The conference room door was pushed open again. Jeffrey · Hansson and Kapoor · Sid walked in. Seeing the gloomy face of Eric, they understood that things had collapsed.
Kapoor knows that this matter is definitely inseparable from himself. Otherwise, the almost exhilarating Richard · Gere could not be pushed to the popular Director film like Eric: "Eric, or should I resign? , Go to Europe and go to Europe. Although the Europe movie is not good now, it is still easy to find a job with my ability. "
Eric reached out and rubbed on some stiff cheeks, said: "No, I will not make any compromises, Kapoor, you only need to do your thing, yes, signed with Julia's brokerage contract Well, what do you think of Julia? "
“I ’ve watched the 《Mystic Pizza》 of Julia · Miss Roberts specifically before, and just talked to her for a while, to be honest, Eric, I do n’t like her potential, this lady has only received short-term acting training, acting skills are average , And the shape is not good ... "
Kapoor's words are getting slower and slower. Look at the face of Eric from time to time. I remember that Julia · Roberts was specially recommended by Eric, plus the sex scandal that appeared on newspaper, the relationship between the two is definitely not ordinary. He was a little worried that he was so straightforward, Eric would be unhappy.
However, after finishing Kapoor, Eric nodded in agreement: "Actually, I think so."
"Then you asked her to do Heroine?" Jeffrey asked. He always wanted to change Eric to a more famous Heroine.
"Because I have an intuition, Julia will surely be able to ignite the United States in the future, rush into Oscar, and become famous all over the world ..." Eric just opened his head and saw that both Jeffrey and Kapoor's faces showed 'you cheat Ghost's expression.
Smile, Eric changed his mouth; "Okay, just kidding, in fact, although 《Pretty Woman》 has a beautiful woman name, it is impossible to really find a girl who is too beautiful to play, and the image of Julia's looks to me Just right. If the hostess is too beautiful, the audience can easily turn their attention to the face of Heroine, and ignore the deeper theme of this movie. If the audience will watch the movie in the future, mention 《Pretty Woman》, you can only think of one Beautiful face, that is the failure of our movie. "
Jeffrey and Kapoor have already seen the script of 《Pretty Woman》, listened to the analysis of Eric, combined with the content of script, and finally agreed with Eric.
"Now, the most important thing for us is to find a actor." Eric looked at the two people in front of him: "Although my favorite is Richard · Gere, but since the other party refused, then we have to choose another male Actor , Do you have any good suggestions? "
"How about Michael · Douglas?" Jeffrey first proposed: "In the" Wall Street "last year, Douglas played the image of a stock tycoon, very similar to the setting of Edward in 《Pretty Woman》?"
As soon as I remembered the movie "Wall Street" in Eric's mind, I heard Kapoor whispering next to him and said: "Eric, Brokerage Firm of Michael · Douglas is also a caa."
The three of them were silent for a while, and Eric only said: "Kapoor, you are a professional in this respect. You can do this. Organize a list of male Actor suitable for playing Edward as soon as possible and arrange the audition. Our time is very good. Tight. "
Kapoor nodded and said: "No problem, if there is nothing else, then I will do it." After Eric nodded in response, Kapoor hurriedly left the meeting room.
Looking at the figure of Kapoor leaving, Jeffrey sighed softly: "Eric, do you think this is really worth it?"
"Are you referring to something that is evil with caa because of Kapoor?"
Jeffrey nodded.
"It doesn't matter whether it's worth it or not, Jeffrey, my situation is different from others, you will understand in the future. Maybe other Film Studio is afraid of stalemate with giants like caa, but I don't have these concerns."
"I really do n’t understand where your confidence comes from?" Jeffrey shook his head: "Eric, you mentioned about the sports car sponsorship in the movie, I contacted the senior executive of Ferrari sports car in Los Angeles you said, they were very happy I promised to provide sports car for us to assist shoots for free. After understanding the content of the movie, the other party hesitated as soon as they heard that Heroine was a prostitute. I think we should contact other sports car brands? "
"No problem," although I like Ferrari, but since the other party gave up this publicity opportunity, Eric is not demanding, when recalling Jeffrey, Eric suddenly thought of a problem: "Jeffrey, you just said that the other party had originally promised to be free for us Provide sports car to assist shoots? "
Jeffrey did n’t understand what Eric meant, he recalled it seriously, and nodded.
