[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 240

I don’t know how much time has passed. When the door of the room was pushed open, Keanu Reeves, wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt, came in from the door, and immediately said, “What smell? It smells delicious. .”

Eve turned her head to look over, and hurried to the kitchen to turn off the natural gas stove. Fortunately, there was a lot of water in the pot of soup, otherwise it might really boil dry.

Now that the excess water has evaporated, the color of the chicken broth inside has turned yellow, and the fragrance of shiitake mushrooms spreads in the kitchen.

At this time, she sprinkled some salt into the pot, and said to her boyfriend, "I went to Chinatown today to buy dried shiitake mushrooms and chicken. You can try this chicken soup. It is very delicious and nutritious."

"Can I try it now?" Keanu directly took a stainless steel spoon from the shelf next to it. A layer of oil from the chicken soup in the pot floated on the surface to lock the water vapor. At first glance, it really didn't have any temperature.

Eve took the spoon and carefully pushed away the layer of oil, then picked up a shiitake mushroom, "It's very hot, blow it on a bit."

Keanu didn't speak any more, and cautiously approached the spoon. As expected, scalding heat radiated from it, forcing him to puff up his cheeks and blow several breaths in succession.

After guessing that it was almost the same, he slowly drank the chicken soup in the spoon, and then chewed the mushroom.

"It's delicious, your cooking skills are great!"

"I think so too." Eve said boldly, she actually followed the recipe completely, and there is a small food scale in the kitchen.

Keanu wanted to give his girlfriend a kiss, but was pushed away by Eve in disgust, and then reached out and pulled a tissue from the side and handed it over.

"Wipe the oil on the corner of your mouth first..."

Eve pretended not to see her boyfriend's sad and helpless eyes, turned around and walked towards the living room. Now the sun outside is very strong, it seems a little too early for dinner.

Keanu followed her to the edge of the sofa and sat down. Fortunately, the sofa in the living room is relatively big, otherwise there would be no room for a cone!

The sofa and coffee table are covered with various things, such as laptops, printed A4 papers, resumes, notebooks, pens, water glasses and so on.

"Have you figured out the name of the company?" Keanu asked curiously. When she got up and left in the morning, she was still thinking hard, wondering if there would be any changes as the day was about to pass.

Eve quickly packed the tools and works, and at the same time replied: "Eternal Pictures, the name is not bad."

"Sounds really good, the next step is to find a designer, how about the opening title, what is the company logo. I didn't expect you to open a production company before me. If I don't have a show in the future, can you give me What about investing in movies?"

"It depends on whether you will still be as handsome as you are now. If you are still so handsome, you will definitely have a few roles for you, and you will not be allowed to live on the streets."

Because Keanu had shot commercial films before, it was almost impossible for a personal production company to afford that kind of investment, so he only served as a producer and did not set up a separate company.

Eve created opportunities for herself because she has a wide range of films, and because the competition for movies of the same type is too fierce, and the competition for Olympic resources is serious.

Both of them are relatively rational people, so Eve also specifically stated that she doesn't want to get involved with her boyfriend in everything, so as to avoid some conflicts of interest.

It's like Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are now mixing oil with each other and starting a plan b production company together.But after the breakup, the production company can only be handed over to one party, and the other party can only withdraw the capital.

Although Eve feels that her relationship with Keanu is pretty good, who knows what will happen in the future.

Instead of being troublesome at that time, it is better to make it clear from the beginning and open production companies separately.

Now the two are joking. Even if Keanu gets angry in the future, he won't be as miserable on the street.

He agreed with his girlfriend's proposal, "It seems that I have to maintain my figure and appearance now."

"That's right, you must not gain weight and get lucky, otherwise it will be bad."

In fact, Eve feels that suddenly gaining weight or losing weight will have an impact on her body. If she wants to be a rubber figure in this area, she may take a long time to prepare and change.

The human body should not be tossed too seriously, it is too exaggerated like Bell.

Keanu did not stand idly by, but helped pack it up. When he saw the information on the laptop, he asked curiously, "Helen Keller? Why did you check her information?"

"If my production company can't find a good and affordable film adaptation, it will consider making a Helen album movie. She is very inspirational, can encourage the audience, and at the same time can let the audience know more about this writer."

Eve spread her hands, "There is another purpose to win the Olympics. The Oscars prefer biopics. The judges should all know about her."

