Meyer's eyes flickered and obeyed the step forward, trying to sit next to Eric, but he reached out and stopped in front of him.
Eric raised his hand to block Meyer, but the hand was not retracted. Gently stroked the girl ’s calf wrapped in a thin silk dress and slowly started to swim upward.
Meyer only feels a few restless little villains walking gently and unscrupulously up from her calf, bringing a bit of numbness and trembling to her, making her breathing gradually become more rapid.
Carefully took a deep breath and calmed down his mind. Meyer suddenly felt that even if he wanted to, he should n’t let his Boss act like this on his own, feeling that the strange hand had already reached his waist. Meyer raised his hand and gently pressed it up, as if whispering: "Eric, already, it's too late, and Carly will come over tomorrow morning."
As soon as the words were spoken, Meyer suddenly realized that he absolutely said a very stupid thing.
Why do you want to mention Carolyn at this time?
Sure enough, when I heard Meyer say this, Eric paused, thinking of Carolyn's peculiar little bitter eyes, the desire just raised by Eric dissipated most. Other women are just fine. Meyer is basically going to get along with Carolyn. If you know you have slept Meyer, Carolyn will be very sad even if you do n’t say anything.
Thinking of this, Eric withdrew his hand, got up and kissed politely on Meyer ’s cheek, and said: "So, go to bed early and good night."
"Well, good night," Meyer nodded and waited for Eric to disappear at the stairwell before Meyer suddenly fell on the sofa, grabbed a pillow and scratched like a cat, and took it fiercely. The head hit the pillow a few times: "Ma Lisa · Meyer, you are such a big fool, big fool big fool big fool."
London is always rare in good weather. Early in the morning on Sunday, although it is no longer raining like yesterday, the weather is still gloomy.
Will Xun Manor, Eric bodyguard came over early in the morning to pick up Carolyn.
"Relax, Mama, I will take care of myself, Eric is also very good for me," hugged again with my parents, Carolyn got on the car at the advice of Madam Wilson, pressed the window and relied on does not abandon Waving his hand to his parents, he told the driver to leave.
Looking at the car driving out of the manor along the Yongdao, Earl Will, who was just holding his father ’s posture, suddenly said to his wife: "There must be something hidden from us in this child."
Madam Wilson glanced at her husband and said, "It should be Jane's thing. Carly and Jane are very close."
“No, I do n’t think so,” Earl Will heard his wife mentioning his sister ’s name, frowned, and sighed again, muttering in dissatisfaction: “Since I ’m back, I wo n’t say anything. Do something peacefully and open a gallery. Does she think she is Picasso? "
Madam Wilson took her husband ’s arm and walked to the castle behind him, saying: "Whatever she likes, just do what she likes, she was always ..."
Half-talked about, and noticed that her husband's face became worse, Madam Wilson didn't say anything.
On the car in the London urban area, Carolyn was relieved. She originally thought that her parents also knew about Eric, but the two were actually not clear. Aunt specifically told her not to tell her parents about Eric, she did not take the initiative to mention it, but, in the past two days, she was always a little cautious when facing her parents. To be honest, she still hopes to let her Papa Mama know that Eric is her cousin.
The car did not take Carolyn to Kensington, but rushed to the vicinity of Regent ’s Park. Carolyn saw Eric and Meyer at a cafe in the north of Regent ’s Park.
The tabloid newspaper paparazzi of London is notoriously difficult. Even though several gossip newspaper of News Corp will not chase Eric, other paparazzi of tabloid newspaper has no worries. If it were other times, it was nothing but just going to visit Olivia today, Eric had to avoid the media.
Therefore, it took me a lot of thought in the morning before Eric completely shake off the entanglement of paparazzi.
Olivia ’s gallery is near Regent ’s Park, although not far away, but for the sake of caution, the three of them drove by.
After a few minutes, the car stopped outside a four-story white European-style villa. Eric got off the car with Carolyn and Meyer and glanced around. This is a somewhat secluded street. There is nothing around. The shop, even the four-storey villa in front of it seems more like a private residence than a gallery. Not only does it not have any signs, there are fences and steps outside the door, and there is a deliberate rejection of passersby Alienated breath.
