I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 419

[Chapter 416 Night Talk]

???

The car slowly drove into the parking lot of Jiaojiao Manor. The driver turned his head and glanced and found that Eric was closing his eyes, so he patiently turned off the engine without disturbing Eric.

Loving novels.

しωχ520.

However, Eric, who felt that the surroundings were completely quiet, quickly opened his eyes, looked out the car window, and said, “I’m so sorry, Carl, did I sleep for a long time?” The

driver turned his head and said, “Not long, William. Mr. Si, we just got home for two minutes.”

Eric got out of the car and took a deep breath of the cool and humid air on the coast of Malibu at night, and his tired body felt a little refreshed.

The driver named Carl came out and said, “By the way, Mr. Williams, the doorman said that Miss Kidman was coming in the evening.”

“I see, you go to rest,” Eric said. After finishing, he took out his windbreaker and briefcase from the car and walked towards the villa.

Walking into the hall, the lights on the walls were slightly lit. Eric walked to the corner of the hall and saw Nicole lying on the side of the two-seater sofa. She seemed to be asleep with the pillow on her back.

The girl was wearing a thin light beige knitted sweater, her chest undulating slightly as she breathed, and her legs wrapped in dark jeans were slender and attractive. Eric took a few glances. Although he was a little moved, he didn’t bother Ni. But, it’s ten o’clock now, and Nicole must have been waiting for him for a long time.

He took a thin blanket next to him and covered it with the girl. Eric went to the bar in the corner and poured himself a glass of wine. He sat at the small coffee table on the other side, and took out a stack of documents from the briefcase he brought back to continue reading. up.

Because Eric will go to Oklahoma to shoot “Tornado” after the Oscar, and the shooting cycle will take up to three months. If everything goes well, the film will not be closed until the end of June, so Eric has to take advantage of myself in Los Angeles.

Assault to deal with various affairs of Firefly.

If he is content with the status quo, Eric can decentralize more vigorously. Anyway, with his current net worth, even if he does nothing, he will be comfortable enough to live a lifetime.

But this body is only twenty years old now.

It is the moment of energy, Eric does not want to live so drunkenly, and, as a ‘passer’ in this time and space, Eric is now completely a player’s mentality, he wants to see himself as a player in’ curtain call’ before.

How many levels can be raised, and whether it can dominate the entire plane copy, it is actually a very interesting thing to think about.

Time passed minute by minute, and the only light in the area illuminated by the lights was the slight sound of the paper turning pages.

Maybe I slept enough, or maybe I felt the coldness of the night.

Nicole, who had been lying on the sofa, moved, opened her eyes, pulled over the thin blanket beside her and stared blankly for a moment, only when she heard a sound not far away, she propped herself up and looked in that direction.

Nicole was lying on the back of the sofa, leaning out

her head and looking at Eric, who was sitting on the single sofa with his legs up and looking at the information in his hand. After a while, the girl asked, “Eric. What time is it now? Already

?”

“It’s almost twelve o’clock,” Eric turned his head and glanced at Nicole, because he had just woken up.

There was a touch of blush on the girl’s cheeks, and a few strands of messy hair scattered on her forehead. She had a unique style. No wonder many literary works always describe the coquettishness of a woman when she just woke up. At this time, Nicole really looked charming and charming.

Feeling that Eric’s eyes stayed on his face for a while, Nicole smiled.

He reached out and brushed a strand of hair that fell on his cheek, sat up, put on high heels and walked to Eric’s side.

Eric gave way to the side.

The girl was not polite, and squeezed directly into a single sofa with Eric.

The two of them are relatively thin people, so it doesn’t look crowded when they are on a sofa, but they are connected by a thin cloth, and the faint body fragrance on the woman’s body makes Eric feel A little distracted, he couldn’t help hugging Nicole, reached out and got in, rubbing lightly on Nicole’s slender waist.

Nicole twisted her waist with a smile, but did not stop her, leaning over to Eric and looking at the document in his hand: “What is this?”

