Eric got off the car outside the office building of Fox Headquarters in Century City, and came to the office of Elizabeth in a familiar way, but was stopped by the little secretary who was holding a microphone in the outside and was calling. Although he recognized Eric at a glance, The other party still summoned courage and said: "Yes, sorry, Mr. Williams, do you have an appointment?"
Eric looked at the fair-faced blonde girl in front of her, and asked with great interest: "Can I make an appointment now, um, I looked at my watch, Eric continued: Just make an appointment at 4.05 . "
It happened to be at 4:05 in the afternoon. The young secretary of course understood that Eric was making fun of herself. She knew better the relationship between Eric and Elizabeth. It was just that she had just joined the job in recent days. The Eric should be put in directly.
Eric smiled when he saw the other person in embarrassment: "Okay, just kidding, does Liz have any guests now?"
The little secretary shook his head
Eric said: "Then call her and say I'm here."
The little secretary responded, put down the microphone that was still connected, and pressed the landline of Elizabeth again. He said a few words, and then signaled Eric to go in.
Eric pushed the door and walked into Elizabeth's office. Elizabeth was burying himself in a pile of documents on the desk. Eric noticed that Elizabeth stopped wearing a white shirt for a moment when he came in, but did not raise his head to greet him. Meaning, smiled, bypassed the desk, leaned on the edge of the table next to Elizabeth, and said: "How did you change such a young little secretary, don't understand anything."
No response.
Eric grinned at the corner of his mouth, reached out and flicked gently on the Elizabeth crystal earlobe.
Ah!
With a whisper, the whole body of Elizabeth shivered slightly and raised his face angrily: "You bastard, I am working. What are you doing at this time?"
"Nothing, I just came back from San Francisco and suddenly missed you. Just came over to see it."
Um ... hum
There was a flash of joy on Elizabeth's face, and then his face stretched: "I have nothing to look at. I don't have an agent movie universe here."
Oh, it turns out that today's little flame is here.
Eric smiled, wanted to reach out and pinch the earlobe of Elizabeth, said: "Metro Goldwyn Mayer does not have an animation studio."
Elizabeth snapped the hand over Eric and retorted: "That's obviously different."
"Okay, do n’t be angry, come and kiss."
Eric comforted softly. Looking down again, this time Elizabeth just dodged a little, letting Eric kiss his lips.
When he kissed and left, the tone of Elizabeth was still sour, saying: "" Mission: Impossible "," Night at the Museum ", 《Charlie's Angels》, and now there are 007, so many hot series, you are about to spoil her."
Eric explained with a smile: "You are not clear about the situation of Metro Goldwyn Mayer. Without the positive stimulation of these selling series, after so many years of decay, you can not recover the vitality. And Fox is not very good now, is this year gold? Kerry's "Big King", North America total Box Office should be able to reach 100 million 80 million, the cost is only 40 million, the rate of return can be higher than any big block this summer. And, I heard you Recently, I was negotiating with Lucas, want to restart 《Star Wars》, what is the result? "
After Eric mentioned 《Star Wars》, Elizabeth's mood improved.
The Star Wars series has been popular for more than a decade. The restart has been mentioned all these years.
And, according to the agreement of the year. Although nearly two decades have passed, Fox still has the rights to issue Star Wars series. Although the profit of this series belongs to Lucas. But just relying on the distribution of the distribution rights in each channel can also make Fox earn a lot of money.
Elizabeth said: "I have been in contact with Lucas a few times. The project may be ready for preparation next year, and the specific release will have to wait at least until 1997."
Although the tone of Elizabeth is still somewhat unwilling, Eric knows that this time is two years earlier than previous life, which is pretty good.
"This kind of thing, it's useless to be anxious," Eric said, picking up the file in front of Elizabeth and casually saying, "What are you busy with?"
"This year's script of" Archive "is just right, how about you help me see?"
The sixth season of "Archive" is about to be produced. According to the plan, after the end of the seventh season next year, neither Brad? Pete nor Famke? Jensen will renew the contract, and this classic science fiction will be completely over.
Eric has completely let go of this project long ago. I have n’t even watched the content of the previous two seasons. I only know that the ratings of this episode are very stable. At this time, the new season of script was opened, and even a somewhat strange feeling occurred.
See Eric looked at script intently, Elizabeth got up and pressed him on his office chair, said: "You look first, I will make coffee for you."
Eric nodded. Anyway, it ’s not too urgent for the branch in the digital field. Put script on the desk and continue to turn the page.
After a while, Elizabeth came with two cups of coffee, took another chair and sat down next to Eric, just about to ask, but Eric had already drawn a few pages from script and said, "This episode I want it, let them reimagine an episode to make up. "
"Hey, let me help you look at script without letting you grab my stuff," Elizabeth protested dissatisfiedly, and also curiously picked up a few pages of script drawn from Eric.
She has just roughly viewed script, and just glanced at it at this time, probably recalling the content.
This episode is about a series of mysterious deaths. When traveling at the age of a middle school in New York, a student had a premonition of a plane crash, so he got off the plane before takeoff and took some other teachers and classmates off the plane. . After the plane took off, an explosion soon occurred, killing all the passengers and crew on board, but some of these people who had temporarily disembarked survived.
However, all this did not end, it was just the beginning. Fortunately, several people got off the plane in the following days. They died in various accidents. This incident was classified as a mysterious event, which attracted Inspector Mueller and partner Scarlett to investigate. But in the end, they still failed to stop the few Survivors that died, and did not find out any possible reasons.
