I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 171

[Chapter 167 Hi]

Although the two had an intimate relationship, Nicole did not stay in Eric’s mansion for another day, and moved into the apartment that Eric asked to find for her that day.

Time enters August, for a film that has been released in the fourth week, the box office data of “Dark War” of more than 26 million US dollars can be said to be still strong, and the total box office has also exceeded 150 million US dollars, although it can be released in the next release. It takes a lot of luck to surpass “Batman” in time, but there is no suspense that the film’s total North American box office exceeded 200 million.

Moreover, “Dark War” is more popular in overseas markets than in North America. Although the release time of most overseas countries is later than that of North America, there are even many countries that have not released it, but in the countries where it has been released , “Dark War” won 12 first-week box office champions in one go. Under this circumstance, it is certain that the overseas box office of “Dark War” must be much higher than the domestic box office.

Although Colombia originally invested in this film with the aim of not making profits and just pushing up the stock price, the fact is that the other party can not only recover the cost, but also make a fortune just by virtue of the box office, and the next video tape revenue Colombia is also destined to be. Take the big bucks. Although the videotape has a long recovery cycle, in the next few years, this part of the proceeds can also bring hundreds of millions of dollars in profits to Columbia Pictures.

For Eric, the project of “Dark War” is already in the past tense, and he just needs to wait and divide it.

According to Hollywood practice, such a popular movie “Dark War” must be repeatedly shot for sequels.

But for the sake of safety, Eric does not plan to participate in the production of the sequel. The classic of the first part is difficult to be surpassed, and the sequel of the previous life “Dark War” does not have many highlights.

If the script for the future sequel is good, Eric only intends to let Firefly participate in part of the investment.

If the Japanese can offer a good price, Eric can even sell the half of the copyright of “Dark War” belonging to Firefly to the other party.

After all, without Cruise, without Eric, and with Hanks alone, it would be difficult for the sequel to “Dark War” to create the brilliance of the first one. The cost of the second part will definitely increase greatly in the future, so it will not be too easy to make money.

In the past of the “Dark War” project, Eric also started the intense work in the second half of the year. First of all, he needed to shoot the first two episodes of “Friends”. For this reason, Fox has already played this gimmick out, because “Dark War” in “Dark War” Because of the implantation of the “Friends” lens, the public is also looking forward to this TV series.

The other is “Sleepless in Seattle”, which is the penultimate film of this year, and it is actually the last film Eric made with all his heart.

Although Fox attaches great importance to “Home Alone”, this film does not consume much energy of Eric, not to mention that he also intends to use the second script of his previous life, which makes it easier to shoot.

Although “Sleepless in Seattle” is only in the early stages of preparations, the publicity work in the early stage has already started, and the news of the main actors has been revealed soon. When the names of the male and female main actors have been decided, many Hollywood people want to talk to Ai Rui. The actors who co-operated with him were disappointed. Tom Hanks was not questioned much as the male lead, but Nicole, who appeared out of nowhere, became the target of the media.

With the announcement of the starring information, Nicole’s profile was ripped off by powerful paparazzi in just a few days.

The Australian actress, who has won performance awards, debuted at the age of 16, and has no acting experience in Hollywood…

When these information were revealed, the girl quickly became the focus of a wave of controversy.

The fact that Hollywood looks down on foreign actors also seems to be spreading to the media.

Therefore,

except for the promotional adverts arranged by UTA for the girl, Nicole basically did not receive a few words of approval, and it was almost one-sided criticism. Most of the media felt that Nicole was not worthy of the heroine of Eric’s new film.

From the title of “Sleepless in Seattle”, the media also speculated that Eric is likely to return to a romantic comedy like “Pretty Woman”.

As a result, the Hollywood media ignored Nicole’s current image, and instead took great interest in picking up Nicole’s rustic image in those Australian movies and TV shows, criticizing the girl for nothing.

Of course, this kind of criticism will also be countered. The most intense is the Australian media. Although Eric has only a few works and has not been on the rise for a long time, he has accumulated a very big reputation in Australia, no less than Those big directors who have been famous for many years, so the Australian media are proud that their country’s actresses can participate in Eric’s new film, and they have also responded a lot to the criticism of Nicole by the American media.

But Nicole, who was at the center of the turmoil, didn’t feel any pressure at all. She understood that the more riotous the media, the more fame it brought her.

On August 2, in a huge soundstage on Fox’s set, “Friends” started silently.

Among the six leading actors, only Aniston is famous. The other young people used to be unknown characters. Eric chose them. Because these people are very similar to the images of the leading actors of “Friends” in memory.

In addition, as newcomers, these actors are also poorly paid, only $5,000 per episode.

Eric originally wanted to secretly give Aniston a higher price. The salary information is kept secret. As long as he doesn’t say it, he will not be known by the other members, and even if he is known by the other five, the other party will definitely not. What to say, Aniston is not only more famous than them, but also the producer’s daughter, the director’s girlfriend, they really compare themselves to Aniston.

But Eric’s kind proposal was rejected righteously by Xiaoyi Niu, and he received a newcomer salary of $5,000 per episode just like everyone else.

Eric couldn’t beat the stubborn little girl, so he had to reveal the news, and it was no surprise that he received good results.

Like the previous life, Xiaoyi Niu quickly got along with the other five leading actors and became real good friends.

This result is very beneficial to the shooting of “Friends”. After all, if you become real friends in reality, there will definitely be more tacit understanding during the shooting process.

“Everyone is ready, “Friends” Act 1 Scene 5, Action!”

Following the voice of the scene, several leading actors in the Central Park Cafe began to chat.

The scene is that Ross divorced his wife Lei Sibian, and appeared in the cafe with an umbrella in his hand.

In the original version, Ross Geller, played by David Hume, made many audiences ‘amazing’ when he first appeared on the stage. It was just a simple word of ‘hi’, which made the audience instantly remember this wide dress. A lanky figure in a coat.
