[US Entertainment] Superstar

"Charlie's Angel? Isn't it Charlie's Angels?" Eve's mind quickly flashed such a thought, "It turns out that the preparation of this movie has only started now. I don't know if the actors have been selected yet."

She felt that this Cantonese-style morning tea shop was really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. There were two martial artists from China at the table where they sat casually, and they were also members of the famous Yuan Jiaban!

In her previous life, Eve had acted in many kung fu movies and martial arts movies. She had heard about the most famous martial arts classes in the industry, such as the Yuan family class Qi Xiaofu, Yuan family class, married family class, Cheng family class, etc. They were all role models.

At that time, she thought that she was going to become a monk halfway through the sword, but she didn't expect that she would gradually break away from martial arts movies by chance later on, and no longer had to play wits, knives, guns and sticks.

Having trained Keanu Reeves, he is obviously the martial arts instructor team of "The Matrix", coupled with the iconic title of Yuan Baye and the martial arts instructor of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the hint is too obvious.

Eve is quite interested in the movie "Charlie's Angels", but currently there is no time for training and filming, otherwise she really wants to audition.

However, the three heroines of the movie should have already been chosen, and she can't replace the rest.

Drew Barrymore was very popular in the 90s, and she was also the producer of "Charlie's Angels". She owns the copyright of the TV series "Charlie's Angels", and she is really a rich woman.

And the other starring Cameron Diaz is also a famous sweet sister, who has starred in classic films such as "Ghost in Mask" and "I'm Crazy About Mary", and even talked to Julie in "My Best Friend's Wedding". Ya-Roberts competed for the same man.

The only actor who lacks fame is Lucy Liu. At this time, Lucy Liu finally became a resident character in the TV series "Sweet Hearts" and one of the three leading actors in "Charlie's Angels". It is really very difficult.

It just so happens that she meets the requirements of the producer. As a Chinese face, she can bring fresh Asian elements to the audience. In addition, she is good at martial arts.

Although Eve does not shoot action movies for the time being, it is inevitable that she will encounter them when shooting commercial movies in the future.

When she turned her head to take a look first, she found that Chen Hu was holding a Nokia mobile phone and was calling someone in English.

Within a few minutes, the roar of the motorcycle came from far to near, and then stopped at the entrance of the hotel.

After a man in black trousers and a white T-shirt stopped the car, he stepped off the motorcycle with his long legs and unfastened the helmet around his neck with both hands, revealing a mature and handsome face.

"Mr. Reeves, please come inside. Your friend is already waiting inside." The waiter was not surprised when he saw Keanu Reeves, but directly led him towards Chen Hu's table. Regular customers.

"Tiger, long time no see. I heard that you won the San Francisco martial arts championship some time ago. Congratulations."

Chen Hu, a young Chinese at the table next to Eve, stood up and hugged Keanu. He smiled and said, "It is not difficult to win a martial arts championship in the United States, but it is difficult to return to China. Let me introduce you, this is Yuan Heping Master's younger brother, Master Yuan Xiangren."

Keanu Reeves likes Chinese culture very much, but Chinese pronunciation is still too difficult for him, so he can only say in an awkward and slurred voice: "Master Yuan, your Chinese kung fu is too good."

Yuan Xiangren said proudly: "You are right, Chinese Kung Fu is very powerful, not only in the part shown in the movie. I heard that you are learning martial arts with Tiger?"

"I'm practicing, but I'm about to leave for the UK to perform, and then to tour in North America. The second and third parts of The Matrix are in the process of preparing the script, and it is estimated that the filming will start next year. Now practice first, and you will be able to relax when shooting. A lot." Keanu looked serious.

Chen Hu said apologetically, "I'm sorry I can't go on tour with you, I have to go to the crew of "Charlie's Angels" to train the girls."

Originally, Keanu wanted to hire him as a personal trainer, but Chen Hu didn't want to be bound by an actor, and it was more suitable for him to be a martial arts instructor on the set, so he found a job through Yuan Xiangren's contacts.

"That's a good thing. I've watched this TV series. It was a classic many years ago. It will definitely make the audience exclaim when it is made into a movie." Keanu is happy for his friend's success, "I and Cameron She has worked with a film, she is very dedicated, and she will definitely endure hardships for the film effect."

