[US Entertainment] Superstar

The script synopsis on the second page is very concise, with only a few dozen words: Rita has a car accident, with $12 and a blue key in her bag, and Betty wants to help her remember who she really is.

To put it simply and concisely, Eve actually felt something in her heart, but she wanted to read more about the text of the script before making a judgment.

【Exterior scene, night, Los Angeles, Hollywood Hills, Mulholland Drive】

"It was dark all around, and I could hear a busy highway in the distance, the roar of the engine and the sound of the wheels turning. Then, there was a moving vehicle closer, its headlights lit up a gap. A oleander grove and a eucalyptus tree. The car turned, and the lights illuminated a sign that said Mulholland Road in an instant."

Eve looked down a little bit, and almost confirmed that this was the "Mulholland Drive" she had seen!

A woman named Rita was involved in a car accident on Mulholland Drive. After escaping from death, she completely lost her memory and stumbled to an apartment.

At the same time, Betty, a blond girl who aspires to be an actress, came to Los Angeles with her dream in mind, and lived in her aunt's apartment, but there was a strange woman named Rita in the room.

Betty decides to help Rita find her memory, which leads to the whole story.

Eve glanced at the director's name and it was David Lynch. She knew the plot behind "Mulholland Drive" very clearly, although it was based on reading many movie reviews and guesses.

Even in the script, the narrative order is not the conventional pattern of 123, but the non-linear method of 213 is chosen, which will make many people unable to understand it at all for the first time, and it is also the reason for the audience to relive it repeatedly.

In the first part of the movie, the audience followed the adventures of the two heroines, and only later did they realize that something was wrong. The first hour or so turned out to be just a dream. The feeling of opening the clouds and getting the truth and answers in the last half hour.

This film does not abide by the narrative structure and internal logic of traditional films at all. Whether it is in terms of photography, art, music, script, and actor performance, it all hints at the possibility of multi-layered dreams, which helped David win the Cannes Film Festival. The best director trophy and Oscar nomination for best director.

At the same time, this film also made Australian blonde beauty Naomi Watts popular, officially entering the ranks of Hollywood movie stars.She played the role of Betty in the movie, which fascinated countless fans, and was even considered by many film critics as one of the best performances in the new millennium!

Although Eve doesn't know why "Mulholland Drive" has become an ABC TV drama project, she wants to fight for it. Many actors will never be able to star in a movie that fans will remember. willing to miss.

So she stuffed the script directly into the Gucci handbag, and ran downstairs quickly, rushing to the sushi restaurant where she had made a reservation.

After hailing an orange taxi on the side of the road, Eve quickly took out her mobile phone to contact her manager Robert.

"Eve? Don't you have a date now?"

Robert was a little surprised when he received Eve's call. He had just talked to Gail Levin on the phone. How could someone who was supposed to eat Japanese food get in touch at this time.

Eve in the car asked succinctly: "I'm on my way, but now I have a small problem. There is a TV series called "Mulholland Drive" in the box you gave me before. Why did you suddenly think of giving it to me? What about my TV script?"

"Maybe it was misplaced." Robert himself couldn't remember clearly. According to common sense, it should be the script of the selected TV series.

"It's the TV series between David Lynch and ABC. Do you have any impressions now?"

After such a reminder, Robert immediately remembered: "I remembered that David wanted to make "Mulholland Drive" into a TV series like "Twin Peaks" and the small town suspense. This is the script he wrote for ABC. .”

"Then has the TV filming started yet? I think the script is very interesting."

"Probably not yet. David's new film "Mr. Stretter's Story" was only released last Friday, and the filming of the new TV series may start after the promotion of the film is completed. Do you want to compete for this role?"

In this road movie adapted from real people and real events, director David Lynch changed his previous weird and suspenseful style, but told a simple and moving story with simple and simple shooting techniques. The reputation of the population is very good.

"That's right, I'll try it if I can afford it."

Eve originally didn't want to be a model worker, but she finally came across such a favorite script, and she was really unwilling not to give it a try.

"Schedules are a big problem. You're going to reshoot "Missing Girl" immediately after the movie premieres, and then you go to Canada to make a cameo on "X-Men."

