Nicole quietly listened to the conversation between Eric and Wu Baige. Although most of the time, Wu Baige was talking, but from Eric from time to time, he said, "This is not possible ...", "I think maybe it can be ... For words like ', Nicole still quickly understood that the rhythm of the dialogue between the two was still controlled by Eric, which made her completely relieved.
Although Nicole has only been in Hollywood for two or three years, with the rise of fame and status, Nicole has regarded herself as a part of Hollywood. Therefore, like many other people, she is deeply in the first place to enter Hollywood. Of outsiders have Basic Instinct distrust. If the project has nothing to do with Eric, and the producer insists on using a Hong Kong Director, she has already voluntarily quit the cast.
The time passed by one minute and one second, and when the sky was dark outside the window, the satisfied Eric said: "Mr. Wu, come here today. I ’m glad that we share many ideas about shoots. Our cooperation will be very pleasant. "
Wu Baige also smiled and stood up: "I hope so."
Although many of my shoots ideas have been rejected by Eric, the situation is now much better than he thought. At least, Eric personally promised that as long as the two sides agreed on the shoots concept before the film starts, then in In the process of shoots, he will get enough power, which is what Wu Baige wants most.
After all, in Hollywood, most of the time Director is just a wage earner higher than the rest of the crew, especially those big production movies. Director will not only be constrained by the producers, but even accommodate the big names Actor, and Eric gives him such a promise. Wu Baige absolutely does not doubt that his power in the crew will be flooded in the future. After all, the young man opposite is one of the most powerful people in Hollywood, although he is not very young.
When a group of people walked out of the meeting room side by side, when walking across the corridor, several people including Nicole fell behind. Eric said to Wu Baige next to him: "Mr. Wu. You must have done Hollywood before you came." Know enough. "
Wu Baige nodded, not knowing that Eric would suddenly mention this.
Eric went on to say: "I know there are many outstanding filmmakers in Hong Kong. However, Hollywood is very exclusive, and the rejection of people of color will be more obvious. In the future when shoots. You will definitely encounter these."
Wu Baige is not subject to all kinds of hidden discriminations all year round like the local colored people of United States. Of course, he does not realize the deeper meaning in the Eric words. He just said: "Relax, Mr. Williams, If this happens, I will focus on the big picture. "
"No, forbearance is useless," Eric shook his head and said: "If you want to be recognized by Hollywood. The only way is to bring enough benefits to the filmmakers. As long as you can make money for Film Studio , Whether you are a yellow or black person. They will treat you as a guest. "
"I will definitely try my best," although Wu Baige said so, but there was some disbelief in his tone. Any movie is an investment gamble. Who can definitely win?
"I have watched many of your movies," A Better Tomorrow "," The Killer "," Courage of the Gallant "and last year's" Across the Sea ". This is also the reason why you will receive this movie, but. I just The reason why many of your shoots ideas will be rejected is because those things may be suitable for Hong Kong movies across the ocean, but in Hollywood, it will not work. So, although we have reached an agreement, I will give you enough power, But I also hope that you can maintain your shoots style while conforming to the rules of Hollywood. You also know my identity. I can bear the success or failure of a movie, but you ca n’t afford it. "
Wu Baige certainly can hear Eric saying this out of good intentions. Although he did n’t know that the two sides met for the first time, the young Hollywood tycoon ’s good intentions came from, but this did not work. Stop Wu Baige's gratitude: "Mr. Williams, rest assured, I will never let you down."
Eric smiled and said nothing more. As a fan of the previous life shootout movie, he made these reminders to Wu Baige, but now the positions of the two parties are very different after all. "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" is messed up, so he can only return to Hong Kong obediently. However, because of the rush of time in this life, Wu Baige didn't say "bold words" like "don't go back to Hong Kong to make movies", even if you go back, there is no psychological burden.
After Director is in place, the next step is the choice of the leading actor. In "Mr. & Mrs. Smith", male & female leads plays account for 80% of the total length of the film. Therefore, in addition to being handsome, this leading actor also needs There are enough acting skills and aura.
Because it is script written by Eric himself and also serves as Producer, as long as Hollywood has a schedule and qualified first-line actor basically has expressed their intention to participate in the performance, even many of the more extensive second- and third-line actor through all Various relationships have contacted Eric himself.
"Eric, I think Mel Gibson is good. He is the actor of" Lethal Weapon 3 "starring Warner in the summer, and he can definitely promote the Box Office of" Mr. & Mrs. Smith "," Peter Guber said at the seminar about the actor.
The age of the actor in "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" is limited to 30 to 40 years old. Hollywood actor has a long shelf life. The actor at this stage is often the most masculine stage. Eric listens to Peter Guber If so, look down at the materials in front of you. So far, the candidate actors selected by the crew include Mel Gibson, Bruce Willis, Liam Neeson, Kevin Costner and so on. Even manager of Sylvester Stallone has submitted an audition application.
After the disastrous defeat of Box Office of "Rocky 5," Stallone has been in the low point of career for the past two years. Although the other party's manager directly called Eric, the conditions proposed are also very sincere, but Eric quickly rejected By the way, Stallone is not a fake action star. But the sullen face was definitely a disaster for a slightly comedy-style action movie.
"No, Peter. Mel Gibson does not work, he gives too much wild and uninhibited feeling, the actor I want, it is best to have a touch of gentlemanly style in the sexy, Mel Gibson can not touch the gentleman," Eric said shaking his head. Although Mel Gibson was notorious for being anti-Semitic in the original time and space. But this has nothing to do with Eric, in Hollywood. It is difficult for people with moral cleanliness to survive, he just feels that Mel Gibson is not suitable.
