[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 394

"The day after tomorrow is the closing ceremony. My flight back to Los Angeles should be cancelled, so I don't have to go back and forth."

Eve carefully planned her itinerary. She originally thought that coming to Venice was just a beautiful red carpet walk, but she didn't expect that there would be such a big change, and she could only stay for two more days.

Robert nodded, "I'll go to refund the ticket later, and now there is one more important thing is that you don't have a dress for the closing ceremony red carpet. We have never been prepared to attend the awards ceremony, and the most urgent thing is to find you a suitable dress. "

The plan always fails to keep up with the changes. Who would have thought that "Lost in Translation" would suddenly explode in word-of-mouth, and the organizing committee would even ask to keep it.

Since there is hope of winning the award, it must be treated with caution, no matter whether you can stand on the stage to hold the trophy, it must be grand enough.It is not at this time that the maverick is highlighted. The hope of the general public for female stars is to appear beautifully in front of the camera.

Borrowing dresses is really not a big problem for Eve. As long as CAA makes a statement, no matter which brand it is, it will present all the lists in its hands and let her choose one by one.

The small problem is that the clothing of these brands cannot be tailored within a day or two, even Armani, which has always had a cooperative relationship with her, cannot do it. At most, it can only be improved and modified.

Armani itself is an Italian brand. Moreover, Eve’s gown on the red carpet at the premiere today is even more popular around the world, attracting unanimous praise from the fashion circle and the general public. .

Robert believes that the brand side will never miss the opportunity to be exposed to the awards at the closing ceremony. Even if they send a strong support team, they must improve Eve's dress, because profit is the fastest drive.

Eve felt a headache at the thought of going back to Los Angeles a few days later. Her original schedule was disrupted and she had to re-plan. The post-production of "Little Miss Sunshine" has reached the most critical moment, but she has to delay it.

"Wait a minute..." A thought suddenly flashed into Eve's mind, since he wants to stay at the Venice Film Festival for a few more days, why not make full use of the resources of the film festival!

The film festival is not just about showing [-] excellent films to film critics and media from all over the world. In fact, the most important thing is the underground and unknown film copyright trading market.

Even among the three major film festivals, Venice has always been known for commending art films. The commercial element is not as strong as the Cannes Film Festival, and the ideology is not as strong as the Berlin Film Festival. It is more diversified in themes and visions.

Before there was Cannes, then there was Toronto, and Venice was caught in the middle. It still doesn’t have an official trading platform. The financing, sales and distribution of each film are completely self-published, without any publicity at all.

Eve knows that there are actually a lot of potential buyers here. There are dealers in Europe, Asia, and Latin America, but most of them are trading in private and unknown.

"I have a very crazy idea." Eve stood up from the sofa, "Instead of wasting time here, it's better to find a suitable public relations company to hold a film fair and ask Eternal Films to come quickly. I'm going to Promote overseas copyright sales of "Little Miss Sunshine" here!"

Agent Robert and assistant Doreen were both surprised by her idea, but after thinking about it seriously, they found it very reasonable.

Since Eve is the focus of attention in Venice, various media and film companies are very interested in her, and after Sofia's "Lost in Translation" has exploded, everyone thinks that she will become a strong contender for the queen.

With such enthusiasm and opportunity, if you don't fight for it, where can you find such a good opportunity?

It's just that the editing of "Little Miss Sunshine" has not been completed at all, and the film studio cannot see the whole film, only the trailer.In fact, it is just to attract jade, to see if these film producers and distributors are interested in this kind of American black humor.If you are interested, then continue to continue.

The distribution rights in North America were taken away by the newly established Focus Pictures, so many overseas markets have yet to be developed.

Robert nodded in agreement: "This idea is very good. We don't need a formal booth, but a reception. For the list, I'll go and see if there is a detailed list on CAA. I will definitely come if I send an invitation letter in your name. A group of people."

Although time is tight, there is still time to hold a reception. Who made this an emergency?

"Let's split up. I'll ask Eternal Pictures to send over the materials that can be disclosed in a small range. We can't let others see nothing." Eve left some materials as trailers and production specials when editing the film. , ready to put it outside every now and then.

Now there is a professional public relations company in charge of the corresponding matters, and their team only needs to prepare the list and the promotional materials of "Little Miss Sunshine".

