Chapter 964: Director's privilege
Eric smiled and shook the little hand of Scarlett Johansson. From the small details just mentioned, it is not a coincidence that he can meet Scarlett here.
However, Eric did not pursue these wandering thoughts. Hollywood is trying to get close to him. There are too many people who are trying to get close to him. He just said to the girl who is quite young in front of her eyes: "I know you, you are in Shawn. · Connery’s "The Deadly Trap" plays his daughter."
After all, the 14-year-old girl couldn’t have had any deep thoughts. Scarlett Johansson, who was still trying to keep calm, heard this sentence, and her face suddenly showed a stunned expression. : "Really, really, Mr. Williams, how am I doing?"
“Great,” Eric smiled and smiled.
In fact, Scarlett Johansson has only a few very simple shots in The Deadly Trap, and she doesn't see any acting. However, she was able to get the role of Sean Connery's daughter in this movie, but it shows the girl's family in Hollywood.
The Deadly Trap is Warner’s crime thriller, costing $5 million, which is a big one. The film's actor, Sean Connery, doesn't have to say that the heroine, Kate Capshaw, is equally big. She is Spielberg's wife. Scarlett Johansson was able to star in the daughters of Sean Connery and Kate Capshaw a few years ago, and the starting point was enough for Hollywood's 99% of the actors to sigh.
The other girls heard Eric praised Scarlett Johansson and reacted, and immediately began to introduce themselves.
Eric patiently listened to the girls Barabala for a while, then pointed to his watch and smiled: "Okay, girls, since you are back, I have to go home from work."
In the midst of a sigh of sighs, Miranda felt very proud to go forward and took away with her intentions. Eric released the girl without a trace and shook his head. "I can't do it today, go play with your sisters, but remember to go early. Going back, I will call in the evening to ask Sanchez if you are going home on time."
Miranda wanted to show her close relationship with Eric. At this time, in the face of a group of girlfriends, Eric refused, suddenly pouted and shook his arm and said: "Eric, I don't want to Go back to Beverly."
"Be obedient, don't make trouble," Eric was unmoved. Looking at the girls around, Eric realized that he was too laissez-faire to Miranda. This Nizi was not as smart as he thought.
Slightly aggravated and Miranda Kerr said this, Eric smiled at the other girls and boarded the helicopter with his bodyguard.
Looking at the black helicopter that whizzed away, Scarlett Johansson was a little excited. When her mother **** secretly told her to make a good relationship with Miranda, she still felt very confused. All that she experienced today, especially just saw it. Eric Williams, let her fully understand the mother's intentions.
What's more, Eric Williams actually knows himself, this is definitely the biggest surprise today.
Since 1988, the film directed by Eric has brought a large number of unnamed little actors to the front line. Even with the wealth of Eric's name, his recent two-billion-dollar movie at the box office has made his position in Hollywood reach a level that no one can match.
Scarlett's age is not big, but because she entered the vanity fair in Hollywood early, she can practice too much than Miranda. She knows very well that Eric just knows her name, which is a very big for her. opportunity.
I remembered the film of the best-selling novel of Miramax, which I recently auditioned. If Eric Williams can help me with a few words, then I will definitely get the character easily.
That character is much heavier than the small character in The Deadly Trap, which is equivalent to the female number two. Her mother’s network in Hollywood is not enough to help her. Only after this time, I don’t know when I will see Eric Williams again.
Well, maybe, you can ask Eric Williams from Miranda here.
"Miranda, what is inside the shell villa?"
“Is Eric very good at **?”
"When can you take us to the Pointe Manor?"
"..."
It was the sound of awkwardness that interrupted Scarlett’s thoughts.
Although Eric just did not take Miranda to leave, it did not affect the feelings of several other girls on Miranda.
Western girls are very precocious, and none of the girls around Miranda are small children who are not guilty of the world. They are not sensitive to problems such as age, but they are very envious of Miranda’s ability to become Eric. Williams's young girlfriend. Therefore, as soon as Eric left, Miranda was immediately surrounded again and asked Dong to ask West.
Miranda Kerr was surrounded by his sisters, and the original loss quickly dissipated, and soon became very high-spirited.
Scarlett made up her mind and laughed and gathered.
"Iron Man" is not a big show in Las Vegas, but as one of the hottest hotels in the casino, Caesars Palace is naturally impossible to stop business to match the filming. After coordination, the crew will use three days to separate. Shoot the relevant scenes.
Eric went out with the crew of the crew on Monday morning and left Los Angeles for Las Vegas. He would like to fly to Las Vegas on his own vh-6o helicopter, so that even if it is from the sharp corner of Malibu, it only takes an hour and a half to reach the destination. The team following the crew needs a whole morning. time.
However, Eric believes that the film crew started shooting like the army marching in the ancient times. As the core of the crew, it is best to work with the employees.
The crew has already packed a mid-level suite in the Caesars Palace for everyone to live in. Eric naturally chooses the villa-style apartment he once lived in, and he is now hard to live in. However, if you live in your own home, there is no problem. These days, Eric's assistant office has already prepared a villa in advance for Eric in Las Vegas.
After arriving in Las Vegas, the crew had no scenes in the afternoon, just to arrange for the banquet scene that Colonel Roddy presented to Tony Stark tomorrow. The time of the show was at night, but as an indoor play, it was shot during the day. no problem.
The filming of the cave scene in the first half of the month was basically Eric and Ed Harris, who played Dr. Ethan, this time, Jeff Bridges, Don Chander, Natasha. Hensquech and Larry Ellison, who are running through the Eric pit, will enter the group.
In a cafeteria in Caesars Palace, the crew of the rushing rush of hundreds of kilometers are gathering. After a long journey, most people are tired, but the atmosphere in the restaurant is very lively.