"I don't know how to put it. There is actually a lot of controversy about Helen. Some people think that as a woman who is blind and deaf, she can go to university, write literary works, and do social activities. It's amazing. But still Some people think she was packaged, and many people don't believe that she can learn to speak by touching her lips and throat, or even believe that her works are written by others."

Keanu himself is not an American, and he only has a general understanding of this controversy. Anyway, many people in Canada next door think so, "And Helen Keller was quite extreme in her later years, and she always criticized the government. -Society-ism, wanting radical reforms in the United States. These were always criticized at the time."

There is no right or wrong in politics. It can only be said that Helen violated the interests of the ruling class, which led to serious controversy in the second half of her life.

Eve knew that it was her boyfriend who was concerned, and she had actually seen this before when she checked the information.

"Actually, don't you think it's more normal to be controversial? It will make her appear more real and great, and this way the movie will be attractive. If there is no controversy, it will be more boring."

"She is really difficult to act. Fortunately, there are many video clips left, otherwise you don't know how a blind person and a deaf person perform."

Keanu encouraged and said: "I believe this will be a good movie. I hope you can prepare well and make it into a classic movie. It is so classic that literature teachers will recommend it to students when they talk about Helen Keller in class." Watch your movie."

"I'm a little stressed when you say that, but it sounds very tempting."

Eve closed the laptop, tonight is a night for the two of them, there is no need to work, but to relax.

"I'm going to cook now. You can rest. If you're too hungry, come to the kitchen. I'll take the chicken out of the chicken soup and give it to you."

For some reason, she doesn't like stewed chicken for some reason, and only eats the soup and the shiitake mushrooms in it, which sounds a bit wasteful.

Keanu jokingly said: "A friend told me that there is a very interesting jazz bar nearby. How about going to listen to it after eating and resting?"

"Okay, I haven't been to a jazz bar yet, so I don't know what it's like inside."

Eve's impression of jazz music probably comes from "La La Land", except for the clips involved in the movie, she doesn't understand it at all.

"There are some impromptu jazz performances inside, which are very free and comfortable. They are not as lively as ordinary bars. The audience enjoys the music, which is more free and comfortable."

Thinking of this, Eve suggested, "We can go to the movies together tomorrow night. We rarely go to the cinema to watch movies except for the premiere."

"Then let's eat out tomorrow."

"No problem, I don't want to cook every day, trust me on that."

"I know, so let me cook next time, so you can still lose weight."

Eve suddenly felt that her boyfriend was a bit chatty.

She naturally assigned the tasks of cutting and washing vegetables to Keanu. The two chatted and prepared vegetables, not like a couple in love at all, but like an old married couple with a very good relationship.

There are two people, and if you cook too many dishes, you can't finish it, so Eve prepared a chili stir-fried pork and homemade tofu, plus chicken soup and white rice, which is enough for two people.

Tofu is relatively rare, and fortunately she can only buy it in Chinese supermarkets.

If you just look at the dining table, these two people are completely ordinary people, even eating a little worse than ordinary couples, there is no trick.

Eve is in charge of cooking, and Keanu is in charge of washing dishes. The two have already made a clear division of labor, and sometimes they may switch.

When the two of them finished their dinner, the sky in Los Angeles really went dark.

When the lights come on, the noisy nightlife gradually begins.

Eve didn't even change her clothes, she just wore a white T-shirt and jeans, and just tied the hem of the T-shirt inside the jeans before going out, leaving her hair to hang on her shoulders.

The two of them didn't do anything to cover up or dress up. They walked out of the house hand in hand. The bar was not far away. They just walked there for a walk and then walked back, so as to avoid drinking and driving.

The two short-sleeves, one black and one white, look like specially dressed couples. Fortunately, their faces are covered by the night, otherwise they will definitely be noticed by paparazzi and ordinary passers-by when walking on the road.

The Melrose neighborhood is right in the heart of Los Angeles, and when the rest of the city went dark, the neighborhood was still brightly lit and buzzing with people.

The night wind took away the dry heat, and the men and women in cool clothes played and played all the way, looking youthful.

Eve clasped fingers with Keanu, and she whispered, "I don't know much about jazz, I only know that it originated in New Orleans. I hope we won't be denied entry today because we're not wearing formal clothes."

