Chapter 161: Flower industry
"Eric, what did you just want to say to me?" Nicole washed the tableware back to the living room and found that Eric did not go to the company as usual, but still sat in the living room reading the newspaper, the girl was very Cleverly aware that the other party is waiting for yourself.
Eric told the girl to sit down and said: ""Sleepless Night in Seattle" is expected to start up in early September, and I just happened to be a little leisure recently, so I think we should talk about movies."
The girl just nodded and looked at Eric and waited for the other person to continue.
"It has been two months, I think you have already remembered the script of "Sleepless in Seattle". Let me talk about your understanding of the heroine." Eric put the newspaper back on the coffee table and relaxed. Looking up at Nicole with his legs up, he asked a question that would normally be asked during an actor interview.
For more than two months, Nicole has indeed remembered her own lines in "Sleepless Nights in Seattle". When I heard Eric's question, the girl just thought a little and answered replied: "I think, Anne. The biggest feature is that she is a very emotional woman. This is also the most important factor that can happen in this story. She just heard the hero's story on the radio broadcast and she can fly to Seattle alone, just to see Sam. And just for the good fantasy caused by a movie, she resolutely broke up with her already engaged boyfriend and headed for the top floor of the Empire State Building."
"Sounds, you don't seem to like this heroine?" Eric asked with a smile.
The girl licked her thin lips. As a very savvy woman, Nicole would only sneer if she actually met a woman like Anne Reid, but the girl was also smart enough not to answer Eric directly. The question, but rather euphemistically said: "This does not prevent me from playing this role."
Eric shrugged and pushed the previously read newspaper about "When Harry met Sally": "Look at this first. I saw a heroine who is more suitable for you than "Sleepless in Seattle". The actress, named Meg Ryan."
The girl, who was originally placed on the maid's little apron, shook a little, and looked up and looked at Eric's expression carefully. No useful information was found. I can only take the newspaper and quickly read the propaganda soft text about "When Harry meets Sally."
Eric explained next: "The film's performance is good, so the original Meg Ryan's box office appeal is definitely increasing. If she can invite her to participate in the heroine, "Sleepless in Seattle." "It just happens to be able to pick up "When Harry meets Sally" in the New Year, which is also very good for the box office."
"I... I have signed the contract." The girl did not confidently weaken and argued.
"Of course, I didn't say that I have to change you. I just told you a possibility." Eric said: "If your performance can't satisfy me, we also clearly stated on the contract, I have the power to go midway. Replace the heroine, but I believe that you have this potential and will give you a chance."
In the memory, Nicole has indeed played this kind of sweet-hearted stupid white sweet character, which is the "family wife" in the past in 2005. The sweetheart witch Isabel, who was shaped by the girl in the movie, was very successful and completely subverted her **** cold. Brilliant screen image. However, the film's plot was too much and there was no bright spot, which eventually led to the film's failure. Moreover, the actor Will Farrell was also very suppressed by Nicole in acting. It is estimated that it has not appeared from time to time. The role of the agent around him that looks like Tom Cruise is stealing. Many people think that the role is that the producer deliberately sought to provoke the topic, because Tom Cruise did play the broker in Mr. Sweetheart. The person role, although a sports agent.
"...thank you," the girl heard the last words of Eric, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, let's say another thing. You have been in my house for more than two months. It's time to leave."
"Ah, that... Isn't there still another month to boot?" The girl looked up, although she didn't give up in her expression, but she was a little uneasy because she knew that she was able to get this role, and what she paid was Eric has been a little maid for a while, and now there is still more than a month left, the other party let himself leave, the girl can not help but produce a thought of buying something in a convenience store, but did not pay enough money, the money did not give enough The boss has the power to return the goods.
Eric didn't quite understand why the girl felt uneasy, but she patiently explained: "Beginning next month, "Seattle Night Sleep" will begin formal preparations, and some information will be slowly revealed to the public, such as Starring for men and women. When the time comes, the media will be very curious about who you are. In order to carry out the preheating propaganda, you must definitely show up from time to time, and it is definitely inappropriate to live in me."
