Chapter 239 Biopic
After picking out two of her favorites from a pile of resumes, Eve took the two resumes out and put them aside, then thought about her timetable, and sent them a text message to arrange to meet tomorrow.
She managed to finish filming Legally Blonde and had a week off before going to DreamWorks' studio to dub the cartoon.
Therefore, Eve decided to set up her own film company, first find two employees, and then let them rent a small office as a base, which will not cost much.
What really needs money is when hoarding scripts and adaptation rights, and that's when she needs to spend a lot of money.
The main reason is that "Mulholland Drive" recently sent the first copyright transaction dividend, and the subsequent box office dividend is still being settled. It is estimated that it will not come until the end of the year, and various parties want to delay it.
With CAA's agent around, Eve will not sign a profit-sharing agreement with the producer and distributor. These film companies are all shameless existences, and they don't have to be ashamed.
The box office of the Lord of the Rings series exploded, but various financial statements made a loss.Harry Potter 5's global box office broke 10 billion, but Warner's financial report announced a loss of 1.7 million US dollars, which made those staff who signed the profit share vomit blood with anger.
Box office dividends and sales dividends are the best. Regardless of whether you end up losing money or making profits, I just look at the numbers on the books and ignore other things at all.
The dividend money has actually already been in the hands of the producer, because it was sold at the Cannes Film Festival.
"It's really necessary to find a special financial person to help pay attention. These things are too cumbersome and take too long."
Eve took a sip of the unpalatable black coffee and sighed for no reason.
The follow-up dividends of "Mulholland Drive" alone made her brain troubled. This time, she only got a dividend of 340 million US dollars. The subsequent box office dividends, global home entertainment, disc market and TV broadcast revenue are the bulk.
This year, the income of this movie after the big hit can make her earn more than 1000 million U.S. dollars. One can imagine how much other people will earn!
There will be follow-up income every year in the future, and there may always be hundreds of thousands or even millions of income.
After she has money in her pocket, she wants to do something else. Now she has already thought up the name of the company, which is called Eternal Pictures, and the English name is Eternalpictures.
Of course, there will be a few alternate names when registering to prevent the former from being taken up. Anyway, Eve didn't see the same name when searching on Google.
She hopes that the films produced by her small workshop are all high-quality products, which can be handed down along with the art of film.
If eternity can't be used, it can only be called Diamond Pictures or something.
Eve glanced at the time on the watch, she stood up and walked to the kitchen to start processing the ingredients, planning to make a meal.
Keanu was rehearsing for the highway chase scene over at the naval base for almost a week, and the Wachowskis still had no intention of filming it.
They first simulated and calculated the trajectory and speed of each car on the computer, and required the stunt performers to be perfect, otherwise it would lead to a shooting accident.
Such a long road is full of vehicles coming and going, even if some vehicles are provided by sponsors, you still have to save money when shooting, otherwise you will not be able to continue to use them if they are damaged.
The shooting will not start until everything is safe, and it is estimated that we will have to practice for a few more days.
In fact, for the leading actor, that scene is more like being lazy, because Neo played by Keanu has to wait until the second half of the chase scene to play, and when he comes up, he is like a spike.
Murphys and Trinity, as well as several Matrix agents and the White Phantom twins, really need to ride and drive to avoid pursuit and traffic.
As the leading actor, Keanu has to work with those colleagues, and at this time he has to share joys and sorrows.
Under such circumstances, he got off work on time, and drove away from the navy-military base at five o'clock.
Eve is in a good mood now and cooks at home when she has free time, otherwise the two of them would eat at restaurants outside.
Today she was a bit greedy, so she went to the Chinese supermarket to buy ingredients in the morning, and now she started to stew chicken soup with mushrooms.
When the aroma of chicken soup came from the kitchen, Eve went over to check the smell, and then turned the natural gas stove to a low fire.
Slowly simmer over low heat, so that the simmered chicken soup will be richer and more mellow.
Anyway, it was still early, so she took out the laptop, which contained the information Mandy had collected recently, a large part of which were biographies or biographies of outstanding women in various eras.
Eve knows very well that she is young and has too little qualifications. If she wants to win the Oscar, she must cater to the aesthetics of the Oscar judges instead of going against them.
Big names such as Julia - Roberts, Nicole - Kidman and other actresses are taking the route of biopic disfigurement to show off their acting skills.
If you study carefully, you will find that the Oscar judges are actually most interested in biopics. Even feature films are not so attractive. Many actors and actresses have won awards for their roles in historical figures.
But there is a strong gender bias in Hollywood, including audiences.
