Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
After receiving the invitation of Eric, John · Aniston agreed quickly without any consideration. Between the producers of soap operas Actor and TV series, few people would choose the former willingly. Whether Hollywood is screenwriter, Actor or comparison The upper-level Director will develop in the direction of the producer when the career progresses to a certain extent.
For this reason, John · Aniston also resigned from some positions in NBC, and at the same time greatly reduced his role in 《Days of Our Lives》. Although he is already in his fifties this year, he is about the same age as Jeffrey, but his ambition is not much weaker than when he was young.
Although the Box Office share of the two films "Home Alone" and 《Pretty Woman》 has not been recovered at all, Firefly is not short of money because of the two huge loans of Eric. The budget of this episode of TV series is about 200,000 USD The total investment is only 5 million USD, which is only equivalent to the investment of the movie "The Others".
As the John · Aniston’s joined, the 《Friends》 project started quickly in early May. The crew rented two giant studios of 20th Century Fox to arrange all the scenes in 《Friends》. previous life 《Friends》 is basically in the Warner studio of Los Angeles shoots.
Although Eric does not want Fox to participate in this TV series, it would be too deliberate if you have to find Warner or Columbia for renting a studio. At a meeting, Eric did not suggest to build a studio exclusively for 《Friends》, but it was jointly opposed by Jeffrey and John. The two agreed that it was too costly to make up for it, and Eric had to give it up temporarily.
As for Actor, Eric is also fanciful. If you can gather the six people of previous life, it would be perfect. 《Friends》 appeared five years earlier than previous life, so, according to the time, several starring even the oldest Lisa · Kudrow It was only twenty-six years old, and several other Actors were also between twenty and twenty-four years old. At this time, they began to appear. Then ten years later, this group of Actors will not show obvious age marks in the lens.
The reason why previous life ’s 《Friends》 ended in the tenth season, although Actor salary is part of the reason, but the most important thing is that the age of Actor is no longer suitable for this classic to continue, playing Phoebe in the tenth season Lisa · Kudrow is forty-one years old, and has already begun to play the role of mother on the big screen, and then in this movie, it would be very contrary to be cute and funny like a young man.
Of course, the six people who have gathered previous life are doomed to think about it. After Aniston’s introduced Matthew · Perry who played the young stupid in "Home Alone", it is now a first-line movie Actor. You let a Hollywooda-level superstar play a sitcom. That's a fool's dream.
As for the others, some of their movies are indeed stored in the Eric memory, but before this year, Eric can only find Courteney · Cox played a small role in 《Cocoon》, others now do not even have a shadow, If you want to find a needle in a haystack, in this case, Eric can only patiently start to select the replacement of the other five friends in the Actor application.
On May 10th, Sunday, 《Running Out of Time》's shoots has come to an end. Within the next week's working day, as long as there are no major accidents, filmed will be smooth.
So today Eric can take time for the final audition of 《Friends》 Actor, which is also the final round of screening. Because of the requirements before Eric, the first work performed by the crew was the audition of Actor, so it only took ten days The scenes in the two studios rented Fox are still in the initial construction, and the selection of Actor entered the final round.
In Eric ’s plan, during the later stages of 《Running Out of Time》 from mid-May to mid-June, several classic 《Friends》 shoots lenses were inserted into the movie, and the official shoots of this TV series would have to wait at least until July 《Running Out of Time》 After the release, according to the plan given by Fox, TV series's response will be placed in early September, just after the summer file of the movie ends and the autumn file of the American drama begins.
Moreover, Eric is expected to spend only two weeks, personally the first two episodes of shoots TV series. After completing this matter, he needs to work non-stop on the preparation of the two films in the second half of the year, and also needs three other films. Worrying about the release of the film, basically, there will be no leisure time in the second half of the year.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Eric walked into the company and had seen many men and women waiting in the corridor. These people obviously knew Eric. After Eric appeared, they all greeted Eric actively. Several young girls also unabashedly thrown their thoughtful eyes at Eric. Eric nodded to everyone and kept entering. Audition room.
He has n’t seen the last round of the Actor list before, and because all Actor have no clue, Eric must also conduct an interview in person instead of drawing circles like "The Others" and 《Scent of a Woman》 when casting a cast Something wrong.
"Jeffrey, John, good morning." Walking into the audition room, I saw that Jeffrey and John · Aniston were waiting here. The two men talked about each other orthogonally, and when Eric appeared, they stood up and said hello to Eric.
"Good morning, Eric."
"Eric, early."
