I’m in Hollywood

Shot today is a series of shots of Ryan entering the interior of the space station.

The crew has built a model of the interior of the space station in another studio in advance. It is actually very simple, just a few concave passages covered with green screens. The scenes in the film full of precision instruments inside the space station are all generated by CG.

Holding the thick director's desk and not letting go, Eric concealed the problem that his arms did not dare to sag naturally to touch his waist. Although there will still be attentive people who notice the difference, no one will ask Eric about these details.

Hey, Nickel, recall the feeling of standing next to the glass curtain wall watching the swimming fish when you went to the aquarium. In this set of shots, I hope that Judy will feel like a free fish to the audience. The eyes of tourists who swim the fish move.

Beside the concave passage, Eric was talking to Nickel about his requirements for the next set of shots, and Jodie Foster came out of the dressing room wearing a special dress that could hang Weiya.

In order to allow Judy to perform various actions in the air, this time there are seven Weiya ropes, and the thin ropes are connected to Judy from shoulders to waist and crotch. After the installation of the device is completed, her whole person is about Like a marionette.

In Gravity, there are few well-rounded shots. All the scenes seem to be wandering at any time, and all kinds of tricky camera angles are emerging one after another. It is difficult for regular photographers to shoot with hand-held hands to achieve this effect. , At this time, the shooting slide rail and the robotic arm that can precisely control the camera are still installed on the outside of the concave groove.

Eric and Nichol chatted for a while, Nichol went over to prepare, and Judy walked in.

Eric admired Judy's beautiful blue eyes, and regretted that a certain stalk in the original version could not be used, and said, Today's shooting will be very tiring, are you ready?

There was still some time for Nikkor's preparations. The vest under the t-shirt used to connect Wia was not light at all. Judy simply sat down next to Eric and said, Is it more tired than the other day?

Eric nodded solemnly: Of course, but don't worry, I have told the chef to add two eggs for you at noon.

Judy smiled, but her eyes were a little bad. She looked at Eric without a trace, and said, You are such a big capitalist, you only have two eggs, so stingy.

Eric showed a painful expression on his face: Or, add one more, no more.

Haha, Judy chuckled lightly, her eyes narrowed slightly, she suddenly reached out, and accurately tapped somewhere on Eric's waist with her index finger.

what!

The unsuspecting Eric suffered a sudden pain and almost jumped up from the chair, but he was more surprised at how this woman knew.

The busy crew members all looked over with Eric's voice. When they found out that the heroine and the director were 'interacting', they continued their work by pretending to know nothing.

Judy was startled by Eric's actions, and quickly said: Sorry, Eric, I just wanted to make a joke with you.

It's okay, Eric shook his head, feeling the blankness in Judy's tone, and forgiving her generously.

However, women are obviously naturally curious creatures. After Judy apologized, she immediately asked, Eric, what's wrong with your waist?

Eric shook his head casually: It's nothing, I accidentally touched it.

Oh, Judy replied, but the doubts in her eyes did not dissipate. After a while, she seemed to think of something, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help showing an inexplicable smile.

Eric noticed the small smile at the corner of Judy's mouth, and thought that this woman couldn't have guessed it like Kasperberg, so he said, What's wrong?

Judy moved her head a little closer and lowered her voice: Clamped?

All right.

It seems that the brain holes of the Hollywood natives are not generally high.

Fortunately, Eric was somewhat mentally prepared this time.

Very calmly, he glanced at Judy's two long white legs outside his black shorts, and said, Would you like to pinch me and see if you have the strength to pinch people?

Maybe we women don't, Judy grinned and winked, but not for men.

Eric felt a chill, and threatened: Be careful I will deduct your eggs.

Haha, Judy laughed, but couldn't help but ask, What the hell is going on?

As you imagined, it was caught by a woman, Eric decisively turned on the mode of telling the truth and no one believed it: Have seen Golden Eye, I also encountered a Russian female agent last night.

Judy suddenly looked surprised: Oh~~~

Oh what do you mean?

Judy still smiled, Eric, I'm actually quite familiar with Drew.

Eric tried to play stupid: So what?

Judy raised his hand and gestured to come over again. Eric was so frightened that he hurriedly blocked the thick director's desk. Judy raised his chin proudly, got up and said, Okay, I'm going to start work, Mr. absurd director.

You are a trial without evidence.

I am a woman.

...

Fortunately, no one else saw this except Judy.

The staff fastened the Wea line connected to the ceiling track to the interface on Judy's back in turn, and tested it a few times, and today's shooting officially started.

at the same time.

In an ordinary office building in North Hollywood, this is the headquarters of an elite talent agency. Although the name is somewhat similar to C+ (Innovative Elite Cultural Agency), it is actually just a small typical Hollywood agency. Western There is really no talent for people to come up with names.

Shortly after his agent Matt Gilson went to work, he received a call from the Firefly Group's copyright trading department, asking him to rush to the Firefly Group's Burbank headquarters in the morning to discuss a script in his hand.

The elite talent agency is very small, and Matt Gilson is both an artist agent and a script agent, but, to be honest, in such a small company, the more 'generalist', the more insignificant it actually becomes.

Matt Gilson has only a few rookie actors and the agency work of a few Hollywood screenwriters who are not well-known in Hollywood. In his hands, the script of Pirates of the Caribbean has two screenwriters, Terry Lucio and Ted E. Although Riot worked at Paramount Animation Studios, except for the original 2D animated film Aladdin, he did not have other brilliant scripts. As we all know, animated films are more the result of brainstorming by a group of screenwriters. Influenced by Cutthroat Island, the script of Pirates of the Caribbean has been written for several years and nobody cares.

