"The first day was 1more than 2 million, the start was not bad, but yesterday Box Office should have risen, but it fell to 9500,000. If there is no accident, it will fall today. Unfortunately, such a good series of themes, although the first week The last accumulated appeal, Box Office may break 40 million, but the next week's decline is destined to exceed 50% or even more, "ParamountCEOFrank Mancuso said in the banquet hall of Hilton Hotel, half sighing and half gloating.
Warner Chairman Robert Daley looked at the Jon Peters of a charming woman not far away and laughed: "Only those two idiots will let go to let Tom Cruise tamper with this project at will. The main line of the 《Running Out of Time》 series should be Tom Hanks picking the beam and matching the witty supporting role of Joe Pesci Each film will look for a distinctive criminal, so that the series can be continued in the safest way, instead of being transformed into a ridiculous action film. Tom Cruise is still the safest way to make a literary film. "
"He wanted to support the portal independently, so Paramount had to cancel the contract with him. Two years ago, the 《Days of Thunder》 had until Paramount barely recovered the cost. Robert, I heard that Eric Williams would be the executive producer of the Warner 《The Bodyguard》. People? "
Robert Daley knows that Frank Mancuso said this, it must have been thinking about it, but the cost of the 《The Bodyguard》 movie is not too high, plus the Eric and the recent victory in Oscar with "Dances with Wolves" The participation of Kevin Costner, there is almost no possibility of loss in this movie, and of course Warner cannot let Paramount participate: "Yes, but the cost of this movie will not exceed 30 million USD, Warner is more than enough to cope."
Frank Mancuso did n’t have much expectations, and of course he would n’t be disappointed. He turned around and glanced around, saying: "Eric Williams hasn't appeared until now, the young people's shelf is really getting bigger and bigger."
Robert Daley did not echo Frank Mancuso, but he did. Although today is a weekend, Eric is still busy for "Jurassic Park".
A really energetic young man.
Thinking of getting some news about "Jurassic Park" from some channels, Robert Daley is a little envious, with the level of special effects shown on "Twister" in the digital field. Robert Daley realized that "Jurassic Park" is likely to bring a visual spectacle again.
Tonight's "Twister" celebration banquet, according to the usual practice, there would not have been so many seven high-level executives on the scene, but everyone also saw the huge potential of the digital field special effects company. Just came over, this scene is like 《Star Wars》 turned out more than ten years ago.
Before this, although Eric continuously produced high Box Office movies, the other big Film Studios of those movie genres could be produced.
However, the special effects technology level shown in "Twister" is no longer produced by the special effects departments of several other companies. Because Eric successively handed over the special effects movies such as "Terminator 2: Judgement Day", "Jurassic Park", and "Twister" to the digital field, with the technical accumulation of these films, the digital field has far exceeded Industrial Light & Magic in computer CG special effects.
Although "Twister" was released, the media is still just a guess about the arrival of the era of computer CG, but the sharp sense of smell Hollywood Film Studio has already realized a new era from the disaster film series and "Jurassic Park" series in the Firefly movie plan coming soon. The status of Industrial Light & Magic is destined to be replaced by the digital field.
There was a commotion at the entrance of the banquet hall. Robert Daley did n’t need to look and knew that Eric was finally here, but he did n’t rush up like those little characters, but instead changed a glass of champagne in a hurry, after a while After waiting for Eric to deal with the people around him, he walked with Frank Mancuso.
"Eric, congratulations, Oh. And this Miss Pacula," Robert Daley and Frank Mancuso greet Eric together.
"Thank you," Eric smiled and raised champagne with Joanna Pacula gently holding his arm.
The four raised their glasses to their lips and took a sip. Robert Daley took the lead and said: "Eric. I heard that you are going to make a documentary about the Los Angeles riots. If you need information from CNN, you can call me . "
Eric nodded and thanked again, and did not reject Robert Daley's good intentions, and Eric also knew. Robert Daley is not polite with himself, but sincerely wants to be kind to himself. Because WarnerCEOSteve Ross is critically ill, the two joint Chairman Robert Daley and Terry Semel for the position of CEO, the existing competition has become fiercer.
And the reason why Steve Ross can sit steadily in the seat of WarnerCEO these years is to rely on the well-known Hollywood filmmakers Steven Speilberg, Clint Eastwood and Tim Bolton.
Robert Daley showed himself to this time, it is estimated that he is going to take the path of Steve Ross.
Now Steve Ross can no longer handle the daily affairs of Warner. At this time, if Eric clearly expresses its support for Robert Daley, and then under the matchmaking of Robert Daley, it will reach some cooperation with Warner in the movie. Robert Daley will definitely be able to beat Terry Semel. Take the CEO's throne. After all, although Warner has a competitive relationship with Firefly, Warner shareholders will not be able to live with the benefits anyway when Firefly's business performance in film is so eye-catching.
However, Eric will not agree to assist the other party because of a trivial kindness of Robert Daley. After all, from a general perspective, the more severe the civil strife of Warner, the more beneficial it is to the other major Film Studio.
Talking with Robert Daley for a while, Eric did not neglect Frank Mancuso: "Mr. Mancuso, I heard that both Redstone and Barry Diller are paying attention to Paramount, are they?"
Although Frank Mancuso is the CEO of Paramount, its power is not even as good as Chairman of Warner, Robert Daley. Of course, it is not because Paramount is not as large as Warner, but because Frank Mancuso has been suppressed by Paramount ’s major shareholder and Chairman of the Board Martin Davis It ca n’t stretch at all.
