Chapter 940: Enlargement stroke
In the northern hemisphere of December, most areas have begun to fall snow, but Los Angeles is still as warm as ever.
Sharp Point Manor, it is already more than nine in the morning.
In the circular master bedroom of the shell villa, all the curtains around it were pulled open, and the bright sunshine in the morning seemed to come in from all directions.
Elizabeth Perkins lazily squatted on the big bed, did not mind that the quilt was completely pulled apart by the man next to him, obediently feeling a slightly rough hand walking up the smooth back of her back. Recalling last night and the various situations just now, although I was a bit shy, I was a little proud of my mature body that could attract young people around me.
Eric put his cheeks on his side, stroking the woman's body, expressing his temperament, and wondering if he really had some kind of plot.
The sudden ringing of the phone ring disturbed the silence in the bedroom.
Elizabeth Perkins, who was looking at the shadow of the bird on the blue sky outside the window, curiously turned her head, but saw Eric’s face showing a ghostly look after picking up the phone. She was about to ask, Eric had reached over and licked her mouth.
"Jane... I am upstairs, just finished exercising, changing clothes... Would you help me prepare breakfast next time, um, kiss."
Hanging up the phone, Eric's expression still did not relax.
In a few years, the talent skills of the chicks have not failed at all, and it has only started to make big moves in a few days.
Some are fortunate that this villa is big enough, but Eric did not hesitate to pick up the clothes and start to cover the body.
Elizabeth Perkins looked at Eric's hustle and bustle, and suddenly laughed and ate. He also heard Eric just said the word 'Jane', with a lazy and **** voice. Gleeful fun: "Your girlfriend?"
Eric looked at the woman who hadn’t moved in the big bed, nodded, put on a t-shirt, and smashed all the clothes and shoes next to Elizabeth Perkins on the bed, then rolled up the sheets. Wrap the woman in, and take it and walk towards the bathroom.
Elizabeth Perkins did not resist Eric's movements, just grabbed her high heels and squatted outside, still eating and laughing, and asked: "Eric, she found out, will I be killed?"
"You won't, I will," Eric smacked a joke, pushed the bathroom door open, and placed the woman in a large bathtub. "Sorry, Liz, you have to hide here. When I leave with Jane, I will call you."
Elizabeth Perkins changed her position and leaned comfortably in the big bathtub. She looked at Eric, who was leaving. "I don't care, but don't you know that women's noses are very spiritual." ?"
Eric squatted and immediately understood that last night and Elizabeth Perkins had been entangled all night, and there was still no bath after the morning's passion. Aniston was strange if he could not smell the other women in him. .
Thinking of this, Eric looked for it on the bathroom washbasin. He couldn't find a men's perfume. He didn't have the habit of spraying men's perfume. He just remembered that he had bought a bottle before him, and he didn't know where he was. No perfume was found, and Eric had to take off his clothes three or two times and stand in the shower to start a shower.
Because it was Saturday, Eric was relaxed and greedy once, but I didn’t expect it to be caught by the little girl.
After taking a shower and checking out other traces in the bedroom, Eric went to the study and picked up a notebook, which went downstairs.
When I came to the kitchen and kissed Aniston, who was preparing breakfast, I decided that the chick didn't smell anything from him. Eric put it down and put the laptop on the dining table of the restaurant. I was going to check today. work mail.
The ibm notebook in front of me is finally realized by wifi networking. This is the effect of the wireless router sample just sent by the R&D department of Firefly Electronics last week. However, there is no wifi networking module in the current laptop. Set a signal receiver.
Today is December 13th, the week before the Christmas season, so there is no heavyweight new film, Firefly's "Monster Power Company" and MGM's "Museum Night 2" is still in the lead.
The three-week "Monster Power Company" has reached a total of 168 million US dollars at the box office, and the results are gratifying. In the second week of "Museum of the Museum 2", the box office fell by 58%, and the total has just broken 100 million, reaching $112 million.
Seeing the results of "Museum of the Museum 2", Eric will be worried about the upcoming "Rush Hour 2" next week, the action comedy movie starring Jack Teck and Chris Tucker, the first production The cost is $33 million and the global box office is close to $250 million.
Although Eric began to order the new line to sign a trilogy contract with the two male protagonists, but because of the success of the first small Boss, the sequel to the two protagonists has risen to 15 million US dollars. Therefore, it is only a paycheck, the two protagonists took away 30 million US dollars this time, and other production costs have also risen, resulting in the total production cost of "Rush Hour 2" reached 70 million, although the cost of film production in these two years is frequent Create a record, but the cost of making $70 million is still a big production movie.
The original "Rush Hour" trilogy Eric has seen it, but did not pay attention to the production cost and box office of the three movies, and did not know how much the cost of this $70 million production can bring fireflies.
Moreover, the schedule of this film is not too optimistic.
In addition to determining the "Jurassic Park 3" released one week after "Rush Hour 2", and the "Rush Hour 2" in the same period, and the sci-fi blockbuster "Star River Team" made by Sony Pictures, Eric remembers this Science fiction films have been accused of over-doing political metaphors.
However, the special effects films in these years are still very popular. The general audience will obviously not pay attention to too many political aspects. After the fiasco of the summer file "Godzilla", Sony Pictures is still close to the cost of this production. The $110 million film has invested $40 million in the budget, and the "Star River Team" will undoubtedly become the biggest threat to "Rush Hour 2".
Summer "Continuous Air Prison", "Looking for Nemo", "Royal Casino", "Jesus Police 2"...
