Eric paged through the script from the company and noticed that Gwyneth Paltrow had come together again. In order to avoid her continuing to pester herself, she randomly extracted several pages of Heroine from "Seven". Pass it over: "Nà, look, are you interested?"

Gwyneth Paltrow took it by surprise and said excitedly, "Eric, is this for me?"

Eric shrugged: "If you are interested, this character will give you."

Gwyneth Paltrow did n’t say much. She quickly turned down and looked at a few pages of script in her hand. However, she was quickly disappointed. After Eric handed over a few pages, she did not continue to give her script, indicating that this Heroine was only in hand. In these few scenes, she has also made several films and learned some common sense of script. After a little calculation, the sum of these just knows plays is less than ten minutes, and the role does not have much room to play, just some The daily life between the male protagonists basically belongs to the role that the audience will soon forget after watching it.

Not to mention, this script looks like a low-cost crime thriller.

The Heroine in a low-cost thriller with less than ten minutes of content. If someone else gave her the script, Gwyneth Paltrow might not be so picky. After a little consideration, it will come next. She still has self-knowledge, Paltrow Family In the influence of Hollywood, at most, she can only help her to receive some low-cost Heroine produced by Doli Film Studio, and the seven major Film Studio films. Her parents ’contacts are basically inaccessible. Even her The Godfather Spielberg was just for her In "Hook" came a guest role with a small face that appeared only a few times, and after that time, she has not been able to get any more roles in the Spielberg's movie in recent years.

However, this script is obtained from Eric, which is far lower than the expectations of Gwyneth Paltrow.

With the status of Eric in Hollywood, as long as she helps her to match a little, she can get a Heroine of A-level production. Even those Film Studio that have a competitive relationship with Firefly, Gwyneth Paltrow does not doubt that Eric has this influence. The script in her hand felt like a billionaire super rich, but he took out a one-cent coin.

Eric is reading script in his hand. Contrasting the differences from the memory, I accidentally glanced at the Gwyneth Paltrow holding a few pages of script expressions next to my eyes, probably able to guess her thoughts, and smiled in my heart. She remembered the film in her hand if she wanted to take the role. Eric didn't mind giving Heroine to her, even if it was in return, but if she couldn't look down, Eric would not do anything.

There are many movies about Gwyneth Paltrow in memory, but there are no impressive ones at all. Even the little pepper in "Iron Man", Eric clearly knows that the main reason why Marvel chose her is two. Words, cheap. In a large production commercial film costing over 100 million yuan. After the movie 3 million USD is paid, it is also rare, even if it is not a pure acting actress with too much Box Office appeal, it will not be as low as 3 million after receiving Oscar and then playing a commercial. Perhaps this indirectly proves how much water is behind the shadow Gwyneth Paltrow.

Gwyneth Paltrow does n’t know the thoughts of Eric, seeing him concentrate on reading script in his hand, but it ’s interesting and undisturbed. He repeatedly reads a few sheets of paper in his hands repeatedly, thinking about how to open his mouth to further develop relationship with Eric .

After a while, she is getting impatient. I heard the sound of the doorbell.

Eric also raised his wrist in doubt and looked at his watch. It was just over half an hour from the phone to the new line. He thought that David Fincher even at Los Angeles would at least wait until noon. I didn't expect it to be so fast.

As the doorbell rang several times in a row, Eric looked up and looked at Gwyneth Paltrow.

Gwyneth Paltrow sat there for a moment, wondering, and quickly got up and smiled diligently: "Eric, you sit down. I just open the door."

Looking at the back of the woman walking away, Eric ripped the corner of his mouth, and also got up to clean up the scattered documents on the desktop.

......

Three years ago, I was lucky to be selected by Fox, and took over the third part of the 《Alien》 series guide from the two big guides of Ridley Scott and James Cameron. David Fincher had planned to do a big job, but the result was that A pot of cold water. The cost of 《Alien 3》 is more than twice that of the previous two. After the film was released in North America, Box Office and Word of Mouth have both set the lowest in the series. Moreover, the various conflicts with the producers during shoots also made David Fincher realize that Hollywood is not so fun. After the failure of 《Alien 3》 Box Office, David Fincher had to temporarily leave Hollywood and continue to go back to shoots shoots music MV.

In the past three years, although some film appointments have been received during the period, most of them have not ended in the negotiation stage. The contradictions are basically concentrated on the control of the movie. David Fincher did not think that the failure of 《Alien 3》 was entirely his own. At that time, he not only did not have the final editing rights, but even the power to modify script was in the hands of Fox. The final film was not the way he originally conceived it. Let David Fincher make up his mind. If he can't get enough creative power in the future film contract, he would rather not shoot.

I was discussing a music video production with a singer living in Beverly Hills Manor today, and suddenly received a strange call, saying that Eric Williams wanted to see himself, David Fincher even thought at first time that the other party must be kidding, Hollywood did not People do not know Eric Williams, this is for sure, but he is also sure that Eric Williams is almost impossible to know himself.

After some communication, he finally realized that 80% of this matter was true, so he hurriedly said goodbye to the singer and drove to the place mentioned on the phone.

Until ringing the doorbell, David Fincher ’s doubts did not dissipate. I remembered some rumors of Hollywood recently. I heard that Eric Williams handed over Firefly ’s next year ’s key film project to two fledgling rookies Director, although the media was Comments tend to be cautious, but privately, many people are looking forward to seeing Firefly take the lead in this matter.