"What about Bruce Willis?" Peter Guber also mentioned a heavyweight actor, Bruce Willis, which is at the peak of his career with multiple action films.
Eric looked up helplessly and said, "Peter. What we need is a suitable actor, not just considering their Box Office appeal, you let Bruce Willis replace Schwarzenegger as The Terminator, or let Mel Gibson perform" Die Hard " "Do you think the two movies will be successful?"
Peter Guber waved his hand: "Okay, Eric, then you have to have someone to choose. We have been discussing for a week. Can't we consume it like this?"
Eric packed up the materials in front of him. Stand up and say: "Come here today, I will go back and think about it, I will arrange an audition in these two days. If not, expand the scope of the audition."
......
Going back to Cliff Peak Manor, Eric just got off the bus, and saw a red Ferrari sports car driving across the manor ’s corridor, passing by Eric with a light breeze.
After Ferrari stopped, the tall and slender girl in tight black leather did not get off immediately. Lie on the steering wheel and take off the toad mirror on his face to give a charming smile to Eric: "Hey. Honey, can't you recognize me?"
Eric smiled and shook his head, watching the Ferrari smile with a wild Famke Janssen, Eric felt a flash of light in his mind, but failed to grasp.
Famke Janssen did n’t know what Eric was thinking, pushed the car door and got out of the car, came over and took the arm of Eric and said, "Go, what are you doing here?"
"Don't, I seem to ... let me think about it."
Famke Janssen stopped, looked at Eric with doubt, and waited patiently.
"consider as finished, let's go," After a while, Eric gave up struggling and pulled Famke Janssen towards the villa: "How come today, it is Oscar now, don't you need to participate in PR party?" >
"Is there no nomination, what's the use of participating in party," Famke Janssen said with some helplessness, "Thelma & Louise" won multiple Oscar nominations, but the original time and space double Heroine nominations did not appear, Famke Janssen originally I want to win the popularity of a female lead nomination for a female match, but TG only reported a best Heroine for Susan Sarandon. She also said that she is just a newcomer. Even if she is reported, she will not necessarily be nominated and will waste TG's public relations resources. Of course, Famke Janssen knows that the women of Elizabeth are playing carefully. It is estimated that if it was not Eric who spoke in person, she could not get the characters in "Thelma & Louise" at all, but Famke Janssen was too lazy to talk about these things with Eric.
However, seeing Famke Janssen's sullen appearance, Eric has roughly guessed the ins and outs of the matter: "Your performance in" Thelma & Louise "is still very good. I will talk back to them about how they can do this. "
"Cut, you are willing, that's three Ohs," Famke Janssen said teasingly.
Eric embraces the waist of Famke Janssen and says seriously: "In my heart, you are all unique, no one is more important than others."
"You're really a big talker, uh ..." Famke Janssen was about to continue speaking when he kissed his red lips with Eric.
After kissing for a moment, I felt Eric's hand slowly sliding down from his waist. Famke Janssen quickly pushed away Eric: "No, this is outside."
"Then we go back to the villa, how about I cook the food for you at night?"
"It seems ... not expecting anything at all," Famke Janssen laughed, and the cooking skills of Eric were so-so. Moreover, the habits brought by previous life made Eric not fit the appetite of the women around him.
Eric looks ‘dissatisfied’: “Hey, it ’s too intimate, I ’m busy all day and come back to cook for you, at least you have to praise two sentences?”
"consider as finished, let me cook dinner," Famke Janssen said.
"Then we are together."
The two walked into the villa with a smile and had dinner. Eric got into the study and Famke Janssen followed.
"I haven't seen you this wall for a long time," Famke Janssen walked along the side of the wall full of drafts with his hands on his back. .
Eric whispered and sat down at the desk looking at the list of auditions brought back by the male Actor, holding a pencil in his hand and taking notes occasionally.
For many Hollywood movies, the longest delay is often script. Many movies script have to be revised many times. However, "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" directly passed the most difficult hurdle, plus two The big Film Studio has a green light, and the preparation of this movie can be called extremely fast. Now as long as the actor can be selected, the crew can enter the early stage of running-in.
Famke Janssen shook around in the study room, and finally came to the desk of Eric, reached for the table and leapt gently to the wide desk, pulled a pencil and paper knife from the pen holder in front of Eric, and pulled the ashtray Come over and sharpen the pencil carefully.
"Hey, why do you always use pencils?" Famke Janssen asked after cursing a pencil and fiddled with it in his hands.
Eric smelled the faint body fragrance of the girls around her, and said casually: "Habit, this can make me look different. Occasionally, I can be used to pick up girls, watch, and hook one."
Famke Janssen froze for a moment, and soon understood it, smiled and raised his long legs to pick on Eric: "You can't be serious."
"Seriously, that's habit, there's nothing else," Eric smiled and put aside the material, turned to the leather chair and looked at the girl: "Okay, look at what you have been talking about and saying, Well, what the hell? "
Famke Janssen twitched and said a little embarrassedly: "Did you launch another movie recently?"
"Brad Pitt?" Eric asked with a smile.
"Okay, you guessed it, he invited me to dinner yesterday," Famke Janssen said, noticing the face of Eric, and quickly explained: "It was with his manager, you scared him that time , He did n’t dare to be alone with me. "
Eric is certainly not the original actor who did not think of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith", but even if he does not agree with the previous suspicion, Fox who owns half of the copyright of "X-Files" will firmly oppose it. After all, if Brad Pitt is fired by this movie, then How to shoot "X-Files"? (To be continued)
