Chapter 64: Don't be caught
Most men will like sports cars, Eric is no exception, but he only showed up on the first day of Julia and Al training, tried a hand on the training ground, and then did not appear because of busy.
Halfway up the Beverly Hills, in a temporarily rented villa, Eric and Jeffrey are directing the staff to arrange the scene, which will be the starting point of "Fengyue Beauty".
Al Pacino is the standard methodist actor, and according to the rumors that the previous Julia filming was always too sloppy and the actor sparked, she should also be a methodist.
This performance-style actor is used to integrating characters into themselves and then showing them. If the shooting sequence is upside down, it will definitely affect the performance. In order to perfectly show the personality changes of the two protagonists in the movie, Eric decided to shoot in chronological order.
In the original film, Edward first attended the party at the private lawyer Philippe Starkey. This conversation introduced the identity and character of the leading actor through Edward's conversation with several characters.
Eric and Jeffrey discussed it and decided to shoot the show first, and at the same time, they could really start a party as the start-up banquet for "Fengyue Beauty". Even the extras did not intend to ask, and most of them were played by the crew and their families. There aren't many shots in this scene, so Eric is not worried about any mistakes.
"I went to Century City yesterday. Fox has doubts about the release of our film during the Lovers Day. I talked with Calta Hen for an hour before the other party promised to ensure that the film will not be postponed. Two weeks before the Valentine's Day, the propaganda campaign was launched. Eric, for two weeks, certainly won't achieve the best publicity effect. Lianmei invited Richard Gere to play the "Weilong Killing". Just dare to advance to the Easter holiday in March."
Eric is writing a note on the folder with a pencil. When he hears Jeffrey’s words, he has a mind and said: “Do not worry, Jeffrey, now the entire American media is spontaneously doing this for my movie. Propaganda. It can be said that the entire United States, few do not know "Wind Beauty". And, by the time there should be another blockbuster."
Jeffrey is curious: "What?"
Eric’s mouth is faintly confident: “Do you count, according to the current box office trend of “The Little Devil”, how many box office will it reach?
Jeffrey quickly figured out that at that time, "Little Ghosts" should have been released for about 12 weeks, and the box office is likely to reach 200 million US dollars.
Seeing Jeffrey's feeling of relaxation, Eric said: "Do you understand?"
Jeffrey nodded. "At that time, the "Little Ghosts" box office is likely to exceed 200 million. North America has not had a movie box office for more than 200 million dollars for three consecutive years. Some time ago, "variety" magazine appeared An article on the decline of the local market in North America. Once the "Little Ghosts" broke $200 million, the media will definitely be warm again."
"So, as long as the quality of my film itself is no problem, I don't have to worry about the box office losing because of the propaganda. But it is Lianmei, and carefully put the "Weilong Killing" on "Feng Yue Qiao Ren" After one month, I couldn’t borrow much of the "Wind and Beauty"."
Eric is not too concerned about the "Weilong Killing" that is completely unimpressed in memory.
Richard Gere missed the opportunity to turn over of "Wind Beauty" and it is difficult to rise again in the future. After all, his acting is not too good. Until Eric passed, this one did not get one. Oscar nomination.
"Right, Eric, when I went to Fox headquarters yesterday, Karta also mentioned the adaptation of the novel "The Jurassic Park". And the "Resident Evil" you just released, Fox One Very interested, but this topic has been around me."
"Resident Evil", under the efforts of Michael Kraus, also went on the market a few days ago. This novel has set off some controversy as soon as it appeared. Most newspapers are critical of the criticism of this novel. Some book reviewers suspect that Resident Evil may be created by Eric to find gunmen. After all, the style difference between the two novels is too great.
Eric did not respond to these doubts. He could think of a normal mind. With his current fame and wealth, can he use a gunman for a few royalties?
It was Michael Klaus who called the book "Resident Evil" and said that the book sold well. Readers are interested in this novel zombie science fiction novel. Moreover, many readers have written to Michael and Eric, hoping that Resident Evil can be adapted into a movie.
