Chapter 335 Big Poison Cake
All three of them know Eve very well, and they know that she is a person who talks about what she has, and doesn't beat around the bush.But I have never seen her say no to a project so clearly.
Although many other projects seem unreliable, she always studies the script, the behind-the-scenes production team and her acting partner, and refuses after considering various factors.
Now they only heard the name Catwoman, but they shook their heads and refused, which was really beyond their expectations.
Evan Stoff asked seriously: "Why do you think Catwoman is not good? This character is very popular. Michelle Pfeiffer's version of Catwoman is loved by audiences and fans."
The Catwoman played by Michelle Pfeiffer really surprised fans, she was full of sex-sensitivity, she was like a walking hormone, and both men and women liked it.
But she is from the 50s, and she is a bit too old to play the role of Catwoman now, so she was found as the leader of the new generation, Eve.
Both of them are sexy, but they are not of the same type, so I am looking forward to it.
These days, there are too few commercial blockbusters that allow actresses to take the lead alone. The recent "Charlie's Angels" and "Tomb Raider" are all of this type. Eve starred in "The Bourne", "007 Another Day" And Dead" is not considered a major heroine movie, so Evan and Robert wanted her to play Catwoman.
Eve's current salary has reached 1500 million US dollars. If she plays Catwoman, the salary is an important breakthrough point and publicity point.
The second actress to come to the 2000 million dollar club, officially launched her charge towards the position of Hollywood's No. [-] lady.
"Do you really think Catwoman is popular?" Eve spread her hands and asked helplessly: "She is just a supporting role in Batman comics, and she is also a super villain who is both good and evil. She has failed in Batman movies." Under the circumstances, Catwoman's expectations will not be too high."
"The last time Catwoman appeared was in the Batman movie in 92. It's been almost ten years since now, and the audience has probably changed a lot. This role can be brilliant as a supporting role, but it can't support a complete movie."
In "Batman Returns", Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman amazed countless audiences; and in "Batman: The Rise of the Dark Knight", Anne Hathaway's Catwoman also gained many fans.
Only Halle Berry's independent film suffered from Waterloo. The production cost of 5000 million US dollars, plus the promotional cost of more than 8000 million US dollars, the global box office was only [-] million US dollars, and Warner Bros. was about to vomit blood. !
The freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is only in the single digits. It swept all the awards of the Golden Raspberry and cut off Halle Berry, the Oscar queen, from her blockbuster career.
Obviously Catwoman is the first superhero movie with a black protagonist, but because of the poor quality, it is not recognized and well-known by the black community at all.As a result, many people thought that "Black Panther" was the first black superhero movie, and all the honors were added to it. After all, a movie with more than one billion dollars is not of the same order of magnitude as a movie with 8000 million dollars.
Eve is very self-aware, and doesn't think that if she plays this role, she will definitely be able to come back to life, and is likely to be abandoned and buried.
Keanu nodded in agreement, "I think this idea is correct. Has Warner Bros. conducted market research? Although I would like to see Eve wearing the Catwoman uniform, I still have to say that this project is too dangerous .”
One plays Batman and the other plays Catwoman. Warner definitely wants to play with the two of them, linking the ambiguity in the plot with reality.
After hearing her boyfriend's words, Eve couldn't help but rolled her eyes, and then slapped his arm. The tight uniform looked sexy, but it would definitely be very uncomfortable to wear!
"In fact, Warner has done a survey, surveying 1000 people in several cities, including whether they know Catwoman, whether they are willing to go to the cinema to watch an independent movie of Catwoman, and if anyone plays Catwoman, they are more willing to enter the cinema .Eve, you are the actor who is mentioned the most times."
Evan Stoff handed over a piece of paper with various statistics, and more than 31% of them chose her.
Eve was not moved, she said seriously: "Although I really want to play a superhero, it is definitely not this one, nor is it now."
The market for male superhero movies has yet to be tapped, and even less for female superheroes.Although I really don't want to admit it, this is the reality after all, and no one can directly change it.
"If you miss Catwoman, it will be difficult for you to find a suitable role." Robert persuaded, "You must be cautious, after all, this is a good opportunity."
They all know that choosing this kind of movie is both high-risk and high-yield. The main reason is that the long-term success has given the agents a kind of blind self-confidence, and they have begun to float, a typical inflation.
