[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 403 Small Characters

Holding a fish tail in one hand and a fishing rod in the other, Eve took daily photos into a fashion blockbuster. Even the outdoor jacket she was wearing looked much more fashionable.

The camera is emotional. In this photo taken by Keanu, she is smiling like a flower, full of joy and excitement. Others can feel the happy state of the two from the photo.

In the end, Eve didn't taste any big meals, but enjoyed the sashimi with wasabi and soy sauce, because the fish caught is called bonito, which is one of the tuna.

The most delicious part is used as sashimi, and the rest of the fish is used by the chef as raw material for barbecue. After all, it weighs eight catties, which is not small.

Although there is no real shooting or post-production work, Eve has no real sense of leisure, and she begins to prepare for the next performance.

"Lost in Translation" will not hold its premiere in North America again. Small-budget films don't need such a move, just hold it in Venice.The distributor organized several media viewing sessions, and in the past two days, it has started to export word of mouth. Combined with the popular scene of the previous Venice Film Festival, it is enough to attract the audience.

The advantage of this is that it can reduce Eve's workload and avoid overexposure that confuses the two movies for the audience.

Don't overestimate the ability of ordinary people to accept information. If "Lost in Translation" and "Little Miss Sunshine" are two movies with very different styles, many people will believe it.

With trophies and word-of-mouth in hand, coupled with popular superstars, the probability of success at the box office is very high.The Coppola family also focused on Eve's wishes. If they are willing to run more publicity, they will run publicity, and if they are willing to rest, they will rest. The time for real public relations has not yet come, and now it can only be recharged.

With such a tacit understanding, Eve of course chose to keep a low profile, so as not to bore the audience and avoid seeing herself everywhere.

If good things are flooded, people may not like them that much.The principle of too much is not too much can work at any time.

In fact, she has already read the script of "Catch Me If I Can" and has a preliminary understanding of the role she plays. At the same time, she also bought the autobiography of Frank Abagno Jr., the prototype of the protagonist of the movie. Now she just happens to read the book. A good fraudster has a preliminary understanding.

To play a role well, one has to understand the relationship between her and the protagonist, why she met and fell in love, and finally why she betrayed the protagonist.It is obviously difficult to see the big picture by only looking at a part of myself. After Eve became a director, she has changed significantly. She began to pay attention to other characters, not just immersing herself in her own role, which is too limited.

The name of the autobiography is "Catch Me If You Can - The Surprising True Story of a Fraudster". The current sales of the novel can only be considered average, not particularly popular.Part of the popularity is due to the filming of a movie starring Leonardo, and curious readers went to buy it after seeing the news.

Reading the autobiography is obviously much more interesting than the script, and Eve is also comparing the differences between the autobiography and the movie script, and which places have been adapted for film and television.

Americans like the idea of ​​the prodigal son returning. The former master of fraud has become the anti-fraud expert of the FBI. This experience is indeed legendary.

Little Frank ran away from home after his parents divorced, and started a fraud career. Not only did he pretend to be a pilot to travel across the United States, he also forged checks to defraud, and he lived a colorful life.

But the FBI has already locked him in, and even met him head-on. If it wasn't for Little Frank's unruffled behavior, he might have been caught long ago.So when the leading actor, Frank Jr., used the fraudulent money to carnival in Miami, he was actually scared and flustered in his heart.

A friend at the party is injured and taken to the hospital, and that's where Frank meets Brenda, who Eve will play.

It's just that in the autobiography, he didn't write that he became a doctor because he fell in love with Brenda, but that he liked Brenda after pretending to be a doctor, and used Brenda's identity to cover his studies.

This is obviously more realistic, but the adaptation in the movie script is more romantic, making the plot more ups and downs, and adding more highlights.

"How to Get Away with Murder" has no action scenes, no stunts or special effects, but that doesn't prevent it from being a commercial film.As a commercial film, it is necessary to shape the male protagonist and shape him into a genius.

Therefore, in reality, little Frank spent a lot of time and energy pretending to be a doctor to study and pretend to be a lawyer to pass the professional exam, but in the movie it seems that he succeeded without much effort.

A two-hour movie is very short, and certainly not as detailed as a book. Some content must be discarded to simplify the overall structure.

While reading the autobiography and the script, Eve silently portrayed the image of Brenda in her heart. What kind of girl can make a fraudster who can't be chased by the FBI willing to stay and tell the only truth?

First of all, Brenda grew up in a wealthy environment. She is actually a charming young lady. Her parents are lawyers and prosecutors, and she has a lot of influence in the local area.

However, the young and ignorant Brenda was lured into having a relationship with her father's golf friends, resulting in pregnancy, which became a family stain and was kicked out.

