"Eric, let's see, the situation is not what you think, the Europe first-line actresses Carole Bouquet, Nastassja Kinski, Isabelle Huppert, Isabelle Adjani either rejected the invitation or were very interested in this story, but hope you can delete丨 Passionate drama, "said Jeffrey in the office, handing a stack of mail to Eric.

Eric took over and looked at each other ’s receipts silently one by one. After a while, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It seems that I think it is too simple."

"Of course, it ’s difficult to have a first-line actress with good acting in" Basic Instinct ", even for these Europe actresses, although they are really acceptable to the scale of this movie, but if they If you are interested in the development of Hollywood, it will not be easy to pick up this kind of movie, otherwise it will have a great impact on their image in Hollywood. If there is no intention to develop Hollywood, let alone, you are not film's taste It is in line with most of the Europe actresses who are used to making art films. "

"Yes," Eric suddenly lowered his head and looked at several emails in his hand: "The manager reply from Carole Bouquet said the other party was very interested in this movie. Please contact me to see if she can fly to Los Angeles for an interview . "

Jeffrey looked at the Carole Bouquet information and laughed: "Eric, the image of this French actress really matches the setting of Catherine Tramell. However, the other party just won the French Kaiser Award for Best Actress in March this year. It ’s even harder to persuade. "

"Then package and bind, I plan to have a Heroine of a movie that she can try, it is also a big production, the investment will not be less than 60 million USD."

"Why don't I know," Jeffrey immediately came to interest: "Tell me about it?"

Eric smiled and shook his head: "This is confidential first, and it's not necessarily my next movie. I have asked Stan to do the special effects of" Ghost "while preparing for the preliminary technical development of" Jurassic Park ". So. After "Ghost", my specific work arrangements have not been decided, maybe I will start preparing "Jurassic Park". Or maybe, I will shoots some other simple special effects movies to accumulate experience. "

"Well, I wo n’t ask," Jeffrey said: "However, Disney is not satisfied with the progress of" Ghost ", he hopes you can start shoots as soon as possible."

"They also do n’t know my filming speed, although this movie will use special effects. But they are not too complicated special effects, I will first put out the parts that need special effects shoots, and give them to Stan for their later stage, one You ca n’t use the month, and it will be completed in mid-June as planned, and there will be nearly one month of promotional time, enough. ”

"I said the same to them," Jeffrey smiled and said: "However, Eric. I think we still have to prepare alternatives. Many local second and third line Actress have handed over the information, you May wish to choose from them. I think there are still many good ones. "

"Hand me a copy of their materials when I leave. I will choose to arrange a simple audition," Eric said.

The two are talking, the Jeffrey assistant knocked on the door: "Mr. Hansson, Mr. Williams, Mr. Roger Spottiswoode and Mr. Don Johnson are here."

"Let ’s go," Jeffrey said to Eric: "Finally, Director and the actor have now been determined."

Eric and Jeffrey came to a small meeting room. The three people in the room quickly stood up. Eric saw Melanie Griffith appear here. A little surprised, but soon relieved. Melanie Griffith is the wife of Don Johnson.

To be honest, before Don Johnson, it was just TV Actor. On the fame is far less than her wife Melanie Griffith, it is estimated that Melanie Griffith came together to cheer her husband, the two married only more than a year, the marriage is still in the honeymoon period.

Eric also chose Don Johnson as the actor of "Basic Instinct" only because of a movie in memory. As for the Michael Douglas of original, Eric felt that the other party was too old. Although the acting skills were good, Eric always felt that the other party was weak Some did not fully show Nick such a hot temperament inspector.

Shaking hands with the couple, Eric suddenly remembered another person. According to the time, the rebirth of Eric should not affect the appearance of this person. That is the daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, Dakota.Johnson, In parallel time and space, Dakota.Johnson starred in a very famous movie called "Fifty Shades of Grey". Speaking of it, the Melanie Griffith family is also barely considered a Hollywood film family, but it is far from influential in terms of influence. Compared with Coppola Family or Fonda Family.

"Mr. Williams, is there any problem?" Don Johnson asked Eric to look at the couple with great interest and asked curiously.

"Oh, sorry, I suddenly remembered something."

Eric smiled and turned to another person, Roger Spottiswoode, a middle-aged man in his forties with a thin face and eyes. previous life's most famous movie should be "007's Empire of Tomorrow".