Eve doesn't have the optimism of these people. Each of her films is carefully selected, and most of them are actors and films that achieve each other, rather than saying that she really brought a certain film together.
"If you miss it, you will miss it. There will always be opportunities in the future. But I will definitely not pick up Catwoman now. If Warner insists on making an independent movie of Catwoman, I suggest that they can let Catwoman appear in Batman's movie first. If If the performance is eye-catching and the audience responds enthusiastically, then it will not be too late to launch."
What Eve is talking about is the way of "Wonder Woman". The stunning appearance of this female superhero in "Batman v Superman" has shocked countless audiences, so they are full of expectations for independent movies.
Without these more than ten minutes of foreshadowing, the popularity and expectations of independent films will obviously drop by several levels.
If Catwoman can make an outstanding performance in the Batman movie, then release an independent movie according to the trend, and write the script well, maybe there will be a different performance.
Anyway, Eve's plan doesn't include wading through muddy waters.
Evan saw Eve's resolute attitude, and didn't persuade him any more, "I will pass on your thoughts to Warner, and hope it will be taken seriously."
"That's right, just bring it up, it doesn't really have much to do with us." Eve had done her best, and she asked, "Is there anything else?"
This is probably a bit like an emperor, playing when there is something to do, and retreating when there is nothing to do.
"Aston Martin's endorsement contract has come out, and you will be the endorser for a new model of them. At present, there is no commercial shooting, because the car is still only in design, there is no actual production, and commercial shooting will be carried out in conjunction with the film promotion period , the endorsement fee is only 500 million US dollars, because this company has been losing money, and there is really no extra money."
"Not now, that's good."
Eve was worrying that she had too many advertisements, adding another car advertisement would be redundant.
Originally, everyone didn't expect to make much money by endorsing a super sports car. After all, super sports cars are very well-known and complement each other with celebrities.
Maybe when the time comes, Eve will be filming a car advertisement as a movie character. After the movie is released, the spokesperson status can be put aside.
"It seems that Aston Martin is still smart. I booked your advertisement for next year so early, I am afraid that your net worth will skyrocket after you win the Oscar."
"Forget it, that's about it, let's make a good impression on each other."
Sometimes there is no need to compete for the extra 100 million US dollars, it will seem haggling, anyway, Eve will receive a top-end sports car by then.
Eve originally thought that the matter was over, but suddenly thought of her own movie, so she hurriedly said to them: "You all know that I plan to direct a movie in the second half of the year, but it is difficult for me to support the crew by myself, so I need to With your help, which one of you has time to take on a little more work? At that time, I will sign the contract exclusively as a producer."
With one hero and three gangs, an ordinary crew needs several producers, let alone a start-up company like Eternal Pictures, which needs the help of others.
Evan spread his hands and said helplessly: "I'm a bit busy now. I have to do post-production with the Matrix crew and Batman. I think Robert can try to develop in the direction of a producer. Many agents are He's a great producer."
Robert was a little apprehensive. He was definitely willing in his heart. The whole of Hollywood is centered on producers, but he was also a little scared and timid, worried that he would not be able to take on this role.
"I have relatively good time, but I've never been a producer and things can go wrong sometimes."
"It's okay, I'm also a director for the first time, and there's always time to try." Eve clapped her hands and said, "It's not like you don't know anything, you helped me deal with it in "Mulholland Drive" before." Some work of the producer. What's more, I specially found an experienced producer to sit in charge."
"Who is it?" Robert asked curiously.
"Mark Johnson. I talked to him about this script when I was filming "The Notebook". He thought it was very interesting and had a certain prospect for the award season. He will be with you during the pre-production, and he will lead the script. You'll be better off."
Evan couldn't help but nodded when he heard the name, "It's great to ask Mark to be your producer. He has rich experience and a wide network of contacts. He can help you find the right photographer and the rest of the creative team as well as editors and composers. Those. And Mark is now the chairman of the Academy's Best Foreign Language Film jury and a member of the Academy's highest board of directors."
Even if Mark doesn't take the initiative in public relations at that time, but just introduces those old guys for Eternal Pictures, it will make the road to the Olympics of "Little Miss Sunshine" a little smoother, of course, the premise is that the quality of the film is really good.
"Then I'll take this job!" Robert agreed. He knew that he had to accelerate his growth, otherwise he would not be able to keep up with Eve's pace and would only be abandoned at that time.
