[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 406 Imaginary Enemy

"Dreamworks is working hard. How much box office is enough for a movie with a comprehensive top combination?"

"At least [-] million in North America."

"It's a pity, this is a movie that is biased towards drama, and the cost should not be very high."

"Eve's rise is too fast."

"I really want to see the emotional scene between Leo and Eve, it must be very exciting."

"The four box office guarantees are put together, all of them are big stars in acting, and the film will definitely explode!"

The layman watched the excitement, and the rest of the studios in Hollywood regarded it as a scourge.The super luxurious lineup is a bomb in any schedule, and everyone wants to avoid it.

No one is so stubborn that he has to go head-to-head, he will only be smashed to pieces.

In fact, everyone knows that the box office of this kind of movie may not be as high as Harry Potter, but it is definitely a monopoly in terms of topicality.Regardless of the quality of the finished film, the attention will throw the rest of the film out of the Pacific Ocean.

The cost of the film has always been a mystery, especially this kind of film that gathers big names.Everyone wondered whether all the investment in the film was spent on the remuneration of the actors and directors. The four of them are members of the 2000 million club. Shooting art films can reduce the pay, which is obviously impossible for commercial films.

Considering that "How to Get Away with Murder" is a film invested by DreamWorks, Spielberg may not get paid, but directly get dividends as a producer and director.

Both Xiao Lizi and Lao Tang gave the real deal 2000 million US dollars, after all, it is the setting of two protagonists.And Eve is only a special supporting role, the filming time may be less than a week, and the film pay is 500 million US dollars for friendship.

Eve has a good relationship with DreamWorks. The "Shrek" she collaborated with directly signed three films, and she has already made a lot of money from this.After having a relationship with Spielberg this time, the brokerage company CAA hopes to become the protagonist of a movie by the great director in the future.

Spielberg's films usually find well-known actors to cooperate with, and do not favor newcomers.Looking at so many of his films, there are actually not too many impressive female characters, and most of them are played by male actors.Whether Eve's performance can impress him is still a question.

The outside world is overwhelmed by the works thrown out by the brokerage company, and the related discussions are hot. Even the news of various TV stations are reporting the unnatural cooperation of the No. 1 director, No. 1 actor, and No. 1 actress.

The behind-the-scenes content of "How to Get Away with Murder" was revealed, and the real prototype of the movie, Little Frank, came to life again. Interviews and TV show invitations continued, and the book that was adapted was directly listed on the New York Times bestseller list!

Behind the bustle and bustle, Eve quietly faded out of the media's attention.

She and her small team arrived at Montreal Airport in a very low-key way. For the sake of keeping a low profile, the staff of the film crew specially held a sign with the name "Brenda Strong" when they picked them up.

This name looks ordinary, and the rest of the people who picked up the plane at the arrival point didn't realize that it was actually the name of Eve's character in the movie "How to Get Away with Law".

Since the release of the CAA public relations statement, there have been a lot of reporters outside the film crew who are currently filming in Montreal. Everyone is scrambling to start filming, which affects the progress of the filming to a certain extent, because Spielberg does not want some Reuters photos to be shot. .

DreamWorks loves and hates this, so it can only let Eve keep a low profile, and it will attract more paparazzi and movie fans.

Ryan, the staff responsible for picking up the airport, led Eve and his party to a caravan in the garage, and then took the initiative to introduce: "Is this the first time for Miss Campbell to come to Canada? If you have time, you can take a look around. Montreal's Autumn is very beautiful, and it will snow soon."

"I came here once when I was filming. It's really a good place. It's not too hot in summer." Eve looked out of the car window curiously. At that time, I was relatively poor, and my time was very tight, so I went back to Los Angeles without much fun.

This time is different!

She doesn't have many roles in the crew of "How to Get Away with Law", and it is expected to only have one week of filming.After the filming, Keanu will come from Los Angeles to join her, and the two will have a tour in Canada to see where Keanu lived when he was a child.

There is almost no difference between Canada and the United States. Even many Americans can't tell which Hollywood stars who have settled in Los Angeles are the people next door.

Just like James Cameron, the director of "Titanic", many people subconsciously think that he is an American, but he is actually a serious Canadian.Even Jim Carrey belongs to this country.

The first half of Keanu's life was very rough and bizarre. He stayed in Lebanon, the United States and Canada. After he started filming, he brought his mother and younger sister to the United States.

Given this opportunity, he planned to take his fiancée for a stroll around the place where he grew up, and take his last vacation before the awards season.

The treatment given to Eve by the crew was completely in line with the two protagonists. Not only did she have this RV, she also had her own make-up artist, security personnel, and crew assistants.

"Now let's go to the Hilton Hotel to take a rest, and we will officially report to the crew tomorrow, what do you think?" Ryan asked in a communicative tone, and he hoped that he would not be too exhausted this week.

