[New Imagination Chinese Website], which can be remembered in sb3 seconds, provides you with the latest and most complete novel reading.

In Julia’s villa in Beverly Hills, it was already nine o’clock in the evening. Three women were sitting on the floor next to a long table in the side hall. There were stacks of scripts scattered around. Elizabeth and Drew both While flipping through the pages seriously, only Julia seemed a little lacking in interest, and boredly flipped through the script of a romantic comedy in front of her. After a while, Julia finally lost interest at all, raised her head and asked, “Hey, Can we pick out a good script with such a choice, these should be what the agent does.”

Elizabeth and Drew gave Julia a white look, Drew lowered his head and continued to read the script in front of him, but Elizabeth explained: “Get rid of it, Julie, we are producers now, not actors. And these are recommended by the agents of several brokerage companies. If you don’t want to watch it, watch TV.”

Julia said a little .

He wanted to stand up, looked at the two women, and finally sat on the cushion: “Forget it, I’ll watch it with you, by the way, Liz, didn’t you say that the guy called Jennifer a few days ago Did Connery’s woman pick a comedy? Maybe we can find the screenwriter of that script to write another one.”

Drew looked up at Julia with contempt, and Elizabeth said helplessly again: “That script The screenwriter of the film is also the director of the film. He should already be making a film now, and it is impossible for him to have time to write any script for us. What’s more, even if the other party has time to write it, it may not be a big sale, not every one People are perverted like… that guy.”

“Okay, okay, just treat me as if I didn’t say anything.”

Just as he was talking, the phone next to him suddenly rang.

“I’ll pick it up.” Julia stood up three or two steps to the phone and picked up the receiver: “Hello. This is Roberts’ house…ah…”

Julia heard the other party’s voice.

He immediately covered the microphone, and silently lip-mouthed Elizabeth and Drew who were looking over: “Eric…”

Drew, who was reading the script with a serious face, immediately jumped up, jumped over and grabbed the microphone in Julia’s hand, and shouted: “It must be looking for me.”

Julia let De Lu grabbed the microphone, shrugged his shoulders and returned to his seat, looked at Elizabeth, rubbed his lips at Drun and said in a low voice, “Like a puppy that hears the call of its master.”

Elizabeth also said with a smile: “There’s no medicine to save.”

Who knew that after Drew had said a few words to Eric, he turned his head and shouted in displeasure: “Julia.

I’m looking for you.”

“Ah …” Julia pointed to zìjǐ doubtfully, and when she saw Drew nodded, she reluctantly stood up again and walked over.

“Hey, Eric, what’s the matter with me… Yes, Kapoor said that this role doesn’t have many scenes, so it was easy to film, and the salary from Samsung is also very generous, not to mention the fact that it is with Steven. Spielberg cooperation… so?”

Not knowing what to hear, Julia hesitated for a while.

He also looked at Elizabeth as if asking for help, and then continued: “But what about Kapoor. He really wants me to take this role… I zìjǐ… I… I… Otherwise, I Then…”

Seeing that Julia became stammering, she seemed to hear something embarrassing, and remembering the vile character of that guy, Elizabeth immediately stood up and leaned over, took the microphone from Julia’s hand: “Hey, Erin Ke, what are you trying to force Julia to do, I warned you!”

“…”

“No, why should Julia give up this role, you can’t even think about it!” Elizabeth finished, snapping Immediately hung up the phone.

“Liz, isn’t this inappropriate?” Julia pointed to the hung up phone nervously.

Elizabeth waved her hand and said confidently, “Ignore that guy, Julie, you’re going to sign the contract tomorrow, hum, you really think we’re so easy to bully.”

After Elizabeth finished speaking, she pulled Julia and sat back again. The three continued to read a lot of scripts, but the atmosphere that followed was always a little unnatural.

Drew was nothing. Although she had just been leaning beside Julia, she also heard what Eric said. She remembered that the woman Nicole Kidman called to ask Eric’s whereabouts a few days ago. Lu quickly understood the ins and outs of the matter.

