After "17 Again", although Eric has received a lot of invitations, it no longer appears in any movie shots, not even a cameo. But even so, because his rise is too legendary, personal photos will appear on newspaper magazine in three days. Therefore, even if you can't be recognized at a glance when walking on the street, there will always be people who feel familiar.

As there are more and more people in the library hall, the guests who participated in the art exhibition have more and more eyes on Eric, but most people seem to think that they may be similar, and have not come to talk the meaning of. In order to avoid unnecessary harassment, Eric had to take out sunglasses and put it on. This look looks a little different in the hall. For this reason, he was ridiculed slightly by Kathryn.

"This is a story about Golden Apple. When the human hero Palius and the sea goddess Thetis held a wedding, all the gods were invited, but the goddess Eris was rejected. Eris broke into the wedding scene and took out a Golden Apple, saying that it would be given to the most beautiful woman present, which caused a dispute.

Zeus ’wife Hera, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and Eros Aphrodite all thought they should be the one who got the Golden Apple. In the event of a dispute, Zeus appointed the prince of Troy, Paris, who was the shepherd on Mount Ida, to decide the dispute.

The thinking man in the picture is Paris, and on the right are the three goddesses. Because of Eros's promise to make Paris love the most beautiful woman in the world, Paris awarded Golden Apple to Aphrodite. Paris, with the help of Eros, then abducted Helen, the queen of Sparta, who is considered to be the most beautiful woman in the world, thus causing the Trojan War. "

The two walked to an oil painting in the northwest corner. Kathryn whispered to Eric. Although she majored in art criticism in Columbia University. However, he did not explain the composition and color of the works in the exhibition hall to Eric, but only told various background stories involved in these oil paintings. Although many of them are known by Eric, he did not interrupt the woman, but instead I heard it with great interest.

After Kathryn finished speaking, he looked at the thoughtful Eric and asked curiously in a low voice: "What do you think, do you feel bored?"

"Of course not." Eric shook his head: "After thinking about returning to Los Angeles, let them make a plan about the development prospects of Europe myths and history in the field of film development. This type of film theme is a big gold mine. Unfortunately, before Due to special effects and artificial limitations, this type of movie has not had many outstanding works over the years. "

Kathryn is a kind of person who advocates integrating work into Basic Instinct, so she did not make fun of Eric thinking about work in this case, but asked: "You mean epic movies, like" Ben-Hur "and" "Spartacus" like that? "

"Ben-Hur" and "Spartacus" are both Hollywood's Europe epic movies produced in the early 1960s. The former tells the story of the Jewish Ben-Hur against the invasion of the Roman Empire. At that time, he won 11 Oscar awards, becoming an insurmountable history in Oscar. To record. Although the original "Titanic" surpassed "Ben-Hur" in nomination, the number of awards was only the same as "Ben-Hur". The latter is the famous work of film master Stan Lee Kubrick.

At the time, the two films were all super-large investment films, and they used up to tens of thousands of people Actor. In the Hollywood industry, it has become extremely standardized today. It is difficult to reproduce this artificial scale.

Eric and Kathryn left that pair of "Golden Apple" together and said, "It is indeed like" Ben-Hur "and" Spartacus ", these two classics were changed based on the work rather than the historical facts at the time, I think this It is the key to their success in Box Office and awards. "

Kathryn asked: "Why can't it be adapted based on historical facts, I think this is more true?"

The two stopped in front of another oil picture, Eric explained: "But the real history is always too cruel and not flattering. If you develop this type of movie, the investment is definitely a super big production Level, if you want to recover the cost, you must make a large-scale adaptation of history to cater to the tastes of modern audiences. Again, the audience always sees what they want to see. "

Eric finished looking at the woman next to her. Although there are not many Kathryn works till now, he always talks about and conveys some kind of social cognition to the audience. It will be recognized by the awards, and a little carelessness will arouse the audience's disgust.

And in the original time and space until the film that let Kathryn appear in a dozen years later, "The Hurt Locker" used a calm bystander attitude to teach a bomb demo on the Iraqi battlefield without comment, but after everyone watched the movie, It is natural to have aversion and resistance to war. This is the best way to promote anti-war.

Kathryn looked at the oil painting in front of his eyes. This time he did not explain to Eric in a low voice, but said: "I feel like you are talking about my movie?"

Eric smiled: "Yeah, you see that I just did n’t have any vocabulary pointing to your movie, but you can understand my purpose. This is the best way to convey a concept."

Kathryn remembered that when he was on the set of "Point Break" a few months ago, the words said by Eric fell into short-term thoughtfulness, and Eric didn't bother, standing beside and waiting silently.

When it was close to twelve, Eric selected the "Golden Apple" that caused the two to talk, and signed a cheque of 50,000 USD to the organizer. As for how much of this money can be used for the so-called Orphans and disabled children are not considered by Eric.

At noon, Kathryn's friend Becky Murphy took a simple lunch with two people, and the two did not go back. In the afternoon, under the advice of Becky Murphy, the two listened for a long time in a hall in Columbia Four hours of lectures on the history of Europe.

Becky Murphy has been very curious about Eric during the lecture. As a girlfriend of Kathryn, Becky Murphy has heard about the divorce between Kathryn and Cameron. While listening to the lecture, Becky Murphy occasionally whispered whispers to Kathryn, and from time to time Looking at Eric with an ambiguous look. (To be continued ...) u
