Chapter 259 The Hero of the Women's Middle School
The shooting of action movies is quite hard, and Mary, played by Eve, really suffered at the beginning.
It may be that things developed too fast, and it was kidnapping, murder, and shooting, which was simply thrilling.
Mary had no chance to give full play to her superiority in IQ, and she was really an ordinary person in this violent environment.
But once the safety of her life was guaranteed, Mary returned to a rational state and began to show her own light.
In the scene of being held hostage earlier, the heroine was actually not outstanding at all, and she couldn't see any advantages.
But what really made Eve determined to play this role was because of the following series of actions, how a young girl rescued the wanted Jason Bourne and secretly took him out of the city.
Matt Damon can be lazy, he just needs to be a background board, most of the time he lies down to play Bourne in a coma, and becomes Eve's performance stage alone.
Mary, an expert in statistics, decided to help Bourne escape.After all, this guy could obviously escape alone, and he was already seriously injured, so there was no point in saving him.
Maybe it's because I'm usually too rational, once I meet such a man who doesn't follow the routine, I will fall in love with him easily.
As Robert said, you won't feel tired when you do what you like.
Mary's clothes were tattered and dirty. She called her colleagues at the public phone booth and made a series of arrangements. Not only did she successfully get her luggage, but she also deceived the police and others. .
This colleague was not the person Mary met in the elevator or in the conference hall, but a female colleague of the Canadian delegation. The two had a very close relationship, and the other party had no idea what happened to her.
In order to prevent colleagues from leaking secrets or being deceived by the cia killer, Mary specially asked that friend to help cover her whereabouts.If someone asks, just say it was a sleepover and don't believe what happened to you.
And also asked the female colleague to help pack the luggage.
In this case, it is obviously not suitable for two girls to meet, maybe someone will follow that female colleague.
So Mary took another approach, lying to the hotel waiter, making the waiter think that Mary was hiding from a moron in the hotel and going out with another man.Ask the off-duty waiter to help deliver the suitcase to Mary, and pay a certain tip in the middle.
Women are considerate of each other, especially the state and psychology of being entangled by men.The waiter thought he was helping a poor girl avoid the perverted entanglement, but she never expected that there was a seriously injured man and a woman who had just escaped kidnapping in the car by the river.
After changing her clothes, reapplying her makeup, and transforming into an exquisite and modern girl, Mary dared to drive away from the city of Zurich in a fair manner.
If she looked panicky and disheveled, she would definitely be suspected.
The shots are especially for Bourne who is lying in a coma in the back seat of the vehicle, Mary who is confident in the driver's seat, and the police and agents who are checking the side of the car.
The cia agents used to be so close to the target, no one would have thought that the back of this car was what they wanted
The one I found.
This kind of shot with a thousand miles of difference will definitely make the audience's adrenaline soar, and they will be moved by Mary's wit and composure.
It can be said that the scenes that Eve is filming now are all fan-fan scenes, organized, courageous and resourceful, she is simply a heroine among women!
In the novel, the flashback writing method is used, and it is Bourne who chats with Mary after waking up from a coma, and shows Mary's actions through dialogue.
But in the movie script, in order to show the importance of the role of Mary, both the screenwriter and the director used the narrative method to describe, but the order was disrupted during filming.
It can be said that the current movie is completely different from the "Bourne Shadow" in Eve's memory in her previous life. She has no idea what the word-of-mouth and box office of the movie will be like. The changes are too great.
In addition to the protagonist's name, the storyline has changed drastically.
Jason Bourne's aura of the king of secret agents was given to Mary St. Jacob.
Eve even had a hunch that if the box office of the first film could meet Universal Pictures' expectations, maybe the second film would not write this character to death at all, but would try to keep it.
The time for solo shooting is too short. Eve really wants to turn this movie into a leading heroine, but unfortunately it is impossible.
This kind of regret made her want to develop this type of movie, female agent or female spy movie, and put aside these men to create a classic character like James Bond and Jason Bourne.
There are actually quite a few female agents on the screen, but almost all of them are used as embellishments, which can only add a beautiful landscape to the film.
In reality, there are actually countless female agents and spies. The number of female agents in the CIA is no less than that of men, and the tasks they perform are actually more tortuous and bizarre.
Audiences obviously didn't buy the heroine's spy movie, which also made the studio unwilling to invest at all.
