Chapter 572: Emergency room story
Eric pondered for a moment, suddenly remembered Elizabeth's strong character and relationship with her, the girl will not completely greet herself, she won the "Brave Heart" project, then ...
Thinking of the appearance of an old fox, Eric said: "Liz, I suddenly felt that I should not take care of this matter, and wait for the loss of "Brave Heart", plus the lessons of "cutting the throat" a few years ago. After the Firefly Film Industry competes with people for scripts, the competitiveness will increase greatly. Please search for the most!
"Then you watched as I was swept out of the company by the company?"
Eric shook his head: "No, I guess it is also the old man who left you."
Elizabeth was silent for half a second, resentment: "You can't be so smart?"
Eric shook his head and sighed: "No way, hey, IQ, this thing..."
Elizabeth looked at Eric's stinking look, and lifted the mouse in her hand to throw it away, but then she let it go: "Well, this project is indeed my father personally talking to Mel Gibson. ”
"So, you shouldn't care, your old man is too smart. If you don't change it, you will eat your own food sooner or later. Oh, no, the last time he provoked Druid Xiao Nizi, he has already eaten his own fruit, see you. Home News Group’s stock price has been reversed recently, and if people are already falling apart.”
Elizabeth seems to have some helplessness: "My old man is already 62 years old. Do you think he can change?"
"Well," Eric spreads his hand: "Then I am blending into this project, what good is it?"
"Fireflies can participate in the investment," Elizabeth said with five white fingers: "Half of them work, but we have to keep the copyright."
"I don't invest, you put the price so high, maybe the final profit was taken away by Mel Gibson," Eric immediately refused.
"Then what do you say?"
Eric has nothing to say: "Forget it, this time I will be a good person, and the position of the heroine will be kept for me."
Elizabeth showed a contemptuous look: "Who is this time. It won't be Joan's sister. I saw a photo of you two in the newspaper a few days ago."
Eric remembered that Eva had some headaches: "Of course it is not her. If I have to love Eva, Joan will not return to Poland with Xia Xia."
"Hey, don't think I don't know about the Spanish sisters. Hey, be careful when you wake up. Just go with Michael Jackson now."
"I am the kind of person, Monica is already sixteen. Besides, I have not touched her."
"Nadru, when you two met, I figured it, 1988, 1975, it’s a coincidence, the same age as the boy in the Michael Jackson case..."
Eric narrowed his eyes: "Would we not discuss "Brave Hearts" today, specializing in these issues?"
Elizabeth was sitting in danger at once. True color: "Well, the heroine is yours, what's next?"
Eric recalled the "Brave Heart" script that I had seen some time ago. It is not too much difference from the memory. At present, the male and female protagonists can also be determined to be the original class. The production is sufficient, and the quality of the film is absolutely guaranteed. There are only issues left for release.
"How are you going to release this film?"
"My dad is going to use this movie as the main film for next summer's summer," Elizabeth remembered Eric's words: "But now, according to what you mean, should it be at the end of the year?"
"Well, I have seen the script in terms of production. I don't need to make major changes. The male and female protagonists will be sure. Just pick a suitable producer and cooperate with Mel Gibson to ensure the quality of the film. Right now. The issue of the remaining issue. "Brave Heart" can be counted as a rushing film. If you put it in the summer file, you can't enjoy the box office bonus in the award season, so it is best to put it at the end of the year."
The so-called award season. Usually from the end of the year until the second year of March in the Oscar, during the period of the awards season, each time influential awards, can stimulate the box office, in the important Oscar awards After that, the box office usually has a rebound, so for the "Brave Heart" movie with the potential of the best Oscars, such as the best film, the best choice at the end of the year.
Elizabeth took out a notepad from her handbag, wrote down the things, and then looked up and asked, "Is there still?"
Eric’s finger tapped on the table and indulged for a moment. “I haven’t heard from the Weinstein brothers’ Miramax company recently, have they found a home?”
"Not yet," Elizabeth thought, saying: "Are you not interested in Miramax?"
"I am not interested does not mean that Miramax has no value. The level of the Weinstein brothers' operation of the Oscars is obvious to all. The Oscar economy is still very profitable, so the 20th Century Fox may wish to win Miramax. Then give "Brave Heart" to them."
Elizabeth picked up the pen and just wanted to write it down. Suddenly she said: "It seems that their brothers are asking for a high price. It is better to follow the original "silent lamb" cooperation, Fox pays, they help PR?"
"Fox is not willing to buy Miramax. It doesn't mean that other film companies are not tempted. If they find their owners in this year, do you think they will also operate the Austrian award film for Fox? You will still be an opponent when you are not sure."
"It seems that this is the only thing," Elizabeth wrote down the plan and suddenly said: "The World War II film that the fireflies are making should also hit Oscar, the Catherine Bigelow?"
"The movie will be released next summer. Catherine is a woman, so it is not possible to get the best film and best director this time. At that time, we will fight for the best actor, you are here, Mel Gibson. At the same time, as a director and a actor, you can't take it with two small gold people, so you can focus on the best director when you get there."
Elizabeth remembered some of the ridicules she had received in the media after she got the best film in the Silent Lamb. She understood that Eric was telling the truth: "Mer Gibson is not a well-known director, he should More suitable for the best actor?"
