Slightly shook his head, Eric explained: "The reason why Tom and 《Running Out of Time》 are called Running out of Time is because the core is the rival drama of the two protagonists. If the drama is too unbalanced, the movie's wonderfulness will be greatly reduced. And, I think You have the most room for a movie. Hanks still needs to share the scene with Joe Pesci and others, and your character is completely a one-man show, no need to add it. "

Hearing Eric ’s refusal, although Cruise knew that Eric said it was reasonable, he still showed a slight displeasure on his face.

Originally, Eric did not have much opinion on Cruise's personal qualities, and was not even interested in those rumors. Others have other people's living methods. Hollywood privately has a lot of celebrities. Cruise is at least a very dedicated and hard-working person, which is also the original intention of Eric to want to cooperate with each other.

But now, Eric is beginning to regret it, because Cruise's desire to control is too strong, and Eric is also a person with strong desire to control. It is estimated that in the next shoots process of 《Running Out of Time》, the dispute will definitely be indispensable. Eric feels that his qualifications are too shallow, Cruise has a sense of superiority from the bottom of his heart.

"So, Eric, about the bus girl, is Brooke · Shields ... too high?" The height of one meter seven is always the weakness of Cruise, so it was just rejected, so I said it under the impulse of impulse. After the sentence, Cruise regretted it, wasn't it his own face.

Remember that when I saw the height of Brooke · Shields six feet in the data, Eric couldn't help but smoked. If I put on high heels again, that's okay, I think I will hug myself at the award ceremony today Na · Davis has an altitude.

Eric did not laugh out in front of Cruise and persuaded: "Tom, you do n’t have to worry about this at all. Both of you are sitting in the bus or in the restaurant. There are no shots of walking side by side. "

"Okay," Cruise nodded pretendingly, took a sip of red wine to hide the embarrassment, and hurried away.

Eric just turned around and was ready to return to the crowd. Virginia didn't know where to get out of it and stepped forward to hold Eric's arm.

"Oh, look too tight." Eric laughed ridiculously, how could he not see the careful eyes of Virginia.

The girl suddenly showed a wronged look and retracted her arm: "If you want to see which beautiful woman, go for it."

"consider as finished, let's go back," Eric looked at his watch: "Lest you always worry, as if I would fly away."

"Uh," Virginia happily arms around Eric again: "Can I go to your house tonight?"

"Okay, but you are in the limelight tonight, there must be paparazzi outside."

Virginia has long thought about the countermeasures: "We take the elevator directly to the parking lot and drive the Mr. Sid car to leave. Be careful, it will be fine."

If it ’s not for everyone, Eric really wants to reach out and pinch the girl ’s face.

The two were about to leave, and there was a commotion at the door of the banquet hall. Eric seemed to hear a shout called "Mr. Spielberg" and looked up. Sure enough, a large group of people gathered around a middle The young man walked into the banquet hall.

"It really is Steven · Spielberg, why is he here?" Virginia said curiously.

"Who knows," Eric shook his head, and then said: "Let's go forward and say hello before leaving, otherwise it will be a little rude."

"Well," Virginia is also obviously eager to try.

The two were planning to move forward, but Spielberg walked over to Eric.

In everyone's surprised eyes, Spielberg took the initiative to reach out to Eric: "Eric, I thought you would go to Hilton Hotel. I didn't know that you were here when I got there. Let me find it."

"Really ... I do n’t know how to say it well, Mr. Spielberg, if you want to see me, you can contact my manager to arrange a meeting," Eric shook his hand in confusion.

"Everyone is very busy, and today is a special day, so I can spare my time," Spielberg explained: "Eric, I asked someone to find a room downstairs, let's go there. Oh, this ... ladies can come together. "

"No problem," Eric nodded, and in the eyes of everyone in the banquet hall guessing, pulled Virginia and followed Spielberg to leave.

After Eric left, everyone whispered for a while, and started to do their own thing again. Although they lost a close opportunity with Spielberg, they did n’t feel that they were too qualified, but Cruise kept looking at Spielberg and Eric. When the figure of others disappeared at the door, the heart was even more lost. He originally thought that Spielberg came from the 《Rain Man》 crew, or even from himself, but he didn't expect the result to be like this.

For cooperation with Spielberg, Cruise is not too urgent. He just hopes to be able to make friends with Spielberg. As a representative of the Hollywood Jews, as long as he has a good relationship with Spielberg, it is equivalent to having a good relationship with the Jewish circle of Hollywood. .

