After talking with Katzenberg about Titanic, Eric drove back to the Pointe Manor.

As the twilight deepened, Eric walked into the villa, walked through the hall to the glass curtain wall, and saw Nicole sitting lazily on the sofa, holding a comic book with relish.

Yep, it's a comic.

At this time, there are thousands of various comics stacked around the sofa where Eric often rests by the curtain wall. When he returned to the United States and made the later stage of Casino Royale, Eric also began to prepare for the Marvel Cinematic Universe plan in advance. , Although the first Marvel superhero movie Spider-Man is planned to be launched around 2000, starting from next year, the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe plan must be planned. Eric does not want to repeat the original time and space. Due to the hasty launch of the dc movie universe, Zhongna has suffered a bad box office failure or word of mouth one after another.

The main setting work of the Marvel Cinematic Universe plan is still in charge of Marvel. However, if Eric wants to participate in the creation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe plan, he must also have a full understanding of Marvel's comic characters.

The thousands of comics in front of them were all moved from the New York Marvel Works Archive. When Eric called these comics, Mr. Stan Lee repeatedly repeated to Eric that he would return it after reading it. , Because of the accumulation of decades, many of these comics have become very expensive collector's editions. Many Americans have a hobby of comic collection. As a super comic fan, Nicolas Cage even spent hundreds of dollars on comic collections. Ten thousand U.S. dollars. Therefore, the pile of comics that seem to be outdated in front of them is enough to make any senior comics fan want to rob them.

Noticing Eric's appearance, Nicole raised her head, smiled at him, took off the headphones hidden in her hair, and said, Eric, you're back.

Eric nodded, took off his coat, and walked over. Nicole put down her cross-legged legs, gave way to the side, and the two sat down on a single sofa.

Putting on one of the headphones Nicole just took off, Eric asked, Where's Jensen?

Thanksgiving is coming soon, and the girl is busy with the promotion of Mission Impossible 2. This Thanksgiving Eric will spend with Nicole and Famke. After Thanksgiving, when Mission: Impossible 2 was released, Eric would take Xiao Nizi to New York to spend Christmas with women and children.

Nicole recently liked the pocket-friendly mp3 player that Firefly Electronics just developed. She also put on another earphone and enjoyed the music coming from the earphone. She said, She went to the supermarket. , By the way, Eric, before you came back, Ms. Haynes sent some documents, saying it was from New York.

Eric stretched his arms around Nicole's thin waist,

Leaning on the back of the chair, he said, Leave it for now, I don't want to see any more company documents today.

After listening to a series of bad news about Titanic in the afternoon, Eric is not in any mood to deal with any corporate affairs at all.

Nicole is also aware of the tremendous pressure that Titanic has caused on Fireflies recently. She has just noticed the exhaustion between Eric's brows, so she will not mention it again. He picked up the thin cartoon on his lap, leaned over and leaned in front of Eric, and said, Eric, I found a very interesting thing, it turns out that Peter Parker's parents are cia agents. , and also saved Wolverine.

Eric knew that Nico was deliberately provoking a light topic, and said with a smile: If you read all the thousands of Marvel comics around you, you will find that in the Marvel comics system, almost all characters are It can generate connections. It is a gimmick for many comic companies to increase the sales of their works by making their popular characters intersect with plots.”

It sounds very similar to MGM's Agent Movie Universe, Nicole tilted her head and said, Or, did you get the inspiration for the Agent Movie Universe from the comics company?

Eric nodded and admitted, Yeah.

Nicole didn't expect that her random guess was wrong. She was a little excited and raised the comic in her hand, saying, Then which superhero are you going to shoot first?

Spider-Man has been confirmed, but in addition, I will cooperate with MGM and Fox, and start other projects at the same time. In the future, I plan to bring all the popular characters in the entire Marvel universe to the big screen.

As Marvel's most popular superhero, Spider-Man will definitely stay with Firefly, but Eric hasn't figured out which superhero roles MGM and Fox will be responsible for. The distribution of Marvel superheroes in the original time and space is certainly impossible to copy as it is, which requires very detailed planning.

Compared to DC, which has developed many successful live-action super movies, Marvel's popularity in movies is almost non-existent. Therefore, one thing Eric has determined is that the original time and space have been successful first. Superhero characters are put on the big screen, such as Spider-Man, Iron Man and X-Men, which can quickly open up the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After these characters have developed enough market and popularity, new superheroes can be introduced. The chances of the film being a box office success will also be higher.

Nicole didn't know Eric's detailed plan, but she couldn't help but sighed. Although it was just a pastime these days, Nicole had already developed some understanding of Marvel's comic characters. If the plan mentioned can be fully implemented, then the plan can definitely be described as grand.

Then, if all of them are put on the big screen, there may be dozens of them.

Of course, Eric looked at Nicole's thin lips that were slightly opened in surprise, reached out and touched it lightly, and said with a smile: You have also read comics for several days, and there are characters you are interested in. ?

Nicole opened her mouth to bite, watched him subconsciously retract her fingers, and said with a smile, I'm not interested yet, speaking of which, Marvel doesn't seem to have a female superhero as popular as DC's Wonder Woman. Oh.

Popularity is built up slowly. If a female superhero under Marvel can have a successful TV series like Wonder Woman, it must be very popular now.

Eric explained one sentence and stopped talking about this topic. Even if Nicole is interested in a female character, it is not so easy to really want to join. Nicole's current salary has reached more than 15 million US dollars, the highest salary for an actress. This kind of high salary is completely inconsistent with Eric's plan to focus on second- and third-tier Hollywood movie stars.

