Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
"Underworld" is a project that Eric personally finalized. Although the budget is only 20 million USD, it is now a low-cost production, but he has been following up in person. In addition to providing a lot of classic lens design of "Underworld" based on memory, in order to ensure the shooting and action style of the film, Eric also took white pigeon Wu La as the producer.
The film started shooting in September last year, and now it's more than half finished. Eric just saw the sample last week. Although Heroine was replaced by Natasha · Hunschüch, Director is no longer Ren Wiseman, but Under the double control of Eric and white pigeon Wu, the new version of "Underworld" is definitely superior to original in quality.
In all fairness, according to the new line's release plan, it is obviously more secure to put this movie on the summer file, but only after a few seconds of hesitation, Eric made a decision.
If you want to promote 3D and IMAX movies, you ca n’t do it without taking some risks.
"Although they are all night shows, as long as you pay attention to the brightness during the conversion process, this film is really suitable for making 3D movies," Eric thought while saying: "I will talk to Kenneth next time, this one I will personally take care of the matter. In addition, I remember that IMAX also has a "Return to the Cretaceous", which can also be used to fill the vacancy of the film source. I will see if there are other suitable films. I will pick another one. It must be enough. "
After talking about these things, breakfast was almost the same. Katzenberg left the restaurant first, and Eric and other Julia ate their own food slowly, before saying: "Are n’t you agreed with the crew of" Erin Brockovich "to read script, am I Let people send you over? "
Julia also knows that it is impossible to haunt a man all day long, so he came to embrace Eric intimately, and took the initiative to leave.
Put Julia into the car in person, and Eric will return to the Headquarters building.
In the morning, the company will convene the annual Film Industry business summary and recall. Eric came to the large conference room of Headquarters, and the senior management of the group has basically arrived.
Eric sat down next to meeting table, and the secretary of the conference room began to distribute materials to everyone.
As the meeting materials were distributed one by one, the voice of whispering involuntarily sounded in the meeting room.
Eric opened the folder in front of him and looked at the glorious Box Office list in his hand. Although everyone must have obtained relevant statistics before this, he still understands everyone's mood at this time.
At the end of the year, films such as "Star Wars Episode 1: The Threat of the Ghost" are still in the release state. Therefore, the Box Office ranking list on the data only counts until December 31 last year.
Glanced at the Box Office leaderboard data again, Eric couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
The top ten films of the 1998 North America local Box Office ranking are roughly as follows:
1. "Charlie's Angels3", 3.2.2 billion USD, MGM.
2. "Ring", 2.8600 million USD, NL.
3. "Mission: Impossible3", 2.6600 million USD, MGM.
4. "The Day After Tomorrow", 2.5300 million USD, BV.
5. "The Matrix2", 238 million USD, AB.
6. "Star Wars Episode 1: The Threat of Spectre", 2. 1.8 billion USD, FOX.
7, 《Ted》, 2.1.2 billion USD, NL.
8. "Scorpion King", 1.9300 million USD, Uni.
9. "Austin Powers2", 1.8600 million USD, FOX.
10. "The World of Chumen", 1.2.5 billion USD, Par.
It is not difficult to see from this list that although the top ten films of the Box Office rankings, only The Day After Tomorrow of Broadway Publishing Company (BV) and Ring of the new line Film Industry (NL) are directly from Firefly Group. 》 And 《Ted》, but it is obvious that seven out of ten films are from the Firefly system, such as Bowei (BV), New Line (NL), Metro Goldwyn Mayer (MGM), Fox (FOX) and other major release labels. Even the "The Matrix2" of Anplin Film Industry (AB) is inextricably linked to the Firefly system, and the "Scorpion King" and "The World of Chumen" that barely squeezed into the list can only be ranked. Position at the end of the list.
Eric understands that the mood of everyone in the conference room will be a little complicated at this time. After all, most of these films should be directly from Firefly Group as long as Eric is willing. In this case, Firefly Group can even create a golden age. In the victory period, Metro Goldwyn Mayer failed to create a miracle.
