[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 379

Actors and directors have their own burdens because of their different positions.

Although Eve doesn't have to think about how to perform, she has more things to worry about.

The first day of shooting was stumbling, both the actors and the behind-the-scenes staff were working hard to adapt, and the shooting speed was not very fast.

This is a normal phenomenon, and it is impossible for everyone to be efficient immediately when they get together.

Because Miley can only shoot five hours a day, and the rest of the time must be used for study and rest, so the crew made fine-tuning on the progress to avoid wasting time.

At night, when all the shooting equipment and props were packed and sealed off, the staff happily left work.

There are not many entertainment and leisure activities in the small city. Many people make appointments to go to bars, and some want to hold parties in private, but Eve is exhausted physically and mentally, so tired that she just wants to lie in the bathtub.

"I sort of understand why most directors have a bad temper and are called studio tyrants."

Keanu looked at his girlfriend nestled on the sofa, and asked casually, "Why? I don't think you have a big temper."

Eve seldom drinks alcohol at ordinary times. Today she poured a small glass of red wine for the first time. She shook the glass and said helplessly: "It's really that the ideal situation is too far from the reality. The picture envisioned in the director's mind is like this, but the filming What comes out is like that, there are always inexplicable mistakes and dissatisfaction.”

Either there is a problem with the photography, or the lighting is lagging behind, or there are problems with the props group, makeup, hair and costumes, and there are also problems with the budget and shooting schedule.

It is an independent film invested by myself. Every time it is shot, it will consume film, and if it is used too much, it will exceed the budget.

Even if I have a high salary, I have invested in a lot of stocks of technology companies, but a plan is a plan, and you can't throw money into it like a bottomless pit.

Keanu looked at his girlfriend's expression, and comforted him: "This kind of emotion is very normal. You are not only a director, but also a producer. You are under a lot of pressure."

This kind of small independent film is not comparable to a blockbuster film with an investment of over [-] million yuan, but there are dozens of cast members on the set, some of them are unprofessional, some have a perfunctory attitude, there are mistakes in the details, and the director's creative intentions are communicated. Realized in time, these can turn a suave director into a studio thug.

Eve rubbed her head, and there will be more things to worry about next. Being a director not only requires making a good movie, but also handling various relationships and chores of the crew.

Mark Johnson was helping out as much as possible, hiring a production director and two experienced assistant directors, or something more.

Now she just hopes to finish the filming smoothly, and then give herself a long vacation to rest and rest.

As a director, it is enough to realize the dream, there is no need to be too frequent, like Spielberg, making two or three movies a year is simply a god.

……

Everything is difficult at the beginning. After the break-in period of the previous few days, the crew of "Little Miss Sunshine" entered the high-speed shooting stage.

As a modern movie, the setting is close to reality, and there is no need to restore history or make special arrangements.

There is a spark when good actors are put together. It just so happens that the ensemble actors selected by Eve are all good actors, even the youngest Miley is also motivated by the actors.

Their relationship outside the play is getting better and better, and they have a tacit understanding when performing in the play, and they seem to have more family cohesion.

Keanu was wearing a loose striped shirt with the hem of the shirt tucked into his trousers, a bunch of car keys hanging around his waist, and his hairstyle changed into a back hairstyle that he had never tried before.

This look is completely different from the usual heartthrob, just like an ordinary middle-aged man, and the makeup artist even drew some wrinkles on him.

A mentor who teaches success is a loser in life and in his family.

On the surface, their family is full of contradictions and each has its own problems, but they are very unified when it comes to their youngest daughter, Olive.Knowing that Xiao Olive is not material for a beauty queen, he wants to help her realize her dream, but he doesn't want her to get hurt.

So this road movie is not only a journey to realize dreams, but also a process for a family to break through their inner problems and reunite together.

Unknowingly, the shooting of the film was transferred from indoors to outdoors on the road, which also allowed the crew to keep a secret for almost two weeks and was discovered by reporters!

Originally, everyone simply thought that Eve was directing the new film, and Keanu was just here to accompany his girlfriend.

Even if there were reporters squatting in the small town, they didn't notice this.

Jonathan is a paparazzi who drove here from Los Angeles. Eve is very popular in Hollywood. It happens that she is making a movie, and she can sell it to gossip newspapers and websites if she makes any news.

Recently, the Internet media and the print media are fighting openly and secretly, just to grab readers. The prices of various news pictures, especially exclusive news, are very high, which makes Jonathan extremely jealous.

No matter how long you squat, as long as you can catch the news of the explosion, you will make a lot of money!

