Chapter 380 Top Superstar
"Pay attention to safety when pushing the cart later, I would rather take another shot, so that everyone can't get hurt, understand?"
Eve told these actors that the car rented by the family broke down in the setting of the script, and they had to use human power to push it up in the initial stage. The Hoover family worked together under such circumstances, and everyone thought about it together. Way to start the car.
Now the lighting is just right, the whole picture looks very bright, the color saturation is very high, the yellow minibus and the open wilderness make people feel relaxed and happy.
In order to shoot this picture of the whole family working together, Eve plans to use a small long shot to shoot. The actors and staff have already practiced scheduling, and now the actual shooting begins.
Richard, played by Keanu, sat in the driver's seat after hearing the sound of the board hitting the board. He looked nervously at the family members behind him, worried whether the car could start, and whether the family members could get in the car safely.
The side door of the yellow minibus is wide open, and the camera follows the established route from the front to the rear of the bus, where grandpa, brother Dwayne, uncle Frank, mother Cher and little Olive are all standing nervously and excitedly at the rear of the bus .
"Okay, are you all ready? Olive, Dad, I think you should get in the car first."
Miley, who was wearing glasses, was very excited at the moment. She was too small to know what these things meant, and she thought it was some fun thing.
She had already memorized the lines by heart, and said bouncingly: "I know, we know!"
Invisibly, it fits the requirements of the characters in the plot, and the innocent little Olive is in stark contrast to the group of troubled adults.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the family members all want to protect Olive and do not want her to be hurt by the outside world.
Eve was sitting on the director's chair in front of the monitor, holding the radio communicator in her hand, leaning forward, staring intently at the picture sent back by the camera.
As long as one part of this kind of long shot is wrong, the whole shot can only be invalidated.
Some flaws may not be discovered until post-editing, when it will be too late, or the long shot will be cut into several sections, or the original crew will be brought back for reshoots.
Either solution sucks, and it's better to get it right now than to try to fix it later.
If you want to make a film, you must make a high-quality film, otherwise Eve really can't make it out. She knows that no matter whether it is her fans or ordinary audiences, the media or film critics, she is looking forward to her film.
Some people are looking forward to seeing good works, while others are looking forward to finding some points that can be criticized, so as to attack her and want to curb her rising trend.
Steve Carell, who had a beard and looked a little melancholy, was a little out of breath, and almost shouted in a roar: "I just want you people here to know that I am the best in the entire United States." Proust Researcher!"
Many comedians are funny on stage or in the movies, but they are sad in private. It is really appropriate for Steve to play Uncle Frank.
His acting skills are very good, and now he is pushing the car forward with all his strength, his face is flushed all of a sudden.
Because of genetic problems, the skin of white people is very easy to turn red, and emotions such as shyness, anger, and excitement will quickly reflect on the skin of their necks and heads.
It is estimated that few people in the audience know what Proust is, but it does not prevent everyone from understanding what Uncle Frank means, which is nothing more than letting professors and scholars do things like push carts.
The sense of comedy in the picture is very strong. Eve stares at every actor in the camera, paying attention to various details.
Maybe it was the previous rehearsals that worked, or maybe it was because the actors have been together for a long time and have a tacit understanding like family members. So far, there have been no problems during the shooting, which made her feel a little more relaxed.
Richard, played by Keanu, shouted: "Okay, now let's push the cart together!"
Accompanied by his words, several actors exerted their strength one after another, exerting the strength like sucking milk.
The stroller here is really pushed, even Miley kicked her legs, gritted her teeth, and pushed the rear of the cart with a pair of small hands, her eyes were round and round, and the flesh on her little round face seemed to be exerting force.
Of course, the main force of the cart is the rest of the adults.
Eve's old acquaintance Patrick played the role of brother Dwayne. Compared with his previous acting skills in "Almost Famous", he seems to be much more mature.
Last year, "Almost Famous" swept the awards season and won Oscars and Golden Globes for Best Picture, making several supporting roles that are already popular, such as Eve, Keanu and Mrs. Coen, who can't finish playing. .
On the contrary, Patrick, a true leading actor, has an awkward position in Hollywood, almost no one is looking for him, and the agency can only arrange for him to study acting well.
It’s really because Patrick’s positioning and personal restrictions are relatively large, he is not too young, he is already 16 years old, but his appearance is definitely not handsome, it can only be said to be an ordinary American appearance, and his acting skills are among the young actors Not particularly prominent.
Campus movies will not look for him, and the works of major directors will not be considered. After a year, the popularity will almost be dragged away!
It just so happened that Eve extended an olive branch, even if "Little Miss Sunshine" is just an ensemble movie, even if Dwayne is only a supporting role, even if the investment of the film is only 2000 million US dollars, as long as there are movies to be made, how can I care so much? .
What's more, although Eve's film investment is small, the attention is not low at all, and the two superstars can definitely bring the film to the sky.