Brenda, who has always been pampered, became a nurse in the hospital after leaving home. Due to her past experience and lack of social experience, she was obviously like an ignorant child who was bullied to death by her colleagues and superiors. of.

Therefore, when little Frank showed kindness and praise to her at the nurse's desk, it was reasonable for Brenda to like him.

Sometimes a ray of light from a stranger can illuminate the darkness in the heart, not to mention who can refuse a young, promising and handsome doctor!

It's normal for Brenda to fall in love with little Frank, so why does little Frank plan to marry Brenda while wandering in the flowers?

Eve came up with such a question in her mind. The most direct way is to ask the person concerned, but Eve does not have the contact information of little Frank in reality, so she can only rely on common sense to make guesses and judgments.

After all, I played Brenda by myself. The reality is just a reference, and what is more important is my interpretation method.

"First of all, Brenda must be a beautiful and innocent girl. She should be regarded as silly and sweet in a certain sense. She is attractive to little Frank and at the same time can arouse his desire to protect. Long-term running and fleeing will definitely be exhausting. Brenda, who is a con artist, has always been adored and wants to rest and quit and live a peaceful life."

"The misfortune of his parents' marriage made him yearn for a happy family life. His past is not glorious, so he can naturally accept Brenda's past. The two of them are truly in love."

Eve really thinks that the role of Brenda is a small challenge. She has played many different roles, and she has never played such a silly and sweet role even in a romantic movie.

It is a completely new experience to put away your hard-edged, independent and self-improving side, and gradually become that silly and cute little nurse who can arouse the love and pity of the hero and the audience.

Brenda found someone to rely on, and she has a little love brain, and she was cheated into pregnancy by others before, so when she knew that the male protagonist had concealed his identity and lied to her, it seemed that the world collapsed.

He didn't care about the money in the hero's box at all, but fell into his own world, just wanted to know what the other person's name was, why did he lie to himself!

In the end, the hero revealed his name and even his whereabouts, and wanted to go far away with Brenda and wander the world.

However, Brenda returned to the family with great difficulty, coupled with being deceived by the actor and supervised by the FBI, almost exposed the whereabouts of the actor.

But at the last moment, the FBI set up many checkpoints at the airport to capture the leading actor, Frank Jr., and Brenda also came as scheduled, but she didn't choose to call out loudly when she saw her boyfriend, but pretended she didn't see her, and wanted to let him know. He escaped without incident.

It is indeed true to say that there is no betrayal, but it is also considered to be true if there is no betrayal. Different people have different opinions. In fact, I still love him in my heart and do not want him to be arrested.

Generally speaking, the role of Brenda has a lot of content that can be excavated. It is not just a background board, nor does it just need to be beautiful.

Just like her last scene, she clearly saw her boyfriend, but she had to pretend not to know her, so she couldn't see through. This should be regarded as a relatively difficult scene to perform.

There are not many scenes, but there are many highlight moments. Eve is very satisfied with "How to Get Away with Law" overall, and now after reading the autobiography, she is going to write a little biography of the characters.Small roles cannot be relaxed, and must be treated with caution, so that they can become the shining point of the film.

She believes that Dreamworks will definitely use her and Leonardo's emotional drama to publicize when the time comes. The cooperation between the two first-line male stars and female stars will not cause a sensation and curiosity!

Just as Eve was about to start writing, the mobile phone placed aside suddenly rang.

"Miss Campbell, the car has arrived at the underground garage. We need to leave now. The traffic in the city center is congested. We will be late in a while." The bodyguard and driver Hawke's voice came from inside.

Eve looked at her watch and found that it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, so she quickly stood up and replied to the phone: "Okay, I'll go downstairs right away, just wait a moment."

After finishing speaking, he quickly hung up the phone, put the phone in the handbag on the side, and walked towards the stairs wearing flat shoes.

She made an appointment to meet with the dentist at three o'clock, on the one hand to check the mouth, and on the other hand to order special braces.Already had orthodontics as a teenager, and now for filming, Brenda is a little nurse with steel braces.

Braces need to be made in advance. Eve doesn't need them to be tight, just need to look like ordinary people wear them. It's a small prop.

For the rest of the props, the crew can prepare them.But the braces have to be done by yourself, otherwise it will be troublesome if they don't fit.

In order to play the role of a nurse well, she also applied to go to the hospital as a volunteer for three days, and get close contact with the daily work of a nurse, which can be regarded as an experience role.

Fortunately, Brenda is only a supporting role after all, and her injection work and other content will not be involved in the movie. It is just some superficial work, otherwise three days will not be enough.According to Eve's character, if she really wanted to play the leading role of a nurse, she might have to take a few months of complete courses and take a nurse qualification certificate by the way!
