Kapoor glanced at it and said, “It ’s like this, probably in 1985, Al · Pacino starred in a major production of Warner with an investment of nearly 30 million USD, and he only got more than 300,000 USD ’s Box Office. Too big to choose a temporary interest. I heard that Al is seeking a comeback recently, so I added his list. "

Remember 《Scent of a Woman》 The delicate and violent inside, powerful from the inside out aura Showing the charm of men to the ultimate blind lieutenant colonel, Eric Can't help but ask: " Kapoor , Is it possible for us to Al Sign in to uta? "

Kapoor hesitantly said: "I can try my best. Al · Pacino is after all one of the four great geniuses Actor that rose in the 1970s. Although the film in 1985 failed Box Office, but the performance of Al did not have any problems, he But he has been nominated for the best actor of Oscar four times. Since he has released the signal of comeback, I believe that many Brokerage Firm will scramble to win, and we have no advantage. "

Eric knew that what Kapoor said was all facts and had to say: "No matter what, we have to try to contact. By the way, the invitation to the actor of 《Pretty Woman》 will be sent as soon as possible. If possible, I hope Al · Pacino Can play Edward. "

"Okay," Kapoor replied, pointing to a few Actor lists selected by Eric: "So, Eric, do you want to notify these people to audition?"

"No need for the moment, please contact Al · Pacino first. If the other party refuses, we will contact these people again."

In the next few days, Eric started non-stop supporting role auditions, filming scenes, and contacting the shoots venue. Every night, it was necessary to draw a sub-scene script until late at night.

At the same time, Eric also took the time to contact a Los Angeles girl boarding high school, and broke a sponsorship fee. Although it was less than ten days before the Christmas holiday, I still drove the fake Loli who was in the villa to school. The girl who was doing nothing and thinking was really terrible, and she had awakened the night attack skills without a teacher. If you continue to make trouble, there will definitely be trouble.

"Eric, good news, bad news, listen to that first?" On the new day, I just sat in the office and read the budget report for a while. The Jeffrey door rushed in without forgetting to knock.

Eric was still mostly happy when he saw the expression of Jeffrey. He smiled and said, "Come on first, be surprised."

Jeffrey took out a contract from the briefcase and handed it to Eric: "Lamborghini agreed to our sponsorship proposal. They are about to launch the new Lamborghini ghost sports car. After listening to my explanation of your previous words, The other party quickly agreed. You see, this is a contract, the entire 1 million USD. The news spread that those peers must be jealous, and how many movies will not necessarily earn 1 million in the end. "

Eric took the contract and looked at it. Lamborghini did agree to pay 1 million USD advertising costs, but only if 《Pretty Woman》 North America Box Office reached 100 million USD. According to this base, Box Office is lower than 100 million USD, and the advertising fee needs to be refunded proportionally. Of course, the higher part , Lamborghini will also be added in proportion.

This kind of advertising sponsorship is very common in later generations, so Eric does n’t have much excitement, and even jokes Jeffrey: "Jeffrey, you are too happy, if our movie Box Office does not meet expectations, it ’s still Advertising fees are to be refunded. "

Jeffrey calmed down and thought of this possibility, hesitantly said: "Should ... no way, Eric, haven't you always been confident in this movie?"

Eric waved his hand: "Okay, I'm not teasing you anymore, what about the bad news?"

"The bad news is that I contacted several famous jewelry companies. The other party was unwilling to pay a penny for sponsoring Vivian jewelry. Only one jeweler reluctantly agreed to provide us with a set of jewelry to assist shoots."

It ’s strange that the other party has to agree. Eric laughed and said: "Jeffrey, although you make me happy, but you may forget, the identity of Vivian is a prostitute. It ’s good that the other party can promise to provide jewelry shoots. . "

"It is indeed the case, I am a bit under-considered." Jeffrey quickly understood it and tentatively said: "Eric, if I change Vivian into a white-collar worker, I can definitely ..."

"Don't even think about it, Jeffrey, it's stupid to modify script for advertising sponsorship. You should be your producer, and don't think about the content of the video. I will listen to your suggestions."

"Okay, okay, I know I have a conviction ..." Jeffrey smiled awkwardly and said: "Eric, Al · Pacino have responded, I heard that you want to invite him to play the leading role?"

"Kapoor is in contact, but Kapoor called me last night and said that Al · Pacino is now in New York. It is said that the other party wants to perform a play on Broadway for a while."

