I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 179
[Chapter 174 Windfall]
“A small matter?” Eric dragged the girl to his lap and pinched the baby’s face gently: “Did I cause some trouble?”
“How could it be that I wouldn’t cause trouble! Drew immediately denied: “It’s like this, in order to buy the copyright of this movie, I found an agent.”
“Oh,” Eric immediately understood: “You promised to give the other party benefits, I have no ability to fulfill it, and this benefit must be related to me, right?”
“Eric, you are so smart!” The girl shrank in Eric’s arms and raised her face with admiration.
“Okay, stop pretending, and explain honestly!” Eric couldn’t help knocking on the door of Ya’s head, which caused another struggle and protest.
“Actually, it’s nothing,” Xiao Nizi gave Eric a dose of vaccination before she said, “When I was looking for an agent, a guy named Lawrence Bender happened to be taking his friends at a party. Come up to me, hold a script, and say that they want me to pass it on to you, they want you to invest.”
“They can’t contact me, it’s nothing to find you, which is very understandable. But why would the other party think Looking for me to invest, there are so many film companies, the other party’s first choice should be the seven major film companies, even if it is not the seven major film companies, other second- and third-tier film companies should be the first choice?”
Drew said with a smile around Eric’s neck. : “Because you are rich, the newspapers are now full of news that you have received hundreds of millions of dollars in share.”
Eric shrugged: “You should know that the share of “Home Alone” is running out. Even if you get the share of “Fengyue”, if you want to acquire a film company to establish a distribution channel, it will definitely be spent soon. After you get the share of “Dark War”, you can’t spend it any more. 35% income tax, after all that, I don’t actually have much cash anymore, oh, I just found out that from last year to now, I’ve been busy all the time and I haven’t saved any money.
” He patted on the shoulder: “Don’t worry, Mr. Billionaire, if you have no money, I will support you.”
“If only a woman told me this in my last life,” Eric sighed with a smile: “Okay, let’s move on to your topic, what’s that guy’s name?”
“Lawrence Bender, the reason why he I want to ask you to invest, I think it is because they are both too young, even if the script is good, those film companies will not rest assured that the film will be produced by him and his friends. After all, as long as it is a formal film, no matter how small The investment should be in the millions of dollars. So, you understand.”
“Then you agreed, and let him be your agent… Is he capable of being your agent?” Eric said again A question comes to mind.
“That guy is very smart. He also started a film company with his friend. You know, it’s the kind of shell company that pays a registration fee to apply for nothing. There are many film companies like Hollywood. But the year before last He also made a very low-cost film, and he was the producer himself, and that friend was the director and screenwriter, but after the production was finished, because of a fire, the negatives were burned and a lot of money was lost.”
“What a pity, Lawrence Bender… um, wait, Lawrence Bender?” Eric suddenly raised his voice.
“Huh?” Drew nodded, not knowing why.
Eric put the girl down from his knees and pointed to the coffee table: “Will you spell his name for me?”
Although Drew was a little confused,
he obediently walked to the coffee table, reached out and dipped some water in the tea cup, After thinking about it for a while, she hesitated to write two words on the coffee table: “Should… it should be spelled like this?” After writing, Xiao Nizi turned her head and asked Eric uncertainly.
Eric covered his forehead, replaced the subtitle O in ‘Laorence’ with W to become ‘Lawrence’, and knocked on the head of the cute girl at the same time: “I really want to know that you do everything in school. What’s wrong, you can’t spell such a simple name, oh, by the way, I paid such a large amount of sponsorship to send you to a boarding school, and I have never seen your transcript, I’ll take a look next time Look.”
“Hey, don’t you need this?” The girl grinned with a small mouth and supported the table top with her small hands, as if she was ready to escape at any time.
Eric didn’t pursue it any further. Looking at the name on the coffee table, it completely matched the name of the person in his memory. The reason why Eric didn’t reflect when Drew just mentioned it was mainly because he read English names in his previous life. It is usually translated into Chinese pronunciation, and Drew’s accent is completely different from the English that Eric learned in his previous life. Eric didn’t think of the name in his memory for a while.
“Drew, what’s the name of that friend of Lawrence Bender?” Eric asked again.
The girl scratched her head, tilted her head and thought for a while: “It seems like… maybe… what is it called Quentin Tarantino,” Drew asked when he saw Eric’s expression changed obviously. : “Eric, don’t you know them?”
