I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 1097

[The first thousand and sixty-three chapters are not delicious]

Because of the temporary change of landline, Eric had lunch with the girl and others in Ventura at noon before officially taking off.

The 767 slipped smoothly into the stratosphere, and Mayer unbuckled his seatbelt.

Caroline is still recovering from a foot injury. Apart from the routine group of bodyguards, she is the only one to follow Eric to London.

After carefully checking Eric’s schedule for the next few days, seeing the flight attendant on the plane walking over with coffee, Mayer stood up to stop him and smiled, “I’ll come.”

Stewardess is a staff temporarily deployed by an aircraft leasing company, with a tall figure and delicate face that are standard for girls in this industry.

Because it was to serve Eric Williams, the flight mission dispatched by the company in the morning even caused a lot of competition, and she managed to get a spot.

Just heard that Eric Williams in the study needs coffee, and she dressed up.

Beautiful women are always ambitious, and if she can get close to Eric Williams and win her favor, she can go straight to the top.

Intercepted by Mayer at this time, the flight attendant was very unhappy, but the smile on her face did not change, and said, “Miss Mayer, I can come.”

“I happen to have work to talk to Eric,” Mayer directly reached out to take the tray from the stewardess, and at the same time put away the smile on his face, with a bit of command in his tone, and said, “Go back. ”

The flight attendant didn’t dare to offend Eric’s personal assistant.

When the flight attendant disappeared at the entrance of the rest area, Mayer breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had just been a little bit of a fox, and he could not help but stuck out his tongue in a guilty conscience before walking towards the other side of the plane study. .

Eric was leaning on the leather chair behind the desk in the study, reading a script intently, when he heard a knock on the door, he didn’t lift his head, just answered softly.

Mayer gently walked to the desk, poured a cup of coffee for Eric, put the coffee pot next to him, looked at the focused man in front of him, and suddenly remembered what happened in the morning.

Those two Gulfstream Vs, it seems that he will definitely not ride in the future.

What a wayward guy, a private jet worth 36 million US dollars, and there are still two, and they are thrown aside. In this world, it is estimated that only this guy in front of him has enough confidence to do so.

You must know that the price of $36 million for two Gulfstream Vs is just the beginning, and the annual maintenance and flight costs in the future will be at least 10% of the aircraft cost. This is a long-term expense that many people cannot afford. , This is probably the reason why many rich people prefer to lease private jets for a long time rather than buy them themselves.

Eric turned the page of the “Fight Club” script in his hand and felt that the people beside him had not left, so he looked up and interrupted Mayer’s daze with a smile: “Mary, what’s wrong with you?”

“Oh, no,” Mayer realized that he was distracted, shook his head quickly, and quickly found a topic that allowed him to escape the embarrassment, and said: “I just saw that you are reading this script, in fact, when I organize the information for you , I just turned it over, but I didn’t understand what Director Finch wanted to express this time.”

“It’s very simple,” Eric said with a smile at the corner of his mouth: “Finch wants to tell everyone this time, you can’t avoid illness and avoid doctors. If you have a mental illness, you should find it early and treat it early, otherwise you will harm others and yourself.”

Mayer was stunned, realizing that Eric was joking,

He immediately covered his mouth and laughed.

Eric looked at the beautiful appearance of Mayer wearing a light gray professional suit covering his mouth and smiling, and said, “If you are interested in this story, you can go and read the original novel by Chuck Palahniuk, that is A story of a modern man struggling and resisting in confusion until it collapses. As for the script, I don’t think Fincher himself has figured out what he wants to express, so if it’s not handled properly, this project will definitely turn into a disaster.”

Mayer listened carefully and asked, “So are you going to approve this project?”

“Of course,” Eric nodded and said, “This is actually a very interesting script, as long as we can put more effort into the distribution and marketing stages in the future, this movie will definitely become a masterpiece in the hearts of a group of cult fans. .”

In the past, the experience of “Fight Club” was almost exactly the same as that of “Journey to the West”. It was a box office failure at the release stage, but with the continuous deconstruction of subsequent fans, it gradually became a classic.

