Chapter 280 Start Sweep
In the large auditorium that can accommodate 200 people, the attendance rate is almost 100%.Let alone a weekday afternoon, it is impossible to have so many viewers even on weekends, unless it is the first week of a highly anticipated commercial blockbuster.
The reason why there are so many people is entirely because the theater is cooperating to promote the movie, and the audience knows that the main creators of the movie will appear here, so it is an alternative star chaser.
Some viewers were even a little distracted while watching the movie, waiting for the actors to surprise them.
When the cast list had been played one after another, the crew came to the open space in front of the big screen under the leadership of director Cameron Crowe.
The characters I just saw in the movie suddenly appeared in front of the audience. Even though they were mentally prepared, they still couldn't help screaming, applause, screams, whistles, and the sound of slapping chairs one after another.
Cameron Crowe said: "Thank you for your love and support for the film. This is the greatest encouragement to us filmmakers. This film has a very different meaning to me, and I am especially grateful to our actors for being able to play it well..."
After a while, the actors lined up waved and said hello to the audience below.And the staff brought the microphone over, ready to hand it out at any time.
A girl in her 20s raised her hands excitedly and said into the microphone: "Miss Campbell, what kind of story do you think this movie tells? After watching it, I feel that I have learned a lot, but I can't tell it. .”
Along the way, everyone has been familiar with it. Questions are basically directed at the director, Eve, and Keanu, and the rest of the people are really only occasionally asked.
Eve knew both the movie and the script well, so she replied now: "The theater's introduction to the movie says it's a rock movie, but I think it's more of a rock and roll world. Rock and roll is something that can't be ignored. The element is the most important element, but the movie is more like a movie about the growth of teenagers. It tells about a boy with ideals who came to the real world from the ivory tower, saw some cruel realities, and discovered The hope that exists in reality.”
"Then what kind of person do you think Petunia Lane is? Is her real name really Letty Goodman?"
"Actually, it should be possible to see that her identity information has been revealed, right? We don't know her real name, nor her family and growth background. She is a very mysterious girl and a person who loves rock music. The song is exciting, and at the same time, the emotion is very delicate, and she wants to prove the meaning and value of her existence. In addition, she is also the guardian angel of William Miller, helping him gradually get in touch with the rock music circle."
When Eve answered, she did not forget to push the young Patrick out. After all, he is the protagonist, and he is still a newcomer in Hollywood, so he needs to be known by more people.
Sure enough, a reporter was lurking among the audience at this time, and at this moment, he secretly took out his camera and started taking pictures.
Originally, it was forbidden to take pictures in the movie theater, but now the situation is special, no one will take care of it.
The reporters took pictures of the leading actors speaking and discussing.
Not only Eve, but Keanu is also the key questioner. Francis and Anna Paquin are also asked occasionally. Only the leading actor will be asked how it feels to work with the others, how was the first filming? class questions.
The half-hour time came to an abrupt end, and the crew had to come forward to stop the road show, because the screening in another cinema was about to end, so they had to rush there in advance, and it was best not to be late.
At the end of the day, they ran eight movie theaters in the New York City area, and even ate lunch in the car!
No film's box office success is easy. Even if "Almost Famous" is a dark horse now, it still has to work hard to promote it.
For this reason, Columbia Pictures has already made a second wave of publicity plans, which is to broadcast the videos of Eve and other actors at the audition time on the talk shows of some large TV stations.
The audience is really curious about the behind-the-scenes tidbits of the movie, so it can be expected that this method should have a good effect and maintain the popularity of the movie.
……
When the night came, Keanu, Eve and the small team had already boarded a private jet back to Los Angeles, but the rest of the crew did not take this plane.
One is because the time is relatively tight, and the other is because there are too many people and there are not so many places.
The promotion here has just ended, everyone is still very tired, the director will go to an additional city to continue the road show, and the rest of them plan to rest in New York, and the entire crew parted ways in New York.
"It should be early in the morning when we return to Los Angeles, but you flew to Sydney after six o'clock, so you might as well just find a hotel near the airport. It's tiring to run back and forth."
Eve doesn't want her boyfriend to be too tired, so why waste time on the way.
Keanu sighed: "Part of my luggage is still at home, and we also have to discuss Snoopy."
At this time, Snoopy has recovered his fluffy hair and looks extremely cute. He is already a growing dog, and he will basically grow up in a real sense in a month or two.
