Chapter 231 Star Superstar Award
For New Line Films, this movie, which was originally aimed at women in the direction of romantic love, has changed.
Not only is there a surge in box office potential, but there's also the ability to disrupt awards season.
The production cost of the film is actually not low, because Eve converted all her salary into post-production dividends, which can save tens of millions of dollars in costs.
Among all the actors, only Christian Bale's salary will be in the millions, and the other two old actors will only be paid in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The cost is very well controlled, and there is enough money for shooting and post-production.
Tomorrow, Eve will not be present at the signing ceremony between Bell and New Line Films. Her work in this area has already been completed, and how to negotiate with the other party's agent will be under the jurisdiction of Mark Johnson.
Back home with a tired but excited body, Eve was thinking about the necessity of an accent coach.
Although they are all English, the accents of the British, Americans, and Australians are completely different, and the pronunciation methods are very different, which can be heard at a glance.
Now her acting skills are not far behind the top actors, but her accent is still relatively weak, she can only speak American English, and she still has a California accent.
Many acting masters can switch freely and smoothly, which can better integrate with the movie.
It can even be said that switching accents is completely a must-have for Hollywood actors!
What accent to say depends on the character settings.
Just like the accents of the British aristocrats and the British working class are definitely different, although they are both British accents.
In the United States, there are also Boston accents, southern accents, and New York accents.
One more thing is added to the learning list. Actors are always on the way of learning. Good acting skills can not make up for everything. The necessary skills are still needed.
Just like if Eve wants to learn how to play the piano for the movie, even if he only plays two fixed pieces, he still has to learn how to press his fingers and how to read the score, not just randomly pressing on the keys.
Fortunately, the shooting started for a long time, so she had enough time to make up for these shortcomings.
It happens that I am a little bored after filming every day, so I can use these studies to pass the time.If you don't work hard when you are young, it will be too late to regret it when you are old.
Silently sent the report to the agent Robert via text message, and asked him to arrange the time.
Eve herself wandered around in the villa, just to find a place to put the piano, but now it can only be placed in the living room.
"This house is too small for two people to live in. If we buy another house, we have to use a room as a musical instrument room."
She now needs a place to learn the piano, and Keanu needs a soundproof room that won't disturb her neighbors when she plays guitar and bass.
"Buy, buy, buy after the dividends come down!"
She still wants to contribute independently at this time, and has no idea of paying with Keanu.
After choosing the location, Eve didn't buy the piano impulsively, but wanted to ask the teacher what he thought, and see if he needed a Steinway or Yamaha for the first piano.
After eating and taking a bath, she half-lyed on the bed and rested. She checked the time and guessed that her boyfriend had already woken up before dialing the phone.
Sure enough, Keanu Reeves on the other end of the phone just happened to be sitting on the terrace with a cup of coffee admiring the beautiful scenery outside, and connected immediately after seeing the caller ID of the mobile phone.
"Honey, I have good news for you. I will be back the afternoon of the day after tomorrow."
Eve was a little surprised when she heard this, "That's great, why did it come a little earlier?"
"Because there will be a Blockbuster Superstar Awards ceremony on Friday, Warner felt that it was necessary for me to attend the awards ceremony, so as to build a good relationship with Blockbuster and prepare for the rental and sales of subsequent movies."
Of course Keanu is willing to come back early, this is not his leave, but the producer's request.
At this time, Blockbuster is still the industry leader, and the Blockbuster Superstar Award is voted by more than 2000 million movie fans around the world, representing the tastes of audiences all over the world.
Usually the people who can win this award are well-known existences. This is an entertainment event that the whole Hollywood participates in, not only the film industry, but also stars in the music and TV drama industries.
There are no big events in Hollywood in July, no matter who the star is, he will sell face to Blockbuster, unless he does not want his movie to be rented in the tens of thousands of stores of this institution.
This is the strength of the channel side. Even if they do not threaten the stars, it is enough to just greet the film producers and distributors, and these film companies will take the initiative to put pressure on the stars.
At this stage, Hollywood needs Blockbuster to earn profits. At the same time, Blockbuster also needs the film libraries of several major Hollywood companies. Only by being friendly with each other can we make money.
Eve said with a smile: "Sounds very good, this kind of popularity award should be easier for you, right?"
Unlike the Oscars, since the Blockbuster Superstar Awards are selected by so many audiences and movie fans, the greater the popularity and the more audiences who have watched the movie, the higher the number of votes it may get.
Whether you like it or not, you basically don't vote for movies you haven't seen.
"It's not easy. I was shortlisted for the Audience's Favorite Science Fiction Actor Award. Besides me, there are Arnold Schwarzenegger in "The End of the Devil" and Ewan Mack in "Star Wars Prequel". Rego and Liam Neeson."