Now, the budget given by New Line is $50 million, and Eric feels that this is probably not enough, because as he just said, Finch himself may not have a deep grasp of what he wants to shoot, so He is likely to get lost during the filming phase and cause the project to overrun.

Eric also doesn’t plan to let New Line miss the movie, though.

Firefly Group has enough blockbuster commercial films, and it is necessary to produce a batch of unique films to supplement the company’s film library, otherwise Firefly Group will definitely gradually turn into a boring business machine.

In recent years, in addition to mainstream commercial films, Firefly’s label has been cooperating with such personality directors as David Fincher and Quentin Tarantino.

As far as “Fight Club” is concerned, although the risk is a bit high, as long as the new line can formulate a special marketing plan, so that the audience can understand the movie in advance, or at least not understand it. of people think this is a very good movie, so it is still very easy for the movie to achieve commercial success.

After chatting for a while, to resolve the embarrassment that he had just been in a daze, Mayer turned and left the study.

Eric continued to focus on the script for Fight Club.

In all fairness, Eric himself doesn’t really understand the movie too much, but there are still many classic lines in the movie that are worth pondering carefully.

After reading the script carefully, Eric opened the laptop next to him and drew up an email based on his own thoughts on the film, which was temporarily stored in the draft box and sent to Kenneth Howe of New Line after arriving in London. Well, and then picked up another document on the desktop.

After having a dinner on the plane, Eric rested for a few hours, woke up again, and the Boeing 767 had reached the sky over London.

The west coast of the United States left Ventura Airport at one o’clock in the afternoon. After a ten-hour flight, including the time difference, it was already seven in the morning on November 11 in London.

There was no emotion for this once very interesting day. Eric just got off the plane at London Heathrow Airport, and was taken to Victoria’s Secret tomorrow by Emily, Edward Lazek and others who came to pick up the plane. The show was held at the Earls Court Exhibition and Convention Centre in London’s West End.

Compared with the Lexington Avenue Arsenal in Manhattan, the Earls Court Convention and Exhibition Center, which covers an area of more than 40,000 square meters, is extraordinary.

Eric and his party rushed to the destination and saw that the gate of the Earl’s Palace was covered with huge posters of the Victoria’s Secret brand. There were also many media reporters with cameras on the surrounding roads. Several of the cars were about to enter the Earl’s Palace, and they surrounded them one after another, but they couldn’t get a glimpse of the identity of the people in the car.

After getting off the car in the internal parking lot, Eric put his hands into the pockets of the windbreaker he had just put on subconsciously, looked at the gloomy sky in London as always, and said to Emily next to him: “I said, shouldn’t you at least let me Have breakfast or something?”

Emily raised her wrist and tapped her watch, dissatisfied: “If I remember correctly, you should have arrived in London around five o’clock in the morning. Do you know how long everyone has been waiting for you at Heathrow Airport?”

Eric was a little embarrassed and said, “This, I’m really sorry, I changed the plane temporarily, so it was delayed for a few hours.”

“Then why didn’t you let us know,” Emily complained again, but she didn’t chase Eric, feeling that she had taken the initiative, so she said, “Let’s go, help us see this. How’s the preparation going?”

This Victoria’s Secret show is a bit like a farewell concert.

Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelinsta and other veteran angels will withdraw from the Victoria’s Secret endorsement team after this show, and the original five-member group will only have Diane Kruger Stay with Tyra Banks, and the new contract they signed with Victoria’s Secret is only 3 years old. Diane Kruger intends to develop more deeply in Hollywood, and Tyra Banks intends to Enter the TV world.

At the same time, the Angel Legion of about 40 people will continue to change blood in the past two years.

Although Cindy, Linda and others are still very likely to occasionally return to the Victoria’s Secret runway to make a cameo or two in the future, however, in order to gain more attention, ltd did not disclose this in publicity, but implied that this It may be the last Victoria’s Secret show for a group of highly popular veteran supermodels. This move has indeed played a big role. It is said that some loyal fans of the Victoria’s Secret Legion also flew over from North America to watch the show. .

