I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 144

[Chapter 141 High Concept Movie]

After a month and a half of intense and intense filming, especially the month of location shooting, the actors were a little better, but dozens of crew members were exhausted.

Therefore, the celebration carnival after closing the mirror also became extraordinarily unrestrained due to the sudden relaxation of the long-term pressure. The party hall was full of noise, and there would be a few high-pitched ghost screams from time to time.

Eric just laughed at this situation. After all, everyone had been suppressed for a month, and some of the gaffes are understandable.

Most of the actors of “Dark War” received party invitations, and several leading actors also came to the party scene.

However, after seeing the chaotic scene, Cruise, who held his identity, only stayed for less than 20 minutes and left. Although he came from the bottom, Cruise has now automatically classified himself as a group of people at the top of the pyramid. Of course it’s impossible to frolic with this group of crew members.

Some older crew members and actors also said their goodbyes and left.

With Eric’s mental age, he really couldn’t enjoy this kind of carnival party, but as the director of “Dark War”, he had to stay.

In the entire hall, Eric is the youngest. Although Eric will act very oppressive when he scolds others on the set, he still looks like a harmless young man in other situations. In addition, the crew members are familiar with Eric’s character and know that he is a person who can make jokes, so it is logical that he became the target of everyone’s teasing.

After being poured a few bottles of beer for various reasons, Eric broke away from the crowd in the name of urinating and walked out of the banquet hall to the bathroom at the end of the corridor. Brooke Xiaosi also came out of the bathroom opposite, and was wiping her hands with a tissue with her head down.

“Hi, Brooke,” Eric greeted with a smile: “Did you have a good time?”

Brooke Shields followed with a sweet smile: “It’s okay, although it’s a bit noisy.” A beautiful woman, Bo Ji Xiaosi has naturally become the object of everyone’s attention, Bo Ji Xiaosi also enjoys this feeling of being sought after, but Eric’s attitude towards her has never been salty or indifferent. .

After seeing Eric saying hello, she turned around and was about to leave. Brooke Shields hurriedly put the tissue in her hand into the trash can, followed in three or two steps, and reached out and pulled Eric.

“Borgy, what’s the matter?” Eric turned around.

Bo Ji Xiaosi hesitated for a moment before saying, “I just, just want to say thank you, Eric, thank you for giving me the role of Yoyo.”

This thank you is not polite at all, Bo Since Ji Xiaosi was revealed to be the heroine of “Dark War”, although many media have talked about her being nominated for the Golden Raspberry Award several times in a row, implying that it is impossible for her to get this role by virtue of her strength. There must be some inside story, but it is an indisputable fact that Bo Ji Xiaosi’s popularity is rising again. The media’s attention to her has increased rapidly. When she goes out, there are paparazzi around her again, which has not happened for many years. , the last time she was intimate with Michael Jackson a few years ago.

More importantly, this attention can bring real financial benefits to her, and during this time, she has received several advertising endorsement invitations.

“It’s nothing, Bo Ji, your performance in “Dark War” is still very good. I believe that after the movie is released, your character image will definitely leave a deep impression on the audience.”

“Then,” Bo Ji Xiao Si heard Eric’s praise, looked at him expectantly, and asked, “Eric, will we have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future?”

“This…” Eric hesitated,

he didn’t Thinking that the girl would ask so bluntly, if she told the truth, she would definitely not cooperate with you again, but Eric would definitely not say this kind of hurtful words: “Borgy, you have to understand that this needs to be appropriate. This is a chance.”

Bo Ji Xiaosi’s expression quickly dimmed, and any man would be a little unbearable when he saw the clear expression, this is simply a goblin.

Eric looked at the girl’s expression, and even felt a faint sense of guilt. After thinking about it, he tried to comfort him: “Borgy, I think you should focus on independent movies next. First choose a few relatively good scripts to hone your acting skills.”

After Brooke Shields started acting in movies at the age of twelve, until she got the role of “Dark War”, she has basically been cruising in the independent film circle for more than ten years, she has long understood that In the circle, if you want to stand out from the independent film circle, the most important thing is to have extraordinary acting skills, and you can win some weighty movie awards with your acting skills, and then you can enter the mainstream movie circle.

But this road will not work for her at all, because she is too beautiful, even if she has a little acting skills, it will be covered up by her face and devilish figure, not to mention that she does not have that kind of acting strength, even if she returns to the independent 丨In the film circle, it is still only possible to play the role of a vase, so there is no future at all.

Of course, Brooke Shields understands that even if she wants to play a vase, she should play a vase in a big-budget movie. Even a supporting role in a big-budget vase will gain more influence than the protagonist in those small-scale productions. .

It’s a pity that although Brooke Shields has some fame, she’s just a pretty star, not enough to arouse the interest of the mainstream Hollywood movie circle. There are so many beautiful and acting actresses in this circle, there are not many. A big-budget movie dared to invite her, a vase nominated for several times by golden raspberry, to take risks. Eric can be regarded as the first director who dared to ‘eat crabs’ in recent years.

