[US Entertainment] Superstar

From what Eve knew, she knew that she had been nominated for a supporting actress by the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, and of course Angelina Jolie was with her.

As the seat of Hollywood, Los Angeles has the largest number of film critics, and is most closely associated with the Oscars and awards season.There are not only film critics from local TV stations and radio stations, but also magazines and newspapers. The members are widely distributed, and they will not deliberately avoid blockbusters at the box office. At the same time, they will also affirm some high-quality low-cost films.

It, together with the New York Film Critics Association and the Chicago Film Critics Association, is known as the three major film critics awards in the United States, and has the highest attention among many outposts.

"In addition to Los Angeles, you have also been nominated for Best Supporting Actress in Boston, Detroit, and Seattle. Toronto, Atlanta, and Washington have already been announced, without you."

It can be seen that the film critics like the performance of "The Girl Who Moved Soul" very much. As a newcomer, Eve can be nominated for the four Outpost Film Critics Awards, which is considered very good, at least it has a little momentum.

These outposts are to accumulate momentum for actors who are aiming for the Olympic Games.

Although Eve knew that her chances of winning the award were slim, she was still very excited. The second film she starred in would refresh her reputation among film critics.She thought for a while and asked, "What about the nomination status of Angelina and Winona?"

It's all the same film, so if you nominate yourself, you can't avoid the other two actors.

"Winona is only nominated by the Detroit Film Critics Association, and the rest of the outposts announced have no results. Basically, she has withdrawn from the competition for the Golden Globes and even the Oscars." Robert's expression does not know whether he is happy or sad, it seems Somewhat strange.

He went on to say: "Angelina Jolie has been nominated for any awards you have nominated for. And she has some nominations for those you have not nominated. Now the newspapers are saying that she is the top two seeded contestants for this year's Oscars. , Although the wind vane has not come out yet, several actresses have already emerged."

Julie is indeed a leader in the female supporting role, and Eve's existence is to let her share the votes, so the other agency is very dissatisfied with Eve and Columbia Pictures.

Robert also regrets it now. He promised Columbia Pictures that everything was just to squeeze into the nomination list for the Golden Globe Awards. He didn't expect the film critics to give him such a face.

In addition to Angelina Jolie, "Being John Malkovich" actress Catherine Keener was very vocal, as was Samantha Morton of "Sweet and Low" Chloe Sevigny of "Boys Don't Cry", industry insiders predict that these four actors will definitely be able to enter if there are no problems, and they are relatively stable in terms of film and personal performance.

The focus is on the fifth seat. This position is stared at by many people. It looks like a melee. At present, no one can stand out. It just depends on whether the weather vane can sort out the order after the Golden Globes and the British Oscars.

Although Eve seems to be relatively strong in the outpost, this is based on the premise of the production and distribution company's public relations. Columbia Pictures has made it very clear that Oscar will only push Angelina Jolie.She wants to rely on her own contacts and resources to compete for Aoti, which is tantamount to nonsense.

However, the outside world does not know the Olympic plan of "Soul Shifting Girl", and people in the industry regard her as a strong contender for the fifth place in Oti.

In addition, Cameron Diaz of "Puppet Life" has also gained something in the outpost. Even on the nomination list of the Boston Film Critics Association, "Puppet Life" and "The Girl Who Moved Soul" are both nominated for the same film. The film has four nominations.

Natalie Portman, who played Queen Padmé Amidala in "Star Wars Prequel", also has several nominations for "Hearts and Sky", which is worth mentioning that the director of this film is Eve once The Wayne Wang (Wang Ying) I met at the Hollywood Chinese gathering.

There is another actress, Toni Colette, whose performance in "The Sixth Sense" is not inferior to that of Bruce Willis and Haley Joe Osment.

This horror thriller film, which has grossed nearly [-] million US dollars at the box office in North America and around the world, is even a strong contender for the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director.The high quality of the finished film will naturally add some weight to the nomination of female supporting role.

In fact, for new actors, whether they can get Oscar nominations is indeed very important, but they can also gain a lot of attention in the process of sprinting and competing for Oscars.

Now Eve is no longer an unknown person, but an actress with acting skills and good looks!

