Chapter 296 Friends broadcast
In a small two-bedroom house in Los Angeles, Robert is thinking about the future with his wife.
"Seeing that Miranda is about to grow up, I think it's time to consider the impact of the school district. In the past year, Eve's business value has risen rapidly, and my income has also increased a lot. This year, I got 45 US dollars. Next year It should be close to 70 US dollars, if she can take on a few commercial blockbusters, maybe my income will exceed one million."
This income level is definitely not low in CAA, and many senior partners only have this figure.
This is why he and Evan are trying to get MGM to bring Eve when they shoot "Bond 20". The value of a commercial blockbuster is unmatched by many literary films.
I had just turned from an assistant to a manager at the Christmas of the previous year, but I signed an actor but didn't bring any profit, only the basic salary.
At this time last year, Eve had already begun to show her signs. At that time, "Death is Coming" and "The Girl Who Moved the Soul" were released, and she was called one of the most promising actresses in the industry.
And this year, this potential will be directly developed!
The queen of Cannes, the number one favorite for Best Supporting Actress at the Oscars, three movies with over [-] million box office, North American annual champion, extremely dazzling resume, really doesn't look like a newcomer.
"I really want to thank Eve, she brought everything I have now." Robert really felt that the sky was falling, otherwise how could he make Eve his signed artist.
He couldn't help laughing when he thought of this. Eve was recommended by Evan at the beginning, but who would have thought that he could become a first-line actress? In the end, Eve had the cheek to ask for part of the power to go back.
"Why don't we invite Eve to our house as a guest? Find a better reason." His wife Margaret suggested.
Robert thought seriously: "That sounds like a good suggestion. Let's invite her when we move, and I'll check her schedule then."
After making money, he wants to improve the housing conditions and school district for his girlfriend and himself, so it is appropriate to invite Eve in the name of housewarming.
The agent is actually much more comfortable than the celebrity assistant, at least most of the time is fixed in Los Angeles.
At this time, Robert had no idea that he had another signed artist, Chris Evans.
The young guy is a regular in American dramas, and he also played a guest role in "Legal Blonde", but he still can't get a good movie script.
If you count on Chris to make money, Robert will have to wait a few more years.
Just as he was opening a bottle of red wine to celebrate this year's income with his wife, the mobile phone placed on the table vibrated suddenly, and a new message was received.
As an agent, you can't miss any text message. If you miss it, it may cause huge PR problems or miss resources.
While drinking, Robert turned on his phone, only to see a text message from Eve, the cash cow.
[Sorry to disturb your holiday, I have two things to tell you.The first thing was that Keanu proposed to me and I said yes.Don't be surprised if the media snaps pictures of my ring after Christmas.The second thing is related to work. Sofia Coppola gave me a script called "Lost in Translation". I like this script very much. I must keep it so that no one else can see it.At the same time, I want to be an investor in this movie. You and Evan can discuss a plan after the festival. 】
The content of the text message was a bit long, so it was directly divided into two pieces.
When Robert saw the news, his head almost exploded.
Any one of the two things is a bit terrible, let alone together.
Marigot asked with concern: "Husband, is there any emergency?"
"It's nothing serious, but Keanu proposed to Eve, and the two became a fiancé couple."
"Really? That's great!"
Margaret immediately clinked wine glasses with Robert, and said contentedly: "I knew they would end up together, I just knew it."
Can't tell, she is still a CP fan of these two!
In fact, falling in love and getting engaged are not bad things for Hollywood stars, and sometimes they show a state of rising popularity and attention because of the equal conditions of both parties.
Because of Keanu and Eve's sudden marriage and divorce before, the audience felt like they were reading a fairy tale when they fell in love again. Now the engagement is undoubtedly the climax of the fairy tale, and the marriage is of course the finale.
Surprise is nothing but surprise, Robert is worried about whether Eve's career will decline because of this, in case she chooses to return to her family after winning the Oscar statuette.
If she becomes pregnant and has a baby at a young age, the market will definitely not stop there and wait for her.
Those actresses of the same age who are surpassed by her will definitely catch up and surpass quickly, dividing up the resources that originally belonged to her.
It is easy to return to the family, but it is too difficult to return to the career!
In any case, Robert was still happy for Eve, and he typed back: "Congratulations, I hope you have a good time in Alaska."
Engagement rings are photographed as they are photographed, it's no big deal, it's just a matter of course.
