I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 590
[Chapter 585 Dad]
The so-called butterfly effect in Chapter 585
is actually an example of chaos theory, and the other most classic real example is the story of a horseshoe nail destroying a country.
The more popular explanation of chaos theory is that everything is composed of countless ‘fragments’, and the change of any of these ‘fragments’ may have a great impact on the whole.
From the beginning of an idea to the final completion of a movie, it needs to go through countless fickle ‘fragments’. Maybe it’s just a screenwriter who occasionally comes up with a brand new idea, or maybe it’s just that the editor accidentally cut a certain shot wrong. Therefore, in this time and space, it is almost impossible to make a movie exactly the same as the original time and space when history has deviates.
Although the core of “Braveheart” is Mel Gibson, the film’s excellent shots and soundtrack have a lot to do with the photographer and the soundtrack.
If the new cinematography and soundtrack deviate too much from the original, the entire movie could look completely different from the original.
Eric didn’t talk too much about script details with the Weinstein brothers and Mel Gibson, but instead focused on those details that influenced the style of the entire movie.
There are many Hollywood stars with perverse personalities, but none of them are stupid enough to play their temper in front of a big Hollywood boss, even if the big Hollywood boss is ten years younger than him, plus Ed Limato and the Weinstein brothers. The heat, the meal was quite enjoyable.
Although Mel Gibson is already a super-star in Hollywood, it is still impossible to compete with the people at the top of the pyramid. Eric heard that a few years ago, when Mel Gibson was working with Universal on “The Birds of Fright”, he was in the film During the release process, the overseas box office revenue was concealed. During the process of directing his first film “The Faceless Man”, the entire crew was directly kicked out of the Universal Studios, so it also caused a lot of hype in the gossip tabloids. Mel . Gibson must also have a good understanding of his position in that incident.
Walking out of the restaurant, Eric and Elizabeth said goodbye to Weinstein and others, and got into Elizabeth’s red BMW together.
Elizabeth drove the car and said casually to Eric sitting in the co-pilot: “You don’t seem to like Mel Gibson very much?”
Eric I said so-called: “It doesn’t matter whether you like it or not. His movies are still good, but the character is a little worse, and, you know. Although the stars rarely have contact with the studios, most of them are managed by agents. Do it for you, but stars are still rarely able to interact too closely with the top executives of the film company, because everyone has different positions, especially when talking about salary.”
Elizabeth smiled.
Said: “So everyone is very envious of Firefly.”
Eric asked suspiciously: “What?”
Elizabeth explained: “The protagonist in the cartoon produced by Firefly is the most worry-free ‘star’ in Hollywood, they are not I
will talk to the boss about the salary,
I will not play with my temper, and I will not go on strike
. “Fox also wants to do cartoons?”
“Yeah, but we are not as willing to burn money as you are, although Dad firmly controls News Corporation. But after all, we still have to explain to shareholders, if we spend too much money If you don’t get results in the early stage of research and development, it will definitely be troublesome. My father is very envious of you. Firefly is not listed. The strategic intent of a business practice, alas, the accounting expenses of News Corp. due to various audits last year exceeded $12 million, which is enough money to make a good movie.”
Eric ignored the girl’s complaints.
Asked: “Then what are you going to do?”
“Fox plans to test the waters of 2D animation first. This is relatively simple and requires little investment, and it is easier to find hand-painted animation staff.”
Eric almost blurted out that I can give it here .
You provide ‘talent’.
but.
If it was another company, Eric might have done it without hesitation, but he still couldn’t do it with his own woman.
“Don’t do 2D animation, I tell you, I’m already planning to shut down Disney’s hand-drawn animation department, you either don’t do it. If you want to do it, go directly to 3D animation.”
Elizabeth widened her eyes and asked in surprise: “What, are you going to shut down Disney Animation Studio?”
Eric shook his head and said, “Of course not, I just plan to stop the production of 2D hand-drawn animation, and Disney Animation Studio will fully carry out Digital transformation.”
Elizabeth pondered for a while, and probably understood Eric’s intention to do this, and blinked her eyes with some envy: “It’s easier for you to transform into 3D animation, as long as you transfer the technology accumulated by Pixar to Disney animation studio will be fine, but we have to start from scratch here.”
Eric looked at the girl pretending to be pitifully small, and smiled: “It’s no use blinking, I don’t have enough people on my side. Well, Firefly plans to expand the animation department to one or two movies a year, but now Pixar Animation can only produce one movie every two years.”
“Of course I don’t want anyone on your side,” Elizabeth blinked again. Blinking his eyes: “Just license the 3D animation production software dedicated to Pixar Studio to Fox, and the price is up to you.”
Eric still shook his head: “Unless your animation studio sells me 51% of the shares, you Ask your father if he wants to.”
“No,” Elizabeth replied immediately for Murdoch, then she put away her discharge and gave Eric a look, and concentrated on driving.
She already knew that there was little hope in this matter, or that there was no hope at all. The reason why Firefly was able to monopolize the huge profits of 3D animation in recent years was because of Pixar’s absolutely leading technological advantages.
Although Firefly Software began to publicly release maya software for special effects production in the digital field after its establishment, the digital field even publicly stated that the publicly released maya is a castrated version, and the most core technologies are still firmly in the hands of the digital field. .
Therefore, if Eric really agrees to this matter, Elizabeth will feel that there is a problem in it.
The two drove slowly up the Beverly Hills road late at night. Eric glanced at the roadside inadvertently and asked, “Trousdale Manor should be heading east, right?”
Just as Elizabeth was about to speak, Eric remembered the car he was sitting in, and quickly said, “I know I know. It’s a new place to live.”