I heard this question. Frank Mancuso just shrugged, a little awkward and helpless: "These things are all hosted by Mr. Davis, I am only responsible for the daily management of Paramount."
Eric is also just curious for a while, and does not mean to poke Frank Mancuso painful feet. So quickly changed the subject.
After all, the reception is not a place to discuss business matters. On this occasion, if the two parties can really reach some cooperation intentions, they will only agree to discuss other times in detail. Therefore. Eric chatted with Robert Daley and Frank Mancuso for a few words, and then walked Joanna to other people. Except for himself, the other six executives were all here.
"Michael, I'm so glad you came over tonight," Eric walked to Michael Eisner in the eyes of some people guessing.
Michael Eisner smiled and nodded to Joanna before saying, "Would n’t you not welcome me?"
"How is it possible," Eric smiled and shook his head.
The two chatted for a while. When he left, Joanna whispered, "Eric, people at the party don't seem to like him very much?"
Eric said: "It's not that I don't like it, but I'm showing my attitude. Tonight Firefly is the protagonist. I must have some entanglements with Michael Eisner."
Thinking of the appearance of Michael Eisner alone, Eric attached more importance to Michael Eisner. Not everyone has the courage to appear in such a doomed occasion. According to him, in the past few months, Michael Eisner has been talking about cooperation with Industrial Light & Magic. And flew more than ten times in a row Japan, from the Panasonic to get Universal no less than 500 million USD movie investment, as long as the Michael Eisner can show the momentum when he just took charge of Disney in the next two years, it will definitely lead Universal Pictures to rise.
There are so many things in Joanna's mind. After hearing Eric's words, he nodded, and saw Virginia not far away beckoning to himself. Joanna let go of Eric's arm and said: "Vicky is calling me, I went to her."
"Well," Eric looked at the figure of the little woman who could not see in the distance. Asked with a smile: "You two will not be on a diet recently, how do I think you are both thinner?"
"We found the same dietitian, is it a bit thin to look good?" Joanna asked with a smile.
Eric raised his hand and wanted to touch the cheek of Joanna, but after realizing the occasion, he still put it down: "Vicky is thinner and of course it looks better. Do n’t follow her and learn to diet. If you are too thin, you will face Will be slightly recessed, giving people a look of being depressed all the time. "
"Isn't it so serious?" Joanna touched his cheek without any care, and said quickly: "Well, I will listen to you."
Looking at Joanna leaving, Eric looked around and found no figure of her other women. Unconsciously, the women had been divided into small circles, and they were clearly distinguished.
"Good evening, Eric," a voice rang in the ear, Eric turned around and saw Jon Peters who was raising a glass with a smile on his face, but Eric was surprised to be a **** girl leaning on Jon Peters , Eric couldn't help but looked at the other party for a few more times. The **** girl with a slightly dark skin color noticed the change in the eyes of Eric and took the initiative to reach out: "Hello, Mr. Williams, my name is Catherine Zeta-Jones."
"Hello, Miss Kathryn, you are so beautiful," Eric gently shook the other hand.
Jon Peters knows the character of Eric very well. Seeing the women around him interacting with Eric, he subconsciously stretched his arms around the waist of the girl and said: "Eric, Peter let me take him to say sorry to you, he has something to do Going to Europe, I ca n’t come here today. "
Feeling the hand on the waist, the body of Catherine Zeta-Jones was slightly stiff, but the smile on his face remained unchanged. Without a trace, he stepped back and leaned on Jon Peters again.
"Of course it doesn't matter," Eric withdrew its gaze from Catherine Zeta-Jones and coped with Jon Peters.
Although there is nothing unusual on the surface, Eric has some emotions in his heart. This emotion is not because he has encountered another glamorous girl in memory, but because of the personal experience of the actress Catherine Zeta-Jones.
Jon Peters, Steven Speilberg, Michael Douglas, these three names, no matter which one is the powerful figure of Hollywood, although Jon Peters is widely regarded as a straw bag by many people in Hollywood, but the identity of others Columbia Film Studio Chairman, but definitely Hollywood a lot of low-end characters Object; let alone Steven Speilberg, and Michael Douglas comes from the family of acting, although it is only a Actor, but with the accumulation of generations, it also has a strong network in Hollywood.
The top characters of the Hollywood pyramid of these three people were inserted into the same girl from an ordinary family of Will in their lives.
Although Catherine Zeta-Jones has the beauty that many people admire, in Hollywood, beauty is the most indispensable. Therefore, while admiring this woman ’s means, Eric is also very curious about how this woman is related to the three of Hollywood. Powerful people have a relationship.
Jon Peters looked at Eric in a somewhat distracted manner, but felt a strange pride in his heart, arms around Catherine Zeta-Jones involuntarily tightened again, and laughed: "Eric, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, I suddenly thought of something," Eric looked at the smile-like expression on Jon Peters's face and realized that what he had just looked must be seen by the other party, and there were some misunderstandings. However, Eric did not mean to explain, just found an excuse to fork over.
"Oh, about" Mr. & Mrs. Smith ", Eric, have you been to their studio recently, I have been there twice, I do n’t know how, I always feel that the shoots method of Hong Kong Director is a little strange."
Eric nodded: "Hong Kong and Hollywood are still very different, but rest assured, I have been paying attention to this movie, there will be no problem."
"If that's the case, I'm relieved," Jon Peters seemed really relieved and said. (To be continued.)
