[US Entertainment] Superstar

It is a happy thing for a movie to be released, but it is very tiring for actors and directors.

It was already eleven o'clock in the evening when Eve returned home after finishing all the work. Apart from homeless people, the street was full of drunken men and women. The neighborhood was quiet, except for the occasional dog barking.

The more tired you are, the easier it is for the god of death to take advantage of you. She pulled herself together and began to remove makeup and take a shower. She was very cautious at first, but now she was even more trembling after watching the movie, for fear that she would be like Todd in the movie .

Hot water pours out of the shower head, Eve's hair is quickly pressed together, tonight is her shining moment, the red carpet murders the camera rolls of reporters, audiences and passers-by, and the director comes to the film screening According to the investigation, the audience response of the film is very good, and everything is developing in a good direction.

She is used to encountering setbacks and failures. The feedback in front of her made her a little confused, worried that it was just a mirror in the water, worried that everything would be a dream when she woke up, and she was still the little actor who starred in the Qing palace drama.

Success often belongs to others, and Eve is always full of doubts when lucky things happen to her.

But the temperature of the hot water was clearly so real, she quietly squeezed her left hand, the pain went straight to her brain, this was not a dream at all!

When plugging in the hair dryer, Eve carefully wiped off the water droplets on her palms, and her safety awareness can basically reach 100 points.The hot wind blows the hair continuously, and the drowsiness disappears little by little.

She was sitting in front of the computer in a bathrobe, searched for the name of the movie on Yahoo, and saw her own photo by accident!

A reporter from Yahoo even went to the premiere, and even took many photos, among which the group of photos of himself in a red dress had more than 5 hits.

In 1999, the popularity of the Internet was not very high, and the release time was still late at night. Eve and "Reaper" were not big productions, and the number of hits at the moment was not flooded, and they were the most authentic.

Many netizens have commented on her picture, and everyone is surprised why this actress has never been seen before!

"God, that last picture of her looking back literally got me shot by Cupid, it's so beautiful!"

"I like this girl, she looks so beautiful."

"Is this beauty a movie actress?"

"For her, I decided to see this movie on Halloween."

"What other movies has she made? Tomorrow, go to MasterCard to rent the DVDs of the movies she starred in."

"I feel like I'm in love, she looks like Venus."

"Isn't she a model? I like girls like this!"

"Red is so suitable for her! This movie actually has to drive more than ten miles in our city, and I will go to see it with friends tomorrow. This kind of beauty will definitely die a miserable death in a horror movie. I hope it doesn't make me too sad. "

Eve was very happy to read the comments of these netizens in the middle of the night. If she could gradually pay attention to the movie from her appearance, she would be considered a success.

Since the midnight show is being released, film critics will not stay up until midnight to post their reviews on the Internet, so it is very difficult to look at box office data or audience reputation.

At this moment, she suddenly missed the world before time travel. She could see box office data every moment. Although she might be addicted to refreshing box office data and tracking data changes, at least she would not be as worried as she is now.

……

The breeze opened the gaps in the curtains, and the bright Californian sunlight shone on Eve's bed through the gaps. She tossed and turned last night, and now she couldn't wake up at all.

Obviously the phone rang several times on the sofa, but she didn't even move a finger to petition, and her ears blocked all the noise, her body was curled up like a shrimp, and her posture was really unattractive.

"bang bang bang"

The hasty knock on the door woke Eve up from her sleep. She turned over and continued to sleep with her back to the door.

"Miss Campbell, are you in there?"

Mandy waited anxiously at the door. No one answered the phone, and the knock on the door didn't ring. She didn't know where she had gone.

Just when she was helpless and was about to report the incident to her agent, Eve opened the door wearing a loose nightgown, "I'm sleeping, what's wrong?"

After putting Mandy in, Eve fell directly on the bed from the edge of the bed, pulled up the quilt to cover her head, and wanted to sleep for a while.

Mandy has a heavy responsibility, and if it is not important, she will not disturb Eve's sleep at all. She took a deep breath, knowing that the assistant is sometimes a villain, so she tore off Eve's face, "Miss Campbell, Mr. Robert successfully made an appointment to executives in ABC television production.”

No matter what she said, Eve was unmoved in the slightest, lying on the bed extremely tired.

Mandy approached Eve's ear, and suddenly shouted at a very high volume: "If you don't get up again, the role of Mulholland Drive will be taken away by someone else!"

"Who!"

Eve was completely sleepy, and immediately got up from the bed, grabbed Mandy's shoulders, and asked directly, "Who?"

"Hurry up and wash up. We have to finish Burbank immediately. Robert is waiting for us at the ABC TV entertainment headquarters. We will meet at 11 o'clock."

