Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
With more and more people on party, Michael Eisner, who has only spent more than ten minutes, took the lead to say goodbye on the grounds that there is something to be dealt with, and of course Eric has to give it to him personally.
"Eric, I heard that" The Others "was shortlisted for the main competition unit in Venice?" Michael Eisner asked suddenly when waiting for the elevator.
Eric nodded: "Yes, but this is a horror movie after all, there is not much hope of winning the award, and sending it to Venice is just to brush the popularity, which will help the release of Europe."
"I think this movie is likely to win the prize, as long as the direction of the promotion is correct," Michael Eisner said, the elevator door opened, and the two went in together.
"Propaganda direction?" Eric pressed the elevator button and asked in confusion.
"Uh," Michael Eisner said: "Although" The Others "is a horror movie, I think that this movie can have more in-depth connotations for mining, such as people's attachment to life and death Fear, and the mother ’s sincere love for the two children. The most important thing is that the background of this film is after the Second World War, then you can use the banner of anti-war to promote this horror film to the war Guidance on the harm of humanity is the shadow of war that has long suppressed the body and mind of the hostess, so Grace made a crazy move to suffocate the two children. Now the situation of Europe is very turbulent, and it may break out again if you are not careful Conflict, then, if "The Others" is propagated in the direction of anti-war, and deeply rooted in the hearts of people, the Venice Film Festival jury will show its attitude. It will definitely not let this movie go empty-handed, you must know that film and politics are always separate. Not open. "
Sure enough, **** is still old and spicy. Eric was amazed. He had been trapped in the shackles of the horror movie that was not very popular with the film festival judges. He did not think about other aspects at all: "Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Eisner. Of. "
"The Others" is just a finalist and won an award, and the treatment received by fans in the future will be completely different. Like Oscar, everyone will pay special attention to the Oscar award-winning film. But for those shortlisted films, although the quality will not be much worse than the award-winning films. But still few people pay attention.
The elevator reached the bottom parking lot. The two of them walked towards car of Michael Eisner together. The assistant and driver of Michael were already waiting there.
Michael drilled into car, but did not leave directly. Instead, he beckoned Eric to sit in.
After Eric sits down next to him, Michael Eisner said: "Eric, how about cooperation with Disney next year?"
Eric was stunned. He thought that Michael Eisner was going to talk about the two movies today. He didn't expect the other party to jump directly to next year.
"Mr. Eisner, I can't reply to you immediately. My cooperation with Fox is still very happy." Eric shook his head gently, saying so.
Michael Eisner can see that Eric is somewhat insincere, and the cooperation between the two companies has always been based on benefits. Incorporating personal feelings into it, because it affects factors such as interests, will eventually only break the relationship between the two parties. Among several contacts. Michael Eisner believes that Eric will not be an emotional person.
"This is not anxious, Eric, you can think about it slowly. Regarding today's two movies, the share price quoted by Disney will fully reflect our sincerity." Michael Eisner finished and paused. Then he said: "I also heard that Firefly intends to acquire a new line to establish its own distribution channel, but how do I say it. Robert Shay I have seen it a few times, this person has a strong desire for control, but does not have the talent to match it, and management The way is too subjective, not rational enough, let him help you take care of the company, I think it is not a good choice. "
As the Bentley car slowly left, Eric thought about Michael Eisner in his mind, and connected to some memories of the new line. Michael Eisner's evaluation of Robert Shay is still very pertinent.
Because of the success of the "The Lord of the Rings" series, the new line of previous life was only a little bit of Robert Shay forcibly launched the "The Golden Compass" project, resulting in huge losses, but also caused the new line to lose its independence and was incorporated into the parent company Warner . However, Eric is not worried about this now. If he can successfully acquire a new line, he will only let Robert Shay be responsible for the distribution of the film. As for film production, this part of the power Eric will definitely be firmly in the hands. Let Robert Shay mess with fingers.
Some other Film Studio representatives were sent off one after another, of course, some separate exchanges were unavoidable, but Eric did not make any commitment to let the executives who are interested in the two films talk about the lotus flower. . I sent away the last Amy Pascal and returned to the banquet hall again. party was basically already his own. "The Others" and 《Steel Magnolias》. Two other Actors who were not able to participate in the test film were also received on party. There are other people who are closely related to Firefly. This kind of party must be a certain fake loli. Drew was originally a party creature. I used to like to go to nightclubs before, but since I got entangled with Eric, the girl quit. This 'bad practice', but all kinds of party are participating one after another.
