[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 312 Ranking Soars

A week later, on the set in the suburbs of Charleston, the crew was busy.

The sun has set to the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the retro playground in front of us, and the lights have gradually turned on.The carousel, the roller coaster and the wooden Ferris wheel have a feeling of the 40s and [-]s.

This playground was built in advance by the crew on the open space of the studio for the filming of the movie, and it will be dismantled immediately after the filming of this episode is finished.

The crew really wasted a lot of energy when building the location, and couldn't let modern things appear in that era.

The ensemble has already changed into costumes and is putting on makeup, and local Charleston residents and actors will play carnival tourists and vendors here.

Eve had arrived on set an hour ago, and her look had been determined early on, and now she looks like a high-society lady.

At this time, the night wind is a bit strong and the temperature is very cold. The actors are now wearing coats over their skirts or shirts, and they will take them off later when shooting.

"Good evening, Miss Campbell."

"Good evening, Alexander." Eve smiled at the assistant director and asked, "Is Nick here?"

Alexander Bernard pointed to the studio not far away and said: "He is adjusting the camera position over there. The shooting is estimated to take some time, and you can take a rest."

This scene is to be filmed when Noah, a young man working in a lumber field, accidentally meets a beautiful girl while playing with his friends.When I saw this scene for the first time, I had to shoot Eve very beautifully, so that I would be convincing if I never forget Noah.

"The Notebook of Love" tells the story of brave pursuit. There should be no intersection between two people with a big difference in class. It was only after Noah's brave pursuit and persistence that he ushered in the possibility of dating Ellie.

So when chasing girls, you must have a thick skin, but at the same time you must have a handsome face and mastery, otherwise you will appear frivolous and greasy.

The film's director, Nick Cassavetes, was standing in front of the Ferris wheel in a down vest, discussing with the cameraman what to do later.

This episode may not have been in the movie screen for a long time, but it will take at least a week or more to shoot.

"Eve, you came just in time." Nick turned his head and smiled at her, and said, "I believe in your acting skills, but I still have to tell you what I think. At first you should treat him as a stranger, even to the other party. Stalking is tiresome. You don't have any romance at this point."

"Understood, the first shot should be Noah and Fern later, right?"

"Remember, what the audience wants to see is your real smile, so I will arrange the camera to capture you later, without you needing to pay attention to the position of the camera."

It's easy to play a city mansion, but it's very difficult to play a naive and romantic girl. Many people have lost that kind of purity and innocence.So that ordinary viewers can tell at a glance whether that kind of happiness is faked or not.

Nick asked, "Aren't you going to practice the bumper cars?"

"No, no, I'll shoot directly later. If I practice, I don't really feel that this game is fun. I want to save this feeling for the official shooting."

Like Ellie in the movie, Eve hasn't been to the playground for a long time to play these activities that she liked very much when she was a child.

Nick thought about it seriously, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Over there, Christian Bale is wearing a shirt and a beret, a typical worker's dress, and it seems that there is a big gap in height between him and the actor next to him.

Even though the clothes looked a little old and the color wasn't too good-looking, but Bell's own appearance was worth mentioning, standing there was very attractive.Tall and strong, with black hair dyed brown, he has a unique deep and melancholy temperament.

Noah in it is so romantic and handsome. Before meeting Ellie, he was considered a prodigal son, but after being with Ellie, he became very dedicated and in love.

Eve very much hopes that Christian Bale can play the role of Noah well. Romantic love movies require the hero and heroine to be attractive, relying on the protagonist to support the movie.

"Good evening, Miss Campbell." Bell waved at her with a little smile on his face. Eve has been very popular recently.

"Hasn't Shibby come over? It's been a long time since I saw her."

Xibe is Bell's wife and Winona's assistant. She had a good relationship with the crew of "The Girl Who Moved Soul" before.

A smile appeared on Bell's face when he heard his wife's name: "She will come to visit the class in a few days."

"It sounds like you are very happy. I will not bother you to prepare. You must show all your strength when shooting later. I hope that this movie will not only show up at the Golden Globe Awards, but it is best to make it to the Oscars."

This ambition is very big. Christian Belkong has an acting skill, but he has no chance to show it.

It’s hard to have a wonderful performance in "American Psycho", but there is no public relations. If there is public relations, maybe there will be some splashes during the awards season.

Now after hearing Eve's words, Bell is full of expectations for the next filming. He really wants to compete with Eve, an actor who is famous for his acting skills, and inspire each other to perform well.

……

Although the sun has set, the afterglow still hangs in the sky and refuses to dissipate. The movie is going to be a night scene, so it has to wait until it is completely dark.

The crew is recording the time of sunset and the time of darkness so that it will be more accurate when shooting tomorrow.