“Eric, I know my strength. If I go back to the independent film circle, I will never be able to get ahead. You… Do you have time tomorrow, maybe I can invite you to dinner and express my gratitude.”

“No need, Brooke,” Eric refused, noticing the embarrassed look of the girl, and hurriedly added: “To be honest, after the release of “Dark War”, I believe that with the influence of your role, you will definitely You have received a lot of film appointments. As long as you can choose the script carefully, even if it is a vase role in a few movies, as long as the movie sells well, you will definitely be among the ranks of A-level actresses, so there is no need to pin your hopes on it. On me.”

Brooke Shields was originally very disappointed with Eric’s rejection, but after hearing Eric’s last words, she suddenly became enlightened. Although the girl is not very smart, she can still figure out these things. Yes, if “Dark War” makes herself popular, she really doesn’t have to go back and make any low-budget movies.

“Then, Eric, I still have to thank you,” Brooke Xiaosi thought about this matter, and finally showed a satisfied look, as if the series of lost expressions just now had never appeared on her face.

After the girl finished speaking, her beautiful eyes blinked twice, and she suddenly stepped forward to support Eric’s shoulder and kissed him lightly at the corner of his mouth. Seeing Eric’s stunned expression because of his sudden sneak attack, the girl With a bright smile, he turned and walked towards the banquet hall.

Eric touched the corner of his mouth, shook his head and walked to the banquet hall with a smile.

“Eric, it’s been a long time since I’ve been there, isn’t there a glamorous encounter?” Seeing Eric’s appearance, Tom Hanks came up and handed a glass of champagne to Eric with a mocking expression on his face. Towards Brooke Xiaosnunu who was chatting with someone not far away.

Eric took a sip of the champagne and showed a smile that you understand.

Hanks also showed a wicked smile, and the two looked at each other in disgust for a few times before Hanks closed his expression a little, and he would be misunderstood by the joke: “Eric, you have my next movie. Have you looked, I’m waiting.”

With that, Hanks stretched out five fingers and waved it in front of Eric’s eyes, as if to remind him not to forget the promise of the five movies with a box office of over 100 million, the previous In the agreement, Eric did not count “Dark War” in the five movies.

“The script is already there,” Eric said. “After you complete the dubbing of “Dark War”, you can prepare.”

Hanks is also a workaholic, especially in the past few years. Two or three movies, this is definitely considered diligent in the actor circle. Hearing Eric’s words, Hanks also came to the spirit: “Can you tell me about the plot first?”

“Let’s go over there and talk,” Eric pointed to the sofa in the corner, where a man and a woman just left and walked to the dance floor, Hanks nodded, and the two walked over.

“It’s also a rom-com called Sleepless in Seattle, and it was a script I stumbled upon when I was in New York.”

“Romantic comedy?” Hanks touched his face hesitantly. In the past few years, Hanks was a little handsome, and it was reasonable to appear in a romantic comedy, but after the age of 30, Hanks is now basically The word “handsome” is irrelevant.

“Eric, do you think my image is suitable for this kind of movie?”

“Don’t worry, this is not an ordinary romantic comedy between young men and women,” Eric explained: “You will be in the movie Playing a single father.”

“Single father?”

“Okay, don’t interrupt, Tom, listen to me tell the story well?”

“OK!” Hanks raised his hand.

Eric then said: “The story goes like this, after his wife died unexpectedly, the infatuated Sam couldn’t forget his wife’s presence for a long time, so he decided to leave Chicago, a sad place, with his eight-year-old son Joe. Na moved to Seattle. On Christmas Day a year later, his son Jonah called the emotional hotline called “Sleepless in Seattle” to find a new wife for his father, who was still not out of the shadow of his bereavement. Coincidence Underneath, this emotional call connects the Sam family with a woman named Annie in New York. Although Annie is already engaged, she is so moved by Sam’s infatuation that she can’t help writing a letter to Sam. The letter fell into the hands of Sam’s son Jonah. Jonah felt that Annie was a good match for his father, so he replied to his father’s letter on his own initiative and agreed that the two would meet on the top floor of the Empire State Building in New York on Valentine’s Day.”

“Golden Jade Alliance” ?” After listening to Eric’s narration, Hanks blurted out.

Eric nodded: “There will be a lot of scenes in this movie that will pay homage to “Golden Jade Alliance”.”

“Eric, according to what you said, will the story of this movie be simpler? ?”

Eric smiled and spread his hands: “Tom, I’m just telling you a story. This is a standard high-concept movie. The story is simple and clear, and even some clichés are the main features of high-concept movies. If a movie wants to sell well, it must first have a simple and clear story line, and the rest depends on the strength of the director and actors.”