Eric walked behind the long table and sat down, a blonde female assistant took the initiative to gather in front of Eric, put a stack of materials in front of Eric, and stooped to introduce Eric: "Mr. Williams, this is the interview today Actor The full list of has been marked in order. "
When the girl speaks, I do n’t know whether it is intentional or unintentional, the chest just faces Eric, the top button of the white shirt is not fastened, Eric easily sees the beautiful scenery of the girl ’s chest.
d **, yes, it looks like you ca n’t hold it in one hand. Eric thought so playfully, and at the same time glanced at the side, how could John · Aniston not notice the scene here, of course his face would not be too good.
The 《Friends》 crew was formed through his network of contacts in the television circle. The blonde is also a relatively experienced staff member he has found. Now the girl is in front of him, seduce her daughter ’s boyfriend , John · Aniston how happy, Eric wanted to estimate how long the girl will not stay in the crew.
It ’s just that maybe the girl does n’t know too much about the relationship between John · Aniston and Eric, or understand but did n’t pay attention to it, so she made Eric in front of John. As Eric is a billionaire at a young age, Hollywood has some ambitious women who will take the chance to try it, and it is not the first time that Eric has encountered this kind of seduction.
"Okay, I get it," and after the girl introduced, Eric ate enough of the little tofu delivered to the door, and then nodded.
"So, my name is Linda · Grant, Mr. Williams, you can call me Linda." The girl straightened her waist, intentionally or unintentionally, she showed her beautiful body wrapped in a professional suit.
"Thank you, Miss Linda," Eric thanked as she looked at the girl with a smile.
John · Aniston’s finally sounded: "Linda, let the young people outside waiting for the interview prepare, we will start immediately."
"Okay, Mr. Aniston." The girl nodded and walked out of the audition room with her beautiful buttocks wrapped in a dark skirt.
"cough cough, Eric, Linda ... already married, his husband is a sound engineer for the crew." John · Aniston didn't know what to think, when the girl went out, whispered in the ear of Eric.
Eric shrugged innocently: "John, I did nothing."
"Eric, although it's inevitable to play in Hollywood, you'd better be careful not to hurt Jenny, she is actually a very simple little girl."
Eric nodded guilty: "Relax, John, I will pay attention."
John · Aniston shook his head: "Actually, I hope you can break up with Jenny."
Eric immediately refused: "Unless Jenny leaves me, I will not break up with Jenny."
After Eric finished speaking, she secretly added another sentence, even if she was going to leave me, I would try to catch little girl back. Of course, this kind of words must not be said, otherwise John · Aniston will not be able to do anything. Come.
John · Aniston is of course impossible to guess the psychological activity of Eric. Patted on his shoulder and started audition work.
Eric has the opportunity to look down at the list of auditioners.
Sure enough, at a glance, there are no well-known movie stars in the future generations. previous life Eric has not seen many American dramas, so people who do not know these American drama circles have also said in the past. After all, young people in their twenties now, There are very few who can come forward. When American dramas become more sophisticated and can even challenge the status of the film more than ten years later, these people are already in their thirties or forties. Even if they appear in American dramas, they are all unremarkable supporting actors.
The long list of auditions on the page turned over, and none of them knew a familiar name. Turning boringly to the last page, this page is the list of Actress applying for Phoebe Buffy, Eric finally found a familiar name, and the very familiar kind: Nicole · Kidman, which makes Eric a small place Surprised, how could Nicole · Kidman come to apply for TV series?
Eric carefully checked the spelling and determined that the name was completely correct, so he beckoned to the head of Linda · Grand who walked in again, and the blonde immediately came up diligently: "Mr. Williams, is there something wrong?"
"Where is the detailed Actor information, I will look at the batch of audition Actor materials in the afternoon."
"Please wait."
Linda responded and walked out. After a few moments, he walked in with a few folders: "Mr. Williams, all here."
"Thank you, just call me Eric," Eric said thanks, ignoring the curiosity of Jeffrey and John · Aniston’s, and began to search, and quickly found the Nicole · Kidman data file.
Just a glance, Eric recognized the woman in the photo posted on the profile, brown wavy curly hair, round face, blue glasses, **** nose, thin lips.
A quick glance, the girl ’s resume stays on an Australian TV series called 《Bangkok Hilton》, and has also participated in several TV series and movies.
That is to say, the 《Dead Calm》 that let Nicole · Kidman into Hollywood is gone, is this also the butterfly effect brought by itself?
Eric was thinking about the corners of the paper, and finally had to admit that the fact is definitely the case. Since he published "Jurassic Park" last year and entered Hollywood through a "17 Again", everything in this world is everything. It has changed. This reminds Eric of the dominoes that previous life has seen. As soon as the first piece of dominoes is pushed, then it will cause thousands of dominoes to fall down. This is the most vivid interpretation of the butterfly effect.
