I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 478

[Chapter 475 Promise]

??

Eric thought that Zeta Jones would wake up very late after a hangover, but after he got up, he saw a girl in a pink bathrobe making breakfast in the kitchen.

“Good morning, Catherine,” Eric sat down in the small dining room of Unicom Kitchen and greeted the figure in the kitchen with a smile.

Zeta-Jones seemed a little surprised, looked this way, and said, “Good morning, Mr. Williams.”

“Do I have my share of breakfast?”

“Of course,” Zeta-Jones replied, quickly placing the pan The omelette from the sack was placed on a plate, and then brought to Eric along with the other prepared food.

Eric thanked him, picked up the tableware rudely, and was about to enjoy it, but saw Zeta Jones just made it next to him.

Aware of Eric’s doubts, the girl replied, “I don’t eat anything in the morning, this is specially made for you.”

Eric smiled, divided the breakfast in front of him into two portions, and pushed it to the girl. In

front of him: “You can go and pour another glass of milk.”

Zeta Jones didn’t object, got up and walked towards the refrigerator, poured a glass of milk back, and still sat down in the position just now.

“Why were you drunk last night?” Eric asked casually, smearing jam on the bread.

Hearing this question, Zeta Jones paused, glanced at someone with a nonchalant face, and said bitterly, “There is a guy who made trouble at the reception and messed up my affairs.”

“Oh, this It’s a pity, it’s not so easy to get the president of the Big Seven in Hollywood. But I don’t think Jon Peters will turn his face so easily, what did you do next?”

“I rejected his offer. Proposal.” Zeta Jones said in a low voice.

Eric was stunned for a while, and then he laughed out of character: “Proposal, haha, you are playing so big, you even hooked an old Hollywood fritter to propose to you.”

Zeta Jones glanced at Ai Rick, listen to this man say something without scruples that wouldn’t have been possible to talk about with much fanfare.

She also seems to be a little self-sacrificing, she is an ordinary girl from a small town in Wales.

Is it easy to get to this point: “Mr. Williams, are you gloating, I thought you were a gentleman.”

“Where did you see it?” Eric stopped smiling and asked.

“For example, last night…”

“So you woke up last night. I thought you were drunk and unconscious,” Eric squinted and looked at the woman sitting next to him, dressed in pink The woman in the colored bathrobe exudes a faint temptation: “You may have misunderstood this point, mainly because your drunken appearance makes people uninteresting, my favorite is the half-drunk half-drunk one. Women who are awake tend to struggle.”

“The more you struggle, the happier you are, right?”

“Bingo,” Eric snapped his fingers.

Although I knew that Eric said this mostly as a joke, Zeta Jones still sent a contemptuous look.

Eric completely ignored Zeta Jones’ eyes.

He asked, “I lost this big golden boy, what are you going to do next?”

Zeta Jones threw a charming look: “There is another one in front of me, I plan to try to catch it. If it fails, Then Britain will continue to wait for the opportunity.”

Eric seemed to be numbed by the current, pretended to shiver, and said with a frightened look: “I advise you to give up this idea, young people love to go to extremes, If you seduce others to the point of proposing to you again, and reject them cruelly, it is hard to predict what terrible things will happen.”

“If he really proposes to me, maybe I will really agree. ?”

“Don’t, you are still young. Once you step into the grave of marriage, you probably won’t be able to climb out. You should continue to harm the old men in Hollywood. When you step on those old bones and climb to the top of Hollywood power step by step, I can You write an autobiography for you for free, and I have already thought of the title, “The Legendary Life of Catherine Zeta-Jones.”

“The title is really uninspired, but it is understandable that Hollywood directors often have little talent in screenwriting. .”

Eric gritted his teeth, seemed to rack his brains for a while, and then said, “How about Mein Kampf?”

“Yuan will be pissed off first…”

Eric sighed Shaking his head: “Hey, woman!”

Zeta Jones looked at Eric with a face of ‘frustration’, and the corners of his mouth curved upward, suggesting a charming arc, but the charm quickly collapsed When she got down, she suddenly wanted to ask Eric if he looked down on her, but she quickly realized that maybe this young Hollywood tycoon didn’t care about her at all. In that case, what was there to look down on? , but how can he, a young man who can be called God’s darling, experience the hardships of her, who has worked so hard to get rid of poverty and climbed up carefully?

Feeling that Zeta Jones suddenly quieted down, Eric turned his head and glanced at the woman, noticed the other party’s expression, and asked, “What’s the matter, wasn’t it okay just now?”

“No,” Zeta Jones blinked quickly A few glances: “It’s nothing.”

“Oh,” Eric didn’t ask further, and said, “Would you like me to have someone buy a set of clothes for you?”

Zeta Jones shook his head: “No, I’ll wear it later.

Just leave the dress last night, and thank you for bringing me back last night, Mr. Williams.”

“You’re welcome.”

Zeta Jones finished the breakfast in front of him, took out a tissue and wiped it gracefully Lips, and said with determination: “If one day…you can’t forget today’s promise.”

“What?” Eric asked in confusion.

“Help me write my autobiography, whether it’s “The Legendary Life of Catherine Zeta-Jones” or “Mein Kampf”, all in all, when that day comes, I will definitely let you fulfill this promise.”

Arie Ke noticed the determined look on the girl’s face as she spoke.

Nodding with a smile: “Okay, but I haven’t talked about fees just now. I’m very expensive.”

“I’ll star in one of your movies for free,” Zeta Jones seemed to be more after making up his mind. A little bit of confidence: “When the time comes, my salary will definitely not be low.”