This can be seen from the script and project plan that Robert provided. The second half of the year will be when Eve will exert her strength. At the end of October, "Reaper" will be released, and the global box office of 1.5 million US dollars will make New Line Cinema earn The pot is full; "The Girl Who Moved the Soul" released in early December allowed her to set the benchmark for acting skills, and at the same time, she also has a reliable brokerage company.

It can be said that Eve is no longer an unknown person in the industry and even among movie lovers. It is probably at the same level as Charlize Theron, and slightly lower in popularity than actors like Cameron Diaz who take the sweetheart route. .

Cameron Diaz can be said to have developed rapidly in recent years. He made his debut in the astonishing "Disguise", and then played opposite Keanu Reeves in "Falling in Love with Minrisuda". He fell in love with Ewan McGregor in "The Marker", and then collaborated with comedian Ben Stiller in "Mad About Mary", which hit a box office of 1.7 million US dollars in North America. Jia, already a first-line star!

Now she is already working with the great director Martin Scorsese, filming "Gangs of New York" with Daniel Day-Lewis and Leonardo, not to mention that there is "Charlie's Angels" waiting.Even if you don't win an award, your reputation will never be low.

Compared with these post-[-]s actresses, Eve is a little immature, but once the two films in her hands are filmed and released, she will soon be able to catch up!

Both "Mulholland Drive" and "Almost Famous" have a few words in film history. Being able to star in these two classic films has greatly improved Eve.

"I have recently received many invitations for scripts and projects, some of which have very strict shooting time requirements. For example, the shooting will start in January and February next year, so I directly declined. The rest of them will start shooting half a year later. Most of the scripts are commercial films."

"Commercial films?" Eve was a little puzzled. She was getting nominated during the awards season, shouldn't it be literary films?

Robert said sternly: "That's right. You are holding an excellent film for the Olympics. "Almost Famous" is a push from Columbia Pictures next year. If we go to make another film for the Olympics, there will be some conflicts. Sometimes, if two films go to the Olympics, they will only be divided. What you lack now is the resources for commercial films, and you need to be known by more fans and audiences."

This is not only his opinion, but also the opinion of the CAA think tank. They all agree that Eve needs to have a big hit commercial film, otherwise it will be a waste of this perfect start.

They had a meeting today regarding Eve's future development. Actresses almost always rely on business to get into the front line. If they don't have commercial achievements, they will be the same as Holly Hunter and Helen Hunter. How many people know the Oscar queen?

Eve has very good natural conditions, good looks, hot body, superb acting skills, good education background, and a blond-haired Caucasian, and has almost all the conditions to enter the front line.

"Then what scripts have you selected for me?" Eve also knew that she wanted to become a superstar, not a superactor. Which superstar doesn't have a bunch of commercial films?

Robert showed it, and said confidently: "Except for some movies that have already been signed, here are basically the movies that meet your choice. I have already brushed off some other movies in advance, so they look unreliable."

After all, Eve became famous through "Death Comes", so a series of horror thrillers came to the door, most of them were low-budget films, and only a few were large-scale studios.

Although there are some movies produced by small companies that hit the box office every year, the chances are too low, so the staff of caa think that big companies are more reliable, and only large studios can pay enough for the film.

Her favorite part is to read the script, to experience the feeling of being swept away by the waves, and to suddenly find one or two works that she has an impression of among ordinary movies, the joy is like digging a treasure, joy It cannot be described in words or words.

Now it was time to open the treasure chest again. Eve opened the box Robert brought and took out the item list on the top.

She thought it would be a terrible script that she had never seen or heard of, but she took a closer look and found that it was very familiar!

Based on the movie adaptation of the action-adventure game of the same name, the protagonist's name is also Laura Crawford. Isn't this the famous "Tomb Raider"?

She was extremely surprised and asked: "This movie hasn't found a protagonist yet?"

"That's right. Paramount finally got the right to adapt the film. At present, it has only announced the producer. The director, screenwriter, and starring are all unknown. The protagonist Laura is closer to your current age, and her father passed away at that time. , she inherited the Crawford family inheritance and earl title, and began to gain fame in the archaeological world."

This character can be regarded as one of the most attractive heroines in the game world. She has a sexy and hot body and rich experience in wild survival. She wears shorts, tights, and her iconic dress.Every year at Comic Con and Halloween, there will be people cosplaying Laura.

Eve remembers very clearly that this role was taken by Angelina Jolie in her previous life, and then became a classic character. When the new Laura in the rebooted version of Tomb Raider came out, many viewers complained Not as good as Julie's version.