Eric is still wondering if the wrong place was found. The door of the villa was pushed open, and Olivia came out of it, still dressed as a black shirt and white casual pants, with a faint smile on his mouth.
When Carolyn saw Olivia, he flung intimately, hugged his aunt, and then turned to stand next to Olivia.
Eric also stepped forward, gently embraced Olivia, and introduced Meyer, and Olivia took the three of them into the villa.
The villa looks like an ordinary residence from the outside, but the interior is a standard gallery layout, an empty hall, white walls, and soft lighting. On the walls, there are watercolor paintings in a realistic style. The content is mainly based on the scenery. The contents of the farmhouses in the morning, the castles in the mountains, and the small towns on the seaside are varied, but they are obviously all from the same person. Eric does not know much about painting, but also knows that all successful artists have a very strong personal style.
Olivia was quietly beside Eric. When he walked in the hall, several people walked along the spiral staircase to the second floor. There are still various paintings here, but Olivia brought Eric. To the rest area by the window on the second floor, a few single sofas surround a wide coffee table, and a small bar is beside it.
This is not the first time that Carolyn has come. I ran to make coffee for a few people. Olivia and Eric sat down on the sofa together. Perhaps I was puzzled by Eric and explained: "I do n’t like it. Disturbed by strangers, usually familiar friends or manager bring guests over. "
Eric thought of Carolyn mentioning Olivia ’s anecdote about opening a small shop on the island of Minox in Greece, she roughly understood what her attitude towards this gallery was, and she did n’t need to live by this gallery, she smiled. , Said: "This is not bad."
Olivia smiled and said, "How about you, are you busy this time?"
Eric took the coffee handed over from Carolyn, held it in his hand, and nodded: "It has been flying around, came from New York last week, and then will go to Australia, and then fly back to Los Angeles, just around the earth. Circle. "
Olivia is also holding a coffee cup, reaching out to help Carolyn next to her to manage the blond hair in her ear, and then looks at Eric and said: "You have done a good job, there is no need to make yourself so tired."
Eric just nodded. Olivia also knows that Eric even wants to let go of something, but it ’s not that easy, so I did n’t mention it anymore. I just asked Carolyn and Meyer to take care of Eric's life.
It's a casual chat, and it's noon unconsciously.
This villa was originally the property of Wilson Family. The two floors downstairs were converted into galleries by Olivia. The third and fourth floors are Olivia ’s residences. Unlike the galleries on the first and second floors, the layout is on the third and fourth floors. It is very warm, it is totally a feeling of home.
The women prepared lunch together. After eating, Eric suggested to go to Songlin Film Studio in the afternoon.
The sleeping valley town set of "Sleepy Hollow" was built in a farm near Film Studio in pine forest. Tim Burton himself was also in London. As a large project with over 100 million investment, Eric must still pay attention.
Carolyn and Meyer will naturally not object, and Olivia nodded in agreement, everyone will start soon.
After more than an hour, he joined Tim Burton at Pinewood Film Studio, and the group rushed to a nearby farm. This is a fully real scene of a tens of acres of sleeping valley town.
The sky is still gloomy in the afternoon, but this atmosphere just sets off this quite Gothic town, standing at the entrance of the town, looking at the town ’s residences, churches, and churches immersed in a special and strange atmosphere. Wooden bridges, sentry towers and other buildings, standing next to Eric, Olivia suddenly couldn't help but say: "This is really beautiful."
Eric ca n’t help but agree with Olivia ’s point of view. Although the atmosphere is a bit weird, the town ’s architectural layout is obviously carefully designed and very in line with the beauty of the film composition. Here, the photos of shoots can be used directly as a movie poster Even, Eric can feel that as long as the photographer of the film is good enough, this movie shoots comes out, and every frame in the future, according to the memory, is completely computer wallpaper level.
