Chapter 346 Three Pieces Competing for Glory
In this year's Super Bowl, the Baltimore Ravens played against the New York Giants. Those players not only painted their faces in camouflage, but even wore helmets. They could only be identified by their jersey numbers.
Anyway, Eve didn't know anyone, just watched the excitement and listened to the extremely excited voice of the commentary.
There are only two NFL players she knows, one is Tom Brady, and she knows him because of Gisele Bundchen; the other player is Michael Oher, the prototype character of the movie "The Weakness".
On the other hand, Keanu and others are staring at the screen with relish, concentrating on discussing the progress of the game.
"Lewis is a little bit good this year, leading the Giants by so much at halftime."
"The Baltimore Ravens are basically fine this time, and the disparity is so big that they won't be overturned."
"It's so rare."
"The results have exploded."
"Will it be the Ravens' first Super Bowl?"
Keanu chatted with other friends with a beer bottle, but he was still very careful, always paying attention to his girlfriend's emotions.
Eve is not a narrow-minded person. She thinks this kind of passion and blood is very good, and it's not bad to be a layman to watch the excitement.
When the referee called the first half over, some crews quickly started installing the stage.
Since it is the Spring Festival Gala in the United States, performances must be indispensable. The most famous halftime show is Michael Jackson in 93. At the beginning, he remained motionless on the stage for tens of seconds, making many audiences think he was hallucinating.
Stars from all walks of life have participated in the halftime show. Last year, superstar Phil Collins, Spanish prince Enrique, rock queen Tina Turner, new generation female singer Donny Braston and Christina Aguilera .
This year Eve found that there are also many acquaintances on the stage, such as actor Adam Sandra, the rock group Aerosmith, and old friends Superboy, as well as Britney Spears, Mary J-Bly, who are popular all over the world. Ji, Neely and others.
Now the halftime show is a bit similar to a platter concert. Everyone performs individually, and there is no such thing as the posture of one person holding the whole audience in the later generations.
After watching a concert, Eve has been waiting for her movie trailer.
During the first half of the game, various advertisements have appeared, including but not limited to Budweiser, Dodge, Volkswagen, Nike, HP, Coca-Cola, etc., among which several blockbuster summer movies have released trailers .
However, none of Eve's three movies were found, and it seemed that they were placed in the second half.
The rugby game is very loose, and there are many opportunities for live TV stations to insert advertisements. After all, more than 1 million people watch the live broadcast, as long as they can convert a little audience, they can have a great influence.
After the time entered the second half, the lead of the Baltimore Ravens was further expanded, and her first movie finally appeared in the gap!
A 30-second commercial for the Super Bowl costs $400 million. Only commercial blockbusters can advertise at this price, and the rest of the movies don't even think about it.
The first thing to appear on the TV screen was "The Bourne", but at the beginning it was only the face of Matt Damon. He walked on the road with an innocent face on the surface, but his sharp eyes She was looking around all the time, but Eve, who was wearing a suit and wrap skirt, passed him by.
In the next second, Eve is held hostage by Matt. The two of them shuttle through the dense crowd, one with a nervous and frightened face, and the other with a ruthless face.
Fights, gun battles and escapes, wonderful scenes come one after another.
Matt Damon's fight is naturally the top priority, and Eve's picture is not just a vase.
The woman in the workplace who was still exquisite in the front turned into a sloppy state after a while. She even held a gun in her hand and even tied up the actor Matt Damon. It didn't look like a fuel-efficient lamp.
In fact, Eve, the heroine, uses wisdom in many plots, so she must appear weaker when editing the fighting scenes, so Universal Pictures edited some makeup and disguise for her, and finally helped Jason Bourne This memoryless super agent searches for the past.
The normal trailer is 2 minutes, but the Super Bowl is only 30 seconds, there is no time to tell a complete story, only the most exciting content can be used to attract the audience.
"It seems that this movie is very interesting. Is the character you play also an agent?" Chen Hu asked. He didn't know the content of the movie, so he simply made a guess.
In the front, Eve still seemed to be held hostage, but in the end, she held the hero hostage instead. In the end, she even felt like falling in love.
Eve shook her head and replied, "No, but she should have the potential to become an agent."
Brett, the lead singer and guitarist of the Sirius band, said thoughtfully: "This movie should be popular. Just now I saw that the fighting is very straightforward. It is so creative to pierce someone's palm with a ballpoint pen! You can watch it in the movie. There are a lot of roles."
