[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 236 Husband and wife ensemble

"I thought we could only meet before the red carpet, but I didn't expect you to come to pick me up."

Eve sat at the back and gently hugged Keanu's waist with her hands, her face was full of joy and joy.

Who doesn't like his boyfriend to drive to pick him up after get off work? Although it is just a motorcycle, it is actually more expensive than many four-wheeled cars.

Looking at the road ahead, Keanu didn't dare to lose his mind, and replied, "Anyway, I don't have anything to do after I come back, so I can spend more time with you."

The two were still in love, and they wished they could see each other sooner. At the same time, they were worried that their image would be too bad when they came back, so they took a shower and changed their clothes.

In Los Angeles at the end of July, except for the sunshine that dazzles the eyes, sitting on a motorcycle is comfortable.

Eve has been rushing to film these two days in order to get together with her boyfriend on weekends. For Hollywood actors, filming five days a week is considered a full-time job. She has gradually accepted and liked this kind of set up.

Although it is not necessarily true that work should be done within eight hours, it is absolutely necessary to commute to and from get off work on time, holidays and weekends are all off, otherwise overtime wages will be paid.

Even for an actor like her who has signed a contract, it is the same if the overtime pay is converted according to the daily salary, and the actor and the staff must agree to it. Otherwise, no one will work overtime if the money is paid.

Of course, Americans are not saying that they will not work overtime, but that there is a labor union supervisor who will calculate overtime pay. Even if overtime is paid, the maximum is 24 hours of shooting per day, and it is impossible to shoot for [-] hours or [-] hours in a row.

Sometimes the shooting cycle of a film is longer because there are more holidays. If the weekend rest time is deducted, the shooting will actually be shorter, especially for her current romantic movie.

Two to three months longer, and two to three weeks shorter, "Legal Blonde" has been filming for a month and a half now, and it has begun to wrap up.

According to the shooting schedule given by the scene, there are still two days to finish.

In other words, she can sleep comfortably at home next Wednesday, unless she needs to make up some scenes.

For Eve, there are three stages of filming that are very happy. One is getting the script, the other is starting to shoot, and finally the eve of the finale.

Keanu was very familiar with the streets around Hollywood. While riding a motorcycle, he asked, "When I came back today, I found that there was an extra piano at home. Are you learning this recently?"

The house is relatively small, so of course you can see something that big.

"I plan to learn to talk about a few simple tunes, which will be used in the movie. At that time, you will use the guitar and I will use the piano to perform on stage together."

"Okay, when the time comes, we will post the song anonymously and see if any listeners like it."

It is a very happy thing to make music with the one you love, and Keanu has no motivation to hit his girlfriend.

Eve also knows that this wish is far away, but it is not too late for people of any age to learn, as long as they are willing to do it.

The male protagonists all promised to live in Charleston for at least three months, to learn how to row a boat, how to be a carpenter, how to paint and renovate houses, and the accent of the locals.

It is reasonable for her to learn the necessary etiquette as a heroine, and she cannot be compared.

Obviously it is a romantic movie, but Christian Bale showed the drive to delve into master art movies, which may have a positive impact on the entire crew.

"Here, go and put on your makeup, time is tight."

Keanu parked the car in front of a beauty salon and locked the car.

Robert has been waiting here for a long time. He came out immediately after seeing Eve in the hall, "Thank God, you are finally here. I will let the makeup artist and hair stylist speed up."

"Don't worry, we can finish the styling." Eve said with relief, "I'm so beautiful, so I should be able to save a lot of time for the makeup artist."

"Haha, it's very funny." Robert said without changing his expression, not applauding the joke at all.

But Keanu agrees, "I think the makeup on the red carpet is thicker, it looks very graceful and luxurious."

"Do you think Eve didn't look good on the red carpet before?"

Robert silently buried a nail down.

"Of course not. She is perfect. No matter how she dresses up, she is the prettiest one. Didn't Vogue say that last year's award season was selected as the best red carpet look?" Keanu will not be easily framed, and he is not stupid.

Robert hurriedly pushed the two of them to their respective dressing rooms instead of chattering here.

After Eve put on her bathrobe, she was pinned on a chair and couldn't move. The hair stylist began to apply hairspray and pomade to her, while the makeup artist started to apply the base makeup on one side, and the manicurist was next to her. manicure for manicure and toenails.

It can be said that now everyone revolves around her alone, trying to make up for the lost time.

When she went to the Oscars, she had been preparing from the morning until the evening. Now there are only three hours left, so she is really nervous.

"Robert, can I ask a question?" Eve could only move her mouth and eyes, and couldn't see where the manager was at all.

"You said."

"There's a party after the awards show, have we been invited?"

"You mean Mr. Redstone's private party?"

"That's right." Eve nodded subconsciously, but was immediately held down by the makeup artist and hair stylist.

Robert nodded and said: "There is an invitation letter. After the awards ceremony, I will go to his mansion in Beverly Hills. It is estimated that only second-tier and above stars and behind-the-scenes producers in Hollywood have been invited. This boss wants Show your muscles, Paramount and CBS belong to one company, and this scale has almost caught up with Disney, Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation and Time Warner Group."

"Since there is an invitation, let's go to participate. Maybe one day we will cooperate with Paramount, and we also need to go to this kind of star-studded place to see and see."