In fact, Eve also knows that this kind of idea may be just an idea, and a lot of market research must be done before the project is established, otherwise there will definitely be trouble.
She has been in Zurich with the crew for almost half a month now, but the set has changed to several different places, and she is stationed here.
The next destination is to shoot a scene going to Paris, France. There will be a short location in the middle, and then just fly there.
It's just that before going to Paris, Eve had to film the emotional scene between Mary and Bourne, which turned out to be a challenge for her.
Most of the movies she starred in the past have elements of love, which are supposed to be invulnerable, but this time the filming is different from the past, she wants to show a kind of rationality.
Why did Mary fall in love with this Bourne?
Just because you saved yourself?
But don't forget that Bourne held Mary hostage before. Originally, Mary didn't have to go through this muddy water at all, and she was pulled down by Bourne.
Then it should be that Mary actually yearns for this kind of exciting life. She received a Ph.D.
At the same time, Bourne's appearance is not ugly, and he has a mysterious past.
Eve just wants to convince herself that these two characters
Color is indeed in love!
The script is in her hand, and these key points have already been marked out, and the cultivation of these emotions is very important.
In fact, the love between the two characters will not be so fast, but the length of the movie is limited, only two hours in total, so you can't wait until the end of the movie to fall in love.
An emotional scene that is too abrupt will affect the audience's evaluation. She is actually patching up so that the audience can accept the fact that the two characters are together.
Now this is not a confession, but a foreshadowing, which shows that both parties have a little affection for each other, but this affection is not enough to make the two identities and backgrounds completely different.
I will continue to add some content that can enhance feelings later.
Eve raised her eyes from the script, stretched in the lounge, and then patted her face in the mirror, trying to pat her sleep away.
Her make-up lounge is located next to the set, which is really just a kind of seedy hotel room.
There was a knock on the door.
"Please come in." She sorted out her emotions and expressions, and said.
Unscrewing the doorknob, Mandy and Robert came in, and the latter put on his suit again today.
Mandy immediately reported: "The director is measuring the light, and it is estimated that there are still 10 minutes before shooting can start."
"Ten minutes is 10 minutes. It's good to rest for a while. Go to Paris after filming the content here." Eve glanced at the agent and asked doubtfully: "Are you going back? "
Robert nodded, and he sighed: "You have adapted well here. I am relieved to have Mandy help you. Besides, the company has already had some opinions on me after such a long business trip, and some business activities still count on me. I will arrange it."
As an agent, it was a miracle that he stayed in Zurich for so long. He was not Eve's exclusive agent, but was also in charge of Chris Evans' agent contract.
"What business activities?" Eve was curious.
"Many, some brands want to cooperate with you, some magazines want to interview you or put you on the cover, program and movie invitations are indispensable. Armani is asking me if you can attend their press conference in Paris Fashion Week .You are the spokesperson of the brand, and you haven't been to the fashion week scene once."
The main reason is that the timing is just right. This year's Paris Fashion Week has kicked off. Various brands, models, fashion magazine staff, buyers, and top customers have all arrived in Paris.
And Eve also happens to be in Europe.
The people at Armani still don't know that Eve is going to film in Paris. If they knew, they would definitely invite them even more frantically.
This is what the spokesperson should do, but there is no mandatory provision in the contract, and Eve can make a choice when the schedule conflicts.
"If the fashion week is during the vacation of the crew, I may go. But if I ask for leave from the crew, then definitely not."
Anyway, Eve is not really in the fashion circle, she relies entirely on her own outfits to gain people's favor, and her lack of professional knowledge is very serious.
Now she dreams of finishing the movie as soon as possible, but there is still more than a month to go. Whether the filming can be completed before Thanksgiving, no one in the crew knows.
Robert doesn't want to be too entangled
Jie, "I won't reply for now, I'll wait for the crew's schedule to come out."
The time for the crew to go to Paris has been confirmed, but it has not been determined how to shoot during the Paris period. The advance team of the crew has already gone to scout the situation.
Eve sighed: "If "Bourne Shadow" can't be finished before Thanksgiving, I can only ask for leave and go back to Los Angeles to attend the premiere of "Almost Famous". There may not be much time to promote the film in the middle, when the time comes Sony Columbia and DreamWorks should be dissatisfied, right?"
"I'm sure you'll be dissatisfied, because you and Keanu are the main hits at the movie box office, but you two are out shooting movies. Who are you waiting for to promote the movie? The leading actor is an amateur, and Mrs. Coen doesn't like publicity." People, maybe they can only send the director out."