"I'm the heroine. If I have too few roles, I'm called a supporting actress." Eve and Brett have known each other for a long time, so they didn't see each other very much, and said it directly as a joke.
"It feels really good. This should be a good movie." Chad agreed, whether it was from the standpoint of a friend or an audience, he found the trailer of "The Bourne Shadow" very interesting, showing a unique The fight, and push the hero and heroine to the public.
It's just that these two people seem to be shrouded in a layer of fog, and they don't know how the story will develop.
There are actually not many people who have read the original book, and those people are usually older, and they are not very interested in the Internet or the Super Bowl.
Netizens who watched the live broadcast were all at a loss, wondering what Eve's identity was, and was she intentionally or unintentionally kidnapped in the first place?
Why do these two people fall in love with each other?
What is the identity of this pair of men and women?
Who the hell wants to kill them?
Too many questions appeared in the minds of the audience, just like the title of the movie, what is Bourne's identity?
In just 30 seconds, everyone was very interested in this movie and wanted to go to the cinema to solve these confusions.
Universal Pictures understands the feelings of netizens. The advertisement on the TV here has just finished broadcasting, and it is uploaded to the Internet immediately, so that netizens can slowly pause frame by frame, and even use a magnifying glass to look for clues of the movie.
Eve has not recovered from the wonderful trailer of "The Bourne Shadow". Although she is a movie actor and participated in the shooting of most of the plots, it is the first time that she has seen the edited clips like everyone else.
Just from this clip, it can be seen that the director's control over the plot, the precise handling of the action scenes, and the degree of control over the audience's curiosity will definitely be the bomb of this summer's file!
She picked up the phone and was going to send a message to director Doug Liman to praise and thank her, but she was interrupted by her boyfriend just after picking up the phone: "Look, it's your movie again."
"what?"
Eve quickly stopped what she was doing, raised her head quickly, and saw the green monster on the TV screen.
In the half-minute trailer, "Shrek" presents its spoof side in full swing. The image in the magic mirror is a man. The seven dwarfs with Sleeping Beauty are rejected by Shrek. Pinocchio lying on the ground The nose keeps getting longer, the wolf grandma in the bed is ruthlessly thrown out, and the princess locked in the castle has also become a joke.
Pretending to faint, waiting for Shrek to wake him up with a kiss, he didn't forget to get up and hold a bouquet of flowers in his hand.When fleeing for his life, he paid attention to his appearance and dreamed of a princess dream that is common in Disney fairy tales.
Everyone thought that this was a serious patient with princess disease, but they didn't expect a big reversal in the last ten seconds. It seemed that some older princesses had become martial arts masters. Accompanied by Eve's voice More than a dozen bandits were defeated.
He was still heroic just now, but when he turned around, he turned into a shy look, and said lines like "a girl should learn something to protect herself when she is alone outside".
The audience had exactly the same expressions as Donkey and Shrek, and their jaws dropped in shock!
With such a strong and agile skill, he can escape from the dragon by himself, so why does he need others to save him?
Little do they know that this is exactly the propaganda policy of DreamWorks, making the audience laugh from beginning to end, not only being overwhelmed by the movie's humor, but also curious about the hidden plot.
To be honest, most people grew up watching all kinds of fairy tales, but in "Shrek", they brought out all the characters in these fairy tales, which made people laugh out loud.
The three little pigs who lost their house, the donkey who was enchanted by the fairy godmother, and the distinctive hero and heroine, everyone couldn't help but wonder, what kind of weird movie is this?
Eve couldn't help laughing out loud in the room, and the rest of the people had the same reaction. This animated movie is a spoof!
Especially the audience who knew about the entanglement between DreamWorks and Disney are looking forward to it. The trailer is so interesting, so how will the feature film make everyone laugh?
The trailers for these two films are interspersed with commercials for high-tech automotive food products, and either one is enough to make people remember.
……
Robert Irving is sitting in his living room, and he has also learned from various distributors that the three movies will gather in the Super Bowl.
As an agent and a newly promoted producer, I have always paid attention to the comments in the media and the Internet. Now that the laptop is placed on my lap, how can work be important in a football game!
The first two trailers surprised him a lot. The whole thing is exciting, and Eve's role in the trailers is not bad.
In "The Bourne", she is definitely not as good as Matt Damon. After all, the real protagonist is Jason Bourne, but the weight is actually almost the same, not a vase.And in "Shrek", it is also the protagonist's treatment.
