the music on the radio, and didn't notice anyone approaching at all.

"bang bang bang"

Eve tapped on the car window with her finger.

Robert rolled down the window glass, excited: "Oh, you are finally out. I have good news for you."

"good news?"

Eve walked around from the front of the car to the passenger seat, opened the car door and sat in, turning her head to wait for the trial.

"Kirsten chose another project and got her coveted $500 million salary and 5% of the North American box office share. That is to say, your biggest competitor voluntarily chose to give up. New Line producer Clay Ge just called me and asked me to take you to their company to sign the contract."

"Are you sure? I can really star in "Death Comes"?" Eve couldn't help but burst into a smile. She wished she could fly directly to New Line Films and sign the contract quickly, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

Robert could understand Eve's current mood. When he was connected to the TV in the office, he stood up from his chair as if he was electrocuted. "That's right, New Line finally chose you, so you must prepare well. Although the salary this time is not much, I have helped you get some subsidies and treatment. The place to live will not be lower than a four-star hotel. After the shooting time is over Remuneration calculated on a daily basis."

"Now the outside world is not optimistic about our movie. You must act well, and you must not be the one who drags you down. Otherwise, the anger of film critics and audiences will rush towards you and make you pay for the box office failure."

Any movie that fails will find a scapegoat.

Eve is very sure that this "Death Comes" has the potential to become a dark horse at the box office, otherwise she would not have made many sequels, and the burden and pressure in her heart are not as heavy as Robert's.

"Especially now that Kirsten's new film is also a horror thriller. When it is released, the distributors on both sides will not let go of this good opportunity for hype. Everyone will look at your performance with a magnifying glass. A little unsatisfactory will let you down. The critics were sarcastic."

The heroine is not so easy to be, and when it needs to be used to stir up popularity, it will never be forgotten by the publisher.

It just so happened that Eve didn't drive over today, and she was a little curious after putting on her seat belt: "What is Kirsten's new project?"

The other party is a star standing at the top of the second line, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about not having a movie, and the negotiation with the new line has just collapsed here, and the contract has already been signed over there.

Robert also did a simple investigation beforehand. Miramax did not hide it at all. Instead, he was planning to hold a press conference. While driving the vehicle, he replied: "Her team is very powerful, and she will directly go to Miramax In terms of relationship, Weinstein's distribution and publicity capabilities are very strong. This is the third film in the series called "The Raven Warrior". The global box office of the first two films has exceeded 1.7 million US dollars. Ten thousand copies, and the soundtrack of the movie has also been on the Billboard best-selling list, which can be said to be very popular."

Eve once again felt confused. She was not in the same circle in her previous life, and she didn't know this series of movies at all.Perhaps only after the movie is released, will I know whether I have watched it or not.

But after thinking about it, I realized that the success of other people's movies has nothing to do with me, as long as "Death Comes" can be successful!

The urban area of ​​Los Angeles is actually not that big. Eve and Robert soon appeared on the side of New Line Films, and CAA's long-term cooperation lawyers were already in place.

The signing ceremony was very simple, the director didn't even show up, just the producer as a representative signed an actor employment agreement with Eve.

The filming time is expected to be one month, and the remuneration is 5 US dollars, which will be divided into three payments, which are 40%, 30%, and 30% respectively after the contract is signed, after the filming, and after the release.

In other words, when Eve signed her name, she could theoretically get a $2 paycheck immediately.

However, CAA will immediately withdraw 10%, which is 2 US dollars, and it has to make up for the training course money that Robert helped her advance, so there is still 1.5 US dollars in hand.

This is the advantage of playing the leading actress, even if the salary is low, you can still have tens of thousands of dollars.If you play a supporting role or a supporting role, it may only cost tens of dollars a day.

Craig Perry looked at the flattered girl in front of him, and pointedly said: "We have already selected the male lead, and we plan to leave for New York to shoot in a week. You'd better finish the script well, especially Claire's character design." Definitely, she is not an ordinary girl, she can repair cars, use electric welding and so on."

"Don't worry, Mr. Perry. I'll go back and work on the script now, and at the same time, I'll ask Robert to help me find a suitable place to experience the electric welding projects, so as to ensure that there will be no mistakes during filming."

Although I don't know how much Claire's role will be deleted in the movie, but I must act well by myself. Even the director does not have the final editing rights, so she naturally does not know what effect will be presented in the end.

"I believe that everyone will work together to make a good movie." Craig shook hands with Eve and others one by one, "See you in New York next week!"

Eve held a copy of the contract in her hand, and she didn't even know how she got back to the car, as if she was stepping on clouds with every step.

Robert said solemnly: "I know you want to celebrate now, but the shooting is only a week away, so don't forget about it by drinking at the bar. As for the welding and other engineering matters, I will go back and find someone to ask. Sure to let you experience and learn in a few hours."

"I just read the script at home, and I won't go out to celebrate. Let's save the celebration after I finish filming." Eve was very clear-headed, and the two generations only got a chance to play the heroine of the movie.

She will never go to the bar to dance disco or hangover, she must adjust her physical and mental state.

The thick stack of scripts in her hand made her feel itchy, and she wished she could start now.

Eve simply opened the co-pilot's window, let the strong wind blow on her cheeks, and hummed a little song briskly.The first step in Hollywood is fairly safe, and an unrestrained smile emerges.

Robert sent Eve back to the neighborhood where she rented the house, and he went back to CAA to deal with the follow-up matters.

At this time, the stairs were empty, and Eve, who was in a state of excitement, changed from her usual steady state and jumped up and down the stairs. The stairs seemed to be shorter because of her good mood.

Eve just opened the door, and a man in sportswear came out from 308, it was Josh Duhamel!

"Hi, good afternoon."

"Good afternoon, are you going out to exercise?"

Josh waved his arm, "Yes, you can't train too many muscles when you are a model. Now let's see if you can turn to an action actor. I heard that action actors have relatively low requirements for acting skills."

"Then work hard, and I wish you to become Schwarzenegger as soon as possible." Eve felt that Josh had found a suitable path, and being an action actor just made use of his strengths and avoided his weaknesses.

"I still like Jean-Claude Van Damme." Josh said as he walked.

Both deliberately avoided mentioning the audition a few days ago.

After Eve got the heroine, she didn't want to show off, let alone irritate her neighbor.