Eric pretended to struggle for a while before showing a ‘reluctant’ look: “Then I will suffer a little, and promise you.”

After Eric finished his breakfast, Zeta Jones carefully cleaned the dishes.

Back in the bedroom and changed back to last night’s dress.

After the girl came out, Eric said, “I asked the driver to take you?”

Zeta Jones did not reject Eric’s kindness.

After expressing gratitude, the two walked out of the villa side by side.

When the girl was about to get into the car, Eric took out a business card and handed it to Zeta Jones: “A good friend’s business card, he is a high-level executive. You can go to him, just say I introduced it. ”

Zeta-Jones hesitated slightly.

Eric smiled and said: “If you mind, I can guarantee that this detail will not appear in your autobiography in the future.”

Zeta Jones smiled, took the business card from Eric, and looked at it. It was written with the name of Kapoor Sid, which she vaguely remembered as the name of a golden agent in Hollywood: “Thank you, Mr. Williams. However, you can truthfully include this plot in my autobiography.”

“Okay. Right,” Eric nodded.

He stepped forward and opened the car door for the girl with his own hands. Zeta Jones lifted his skirt and sat in. Eric closed the car door, stepped forward and told the driver a few words, watching the black BMW sedan leave.

…

The first week of “Dark War” was released because of the drastic changes to the style of the film.

It only made $40.3 million at the box office, and it took a whole week.

The box office is showing a clear downward trend. The box office forecasting agency predicts that the box office drop of “Dark War Prequel” in the second week is likely to exceed 60%. This is a fairly conservative estimate. After all, except for “Tornado”, which is still strong. In addition, in the second week of “Dark War”, that is, on June 19, the majority of Batman fans have been looking forward to the release of “Batman Returns” for two years. Under this, “Dark War Prequel” is destined to become the most tragic cannon fodder.

Compared with the indication of “The Prequel”, the box office results of “Tornado” in the second week of its release surprised many people, and they were really surprised, because compared with the first week, the box office of “Tornado” in the second week was only It fell 15% to a high of $55 million, which is about 15 million more than the first week of “Dark War”, and with this box office trend, “Tornado” is likely to become a Firefly again. The North American box office grossed over $300 million.

“Tornado” accumulated a box office of 120 million US dollars in two weeks, and also let Hollywood film companies fully see the box office potential of CG special effects movies. For a time, in addition to the extremely popular digital field, Industrial Light and Magic has also become a major The object of close contact with the film company, and the newly established small CG special effects companies in Hollywood have frequently received M&A invitations from large film companies.

In this case, after discussing with Stan Winston, Eric quickly made a decision to expand the scale of the digital field, intending to expand the scale of fixed CG special effects artists in the digital field by 1,000 people. The reason for this plan , Eric is not considering that the workload in the digital field will increase significantly. In addition, there are also considerations about the maya software. If you can train up to 1,000 special effects engineers who are skilled in the digital field maya software, then, After these people leave in the future, they will play a very important role in promoting the maya software.

After seeing the importance of CG special effects, some other special effects companies have also started to develop their own special effects software. However, there is a lack of sufficient film projects for technical accumulation. Eric knows that those software are destined to be impossible to surpass maya, as long as it is a few more years. , Choose the right time to commercialize the maya software, which will be a very big wealth.

On June 19, under the close attention of many people and the anticipation of a large number of fans, Warner Bros. released Batman’s second big movie “Batman Returns” again after two years.

Under the circumstance that “The Prequel” has been completely announced, most people have turned their attention to the battle between “Batman Returns” and “Tornado”, although “Tornado” has been released to the third week, but relying on The box office trend of the first two weeks is against the sky, even if the box office can maintain a drop of about 20% this week, the box office of “Tornado” in the third week will still reach a height of more than 45 million US dollars, which is almost the same as the box office of most films in the first week of release. same.

As Eric originally expected, although “Batman Returns” still maintains the dark style of Tim Burton, the audience is obviously no longer able to accept the coldness of the second part after the amazing first part. Style, although “Batman Returns” still received more than 55 million US dollars at the box office in its first week of release, the evaluation of fans has not been as high as that of the first film.

At the same time, “Tornado” still received more than 46 million US dollars at the box office, and the total box office reached 166 million US dollars. In contrast, this year’s box office champion is likely to be destined to belong to “Tornado” and

“Batman Returns”. In the second week, the box office dropped by 45%, which is much higher than the 20% drop of the first film in the same period. Although this sequel will definitely be able to recover the cost according to the current box office trend. , However, under the one-sided crusade of fans, UU reading www.sonicmtl.

com Warners is already considering changing the director and actor of the “Batman” series.

Perhaps he wanted to maintain his status in the arena. In the second week of the release of “Batman Returns”, the actor Michael Keaton took the initiative to reveal to the media that he planned to withdraw from the Batman series of movies. However, Warners did not make a positive statement about this. respond.

Eric also quickly heard the news. He knew that Warner’s Batman movies in the 1990s, in the third and fourth movies, almost every main creator will have a complete ‘update’, so he can also understand To Michael Keaton, this is taking the initiative to find the steps for himself.

However, without the aura of the Batman actor, it is estimated that Michael Keaton will definitely not have any major development in Hollywood in the future. After waiting for ten or twenty years, recalling the past, the former superhero played the role of The actor will star in a movie called “Birdman”, recall the past, and hit the Oscars by the way.

However, these are not things that Eric cares about anymore. July is coming, and all the preparatory work for “Jurassic Park” is ready and can start shooting at any time.

But after some deliberation, Eric decided to wait for the release of another Firefly movie in the summer before leaving for Kauai, Hawaii, the main filming location of “Jurassic Park”.
