[US Entertainment] Superstar

More than two hours seemed to pass in the blink of an eye. When the members of the Sirius band stood in a row and bowed to the audience, Eve realized that it was already 10:30 in the evening.

The audience was originally chanting Keanu's name, but now everyone is chanting Sirius and Encore, and everyone is unwilling to leave, wanting to listen for a while longer.

The first thing lead singer Rob walked into the backstage was to unscrew the cap of the mineral water bottle, and kept singing with a high pitch of emotion, his voice was about to smoke.

Although Keanu was quietly playing the bass, his short hair was soaked in sweat, and his T-shirt was tightly attached to his body.

"What do you think of our scene?" He was a little curious about Eve's evaluation, playing in a band gave him a feeling of escaping from real life.

Eve nodded again and again: "It's great, the atmosphere is very good. I've never heard live rock, and I don't know how it sounds like with other bands. The audience is very excited, and I completely forget about my troubles."

Brett leaned on the back of the chair carelessly: "We are going to eat something later, can you come together? We all welcome you to join, right?"

After all, he gave Keanu a punch, brother is very competent for this.

This reminded Keanu, he wiped the sweat off his face with a paper towel, and invited: "Just finished the performance, everyone is a little hungry, we are going to the best pizza place in Brooklyn, covered with soft cheese Pepperoni, very tasty!"

Eve shook her head and said, "I still have an important scene to shoot tomorrow morning, so I have to go back and have a good rest. You just have to have a good time. I wish you a smooth tour. See you next time."

At this time, the director and screenwriters were staying up all night to revise the script for themselves. If they went back to the set after a carnival all night, the shooting status would definitely not be good, and it would disappoint the expectations of the director and producers.

At the current stage, the most important thing for Eve is work. The first film is facing the situation of modifying and adding scenes, so it must be paid attention to.

Only then did she realize that she seemed to have forgotten a very important thing.

"Death is Coming" did not tell the agent about the revision of the script!Obviously, Robert had to be notified to let the agent be mentally prepared.

Keanu is also an actor. He understands the feeling of filming in the crew. It is not easy to come out to watch a performance. For newcomers, delaying filming is delaying career.He said without thinking: "Let our driver take you back to the hotel. It's not safe to take a taxi back so late."

However, his two good brothers lowered their heads and coughed violently at the same time. Eve couldn't stand the fake acting. She readily accepted this arrangement, "That's great, thank you, I had a great time tonight."

"Let me take you to the back door of the bar. Is everything okay with you filming?" Keanu didn't forget that her dream is to film. For this reason, he made a phone call with an old friend to make a side note, apparently because he cared about "The Girl Who Moved Soul" "The preparations were actually asking for the producer's evaluation of the actors.

"I asked Winona before, she is very satisfied with your acting skills, and thinks that the three of you can give a wonderful rivalry together. I don't know if you can catch up with this year's awards season."

Eve walked side by side with him towards the back door of the bar, and was not surprised at all after hearing this comment, "The time may be a bit rushed, the crew will start around August 8th, the producer gave a shooting time of one month, but it depends on the weather Depends."

Although Keanu Reeves has never been nominated for an Oscar, he has been working in Hollywood for so many years and knows how the award season works. It will be screened on time, and if the word-of-mouth response is good, it will be released on a large scale in January next year."

"The post-production time is too tight, and the editor will have to stay up all night." Eve is just an actor, and she doesn't want the filmed work to be released too hastily.

Fortunately, they are all feature films, and there are not many fighting and special effects elements. It took a few months to complete rough editing, formal editing, composition and soundtrack, special effects synthesis, and dubbing synthesis, which was a bit crowded.

However, the behind-the-scenes staff in Hollywood are all experienced people, and their quality must be guaranteed.

Thanks to the development of computer technology, all shooting materials are recorded in the computer, which can be operated with a simple mouse and keyboard to improve efficiency, and can be played immediately after editing to view the effect.