Even if she is filming these two films now, she still can't advance the position. It is due to the limitation of the subject matter, and the characters she plays are not the most soulful ones.
Unless it's a major heroine movie, it's hard to beat the male actor in the fan position.
"This movie was also narrated by Eve? It looks very interesting. We can watch this movie first. If it is suitable, how about taking the children there?"
"Yes, you can take your children to watch this cartoon, it's a type of family carnival."
Robert's wife is considered an outsider, and she doesn't know who the rest of the voice actors are, but it's interesting to watch the plot. Although the style of painting is strange, it is cute, which is completely different from other animated films.
This is actually the feeling of many ordinary people, who think it is very unique.
Uniqueness can easily lead to two different results, either box office and word-of-mouth hit, or both lose.Basically, there is no middle option, and I don't know which one "Shrek" is.
While the game was continuing to be broadcast live, Robert began to check the comments of netizens on the Internet again, and found that everyone really received rave reviews, and his expectations were overwhelmed!
"Have you seen the trailer for "Bourne Bourne"? Eve's figure is too hot!"
"She looks a lot like a secret agent."
"The hair color is so beautiful, I wish it had been released sooner."
"This is the movie with Matt Damon, they look so good together."
"I was terrified by Matt. He actually used a ballpoint pen to hurt people. Sure enough, there were murder weapons everywhere!"
"This movie looks very interesting, unlike Mission: Impossible or 007."
"I heard that Eve will play 007 next. I wonder if it is possible for her to play a role in Mission: Impossible. I really want to see her movie with Tom Cruise."
These netizens almost all praised it unanimously, and some even suggested to play "Mission: Impossible".If it is really successful, then Eve will be the first actor who has assembled the three major spy movies.
Others treated this as a joke, but Robert was seriously thinking about the possibility.
Anyway, Eve is a one-time heroine, neither "007: Die Another Day" nor "The Bourne Shadow" has any sequels, so you can indeed discuss it with Tom Cruise.
Last year, "Mission: Impossible 2" had a global box office of more than 5 million US dollars. Although it was Tom Cruise's solo show, if Eve participated in the show, it might have a different effect.
It's just that Robert didn't plan to pick it up now, but planned to wait another two years, otherwise a spy movie every year would be too dense.
Quickly recorded this idea on the memo on the computer, and then he went on to read the rest of the comments, only when everyone agrees is good.
Commercial films don't expect any good opinions from film critics, and the goal is not to be scolded too badly.
In comparison, "The Bourne Shadow" is actually more satisfactory, and it is an expected blockbuster.
On the contrary, "Shrek" has a kind of groundbreaking, a kind of humorous ridicule in it. This may be the animated movie that people have seen the most jokes. If you don't pay attention to it, it is an easter egg.
Discussions about Disney's fairy tales have become rotten and outdated, and DreamWorks came up with a thorough mockery. These ridicules just hit the audience's laughing point, making them agree with it very much, and subverting it very thoroughly.
People who use the Internet are more fashionable and trendy, and they are very receptive to new things, so there are many more discussions about this animated film.
Originally, it had the halo of being shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival, but now that such a unique plot content has been revealed, the attention will naturally explode.
Almost every blockbuster movie in the summer has released a trailer as an advertisement on the Super Bowl, but the clicks of these trailers on the Internet are very different.
Spielberg's "Artificial Intelligence", Michael Bay's "Pearl Harbor", Angelina Jolie's "Tomb Raider", the hit movie sequel "The Mummy Returns", and "The Mummy Returns" where the gods and goddesses gather together Movies such as "Ocean's Eleven" actually lost to a cartoon in terms of clicks!
It is conceivable how popular and interesting this movie is in the eyes of North American netizens, and the box office prospects are really good!
The more people pay attention, the more doubts will arise. Audiences who like this style will like it very much, but those who don't like it will hate it very much, and the polarization is serious.
"This is the level of being shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival? It's just a sensational animation."
"It looks so interesting! That Shrek who looks like the Hulk turned out to be the main character, hahahaha."
"What's the matter with the princess? Her skills look very good."
"God doesn't know how many times I have watched this 30-second video, there are too many classic characters in it."
"I hope someone can sort out this structure."
"No wonder this film was shortlisted for Cannes, this is clearly postmodernism!"
"Do you think the princess will be with Shrek in the end?"