Elizabeth snorted softly before saying, “We live on the top of the mountain now. On Crest Street.”
Eric doesn’t know where Crest Street is, but he prefers Trousdale Manor, where Hollywood stars gather, which is the best area overlooking Hollywood.
Sitting by the pool on the terrace of the villa will give people a sense of condescending suspension: “I still think the villa in Trousdale is good.”
Elizabeth said bitterly: “Anyway, I don’t want to talk to that crazy girl Drew anymore. We’re neighbors.”
“I thought you guys were reconciled, what a big deal, didn’t you already figure it out.”
“Hmph,” Elizabeth snorted, turning her head and ignoring Eric.
The mansions in Beverly Hills are more luxurious though.
But the infrastructure between the mountain roads is really poor, old telephone poles, street lights that only appeared far away, and bare hillsides. The car went all the way up the mountain road, and Eric was even worried about a soil and water. If you don’t keep it well, something will roll down the slope.
When they finally reached the top of the mountain, the red BMW drove into a manor. Eric stood in front of the courtyard and looked around, surprised.
This place not only overlooks the entire Los Angeles, but also can see the valley area to the north.
The field of vision is definitely wider than that of Rollsdale Manor.
Elizabeth looked at Eric’s reaction with a little smugness, and said, “This mansion occupies a hilltop, isn’t it worse than Rollsdale Manor?”
“Of course,” Eric nodded in satisfaction. Looking at the mountain road leading to Burbank on the other side of the hillside, it seems that it can lead all the way to the Firefly headquarters in Burbank. This road is definitely much closer than Eric has walked in recent days. I’m
too busy to go back to Malibu, so I’m staying here.”
Elizabeth blushed and said, “Don’t you plan to ask my master’s opinion first?”
Eric smiled and said, “I’ve already agreed. What else do you want to ask?”
Elizabeth raised her toes and gently kicked Eric’s leg before she said unwillingly, “Let’s go in, do you want coffee? ” It’s
only ten o’clock, and Eric doesn’t have many pajamas.
Nodding: “Okay.” The
two of them pushed open the villa door and walked into the living room. There was only a dim wall lamp lit in the living room. Before Elizabeth could turn on the fluorescent lamp in the living room, the two noticed obvious noise coming from the kitchen. White shine.
“Maybe Julia forgot to close the refrigerator door,” Elizabeth said indifferently.
Eric narrowed his eyes cautiously and pointed his finger.
Elizabeth looked over and saw a white shadow near the refrigerator.
“We don’t have pets, what is it?” Elizabeth was not worried, she turned on the fluorescent light, and the two walked towards the kitchen together, and saw a small person sitting on the floor holding a chocolate cake Eating deliciously, there are still a lot of bottles and jars that fell out of the refrigerator around the little man.
Elizabeth walked over quickly, more than the chocolate cake in the little guy’s hand, and asked, ” Emma
, why are you here?”
Seeing that the little guy had cream all over his face, like a dirty kitten, he said angrily and funny, “Is there no nanny in your family?”
Emma turned around when she heard Eric’s figure. The little head looked over, stared at Eric for two seconds, and immediately extended two small hands to Eric with joy: “Dad…Dad.”
Elizabeth stared at Eric helplessly, but no longer He tried to correct Emma’s name, but the little guy handed it over and said, “You hold it first, I’ll see if Carly is there, why is this happening,”
Eric thought to himself that Carly in Elizabeth’s mouth should be Emma’s The nanny took the dirty little guy from Elizabeth without hesitation, and the two walked out of the kitchen together.
Watching Elizabeth turn around and walk into a corridor, Eric sat down on the sofa in the living room with the little guy in his arms, and asked softly, “Emma, why are you in the kitchen alone?” The
three-year-old There was no problem with Emma’s verbal communication. Hearing Eric’s words, the little guy hugged his stomach pitifully: “Emma, hungry, aunt, don’t give me something to eat.”
Eric’s forehead immediately popped up. A black line, it’s not that serious.
Elizabeth quickly led a fat white woman in blue pajamas to the living room, and pointed angrily to Emma and the mess in the kitchen: “How do you take care of the child, fortunately she just ate Cake, what if I swallow other things and get stuck?”
The nanny named Carly looked aggrieved: “Miss Murdoch, this matter… It’s not my fault for this matter, Miss Roberts came back in the evening and said that she would take care of it herself. Emma, I’ll put Emma to bed tonight.”
Eric took out a tissue from the carton on the table to help the little guy clean the cream on his face, and asked, “Has Emma had dinner?” The
nanny Of course, I knew who Eric was, and shook his head cautiously: “This, Mr. Williams, I… I don’t know. After Miss Roberts said she would take care of Emma herself, I went back to the room to rest.
” Ke smiled and shook his head. It seemed that the problem was on Julia’s side. He waved his hand and said, “Go and rest first.” The
nanny pointed to the mess and asked, “Want Shall I clean the kitchen?”
“No,” Eric shook his head.
After the nanny left, Eric handed Emma wrapped around him to Elizabeth: “Go and give the little guy a bath first, I’ll see what happened to Julia, which room is she in?”
Elizabeth said this Shi also understood the crux of the matter, and felt a little helpless at Julia’s carelessness. He pointed to the stairs and said, “The first room upstairs is.”
Eric took out a few pieces of paper and wiped the cream that Emma had put on his chest, and walked towards the stairs. Elizabeth glanced at Eric’s back before taking the little guy to the bathroom.
Eric walked upstairs, pushed open the door of a bedroom, turned on the light, and saw that Julia was lying on the big bed in an unimpressive manner, with only a thin blanket covering her body, and the air was in the air. There was also a faint smell of wine, which made him even more angry.
