[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 331 Box Office Superstar

The ringing alarm clock woke Eve up from her sleep. She opened her eyes tiredly, and was surprised to find that she was actually in a hotel.

Just woke up, the head is still relatively slow.

After staring at the ceiling for a few seconds, I realized that Charleston, where I arrived at two o'clock in the morning last night, had already forgotten the prosperity of Hollywood.

From the airport to the hotel, and after washing those things, I only slept for about four hours in the middle. Now Eve is in a daze, very tired, and doesn't want to get up at all.

Keanu did not come back with her, but stayed in Los Angeles.

Evan Stoff revealed the plan of Warner Bros. It is impossible for the company that owns DC comics to keep shooting various popular characters. Coupled with the popularity of "X-Men", this makes Warner Bros. He strengthened his mind.

There is a golden mountain in front of him, of course he wants to dig it out.

Now Warner is actually not particularly anxious to make a comic book movie, because it has a lot of trump cards in its hands, and it is now very prosperous.The annual global box office total is around $20 billion, and this year it may be even higher.

The "Harry Potter" series will be released at the end of the year, as well as the "Matrix" series.

Warner is purely planning for a rainy day and intends to dig out another profitable series, so they have a discussion with Keanu to see which character is suitable for the big screen.

Keanu has collaborated with Warner in many films, and they are very familiar with each other. It just so happens that he himself is a man who likes comics, so he has to see which roles are suitable.

Now "Spider-Man" has not yet been released. If it is released, Warner Bros. will definitely not be as calm as it is now.

At the same time, Keanu has to stay in Los Angeles to experience life, experience the life of an ordinary father, and prepare for his role in "Little Miss Sunshine" in the second half of the year.

Eve actually knew that Keanu might want to take the role of Constantine in "Hell Detective". Although that movie was cast aside by comic fans, it contributed the most handsome role in Keanu's acting career and fascinated thousands of fans. .

She couldn't evaluate whether that character was good or bad for Keanu, and she hadn't written a word yet, so there was no need to worry too much.

After thinking about her boyfriend's situation, Eve thought about herself again, wondering if there would be any resource explosion after winning the Golden Globe.

When the mind is empty, time flies by very quickly.

When the alarm clock rang again, she pulled herself together, lifted the quilt and got up from the bed.

After Eve washed and changed, she appeared in the hotel restaurant without makeup, and received congratulations from the crew members one after another.

"Miss Campbell, congratulations, you won two Golden Globes yesterday."

"Thank you."

"Shouldn't you be celebrating in Los Angeles? Why did you come back so soon?"

"I came back after receiving the award last night, and there is still a scene to film today."

"congratulations!"

Fortunately, most of the staff had already finished eating and went to the set, otherwise the congratulations would have overwhelmed her.

She made herself an egg and a sandwich with some fruit and sat down on the table to eat, while her assistant Mandy came back with a stack of newspapers.

"Miss Campbell, there are too many news reports today, and several copies have even been sold out."

"Put it here for me, and I'll take a look at it later when I go to make up."

Eve didn't want others to read it out, and it was a bit ashamed to go from text to voice.

Mandy couldn't help reminding: "When I was reading the newspaper just now, some media received the news that you have signed a contract with MGM, and they are seeking confirmation from the producer."

"Shouldn't the Golden Globes be reported now? How could anyone pay attention to my affairs with MGM?" Eve was a little puzzled. These news were planned to wait a few days before the official announcement, and they didn't want to share the attention.

"Maybe it feels that everyone is reporting on the Golden Globes, so let's change our thinking."

"Anyway, it will be exposed sooner or later. Let's just wait for MGM to respond." Eve took a sip of milk, she didn't know which link went wrong.

The recent filming work is very intense. After breakfast, she took her RV to the filming site.

The hotel is not far from the set. When she arrived, all the staff members had already started working, and the set props were very busy.

The makeup artist has been with her for so many days and knows Eve's look completely, so it is natural to draw it with ease.

The sound of congratulations extended from the hotel to the set, mainly because the time was very timely. If they came to the set after a week, everyone would definitely not be so excited and happy.

Just saying thank you to people has already made her a little tired. Although everyone just said one word, adding up to a few hundred people is a bit too much.

In the RV, there was a large stack of newspapers in front of her with various reports.

"The Golden Globes are over, Roberts and Hanks are on the same stage, and the Oscar is expected."

"Keanu confessed his love to Eve, and both of them won awards."

"Eve scored two out of three, and won the Golden Globes with one lead and one supporting role"

"Almost Famous Four Awards in hand, become the biggest winner"

"Ang Lee won the best director, creating a miracle of Asian directors."