However, since last week, Matt Gilson has clearly felt something different.

The script that had been buried in his hands for several years seemed to suddenly attract attention, and it was the Firefly Group who paid attention to this script, which immediately made Matt Gilson aware of the opportunity.

The script in hand is not perfect. At this time, it is very unlikely that it will be sold for more than $100,000 due to the fame of the two screenwriters Terry Lucio in Hollywood.

However, Matt Gilson thought that if the script could be linked to someone's name, the value of the script would definitely increase tenfold.

Moreover, he keenly felt that this script was likely to have been picked by Eric Williams himself. After all, the box office fiasco of Cutthroat Island has been included in the Guinness Book of Records. In recent years, Hollywood can basically be said to be insulated from pirate films. Out of prudence, it is impossible for a slightly normal film company executive to Interested in pirate movies.

What's more, the original Cutthroat Island came from Disney, which has become a subsidiary of the Firefly Group. A large part of the current Firefly Group executives are from Disney, and they have a personal experience with the box office fiasco of Cutthroat Island. experience.

Under normal circumstances, it should be even less likely to be interested in pirate films. In this way, only Eric Williams himself can choose a pirate film script without any scruples.

Although he had these thoughts in his mind, Matt Gilson rushed to the headquarters of the Firefly Group without much hesitation. Now even the three major brokerage companies cannot take Joe in front of the Firefly Group, an unknown broker. People don't even dare to have any airs.

However, although the other party's offer of 100,000 dollars was very generous for this script, Matt Gilson did not immediately agree to the other party, but only said that he would discuss it with his employer.

The Firefly script purchasing department manager who was in charge of negotiating with him did not show any urgency. The two sides agreed on the next contact time, and Matt Gilson left the Firefly Burbank headquarters.

Recalling the conversation just now, Matt Gilson shook his head helplessly. The manager was impeccable during the conversation, and he didn't try to find out the information he wanted at all.

However, thinking of the recent super dark horse Midnight Bell, Matt Gilson felt that this was enough to take a risk.

Because of Eric Williams' fancy, a Japanese horror film script like Midnight Bell can sell well at the box office. Now the North American box office alone has easily exceeded 170 million US dollars, and the box office performance has even exceeded Most Hollywood summer blockbusters, and this horror film costs only $30 million.

At the same time, the box office of films related to Eric Williams in this summer file is basically a boom. According to these standards, if the script of Pirates of the Caribbean is really favored by Eric Williams , then it could be worth at least five million dollars.

As an agent, Matt Gilson's salary is actually very variable, but on average, he earns about $5,000 a month. If Pirates of the Caribbean can be sold for a sky-high price, the income from this fee will almost be worth his ten years' salary.

The money earned at one time is worth ten years, and Matt Gilson really can't think of any reason for him not to take a risk.

Although he had his own calculus, Matt Gilson didn't hide it from his two employers. When he returned to the company, he called Terry Lucio and explained his guess in detail. Terry Lucio was also quite moved.

The three of them had lunch together again, and after a detailed discussion, they roughly settled on their attention.

Starting in the afternoon, Matt Gilson contacted his acquaintances from several other major Hollywood studios one by one, claiming that he had a script that Eric Williams might be personally interested in.

During this period of time, due to the influence of the super dark horse at the box office, Midnight Bell, while frantically collecting Japanese horror movie scripts, Hollywood film companies naturally paid great attention to the projects that Eric himself was interested in, and even had already Commercial espionage is enabled, but Eric has already suffered losses in this regard, and now it is naturally impossible to make such small mistakes again.

However, Matt Gilson's statement is still very marketable. Even though it has been several years, there are really not many film companies in Hollywood who dare to make pirate films. What's more, Pirates of the Caribbean looks like a high-budget movie. special effects movies.

Except for Eric Williams, very few people in Hollywood would take a fancy to such a script.

Although Matt Gilson had a lot of room to spare, he did not guarantee 100% of the votes, but before the afternoon off work time, copies of the script of Pirates of the Caribbean had already appeared on the desks of executives of major film companies.

Before the crew ended work in the afternoon, Eric received consecutive calls from the girl and Elizabeth, and even some other people's temptations. Kashenberg also asked himself if he should come over and discuss countermeasures.

Let the script purchasing department suspend contact with the other party, let's see the situation and then talk about it. Standing alone in the corner after the phone call with Kashenberg, Eric was also a little helpless.

The current Pirates of the Caribbean script and the previous film are basically two stories. Eric is not worried that if the script is taken away by others, it will replicate the former box office glory. However, if such a series with unlimited potential is destroyed It would be a pity, too.

Eric, I tried it again, but it still doesn't work, Nikkor said to Eric when he walked back to the shooting location: If you want Judy to make the baby's position in the mother's body under the condition of Wia, there is no way at all. maintain balance.

Judy is still attached to the Weiya string, and can only look over from the specially made space station model.

Eric walked to the monitor and played back the footage just now.

This shot is shot from the side, giving the impression that Judy is floating in the space capsule sideways to the audience. In fact, she is still hanging vertically on Wea, and her own rotation in the shot is also done through the relative movement of the camera. of.

Because the Wia rope is on the back, to maintain balance, Judy's legs can only be stretched out, and it is impossible to curl up like a baby.

The scene where Ryan is curled up alone in the space capsule like a baby in the film is a very classic and profound scene, and Eric does not intend to modify or perfunctory.

However, thinking about Pirates of the Caribbean in his heart, Eric felt a little irritable. After discussing with Nichol and Robert Byron for a while, he didn't come up with any suitable solution for a while, and the time was almost there. Announced to close early today.