The film is scheduled to start shooting in September, and several other sets and various props are in production. However, the candidate for the photographer has already been decided, which happens to be Emmanuel Lubeski. Although many people later knew Lubeski through the long lens in "Gravity" or 《Birdman》, in fact, Lubesky used the natural light lens better, which is exactly the photography style required by "Sleepy Hollow".
Tim Burton is a quirky, lonely genius who likes to be immersed in his own small world. In addition to movies, Eric does not have too many other topics when dealing with each other. While visiting Sleeping Valley Town, Eric listens to Di Burton explained his shoots ideas.
Tim Burton originally wanted the film to be dark, but this does not meet the tone of a commercial film, not to mention a large production with an investment of over 100 million. Therefore, script finally has a quite warm ending. The two sides reached agreement on script, and Eric did not interfere with Tim Burton's play too much.
After spending the weekend at London, the next day, Eric set off again and rushed to Queenstown, New Zealand.
This trip far exceeded several previous flights. From United Kingdom close to the Arctic Circle to New Zealand in the southern hemisphere, the straight-line distance was close to 20,000 kilometers.
At present, there is no passenger aircraft with a range of 20,000 kilometers. The Boeing 767-200ER on the Eric is the longest range in the 767 series, but it only has a 2,000-kilometer range of 10,000. Therefore, from Departing from London, it is necessary to stop and refuel in Singapore during the first arrival to XN. The entire journey time is expected to exceed 24 hours.
The time of XN is 11 hours faster than London. Eric departs from London Heathrow Airport on Monday afternoon and arrives in XN, Australia. According to XN local time, it is already five o'clock in the morning on Wednesday.
New Zealand is far from being a Middle-earth tourist resort that was later ignited with the "The Lord of the Rings" series. The whole country does not even have a decent airport. Whether it is Wellington Airport in the North Island or Queenstown Airport in the South Island, it is not enough to let The medium-sized Boeing 767 aircraft took off and landed smoothly.
Leaving Boeing 767 at XN International Airport, Eric borrowed a small Gulfstream III jet through the relationship of the Elizabeth family before taking off from XN again and arriving in Queenstown, South Island, New Zealand.
When Eric was a trapeze, North America and Box Office of the first weekend of "The Matrix2" were also released. After creating a record-breaking 9950,000 USD midnight field Box Office data, count the following three days of the weekend, "The Matrix2" At the end of the first weekend, Box Office accumulated to 83.66 million USD.
Although it did not break through the Box Office record of 91050,000 USD created by last year's "Casino Royale", it also easily exceeded the Box Office data for the same period of 73750,000 USD of "The Day After Tomorrow" two weeks ago. The concern is whether "The Matrix2" can maintain sufficient Box Office stamina.
Entering the third week, affected by "The Matrix 2", the fall of "The Day After Tomorrow" during the three days of the weekend increased to 55%, and the Box Office slipped to 18.91 million USD on the three days of the third week and weekend, accumulating Box Office 1.9 400 million Week Box Office can steadily break through 200 million, but according to the current trend of Box Office, it is difficult for The Day After Tomorrow's North America total Box Office to break 250 million USD.
From the current situation, the first week of "The Matrix2" Box Office will not be much worse than last year's "Casino Royale", or the first weekend of "The Day After Tomorrow" Box Office is not much worse than last year's "Casino Royale" More, the first week of the three movies Box Office can break through 100 million USD, the key to affecting the total Box Office of North America is the next Box Office drop.
Due to the word of mouth, last year's "Casino Royale" Box Office fell for several weeks in a row at 30%. At the same start, the seemingly small drop in percentage point has a very significant impact on the final Box Office. Assuming that it is also the first week of Box Office of 100 million USD, according to the 30%, 40%, and 50% decline figures, the total Box Office is exactly the difference between 400 million, 300 million, and 200 million.
However, although the future Box Office trend of "The Matrix2" is still unclear due to the polarization of word-of-mouth, the Box Office that surpassed 80 million USD in the first weekend is enough for many media to ridicule Firefly's behavior of abandoning the production of the "The Matrix" series .