But now, although Roger Spottiswoode is forty-five years old, as Director, it has been stunned. There are no outstanding movies. After Jeffrey recommended it to him, Eric specially looked at the other party ’s movie and found that the other party ’s "Basic Instinct" Drama-like movies are very good, and more importantly, Roger Spottiswoode is not only cheap, but also does not require final editing rights, so Eric was quickly determined.

After greeting, the three of them sat down.

"Mr. Spotwood, you have been researching script for several days. Let me talk about your thoughts on this movie."

"Of course, Mr. Williams," Roger Spottiswoode nodded: "I think that" Basic Instinct "is about the detection process of a perverted murder case, but in fact it is depicting a primitive desire. Hope, a wild passion, as can be seen from script, Nick as an inspector is actually a kind of person with the murderer Catherine Tramell. They have the most primitive destruction tendency hidden in their hearts. Therefore, Nick In the process of undercovering, it will excite the murder of innocent tourists. And, after the rock singer was killed, Nick confirmed that Catherine Tramell was the real murderer at the beginning, and after that trial, Nick was teased by Catherine Tramell , The desire in the heart was stimulated, and then there was the next rudeness to Beth ... "

Although Roger Spottiswoode has been doing Director for ten years, it has been stunned, but it has made a lot of effort to understand this script. Several people in the meeting room nodded.

Eric is also aware. Roger Spottiswoode is estimated to be the same as the original Jonathan Demme. Jonathan Demme became famous with Eric's "The Others". Now it has become the first-line Director of Hollywood. It is estimated that Roger Spottiswoode also wants to seize this opportunity tightly. Although the script of "Basic Instinct" is very different from the other movie script of Eric, it is still script written by Eric in the end. Even if it will cause controversy in the future, the firepower will definitely be on Eric As long as this movie is successful, his Director can go further.

A few people have been discussing all aspects of shoots for "Basic Instinct" ​​all afternoon. After work, Eric returned to Cliff Peak Manor with a thick stack of optional Actress files.

Pushing the door into the villa, a petite figure greeted him.

"Hi. Vicky, when will you be back?" Eric kissed the girl and asked.

"The plane that leaves at 10:30 in the morning feels terrible. I do n’t want to take the plane for that long time anymore." Virginia complained, holding the arm of Eric. The girl went to Europe to attend a film award ceremony. I want to invite Eric to go, but Eric hasn't made time to say anything. If he attended all awards in person, it would definitely be tired to death. And Jonathan Demme is nervously shoots 《The Silence of the Lambs》, and finally only let Virginia run.

"Actually, I hate taking long-distance flights too. The experience of going to Venice was terrible," Eric said with a smile: "Since I'm back, just stay here, I'm going to New York in a few days, you Help me watch the house. "

“I ’m not going to help you watch the house,” the girl said groaningly: “Yes, in the afternoon, a person named Michael.Claus sent you a sample of your new book. I ’ve read it and the story is written. It's really wonderful, just a little short. "

Virginia said that after leaving for a while, he took a hardcover version of the book, the cover design specially explained by Eric, and ‘The Matrix’ was written in the middle of the green digital stream.

Eric looked at the cover and nodded, "Yes, I didn't expect to be published so soon."

Walk on the sofa in the hall and sit down, Eric turned and looked.

Virginia put away Eric's coat and office bag lightly, then came over and leaned against the man to sit down. Eric naturally grabbed the waist of Virginia.

Virginia giggled a few times, then lay on the sofa, pillowed on the thighs of Eric, and felt a pair of big hands drilled into the neckline and kneaded gently, and soon his face was reddish, and the chest undulations accelerated slightly.

"Have you decided on your next movie?" Eric asked casually.

"Not yet. I have received a lot of script. They are all horror movies." The Others "has just passed. If I continue to play horror movies, it will be difficult to transform in the future.

The girl said, she opened the book in front of her and looked at Eric brightly.

"Okay, let me take care of you," Eric said casually.

"Well, otherwise, would you please write another script for me?"

Eric smiled and squeezed gently on the girl's face: "It's really greedy, do you play" Basic Instinct "?"

Virginia happened to have seen script of "Basic Instinct" and glared at Eric strangely, provocatively: "If you let me play, I will play."

Eric pretended to turn Virginia angrily, and pumped a few times on the girl's ass. Virginia hummed softly on Eric legs.