It's a bit of a surprise that this role hasn't been booked yet.Although I may not be able to get the role of Laura, it is a kind of recognition that the project can be placed in front of me. It is a commercial blockbuster with an investment of 8000 million US dollars. Obviously, she was not qualified to see the project plan a few months ago.

"Who are interested in this project?" Eve asked curiously. She must not be the only one who saw it. The top Hollywood actresses would definitely not want to miss this opportunity, and maybe they could really get the top salary.

Robert said with a smile: "Currently, Demi Moore is negotiating. According to gossip, she wants a salary of 1500 million US dollars plus 10% box office dividend. It's not that she hasn't acted in action movies. Hair, playing the role of the first female member of the Marine Corps. Now Angelina - Jolie's agent is said to be approaching, her personal image is very suitable for Laura, you can shoot the cover with her the day after tomorrow Ask appropriately, or pay attention to her body changes."

"Body change?" Eve was a little confused, so she couldn't understand the hint at all.

"Maybe you should play this game. Laura is an expert in sports adventures. If Julie wants this role, she will definitely work out in the gym. It may be difficult to develop muscles in such a short time, but there will definitely be changes."

Eve suddenly realized, "I will pay attention to it a little bit. Does this project say when it will come out?"

"No, maybe it's still in the negotiation period and inspection period. If Jolie wins the Oscar, then basically there will be no suspense."

Eve is also very close in terms of image, but she has a lot of film appointments, and I guess she doesn't have time to exercise her body and practice her accent. If nothing else, this role is still for Julie.

The first is just a project schedule, and the second is the actual script. Eve read: "Bridget Jones' diary..."

"Hey, I think I've heard of this name." Mandy, who had been silent all this time, suddenly became excited and said, "Trust me, you must act in this movie!"

Eve smiled and said, "Actually, I've heard of this name before."

The famous diary of bj's single, which girl who likes European and American movies has never seen it!

From the surface, it is impossible to see that Mandy likes this kind of romantic novels. She is very like a star fan in the works of her idol in Amway: "Bridget-Jones should be based on the novel. I read it several years ago. After reading this novel, I really like BJ's longing for love."

"That's right, it's based on the novel of the same name. The author of the novel, Helen Fielding, is the screenwriter herself, and the other screenwriter is Richard Curtis, who wrote "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and this year's "Notting Hill", the director is the author's good friend Sharon Maguire, Hugh Grant and Colin Firth have already signed, and now the heroine is missing."

"It sounds like the cast and screenwriter are not bad, but would they really choose an American girl like me?" Eve expressed strong doubts. The British are gentlemen on the surface, but they are actually very xenophobic.

If Bridget-Jones really lets himself act, maybe the British spittle will overwhelm him.

Robert asked back: "Why can't you act? As long as you do a good job of accent management, don't use the Los Angeles accent, try to use the London accent to perform, who can recognize it? Besides, if they want to find British actresses, they don't need to be in Hollywood. Come and find."

"I'll try my best." Eve was thinking about not learning the British accent for the time being, but she didn't expect to be slapped in the face immediately.At least the accent problem must be solved when auditioning or filming the audition dv, otherwise you will be out of the competition.

Robert said solemnly: "It's not as much as possible, but it is necessary. This movie has a very broad readership base. If you can get it, it will definitely leave a deep impression on the female audience. Most importantly, "Bj Single "Diary" invested about 2500 million U.S. dollars, and it is destined that there will be no big stars to grab it, and your chances are better."

"The cost of adapting a novel that has sold millions of copies to a movie is so low?"

"It's just a romantic movie. It's hard to recover the cost if it makes a big investment. The producer WorkingTitleFilms is very good at making low-budget movies, and has rich experience in production and distribution. Normally, "Bj's Single Diary" is not a problem to make a profit. Just watch How much can you earn?"

The British company has made many small-budget films, such as "Notting Hill" starring Julia Roberts, "Elizabeth" starring Cate Blanchett and Joseph Fiennes, Jeff Bridges' "The Big Lebowski", "Fargo" by Mrs. Coen and the Coen Brothers, "Death Row Walking" by Susan Sarandon, "Four Weddings and a Funeral" by Hugh Grant, etc.