As a director, the original owner has learned these contents in detail, and Eve has not forgotten after accepting the body memory. Perhaps in the future, after she has achieved a certain level of acting, she can use the resources around her to realize her dream of being a director.

There are many, many people who are good at acting, such as Mel Gibson's "Braveheart", Kevin Costner's "Dances with Wolves", Ben Affleck's "Escape from Tehran", Bradley Koo Perry's "A Star Is Born", all the works of Mr. Clint Eastwood, etc., there are many successful examples and many failed ones.

Eve didn't act rashly, Hollywood is an extremely realistic place, and she was going to start the corresponding plan when she reached the peak of her acting career.

After becoming a star, even if there is a bad script, someone will invest.If you don't become a star, with a good script, you will be smashed in various studios.

Keanu pushed open the back door of the bar and let Eve step out first like a gentleman.It was close to midnight, the night was as cool as water, without the hustle and bustle in the bar, Eve's ears could finally be clean for a while, and there was some tinnitus just now.

"Old Tom, can you help me send this beautiful lady back? We won't be using the car for a while."

The old white man leaning against the front of the car smoking looked to be in his 60s or [-]s. He threw the flaming cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it out with his feet. "It's my honor. I'm on call anytime." seat door.

Eve turned to Keanu and said, "I'm very happy tonight. Your band performed very well. I hope to hear your new album soon."

"It shouldn't be too far away. Goodbye, maybe we will meet in Los Angeles next time." Keanu hugged Eve, watched her get into the car with the hem of her skirt, and watched the car go away.

After he returned to the backstage of the bar, Brett said bitterly, "Why did you come back?"

"Because I want to eat and rest?" Keanu gave his own answer.

"You should send Eve back. It's just you and her on such a long journey. Every love movie is like this." Doug didn't know what happened to the young people now.

Keanu sat back on the chair, "My relationship with her is different from what you imagine."

At the beginning of the flash marriage, she filed for divorce within a day, but now she doesn't know what Eve is thinking.

Divorce is a moment of joy, chasing his wife to the crematorium!

……

After telling the driver, Old Tom, Eve quickly took out her mobile phone and called her manager Robert.

Although it's a bit late now, due to the time difference between the east and the west, it's not even ten o'clock in the evening in Los Angeles.

Robert, who was about to put the child to sleep, heard the ringing of the mobile phone and handed his sleepy daughter to his wife. He quickly walked to the balcony with the mobile phone and asked, "Eve? It's so late, is there something urgent?"

"There is nothing too urgent, but I forgot to tell you this afternoon. I think you need to know the news."

"You said."

Eve sat in the back seat of the car and replied, "According to the original plan, we will be filming tonight. However, director James wants to modify the script, mainly to change my role, so I took the holiday."

Robert's nerves tightened, "You want to modify your part? How dare you tell me such a big thing? No, I have to communicate with the producer, and you are not allowed to reduce your part!"

"Relax, James takes good care of me. He wants to change the role of Claire to be more independent and strong, so that she will not be the one who is rescued. It is not sure whether it can be changed. He and the producer still have Art directors and these agreements will be decided tomorrow morning."

Eve could only tell her agent about her nervousness, and of course she also wanted to act in a new script.

"In other words, James decided to tailor a role for you?" Robert couldn't help but swear, "Damnit, girl, you are too lucky! You must seize the opportunity and act well!"

It’s fine to be the heroine in the first movie, and you can still enjoy the role tailored by the screenwriter and director. I’m afraid many famous actors can’t enjoy this kind of treatment.

"I know the importance of this matter. Sorry to disturb you so late, I think this news should let you know."

"Of course. It seems that you have performed very well in the film crew and have enough points. The company should pay more attention to you. I will communicate with New Line Films tomorrow to see if they agree with the new script. The filming is over. It will be very troublesome to revise the script after more than half of it, you'd better not express your opinion accordingly, just play whatever script is given to you, and leave the communication to me to complete."

