Chapter 206
David Lynch's films have a great market in Europe, and the Cannes Film Festival has added bonuses. In addition, the acclaim and heated discussions in North America have already made audiences in other parts of the world eager to move.
Although many people don't like the taste of American audiences, usually a movie that does well at the box office in North America will not fare badly overseas, unless there are really big cultural differences.
"Mulholland Drive" is a literary story with a Hollywood story as the shell. The rest of the world is very curious about Hollywood, the world's movie capital, so instead of having no cultural differences, it adds a bit of attraction.
That's what Hollywood is all about!
Although the publishing rights have been sold, the box office will still be calculated uniformly.
The United Kingdom and France have become the largest overseas box office markets for films. Europe, East Asia, and Australia contributed 8000 million US dollars to the box office, bringing "Mulholland Drive" to a global box office of 1.8 million US dollars.
As a literary film, it is indeed a huge profit!
Those film distribution companies that bought the distribution rights almost made a lot of money and made huge profits from it.
How many commercial blockbusters can't reach this box office level!
For the producers, the distribution rights in the big market are still there, and the box office in North America, the United Kingdom, France and other places will be distributed according to the normal ratio.
The success at the box office is rare, and the artistic success of "Mulholland Drive" has made the film famous in the entire film history!

……
Eve didn't know that the movie she starred in would leave a strong mark in film history. She is currently completing the self-cultivation of a model under the guidance of a cameraman.
"If I want to shoot the whole body, you should move your body and stretch your limbs to show your beauty. If you want to shoot close-ups, you should use your eyes and expressions to express. This is your strength. I need to see a story. With the look in your eyes, you can make up a little story for each outfit."
"Make up a story?" Eve was a little happy when she heard it. She is good at making up brains. It may be difficult to make her look hard, but she can give what kind of eyes she wants, and her emotions can be fully integrated. to the current shooting state.
Photographer Mario Testino nodded, "I want to see your vitality, you are so young, so beautiful, you have a pair of beautiful blue eyes, your face is very suitable for photography, the structure is very good."
Armani is not perfunctory, but wants to shoot the advertisement of Eve and Keanu well, so as not to waste this time's heat, and do a good job of marketing.
Mario is a photographer who specializes in taking pictures of brands and celebrities. He is the photographer appointed by Princess Diana. He takes pictures for well-known magazines such as "Vogue", "Vanity Fair", "People" and "Time". Advertisement shooter for Burberry, Ralph Lauren, Versace and other luxury brands.
This photographer from Peru has a good affinity, and will bring smooth and beautiful pictures with special perspective and composition, and can show the most unique beauty of every girl.
He likes the youthful fashion sense of Eve very much, and the shooting will definitely be positive, not decadent, broken, fragile or full of neurosis.
Eve has also photographed the covers and inside pages of some magazines. She is not afraid of the camera, but dares to look at the camera bravely, and communicates with the camera with her eyes and expressions.
Now she is wearing a lady's suit, leaning on the motorcycle, posing amazing poses with her exaggerated flexibility, her waist is soft, her limbs are slender, and at the same time, she has a chic face.
Mario took the camera and clicked to shoot. He didn't expect Eve to understand his request so quickly. This simple and modern shape is really in line with the brand characteristics of Armani!
Eve's shape is very delicate, she is glamorous under the lens of the camera, and she uses a suit to deduce the rare handsome and domineering, full of personality.
At this time, Eve is not rigid and fixed on the motorcycle. Her whole body is actually moving and changing dynamically, allowing the photographer to capture the most beautiful moments in the dynamic.
"Great, give me another sharp look."
"Perfect."
"Change to another dress. That dress suits you very well, and it will definitely give you a better shot."
It is not easy to make money. Eve not only needs to change her clothes, but also her hairstyle and makeup.
In order to shoot this dress, dry ice was even shipped to the scene, in order to capture the looming temptation.
Eve has put aside all her concerns, her whole body is slightly tilted, and her body presents a strange stretching feeling, with one hand supporting her waist, and the other hand is raised to press the brim of the hat, and at the same time He looked down at the camera that was taking pictures of himself, with a slight smile on his lips.
Taking this type of photo is not as serious as on the red carpet. Dynamic and expressiveness are very important.
Especially when shooting her last big skirt, Eve was taken directly to a private beach in Los Angeles. There were no tourists here, only delicate sandy beaches and sparkling blue sea.
She is posing on the beach, in order to find that kind of free and happy state, and there are people playing music on the side, just to infect that kind of happy atmosphere.
The sea breeze was blowing, the skirt and hair were blown back, the heels of the high heels had sunk into the sand, Eve simply faced the direction of the sea breeze, and leaned back, as if being bent by the wind waist.
The flowing long skirt is perfectly interpreted in this state, the skirt and the characters are extremely beautiful, the only problem is that Eve leaned over and fell directly on the beach.
If it's flat ground, you can still stabilize your body and lower your waist, but the shoes on the beach can't stabilize at all.
The costume stylist and hair stylist rushed up to slap the sand off her body, but everyone including her couldn't stop laughing. It was a beautiful move, but it still hurt a little when it fell.
Mario likes the tension in Eve very much. He snapped dozens of photos when Eve fell backwards, and several of them were very good. The girl knew that her body had lost its center of gravity. Balanced, but there was no fear or worry on his face.
These four looks of Eve were shot both in the studio and in real scenes, and each look has a sense of freshness.
"To be honest, I feel like I am shooting a magazine cover for the American edition of "Vogue". You are not inferior to those supermodels. Your eyes and expression are too brilliant. I am looking forward to the next cooperation with you." Mario gave Eve a hug, and he couldn't wait to go back and fix these wonderful photos.
Eve said happily: "I think your guidance is very good, and the next cooperation should not be too far away."
"Actually, this group of photos is really suitable to be published on the cover. It's a pity to use it for advertising!"
"Maybe I'll do better next time."
At the beginning, Armani said that he would work hard to push himself on the cover of the magazine. It just so happens that "Mulholland Drive" is very popular now, and he has won the Cannes Best Actress. It seems that the possibility of being on the cover is very high.
The brand side is regarded as the patron of various fashion magazines, and various luxury brands have to place a large number of advertisements every year, so it is reasonable to support their spokesperson on the cover of the magazine.
However, magazines will also look at whether the spokesperson is good enough to be on their cover, and will not lower the level or produce negative effects.
Presumably Vogue will also be very willing to be the first magazine to announce that Eve and Keanu are the endorsements of Armani, which will bring huge exposure to the magazine!
No one really makes a magazine for art, art is just the propaganda they use to wrap the magazine, and the ultimate goal is to sell the magazine and sell their own ideas to readers.
Eve is very popular now, and Keanu is a super star. The two of them endorse a brand together, and they will definitely make headlines in entertainment.
But in the next time, she will devote all her attention to the shooting of the new film. If she wants to shoot a magazine cover, she must make an appointment in advance. Eve doesn't know if Armani is willing to wait.
