[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 269 Not afraid of challenges

Eve picked up the script of "Spider-Man" and put it on the other side. She wasn't sure if she was going to play the role, so she read the rest of the script first.

As a result, the name of the next script also surprised her. There was only one line on the cover, and the word "Chicago" was written on it.

"Evan and Robert are amazing!"

This is a classic song and dance movie by many European and American movie fans. Even though she is not very good at singing and dancing now, she still wants to try it. This is the challenge for herself.

If it is a type that has been acted in before, it must be boring to repeat it all the time.

"Chicago" was originally a Broadway musical. It tells the story of two women fighting each other for fame. On the surface, it satirizes Chicago in the 20s, but it actually has great ironic significance for the present.

The two scripts she has seen so far are all excellent works in her memory, and the third script is also not bad. It is a script "Maid in Manhattan" brought by a Chinese director. It sounds like a sparrow becomes a princess or Cinderella finds a prince s story.

Obviously, this was selected by Evan from the pile of scripts, and he thought it was a film with a good prospect.

Probably because Eve's popularity and popularity have risen, and her scripts and projects are getting better and better.Of course, more projects should be found by the brokers themselves, rather than waiting to be delivered to the door.

That is to say, the third script is relatively unfamiliar, and the rest of the scripts are relatively good, so Eve focuses on the latter script, wanting to know what story it tells.

Keanu was a little surprised on the side, and he asked suspiciously: "My dear, is there any problem with the previous two scripts?"

From his point of view, his girlfriend just picked up the first two scripts to look at the names, but the contents inside were not opened, and she put it down after a while of silence.

Eve shook her head, "No problem, those two should be good projects, one musical and one manga, and the romantic movie in my hand."

It can be regarded as three different types of movies, and the agents really put their heart into it. If you play any one of them, you can basically guarantee to be active in the public eye.

"Can I take a look?" Keanu asked, pointing to the script over there.

Sometimes two people respect each other's career and privacy. Although the script is there, you still have to ask.

Eve nodded and said with a smile, "You can give me some advice after you take a look, because I'm a little wobbly right now."

Keanu bent down and took the script over. The word "Spiderman" on it made him very dazed, "Spiderman? What do you want to play, the heroine?"

"It should be, otherwise, there are no other roles suitable for me."

"That's great. Mary Jane has always been the official partner of Spider-Man in the comics. Spider-Man is very popular."

As a fan of comics, Keanu has the habit of reading comics since he was a child, so he does not reject comics, and even wants to act in them.

Eve actually didn't know anything about comics or movies. She put down the script of "Maid in Manhattan" and asked curiously, "I remember Spider-Man also has a girlfriend named Gwen Stacy, right? What's the difference between these two characters?" Does it matter?"

The reason why I noticed this name is entirely because the first generation

She originally thought that the Spider-Man and The Amazing Spider-Man movies were reboots, but the name of the heroine was quite different from her identity and background.

Keanu’s eyes lit up when he talked about topics he was interested in, and he felt that his years of experience had finally come into play: “Gwen in the comics is Peter’s college classmate, and according to the chronological order, she first met Peter -Parker fell in love, then Mary Jane, followed by Debra and the black cat, Peter had many girlfriends, but only Mary Jane was his wife. Of course, under the interference of Mephisto, this history was changed, Mary Jane Both Peter and I have become unmarried..."

It was just a crackling storm, and Eve couldn't understand it, but her boyfriend kept talking more and more vigorously, and even wanted to give her various characters and experiences in popular science comics.

This gave her an extra headache.

"Then who is his true love?"

With so many girlfriends, there are only two who can be called by the names of outsiders.The dispute between the Gwen Party and the Mary Party is actually quite serious, although the sequence is quite obvious.

Keanu thought for a while, and replied: "Stan Lee once said that Gwen was Peter Parker's girlfriend when he was younger. After adulthood, Mary Jane is Spider-Man's girlfriend and life partner. If you look at it this way , Mary Jane is true love."

"As the founder, Stan Lee's words should be authoritative." Eve agreed. It would be better to have such a clear official answer, so as to save fans of the character from tearing each other up.

"Then you can help me read the script first, and see how well it is written. After all, it is an adaptation, and the plot may not necessarily follow the original manga."

Eve always feels that the plot of the movie in her memory is very different from the content of the comics Keanu narrated. In the first two movies, Gwen did not appear at all. Mary Jane is the only heroine, who is Peter Parker's childhood The person I admired in middle school.