So, when Eric Williams suddenly found himself, it must be related to the movie.

The door of the mansion opened, and a girl wearing a black knee-length dress appeared in front of him. David Fincher held up his hand and reached out to the other party, but he was a little stunned for a while, not knowing what to call the other party.

"Hello, I am Gwyneth Paltrow." Gwyneth Paltrow does not know the identity of David Fincher. Looking at the casual wear of white loose-sleeved long-sleeved T-shirts and sweatpants, he will not show contempt and politeness immediately. Shook hands with him.

"I am David Fincher, Mr. Williams let me come over." Despite that, David Fincher still has a little guilty tone in his voice, and can't help but doubt the phone call not long ago, in case it was a prank, it will be big today. .

Fortunately, reality did not disappoint him. Gwyneth Paltrow nodded, let David Fincher in, closed the door and said, "Come with me."

Seeing David Fincher coming, Eric stood up and greeted him. Shaking hands with the other party, beckoning him to sit down at the long table on the terrace, seeing that Gwyneth Paltrow is also going to sit down, Eric pointed to the coffee pot on the table somewhat helplessly: "Gwynnie, can you help us make two cups of coffee? ? "

"Oh, okay," Gwyneth Paltrow froze, picking up the coffee pot slightly reluctantly, and turned his lips away when he turned his back to the two.

Eric's attention turned to David Fincher. At this time, David Fincher did not have the appearance of a middle-aged uncle. 30 was in his early days, and his figure was thin and tall. At this time, it was a bit hippy.

Looking at the doubts and restraints in the expression of David Fincher. Eric directly handed over script of "Seven" and laughed: "I think you must be a little confused about how I found you, but we still don't talk about these boring details. I have seen 《Alien 3》 and there is a script in hand. .I think you can try it. Although everyone is still a bit strange, but I think we will be familiar with it in the future, Oh, you can call me Eric. "

The words of Eric also made David Fincher relax and took over script. They also smiled and looked at them politely.

Gwyneth Paltrow rubbed it for a while before serving the coffee.

Eric took the tray over and said, "Gwynnie, if you are not in a hurry to leave, you can watch TV for a while."

Gwyneth Paltrow was stunned. This time I really could n’t hold it back. I pouted in front of Eric, but still obediently walked into the villa and walked all the way into the living room, kicking my foot on the sofa, angry Dao: "Really, bastard, can I still steal your script?"

......

Eric sat next to him, drinking coffee and quietly processing emails for about half an hour before David Fincher put down script and said, "Eric, I finished reading."

"Oh," Eric sent an email just written, turned off the mailbox interface, and turned to David Fincher: "How do you feel?"

"The theme of script is pessimistic and murky, but the plot structure is very clever. Perhaps, a very special movie can be produced by shoots." Waiting for Eric to answer, David Fincher converged his expression, solemnly said: "Eric, although I hope to Cooperate with Firefly and you, but one thing, I hope to make it clear beforehand. "

"Please, please" Eric made a please gesture.

David Fincher said: "The collaboration between me and Fox three years ago was not pleasant. The whole process of shoots has been spent in disputes. I do n’t think 《Alien 3》 is my work. I do n’t want this kind of work. The situation is coming again, so if you just want to find a Director that fully executes your personal will, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to cooperate. "

Eric nodded and said, "Understandably, Jim, Oh, or James Cameron, he does not admit that" Piranha2 "is his work, the two of you are quite similar. Then, you can talk about your requirements first . "

David Fincher did not expect Eric to talk so well, but he did not dare to make excessive demands. From the bottom of his heart, he still hoped to cooperate with Eric. After pondering for a moment, David Fincher said: "I hope to have the right to make appropriate changes to script. In the process of shoots, I also do n’t want anybody to point to the side. In addition, there is the budget of this film. I see only 8 million USD in the remarks. It ’s not enough. As a feature film, we must have enough budget to invite excellent Actor to support this movie. As for the final editing rights, ”David Fincher feels a bit too much when it comes to this, After scratching his head for a moment, he said, "If, if possible, I hope to participate in the final cut."

"So, let me talk about my requirements," Eric listened with a smile, and said: "Director who has worked with me knows my habits. If you continue to work with me in the future, this criterion will not change. First of all, we will discuss and reach agreement on script. At this stage, you can put forward your own amendments, as long as I think it is reasonable. I will accept it. Since I hope you will direct this film, then my style for your shoots is Approved. So, as long as script is determined during the preparatory stage, I will not interfere too much with shoots of Director, but my request is that once script is initially determined, I do not want Director to make major changes at the shoots stage. We can limit our differences to the initial preparation stage. If we cannot reach a consensus, we will not waste too much time on both sides. In addition, the budget is not a problem. As for the right to edit, I ca n’t make too many concessions in this regard. I reserve the right to finalize the cut, but I usually delegate the maximum power to Director. In this regard, you can talk to those Director who cooperated with me, and you can roughly clear To what extent can Chu my decentralization be achieved. "

Eric will basically hand over the final editing rights to Cameron, Roland Emmerich and other Director films, because both are pure commercial films Director, and there will not be too much personal will to express. But for David Fincher, Eric has reservations. The personal style of the David Fincher film has always been very strong. The "Seven" of previous life is also the result of the final game between him and the new line. If the authority is completely delegated to David Fincher, the result is likely to be previous life David Fincher after "Seven". The failed 《The Game》 is entirely due to nature. (To be continued.)
