Chapter 91 Break Through Self
Recently, Los Angeles is sunny every day. Keanu got up and ran in the gym for half an hour. After practicing for a while, he came to the backyard with a cup of milkshake-shaped food to enjoy the sunshine.
Assistant Sam has already collected the newspapers here so that it is convenient for him to eat
Now the "Matrix" sequel cannot be filmed, the bodies of the protagonists must be adjusted, so Keanu is quite busy, not only practicing guitar, but also recording the new album of the Sirius band, and from time to time by Chen Hu, a martial arts instructor and friend Pull together to practice martial arts routines.
The villain of the movie, Hugo Weaving, who plays Agent Smith, is filming "Lord of the Rings" in New Zealand, where he plays Elrond Lord Elrond.
This Mr. Hugo Weaving can be called a golden supporting role, perhaps because of his evil temperament, he has performed wonderfully in many movies.Maybe he didn't even think of it, he has already acted in the two top IPs of "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Matrix", and he will dub Megatron in "Masquerade" and play the role of Captain America's enemy Red in the Marvel Universe. Skeleton became a strongman spanning four super big IPs.
After receiving the early funds from Warner Pictures, the staff of the crew have gone to Australia to conduct scene surveys, and began to look for suitable places to build the highway for filming.
To build roads, you have to wait for government approval. These have to be done before shooting, so it really didn't waste much time.
The taste of the nutritional milkshake was very strange, Keanu took a sip and put it aside, he picked up the newspapers on the coffee table to check.In the past, he never cared about these things, and never read the entertainment gossip board, but now he wants to know how the media reported and commented on this movie.
[Soul Shifter Premiere, Winona makes a sweet appearance with Matt Damon]
[Keanu Reeves surprises at the premiere of Columbia Pictures' new film]
【Gwyneth goodbye Winona, the former best friend is no longer in love】
["The Girl Who Moved Soul" premiered, there are many stars on the red carpet]
[Nominations for the Saturn Awards announced, The Matrix is the biggest winner! 】
Keanu read several different newspapers, in which he appeared many times, but Eve only had one photo in the red carpet photo collection, and even the Saturn Awards related reports only mentioned a name, There are no photos, so I don't know if there will be more reports on the Internet.
He was a little disappointed, he probably disguised himself too well last night, and none of the reporters discovered the relationship.
Anyway, there is nothing to do now, Keanu simply continued to turn to the film review section, and Eve's name was mentioned many times in this section, because the role she played in the movie cannot be ignored at all.
Peter O'Sullivan from the San Francisco Chronicle gave a 3-star review, "This movie is entertaining, but not very powerful, and the performances of the actors are impressive. Winona should have been the perfect spark, but the light was lost. Angelina and Eve cover up."
The film critic Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly gave a high score of 91 points, "Smart, tough, and lively, this group of girls really exists, and their dedicated performances can arouse more thinking. One of the best movies this year one."
Jay Carr, a reporter from the Boston Globe, said with emotion: "It's hard to imagine any actress who can bring more sensibility and wisdom to the audience like Reid. Julie's explosive performance surpassed everyone's." Expectations, and Eve Campbell's amazing acting talent emerging from the horror-thriller, make this a veritable must-see this winter!"
However, some other film critics were more vicious. Ron Wells from "Screen" magazine gave the film a low score of 30 points, "28-year-old Rhett looks like a teenage diary Graffiti in the film, caught in self-deprecating. Completely boring movie, in the end Suzanne surrenders to the world."
"Except for the horrifying, introspective climax scene of Daisy's suicide, they manage to avoid all the good things about growing up movies, which seems cliché." David Anson, for the sake of the film's highlights, gave rated 45 points.
"The story is pretty mediocre, but the whole cast has great performances. I even think Angelina Jolie is a strong contender for this year's Oscars. Reed's performance is not even as good as a newcomer in a horror film. Maybe she is calm. For a moment, reconsider your next film.” Hollis-Griffin’s film review was full of sarcasm, and the reporter from the New York Times didn’t forget to step on it, and didn’t even know Eve’s name.
While Keanu was reading the newspaper and drinking a nutritional milkshake, manager Evan Stoff led Sam to the garden.
"Well, when did you start caring about entertainment gossip?" Evan Stoff sat down straight and asked curiously.
Keanu raised his head and thought about it seriously, "Maybe after falling in love."
"You have changed a lot in this relationship, is that girl so attractive?"
"It's not necessarily because of her that I changed, maybe I thought so myself." Keanu didn't want to discuss this matter too much, "I came here because I want you to help me arrange a good short-term acting teacher. I want to hurry up and make a surprise attack before the filming of "Almost Famous."
