Chapter 284 Situation Comedy
Eve greeted the others along the way, then returned to her seat and sat down.
Today, only two people came from the "Almost Famous" crew, the director Cameron and Eve herself, and the rest did not show up.
The leading actor, Patrick, has already started training in the acting school in Hollywood. It is not enough to act in his true colors. The actors in this movie have been praised in various ways, and only he, the protagonist, is said to be spiritual by film critics.
Both male and female supporting roles are nominated for acting skills. Patrick’s acting skills are really not very good, so he would rather give up the two exposures and train his acting skills, because there will be auditions for other roles next week, so he has to sprint. .
Mrs. Coen has never participated in these activities, especially her performance this time did not break through herself. Although the film critics praised her, they basically would not give the trophy to her, but would like to give the trophy to Eve who had a better performance. !
For example, Cohen's sister-in-law Francis's acting skills are 95 points, but this time she can score 90 points for playing the leading role's mother.And Eve's acting skills are 85 points, but when she plays Petunia Lane, she breaks through herself and reaches the level of 90 points.
Under such circumstances, film critics will vote for Eve.
Cameron Crowe said in a low voice: "Today, I interviewed the actress you recommended with Tom. She has a good performance and looks very suitable."
"Really?" Eve's eyes lit up, "It would be the best if we can sign a contract."
"Her agent is negotiating with us and may end up paying $300 million, which is cheaper than asking you."
Eve is now basically starting with tens of millions, which can indeed save a lot of salary.
Previously, Cameron Crowe was a little embarrassed to invite her to play the role of Julie in "Vanilla Sky". This is a role that requires acting skills. There are not many shots, but it can be brilliant.
Julie knows that she is the hero's plaything, but she is not reconciled, and wants to change the status quo, and finally gets into a car accident with the hero, causing him to be disfigured.
It's okay that this role doesn't have many roles, and there are sex-erotic elements such as sex scenes, which makes Eve more cautious.
In order not to delay the film, she recommended Charlize Theron to Cameron symbolically, which was a kind return to her guest appearance in her own film.
Charlize Theron has shed her baby fat and is at the peak of her beauty. She is not inferior to Cameron Diaz in the original time and space. Her acting skills may be even better, but she suffers from her popularity.
Now Cameron Diaz is already a first-line star, and has exploded in several romantic comedies. This year's "Charlie's Angels" has become more popular around the world.
Anyway, "Vanilla Sky" has Tom Cruise as a superstar, and Penelope Cruz, a top actress in the Spanish-language film and television industry, plus Charlize Theron, this lineup really doesn't count weak.
In fact, Eve was just recommending it, and the crew didn't know whether it would be accepted or not, and she didn't bother to help intercede.
Charlize got the role entirely because of her beauty and acting skills!
To be honest, Eve is not afraid of competition now, she has already stepped ahead of actresses of the same age group, and she chooses the suitable script first, and the rest will be the turn of others.
Perhaps after the other actresses get up, it will give Eve more motivation and a sense of urgency.
She is not in the mood to suppress others or form gangs.
Anyway, this role is vacant and vacant. Instead of leaving it to strangers, it is better to take it as a favor from your friends.
Just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard the name of the crew. It turned out that "Almost Famous" won an award.
Cameron Crowe won the Best Screenplay Award for this year's film. After hugging Eve happily, he went to the stage. He took the trophy and said to the crowd below: "This The film is based on my experience of interviewing Led Zeppelin when I was a teenager. I hope I can show you a corner of the rock world. I am worried that I will not be able to go on stage again later. Thanks to Eve and you actors for helping me, let I recreated my past, thank you!"
In this case, Eve naturally stood up and applauded the director.
"Almost Famous" is not only the success of the director, but also the success of the actors, which will leave a strong mark in the resumes of each of them.
The following awards seemed to be uneventful, except for the continued melee for Best Actor, the rest of the awards were almost the same as the current hot spots.
Michael Douglas took the top spot in the best actor contest, Julia Roberts continued to lead the best actress list, and Steven Soderbergh, who was fighting for the best director, defeated Ang Lee and Cameron Crowe and won Won his fourth Film Critics Association trophy.
In terms of Best Supporting Actress, Eve won this award without accident. She was a spoiler for Best Actress, but she continued to sweep here. Zhang Ziyi defeated.
