Chapter 304
The awards season has always been a concentrated period of celebrity scandals, especially those celebrities who have irregular behaviors will be picked up by the media and competitors, entangled in negativity, and their reputation will fall to the bottom.
In particular, Weinstein is good at this, either focusing on the subject matter of the film or on the actor himself, almost any production team competing with him will inevitably have sex.
This year, Weinstein also represented two films qualified for the Olympics, one is "Chocolate" and the other is "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily".
It's just that these two films are not top-notch. The former is basically nominated as the end point. There are many competitors, and the best foreign language film in the latter is firmly suppressed by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
Back then, Weinstein and Sony Classics both competed for the distribution rights of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in North America. Sony Classics relied on Sony and Columbia Pictures to snatch the distribution rights of the film.
Although it has a good reputation now, and it is gradually expanding the scale of screenings, there are actually not many movies.
The heroine and supporting actress of "Chocolate" have always been defeated, and the award season is always nominated, but never won.
So when "Almost Famous" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" both appeared, Columbia Pictures got very excited and shifted their suspicions to the Weinstein brothers. The suspicion is too great!
Eve's three nominations are extremely eye-catching, and doubts do exist, but the quality of the work is not bad, but there is a group of people who amplify the influence of this nomination and divert everyone's attention.
"I can accept that she gets so many nominations, but if it is put in one session, will it be too exaggerated?"
"The acting school recognized in the past did not get so many nominations in one Golden Globe Award."
"Eve's PR is too strong!"
"Obviously she was the heroine in "Almost Famous", but in order to win an award, she turned into a supporting role. How shameless!"
"Congratulations to Eve, she is the Katherine Hepburn of the new era!"
"I think Eve is better than Jodie Foster, Julia Roberts, Bette Davis, who got so many nominations in the same Golden Globe Awards. She is still so young, and then It will dominate Hollywood for decades to come."
"Hey, who do you think has better acting skills, Eve or Audrey Hepburn?"
"Has Ingrid Bergman ever been nominated for a Golden Globe?"
"Don't compare Eve with Marilyn Monroe, she is just a vase, and Eve is an actress!"
"Don't you guys think that Eve is really good at acting? Why do you want to go for the female supporting role? You can obviously take the female lead."
"Amazing, I love every one of her movies."
"Eve's sudden exposure of her engagement ring is probably to gain attention and publicity, right? The love story with Keanu doesn't seem real, it looks like a contracted couple."
"To be honest, Eve is much better than the two Hepburns, right? Do any of their movies break [-] million or [-] million in North America?"
At the beginning, the comments on the Internet were still questioning Eve's feat of mentioning three times in one year, but it didn't take long before it turned into all kinds of advocacy and leapfrogging.
The navy and some of the netizens who didn't like Eve immediately started to feel awkward, and they dragged Eve out to compare with various Hollywood actresses, both positively and secretly.
On the surface, it is said that Eve's acting skills are comparable to those of these great gods, but in fact, she is flattering and killing her, making ordinary netizens and audiences feel a little bored with Eve.
How can she be compared with Katharine Hepburn, Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe?
On the surface, this way of cross-dressing looks like the sailors hired by Eve, elevating her, a young actress, to an all-time high.
Questioning Eve's strength, questioning Eve's engagement public relations, questioning her heroine switching to a female supporting role, and comparing her with different god-level actresses to start a war.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this is a premeditated plan.
How could normal netizens and fans do such a thing? Isn't that a blackmail for Eve?
But some people will always be affected by these remarks, which will greatly reduce their impression points.
"To be honest, I also think the Golden Globes are too much. Eve is nominated for any movie she plays in."
"It is undeniable that Eve does have acting skills, but three nominations are really too much. Is every movie of hers so good that she must be nominated?"
"I liked her quite a bit at first, but it turned out that it was all caused by public relations."
"To actually say that Eve is comparable to or even surpassed the four-time Oscar queen, who gave her confidence."
"It's just a nomination for the Golden Globe Award, but it has already begun to be compared with the predecessors. We will talk about when we win the Oscar."
"Why are the Golden Globe nominations already inflated like this?"
"It's too much, do you think box office is everything?"
These gangsters came too ferociously, they were absolutely well-trained, and they simply pointed at where to fight, and spread rapidly on several large forums and entertainment websites, which did not conform to the logic of normal development at all.
Fortunately, CAA is not a vegetarian. Their public relations department has long anticipated that there will be negative rumors against Eve during the awards season, and has been preparing locally.
It would be best if no one was involved, and the situation is completely under control now.
Given so much commission income, it finally came in handy at this time. Immediately, accounts on various forums began to end, and contacted authoritative media such as Yahoo for news reposting and commenting, and also used film critics, entertainment intelligence agents and other personal connections Start to tell about Eve's past and the difficulty of achieving achievements.
At the same time, Eve has a lot of fans, but they are scattered. They are not considered star-chasers, but ordinary people.
These are the keys to propping up the box office, so when news that is not good for Eve comes out, they simply explain a few words from their own standpoint.
