The little fairy in the memory of "Hook" is the Julia. With Julia now starring in the Box Office appeal brought by three Box Office breaking 100 million movies, the competitiveness must be a long way from Nicole.
Thinking of this, Eric realized that from yesterday to now, Nicole always mentioned the name Julia's intentionally or unintentionally. The sudden outbreak yesterday afternoon was definitely due to the strong imbalance in my heart.
In this competition, Nicole ’s biggest rival is definitely Julia. Although the last movie of Nicole just failed, but the popularity she has accumulated with "Sleepless in Seattle" is still in the ranks of superstar. In this case, competing with other actresses of Hollywood for the role of little fairy, Nicole has a very high chance of winning.
But Julia joins is completely different. What does it mean for all three consecutive movies that Box Office broke 100 million? Take a look at Schwarzenegger just knows, because two consecutive movies Box Office broke 100 million, Schwarzenegger shouted the high price of 15 million USD to "Terminator 2: Judgement Day".
It can be said that Julia is now the most attractive Box Office queen of Hollywood. If she is interested in any movie, for the sake of benefit, not to mention the seven rich Film Studios, even if they are independent Production Studio, they are willing to smash pots and sell iron. ⊥ ◆ Make a high pay to invite her to star in.
In this case, unless Julia takes the initiative to let go, otherwise her favorite character, other actresses, don't even want to fight for it.
Spielberg can see from the expression of Eric, Eric must know who he was referring to. "Hook" such a high-profile movie project, the crew's every move will attract strong attention. The news that Julia participated in the audition of the little fairy Ting Kebaier has also been dug out by paparazzi.
Nicole, who had been sitting quietly beside him, secretly looked at Eric's face. Hesitant to see the man. Nicole's hand holding the tableware became slightly harder.
“Eric and Sony Film Industry have great support for this project, and funding is not a problem at all. Moreover, the producers on Samsung ’s side also hope that Miss Roberts will appear, so the question now is if Miss Kidman wants to get it For this role, unless someone can persuade Miss Roberts to quit actively. "
Finally speaking. Spielberg's looks a little ambiguous. Julia can become Hollywood's super superstar in just two years. Everyone knows that all this is inseparable from the support of this young man in front of me. The three Julia's movies are all from Firefly Pictures It can be seen.
Although Julia's latest "Sleeping with the Enemy" does not seem to have anything to do with Eric, Robert Shay has spared no effort to brag about his credit, but some people in the IQ circle will not think so. Therefore, the relationship between Eric and Julia's will be forthcoming, as for the specific relationship. Spielberg is not very concerned, the reason why he will come here in person today. In fact, there is another purpose. Therefore, Spielberg quickly pointed out: "So, Eric, as long as you can persuade Miss Roberts to withdraw, I can directly take the role to Miss Kidman."
Eric glanced at Nicole and quickly said: "I will say hello to Julia. As for this role, please, Steven. If there is any need for my help in the future, please open your mouth."
"Actually, I happen to need some help today," Spielberg said with a smile at Eric.
Eric was stunned for a while, and there was an illusion in his heart, but he was able to return this relationship immediately. Eric was still very happy: "Otherwise, we have lunch and talk again?"
Spielberg nodded: "No problem."
After lunch, the two found a seat in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in Linhai. Spielberg had been carrying the satchel around when he came here, and took out a bound script from the inside and pushed it to Eric.
"Eric, this is script of" Hook ", you can read it first."
Eric pressed script on the coffee table and rubbed the cover, and asked, "Steven, what are you?"
Spielberg leaned back on the sofa and looked at the sea outside the window. A tired look appeared on his face. After a while, he said: "Eric, now on newspaper, I ’ve been telling me about Peter Pan since childhood. I am interested in the story, and I always want to make this story into a movie by myself. This statement is not wrong. However, I am now in my forties, and to be honest, I have no interest in this story. I am confirming this project. Before, I have resigned several times in a row, but this time the Samsung Film Industry CEO Mike McDavroy who hosted this project was my manager. He personally begged me to take over this project, so I had to take over. "
"You have no confidence in this script?" Eric asked critically.
Spielberg did not deny it, and said in a low voice: "I feel that if the film is made according to the script in front of me, this project is likely to be a serious overdraft on my personal reputation."
Eric still did not pick up the script in front of him, and asked again: "What can I do?"
"I watched your" Home Alone "series specifically these days, especially second part. This sequel combines many elements of humanity with the children's style of the film. It is perfect for me. The movie is very distressed, so I hope you can help look at this script. I know that at your own price, a screenwriter fee is definitely insufficient, so if you are willing to participate in the script modification, I can contact Samsung Communicate and let you participate in part of the investment in the movie. "
Spielberg said it was full of sincerity, and Eric was not good enough to quit, and picked up script and read it.
Spielberg quietly drank the coffee delivered by Nicole for the two, and paid attention to the expression of Eric from time to time. Although Eric did not show too much, Spielberg still noticed the small details of Eric's occasional frown.
script is very long. If all shoots comes out, it is estimated that there are two and a half hours. previous life Eric has not seen this movie. Just heard some information about this movie.
Originally, Eric felt. As a Spielberg movie. Even if the evaluation is not high, it should n’t be worse no matter how bad it is, but at this time the process of reading script made Eric entangled. He wanted to give up several times and advised Spielberg not to shoot.
But this project has now started, the two male protagonists Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman have signed a contract, a large amount of money has also been invested in the preliminary preparations, plus most people have confidence in the movie. It is basically impossible to stop.
It took almost an hour to complete the script Eric with more than one hundred pages.
Let go of script, Eric said to Spielberg: "Steven, you have much more experience in making movies than me, and you are aware of what is wrong with this script, right?"
