I’m in Hollywood Chapter 86: The first chatter
Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
After opening champagne, party officially started. As a movie project with income from peripheral video tapes and so on, it can bring Fox hundreds of millions of USD profits. Even Fox's current Chairman Barry · Diller has to attend the 《Pretty Woman》 celebration in person.
In addition to the members of the 《Pretty Woman》 crew, Fox also invited dozens of large and small stars to come to the show, and the party scene can be described as a bright star. But after all, there were a lot of big people at the scene. The banquet hall with hundreds of people was in order, and the guests gathered together in groups to discuss their own topics.
"For the Eric and Super Bowl trailers, the announcement department is indeed too conservative. I guarantee that when your next movie is released, Fox will fully cooperate with you."
Do n’t next time, this time can also be included in announcement and reimbursed to me.
Eric has a sullen heart, but a smile on his face: "Mr. Diller, don't mention this matter anymore. The Super Bowl advertising fee of 1.5 million USD is indeed a big expense, and it is understandable that Fox is conservative."
Barry · Diller chuckled and didn't mention it again.
This old fox!
The topic was transferred to the next Eric movie again. After 《Pretty Woman》, the next movie of Eric, although it has n’t even seen the shadow, is of course set by Fox in the summer.
This summer's summer season can be described as a huge collection, Warner's "Batman", Paramount's 《Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade》, Columbia's 《Ghostbusters II》, these are destined to be large Box Office.
Because Fox has shifted too much attention to the development of TV Network, this year's film has produced more than a dozen films, ranking first in the bottom six.
In order not to be at the bottom of the Film Industry record, Fox is destined to fully support Eric movies, especially after the great success of 《Pretty Woman》.
It is not easy to get a high Box Office while the summer season is in full swing. Eric couldn't get the well-known sequel of "Home Alone" to compete with these blockbusters in the summer season. It took a long time to think about it before deciding on a thought that had been generated before.
"The next movie already has a preliminary plot outline. I plan to invite Tom · Hanks and Tom · Cruise. This will be a rival play between two men."
Barry · Diller's eyes narrowed slightly, and if successful, Two Toms plus Eric's Box Office appeal, this movie Box Office guaranteed at least 100 million USD. In addition to the "Home Alone2" at the end of the year, there are three big-selling movies in a year. Fox's performance in movies can no longer be blamed. He can also develop TV Network with confidence.
"Eric, if you want to invite Two Toms, the two people's pay is not less than 10 million USD? What is your budget cost?"
Eric thought for a while: "It should not exceed 30 million. This is a drama. There are no big scenes and no special effects. It is entirely played by the two male protagonists, so the budget of 30 million USD is already very loose. , Most likely it will not be spent. "
"I heard that you just spent a lot of money to buy the studio of Jobs?"
Although the problems of Barry · Diller are not marginal, Eric immediately understood the meaning of Barry · Diller. Fox still wants to get involved in movie investment.
"Yes, I asked Pixar to make an opening logo for my Film Studio. After watching it, I was very satisfied. I heard that Pixar was in trouble and wanted to shoot. Just when I was very interested in animated movies, I bought it. But the cycle of the animated movie is very long, and the 3D animation is still in the groping stage, so the first part animated movie does not know when it will be produced. "
Eric ignores the faint helplessness on the face of Barry · Diller, anyway, you turn around and I will play drift for you.
Looking at the little fox in front of me, Barry · Diller had to clarify the topic: "Eric, I mean, if you have tight funding for the film production in the lower part, Fox can be responsible for part of the investment, which can also reduce the risk. And You can rest assured that Fox will not link the investment funds with the cost of announcement, and the share agreement we signed before will remain unchanged. "
Barry · Diller made things plain, and Eric was not good at refusing directly. Of course, he would not give up his own interests. Barry · Diller can think of things, of course, Eric can also think of it. If the invitation to Two Toms succeeds, the film cannot be defeated only by the Box Office appeal of three people.
Finally, Eric can only perfunctoryly say: "No problem, Mr. Diller, if external investment is needed, Fox is definitely my first choice."
Barry · Diller also saw the perfunctory of Eric, and understood that the possibility of Fox wanting to invest is almost zero. But he will not take any faint tricks like the previous Columbia. The two sides are still in the honeymoon period of cooperation. Although stratified according to the previous agreement, Eric earned a little more than Fox, but Fox also grabbed enough envy from others Huge profits.
I talked about some other topics, and the two talents separately dealt with others. Barry · Diller just walked away, Eric felt a lot of eyes focused on himself instantly.
Okay, girls, give it a hug, whoever comes here today to take the first talk, the next movie will give you a role. Eric had a nonsense in his mind, and at the same time he enjoyed this attention-grabbing feeling. After all, he is still a vulgar, if there is no vanity, what to do so toss.
He soon welcomed the first accuser.
Bald, eight feet long, with a tiger ’s back and a waist, with a wretched smile on his face, the most lying thing is ... Ya is a man.
"Eric, you are finally back. I want to know what you think. In Julia's, I think several of them are good, but they were rejected by you?"
Surely decided to indulge once, Eric was helplessly pulled aside by Kapoor.
"Kapoor, you don't have the illusion of being pierced by arrows?"
"Huh?"
"Are you looking around?"
Kapoor glanced suspiciously, and found that some beautiful girls around him who were not so good at covering up their emotions stared at him badly.
Although Kapoor is a workaholic, he is still very proficient in human relationships, otherwise he ca n’t do the manager profession, and shrugs: "Sorry, Eric, I ’m delaying your hunting. But you wo n’t tell me about this Understand, I will not be practical. "
Eric would also like to explain to him that most of previous life Julia ’s relatively successful movies are romantic comedies. I just shot 《Pretty Woman》. It ’s definitely not suitable to make this type of movie in a short time. Take out the movie. He thinks that Julia's is the most suitable 《Steel Magnolias》 for Julia to be nominated by Golden Globe Award. It is a Box Office word-of-mouth movie.
Unfortunately, I have inquired before. Samsung Film Industry has not started this project, either because it has been fanned out by the butterfly effect, or it has not yet started planning.
He ca n’t write script again. In the previous three films, he was 100% sure that the original script had not yet appeared, or appeared in a situation that did not have much to do with his movie, and was used with confidence. Now he can't guarantee this movie.
"Kapoor, wait a few days, I plan to go to Writers Guild of America to see if there are any good script registered, and pick one for Julia."
Kapoor corners of the mouth smoked: "Eric, do you know how many Writers Guild of America registered script, thousands of ah! I feel as if I am going to go to San Francisco to buy a few tons of gold, is that kind of thing possible?"
It ’s certainly easier to find out where the gold is buried. Eric just wanted to check if 《Steel Magnolias》's screenwriter had registered script.
"Trust me, Kapoor, be patient, I will reply you soon."
Eric also made up his mind. If you ca n’t find 《Steel Magnolias》, then choose one for Julia from the movies with higher Box Office in memory. Anyway, under the current fame of Julia, as long as the image is suitable, Julia personally participated No intention will be rejected by her crew. I believe many Production Studio will not hesitate to raise their budgets.
