Chapter 93: Things are handed over to you.
"In just four days, have you written the script out?" Jeffrey looked up at the top of "Scented Woman" and asked Eric in surprise.
"It’s just the first draft. When you shoot, you will definitely make a lot of changes according to the specific situation." Eric replied, stepping back a few steps comfortably on the sofa and asking: "I faxed you before. The script outline, let you invite Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise, have you responded?"
Jeffrey flipped through the work record and said: "All responded. It was Sean’s invitation to Tom Hanks, but Hanks wanted to play Andy’s role. He thought the character was also It is also evil, plasticity is very strong, there is more space for acting. Tom Cruise also expressed strong interest in this script, but hopes to modify Andy's women's plot, he does not want to be in the eyes of fans The image is damaged."
The next film that Eric is preparing to shoot is the pinnacle of the previous Galaxy image - the dark battle.
When writing the script, Eric directly used the English names of Hua Tsai and Qing Yun to name the two male protagonists.
If you want to choose two actors in Hollywood to replace Huachai and Qingyun, is there more suitable than Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks? The two are an idol, a powerful, and similar to the previous generation.
Of course, Hanks is still a little handsome, but there is only one lost, and it will soon be cruel. If Hanks is to replace the role of Hua Tsai, with the current image, can the bus girl love you at first sight, do you want to be so self-aware!
"Jeffrey, they shouldn't know each other's invitations. You will tell them about it and see if you can talk about it for a while."
"Well, I will contact them when I wait." Jeffrey replied: "And, Herbert Rose promised the firefly to invest in the "Steel Magnolia", but Kapoor insisted on Julia's pay. 5 million US dollars, if so, the film production cost of at least 13 million. Herbert Rose only pulled 4 million investment before, fireflies need to add 9 million, do you communicate with Kapoor, see if you can I will lower Julia’s film pay. After all, this is a group play. Julia’s drama is not much. I think it’s up to 3 million. If it is high, it will be worth more than it is.”
"I will call Kapoor," Eric nodded. "Yes, you copy a copy of "Scent of the Woman" and hand it over to Al, let him start preparing. In addition, the bottom In that script, the scripts were sent to Weiss Craven, William Fredkin and Jonathan Demi to see if they intended to direct the work."
After Jeffrey wrote down, he took a look at the last script: "The Uninvited Guest?"
Eric nodded, and the film, perhaps another translation, is more well known: "The Islet Cry." However, Eric feels that the translation into "Uninvited Guest" is more appropriate. The original English name of the movie is "The-Others".
As for the three favorite directors he said, Wes Craven is the famous director of the "Ghost Street" series, and later the "Screaming" series.
William Fredkin directed the "Exorcist" in 1973. This horror film was once called the Hollywood's first horror film. Of course, this title was faltering after the rise of Japanese horror movies in Hollywood. The last Jonathan Demi is still just a small street director, but in parallel time and space, the other party will launch "The Silent Lamb" two years later and become a hit. The reason why Jonathan Demi, who is still unknown after the two famous masters, is for Vicky.
Eric does not doubt that the big reversal horror film "The Sound of the Isles" will not be recognized by the two former horror masters who have been famous for many years, but they are not sure whether the other party will accept Virginia. Heroine. At this point, Eric does not intend to give in. In this respect, Jonathan Demi has no room for bargaining with Eric.
"Is it an invitation, or one by one?" Jeffrey asked again.
"At the same time, remember to show that the heroine has been fixed, there is no room for negotiation."
Jeffrey showed a sly smile: "Eric, which girl are you looking at?"
"Viconia Madsen."
Jeffrey remembered the "Fengyue" celebration feast and followed Eric to leave the big-bodied actress.
"Eric, I have to remind you," Jeffrey rarely took out the elders' exhortation of the back: "Investing in movies is a matter of intimacy and prudence. You can't be stunned one night. Love, I promised to give the other a heroine, it is not worth it, even if you leave a huge check on the other side, you can't make a promise easily. Because once the movie fails because of the heroine, you have to bear millions. Even a tens of millions of dollars in losses, so a lot of money, even the most advanced should call the girl, enough to find thousands."
Eric never angered or ignored those who pleaded with goodwill, patiently listened to Jeffrey’s advice and explained: “Do not worry, Jeffrey, I am very measured in this respect. I have let Kapoor signed Virginia. If she didn't have this potential, I wouldn't do it. You and Kapoor didn't bother to look at Julia, how is it now?"
"You know what you are doing."
"Then, the matter here will be handed over to you, Jeffrey." Eric stood up: "I told you about Amy’s search for me on the phone before. I just talked about Mr. Barry Diller today. talk."
"You seem to have gotten used to this sentence, 'Things are handed over to you'. I am thinking about applying for a raise?" Jeffrey said jokingly. In fact, he enjoyed the busy and fulfilling life now, compared to the first time. The decadence of the meeting, Jeffrey now looks a lot younger, the whole person is full of light and full of energy.
Eric knows that Jeffrey is joking. The current position of the opponent is the president of Firefly, plus the dividends paid by Eric Films. Although he has not yet acquired the shares of Firefly, the income is definitely a pyramid in Hollywood. Top level: "If you insist, add one dollar."
Joke a few words, Jeffrey got up and sent Eric out of the door, swearing: "Don't fall out with Fox, try to be euphemistic."
Eric shrugged: "It involves tens of millions of dollars in profits, and euphemism is useless. Who made Fox not pay attention to the specific details of the contract? I am not a breach of contract. Anyway, I will not let this Colombia go. Opportunity, I think even if Barry Diller is placed in my seat, the choice of the other side will definitely be the same as me."