Another thing also puzzled him.
How did Eve get connected to the Coppola family?
I don't even know when Sophia wrote such a script and handed it to the company, I don't know at all.
But Robert knew what he should do. He planned to go to the company's mail room tomorrow to intercept the email, so as not to give other agents a chance to see it.
Sometimes the leak of a script may allow other agents and actors to steal it secretly.
Different companies have competition, and brokers of the same company also have competition.
Even though Eve has a high status now, she still has to be careful when she should be.
"If a cooperation agreement can be reached, with the help of the Coppola family this year, maybe Eve's Oscar will be more stable!" Robert muttered to himself, adding an insurance policy to Eve's Best Supporting Actress award.
It may have a 75% chance of winning, and maybe 85% with the help of Coppola. That family has such influence in Hollywood.
However, this also made him a little anxious about Eve's filming schedule next year. At most, he can only accommodate one movie. I hope it is the latest James Bond movie, otherwise it will be all art movies, and none of them will be commercially focused. Film.
Being able to carry a literary film and being able to carry a commercial blockbuster are two different concepts.
Robert knew that Eve had always had a good eye. Since he was able to see the script of Sofia Coppola, it proved that the script must be very good.
Then I must help to win the project, otherwise the ability to work will be questioned.
As Eve moves towards the top, agents also need to improve their working ability accordingly, otherwise they will not be able to cope with more and more complicated and important tasks.
He didn't want to let himself be abandoned, so he worked very hard and hard.
After drinking a glass of wine with his wife, Robert came to the computer. He planned to look at Sofia's past achievements and works, and at the same time read the reports on the Internet.
Margaret didn't think it was too much, she just quietly prepared some cookies, and then told her husband not to work too late.
The first thing Robert opened was his work mailbox, and as expected, he found the script "Lost in Translation" from the vast sea of script projects and commercial invitations.
He first downloaded it to the computer, and then printed it out with a printer, planning to lie on the bed later and study the script.
While the printer was running, Robert opened the list of the most watched movies in 2001 released by Yahoo Entertainment, which is a series jointly launched by Yahoo and Google search volume, movie popularity, actor popularity, media reports and website editors.
Every year, we will make an expectation and estimate for the films that will not be released in the next year, and review them again at the end of the year.
The film industry needs to know itself and the enemy, not only to know Eve's films, but also to know which films are going to compete with her.
Of the 20 must-see movies released by Yahoo, the last movie is enough to make people wonder.
Starring Tom Hanks, with Paul Newman, Jude Law, Daniel Craig and others as supporting roles, "Road to Perdition" directed by Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes is only ranked 20th.
What kind of movies are there ahead? Robert is vaguely worried. Will the movie Eve starred in be ranked in the top 20?
Ranked No.19 is "Pinocchio" brought by "Life is Beautiful" director and protagonist Robert Bernini, followed by Denzel Washington, Kevin Spacey, and Nicolas Cage. The movies starring in the famous best-selling book "BJ's Diary", the game adaptation movie "Tomb Raider" starring Angelina Jolie, etc.
When "Shrek" appeared in the 12th place, Robert finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least there is a movie on it, so it shouldn't be too miserable.
This is the only animated movie on the list, and Yahoo has given it enough credit.
He continued to look down, and finally saw Eve's name again at No.6. The "Bourne Shadow" she collaborated with Matt Damon received a lot of attention, and everyone was looking forward to seeing this movie .
As for the movie that received the most attention, it must be "The Lord of the Rings". From the time of preparation, "The Lord of the Rings" has made everyone look forward to it. After more than two years of filming, the first film is finally ushered in. This Middle-earth epic fantasy movie is an absolute box office hegemony.
Even the first film version of "Harry Potter" can only come in second.
It is not an exaggeration to say that next year will be a fight between gods and gods!
What are the sequels of "The Silence of the Lambs", "Ocean's Eleven", "Pearl Harbor", "Gangs of New York", "Planet of the Apes", "Artificial Intelligence" and so on.
This year, it's all about pecking at each other, so that "Almost Famous" has the opportunity to win the North American annual championship with extremely low box office figures.I won't have such good luck next year, it's all about fighting for strength.
Eve's two films next year seem to be unbeatable, so Robert set his sights on the year after next. The competition is getting more and more fierce, and superstars can only rely on the box office to get ahead!