He hadn't thought about this at all before, but now he went to other places to film, and it was a bit like a husband and wife living apart and discussing who would take care of the child. It felt strange, but it was a little warm.
Eve thought about it seriously, and replied, "Or you can keep it, anyway, you have to come back before Christmas. Let me develop a good relationship with it."
"What about after Christmas? You're going to Charleston for filming, and then you have to go back to Los Angeles for public relations. Do you have time to take it well? Why don't you let it go back to Sydney with me after the New Year, and get more familiar with it there."
"I'm a little worried that changing the place of residence and the shit-shoveling officer for a long time will make it very uncomfortable and cause cognitive obstacles."
Keanu spread his hands and said helplessly: "This situation is hard to avoid, unless we reduce the time for filming."
He himself has made enough movies, but he knows that his girlfriend is the kind of workaholic. If he really only makes one movie a year, he might be bored and go crazy at home.
In fact, for these two people, Snoopy is almost always handed over to the assistant when they are working, and it will not really affect their work.
The behavior of taking pets to the set is not worth advocating. One is that the uncertainty of pets is too great, and the other is that it will cause a comparison mentality.
Everyone is working hard, why do you want to pet the dog?
If you want to bring pets, everyone will bring them. Wouldn't the set become a small zoo?
Keanu's status is very high, so naturally he doesn't need to worry about being questioned as privileged treatment by others. Anyway, Snoopy has been on the set since he was a child, and he has long been mingled with those staff members.
Although Eve was a little reluctant, she could only agree: "It would be great if we could cooperate in another movie, and save all these troubles."
Robert, who had been silently listening to the conversation between the two, raised his head instantly, and retorted, "No! Don't use the effect of making movies together. If you use it for a long time, it won't be so effective."
It's just about to be used on the blade, and Eve also knows this truth, she just said so, if you make a movie with your boyfriend, at least you don't have to worry about being too far apart.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit gloomy, Mandy quickly handed over the faxed paper in her hand, and said at the same time: "By the way, you must take a look at this, the New York Film Critics Association and the National Association of Film Critics announced the nominations and awards today. "
Eve was so busy that she didn't have time to eat, so she didn't have the energy to watch this.
A few hours of flying time is rather boring now, just to see the results of the first wave of the Film Critics Association during the awards season, to see if I have won an award.
Keanu quickly moved his head over, and the two looked intently.
The New York Film Critics Association's roster is filled with familiar faces, as well as films that haven't yet seen a wide release.
In the best picture, "Happy House" was nominated along with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Almost Famous", but the winning film was "Drug Network".
And that's the big winner this year too!
Best Actor went to Tom Hanks for Cast Away.Eve saw herself in the list of nominations for Best Actress, but she was nominated for "Mulholland Drive", but unfortunately lost to Laura Linney in "I'm Don't Worry".
"There are still film critics who remember my performance in the first half of the year. It's a complete surprise!"
She really didn't do public relations for "Mulholland Drive" at all. She was shortlisted due to her strength and the popularity of film critics.
As for Best Supporting Actress, the two supporting actresses in "Almost Famous" were both nominated, and Eve beat Mrs. Coen to win the Best Supporting Actress award!
Eve's award has a lot of gold. Not only is Cohen's wife an Oscar queen, but also another Oscar queen, Alan Postion. This lady was very popular in the 70s. The main nomination was once nominated for the female supporting role and an award was awarded. This year, she returned to the awards season with "Requiem for a Dream", which can be said to be healthy and strong.
What is surprising is that Keanu is also on the nomination list, but unfortunately, like Willem Dafoe, it is only a nomination.
"Almost Famous" received quite a few nominations, but the only winners were Best Original Screenplay, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Cinematography.
But for Eve, the sweep has just begun.
On another piece of paper, in the list of the National Board of Review, Eve won another award!
The male and female protagonists are Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts, while the supporting actor is Joaquin Finnicks and the female supporting role is Eve Campbell.
From the perspective of future generations, the award-winning roles in the actor department this time are not simple, and the list of winners is extremely luxurious, with two Oscar winners and two Oscar queens!
But now, Julia Roberts and Eve are competing for the Olympics, and Joaquin Fenix has just emerged in "Gladiator".
Who would have thought that after more than ten or twenty years, such a big change would take place!