"Golden Globe Awards Ceremony Announced, Hanks, Roberts, Eve and Others Accepted Awards"

"All the actresses compete for beauty on the red carpet, and Eve Dongfangmei amazes everyone"

The most common report is to throw out the list of winners directly. There are not many comments, and the media that wants to be different will change their methods.

The "Los Angeles Times" directly gave the Golden Globes several pages, and almost contracted the entertainment section.

[On the evening of January 1 local time, the annual Golden Globe Awards ceremony kicked off in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.Many Hollywood stars came to the scene to help out, and the stars were shining brightly.

During the red carpet session, Julia Roberts' black dress with a backless back was noble and elegant, accompanied by her signature laugh, which attracted the media to take pictures again and again.Eve made her debut in Armani's customized Chinese-style cheongsam, which amazed everyone.Tom Cruise and his wife elicited screams from the audience, with Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Matt Damon and others in attendance.

In this year's Golden Globe nomination battle, "Almost Famous" took the lead in six nominations, and finally lived up to expectations, winning four heavyweight awards: Best Musical Comedy Picture, Best Screenplay, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Supporting Actor .

It is worth mentioning that Eve Campbell won three Golden Globe Awards this year, not only won the Best Supporting Actress Award for "Almost Famous", but also won the Best Actress in a Musical Comedy through "Legally Blonde" prize.

The foreign-language film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" became the winner in the best director melee, and the veteran actor Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts won the Best Actor and Actress Award in the drama category...]

Among these photos, the photos of Eve walking the red carpet and accepting awards on stage were selected, becoming one of the most memorable clips in the minds of the media and the audience.

Winning the Golden Globe has not changed much in the short term, but it is very helpful to shaping her own image. Eve is now an acting school and a big star.

When others mention it, they will say that she has won two Golden Globe Awards, her acting skills must be great, and she is an international star.

The award itself is a kind of affirmation. Everyone knows that some actors have good acting skills, but without awards, they always feel weaker.

Eve now has the box office, the awards, and the popularity is not lacking. The only thing that is lacking is probably the qualifications, and there is no other way to do it, but to increase slowly over time.

Popularity is a mysterious thing, invisible and intangible, so when discussing coffee status, it is usually through the three dimensions of awards, box office and film remuneration.

For example, Meryl Streep typically relied on awards to enter the first-line ranks. She starred in almost all dramas and won various awards.But in fact, her box office performance is not bad, because almost all movies have a good reputation, so they can recover the cost, but they can't compare with those commercial superstars.

Stars who have entered the front line through awards are usually relatively stable, even after a few years, they will still be remembered by the audience.

As for the box office, first-line stars fluctuate more.

It is necessary to consider not only the total box office, but also the box office performance of the past two years, and even the figures of the latest movie.

Acting for 20 years and earning a global box office of 20 billion U.S. dollars is obviously different from acting for 10 years and earning a box office of 20 billion U.S. dollars. The latter is obviously stronger.

At the same time, the recent box office performance is also very important. Even if you won the North American annual championship and the global annual championship ten years ago, but the box office performance has not been good in recent years, then you cannot be regarded as a first-tier star. It can only be said that you have reached the first-tier at your peak.

Relying on the box office to enter the front line does not just need a movie to explode, but requires a continuous output.

Like Kate Winslet, although she is the starring role of "Titanic" and has a global box office hit of 18 billion US dollars, no one says she is a box office superstar.Because there are no works with outstanding commercial achievements in the follow-up, almost all of them are literary films.

At this point, Eve has achieved a continuous output, and the box office of several films in a row has exceeded [-] million, and even has the North American annual crown in hand.

This made people in the industry surprised and envious, but at the same time worried, fearing that her debut would be the pinnacle.

If there are no box office blockbusters in the follow-up, then the period from the beginning of "Death Comes" to the end of "Legal Blonde" will be her commercial pinnacle.

Within a year, four films broke [-] million in North America, including one with [-] million, one with [-] million, and two with [-] million. It is difficult to surpass yourself with such numbers.

In terms of awards, even if Eve won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, she would not be able to become a superstar.Her real foundation lies in the box office of the movie, and in the income from the derivative products of the movie.

So some media began to "care" about her follow-up films.

The previous movies performed so well, if the three movies in the summer file do not do well at the box office, it would be a shame.

People including CAA are worried that Eve's upward curve is too exaggerated, if there is even a slight decline, it will definitely be played up by the media as the end of the world.

In other words, she can only keep improving now, and she can't retreat. A small hit at the box office no longer satisfies the media's appetite, and it must be a big hit!