It must be that Julia and Nicole fell in love with the same role. Eric wanted Julia to give up the role to Nicole. Although he was a little jealous, it had nothing to do with her after all.

But the two girls, Julia and Elizabeth, who simply rejected Eric, couldn’t settle down to continue reading the script, and they always looked at the phone on the table next to the sofa from time to time, as if looking forward to the machine again sounded.

Unfortunately, after nearly an hour, Eric didn’t call again.

“Hey, Drew, you’ve been staying with Eric in New York for the last month, haven’t you?” Elizabeth finally lost her breath and asked first.

Drew nodded without raising his head, marked a small star on the script in front of him with a pen and put it aside, while flipping through the other one.

Seeing Drew’s indifferent look, Elizabeth thought that there was a show, and quickly asked, “Then you should know how much money he made?”

Only then did Drew raise his head, and there was a smile on his doll’s face. With a half-smile but not a smile on her face, after seeing Elizabeth a little guilty, the girl popped out a few words: “I don’t know.”

“…” Elizabeth pouted silently: “If you don’t want to say it, don’t say it.”

Drew He smiled, took out a piece of chewing gum from his pocket and chewed it in his mouth, and continued to look down at the script.

“I read the newspaper in the morning, and it said that the price of crude oil futures has risen to 30 dollars now. It was only 14 dollars a few months ago. I heard that many people who speculated in futures have made a lot of money. Eric should be able to get together. Hundreds of millions of dollars, I guess at least double it now,” Julia added bluntly.

“You don’t understand, futures can be enlarged by leverage, ten times, twenty times. The principal can be enlarged ten times or twenty times.” Elizabeth explained in a vague way.

immediately.

The two girls who reacted closed their mouths, stared at each other for a while in surprise, and then looked at Drew again.

“Look at me, I don’t know anything,” Drew repeated.

Elizabeth put her arms around Drew’s small shoulders: “Hey, let me tell you a little, Drew, how much did Eric earn? Julia and I promised not to say it.”

Drew shook off Elizabeth’s shoulders.

It’s still the same sentence: “If you ask a hundred times again, I don’t know, and even if I do, I won’t tell you.”

“Then what have you been doing with Eric for a whole month? Huh?” Elizabeth asked reluctantly.

Drew said honestly: “Play, that’s New York, the rich man’s paradise, there are so many fun places.”

“…”

…

Sharphorn Manor, Eric put down the phone and sat next to him. Nicole said: “Liz grabbed the phone and hung up. I’ll find time to talk to Julia, fǎnzhèng is not in a hurry now.”

Nicole nodded.

She knew that since Eric had promised, he would definitely try his best.

The next day, Eric didn’t go to Julia’s right away, but went to Firefly as usual.

I learned about the company’s operations during this period, and paid attention to the release of the next few movies. It is now mid-August, and “Ghosts” and “Instinct”, which were released in July, are still at the top of the box office list. on.

This summer season has also come to an end. Except for “The Ghost Story”, which has a strong momentum and may break the box office of 200 million US dollars, no other dark horses at the box office have emerged throughout the summer season.

Even “Die Hard 2”, which was evenly matched with “Ghost Love” at the beginning, fell by more than 40% in the second week, and only made more than 20 million US dollars. The total box office reached 200 million to recover the cost. It seems that there is no hope for the blockbuster to return in North America, and Fox can only pin its hopes on overseas markets.

As for “Instinct”, this hot R-rated film released by Universal in late July has already won nearly 70 million US dollars at the box office in four weeks, and there is no doubt that it will break 100 million.

At the same time, the negotiations between Universal’s parent company and Japan’s Panasonic consortium have also settled. Panasonic purchased Universal’s parent company with a huge sum of US$6.1 billion, and another Hollywood movie giant fell into the hands of the Japanese consortium.

