Everyone seemed relieved. They were also worried that Eric would stubbornly choose the best screenwriter award. After all, Eric has already achieved achievements that most people have never achieved in their lifetime in the movie Box Office. This made his desire for personal film awards stronger. If "The Others" wins the Silver Lion Award, it belongs to the whole team, and if it gets the best screenwriter, it definitely belongs to the Eric individual.

"Eric, this is actually nothing, I think Oscar is your real stage." It seems that in order to appease Eric, Bill. Garrott said, Jonathan Demme also nodded.

Eric shrugged nonchalantly: "Thank you, Bill, it would be nice if the stubborn old man of the Film Academy thought so."

Several people laughed and talked about some things before they were separated. Eric returned to his room with the information about John Landis. This time, in order to avoid suspicion, Virginia did not follow, but Alan lived In another suite downstairs.

There are a few hours away from the night in Venice, and United States is still in the morning, so although I have spent more than ten hours on the plane, the long-established fixed biological clock has made Eric not tired at all.

After reading the John Landis data, Eric stayed in the room until 7 pm before changing clothes and going out alone. The appointed place was in a restaurant near the boutique hotel. Eric did n’t need anyone ’s guidance, and he also Without a female companion, Virginia is the Heroine of "The Others". In this case, eating with the judges will definitely cause bad conjecture when seen. Compared with Eric, there are fewer scruples in this regard. People who can recognize him here. I believe it will not be too much.

The John Landis is about forty years old, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses and a big nose. His face is full of beard, and the standard Jewish appearance.

Another Jew!

Eric said with emotion. The data shows that John Landis and Steven Speilberg are still good friends, and both of them have guest roles in each other's videos.

Moreover, John Landis is almost the same Director as Spielberg. In 1975, Spielberg became the top Director of Hollywood with a 《Jaws》. Three years later, John Landis shoots's "Animal House" got more 100 million Box Office. Personal fame time is 28 years old.

However. According to the Eric analysis, the Director career of John Landis began to be silent in the 1990s. Therefore, previous life Eric has no impression of this Director.

In the restaurant, John Landis ordered food and watched with great interest Eric communicated with the blonde waitress who just knew English. After the girl left with the menu, John Landis said: "Eric, you are Italy The dishes are familiar. "

Eric smiled and explained: "My father was an Italy chef."

"Oh." John Landis nodded, and didn't talk about this topic any more, obviously he didn't know anything about Eric. Know that Eric's father has passed away.

Waiting for serving, Eric and John Landis started chatting without finding a margin. Of course, the theme is still in the movie.

"The reason why I am surprised is not that your film style is changeable, but that several of your films with different styles have achieved success on Box Office, which is the most difficult to understand. You know, I I have also tried various styles of movies, but my Box Office movies are better. They are all satire comedy. Even Steven, he has been trying to break through for so many years. But the most successful is only science fiction. Film, 《Jaws》. "Et" and the like. "

Eric said: "This does not explain anything, John, it may be that I am lucky, I have only a few movies of Director, and I will definitely fail if I make more films. I will also realize what I am best at. "

John Landis listened to Eric and thought for a while, then suddenly shook his head and said, "No, you feel very different to me, Eric, can you tell me where you learned to make movies from? I am very curious, After all, at your age, even a simple movie like "Home Alone" is not so easy to make. From the time I started to shoots's own first part movie, I also spent several years accumulating experience. "

Of course, Eric cannot say that I have accumulated it for the rest of my life, so I have to say: "In fact, I was lucky, I wrote" Home Alone "script, and fortunately found a very good team, I just Say what effect I want, so they helped me to do it. If you did not meet them, maybe "Home Alone" has no shadow yet. "

John Landis has no doubt about the words of Eric. Normally, Eric ’s personal experience can only be attributed to his good luck.

"I have watched" Home Alone "several times, and that ... Stewart. Runkel, the little one is really great. If there is a chance ... consider as finished, I do n’t want it anymore."