"Okay, get up," Eric said helplessly.

"It hurts, you're so hateful, not at all thoughtful" Virginia twisted his blushing face and complained a few times, but quickly got up.

"I don't have a script that is too suitable for you at the moment, so you should try to let Kapoor help you pick it, or find some to take it for me to look at," Eric explained, seeing the girl nodding Only then continued: "Right. Help me bring the bag just now, I still have some things to deal with."

"Now it's off work," the girl said. I got up and took the briefcase.

Eric took out a stack of Actress files and put them on his knees to read them one by one. From time to time, he selected a one that felt good and set it aside.

"What do these do?" Virginia picked up a piece of information curiously and looked at it. Asked.

"Candidate list of" Basic Instinct "Actress," Eric said: "Almost all the Actress on the Europe side have been rejected. The Actress on the Hollywood line will basically not be picked up. I can only choose from the second and third lines."

"Actually, many acting skills in the second and third line Actor are still good."

"This is of course, but I do n’t have the time to pick pearls in the sand now. Of course, I can use some first-line Actor with insurance to use them as much as possible. In this way, Box Office also has certain protection."

Virginia sighed lightly, and soon felt that he was really lucky: "Eric, then you are busy, I went to dinner, what would you like to eat?"

"Random, you just do it," Eric said without looking up.

The girl knew that Eric was telling the truth, Eric was always picky about eating, so she stood up and walked to the kitchen.

Eric just picked half. The phone behind him rang, Eric got up and took the cordless phone and pressed the answer button. The voice of Jeffrey came from: "Jeffrey. Is there anything?"

"..."

Jeffrey on the phone said for a while, Eric thought for a while, and said: "Okay, just talk on the phone, you give me the phone number here Carole Bouquet."

"..."

"No problem, then I'm hanging up." Eric pressed the on-hook button, placed the cordless phone on the coffee table in front of him, and continued to pick up the Actress list in front of him.

After more than ten minutes, the phone rang again. Eric picked it up, and a female voice with a somewhat non-standard English pronunciation came across: "Hello. Mr. Williams, I am Carole Bouquet."

......

After half an hour. Virginia came out of the kitchen and shouted Eric for dinner. Seeing that Eric was still holding a phone in his hand, he walked around the open space by the floor-to-ceiling window, and said something in a dance.

After a while, Virginia saw that Eric hung up the phone, and dropped the cordless phone on the sofa, and the whole person seemed to be exhausted on the sofa.

The girl walked to Eric and asked thoughtfully: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I invited a French Actress, Carole Bouquet, and wanted the other to appear in" Basic Instinct ", but she still refused."

Virginia wanted to ridicule a bit, but I still could n’t think of a Actor that Eric could n’t invite. However, looking at Eric on the sofa, he quickly kept his emotions and exhorted: “That ’s slow The slow selection is done, anyway, no one is willing to play. Um ... Carole Bouquet, the spokesperson of Chanel No. 5 a few years ago? "

"Yes, also starred in Bond girl," Eric nodded.

"I think of it a bit. It is said that she is a very individual woman. After she played Bond girl, she was unwilling to continue to be a vase and returned to France to perform literary films."

“Do n’t talk about her, just refuse,” Eric lost track, anyway, this is the case with most movies of Hollywood, and the twists and turns when casting, even if it is Steven Speilberg or James Cameron will not be an exception, remember previous life Cameron spent a lot It took only a few months to persuade Fox to agree to let Leonardo play the role of "Titanic" Jack.

"So, let's eat first," Virginia said.

Eric nodded and stood up and walked towards the restaurant.

It's more than ten o'clock in the middle of the night. Virginia is wearing pajamas, holding a pillow in his arms and leaning on the big bed, watching Eric still walking around and calling the list in his hand.

"... I don't care about this, I haven't arranged to give them enough time tomorrow morning, if they can't come, they can only say sorry ... Tomorrow I will make the Heroine of" Basic Instinct "... Yes, on the spot, New York also called over an hour ago. Royce They have been waiting for New York for a week. Both protagonists have passed. I ca n’t waste any more time. Just like that, I hung up. ”

Sighed. Eric took the line and placed the phone on the landline at the head of the bed before it fell to the bed with some fatigue. Reaching for the soft body of Virginia, sniffing the body fragrance of the girl greedily. The irritability in my heart suddenly dissipated a lot.