"What time is it right now?"

"It's still a quarter of an hour to ten o'clock."

Eve hurried to the bathroom. It would take more than 20 minutes from downtown Los Angeles to Burbank if the roads were clear, but it would almost double the time if there was a traffic jam.

There wasn't much time left for her. After taking care of her personal hygiene quickly, Eve quickly changed into jeans and a T-shirt, and dressed herself like a new actor who was curious about Hollywood. "The plot is combined.

Mandy threw a vitamin effervescent tablet into the water glass, handed it to Eve and said, "Robert didn't know that ABC would contact him suddenly, it seems that they just saw your red carpet photos yesterday and thought you were the same as the one in the TV series." Betty is very similar, so give us a chance, because today director David Lynch will go to ABC TV for final negotiations."

"It seems that I should often walk the red carpet, and it actually brought me a job opportunity." After combing her hair, Eve took the water glass and drank half of it in one gulp.

She tidied up very quickly. The base makeup, lipstick, eye shadow, and blush were done quickly. It wasn't even 10 o'clock when she went downstairs.

Sitting in the driving position, Mandy knew the location of the ABC TV station without navigation, and drove forward at a normal speed without stepping on the accelerator.

After Eve sat in the co-pilot's seat, she used the vanity mirror to carefully check the details of her facial makeup. There was almost nothing that needed to be repaired.

After she put the mirror back into Chanel's small satchel, her gaze was attracted by the stack of newspapers in front of her: "Are these all today's newspapers?"

"Yes, I bought it at the newsstand when I was out. I don't know if there are any reports about the movie." Mandy was busy driving and didn't have time to read the newspaper. She planned to discuss business with Eve and others at ABC. I searched for the news in the newspapers outside by myself, and handed it to Eve after summarizing.

Just a little bored in the car, Eve took the stack of newspapers and unfolded them in front of her, searching them one by one.

As the newspaper with the largest circulation in the western United States, the "Los Angeles Times" must be the target of the publishing company's public relations, and their reporters attended the premiere last night.

This media has the closest relationship with Hollywood and is also the most tolerant media.

Now their reporter Arthur Schulch gave "Death Comes" a high score of 70, and strongly recommended: "This is a movie that is both interesting and tense. The portrayal is not too tragic, but its success lies in opening up a new mode of horror film shooting: using the invisible, intangible, indescribable god of death or fate to determine the death of the protagonists."

"There is almost no depth in the plot. The degree of horror comes from the heart of every audience. The sensory stimulation is very strong. The two leading actors have dedicated their acting skills above the standard. When I walked out of the theater, I was worried that the billboards in the theater would not It will suddenly fall down, and when driving, I worry about the car malfunctioning, this is a horror movie that people will always remember after watching!"

As this reporter said, the plot of "Death Comes" is actually very weak, with so many loopholes that it can be used as a sieve. If you look at it with a sophisticated and rigorous attitude, there are loopholes everywhere.But the audience is clearly going to be entertained, not to play a game of finding fault.

As the Chicago Sun-Times puts it, "Director Huang Yiyu questions fate and prophecy, and in a carnage-like scene, the plot doesn't make sense but is suspenseful. Which characters will die, and in what ways? Any way of dying will keep viewers waiting until the last second."

Roger Ebert, the ace film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times, didn't even get to play, and another film critic directly gave a 55-point evaluation, which almost reached the passing line for him.

The "Hollywood Reporter" gave a slightly better evaluation, "We can't deceive the god of death, but movies can deceive the audience. The best choice for this year's Halloween movie-"Death is Coming"!"

The "San Francisco Examiner" gave a good review, but only scored 60 points, which made Eve a little puzzled, "This is a film that the audience can watch repeatedly. Safe place, people can die from various accidents."

The other media were also mixed, with scores hovering between 30-76. The media average score of "Reaper" miraculously came close to the passing line, with a score of 58!

Among the several horror thrillers aimed at Halloween, only its media score is close to the passing line, and the rest of the films did not even reach 50 points.

What surprised Eve the most was that "Death Comes" performed fairly well on Rotten Tomatoes. Although the tomato representing the media data was rotten, the popcorn bucket representing the audience's evaluation stood tall and remained at 80% above!

After the midnight show, the emaScore also came to the miraculous B+, which is basically the highest level that horror films can achieve. Many classic horror thrillers are scored by this audience.

"Death is Coming" once again proved that the reputation of film critics is not directly proportional to the evaluation of audiences. Deadline urgently raised its box office forecast for the first weekend to 2500 million US dollars, thinking that it will reach the cost line in the first weekend!
