I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 298
[Chapter 294 What a coincidence]
What’s more, in the contract signed by Disney and Bruce Joy Robin, there is also the clause that Eric must be the director of the film himself, if the designated directors can get the With a plan he was satisfied with, Michael Eisner did not mind the breach of contract and forced Disney’s director to take over the script, but it backfired, so Michael Eisner decisively made today’s decision.
After all, if Disney forced its own production, the final results were mediocre. It would be better to hand over the script to Eric for production. After all, Eric still has a very strong box office guarantee.
After sitting in the study for a long time, Michael Eisner took down the plan documents in the folder and threw them into the trash can next to him before getting up and leaving the door.
… In mid-March, after more than a month of investigation, the Federal Trade Investigation Commission announced the results of its handling of the suspected industry monopoly of Firefly and uta, because it lost several The push behind the big companies, coupled with a series of pressure from public opinion, the Federal Trade Investigation Commission did not impose a heavy punishment on Eric.
In addition to requiring Eric to sell all the shares in uta in his hand, it is a very symbolic fine of $1 million.
After the results were released, Eric did not raise any objection, paid a fine of 10 million US dollars, and then sold 90% of uta’s shares to Hollywood three for US $ 30 million One of the big brokerage firms.
Almost at the same time, Sony Pictures and Firefly also reached a settlement on the project sharing of “Dark War”.
A week later, Sony divided the more than 88 million US dollars of “Dark War” into all settlements.
As for the other three lawsuits against Eric, in addition to the withdrawal of the lawsuits by the prosecutors of the two lawsuits, the other lawsuit about the Malibu Sharp Corner Lot was also dismissed due to insufficient evidence as the investigation progressed. .
Firefly and Fox’s TV series “The X-Files” also began the filming process.
Another program, “Who Will Be a Millionaire”, has been promoted with great momentum since the beginning of March, although some people in charge of this program suggested it.
In the first episode of the show, some celebrities could be invited as answering guests, but this proposal was directly rejected by Eric.
Inviting stars can certainly attract some eyeballs, but in that case, it will also make the show lose its sense of authenticity.
After all, the selling point of this show is that grassroots get rich overnight. Therefore, the show team still adopts the method of national audition, and has set up registration points all over North America.
Next, Disney announced soon.
Will cooperate with Firefly to release Eric Williams’ new film “The Ghost Story”.
So far, the more than two-month-long turmoil against Eric and against Fireflies that began on the first day of the new year has completely vanished.
After a series of awards season prelude awards, on March 26, 1990, the 62nd Academy Awards ceremony was held at the Los Angeles Music Center.
Eric fastened the buttons of his dress, and just got out of the courtesy car, there were enthusiastic shouts on both sides of the red carpet, and Eric could faintly hear someone singing the song hoarsely “new-“.
Smiling and waving to the crowd all the way, Eric didn’t stop by himself.
All the way to the red carpet shot, the reporters in the interview area were of course extremely disappointed, and.
What disappointed them even more was that Eric still didn’t bring any female companions today, which reduced a lot of topics.
After all, although Eric is still very young now, his status and wealth are there. Since breaking up with Aniston, who is likely to live in Eric’s Malibu tip The ‘Free City’ of Jiaotong has become the target of many gossip media.
If anyone could snoop on this kind of news, it would be a good deal now.
As we approach the end of the red carpet.
Eric was stopped by the TV host in charge of the Oscar broadcast, and politely invited Eric to the interview area.
“Mr. Williams. Hello, my second time on the Oscars red carpet. Does it feel any different?”
Eric smiled and said: “Of course, the fans have become more enthusiastic, and I would like to thank everyone for their support during this period.” The hostess heard what Eric was referring to and did not continue. After all, in the turmoil some time ago, it was not clear: “Then Mr. Williams, tell me your expectations for tonight’s awards, you not only Nominated for Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay, and an unexpected nomination for Best Score.”
Hearing this question, Eric approached the microphone and repeated the cliché that everyone would say, such as whether the judges like it or not, and then Eric patiently answered a few questions before the host. Reluctantly let him go.
As soon as he walked to the waiting area, Eric felt countless eyes cast on him.
