Chapter 304: Advance pit
Nicole shrugged and said: "That doesn't matter. I also received a lot of other films in my hand. I just live here and let Eric help me pick it up. His eyes have now spread throughout Hollywood. I heard that there is still some credit for you."
When he heard Nicole say this, Drew glanced dissatisfiedly at the girl and asked, "What about Eric?"
"In the study, talk to a guest."
"Help me put things in my room," Shantou pushed the suitcase in front of Nicole and ran to the door of the study.
Nicole looked at the small suitcase in front of her, frowning slightly, and soon she smiled at the corner of her mouth and pulled it up and walked up the stairs.
At the entrance of the basement study, Drew quickly pressed a few times on the password lock. The door opened automatically and walked down the spiral staircase, but I did not see Eric. Drew immediately Realizing that Eric is definitely in the study room on the second floor, there are so many things like the script in this room, not the closest person, Eric can't bring the other person in.
He stepped on the stairs to the second floor study room and pushed the door open. Drew saw Eric looking at something opposite the brown-haired man.
After hearing the movement behind the door, the brown-haired man turned his head. Drew looked at the other person's appearance. Her memory was good. She recognized each other at a glance. The middle-aged man is the one that Eric published "Jurassic Park". The boss of the publishing house, Michael Kraus: "Hello, Mr. Claus."
Michael Klaus saw Drew not hesitating to call his name, and stood up in amazement: "Hello, Miss Barrymore, I don't think you remember me, we just saw it at the party last year. ?"
Drew and Michael Kraus shook hands, then turned to the desk to return to the arms of Eric. It’s awkward on the man’s face: “Eric, I miss you.”
Eric smiled and touched the hair of the girl: "Okay, don't make trouble. The guests are here, help us to make another pot of coffee, just finished drinking."
"Hey. Just come back and call people," Xiao Nizi grumbled dissatisfiedly, or jumped up and walked out.
"Drew has always been like this, let you laugh," Eric looked at the stunned Michael Kraus, helplessly explained.
Michael Krause smiled and said: "No, nothing. Let's continue to say "The Matrix", Eric, I think this novel is written too short, only 50,000 Many words, many things are written plausible, I think it would be better if you can expand to 200,000 words."
"I want to do this too, Michael, but you should understand that I don't have that much time now. It is good to write 50,000 words, and you should know. I wrote this novel just for movie copyright. "Eric's booth said, the two are talking about, is the famous "Matrix."
Because of the release of "The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", plus some of the previous things, Eric's vision in the movie has spread throughout Hollywood. As a highly risky industry, Hollywood filmmakers will inevitably have a confused letter about this kind of thing. Drummer’s acquisition of copyright will be attacked.
After the incident, Eric’s plan to acquire the "Matrix" script from the carpenter brothers could not be carried out anymore.
The previous "Matrix" appeared only in 1999. Now the idea is at most a few scattered thoughts in the minds of the two brothers of the carpenter painter, and Eric will write it out unceremoniously. And made some plausible changes, so that this novel and the film are quite different, but the main line has not changed much, although only written about 50,000 words, but this is enough to occupy this pit, and in the future Don't worry about copyright issues.
"Eric, in fact, this story is quite exciting, so I think maybe I can find someone to extend this story to 200,000 words. You can rest assured that copyright will not cause any problems at all. I promise to sign the perfect with the gunmen invited. Contract."
Eric immediately shook his head: "Michael, looking for a gunman is a very risky thing. In the future, the benefits will reach a certain level. I just promised that the gunman will definitely jump out, so I will not take this risk."
The two were talking, Drew, who was holding a pot of coffee, came in and poured coffee for the two. Curiously picked up the manuscript between the two and asked, "What are you talking about, um... ...the hacker, a very interesting name."
Michael Klaus looked at himself from the Druid who took the novel and sat down on the sofa next to him, looking helplessly at Eric.
"It's okay, let's talk," Eric gave Michael Klaus a reassuring look. He knew that Michael Klaus was worried that Xiao Nizi would hear it here and would not listen. Things are going out.
Michael Klaus said: "So, Eric, since you disagree, forget it. I want to ask about the "Dark War". Have you ever thought about novelizing this story?"
"Michael, the copyright of "The Dark War" is shared by Firefly and Columbia. The first part of this series has got more than $400 million in global box office, and with the next sequel, the value of the ticket may exceed $1 billion. With such huge amounts of money, Colombia will not agree to fiction this series for hundreds of thousands or millions of royalties."
"That's a pity," Michael Klaus shook his head and chatted with Eric about the details of the publication of "The Matrix". Michael Klaus declined the invitation of Eric to stay here for dinner. Say goodbye.
Eric sent Michael Kraus out of the villa and waited for the other party to drive to the manor gate before returning to the villa.
"Wow, Eric, how did you come up with it, you can still do this." Just entering the living room, Xiao Nizi shook his hand in excitement and said to Eric.
Eric took the manuscript of "The Matrix" back from Xiao Nizi and asked: "When did you come back?"
"I came here when I got off the plane," Drew smiled and grabbed Eric's arm and walked into the study on the ground floor with Eric.
"Then what do you go to the "The Silent Lamb" crew, if you shoot in Los Angeles, then you have a little girl who went to Pennsylvania?" (To be continued)
