Eric got out of the car outside the Fox Headquarters office building in Century City, and came to Elizabeth's office with ease, but was blocked by the little secretary who was on the phone with a microphone in his hand, although he recognized Eric at a glance. , the other party still mustered up his courage and said, Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Williams, do you have an appointment?

Eric looked at the fair-faced blond 'girl' in front of him, and asked with interest: Can I make an appointment now, um, looking at the watch, Eric continued: The appointment is at 4:05 Divided. Pingshu-.79xs.-”

At this time, it happened to be 4:05 in the afternoon. Of course, the little secretary understood that Eric was making fun of herself. She knew more about the relationship between Eric and Elizabeth, but she had just joined the company in the past few days, so she didn't know what to do in this situation. Shouldn't have put Eric in directly.

Seeing the embarrassed look on his face, Eric smiled and said, Okay, just kidding, does Liz have guests now?

The little secretary shook his head

Eric said: Then you call her and say I'm here.

Only then did the little secretary react, put down the microphone that was still connected, pressed Elizabeth's landline again, said a few words, and then signaled Eric to go in.

Eric pushed the door and walked into Elizabeth's office. Elizabeth was burying herself in a pile of piles on the desk. Eric noticed that when he came in, the shoulders of Elizabeth's white shirt stopped for a moment, but there was no Looking up to say hello to him, he smiled, walked around the desk, leaned on the edge of the table beside Elizabeth, and said, Why did you change to such a young secretary, you don't understand anything.

no respond.

A wicked smile appeared on the corner of Eric's mouth, and he stretched out his hand and flicked lightly on Elizabeth's crystal earlobe.

what!

With a soft cry, Elizabeth's whole body trembled slightly, and her face raised angrily: You bastard, I'm at work. What are you doing here at this time?

It's nothing, I just got back from San Francisco and I miss you all of a sudden. Come and have a look.

uh-huh

A flash of joy flashed across Elizabeth's face, and then her face tensed up: I have nothing to look at. I don't have an agent movie universe here.

Oh, so today's little flame is here.

Eric laughed and wanted to reach out and squeeze Elizabeth's earlobe again, MGM doesn't have an animation studio.

Elizabeth clapped Eric's hand away and retorted, That's obviously different.

Okay, don't be angry, come and give me a kiss.

Eric reassured softly. She lowered her head and leaned over again, this time Elizabeth just dodged a little, letting Eric 'kiss' on her 'lip'.

After he 'kissed' and left, Elizabeth's tone was still sour, and said, Mission Spy, Night at the Museum, Charlie's Angels, and now 007, so many hot-selling series, you should spoil her soon. God.

Eric explained with a smile: You don't know the situation at MGM. Without the positive stimulation of these blockbuster series, after so many years of decline, it can't recover at all. And Fox is not very good now, right? This year, Jim Carrey's The King of Big Talk, the total North American box office should reach 180 million, and the cost is only 40 million. The return rate can be higher than any blockbuster in this summer. (Fiction ) Also, I heard you've been 'negotiating' with Lucas lately to restart Star Wars, what's the result?

Hearing Eric mentioning Star Wars made Elizabeth feel better.

The Star Wars franchise has been popular for over a decade. Reboots have been mentioned all these years.

And, according to the agreement of the year. Although nearly two decades have passed, Fox still owns the distribution rights to the Star Wars series. Although the bulk of the profits in this series belonged to Lucas. But just relying on the distribution rights of various channels in hand can also make Fox a lot of money.

Elizabeth said: I have been in contact with Lucas several times. The project can start preparations next year, and the specific release will not be until 1997 at least.

Although Elizabeth's tone was still a little unwilling, Eric knew that this time was two years earlier in his previous life, which was not bad.

It's useless to rush things like this, Eric said, picking up the piece in front of Elizabeth, and casually said, What are you doing?

This year's X-Files script is just right, how about you help me see it?

The X-Files is about to produce its sixth season. According to the plan, after the seventh season ends next year, neither Brad Pitt nor Famke Janssen will renew their contracts, and this classic sci-fi will be completely over.

Eric has completely let go of this project, and has not even watched the content of the first two seasons, only that the ratings of this show are very stable. At this time, the script of the new season is opened, and even a strange feeling arises.

Seeing Eric watching the script attentively, Elizabeth got up and pressed him on her office chair, saying, Watch first, I'll make coffee for you.

Eric nodded. Anyway, the matter about the branch in the digital field was not too urgent. He put the script on the desk and continued to turn the page.

After a while, Elizabeth came over with two cups of coffee, pulled another chair and sat down beside Eric, and was about to ask, but Eric had already 'extracted' a few pages from the script and said: I want this episode, let them rethink another episode.

Hey, I asked you to read the script for me, I didn't ask you to steal my stuff, Elizabeth protested dissatisfiedly, and picked up a few pages of the script that Eric 'drawn' out.

She had just read the script roughly once, and at this time she just glanced at it, and could probably recall the content.

The episode is about a series of mysterious deaths. While traveling at a school age in New York, a student has a premonition of a plane crash and gets off the plane before taking off, taking some other teachers and classmates off the plane. After the plane took off, an explosion occurred soon, killing all the passengers and crew of the plane, but some of those who got off the plane temporarily survived.

However, all this did not end, but was just the beginning. A few people who got off the plane by chance, in the following days. Died in various accidents, the incident was classified as a mystery, which attracted Inspector Mueller and his partner Scarlett to investigate. But in the end, they still failed to prevent the few remaining survivors from dying one by one, and they did not find any possible reasons.