Eric is hiding at a dining table in the corner of the restaurant, talking to Barry Weiss, the president of Firefly Records, who has just returned from Europe, to talk about the acquisition of Viking Records. It has been two months since I contacted the Virgin Records parent company EMI.
"From a week ago, EMI has not made any concessions. They have killed the price at $1.3 billion, which is 100 million more than the upper limit we can afford. I have contacted EMI’s tops several times. Nothing, you can only fly back and let you decide."
Barry Weiss introduced the current situation and looked at the food that he had just taken from the buffet table, but it was difficult to give birth to an appetite. He just took a sip of pure water next to him and then looked at Eric. Waiting for him to make a decision.
Eric also didn't start to eat. His fingers tapped on the table. After a while, he said, "If we give up the acquisition of Viking Records, do you think EMI can still find a baggage buyer?"
Barry Weiss hesitated, or said truthfully: "If the price exceeds 100 million US dollars, it is basically impossible. The actual value of Viking Records is now only 800 million US dollars. Except us, there will be no other buyers willing to High price took over."
"There is no problem. The Viking record has declined for a few years, but the foundation is still there. This is why we are willing to take over. If it is delayed for a few more years, the Viking record will probably be fundamentally rotted. If you say 100 million U.S. dollars, even if it is halved, no one will be interested again. Therefore, although the fireflies need Viking very much, EMI’s management will not miss this opportunity to get rid of it. Eric shrugged and said: "So, wait for the call and tell them our highest offer, $1.2 billion, so that EMI will give us an accurate answer tomorrow. If they refuse, the business will be There is no need to talk anymore."
Barry Weiss has some concerns: "Eric, I think $1.3 billion, it is not unacceptable."
"1.2 billion US dollars, 1.3 billion US dollars, for the Firefly Group, it really does not make much difference," Eric said: "But, since we originally decided to set a maximum price of 1.2 billion US dollars, we must stick to it. If we After making a concession, there will definitely be a concession after that, and you will retreat step by step. One day you will be retreating yourself. Viking record is our best choice, but definitely not the only choice, if this The transaction failed, and as long as you want, I can still give you a $1.2 billion budget to expand the Firefly Record Department. So, think about it, I will talk to Jos for a while."
After Eric seriously finished, he picked up his plate and got up and walked to Jos Weiden and others, and he no longer cares about Barry Weiss who was in a state of suffering. Although Eric appreciates Barry Weiss, if he does not even decide on this point, even if he leaves the Firefly Group, Eric will not feel a pity.
Going to a table by Jos Weeden, Jeff Bridges, Larry Ellison, etc. Eric happens to hear that Larry Ellison, who has already blown his face, is talking to Jos. · Weiden asks himself how to play Hapy Hogan, a pair of people who want to do a line of love. Since learning that Eric has personally played Tony Stark, Larry Ellison has been rushing to grab Eric's limelight. Eric can also see Larry Ellison’s mind, but he is not worried at all, but he is very happy.
There is no such thing as the character of Hapy Hogan. Larry Ellison has no powerful atmosphere in front of the camera, such as Jack Nicholson, and wants to grab the limelight of the protagonist. Basically, impossible. Eric’s original scruples was that Larry Ellison would have dealt with it. If that was the case, he would rather replace him temporarily.
It was noticed that Eric came over, and Natasha Hensquech, who was listening to several big men's conversations, immediately took a picture of the empty space next to him, showing a nice smile: "Eric, sit here. ”
Eric just nodded, and Larry Ellison protested very dissatisfiedly: "Hey, Natasha, this is not right. Pretty women should wait for the man to be courteous and not vice versa."
Natasha Hensquech didn't mind Larry Ellison's teasing, and said very generously: "Mr. Ellison, I have been waiting for you to be diligent, but you only have Mr. Director in your eyes. ”
This ridicule is obviously more hate than Larry Ellison, and everyone can't help but laugh.
Eric also smiled and put down the plate, sat down next to Natasha Hensquech, and felt the smell of the perfume that the girl had uploaded. He asked, "So, Larry, you just talked to Jos. what?"
"Eric, I have read the comics of Iron Man again this time. Hapy Hogan is a very important character, so don't you think that I have played too little in this movie? ?"
"Larry, I think, since you only get a one-dollar pay, you should be a bit more, don't think about doing a job other than one dollar."
Larry Ellison did not wait for Eric to go on, and once again revealed the expression of resentment: "Accurately, I posted $499,999.99."
Eric corrected it seriously: "That is advertising sponsorship, not a post-it, we have a contract, very formal."
The laughter rang again.
After having lunch, Barry Weiss also made up his mind and chatted with Eric for a while. He left the Caesars Palace Hotel and plans to return to Los Angeles immediately.
In the afternoon, the scenery and rehearsal work did not require Eric to participate. He was planning to return to his place of residence in Los Angeles for a while, and Natasha Huntsquech came over: "Eric, you should have no work in the afternoon. Can you tell me about our opponents?"
Everyone gradually left the restaurant, and Eric also took Natasha Hensquech to go out and said with a smile: "Is it not the director's privilege to tell a beautiful actress?" I know that I hate me."
Natasha Huntsque gave White a look at Eric, but her expression was rather flattering. "I just want to talk to you about the lines. What do you guys think, I can't manage it."
Eric smiled and said: "Then go with me. I bought a villa at the Las Vegas Country Club and lived there for a few days."
Natasha Hensquech’s small expression of concern, I don’t know if it’s true or false: “You don’t want to take me out to do something?”
"Do you resist?"
"Do you want me to resist?"
"The harder the better."
"..."
"Well, don't roll your eyes, my assistant will go with us, and bodyguards." (To be continued.)