"I haven't met them yet..."

Eve wanted to lower her sense of existence, but the phone in her bag rang suddenly.

If it was someone else's call, she would definitely not answer it, but this is the call from the agent Robert, maybe there is something urgent, so she can only answer the call, covering her mouth with her hands, so as to lower her voice.

"Hello? Robert? Are you there?"

An excited voice came from the other end of the phone: "Congratulations! I just spoke to the producer of Sony Columbia, and they said that the contract can be signed tomorrow morning!"

I already knew the news when the audition was over, but it was never confirmed, and now Eve couldn't help but feel a lot happier, "Great, then I'll reschedule the flight to the afternoon tomorrow, and try to fly back as early as possible."

"Let me tell you another piece of good news. The original news was that the production cost was only 1500 million U.S. dollars, but in fact Columbia offered a super high budget of 4000 million U.S. dollars, of which the actual production budget was 3000 million, and there was still 1000 million Wan's public relations and publicity funds for the awards season. So I raised your salary quotation from 10 US dollars to 20 US dollars, and the other party agreed without any objection!"

Obviously, "The Girl Who Moved Soul" is going for the Oscars.

"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" is an Oscar winner, and the female version of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" created by Columbia also wants to gain something in the awards season and even the Oscars.

The capitalists are willing to give this digital investment, and they must want to double or even multiply it back.

Once the word-of-mouth is excellent, it can gain a sense of presence with various awards and walk out of the long-term trend in the box office market. If it can be favored by the Oscars, it can be sold to various countries and regions around the world.

Yesterday, Eve was still happy with the $10 salary, but today it suddenly doubled. It is indeed time to celebrate!

"Do they have any other conditions?"

"Of course there is. In addition to going to the set to film at the specified time, it is to cooperate with public relations to attend related activities during the awards season, such as premieres, screening ceremonies, TV programs, media interviews, etc."

These are considered normal rules, and Eve didn't find it strange at all. She replied, "Then let's see each other tomorrow."

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

When she put down the phone, she found that there was another person opposite her.

Keanu Reeves looked at these snacks on Eve's table in amazement. He showed a bright smile and said hello, "I didn't notice you when I entered the restaurant just now. Do you like these Chinese foods very much?"

"Of course, these foods are delicious, but it's a pity that there are only steamed chicken feet, not pickled chicken feet." Eve was a little regretful. When I visited the Chinese supermarket, I didn't see snacks like pickled chicken feet at all, otherwise I would definitely have to eat them. Buy a bag and eat some occasionally when you have nothing to do.

"I thought you had gone to New York to film, but I didn't expect to see you here. This is my favorite Chinese restaurant."

"I was just wandering around Chinatown, and I happened to be a little hungry, so I found this store by chance. It seems that I was very lucky, and I found the best one in Chinatown." Eve jokingly said, "Actually I just flew back from New York yesterday on leave of absence to audition for a role."

Keanu had heard what Eve said on the phone earlier, and knew that the contract was about to be signed, so he congratulated: "Congratulations, it seems that this role should belong to you."

"If you don't sign the contract, no one can tell." Eve treats him as an ordinary friend, not a big star who rejects people thousands of miles away, "Guess who is the leading actor, a friendly reminder, you and She's worked on a movie."

Keanu leaned on the back of the wooden chair, thinking about it. He has worked with many actors, but he really can't remember it all at once.

"Sandra? I heard that she has already started working as a producer. Do you want to partner with her?" Keanu Reeves had such an idea in his mind, just as Sandra Bullock had already Transitioning to be a producer, there are two films waiting to start this year.

Eve shook her head, "The one who worked with you on "400 Years of Surprise."

Keanu suddenly realized, "You mean Winona?"

"It's her, she is the producer of "The Girl Who Moved Soul"."

"I remember that when she was filming "400 Years of Surprise" in Romania, she was holding the book and reading it. She wanted to play the leading role in it very early on. After waiting for so many years, she finally started filming."

Eve counted, and it has indeed been quite a few years. It seems that "The Girl Who Moved Soul" has become Winona's obsession, and after six years, it is finally possible to shoot!