"Things you didn't mention money for?"
Jeffrey said: "Eric, with your current fame, looking for an sports car brand to sponsor shoots movies for free is a very easy thing, we do n’t need to give each other money at all."
"I mean ..." Eric waved his right hand in a sense of anxiety underground: "The other party gave us money?"
Jeffrey said in surprise: "How is this possible?"
The behavior of placing advertisements should have appeared long ago, but looking at the reaction of Jeffrey now, Eric understands that the concept of increasing movie revenue through the placement of advertisements has not yet gained popularity. And through the previous era, the industry chain in which advertisements were placed in the global film and television series has reached a scale of more than 20billion USD per year.
"Jeffrey, you imagine, according to script, the sports car in the movie will appear one after another in the first 20 minutes, and there is even a plot of Heroine introducing sports car performance, which is equivalent to a 20-minute sports car advertisement. Assuming that I got North America Box Office of 100 million USD in this movie, it is equal to that 10 million people have seen this advertisement, plus the number of people after global screening, the number of people after the release of the video tape, this viewing number will be even larger, even ten Years and twenty years later, every time people watch this movie, they still have to watch this 'sports car advertisement' again. Do you understand how much advertising effect this will have? "
Jeffrey nodded thoughtfully.
"So, you will sort out what I just talked about, and lobby the seniors of sports car brands separately, remember that the sponsorship fee is less than 1 million USD."
"Is there too much Eric, 1 million, and what you just said is just assuming that in case the movie Box Office is not good ..."
Eric said: "This method is easy to solve. We can agree with the other party on an Box Office number. If Box Office does not meet expectations, we will refund part of the sponsorship fee."
Jeffrey is hotly pursued: "What if it exceeds it?"
Eric was a little helpless to this long-winded old man: "Jeffrey, these specific details are what you, the producer, have to consider. I have a lot of things to do. You ca n’t let me worry about these things. ? "
At the same time, a staff member knocked on the doorway of the office: "Mr. Williams, the clothes customized according to your sketches have been delivered, do you want to see them in person?"
"Okay, I'll come right now, you let Julia change first." Eric agreed, and chatted with Jeffrey again, and then said: "Jeffrey, let's go and see my design for Julia. "
Walking out of the soundproofed meeting room, I heard a faint knocking sound, and some workers in the office are renovating.
Coming to a 30 multi-square-meter audition room, Julia has been replaced with the classic vest short skirt and long boots in 《Pretty Woman》. Wearing a red jacket outside, Eric just glanced at it and frowned: "Wig Well, I remember deliberately explaining it before. "
"Will you bring it in the dressing room now?" Julia asked.
Eric waved his hand: "Hurry up and change, and wait for a makeup photo."
Julia walked into the dressing room obediently, and the female assistant named Alison, who had just been assigned to her by Brokerage Firm, followed him with a keen eye to help.
Soon, Julia came out again, not only wearing a golden wig, but also wearing a black cap on his head.
It just appeared. Everyone in the audition room could n’t help but light up. Under the wig, the Julia's face gave a fascinating surprise. If the Julia could only score six points, it can at least Eight points.
Eric sees Julia's, still feels something is wrong, but just instructs the photographer next to take some photos for Julia.
After completing these, Eric said: "You all go out, I will talk to Julia."
Several staff members left one after another, and Jeffrey also got up and said goodbye.
When everyone left the audition room, Julia pinched the corner of the clothing and asked a little: "Eric, is there anything wrong? I think you have been ... frowning all the time?"
Julia · Roberts feels that these days' experiences are dreamlike. First, he was inexplicably coaxed into bed by Eric and got a promise not to find a margin.
In the next week, Eric did not contact her again. When she disappointedly thought that Eric's previous rhetoric was all for playing with herself, the other party suddenly called her. Signed a broker contract in a hurry, Eric threw a stack of script directly in front of her: "Heroine is yours, don't let me down."