Eric knows why John Landis said this from the materials he saw before. When he made a movie seven years ago, he caused several Actor deaths due to an accident, including two minor Actor, if If there is no minor, this incident is a very pure set accident. After all, Hollywood has many such accidents every year. However, because of the two children, he was dragged into the lawsuit for six years, and it was not until last year that he completely got rid of the lawsuit. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that John Landis was upset about the small Actor. ,

"John, in fact, don't worry too much about it, has that thing passed? Isn't it? And, it's really just a sad accident."

John Landis took a sip of red wine and said in a deep voice: "But they have to say that I am a negligent homicide. This is too much. I am just a producer. I was not even present when the accident happened. I I apologized to the public, and I paid enough compensation, but some people just grabbed this thing, and it took only six years before I managed to get out. For a while, I even collapsed to want to be like Roman. Poland Like Ski, I fled abroad, I do n’t want to go to jail. "

Eric remembered the incident mentioned in the data, and gradually smelled something different from the tone of John Landis.

Whether Roman Polanski was punished or not is indeed a worthy crime. After all, he was caught and violated on the spot.

However, the incident of John Landis is full of some conspiracy. Maybe someone wants to collapse him. Maybe if he defeats a competitor, he can free up a large share of Box Office. After all, although John Landis is not as famous as Spielberg, there have been two Box Office films in shoots in these years that have exceeded 100 million, and some other films have also performed well.

Thinking of this, Eric couldn't help but a cold came out of his heart. John Landis is Jewish. There must be a whole Jewish circle in Hollywood that will support him. Such a person can be designed and dragged into a lawsuit for six years. , Not to mention himself, he is now alone in Hollywood, once someone wants to deal with him, it will be terrible.

Shake out the worries in my mind quickly, Eric knows that it is not a time when people are worried, and said to John Landis: "Do n’t think about these things again, John, everything is over, do n’t you? Look, your last year ’s" United States "Journey" is actually the most direct counterattack. "

John Landis smiled when he heard Eric mentioning his proud work: "It is true that shortly after" United States Journey "was released, that thing was completely over. However, if there was no success of" United States Journey " , I do n’t know how long I will be dragged. "

After this topic, John Landis also had a touch of intimacy with Eric: "Eric," The Others "I have seen it several times, whether it is the suspense setting or the final plot reversal, it is absolutely amazing. At that time, Cannes just selected one of the youngest and best Director, I believe that Venice Film Festival will certainly not be too conservative. "

After hearing John Landis say this, Eric knew that the other party might be inclined to lobby for the best screenwriter award, so he quickly shook his head and said, "John, I am only nineteen years old now, and I have no honors. I think too much. If I get affirmation too early, I wo n’t have much motivation to move forward. What do you think? "

John Landis froze for a while, then suddenly laughed, and then nodded: "I see."

Eric also showed a smile, lifted the red wine and gestured to the other party, John Landis knew that Eric was thanking himself, and raised his glass to touch the Eric, and said softly: "Relax, I will try my best."

Eric didn't answer, he drank the red wine from the glass.

Put down the stemware, Eric is about to talk to John Landis on other topics, and suddenly heard a familiar female voice not far behind, a few vague words: "Haha, the Fatty was just so funny , Actually said that I was like ... hehe, and I said I was Director ... but you ... too bad. "

raised the eyebrow, Eric could n’t help but glanced at the source of the sound, the back of her brown curly hair appeared in the field of vision, a smile appeared on the corner of Eric ’s mouth, and she thought that Julia would come to Venice, and the quilt sitting opposite her The girl blocking the figure must be the second lady of the Murdoch family, Elisabeth Murdoch.

"Why did you meet an acquaintance?" John Landis glanced down at Eric, but he was not familiar with Julia. If he met face-to-face, he might still know a girl, but he didn't recognize it after looking at a back.

Eric nodded: "Two acquaintances, but they may not want me to say hello in the past, just ignore them."

John Landis looked at the figures of two girls who could n’t see in the distance, and smiled ambiguously: "Chasing a woman always has to take the initiative. If you sit here, there will be no little girl." (Unfinished (To be continued)
