Time passed by, and the month of June had arrived. The filming of "Titanic" was completed by the end of March, and post-production had already started.
Kevin negotiated with 20th Century fox, and there response was quite lukeworm on the matter of Eve taking "There's something wrong about Mary". Although the reason they gave was that Eve is too small for the role, but everyone knows its a lie. With the recent bad news surrounding the "Titanic", even Fox studio has started to create an invisible distance from Eve and Leonardo.
They don't know how much damage the shipwreck will cause, but they don't want to harm their other projects because of it. So, even if not openly, Eve has also been added to the boycott list of Fox.
In fact, even Liam was opposed to Eve taking the role. Although his reason was genuinely the first one.
Liam looked at his daughter: "Eve, can't you take another script. I think it's not good enough."
He knows he was being cheeky. But which father would want his daughter to play the role of being loved by so many men. It's too difficult for him.
Eve sighed and finally smiled. Although she knows that Liam was doing it to improve her mood, and it seems to really have helped. The negativity caused by after being rejected by Fox studio has indeed eased a lot. The saying it right, the world only needs useful people. The movement she faced even a little bit of trouble, she was immediately abandoned. Don't worry, she will repay all of it after "Titanic" releases.
As for the project with Indian Director, Kevin negotiated for quite a few days, and now she was also out of it. Although this time, it was Kevin who rejected the project first as her image didn't fit well with the character. But no matter what, it's a reality that she was out of two projects in just few days.
So, now she's again free, but this time because of not having any work. Although Kevin promised to help her find a good role soon, but she also understands that its just a promise to make her happy.
In the coffee shop, Eve sat opposite to Leonardo, enjoying her coffee quietly. After the shooting of "Titanic" completed last month, they only met today after a whole month.
Leonardo felt bored and slumped his head on the table.
Eve asked: "What's the matter with you. You look so annoyed today. Did you not sleep well last night or got dumped?"
Leonardo immediately retorted: "I am Leonardo DiCaprio, no one can dump. I am just bored today. There's nothing to do."
"Can you please keep your volume low, or else I am leaving." Eve twitched the corners of her mouth. Sometimes, she really wants to beat him so badly. He behaves like a total kid with mental age of less than 3. Does he know how difficult it's for them to meet in open. If someone here recognizes them, then they will definitely make headlines tomorrow.
Seeing the angry expressions on Eve's face, Leo hurriedly changed the subject: "When are you going to join the set."
Eve's bad mood worsened again and she replied coldly: "I am work free. Kevin is still searching for a good project." It's so annoying. Even this fool has a movie to shoot, but she's like this.
The only work she has is to shoot cover photos for the Italian Vogue. She initially thought that she would get the chance of starting with American Vogue, but it seems she was overestimating herself and "Titanic's" notoriety too much. In addition to films, even big magezines doesn't want to touch the hot potato related to Titanic. Big Magezines indeed want sales, but only positive ones.
The big names in the fashion industry Karl Lagerfeld and Anna Wintour have not opened the door of fashion world for her yet. Although she has no shortage of wealth, but the role of magezine covers and advertisements is much more than that. A top actress must have 2-3 signed luxury brands.
Leonardo nodded in understanding. In fact, it's not like there's no work, but the fact is that it's Eve who has set her standards so high. He introduced her to so many projects, but she rejected them all without looking. Maybe that's the previlage of being Kevin Huvane's special client.
His own situation is completely opposite. After filming "Titanic", his agent took a small to medium sized budget film for him. "Man in an Iron Mask" is a half literary and half commercial film. But the only downside is that it's going to be filmed in France, and he has to go to Paris for whole three months.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and said: "Eve, why don't you come with me if you are free at the time. We can even enjoy vacations in Paris together in this way."
Eve was about to reject immediately, but then she was tempted when thinking about vacations in Paris. Anyway, she would be free those days. She replied:
"I can't promise, but if I am free then I would visit you for sure."
