[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 392 Conquering the Audience

"Miss Campbell, your performance in the movie is very wonderful!" Richard was full of praise for Eve's performance. This performance let him see Eve's ambition in the movie, not only satisfied with the status quo, but also constantly Extend yourself.

Eve was very pleased with the praise of the middle-aged director. Her original efforts were not in vain. Now it seems that everyone is satisfied with Charlotte, a restrained and reserved character.

Many people are superficial when it comes to acting skills, and there are so-called post-actor moments, such as crying, laughing, roaring and doubting, and other external emotions. This is indeed more likely to infect the audience and is more eye-catching.

However, the moist and silent performance is more smooth, real, and touching. The rhythm is completely in your own hands, and any line or action of the character will not be abrupt, and the soul is truly injected.

Originally, Richard didn't think that Eve could play a civilian role well. In her more famous movies, she almost always played that kind of big beauty, such as the flesh-and-blood girl in "Almost Famous", who fascinated thousands of fans, In "Legal Blonde", a pink Harvard alien, in "The Notebook", a socialite of the last century.

These roles are all played by Eve very well, but Richard seems to be a little bit elite, and he doesn't seem to be much close to ordinary people's lives.In other words, in layman's terms, it is ungrounded and too serious.

But his next movie is to perform in a completely life-like way, so I decided in my heart that Eve is not suitable for that role, and Eve has always played young women, whether he can play the role of mother well or not have no idea.

Charlotte in "Lost in Translation" is a married young woman. This interpretation of family and marriage makes Eve a little different from previous performances.

"Thank you for the compliment. This movie is far beyond my imagination." Eve was not too humble in the face of the compliment, which is the honor the movie deserves.

Richard knew that the main creator of the film should be very busy now, so he made a long story short: "I have an interesting script in my hand, and you can ask your agent to contact me later."

He didn't say that Eve was the only choice, but just contacted and had a look, and everyone chose each other.

"My manager Robert is over there. I'll find him now." Eve's eyes lit up when she heard the new script, and she repeatedly waved at Robert who was hiding on the edge.

Richard has seen a direct celebrity, but he has never seen someone like her who is eager to talk about the project right away. It seems that he really likes his new project.

Over there, when Robert saw Eve chatting with the leading American Mesozoic directors, he had a little expectation, and walked over immediately after seeing the gesture.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Linklater." The anxiety in Robert's heart did not show on his face, but he said a lot of nonsense, "Your movie is very unique in the whole Venice, animation and real people are very similar. Interesting, every shot is worth savoring carefully."

As an agent, Robert can be said to be a model of talking to people and talking nonsense when he sees people. He obviously came to Venice with Eve, and he has never seen Richard's movie at all. He just glanced at the show magazines and movie reviews. That's all, it's time to start boasting.

Richard's attitude towards his agent was naturally not as friendly as Eve's, and he said straightforwardly: "I have a movie I want to cooperate with Ms. Campbell, can I have my assistant send the script to you later?"

"Of course there is no problem. Can I ask what kind of script it is?" Robert obviously would not refuse, but he must play a black-faced and difficult role, and he must not embarrass his client.

Obviously, it is inconvenient for Eve to ask about these things, including script type, investment scale, shooting schedule, etc. These are the job of the agent.

Because of this, Richard didn't like dealing with brokers, because they were very difficult to fool.

"I plan to shoot a movie about the growth of teenagers. The tentative name is 12 years. It tells about various topics of an ordinary American boy, including his school, work, and love."

"Sounds good, so what does Eve play in the movie?"

"I would like to invite her to play the role of the actor's mother Olivia, and Ethan Hawke will play the role of the actor's father. Eve and Ethan will play the divorced couple in it, and both sides will accompany the child to grow up together."

Robert's heart skipped a beat. Now that Eve is in full bloom, she doesn't feel out of place when she plays the legal blonde sweetheart of Harvard University, but she is about to play the role of a boy's mother.

Here, Sophia is just a newly married young woman who asked Eve to play "Lost in Translation", and Richard directly made Eve the mother of the child, and the span is getting bigger and bigger.