At the end of the year, "Monster Power Company", "Museum Night 2", "Rush Hour 2", "Jurassic Park 3"...
Even if he is a film of the firefly system, Eric also found that the North American local schedule has become more and more crowded.
In the memory, the future summer file will be released in May, June, July, August and even September. It can be said that the summer file will be extended from the previous six-July release period to five. Month time. In addition, Easter and the beginning of November at the end of the year have gradually released a large block.
Perhaps, now it is time to lengthen the hot stage or develop a new schedule, otherwise, the North American movie schedule will only cause more and more serious internal friction.
Eric took these things into consideration and unwittingly opened another email in the mailbox.
Although Aniston had already had breakfast, she did two copies and planned to eat it with Eric.
Putting the breakfast on the table, the chick came to Eric and curiously glanced at the laptop screen, and it gave a 'wow' sound, and Eric’s neck was incredibly close. Some.
"What's wrong?" Eric squatted on the face that the chick had come over, smiled and asked, and looked at the laptop screen.
This email was originally the global box office statistics of "Royal Casino". It is already the end of the year. The global release of "Royal Casino" has basically ended. Although some sporadic small ticket warehouse countries have not blossomed, the total box office data is not It will have too much impact, and the future increase will be only a few million dollars.
Aniston pointed to the eye-catching box office number on the screen: "1.135 billion US dollars, is this the Royal Box office's global box office?"
Eric quickly browsed the e-mail, and the Royal Casino's North American box office was finally settled at $372 million, while overseas box office reached $763 million.
According to the average share of 55% in North America and 35% overseas, MGM's scores from the Royal Casino box office reached 471 million US dollars, and the total investment in the production and distribution of Royal Casino was 160 million US dollars. That is to say, only the box office revenue, MGM will receive a net income of 310 million US dollars. Compared with the summer movie "Godzilla", "Batman and Robin" and other street movies, "Royal Casino" performance is even more dazzling.
"I don't think of $1.135 billion," Eric nodded in a smile. "But it's still not comparable to Jim's Titanic."
Aniston kissed Eric on the cheek and said: "The box office of all your films adds up, definitely higher than him."
Eric listened to the chick and said that he couldn't help but think of this question. I don't know how much the total number of participating films has reached since he debuted in 1988. However, only the three most recent "Tornados", "Jurassic Park" and "Royal Casino" are probably similar to Cameron's cumulative box office. Coupled with the previously directed "Little Ghosts", "Feng Yue Qiaojia" and other films, there is no problem beyond Cameron.
After reading this email, Eric temporarily turned off the browser and picked up the tableware and looked at Aniston, who was sitting next to him. "It’s Christmas next week. Do you want to go to New York with me?"
Although he never took the initiative, Aniston still had an inexplicable curiosity about Eric’s two children. He thought about it and asked, “Where is Drew going?”
Eric nodded: "She used to go. It was only after Christmas that everyone was busy. I called the day before yesterday. Vicky said that New York might snow in a few days, so there is a Christmas atmosphere."
The chick was obviously a little heart-stirring, but hesitated for a while, or shook his head: "I still don't go, you can just accompany me for Thanksgiving."
"Well, then," Eric is not reluctant to change the topic in a timely manner, saying: "Where is the breakfast going to play?"
"I didn't plan to do it during the day. However, I had a party with Matthew at night. You will accompany me."
Aniston said that Matthew should still be Matthew Perry. Although he did not participate in "Friends" at the beginning, in the past few years, Matthew Perry has been mixed in the film circle, but there is no "little master" period. So fire.
"Okay, let's go buy some clothes during the day," Eric naturally wouldn't refuse Aniston's small request, ate a few mouthfuls of breakfast, and suddenly thought about something, saying: "Speaking of Matthew, I am just here, another comedy has been looking for a male lead, maybe let him try, um, of course, the scale of this comedy may be a bit large, he does not know if he will."
The main work of Eric during this time is to focus on several new films of the firefly system. One of them is "Teddy Bear". The original version of Mark Wahlberg is just out of the way, which is naturally inappropriate. The role that the casting department gave him during this time was also very difficult to satisfy. Now think about it, Matthew Perry, who looks a bit fading and full of comedian temperament, is a good fit. In this respect, Mark Wahlberg is even worse.
Aniston is very happy to look up, she has always regarded Matthew Perry as a 'good buddy'. In recent years, Matthew Perry’s career is not so good. She originally thought about whether she could make it again. Eric helped him and said: "Eric, really?"
"Of course, I just said that the scale of this film is a bit big."
"Is it going to reveal it?"
Eric shook his head and said: "No, just, um, there are more swear words. It's a kind of squeaky fart that doesn't have a bottom line. Hey, I have a script here, you can take a look."
Eric said that he found the script of "Teddy Bear" from his laptop and opened it to Aniston.
Aniston was drinking porridge, but there was nothing to prepare. He took the spoon and ate while reading the script. However, after a few minutes, the little girl sipped a porridge, but fortunately turned around and took another A piece of paper towel lingered on the mouth, this did not go out.
Wiping the corners of the mouth, the little girl laughed out loudly: "Ha, haha, this is really, too vulgar, even on the floor... the guy who wrote this script is definitely a jerk."
Eric was speechless, touched his nose and wondered if he should take the initiative to admit it.
Aniston is not stupid. I noticed the expression of Eric. I suddenly understood it, but it was even more fun to laugh: "Haha, you are the bastard. I don't know how many guys who like teddy bear toys will look in the future. I will marry you after a while." (To be continued.)