Turn over the screenwriter information. Elizabeth said: "I think of it. This episode of screenwriter is a Chinese. They have a lot of mysterious doctrines. This episode was written by him according to those cultures. It seems that it is what death wants to kill ..."
There is no doubt that the story in front of me is "Final Destination" of previous life. Eric just didn't expect to see this script here, and it was almost used in "Archive".
Smile and listen to the vague words of Elizabeth. Eric explained with a smile: "There is a fatalism in the East. Their death stipulates that everyone has a certain life span. When the time comes, you must die, and no one can escape the death of death. This is the script. Theory. "
"Well, that's it," Elizabeth nodded and immediately remembered, said: "I have forgotten that you can speak Chinese. So do they have any strange customs?"
Eric pretended to think about it for a moment and said, "Yes, their men can marry seven wives."
"Nonsense." Elizabeth pouted, raised script in Yang's hand, and lifted his chin: "If you want, change things."
Eric showed an expression that seemed to have made a lot of determination: "Otherwise, I will make you cheaper tonight."
"Bah," Elizabeth reached out and gently nipped at Eric's waist.
Eric grabbed her little hand and said, "Okay, no more trouble, I just had a script for you. Now I can just exchange it with you. This script is very suitable for the new line."
"Ah. What script?" Elizabeth was intrigued.
Eric briefly talked about script of "Austin Powers", he originally planned to let the new line develop this series. But as the relationship between Firefly and Metro Goldwyn Mayer became closer and closer, Eric finally decided to give up.
Just like Disney will never spoof Snow White and Cinderella, Metro Goldwyn Mayer will never spoof the 007 series. Although Firefly and Metro Goldwyn Mayer do not seem to have much contact on the surface, Eric has recently been leading the Metro Goldwyn Mayer agent film universe plan. In this case, it is very inappropriate for the new line to produce the spoof 007 series "Austin Powers".
After listening to the description of Eric, Elizabeth generally understands why Firefly does not want this script, sour and sour: "You are really enough to protect her."
"I will protect each of you."
"Uh ..."
Elizabeth yelled, moved slightly, and then realized that the temptation in Eric's tone was plural, reached out and slapped gently on Eric: "greedy guy."
"Okay, no trouble," Eric patted Elizabeth's shoulder and said: "Tomorrow let screenwriter of this episode contact the new line, I will take the time to send you the script of" Austin Powers "to you , By the way, there is one more thing, if possible, the Heroine of "Austin Powers", try to pick from the angels of Victoria’s Secret. "
"I remember, but if their acting is not good enough, I will not agree."
"This episode of Heroine is a vase. Where does it need acting, as long as it is beautiful," Eric smiled, looked at the table, and said: "It's almost time, please wait for dinner and talk by the way. Business. "
"I'm not going to come to me for just knows for no reason," Elizabeth mumbled, and began to pick up things, preparing to leave early.
The two left the company together. Eric originally wanted to call Julia. I only knew after asking, Julia went to United Kingdom.
"" Shakespeare in Love "?" In a restaurant in Beverly Hills Manor, Eric heard the name Elizabeth and felt a little surprised again.
It turns out that Weinstein Brothers has now started to prepare the film "Shakespeare in Love", and has invited Julia as Heroine.
"Julia feels that Daniel Day-Lewis is best suited to play Shakespeare, so he rushed to United Kingdom and asked him."
After "In the Name of the Father" and "Innocent Age" two years ago, Daniel Day-Lewis was just married for the past two years, and his output is temporarily low, and his output is not high. Eric is not optimistic about Julia this time to United Kingdom purpose.
However, Eric quickly remembered another thing. "Shakespeare in Love" was in the original time and space. It was definitely the big winner of Oscar in 1999, and also got a best water.
It's just that there is "Forrest Gump" this year. Eric absolutely don't believe that Weinstein Brothers can use "Shakespeare in Love" to give "Forrest Gump" to public relations.
"What is the detailed production plan for Miramax, I mean, should n’t it be released this year?"
"I had this plan," Elizabeth glanced at the menu in his hand and glanced at Eric, saying: "However, Harvey is very optimistic about this project, but he also knows that if it is released this year, this film will be on Oscar. I definitely cannot win "Forrest Gump", so I will push it to next year. Julia is now rushing to United Kingdom, and I want to ask about the Daniel Day-Lewis next year. "
"Oh, this is fine," although the previous life Oscar has some water behind it, the overall Oscar strength of "Shakespeare in Love" is undoubted. If it hits "Forrest Gump", it may be another one in the history of Oscar massacre.
Ah, the tragedy.
There is "Forrest Gump" this year, then next year ...
"Titanic".
If "Forrest Gump" is what everyone wants, then "Titanic" is absolutely a stunned Oscar with Box Office.
Elizabeth noticed the change in Eric's complexion and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I mean, did Julia intend to take a Oscar movie or something?" Eric asked after considering it for a moment.
Elizabeth nodded: "She wanted to try, so she invited Daniel Day-Lewis. However, as long as she can nominate this time, she is not in a hurry anyway."
Julia is only twenty-eight years old, Actor regardless of men and women, want to get the Oscar little gold man before the age of 30, it is not so easy.
Listening to Elizabeth's words, Eric said: "Why not wait two more years, I mean, if you don't come to Daniel Day-Lewis this time, maybe you can wait another two years."
Elizabeth was stunned for a while, and probably understood it, saying: "Next year ... you, will there be a movie of the" Forrest Gump "level here?"
Eric shrugged: "I ca n’t be too sure about this kind of thing, but the possibility, um, is really great."
Elizabeth took a long breath and then said to Eric: "You still let others live." (To be continued.)
