After Christina left, Eric lay in the bathtub with his eyes closed to refresh himself, thinking about the things just now, and unconsciously came up with some ideas.

Changed his clothes and went downstairs comfortably.

The Los Angeles in December was shorter, and after seven o'clock, it was already twilight outdoors, but the villa hall was brightly lit and full of people.

party has already begun.

Noticing the appearance of Eric, many people came up to say hello, Eric smiled to deal with it. After a while, Drew walked over with a 30 brunette. Several people chatting around Eric recognized the identity of Drew and the woman next to her. They knew that they might have a business to talk about, and all left with interest.

The brunette beside Drew is named Barbara Brockley, the current head of the family behind the 007 series.

Since the production of the 1961first part007 movie "Dr. Connaught" began, the control of the 007 series of movies has been in the hands of the Brockley family. Most viewers are accustomed to linking the 007 series to Metro Goldwyn Mayer, but in fact, before the 1980s, 007 and Metro Goldwyn Mayer did not have much to do. The copyright of this series has always belonged to the Ion Production Company controlled by the Brockley family. In the 1970s, Harry Suzman, a partner of Ion Production, broke the relationship with the Brooklyn family and sold half of the company ’s shares to United Artists. Later, United Artists was bankrupted by Heaven’s Gate and was acquired by Metro Goldwyn Mayer. Then, Metro Goldwyn Mayer only owned half of 007 series copyright.

However, although neither Metro Goldwyn Mayer nor Ion Production Company has absolute control over the 007 series, Metro Goldwyn Mayer needs to continuously open the 007 series in order to maintain the company ’s operations because of the struggle in the past years. In the series, Metro Goldwyn Mayer, which is one of the seven major Film Studios, is in a weak position. All the links of the film from script to release are firmly controlled by the Brockley family.

The Brockley family can be said to be entirely dependent on the 007 series. Barbara Brockley is about 35 years old this year, but from the age of 20, this woman has been in the process of making the 007 series As an assistant Director, and then from the assistant Director, assistant producer all the way to the position of producer, and after her father Kobe Brockley retired, with his half-brother Michael · Will Xun thoroughly master 007 The production of the series, and for more than ten years, she has only done this one film series.

Of course, the strong position of the Brockley family in the 007 series has disappeared with the merger and integration of Metro Goldwyn Mayer in the past year.

Prior to 30 for many years, although the 007 series has experienced many troughs, none of the 17 007s that have been released so far have made a loss, and all have made money. This has also caused Metro Goldwyn Mayer to be strong for the 007 series. Dependence, had to make various compromises with the Brockley family.

But now that Metro Goldwyn Mayer has a series of hot blockbuster copyrights in hand, this dependency no longer exists. Metro Goldwyn Mayer does not need to make all kinds of compromises with the Brooklyn family in order to start this project, but instead proposes integration in Eric. 007 "," Mission: Impossible "and 《Charlie's Angels》 and other series created the Metro Goldwyn Mayer agent film universe, although the Brockley family was very reluctant in their hearts, they still agreed to the plan very knowledgeably.

Although the initiative was taken back, Eric did not mean to kick the Brockley family. After all, they can say that most of their energy has been used to build the 007 series. The production experience is definitely more complete than the activation. The unfamiliar producers are too rich. The two women came to the front. Eric hugged Barbara Brockley very well and said, "Good evening, Barbara, you are so beautiful tonight."

Barbara Brockley gently hugged Eric, smiled after letting go, "Thank you, Eric, this villa is really the same as everyone said, I now hope that I can have Such a house. "

"Then you can come to visit frequently in the future, by the way, why didn't you see Michael?"

Eric refers to Barbara Brockley ’s half-brother Michael · Will Xun, Barbara Brockley explains: “He recently handled some company affairs at United Kingdom.”

Greeting a few words, the Drew next to it pointed to the rest area not far away, and said: "Eric, let's talk over there."

Eric nodded, took a glass of champagne from the waiter tray, and sat down with the two women on the sofa in the corner.

"Eric, I heard that you plan to personally direct the next 007. I was so happy that even Papa had personally asked about it." After the three sat down, Barbara Bullock immediately Turning the topic to the 007 series, said: "However, I have read the first draft of script. I think that compared to the past, even if it was just released in the summer, is this 007's style change a bit big?"

Eric asked without delay: "Barbara, can you be more specific?"

Barbara Brockley said: "Like this time in script, I always feel that the Bond in this sequel has developed in the direction of a tough guy, Pierce should be more gentlemanly, and, recently In the past few years, we can all see that the representatives of the tough guys such as Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger are going downhill. The 007 series tough guy route is not a wise choice. "

"You mean, we should continue to maintain Pierce Brosnan's performance style in" GoldenEye ", right?"

Barbara Brockley nodded and said: "" GoldenEye "is very successful, so I think there is nothing wrong with this."

Eric stared at her Barbara Bullock without evading her eyes, and after recollecting what she had just said, she understood the intention of the other party. In the final analysis, Barbara Brockley still just wants to gain more control over the 007 series.

"If I remember correctly, the global Box Office of" GoldenEye "should now be around 350 million, the major ticket warehouse countries are probably already released, then the future numbers will not change much. 350 million USD's global Box Office, relative The production cost of 70 million USD is, of course, very profitable. If you continue to produce according to this method, the next few will still bring us good profits. But, Barbara, do n’t you want 007 to go further? "

Barbara Brockley bit her lower lip and stubbornly said: "Unless you can predict the result in advance, no one knows whether you are going forward or backward."