There are not many good-tempered stars in Hollywood, and many of them have one thing in front of the other. It is difficult for this kind of crew to communicate with the star team, and they always get angry at both sides.

Eve looked at his watch, and it was only one o'clock in the afternoon, so he replied, "It's still early, if possible, let's go to the shooting scene."

She already knew that there were two top actors filming over there, so how could she not go and watch it?

Especially Tom Hanks, he is basically the group of people with the strongest acting skills.Eve really wants to learn from this kind of good acting person and see how to break through her bottleneck.

She played Brenda and Tom Hanks played FBI agent Carl, but most of the time she played against Leonardo's little Frank and his family.

If you want to improve your acting skills, you can't work behind closed doors. You need to cooperate with good directors and good actors to promote each other.

Just like her playing with Bill Murray in "Lost in Translation" is very tense, even if the other party is not an actor known for his acting skills, it can still bring improvement.If she could have a head-to-head confrontation with Tom Hanks, Eve felt that she could not be paid at all!

Seeing that Eve didn't seem to be joking, Ryan replied solemnly: "May I call the on-site producer to explain the situation? If the studio is okay, I can go there."

The world doesn't revolve around a certain person, even if Eve is a superstar.The crew's daily schedule has been arranged in advance. She will definitely affect the filming in the past, and the crew must be informed before they can make arrangements.

……

"Steven, I just got the news that Eve is planning to come to the set directly, do you think it's convenient?" On-site producer Walter Parks came to the monitor, taking advantage of the gap between the shooting of the scene just now and talking to the director communicate.

Unlike other directors who need to be restrained, Steven Spielberg is a real bigwig in Hollywood. The film's investment comes from DreamWorks, and he is one of the three founders of DreamWorks.Even he is not only a director, but also a producer with a unique vision, "Transformers" series, "Shrek" series, "Men in Black" series, "Jurassic Park" and "Jurassic World" and "Jurassic World" "Above the Dome" and other American dramas have him behind the scenes.

Spielberg, as the boss of the entire crew, would not have cared about such a trivial matter, but when another heavyweight actress was involved, of course he would not show off, but replied: "Of course, if there is spare time , we can arrange for Eve to have a fitting and make-up fix, and Leo can take a set of promotional photos or posters with her later."

As expected of being a Jew, the arrangement of people works in an orderly manner.

Eve originally planned to come to the crew to get acquainted with the situation. Who would have thought that she would be assigned a bunch of jobs.

Walter agreed, "Okay, I will receive her well and settle the matter."

The two male protagonists both solved various costume styles before the filming started, and Eve didn't even participate in the audition, and was directly invited by Spielberg to participate in the film, which was like airborne, and the styling was not done in all aspects.

Fortunately, Eve arrived early, otherwise it would be too late to confirm the makeup or styling when the shooting starts tomorrow, which would greatly affect the progress of the shooting.

Tom Hanks, who was wearing a suit and a hat, was also checking the playback on the monitor at this time. He smiled and said to Spielberg: "Steven, you actually invited Eve to make a movie. Which one will she play? Role?"

"Playing Leo's fiancée," Spielberg replied casually.

Leonardo, who was drinking with a bottle of mineral water, said in surprise: "It turns out that this role belongs to her. I was still wondering who I would partner with, but I never saw anyone."

Even though the outside media had already turned the world upside down, the two leading actors didn't get any news at all, and devoted themselves to the movie.Spielberg didn't deliberately keep it secret, even if it was exposed.

"I met her at the Oscars dinner last year and I asked her to play the part. I never thought she would become what she is now."

There is some pride in Spielberg's words, as if he is saying that he has a unique vision.

But last year's Eve was already very outstanding, she could be regarded as a first-line actress, but she didn't become a sister like she is now.

"I've heard that she has very good acting skills, and she has a lot of momentum this year. I hope I won't be suppressed by her when I'm filming." Leonardo regarded Eve as a rival among his peers.

When he was still struggling to seek transformation, the other party already had a little golden man.He has ambitions in acting, and he doesn't want to be an idol male vase. At this time, he really wants to learn from his peers and see how far he can go in acting.

Anyway, when he was filming with a senior like Tom Hanks, Leonardo felt that he had already seen the direction of the future and what it was like to be in a state of perfect acting.

"If you are suppressed by Eve, it will be a bit interesting." Spielberg warned: "Leo, you have to spend more time preparing, and you can't be robbed by supporting actors."

"I see!"

Leonardo dare not underestimate his opponent at all.

They didn't say Eve's full name, but they all knew who it was, because there was only one Eve in Hollywood who could be in the current situation, truly unique!

When you mention Julie or Julia, you will think of others, Emma also has a lot, and Eve basically refers to it, just like Leonardo.When this name is mentioned, no other actor comes to mind.