"You used to say that our faces are passports, and now it's time to use them. You don't need to know jazz, you just need to listen to it with your ears, applaud if you think it sounds good, and leave a tip for the jazz band by the way."

The two slowly wandered around until eight o'clock, and the bar named Blue Note was already bustling, and the melodious saxophone sound pierced Eve's ears at once.

She raised her eyebrows in surprise. This rare musical instrument sounds very pleasant, with a fierce and manic feeling.

Although she didn't know the name of the song, or whether the performer was improvising, she was immediately caught by the instrument, the melody and voice were so beautiful!

The two burly black men at the entrance of the bar showed surprise expressions on their faces when they saw Eve and Keanu.

As security guards in bars, their job is to check customer IDs and maintain order and identify customers.For regular customers, trouble-seeking customers, and plainclothes policemen, they all have to take a look at them to distinguish them.

In a jazz bar in Hollywood, you can often see celebrities coming in and out, but I have never seen Keanu come over.

He didn't mean to check whether the ID cards of the two people in front of him reached the age of drinking, and said directly: "Miss Campbell, Mr. Reeves, welcome, do you need a VIP seat?"

"No, we'll just sit in the normal seats."

"Please come in."

There are paparazzi outside some well-known bars, and this time is no exception. Eve and the two were photographed as soon as they showed up.

But no one cared, what does it matter if she goes to a bar, the image of a pure and beautiful girl is not popular in Hollywood, not to mention that she only goes to listen to jazz music, not to go to a strip show.

After entering the bar, except for the bartender at the bar, the rest of the people did not notice the arrival of the two stars under the dim light, and everyone applauded for the band on the stage together.

Just now the saxophone came from the mouth of a fat black uncle, and there was another person carrying an extremely exaggerated tuba, and the vibrating low voice was very pleasant.

There are no taboos about listening to opera or classical music performances here. Everyone applauds and can interact with each other when it is exciting.

With a small drink, accompanied by various solo and ensemble music, Eve even felt like standing up and dancing, but she quickly restrained her impulse. This is not a suitable occasion.

The people on the stage did not seem to be performing step by step, but enjoying the music, turning the performance into fun, and everyone was in a good mood.

Eve admired these musicians very much. She and Keanu occasionally looked at each other while listening to the music, and could see the smile in each other's eyes.

The two-hour performance really flew by. Although the ears couldn't bear it, Eve left a tip of 500 US dollars for the band by swiping her credit card, which is very generous.

Before going to a restaurant or staying in a hotel, the waiter would not be charged such a high fee. The main reason is that the music is really good, and because of the status of a celebrity, there is no entry fee, so I use tips to make up for it.

Coming out of the bar in the middle of the night, Eve was excitedly talking to her boyfriend: "I think this kind of live performance is very interesting. We can often go to some performances and events in the future. Next time, if there is a live performance or a music festival, it is also worth going. ..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was immediately dazzled by the sudden flashing lights, and there were a lot of paparazzi reporters waiting at the door!

I don't know where the news leaked out. Originally, there was only one person filming, but now there are so many more.

And these paparazzi asked questions while taking pictures, wanting to interview these two people.

"Eve, will you go to the premiere of "Reaper 2" tomorrow?"

"Forbes announced this year's Hollywood power list, you are ranked 98th, congratulations."

"According to statistics, you have published more than 4000 newspapers in the past year. Do you have anything to say about this?"

"Keanu Eve, you two look very happy, is something good coming soon?"

"Have you ever thought about collaborating on a movie?"

"Can Keanu reveal the filming status of the "Matrix" sequel? Why did he suddenly return to Los Angeles collectively?"

"MGM suddenly announced that the movie starring Eve and you is finished. What kind of story is that?"

"A reporter photographed Charlize Theron appearing on the set of "Legal Blonde". Is that a visit or a co-star?"

It was also quite difficult for the paparazzi. They managed to catch these two people, but they couldn't find any gossip or controversial content to ask about.

The biggest gossip between Eve and Keanu is about each other. It is too difficult to connect them with the scandal, and they can't find a slightly ambiguous object.

Obviously they are two superstars, but they live like Tom Hanks, and it is difficult to pick up a topic.

It's a big trouble not to drive here. Now Eve can only walk back to the community. She doesn't want to run to avoid the paparazzi, which is more dangerous.