I heard that Barbara Brockley had a tendency to harden with Eric. Drew leaning on the side of Eric raised his chin. What he was about to say, I felt Eric patted on the back of his hand and became quiet again.

"When everyone else is moving forward, if you stop, it is actually a kind of retreat." Eric appeased small girl, and the stallman said to Barbara Brockley: "So, let's not discuss These inexplicable life philosophy. Let's talk about some more practical questions. About the change of script style, on a deeper level, I have no intention of turning the Bond series into a tough guy movie. I just want to make Bond more flesh and blood. Some, he should be injured, fail, or even cry, instead of a neatly dressed gentleman after a series of fighting explosions chasing the car. "

"But Bond should have been a gentleman, and the audience will not mind the details you said, they just want to be able to see what makes them blood boiling."

"With the development of special effects technology, there will be more and more movies that can make blood boiling, and the requirements of the audience will become more and more demanding. At this time, if you ca n’t make Bond more soulful, the audience will Will quickly get bored and then abandon this series. "

"..."

What else Barbara Brockley wanted to say, but was blocked by Eric and said: "Let ’s say that, Barbara, I can make clear to you the power that the Brockley family enjoys in the 007 series It will continue forever, and the share of benefits you have enjoyed in the past will not change. If you want, you can still be the Producer of the 007 series, but the premise of all this is that the 007 series must meet the overall interests of Metro Goldwyn Mayer development, if you still I want to firmly control all the power of the 007 series as before, I can tell you now that there is no such possibility. Moreover, the current Metro Goldwyn Mayer will not compromise on Ion Production Studio, now we leave 007, you can still survive well, but Ion Production Studio will be anonymous. "

After hearing Eric's more and more serious tone, Barbara Bullock developed a strong anger in his heart, but this anger soon disappeared.

Eric patiently left the time for Barbara Brockley to consider, squeezing the champagne in his hand, looking around the guests, and inadvertently caught a small pink figure wandering around, smiling, Waving at Christina, the girl immediately floated over.

"Hey, Drew," Christina came to a few people, but happily greeted Drew first, making Eric cry and laugh, it seems that the girl's weight in this girl's heart is a little higher than him.

Drew just nodded casually, Eric patted himself on the other side, Christina sat down restrainedly, and looked curiously at Barbara Brockley on the diagonally opposite sofa.

"Eric," After a moment, Barbara Brockley spoke again, and there seemed to be a bit of compromise in the tone, saying: "The 007 series is the hard work of my Papa life, I only hope that anyway, You can treat it very carefully. "

"Of course, if I do n’t like this series very much, I wo n’t personally direct a sequel," Eric heard Barbara Brockley said, knowing that the other party no longer intends to seek any more control, follow He promised, after finishing, he patted the thin shoulders of Christina next to him, and said: "Oh, Barbara, I recently had an idea. Well, let me introduce you first, this is Christina · Aguilera, Christy, This is Ms. Barbara Brockley. All the 007 movies you have watched are produced by their family. "

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Brockley, I like the 007 series very much." Although I do n’t understand what Eric means, Christina is still very clever to get up and shake hands with Barbara Brockley. Forget to compliment.

"Hello, Christy," Barbara Brockley also had some doubts, and even felt a little bad, plus the compromise that was just made helplessly, the tone also seemed absent-minded.

"This is the case, the 《Charlie's Angels》 series second part is already in the late stage, and there is still one remaining. After the trilogy, although there will be interspersed, the angels will probably enter the renewal period, which is early. The established strategy, and in front of me, I think Christina may be one of the next generation of heirs to angels. "

The voice of Eric fell, Christina's eyes lit up, Drew looked at the little girl with a smile, and Barbara Brockley was confused.

Eric did not sell the lawsuit, saying: "Since 007 and 《Charlie's Angels》," Mission: Impossible "will have various crossovers, so, you think, what is the youngest Bond girl in the history of 007 series, how about this gimmick?"

"Ah?"

"Wow!"

"Really?"

Looking at the different reactions of the three women, Eric patted the small head of Christina and said to Drew and Barbara Brockley: "Of course it is true, and this is the result of my deliberate thought."

Since there is the oldest Bond girl gimmick in the original space and time, then why can't there be the youngest Bond girl gimmick in this life, the Christina at this time is still under sixteen years old, after this episode of Bond girl, the aura is added, and it will be added in the future. Another one is the identity of Charlie's Angels, so it can even be used as a kind of bond, which can also better connect several movie series.

Drew maintains absolute trust in Eric. Although some unidentified little eyes flashed in my eyes, looking at Christina ’s expression also gave the little girl the urge to shrink her neck, but Drew ended up with nothing. Say.

But Barbara Bullockly maintained a very cautious attitude and said: "Eric, if this is the case, the original script will need to be overturned and rewritten completely."

"No, it won't be so troublesome, haven't we always been looking for a more reasonable reason for Wisper's ultimate betrayal of Bond?" Eric said, patting the little head of Christina again, saying: "Look, this is not Yes, in original script, this reason is too far-fetched in order to save her boyfriend who was kidnapped. Now, she has a relative sister who was kidnapped and then betrayed Bond. This reason seems more reasonable. "(To be continued) .)