Spielberg nodded: "Samsung hopes to make this movie into an all-age movie, just like" Alien et ", but how about this script ..."
"According to my understanding, if shoots comes out of this movie, it will not please both adults and teenagers."
Spielberg smiles a bit bitterly: "It is indeed so."
"Let ’s talk about" Alien et ", the reason this movie will become a very successful all-age movie. Because there are things in the movie that everyone is interested in, first of all. Alien this The theme is very attractive to adults, and similarly, the friendship between et and several small protagonists also strongly attracts teenagers, so this movie will have a huge Box Office success. "
As one of his most proud works so far, Spielberg listened to the analysis of Eric and nodded from time to time with a smile, obviously somewhat proud.
But Eric quickly turned to script in front of him: "But this" Hook "is obviously not the case. From the perspective of script, the movie wants to express too much. If you have not read the original book, most people Even the relationship of the characters in the movie is difficult to sort out. Although many people have heard the name of Peter Pan, I dare to say that most people's understanding of Peter Pan is just stuck in the "a child who does not want to grow up" In terms of species and its superficial understanding, as for the stories in the original Peter Pan, such as the stories behind Hawke and the Crocodile, Peter Pan and Hawk, or Peter Pan and the Little Fairy, few people know. "
Spielberg is clearly aware of what, but always ca n’t grasp the main points. As a very common Western patient with dyslexia, Spielberg is really not talented in writing script. Up to now, he is the most successful. In several movies, no screenwriter is his own. Spielberg can turn a story shoots into a good movie, but it does not have the talent to adapt an idea into a good script.
"So, because most people don't know the specific story of Peter Pan's original work, we don't need to add so many details from the original work to script, this will only make the audience look confused."
"Sure enough, I suddenly found that I was in a misunderstanding," Spielberg said suddenly: "Because when I was a child, my mother read the whole original work to me, subconsciously felt that others should know all the stories in the movie, So when writing script with James, I always wanted to add these details to it, but the result became a bloated story. "
Eric smiled and said: "Yes, but this is only one of the problems. In addition, the positioning of this movie, even if it is a family carnival movie, should also have a focus, just like" Home Alone2 ", although adding It ’s a lot of adult elements, but the main positioning is still children. However, from the script I have seen, the positioning of this story is very confusing. For children, they obviously will not like the long foreshadowing of the first 30 minutes, children. It is the most impatient. 30 minutes is enough for them to lose all interest in this movie. For adults, the plot of Peter Pan and their friends on Neverland is definitely not pleasing. "
"Perhaps we should find an element that is of great interest to all viewers and connect the two plots together," Spielberg suddenly exclaimed.
The two looked at each other and looked at each other, but did not participate in this discussion. They sat quietly and watched magazine's Nicole not far away: "Little fairy!"
"Yes, I think the little fairy is like the et in" Alien et ". This is a very pleasing character. As an elf with a size of a few inches, and a little beauty, this character It will be loved by adults and children at the same time, but in the story, the little fairy is not enough, and the playing time is too late. I think it should be played within ten minutes. "
Spielberg took a look at script for a while, and then said: "This is indeed a good note, and I suddenly felt that I should delete the shot of the little fairy who grew up kissing Peter Pan, which is just too Oops, there should n’t be any emotional drama between them, um ... maybe to add a little ambiguity to cater to the adult audience, but more of them should be friendship ... "
After opening the line of thought, the two began a heated discussion, and it was not until the sunset that Eric sent Spielberg out of the villa.
"Eric, I really hope you can participate in this movie. I can win at least 20% of the investment for Samsung. I hope you can think about it. I believe that according to us After the amendments discussed in the afternoon, this film will have great potential, "Before getting on the train, Spielberg still did not give up the plan to persuade Eric to enter the game.
After an afternoon of discussion, Eric also regained some confidence in this story, but he still did not intend to invest in funds: "Steven, this is your project, I just provided a little modification, and I have Your own movie is busy. "
Although Spielberg knows that Eric said these words just as excuses, but he is not easy to force: "Since this is the case, then, right, regarding the question of the role of the little fairy, please give me an accurate message as soon as possible. I ’ll arrange it for you, so I ’ll leave and see you again. "
"I will, bye," Eric beckoned, watching Spielberg's car go away.
"Eric, this should be a good opportunity, why are you reluctant to participate in investment?" After Spielberg left, Nicole couldn't help but ask.
"Although script has undergone some modifications, the story itself is flawed and the profit margin is not large," Eric shook his head: "Moreover, Spielberg and the two male protagonists did not receive any pay this time, but directly participated The final profit share of the film, do you know how much they will get? "
"Huh?" Nicole looked at Eric and issued a puzzled syllable.
Eric stretched out four fingers: "The three of them want to take the last 40% of the film's profit. This is not the kind of profit sharing for investors other than Hollywood, but the omni-channel profit of the film. The producer basically does not make much money, and Sony only earns a reputation in the end. Rather than participate in the investment, it is better to use this money to make another movie. "
Nicole has also seen reports on the expected profit of "Hook". It is said that this movie will earn 200 million in the future, and 40% of the profit will be 80 million USD.
"Eric, if ... I mean if I get this role, how much do you think Sony Film Industry will pay me?"
"I helped Spielberg a lot today, and rejected his investment proposal, so rest assured, he will definitely win a very good contract for you, he had hinted when he just left."
Nicole quickly remembered the obscure ‘I ’ll arrange it for you’ when Spielberg left, apparently referring to the little fairy character. Nicole was a little jumpy at first, but soon asked worriedly: "Then, Julia Roberts over there ..."
Eric patted the girl's back and said comfortably: "I will call Julia first at night." (To be continued ...)