It’s okay for an actor to star in a biopic, but it’s utilitarian for an actress to star in a biopic, so it’s unreasonable.
In fact, male actors have more than twice as many Oscars as actresses for biopics!
Heroes of World War I, General Patton in World War II, British monarchs, writers, artists, politicians, etc.
The range of actresses is relatively narrow, because few women are known before, and most importantly, investors are almost unwilling to invest in the portrayal of outstanding women in science, politics and literature.
Eve is searching and comparing the deeds of these women, such as Marie Curie, the former first lady of the United States Jacqueline Kennedy, etc., and Grace Kelly, who was a Hollywood actress but became the princess of Monaco.
"Princess Diana's life is also acceptable, but the time of death is too close to now, and there may be problems with the British royal family."
"Marilyn Monroe is famous enough, but acting is more difficult."
"Mrs. Peron's experience is legendary. The never-fading rose of Argentina has been played by Madonna in [-]."
"Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher or Queen Elizabeth are not bad, but there is a problem with age."
The reason why these people are still remembered by the public after many years is because they have talents that are not inferior to men, and they can have enough shining points.
"Painters in the history of literature or art are optional. Helen Keller's life should also be legendary. Living in a world without light and sound, she is a writer, educator, and philanthropist."
Eve took the notebook and pen next to her, and recorded the name of the female writer who once wrote "If You Give Me Three Days of Light", and was selected by Time Magazine as one of the top ten American idols of the [-]th century. Helen- If Keller's bumpy life can really be performed, it must be very touching and shocking!
Times make heroes. Helen Keller has been blind since she was a child, but she never gave up. She studied with Mr. Sullivan step by step, was admitted to university, and forged an indissoluble bond with literature.
"This performance is very difficult. Playing a blind person. If the story can be told and acted well, it will indeed be a big hit in the award season."
Eve now looks at the problem from the perspective of a producer and a company owner.
If you can really play Helen Keller from a young girl to middle age and old age, it will feel really great!
She is obviously on vacation, but at this moment, she has a feeling that she is about to move, and she is addicted to drama.
The information found on IMDB shows that Hollywood only made a biographical film of Helen Keller in 1962. After so long, Helen's influence has not weakened, but has grown stronger.
Eve said to herself: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, and then ask Ms. Helen Keller's descendants after recruiting employees to see the possibility of character adaptation. This movie must find a Reliable screenwriters and directors will do."
The story is the most important, Helen Keller's life experience is already legendary enough, try not to add some plots that are not there.
Only when the overall quality of the movie is high, then the heroine's performance will be convincing.
If the cost is not high, relying on the charm of the actors and characters, as well as the blessing of the awards season, should not lose money.
Eve doesn't really care about the similarity between her and Helen's faces. If she relies on costumes, props and makeup, she can get close even if she doesn't look alike at all. What's more, actors focus on the charm of the characters.
Resemblance in spirit is the most important, but resemblance in appearance is not so important, even the actors don't like resemblance very much, it will be used as a stand-in.
The eyes are the windows to the soul, and actors often convey emotions to the audience through their eyes.
Then this character will lose an important form of expression, and the difficulty will increase a lot.
Previously, Al Pacino played a blind retired non-commissioned officer and won an Oscar, Audrey Hepburn was nominated for an Oscar for a blind girl, and Russell Crowe also played a blind man.
Eve believes that if this movie is made, it will be very shocking. It may be a real inspirational movie, which will allow the audience to find strength from this movie.
Even if she may not be able to act herself, she will definitely find a suitable actress!
"Actually, I think the experience of Pearl Buck, a Nobel Prize winner, is also very legendary. She spent most of the first 40 years of her life in China. It would be great if she could show the current situation in China to Americans."
Eve didn't make up her mind, but planned to cast a wide net. She felt that so many outstanding women were also worthy of being put on the big screen, rather than being ruled by men.
"Hey...Heidi Lamarr, who invented WiFi and Bluetooth, is actually a Hollywood star?"
She was stunned when she saw the news, who doesn't like beautiful and intelligent actresses.
It's a pity that there is not much demand for WiFi now, otherwise it will definitely be an important publicity point.
Eve has already decided to prepare Heidi Rama's biographical project first, and shoot it when the smartphone era comes. Presumably, the influence will increase a lot!
If so many biopics are performed at the same time, it will definitely disgust the audience and film critics.
But if the three biopics are distributed in 30 years, it will make everyone look forward to it.
How to arrange the shooting time of these biopics depends on the setting of the script, and look at the respective lengths of youth, middle age, and old age.
If the script focuses on describing things when you were young, then of course you have to shoot now, and it will be too late to shoot when you are old!