"These two projects will take less than ten days, right?" Eve was a little suspicious. The former only has the last scene left, while the latter is simply a sideshow or an easter egg. The shooting time is only a few minutes, and most of the time is estimated to be in the waiting.

At this time, Robert revealed a piece of news that made him very happy: "Gail told me just now that when you were auditioning, the director, producer, and the president of Sony Columbia and the director of the production department were watching silently on the monitor behind you." your performance."

"real or fake?"

"He revealed that Cameron likes your performance very much. Several producers think you are very good, but they still want to see your performance in "Death Comes" and "The Girl Who Moved Soul" before making a decision. Currently You have two competitors left, Charlize Theron and Kirsten Dunst."

Eve suddenly felt very honored. To be able to reach the final round with Oscar queens and Cannes queens who were young or growing up, it shows that her acting skills have indeed made great progress!

Robert on the other end of the phone warned: "If we really win the film contract of "Almost Famous", maybe there will be a conflict with "Mulholland Drive", and we will abandon the TV series at that time, do you understand?"

"Now we haven't been sure that we can get any of the projects. Why do you start worrying about the schedule? Don't worry about it until I sign one of the project contracts."

I haven't written my horoscope yet, where is the confidence that these two dramas will conflict?

Robert laughed: "I have a strong hunch that you will definitely get this role. I'm going to contact ABC TV to see if David's crew has started preparations."

"Thank you, this TV series means a lot to me, it would be great if I can get this role!" Eve seldom has such an eager mind.

"I get it, I can't guarantee that you'll be in Mulholland Drive, but I can guarantee that your picture will be in front of David Lynch."

Robert could hear the importance in Eve's tone, and she didn't even value "Almost Famous" so much.

He didn't know what charm of "Mulholland Drive" could attract Eve, and he really couldn't figure out his personal preferences.

After Eve hung up the phone, she found that her driver frequently looked up at the rearview mirror, hesitating to speak.

After a few seconds, the driver worked up his courage and asked, "Are you a star?"

"No, I'm an ordinary actor." Eve shook her head in denial, her first movie will premiere tomorrow, what kind of star is she.

The driver said enviously: "Ten years ago, I also wanted to be an actor, so I came to Los Angeles from Ohio, but I couldn't even act in a soap opera background board, and finally became a taxi driver. What movie have you acted in?" ?"

Hollywood doesn't know how many people's dreams of actors and stars have been buried. This driver is just one of millions of frustrated people.

"There is a movie coming out recently, you can take your friends or family to see it, it is definitely the most perfect Halloween movie, the name is "Death Comes"."

Eve turned into a little publicity expert, trying to attract as many audiences as possible to the movie theater. The better the box office data, the more competitive she will be on the "Almost Famous" crew.

"Sounds really Halloweeny, I'll definitely check it out at the cinema."

Unknowingly, the vehicle arrived at the destination. After the driver pulled over and parked the car, he found a pen and paper from the box in front of the passenger seat, and asked, "Can you sign me? Maybe when you become famous , this will be the talk of my life, and I will tell every passenger this story."

After such a long time, Eve has never met a fan who asked her to sign. She took the paper and pen, and wrote a few flying letters, which could hardly be recognized at a glance.

So the driver was also a little confused, "Can you tell me your name?"

"You'll know when I become famous." Eve handed over the 20-dollar bill, which was just enough for the bus fare and tip.

She didn't disclose her information, so as not to encounter some inexplicable things.

The driver thought about it for the same reason. The autograph and story would only be valuable after she became famous, or she might just go to the cinema to watch the film, and the final credits should also have her name.

After Eve got out of the car, the driver turned the book to the front. Every page was signed by an actor. He had collected dozens of signatures similar to Eve's, but none of them became famous. The probability of becoming famous was very high. too low.

Casting a wide net always catches fish, unless the luck has been so bad.

This high-end Japanese grocery store looked a little clean from the outside, and there were no people squatting or waiting on the side of the road. The waiter in a kimono took her to the reserved box.

Eve just put down the bag, and before she had time to look at the surrounding environment and decorations, the antique wooden door was pushed open.

Keanu with long black hair is wearing jeans and a suit jacket. He doesn't look like a man in his 30s. His body and face are well maintained, but he looks calmer and wiser than a boy in his 20s.