"Eve's Golden Globe nominations three times a year are not deliberately nominated. Her acting skills may not be as good as Katharine Hepburn and other god-level actors, but she surpasses them in terms of hard work. The rest of the actors don't have three movies released in a year. Why? How about three nominations?"
"As for the Eve PR award, I suggest you watch "Mulholland Drive", "Almost Famous" and "Legal Blonde". Which one is not a work with a lot of word-of-mouth? She is nominated for any award Not the bottom one."
""Mulholland Drive" is the BBC's No. [-] of the year, "Almost Famous" is Roger Ebert's favorite film this year, and "Legal Blonde" is the most popular work among comedy films this year. Cannes The best actress, the four major film critics associations all won, swept the outposts, and topped the screen actors' union award, it's really not someone who has no works."
"Is Eve so good that someone is jealous of her?"
"Congratulations! Another thing to say, everyone, don't focus on the nominations, winning the award is the key."
"Are you kidding? Who said Eve can compare with other acting masters?"
"Don't make noise, don't make noise, be sensible!"
"I don't know who is blackmailing Eve. She has such a strong record this year, and it's not that she won an award, but just a nomination."
No matter what the truth is, the companies of the two parties ended up using news and public opinion to attack, and even dragged down one authoritative media after another.
Eve herself has received so many nominations and has become the focus of public attention.
As a result, this debate and quarrel attracted even more attention. Today you have a news article, and tomorrow he will report it, as if helping Eve to increase her exposure. It’s because of "Legal Blonde" and "Almost Famous" The box office fell again!
Originally, many ordinary people who didn't pay attention to the Golden Globes knew that there was such an actress and those few movies.
The rental demand of "Mulholland Drive" in Blockbuster's stores has skyrocketed, and the online orders received by Netflix have also increased a lot. Even the TV stations that have purchased the rights to broadcast the film have seized the opportunity to start promoting the film, giving A replay at a recent time.
As a result, the ratings were much higher than the first broadcast!
This debate has even extended from North America to the other side of the ocean, and spread everywhere in the world.
Eve has a much higher star rating than the rest of the nominees. Many foreign fans may not have watched the popular films of the award season, nor the films of the other nominees, but Eve's two films are overseas. The box office starts at hundreds of millions, so the audience is naturally large.
Anyone who has watched her movies will not have any doubts about her acting skills.At the same time, some viewers who haven't seen the movie are very curious about these movies, what kind of movie can spark a big discussion about the Golden Globe Awards and acting skills.
Now Eve has reached the top of the IMDB actor list, and the search volume of several participating movies has skyrocketed, and there are gains and losses in the overall image.
Being splashed with dirty water, no matter how clearly the explanation is made, it will leave some traces.
But there is no perfect person in Hollywood, even good old Tom Hanks has black spots, let alone other superstars.
In fact, there are many such things in Hollywood. Most of the actresses are slightly better, and some of the queens in the music circle are the real divas.
As long as you can continue to output good works, no one cares.
Once you can't come up with excellent works, then the public will eat up the stars.
Even if CAA's public relations ability is strong, it can't prevent stars from being labeled with various stains. What they can do is to try their best to magnify the positive things, wash away the stains and make them almost invisible.
And wearing a crown, must bear its weight.
Which one of the top stars didn't come out amidst the rumors and gossips, no one succeeded directly.
……
At the airport, Keanu looked at his girlfriend reluctantly, and said with emotion: "Hey, can't we compete with our acting skills during the awards season?"
He used to be nothing more than a spectator during awards season.
The excitement is from the acting school and has nothing to do with him.
Although I also know that it is very common for various tricks to appear continuously during the awards season, but it would be too much to happen to my fiancée.
The two Weinstein brothers are almost Hollywood cockroaches. Some people know that they have no lower limit, but still want to cooperate with them for honor.
Now it's Eve's turn to comfort her fiancé, "Actually, I haven't lost anything, these are just the most superficial things."
"We are both going to film now, let Robert and Evan pay attention to the form of public opinion in Los Angeles." Keanu hugged Eve, and the two were unwilling to separate like Siamese twins.
After finally staying at home together for half a month, now we have to go to the set separately.
In fact, Eve was also very reluctant. She buried her head on her boyfriend's shoulder and said in a low voice, "I know. Try to finish the filming as soon as possible. Come and see me after the filming."
"There are not many scenes left, so it will be fine." Keanu assured, "We will meet again soon."
Keanu will fly to Sydney on a private jet, and Eve will leave tomorrow to Charleston with the "The Notebook" crew.
Some staff members of the crew have already done the logistical work there in advance, and Eve is one of the producers, so she has to go there to make preparations.
Christian Bale waited five days for the actors before going to the set to prepare for filming.
Keanu reluctantly stepped on the plane, and beside him was the little golden retriever wagging its tail, each of them looked back after a few steps.
After sending the two away, Eve returned to CAA with her assistant Mandy. She had several contracts that needed to be signed before leaving Los Angeles.
She hasn't met Sofia Coppola until now, and she doesn't know if there is something wrong with the "Lost in Translation" project, or she is unwilling to accept her own investment.
There's no way to procrastinate like this. Although Eve likes the script very much, she will not forget her main responsibility for filming, so she can only put it aside for the time being.