After all, Eve's debut time is relatively short, and she has not cooperated with Paramount yet.

The same is true for Keanu, who cooperates more with other film companies, such as Warner.

Paramount cooperates more with famous directors such as Tom Cruise, Spielberg, and Julia Roberts.Although the various production companies no longer sign actors, they still have a fixed preference and even sign contracts for it.

Just like Paramount and Tom Cruise have cooperated in investment and distribution of movies, especially the "Mission: Impossible" series. Paramount has made more money from this series of movies than Tom Cruise!

If there is a suitable script and project, Eve is still willing to cooperate with such a big company. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention that the camel is still in its prime.

It will take more than ten years to become the bottom six companies, which cannot even be compared with companies such as Lions Gate, and they are not bad now.

Eve thought about it, and she said to the assistant: "Mandy, can you help me find the list of books that have been released in the latest few weeks? Or short stories in recent years, don't worry too much. I'll do."

From a life assistant to a work assistant, Eve was thinking about whether to raise Mandy's salary, and at the same time started preparations for her own film company.

For example, starting from renting a small office, she doesn't expect much from the film company at present, she just needs to participate in the production of the film she wants to star in, so she doesn't need any employees.

Both financial personnel and legal personnel can be directly employed temporarily.The purpose of setting up a film company now is to store IP copyrights and scripts. Even if I can't shoot myself in the future, it is completely feasible to cooperate with other companies.

Copyright is very important in the future, and more and more movies are adapted based on movies, comics, and games.

The fiction and non-fiction categories of the New York Times bestseller list are already well-known, but those with a slight tendency to film and television adaptations have already been favored by large companies, and it is difficult to compete.

Therefore, some special themes or works of newcomers who have not received much attention have become Eve's goals, and she wants to see if she can miss them.

Some time ago, I finally fell in love with "Lian Lian Notebook", but it ended up being the first to go. Although I still got the box office dividend, it is not a film I made, and I don't own the copyright. I will inevitably be disappointed.

Anyway, she is careless now, if she finds something suitable, she will touch it, if she can't find it, let it be, and don't force it.

I always did it when I thought about it before, and I didn’t do it when I didn’t think about it.

This time, we must be regular, and read various newspapers and magazines every week, as well as the list of new books in bookstores, and keep this habit.

At the same time, because there may be differences between the English name of the book and the translated name, and the difference between the name of the book and the name of the movie, Eve needs a full-time staff to do these sorting tasks.

List the names, characters, and main contents of the book, saving yourself from reading one book after another.

Usually, she rarely has time to calm down and think carefully. For example, when she wants to draw eye shadow and eyeliner now, she will always have various thoughts when she closes her eyes.

Eve secretly decided that from tonight onwards, she must make time to use her brain well, it would be much more helpful.

……

Keanu knocked lightly on the door of the dressing room and asked, "Are you done?"

"Miss Campbell is doing the finishing touches, and you can tell the limousine to be ready." Mandy opened the door and showed the person in the room in front of her.

Eve stood in front of the mirror in a long, crisp white dress, while her hairstylist was helping to style her hair.

The color looks simple, but in fact it is not monotonous, because her blonde hair, red lips and blue eyes all match her skin tone and shape.

Simple and elegant, but also full of youthfulness, it will not make Eve look old-fashioned, without the grace and luxury of a lady.

As Giorgio Armani said, true elegance is not about being glamorous, but being remembered for a long time.

Eve turned her head when she heard the voice. Keanu was standing at the door with one hand in his pocket and the other hand holding on to the door frame. It looked like he was filming a blockbuster commercial, and she couldn't help but snort Laugh out loud.

"What? My shirt is funny?"

Los Angeles is really hot in the summer, and the Blockbuster Superstar Awards don't need to be as formal and serious as the Screen Actors Guild Awards and the Academy Awards, so they can naturally be treated as entertainment awards.

So Keanu directly discarded the suit jacket today, and directly wore a white shirt without any other bow ties, and even undid the top two buttons.

According to his past experience, Blockbuster's stars all dress more casually, and there are very few of them who are serious about wearing a few-piece suit, unless they are British actors.

In fact, when Eve and the two arrived at the awards ceremony, they realized that the two of them had already become more formal.

Tom Cruise is wearing a jacket, and Nicole Kidman next to him is a green dress; there are also T-shirts and sweaters over there, only a few 007 actors still wear them in the summer black suit.

People regard it more as a party, a place where everyone gathers.

For superstars, even if they don't wear traditional dresses, no one thinks they are rude, but they feel very kind and down-to-earth.

Eve saw more stars here than the Oscars, and all of them were stars with both box office and popularity, not actors whose names were difficult for ordinary audiences to name.

These awards are voted by Blockbuster users one vote at a time, and PricewaterhouseCoopers is responsible for statistics and supervision. They are of high gold content for stars and of great reference value for film and television companies. .

The author has something to say: I went out to eat hot pot with friends for the first time in a few months on Saturday, and then my stomach couldn’t get used to it!

After two days of diarrhea, Huoxiangzhengqi liquid and montmorillonite powder helped.

Please forgive me for the slow update, the normal update should resume tomorrow...cry o(╥﹏╥)o
