I’m in Hollywood

After Eric and Murdoch met on Sunset Boulevard, although Murdoch acted pretentiously in public, Eric was not without any preparations. information.

Therefore, in the early morning of the next day, a lot of specious news appeared in many newspapers. For a time, Fox will continue to distribute all the films directed by Eric in the next three years; Fox will implement an equity swap in Firefly to To ensure that the two sides can cooperate more deeply and for a long time; or news such as Fox will cooperate with Firefly to produce special effects blockbuster Jurassic Park and so on, although these news are no big deal in the eyes of ordinary people, but in It caused a huge sensation in Hollywood circles.

There is no doubt that many people in the Hollywood circle who know the inside story of the turmoil some time ago are aware that Fox has completely 'betrayed' the alliance of the seven major film companies and fell to Firefly.

After this turmoil, there is no doubt that Fox will be the biggest beneficiary in addition to the unharmed Firefly.

Next, although Fox made an effort to clarify and repeatedly stated that Fox did not reach much cooperation with Firefly, the two originally suspended programs of the TV series The X-Files and Who Will Be a Millionaire were quickly restarted, no doubt using the facts It proves that Fox and Firefly have entered into some cooperation agreements.

Under such circumstances, the alliance of several other major film companies that had no longer had any expectations for this action against Firefly quickly disintegrated.

At the same time, in order to make up for the rift between the two sides, several major film companies have expressed goodwill to Firefly, expecting to reach some cooperation with Eric. After all, last year was the whole year. The total box office in North America for the whole year exceeded the $5 billion mark, and a series of films related to Eric accounted for nearly one-fifth of the total box office. Therefore, no one will doubt Eric's strength in film. Since the suppression is fruitless, then cooperation and win-win situation is undoubtedly the best way.

Robert, the selling point of this movie is not pure eroticism, pure sex, love can only bring simple and short-lived impulses, but when sex and love are combined with bloody violence , human desires will become extremely strong. This is the biggest selling point of the script Instinct. You should have read the script. If the first bed scene in the script is just a bed scene If so, perhaps the audience will only whistle and exclaim in coax-like exclamation, but when the originally passionate sex suddenly turns into a blood-splattered slaughter, the audience's adrenaline will be quickly stimulated, so that the audience will not know what to expect. Feeling, being sucked into this story.

In the small conference room of Firefly, Eric was introducing the script of Instinct to Robert Shea. Originally, Eric came up with the script, and Robert Shea also expressed a strong interest. However, when Eric later stated that he would not be signing the script, Robert Shea became suspicious. Although Robert Shea read the script. I also understand that Eric did not sign this script for the sake of his public image. After all, after the script Instinct is made into a movie, it will definitely attract a lot of controversy.

However, this reason does not completely reassure Robert Shea. During his negotiation with Eric last year, he finally managed to win the quota to independently operate two major production films this year. If he messes up, it'll be hard for him to ask to lead a big-budget movie in the future. Only obediently responsible for the distribution of the film.

Therefore, although the script of Instinct was written by Eric himself. But when Eric expressed his unwillingness to be associated with this movie, Robert Shea had concerns, from Eric's response to the storm some time ago, and the recent dismantling of the alliance of the seven major film companies. Means, Robert Shea doesn't think of Eric as a young man under twenty years old at all, so he doesn't dare to take over Eric's script with complete confidence, maybe this is Eric It's a set that Gram gave himself. If the film is produced and hits the streets, it is difficult for him to imagine that Eric will not put the blame on him. After all, all the scripts Eric has come up with so far have sold out.

After thinking for a while, Robert Shea found another reason and said: Eric, I think that when this movie is made, there will definitely be a lot of trouble in grading, you just said that this movie The production cost of the film was over $20 million, and if it was graded -17, we would definitely lose everything. We just had a confrontation with the seven major studios for a while, and there is no guarantee that they will not choke us in this regard, after all, Everyone knows that the Film Classification Board is controlled by the Seventh Congress.

Eric listened to Robert Shea's insincere words, and understood what the other party was worried about. He sighed in his heart and didn't plan to persuade him any more.

Since Robert is unwilling, then hand over the film to Jeffrey to operate, so that he can also step in without hesitation to prevent the film from deviates too much from his previous life.

Just as he was about to speak, the mobile phone placed on Eric's right hand suddenly rang, and the ringing sound was extremely harsh in the conference room with only the two of them.

Robert Shea didn't show displeasure, he gestured to Eric and picked up the coffee in front of him.

Eric hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to grab the mobile phone, and at the same time secretly prayed in his heart not to be a 'debt collector'.

That night, by accident, Eric put Elizabeth and Julia on a bed to play. Although it was very exciting at the time, Eric had to flee again early in the morning. Otherwise, when the two women woke up early in the morning and found out about this, it was impossible to guarantee that they would not do anything tragic when they were excited. And he secretly left in advance, and he could also leave a buffer time for the two women to calm down a little.

But things were beyond Eric's expectations. He originally thought that Elizabeth and Julia would come to him that day to 'invite him', but three days had passed, and neither Elizabeth nor Julia had any movement. Eric not only did not feel relieved, but even more uneasy.

With a gesture to Robert Shea, Eric walked out of the small conference room with the phone, and only connected to the phone at the end of the corridor. (To be continued)
