Eric's pessimistic judgment on "Fair Game" has made Joel Silver's face dignified. Although Firefly and Warner have a competitive relationship, but it involves a movie project, Eric will not make any judgment at all, but since You will never talk nonsense when you speak. After all, the movie is finally going to be released. Once the movie is released, the result is diametrically opposed to what Eric said. Then Eric's words today will definitely make him a big laughingstock for Hollywood. In the current status of Eric, any movie is not enough. To make him joke about his reputation.

Hollywood is a human circle, but it is also very indifferent and ruthless. The failure of a big movie often heralds the departure of a senior executive of Film Studio or Producer, so it also forms a unique 'expulsion season' for Hollywood. After the New Year's file, with the failure of some movies, some people will be swept out by Film Studio. The cost of "Fair Game" is 50 million USD. Although it is not as good as the 70-80 million super productions in recent years, it is also a big production film. Joel Silver understands that if this film fails, it will not let him be swept away by Warner. , But the cooperation between the two sides will definitely not be as tight as ever. Although Eric's solicitation made him very emotional, Joel Silver has been operating in the Time Warner system for nearly ten years, and he does not want to rush to another house.

After hesitating for a while, Joel Silver couldn't help but tentatively say: "Eric, what do you think is the problem with this movie, is there any possibility of remediation?"

Eric smiled and shook his head: "Joe, my position does not allow myself to do this consultation for you. I can tell you that those words are just enough."

There are too many problems with "Fair Game" in memory. Although the action blockbuster inevitably has the shortcomings of a weak plot, this movie did not even explain the story of a weak plot, even if KGB was replaced by Other evil forces do not help the entire movie.

Eric feels that the only remedy is to directly cut off the project, so that although the initial investment will be floated, it can save more subsequent production and distribution costs and avoid greater losses. but. The probability of this kind of thing happening in Time Warner is very low. The internal system of Time Warner Group is very bloated, and there are many factions. The establishment of every big production movie is full of games of all forces. In the case of a film with bright prospects, the management can certainly work together, but if there is a problem with the project, the person in charge will certainly scramble to clear the responsibility, even if it is the CEO of Time Warner. As long as it does not involve its own interests, it is impossible to risk the Board of Directors criticism to cut off a project that has entered the shoots stage.

Eric is reluctant to say more, and Joel Silver cannot be extravagant.

Joel Silver appeared on the party this time. Originally, I wanted to talk about some cooperation with Arnold Schwarzenegger who regained popularity with "True Lies". But after hearing the words of Eric, he also canceled the original plan. If the project of "Fair Game" is smashed, the cooperation with Arnold Schwarzenegger will be impossible. "Fair Game" is somewhat similar to "Die Hard" in certain settings. Joel Silver originally expected to create a hot-selling action film series after "Lethal Weapon" and "Die Hard", but now, what he thinks about is how to avoid more Much loss. After all, the movie has just started. There must be room for turning.

On the way back to his mansion in Beverly Hills Manor, Joel Silver felt more and more eager about this matter and called several of the creators of "Fair Game", and then told the driver to turn around and head towards the Warner studio of Burbank.

The Cindy Crawford, who left with Joel Silver, sat on the other side of the car, looking at the anxious Fatty next to the expression, and somehow regretted it. Her manager has a good relationship with Victoria’s Secret's operations director Edward Razek. In the morning, I heard some news from a phone call from Edward Razek. Cindy Crawford will appear on "True Lies" party. Eric's guess about Joel Silver is really good. Cindy Crawford is not willing to give up. "Fair Game" the identity of Heroine. But at the same time also want to get the Victoria’s Secret spokesperson's contract. She is still quite confident in her charm. She thought that as long as she saw Eric Williams in person, everything was just in hand, but now the situation is contrary to what she imagined.

The Cadillac luxury car traveled for a while. Joel Silver only noticed the woman next to him again. Originally, this woman sent it to her door. Joel Silver also planned to enjoy this wonderful stunner tonight, but he now has no thoughts about playing with women. Joel Silver is very clear, his power in Hollywood comes from the film, if the producer's job is lost. His power will also disappear, and the women who used to pick him up like a docile cat will never look at him again.

The luxury car went to another intersection. Joel Silver ordered the driver to stop, and then said to Cindy Crawford: "Ms. Crawford, I still have important things to do. I'm afraid I can't take you back to my place. I'm sorry."

"It's okay, Mr. Silver," Cindy Crawford left with a charming smile. After the driver helped her pull the car door, she behaved gracefully and got off the car. She didn't forget to wave to the luxury car that had left.

