Continued to talk about some things, sent Carolyn and Meyer to rest, and Eric opened script in his hand.
In the most popular Hollywood blockbuster series after the new century, 《Pirates of the Caribbean》 is definitely an inescapable hurdle. In addition to the opening first part, the other series of the entire series have almost created global 1 billion USD level Box Office.
Since the beginning of "Cutthroat Island", Eric has been thinking about this matter.
After the cooperation between 《Pirates of the Caribbean》 Director Gore Vybinosky and Johnny · Depp in "Ring", Eric became more attentive to 《Pirates of the Caribbean》 and quickly found a hand based on the name of screenwriter in memory script.
However, the script in front of me is very different from the plot of "Pirates of the Caribbean · The Curse of the Black Pearl" in memory.
The story also revolves around a group of pirates led by Captain Barbosa to hijack the governor ’s daughter in order to lift the mysterious curse, but the actor is the blacksmith Will. Although the captain of the Black Pearl Jack · Sparrow also has a large part of the drama, but only Can only be regarded as a supporting role.
According to some behind-the-scenes details of the 《Pirates of the Caribbean》 series in memory, Eric knows that this is not the butterfly effect caused by its own appearance.
original's "Pirates of the Caribbean. The Curse of the Black Pearl", if Depp is set aside, it is probably a cliché love story that the groom rescues the princess from the bad guys and lives happily together. It can be said that the success of the 《Pirates of the Caribbean》 series is almost exactly the same as the "A Better Tomorrow" series across the ocean. It is a restless supporting role that has stepped into the protagonist step by step, and the film has also achieved phenomenal success.
Simply browse the script, which is basically an outline, close the folder Eric, subconsciously want to send an email to Katzenberg, and tell him to personally take down the script in his hand.
It's just that although the interior decoration of this Boeing 767 is luxurious, it is not only the Internet, but even the phone is not in the cabin, which makes Eric can't help but expect some Boeing 747 with a private communication system to be delivered as soon as possible.
The plane still has an hour to go to Los Angeles. There are no other things on hand at the moment, and it is impossible to contact the outside world. Looking at the 《Pirates of the Caribbean》 script in his hand, Eric picked up a pencil, intending to recall what super IP was missed by himself in the next few years.
It's just such a tidy, Eric was taken aback by himself.
Even if we do n’t say that most of the copyright ’s Marvel super gold mine has been recovered, it ’s just that the three major copyrights of the “Harry Potter” series, “The Lord of the Rings” series, and “Transformers” series have been obtained. Almost every one is enough for a large Film Studio to eat ten. year. Pixar and Disney, the two major 3D Animation studios, can continue to provide Firefly with Box Office and surrounding animation movies with exceptionally rich interests.
Not to mention, Firefly cannot focus exclusively on these big IP movies. In the future, the company will definitely try one or two big production movies free of IP. Although Eric advocates a highly industrialized film production mechanism, if a Film Studio completely relies on big IP, it will gradually lose its most important creativity.
For large-scale production films, the production and distribution scale of six films per year in Firefly Group is already the limit. In this case, according to one 3D Animation movie, two Marvel universe movies, and two original major productions each year, the resources for the production and marketing of large IP movies such as the "Harry Potter" series are somewhat stretched.
An excellent commercial film, if it can not be achieved in the distribution and marketing, it is also difficult to achieve excellent Box Office results.
"Special Force · Cobra Rise" once produced by Paramount Pictures is a very classic negative teaching material.
"Special Forces · The Rise of Cobra" and "Transformers2 · Reunion" were released at the same time in the summer of 2009. The period is only one month apart, just because Paramount put almost all of its energy into the release of "Transformers2 · Return" , "Special Forces · The Rise of Cobra" this production cost as high as 1.7.5 billion USD, but global Box Office only bleak 300 million USD early.
Eric has a deep memory of the hot action shots of the two protagonists in the "Special Forces · Cobra Rise" running on the streets of Paris wearing power mechas. If Paramount can invest enough resources in marketing and distribution, this is definitely considered to be The excellent popcorn blockbuster global Box Office is definitely more than 300 million USD.