"Anyway, I'm definitely going to see this movie in the cinema, donkeys are really interesting."
"Is this a hero saving beauty?"
"Hahaha, if the hero who comes to rescue is a monster, will the princess fall in love with him?"
To be honest, not everyone likes to watch the Super Bowl. When someone really extracts the easter eggs that appear in these 30 seconds frame by frame, and even builds a tall building in the forum, everyone really picks up the magnifying glass and starts Look for clues inside.
What Jack and the Pea Giant, Dwarfs, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, David the Dwarf, Little Red Riding Hood, Grandma Wolf, The Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Pinocchio, Peter Pan, The Three Little Pigs, Fairies, Elf, Three Blind mouse, dwarf, witch, piper, executioner, gingerbread man, magic mirror, King Arthur and more.
The film is not a simple accumulation of elements, but perfectly integrates them into the plot, so that everyone can understand what is going on in this story.
It is nothing more than the fact that the king hired Shrek to go to the dragon to save Princess Fiona. This is the simplest main plot.
Animated movies are aimed at all ages, and the plot must not be too complicated, otherwise the children will be very confused.
There is no way for everyone to accuse the plot of being simple, because they are all afraid of being slapped in the face.
After all, 30 seconds is too short, and the edited story may be as far away as the real story.
No one dared to make a conclusion.
Anyway, Robert thinks that this kind of controversy is very good. You can say something to each other, so that the popularity of the film will not drop. It is best to keep the heat of the discussion. It would be better if it can be expanded.
These two films are not the films that Eve was in charge of. The film "The Notebook" that is really in charge is still in the intense post-production, and a lot of work has not been completed. This time, it was cut in a hurry to cope with the Super Bowl. Make a short trailer.
The cost of the film is very low, and there are some readers of the original book, but the box office can only be supported by Eve and her chemical reaction with the leading actor.
Now it's time to see how audiences react to these two actors.
A man and a woman are rowing a wooden boat on a calm lake, and a boy on a country road is riding a bicycle to carry a girl. With the narration of the elderly, the scene turns to the nursing home.
An elderly man with a notebook reads a story to an elderly woman with silver hair and a red dress.
Then the scene changed again, and the young Eve and Christian Bale met for the first time on the wooden Ferris wheel at the carnival.
This young couple is the protagonist in the story of the elderly, and the switching of perspectives is very clear and smooth.
The first part is about the couple’s daily love and dog food, and the middle part becomes a quarrel. Later, the heroine and the second male lead are together again, but they never forget the male lead, and even go to the door.
At the end of the trailer, the old woman asked the question the audience wanted to know the most: "Who did Elle choose?"
In these 30 seconds, it is completely Eve's personal display time, basically her personal show, and the appearance time of the other actors may not be as much as her.
In the previous movie, it was suspected of being a secret agent. In the middle, it played a guest role as a princess, and now it has become a young girl in love.The unwary audience would not be able to tell that the two roles were played by the same person. They are simply versatile actors who can act whatever they want!
After seeing the trailer, Robert turned his head and said to his wife without any surprise: "Eve is very beautiful in this movie, and after the movie is released, her popularity will definitely skyrocket and she will become the most popular and most desirable actress in the United States. "
Several sets of retro styles from the last century are just right for Eve. Renmei looks good in everything she wears, and she is also a considerate character.
Who knew that his wife didn't care whether Eve would be popular or not. She asked with concern: "Who is the heroine at the end of the movie? I guess it should be the male protagonist. He looks very handsome."
"Why not another person? He also looks very handsome, and he also played Cyclops." Robert deliberately raised the bar, wanting to hear other people's opinions.
"Because she and the hero are in true love. Although there are only a few shots, it can be seen that she loves the hero. And the story is complete like this! Am I guessing right?"
"Want to be spoiled or not to be spoiled?"
Robert asked an age-old question.
After struggling for a while, the wife replied, "Just tell me the final choice, and don't say anything else!"
"I chose Noah, that's the leading actor."
"Let me just say it! It must be like this, otherwise I will definitely not be satisfied later." She was very happy after getting the answer she wanted, and at the same time asked curiously: "I still have a small question, these two old people Who? Why would he tell the story of Noah and Ellie to others?"
"What I'm going to say is too spoiler." Robert pointed to the study and said, "I have the original book over there, you can find out after reading it."
Not only his wife, but netizens are also confused by the identity of the elderly. Who are they?