Since the venue of Earl’s Palace is much larger than the Lexington Avenue Arsenal, ltd released a full 6,000 tickets this time, which is the largest since the opening of the Victoria’s Secret show.

With the strong expansion of the Victoria’s Secret brand, ltd is paying more and more attention to the holding of the Victoria’s Secret show.

In addition to focusing on the promotion of the Victoria’s Secret team, the lineup of performers this time is also unprecedentedly strong.

In addition to Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys and Madonna, ltd also successfully invited Michael Jackson this time. Over the years, Michael Jackson has also stepped out of the haze of the rape case and successfully returned to the style of the emperor.

However, after mastering the operation mode of the Victoria’s Secret show for several consecutive years, ltd did not continue to spend money to invite well-known directors to perform the Victoria’s Secret show. Instead, high-level executives such as Edward Razek acted as producers and personally controlled the entire show. The operation of the show.

Although it was already late at night in Los Angeles, but after resting for a few hours on the plane, and being at an energetic age, Eric was pulled by Emily to watch the show arrangement all morning, but he didn’t feel it. exhausted.

It was not until noon that a group of people left the internal show of Earl’s Palace and came to the nh hotel in Kensington, where the Legion of Angels stayed nearby.

Speaking of which, the Earl’s Palace Convention and Exhibition Center is also located in the West End of London, less than two kilometers away from Kensington Garden Street. Eric can still easily travel between the Kensington Garden Street Villa and the Convention and Exhibition Center these two days.

It happened to be lunch time, and when we came to the nh hotel, the group entered the hotel restaurant directly.

Tomorrow is the Victoria’s Secret show. Although some of the Victoria’s Secret angels go shopping, most of them stay in the hotel, which also makes the hotel restaurant at lunchtime a gathering place for high-value beauties.

Seeing Eric’s appearance, all the Victoria’s Secret Angels who were dining in the restaurant got up and gathered around enthusiastically.

After hugging a large group of stunners one by one, the angels also dispersed consciously. Only Cindy, Linda, and Giselle, who participated in the Victoria’s Secret show for the first time this year, stayed. Everyone knows that although Victoria’s Secret There are many girls in the legion who have a close relationship with Eric, but only the three of them have the closest relationship with Eric.

As for Alexander and Miranda, instead of coming to London this time, they stayed in New York together.

Mayer rushed to Kensington Garden Street ahead of time to help Eric prepare a place to live. He was not around. Some other high-level executives of ltd also flashed people very intelligently at this time. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com looked for other places to sit down Only Emily and Eric sat down at a round dining table with the other three girls.

After sitting down in the chair, Eric looked at Giselle opposite and asked with a smile, “So, how do you feel now?”

The two positions beside Eric were naturally occupied by Cindy and Linda. Gisele felt a little bit of a snack in her heart, but she still said, “Great, everyone takes good care of me.”

Cindy took the menu from the waiting waiter and handed it to Eric, saying, “Giselle’s tablecloth is really good, I feel a little inferior. Oh, Eric, you can try it here. The steak was very good.”

“Then you can order one for me,” Eric smiled and handed the menu to Cindy, “If it doesn’t taste good, I’ll ask you for it.”

“Haha,” Cindy lowered her voice with a smile, and didn’t mind that many pairs of eyes around her had been paying attention to this side, and put her close to Eric’s ear: “If it doesn’t taste good, you can eat me. ”

The fragrant wind lingered between the nostrils, and Eric couldn’t help but lean over, deliberately whispering in a weird tone: “Actually, women’s meat is not delicious at all, there is too much fat, I prefer men, and little boys are the best. Good, very tender.”

Cindy seemed to be frightened by Eric’s words and fought a little cold war, and subconsciously avoided a little, knowing that Eric was joking with himself, rolled him a glance, and casually reported to the waiter beside him. A menu came up.
