Michael · Claus saw that Eric kept shaking his head, and finally played a rogue: "Eric, just write anything, you can't let me run for nothing? I'm doing" Jurassic Park "this time After I was busy, even my wife began to complain that I was only working, and you wanted to pay royalties for making movies, and I gave you 200,000 so readily. Do n’t you feel a little touched? "
A short, middle-aged man with his eyes playing emotional cards in front of himself, Eric could n’t help but feel cold for a while, and thought about it, he said, "Well, Michael, there is a good theme, but also science fiction. , But it is only a rough idea, there is no specific outline. The story is based on the inspiration of George Romero ’s series of living dead people, about the leak of a virus being studied by a biological company, causing humans to be infected as living dead people ... … "
Eric recounted the story of "Resident Evil" roughly. He watched the "Resident Evil" series of movies in previous life. Although he did n’t like it very much, he recapitulated the story completely because of the abnormal memory after rebirth. come out.
previous life "Resident Evil" series is regarded as the most profitable game adaptation film, the cost is not high, the total series Box Office has reached more than one billion USD. Since Michael · Claus didn't let him write something, let's take this pit to occupy consider as finished. Although previous life Eric is not angry, but it is cheaper at Japanese, this kind of happy news is still very fulfilling.
Michael · Claus is somewhat dissatisfied: "Will this story be too niche, Eric, zombie culture is indeed liked by many people, but the audience is still too small, or change to something else?"
Eric shrugs its shoulders, spreads his hands, and looks like you want it or not. Michael · Claus has no choice but to promise: "Okay, write the story as soon as possible, with your current reputation, Do n’t worry about sales. By the way, you can add some adult elements to it. It must be hot. Anyway, you are an adult now, no one will blame anything ... "
Talking about his suggestion, Michael · Claus suddenly noticed the unnatural expression on Eric ’s face, turned around subconsciously, and found that Aniston was standing behind his back with his hips, small mouth, and a little bit, and you followed Say what it looks like.
"That, Eric, I suddenly remembered that there are still some things to do, so let ’s see you." Encourage someone ’s boyfriend to write an adult and get caught in the novel. Michael embarrassedly picked up the bag and opened it. Slip, after opening the door, I couldn't help but turned around and asked, "Be sure to write it as soon as possible."
After Michael · Claus left, Aniston asked: "Eric, wouldn't you really write as the guy said?"
Eric smiled and embraced Aniston, stroking Aniston because of the slim waist that has been thin for more than two months, saying: "Of course not, I am now promoted by Columbia and Fox as a role model for entire US youth, how? It may be because of a bit of a small profit, which damages my brilliant image. "
"Oh, model, you are a big color wolf, ah, do n’t want it."
After struggling a few times, Aniston was pressed onto the sofa by Eric again.
......
After a period of publicity, "Home Alone" and "17 Again" finally ushered in another critical moment, the movie preview.
On November 11, the two films held film critic previews at the same time. There was no online hype in this era. The publicity of the film was mainly through newspaper. The audience ’s choice of the film also basically relied on the reviews of the film on newspaper.
Therefore, film critic is a hurdle that cannot be circumvented in the film promotion process. Of course, after watching the movie with the film critic participating in the screening, as long as the quality of the movie is not bad enough, it is generally not too sharp. After all, film critic needs a movie, but the movie does not necessarily need film critic. Let Film Studio block itself.
The day after the screening, major newspaper magazine appeared with long-awaited comments about "Home Alone" and "17 Again".
"" Home Alone "has created a brand new pure comedy narrative mode, full of innocence and growing laughter and warmth. The conflict between the quirky protagonist and the two stupid thieves has to be said, Stewart · Rankel's seven-year-old little Actor can be described as stunning in the film, and Marvin, who is also a newcomer, Matthew · Perry, is also remarkable. The comedy-style face only needs one When it appears, people can't help laughing ... "—— 《Los Angeles Times》
"The genius Director plus the genius little Actor, a Christmas joy feast dedicated to the audience. I advise you not to eat popcorn when watching movies, otherwise you may laugh at the neck of the audience in front of you. Here ... "-" Chicago Tribune "
"" 17 Again "is a transformation of Drew · Barrymore. Drew completely got rid of the image of the little girl in the previous cute" et "in the film and plays a rebellious daughter who is about to graduate from high school. Drew has experienced several emotional outbreaks in the film. The acting skills they showed are amazing. The performances of superstar, Dan Ike Roy De and Susan Sarandon, are still outstanding. What I have to say is that as the screenwriter and the leading Eric Williams, the performance in the film is not at all like the slightest. The newcomer who has no performance experience, has not fallen in the process of playing with Drew · Barrymore, and he is also the Director of "Home Alone" released at the same time. I have to say that this is a genius who has been kissed by God, otherwise it cannot be explained. Why is Eric Williams so good ... "——" Empire "magazine
"Many people are always complaining about the unsatisfactory reality. After reading" 17 Again ", you will find that you are not unhappy, but all kinds of negative emotions completely cover you and isolate you from what you have. Happiness. But only the protagonist in the film can be lucky enough to leave his original skin and look at himself from another perspective ... "——" The Washington Post "
There are many newspapers that praise the two movies, and some criticisms are inevitable. After all, the two major media groups are no longer powerful and cannot control all public opinion. Moreover, the other four major Film Studio will certainly not let Columbia and Fox is too proud.