After Eve heard these familiar names, she was almost sure of the final winner of the award, because in comparison, "The Matrix" had more actors and more prominent protagonists, and it was considered a phenomenon-level movie.
Even though the box office of Star Wars in North America and Europe is quite good, in the final analysis, what everyone likes is the story and background of Star Wars, not the actors in it.
"I thought you would also participate. I remember that when I saw the nomination list, your name was on it." Keanu got up and walked into the room, "Let me find the detailed list sent by Warner."
Eve was a little surprised, "I'm also nominated? Is it true?"
She hadn't heard that at all.
"See. You've got two nominations, one more than me." Keanu said, "You're shortlisted for Favorite Horror Thriller Actress, Sleepy Hollow's Christina Richie, Catherine Zeta-Jones in "The Haunting" and Patricia Arquette in "The Stigmata." Among them, Catherine is a menace to you, and she was also shortlisted for the audience's favorite action movie actress."
The famous Catherine Zeta-Jones surprised audiences around the world in "The Mask of Zorro". Last year, she collaborated with the original 007 Sean Connery in "The Trap" and got engaged to Michael Douglas. .
The other two shortlisted actors are hard to compare with Eve and Catherine in terms of popularity.
"What is my other nomination?"
She was a little curious, and while listening to her boyfriend talking on the phone, she walked from the bed to the computer desk and pressed the power button, ready to check her mailbox.
Who knew that Keanu on the other end of the phone suddenly said, "Oops!"
"What happened?"
"I don't know which one of you should be rooting for. Among the most popular new actresses, you were nominated for "Reaper" and "Missing Girl", but Carrey was also nominated for "The Matrix" won this award."
"You mean Carrie-Ann Moss? She should have made TV and movies before "The Matrix", right?" Eve never expected that the heroine of The Matrix was also shortlisted for this award.
Keanu recalled it carefully, and replied: "Maybe she played small roles, and this time Trinity officially let her into everyone's eyes."
"There seems to be no problem with this understanding."
"Speaking of which, your competition this time is quite fierce. There are Mina Suvari who starred in "American Pie" and "American Beauty", as well as Heather Donahue, the heroine of "The Blair Witch", " "Tootsie" star Rachel Leigh Cook and "Shark of the Deep" star Saffron Burrows."
Eve is not familiar with the names of these actors, on the contrary, she knows more about the movies they have acted in.
Blockbuster divides the actors in such a detailed way to allow more stars to attend, to allow more stars to go on stage to receive awards, so that there will be topics and ratings.
For example, movies are divided into several categories: drama, comedy, action, romance, horror, sci-fi, suspense, and animation. All the popular movie stars and movies of last year are nominated, and they really don’t miss out.
In each type of nomination list, there is at least one or several first-line stars.
It really deserves to be called the Blockbuster Superstar Award, and the actors who can win the award are definitely superstars!
Two generations of 007 face off in the best action movie, Pierce Brosnan in "007: The Black Sun" PK Sean Connery in "The Trap", and Mel Gibson and the actor in "The Mummy" Master Brande - Fisher watching from the side.
Among the most popular comedians, Adam Sandler, Jim Carrey, Robin Williams, Tim Allen and other comedians gathered together.
In romantic movies, Ben Affleck competes with Hugh Grant and Richard Gere, two of whom are in films with Julia Roberts, the former in Notting Hill and the latter in "Runaway Bride", Roberts may become the biggest winner!
Tom Hanks, Al Pacino, Denzel Washington, Kevin Spacey, four Oscar-winners gathered for the most popular drama actors, the list is extremely luxurious.
There are also Tom Cruise, Kevin Costner, and Pierce Brosnan competing for the best actor in a love drama movie, and Johnny Depp, Liam Neeson and other horror thriller nominations are extremely luxurious, Bruce Willie The most popular actor in the suspense category, Matt Damon and Tommy Lee Jones, is also in fierce competition.
It can be said that almost all first-line male movie stars who released new movies last year were shortlisted for this award.
And in terms of actresses are also not weak, led by Julia - Roberts, Rachel - Weisz, Natalie - Portman, Catherine - Zeta - Jones, Heather - Graham, Sigourney - Weaver , Drew Barrymore, Sandra Bullock, Angelina Jolie, Cameron Diaz, Meryl Streep, Anne Bening, Sophie Marceau, Vivian Nona Ryder, Nicole Kidman, Robin Wright, Gwen Paltrow and many more are nominated.
Plus Mariah Carey, Ruffian Eminem, Britney Spears, Christina Aquinas, Superboy, LLcoolJ, Will Smith, Whitney Houston, Enrique, Jimmy - Fox, Cher stars, the entire nomination list is extremely luxurious!
If half of the people attended the scene, the starlight would be even brighter than the Oscars!