After Cadillac disappeared, Cindy Crawford withdrew his body and looked at the desolate streets around him. The metal trash bin was banged loudly, and soon came the woman ’s unconscious curse: "deserves death Los Angeles, deserves death Hollywood ......"

Everything, even if it ’s a piece of worthless dirt, if someone says it ’s good, you can definitely find the advantages of a basket. Similarly, even if it ’s a gem, if someone says it ’s bad, you want to find it. A series of shortcomings is also easy.

Joel Silver was originally very good looking at the script of "Fair Game", so it ignored the shortcomings that many people can find according to law, but when Eric, the legendary Director that created the Box Office myth, read this story worthless, script The shortcomings in were immediately exposed.

In a conference room of Burbank Warner Film Industry Headquarters, although it was already early in the morning, but facing the gloomy Joel Silver, Director Andrew Sipes and Charlie Fletcher of "Fair Game" and several other deputy Director and production assistants were chilling.

The problems that Eric can discover, as long as the creator of the film is seriously faced, they can actually find it. After all, these people have been immersed in the film industry for many years.

"shoots is suspended for a week, and Headquarters will say hello. I will see a brand new script after a week," Joel Silver tapped his finger on the table, staring at the results of the discussion on the memo for several hours: "Kerberg ’s gimmick Definitely not working, Soviet Union is all over. Kerberger has no appeal to the audience, and it can be replaced by a mafia or a drug lord in Latin America. Also, what is the situation of the actor Mark and his ex-girlfriend, I remember She only started a play, this role is optional. Why did it suddenly appear in the 24th game? "

In the face of Joel Silver, who suddenly looked up and sharply stared at himself, Charlie Fletcher subconsciously glanced at the left hand vice Director named Thomas Samuel.

Seeing this situation, how can Joel Silver still not understand, rummaging around in the Actor data for a while, find a copy of the Actor data, and then smilingly looked at the deputy Director named Thomas Samuel: " Salma Hayek, hum, the Hungarian department is really big, you must be very comfortable with this Mexican girl, right? "

Thomas Samuel realized that this was the prelude to Joel Silver's upcoming rage, and stood up with fear: "Mr. Silver. Please ask me to explain, I just think this character in the original is very interesting, so I suggest ..."

"Your future life will definitely be more interesting," Joel Silver interrupted Thomas's sophistry, grouped the information in his hand, and threw it hard at the other party: "Now, take your Mexican bitch and leave me Go out, don't let me see you again in Hollywood. "

After the unlucky deputy Director left the meeting room in disarray, Joel Silver swept the others coldly. Tao: "How do you privately use your identity to trick those ignorant little Actor? I can't control it, but if you really dare to use your work to make a deal, I will definitely make him look good. You **** me remember . This is a business of tens of millions of USD, tens of millions of USD! "

After the roar, Joel Silver quickly calmed down, looked at the memo in his hand, and quickly looked up to Charlie Fletcher: "Heroine is too heavy. If she is Nicole Kidman, I do n’t mind doing it, but In addition to showing off the style, this character is completely reduced to a vase that only screams. Since there is no characteristic, then focus on shaping the actor. In addition ... "Thinking of a few hours ago, Joel Silver said again:" Tomorrow to inform Cindy Crawford , She was fired. This woman does not have any Box Office appeal, even if we need a vase, we also need a vase with Box Office appeal. "

Director Andrew Sipes whisper sitting under the head of Joel Silver: "But, Mr. Silver, Cindy Crawford was introduced by Mr. Melniker ..."

Joel Silver only hesitated for less than a second, but remembering Eric ’s solicitation on party, he immediately said with confidence: "If I do n’t want, no one can cram people in my movie. If Melniker insists, I do n’t mind stabbing this matter to Warner Board of Directors to discuss. "

The Benjaming Melniker mentioned by Andrew Sipes is the executive Chairman and CFO of Warner. Most of the people in the meeting room know that Joel Silver used to be very kind to Benjaming Melniker in the past, so I wonder why he suddenly became tougher tonight.

But this is not something that these small shrimps can care about. It is difficult for them to struggle with these high-level officials, and they nodded their heads.

Joel Silver is very satisfied with everyone's response, saying: "So, do you have any candidates to recommend?"

Andrew Sipes said: "How about Claudia Schiffer, if you talk about vases, Hollywood definitely has no more appealing vases than hers, but her current pay is around 5 million USD, which is ten times that of Cindy Crawford's participation in this time? "

Of course, Joel Silver cannot know the relationship between Claudia and Eric. He subconsciously feels that if an invitation is issued, Eric will definitely make Claudia Schiffer reject the invitation.

