Talking about an afternoon movie, and having dinner together again, Eric gradually discovered that although it has an exquisite appearance that makes men's hearts move, Jodie · Foster is basically a female man, still very bold.

Furthermore, when chatting at dinner, Jodie · Foster knows much more about Eric than Eric knows about her. A lot of information is definitely not the kind that can be found in the media. After the Eric trial, I learned that when shoots finished 《The Silence of the Lambs》, Jodie · Foster and Julia have always maintained very good friend relationships. A group of women gathered together, and the topic in private was self-evident.

After a dinner, the woman said carelessly that as long as Eric did n’t "conspiracy" against her, she would treat Eric as a friend.

The contract between Firefly and Jodie · Foster was signed smoothly. Subsequently, Jodie · Foster took a lot of information about "Gravity" from Eric and began to prepare for movies and derivative novels.

The actor of "Gravity", Eric still chose George · Clooney.

Before shoots "Batman and Robin" last year, George · Clooney has announced that it will be separated from shoots of ABC's popular drama "ER", intending to concentrate on the development of the movie circle.

Then, almost no more.

However, the popularity of this always handsome old man in the circle really makes many people unmatched. Eric has not yet sent an invitation to George · Clooney, he has already started to help him match up, even Jodie · Foster who just announced Eric as a friend has called, think George · Clooney is very suitable for the role of Matt · Kowski, Eric So he pushed the boat down the river and harvested a handful of favors.

Los Angeles International Airport, the time has come to mid-January unconsciously.

Eric with Katzenberg and several other Firefly Group executives are seeing off for the "The Lord of the Rings" crew.

From the idea of ​​producing shoots "The Lord of the Rings" when I was a child, I look forward to the year of 30. The film I dreamed of is finally going to be filmed, and now Peter · Jackson looks radiant.

Shake hands with Eric, Katzenberg and others, and vowed to guarantee it, before taking a team of nearly a hundred people to the charter flight to New Zealand. If you do n’t make a good movie, you do n’t plan to return to Hollywood. appearance.

Of course, the huge budget of the entire trilogy project 300 million USD, if the film is smashed, this fellow will really not want to go back to Hollywood again.

Until now, in addition to Eric's full support for the "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy continuous shooting plan, most of the management of Firefly still have a worried attitude in their hearts, and the media of all parties have never given up on this Questions about 'big and improper' projects.

It was n’t until the sky-blue Boeing 747 rushed into the sky that Eric patted the shoulder of Katzenberg next to him, saying: "Jeffrey, and everyone, let's go back. I think you should give more thought After 30 guys have a little confidence, not to mention, Firefly is not unable to lose 300 million USD now. "

With Eric walking towards the apron, Katzenberg smiled bitterly: "Eric, you know, this is more than 300 million USD."

The release date of the first song "The Lord of the Rings" is set at the end of next year. Now that this project is finalized, for the next two years, in addition to the production budget of the film, Firefly must also invest a lot of marketing resources to promote it. These marketing resources and potential time costs are indeed far more than 300 million USD.

Eric understands these truths naturally, and he is too lazy to think of any reason to comfort a few elders and change the topic: "Is the actor in" Ring "eye-catching?"

Katzenberg shook his head and said: "Kenneth Horn and the Gore Vybinsky who are in charge of the new line want to try Johnny · Depp. However, Johnny · Depp has been pulled to Tim Burton In the outstanding project, Depp has always been a good friend with Burton. The kid is not interested in this horror film. He said that if he wants him to participate in the show, unless Firefly can invest in Burton ’s new movie. "

Eric narrowed its eyes, and if he did n’t hear Tim Burton ’s name, he would only sniff at the requirements of Johnny · Depp. Now the three major Brokerage Firms of Hollywood have no confidence in the Firefly Group premise, let alone a Actor.

"What is Tim Burton ’s new movie?"

Katzenberg thought for a while and said: "It is a very old horror novel changed movie called" Sleepy Hollow "."

Sure enough.

