I’m in Hollywood Chapter 585: Papa

Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!

The so-called butterfly effect is actually an example of chaos theory, and another classic example is the story of a horseshoe nail ruining a country. The more common explanation of chaos theory is that everything is composed of countless ‘fragments’, and any change in these ‘fragments’ may have a great impact on the whole. From the beginning of an idea to the final completion of a film, it needs to go through countless and volatile “fragments”. Maybe it ’s just a screenwriter occasionally coming up with a completely new idea, or maybe the editor accidentally cut a certain shot wrong Therefore, in the case where history has deviated, it is almost impossible for this space-time to make a movie exactly the same as the original space-time.

Although the core of the creation of "Braveheart" is Mel Gibson, the excellent lens and soundtrack of this movie have a lot to do with photographers and soundtrackers. If the new photography and soundtrack deviate too much from the original style, then the entire movie may look completely different from original.

Eric did not talk too much about the details of script with Weinstein Brothers and Mel Gibson, but focused on these details that affect the style of the entire movie.

Hollywood has many celebrities with arrogant personalities, but no one is so stupid as to have **** in front of a Hollywood Big Boss, even if this Hollywood Big Boss is ten years younger than him, plus the hot field of Ed Limato, Weinstein Brothers, this meal also eats Count as pleasant. Although Mel Gibson is already a super star of Hollywood, it is still impossible to compete with the people at the top of the pyramid. Eric heard that a few years ago, when Mel Gibson cooperated with Universal "Bird on a Wire", it concealed overseas Box Office income during the film release process. In the process of his first part film "The Man Without a Face" in Director, the whole crew was rushed out of the Universal studio directly, so it also caused a burst of speculation in gossip tabloid newspaper. Mel Gibson must have clearly recognized his own in that incident. position.

Get out of the restaurant. Eric and Elizabeth bid farewell to Weinstein and others, and went on the red BMW of Elizabeth together.

Elizabeth drove the car and casually said to Eric sitting on the co-pilot: "You don't seem to like Mel Gibson very much?"

Eric I said so-called: "It doesn't matter whether I like it or not. His movie is still good, but the character is a bit poor. And, you know, although the stars rarely contact Film Studio, most of them are done by manager. But celebrities still rarely interact with Film Studio executives too closely because everyone ’s positions are different, especially when talking about pay. "

Elizabeth smiled and said, "So everyone is envious of Firefly."

Eric asked doubtfully: "What?"

Elizabeth explained: "The protagonist in the cartoon produced by Firefly is the most worry-free 'star' of Hollywood. They will not talk to Boss about pay, they will not play with temperament, they will not strike, they will not complain, they will do nothing. You have the right to use your own image to make more money. "

Eric smiled slightly and realized something again, and asked, "Fox also wants to make cartoons?"

"Yeah, but we are not as willing to burn money as you are. Although Papa is firmly in control of News Corp, it still has to explain to shareholders after all. If you spend too much money on pre-development, you will not get results, It must be troublesome again, and I am very envious of you at this point Papa. Firefly is non-listed, does not need to accept various information disclosure every year, and does not have to laboriously explain to shareholders the strategic intention of a business act Last year, News Corp accounted for more accounting expenses than 12 million USD due to various audits. This money is enough to make a good movie. "

Eric ignored the girl ’s complaint and asked, "What do you plan to do?"

"Fox intends to test the 2D animation first, this is relatively simple, not much investment. And the staff of Hand-Drawn Animation is also easier to find."

Eric almost blurted out that I can provide you with ‘talent’ here. However, if it is another company. Eric may have done so without hesitation, but he still can't do the thing of pitting his woman.

"Do n’t do any 2D animation. I tell you, I ’m going to turn off Disney's Hand-Drawn Animation Department, you either do n’t do it, just go directly to 3D animation."

Elizabeth widened his eyes and asked in surprise: "What, do you want to turn off the Disney animation studio?"

Eric shook his head and said: "Of course not, I just intend to stop the production of 2D Hand-Drawn Animation, Disney animation studio will be fully digitalized."

Elizabeth thought about it, and probably understood the intention of Eric to do so, blinking with some envy: "You guys want to make the transformation to 3D animation relatively simple, as long as you transfer the accumulated technology of Pixar to Disney animation work The room is just fine, but we have to start from scratch. "

Eric looked at the girl ’s pitifully small look and smiled: "It ’s useless to blink, and my own people are not enough. Firefly intends to expand the Animation Department to one or two parts per year. But now Pixar animation can only produce one movie in two years. "

"Of course I don't want people on your side," Elizabeth blinked again: "It's enough to license the 3D animation production software dedicated to Pixar studio to Fox, the price is up to you."

Eric still shakes his head: "Unless your animation studio sells me a 51% stake, you ask if Papa is willing or not."

"Reluctant," Elizabeth immediately answered for Murdoch, and then glared at Eric with the small eyes that put away the discharge, and drove the car intently.

She was originally just knows. There was little or no hope in this matter. The reason why Firefly can monopolize the huge profits of 3D animation in recent years is because of the absolute leading technical advantage in the hands of Pixar. Although the Firefly software was established, it began to publicly release the Maya software for special effects production in the digital field, but the digital field even publicly stated that the publicly released maya is a castrated version, and the core batch of technologies is still tightly held in the digital field. .

Therefore, if Eric really agrees, Elizabeth will feel that there is a problem.

The two of them drove slowly along the Beverly Hills mountain road late at night, and Eric accidentally glanced at the side of the road. Just asked: "Should Trousdale Estate be eastward?"

Elizabeth was just about to speak. Eric remembered the car sitting at this time and quickly said: "I know I know. I changed my place."

