Chapter 270 Whimsical
The room was silent, save for the occasional sound of the two turning pages.
Eve simply browsed "Maid in Manhattan" at a high speed first, and found that it is indeed a romantic love story. The story fits the setting of a romance film very well. The only thing that confuses her is age.
The heroine in the movie actually has a son who is in elementary school. It is this eccentric son who acts as a bridge in the middle, so that the male and female protagonists of your noble son have a deeper understanding and development.
Of course, the story must be a bit fake, and the hotel maid can be mistaken for a lady of the upper class, and then the truth is revealed, the misunderstanding is solved, and so on.
"You actually gave me the role of playing a mother..."
Eve didn't know how to complain about the agents, and she was going to play a high school student, but ended up making a romantic comedy about single mothers.
She is only in her early twenties, which is a good time for youth!
Before she could complain, Keanu on the other side of the sofa became dissatisfied and muttered, "This is not the Mary-Jane I know, the scriptwriter is just scribbling."
"You think this role is not good?" Eve asked.
"Mary Jane is very good in the comics. She is not so money-worshipping and vacillating in the movie script. Anyway, in the comics, she noticed Peter Parker very early, and thought he was very attractive and cool. It's not because Peter Parker changed. Being Spider-Man, Mary-Jane wanted to have a superhero boyfriend before agreeing to date."
"I remember when they got together, they always argued because Peter was a superhero, and Mary just wanted to be an ordinary person. The script will definitely not be exactly the same as the comics, but the adaptation seems to sacrifice the heroine to fulfill the image of the hero. You must not play this role, otherwise you will definitely be scolded!"
Keanu was quite in favor of his girlfriend playing this role before, but now after watching it, he doesn't want her to get involved in this muddy water.
Unexpectedly, Eve said what was in her heart: "Actually, I have a small idea. I am going to ask Robert to ask the people at Sony Pictures to see if they can revise the script."
After hearing this, Keanu was a little hesitant to speak, he was too aware of the urine nature of these big companies.For them, replacing an actor who is obedient and willing to accept the script is much less troublesome than changing the script.
Back then, the script of "Speed 2" was too bad. Keanu was obviously very important in the first film, but the producers would rather replace him as the soul character than revise the script.
The end result was hitting a stone with a pebble. Not only did the film fail to be made, [-]th Century Fox also blamed him for the failure of the film, and then blocked it internally and externally.
Even with the success of the first film, she was still treated like this, not to mention that "Spider-Man" was still the first film, so Eve didn't have any conditions to bargain or discuss the script.
But no matter what, I couldn't say anything against it. The girl in front of me was in high spirits, as if all the problems couldn't trouble her.
Go ahead to dangers.
"I also think you can try it. Let Evan try it and see if it is possible." Keanu pointed to her hair and said, "Actually, your image is very similar to Mary Jane. Red hair, and she happens to be an actress by profession, although you're not on Broadway."
There are some things to do to be at ease. What he can do is to stay with his girlfriend so that she will not be depressed or lose confidence when she fails.
Eve can actually see that Keanu is purely encouraging herself, and doesn't think this possibility exists.
Life lies in the unknown, maybe there are difficulties and obstacles ahead, it will be more exciting to challenge.
She seemed to take some reassurance, then took out her mobile phone, found Robert's number, and dialed it directly.
It took less than ten seconds for Robert to connect, "Good afternoon, young girl, how are you doing?"
"It's not very good. Because I saw the script you picked. I wonder, why is "Maid in Manhattan" in it? In your eyes, am I old enough to play the mother?"
Eve is now possessed by a movie queen, with a vicious tone, intending to tease the manager.
However, Robert was not fooled at all, perhaps because he knew Eve too well, and at the moment he even calmed down slowly: "Don't act. This script was brought by a Chinese director, and it is also a movie produced by Columbia Pictures. At the same time, the male lead has been confirmed. Well, it's Ralph Fiennes in The English Patient, so it seems pretty plausible."
"Although Ralph is very handsome, I'm not the kind of person who is attracted to a handsome actor and wants to cooperate with him."
"Hahaha, it should be Keanu next to you, right? Admit it, he's perfectly fine playing a rich man, and you're Cinderella. Don't you think playing a single mother is a test of acting skills? I think it's right for you challenge, a challenge for some age-appropriate characters."
Robert purposely found such a reason, mainly because he felt that the script was quite bloody and romantic, and it was valuable in business.At the same time, the cast and production team are not bad. Ralph Fiennes has good looks and acting skills, and director Wang Ying has also made films such as "The Joy Luck Club" and "The End of the World".
To be honest, he even thinks that "Maid in Manhattan" will have a higher commercial box office than "Legal Blonde" starring Eve.