However, Eric knew that Panasonic was not able to endure as well as Sony. After several years of acclimatization and huge losses, Panasonic soon transferred Universal to the next family.

After staying in the company for most of the day, Eric did not see Robert Shay. After inquiring, Eric knew that Robert Shay had found another project during this time and was negotiating with the copyright owner. As for the script The specific content of Robert did not reveal his style to his subordinates. Obviously, this was to guard against him, which made Eric feel a little funny.

After reporting some Firefly affairs, Alan then handed a stack of document bags full of script outlines to Eric: “Eric, this is the kind of pirate movie you asked me to look for some time ago, because you The explanation should be kept as secret as possible. I only found 37 books, and here is just a brief outline. If you need a detailed script after reading it, I will contact you again.”

“I understand, you can do things first.”

Allen nodded. Turned around and left the office.

Eric opened a document bag in front of him. Because he had a specific goal, Eric read it very fast. He just glanced at the gùshì outline. If it wasn’t the goal that Zìjǐ was looking for, he would just throw it aside.

Soon, Eric’s eyes focused on a thin script outline. The name of Bruce A. Evans was written on the screenwriter’s column. This name just matched the screenwriter of “Cut Throat Island” in jìyì. I quickly read the script outline, the plot, and the names of the hero and heroine are completely correct, but the name of the script is not called “Cut Throat Island”.

“It looks like this is it,” Eric began to figure out how to operate the script after finding this big pit. Of course, this rotten egg is used to trick people, but he wants to ensure that this big pit can have the greatest effect. , the best qíngkuàng is to gather the lineup of the previous life.

In jìyì, the male and female protagonists of this film are Geena Davis and Matthew Modine respectively, and the director Lenny Harlin is Geena Davis’ husband. Lenny Harlem is ambitious He desperately wanted to make his wife an action actress, but it almost ruined Gina Davis’ acting career. Although he didn’t know the subsequent development, Eric felt that the last two people were likely to get divorced according to Hollywood practice. .

Eric remembers that last year, he was the best supporting actress who Zìjǐ personally offered to Geena Davis. Later, the other party also collaborated with another actress, Susan Sarandon, in the famous feminist film “Wind”. “Life is Crazy” is also an Oscar hit film. If history does not change, the actress has become devastated with the box office fiasco of “Cut Throat Island”, just like another tragic actor Kevin Costner. .

Thoughts were flying around, thinking of Kevin Costner, Eric couldn’t help but think of several excellent films starring Kevin Costner, “The Bodyguard”, “Million Dollar Arms” and “With Wolves” Dance” and the like, if it weren’t for the later “Water World”, Kevin Costner’s dìwèi in Hollywood would not be much lower than Harrison Ford, Schwarzenegger and others.

Moreover, Eric quickly remembered that the film “Dancing With Wolves” was the first work directed by Kevin Costner himself, and won the Best Director and Best Director for his directorial debut. Film and other awards.

In the chaotic jìyì, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com With the name of Kevin Costner pulling out a bunch of information, Eric quickly forgot about “Cut Throat Island” for a while, because He found another thing.

“Dancing With Wolves” seems to be released this year, and because the film is absolutely politically correct and in line with the characteristics of the American theme, it won this year’s Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture.

This is obviously not good news for the “Silence of the Lambs”, which is a year ahead of schedule. Although “The Silence of the Lambs” has been identified as this year’s Oscar hit, the filmmakers are very impressed with Anthony Hopkins and Judy. Foster’s performance is full of praise, and praise for the film has been cut off in recent months. It can be said that without “Dances with Wolves”, this film will definitely be a big winner of this year’s Oscar.

But when it comes to American theme movies like “Dancing With Wolves”, the disadvantage of “Silence of the Lambs” as a horror movie will be magnified and magnified wirelessly. If you want to win the best director and the best film like the previous life, then It’s almost impossible.

Thinking of this, Eric quickly called Allen over again, and explained that the other party immediately put down the gōngzuò and went to find out about the movie.
