Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
Hearing this question, Drew laughed and said haha: "Curious, yes, I brought you a gift back, in my suitcase, and brought it to you at night."
"There must be something hiding from me," Eric knocked on the door of her mind and said, "If you are in trouble, it is best not to let me know the last one, otherwise I won't care about you."
"Humph, you don't care who cares," the girl released his arm when Eric sat down on the office chair and said.
Eric smiled, picked up the folder on the table, opened it, and said casually: "Oh, you still rely on me."
"This is an obvious matter," small girl said, looking at the document in Eric's hand, and asked casually, "What are these?"
"Alternative list of" Ghost "male Actor," Eric replied, small girl pulled out a few pieces of information, and pulled a chair to turn over and looked, it was not like issuing "Wow" so handsome " the sound of.
Eric shook his head helplessly and continued to read. The casting of "Ghost" is very different from the casting of the previous films of Eric. Previously, they had released audition news and then accepted the initiative of Actor. The files are subject to sea elections.
However, in the current status of Eric, when using the angle selection method of fishing in the sea, the received files are expected to squeeze the Firefly delivery room, and there are also great problems in selection. Therefore, this time " The selection of "Ghost" This is to stipulate a series of prerequisites for the three major Brokerage Firm, let the other side recommend qualified Actor over. Although many small Brokerage Firm's Actor may lose their chances because of this, it is also impossible. Hollywood has always been so unfair and no one can change it.
In spite of this, there are hundreds of documents about the current actor Actor in Eric.
As for the original male & female leads of "Ghost", Eric was not considered at the beginning. Because of some information in the memory, Eric does not like Demi Moore, this reason is enough. With his current status, there is no need to explain to anyone.
As for Pa Terry K. Switz. Eric still feels that the other party is more suitable for acting movies. The actor Sam in the movie is set to be an Wall Street investment banking department Manager. However, Eric thinks that Par Terry K. Switzer is more suitable for playing the security of the investment bank.
The performance of Demi Moore in "Ghost" in memory is still barely remarkable, but Par Terry K. Switzer is completely a male vase, or a very unsightly male vase.
Eric feels that the actor of this movie. First of all, there should be a successful personality of the bank Manager, and secondly, it is best to bring a little literary atmosphere.
Actually, when he first considered the actor, he thought of a man almost immediately.
Yes, Tom Cruise.
Cruise is fully compliant with the requirements of Eric in terms of acting and image, or Box Office appeal. Although there were some gaps between the two people because of the cooperation of 《Running Out of Time》 last time, Eric still sent an invitation to Cruise, and the other party also responded. There is no specific content, just an interview tomorrow.
Cruise has not produced any movies since leaving caa to become its own Production Studio. However, Eric also made people hear that Cruise's Production Studio is now preparing for a movie, or the investment from Paramount, Cruise and his partner Paula Wagner also served as Producer.
Thus, although Eric agreed to the interview tomorrow, he did not expect much from Cruise to participate in "Ghost". It is reasonable to choose from these Actor patiently.
Eric looked at the materials in the study and chatted with small girl from time to time. Unconsciously, the sky outside was dark.
At more than seven o'clock. Nicole only shouted that the two had finished their meal.
"Let ’s go and have dinner quickly. I think you must be hungry too. By the way, tonight is the premiere of" Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? ". I can get all the questions you think about in the question bank, tonight Maybe Oh will appear. "Eric said, taking small girl out of the study.
In the restaurant, Drew sat at the table blah blah talking about what he saw in shoots 《The Silence of the Lambs》 in Pennsylvania state, while Nicole was sitting next to Eric, sandwiching dishes for men from time to time, a gentle and considerate look. If the talking small girl is ten years younger, this looks very much like a family of three.
After dinner, Drew could n’t wait to come to a slightly smaller living room, turned on the TV and tuned to Fox TV Station, and the show had n’t started yet.
Soon after, Eric moved a laptop to this living room, sat down in the middle of the couch, put the laptop on his knee, and tapped it. Although it is the latest laptop of IBM, compared with previous life, this laptop is still very clumsy and ugly, and the configuration is also low. But now it is impossible to find too good laptops on the market, Eric can only be used together. Anyway, he just wrote script on it to see the file. Although the computer's memory is very low, it is enough for office work.