"Almost Famous" was considered a big winner, winning three awards for Best Picture, Best Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actress.
The second is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". The Los Angeles Film Critics Association especially praised this foreign language film. Among so many nominations, it won four awards: Best Cinematography, Best Soundtrack, Best Art Direction, and Best Foreign Language Film trophy.
None of this surprised Eve. She only had a sense of time when she saw the Best Newcomer Award being won by Mark Ruffalo. The Marvel version of the Hulk is well-known, and it really has a lot of accumulation!
There were no celebrations planned for the awards ceremony, and all the winners basically took pictures with reporters with their trophies in their hands and left as a matter of routine.
The same goes for Eve. She didn't accept any interviews from reporters. After taking the photos, she joined Mandy, Hawke, Robert and the others, and headed straight home.
Robert looked at the trophy in her hand and said excitedly: "The awards of the four major film critic associations have been awarded, and only you and Steven Soderbergh are among the four. This is a good sign!"
Almost every award is different for the leading actor, while Julia Roberts won three for the leading actress, and Willem Dafoe, Joaquin Phoenix and Benicio Del Tor for supporting actors. Luo is also one of each, only the supporting actress is very stable, and Eve directly won the awards of the four outposts!
Not only that, but her performance in "Mulholland Drive" has not been forgotten by the film critics. She has been nominated for the heroine in the National Association of Film Critics and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, which can be described as a highlight of the awards season.
As for Steven Soderbergh, needless to say, the two top-level films are in the Olympic Games at the same time, and they are both well received. If neither of them can win the best director, it will be a ghost.
Don't blame Robert for being so excited. Last year, when Angelina Jolie won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, she didn't sweep all the way with Eve. The other party also lost the award of the New York Film Critics Association.
Looking at the history of the Oscars over the years, if the four major film critic associations win, it will really be the number one favorite. As long as the next Golden Globes and the British Oscars do not overturn, the real Oscar statuette will be waving to her!
Good acting is one aspect, high-quality movies are a bonus, and there is also an element of self-improvement, and Sony Columbia and CAA are promoting it, and there are many related news.
PR expenses are not in vain, those PR managers are just throwing money at prizes.
"After this event, you should be able to take a break. Next time, will you be participating in the Screen Actors Guild Awards and the Golden Globe Awards?" Eve obviously didn't attend a few awards ceremonies, but she felt physically and mentally exhausted.
Robert nodded and said, "You can take part in the awards ceremony, but you can't rest. "Legally Blonde" will be released soon, and you have to promote the movie. The first thing I want to say is It has something to do with it, I went to Warner Bros. studio to shoot "Friends" the day after tomorrow, I have already printed out the script and put it in the car, you can read it later."
"Is it the idea from before?" Eve asked curiously.
"That's right, what you want to play is Rachel's sister Jill, which is the idea put forward by the screenwriters before, but the lines are more detailed and specific. You have been making movies before, and you have never shot this kind of scene. Comedy, you have to prepare well."
Her "Legally Blonde" is a comedy, but it's not a sitcom facing the audience, just facing the camera.
But sitcoms like "Friends" are different. Unless there are some shooting locations where the audience can't appear, most of the content is shot in the studio, and that's a bit like a drama performance.
The actors performed in the built-up house, and there were dozens of spectators in close proximity. The actors had to make the audience laugh, so a lot of the laughter was actually recorded on the spot.
It's just that this kind of shooting is a challenge for actors and audiences, because the shooting is relatively fragmented, not as smooth as watching the edited TV series on TV.
In many cases, a scene has to be shot more than ten times, and the first few times I can still laugh, but if there are too many NGs later, I can’t laugh.
It's not just an actor's problem, it's also a screenwriter's problem. The jokes in the script just stay in the script. If it's actually performed, the audience may not be able to understand the jokes, and sometimes they can't understand them.
So in this situation, you have to re-act repeatedly, and even modify the script according to the audience's feedback and performance.
Sitcoms actually test improv performance more than movies. Robert's concerns are not unreasonable. Can Eve, who is used to acting in movies, perform well on TV?
If her cameo in "Friends" seems awkward and dull, it will definitely have a negative effect on the movie, and it will have no positive effect at all.
On the contrary, Eve was a little happy. After waiting for so long, she finally got the chance to guest star in her favorite TV series!