It stands to reason that these large series of "Harry Potter" are more reasonable for each of them to be allocated to a large Film Studio, so as to ensure that each IP has been carefully developed through all channels. However, only three big Film Studios can affect Eric.
Among the three companies, Firefly and Metro Goldwyn Mayer have very successful commercial film series. Compared with it, Fox has the right to distribute Star Wars and Miramax and Blue Sky Studios, which are very successful in literary and artistic films. There is not much development on the film.
Eric is very dissatisfied with the original "XX-Men" series controlled by Fox. The entire XX-Men timeline was at sixes and sevens. Most of the episodes of global Box Office only hovered around the 400-400 million USD that was barely qualified, so I thought Do not put the "XX-Men" series on Fox.
But now it seems that Firefly is the main "The Avengers" series, Metro Goldwyn Mayer is temporarily focused on the agent movie universe, and wants to create another XX-Men universe. The resources in hand are only Fox.
However, this time, the control of the XX-Men universe must still be firmly in its own hands as the agent movie universe, and Firefly Group itself must still participate in the distribution of related benefits.
This is not Eric stingy. After all, the entire News Corp and Elizabeth family now only have about 30% of the equity, and all the benefits of the "XX-Men" series are handed over to Fox, and the benefits that can ultimately fall into the hands of Elizabeth are few . What everyone is now pursuing is more control over Hollywood and the media industry. As long as most shareholders are given a small part of the benefits, these people will no longer be fooled by the management of the big Film Studio. The traditional Hollywood benefit distribution rules are actually much in this way.
Eric is now more and more able to understand that the pursuit of control is the most important. Even if a person does not have a penny of personal assets, if he can control a huge industry, the resources of the entire industry can still be provided for. .
He made up his mind. At the same time, Eric decided to speed up the expansion of the Firefly system in Hollywood. After all, half a Hollywood is incomplete after all.
Due to the time difference, the west coast was just over 4 pm when arriving at Los Angeles. Eric received the call from the girl as soon as she got off the plane and hurried to Beverly Hills Manor after saying goodbye to the Carolyn women.
The girl is not on the Trousdale estate, but shopping on Rodeo Drive.
Eric asked the driver to drive to Rodeo Drive and walked into the Gucci store that the girl said, only Natasha greeted him. There are only a few waiters in the shop, and there are no other guests.
"Master, Boss is changing clothes," Natasha explained, and walked in with Eric.
Come to the rest area for guests to wait. Eric did n’t choose a sofa, but just sat down on a round high stool, nodded at the waitress who came to serve coffee attentively, but only motioned to let the coffee On the side table.
Wait for a moment, the girl came out of the dressing room in the middle, wearing a sky blue cotton tube skirt, short sleeves, with a few embroidery at the neckline, but the hem was a little short, revealing two sections of lotus root White thighs. Although the skirt is not a corset style, but the tailoring is very decent, wearing on the girl gives a youthful sense of middle school students.
"Eric," the girl ran over when she saw Eric, hugged Eric intimately, and kissed it a few more times before letting go of him, making a turn in the spot: "Are you beautiful?"
Eric nodded and said, "It's beautiful, but it's too short."
"Oh, maybe I ’m tall again. By the way, I ordered two pairs of leather shoes for you. I just got them back today, you try."
So saying, the girl asked Natasha to bring a shoe box, opened the box and took out a pair of brand-new black leather shoes. The younger daughter-in-law squatted in front of Eric and planned to change shoes for Eric.
Looking at the girl ’s movements, Eric closed his feet and smiled: "Nà, so diligent, let me confess first, is it a disaster?"
"No, people are very considerate," the girl was very dissatisfied with the Eric question, but she did not insist. She got up and handed the leather shoes to a waitress next to her, and pulled a chair. Eric sat down and said, "Eric, Kate want to invite us to dinner tonight, do you want to go?"