Eve shook her head and said, "I don't like this script. If you can't find other characters, then consider it. Take it as an alternative. Next, let's talk about "Spider-Man". Is it the movie?"
"To be honest, when the project was confirmed at the beginning, neither Evan nor I contacted you. It was after the scandal between you and Matt Damon was flying all over the sky, and after we clarified you with photos and videos, Sony Columbia's producer The film crew came to you out of the blue. They saw that your red hair looks very good, and it is not impossible to say that you are a high school student after makeup."
Eve was really surprised at this time, the other party took the initiative to come to the door, so wouldn't she take the initiative?
"Since they took the initiative to bring the script over, it's fine. I want to do something bold now, because the Mary Jane in the script is very annoying, so can you contact the producer to see if it is possible to modify it? How about revising the script and modifying the relevant content of Mary Jane?"
Robert is not Keanu, he is not so gentle and tactful, he just poured cold water on him and said: "What are you thinking, do you think it is so easy to change the script? This is the heroine, changing a little part of the scene will affect the rest of the script." character. I don't think Sony would agree."
"I know it's hard to change the script
The limit is too big, but it’s always okay to ask. If the other party thinks it can be discussed, then we will slowly discuss where the maximum revision limit is.If the other party directly refuses, then we can throw this project aside. "
Eve is also a producer herself. She actually put herself in the shoes of herself and thought about it. If the actor she was sure of suddenly said that she wanted to change the script, she would definitely refuse it.
Unless it is the kind of movie tailor-made for others, it must be changed until the other party approves it.
Robert didn't know where Eve's idea came from, so he could only sigh and said, "Then I'll ask, you don't have any expectations. After all, this is Sony's biggest project in recent years, and the producers may not have anything to say." right."
Eve has been filming outside, and Eve doesn't know the situation at all. If she could contact Sony earlier, she might be able to modify the script when it is just finalized.
Now the crew has already used this script for casting auditions. If it is changed again, it is estimated that the high-level executives, producers, and directors will be satisfied, not to mention that there is Marvel Pictures in the middle.
The movie was not independently shot by Sony Columbia, Marvel Studios was also responsible for the creative part, and the script had to be revised only when the two companies reached an agreement.
"What information should I know now? Are most of the actors confirmed? Where is the director?" Eve plans to formulate a small clearance strategy, and must investigate the identities of these behind-the-scenes teams.
Don't fight unprepared battles, and only after you find out the details of these powerful voices can you make some plans for them.Maybe some people are willing to modify the script. She doesn't believe that those producers or directors are blind. There must be some people who can see that this character is wrong, but they can't speak out because of various wishes.
Gather a group of people who share the same views, and then argue with reason, so that the possibility of changing the script is much greater.
Eve has a sense of urgency. If the actor has already signed a contract, then he may have to agree with the agency behind him to change the script, so this matter must be resolved as soon as possible.
"The director has not been determined yet, and I don't know which director to choose. The actors only have preliminary intentions. Maybe the casting director will choose first, and finally let the director decide. At present, there are many candidates for the male lead, including Leon Nadeau, Jude Law, Heath Ledger, Josh Hartnett and Hayden Christensen, James Franco and more."
It is not difficult to see that the selected actors are almost all male actors born in the [-]s or even the [-]s, and they are all relatively well-known.
But Eve knew that everyone mentioned here was rejected, and Tobey Maguire finally got the role.
"The heroine is currently giving you the script, and the agents of some other actresses are also approaching, mainly those of your age and younger, otherwise it will be very awkward to play a high school student."
"What about the producer's information?"
"On the surface, Ian Bryce is the producer, but in fact the chairman of Sony Pictures, Amy Pascal, is in charge, along with Grant Curtis, Heidi Fogelman, Steven P. - Seta, Avi Arad, Kevin Feige, Stan Lee. The latter three are the producers of Marvel Studios, and the first few are from Sony Pictures.”
After Eve finished listening, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she actually heard several familiar names!
Needless to say, Stan Lee, Avi Allard is the owner-chairman of Marvel Pictures, and Kevin Fitch has had a few encounters with him.The most important thing is Ian Bryce, this guy happens to be the producer of "Almost Famous".
Dealing with an acquaintance is much better than dealing with a stranger!
"Robert, I've decided. Don't tell Ian about it yet. After the premiere tomorrow, we'll see the audience's reaction and the media and film critics' feedback before contacting him."
It's just luck!
She felt that her success rate had suddenly increased by 10 percentage points.
The author has something to say: The previously buried clues are finally gathered here. When I described "Almost Famous", I considered the latter content, and included the producer information, company leadership information, and love for Eve. a more detailed description.
The premiere of the next chapter is coming~~
In addition, I am calling for everyone's nutrient solution. Add a few hundred more bottles and you will be able to add more. I hope it will be achieved tomorrow~~