Evan Stoff was a little lazy at first, but after hearing this, he sat up straight in horror: "What happened to you?"
This wasn't the Keanu he knew at all!
In the 80s, Keanu had just entered Hollywood and worked as an agent. After so many years, Evan really didn't realize that Keanu had changed so much in a short period of time. Could it be that the rebellious youth period was delayed to 30 years old?
For so many years, I didn't even find an acting teacher when I first debuted. Now that I have basically achieved success, I started to worry about acting!
Speaking of it, whether it is the public or film critics, even Evan and Keanu themselves did not have any particularly high expectations for his acting skills.
Among the honors Keanu has received in his acting career for so many years, there are almost no awards for his acting skills. Most of them are popularity awards such as MTV Movie Awards, Kids' Choice Awards, Teen Choice Awards, People's Choice Awards, and Saturn Awards.
He has never been affirmed by Oscars, Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild Awards, or the Film Critics Association. When everyone mentions him, they basically think he is a standard idol action actor.
The facial expression is a bit stiff and not very expressive, and the most suitable character is either a killer or a savior.Even playing these two roles is played in his true colors, and his acting skills have always been questioned.
This time, Columbia Pictures chose him to play the male lead, also because they want Keanu to play in his true colors and boost the box office. The role of Rosol is set to be a rock star, very similar to Keanu.If it is another type of role, he will definitely not be chosen.
Evan Stoff, as Keanu's agent, is naturally aware of the acting skills of his superstar client, so he uses his strengths and avoids weaknesses when choosing scripts and movies.He didn't forget how pale Keanu's acting skills were set off by Al Pacino in "The Devil's Advocate", and even the fledgling Charlize Theron was much better in performance.
Keanu basically appears on the big screen as a ruthless image. He can be regarded as one of the most famous action stars among male actors born in the 70s, and his masterpieces are almost all action movies.
He has received many bad reviews in his career, such as acting too awkward, looking like a wooden man, his expression is stiff, his emotional line is a mess, etc. Film critics are almost criticizing him for his numb expression, not express feelings.
From his debut to the present, whether it is Keanu, Evan or the film critics themselves, they are a little tired.
This handsome guy made his debut through the nonsensical and funny image of "The Adventures of Bill and Ted" at the beginning, and he doesn't look like an orthodox drama actor.
Although he often encounters venomous tongue, Keanu is still filming according to his own style, and has not been affected much, because the box office of his films is usually not bad, and audiences are willing to go to the cinema to watch, or buy DVDs.
In order to protect Keanu, Evan basically chose films that fit his personal positioning, and has rarely participated in feature films. This "Almost Famous" was requested by Keanu himself, and it was not within the scope of the plan at all. Inside.
In fact, in "The Matrix", Keanu's acting skills are not bad, but in most scenes, his personal style is too heavy, it doesn't look like he is playing Neo, but playing himself.Even the most critical Roger Ebert commented that Keanu Reeves was going after Harrison Ford's nonchalant acting style, which is not obvious, and I support him in this way of acting.
However, in this movie, his acting skills are obvious to all, otherwise he would not be nominated for the Saturn Award for Best Actor, and the actors nominated with him are basically Oscar nominees for acting.
Evan Stoff even has a strong confidence that maybe Keanu can defeat Johnny Depp, Tom Hanks, Bruce Willis and others, and bring back the Saturn Award!
From the past few years to the present, Keanu has not catered to film critics to play roles that are favored by Oscars. He has a very accurate positioning of himself.Now he suddenly wants to improve his acting skills, no wonder Evan Stoff is frightened.
"I star in a movie with Eve. If she nominates for an Oscar and I nominate for a Razzie, this situation obviously cannot happen." Keanu spread his hands and smiled, "I am not for the Oscar, but for the Oscar." It is to avoid being compared by Eve."
Although the reason for the motivation is a bit biased, Evan still agreed: "Your plan is correct. Although the acting life of an actor is very long, it is impossible for you to continue acting in action movies until you are 50, 60, or 70 years old." , At that time, I’m afraid we won’t be able to win at all. We don’t expect to win an Oscar, we can improve our acting skills, and it’s also a good thing to expand the types of filming.”
Evan is very clear that Keanu is not incapable of acting, but needs the director to tap his potential. His acting skills have become more and more mellow after years of precipitation.
Being willing to step out of your comfort zone and continue to break through after encountering setbacks is really commendable!
At this moment, Evan Stoff suddenly felt that the relationship between Keanu and Eve was not all bad, at least there were some positive things.
The author has something to say: It will be a new month soon, and the author should cheer up after being decadent for so long.
Set up a big flag: starting tomorrow, there will be five days in a row!
