[US Entertainment] Superstar

"bang bang bang"

When Eve was packing simple luggage, she had to stop her work due to the hasty knock on the door, and walked to the door quickly. She stuck to the cat's eye and looked out, and opened the door after confirming that it was Robert.

It's good to be cautious when you're out alone.

"Did it go so early?" Eve asked curiously, "It's only past eight in the morning. People from Colombia are on the list so early?"

Who knew that Robert suddenly took out a stack of newspapers and put them on the coffee table, with a complicated expression on his face: "Congratulations, you are on the news. It's just that no one knows your name."

Eve was confused, "What's the news? "The Girl Who Moved Soul" has announced the casting status? Or did someone in the know reveal that I stole someone else's role?"

She thought about it, except for a wonderful interim collaboration with Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie on the Columbia set yesterday, nothing else seemed to happen.

Could it be that the crew is warming up in advance?

"Neither, just read the newspaper yourself, it's all headlines." Robert wanted to make her popular quickly, but definitely not in this way.

Eve sat on the sofa and unfolded a copy of the "National Enquirer". The headline on the front page was a blurry photo taken by a paparazzi.

And the protagonists in that photo are clearly her and Keanu Reeves!

The headline of the news was "Keanu's Romance Exposed", but the paparazzi and the media did not report Eve's name because she is still an unknown person and a passerby.

[Yesterday, "The Matrix" actor Keanu Reeves rushed from Beverly Hills to Chinatown by bicycle, and had afternoon tea with a mysterious girl. The two talked intimately, and their new relationship was exposed after many years...]

Keanu, who rarely appears in entertainment gossip magazines, was photographed by the paparazzi this time because he sat down and had a few words with Eve.

"National Enquirer" is a gossip newspaper that is specially distributed in airports, train stations, supermarkets and small newsstands. Each issue has a circulation of several million copies. Dig the sore media.

The front-page headlines of "World News Weekly", "Globe", and "National Enquirer" next to each other are all similar, with Keanu's new relationship on them!

The white moonlight actor in the eyes of Americans rarely appears in gossip magazines. The last time Keanu made headlines was when he was lying on the side of the street chatting with homeless people. The media thought he had a mental breakdown.

It just so happens that there hasn't been any explosive gossip news recently. After the paparazzi took the photos, they were directly sold to these newspapers and magazines. When you look closely, each photo has a little difference.It can be seen that the paparazzi also have professional ethics, saying exclusive is definitely exclusive.

Eve tried her best to recall the situation at that time. She didn't even notice that someone outside was secretly filming, because she had been a little transparent for decades and never developed the habit of this.

In addition, she was eating in a restaurant, so she didn't expect the paparazzi to take pictures from the window. These paparazzi probably followed Keanu all the time.

"What should we do now?" Eve had never experienced such a thing before, and didn't know how to deal with it, so she could only turn to her agent for help.

Robert spread his hands: "The way to deal with it depends on your relationship with Keanu. Are you two really dating secretly?"

He now understands a little bit that Eve was introduced by Keanu's manager Evan Stoff.What's more, when I was in the car repair shop last time, Eve and Keanu had signs, and now they were even photographed by the paparazzi eating together.

"It's definitely not a date, I said it's a coincidence, do you believe it?"

"Do you think this is God's guidance? Let the two of you go to the same restaurant at the same time and sit at the same table?" Robert repeatedly asked: "I don't allow you to fall in love, but I want to have The right to know. If even the agent keeps it secret, how can I help you answer it from the media?"

He is very angry now, not about being in love, but because he is not being honest. He actually read the news about the dating of contracted artists from gossip newspapers.

Eve spread her hands and explained: "It's such a coincidence. Keanu went to find the martial arts instructor of The Matrix, and I happened to be eating there, so we chatted for a while. If I really fell in love, I would definitely tell you."

"Well, getting involved in gossip and gossip too early can be a big blow to you. Not every actress can be Nicole Kidman, she is now being seen by the media as Tom Cruise Do you want to have a similar reputation as an accessory?"

Almost ten years ago, Nicole Kidman met and got married with Tom Cruise because of the movie "Ambition of Thunder", and successfully broke into Hollywood from an ordinary Australian actor.

In these ten years, no matter how many movies and roles she has starred in, the public will only have the impression that she is Tom Cruise's wife!

It is undeniable that Nicole has gained a lot of attention and movie resources because of her identity as Mrs. Cruise, but the public has almost completely wiped out her efforts in movies, and only thinks that she is an ultimate vase.

This is probably why she worked hard to make movies and seek a breakthrough after her divorce. She used an Oscar queen to announce to the world that she is Nicole Kidman, not an accessory of others.

Robert warned Eve in the past, but at this time Nicole has not divorced Liang Tang, and her identity is still Mrs. Cruise.