Eric nodded his face seriously: "At that time, everyone will have their own skills. Oscar has never had a woman to get the best director. Let's make some public opinion speculation. Maybe I can push Catherine up." Save Da Bingrui "This is the main theme of the film, the possibility of getting the best film is very high. Oh, and Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson is much more handsome than Tom. In general, people who are handsome are not handsome. Easy to get an Oscar."
"Okay, okay. We don't fight for the best actor," Elizabeth surrendered. Then he laughed: "If the college knows that we are discussing the Oscars for two years, will we not give us an award?"
Eric lowered his voice: "Well, it's very likely, so don't go out and talk about it when you go out."
"Oh..." Elizabeth smirked twice: "Hey, is there anything else?"
"There is only this for the time being, I will tell you when I think about it."
Elizabeth is planning to close the notebook and say: "Would you like, when the film is finally cut, do you help me?"
"That's too much. I am the owner of the Firefly Films, running your company as an editor. Is this appropriate?"
Elizabeth disappointedly stuffed the notepad into the bag and said, "Don't think I don't know your mind."
"Oh, talk about it?"
"Mr. Williams, can you tell me why did you recommend me to Fox?"
Eric hit a haha: "Can you still go to Warner as vice president?"
Elizabeth ignored Eric to transfer the topic. Road: "You want me to pick up my dad's class, then use me to expand your influence in Hollywood, your ambition Druid's dead girl did not come out at first, hey, I will follow you, I am Look, how do you unify Hollywood in the future?"
Eric didn’t have the heart to be broken. He held the coffee cup and leaned against the chair. He said, “I promise you will see that day.”
"Then I waited," Elizabeth said, and picked up the bag and stood up.
Eric followed and got up and asked, "You don't want to go back to Los Angeles now?"
Elizabeth asked curiously, "Why should I go back to Los Angeles?"
"Where are you going?"
"Of course I am going home," Elizabeth gave Eric a white eye: "When I was fourteen years old, my father moved to Manhattan with our family. Do you think our family is still in Australia?"
Eric really forgot this: "I will send you, is your old man still in Los Angeles?"
Elizabeth said: "He went to the UK. It seems to be about Sky TV. I went home to see my mother."
Elisabeth was sent away, Eric returned to the study, just wanted to call Sophie, suddenly realized that the French rose has recently entered the "Royal Rose" crew, Eric has no contact in the hands of the crew The way, you can only temporarily let go of this matter.
Nothing happened, Eric took the TV drama plan file from Los Angeles and saw it.
It took more than two hours to read all of the dozens of programs. Eric did not find any American drama that appeared in his memory, but Eric wrote it on several seemingly good projects. My own suggestion is to let the TV drama department decide whether to shoot or not. In any case, the cost of the TV series is much lower than that of the movie. According to the normal process, a TV drama often only takes a test broadcast test effect first, so it will not fail. Bring too much damage.
After reading these documents, I was about to put all the documents together. Eric suddenly found the document that Elizabeth had just read, and after the girl flipped it, she placed the file next to the monitor.
Eric took the file and opened it freely. Although he had no expectations, but seeing the name of the project planner, Eric's pupil suddenly became a contraction.
Because on that column, I wrote a very familiar name: Michael Clayton.
The author of the famous Jurassic Park in the original time and space, only Eric wrote the Jurassic Park a few years earlier. Although Michael Clayton is still a good screenwriter in Hollywood, he also No longer as dazzling as the original time and space.
Looking at the TV project project in his hand, although the content has not been opened, according to memory, Eric has almost guessed what the TV series will be.
"The Story of the Emergency Room", the most popular medical drama in the 1990s, because the "Emergency Room Story" is popular, and in the following ten years, even the "Grey" and "House" Doctors and so on, the rise of a large number of medical dramas.
"The Story of the Emergency Room" not only produced more than ten seasons in a row, but also won George Clooney, who is known as the Hollywood Diamond King.
Eric was a little excited to open the cover and gave a general look at the content of the TV drama plan. It was not what Eric expected. The content is the story of the emergency room.
Simply flipping this plan, Eric also calmed down from the excitement. What he wants to consider now is how to take this project absolutely and safely. He just experienced the "Brave Heart" just a few months ago. In the fight, Eric can't want to come again.
For the TV network that will be won in the future, the value of "The Story of the Emergency Room" is definitely not weaker than "Friends". Moreover, this TV series has a very big advantage, that is, the "The Story of the Emergency Room" has a lot of protagonists. It can even be said that there is no protagonist, which means that the "Emergency Room Story" can be photographed as long as the ratings are available, and there will be no situation where the production company can't afford the actor's pay and has to cut off the episode. More protagonist, whoever has gone is no problem, just change one more.
Thinking of this, Eric picked up the phone and dialed the phone of Michael Lynn in Los Angeles. The two talked on the phone for a while, and Michael Lynn felt Erik’s serious attitude. When the machine indicated that it would personally follow up on this project.
However, remembering the last experience, Eric also asked Michael Lynn not to be too conspicuous. After thinking about it, Eric looked at the pile of project planning books and finally suggested that Michael Lynn pick a few of them. Let the copyright department come forward together, so that it will not cause too many opportunities.
After repeated explanations, Eric was able to hang up the phone with confidence. (To be continued.)