Robert asked casually, "Do you want to invite Keanu?"

However, Eve shook her head, "He is promoting "The Matrix 2" in Japan, and he is probably very busy, so there is no need for the actors to come over."

Warner Bros. made two sequels in one go, and the pressure to pay back the cost is very high. Keanu, as the absolute leading actor, of course has to run around the world to promote it.

The first "The Matrix" is famous all over the world, but the box office is actually less than [-] million US dollars, which is far weaker than its influence.Now it is necessary to convert all the influence into the box office, how to attract audiences and movie fans into the theater.

Japan is now the second largest box office market in the world, and the style of cyberpunk is very friendly to Japanese audiences, so that is the highlight.

"The number of people we came here this time is still too small, everyone should get busy now."

Eve's team has always been small, and she usually has nothing to do. It was only when she suddenly had to organize a large reception that she realized that she was stretched and needed help from others.

Following her words, almost everyone started to do their own things and began to make arrangements, while she went to the bedroom to change into a daily outfit and prepared to meet the director at night.

……

Venice is a world-renowned tourist city, and high-end restaurants are essential.

Eve and her manager Robert were led by the waiter to the window seat, and they could see buildings and river ships when they turned their heads.

Director Richard and the appointed actor Ethan Hawke had already sat down in their seats. After seeing Eve, they got up and introduced and hugged each other.

Originally, Robert wasn't going to come over, but Eve was worried that she would scribble after being photographed by the gossip media, so she dragged her manager over to avoid suspicion.

Just like the scene just now, if the paparazzi caught her embracing Ethan Hawke, there might be rumors about their affair.

"Miss Campbell, this restaurant features traditional Italian dishes and some creative new dishes. You can order whatever you want." Richard didn't talk about the movie when he came up, but chatted with his friends.

Eve didn't know much about Italian food. She ordered a few dishes according to the chef's recommendation on the menu, and then took the initiative to bring the topic to "Boyhood": "It's a pleasure to sit and chat with the two of you, I like it very much Your movie, hopefully it will actually work together this time. A film that has been in the works for 12 years and I can't wait to find out more about it!"

Richard was a little surprised, because Eve's current state actually appeared more on some old actors, as if he was a drama idiot, and all he considered were film matters.

"In fact, my inspiration for making this film came from my daughter. I wanted to record her daughter's growth process. After Ethan found out about it, he proposed, why not turn this documentary into a movie?"

Ethan Hawke next to him smiled and nodded, "That's right. I think it's too wasteful to make a documentary with such a good subject, and it's completely possible to make an excellent movie."

"It's a unique idea. I really want to participate in the production of this movie." Eve praised, "Has the script been completed? After such a long filming, the script should not be fixed."

"In fact, we only have a script outline, and we simply planned how to shoot later. I want every actor to participate in the specific shooting content every year, and let everyone discuss how the characters in the movie live and grow. For example, I am now Finalize your role as a mother, a self-reliant and independent woman who, after divorcing her husband, takes care of the children and even keeps learning."

Ethan said with a self-mockery: "In Richard's plan, the role I play is just a supporting role in the supporting role, and the mother role you play can even be regarded as the heroine."

"It sounds good. With such a mother teaching, the children will definitely be affected." Eve became more and more interested in movies, because she can participate in the shaping of characters, not just being an actor.

"So what characteristics do you think a mother who raised two children alone should have, or how should she live a wonderful life?"

It's not just the actors who have to choose the director and the script, the director is also testing Eve to see if she can collide with the spark of inspiration and become a member of the film creation.

Eve took a sip of the lemonade and thought seriously: "Single mothers must want to provide a better life for their children. They must not let the children suffer materially, and at the same time, they must not make mistakes spiritually. I think she should be a Optimistic people, even if life is rough, will not complain, but work hard to maintain children's life, study and thinking."

"At the same time, she should also be a self-loving person, with a clear plan for her own future. From an embarrassed single mother, she has become capable with ease, and after accepting the tempering of life, she has become mentally strong. She is invincible in front of children, but The inner world is still fragile and soft, and there will be moments of collapse..."

Several people chattered about the characters and the movie script. Robert was left out in the cold, but he didn't care at all. He was very happy with Eve's performance.
