Chapter 368 Time Magazine
In the bustling summer, almost every star came out of the hole.
Whether it's shopping, or traveling and vacationing, there are endless news almost every day.
Most of the paparazzi had to give up after staring at Eve for a few days, because this guy is too homely. He can occasionally see Keanu walking the dog and exercising, but he never photographed Eve going out.
As a result, there are a lot fewer paparazzi standing outside the gate carrying short guns, and only a handful of them persevere.
The main thing is that Eve's private life is very well protected. At the same time, she didn't form a gang, and she didn't have a small gang in Hollywood. She and the rest of the actors can only be regarded as ordinary friends, and they are still far from good friends.
The limelight is in full swing, and she is obviously unwilling to provide material for the paparazzi.
In the middle, I actually went out quietly, and they didn't drive by themselves, but sat in the back of the car.
Sometimes, he would ask his assistant Mandy to disguise himself as himself with an umbrella or coat, and then go out in a low-key manner after distracting the paparazzi.
It's just that such a move worked once or twice at first, and the paparazzi were naturally very unwilling to be cheated.
In any case, she successfully reached an agreement with Universal Pictures, and waited until the film's box office reached a bottleneck before announcing that she would not appear in the sequel, so as to attract topics and stimulate the box office.
At that time, whether it is positive news or negative news, it will revitalize the already tired market, which will arouse the curiosity of the media and pay attention to what happened.
In such a hot moment, there are naturally more media interested in Eve.
It's just that CAA's standards for interviews have been improved a lot. It's not the top media, and they can't interview at all, let alone shoot the cover.
Only this time there was an exception, because it was the famous "Time Magazine" that sent Eve the invitation letter!
In fact, this is not a magazine for the entertainment and film industry, but a comprehensive weekly current affairs magazine facing the world, covering a wide range of content, and has unique, true and detailed reports on various problems and phenomena in the world.
In addition to the American version and the international version, there are also multiple versions such as the Asian version and the Latin American version, and its influence is second to none among the weekly magazines in the world.
Political leaders, economic giants, business tycoons, and film and television superstars from various countries are all proud to be featured in Time Magazine, let alone being invited to shoot the cover like Eve.
The covers of recent issues of "Time" are almost all world celebrities, including US-President George Bush, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, and Britney, who claims to have become the American dream at the age of 17 Sweet Britney Spears.
All the content of this magazine is not written for experts, but for all busy readers, so that they can understand the dynamics of the world and find the content they are most concerned about.
After evading the paparazzi's pursuit, Eve was escorted by Keanu's assistant to the reserved studio, and her two agents had already arrived at the scene.
The American version of Time Magazine basically has 52 issues a year, which means there will be at least 52 covers.It's just that the cover of each issue may not necessarily be a real person, sometimes it will be a comic, and sometimes it will be an object or a picture of a scene.
Because each issue of the magazine will choose a theme, of course, it is centered on the current focus of the world's attention on people and events.
Of course, sometimes there will be a selection of the top [-] people, and the classification of each top [-] people is different. This year, "Time Magazine" revealed that Eve will become one of the top [-] most influential people. Invite her to be on the cover.
This is not to say that Eve must be No.1 in the Top [-], but that she has become very popular recently, and there is an in-depth interview besides the list, and she is also very suitable for taking hard photos, after all, she is also a fresh face .
"Our task this time is not just to take pictures. The reporter's interview later will definitely involve your new film, future career path, life path and other plans. You can just be yourself when answering, and remember to change some extreme views. Softer words."
Robert did not arrange any personality for Eve, but wanted her to express her true self.
After all, pretending is only for a while, not for a lifetime.
The whole of Hollywood and North America are all emphasizing on being yourself.
Eve nodded, and she said with a smile: "Don't worry, Time Magazine is not an entertainment gossip magazine, and they will definitely not ask about things that are too gossip. At the same time, they will not ask me stupidly about current affairs and politics. It should be all Ask me personally."
Since it is an all-encompassing theme, it is normal for people in the film and television industry and the music industry to be involved.
Every year, the top [-] people selected by Time Magazine include many stars in the entertainment industry. These people may not necessarily be top celebrities, but they are definitely the most powerful trendsetters of the year, with phenomenal songs or characters born.
"By the way, do you know where I am ranked?" Eve seemed to be hit by the god of luck now. The whole June was too smooth, as if all the good luck of this year had been prepaid.
On the just-announced weekend box office list, "Bourne Shadow" finally regained the championship after being suppressed for a week. "Pearl Harbor" did not live up to Eve's expectations. Sure enough, it received negative reviews from both critics and audiences, and gave up the weekend champion, which was not yet hot.
In this way, "Bourne Shadow" has its third weekend champion, and the next champion will have a head-on collision with Eve's other movie "The Notebook".
Many people think that this week's box office list will be very interesting, because the newly released movies are actually not competitive enough, and there are no heavyweight movies on the stage.
Previously, various film and television companies did not want to collide with "Pearl Harbor" when arranging the film's release schedule, lest the stamina would be too strong to take up the film schedule and attention, so it was postponed a little.
Almost all the films to be released this Friday are works with small and medium-sized investment, and the one that received the most attention is of course "The Notebook".
With only an investment of 3000 to [-] million U.S. dollars, he has a bug-level actor, and that is Eve.
The most direct competitor is Nicole Kidman's "Small Cry".
At this time, Nicole was still Mrs. Tom, and she herself had a great reputation, but she was far away from the position of the first sister, and she did not win an Oscar.
The confrontation between Eve and Nicole is not just a dispute between two movies. Some people even regard it as an indirect duel between Cruise and Keanu. After all, they are both in a certain sense. Sister-in-law.
