"I want to know, why did you let Kapoor push away all the film appointments, if not some people directly handed over script to me, I do n’t know that I ever received these invitations."

Julia became more and more excited, and finally pointed directly at the nose of Eric to condemn: "Disney's's" Lost Los Angeles ", but the 6 million USD's remuneration, you did not ask my opinion, you just pushed away 6 million USD, how can you be so overbearing, I am not your puppet, so please respect me a little ... "

Eric leaned back on the back of the sofa chair, letting the girl vent her emotions like a mad little cat. At the same time thinking of Disney's's "Lost Los Angeles", I couldn't help laughing. Because the screenwriter of this script is called j · f · Laughton, it is the original screenwriter of previous life 《Pretty Woman》.

In these days in Richmond, many Film Studios directly ignored CAA ’s blockade of uta and issued film appointments to several 《Pretty Woman》 starrings such as Julia and Al. If uta has always had only a few small Actors, Hollywood Film Studio may have no regard for the influence of Michael · Ovitz, and refused to use uta's Actor with the idea of ​​one more thing than one less.

But now, with the fire of 《Pretty Woman》, uta has two top beams of Julia and Al, and other supporting roles such as Jason · Alessandra are also famous. The drive of interest directly makes many Film Studio ignore the scrutiny of caa, especially Six Great Film Studios which is both hateful and helpless to caa. Eric even maliciously guessed that the six majors simply sent a series of invitations to utaActor with the intention of plugging Michael · Ovitz.

Al · Pacino waited patiently for the 《Scent of a Woman》 promised by Eric, so his film appointments were all directly resigned, and Al had no comments.

And Julia cannot be so hasty. Among the received script, Kapoor screened it out, excluding script which has a very low asking price and at first glance looks bad, and the remaining script communicated with Eric by phone.

So Eric knew the script "Lost Los Angeles", and when he heard the name of screenwriter, Eric was curious and asked Kapoor to give him a copy of script fax.

It was fun at first glance. J.F. Lawton obviously changed the original "3000" again and turned it into a love story with the main character as the main line. As mentioned before, in the original time and space, the original script of 《Pretty Woman》 was the black drama film named "3000" that reflected the survival status of Los Angeles prostitutes and prostitutes. Finally, it was modified into a romantic comedy in the process of shoots.

In this "Lost Los Angeles", the outline of the story is that the actor travels to Los Angeles. As a result, he not only gets lost, but also steals all his luggage. His career is quite successful, but his life is an idiot. Under the circumstances, being temporarily taken in by a kind-hearted prostitute, after some twists and turns, another pair of princes and Cinderella walked happily together.

Anyway, Eric can see at a glance that this story is in the same vein as 《Pretty Woman》, but it cannot be said that people have copied it, because the story has been modified very cleverly, and film giants like Disney cannot let Eric grasp the handle of plagiarism.

In Eric's opinion, if this story is very similar to 《Pretty Woman》, if you shoot it again with Julia for Heroine, you will definitely not lose money. After all, the movie budget is not high.

But if you want to sell again in Box Office like 《Pretty Woman》, it is basically impossible. Just like a person who has just eaten a bowl of rice and is already full. If you change to Apple or have a glass of juice, you may still be able to eat it. If you serve another bowl of rice ...

"Hey, have you listened to me, can you still laugh?"

The girl ’s question sounded in her ear, and Eric pulled her thoughts away from the deity, and saw that Julia had deceived herself to her side, with a touch of anger on her face.

"Are you finished?" Eric asked the girl's eyes seriously.

"Uh," Julia nodded, facing each other, the girl suddenly realized her gaffe, and sat back quickly and obediently.

She's used to flattering praises and praises these days, and the whole person will inevitably swell. But after seeing Eric change a serious expression, the girl suddenly remembered it. It looks like ... this guy in front of me doesn't need to please himself, but himself ...

Thinking of this, Julia involuntarily hugged his arm and unconsciously rubbed it twice, bowed his head slightly, and glanced conscientiously at Eric.

“I ’m in Richmond these days, I ’ll talk to Kapoor on the phone every day for a while, and the next movie of Al has been set, so the discussions are all about your film appointments. As for the movie“ Lost Los Angeles ” "I also specifically asked Kapoor to give me fax a copy of script and read it carefully in the past."

When I heard that Eric was so concerned about himself in private, Julia felt a little guilty about his behavior.

"Sorry." The girl said apologetically.

Eric waved his hand: "I did n’t ask you for credit. I just wanted to tell you that I have n’t forgotten what I promised that night. I said I would take a girl named Julia · Roberts to Vivien Leigh, Audrey · The height of Hepburn's legendary Hollywood actresses. "

"Sorry." The girl's voice rang again.

"But I am a little disappointed with you now, this is only the first success, it makes you so impatient, what do you want to do?"

Eric gradually contained reprimand in the calm tone, and the girl couldn't help but want to refute: "I ..."

Eric interrupted the girl's words to justify: "Now, you have fame. As you said, Disney has already offered you a remuneration offer for 6 million USD. Few actresses in Hollywood can reach this height. If you are short of money, go for a loan, and the bank is quite generous with Hollywood as a popular star. What you have to do is to consolidate your position carefully. If you want to go further, you ca n’t be too cautious. ”

"I understand."

“No, you still do n’t understand, I feel like you are wronged. Take Lost Los Angeles, for example, 6 million is indeed a very high price. Tom · Hanks last year ’s Box Office broke 100 million. Big only took 2 million, but if you take this movie, it is equivalent to consuming the Box Office appeal you accumulated with 《Pretty Woman》. This is not a problem of one plus one equals two, but a subtraction. Have you seen it Which star has continuously made two films that are almost completely similar in a short period of time and have been a big success? This principle is the same as those of Hollywood's big-selling series. They are waiting for the expectations of the audience for several years. Only after reaching the highest level is the shoots sequel. "