Flip through the scriptwriter information. Elizabeth said: I remembered that the screenwriter of this episode is a Chinese. They have a lot of mysterious theories. This episode was written by him based on those thoughts. It seems that some kind of death is taking his life...

There is no doubt that the story in front of him is the previous life's Death is Coming. Eric just didn't expect to see this script here, and it was almost used in The X-Files.

He smiled and listened to Elizabeth's vague words. Eric explained with a smile: There is a kind of fatalism in the East. Their death god stipulates that everyone has a certain life span. When the time comes, you must die, and no one can escape the death of the god of death. This episode is based on this script. a theory.

Well, that's it, Elizabeth nodded, then remembered, and said, I forgot that you knew it. Then do they have any strange customs?

Eric pretended to think for a moment and said, Yes, their men can marry seven wives.

Nonsense. Elizabeth curled her lips, raised her hand to the script, and raised her chin: If you want, exchange something for it.

Eric 'Lu' showed an expression as if he had made up his mind: Otherwise, I'll be cheap for you tonight.

Bah, Elizabeth reached out and pinched Eric's waist lightly.

Eric grabbed her little hand and said, Okay, don't make trouble. I just had a script for you. Now I can change it with you. This script is very suitable for the new line.

Ah. What script? Elizabeth was interested.

Eric briefly talked about the script of Ace Power Spy, and he originally planned to let New Line develop this series. But as the relationship between Firefly and MGM grew closer, Eric finally decided to give up.

Like Disney will never spoof its own Snow White and Cinderella, MGM will never spoof the 007 series. Although Firefly has little connection with MGM on the surface, Eric has been leading the MGM Agents Cinematic Universe project recently. In this case, it is very inappropriate for New Line to make a spoof of the 007 series Ace of Power. .

After listening to Eric's story, Elizabeth roughly understood why Firefly didn't want this script, and said in a sour tone, You really protect her enough.

I will protect each of you.

Um……

Elizabeth snorted, slightly moved, and then realized that the 'you' in Eric's tone was plural, and reached out and hit Eric lightly: greedy guy.

Okay, don't make trouble, Eric patted Elizabeth on the shoulder and said, Tomorrow, let the writer of this episode contact the new line, I'll take the time to let people put the Ace of Power Spy The script is sent to you, by the way, there is one more thing, if possible, the 'heroine' protagonist of Ace Power Spy, try to choose from the Victoria's Secret Angels.

I remember, but if their acting skills are not good enough, I won't agree.

The 'female' protagonist in this episode is a 'flower' vase, where do you need any acting skills, as long as she is beautiful enough, Eric smiled, looked at his watch, and said, It's almost time, I'll invite you to dinner later, Let’s talk business by the way.”

I know you won't come to me for no reason, Elizabeth muttered, and began to pack up, preparing to leave work early.

The two left the company together. Eric wanted to be called Julia, but when he asked, he found out that Julia went to the UK.

Shakespeare in Love? In a restaurant in Foley Hills, Arie was a little surprised again when he heard Elizabeth's name.

It turned out that the Weinstein brothers have now begun preparations for the film Shakespeare in Love, and invited Julia to play the female lead.

Julia decided that Daniel Day-Lewis would be the best fit for Shakespeare, so she went to England to invite him.

After In the Name of the Father and The Age of Innocence two years ago, Daniel Day-Lewis was temporarily out of the shadows because he just got married, and his output was not high. Eric was not optimistic about Zhu. The purpose of Leah's trip to England this time.

However, Eric quickly remembered another thing, Shakespeare in Love was definitely the big winner of the 1999 Oscar in the original time and space, and also won the best water queen.

It's just that there is Forrest Gump this year. Eric absolutely doesn't believe that the Weinstein brothers can use Shakespeare in Love to get Forrest Gump down to public relations.

What is Miramax's detailed production plan, I mean, it shouldn't be released this year, right?

It was originally planned, Elizabeth flipped through the menu, glanced at Eric, and said, However, Harvey is very optimistic about this project, but he also knows that if it is released this year, this film at the Oscars will definitely be Can't win Forrest Gump, so it's pushed to next year, and Julia is going to the UK now, and she also wants to ask Daniel Day Lewis' schedule for next year.

Oh, that's good. Although the Oscar-winning actress in the previous life was a bit watery, the overall Oscar strength of Shakespeare in Love is unquestionable. If it hits Forrest Gump, it may be another tragedy in Oscar history.

uh, tragedy.

There is Forrest Gump this year, so next year...

Titanic.

If Forrest Gump is what everyone expects, then Titanic definitely smashed Oscar's reads with the box office.

Elizabeth noticed the change in Eric's face and asked, What's wrong?

I mean, does Julia intend to win an Oscar or something? Eric considered for a moment and asked.

Elizabeth nodded: She wanted to try, so she invited Daniel Day-Lewis. However, as long as she can make a nomination line this time, she is not in a hurry anyway.

Julia is only twenty-eight years old, and it is not so easy for an actor, whether male or female, to win an Oscar before the age of 30.

Hearing what Elizabeth said, Eric said, Then why don't you wait for two more years? I mean, if Daniel Day Lewis can't be hired this time, maybe you can wait another two years for this project.

Elizabeth was stunned for a while, and she probably understood, and said, Next year...you, there won't be a movie of the level of Forrest Gump here, right?

Eric shrugged: I can't be too sure about this kind of thing, but maybe 'sex' is, um, really big.

Elizabeth took a long breath, and then said to Eric: You still let others live. q