Keanu Reeves looked at Chen Hu and Yuan Xiangren, who were frequently looking over here, and asked in a low voice, "Over there is a friend I met when I was filming "The Matrix". Do you know me?"

"Very happy, I like Chinese culture very much." Eve wanted to get to know the martial arts masters of Yuan's class before, and just had this opportunity.

So she got up and walked towards the next table with Keanu.

Keanu pointed to Eve and said, "Master Yuan, Tiger, this is a friend of mine. I just met here. She is also an actress."

Who knew that Eve greeted the two of them in fluent Chinese: "Mr. Yuan, Mr. Chen, good afternoon, you can call me Eve."

A girl with blond hair and blue eyes suddenly greeted her in such a well-spoken Mandarin, which was much more standard than Yuan Xiangren's Hong Kong Pu.

Not only Chen Hu and Yuan Xiangren were surprised, but even Keanu was equally astonished. When did this girl light up her Chinese skills?There are simply too many incredible things about her, and every meeting will give Keanu a feeling of reacquaintance.

Regarding Chinese, Keanu once tried to learn it, but had to give up because it was too difficult.

"You can speak Chinese?" He realized that he didn't know Eve at all. Every time this girl appeared, she was surprised. People couldn't help but wonder how many hidden skills she had.

In order to answer Keanu's doubts, Eve switched to English and said, "I have part of Chinese ancestry. My grandma and family are Chinese who came to the United States to escape the war, and I also took Chinese courses in high school."

That's exactly what the original owner did. She easily got an A+ in the Chinese course, but she didn't reach the level of Eve's current fluency, because her soul is actually a Chinese from many years later.

Eve's Chinese ancestry is hardly noticeable. She has blond hair, blue eyes and white skin, and there is no trace of a yellow race at all. After all, one quarter is too little.

Yuan Xiangren said with emotion: "I have never met an actor who can speak Chinese like you in Hollywood. Even the accent of Lucy Liu in "Charlie's Angels" is not very standard. You have a good grandma."

"Yes, she's fine, and I've always hoped that I could go back and take a look for her." In Eve's memory, her grandma had a good relationship with the original owner, but she died of illness before going to university, and she never returned to her hometown. Take a look.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit gloomy, Keanu changed the subject and said, "Eve, how long are you going to stay in New York? Our Sirius band will have a New York tour in five days, you can come and see."

"Five days? I should still be in New York, but I may not be able to come if I shoot night scenes. If I have time, I will definitely go there."

Eve also couldn't guarantee the time. She had already delayed the filming progress by asking for leave to come to Los Angeles, and it was impossible to ask for leave from the crew.In addition, most of the time in "Death Comes" is actually shot at night, and the night will add another layer of mystery to the horror thriller.

"It doesn't matter if I can't come, this tour will span across North America, and I will go on tour before I leave for Australia to film the sequel of "The Matrix"." Keanu said vigorously, his words were full of expectations.

He realized that he really didn't know Eve, and now he became more and more curious about what surprises Eve could bring, and even wanted to ask her out for a meal, but he didn't say anything.

Take things slowly step by step. At that time, we got married in a hurry and divorced in a hurry. Now we start with ordinary friends and get to know each other better.

Keanu doesn't care much about his career as an actor, and now his whole heart belongs to the band.

If it weren't for the backing of such a blockbuster movie sequel, how would an ordinary actor dare to take a break for a year or two? I'm afraid the audience will hope it, and the major studios will forget it.

It is very difficult to find something interesting. Eve is a little different from him. What she likes is acting. She enjoys the feeling of acting in front of the camera, so she doesn't think there is any problem with filming.

Maybe one day after she has filmed enough scenes, she will also feel bored, but it is definitely not now.

Maybe everyone is not very familiar with it. After chatting for a few words, Eve found an excuse to check out and leave, leaving space for the three of them and not bothering them anymore.Keanu came to see Chen Hu on his motorcycle, he must have something to talk about.

After coming out of Chinatown, Eve didn't take a long walk and took a taxi back to the hotel.Wait until the salary of "The Girl Who Moves the Soul" comes down before I go shopping. Now my wallet is a little bit flat, and I have enough energy to spare for those skin care products.
