Speaking of the producer ’s problem, Kathryn Bigelow could n’t help but say: “Why do I need to find another producer, in fact, I can do it myself. ↑ The vertex novel,”

Eric laughed in surprise: "Your proposal is really bold. For projects with more investment than 50 million USD, Hollywood has few Director who dare to ask for Producer in such a confident way, that is often only their own Director work All lost. "

Kathryn seems to feel that this requirement is too much. In Hollywood, Director is a very important rule restricted by the producer. The final editing rights of most movies are often in the hands of the producer, which can prevent it Director unscrupulously followed shoots according to his own thoughts and thus affected the quality of the film, and also avoided investors ’funds being squandered by Director.

Of course, this kind of rule also has a lot of drawbacks. Many originally excellent films, because the producers intervened in the editing and the destruction of the face, it eventually ended up involving Director by the audience ’s bad comments, often released Director many years later Film Studio In the edited version, the film got its name. The most famous case is 《Once Upon a Time in America》 of Italy's famous Director Sergio Leone.

After looking at the woman ’s suggestion, she stretched her thin fingers awkwardly and lifted the split lens paper in front of her. Eric smiled slightly and said, "Of course, the biggest advantage of Hollywood is that it is easier than other industries. Workaround. If you really want to be the producer of "Saving Private Ryan" personally, I can promise you. "

Kathryn raised his head and tentatively asked, "So ... what about the final editing rights?"

Eric raised an eyebrow: "Hey, woman. Do n’t be too intimate."

"Women ..." Kathryn's slightly long voice repeated the words of Eric: "You are discriminatory. Does it mean that I am a man. Can you get the final editing rights?"

Eric stares at Kathryn ’s beautiful face with no traces of years: “If you are a man, you ca n’t even get the position of producer.”

Kathryn could n’t help avoiding the Eric ’s fiery glance: “I warn you, little guy, do n’t do this again, otherwise I wo n’t take it.”

"Are you starting to lose confidence?" Eric asked rhetorically.

"What?"

Eric poses in a cool posture, looking at Kathryn and repeating: "I mean, you are not confident anymore, you are afraid that you will not be able to bear me ... temptation?"

Kathryn's mouth opened slightly and stared at Eric's somewhat "hateful" expression in surprise. Some stayed in disorder for a few seconds, suddenly stood up, picked up the file bag with the script and sub-lens sketch in front, and mercilessly took a few shots on the Eric head: "Little bastard, narcissism."

Eric took a few hits without pain, leaning back on the chair to avoid the woman ’s range of attack, and laughed at the rare gaffe of the woman.

The two of them were sitting in a conspicuous seat near the center of the restaurant. Kathryn suddenly got up and ‘attacked’ Eric, which immediately attracted all the guests who dine in the restaurant. Feeling these strange gazes, the face of Kathryn holding the file bag was instantly stained with a layer of glamorous wine red, and the outstretched arms were mechanically retracted little by little. Putting down the file bag in his hand embarrassedly, he turned around in a hurry and walked quickly towards the outside of the restaurant.

Eric looked at the back of the woman who fled into the desert. The smile on the corner of the mouth is stronger. Ignoring other people's instructions, Eric picked up the opposite document bag and got up to follow.

Kathryn returned to his room, got into the bathroom and washed his face with cold water, the heat on his cheeks slowly receded, looking at himself with a few strands of wet hair in the forehead in the mirror, the woman gently on the face Patted, accelerated the blush on the cheeks and muttered to himself: "Damn guy, **** ... little guy."

Mumbling to the mirror, the door was suddenly knocked, and she wiped her face with a towel, and she walked out. Thinking that it might be Eric outside the door, she stood behind the door and hesitated for a few seconds before she felt that she could not be timid because of his few tunes, which would make him more proud. Um, absolutely not to make that little guy more proud, but ... tempted, really arrogant, arrogant.

I cheered myself, Kathryn pulled the door open, but blocked the door without putting Eric in, and his eyes became cold, his chin slightly raised: "What are you doing?"

Eric watched the proud posture of the woman, and handed over the file bag jokingly: "Master, your things are in the restaurant."

Kathryn looked at the thing in front of it, but it did n’t mean to take it over: "You give it to others, I ..."

Eric stuffed script into Kathryn ’s arms and watched the woman picking up in a panic and wanting to push it back. Eric stepped back and said, “Okay, it ’s just a joke, study script, since you If you want to do Producer, then make a detailed production plan as soon as possible. I have nothing else to do first. "

......

Because this time it is much more prepared than in August, Eric does not need to stay in New York for too long. On February 5, after spending more than half a month in New York, Eric returned to Los Angeles again. Of course, because many people are prepared this time, although the principal of 2billion USD has been invested, but because of the reduction in leverage and the fact that there are really many players in the Pe­tro­leum market, the profit ratio is not as high as last time, and the statistics made by Chris The profit this time is only about four 1 billion USD. However, coupled with the profit in August, Eric already has a huge amount of funds close to 8billion USD. This money is more than enough to fully acquire Disney in the future, and may also do something else by the way.

On the Los Angeles side, since the end of last year, the annual awards season has come to an end. Because of the war, Hollywood ’s awards season this year is not as lively as it was in previous years. It is considered by the public image, even if it is Golden Globe Award. Held quite low-key. But now that the victory or defeat of the war has been determined, it is conceivable that the Oscar award ceremony scheduled for March 24 will still be as beautiful as a thousand years.

Although Eric did not participate in the film and television Golden Globe Award on January 19, it has always been following the trend here, on Golden Globe Award. The two most important works related to Firefly are "Ghost" and 《Friends》. Whoopi Goldberg is not only like previous life. She won the best supporting actress in a musical comedy category without suspense. What surprises Eric is that Nicolas Cage, who replaced Pa Terry K. Switz as Sam, also won the best actor in the musical comedy category, but in Eric, although the performance of Cage is undoubted, the public relations component of this award is more Larger, in addition to the public relations of Firefly, the connections of Coppola Family certainly played a big role.