Eric smiled at everyone without focus, and then walked towards several film crews related to Firefly.
The men in the crew were all okay, Jonathan Demme, Al Pacino, Tom Hanks and others all came to say hello enthusiastically, but the women were a little reserved, After all, this place can still be photographed by the media.
Eric greeted several big men before looking at the women.
Virginia stood quietly at the edge of the crowd, with a faint smile on her face, a look of indifference to the world.
Nicole looked eager to try, but she guessed what it was, so she stood there and did nothing, just looked at Eric with some emotions in her eyes.
As for Julia, she was holding Elizabeth intimately at this time, and the two girls looked at Eric with inexplicably complicated emotions in their eyes.
After thinking about it, Eric still walked towards Julia and Elizabeth: “Julie, Liz, that… Although it may be a little late, I still want to say Sorry.” &
nbsp; Hearing Eric’s words, Julia took Elizabeth’s arm a little tighter and shrank back. Elizabeth stepped forward like a little hen protecting her children, and said in a low voice : “Mr. Williams, there’s no need to apologize. I just hope that you can stay away from us in the future. Julia and I are very grateful.” Eric couldn’t help but raised his hand and touched his nose with his index finger. Looking at the current appearance of the two girls, he always felt a little strange, but he didn’t know where the blame was.
But he can be sure that his feeling is absolutely right: “By the way, Liz, why are you here?” Eric asked again without a word.
“Hmph, of course I have my own way,” Elizabeth said, dragging Julia, who had not spoken, and walked straight away.
Others thought that Eric had shrunk in front of the two girls, and they all showed a mocking look. Eric shrugged nonchalantly and said hello to Nicole. His eyes came to Virginia’s side.
“Vicky, I’m sorry, I couldn’t go to the premiere of “Reservoir Dogs” at the beginning of the month.” Walking to the girl, Eric said affectionately with a little apologetic tone. Quentin’s maiden work, because of Eric’s support, this version of “Reservoir Dogs” is not only not like the previous life, but it is not popular in North America because there is not much publicity.
This version of “Reservoir Dogs” not only won the Special Jury Award at the Sundance Film Festival in January because of its unique narrative style, but also had 500 opening screens in North America and held a small At the small premiere, because of her brother’s role in it, Virginia went to join in and invited Eric casually. However, although the storm was coming to an end, Eric still couldn’t tell the difference. Energy to attend the premiere of Reservoir Dogs.
After the promotion of Firefly, the box office of “Reservoir Dogs” reached more than 6 million in the first week. Quentin Tarantino also jumped into the front line because the weekly box office of the film exceeded 10,000 US dollars. The director’s ranks are currently pondering their next script. Of course, the investor is still Firefly, but Eric doesn’t know if Quentin can write “Pulp Fiction” again.
After all, because of Eric’s butterfly effect, although “Reservoir Dogs” was not fanned away by the ‘butterfly’ wings, “Pulp Fiction” hangs a lot.
Eric also made up his mind to talk to Quentin when he had time. If Quentin didn’t have this idea, he would come up with the script himself.
“It’s okay, I regret it later, you must have a lot of things to do, how can you take time to attend the premiere. By the way, Eric, my brother asked me to replace He thanked you,” Virginia said softly.
Eric smiled, thinking that Michael Madsen would definitely not say such a thing, 80% of which was the girl’s own intention.
He has also paid attention to the situation of “Reservoir Dogs” during this period of time. After the release of “Reservoir Dogs”, Michael Madsen, for the promotion of the film, was interviewed by the crew on a talk show, and expressed that he really didn’t want to work with Quentin anymore, and he also In front of several other creators, he called Quentin Tarantino a bastard on the spot. When filming the scene of killing the kidnapped police officer, because of some lines, Michael Madsen thought of his newborn child, almost collapse.
However, UU reading www.sonicmtl.
com Quentin also said on the spot that he likes the evaluation of a bastard very much, and no one knows whether it is a joke or not.
Because there were too many people, Eric couldn’t make any intimacy. After chatting with Virginia for a while, everyone started to enter the Los Angeles Concert Hall.
“What a coincidence, we sat together last time,” Eric said after entering the concert hall and finding a seat, looking at Virginia beside him.