Of course, actors must try different roles, and letting Eve play the mother can also broaden the play, but Robert feels that it is a bit uncomfortable to let Eve and Ethan Hawke play supporting roles for amateur boys.

"Almost Famous" is like this. Does Eve still have to play a supporting role after winning the Oscar?

Before Robert could react, Richard went on to say: "The name of the movie is 12 Years. We don't plan to change actors, nor use special effects and makeup techniques, but shoot in the most realistic state. It doesn't take long. It may only take three or five days to shoot every year, so there should be more time.”

Usually, a film with a long time span will be handled in two different ways, either the young and middle-aged will change actors, or the makeup technology will be used to the limit.

It's easy for a young actor to act old, but it's almost impossible for an older actor to act young.

Richard's words made Robert feel like he was struck by lightning. It took 12 years to make a movie. Is this a documentary or a movie?What are these directors thinking about to come up with such weird ideas.

12 years is not a small number, there may be various accidents in the middle, the most ideal situation will allow the film to be released, and any problem with the main creator may cause damage to the film.

If it takes more than half of the time to shoot, and the filming is not done at the last minute, all the hard work will be wasted.

Of course, Robert is also very clear that if the film is successfully filmed, it will indeed be a film that can record the changes of actors.Risk is not equal to benefit.

"I've already told Ethan that if an accident happens during filming, he will take over my position as director or even as screenwriter." Richard is also aware of the timidity of these agents, "Ask Eve again Give me an answer."

Robert nodded with an unusually heavy heart. According to his understanding of his artists, the more difficult the shooting, the more interested he is.

……

The press conference site was very close to the screening hall, and it took Eve nearly 10 minutes to arrive even though he stopped and stopped all the way.

The room, which can accommodate hundreds of people, is so full that there is hardly any space left.

Eve looked down from the position on the stage, and there were densely packed media reporters and short guns below. Everyone stared at herself and others, wanting to dig out more content from it.

In places like film festivals, the director is always the most important, so Sophia sits in the middle, with Eve and Bill Murray on her left and right sides.

"Sophia, why did you think of setting the background of the story in Japan? Have you considered other cities, such as Paris or London?"

"Miss Campbell, can you tell me what Bob said in Charlotte's ear at the end of the movie?" The reporter with an American accent asked curiously.

Not only him, but everyone who watched the film at the premiere was curious about this question.Originally, Charlotte was walking lonely on the streets of Tokyo, feeling disheartened and even out of her wits.As a result, Bob found her in the crowd in a taxi, held her in his arms, and silently said a word that made Charlotte smile through tears, and was relieved visible to the naked eye.

But the director Sophia adopted a silent treatment here, which whetted everyone's appetite.

Obviously everyone is a film-related person, and they all think that Sofia's handling method is very advanced and full of meaning, which is endless aftertaste.Everyone understands the truth, but curiosity can't be restrained no matter what.

Eve, as the photographer, of course knows what she said, but she will not say it stupidly in a place with so many people, so she said into the microphone: "Here is the blank space specially prepared by the director, and it is left for everyone to imagine and think about it." "What do you think they said, that's what they said, the key lies in each audience's own thoughts."

In fact, during the filming, Bob, played by Bill Murray, said a line very affectionately, he had to leave, but this distance will not separate us...

This question will become an unanswered question, and it will also be the point that attracts audiences to the theater.Sometimes it is not good to be too blunt and too full, and leaving some leeway will create better artistic value.

In fact, when the reporters asked this question, they already knew that the crew would never answer, and everyone also had their own ideas in their hearts.If there are lip-speaking masters or technical talents to find out that sentence in the future, audiences who know the truth may be disappointed instead.

"Sophia, can you comment on Eve's performance in the movie?" A female reporter from Film Weekly seemed rather excited, "She gave a very good performance in the movie just now."

The Venice Film Festival has been open for a long time, and the films shortlisted for the main competition unit have been screened in turn, and the media and the audience also have their own preferences.When "Lost in Translation" appeared, everyone suddenly discovered that this movie has become a strong contender for awards.

Whether it is the Golden Lion Award for Best Film, or the two Silver Lion Awards for Best Actress and Best Actor, or even the Best Screenplay award, there is a chance!