Since the agents are so optimistic about it, Eve also plans to take the risk. Anyway, the audition won't take much time, and it depends on whether he can impress the author, producer, and director of the original work.

"I'll find time tomorrow to go to the bookstore to buy this book and read it."

Mandy hesitated to speak, she didn't know whether to tell what she knew.If you don't say it, you might waste your time doing some useless work.

In the end, reason prevailed. Mandy sat up straight and said weakly: "Maybe you haven't read the novel. The bj in the novel is a single woman in her 30s with a slightly obese body. Her only two wishes It's about losing weight and getting a real love. Miss Campbell, you are too thin, and there seems to be a little difference in age."

"You can try makeup on your age, but you can't fake your figure. Gaining weight is a bit scary." Robert feels that things have become a little tricky. If he is sure that he can get the role, it is okay to gain ten or twenty pounds to get close to the role .

But now Eve has not even started the audition, and there is still a film to be filmed that requires her to show a good figure. It is too risky to gain weight just for the audition!

In order to be sexy and beautiful in the movie, Eve now weighs only 110 pounds, which is only 50kg when converted.At first glance, it seems a bit heavy for an actress, but she is 172cm tall. This figure is just right. There is no trace of fat on her body. The breasts are not particularly outstanding, but they are definitely not small.

If you gain weight, you will not become fat, you will only become plump.But Eve herself didn't know how to deal with her figure. It was impossible for her to gain weight during the filming of "Almost Famous", but could she wait until April or May next year to audition for "Bj's Single Diary"?

Obviously impossible.Now that the two male leads, the director, and the screenwriter have been confirmed, the only thing left is the female lead to start filming.

Eve sighed. The two projects I have seen so far really want to act, but I have no skills. Watching them slip away from my hands is completely cutting flesh. It is better not to watch these projects!

"Then do you have any other suitable projects in your hands? Let's take bj's single diary as an alternative. If the audition time is suitable, go and see it. If it's not suitable, forget it." Eve must learn to choose and give up. It is almost impossible to win every favorite script and character.

A person's energy is very limited. Even if he is obsessed with filming, he can shoot at most three films a year. If there are more, he will have no time to experience the characters.

And the most important point is that she likes the script, but the production company will not wait in line just because she likes it. At least at this time, Eve doesn't have the influence to make the crew stop and wait for her alone.

Perhaps in the distant future, after she became famous, there was such a possibility.

"It's a bit troublesome to have to think about the shooting arrangement of the crew all the time. It would be nice if I was the producer myself. At that time, I could at least customize the shooting plan according to my own needs."

This idea began to emerge in Eve's mind, and it seemed very feasible.

Many actors will serve as producers of film projects after becoming famous. Only when they become producers will they really have the right to speak. In the final analysis, Hollywood is the producer's master!

Robert didn't know that his contracted artist had ambitions at this time. After searching the script for a while, he said: "Although we have got a lot of scripts now, the competition is extremely fierce. Here is a script like It’s custom made just for you.”

"Tailor-made?" Eve immediately became interested. She didn't actually feel that she was famous at the moment, but felt the gap in fame.

Although I can see the script, it is almost impossible to act in it. Appearance, acting skills, popularity, schedule, and connections are all indispensable.

Robert flipped through for a while, finally found the script, and solemnly handed it over to Eve, saying, "This is a love movie, about the conflict between a blonde beauty and Harvard Law School. The empty-headed misconception is reversed, showing audiences that blonde girls can be smart."

Eve knew what movie it was just from this simple description, and Robert was still dancing: "You are a brilliant student who graduated from the School of Cinematic Arts of Southern California. Although it is not an Ivy League school, it is still very good overall, especially your school. It is directly the number one in the United States. Most of the actors in the entertainment industry have not actually gone to college, and your advantage is obvious."

First of all, she just graduated not long ago, so she can just act like a college student. Secondly, her natural blonde hair is more attractive than the dyed blonde hair. Although her hair is still a bit short, there is still a long time before shooting.

"MGM's current situation is very poor. Last year, only one movie was released. The production cost of "Legal Blonde" was only 1800 million US dollars. The previous overlord has fallen to this point."

"This movie sounds interesting, let's keep it as the main goal."

"A wise choice!" Robert snapped his fingers, "I'll ask tomorrow and see how I can win this movie."

"waiting for your good news."