However, Joel Silver soon thought of passing the revised script in case Claudia Schiffer accepted it? Then it is very likely that Eric recognized this script. This benefit is definitely not available for 5 million USD. He believes that Warner will definitely increase the budget of 5 million USD for this reason. And even if they were rejected, there was no loss on their side.

"You immediately contact manager of Claudia Schiffer after dawn." Joel Silver said to Andrew Sipes: "However, do n’t pass the current script, try the other party ’s schedule first, and wait until script is modified before showing it to the other party."

Andrew Sipes nodded. This matter was recorded in the memo.

"So, let's continue the discussion," Joel Silver took a sip of coffee and refreshed, saying: "The scene of male & female leads being hunted down is obviously too heavy. This will make the audience feel depressed, so the plot of the hunt down It must be deleted to increase the plot of male & female leads teaming up to fight back, this is what the audience wants to see ... "

......

Of course, Eric did n’t know that what he enjoyed was affecting so many people and things in just one night. After attending party last night, thinking of the Victoria’s Secret spokesperson, I tried to make a phone call in the past. It happened that Claudia had just returned to Los Angeles recently. Eric rushed to the girl ’s residence in Beverly Hills Manor.

In a mansion on the mountainside of Beverly, Eric has a casual vest and beach pants. Sitting on the terrace on the second floor, enjoying the warm morning sun, looking at today's newspaper, and at his feet is the city of angels dyed golden by the morning sun. From afar, you can even see the streets of the city as a vein Flow of blood like a car.

The arrogant and lazy Claudia wore a simple T-shirt and jeans, walked out of the living room on the second floor with a tray, put the breakfast on the round table, leaned over and kissed Eric, said: "I Made a beef sandwich, try it? "

Eric pecked on the lips of Claudia surname, reached out and pulled her into her arms, embracing the soft slim waist under the T-shirt. Pointing at the breakfast on the table, he smiled badly: "I fed you last night, now you should feed me."

Claudia smiled and twisted her lower back, but didn't mean to break free. Sitting obediently on Eric's lap, reaching for the sandwich on the plate and sending it to Eric's mouth.

Eric ate a few bites of sandwiches, and suddenly remembered what was left behind at random last night, and asked, "There is just one thing I want to ask you about, you know I am preparing a Catwalk for Victoria's Secret Well, this brand needs five spokespersons. Four have been identified, and the endorsement fee will definitely be very rich, but this time is different from the ordinary Catwalk. It takes a while to rehearse. Are you interested in coming together? "

Claudia's eyes lit up. She always wanted to be able to participate in Eric's Director movie. Although this is not a movie, Claudia also knows that this is a great opportunity to get along with Eric. However, Claudia quickly shook his head in disappointment: "If it was you and me last year, there must be no problem. It may not work now."

Eric does n’t mind, he just asked curiously: "Do n’t you just finish making a movie, do you have an appointment so soon?"

Claudia shook his head and said with regret: "No, but I signed a contract with France ’s Neiyi brand Farmanl in the 1930s last year, and I definitely cannot participate in the Neiyi show of other brands, Eric, I ’m really sorry."

Eric smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, I just asked at random."

Claudia yelled, leaned forward charmingly and asked, "When are you going to make the next movie, let me do Heroine?"

Eric sniffed the good smell of the girl and said, "I dare not make any promises to you. Before the end of the Victoria’s Secret show, I will not have a plan for the next movie, but I promise you, As long as there is a suitable role for you, I will never consider others. "

"Really?" Claudia raised her lips and said: "Don't they even consider Julia Roberts and Nicole Kidman?"

Eric nodded defiantly: "Yes, no consideration."

Claudia smiled and kissed on the face of Eric and said, "Although I know you are coaxing me, I am still very happy."

"I definitely did not coax you, you are completely different types of Actor, so there is no competition."

"Oh ..." Claudia immediately showed a little loss on his face, and his acting skills improved a lot. His tone was bitter: "You must think I am just a vase."

"Yes, Hollywood's most beautiful vase, there is no one."

"That's still a vase," Claudia seems to be a little unwilling, and also stretched out the neckline of Eric, seeming to want Eric to withdraw this evaluation.

Eric smiled and squeezed Claudia ’s face, took a few bites of the sandwich in her hand, and suddenly picked up the girl in her arms and walked indoors, saying: "It ’s still early, let me enjoy it ' Miss vase '. "

"Oh, Aiya ... not allowed." (To be continued.)
