The props group has been busy for more than an hour, and the props needed by Eric were produced.
shoots will start soon.
After several times of adaptation, Jodie · Foster also quickly found a feeling.
In the monitor screen, Jodie · Foster, the right leg is fixed on a special bracket, and the left leg is bent forward, and the two arms are relaxed and placed in front of you, gradually forming a baby Posture in the mother's womb.
The shoots process of special effects movies is usually difficult to give performers and bystanders too much sense of substitution, but at this time, the woman in the camera lens exudes a primitive static beauty all over, making people want to stop.
The studio is very quiet at this time, and even the sound of the machine seems to be much quieter.
Eric sits in front of the monitor and enjoys the picture in front of her. Until the woman in the lens rotates for a full week under the relative movement of the camera lens with the same weightlessness, Eric made an OK gesture towards Nickel.
On the model table, Jodie was reminded, slowly holding his posture, and then looked at Eric.
Eric instructed the staff to release the Jodie, walked to the table, and said, "Although I really want you to come again, it has just been perfect enough."
"Actually, I really want to do it again. This kind of feeling is very good, like doing yoga."
Eric pointed to the bracket under the foot of Jodie: "If you want, you can take these home and practice on your own."
Jodie thought for a while, then shook his head with a smile: "The situation is so weird."
The bandage was untied. Although it was only shoots for more than ten minutes, Jodie still felt a little numbness in the calf and moved to the edge of the table with some inflexibility. Notice that Eric in the Jodie state actively reached out and helped her sit down by the table.
For "Gravity", it is often the case that the crew has completed a shot for several days. Jodie's just shoots is actually just the last short part of a long shot. However, after finishing the lens just now, today's shoots is basically over, and the remaining time is not enough to prepare for other lenses.
Eric stood by the model table and watched Jodie shaking his two legs gently, chatting with her casually. After a while, I felt almost recovered. Jodie pointed his toes to the slippers that were not far away: "Eric, can you help me bring the shoes over?"
Eric immediately shook his head and said: "Sorry, I have a cleansing habit."
Jodie froze and said, "Do you want me to step on the ground and walk over?"
Eric look around: "You can ask them to help you."
"I just want you to help me get Oh, Mr. Director," Jodie lifted his chin and made a proud expression, said: "I'm Heroine, you don't treat me well, be careful Heroine to make you movie Can't shoot anymore. "
Eric glanced at the distance between slippers and Jodie and said: "Why do n’t I hug you and wear it myself."
Jodie immediately gave Eric a blank look, and despised it very much: "Aren't you a cleanser, how dare you hug me."
"This is not the same," Eric shook his head seriously, and said: "In my concept, women are made of water, very pure."
Jodie blinked and immediately made an inference: "What about the man?"
"This, I have n’t thought about it yet, you know, I ’m not interested in men."
"You started talking nonsense again, help me get it."
"Come on," Eric spread out its hands: "The princess is still a robber, or you can carry it, you can choose it yourself."
Jodie's expression slightly wants to open Eric's hand, but the arm is raised, but it seems to be waiting for Eric to hug himself, so he feels light and floats forward a few steps. It landed accurately on the pink slippers.
It started again.
In the studio, passers-by and dogs consciously pretending to be non-existent are still breathtaking while sighing secretly.
Mr. Director ’s sister-in-law approach is too empty, and it seems that he is going to straighten out the famous lily flower Hollywood.
The Jodie reacted when the foot fell on the shoe. After standing, he quickly glanced around and saw that everyone did not seem to pay much attention to this. Then he stared at the man beside him: "Eric, this is not allowed in the future. Otherwise, I want ... but I am really angry. "
Eric immediately surrendered and smiled, "Okay, I promise."
Jodie immediately realized that what he had just said was not too threatening, and it even seemed to be ... I remembered that I did n’t even feel disgusted with the short embrace of Eric, so I could n’t help but secretly introspect and make up. The idea is to stay away from this guy.
So, in the next few days, although the entire crew still cooperated with each other, everyone found out that Jodie often deliberately avoided conversations and contacts with Eric outside of work.
While continuing to the shoots of "Gravity", Eric had to devote its energy to many other things, and naturally there was no such thing as chasing.