"Chicago Sun-Times" directly criticized "Home Alone" as a nonsense work completely separated from reality, the plot lacks rationality, and the teasing of two stupid thieves is impossible to happen in reality, so it is likely to cause young children Wrong boot.
Another "Los Angeles Current News" made a more acute point. In newspaper, the Kevin appearing in the "Home Alone" movie was a big problem with the lens of the toy gun, and called on the review agency to re-review the rating of the film. This piece of news even aroused the attention of the Los Angeles family TV Station. Eric also had some concerns after knowing this matter. In his impression, although the United States was flooded with guns, the control of the gun lens of minors in film and television works was very strict.
Anxiously called the person in charge of "Home Alone" Lester · Reed to inquire about it, Lester reassured him indifferently, and revealed a little hidden inside.
The owner of "Los Angeles Current News" is a shareholder of Universal Pictures. Universal Pictures has an animation 《The Land Before Time》 to be released on November 18. As a competitor for children like "Home Alone", it is normal to do this kind of thing, Columbia Will counterattack this behavior accordingly.
Putting down the phone, Eric sighed, and fell into a scam so soon. At the same time, this episode also gave him a sense of crisis. Compared to those film giants, he is still a humble little shrimp, which is not threatening to the giants. However, once "Home Alone" is released and achieved great success like previous life, then his presence will definitely cause those giants to Be alert, especially the Columbia that is about to be pitted hard.
If at that time, he does not have enough strength and does not want to give up most of the benefits, then it may be the giants who are waiting for him to spare no effort to suppress.
previous life ’s Tom · Cruise is an example. As the movie department starring Tom · Cruise sold out, the share of power and interest he demanded was getting higher and higher. Finally, Tom · Cruise shoots earned money from a movie When there are more than the owner Paramount Pictures, Paramount owner Summer · Redstone directly opened the face with Tom · Cruise on newspaper, and at the same time, the media of Viacom has smeared Tom · Cruise for several years, directly making Tom · Cruise Career bottomed.
"Hi, my dear, what do you think, look sad?" After noticing that Eric had finished calling, he kept pestering beside the phone, and Aniston gently pulled the shirt of Eric.
"Oh, nothing."
Although Eric always looks confident, Aniston still feels that he is worried about the Box Office of the two movies. After all, Eric only has the car left by his father. Everything else that can be mortgaged is mortgaged. Once it fails in the "Home Alone" match, Eric will go bankrupt.
Hold your boyfriend ’s waist from behind and put your face on the back of Eric. Aniston said softly: "My dear, if you have any concerns, just talk to me. Although I ca n’t help, I can still make one. Qualified listeners. "
"I just suddenly felt ..." Eric turned around and hugged Aniston in his arms: "The future road may be more difficult, Annie, will you keep walking with me?"
"Of course, I will." Aniston does not understand the deep meaning contained in the Eric words, but still decisively chose an affirmative answer.
"Thank you, Annie, so do n’t you really go to New York with me? I will discuss with James, it ’s just a ticket."
The release dates of "Home Alone" and "17 Again" are getting closer and closer. The two crews will also go to the New York on the East Coast for publicity. However, as an optional supporting role in "17 Again", Aniston is not participating. Promoted in the ranks of Actor.
I do n’t want my boyfriend to bother about this trivial matter, Aniston shook his head and said: "No, I lived in New York for many years, there is nothing new."
The two men grinded their ears for a while, Aniston pushed Eric away, and turned to pack their travel luggage for Eric.