Virginia small hands gently massage the temple for Eric, softly said: "Eric, must be so urgent? You are already so good, why do you make yourself so tired."

"These were originally plans for the first half of the year, but unfortunately because of the incident at the beginning of the year, more than three months were wasted in vain, and now it will become like this," Eric explained. The tone is somewhat weak: "I always feel that time is too tight and I want to do too much."

"I really hope I can help you, but unfortunately I won't do anything," Virginia said softly.

Eric smiled and tightened the girl ’s waist tighter: "Actually, you can help me, be my big pillow, I like to hold the woman to sleep."

"Are you just hugging and sleeping?" the girl said ambiguously, reaching for the lights in the bedroom, and the room suddenly dimmed because the sound insulation was very good. Although there is wind outside, there will be no sound of waves, and there is silence around.

"Yeah. Just hug," Eric said with the girl in her arms, her head leaning on Virginia's full chest. Unconsciously, her eyelids had begun to fight and she quickly fell asleep.

The girl was stunned for a while before pulling on the quilt to cover the two with pity.

......

In the audition room of Firefly, a woman in a simple coat sat down on a chair and lifted her long legs with ease. He took out his cigarette from his pocket, with a faint expression on his face. A careless smile.

"No smoking here, Miss Chu Mei." The assistant behind the camera said to the line.

Girls glanced at the assistant's position with all kinds of charms and said, "What are you going to do, sue me for smoking?"

After the girl finished, she smoked a cigarette and spit out a light blue smoke.

After a brief silence, the assistant said again: "Can you tell me your relationship with Mr. Buzz?"

"I have probably maintained a sexual relationship with him for more than a year. I like to have **** with him. He is not afraid of making new attempts. I like the kind of man who can give me great happiness," girl Smoking a cigarette while telling my desires unabashedly.

"Have you played s 丨 m?" the assistant asked again.

The girl still smiles: "You guessed it."

"Will you tie him up?"

"No,"

"Have you never tied him up?"

"No," the girl denied again: "Johnny likes to use his own hands, I like his hands."

After the girl finished this line, the assistant was about to continue, but Eric interrupted: "Okay, let ’s go here."

The girl sitting on the chair suddenly showed a look of disappointment, and at the same time complained in her heart. Firefly gave too little preparation time. She received an invitation to audition in the morning and hurried over, with less than an hour of preparation time.

However, despite complaining in her heart, the girl did not dare to reveal it in front of the young person. Otherwise, there is no hope at all: "Mr. Williams, I think, I can try again."

"No need," Eric said: "Miss Nielsen, although your appearance is very suitable for the role of Catherine Tramell, but your performance makes me not see too much breath of Kathryn, you just behaved too convergently, It ’s like walking carefully on the one-way bridge. I understand that it ’s probably because you do n’t have enough time to prepare. However, the deadliest point is that I did n’t see the potential in you. It ’s a potential to release the aura of Kathryn. , So I can only say sorry. "

Eric explained so patiently. Although the girl was still a little unwilling, she didn't ask for anything. After she got up and thanked her, she opened the door and left.

After the girl left, Jeffrey could n’t help but say: “Eric, I think your mood is not right, you are too impatient. Or should we rest for half an hour, and give those Actress more Hours of preparation time, there are only 11 people left anyway, we have enough time to complete all auditions. "

Eric sighed and looked at his watch. It was indeed enough time. He has just eliminated eight auditions on the spot. If he continues to do so, he will find nothing today. Heroine "Basic Instinct" ​​will continue to be stranded.

"Notify them and rest for half an hour." Eric stood up and said to Jeffrey: "I go out and breathe."

"Well, go." Jeffrey nodded.

Eric opened the door and went out. The audition girls who were sitting on the bench in the hallway waiting to see him came out. Can't help standing up.

"Resume for half an hour, you can go to the meeting room over there to prepare again," Eric said to the women, and then walked to the other side of the corridor.

The remaining women glanced at each other, and several of them were eager to try to catch up, but in the end none of them moved.

When I came to the bathroom at the end of the corridor, Eric just wanted to go in and wash his face, and a woman suddenly came out of it. It just happened to hit Eric, because he didn't stand firm, he fell to the ground and Eric took a step back.

The girl was originally a little angry. After seeing Eric, she stood up in a panic: "i’m-sorry, Mr. Williams, I did n’t mean it."