The 《Pirates of the Caribbean》 script continues to ferment.
In a week, not only the major Film Studios of Hollywood responded to this script, but also some independent filmmakers participated. This event even attracted the attention of the well-known Hollywood media such as "Hollywood Reporter" and 《Variety》.
However, even though Warner Bros. has already sold the high price of 3 million USD, the two script creators of Terry · Rusio and Ted · Elliott did not give a definite answer, Hollywood even rumored that the two are brewing one script bidding meeting.
Two years ago, screenwriter Shaun Black of the "Lethal Weapon" series sold his "Agent Wild Flower" script through script bidding to the sky-high price of 4million USD, again creating his personal Original Script price record. Although the Box Office at the end of the movie was terrible, the script bidding mode caused many Hollywood gold medals screenwriter to follow suit.
Hollywood has a large group of lunatics, but few fools. This statement by Ted Elliott is actually very accurate. The delay of the two also made some people realize that the two of them are more likely to wait for the response of Firefly Group.
Even these days, even Metro Goldwyn Mayer and 20th Century Fox have made a lively offer, but after the initial contact, Firefly seems to have completely forgotten the 《Pirates of the Caribbean》 script, Firefly script procurement department originally planned to cooperate with Matt · Jill The follow-up negotiations are also gone.
There are too many uncontrollable factors for a movie to succeed, but again, there are more uncontrollable factors for a movie to fail. In the traditional concept, Hollywood does not feel that someone can see the success or failure of a movie in advance, but countless facts have proved that this law is not applicable to Eric Williams at all.
The release of "Ring" is the most direct evidence of this view. Although there are rumors that Eric Williams himself did not expect this phenomenon to be such a phenomenal success, but few people in Hollywood will really believe this a little. To a large extent, it was also strongly stimulated by the explosion of "Ring" Box Office. When the news of 《Pirates of the Caribbean》 was heard, the major Film Studio would behave so urgently.
Similarly, because of 《Pirates of the Caribbean》 script, Cutthroat Island, which was defeated by Box Office to be counted as Guinness World Records, was again mentioned by many people.
Looking back carefully now, more and more people are more determined. This is a hole dug by Eric Williams for Michael · Eisner at that time. After "Cutthroat Island", Michael · Eisner's control of Disney's was severely damaged, and Firefly was also able to successfully complete the snake swallowing of the Disney group.
So now, what is going on with 《Pirates of the Caribbean》?
Although there is a '4200' plan that makes many people feel too aggressive, Firefly Group has not shown any intention to expand inside Hollywood in recent years. It is reasonable to say that this script is a very unlikely trap. In recent years, Firefly Group has been a great ride in Hollywood, and there is really no need to dig someone. Moreover, with the lessons of "Cutthroat Island", any production company that wants to get this script will be careful and careful not to repeat the same mistakes.
So, after a while, they calmed down gradually, and everyone turned their attention to Firefly Group, waiting for the final reflection of Eric Williams.
《Pirates of the Caribbean》 ’s script is here. Even if it is immediately won, it will take at least a year for such a special effects blockbuster project to complete development, and everyone naturally does not lack this patience.
The time soon came to Friday, more than four o'clock in the afternoon, Carolyn and Meyer came from Burbank with a thick stack of documents.
After busy working on the last set of shots, Eric announced to close the work, and took the two women to a large workbench in the corner of the studio. He would basically complete the work log in the studio after work these days Nor did he deliberately return to his office in the studio.
"Eric, the 4billion USD funds were successfully paid yesterday. This is a list of investable short-term bonds sent by Mr. Hansson at noon. He has made detailed comments."
As the Nasdaq index broke through 2000 points, neither Firefly investments nor clover funds will continue to invest in stocks.
In comparison, the risk of investing in bonds is much smaller. The 4billion USD funds obtained by selling AOL10% of the latest stock, after discussion of Eric and Chris, intend to save in the situation of short-term convertible bonds, so that it can guarantee a certain income, offset the losses caused by inflation, and maximize the possibility Keep funds safe. The cash reserves of many large enterprises are actually carried out in this form, and the proportion of cash actually stored in banks is actually very small.