Eve was wearing a long red skirt under a windbreaker. Now the windbreaker can't keep out the cold, and it will be even more unbearable to wear a skirt later.

Mandy came over with a thermos, which was full of ginger syrup, which is definitely the water of life.

Regardless of whether it is an actor or an actress, it is impossible to wear too much when filming, so that there will be no summer feeling and no aesthetic feeling.

"Miss Campbell, just now I heard that this year's Forbes Celebrity List has been announced again. You seem to be ranked very high on the list." Mandy cheered and jumped in her voice. Although the money is not her own, but if the boss makes a lot of money, Your income will definitely be much higher.

In the first year as Eve's assistant, the income was less than one-third of what it is now, and the bonus salary was very high.

Eve was warming the baby on the back clothes, and she asked in surprise, "Do you know my name?"

Mandy shook her head, "The list has been announced, but the newspapers and magazines may not be available until tomorrow."

There is no internet on the set, so it is impossible to get in touch with the outside world in time.

The only way is phone calls and text messages.

On the North American continent, mobile phones have no signal in slightly remote places. Because the land is sparsely populated, operators will only install signal towers in prosperous areas.

She took out her mobile phone and dialed the manager's number.

"Robert, I heard that this year's Forbes Celebrity List has been released. Where am I on it?" Eve is still very concerned about this. Superstars don't need to pay attention to these rankings, but for those who have just set foot on the front line For stars, these data are needed to maintain their status.

"I sent the full list to your email an hour ago, didn't you receive it?"

Eve sighed: "Mandy and I were on the set, shooting night scenes for several days in a row, without a computer or internet."

"OK, let me give you a brief summary. You have risen from the bottom of last year to the top, ranking second among actresses, only lower than Julia Roberts, and the overall ranking is 19th. Forbes statistics make money The figure is $3500 million."

Forbes can't get the tax returns of the actors. These figures are all estimated by experts and must be different from the actual income.

Eve earned more than this amount last year, and other actors may have the same, there will always be errors.

The figure of 3500 million US dollars is enough to make people in the industry and netizens marvel, feeling that Eve has not been famous for two years, how can she make so much money in one year?

In fact, almost all of these incomes come from remuneration and dividends.

This year's "Mulholland Drive" copyright 5% sales bonus is quite a lot, the global box office is 2.1 million US dollars, DVD sales are gratifying, and there are on-demand fees. Eve's income has successively exceeded 1400 million US dollars.

"Legal Blonde" pays $100 million, plus 5% of the North American box office dividends. Now the North American box office has exceeded 2 million, which means her box office dividends are worth $1000 million!

In addition, there are $400 million in "The Bourne Movie", $800 million in "Shrek", and $400 million in Armani's endorsement fee, but neither of these two movies has been paid.

"Unfortunately, Forbes' statistics are too early. If the statistics are a few days later, the endorsements of Cartier and Estee Lauder worth 700 million and 800 million US dollars can also be counted, and then you can surpass Julia Roberts!"

Eve's salary for a single film is not high, and she relies on quantity and dividends to make up for it.

Julia Roberts directly earned $4300 million in two movies and a handful of endorsements. As the only actress in the world with a single movie of $2000 million, her advantage is very obvious.

As long as she acts in two films a year with no discount, the position of the number one actress is very stable.

Eve's annual film production has been reduced, and she is unlikely to be such a model worker. Fortunately, her film salary is stable at around 1000 million US dollars, and she can still get dividends, so it is very hopeful to catch up with Julia Roberts.

Young, beautiful and full of sense of fashion, these are all sharp weapons to help her catch up, at least Roberts does not have so many commercials and endorsements.

"Who is the number one earner this year?" Eve asked curiously.

The other end of the phone said silently: "George Lucas, he earned 2.5 million US dollars last year. Although "Star Wars Episode 1" was not made into a DVD, tapes and VCDs were the best-selling last year, and there are various derivatives. commodity income.”

Eve worked so hard to make movies and commercials and only earned more than 3000 million yuan, and that alumnus didn't make a movie last year, relying on the movie released on Christmas the year before last, and ended up earning so much, he really deserves to be a national IP.

"No.2 is Oprah. She hosts the show and writes books, as well as commercials, earning 1.6 million US dollars in one go. Although the Beatles have been disbanded for many years, last year they launched the collection "No.1" It sold 2000 million copies worldwide and helped the band earn another $7000 million."

The gap is really not a little bit big, the first three are big bosses, it's hard to hold a candle to them!

Eve knows that she still needs to work hard, and it will be difficult to surpass it only by actors. She must rely on producers, so that she can get more box office dividends and copyright dividends.

But in a year, the ranking has skyrocketed by dozens of places, which is already very good.