Eric was just about to speak. Seeing that the pretty blonde waitress squatted consciously in front of her, she raised her feet in coordination, and then asked, "Which Kate?"
"Kate · Harrelson," the girl said: "Don't she get Heroine of" Spider-Man ", so I want to invite you to dinner to express my gratitude."
Eric nodded, feeling that the waitress who helped herself to change shoes hinted a few times at her ankle, but just slightly closed her feet unknowingly, saying, "Since you agreed, then Just go. "
"Spider-Man" Heroine Gwen Stacy ’s role was only recently decided, Eric actually prefers Kelly Russell with a sweet baby face, but Cameron tends to Kate · Harrelson.
Compared to the slender and petite Kelly Russell, the tall and slender is close to one meter seven, and the Kate · Harrelson is obviously more in line with the aesthetics of Cameron. This girl has just turned 19 this year and is at an age of invincible youth. She has a sweet face that inherits her mother. She smiles and looks good. However, her figure is a little fuller, and it is obviously 'fat and warm'. breath.
Although Eric means Kelly Russell, but his attitude is not so firm, he and the girl have no intersection after all. In comparison, Kate · Harrelson, which is still familiar to everyone, is different. Since Cameron likes it, Eric will agree with it.
The shoes were changed, Eric got up and stepped on it a few times, nodded to express satisfaction, but did not try another pair, but asked the girl beside him: "Have you chosen your clothes?"
"Well, this is the one on my body," the girl said, taking out a credit card from her handbag and handing it to the waitress beside her. It did n’t mean changing clothes. After a while, Eric and the girl They walked out of the Gucci store together, followed by twins carrying a few handbags.
It's just, just after walking out of the store, the flash of the flash light appeared not far from the street. Looking at it, a paparazzi holding a long tube camera was shooting wildly against this side.
Get off the car to help Eric and the girl ’s bodyguard pulling the door to ask if Eric wants to stop it. Eric just shook his head at random. The girl carelessly held the arm of Eric and smiled and posted a note to Eric. The look.
Get in the car and tell the driver to go back to the Trousdale manor. The twin Land Rover with the **** the back follows the Eric ’s car.
Looking at the rearview mirror at will and seeing a motorcycle follow up, Eric frowned, and asked the girl beside her: "How come you have paparazzi?"
Because Eric and the girl have rarely come to the stage now, most of the time the public attention is not too high, plus the status of the two in Hollywood, paparazzi has rarely appeared in the two in recent years. Around people.
After all, tabloid newspaper ultimately depends on attractive news to survive. Those popular stars sex scandal are obviously more attractive than Eric and girl ’s daily life. Moreover, without actual evidence, tabloid newspaper does not dare. It is easy to write the gossip of the two, otherwise the lawsuit will be eaten in minutes. Over time, the two of them will lose their appeal to paparazzi.
Hearing the question of Eric, the girl posted it like a kitten and smiled: "I am now the richest woman in the world."
"Tsk Tsk, listening to this tone is an exaggerated little rich woman's breath, too exaggerated," Eric smiled and shook his head, and I probably knew it in my heart, with the age and gender of the girl, plus this pen under her name The origin of the asset, even if it is not made up, is only a topic of its own, and it is enough to attract too many people's attention on newspaper.
"Haha," the girl smiled and arched in Eric's arms, sprinkled for a while, and the girl calmed down before leaning on Eric and said, "Eric, I now think I have too much money, very Annoying. "
Eric squeezed the girl ’s face and said, "newspaper says what you love, you just ignore it."
"I do n’t care what to say on those newspapers, but it seems that there are a lot of things around me and I ’m so annoyed. Mama came to ask me for money last week, but when I refused, I went to the reporter In front of me crying how bad my life was. I clearly gave her 10,000 USD every month. How many people in Los Angeles can earn 10,000 USD a month, not to mention she does n’t have to work. "
Eric hugged the girl ’s waist and said: "Then give her more, don't let her make trouble, anyway, we don't lack this money. I remember told you a long time ago, there are many in this world Things, we can't avoid it. "