The role of Dwyane actually requires a lot of acting skills, because he didn't speak for more than half of the time in the movie. In this way, he showed his perseverance and determination to be admitted to the Aviation Academy.
For an actor, lines are a very important part of shaping a character.Without lines, you have to spend more time on your movements, demeanor, and especially your eyes.
Dewayne had a very explosive scene in the play. He insisted on not speaking for nine months to take the pilot test, exercising and studying hard every day, but he found out that he was color blind when he was on the minibus.
This is simply a huge joke given to him by the heavens. Colorblindness cannot be a pilot at all. His hard work and persistence for so long are all in vain!
So at this moment, Dwyane, who has been reluctant to speak, burst out of resentment and dissatisfaction with his family. His dream was completely shattered by the cruel reality. After venting hysterically, he accepted it calmly. This is probably growth.
In order to get closer to the characters, Patrick hardly speaks in the crew, to experience the characteristics of the characters in depth, and usually communicates with pens and letters.
Everyone is working hard for their roles, and they all want to make this movie better.
"CUT!"
Eve took the walkie-talkie and yelled, "Everyone, take a break first, and we'll make another one later to see if the effect will be better."
The performance just now was very coherent. After pushing the car, the Hoover family jumped on top of the moving minibus one after another. As the car started faster, the difficulty of getting on the car continued to increase.
Grandpa got into the car first, and he got into the car more easily, and then quickly picked up his beloved little granddaughter, and then his brother Dwayne and mother Cher climbed into the car one after another.When it was Uncle Frank's turn, he had to run fast to keep up with the rhythm, and he needed the help of his nephew to succeed.
This scene is extremely comical, and it will make people grin when they see it.
She is very demanding. Even if the performance just now was on the level, she has to see if it will be better next time.
Guaranteed one, the performance just now was at the bottom, and the next one is acceptable regardless of whether it is good or bad.
The actors were pushing the carts and running, and they were highly concentrated. They were all slumped on the chairs and gasping for breath.
Eve walked among these actors and praised: "The performance just now was very good, in fact, it is already usable, I just want to see if it will be better."
Steve Carell sipped mineral water, he was the longest and fastest runner just now, "I thought I didn't perform well and dragged them down."
"No, no, you did a great job. It can be seen that you are an actor with a lot of ideas. You can develop more in the film industry in the future. Talk shows are too limited for you."
While Eve was chatting with the actors, her assistant Mandy walked over with the latest Motorola cell phone.
"Miss Campbell, Mr. Stove is waiting for you on the phone. It seems that there is something important."
Although Mandy has made up his mind to go to Eternal Films, but the film company has not yet filmed a finished film, and there is nothing to do in the past, so he still works as an assistant next to Eve. It is estimated that this year's "Little Miss Sunshine" " will be resigned when it is released.
Eve made a gesture to Keanu and the others before standing up. She took the mobile phone to the open sand next to her and asked, "Good morning, Mr. Stov, is there anything important?"
It is impossible for the agent to follow the filming location all the time. After a few days with the crew, Evan Stoff has returned to Los Angeles to deal with specific affairs.The two had reached a consensus before, and they would not bother her if it was not a particularly important matter, so as not to confuse her thoughts.
"Just now, TMZ reported the news of Keanu's appearance in the movie, and now it has been spread all over the Internet. Countless media and reporters in my hands are asking."
Not only was Eve not surprised, but she was very frank, "Actually, I am very disappointed in the paparazzi's ability. They actually waited until now to find out that Keanu is going to act in my movie. Anyway, it will be announced sooner or later. Now I will take this opportunity to use the crew's Let’s release a news in name, let’s send out the cast.”
The crew has been keeping secrets, but the protection against the paparazzi is still not as thorough as some blockbuster films.
The news of Keanu's starring role is not a shameful scandal, even if it is known to the public, it is nothing. On the contrary, it can gain popularity and make it stand out from the niche independent films.
This attitude is the same as their relationship. When they are photographed, they readily admit that there is no such thing as a secret love.
Evan Stoff obviously knew Eve's character, "We have kept it a secret for so long, and we did our best to not steal the attention of "The Notebook", but now we can give it a life. After the news is exposed, Mark should You will receive inquiries from many large distribution companies, you have to ask him to prevent him from colluding with the distribution companies in private."
"I see, I'll call him later."
Evan Stoff just came to remind Eve that there is no need to report good news or bad news. By the way, he arranged another job for her: "Sophia has finished editing "Lost in Translation", and the soundtrack is over now. Coppola They thought the time was just right and they were going to send it to the Venice Film Festival."
"It's very good. The Venice Film Festival should have a lot of attention, and it should be the closest European film festival to Hollywood. It's a pity that I can't see the finished film now."
Eve sighed. She felt that she gave the best acting skills ever in the movie, but that was just her own feeling, and she didn't know how it looked to others.
