Chapter 61: get together
"Is the Langkel family not coming?" In the corner of the party, Jeffrey asked a glass of red wine, seemingly casual.
This is the second day of returning to Los Angeles. In order to thank everyone for their help in the past six months, Eric deliberately held a private party in the Beverly Hills mansion. In the past six months, James Brooks has had an intersection with himself. , Penny Marshall, Jeffrey Hansen, Michael Kraus, Edward Lewis, and others, as well as some actors and friends who met during the filming of "Returning to the Age of Seventeen" and "The Little Devil". Rick has issued an invitation.
Coupled with the partners brought by the guests, Lin Lin has a total of nearly forty or fifty people. Fortunately, Eric has changed his residence, and there is no more embarrassing situation when the party is first opened.
When he heard Jeffrey's words, Eric shook his head indifferently: "I personally called and invited, and Richardson refused."
Jeffrey said with no worries: "I heard that Stewart Longkel has already received a film of three movies under the arrangement of CAA, and the schedule is directly discharged to the end of next year. Eric, how are you going to plan? of?"
Eric advised: "Don't worry, Jeffrey, CAA wants to use the sequel to "The Little Ghosts" to pinch us, it is simply delusional. You will understand after the movie that Stoudemire took the film."
In memory, after the success of the previous generation of "Little Ghosts", Macquarie Calkin also received a lot of films, but the box office results have been flat, coupled with the high salary caused by its fame, some producers even Lost money.
"You mean, Stewart's other films won't be too good?" Jeffrey also considered this.
Eric nodded. "Everyone knows that "Little Ghosts" is an odd number. I don't deny this myself. Stoudemire is only a child after all, and his reputation is so big that the box office appeal is not possible with adult superstars. By the end of next year, in order to maintain the reputation of Stoudemire, even if the CAA tears his face, the Langkel couple will choose to continue to cooperate with us. The couple..."
Eric said that he had stopped his words, his eyes were disappointed, and when he called the Langkel family, Charlie Longcker was very cold and even arrogant.
Eric can also figure out some of Charlieson's mentality. Perhaps the other side thinks that if it is not his son, there will be no success for "The Little Devil".
Some people always think that they are too important.
"But what if Stewart filmed the box office again?" Jeffrey asked.
"And don't say that this possibility is very small, even if it really happens, then it will be negotiated. Jeffrey, after the release of "Wind Beauty", you will understand, I am not relying on a " The Little Ghosts are alive and alive."
As he said, Yu Guangyi saw a red dress and Drew took a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray. Eric immediately glanced at him. Drew found that his behavior was caught by Eric, and quickly put the glass back, spit out his tongue and sneaked into a group of young people.
Jeffrey noticed Eric’s move and said: “You are very kind to her. Although you are only 18 years old, I still feel that you are waiting for Drew to be your own daughter. If you have children in the future, you Definitely a pretty competent father."
"Now that these are still too far away, I am only 18 years old, I can't rush to get married and have children."
As he spoke, James Brooks and other guests greeted him and came to the two.
"James, thank you for that." Eric raised the glass to James.
James smiled. "Small things. I saw the photo reprinted in the Los Angeles Times a few days ago. The two of you look really good."
Speaking of this, Jeffrey also laughed: "Eric, you are sure that the photo is not specially made by you. I can hardly believe that it is a captured work by an amateur photographer?"
"But the truth is that I also spent $1,000 on the film and even inspired it to create a new script."
James suddenly became interested: "Eric, if it is convenient, can you disclose the content?"
“Of course, no problem,” Eric said. “The story unfolds between a single father and a female journalist who is already engaged...”
Eric spent a few minutes talking about the outline of "Sleepless in Seattle".
"Sounds, the inspiration for this script is also from "Jin Yumeng."" James expressed his opinion.
Eric did not deny: "In the script setting, the heroine likes the movie "Jin Yu Meng". If I start shooting in the future, I even intend to pay tribute to the theme song of "Jin Yu Meng"."
When James thought that Eric’s script was amazing, he bought it and made it even with the Firefly Film Company. Eric just owed him a favor. If he spoke, Eric’s estimate is not Will refuse. But after listening to Eric, James gave up the plan.
Eric didn't talk much about the script details of "Sleepless in Seattle", so James regarded it as an ordinary romantic love story.
Although the romantic film is a big part of the Hollywood film, but the box office is not good. The type of movies that Hollywood sells in this era is more inclined to action movies or sci-fi films, and even the thriller dramas are more likely to get a good box office than romantic love movies.
After the listener’s lack of interest in the content of the script, Eric breathed a sigh of relief. If James wants this script, he really doesn't know how to refuse. "Seattle Night Sleepless" is also a movie that broke the box office at the box office. It is really reluctant to owe it to James.
The topic of several people quickly turned to other aspects, "Seattle Night Sleep" was temporarily put behind, until later, after the film was released, it got the total box office of more than 200 million US dollars worldwide, James Brooks screamed. regret.
"Eric, I heard that your "Fengyue Beauty" is going to be released in the festive season. I think it is still cautious. After the New Year holiday, it will take only five weeks for the Valentine's Day, plus the film's review. Rating, effective production time is no more than four weeks, this is a very risky thing."
Eric from the channel: "Actually, the film has already started preparations two weeks ago. Now it's more than a week since I left the film. It's enough for me to consider all the details completely, so the production time around me is more than enough. "Feng Yue Qiao Ren" The main scenes are not many and it is easy to shoot."
Under the various tempers of the previous "Fengyue Beauty", it took only 12 weeks, and during the period, it also experienced the replacement of the production company, the style of the script and other events.
Normal filming, the accumulated film material will last for dozens of hours, and the production of film material is even more than one or two hundred hours. It is the shooting of these materials that consumes a lot of time.
Eric, who already has a complete film in his mind, certainly won't waste so much time. If it weren't for the actor, he had to go through a lot of shooting to get himself into the story. Eric can even take direct shots of those shots in memory.
Even so, as long as the actor can play the role, Eric is confident that the film material will be compressed to within ten hours, so that the surrounding shooting and post-production time is more than enough.