It is difficult to become a superstar by acting alone. Meryl Streep has good acting skills and has many Oscar statuettes and nominations, but she is far from reaching the level of a superstar.
"It's going to be busy after Christmas."
Robert was talking to himself. He inquired about Sophia's past performance, movie reviews, and box office before he picked up the script of "Lost in Translation" and bound it, then returned to the bedroom.
……
Christmas Eve, Christmas, passed quietly.
With so little time to spend with family, the holidays fly by so quickly that many people don't have time to recollect them.
Brandon sits in front of the TV with his wife Delia and their parents. They rarely get together. They usually work in big cities and only return to their small cities in their hometown at Christmas.
So being able to spend more time with your family is naturally a good thing.
"Today seems to be Thursday, right? Hurry up and watch "Friends" on NBC TV station. It is said that Rachel's younger sister will make an appearance today. I don't know what her younger sister looks like." Delia urged, she is the star of this sitcom Always a loyal fan, almost never loses an episode.
Even if you don't see the first broadcast, you will let the TV record this episode.
Influenced by his wife, Brandon also liked the combination of six people, but his parents were still there, so he had to ask their opinions.So Brandon asked, "Do you watch "Friends"?"
"I watch it occasionally, we watch everything the same, let's switch channels."
With his mother's permission, Brandon used the remote control to switch to NBC TV station, just when the commercial was finished.
Delia smiled at her parents, then concentrated on the TV, reluctant to look away.
The familiar opening melody sounded, and in the cafe full of Christmas atmosphere, Joey, who was working in the cafe, was calculating the cost of the other five people's orders with the bill.But when the beautiful female customer asked the price, Joey chose to waive the order.
Seeing sex and forgetting righteousness, losing resistance to the beautiful girl, Joey's actions made the four people on the sofa in the living room couldn't help laughing.
Friends are criticizing Joey for this behavior, but he has no intention of changing it at all, and he plays that cheap feeling very cutely.
After this segment ended, the screen returned to the house, and the five people were busy with their own affairs. When Monica refused to admit it while catching a cold and sneezing, everyone couldn't help grinning like the laughter on TV. Mouth.
But the sudden sound of the doorbell made everyone a little confused. They looked at each other, and even counted like one, two, three, four, five, six. All six of them sat down in the living room.
So who was it that rang the doorbell?
Both Delia and Brandon were curious.
"Should be Rachel's sister?"
"Definitely."
When Qian Chandler, who was slightly fat and fat, opened the door, a blond girl in a windbreaker walked in directly.
"It's Eve!" Delia didn't pay much attention to entertainment news recently. She didn't know that the news of Eve's guest appearance in "Friends" had been released in advance, and she didn't know that she appeared in the trailer.
Seeing Eve walking in like this suddenly, Delia was extremely surprised, and the exclamation was exactly the same as the reaction of the audience on the TV.
Brandon was also very surprised: "Eve actually came to guest star, this episode is mainly about her."
The two sisters Jill Green and Rachel Green hugged each other. The makeup artist deliberately made the makeup of the two people the same, and they looked really similar.
As soon as the role played by Eve appeared, it gave people a feeling of being a little tricky, and she looked spoiled, especially when she told why she ran away from home, everyone was unexpected.
Originally, the audience and the six-member group of Friends were more concerned and sympathetic to Jill, and also appreciated her grand ambition of becoming a lawyer myself if I couldn't hire a lawyer.
But when Jill said that he bought a boat, almost everyone turned into lemon essence, sour together!
Before everyone has recovered from the sour state, Jill goes on to reveal that the boat was bought as a gift for a friend.
This time, the image of the prodigal girl was instantly established.
It was a boat, and it was easy to swipe a card to buy it and give it to others. This kind of daughter should really be beaten by the society, and feel how hard it is to make money.
Everyone immediately put away their sympathy, expressing incomprehension and envy for this behavior.
But Jill, played by Eve, is ignorant and coquettish, and doesn't know where she is wrong.
To do such a generous thing, he seems very innocent, as if it is someone else who is wrong.
Eve made the scale of the performance very accurate, and let everyone express their emotions with Chandler, and they should be friends with her.
Just like Phoebe complained, to be friends with her, you don't need a boat, you just need a car.
With Rachel's encouragement, Jill decided to be independent and self-reliant, decided to find a job, find an apartment, and start living independently.