There is another film that should not be underestimated. Produced by Disney, Anne Hathaway collaborated with "The Sound of Music" and "Mary Poppins" actor Julie Andrews. The film "The Princess Diaries" is very in line with the aesthetics of young audiences, especially teenager.
The thriller "Scary Cannibal" and the comedy "White Bitch" are all small cannon fodder.
Whether she can hold the weekend box office championship is a suspense. If she succeeds, she will leave her own record in the history of movies. She is the first actor to win the championship in three films alternately, and also the first actor who is guaranteed to win the box office in a movie !
With such a high degree of attention, "Time Magazine" will naturally want to expand its influence and use it as a benchmark for new actors emerging in the 21st century.
……
"Sorry to keep you waiting, our photographer had a car accident and is waiting for the police to deal with it. Why don't we start the interview first, and then start shooting when Bob arrives."
The person in charge of Time Magazine stood in front of Eve and the others with an apologetic face. Everything was ready. Who would have thought of such an accident.
Bob is a contracted photographer of "Time Magazine". He is very famous in the industry circle and is extremely good at taking portraits. Even magazines such as "The New Yorker", "People", and "Vanity Fair" are looking for him.
Eve didn't care too much about the order, stood up and said, "No problem, where is our interview? Is it right here?"
She felt that the interview should have a sense of ritual, otherwise it would be too much like a daily chat.
"Just in the garden next to the studio, our reporter is already waiting there."
"Okay, then let's go."
The news reports or interviews of "Times Weekly" will not sign the author. On the one hand, it is to protect the author, and on the other hand, it is to show fairness.It is not because a certain writer is famous that his work will be published, but it depends on whether it matches the content.
Eve followed the person in charge to the garden. The sun was just right at this time, and the mottled green shade under the big tree could save part of the heat.
The interviewer was a middle-aged man wearing glasses, who looked exceptionally elegant.He got up and shook hands with Eve, then pointed to the recording pen and video camera next to him and said, "Nice to meet you, Miss Campbell. You can call me George. Today I will conduct some interviews with you on behalf of Time Magazine."
"Good morning, George." Eve straightened her skirt and sat down. "It's an honor to be interviewed by Times. When I first heard the news, I was shocked. You know, this magazine means a lot."
Looking cheerful and excited, she joked, "I thought it was an April Fool's prank from the agents who were late."
If it is Vogue, ELLE, or Bazaar, there will be absolutely no surprises.
In fact, Robert and Evan Stove are already working on the cover of Eve's fashion magazines, which require careful integration with the brand and negotiations with the publisher.
George shook his head: "We're sitting outside the studio now, probably not to tease you. First of all, congratulations on winning the Oscar, and you have also won several box office champions in the recent film market. Everyone says that you have become the host The high priest of box office champions, what do you think?"
"Obviously it was just a joke. Maybe the next movie may miss the box office champion. It is obviously an accident to have this situation."
"How to say?"
"The success of a movie comes from many factors, and none of them will work without any of them. This summer file is only released together because the production progress of each movie is different, which creates such an illusion for everyone."
George nodded, he could see that Eve really thought so, she wasn't humble, and the whole didn't become impetuous or inflated.After some actors succeed in one or two movies, they only look up and vent their anger, and they don't want to keep their feet on the ground at all, so they won't be popular for a few days.
"You are so successful at the box office, did you deliberately choose such a movie that is prone to high box office?"
This is not only his problem, but also the thoughts of some netizens and film critics.Could it be that Eve chose commercial films when choosing movies, which is why she has such an excellent box office performance, and no number of famous movie stars can reach this level.
Eve counted carefully with her fingers: "There are so many film projects as there are fish in the sea, I will definitely choose one or two of them to shoot. But I didn't focus on commercial film shooting, you see I actually have A lot of movies are not box office hits, box office revenue is just an accident.”
""The Girl Who Moved Soul", "Almost Famous" and "Lost in Translation" are all literary. It can only show that the audience's eyes are sharp, and they can distinguish between a good movie and a bad movie. The market will not allow serious filming Movie people are disappointed."
While expressing her thoughts, she exaggerated the current market environment.
Whether it is a commercial film or a literary film, as long as it is a good film, it does not worry about the box office.
It's a pity that in a few years, the box office of literary or feature films will shrink year by year, and there will be no chance for drama masterpieces like "Forrest Gump" and "Almost Famous" to become the annual box office champions.
At that time, the annual championships were without exception, and they would all be huge commercial productions with high costs.
Film art will continue to be weakened and marginalized!
In fact, George already knew the answer to the question when he learned about the background of the characters before the interview.The reason why he asked this question was actually to give Eve the opportunity to explain to some people who are more extreme or slow to accept information.
"Everyone thinks you are too busy, you are shooting movies all day long, and there are several movies released almost every year. Why do you have such a strong urge to make movies? Don't you want to take a break?"
"Actually, I have always taken breaks. Every year, I may have more breaks than normal office workers. It's just that everyone sees my news all day long, and thinks that I have been working 360 days a day. In fact, many news are concerned about my private life. , please pay more attention to my videos.”
Eve drank her lipstick tea and said with a smile: "Of course, I do have more films than Keanu and the others. Because I really can't bear to miss the good books in my hand. These stories are so good that there is almost no repetition. Every time I shoot a movie, I feel like I have lived a different life."
As she said, in fact, there are only a few months of serious filming each year, but there are news before filming, news during filming, reports about the film's release, and it will be picked up after it is released.
That's why when you look at it, you will find that she seems to have a movie on the whole, and all the movies are being released.
Perhaps it was because the atmosphere of the interview was very relaxed, and Eve talked about many topics incessantly until the photographer who had a car accident arrived.