However, standing in the personal position of Eric, he is very satisfied with this list.
After all, if you leave all the videos of "Charlie's Angels3" and "The Matrix2" in Firefly, in the case of limited distribution capacity of Firefly Group, it is not said whether these films can continue to use the original Box Office potential, even if they have really achieved similar Box Office, then Firefly Group will also become very dazzling on this list.
Now, distributing this series of films under different labels, although the discerning people have a look at which of the just knows films are related to Firefly, it also gives a lot of people who are unwilling to face reality to steal the bell. Shame cloth.
Recently, Hollywood has already appeared a sign against the Firefly system. It is conceivable that if this layer of shameless cloth is not present, the situation will definitely become more tense.
However, considering this year's release plan, Eric has some headaches.
Compared with the relative silence of last year, there are five blockbuster films that Firefly Group Bowei will release directly this year, including the Easter Enemy of the State, the summer Iron Man and Cars, and the end of the year. "Gravity" and "The Lord of the Rings First Song", it is not difficult to imagine that these five films definitely have the potential to squeeze into the top ten of the annual Box Office rankings.
Moreover, from next year onwards, Firefly Group's average blockbuster distribution size will definitely be more than a few. Counting Metro Goldwyn Mayer, Fox, and Columbia oddly, the entire Firefly system is likely to rank all the top ten in the Box Office ranking list. Overwhelming, in that situation, although it makes people blood boiling, but it will also bring more pressure to the entire Firefly system.
However, it is impossible for Eric to stop expanding because of these considerations.
The meeting started quickly, but because of these things in my heart, the whole process of Eric was a little absent-minded.
The meeting was held in the morning, and I had lunch with you at noon. I arrived at the Firefly cinema in Playa Vista at more than two o'clock in the afternoon.
In the late stage of "Gravity", it has been a long and intense production process. As long as it is in Los Angeles, Eric spends a large part of the week on this movie.
Today there happened to be a Heroine shot that needs to be dubbed again. Eric rushed to Firefly Studios. Jodie and his own assistant were already waiting in the post-production studio.
After the movie was killed, although I have seen a few faces, Jodie ’s attitude towards Eric is obviously struggling. She is a very independent woman and does not want to be one of the many lovers of Eric. The charm exuded from the little man makes Jodie a little difficult to resist. Therefore, Jodie's attitude towards Eric is also somewhat erratic.
Because it is only a few shots, the dubbing time is not long. After half an hour, Jodie ended his work.
After watching the woman pack things, she intends to leave, Eric keeps: "Or go to my office and sit, you must be fine this afternoon, right?"
Jodie hesitated and nodded.
The two left the center of gravity later and came to the administrative building where the Eric office is located. Entering the office, Eric found that Jodie looked nervous, and he deliberately pulled his little assistant in. He could n’t help laughing.
Pulled out his wallet from his pocket and turned it over. When he found no paper money, Eric looked at Jodie and reached out: "Give me your wallet."
Jodie took a small step back subconsciously and heard Eric just wanted his own wallet. He couldn't help but squint him: "You even want my wallet, but you are Eric Williams."
Despite that, Jodie took out the wallet from his handbag and handed it to Eric.
Eric opened the wallet of Jodie, took out a USD banknote from it, and handed it to the little assistant behind Jodie who tried to pretend that he was not a light bulb: "Nà, go out and buy sugar, do n’t need to be here We are. "
Looking at his little assistant ’s head being sent out by Eric, Jodie finally reacted and could n’t help but rolled his eyes at Eric fiercely, grabbed his wallet and said, “You guy, I I thought you were going to do something. "
Eric personally walked over to the coffee machine and rushed the coffee for the two, laughing: "Yeah, I absolutely do what you think I want to do, so let your assistant follow up, right?"
Jodie did n’t answer Eric, but could n’t help but blush and saw Eric busy with his back to himself, so he relaxed a little, trying to keep himself calm and walk to the sofa in the office reception area to sit down and be lazy Lazily looking downstairs through the glass window behind the sofa, the view here is very good, you can see the studio area in front and the smart business LOFT in the digital field, think about it, his vision of his residence seems very good, especially It was Cliff Peak Manor's shell villa, and suddenly I had some thoughts about going to see it.