The subsequent 《Friends》 not only won the best episode of musical comedy in TV series, Aniston also got a best Heroine in musical comedy. Unfortunately, Eric did not attend. Otherwise, you can meet the little girl who hasn't seen for a long time.

Although 《The Silence of the Lambs》 produced by Elizabeth is generally recognized as a hot Oscar, even the limelight tends to overwhelm Francis Coppola "The Godfather3", but it does not seem to be favored by the judges on Golden Globe Award, although the nominations received and subsequent The Oscar nominations announced were almost the same, but only Jodie Foster won the best Heroine award, and all others fell through.

This result has caused Elizabeth to feel awkward for a while, and also specifically called New York to discuss with Eric, but the focus of 《The Silence of the Lambs》 public relations has been on the Oscar award, Golden Globe Award is not too important. And, although Golden Globe Award is called the outpost of Oscar. But it is not Golden Globe Award that really reflects the Oscar award tendency. On the contrary, it is like the Director trade union, Actor trade union or Writers Guild of America, which is a unique trade union. In these awards, 《The Silence of the Lambs》 has received a lot of recognition, so Eric is sure that this session of Oscar will not have too many twists and turns.

As usual, "The Godfather3" should be a big threat. Because Eric was accidentally inserted, Sofia Coppola, which received a lot of bad reviews from previous life, voluntarily withdrew from the "The Godfather3" crew. Francis Coppola invited the young Actress Winona, who was highly acclaimed in acting .Rhett, but this change is not destined to save "The Godfather3" which seems to be a bit of a sequel.

After all, many people know that Coppola does not have any plans for shoots "The Godfather3", but because of the loss of Film Studio operated by Coppola Family in the past two years, Coppola had to promise Paramount Pictures to make this sequel.

It is said that Coppola originally planned to release the film on Easter next year, because Paramount Pictures seems to have urged this film to be advanced more than three months. Correspondingly, the sequel is not as good as the previous two. So far, "The Godfather3" only got the Box Office of 60 million USD. According to the current attendance rate, Box Office who won the Oscar award after enjoying Oscar will definitely not rebound. For this reason, Paramount is not so eager for the PR "The Godfather3" award. Although Coppola has not publicly expressed its position, it is quite dissatisfied in privately that the action of Paramount forcibly accelerating the production progress has affected the quality of the film, and there is not much Mood for public relations.

Therefore, although the first two films of the "The Godfather" series have received the best films, the quality of "The Godfather3" is completely incomparable with the previous two. The possibility of getting the best films is even more slim, because Eric shot "Dances with Wolves" has been cut off, and there is no movie that can compete with 《The Silence of the Lambs》 on this Oscar.

After returning to Los Angeles, Eric only briefly asked about this matter, and put most of his energy into the preparation of Firefly reorganization and "Twister".

After all, even if 《The Silence of the Lambs》 wins the prize, on the surface, it does not seem to have much to do with Eric.

As for "Ghost", although it was nominated for the best film, Eric has no meaning of public relations at all, and Firefly just invested some energy in the Whoopi Goldberg's best supporting actress and best Original Script. Although both Bridget Fonda and Cage were nominated for Golden Globe Award, none of them were finalists at Oscar.

After more than half a year, the development of the special effects software maya hosted by Ed Carmore has entered the final testing stage. Of course, this is only the 1.0 version according to the traditional definition. The main function is to meet the relevant special effects production work of "Twister" , In the production process of "Twister" ​​will continue to invest energy and funds to improve.

The fluid simulation software that was originally handed over to a research team at Stanford University has been completed, and it has been interfaced with Maya and the rendering software renderman. This software is a tool specifically designed to design fluid effects such as hurricanes, waves, etc. These scenes look more authentic.

The problem of special effects was initially solved, and "Twister" began the most important preliminary casting work. Of course, Heroine Eric has defaulted to Joanna Pacula, which cannot be changed. However, the male lead and female number two, as well as the many supporting roles in the movie that have room to play, have also become the targets of major Brokerage Firm competition.

Although many people in Hollywood circles know that caa and Eric have some holidays, the third part of "Home Alone" is still stranded because caa insists on huge pay. But this time, Caa took the initiative to contact Eric in an attempt to fight for the role of the male lead and female No. 2 in "Twister". Many people can see that this is the initiative of Caa, because Hollywood Brokerage Firmcaa, wma and icm are now in a three-legged situation. Caa is not as magnificent as previous life. Michael Ovitz also fell in the top five of the Hollywood power list at the end of last year. Outside.

If it was two years ago, Eric would still be more concerned about the holiday with caa, now he is not too concerned, his eyes have been focused on the entire Hollywood, and caa is no longer the previous life that makes Hollywood all Film Studio feared In the past two years, there have been no rumors of so-called caamanager going directly into the high-level office of the big Film Studio. Therefore, in the face of the active contact of caa, Eric also generously let the deputy Director who is in charge of casting choose to accept each other. Submitted resume.

Eric's movies have been recognized as 'star-making machines'. In each of his previous movies, almost a Hollywood first-line superstar was brought out. With the reduction of Eric production, the competition for "Twister" related characters is fierce. The degree has also reached a very high level. After the cast of "Twister" was revealed, not only caa, but also the other two did not pull at all, and even some Brokerage Firm of the second and third lines also participated, trying to get some supporting roles. Therefore, as long as it is slightly related to Eric, it is trying to contact Eric himself. After all, Eric has the final say in the role. (To be continued ...)