Eric said: “The script for the second 3D animation handed over by Pixar.”

After speaking, Eric picked up another folder and handed it to Nicole: “This is the first draft of their character design, you see Look, what do you think?”

Nicole opened the blue folder and saw a lot of insect shapes drawn on the paper. After reading it quickly, the girl said, “It’s very cute, I don’t know about the rest.”

“Just think it’s cute. When I handed this story idea to John and the others, they said that insects in reality are not very pleasing.”

Nicole gently hugged Eric’s arm and smiled: “I think as long as you come up with a story, it must be very good.”

“Be so confident in me, maybe it won’t take long for someone to get bad luck because of this blindness.”

“That’s also true.

It must be because they didn’t do it well.”

“Well…” Erica said in a long voice, and suddenly asked in a sarcastic manner: “The little mouth is so sweet today, this style is not the same as you used to, is there anything else to do? Can I help?”

Nicole said with a smile without any guilty conscience, “Is your mouth sweet, would you like to try it?”

After saying that, the girl brought her rosy lips together.

Eric smiled and kissed Nicole’s lips, pretending to lick his lips, before judging: “It’s really a little sweet, there’s really nothing to do, hurry up and say it while I’m happy now?”

“I’m for real. There’s nothing wrong, but someone wants me to help lead the way, I don’t think you will agree, so if you don’t ask, I’m not going to say it.”

Eric quickly turned his thoughts. Nicole is now filming “Captain Hawk”. If it was Spielberg, he would definitely not let Nicole bring flowers to himself. The relationship between the two is not bad, Spielberg Greg will definitely call himself.

Then, apart from Spielberg, it can only be another person. Don’t forget, Nicole’s current manager is Pie Kingsley, and Pie Kingsley is also Tom Cruise’s manager.

“Could it be Cruise?” Eric asked tentatively.

Nicole looked slightly surprised, nodded and said, “Yeah, but I didn’t see him. It was Jinsley and Ms. Paula Wagner who invited me to dinner yesterday. That’s what they said.”

Eric knew the girl Saying this, I wanted to show that I didn’t contact Cruise privately, smiled and asked, “Is it related to the copyright of “Dark War”, or say it. Cruise wants to win the other half of “Dark War” Copyright?”

Now Nicole was even more surprised: “How did you know that?”

“It’s easy to guess,” Eric said.

In fact, this is a ‘learning from the past’. In my memory, Cruise owns half of the copyright of the “Mission Impossible” movie series. “Mission Impossible”.

Cruise gets more than Paramount.

If Cruise hadn’t owned half of the copyright of “Mission Impossible”, Paramount would have kicked out this arrogant guy long ago. Although Cruise and Paramount had a fight in the previous life, but because of copyright issues, Pai Ramon in order to restart the “Mission: Impossible” series.

He had to squeeze his nose again to reconcile with Cruise.

Now that the film copyright of “Mission Impossible” has been instructed by Eric to take down Drew ahead of time, it is also reasonable for Cruise to focus on the “Dark War” series after he went it alone.

Hearing Eric say this, Nicole said: “It’s strange, if I can’t guess, you must have heard something.”

Eric didn’t bother about this issue anymore, but said: “Tell me, I’m quite interested. How does Cruise want to get half of the copyright of “Dark War”, although he is now worth hundreds of millions $100 million, but I think $100 million in cash. Even if you squeeze him alive, you can’t squeeze it out?”

“It seems that Cruise’s production company has pulled in external investment. Paula said yesterday that if you agree, you can discuss it in person. Talk, they plan to pay part of the cash, and do some other benefits in exchange, such as Cruise helping Firefly make a few movies and so on.”

If the historical trajectory does not change in any way.

Cruise’s pay, or the pay of Hollywood stars as a whole, didn’t explode until 1995.

At that time, the 20 million salary club was established, and the first-line stars gradually began to popularize the salary model of the basic salary plus the share.

In comparison, the $15 million salary of Schwarzenegger, Stallone and others is not an exaggeration at all.