The documents brought by the two women at this time are all processed by Eric for the weekend, but just introduced to Eric, Meyer continued: "Also, Eric, this is a private settlement clause proposed by the five major Record Company to Yahoo, In addition, they also filed a lawsuit against Firefly Electronics again, this time they asked Fireflyer to strengthen the encryption and identification of genuine music. "
Listening to Meyer, one by one, Eric used a pen to mark several documents that he felt needed special attention, and at the same time asked: "How come there is no news about Morgan Stanley, the stock distribution plan of AOL is carried out How is it? "
Meyer shook his head and said: "We have not received relevant information recently."
"Then I will call Chris to talk about it personally," Eric nodded and asked no more, looking at the Carolyn beside him: "What about Los Angeles?"
The Firefly Group side is still mainly about movies. Although the TV series fall season is coming, Firefly has n’t done much in the TV business this year. The expansion of the TV business on the Metro Goldwyn Mayer side is very rapid, but in this regard, the girl usually talks directly with Eric. Without the Eric command, the assistant's office will not directly pay attention.
In terms of film, "Iron Man" has always been closely watched by Eric. The post-production of 《Ted》 has been completed by more than half, and "Underworld" has completed the formation and is about to rush to London shoots. In addition, there are script and budget information for some projects.
After saying this, Carolyn said: "There is one more thing, Eric, United Kingdom, the Reality Show" Pop Idol "that Mr. Fuller is responsible for has been recorded, and will probably be played on the sky TV Station at the end of next month Call over and ask if you want to send some samples? "
"It ’s enough to send me the first three episodes after editing," Eric said, looking at the things and talking, before asking: "What about 《Pirates of the Caribbean》 script?"
"Terry · Rusio and Ted · Elliott have been dragging the negotiation requests of several other Film Studios, and now most people have also entered a wait-and-see state. It seems that they cannot get Firefly Group The response here is that I dare not take the next step hastily. "
After pondering the Eric, they understood the joints and thought about it and said, "The two of them are smart people. I like to deal with smart people. There is no need to continue this matter, let them tomorrow morning Come see me at Cliff Peak Manor. "
For 《Pirates of the Caribbean》 script Eric, he is always determined to get it. He has even done a good job of analysing the price of bidding with several other major Film Studio. After all, a script, no matter how high the price, it is impossible to go anywhere.
However, looking at the current situation, the two screenwriter are smart people. In this case, it may be a good way to openly and quickly cut through the mess.
Carolyn responded, carefully recorded the matter on the memo, and then looked up at Eric.
Eric did n’t talk about the business anymore, and relaxed sideways, said: "So, are there any arrangements for the weekend?"
"Yes," Carolyn nodded and said, "Rachel has been in Los Angeles recently. We have an appointment to go to Ventura tomorrow, and Mel will come over."
"Rachel," Eric smiled and said: "This Nizi is now an international star and has never thanked me."
The corners of Carolyn's mouth are curved, saying: "We will invite you to dinner tomorrow morning."
"How can it be just a meal," Eric admired the pretty face of Carolyn, and said: "At least you have to kiss, Nà, or you will take care of her."
Carolyn narrowed his neck and said, "I will tell my aunt that you bully me Oh."
"Normally, mothers are directed towards their children, so she might be happy that I bullied you."
"No way."
"Or you can kiss me." Eric smiled and said: "And, rest assured, I will not tell your aunt about your bullying."
"I didn't bully you."
The Eric leaned forward, posing and saying, "Come on, bully me."
"Obviously you are going to bully me," Carolyn blushed and looked around. The people in the studio had already walked almost together. The few remaining people did not look here. Hesitated, Still can't help but come over and gently peck at Eric's face.
Not far away, the makeup artist ’s door happened to be pushed open. Jodie · Foster walked out of the room with two makeup artists talking and laughing, just to see this scene.
Jodie has deliberately alienated Eric these past few days. I still feel a little guilty in my heart. But at this time, looking at Eric's cheeky face and letting his little doll-like assistant kiss himself, the guilt in his heart suddenly turned into a taste that she didn't even realize, and her face scorned with contempt, A pair of 'It turns out that you turned out to be this kind of person'.
