[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 354 Many Expectations

Thanks to the film, Eve visited several scenic spots with the crew, learned and experienced flower arrangement skills, and worshiped at a temple, but missed the cherry blossom season on Mount Fuji.

She was also recognized by fans during the middle of the shoot, as her award-winning film is now being screened all over Japan.

The Japanese film market is huge, and it has been the second largest market in the world for a long time, and it has not yet been surpassed by China.Audiences in this film market don't like big scenes and special effects, and pay more attention to the plot of the movie.

Leveraging the success of the Oscars, "Almost Famous" landed in the Japanese film market, which is already the last market where it was newly released, and then raked in a box office of 78 billion yen in a month, which is amazing!

Eve's other movie "Legal Blonde" was released not long ago, but it didn't cause a big sensation. It only got 32 billion yen at the box office, which is almost 3000 million US dollars.

This figure is actually very good, and it has already ranked among the top ten in the annual box office ranking of imported films in the Japanese film market!After all, it is a romantic comedy movie of Monoclonal Antibody. Japanese audiences may have difficulty grasping the jokes in it, and they are almost all attracted by Eve's charm.

The performance of the two films is so good, which naturally makes Eve the goddess in the hearts of movie fans, which is why she is recognized on the street.

Fortunately, the crew noticed this in time, and at the same time, Eve didn't want to let the Charlotte she played be too dazzling on the street. She was just an ordinary girl living in a foreign country.

Even so, it has been recognized by fans and passers-by many times, and entertainment gossip reporters have followed along to film it.

Originally, Sophia planned to film secretly, but after being exposed by several major TV stations, she could only follow the official procedure.

Generally speaking, when a movie is filmed in Japan, the attention is not too high, probably only within the scope of Japanese entertainment.But this movie has attracted the attention of the media all over the world, after all, the cast is too scary!

"Lost in Translation" was very low-key from project approval to launch, and there was no fanfare publicity, because that was consuming the enthusiasm of the film in advance.Coupled with the fact that the entire movie was filmed in Asia, it is naturally much easier to keep it secret.

However, the producers never expected that Eve's popularity was so popular that Japanese audiences recognized her, which made her appear in various media.

Many people thought that after Eve won the Oscar, she would choose a big production or an Oscar-winning work as her new work, and many media people were looking forward to what choice she would make.

In terms of commercials, she has almost reached the ceiling of an actress. Among the commercial films to be released are the heroines of "007". Unless several major companies tailor a major female lead commercial film for her, it will be difficult to break through.

But in everyone's expectation, she actually chose a movie with an investment of just 1000 million US dollars, the director is Coppola, the co-star is a comedian, and she also participated in part of the investment.

Many film critics who like Eve are relieved. They feel that Eve still has pursuit of acting skills, and they did not leave the ocean of art films just because they won the statuette, but continue to pursue and support films.

Netizens and fans are also full of confidence and expectations for this movie.

Obviously, the name of the film has not been announced yet, but the popularity on the Internet has begun to boil, and some American film and entertainment magazines have contacted the film crew and Eve's agency, hoping to get some exclusive information from it.

"Love Bill Murray and it's great to see Eve working with him!"

"Eve actually invested in the movie himself? It seems that this movie must be very good."

"Sophia should be making a feature film, I love this lineup!"

"I haven't heard from Eve for so long. I thought she was living with Keanu. I didn't expect to go to Japan to film a movie quietly. Speaking of which, I am also very interested in Japan. Maybe I can travel there if I have the opportunity."

"Having said so much, what's the name of the movie?"

"I hope Eve can make a good film. She is one of the few young actors of this generation who are both talented and hardworking."

"It just so happens that the movie she dubbed will be released tomorrow, so I have to go to the cinema to see it!"

The recent time is indeed a good time for movie lovers. After the deserted spring season, the entire movie market is full of vitality.

First, the Cannes Film Festival opened, and various reports were indispensable, and then a bunch of blockbuster films were getting together and warming up, waiting to be released.

Among them, "Shrek" came out first!

This animated film produced by DreamWorks was shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival and will have its world premiere tomorrow. After the premiere in Cannes, theaters in other parts of the world will also start showing it one after another, thus kicking off the summer vacation.

……

In the business class of the plane, Eve was taking the time to put on her makeup, because there would be a bunch of reporters waiting to take pictures after landing at the airport.

She has just finished filming "Lost in Translation", and before she has time to travel around Japan, she will go to Cannes to attend the premiere immediately.