However, my thoughts just fluttered a little, and Jodie heard a faint voice around me: "Now how good it is, the two of us can finally be alone together."
Jodie inexplicably feels that this sentence is very weird from tone to content, and even could n’t help but hit a small excited spirit, turned around and saw Eric with a bad smile on the coffee table with a coffee, only realized When I was fooled, I couldn't help but lifted my foot and kicked gently on the Eric calf.
Eric smiled and put the coffee on the coffee table, grabbed the woman ’s ankle swiftly, sat down on the sofa, smoothly placed the woman ’s two legs on her knees, and took off a black high-heeled shoe from her foot , Laughed: "You actually wore high heels today, did you show it to me specifically?"
Two calves were hugged by Eric, Jodie leaned slightly on the sofa, feeling a little soft all over him. When he heard the man ’s words, he rolled his eyes slightly: "Eric, I suddenly found out that you It turned out to be such an arrogant guy. "
"No, there is something wrong with your description. A man ’s self-confidence far exceeds his personal ability. That is called arrogance. I think I have always been a very humble person."
Eric said, and took off another high-heeled shoe of Jodie. Although the woman wore high-heeled shoes, she was still a pair of men's jeans with a slightly wide trouser legs, but it was just enough for Eric to reach out and get into the gap.
Feeling that the calf was directly caught by the man, Jodie was a little bit softer, and there was no strength to break away, maybe there was no idea to break away in my heart, I tried to grab a pillow and hugged my chest. 'I violently abandon' and let the man do it, and whisper dissatisfiedly: "Eric, you bastard."
"Don't wait and praise me later, I don't feel it now."
"Bah!"
Opening his eyes confusedly, I found that the light in the room was a bit dim. I remembered the things in the afternoon. Jodie secretly regretted it. It ’s ridiculous. Moreover, I let the little man succeed so easily Too.
Moreover, the bedroom next to the office turned out to be a bedroom. Hmm, this bad guy, there must be no bad things done on weekdays.
Thinking that other women may be lying on this bed underneath, although there is no cleanliness, Jodie still feels very uncomfortable.
So he shrunk in the bed and turned around. He reached out and explored a little, and found that there was no one on the other side of the bed, and even the sheets did not have any residual temperature, which means that the guy must have left long ago. It turned out that he was left here alone, and some small grievances involuntarily occurred.
What is the situation now, perhaps, I should be far away from that guy in the future, at least, at least, absolutely not let him always succeed so easily.
Thinking so confusingly in my heart, the bedroom door was pushed open, Jodie stiffened, but did not pretend to sleep, the light in the bedroom turned on, Jodie turned around, his eyes leaned brightly on the pillow The man who walked in, a simple white shirt, straight trousers, and that angular face.
I noticed that my feeling for the man in front of me was becoming more and more obvious, and Jodie suddenly felt a little panic.
What's wrong with yourself?
Eric came to the bed, noticed the woman ’s twinkling eyes, helped her pluck her long hair off her cheek, and smiled: "What's wrong?"
"No," Jodie shook his head and said, "Now, what time is it?"
"It's already six o'clock. I set a place in a restaurant on Venice Beach and went to dinner together."
Jodie is hesitant: "Is there next door, is there a restaurant on the ship, will you be found eating outside?"
"You ca n’t always eat on the boat," Eric laughed. "And, it ’s okay to be found. Everyone must think I ’m your good buddy ... ah, light, it hurts."
Begging to avoid the little hand pinched by the woman on her waist, Eric reached over and rubbed it, saying, "Okay, shall I help you dress?"
Jodie immediately shook his head: "You go out first!"
Eric was not reluctant, got up and walked out, said: "You can take another bath, I will wait for you outside."
Jodie watched the bedroom door was closed and stayed for a while before getting up and starting to wear clothes.