"It's okay, I'm wrong," Eric shook his head. Looking at the girl with very special eyes on the opposite side, said: "Your name is Joanna Pacula?"

The girl's eyes lit up, and she nodded quickly: "Yes. Mr. Williams, I didn't expect you to know me, by the way, audition over there ..."

"Half an hour of rest, you can prepare more," Eric said, moving a little in her heart, and said: "Miss Pacula, can you say it again?"

"What?" The girl heard the audition pause. She didn't mean to go back, she felt it was a good opportunity.

"Yes. The first sentence you just made."

Joanna Pacula thought about it, though it was unclear. Still said: "i’m-sorry ..."

"Yes, this is the sentence, say it a few times," Eric leaned against the corner wall and bowed his head to take out his cigarette.

Joanna Pacula heard Eric to make continuous apologies, and suddenly felt a sudden turmoil: "Mr. Williams, I just did n’t mean it."

"Wrong, not this sentence," Eric shook his head.

"i'm-sorry, i'm-sorry, i'm, sorry ..." The girl tightly squeezed the small red leather bag in her hand and repeated her mouth repeatedly. She felt that the young Director in front of her was really too much.丨 Stated, I just accidentally bumped into him, just tossing myself like this. For a time, Joanna Pacula felt that this character must have missed himself today, and wanted to pluck up his courage and walk away, but still had a trace of expectation in his heart.

"Okay, stop," Eric finally interrupted the girl ’s repetition: "The accent is wrong and it does n’t sound good."

"..."

"I read your information last night, you are from Poland, were you still the Actor of the Polish National Theatre?"

"Yes," the girl nodded.

"Why do you come to United States, the state-level theater is better than making a third-rate Actor in Hollywood?"

Joanna Pacula was silent for a while before saying, "Because of political governance ..."

Eric nodded and asked no more. He was not interested in politics at all. He carefully looked at the Joanna Pacula in front of him. The other party was the same age as Heroine Sharon Stone of Basic Instinct original. By comparison, Sharon Stone is much older than the girl in front of her, and she is believed to be in her early 20s.

"I can't really tell you, you are 33 years old," Eric said with emotion.

Joanna Pacula has a somewhat sad expression, and women always do not like to pay attention to their age.

What's more, it's sad to think about the situation in these years. She was under house arrest in 1980 because of the political turmoil in Poland, and she finally emigrated to United States. The man who helped her immigrate did not. Regardless of her, she married another woman.

In the past few years, she has been alone in Hollywood and feels like a lonely ghost. Although she starred in Heroine in a low-cost horror film last year, the film only got more than 1 million. The poor Box Office did not bring any improvement to her career.

Joanna Pacula was more and more sad, more and more sad, and glanced at the man in front of him. It was clearly his fault, and he had to repeatedly apologize himself. It was really abominable. The girl suddenly felt that the whole world was bullying her, ignoring her Tears had already filled up.

"Well, what's the matter with you," Eric saw tears in Joanna Pacula, and was suddenly at a loss, and felt it from his pocket, finally found a paper towel and handed it over: "Don't cry."

The girl turned to paper towel and wiped her eyes, but the more she rubbed, the more sad she was, she could n’t help but choked up: “You **** United States people, that **** that year, sent me to United States, just let go … You are also a bastard, I just accidentally bumped you, you just bullied me like that, you bastards, you all bullied me. ”

Eric raised her hands in a panic, seeing the girl chattering with a non-standard accent, and finally gradually getting impatient, raised her voice and said, "Okay, stop."

The girl's voice was stagnant, she touched her tears, and became more awake. She suddenly realized what she was now, and soon regretted it. This time it was a complete ruin.

After the girl stopped crying, Eric asked: "Oh, I did n’t watch carefully last night. Why do you want to play this movie?"

"What?"

"I mean," Basic Instinct "." Eric continued.

"So what happened," Joanna Pacula asked softly, puzzled.

Eric thought for a while and said: "I do n’t want you to star in this movie. You should go to some mainstream movies. Since you can enter the Polish National Theatre, there must be no problem with acting skills."

"Do you think I don't want to play mainstream movies?" Joanna Pacula said: "However, where do I get this opportunity? I have participated in many auditions, and without one success, they can always find a variety of Reason refused me, and I can't compete with the local Actor. "

Eric thought about it and said, "Well, do n’t take part in today ’s audition."
