Chapter 62: Roxette
"Hey, Penny, how are you doing?" After chatting with Jeffrey and James for a while, Eric began to socialize among other guests.
Penny Marshall gestured to the two guests next to him. The other person turned and left with a very eye-catching look: "It's still the same, I received a lot of scripts, but I was not satisfied, so I decided to take a break. I don't like it. You are shooting a second movie so quickly."
Eric smiled and said: "I am also forced to do so. So many people are waiting to see my jokes. Of course, I have to give them some thoughts. "The return to the age of seventeen" has already reached $70 million at the box office. It’s definitely a matter of time. In the next year, two box-office movies will be produced. As a female director, your record is hard to break in a short time.”
Penny Marshall is very useful for Eric's compliment, but still said: "That can't compare with you, "Little Ghosts" has received more than 24 million box office in the last week."
"Well, you don't want to compliment each other again. I hear a little nausea." James Brooks suddenly inserted: "Eric, I have something to discuss with Penny..."
"Of course no problem," Eric nodded and turned to walk to other people.
At the end of the reception, Eric stopped Kapoor who wanted to leave: "Kapoor, come with me, there is something to discuss with you."
Kapoor nodded and followed Eric to the second floor study. The study looked a bit scattered, occupying a wall of the board, the original newspaper clippings have been cleaned up, at this time densely covered with Eric's hand-painted "Feng Yue Qiaojia" lens. By the window, the piano that was once returned was reclaimed by Eric.
Kapoor is obviously amazed by the strange style of the room. The rest of the villa is neat and tidy. People who suddenly come here will have a feeling of incompatibility.
Eric put a few folders on the desk into the bookshelf and explained: "This is the place I created, the cleaners are not allowed to come in, so there is some chaos."
"Drew is not living here?"
Eric pulled out a chair and handed it to Kapoor: "There is no such thing as a gimmick, so I organize it myself occasionally."
"You can't be too fond of her." Kapoor smiled and suggested.
Eric shrugged and didn't answer, stuffed a box of tape into the recorder and pressed the play button: "Kapoor, let's listen to this first."
Kapoor knew that Eric would not be targeted and listened to Eric.
The rhythm of the accompaniment sounded, and soon the song of great appeal came out.
*It.must.have.been.love,
*but.it‘s.over.now.
*Lay.a.whisper.on.my.pillow,
*leave.the.winter.on.the.ground.
*I.wake.up.lonely,the‘s.air.of.silence
*...
After a few minutes, the song was quickly played, and Eric asked: "Kapoor, what do you think?"
Kapoor tells the truth: "I don't know too much about this. The song is very powerful, and the voice of the female singer is extremely explosive. Eric, what do we listen to?"
"I intend to use this song as an episode of "Wind Beauty". But this is not the main thing, Kapoor, have you thought about the future of UTA?"
Kapoor nodded. "Of course I thought, we have signed Al Pacino. If your "Wind Beauty" is successful, plus Julia Roberts, as long as there are two superstars Our brokerage firm will be able to gain a foothold in the industry. UTA is still small, and our pace can't be too urgent."
Eric said: "Don't you think about developing to other aspects?"
"You mean..." Kapoor glanced at the recorder: "Singer?"
Eric nodded. "The actors in the film and television circles have basically been divided up by big and small brokerage companies. We want to grow in this area, and we can only slowly dig and cultivate." The music industry is still a prostitute, and even the giants of CAA don't pay much attention to this business now. This is a good opportunity for us to take a different approach."
In the 1990s, the golden age of the recording industry, Eric was able to find the famous "It.must.have.been.love" in the movie after he made preparations for the "Fengyue Beauty" episode. The Roxset combination has not yet left Sweden.
The previous Rockset combination has been active for more than a decade. After debuting in North America, the first single released by this group won the championship of 24 national music singles in a swept position. How can this potential stock Eric be let go.
"Kappl, the song we just heard, the singer is the Swedish Rocket combination, so a song that is enough to hit the top of the bulletin board is not heard by many people, so this is us. An opportunity, do you understand?"
Kapoor said: "It seems that I have to run Sweden for myself."
"Of course, the sooner the better, the song I can find, and other record companies will soon notice that after all, their vision in this area is more professional than me, leaving little time for us."
"Eric, are you going to set up a record company?"
Eric shook his head: "It's still too early to set up a record company. My current focus is still on the film. After winning the contract with Roxtec, the specific mode of operation still needs to be explored by yourself."
Kapoor nodded and understood that the two had discussed some details before the other party got up and said goodbye.
After sending Kapoor, Michael Klaus quickly got together: "Eric has been around for so long, "Resident Evil" has not been finished yet, you are not always a fast gunner?"
The last vocabulary was just heard by a female waiter who was invited. The girl glanced down at Eric's underneath. She laughed and didn't dare to laugh. The little face was slightly distorted, and she walked around the kitchen with a tray.
Eric looked depressed: "Michael, you can't pay attention when you talk. If the girl just revealed the words you said inadvertently, I don't know how the gossip tabloids will arrange me."
Michael Klaus grinned in dissatisfaction and was still persevering to ask Resident Evil.
"Okay, take it." Eric found the manuscript and handed it to Michael: "The contract is the same as before. You just got it and sent it to me to sign the contract."
As he spoke, Drew suddenly came out and saw the manuscript that Michael was reading, screaming and rushing over: "Hey, Eric, I haven't finished reading yet."
Michael stretched out his arm and pushed the hand to cut the watermelon. He blocked the small claws that the **** had stretched out, stuffed the manuscript into the bag, ignored Drew’s protest, and said, “Eric, then I will go first. ,Goodbye."
After that, Michael picked up his legs and left, as if there was a little magic star behind him.
"Okay, don't make noise." Eric tapped on Drew's head: "I haven't settled with you for skipping classes, but I secretly deleted the phone message that the principal gave me."
Drew instantly lost his momentum and became a well-behaved little girl with his hands on his back, but his eyes were still the same: "I'm sorry, Eric, I don't dare any more."
Eric’s eyes are dignified: “Drew, are you touching those things again?”
Drew quickly shook his head: "No, really, I just took a few classmates to the Rose Bowl to watch the game. Eric, I swore that I would never touch those things."
With a sigh of relief, Eric shook his head in his arms and hugged it. When he remembered Drew’s words, he suddenly couldn’t help but smile and slap a little on the little buttocks of the skull: “No wonder your headmaster called me. You are not mad at yourself, and you have taught the prostitutes in your school."
Drew slammed and arched in Eric's arms and raised his face: "Eric, my female classmates are very beautiful. If I want to introduce you to you, they are still in the middle." Female, I have specially checked it."
"amount……"
Some pictures appeared in Eric’s mind, and the wind was in a mess: “It’s too noisy, go to sleep, don’t go out before school.”
"Oh, really overbearing, be careful, I will tell you to ban girls."