The most important thing is that the questions of this group of reporters made her a little happy, and the only thing that was a little aggressive was the content about "Reaper 2".

"If you turn off the flash, I'll answer one or two questions for you, okay?" Eve felt that this group of people was a little pitiful and hateful.

They are still squatting in the bar in the middle of the night for news. Could it be that this group of paparazzi reporters don’t want to go home?

But stay put and stay put, don't report indiscriminately and fabricate some lies.

Some witty reporters have already arranged the bar quietly, and got the songs the two listened to in the bar, how long they drank, and even the bill for tipping.

The other reporters turned off the flash in unison. Anyway, the content to be photographed has already been photographed, and the rest of the photos are not of much value, unless Eve and Keanu do some weird things.

"I don't have time to attend the premiere tomorrow, I have a date with Keanu."

Keanu around him usually has a good attitude towards the paparazzi, as long as it is not the kind of provocative photoshoot, he will basically ignore it, and sometimes interact with them.

Now that his girlfriend has already spoken, he also replied: "I don't even know that tomorrow is the premiere of that movie, I just feel that I haven't dated for a long time, enjoy it before going back to Sydney."

"First of all, congratulations to you two. The audience is very curious about how "Almost Famous" will be released? All the movies made after this have already been released. Everyone really wants to see you appear in the same movie."

If you can't interview gossip and gossip, then ask about things that everyone cares about.

They said in January that they were filming their first film together, but now it's August and there is still no sign, not even a single promotional material, so I don't know what's going on!

Not to mention the audience, even media people like them are very curious and have various guesses.

Eve just happened to know about this, and she replied, "The film will definitely be released, and it may be on Thanksgiving. The director has already edited it, and Sony Columbia should release posters and trailers soon. piece."

The word Soon is the key, no one knows how long it will be soon, and Eve can't question other people's decisions.

The paparazzi didn't seem satisfied with this answer, and they were all very disappointed.

"Thanksgiving? How long is it?"

"Soon, it should be a long time."

"Then what's the story?"

Keanu knew that these reporters would not be satisfied, and would definitely break the casserole and ask the end. He replied: "It is a story about the growth of a music critic, and Eve and I are both supporting roles."

"what?"

The reporters reacted very unanimously, and they were really shocked from head to toe!

This is true whether it is the content of the movie or the configuration of the actors.

Because the name of the movie is Almost Famous, coupled with the elements of a rock band, most people think that the band played by Keanu is about to become famous.

But now it is revealed that the leading actor is a film critic?

What do music critics want to be so famous? Do they want to be the Roger Ebert of music critics?

What an honor it is to have one of the hottest couples supporting the actor playing the music critic.

So some reporters were very curious. The rest of the cast members are unlikely, so could Mrs. Cohen be the protagonist?

She has enough qualifications, and her acting skills should be able to suppress these two. It seems that it is reasonable for her to be a music critic as the protagonist.

Many of these reporters have already begun to help outline and fabricate the story line in their minds. It is the story of a middle-aged woman who accidentally fell in love with rock music and wanted to become a legendary music critic.

Eve plays Mrs. Cohen's daughter or sister, or some other role.Keanu will play his daughter's boyfriend, who happens to be a rock musician, which seems interesting.

"Really? Is the protagonist Francis McDormand?"

"Who is the protagonist?"

"Are you two acting as a couple?"

"Director Carmelo used to be a music critic for Rolling Stone magazine, isn't this his autobiography?"

After arousing the reporter's curiosity, Keanu and Eve secretly kept silent.

No matter how the reporters asked, they just didn't answer a word.

If you want to know the answer, you have to watch trailers and movies, just dig holes, and try to trap as many people as possible.

Although they didn't make an agreement in advance at this moment, they had a good understanding with each other, and just a look let the other party know their plans.

Since being photographed is already a fact, it is useless to get angry, the angry appearance will make the paparazzi happy instead.

This group of people are like dog-skin plasters, the kind who get more and more vigorous as they beat and scold.

The best way to deal with it is to ignore it, half-talk, and make these reporters itch.

Obviously there was a big news in front of them, but they couldn't pry their mouths away.

These reporters were about to cry!

The two-kilometer road has never been so long. Eve would rather walk so far in high heels than be escorted all the way by paparazzi reporters.

When they approached the gate of the community, the reporters all lamented, how can there be such a trick, these two people are too bad!
