Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
Eric handed over the Basic Instinct script outline that was written out to the Alan behind him, and asked the assistant to register the outline at Writers Guild of America before saying to David Greenwalt: "Because I do n’t like this woman."
"..." The two producers are speechless at the same time, this reason is too powerful, David Greenwalt and Hans Whittle feel helpless, but also a little envious, when can I achieve a "dislike" Can control the fate of others.
Eric does not mean to explain to the two of them. He is not an extreme nationalist, and he is not sensitive to the fact that some people go to boycott something because they say two anti-xx words, you do n’t like me Then, I do n’t like you either. It ’s just that all of them are flat-headed people, so there ’s no need to be so careful. But after the disaster where previous life was able to kill tens of thousands of innocent civilians, the woman who laughed and said the word "retribution" could only be described in cold blood, no matter what political position or other **** reason to use , Are hard to forgive.
So, the moment I saw the data of Sharon Stone, Eric directly passed the other party away, and by the way, when the other party auditioned, the film "Basic Instinct" that made Sharon Stone famous. script outline was written, anyway, it is also a movie with Box Office over 100 million yuan.
Despite the current reputation of Eric, it is impossible to make such a controversial large-scale movie in person for the sake of own image. Even the future screenwriter column did not intend to use the real name in the future, but this script was handed over Robert Shay is just right. Anyway, Robert Shay will dominate two big production movies this year. As long as the money is made, Robert is definitely willing to make any movie. As for Heroine, an TV series Heroine can attract hundreds of people. Will Hollywood lack Heroine?
Eric was thinking wildly, and another poor girl was ignored by him, and the next woman came in. Eric looked up at the other party, then opened the other party's information and looked at the name above. Confirming that it was true, Eric raised his head with a weird smile: "Have you seen this lady?"
Hans Whittle and David Greenwalt just closed their mouths when they were about to speak.
It seems that Heroine has fallen, and finally no longer need to continue to stay up for a few days, although you can see nearly a hundred beautiful faces every day, but if you read more, you will definitely not feel it, let alone Eric on top. They do not have much decision-making power in their hands, so they can only watch and not eat these beautiful women.
The Famke Janssen who just sat down on the chair was a little weird when he saw Eric looking at himself, but he was a little happy in his heart, and it was better to be noticed than to be ignored.
"Mr. Williams, maybe you have seen my shoots advertisement on some magazine, I have had many advertisements on shoots."
Eric glanced at the two long legs of the girl who was tightly wrapped in white casual pants, and asked: "Miss Jensen, are you professional model?"
Famke Janssen shook his head: "It's not anymore, I just retired."
Eric immediately asked again: "If you were not selected this time. What will you do in the future?"
There is not much change in the girl ’s expression, and I thought about it: "In this case, I may apply for a university. After two years of reading, I can find other jobs after I get the certificate."
"Other jobs, like?"
Famke Janssen was stunned before shaking his head: "I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet."
Eric nodded and said to the two producers on the left and right: "I'm fine, come on."
"No more questions, such as a boyfriend or something?" Hans Whittle joked in a low voice.
Eric glanced at the other person and said that she was the woman I liked. What about having a boyfriend?
"Eric. Is it her?" David Greenwalt also asked in a low voice.
"Complete the morning audition first," Eric replied quietly.
To be honest. Not many famous actresses were born in the 1960s and caught up with the rise of Hollywood. The more famous ones are only two 30, and a few of them are counted on the first train after 70. Famke Janssen is one of the more famous Hollywood women born in the 1960s.
The girl impressed Eric the most, not the only fifth-level variant Phoenix girl in "X-Men", but the tough and glamorous Russian female killer in "007GoldenEye", which uses two long legs in How did one kill the other person when the man was arrogant? Since he met him, of course he had to try the strength of those two long legs himself.
The Famke Janssen saw three main referees whispering for a while, feeling a little uneasy in their hearts and not knowing what the other party was discussing. But the next thing made her a little happy, because three people were particularly careful about her audition. The usual audition time of other auditioners did not exceed ten minutes, but her audition took a full 20 minutes.
After Famke Janssen left, David Greenwalt said: "It's okay, the acting skills are a little clumsy, but you can exercise more during the shoots process. The lens feels very strong, and it is professional model."
Hans Whittle also agreed with a grin.
Eric didn't care about the two people's envy with a ridiculous expression, and filled in their opinions on the form in front of them.
The audition in the morning passed quickly. Now that the roles have been fixed, no one needs to be busy anymore. Eric packed up his things, gave two sentences, and left with Alan. As for Famke Janssen, he is not in a hurry, he will talk about it after this busy time.
The time is in late December and Christmas is coming. From the Thanksgiving schedule on November 17 to the current five-week period, the Box Office market of North America is basically led by "Home Alone2" in just five weeks. Home Alone2 "Box Office has reached 100 million ten million USD.
The top five of the North America Box Office list, in addition to "Home Alone2", is followed by "Lethal Weapon 2" of Warner and "Back to the Future Part II" of Universal. These three movies occupy the top three of the Box Office list, and "The Others" With 《Steel Magnolias》, the role of the fourth place in the repeated contenders, steadily received more than 10 million USD Box Office every week,
After seven weeks of accumulation of "The Others", Box Office is about to break 100 million. In the end, Box Office may exceed the original 150 million USD goal, because the Box Office of "The Others" has not fallen by more than 20% in these weeks, and the Box Office trend of 《Steel Magnolias》 is more stable. Five weeks to accumulate Box Office of more than 60 million USD, plus this movie is very suitable for Christmas atmosphere. It is estimated that there will definitely be a Box Office rebound during the next Christmas period, and Box Office breaks 100 million without any suspense.