Catch Drew wearing a magenta mini dress in the crowd, knock on the head of small girl and warn him not to drink Yunyun, then Eric went to the other two people, Quentin Tarantino and Lawrence.Bender.
"Eric, good evening," the two saw Eric coming and greeted together.
Eric smiled at the other party: "How is the preparation for" Reservoir Dogs "?"
After hearing Eric ’s inquiry, Quentin ’s tone was a little excited: “It ’s very smooth. Mr. Hansson has provided us with a lot of convenience, and the role has been determined for most. If it is successful, it will be turned on in September.”
"Well, then come with me, and I will show you" Mr. Jin "," Eric pointed in one direction and walked over with two people.
"Eric," seeing Eric approaching, Virginia couldn't help but took a step forward, but soon stopped, this is a public place after all, although her relationship with Eric is well known, it is not suitable for performance Too intimate.
Eric looked at Virginia with a careful look, smiled and hugged the girl, and kissed the girl gently on the cheek. Until the girl could n’t help but shyly refused, Eric let go of her petite The body turned to the tall man beside the girl.
"Hello, Mike," Eric reached out to Michael Madsen.
"Hello, Eric," I was a little unhappy with Eric, so the tone of Michael Madsen was a little cold. This side reaction made Virginia anxious for a while. If it was not Eric, the girl would definitely pinch her brother hard. However, Eric's response to Michael did not mind too much, and still enthusiastically introduced the other party to Quentin and Lawrence.
"This is Michael Madsen, I think he is very suitable to play Mr. King in" Reservoir Dogs ". Michael, these two are Quentin Tarantino and Lawrence. Bender, specific things, you can talk separately."
Since I know that the person recommended by Eric cannot refuse, Quentin and Lawrence are very enthusiastic to greet Michael, at least have a good relationship with each other, and there will be no barriers in the future when shoots.
Looking at the three people who had chatted, Eric left with Virginia.
"Vicky, I heard that you have received some film appointments recently?" Eric took a glass of wine from the waiter and came to sit on the sofa in the corner.
Virginia also sat down next to Eric: "Yes, Kapoor recommended it. There are a few script. I look pretty good, but I have n’t made up my mind yet. I originally planned to ask your opinion first. . "
Eric waved his hand: "Put it all on, at least wait for" The Others "to be released before making a decision. It is estimated that the film that is being picked up will also be released at the end of the year. If Box Office is not good, it will definitely affect" The Others " The word of mouth, and the pay will certainly not be too high. "
"Well, I listen to you," the girl nodded cleverly: "Eric, Michael's attitude towards you is not too good, you ... I hope you don't mind too much."
"Of course not," Eric said with a smile: "If someone dominates my sister, I will not have a good face for him."
"Oh ..." the girl chuckled and took the initiative to defend the man beside her: "You didn't occupy me."
"Of course not, Vicky, I just dominated you, you are already mine."
"Okay," the girl's cheeks rose slightly and her head dropped gently: "Eric, have you been to me tonight? You haven't been in a long time."
"No problem," Eric smiled slightly and narrowly: "Otherwise, shall we leave now?"
The girl shook her head quickly: "Eric, you should entertain others, don't always stay beside me."
"Don't worry, just sent away a few people, I am also tired, take a rest first."
On the other side of party, Elizabeth was holding a glass of red wine while chatting with Julia, but found that the girl was always a little absent-minded, until Julia could n’t help but peek again in one direction, Elizabeth followed Julia's ’s eyes to catch the crook Leaning on the sofa, there is a figure of Dang Erdang. Next to him is a woman wearing a black tube top evening dress, which is Heroine of "The Others".
"Julia, do you like him?" Elizabeth leaned close to Julia's ear and asked softly.
"Ah, this ... no," Julia followed Elizabeth's gaze to reflect the girl's "he". The first reaction in the panic was to deny it, but it may have been suppressed for too long. In addition, Elizabeth's skillful communicative wrist has gained her favor in a short period of time. Julia has unknowingly treated Elizabeth as a girlfriend. After a short period of panic, Julia whispered: "In fact, I ... neither Knowing what it feels like to him, he is a very complicated person. "
"Come with me, let's have a good chat with Mr. Williams," Elizabeth looked at the girl's tangled appearance, directly pulled the Julia's arm, and walked in the direction of Eric in the opposition of the other party. (To be continued)
