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

The publication of "Jurassic Park" was finalized, and Eric spent all of his spare time writing and modifying script of "17 Again". "17 Again" mainly expresses the discussion of family, love, friendship and life choices, so it is not inappropriate to embezzle it into this era, but the various geek elements and thumb cultures that are full of previous life movies need to be modified. At present, the big brother is not popular yet, and the personal computer is also in the era of transistors.

Eric changed Ned ’s settings into a successful entrepreneur, and at the same time as an ashes fan, he likes to collect various movie props. Of course, only in the movies that have appeared in this era, the lines about the movie "Lord of the Rings" can only be modified into other movies, which is a handy thing for Eric with a large number of movies in his mind.

After completing script, Eric took script to Jeff according to the agreement. Since watching Eric's "Jurassic Park", Jeff no longer underestimates the orphans left by this friend. I read script a few times carefully, and found some wrong details, such as the Kevin Federline hippie t-shirt worn by the protagonist when he returned to school, and Jeff curiously asked who Kevin Federline was. Eric carefully searched the memory, only to find that the second ex-husband of Britney Spears is still a 10-year-old Xiaozheng.

After modifying some vulnerabilities discovered by Jeff, Eric will soon hand over script to Michael · Claus.

After completing a novel and a script, Eric did not rush to create a third piece of work, but began to practice basketball, especially in the movie to use fancy basketball, Eric has no foundation, so you must start practicing again .

There are a lot of shots of basketball in the movie. Although the performance of Zac Efron in the previous life movie is not outstanding, several scenes about basketball are still remarkable, especially in the student cafeteria. The episode of basketball tune-in bad guy Stan is impressive.

One week later, the Eric, who practiced on the community basketball court for two hours, walked into the house playing fancy basketball, and heard the rapid phone ringing from a distance. In the past few days, Eric has received calls from Michael one after another, roughly introducing the publication of "Jurassic Park" and the matters of "17 Again" script. The publication of "Jurassic Park" was very smooth. Soon Eric will see the sample book, but "17 Again" Not so lucky.

Although after watching script, Film Studio who received script was very interested in script, but after hearing script screenwriter insisted on playing the leading role, most of Film Studio gave up script directly, which is actually quite normal. Things, no one will easily take tens of millions of USD investment to take risks. Eric even suggested that Michael should not focus on Six Great Film Studios, but also try those second-line Film Studio.

"Hey, here is the Williams home." Eric picked up the phone and adjusted some short breaths after the exercise.

"Hello, Eric, this is Michael."

Eric smiled unhurriedly: "Michael, it's almost ten o'clock at night. Is there any good news when you call this time?"

The Michael over the phone could n’t help complaining: “Do n’t mention this, it ’s a hell, I ’ve made many calls since 8 o’clock and you have n’t answered it.”

"Oh, sorry, Michael. I went to the community sports court to play basketball."

"Playing basketball, Wow, Eric, it seems that you have the ambitions, I remember that there are indeed a lot of basketball games in script."

"Of course, I still say that, conscientiousness is in people, success is in the sky. I am not only contacting basketball, but also practicing in the mirror for an hour of performance every morning."

"Eric, I admire you a little bit. Few people would be willing to do so much preparation when things are completely unfocused. How about taking a day off tomorrow, let's go to an appointment."

Eric shook his hand slightly. The basketball that had been spinning on the index finger of his right hand slammed to the ground, bouncing and making a few muffled sounds: "Is this ... good news?"

"Of course, lucky guy, I received a call from Mr. James · Brooks of 20th Century Fox today, they are very optimistic about this script, and there is no condition to directly refuse you, but you must pass the audition."

"This is really ... thank you so much, Michael."

"You are welcome," the opposite Michael smiled and said: "Of course, you also have to understand that the other party agreed to audition is equivalent to approving your conditions in disguise, but if you perform too badly during the audition, you can only say regret. "

"Absolutely not, I am fully prepared."

Eric was full of excitement all night. Early the next morning, Eric drove to the agreed location with Michael · Claus.