As for the black comedy "Harlem Night Club" which got a good Box Office starring in the first week starring Eddie Murphy, after being released for the next two weeks, after a massive drop of more than 50%, it was directly thrown out of the five. It once again proved that black movies cannot squeeze into the mainstream of Hollywood.
The eye-catching results of the three films "Home Alone2", "The Others" and 《Steel Magnolias》 have also attracted the attention of the media. Since the beginning of November, the films produced by Firefly or Eric have occupied the top position of the Box Office list to the current position It has been occupied for seven weeks. On December 22, "Sleepless in Seattle" will be released soon. This is another Eric personally directed film. Under the Fox's hard promotion, basically no one is optimistic about the film released by Warner to fight against "Sleepless in Seattle" "Crazy Christmas Holiday".
As the seventh week passed, December 22 finally arrived. After the premiere of "Sleepless in Seattle" in the Los Angeles Chinese Grand Theater, paintings were officially opened in more than 2200 theaters in North America2.
And at the same time, there is also the Al Pacino starring, used to impact Oscar 《Scent of a Woman》. According to the regularity of many Olympic films released, Robert Shay only arranged 60 theaters for 《Scent of a Woman》 to obtain the admission ticket of Oscar.
After the Heroine of "X-Files" is determined. Eric's work this year has basically been completed. After attending the premiere of "Sleepless in Seattle", he has been staying in the Malibu mansion to rest. He reads and writes script every day.
Compared with Eric's relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, the entire North America media is closely following the first week Box Office of "Sleepless in Seattle". Because if "Sleepless in Seattle" can successfully win this week's Box Office championship, then the Eric movie will really achieve the entire New Year's eight-week Box Office championship grand slam.
Although many media are not very optimistic about the "Crazy Christmas Holiday" used by Warner to fight, no one dares to pack tickets 100%. Maybe this movie will create a Box Office miracle like "Home Alone", after all. Although the movie is not starring in children, the style is similar to "Home Alone".
In this anxious wait. Box Office was released on the first three days of the first weekend. "Sleepless in Seattle" undoubtedly won the Box Office championship this weekend with Box Office of 17 million USD, while "Box Office" of "Crazy Christmas Holiday" only had 1more than 1 million USD, not even "Home Alone2" with Box Office rising because of Christmas. . The outcome was decided without suspense.
A week later, "Sleepless in Seattle" got the first week Box Office of 2more than 7 million USD, and the successor "Home Alone2" occupied the position of the Box Office list. At this point, Firefly successfully won the Box Office of the entire New Year through the relay of three movies. champion. The media started to spontaneously handle this matter. Although last year's "Home Alone" first part won the Box Office championship for 10 weeks, the movie Box Office can only be classified as a miracle. This year, Firefly won the eight-week Box Office championship through this relay, which really proved its strength.
Although Firefly only released one 《Scent of a Woman》, several other movies were released by Disney and Fox, but few of the entire United States media attributed this achievement to Disney, but while touted Firefly, Taunted the seven major Film Studio.
What I have to say is that while "Sleepless in Seattle" won the Box Office championship, several other things happened at the same time, including 《Scent of a Woman》. Although there are 60 premiere theaters in this movie, the first week But got more than 900,000 USD Box Office, the average weekly Box Office exceeds 15000USD, this score far exceeds the threshold of 10000USD big-selling movies. And the reputation of this movie is also very good, the media rated the blind colonel played by Al Pacino as his most classic role since the film.
And another thing is about the tape of "An Affair to Remember". After the release of "Sleepless in Seattle", with the proper promotion of Firefly, the two-pronged approach, the sales of the video of "An Affair to Remember" broke through the 200,000 box in the first week and squeezed into the tape The top ten weekly sales. You know, this is an old movie of 30 many years ago, the sales of 200,000 boxes in the first week, then the next sales breakthrough 1 million box is completely no problem, and may even reach the point of 2 million box. Eric remembers that after previous life "Seattle", the sales volume of the video tape "An Affair to Remember" reached 2 million box.
According to the cost of less than 10USD per video cassette, the 5USD profit going out to the distributor, Firefly can get half of the profit from each video cassette with a price of about 30USD. If the sales volume reaches 2 million box, then Firefly can Get the profit of 30 million USD. This amount of money is equivalent to the total profit brought by a North America Box Office 100 million movie for Film Studio. Many unrelated people marveled at Eric's vision. At the same time, Fox sold all the copyright executives of "An Affair to Remember" at the price of 3200,000 USD. They also left Fox in distress.
Although I was amazed by Firefly outside, Eric found that many things are becoming more and more wrong. Originally, according to the contract, Columbia should pay 《Running Out of Time》 8 more than 8 million USD share to Firefly, and 《Friends》 advertising share should also be in December Settlement, but the two large companies are looking for various reasons to repeatedly shirk. Eric even went to Columbia and Fox continuously, but did not see the helm of the two companies.
Next, when Eric asked the newly appointed financial director of Firefly, Carloyn Elliot, to apply for loans to several banks with a movie contract in the hands of Firefly, within a few days, the loan application was blocked by various reasons. .
December 31, the last day of the year, Eric traveled outside for a day, but several things were fruitless. Back to the Malibu villa, Eric sat on the sofa for a long time and pondered for a long time. After sorting out all the unusual details, he then had to dial the Jeffrey phone to New York Chris for Christmas. After the call was connected, Eric said heavily: "Jeffrey, it may be a big deal ..."