It seems that it should have been modified to a certain extent by the screenwriter, otherwise it would not have created such a heroine that the audience hates.

Many people say that the old version of the three Spider-Man movies are good in everything, but the heroine Mary-Jane is a bit annoying.

Obviously the actor's looks and acting skills are not bad, but the plot is not likable.

This is obviously the screenwriter's fault!

Eve felt a little worried. If she suggested to the screenwriter to modify the characters of the script, would it be spread and become a joke in Hollywood?

At the beginning, she was able to suggest this to Doug Liman because the other party had not yet finalized the script, and everything was unknown.

Now that the script of "Spider-Man" is in hand, if someone else is asked to change the script, it is impossible to do it without enough coffee, and it may even be regarded as a sensational clown.

In fact, she didn't know where the deep hatred between the screenwriter and the heroine came from, and she just portrayed Mary Jane in the movie as a tool person who can only swing left and right, screaming and waiting for Spider-Man to save people.

The key is to be a vase, but also to make Mary Jane entangled with other male characters.

The audience must have liked Spider-Man first, and then fell in love with Mary Jane.

Both male and female audiences hate this kind of double-faced people. Don’t hang on to the little spider when you are dating someone else. There are three boyfriends in one movie, which is too exaggerated!

by the screenwriter

Modeling, it's no wonder that Mary Jane can be liked by anyone, she will definitely be scolded to death.

Obviously in the comics, he is independent, has acting skills and has even learned fighting, and can take care of and understand Peter.

Eve didn't really want to play this role, but after learning the difference between movies and comics, she wanted to give it a try.

Where there are safe projects in the world, sometimes you should take risks and try them.

I just put forward my opinion on the script. If I accept it, I will act it. If I don’t accept it, I will not act it. It is tantamount to creating opportunities for myself.

It's similar to some words on the Internet, if you think this character is not good, then change it, you can't expect every character to be exactly what you want.

In this case, the probability of being rejected is too great!

Eve decided to let the agent to find out the rumors first, and at the same time make some indirect remarks, it is best to accumulate some chips.

Right now, "Almost Famous" is the best opportunity. If this movie, also produced by Sony Columbia, can make a breakthrough in the box office and word of mouth, and make the audience realize the existence of an actor, then it will be ready for Sony. negotiating value.

Because among the younger generation of actresses, there are very few people with box office appeal, and there are only a few sporadic ones.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Eve to make it to the front line quickly. The main reason is that she is very popular, and the box office of several movies she starred in has exceeded [-] million. This is almost a miracle in Hollywood!

The debut work "Death is Coming" has a global US$1.5 million, and the sales revenue of DVDs and VCDs has also exceeded [-] million. The starting point is definitely not low!

With the help of Chong Ao Dongfeng and the exposure of Eve's relationship with Keanu, the movie "The Girl Who Moved Soul" has also surpassed [-] million US dollars in box office worldwide.

Although the guest star in "X-Men" is not Eve's achievement, it is very luxurious with a figure of more than [-] million in North America alone.

The other one was "Mulholland Drive", which helped her win Cannes Best Actress, a brain-burning literary film, and the box office even exceeded [-] million!

Director David Lynch is not famous for his box office, and the rest of the actors in the film have almost no appeal. This is entirely Eve's monologue.

The leading roles, supporting roles, and cameo films all exceeded [-] million yuan, and none of them lost money!

This is obviously a remarkable thing.

Hollywood is also very superstitious, and the actual results prove Eve's luck and vision.

If the next two films can still exceed [-] million at the box office, then all roles in Hollywood of the same age will be given priority to her selection.

It is very difficult for a commercial film to exceed [-] million yuan, but it is even more convinced that a literary film can make money. Eve can even drive a brain-burning literary film, which proves that he is a lucky star from heaven!

Now she is silently praying that tomorrow's premiere should go well, and the box office must explode during Thanksgiving. That is the only bargaining chip she has in negotiating with Sony Columbia Pictures.

In the movie "Spider-Man", the most attractive thing is obviously Spider-Man himself, not the actors and actresses.

But Sony is also afraid of problems with the characters, so they will try their best to choose some guaranteed and attractive actors in the casting, instead of directly choosing newcomers like the future MCU.

I have tried it, even if I fail, I will admit it, otherwise I will regret it in the future and say that if I tried it at the beginning, I will do so.

There is no regret medicine sold in the world.

After regaining her motivation, Eve is full of motivation. She plans to talk to her agent on the phone after a quick review of the script in her hand.
