Chapter 105: circle
Jonathan was almost happy to dance, of course, this is only his inner impulse, and certainly will not be shown.
"Eric, thank you, thank you for giving me this opportunity, I promise that I will make a work that will satisfy you."
Looking at the excitement of the middle-aged man in front of him, Eric also showed a smile: "Jonathan, the specific director contract, you can go to the fireflies to find Jeffrey tomorrow. I think, now you better go back to sleep well. Sleep."
"Ah?" Jonathan felt that Eric’s words were a bit out of the way. He did sleep very little the other day, but now, Jonathan, who has successfully obtained this opportunity, is in a state of excitement. Feeling tired: "Eric, I am not tired, maybe, can we talk about this movie? I still have a lot of ideas."
Jonathan said, patted a thick stack of information in front of him.
Eric shook his head firmly: "Jonathan, I understand that in order to get this opportunity, maybe you haven’t taken the mirror carefully these days?"
Jonathan touched the face of Hu Wei: "Sorry, Eric, when I came out, I just washed my face and didn't have time to shave."
"No," Eric said. "It's not this thing, it's your eyes. Your eyes are covered with bloodshot eyes. This is caused by excessive day and night. So, listen to me, go back and have a good rest for a night. It is the first one."
At Eric's insistence, Jonathan Demi had to get up and go home, and Eric drove off the coffee shop. The next day, Jonathan signed a director's contract with Fireflies. For Jeffrey's $500,000 director fee and no agreement on it, Jonathan didn't want to sign it. Because this opportunity is the most important to him, once the "Small Island" is successful, he can completely get rid of the previous B-level film circle and step into a new world.
On the surface, Hollywood is the most frequent occurrence of American dreams. Some unknown little actors and small directors will suddenly enter the ranks of top actors and top directors because of the popularity of a movie. They are sought after by film companies and the public. praise.
But in fact, in the circle of Hollywood, the invisible barriers are more, the film is independent of the movie, the B-level film has a B-level film circle, the low-cost has low-cost circles, and the big production has big production. The circle, even into a monk movie, also has a circle of swearing movies.
Although this circle has their own intersections, people who originally belonged to a circle want to jump to another circle, and they will find that there will be an obstacle in front of themselves in this process. Slowly, many people I gave up the struggle and honestly stayed in my own circle.
There are no lucky ones. Occasionally, someone will be fortunate to jump from a low-level circle to a higher-level circle, and suddenly they will shine. Then they become the representative of the American dream.
After Jonathan Demi signed the contract, all the directors of Eric’s planned films in this year were confirmed. "Steel Magnolia" has already begun to shoot, followed by the concentrated casting stage of the three films "Dark War", "Smell the Woman" and "Small Island".
Although the three films have already identified some of the protagonists, the remaining characters are still hot. In the first two movies of Eric, even if it is a supporting role, many people's careers have risen directly to a new level. Therefore, after the fireflies released the audition news, the Hollywood second- and third-line actors almost boiled up. Many frontline actors have sent temptations to fireflies.
For the well-known reasons, the selection of the three films definitely favors the actors of the UTA brokerage company. Therefore, in just a few days, thousands of cooperation applications have been submitted to Kapoor. Many of them are packaged by the brokers. The next artist wants to join UTA collectively.
After Kapoor and Eric made a detailed discussion, the two agreed that it is not the best time for UTA to expand.
Blindly expanding the scale does not provide enough opportunities for artists, but only affects UTA's own reputation. So almost all of the cooperation applications were rejected. Kapoor was only able to openly file a statement in the face of successive applications, and this matter was temporarily suspended.
Among the movie's supporting audition lists, the most popular ones are not the "Dark War" directed by Eric himself, nor the "Scent of Women" starring Al Pacino, but it is the most inconspicuous. "Little Island Cry".
Because of the audition list of "The Sound of the Isles", there were two places for small actors around the age of ten.
Although the film and the heroine are not famous in this movie, apart from the movie name of "The-Others", there is no news about the content of the script, but the signature on the screenwriter is Eric himself.
Many people naturally think of Stewart Langkel, who relied on "Little Ghosts". Before "Little Ghosts", Stewart Langkel was just a little boy from Eric's neighbors. Who could think of it? Now this little child will be alive all over the world.
Therefore, when the roles of the other two films were only received hundreds of audition applications, the list of candidates for the two small actors has expanded to 5,000 and continues to increase. With the spread of the audition news, the fireflies have also received archives of small actors from Europe and Australia.
"I am sorry, Charlieson, I don't want to use Stu, just this movie does not need the actor of this level...not the problem of pay, I know that I know, there is not much that little boy. The show... no problem, if you have time, welcome to come to my house to visit... then, goodbye."
Hanging up the phone, Eric snorted his swelled temples. Since the fireflies released the role audition list, he was able to receive calls from countless referral actors every day, whether at home or at the company.
The phone just called the little Stuart father Richardson Langkel, who hadn't contacted for a long time, personally called for the role of the little boy in "Small Island" for Stoudemire.
Stewart Langkel is infinitely beautiful to outsiders, but only insiders know that Stuart seems to have some 'priceless market', and the pay is high, but there are not many people who dare to invite him. Most of them Revenue comes from advertising and endorsements. Perhaps Charlie Longcker also understands that maintaining the reputation of Stuart is the most important thing, so he pulled the following person to call Eric himself, and even reported a low price of 3 million US dollars, you know, CAA gives The Stewart public offer is $8 million.
Unconsciously, Eric found that although he did not participate in a lot of social activities, the circle of interpersonal communication has become surprisingly large. It is estimated that this is the legendary ‘poor in the downtown no one asked, rich in the mountains and distant relatives’.
Even if I just met one side and talked a few words, this time I would talk to Eric in a familiar tone and talk about the weather for a few minutes, and then inadvertently recommend some actor.
A fragrant scent came, and two milky white arms slammed Eric's neck from behind the sofa, sprinkling a small face on Eric's cheeks.
"Oh, well, don't make trouble." Eric shrugged Drew's small arm around his neck, and secretly sighed that the girl was really the darling of God, and that he had not experienced alcohol and drug abuse for several years. It can cause the slightest damage to the girl's milky skin, and it feels smooth and tender.
Drew was laughed at by Ereli, and he lifted his foot and turned over the back of the sofa and threw himself into Eric's arms.
"It’s a big girl, it’s still so skinny,” Eric couldn’t help but slap on Dru’s fleshy buttocks.
"Well... it hurts..." The girl snorted and immediately became tearful, but looking into Eric's big eyes, she seemed to say: Come again, come again.
Eric has become accustomed to the provocation that Drew can throw anytime and anywhere: "Well, let's talk, what happened to it suddenly?"
"What a blame, can't people think of you?"
"Is this your hometown accent? It’s weird, who did you learn?" Eric asked with a smile.
Drew had some doubts about Eric’s sudden English-language English: “What is the 'hometown’?”
"That's... the amount is almost beaten by you, let's say, what are you going back to?"
"In fact, I miss you, Eric, I saw the Lamborghini in the garage. I didn't think I just said that I liked the car. You remember it, so I am so moved."
"You misunderstood, I was actually planning to give it to Jane."