"This is the shoots base of 20th Century Fox?" Eric looked at the huge studio like a warehouse on the wall, looking with longing in his eyes.

Michael closed the door and came over, standing next to Eric side by side, looking up at the studio road: "Yeah, it ’s spectacular? But the studio base of Warner is more spectacular than this, um, you must see After that, I have the opportunity to visit the field. "

The unfamiliar title in the movie Warner appeared in Eric's mind, and nodded: "I will."

The two followed a staff member to the door of an office. The guider knocked on the door and said a few words, then invited them in.

Seeing two people coming in, a middle-aged man and a woman in the office talking about something, two middle-aged men stood up and greeted them.

Michael · Claus stepped forward to shake hands with two people, and then introduced: "James, Penny, this is Eric Williams. Eric, this is Mr. Producer James · Brooks, this is Penny · Marshall Director"

After the introduction, Michael · Claus smiled and said to Penny · Marshall: "You may not know, Ms. Penny. A week ago, Eric also said that you may become the first female Director in the history of United States with over 100 million Box Office."

Eric first shook hands with James · Brooks, James just gently shook Eric, and withdrew his left hand in less than a second.

Eric was keenly aware that this well-known Producer did n’t seem to like himself very much, and when he turned his mind slightly, he understood what was going on. For the Producer, which is dominated by the power in the film production process, he, a self-recommended actor, must not be pleased.

Did not show any wrong look, Eric turned to Penny Marshall, this is a blond white woman in her forties, she is very fat, so while doing Director, she is also a Actor, but she plays the same role Little dragon sets that are not easy to find on the Actor list

"Hello, Ms. Penny, I really like your" Big "."

"Thank you for your appreciation, Eric." The appearance of Penny Marshall has not changed much. With the continuous release of "Big", everyone knows that the movie Box Office has broken 100 million. Not only did the weekly Box Office of the movie not decrease, but it has increased. This is the fourth week of the movie's release. By this time, many movies are likely to be forced to go down due to low attendance.

After introducing each other, Eric only found that James · Brooks and Penny · Marshall are looking at themselves with a scrutiny. Obviously, if the cooperation is successful, James · Brooks and Penny · Marshall will be Producer and Director of "17 Again" respectively . Eric was not nervous at all, but with a confident smile on his face, and sat down on the sofa with Michael · Claus.

The pretty female assistant brought a few cups of coffee and left the office.

James · Brooks did not drink coffee, but placed a cross on the table and said: "Mr. Eric ... Your movie script is really excellent, but I have to say that the conditions you put forward are a bit harsh. We learned from Michael that you are just a high school student and do n’t have any performance experience. So at the beginning we intended to refuse, but Barry · Mr. Diller accidentally saw your script, and he liked the ideas expressed by this script very much, specially Approve your request, of course, you must pass the most basic audition. If qualified, you will also receive short-term performance training. "

Eric nodded in agreement. I was a little surprised in my heart. I didn't expect my script to be approved by Barry · Diller. He certainly knows who Barry · Diller, previous life Disney Chairman Michael · Eisner and DreamWorks helm Katzenberg, were once only one of the assistants of Barry · Diller during his tenure in Paramount.

Barry Diller Hollywood 30 for more than a year. From the rise of Paramount to the prosperity of 20th Century Fox, from the dominance of the film industry to the **** of global to TV Network, entire US, and the subsequent rise of network media, all left behind his indelible marks.

For a few seconds, until Michael · Claus poked himself lightly, Eric realized that he was now in the office of James · Brooks, and James · Brooks's eyes were slightly dissatisfied.

From the beginning, he was very resistant to Eric. In the Hollywood film production process, Producer is usually the sole power. From the role selection to the post-editing, the producer has the final say. Eric asked himself to play the leading role, undoubtedly deprived him of his due power.

"Sorry, everyone, I'm distracted." Eric quickly apologized.

"It doesn't matter, young people," James slightly increased the tone when he said the word young, and then said: "So, before discussing other things, let's audition first."