It can be said that it does not open for half a year, and it takes half a year to open.

After coming to this small city, Jonathan found that there were many people who had the same idea as himself. There were reporters from New York, Los Angeles and even overseas outside the set of "Little Miss Sunshine", and the idea of ​​exclusive news fell through.

It’s fine if there are too many monks and too little porridge, the key is no porridge.

Eve's management of the crew's confidentiality is very strict. In addition, the pre-shooting was all studio scenes, and the reporters couldn't do it if they wanted to take some set photos.

After waiting for so long, the crew finally came out of the hole and came to the auxiliary road of Route 66 to shoot. The paparazzi came to the side of the road with their sophisticated equipment, and started to take pictures in the open.

The expressway will definitely not let the crew be closed, even if it is just an auxiliary road.

With a curling cigarette in his mouth, Jonathan took a camera in his hand and started snapping pictures of the yellow minibus over there.

Suddenly, his pupils continued to dilate, and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground without any response. Instead, he gently twisted the focus circle of the camera with his right hand to continuously enlarge and focus the blurred portrait on the minibus.

"Keanu?"

The sound of dollars shaking began to come out of Jonathan's mind. He didn't say anything, but clicked and clicked to take the photo, and then quickly picked up the device and put it back in the car.

Gray, who had just arrived with coffee, was a little puzzled and asked, "This is just the beginning, where are you going?"

"I had a bad stomach from eating this morning, so I went back to the service area to go to the toilet." Jonathan's acting skills were wide open, he slammed the door of the car while clutching his stomach, and then he stepped on the accelerator and rushed back like lightning.

Race against time, even if you are ticketed, you have to hurry. If you are seen by colleagues behind, then you are not exclusive.

While driving, he called the contact editor of the familiar online media "TMZ".

"I have a very important piece of information in my hand. Keanu starred in the movie "Little Miss Sunshine" directed by Eve. Now I have photos of the shooting scene in my hand. You should prepare the script immediately and transfer the money to my account , send the photos immediately!"

"Keanu and Eve? Do you have photos, are you sure they are clear? If they are clear, I will transfer the money immediately. You have to trust the reputation of our TMZ."

Jonathan's face was ferocious, almost roaring: "It's very clear, it's being filmed with makeup on."

"Immediately fax the photo to the editorial department, and I'll go find the accountant and transfer the money to you!"

"$8, nothing less."

For TMZ, which is determined to be the No. 1 online gossip media, it is a good deal to buy the first-hand news of Eve and Keanu for $[-]. It can immediately detonate the Internet and push it to the entire Internet through various channels. .

"No problem, this is not the first time we have cooperated, you have to trust us, you must have already recorded it through the phone."

These days, bank transfers are very slow, and the second is unrealistic, and most of the transactions are by check.

However, the distance between the two is so far that it is too late for a cash check, and they can only rely on their credibility. If they have to swallow the $8, there is probably no paparazzi in Los Angeles who will provide news for TMZ.

Jonathan stopped the car like drifting, and then rushed to the coffee shop.

Because communication is not very developed now, the cafes in the service area usually have telephone, fax, and Internet services, which is convenient for drivers and passengers to communicate with the outside world.

After a period of frantic operation, Jonathan finally stopped, slumped on the chair and gasped for breath.

After TMZ received the photo of the paparazzi, it immediately posted the newly written manuscript with the picture on the homepage of its official website, and also bought an advertising service, and sent it by email to all emails that subscribed to the website information user.

With this set of combos, the number of news views began to rise in a straight line. The combination of Eve and Gaginu is undoubtedly the king of bombs. Throwing it into the current online world immediately caused an uproar.

With TMZ leading the way, the rest of the media reposted their news and pictures one after another, which also caught netizens in various forums by surprise.

"What? This is Keanu, he looks like a mature uncle."

"Suddenly want to see this movie!"

"I didn't reveal any rumors before, what a surprise. It would be even more perfect if it was said that Eve played the role by herself later!"

"I was still talking about why Keanu didn't support Eve's directing career, but I didn't expect to come here directly."

"I'm looking forward to their cooperation, and I hope there will be sparks."

"I declare that this is my must-see movie this year or next year, not one of them!"

"really?"

"This combination is really good. I want to see how Eve will take Keanu."

"It would be great if Eve directed and acted on her own."

Netizens and the media were not very interested in Eve's directorial works. Everyone wanted to see her on the screen, not behind the scenes.

As a result, as soon as this news came out, the expectations of "Little Miss Sunshine" immediately rose to the same level as those blockbuster movies, which shows how powerful the combination of these two people is!