Rachel, who was originally the most lady-like among the six, became a career-oriented strong woman all of a sudden with her younger sister as a foil, which made the audience feel that time passed so quickly.
The girl who fled in a wedding dress back then can actually educate others.
It's just that Jill, who has been in the honey jar for 20 years, can really be independent?
The audience expressed strong skepticism, but also looked forward to more jokes from Jill.
When the scene turned to the coffee shop again, Joey finally planted the root cause for sending free coffee and food to beauties everywhere.
Everyone else's tip is $50, but he is -$8.
In order not to continue to owe the debt, he directly snatched the small cake from the beautiful woman and put it on the tray again.
The lustful and stingy appearance is played to the extreme!
At this time, Jill played by Eve appeared again. She pushed the door with a bunch of shopping bags in her hand and complained to Ross and Phoebe.
Jill, who has obviously had her credit card source cut off, prepared a lot of things for her journey of independence and self-improvement, such as please hire me a sweater, and please rent an apartment to me for my pants.
When Ross euphemistically explained that spending his father's money on things would not make him independent and self-reliant, Jill replied disdainfully.
This made the audience continue to laugh, and it did not disappoint everyone, she is not a young lady who can feel at ease!
Eve's performance in the TV series does not have the slightest sense of disobedience. She often speaks amazingly, choking the rest of the people speechless, and contributing a lot of laughs.
Although a large part of this is due to the screenwriter, her performance also successfully supported the jokes, without a sense of separation from the TV series.
Come on one another, Jill, who is at the peak of spending money, doesn't care what Rachel thinks.
However, when Rachel came, Jill who had silenced Phoebe and Ross just now seemed to be a different person.
When Rachel asked her with an exaggerated look if she would go shopping, Jill's expression changed, and she immediately blamed Phoebe and Ross.These two people are also very interesting. They were a little confused at first, and then they admitted it in unison.
The proficiency in throwing the pot and the tacit cooperation made the audience laugh out loud, but Jill was still sitting on the sofa like a good baby, watching Rachel lose her temper at those two.
Phoebe and Ross apologize to Jill, which is even more laughable.When the two took turns to introduce Rachel the things they bought, Ross, the straight man of steel, was unfortunately seen through.
Jill, who thought she had succeeded in dumping the pot, immediately covered her eyes under her sister's questioning, begging for forgiveness with a sharp and choked voice, with a deflated mouth, lowered head, and a cry of apology.
It's just that the crying offensive didn't work. Rachel was indifferent to this crying, because these were leftovers from her previous games.
So Jill immediately let go of the hand covering her eyes, and changed her face in a Sichuan opera unique skill. It was completely different from the crying just now, and there was no sign of sadness or remorse at all.
The two sisters changed from loving each other to loving and killing each other. Rachel confiscated all the things she bought.
The next plot is even more interesting. After Rachel left, Jill had a spark with Ross.
In Friends, Ross and Rachel split and reunite, which is regarded as an official match.
After a series of events, Rachel sat with the two sisters Jill.
At this time, Rachel didn't want Jill to date her ex-boyfriend, so she asked Jill what she thought of Ross.But after hearing Jill's evaluation, Rachel felt that her ex-boyfriend was not so bad, he obviously had many advantages!
So she opened her mouth to refute, thinking that Jill's view was wrong, and defending her ex-boyfriend.
But after Rachel refuted for a while, Jill changed her mind, thinking that Ross is indeed a good person, and she can date him.
What does it mean to shoot yourself in the foot?
Rachel's behavior perfectly illustrates this point.
When she heard that Jill wanted to date Rose, she realized that she wanted to dispel her sister's idea, but it was too late.
In this way, the moths that I tossed out can only be accepted by myself.
The audience in front of the TV was about to be crazy about the interaction between Rachel and Jill, it was so funny, it almost contracted all the laughs of this episode.
This is not over, when Jill changed into a costume and appeared in the cafe, Rachel felt that her costume was a bit revealing and a bit slutty.
But Jill was surprised, because it was Rachel's clothes, and she just borrowed them to wear them.
Rachel cheated herself once again, and had no choice but to admit that she was a slut, but Jill also admitted that she was also a slut.
This is an American TV series, the heroine can tease herself so openly.In TV dramas in other countries, I am afraid that this kind of scene cannot be seen.
When the episode ended, tens of millions of viewers were a little bit reluctant, and even strongly requested Eve to be the resident guest!