After washing the dishes, Nicole came to this living room with a fruit tray and sat down on the other side of Eric. Looking at the Eric finger as if flexing on the keyboard flexibly, a little admiration flashed in my eyes, what could this man do?
"Wow, it ’s started, Eric, do n’t be busy, let ’s watch TV."
Eric nodded and closed the notebook.
The studio of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" is very simple in design. There is a stage in the middle. The host and the panelists sit on both sides. Under the stage is a circle of live audiences. Behind is a large screen where you can see the content of the question. .
Participants are divided into several groups, and each group will go through a short round of competition. Whoever answers the correct questions first will get the opportunity to answer the questions face-to-face with the host.
"Eh, Eric, how do I feel that it is very different from the plan book I have seen? Many settings are not used, and the topics are not classified, I remember the plan book you wrote, A guest can choose the setting of a certain type of question. Well. I am so disappointed, "Drew complained on Eric after watching it for a while.
Eric explained casually: "This is strategy."
"What strategy?" Drew asked curiously. Nicole also looked over.
"This is done to facilitate the upgrade of the program. To prolong the life of the program, if this program is set perfectly from the beginning, then there will not be much room for changes in the future, so, etc. The audience is tired, and the life of this program is summarized, and now it is. The program did not look perfect at first. Some novel links were retained. After a period of time, the audience experienced aesthetic fatigue and the ratings fell. When it is launched in time, it will arouse the interest of the audience again. Just like the clothes your girls wear, every year those clothing companies will launch new styles. Although the changes are not too big, as long as there is this gimmick. After appropriate advertising, customers can swipe their cards and pay. "
"It turns out like this," the girl nodded clearly. Nicole also showed a thoughtful look.
On the TV, the first contestant has been selected and boarded the middle stage. After a brief self-introduction, he quickly started to answer the questions.
Although the setting of some links at the beginning of the program is relatively simple, in terms of atmosphere, Firefly and Fox have put a lot of effort.
Every word of the host, every reminder from the TV. Even the sound of the countdown to answer the questions all made the audience lift the heartstrings.
And. The topics at the beginning are very simple, although individual guests on the stage may be hesitant. But if the family is sitting in front of the TV, perhaps a few words will be able to get the answer. This situation will also give the audience in front of the TV a sense of superiority, and soon like this kind of program.
"Wow, which is the highest plateau in the world with the highest average altitude. I do n’t know such a simple question. Even I know hey, Eric. This will not be the kind of daycare you found, deliberately appetite people." Looking at the hesitant gaze of the middle-aged man from Ohio on the TV, Drew asked suspiciously.
Eric shrugged: "How is this possible, this show is pursuing reality, these people are selected from all over entire US, plus other TV Station and the media are watching closely, if we look for child care If it ’s exposed, it ’s very harmful to the popularity of the show. Although this is indeed a very simple problem, everyone has their own blind spots of knowledge. Stuck. "
Drew nodded, barely believing Eric, and the panelists on the TV successfully completed the question after using the opportunity for help.
Eric did not follow the United Kingdom version of the 15-question system, but chose 12 questions, and also set two maintenance points for the fifth and tenth questions.
Because it was the first show, the program team selected some excellent guests, and did not mind that a millionaire appeared in the first show, so that it could more stimulate the interest of the audience .
Because I just returned from the East Coast, Drew insisted on watching most of it, and lay on the thigh of Eric and fell asleep. At the end of the program, the phone in the living room rang and Nicole stood up consciously Get the mobile phone.
Eric pressed the connect button, ah ah ah said a few words, hung up randomly.
"What's the matter?" Nicole asked faintly and asked curiously.
"It is roughly the statistics of the ratings," Eric glanced at Nicole and said calmly: "The peak ratings are 33 million, average 28 million, not as good as 《Friends》."
Nicole secretly slurs, with an average rating of 28 million, then after stabilizing, it must be another high-rated program with a rating that exceeds 20 million.
For such a program, the advertising cost of each issue is not lower than 5 million USD, which is equivalent to her current offer price. And she is able to pick up one or two movies every year, and the pay is also very unstable, but this program, 5 million USD can be credited every week. If the film pay has remained at the current level, the one-year income of this show is estimated to be equivalent to her acting in a lifetime film.
"Eric, how much can Firefly get from this program?" Nicole couldn't help asking.