Robert knew it was troublesome, and her schedule was very tight.
Today "Legally Blonde" also released its first trailer, officially announcing the film's schedule, which will be released on Christmas Day, aiming at the family carnival market.
Inspirational light comedy, really suitable for family to watch together.
These two films will be released one after the other within a month. It can be said that word of mouth is linked together.
If the former has a bad reputation and her role as Penny Lane in it cannot be liked by everyone, then some audiences who were originally circled will also have doubts about the latter movie.
Fate is shared!
Eve can't be as indifferent as Mrs. Coen, she has enough confidence, and she needs this movie to be a success.
"It seems that I can only avoid ng as much as possible, and I can't control others, but I need to act my role as quickly as possible, and try to end the shooting as soon as possible."
This year's Thanksgiving is on November 11, and "Almost Famous" will have its premiere on the 23nd, and before the premiere, the actors should promote the movie instead of just releasing a few A trailer or a poster is fine.
Now outsiders have already begun to predict the box office of the film. Many people think that the box office prospects of this music- and rock-related film are not good, and it is difficult to earn back the investment of 6000 million US dollars.
Many people even think that Columbia Pictures has lost its head and dared to give such a large budget to a literary film!
Awards season PR has begun quietly, with more and more film magazines starting to predict the year's stellar performances.
Originally, many professional media felt that Julia Roberts' "Never Compromise" was almost the same as Eve's "Mulholland Drive" during the summer vacation, but now "Mulholland Drive" has no public relations at all, and the momentum has already become huge. Not as good as before.
This is actually a pity, because Eve knows that "Never Compromise" will lock in the Oscar queen, but if she does public relations here, she has a chance to get nominated.
Some performances are really good, but there are not enough opportunities to enter the eyes of the judges.
Now that they have given up the chance to be nominated for the best actress Oscar, they must not relax their public relations for the Oscar supporting actress, otherwise they will lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds, and there is only one way to go.
Judging from the films that have been released this year, there has not been a leader in the female supporting role, and the status of nominations is confusing, let alone winning.
It seems that the Best Supporting Actress award is very messy, as long as there is no particularly big dark horse in the awards season,
Eve is very hopeful of getting her first nomination in her life.
As for whether you can win an award, it depends entirely on the quality of the film.
Eve also needs someone to go back to Los Angeles to help her with these things. Robert can only handle these things in Hollywood, and staying on a European set is of little value.
"When is your flight ticket?"
"Two hours later, I came here to bid you farewell. See you in Los Angeles at that time, and I hope this day will come soon." Robert hugged Eve as a farewell, "I will help you keep an eye on the crew. By the way, if you have any dissatisfaction with the crew, you can also tell me."
Eve patted the manager on the back, and jokingly said: "Thank God, you finally left, now no one should care about my shopping. I'll take you down and let Mandy take you to the airport. "
"It's better for Mandy to stay here. You only have an assistant in the crew. Do you expect Hawke, an elm bump, to help you with the small things of the crew?" Robert is not at ease. Some things are more convenient and careful with female assistants.
As a bodyguard, Hawk usually has a low sense of presence, and standing outside the door now has no idea what the boss is talking about.
"Okay, then Mandy stays and lets Hawke go.".
"No one needs to go. I have already asked the hotel front desk to call a taxi for help."
Eve reckoned that filming would start after sending the agent away, so she opened the door and walked towards the elevator.
Robert wanted to stop her from doing this, but Eve refused.
The outside of the small hotel where the film was filmed has been separated by the crew with a barrier to prevent some outsiders from breaking in.
She hugged Robert again, and then watched the agent get into a taxi with a big suitcase and head towards the airport.
Just when Eve was about to turn around and go back upstairs to continue filming, she saw Matt Damon not far away leaning against the wall on the phone, holding a cigarette in his hand, the smoke curled up, and he looked a little annoyed.
She didn't intend to go out of her way, and she and Matt Damon were not familiar enough to ask about these things.
"Excuse me, Ms. Campbell, the filming is about to start, please go to room 204 and get ready." The crew's voice sounded from behind, "I'll inform Mr. Damon now."
Eve turned around and walked towards the interior of the small hotel. At the same time, she turned her head to the actor who was still on the phone and said, "Matt, the director is ready to shoot."