If she really intends to have her own status in the film and television industry, it is definitely not a good thing to be labeled as the rumored girlfriend of Keanu Reeves too early. The rumored boyfriend got it, and he paid more attention to the news outside the movie, rather than the performance in the movie.

Once such an impression is fixed, it will be too difficult to tear off the label and break out of the cocoon!

Eve also realized the seriousness of the matter, and she was very glad that her relationship with Keanu had not been exposed, otherwise she would have to go to Hollywood in the name of Keanu's ex-wife now.

Although the popularity will increase, maybe there will be interviews with print media and TV media, but it will become a reality show star, not an actor.

"I understand what you mean." Eve nodded, "I happen to be making movies recently, so no reporter should find me."

"Let's sign the contract later, and then I'll ask Mr. Stove to see if we can lighten the deal. He must also have a headache. Now is the time for Keanu to stabilize the front line. I don't want to find extra trouble."

……

And the Evan Stoff they were talking about was sitting in front of a heavy computer monitor, holding the mouse with one hand, and slowly swipe across the screen with the other hand.

Keanu is the star he unearthed by himself. Although he is not very ambitious, he stumbled and got lucky all the way. After briefly winning the first-line battle with "Speed" in 1994, he successfully returned to the front-line battlefield this year because of "The Matrix".

Evan Stoff was browsing the entertainment section of Yahoo. The most prominent news here was Keanu Reeves' new love affair!

If others don't know him, can he still admit his mistake?

Although the pixels of the photos are relatively low, he recognized the girl opposite Keanu at a glance. Isn't that exactly Eve Campbell!

Why do you have to meet when you have already signed the divorce agreement?

"I knew that I shouldn't have agreed to her request and let her enter Hollywood. Maybe she asked someone to take this photo!" Evan Storf was furious, "The next step will be the media. Dig up her name?"

He speculated maliciously that similar cases abound in Hollywood.

There are too many scheming girls who want to catch Hollywood stars and enjoy the thrill of being famous.

Evan Stoff knew Keanu's character, maybe this guy didn't know he was being used at all.

He originally thought that netizens would be upset when they saw the news, but he didn't expect the Yahoo community to be full of blessings!

"The New Yorker said the world didn't deserve Keanu, but he deserved happiness."

"Who is that lucky girl? I hope she can live a good life with Keanu."

"Congratulations"

"Who's Keanu's girlfriend? She looks beautiful."

"Usually I don't get emotional about celebrity relationships, but seeing Keanu so happy now, everything is worth it."

"After all these years, Keanu finally found someone to talk to again, happy for him!"

"He deserves the best in the world!"

"Someone I love has a girlfriend, but really, happy for him."

Evan Stoff has been Keanu's agent for these years, and he has experienced various things with him. After seeing the blessings and joy of netizens, he also calmed down.

If Eve Campbell can really go on with Keanu, it would be a good thing.Evan has been worried about Keanu's mental state for the past two years, especially after the flash marriage in Las Vegas.

"I hope this Ms. Campbell will not mess around, or Hollywood will really not tolerate you." Evan Stoff's eyes were fierce. He couldn't block a big star, but it was easy to block a small actor.

He turned his head to look at the text message on the phone, not knowing how to respond to the inquiry message sent by Keanu's mother Patricia.Patricia has always been concerned about her son's relationship status, especially after experiencing a major blow in the previous two years, she is finally dating a girl again, which is a step towards a new life anyway.

Fortunately, Evan Stoff didn't hesitate too long, and Robert's call came.

"Hello, Mr. Stove, I don't know if you have read the contents published in the tabloids recently."

Before he finished speaking, Evan Stoff was furious: "I asked you to bring Eve, not to use Keanu to stir up the heat!"

Robert was a little annoyed after being choked. We are all partners of CAA. Although the stars in charge are not the same, it is too arbitrary to directly blame him on his side now.

"First of all, the paparazzi has nothing to do with us. Second, if you want to clarify the rumors, please don't mention Eve's name. We don't want to be famous in this way. She would rather see her movie being released and being criticized. People and the audience praise or criticize, rather than being treated as gossip. I don’t know why you recommended Eve to me, but she is a very talented actor, and she has been studying the script and acting skills with great concentration. Borrowing someone else's idea of ​​superiority, your groundless speculation is an insult to her."

Although he has a good temper, it doesn't mean he will swallow his anger, especially when he protects his contracted artists, he is like an old hen protecting his cubs.

After listening to this long passage, Evan suddenly relaxed: "I won't make any clarifications. Once there is a reply to the gossip news from these tabloids, no matter whether the report is true or not, the public will believe it. It's better to just ignore it. The news will naturally cool down."

"That's exactly what we wanted. Sorry to bother you, goodbye."

"Wait." Evan Stoff hurriedly stopped, he found himself a little concerned and confused, "Isn't Eve filming "Death Comes" in New York? Why did she appear in Chinatown?"