The main reason is that the shooting of the film crew was delayed for a few days, otherwise it would not have been in such a hurry, and there was no time to overcome jet lag and take a good rest.The dress, makeup artist and jewelry are all ready in Cannes, just waiting for Eve to pass by.

In addition to her small team, director Sofia Coppola was on the same plane.Because this year's Cannes specially held the screening of Francis Coppola's film career, Sofia also went to support her father.

How to put on makeup on a bumpy plane is a science. Eve didn't dare to draw eyeliner, for fear that the eyeliner would poke herself, so she just added some eyeshadow.

Although she is exhausted from traveling all the way, she is very glamorous as soon as she puts on makeup, and she will never leave any dark history in front of the cameras of media reporters all over the world.

During the Cannes Film Festival, there are a lot of flights taking off and landing near Nice, and planes from all over the world are heading towards this small city.

After Eve got off the plane, she walked towards the exit with the team, where reporters and movie lovers had been waiting for a long time.They may not be waiting for Eve, after all, there is no way to know the flight information, they just wait on the sidelines, no matter which international movie star comes over, they have to show up at the Nice airport.

Only a small number of fans are holding the attitude of trying their luck. After all, "Shrek" is about to premiere, and the official promises that the main creators will be present, so Eve will definitely come at this time. Think about the recent flight from Tokyo The flight time is naturally clear.

The flashes flickered one after another, turning into a curtain of light.

The reporters were extremely excited. The first few flights were all actors or directors from other countries. They may be well-known locally, but generally speaking, not many people paid attention to them.It turned out that it was so rare to catch an international superstar like Eve Campbell!

"Eve, look this way!"

"Can you tell me something about your new movie?"

"Why did you choose the movie "Lost in Translation"?"

"Miss Campbell, welcome back."

"Can you look this way?"

"You look so pretty today."

Reporters from all corners of the country pointed their cameras at Eve, who was guarded by the airport security. The stars in Cannes are not strong this year, and stars of Eve's level can at least be reported.

Facing the compliments from the reporters and fans, Eve smiled and waved at them. She seemed to be in a good mood, but she didn't stop walking and kept walking.

After receiving the flowers handed over by the representatives of the Cannes Organizing Committee, she, Sofia and the team headed towards the small island of Cannes, leaving a place full of admiration.

"The time is still a bit tight. If there is no traffic jam or accident, we will arrive at the hotel at five o'clock in the afternoon, and we will start walking the red carpet for the premiere at six o'clock. There is only a little more than an hour of makeup time." Mandy was a little nervous , this time is not enough for a female star!

The Cannes Film Palace is very close to the hotel, and the red carpet session only lasts 40 minutes, even if Eve makes the grand finale.What's more, there is no such thing as a finale at the film festival, and everyone is basically fighting for the red carpet to start.

Here, it is the most powerful thing to let the organizer clear the scene and take a solo shot at the opening of the red carpet.The more you go to the back, the more insignificant actors or even models or Internet celebrities, many reporters will stop shooting after the first ten minutes or so, and are ready to move to another place.

Eve herself is very popular, and she was shortlisted as the main creator of the film in the main competition unit. The most important point is that she won the Cannes Best Actress last year, and she has a very unusual relationship with the film festival, so there will be a flower delivery at the airport.

If the rest of the actors were changed, there would be no organizers waiting at the airport.

Red carpet makeup usually takes hours, not including hair and nails.

Seeing her assistant's nervous and anxious appearance, Eve said comfortingly, "It's okay, one hour is enough, we'll start putting on makeup now."

The make-up artist and stylist specially met her at the airport. In the RV that is driving smoothly, two make-up artists and a hair stylist are surrounded by her, like stars holding the moon. This is what made Sophia see Eve's superstar treatment one side.

When filming in Tokyo, there were only two makeup artists in the entire crew.

Her look had been discussed long ago, so there would be no chance of modification, it was a one-shot deal.

Mandy looked at the skirt over there, and whispered: "Mr. Stove is also here, and he is talking about contract renewal with Armani."

Unknowingly, Eve has endorsed Armani for a whole year. It is said that now Armani wants Eve to endorse all lines, not just clothing, but also bags, accessories, perfumes and make-up.

Last year and this year, the value has risen a lot, so agent Evan Stoff wants better treatment.

Since both parties have the intention to renew the contract, they are just discussing the specific terms now.
