I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 280
[Chapter 275 Urges]
? Cooperation?
Hearing this question, Eric thought for a while, and shook his head. Although he had another soul in his heart, he didn’t feel any obligation to help Hong Kong movies break into Hollywood.
And there are not many examples of successful cooperation between Hollywood and Hong Kong movies. There is only one “Rush Hour” series in my memory that can be taken out, but this movie is obviously not suitable to take out now. Jack Cheng has gone through several movies in his previous life. Foreshadowing, the “Rush Hour” series was launched only after Hollywood became famous, and luckily, it just hit the appetite of Westerners, and it was a great success.
Now, although Jack Cheng is flourishing in Asia, he is not well-known in Hollywood. If he is invited to star in “Rush Hour”, it is not much different to find a Chinese Hollywood action actor, but the other party’s remuneration converted into US dollars is on the same level as Hollywood. The stars are almost the same.
“Mr. Zou, I don’t think it’s a good time to cooperate. I also know a little about the history of your film company. Jiahe’s leading star, Jie & Wu & Wrong & Novel {www}.{quledu}.{}K. Cheng In the early 1980s, he tried to enter Hollywood, but he failed several times. I think he will no longer easily abandon his position and career in Hong Kong, and rush to Hollywood, right?”
Mr. Zou thought about Eric There is a look of disappointment and helplessness in his eyes. Eric is indeed right. Hong Kong movies are now in a period of explosion. Jack Cheng has learned from previous failures, and it is impossible to easily agree to come to Hollywood for development.
And apart from Jack Cheng, he couldn’t cast any other actors. After all, they could arouse Hollywood’s interest.
Only Chinese Kung Fu.
Even this time, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”.
In fact, it’s all under the guise of some kung fu.
The four ninja turtles in the movie are all played by Hong Kong martial artists.
“It’s really a pity,” Mr. Zou said, shaking his head. Although he still had some ideas of investing in Eric’s films, the young man in front of him was the director of some of the top-grossing films in Hollywood this year, and he wanted to invest in his films in Hollywood. Countless, it is impossible for an outsider like Golden Harvest to participate in and get a piece of the pie.
After eating the food in front of him, Eric said goodbye to Mr. Zou before getting up and leaving.
Just a few steps away.
A tall and slender woman in a black dress walked towards Eric with a glass of red wine, looking like it was the same old way.
It’s really not creative, Eric smiled helplessly, turned slightly sideways, quickly reached out to hold the girl’s wrist, took the red wine in the other’s hand with the other hand, and raised it to the woman with a red face: ” This lady, thank you for your red wine.” The
girl saw that her intentions were seen through, although she was a little embarrassed, she immediately seized the opportunity and said, “No… You’re welcome. Mr. Williams, my name is…” The
girl was about to Introduce yourself.
Eric put a finger on the girl’s red lips, looked directly at the girl’s slightly widened eyes, and
said, “This lady, I once heard a very philosophical saying, called ‘Why do you know each other when you meet?’, So don’t say your name, okay?”
When Eric retracted his finger, the girl nodded: “That… well, Mr. Williams, do you have the honor to dance with you?”.
Eric shook his head: “Sorry, miss.” The
girl didn’t dare to be too entangled, she turned and walked away, Eric was about to leave, a slightly teasing voice sounded in her ear: “Why do you know each other when you meet? Eric, why did you leave me in the office when we met for the first time?”
“Because we are ‘destined to meet each other’,” Eric turned around and looked at him with a smile. Next to Nicole, the girl at this time had a cold and glamorous appearance, and there was no embarrassment in the study at all.
Seeing Eric glance at his face, Nicole glared at Eric, and said in a low voice: “Next time you don’t… don’t let me do that again.”
Eric shrugged unconcernedly .
, said: “As you wish, Nicole, you must know that I am a very compassionate person, and I will never force a woman to do anything.”
Nicole bit her lower lip angrily, remembering that in the study, Eric tightly held his face to prevent her from dodging, and almost couldn’t help throwing the red wine in his hand on Eric’s face.
“You are so shameless.”
“I like women to praise me like this the most,” Eric laughed and said, “Miss Kidman, can I dance with you?”.
Nicole hesitated for a while, but still handed the little hand to Eric. When the man pulled her to the dance floor, Nicole couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you reject the ‘nameless’ lady? It’s not like you Her
character.”
“Because I don’t like her eyebrows, do you accept this reason?”.