Robert didn't want Eve to be involved in the vortex of the crew's power struggle. As an actor, he only needs to perform well. If there are too many other disputes, it is not a good thing.

In terms of protecting artists, he really has nothing to say, perhaps what he lacks is resources and connections.

For most actors, no matter how good an agent treats them, it is not as useful as getting an important role.

The departure of the previous contracted actors is almost all based on this reason.

On the contrary, Eve thinks that this kind of agent who thinks about actors is very good, at least he will not force himself to attend the X-Men producer's party or send him to some big shots in the circle in order to get the role.

It is true that skills are needed to get involved in the entertainment industry, but sometimes human touch is also very important. If she is too indifferent and cold, Eve dare not hand over her back to him.

……

The next morning.

When the crew began to set off to set up the set at the single-family villa a few kilometers away, several powerful figures in "Death Comes" stayed in the hotel, and they gathered in the room of the producer Craig .

Huang Yiyu took two sips of unsweetened black coffee, his whole face looked exhausted, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was still wearing yesterday's clothes, so he didn't have time to change.

His good friend Morgan next to him was exactly the same, leaning weakly on the sofa cushions, with a freshly released script beside him.

"Mr. Perry, Morgan and I stayed up all night to write the new script. You can read it first." Huang Yiyu put down the coffee cup and handed out the printed new script.

Craig Perry is a pragmatic person. He has been in charge of quite a few low-budget films, and most of the time he can make a profit. He has outstanding vision and ability.

After he took over the thin script, he opened it directly, and went down at a speed of ten lines at a glance.

Since most of the movie "Death is Coming" has been filmed, Huang Yiyu did not change the content that has been filmed, but only modified the remaining parts.

The story line remains roughly the same, and the hero Alex is still hiding in the cabin, thinking that he is the next target of Death.After avoiding many dangers, Alex suddenly found out that he had changed positions on the plane, and the next target was not himself, but Claire!

So Alex fled from the cabin, trying to find Claire to tell and remind him.

The original plot is that Alex arrives in time, grabs the high-voltage cable with his hand, saves Claire and makes himself unconscious. After waking up, he arrives in Paris with the second male Carter and Claire, thinking he has escaped death Celebrate the hunt, but everything is delusional. Carter died in order to save Alex, and the hunt is still going on!

Now the revised plot has become that Claire noticed something was wrong in time, and carefully dealt with all kinds of unexpected situations at home. When the hero Alex arrived, he happened to witness the scene where Claire escaped from death and had no chance to be a hero to save the beauty.

However, the follow-up plot remains unchanged, except that Claire and Alex are not in a relationship, they still go to Paris, and Carter still dies.

In fact, in Eve's original time and space, Claire survived the longest in the second part of "Death Comes", and the hero Alex who survived in the first part did not show up at all, because he was in the Abraham Mountains in New York. Killed by a brick while hiking.

Craig Perry looked at the script, and he said to himself: "Actually, the main modification is the night when Claire was attacked by the god of death, right? The rest of the place has not changed much. Then why don't we shoot both forms?" Come down, and then choose a suitable version for the release?"

Huang Yiyu, Morgan and others were a little surprised by this proposal, but after thinking about it carefully, they found it reasonable.

Eve's shooting efficiency is very fast. At most, one night scene will be added. The crew does not need to change any scenes. At most, it will only lose some props, glass, props and cars, so the budget will not be overrun at all.

If there are two modes, let the investor decide which ending to put in the post-editing, and the other one can be thrown in the DVD, and it can also be used as a promotional point for selling the disc!

What a genius idea!

"I think this way is good, I believe Eve's performance will not let us down."

"If the solo version doesn't work well, put it in the double version, just to be prepared."

"I agree with Mr. Perry."

Craig Perry put the script in his hands and raised his hand, "Then hurry up and hand over the new script to Eve and the scene, and re-arrange the shooting!"