According to the time in memory, Nicole · Kidman should have participated in 《Dead Calm》 before coming to Hollywood, and then quickly hooked up with Tom · Cruise through 《Days of Thunder》, disturbing the original family of Cruise and becoming Mrs. Cruise. The nameless vase Actor has suddenly become the top-level vase of Hollywood. More than ten years later, it also got the best Heroine of Oscar.
Thinking of these trivial materials, Eric can only draw one conclusion, this is a very powerful woman.
Among the several women around Cruise, she was the only one who developed the best. Even after divorcing Cruise, her career was not affected, but she was even better. She quickly entered the 20 million payroll The club, and successfully won the Oscar best Heroine small gold.
The other first wife, such as Cruise, did not leave any impression at all, and the last wife, Katie Holmes, did not get any benefit from Cruise. After the divorce, it was because of the former wife Cruise. Identity, even no man is willing or dare to date her.
Throughout the morning interview, Eric became more and more interested in this woman. While taking a break at noon, Eric made a wink at the female assistant who had always wanted to seduce herself and came to the end of the corridor. staircase.
"Eric, is there something wrong?" Linda looked at Eric curiously and nervously. She felt she was not prepared yet. This little Director would not do anything here.
“It ’s like this, Linda,” Eric took out a page of information: “This Nicole · Miss Kidman, after she finished the interview in the afternoon, you took her to my office and let her wait for me there, I think Talk to her alone. "
Linda took the information, looked at the photos of Nicole · Kidman, and found that this woman is far more beautiful than herself, and she was somewhat lost but nodded: "Okay, Eric, I will tell her, you ... also Is there anything else? "
Eric shook his head honestly: "No more."
"Oh," Linda lowered his head, the heels of his high heels rubbed a few times on the concrete floor, and just had the courage to raise his head to say something, but found that there was no one in front of him.
"This little guy with an incomprehensible style is really ... too annoying." The girl stomped her feet, turned and walked back in disappointment.
After an afternoon audition, the remaining five characters have been preliminarily determined. Eric also encountered Nicole · Kidman, which participated in the audition more than four o’clock in the afternoon. The girl ’s performance has no problems at all, but with the memory Lisa Compared with the image of Kudrow, Nicole · Kidman looks too beautiful.
The role of Monica · Geller has identified a dark-haired beauty, which is somewhat similar to Courteney · Cox. If Phoebe Buffy chooses another big beauty, this sitcom will definitely be a little distorted. So Eric and John basically did not consider Nicole · Kidman, but chose another girl with a more ordinary appearance.
All auditions ended at five o'clock. Eric, John · Aniston and others have been discussing 《Friends》's shoots plan in the conference room until more than seven o'clock in the evening, and all the talents left.
Eric was thinking of at sixes and sevens in his head, and he almost forgot what he had asked the female assistant before. He walked out of the office building of the company and thought of it. He quickly turned back. Now the sky is completely dark, and Eric is not sure whether Nicole · Kidman will leave early, but this is unlikely. With the cleverness of this woman, it is impossible to leave early. It is estimated that Eric will not appear even tonight, The woman will also be patient in her office.
Pushing open the door of the office, I saw the figure of a woman sitting on the sofa. In the office, only the desk lamp on the desk was turned on, which seemed very dark. Eric recognized the other party at a glance, and saw Eric open the door and came in. , The girl also stood up.
Eric closed the door and turned on the office lights before saying: "Hello, Miss Kidman."
"Hello Mr. Williams." There was no impatient look on the girl's face, she stepped forward with a light smile, took the initiative to reach out and shook hands with Eric, Eric glanced inadvertently, and found the girl was actually light Put your feet and high heels aside.
It's such a careful woman, you can even notice details like height. Eric is only in its early eights, and Nicole · Kidman is probably the same height. The girl may feel that if she wears high heels, it is higher than Eric, which may make him unhappy.
Eric sighed in his heart, returned to his place and sat down: "I'm sorry, Miss Kidman, I've kept you waiting for a long time, I have just been in a meeting."
"It doesn't matter, Mr. Williams, you can call me Nicole."
"Okay, Nicole, similarly, just call me Eric." Eric said, leaning his body on the leather seat, no longer talking, and looked closely at the woman in front of her.
Nicole · Kidman did n’t worry about asking Eric to wait for her intention here. Maybe she did n’t feel like asking at all. This kind of thing is obvious, is n’t it?
