I’m in Hollywood

You wrote the whole script in just four days? Jeffrey picked up the top Scent of a Woman and looked at it, and asked Eric in surprise.

It's only the first draft. When shooting, I will definitely make a lot of revisions according to the specific situation. Eric replied, took a few steps back and sat comfortably on the sofa, and asked, I faxed it to you before. That script outline that asked you to send an invitation to Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise, did you respond?

Jeffrey flipped through the work records and said, All responded, and it was Sean's invitation to send Tom Hanks, but Hanks wanted to play the role of Andy, and he felt that role was just right. Yixie is very malleable and has more room for acting. Tom Cruise also expressed a strong interest in this script, but he hopes to modify Andy's women's clothing plot, he does not want to be in the hearts of fans. Damaged image.

The next movie that Eric is going to shoot is the pinnacle of the previous Galaxy Image - Dark War.

When writing the script, Eric directly used the English names of Andy and Qingyun to name the two male protagonists.

If you want to choose two actors to replace Andy and Qingyun in Hollywood, is there a more suitable one than Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks? The two are an idol group and a powerful group, so similar to the pair in the previous life.

Of course, Hanks is still a little handsome now, but there are only so many left, and he will soon be disabled. If Hanks were to replace Andy's role, with the current image, would the bus girl fall in love with you at first sight, or would you be so ignorant!

Jeffrey, they probably don't know each other has been invited. You tell them the news and see if you can make an appointment to talk together.

Okay, I'll contact them later. Jeffrey replied: Also, Herbert Ross promised Firefly to invest in Steel Magnolia, but Kapoor insisted that Julia should be paid $5 million, if that’s the case, the production cost of the movie will be at least $13 million. Herbert Ross only raised an investment of $4 million before, and Firefly needs an additional $9 million. Would you like to communicate with Kapoor to see if you can do it? Lower Julia's salary, after all, this is a group show, and Julia's role is not much, I think the maximum is 3 million, and if it is higher, it will be more than the loss.

I'll call Kapoor, Eric nodded. By the way, you can make a copy of the script of Scent of a Woman and give it to Al, so he can start preparing. In addition, at the bottom For that script, send the script outlines to Wes Craven, William Friedkin and Jonathan Demme to see if they are interested in directing this work.

After Jeffrey wrote it down, he took a look at the last script: The Uninvited Guest?

Eric nodded, this movie, perhaps another translation is better known: Cry on the Island. But Eric felt that the translation into The Uninvited Guest was more appropriate. The original English name of the film was The-Others

As for the three favorite directors he said, Wes Craven was the director of the famous Nightmare Street series, and later the Scream series.

William Friedkin directed The Exorcist in 1973. This horror film was once called Hollywood's No. 1 horror film. Of course, this title has been shaky since the rise of Japanese horror films in Hollywood. The last Jonathan Demme is still just a small director, but in parallel time and space, the other party will launch Silence of the Lambs two years later and become an instant hit.

The reason why the now unknown Jonathan Demme is added to the two already famous masters is for Virginia's sake.

Eric doesn't doubt that a big reversal horror film like The Island will not be recognized by the first two horror masters who have been famous for many years, but he is not sure whether the other party will accept Virginia as the role. heroine. On this point, Eric is not going to give in. In this regard, Jonathan Demme could not have bargaining with Eric.

Are you sending out invitations individually, or one by one? Jeffrey asked again.

Send it at the same time, remember to indicate that the heroine has been decided, there is no room for negotiation on this point.

Jeffrey showed an ambiguous smile: Eric, which girl do you like again?

Virginia Madsen.

Jeffrey remembered that at the Fengyue celebration party, he followed Eric away from the actress with big breasts.

Eric, I have to remind you, Jeffrey rarely took out the posture of his elders' admonition back: Investing in movies is a matter that needs to be extremely cautious and cautious. You can't do it for one night丨It's not worth it, even if you leave a huge check to the other party, you can't make a promise easily. Because once the movie fails because of the heroine, you have to pay millions Even a loss of tens of millions of dollars, such a large sum of money, even the most advanced call girl, is enough to find thousands of them.

Eric never takes anger or ignores those who persuade him with kindness. After listening to Jeffrey's advice patiently, he explained: Don't worry, Jeffrey, I am very measured in this regard. Kapoor signed Virginia. If she didn't have the potential, I wouldn't do it. Didn't you and Kapoor both like Julia in the first place, how is it now?

You know what you're doing.

Then, I'll leave the matter here to you, Jeffrey. Eric stood up: I told you about Amy looking for me on the phone before, and I happened to have an appointment with Mr. Barry Diller today. talk.

You seem to be used to the phrase 'it's up to you', and I'm considering whether to apply for a raise? Jeffrey said jokingly. In fact, he enjoys his busy and fulfilling life now, compared to the first time The decadence of meeting, Jeffrey now looks a lot younger, the whole person is red and full of energy.

Eric knows that Jeffrey is joking. The other party's current position is the president of Firefly, plus the dividends from Eric's film production. Although he has not yet obtained the shares of Firefly, his income definitely belongs to the pyramid in Hollywood. Top Level: Add a dollar if you insist.

After a few jokes, Jeffrey got up and sent Eric out, and ordered: Don't fall out with Fox, try to be polite.

Eric shrugged: Involving tens of millions of dollars in profits, it is useless to be euphemistic. Who made Fox not pay attention to the specific details of the contract, and I am not a breach of contract. Anyway, I will not let Columbia's this one go. Opportunity, I think even if Barry Diller is in my seat, the other party's choice will definitely be the same as mine.