At the same time, the performance quality of the actors is also linked to the quality of the final cost. If the movie is a bad movie, it is useless for the actors to perform well. They will not be pitied and affirmed by film critics, at most they will not be scolded so harshly.
As an actor, there is basically nothing to do during the post-production of the film, except to say that what is out of sight is pure in heart.Although Eve is one of the producers, it was agreed when signing the contract that she would never interfere with Sofia's decisions.
It was already mid-August, less than a month before the opening of the Venice Film Festival, and the films in the main competition had been announced one after another.
Even though Sophia herself is not well-known in Europe, the name of Sophia's family and the leading role of Eve Campbell are enough to make the film selection committee of the Venice Film Festival wait patiently until the last moment.
"Lost in Translation" received a lot of praise in her previous life, but with Eve's joining in this life, God knows what will happen.
Evan Stoff jokingly said: "We are ready to go to the Olympics again. This time we are aiming for the Best Actress Oscar, hoping to make a breakthrough. If the post-production of your film is faster, Maybe it will happen during awards season."
The estimated shooting time of "Little Miss Sunshine" is only four weeks, and the current progress is more than halfway, and the filming can be completed before the Venice Film Festival.
If "Lost in Translation" is successfully shortlisted for the main competition unit, then she can go to Italy for a vacation, and then come back and work hard.
Eve's schedule for the second half of this year is blank, there are no upcoming movies, and most of them are magazine photos or advertisements.
On the surface, it does look relaxed and freehand, but in fact, the post-production of the film will make people lose their hair.
Because it is a film invested by herself, the final editing rights that every director desires are left to Eve herself, which means that the burden on her shoulders is even heavier.
"Oscar queens don't even dare to think about it. After all, I won the best supporting actress last year. If I win the leading actress again this year, I will probably be blacklisted by the academy."
Originally, it was extremely difficult to win two Oscars, not to mention that this has a certain nature of continuous success.
Tom Hanks once won the Oscar winner with "Forrest Gump" and "Philadelphia Story", but after that, all the awards were swallowed up, and then no matter how wonderful the performance was, it would be ignored.Not to mention winning an award, even getting nominated is extremely difficult.
Her mentality is very peaceful. Of course it would be best to win an award. If not, she will not be anxious. After all, she is still very young compared to other actresses who are competing for the Olympics.
That is to say, the public relations still need public relations, and the publicity still needs to be publicized, otherwise the name of a performer will not appear on the list out of thin air.
After Eve hung up the phone, she looked up at the vehicles not far away. The paparazzi were actually squatting tens of meters away, and it was normal to be found.
It was not announced at the beginning in order not to steal the attention of "The Notebook". Compared with the unknown Christian Bale, everyone still wants to see Eve and Keanu fall in love in the movie.
But now the film has been released for more than two weeks. After sweeping the box office of 4100 million US dollars in the first weekend, it dropped slightly to 3600 million US dollars in the second weekend, and the trend is very healthy.
At the same time, the word-of-mouth of the film continued to ferment, and the audience thought it was an extremely romantic movie, which continued to attract couples into the film and became the first choice for couples, couples or little sisters to gather together.
There are no other popular romance movies this summer, so "The Notebook" has almost no competitors in this field, so it's definitely a good idea to watch this movie on a date!
After watching it, you can still get full of tears and emotions. Some couples even chose to propose and get engaged because of the plot of the movie.
Under such favorable conditions, Eve completed three consecutive explosions this summer!Not only did the three films in the summer season all have a box office of over [-] million in North America, but she also became the actor with the most astonishing ratio of investment to output, surpassing Shuang Tang and Xiao Li, and none of the films she participated in lost money.
Mark Johnson is enjoying the supreme treatment now, even hotter than when he won the Oscar for Best Picture with "Rain Man".
The North American box office of "The Notebook" just produced just broke through the [-] million US dollars mark, and "Little Miss Sunshine" co-produced by Eve here has invincible good news. Everyone knows that the box office of this movie will definitely not be bad !
Originally, some small and medium-sized film distribution companies wanted to catch the leaks, but as soon as the eye-catching combination of Eve + Keanu came out, even the eight major companies in Hollywood couldn't sit still.
Who doesn't want to make money, especially this kind of movie that can make a big difference with a small amount.
How could the appeal of Eve and Keanu not even recover the cost of 2000 million US dollars?
Mark Johnson's mobile phone and office landline have not stopped all day, and old friends and acquaintances who have dealt with him before have called to inquire, wanting to win this sweet pastry.
He can be said to be in pain and joy, and in a real sense, he has recognized Eve's appeal, which can completely compete with top male stars on the same stage.
Seeing this, Universal Pictures, another big Hollywood company, hastily approved the "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" project proposal handed over by Doug Liman, and started preparing for the film in a real sense.
The author has something to say: the long-lost chapter is here, thanks to the little angels for their nutrient solution, okay~~~