The audience probably couldn't count the stars, and couldn't see them at all.
Hollywood's first-tier and second-tier stars were almost wiped out, except for some less active actors.
The reason why these people can be regarded as stars is because they are loved by so many audiences all over the world!
And Eve has also become one of them, and may get her first Blockbuster Superstar Award.
It has been held five times before, and the winners of almost every time are well-deserved stars, all of whom deserve their names, and there is no problem at all.
Keanu didn't want to go to the awards ceremony alone, so he has been encouraging his girlfriend to come together, so that the awards ceremony will also be very interesting.
"I'll call Robert tomorrow to see what's going on. If I can spare time, let's go and have a look together." Eve found the contents of the e-mail at this moment, which Robert sent to himself a few days ago At that time, I thought it was an ordinary award, so I didn't open it to take a look.
In addition to awards season, she is usually shortlisted for a series of awards such as MTV Movie Awards, Teen Choice Awards, and People's Choice Awards.
Of course, it is impossible to go to every award, because the frequency of exposure is too high, so we can only participate selectively.
After Keanu got his girlfriend's words, he was very happy, and then he suddenly realized, "I almost forgot, what are you calling to tell me?"
After answering the phone, I babbled a lot, but forgot to ask the most important thing.
"Actually, nothing major happened. It's just that I found a suitable actor for "The Notebook", and now the crew has decided to go to Charleston to shoot in January next year."
Eve just wanted to hear her boyfriend's voice and find someone to share the trivial things in life, otherwise the house would be very deserted.
Keanu asked curiously, "Who is it, do I know it?"
"Christian Bale, I don't know if you've heard of it."
These two people should not be actors in the same period. When Keanu became popular, Bell should be an adult.
Unexpectedly, Keanu replied straightforwardly: "Of course I know. You and his wife should be very familiar. Hebby and you have been in the same crew for more than two months."
Now it's Eve's turn to be surprised, how he knew Bell's wife and worked with her.
There are so many people named Shebe in Hollywood, but I only know one woman named Shebe Blachick.
"I'm on the same crew as her? I know Winona's assistant, and her name is also Xibi."
"Bingo, that's her."
"what???"
Eve's little head was full of great confusion. She never imagined that the two irrelevant people were actually lovers and married!
Winona's assistant was always on the set when she was filming "The Girl Who Moved the Soul", so Eve would know Shebby, and because of her alumni, she would chat with her occasionally when Winona was not around.
Like her, Hibee graduated from the University of Southern California, except that Eve is from the School of Film Arts, while Hibey is from the School of Science.
At that time, Matt Damon often came to visit Winona, but Shebby never mentioned the boyfriend, so Eve only now knows the relationship between the two.
Hollywood is too small!
Keanu thought that Eve knew about it a long time ago, so he slowly explained: "Hebby is not only Winona's assistant, but also her good friend, and she can often see her at parties. About them I don’t know much about the love story, it seems that they were introduced during the filming of "Little Women", they have been in love for several years, and they only got married in January this year. After marriage, they no longer work as Winona's assistant."
"That's right, that's right, I found out at the Oscars. I thought Shebby just changed jobs, but I didn't expect to marry Bell."
Eve suddenly realized, no wonder Bell wants to make a romantic movie, the feeling is that married needs to support a family!
There are still things in Hollywood where stars fall in love with assistants and get married, but usually they are with their own assistants or nanny, not with other people's assistants.
She thought silently, maybe if she meets Winona again at the Blockbuster Superstar Awards Ceremony, she should gossip about this story with her.
"That's a poor guy. Last time, Hibi was still complaining about Bell's family. His mother and sister have been sucking blood from him like parasites. I hope he can go on with Hibi and run a good family."
Although Keanu's own family is also in some troubles, his mother and younger sister are very worry-free and have a very close relationship.
Eve thought for a while and said with a smile: "That's fine, he's married, and I'm in love. If you make a romantic movie, the media and the audience shouldn't be fantasizing about real life, so as not to make up some troublesome things come out."
Movies belong to movies, reality belongs to reality, and it is best to be able to distinguish clearly.
"Don't have too high expectations for the media." Keanu looked at Sam who knocked on the door and came in, and then looked at the time on his watch. The call actually lasted almost four or ten minutes.
"Honey, I'm sorry that I have to go to the set. You should go to bed early, because you still have shooting tasks tomorrow."
Eve looked at the time displayed in the lower right corner of the computer, and it was almost morning!
"Yes, I should go to bed, otherwise I will definitely have dark circles tomorrow. Bye, I love you."
"I love you too, we will meet again in our dreams."
She hung up the phone, picked up the phone and put it on the bedside, then turned off the computer, lay comfortably on the bed, and began to look forward to the arrival of the awards ceremony.