Eric occasionally thinks about whether he can stop the crazy salary increase trend of stars, because Hong Kong stars across the ocean have already suffered from the crazy salary increase. In the past two years, the movie market there has been because of the star’s popularity. The sky-high remuneration has caused most of the production costs to be spent on hiring stars, resulting in a large number of bad films. In addition, Southeast Asian countries are still suppressing Hong Kong films. Hong Kong films are now on the verge of collapse.

If there is no restraint, the unrestricted increase in the remuneration of Hollywood stars is likely to result in such a result. Under the circumstance that the international market continues to expand, perhaps the producers can still pay such high remuneration. Once the market is finalized, Even began to shrink, then Hollywood movies will undoubtedly embark on the ‘old road’ of Hong Kong movies.

Before Eric’s rebirth, the North American film market had been stagnant, the European market had been developed, and only one Asian film market was still expanding, but once the capacity of the Asian market reached its peak, then The development of Hollywood will also enter a bottleneck.

Nicole watched Eric suddenly stop talking, waited quietly for a while, and then couldn’t help but ask, “What are you thinking, suddenly so ecstatic?”

“No matter how you want to exploit you little actors, the life of a capitalist will be too long.

It’s not good.”

Ni can joke again for Eric, hehe laughed a few times, and then said, “Should I tell Paula directly tomorrow, you don’t agree with this matter?”

“Well, if they take cash directly, I’m not Don’t think about it, even if you cooperate, you should be able to find that in Cruise’s movies, there are very few other big-name stars, because everyone doesn’t like to cooperate with Cruise, and Cruise himself seems to be reluctant to cooperate with big-name stars. Cooperation, this “Dark War” he plans to do it alone soon.”

“Then I’ll tell him that,” Nicole said, slightly lowered her eyes, stretched out a finger and gently rubbed Eric’s arm After a while, he said: “Eric, I heard that you don’t have a female companion for Oscar this time?”

“I plan to go alone,” Eric had to repeat what he had already said to several women: ” I’m sorry, Nicole, they’ve all inquired about this. However, it seems that you didn’t appear in the nominated works last year, right?”

Nicole sighed regretfully, but did not bother, and replied: “Pat helped me run a The guest of honor for Best Cinematography, so I will also go this time.”

Eric didn’t want to continue this topic, and quickly asked: “How was the shooting of “Captain Hawk”?”

“Is it alright,” Ni But she said it in disappointment, but she quickly realized that her tone was likely to make Eric misunderstand that she was having a little temper because of the red carpet, and explained: “I feel that Mr. Spielberg seems to be very… …Anxiety, these days, he often even announces the suspension of filming for no reason. Maybe, maybe…”

Nicole thought that maybe it was a mistake to fight for this role in the first place, but after thinking about it, she still didn’t say it, this The character was bought from Eric after she cried once, and now she can’t express her disgust, so she can only swallow the bitter fruit herself. Judging from the current situation, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com ” Captain Hawke doesn’t seem to be of much help to his acting career either.

Thinking that half the copyright of Eric’s “Dark War” can be sold for a price of 100 million US dollars, Nicole had a temporary thought: “Eric, you say, how about I also study filmmaking?”

“Why suddenly Thinking of doing this?” Eric asked.

Nicole blushed, she couldn’t say that this was more profitable, although she did think so, but deep down, Nicole did not envy the tg film company established by Julia, Drew and Elizabeth. mean.

You must know that after the film “Silence of the Lambs” is released through various channels, it can bring more than 100 million US dollars in profits for the three women.

And according to her own current salary, even if she maintains the scale of 5 million, she still needs to shoot 20 movies to make so much money.

Besides, although the actors are very beautiful, in Hollywood, the producers who really have the power to leave are the producers who hold various powers.

“I think, I just want to try it all of a sudden.”

Eric thought for a moment, then suddenly gave a bad smile and said, “It’s not impossible, if you can completely pull two people to your side, I will support it. You set up a film company.” (To be continued)