"Then you have to make up your mind as soon as possible," Jeffrey persuaded: "It's Christmas holiday soon. If the actor hasn't decided yet, the plan to start shooting immediately after Christmas holiday will definitely be stranded."

Eric nodded his head confidently: "Relax, I have a decent size."

......

In this era, USD is still quite strong. The advertising sponsorship fee of 1 million USD is definitely a huge sum of money. Twenty years later, Beverly Mansion, worth tens of millions of USD, now only has a million-level price. Lamborghini's upcoming ghost series sports car is priced at only 240,000 USD. After spending such a large sum of money, in order to achieve the best publicity effect, Lamborghini quickly released the news.

For a time, all kinds of envy, jealousy, and hate filled the newspaper page.

《Los Angeles Times》 ridiculed: "It is rumored that the production cost of Eric Williams's new film is only 7 million. With only an advertising sponsorship of Lamborghini, one-seventh of the investment was recovered. It seems that our young miracle Director is not only a film genius , Still a business wizard. "

"Hollywood Reporter" raised doubts: "The sponsorship fee of 1 million USD, is Eric Williams planning to shoot a sports car advertisement for more than one hundred minutes? According to the title of 《Pretty Woman》 revealed by Firefly Film Studio, it is difficult for me to contact it with Lamborghini sports car When I got up, I began to doubt the quality of Eric Williams's new film. "

These are just the more moderate words. The latest issue of the "Film Review" violently wrote and criticized: "Eric Williams is like a **** who broke into the Hollywood disruption. The advertising sponsorship fee of 1 million USD is simply a film art. Once the success of Eric Williams ’s placement of advertising models is successful, it is conceivable that, driven by huge profits, those profitable producers will in large scale implant ads into movies in order to earn more profits. . Therefore, we call on all people who love the art of film, not to walk into the cinema to watch Eric Williams's new film. "

Unfortunately, the style of "Film Review" is somewhat high-end. Although United States people like to watch movies, they are not too interested in this serious movie magazine, so this remark is only set off in the circle of those old-fashioned filmmakers. After some waves, it did not cause much impact.

The external disturbances have not caused any impact on Eric. He is still proceeding with 《Pretty Woman》 preparations in an orderly manner.

Of course, in addition to the unsettled actor, the preparation of 《Pretty Woman》 has come to an end. The remaining trivial trivial matters Eric basically do not have to come forward, all Jeffrey is running around.

"Eric, if you insist on inviting Al · Pacino, you may need to go to New York." Kapoor said with a tired face sitting opposite Eric.

Eric got up and made a cup of coffee for Kapoor in person, and asked, "Can you tell me the reason?"

"Al · Pacino has some doubts about your script and has been hesitant. So he proposed to talk to you in person, but he could not come to Los Angeles himself, because during this time, he performed 《Richard III》 at a Broadway theater. "

Eric thought about it, he had planned to go to New York to watch Aniston during Christmas, and if he declared his sovereignty without showing his face, little girl would lose a lot if he fell into the arms of others.

"No problem, I just want to go to New York, Kapoor, can you go with me then? Maybe we can try to convince Al to join uta?"

Kapoor nodded: "I also have this plan, Al currently only has a private Manager person, and no Brokerage Firm, no matter what, I always have to fight for it."

"That's it, buy a plane ticket as soon as possible, tonight or tomorrow. If I can't talk, I have to fly back to contact other male Actor auditions."

After discussing this matter, Eric drove away from the company and drove to a girls ’school near the Rose Bowl in the north of Los Angeles. Drew was just sent here a few days ago.

As soon as I met, the girl started crying and complaining: "Eric, please, please change me to another school, OK, or should I switch to Scientology and Satanism? Catholic schools are so boring. , And all women, I will be taught silly. "

Eric smiled and tapped on the girl ’s head. His soul came from the East and he had no faith. The reason why Drew was sent here is still listening to Jeffrey's suggestion. The style of the Catholic boarding school is very rigorous, and you can properly restrain and polish the Drew's over-tripped and unbridled character.

"Okay, Drew, I do n’t want to transfer. I paid a lot of sponsorship fees. I ’m here to tell you that I will go to New York in the next two days. If everything goes well, it ’s estimated that it ’s Christmas. Come back. You have the keys to my home. If you do n’t want to go home on vacation, you can go to me. If you have anything, please call Jeffrey and he will help you. ”

Drew heard Eric, and said unhappyly: "Are you going to find Aniston?"

Eric did not deny it, nodded, and explained a few words before driving hurriedly away in the eyes of Drew.