Matt Damon nodded in the smog, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground, crushed the sparks with his shoes, and said to his mobile phone: "I'm going to make a movie now, what's the matter? I'll talk about it later." Is that okay? I'll call you after get off work..."
It is not known who was on the other end of the phone, but it seemed that the call was hung up all at once, which caught Matt Damon a little off guard.
But as a qualified Hollywood actor, he is very dedicated.Holding the mobile phone in his hand, he walked into the small hotel together to prepare for the next shooting.
Little did they know that in a Buick opposite the small hotel, a reporter had put away his camera contentedly.
……
In the small hotel room, Doug Liman had already adjusted the shooting angle, but when he wanted to shoot,
Only to find that the male protagonist started to wear bandages!
This made him a little annoyed, what did he do long ago, this has to be filmed before it starts.
There was a bit of low air pressure in the room. Everyone understood the director's anger, but no one dared to criticize Matt Damon. He is a first-line star in the crew and the leading actor in the movie.
The speed of simply wrapping the bandages is very fast, which saves the time of applying special effects makeup. It took only a few minutes for Matt Damon to become a mummy with his forehead and shoulders tied up with bandages, and then he quickly lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Mary played by Eve has changed into a slightly more casual and sporty outfit, with a white top and red skirt, which matches her hair color.
The sunlight passed through the gaps between the swaying leaves, and the mottled light and shadow were transmitted from the windows to the floor, and the white gauze curtains were blown up by the wind.
Matt Damon entered the scene very quickly, and he was already weak at the moment. .
The clapperboard slapped, and the No. 1 camera shot Eve's back from the perspective of Matt Damon, while the other camera took a close-up of him, watching him gradually wake up from the coma. While waking up, he immediately maintained vigilance, a movement that agents are used to.
Mary stood at the door, communicating with the doctor in French, and then closed the door with a creak. When she turned around, she saw Bourne's confused and empty eyes.
"Hey, can you hear me?".
Bourne nodded, his voice was a little weak, and it took a lot of effort to say a word: "Where are we?"
"You were injured before, very badly. We are in the small town of Lanesberg outside Zurich. The doctor just came from Wellen, and he will keep his mouth shut when he takes the money."
"How could you save me?" Bourne wanted to sit up, but he had no strength at all. Matt Damon played this kind of bravery and weak physical condition very realistically.
Eve patted his shoulder lightly, "Don't move, lie down and recuperate, lest the wound rupture again."
"You already know what kind of person I am, so it's fine if you don't take the opportunity to escape, and you don't hand me over to the police, and you even take me out. What do you want?" Matt Damon said in a broken voice It's about to take a break, which is completely different from the previous agile appearance.
"I don't know what your name is, and I don't know if you are a killer. People say that you kill innocent people indiscriminately, but what they say is different from what I saw. What I saw with my own eyes was that you were seriously injured He even ran back to save me, and almost risked his life trying to save me."
Eve's words were a little excited, she didn't know how to describe that moment, the person she thought was a bad person came to save her, and the person she thought was a good person was planning to kill herself.
Who knows that Matt Damon gave a cold complaint in the face of these words: "That person doesn't seem to be very smart."
"That's just the opposite. I'm smart."
What is duplicity?
What is bursting with self-confidence?
Jason Bourne complained about himself, but Mary praised herself.
The former wanted to draw a clear line, because it was too dangerous to be around, and he wanted to keep Mary away from him, so that he would be safe.
And Mary wanted to repay her kindness. Since someone saved her life, she had to repay this kindness.
"Aren't you afraid of me? I hijacked you, beat you, and wanted to make you a hostage." Jason Bourne sat up suddenly from the bed, with a sharp light in his eyes. Still want to get rid of this woman.
Who would have thought that Mary was not afraid at all. She folded her hands on her chest, with a smile on her lips, and said triumphantly: "Of course I will be afraid, but maybe you haven't figured out the situation yet. You are very weak now. My hands There are guns. Not to mention, you have no clothes at all right now."
"No?"
"I have asked the waiter to throw away all your clothes and underwear. If you want to chase me down, you'd better find a set of clothes for yourself first, otherwise it would be ridiculous to run around the street naked."
Jason Bourne paused, and praised with a wry smile: "You are really smart, and you are very organized."
Doug Liman on the monitor was very satisfied with the performances of these two actors, and they performed the chemical reaction of the hero and heroine. Mary and Bourne really look like a good match!