On the dance floor, Eric put his arms around the girl’s waist and said so.
Nicole followed the man’s strength to get her body close to Eric, and retorted: “Damn, I think you are worried about Jenny being here.”
“Then you, if you are so close, you are not afraid that Jenny will see it. Any associations?”.
“Of course not, because Jenny went outside.” Even so, Nicole couldn’t help but look around.
Seeing Nicole’s reaction, Eric said with a wicked smile: “Nicole, do you think our conversation is very similar to an adulterer and a prostitute?”
“You are really nasty.”
“Hey, you are again .
Start complimenting me, this is not good, men are not praised very much, how about we go to my study again?”
Nicole put her red lips close to Eric’s ear and threatened: “As long as you are not afraid Being seen, I have no opinion at all, but if it is exposed, I will blatantly grab a man with Jenny.”
“Wow, that’s fine,” Eric seemed to think of something terrible The matter, pretended to have fought a cold war, and did not mention it again.
The lively and lively party did not end until midnight. Eric used the master bedroom on the top floor, which had a 360-degree view of Malibu without any dead ends. stayed.
The next day, Eric went to watch “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” with Robert Shea and Mr. Zou from Hong Kong in the morning. To be honest, because he has experienced countless special effects blockbusters in his previous life, Eric watched this movie. The “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” with the special effect of ’50 cents’ had the urge to get up and leave several times.
Because he already knew the box office results, it would be too easy to find the merits of this movie in turn. Therefore, after watching it, Eric still endured the discomfort in his heart and praised the movie fiercely. , allowing Robert to safely release the film.
After all, no one can afford to live with the dollar.
With Eric’s affirmation, Robert Shea confidently set the release date of the film during the Easter period. Although this period is not as good as the summer period, it is quite good.
Besides, the summer season must be reserved for my own movies.
Although the new line of “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” also has some investment, it is still not his own.
After discussing about “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”, Eric had just left the screening room when he saw Allen waiting outside, saw Eric come out, walked up and said, “Eric, Disney President Frank Wells and The president of Fox Television, William Bell, is waiting for you.”
“Did they come together, did they say anything?” Eric asked suspiciously.
Allen shook his head: “I didn’t come together, and I didn’t say anything about looking for you.”
Eric looked at his watch and said, “Let’s go there.” When
he came to his office, Eric saw two The middle-aged man was sitting in the lounge chatting, so he went up to greet him, and wanted to invite the two of them to his office, but Frank Wells and William Bell looked at each other and didn’t want to be together. Meaning, Eric realized that the two people were looking for him for different purposes, looked left and right, and suggested: “Or, Mr. Bell, you can rest here for a while.”
“No problem, Eric, anyway, I There’s nothing to do in the morning.” William Bell smiled and sat back on the sofa.
After walking into the office with Frank Wells, Eric asked the other party’s purpose.
“That’s it, Eric, didn’t you promise Disney the distribution rights of a movie before? Mr. Eisner asked me to discuss this matter and sign the contract by the way, so that Disney can also include the distribution plan in next year. I’m
working on it.”
Eric thought for a while, then said, “Sorry, Mr. Wells, I haven’t decided what film I’m going to shoot next year, so how about after the New Year? Don’t worry, I promise to give The distribution rights of a Disney movie. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com “When
Frank Wells remembered his own, Michael Eisner’s instructions, said: “Eric, in fact, this is also fine, we Can you sign a contract of intent first, you don’t need to provide a specific movie plan, as long as you can make sure you hand over a movie to Disney next year. Like… like those three movie deals you gave to Fox last year , I remember you didn’t discuss with Fox about the content of the other two films besides Home Alone, did you?”.
Eric spread his hands and said, “Frank, you have to know that Firefly is not the small workshop it was a year ago, so I can’t take the liberty to promise you, many things need to be planned. Since you talked about last year’s me As for the contract with Fox, I must be aware of some of the turmoil that occurred during this period, so, when I plan for next year, I promise to sign with Disney.”
Frank Wells said a few more words, seeing Ai Rick didn’t let go, and left in disappointment.
Few people know about the matter discussed by the six in Malibu so far. In order to ensure that the secret is not leaked, except for the six, there are only some people who are directly responsible for the execution.
And Michael Eisner did not tell Frank Wells about this, so Frank Wells also felt that the reason given by Eric was enough to take it back and explain it to Michael Eisner.