Hollywood is the world of Jews. This sentence is not just a talk. Many Film Studio executives such as Barry · Diller, Michael · Eisner and others are Jews, and a large wave of famous Director and stars such as Spielberg and Harrison · Ford are also Jews. Cruise is free from caa and wants to get rid of the pure Actor status and step into the ranks of producers. It is essential to get in touch with the Hollywood Jewish circle.

In a room downstairs in the banquet hall, the two parties sat down. The waiter served coffee for several people and quit the room. Only Spielberg and his assistant, and Eric and Virginia were left.

"Eric, Drew is okay, I haven't seen her visit me for a long time." Spielberg didn't rush to talk about the business, but chatted casually.

Eric is not in a hurry. Instead, she glanced at the Virginia around her. She looks very embarrassed. She feels very embarrassed. She is a big Director. I am also a big Director. Okay, your little woman really makes me lose face. Go back and tidy up.

"Drew is that heartless and heartless character," Eric said with a smile: "Today she happened to be at home, and I will teach my girl when I go back. It is indeed rude to not visit you for a long time."

"I heard people say that the relationship between Drew and you is very strange. Like father and daughter, I didn't believe it at first. I heard that the tone you just talked about may be true. But the girl is also a good follower. Choice, her parents ... not to mention, Eric, treat her well. "

"I will," Eric nodded, and did not go deep into the news that Spielberg heard from. The other person's network in Hollywood was completely beyond his reach.

Spielberg took a slow sip of coffee before saying: "Actually, I am looking for you today for the copyright of your" Jurassic Park ". I had people contacted you a few times before and they were rejected, so I Today, I had to go out in person, Eric, how about selling the movie copyright of "Jurassic Park" to me? "

Eric didn't answer immediately. He held up his coffee cup and lowered his head to make a reflection. In fact, he was very distressed. It was impossible to sell the "Jurassic Park" movie copyright to Spielberg. Even according to previous life, let Spielberg be the Director of this movie, Eric will not agree. Because he just remembered some data in his mind.

previous life's "Jurassic Park" won the Box Office of more than 900 million USD of global, of which North America 350 million USD, overseas 600 million USD, based on the local average of 55% and overseas 20%, the film can finally get the Box Office account of 310 million USD, Universal Pictures The investment in this film is about 70 million USD, which means that minus the cost, this film can get a huge profit of 240 million USD, which seems to be an ecstatic figure, because even previous life in 1993 Any Box Office of a film giants for a whole year can only earn this number at most.

Everything has a turning point, called ‘but’.

However, Spielberg deserves to be called the most savvy film merchant. As Director of "Jurassic Park", Spielberg, with his personal strength and a series of negotiations, signed a high proportion of share contracts with Universal. The final result is Spielberg individual Because the project "Jurassic Park" has taken 250 million USD back and forth and divided it!

Yes, it is more than 10 million more profitable than the Box Office of "Jurassic Park". In 1993, the era of DVD players has not yet come, and the video tape market accounted for only 30 to 100% of movie revenue. Forty, other peripheral broadcasting rights have relatively less revenue. In other words, most of the profits of the movie "Jurassic Park" were actually taken away by Spielberg personally, and this was when the scenery of DreamWorks was established in 1994. If it is not the surrounding products of "Jurassic Park" and the theme park can bring huge benefits, Universal senior executives can only cover their faces and cry.

As for rumors that Universal bundled "Jurassic Park" with "Schindler's List" and led to dissatisfaction with Spielberg's, it has prompted Spielberg to set up DreamWorks in a solo flight. This claim has no credibility.

I did n’t invest a penny. I took the 250 million back and forth, and I was still dissatisfied. There is still no reason to be true in this world!

Eric is now troubled that if he can refuse Spielberg euphemistically, he does not want to offend this Jewish Director who has huge connections in Hollywood.

"Mr. Spielberg, actually ... I wrote this book, I originally planned to do Director by myself, so ..." Eric babbled the language: "So ... I did n’t plan to sell" Jurassic Park's movie copyright. "

Spielberg smiled like an elder and analyzed Eric: "Eric, I have watched several of your movies. I think you are better at low-cost comedy or drama, a science fiction like" Jurassic Park " I'm afraid you won't be able to shoots for a long time in the novel. I don't mean to despise you, but you are still too young and inexperienced to accumulate. I actually do the same myself, I made myself from 1959 first part short film, but it was n’t until sixteen years later that I was able to produce a science fiction film like 《Jaws》. Although your qualifications are much stronger than mine, it also takes about ten years to accumulate, maybe many people have forgotten by then The novel "Jurassic Park" is very risky after shoots. It is difficult to recover the cost if you don't pay attention. "