The girl nodded. "I understand, then I... move out today?"
"Don't worry too much, I will let people find a house for you first. There is one more important thing. After you move out, the "When Harry meets Sally", you take the time to read it several times. I hope that you can try to figure out the performance style of Meg Ryan. My ideal Annie is similar to her image in this movie."
"Do you want me to imitate?" The girl leaned forward slightly and asked carefully.
Eric reached out and said, "No, it's not imitation, and you can't imitate it. The temperament of the two of you is different. Meg Ryan is the standard sweetheart, and her play will also be It will be restricted for a long time. If you want to imitate it too much, you will definitely be labeled as a sweetheart in the future, which will be detrimental to your future development. I want you to try to figure out Meg · Ryan raised his hand to see that kind, that kind of... Well, white point is a little silly little details."
If he can successfully enter Hollywood, Nicole doesn't mind being tagged. In Hollywood, sweetheart is always better than a vase. But she also heard that Eric was thinking about her future, so she nodded obediently.
After a few more chats, Eric stood up and picked up his coat and put it on: "So, take time to pack your luggage. When you find a good house, you will move out immediately. I am going to the company."
Nicole quickly stood up and smiled at Eric, trying to send a man out.
Eric saw the little smiley face of the girl and couldn't help but stop: "Nic, you laugh at me again."
The girl is somewhat unclear, but she is very obedient to reveal a smile, exaggerated more than just a smile, revealing two small rabbit teeth.
Eric shook his head in disappointment: "Forget it, you still don't laugh like this. It feels like you are planning to do something bad. Just like a smile, it's good and more practice."
"I will," the girl has been sending Eric out of the door before returning to the villa, habitually doing a routine cleaning. Two hours later, the girl who finished everything sat awkwardly on the sofa in the living room. I stared at everything around me.
"Eric, this is the new line you want and the information of the two film companies of Miramax." In the firefly's office, Eric's assistant, Allen, placed two paper bags in front of Eric.
"First place here. You contact Robert Shee of the new line and the Weinstein brothers of Miramax. When are you free? I want to have a meal with them. I don’t have to hide my purpose. You gave it to the other person a little." Eric confessed while he was writing down.
Allen wrote Eric’s embarrassment in the memo before he looked up: “Eric, is there anything else?”
"Well, wait a minute," Eric continued to bow his head. After a while, he handed the note paper to Allen: "There are two more things. The first one is to rent an apartment in Beverly Hills. Don't be too expensive. The monthly rent is no more than 5,000 US dollars. The second one is to register a shell movie company in my name according to the name on the sticky note paper. I am useful."
Allen looked at the sticky note and read it again: "Flower-Films?"
“Well,” Eric nodded and explained nothing: “Go and do it, the apartment is going to be faster, and it’s best to rent it in these two days.”
"I will pay attention, but is the apartment rent a company account?"
"No, personally, you can find a good house and let the real estate agent prepare the contract."
Allen posted the note paper on the booklet of his memo and confirmed a few things to Eric before leaving the Eric office.
When the office door was closed, Eric opened the information of the two companies. Although the recent distribution of fireflies was to be created, Eric did not have the idea of starting from scratch. The most important thing is that his time is very tight, so the acquisition A film company with distribution channels is the most convenient and fast.
In memory, two of the most promising film companies that Eric can think of are the new line and Miramax. As for the new century, the lion door film that has almost become a new movie giant has not yet appeared. Film companies such as Orion, Lianmei, and Samsung have already been in close contact with the six major companies. There is no possibility of being acquired by him. Even if he intends to purchase with a high price, he realizes that he wants to stand alone. The six big players will not let go. Although there are many second- and third-line movie companies in the same era as the new line and Milamax, Eric has never heard of it before. It is estimated that those companies will completely lose their independence when they are merged. Even the label has not been left, or it is because of poor management or investment failure.