Thanks to the recent explosion of the box office and the big discussions in the Internet media, TV media, and news media, after her popularity soared, the two previously negotiated projects urged Eve to sign.
Weinstein really couldn't find black material from his private life, and all the black material was that Eve's acting skills were not good enough, and her morality was not good enough.
This is much easier than cheating, cheating, drugs, gambling, cults, abandoning wives and children, racial discrimination, and pedophilia.
Acting itself is a matter of opinion, and it is also forced to elevate Eve to compare with the other actors of the Conferred God, and it is not even a black spot.
After all, Eve herself has never made similar remarks, so it's not really a rumor, it's just a fabrication.
Apart from helping her increase her attention and topicality, it didn't have much impact at all.
In the weekend box office statistics yesterday, "Legally Blonde" earned $2540 million in the third weekend, winning the championship for the second consecutive week.
Under the influence of the Golden Globe Awards, the box office and word-of-mouth of "Cast Away" finally ushered in a certain degree of reversal, but the revenue of 2180 million US dollars was not enough to return to the championship.
"I Know Women's Heart" was only nominated for Best Actor in the Musical Comedy category at the Golden Globe Awards. Compared with last week, the box office not only did not rise, but fell by 25%, closing at 1510 million US dollars, even the third place. None of them kept it.
Because "Almost Famous" won a lot of nominations for the Golden Globe Awards, and Eve's popularity exploded, the box office itself fell to 1400 million US dollars last weekend, but this week it reversed
The box office curve that had been declining has come to a strange upward trend, pushing its North American box office to a height of 2.38 million US dollars.
At the same time, thanks to the influence of the Golden Globe Awards overseas, some other companies that have purchased the distribution rights have followed up one after another, wanting to share the joy of harvest.
The number one overseas ticket holder is none other than the United Kingdom, where rock and roll originated. A small band’s growth has captured the hearts of British audiences. At this time, it has already harvested 2300 million U.S. dollars. It is still in theaters and can almost challenge "Toy Story 2" 4400 million US dollars annual crown level.
The overseas box office has successfully exceeded 3.4 million, and the global box office of "Almost Famous" has reached a height of [-] million US dollars, which is much higher than many big investment films.
Rock'n'roll is a thing of the past in the American mind, but there's also family and growing up, and those are elements that audiences really like.
After being nominated for the Golden Globes, analysts at Columbia Pictures actually felt that the hope of the North American box office of this film produced by their company was rekindled.
The black material of the Weinstein brothers has turned into an assist, helping Eve's two films to continue to reap the box office market!
For this reason, people in Colombia want to present the two brothers with a best assist award. Without this discussion and the media chatter, Eve and related movies will naturally not get too much attention.
It’s okay to say that Eve was a blessing in disguise. Without Weinstein, she doesn’t know when she will have a movie with a box office of over 3 million US dollars in North America, and a movie with a box office of 5 million worldwide is even far away.
Representatives of Cartier and Estee Lauder have already arrived at the CAA office building, and they have been urging them to sign Eve as soon as possible.
After all, if it is later, it will be the double winner of the Golden Globe Award and the Oscar, and the price will be a little more by then.
Robert definitely didn't agree to sign the contract in advance, he just delayed on the grounds that Eve wanted to make a movie and didn't have time to make a blockbuster commercial.
Both parties know the purpose of the other party, and whether they can sign a contract actually depends on their interests.
Originally, the price of Cartier jewelry and watches was 600 million US dollars a year, but now it has increased by 100 million US dollars to 700 million!
The status of Estee Lauder's global spokesperson will remain unchanged from 800 million US dollars, but it will help Eve to appear on the cover of magazines, shoot fashion blockbusters, and place advertisements for fashion magazines.
Hollywood seldom talks about brand friends, a spokesperson is a spokesperson, don't make those fake.
Eve has already collected several first-line or top brand endorsements, and the endorsement fee alone is enough for her to be on the Forbes actor list next year, let alone making so many movies.
Labor will pay off, this is the truth!
If I don't come out to make a movie for a year or so, if I don't have strong capital support, I guess it will be forgotten by the market and the audience long ago.
She really enjoys the fun of filming, so many people think that Eve must be exhausted from filming every year, but she is totally enjoying it.
The only regret is probably that I can't stay with my boyfriend for a long time, but this kind of distance adds some freshness, and every time I meet, I will have a different feeling.
Mandy asked while driving: "Miss Campbell, can I take a leave later? Today is my boyfriend's birthday, and I plan to celebrate his birthday with him before going to Charleston."
"Of course, you can drive this car away later, and let Hawke pick me up in Keanu's car from the villa."
"Thank you, Miss Campbell. This is very important to me. It's the first birthday since I confirmed my relationship with him." Mandy's face was full of happiness, and it seemed that she was about to leave the assistant position .
Although Eve was a little bit reluctant to part with this feeling, she would not make things difficult for others on purpose.
The position of celebrity assistant is really not easy. You have to experience all kinds of prosperity and hypocrisy in Hollywood, and you have to travel all over the world. After marriage, women are generally unwilling to travel around like this, and want to be stable.