Elizabeth snorted softly before saying, "We live on Cresta Drive at the top of the mountain now."

Eric does not know where Cresta Drive is. He prefers the Trousdale manor where Hollywood Star is gathered. There is an area with the best view overlooking Hollywood. Sitting by the swimming pool on the terrace of the villa will give a sense of high suspension: "I still think the Trousdale villa is good."

Elizabeth said bitterly: “Anyway, I do n’t want to be a neighbor with the crazy girl of Drew anymore.”

"I think you are reconciled. How big is it? Haven't you figured it out yet?"

"Humph," Elizabeth snorted and turned his head to ignore Eric.

Although one mansion in Beverly Hills is more luxurious than others, the infrastructure such as mountain roads is really poor. Old telegraph poles, street lights that appeared only a long distance away, and bare hillsides. The car traveled along the mountain road. Eric even worried that if the soil and water are not well maintained, something will roll down the slope.

Finally reached the top of the mountain, the red BMW entered a manor, and Eric stood in front of the court and looked around, very surprised. This place not only can overlook the entire Los Angeles, but also can see the valley area in the north, the view is definitely more open than the Trousdale manor.

Elizabeth looked slightly smirked at the reaction of Eric. Said: "This mansion is a hilltop Oh, is it not worse than the Trousdale manor?"

"Of course," Eric Nodded in satisfaction. Looking at the other side of the hillside Burbank The mountain road seems to be able to lead all the way Burbank of Firefly Headquarters , This path is definitely better than Eric In the past few days, I have walked a lot closer and said, "I just happened to be too busy late to return Malibu , Live here. "

Elizabeth blushed and said: "Don't you plan to ask my host's opinion first?"

Eric smiled and said: "I have already agreed, what else to ask."

Elizabeth tilted her toes and kicked gently on Eric's leg, before he was reconciled: "Let's go in, do you want to drink coffee?"

The time is just ten o'clock. Eric did not have much pajamas, nodded and said: "Okay."

The two pushed the door of the villa together and entered the living room. There was only a dim wall lamp in the living room, and Elizabeth had not waited to turn on the fluorescent lamp in the living room. The two noticed the obvious white light coming from the kitchen.

"Maybe Julia forgot to close the refrigerator door," Elizabeth said indifferently.

Eric narrowed his eyes alertly, stretched his finger, Elizabeth looked over and saw a white shadow staying near the refrigerator.

"Our family doesn't have pets, what is it?" Elizabeth didn't worry, turned on the fluorescent light, the two walked towards the kitchen together, and then saw a small person sitting on the floor, holding in his hands A chocolate cake was eaten with flavor, and there were bottles and jars falling out of the refrigerator scattered around the villain.

Elizabeth hurried over, more than a chocolate cake in the hands of the little guy, and asked, "Emma, why are you here?"

Emma was snatched away by Elizabeth and whined dissatisfiedly. Eric also saw that the little guy was covered with cream all over his face, like a dirty kitten, a little angry and funny. Say: "Does your family have a nanny?"

When Emma heard the figure of Eric, he turned around and looked at it. He stared at Eric for two seconds, and immediately extended two small hands to Eric with joy: "Dad ... Papa."

Elizabeth glared helplessly at Eric, but no longer tried to correct the name of Emma, but the little guy handed it over and said, "You hold it first, let me see if Carly is here or not, how could this happen,"

Eric thought that Carly in the mouth of Elizabeth should be the babysitter of Emma, and he took the dirty little guy from Elizabeth without mind, and the two walked out of the kitchen together.

Watching Elizabeth turn around and walk into a corridor, Eric hugs the little guy on the living room sofa and asks softly, "Emma, why are you alone in the kitchen?"

The three-year-old Emma has no problems with verbal communication. After hearing Eric, the little guy hugged pitifully: "Emma, hungry, aunt, do n’t give, eat."

The Eric forehead immediately showed a black line, not so serious.

Elizabeth soon led a white woman in blue pajamas with slightly chubby appearance in the living room. She pointed angrily at Emma and a mess in the kitchen: "How did you take care of the child, fortunately she just ate It ’s a cake. What if I swallow everything else and get stuck? "

The babysitter named Carly showed a wronged look: "Miss Murdoch, this thing ... this thing doesn't blame me. At night Miss Roberts came back and said that he would take care of Emma personally, or would he coax Emma to sleep tonight." /

Eric took out a tissue from the paper box on the tabletop to help the little guy clean the cream on his face and asked, "Emma have dinner?"

Of course the nanny knew who Eric was and shook his head a little bit cautiously: "This, Mr. Williams, I ... I do n’t know. After Miss Roberts said to take care of Emma personally, I went back to the room and rested."

Eric smiled and shook his head. It seemed that the problem was with Julia. He waved his hand and said, "You go to rest first."

The nanny pointed to a messy place and asked, "Shall I clean the kitchen?"

"No need to say it tomorrow," Eric shook his head.

After the babysitter left, Eric handed Emma wrapped around him to Elizabeth: "You take a bath for the little guy first, let me go and see what happened to Julia, what room is she in?"

Elizabeth also understood the crux of the matter at this time, and was careless about Julia's, pointing to the stairway: "The first one upstairs is."

Eric grabbed a few sheets of paper and wiped the cream on his chest with Emma, and walked towards the stairs. Elizabeth glanced at the back of Eric and shrugged gently before taking the little one to the bathroom.

Eric walked upstairs, pushed open the door of a bedroom, and turned on the light, and saw that Julia was lying on the big bed insignificantly, only covered with a thin blanket, and still in the air There was a faint smell of wine, which made him even more angry. (To be continued.)
