Chapter 374 Love Classic
Seeing that they couldn't find any news from Eve, the reporters immediately turned their target to Keanu next to him, hoping to find some clues from this seemingly easy-to-talk star.
"Good evening, Mr. Reeves. Do you know of this film directed by Miss Campbell?"
After all, Keanu has been in the entertainment industry for so many years. As long as it is something he doesn't want to say, it's useless for others to ask.Obviously, the fiancée didn't want to steal the limelight of the upcoming movie, so she replied: "I know, she has been in contact with the screenwriter and producers very early, and she has put a lot of effort into this movie."
The public relations staff next to him felt that the topic was getting more and more biased, and reminded him in a low voice: "This is the premiere of "The Notebook", friends from the media, please ask more relevant questions."
The two actors can't be picky, and the bad guy role of black face can only be played by the staff.
It just so happened that the time was almost up, and Christian Bale, the heroine of the movie over there, had also arrived at the starting point of the red carpet. Eve tidied up her skirt and was about to leave.
Now Bell is not well-known, if Eve and Keanu stand still, no reporter will interview him.
"Miss Campbell, one last question. Can you predict the box office of The Notebook?"
Eve will not fall into the pit, she said with a smile: "Of course I hope the box office will be very good, and I hope the audience will like this story."
To give a specific number is to die, or to say that it is too modest, or that it is terribly inflated, or it is safest to leave it to the market.
The reporters reluctantly watched the couple walking slowly, and the fans were also very excited, waving stills or photos, or disc cases, trying every means to attract attention.
Eve came to the side of the railing, picked up a pen and quickly signed on the items provided by the fans. Some male fans didn't bring any paper, so they just pulled the T-shirt over and asked her to write their names.
Keanu noticed that the fans were so excited that they wanted to pounce on him. He turned into a flower protector to block the excited fans, regardless of gender.
It wasn't until the two of them entered the screening room that Keanu's vigilance gradually decreased. This group of people was so crazy that it could be seen that his girlfriend was indeed popular.
"Good evening, Nick." Eve hugged the director.
Nick Cassavetes is now so nervous that cold sweat is breaking out on his forehead. It is difficult to transition from an actor to a director, but as a director, he is under the pressure of the outside world. If the box office and word of mouth are not good, the negative impact will definitely be magnified.
"I hope that the film critics will be merciful and don't make us too ugly." Nick wiped his sweat with a towel and said with emotion: "Don't let our movie affect you."
"Time Magazine" came too suddenly, which must be a good thing for the announcement of the film.But for the director, this kind of excessive attention seems to be too stressful.
Eve's Dragon's Gate is that movie, and it wouldn't be the case for any other big-budget movie.
On the contrary, Eve comforted the director, "Our film was shot very well, didn't the response during the internal preview be very enthusiastic?"
"Maybe it's just that everyone is too embarrassed to say it's not good." Nick was a little unconfident. "The Notebook" is really just a romantic movie. If film critics want to see too much art from it, it will definitely not work.
At this time, several producers of the film had just got together, and they were all smiling, completely different from Nick's reaction.
Toby Emmerich, as the president of New Line Pictures, has a typical middle-aged Caucasian appearance, with a suit and leather shoes and gold-rimmed glasses. He looks like a shrewd businessman.
Originally, they expected the North American box office of "The Notebook" to be between 8000 and [-] million. As a result, the box office of Eve's previous two films exploded, and the number of topics and attention has also surged recently.
Internal forecasts are all in units of [-] million, and they are very optimistic about Eve's appeal.
"Good evening, Miss Campbell. You look wonderful today."
"Mr. Reeves, we haven't cooperated for a long time. If there is a chance, I must invite you to act in one of our movies."
"It happens that my schedule next year is relatively free. Is there a suitable role?" Keanu said bluntly. His girlfriend is developing so well now, and he has also received a kind of encouragement and whipping. To actively seek opportunities.
Toby Emmerich was originally just out of courtesy, others don't know, doesn't he know?
Warner Bros. has already prepared the contract, and the new Batman has long been no secret.
"Mr. Reeves should prepare Batman next year, right? Is there still time to shoot the rest of the film?"
Keanu nodded with a smile, "Now we don't even know what the movie is going to be. Next year we may just be looking for a screenwriter and director."
Lynn Harris, the director of the production department over there, stood with Mark Johnson and Eve. He felt a little proud that this project could become the brightest stroke on his promotion resume!
"The film is finally about to be released, after waiting for so long."
"Yeah, but when I think about it, the preparation and filming seem like it was just yesterday." Eve knew that she had to cooperate well with New Line Films, because "The Notebook" and her box office dividends as the starring and producer Woolen cloth.
If the relationship goes bad, although the things written in black and white in the contract will not be swallowed up, it can still be done after a year or two of delay.After all, the billing period for a film is very long, and New Line Pictures often has ways to delay.