"Jeffrey, someone will contact the novel to adapt the movie in the future, and directly deduct it. I will definitely not let out these two novels unless the other party can offer a cooperation plan that will satisfy me."
Jeffrey nodded and suddenly remembered one thing and smiled: "The Golden Globe is really giving us face. "Little Ghosts" can nominate the best film in music comedy."
Eric also laughed: "Whether it is the Golden Globe or the Oscar, it will bow to the box office, wait and see, even if the Oscar Organizing Committee is reluctant, it must be pinched to the "Little Ghosts" nominations ""
Jeffrey tried to test: "You have made the shooting plan so compact, and I am afraid that we will not have time to participate in the Golden Globe Dinner."
"Do not worry," Eric packed up the folder and put the pencil on his ear. "The Golden Globe gives us face. Even if we pause the filming, we will definitely attend. If we are all in Los Angeles, Because I refused to attend the dinner because of filming, I might be hated if I didn’t know it."
Recalling the later generations, poor little Li has been empty-handed for many consecutive Oscar nominations, and Eric will not make a mistake in this kind of thing.
Although many people say that Leonardo can't get the best actor, because he is not strong enough, he always plays all his roles. He did not accept the Titanic and did not accept the nomination. Relationship, but since that view has spread to the public, it will certainly not be a hole in the wind.
The two chatted and arranged the shooting venue. They had lunch together at noon. Eric looked at the watch and said to Jeffrey: "Jeffrey, let's arrange the afternoon, I have something to leave. ""
Jeffrey was very curious, and at this time, there was something that could make Eric's preparations for the film not to be ignored.
Eric has a helpless tone: "Drew started school this afternoon, I want to send her to school. Shantou was in trouble at school last time. The principal personally called me."
Jeffrey snorted for a moment, shaking his head and laughing: "Do you really raise the girl as a daughter?"
Eric spread his hand: "I am spending money and playing tricks. The contract signed with Adico is almost equal to getting Dru's custody. I don't care who she is. I am myself. I feel that I am somewhat self-sufficient."
"I saw someone in a newspaper praising you, saying that you let Drew get out of the control of her greedy mother and send her to the boarding school, which is a love for Drew."
Eric didn't mean to hide it. He picked up the jacket on the back of the chair and put it on. He said, "That is the gun that I paid for, and I always want people to understand that my good intentions are not saved. Some guys with ulterior motives always want to take the trouble of Drew's underage."
Jeffrey, who was drinking coffee, listened to this and couldn’t help but squirt out: "You are really..."
......
Drew’s principal at the girls’ school is a white woman in her fifties who looks kind and looks amiable. Eric sat alone across the principal and listened to each other's embarrassment: "Mr. Williams, we don't want to give up any children in our hearts. It's just that Miss Barrymore is too naughty. The girls in the school are all The ladies of the rich families are very quiet and charming. If their family members know that their daughters have learned to skip classes, they will certainly question the educational environment of our school. And we cannot take coercive measures to stop Miss Barrymore. So once this happened again, we had to ask Miss Barrymore to transfer..."
"Ms. Gurion, I have warned Drew."
"That's good," Gu Lian nodded, and said for a long time before he let Eric.
Out of the office, Eric looked at Drew, who had already put on a beautiful school uniform, and said, "Okay, I have already learned the lesson for you. You don't want to let me lose my face for the second time?"
The girl smiled and held Eric's arm: "Do not worry, it will never be."
"The answer is really not sincere," Eric grinned, but there was some helplessness. The **** was simply not immersed in water and fire, even if he held it down and squinted his eyes and enjoyed it.
Opening the door, Eric sighed and looked around. There was no one around him. He whispered: "Don't get into trouble again. I will be very busy recently. If you want to skip classes, don't be caught." ”
"Oh... I know Eric you are the best for me." Drew quickly picked up his foot and kissed Eric's cheek.
Eric smiled and slammed on Dru's head, turned to the car, waved his hand, and drove away in Drew's reluctant eyes.