Thinking about it in Eric, I continued: "I have also heard of this novel, the subject matter is in line with Burton's grotesque and grotesque style, how could no one be willing to invest?"

A group of people have already arrived at the parking lot outside Los Angeles International Airport. Katzenberg and Eric got on a car and waited for the car to drive towards Firefly Studios before saying: "The last movie of Burton, you Do you have an impression? "

Eric doesn't remember these things. Looking back, he only remembers Burton's 1992 shoots's second part "Batman Returns". In the next few years, I have never heard of Burton's good film.

Katzenberg looked at Eric and shook his head, saying: "It's like this. Since 1992's" Batman Returns ", Burton's movies have not been successful in recent years, especially the last" Cooperated with Jack · Nickel Sen " "Martians play with Earth", this movie invests in 70 million USD, North America Box Office only has 37million. After the failure of film, Warner completely parted with him. I have not read the project information of "Sleepy Hollow", but I listen to it in private chat After a while, the cost of this movie may be close to 100 million, everyone naturally can't avoid it. "

Tim Burton is definitely a geek of Hollywood. Because it is a geek, the prospect of directing the film Box Office is very unstable.

However, "Sleepy Hollow" is definitely the most classic one in Tim Burton's works. It should be good to come to Box Office.

Knocked on the knee and considered for a while, Eric said to Katzenberg: "Jeffrey, let me find the script and budget information of" Sleepy Hollow "."

Katzenberg worried: "Eric, in addition to the Batman series, Burton's previous work Box Office has the highest" Beetle Juice "is only more than 70 million USD, you are not really interested in" Sleepy Hollow "?" >

Eric smiled and asked: “Is n’t Beetle Juice a movie produced by Disney? Do you still remember the production budget of this movie?”

Katzenberg nodded and said: "Probably 15 million USD."

"" Beetle Juice "is a grotesque horror story, which is exactly what Burton is good at, so he can shoot well and be recognized by the market. You can listen to" Martians Turning Earth " "The name, I have not seen this film, but just listening to the name, we can not guess this is a comedy film, let a horror film genius to shoot comedy, how likely do you think it is successful. And now," Sleepy Hollow ", which is exactly what Burton is good at."

"But, Eric, the budget cost of this movie is 100 million USD, and it is also a horror movie."

"In this way, Jeffrey, when you come back to the cinema, you first find the information of" Sleepy Hollow ", and then you call Johnny · Depp directly, saying that I can help Tim Burton and let him directly The crew of "Ring" signed a contract. When I watched script, if we feel good, we will shoot ourselves. If not, we will release news that Eric Williams is very optimistic about this project and let others rush to shoot. "

Katzenberg helpless: "I always feel that you have made up your mind to shoot."

"Do n’t you believe my vision?"

"Of course I believe, the key is that you have n’t seen script."

"Do n’t you believe my intuition?"

Katzenberg raised his right hand in compromise: "Well, you are Boss."

......

......

It was not until the sky-blue Boeing 747 rushed into the sky that Eric patted the shoulder of Katzenberg beside him, saying, "Jeffrey, and everyone, let's go back. I think you should give more thought After the 30 guys have a little confidence, not to mention, Firefly is not able to lose 300 million USD now. "

With Eric walking outside the apron, Katzenberg smiled bitterly: "Eric, you know that this is more than 300 million USD."

However, Johnny · Depp has been pulled to Tim Burton In the outstanding project, Depp has always been a good friend with Burton. The kid is not interested in this horror film. He said that if he wants him to participate, unless Firefly can invest in Burton ’s new movie. "

Eric's eyes narrowed. If Tim Burton was not heard, he would only sniff at the requirements of Johnny · Depp. Now the three Brokerage Firms of Hollywood have no confidence to bind on Firefly Group, let alone a Actor.

"What is Tim Burton ’s new movie?"

Katzenberg thought for a while and said: "It is a very old horror novel changed movie called" Sleepy Hollow "."

Sure enough.