Eric calmed down and didn’t let the girl see more abnormalities, and quickly thought of an excuse, nodded and admitted: “I heard, I Let’s just say that when you just said your name, there was a feeling of deja vu, as if you were chatting with people, and you listened to it as a funny thing. It was these two unlucky bastards who made a movie together, and the filming was completed. The negatives were burned.”
Eric didn’t mention who he was chatting with, and what he said was vague, so the girl went back to find someone to verify, but Drew obviously didn’t doubt anything, and he believed it after hearing Eric’s explanation.
“So, you’re saying they want me to invest in their film and leave you the script?” Eric asked.
Drew shook his head: “No, I didn’t want it. I wanted to tell you about this first. If you don’t agree, I’ll just send them off.
” We will definitely expand the production business in the future. Although they are still two little people, it will definitely have a little impact if you spread the matter about you dealing with them.” Eric sat back on the sofa again, thinking about it. Want to say: “Just tomorrow, tomorrow at noon, you take them to the set of “Friends”, there is an hour lunch break between noon filming, let them bring the script, and I will take a look.”
“Eric, isn’t this too much trouble, what are you doing with them, I think it’s a waste of time, that… Kun… Quentin Tarantino is only in his twenties, what good script can he write? , Which of the famous Hollywood screenwriters is not in their thirties or forties? I can’t do it. I’ll ask you to read the script. There’s no need to see them, right?”
Eric smiled: “Did you forget, I also Not yet twenty years old?”
“Hehe, I think you are at least forty years old,” the girl said as she moved closer to Eric.
This intuition… is too accurate!
Eric touched Xiao Nizi’s hair, but he was relieved quickly. With such a shrewd temper of the girl, he got along day and night, and it’s not surprising to find this problem of his mental age. In fact, many people have discovered it.
“Okay, that’s it. Bring them over tomorrow, but don’t be late. You know, I’m very busy.
” On Ke: “That, Eric, I’ve finished this matter, is there any reward?”
Eric patted the girl’s back: “Yes, I helped you become a film company, but you still I’m not an adult, so I put it under my name for the time being, and I will transfer it to you when you are eighteen years old. As for the copyright of “Jinyumeng” that I bought, I will put it under the name of this company.”
“Wow, tell me quickly .
, what’s your name?” The girl asked excitedly with bright eyes.
“Flower-Films.” The
girl was stunned for a moment, and then she said with a small mouth: “Flower-Films… such a rustic name, is it possible to change it?”
Rustic?
Eric stared at the girl’s baby face, this is the name you gave yourself in the previous life: “How can you be rustic, let me hear it?”
Drew put his head on Eric’s chest, and after thinking for a while, he became a little depressed. Looking up, Xiao Nizi obviously has no talent for naming names: “Then… let’s start with Huahua Pictures.”
Eric smiled and rubbed the girl’s head: “Okay, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com It’s so late, go to bed.” The
girl grabbed Eric’s arm to stop him from standing up: “No no no, Don’t worry, Eric, there’s still a month left for the summer vacation, can you make it happen sooner? For example, what movie rights to acquire?”
“Well… let me think about it, I’ll make a list for you tomorrow, now Go to bed early,” Eric said.
“Don’t perfunctory me, I will do it tomorrow!” The girl insisted.
“No problem, I’ll definitely give it to you tomorrow.” Eric got up and walked to the stairs. Instead of going directly to the bedroom, he walked into the study and saw the girl following, Eric said, “Don’t disturb me. I am, you go to bed first, you always stay up late, be careful you will become ugly before the age of 30.”
“Humph!” The girl frowned and turned to the bedroom unwillingly.
Eric was at the lower left of the desk, found a notebook and spread it out in front of him, picked up a pen, remembered what had just happened, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He never thought that Quentin Tarantino, who was known as a ‘ghost’ director in his previous life, would take the initiative to join him. come up.
Although Lawrence Bender is not as famous as Quentin, the two are actually old partners. A series of Quentin movies are produced by Lawrence Bender.
However, since two guys who should have become famous two years later came together because of their butterfly effect, I wonder if the famous “Reservoir Dogs” and “Pulp Fiction” in their previous lives will still appear. After all, the butterfly effect The influence of the film is really big, maybe it’s just a thought, and Quentin missed the idea of creating these two films.
At the same time, Eric is also very curious about what script Quentin will come up with tomorrow.