Robert explained: "Recently, there is an all-female cast in Columbia. Eve came back to audition and got the role. Today she will go back to New York to continue filming."

"OK, more filming will be good for her."

If Keanu's rumored object in the news is other actresses, Evan will not be angry at all, but will be happy because of it.But it happened that the woman who had been married to Keanu was too free and easy during the divorce, which caused him to keep thinking about whether Eve had other plans.

People who have been calculating others are always worried that they will be calculated by others.

Now that Eve's agent took the initiative to call to communicate the situation, Evan Stoff was relieved a lot.

He overreacted, and the person involved, Keanu Reeves, didn't care about such news at all. He said to his agent on the phone: "It was a coincidence yesterday. I called Tiger, and it happened that he was eating in Chinatown. I ended up going there. Only then did I realize that Eve ordered a bunch of food on the table next to her, so she chatted for a while, but she was photographed by the reporter. By the way, do you know that she can speak Chinese?"

"Why should I know?"

Evan Stoff was confused, what happened to this guy's vaguely proud tone?

Keanu replied: "Okay, I know. The last time I saw her, she was learning to weld in the garage, and I was wondering what else she didn't know."

You learn something new when you act in a movie. If you shoot more movies, wouldn’t you become a decathlete?

"I called you just for one thing. Eve doesn't want to expose her identity. When you go to Los Angeles Airport later, you will be surrounded by paparazzi and reporters. Like flies, they will definitely ask about the photos. Just answer your ordinary friend directly, don't say her name."

"I understand." Keanu scratched his hair with his hands, and looked at his sleepy self in the mirror. He was drinking with two other members of the band yesterday, and now he has to get up early to catch a flight to the UK to perform.If his agent hadn't called, he wouldn't have known he was on the headlines of the gossip tabloids.

Evan Stoff warned: "You can't relax in physical training now. The Wachowski brothers have submitted the first version of the script for the sequel to "The Matrix". If it goes well, the filming will start next year."

"When can I see the script?"

"It will be sent to your mailbox now, but if you want to print it, you must keep it confidential."

It's just the first version of the script, and there is definitely a long way to go before the final product. If it can be kept secret, it must be kept secret, especially for sci-fi films with themes like The Matrix, where the script is strictly guarded.

If Keanu was not the absolute protagonist of "The Matrix", it would be impossible for Evan to send the script over.

It can be said that "The Matrix" without Keanu Reeves would not be called "The Matrix"!

The importance can be imagined.

……

Eve was sitting in the passenger seat of the car. She put the contract in her bag and was going to go to the bank to deposit it in the safe later.

She had rented a safe from Bank of America before, and there was nothing in it except the contract.

It is not safe to store something as important as a contract in a rented house. Whether it is affected by burglars, fires, or water leaks, it is safer to store it in a bank.

Now that she has officially become a member of the crew of "The Girl Who Moved Soul", the only thing she has to do is to hurry back to New York to finish filming "Death Comes".

That horror flick is being pushed so hard that this year's Halloween schedule doesn't feature any big-release horror thrillers, save for a reboot of "The Haunted House."

What is more threatening is "The World of Yin and Yang" released two weeks before Halloween, because it is a movie directed by the great director Martin Scorsese and starring Oscar winner Nicolas Cage.

In the last few years of the end of the twentieth century, Nicolas Cage can be said to be very popular, contributing one after another wonderful movies, such as "Brave to Kill the Island", "Changing Face", "City of Angels" And "Far From Las Vegas", which won the best actor.

With an investment of 5500 million U.S. dollars, the film has assembled a big director and actor, and it looks like a box office bomb no matter how you look at it.If the trend is good, the release two weeks will also affect Halloween, because the theme also happens to be related to the undead.

The scale of New Line Pictures itself is not large, and most of the working capital is invested in the shooting of the "Lord of the Rings" series, and these low-cost films are urgently needed to replenish blood.

After Eve thought about it for a while, Robert returned to the driver's seat after making the phone call. She asked, "How is the communication with Evan? Is he an asshole?"

"You are right, he is a complete jerk, but he also promised not to release your identity information to the media. Next time you want to see Keanu, remember to pretend."

"Why do you think we will meet again?" Eve was a little curious.

"You guys seem to have a story. I'm not blind or foolish. If one day you're ready to tell it, I'll listen."

Robert can clearly see that the relationship between Eve and Keanu is a bit delicate, and they are not like ordinary friends, nor are they close friends.

Eve didn't deny it, she smiled and said, "Thank you, if I can say anything in the future, I will tell you the truth."

"Sure enough! I knew it would be like this." Robert scratched his head anxiously, unable to guess the specific relationship, he could only think wildly.

But even if she scratched her hair bald, she never thought that Eve and Keanu had divorced.