Eric glanced at the girl. Although this kind of thing is not too sensitive, it is not suitable for promotion everywhere: "We share copyright with Fox, so the advertising is divided in half, and the producer and the broadcaster are almost right. Half a point. Moreover, the profits around such variety show video tapes are very small, so even if the ratings are comparable to 《Friends》. But in the end, the profits are far less than 《Friends》. However, such a program can bring more popularity. Any TV series has an age limit, but this variety show does not have many restrictions. I believe people between the ages of eight and eighty will be very interested. "
Although Eric talks a lot, Nicole is calculating quickly, and then she finds that Eric individuals can get the 1 million USD share from this movie almost every week, weekly 1 million, so compared . Her current pay is hardly worth mentioning, she is more dead than popular.
The program on the TV was unconsciously finished. Eric glanced strangely at the thoughtful Nicole sitting on the sofa and hugged the sleeping girl and said, "It's too late. You have to rest early too. I sent Drew back to the room. "
"Oh ... um," Nicole nodded quickly.
Eric put the Drew back on the big bed in her bedroom, and then went back to her bedroom to start washing. It did n’t take long for the bed to turn off and the bedroom door was gently pushed open.
"Drew. Is it you?" Eric asked small girl to get tired of him again.
"It's me," Nicole said softly in the dim light.
Eric originally wanted to turn on the bedside lamp to hear the sound of Nicole. Stopped.
The girl walked up and down, and quickly climbed into the big bed and got into his arms.
To be honest, Eric still enjoys sleeping with a fragrant female body in her arms. Embrace the girl in her arms and kiss her on the forehead, saying, "Sleep."
"Well," Nicole said softly, but grabbed the key of Eric restlessly.
"Nicole, I'm a little tired today." Eric said, rubbing the girl's back.
Nicole gasped lightly and said, "Don't move. I'll do it."
The girl finished her clothes and then lifted the quilt. Riding on Eric, the key was swallowed deeply.
Eric reached out and held the girl's waist, slowly enjoying the shaking of Nicole's buttocks.
I do n’t know how long after that, the two sighed with satisfaction at the same time. Nicole lay weakly on the chest of Eric, rested for a while, then stretched out a small tongue, and licked on the chest of Eric, slowly along the way Sliding down, carefully cleaned up Eric, and then quickly ran into the bathroom.
After a while, Nicole came out again and shrank into Eric ’s arms.
"No security measures, is it okay?" Eric asked softly, rubbing the girl's smooth naked back.
Nicole hesitated for a while and said quickly: "Relax, it's okay."
Eric pauses. At this time, he can't say anything serious, he can only say again: "I don't want to have children so early."
"I understand," Nicole in the dark nodded obediently, his eyes blinked a few times, and then dimmed. Although she had some thoughts in her heart, if Eric said so and she still ignored it, then there would be no good results.
Eric also seems to feel the loss of Nicole, and soon said: "Yes, I have a date tomorrow, and Tom Cruise, need a female companion, you go with me."
"Tom Cruise?" Nicole asked.
"Yes, about the actor of" Ghost ", to be honest, I don't like him, but he is indeed very suitable for this role, but I don't have much hope, just try to contact. Cruise Now I have my own Production Studio, I think the other party ’s quotation will not be too low, and the possibility of negotiation is very high. "
"Oh," Nicole nodded recklessly.
At noon the next day, Eric took Nicole to a famous restaurant in Beverly Hills Zhuang.
Say a few words to the waitress, a waitress took her and Nicole to the agreed seat, looked at the time, it was almost twelve, and it was less than five minutes from the appointed time Minutes, Eric originally thought that Cruise should have arrived long ago, but I did not expect that the other party had not yet come. Therefore, he had no more expectations for this appointment.
Nicole looked at the menu in his hand and asked curiously Eric: "Should it be right here?:"
Eric smiled awkwardly: "Relax, yes, but at Hollywood, someone can still let me wait"
Nicole nodded recklessly. She could see that Eric was a little absent-minded, so she also swept away, and the meeting in this place would not be too smooth.
Twelve o'clock is coming soon, Cruise Still does not appear, Eric Playing with the cutlery in his hand, he was about to tell the waiter to give them a cup of coffee or something, and then remembered Cruise 'S voice,
"I'm so sorry, Eric, traffic jam on the road," Cruise said with apology, but there wasn't much sorry on his face.
"It's okay, we have just arrived soon," Eric shook hands with each other, and then shook hands with Paula Wagner who followed Cruise. (To be continued)