However, suddenly remembering something, Eric quickly said again: By the way, by the way, I still have a character here that I hope you can join.

Nicole showed a puzzled expression, keenly grasped a certain key word in Eric's tone, and said with a half-smile, Come on?

Yeah, this is a trilogy series, and it may develop into a six-part series in the future. There is a character in it. The role is not too much, but it is very important. Among all the actresses I know, I think only you are the most suitable. .However, in terms of remuneration, you can only be offered $3 million, because this is a group show, and although your role is important, it is not the protagonist.

Nicole blinked her light blue eyes, raised the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile: The trilogy is paid $3 million, I think if I agree, Pat may go crazy. But, since you say me Is the only suitable person in your mind, then I promise you. Hey, what role is it?

With Nicole's current worth, $3 million to take over the next trilogy, as her agent, Pai Kingsley will probably go crazy when she hears this news, not because of her agent's commission Therefore, it has been greatly reduced, but this performance contract will cause unpredictable risks to Nicole's super-star status.

Eric reached out to hold Nicole's chin, and looked at the flawless face in front of him. Nicole was twenty-nine years old this year. It was at the most prosperous moment for a woman, with slender eyelashes, a round face, and a petite face. nose, thin lips, everything is so perfect.

Eric couldn't help kissing Nicole's lips before saying, Your character is an elf, Queen Galadriel, you know?

It turned out to be The Lord of the Rings, Nicole suddenly realized.

Eric nodded. In the original Lord of the Rings series, Queen Galadriel was played by Cate Blanchett. In terms of acting alone, Cate Blanchett is indeed stronger than Nicole, but In terms of beauty, Cate Blanchett is far less than Nicole.

In Eric's view, as the incarnation of nobility and elegance, how can a elf not be beautiful?

MGM will announce the project plan for the Lord of the Rings series next fall. The trilogy will be back-to-back production. It will probably take a little more than a year to shoot in New Zealand. However, your part should only take two or three weeks. Delayed too long.

From this year's summer season to next year's summer season, MGM has released three heavyweight films in the MGM Agents movie universe in several popular seasons. As long as the box office performance of these three films is stable, MGM will have enough confidence to announce The Lord of the Rings trilogy, a super-large project involving $300 million in funding, has the performance support of the Agent Cinematic Universe plan, and other MGM shareholders are unlikely to raise too strong objections.

Nicole has actually heard some news about the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but she doesn't care about it, but stares at Eric and asks curiously: I play Queen Galadriel's words. , who will play Princess Arwen?

Eric didn't hide it, pinched Nicole's chin, and said, Diane Kruger, what do you think?

You really spoil those pretty babies, Nicole teased subconsciously.

In the past two years, Victoria's Secret Angels have frequently appeared in Hollywood films, which has become a topic that many people talk about. Everyone knows who is secretly promoting this matter. Therefore, about Eric and the Victoria's Secret Angel Legion There have been countless versions of rumors and speculations about , and the more exaggerated rumors are that Eric has 'cleaned up' the Victoria's Secret Angel Legion.

The women around him have ridiculed him more than once, and Eric didn't mind, saying: I just want to make this film more perfect. Since it is an elves, it should be beautiful first. Moreover, the earliest legend of elves It happens to be a creature from Germanic mythology, and Diane is German, which fits the setting 100 percent.

I'm too lazy to listen to your explanation, Nicole rolled his eyes at him, reached out and retrieved the earphone from Eric's ear and put it on her ear, just as she was about to say something, Famke Jansen held two full Full of convenience bags, he walked across the hall on high heels.

Looking at Eric and Nicole snuggling up on a sofa, Famke Jansen said with some snacks: I ran to buy food, but you two guys are making out here.

Hehe, come on, let's make out, too, Eric watched Famke Jansen put down the convenience bag and stretched out his hand to pull her to his side.

Famke Jansen sat down on the armrest of the sofa on the other side of Eric, opened Eric's hand, and said, Okay, what were you two talking about just now?

Eric said casually: What about you, after the New Year, what are your plans?

The seventh season of The X-Files is already airing on Fox, and it will be the last in the classic sci-fi series, although Fox has repeatedly offered very good terms, Brad Pitt and Famke Janssen Both protagonists are reluctant to renew their contracts. Brad Pitt wanted to take the opportunity to enter the film industry, but Famke was a little tired. In order to save the budget, the last few seasons of The X-Files were shot in Canada. Famke didn't want to continue to travel a few times every year. day of the month.

Sci-fi TV shows are usually filmed all at once, and although the episodes are still on the air, Famke has completed all his work and is resting.

I don't have any plans for now. I plan to take a year off to do some charity work. After the new year, I plan to go to Africa with a charity team to visit refugees.

Eric immediately showed a worried look and grabbed Famke's little hand: Baby, please, don't adopt black children like some Hollywood actresses, if you want, we can have one together, or else next year?

Famke's face was a little red. He thought Eric was trying to persuade her not to go to Africa or something, but he was a little moved. Hearing these words, he knocked someone's strange hand with a snap: You don't have this. Compassionate bastard, I've decided to ignore you for the rest of the day, Nicole, will you help me get these things into the kitchen?

Of course, it's time to prepare dinner, Nicole gave Eric a gloating look, got up and Famik picked up a convenience bag and walked towards the kitchen.

Eric looked at the tall backs of the two women whispering away, smiled, turned his body and flipped through the pair of comics next to him for a while, found a comic, and read it with relish.

There are several striking words printed on the cover of the comic.

Phoenix Awakening.

Jean Grey, the most powerful and complex female superhero character in the X-Men, can dig a lot deeper than DC Wonder Woman. (To be continued.)