Fortunately, Eve was signed by a top Hollywood agency, otherwise she would be easily deceived by the tricks of these companies, such as making a net profit, net profit dividends, and so on.
People who are not familiar with Hollywood will be calculated by this unique financial accounting method.Including now, there are still actors, directors, and producers suing the film company, because they did not get a share of the net profit from a high-grossing film even though the film was a big box office hit.
In Eve's memory, the director of "Lord of the Rings" Peter Jackson had such disputes with New Line.What's more, in the financial statements of Warner Bros., "Harry Potter", which has a global box office of more than 9 million US dollars, is actually in a state of loss, which really made the original author JK Rowling suffer a lot.
She and New Line Films are still in the honeymoon period. Although the company is small, it often produces high-quality products. Maybe one day there will be a suitable script and project.
In fact, everyone was a little nervous and anxious. After exchanging pleasantries, they went into the auditorium and sat on the chairs.
The temperature of the air conditioner was adjusted a little low. Eve's tube top dress was originally cool outside, but it was a little cold inside.
She folded her hands on her chest and turned to check for her assistant Mandy.
Keanu noticed his girlfriend's condition, reached out to touch the temperature of her palm, then took off his suit jacket without saying a word, put it lightly on Eve's shoulders, and said in a low voice, "It just so happens that I wear so many clothes. hot."
The two are really an extreme. During the previous red carpet, Keanu was wearing a suit shirt and black leather shoes, and his forehead was sweating.It's not easy for a male star. Few people go on the red carpet with just a shirt on.
It was still a bit cold at first, but now the coat that smelled like her boyfriend enveloped her directly, and there was even a trace of warmth on the clothes.
"Honey, you're so kind." Eve turned her head to look at her boyfriend with big watery eyes, and gently leaned over to kiss the corner of his mouth.
Keanu held his girlfriend's hand, as if it would make her warmer, and he was unwilling to let go for a long time.
Christian Bale and other stars invited by New Line Films entered the venue one after another. Of course, greetings and greetings were indispensable.
It has been a long time since the whole set of procedures has been completed. Those film critics and lucky audiences are all ready to see how Eve is in this movie. Anyway, judging from the appearance of the stills, it is very retro and charming.
The original book of the movie is a bestseller, but most of the film critics don't have time to read a book. How can watching a two-hour movie come quickly.
At the beginning of the film, there is an old lady who still has a charm. She looks very good-looking, let alone when she was young, she is still beautiful now.She lives alone in the nursing home, and she has no close relationship with other patients and nurses.
There is only one elderly man who reads to the old lady with a notebook almost every day.
If it was an ordinary audience, they would definitely wonder if the wrong movie was shown at this time. They were obviously here to see Eve, but it turned out to be two people from the grandparents' generation.
Fortunately, the film critics at the scene were quite patient. They were very curious about the identities of these two people, and they were also guessing whether this could be an elderly hero and heroine. The name of the movie is the notepad in the hand of this old man.
Sure enough, the film brought the audience back to the hot summer in the 40s with the tone of old people telling stories!
The film is divided into two clues, one is the elderly group and the other is the youth group. The advancement of the plot is very clever.
The audience is just like the old lady, as if they are listening to other people's stories, yearning for the passionate and sincere love of young people.
The whole story can be said to be ups and downs, from the beginning of the heroine's disgust, the hero's sloppy pursuit, to the two young men and women falling in love; then the summer is over, the heroine's mother puts her family's opinion on the bright side, so in reality Under the blow of the situation, the two had to break up.
After the breakup, the war broke out. One of the two people who had no contact with each other went to join the army as a soldier, and the other went to work as a nurse.
Just when everyone thought that Noah and Ellie would meet on the battlefield or after the war, the screenwriter weaved different clues.
When Ellie was a nurse, she met Hammond, the second male lead. This tall and handsome Hammond came from a wealthy family and was obedient to Ellie.But the hero Noah returned to his hometown silently, renovated the wooden house left by his father, and made it into the local news.
At this time, Ellie was engaged. She originally thought that she would let go of her first love, but when she saw Noah in the news and that house, she couldn't help her heart throbbing and drove to the door.
After reuniting after a long absence, the misunderstanding was resolved, but the fiancé came to the door again.
What choice will Ellie make?
At the end of the movie, the answer is revealed in a naughty way, which is touching and funny at the same time.
The old man who told the story deliberately said that in the end, Ellie was not with Noah, but with Hammond.
The old lady was so anxious that she shed tears, but she slowly recovered her memory, and remembered that the protagonist of the old man's story was herself?
It turned out that Ellie and Noah were happily together, but she suffered from dementia and forgot many things.
But Noah persisted, telling the story of the two of them when they were young over and over again, just to let his wife occasionally regain her memory in a short time.
Especially at the end of the film, when the two old men lay side by side and hand in hand to go to Huangquan together, the audience's eyes couldn't help but get a little wet.
This really made them happy and moved!
