I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 62
[Chapter 61 The Gathering]
“Didn’t the Lanker family come?” At the corner of the party, Jeffrey asked casually with a glass of red wine.
This is the second day of returning to Los Angeles. In order to thank everyone for their help in the past six months, Eric specially held a private party in the Beverly Hills mansion. In the past six months, James Brooks, who has intersected with himself, , Penny Marshall, Jeffrey Hansen, Michael Krause, Edward Lewis, etc., as well as some actors and friends I met during the filming of “Back to Seventeen” and “Home Alone”, Ai Rick has issued an invitation.
In addition to the partners brought by the guests, there are always nearly forty or fifty people. Fortunately, Eric changed his residence, so there was no embarrassing crowded situation when he first held a party.
Hearing Jeffrey’s words, Eric shook his head nonchalantly: “I called and invited myself, but Charlison refused.”
Jeffrey said with concern: “I heard that Stuart Runkel was in CAA. Under the arrangement of , I have already received three film appointments, and the schedule is directly scheduled to the end of next year. Eric, what are your plans?”
Eric comforted: “Don’t worry, Jeffrey, CAA wants It’s just wishful thinking to use the sequel to “Home Alone” to pinch us. You’ll understand when the movies that Little Stu took are released.” In my
memory, after relying on “Home Alone” to become famous in the past life, Macaulay Culkin also He has received a lot of films, but the box office results have been mediocre. Coupled with the high remuneration caused by its fame, some producers even lost money.
“You’re saying the other films Stewart has made aren’t going to be great?” Geoffrey thought about that, too.
Eric nodded: “Everyone knows that “Home Alone” is an anomaly, and I don’t deny it myself. After all, little Stu is just a child, no matter how famous he is, the box office appeal cannot be comparable to that of an adult superstar. Than. Until next year, in order to maintain little Stu’s reputation, even if they break up with CAA, the Runkels will choose to continue to cooperate with us. That couple…”
Eric stopped talking here, with disappointment in his eyes. When he called to invite the Runkel family, Charlison Runkel had a cold and even arrogant attitude towards him.
Eric can also figure out some of Charlison’s mentality. Maybe the other party thinks that if it wasn’t for his son, “Home Alone” would not have been as successful as it is now.
Some people always take themselves too seriously.
“But what if Stewart makes another blockbuster movie?” Jeffrey asked.
“Not to mention that this possibility is very small, even if it does happen, it will be negotiated at that time. Jeffrey, after “Pretty Woman” is released, you will understand that I am not relying on a “Pretty Woman” The Home Alone series is alive.”
As he was speaking, he caught a glimpse of Drew in a red dress casually taking a glass of red wine from the waiter’s tray, and Eric immediately glared at the girl.
Drew found that his behavior was caught by Eric, and quickly put the wine glass back, stuck his tongue out, and slipped into a group of young people next to him.
Jeffrey noticed Eric’s actions and joked: “You are so kind to her, although you are only eighteen years old, I still feel that you treat Drew like your own daughter, if you have children in the future, you will He must be a very competent father.”
“It’s too far away to say this now, I’m only eighteen years old, and I can’t be in a hurry to get married and have children.” As
he was talking, James Brooks greeted the other guests and
came to the two around people.
“James, thank you for that.” Eric raised his glass to James.
James smiled and said: “It’s just a small matter. I saw the photo reprinted in the “Los Angeles Times” a few days ago. You two look so good.”
Speaking of this Jeffrey also laughed: “Ai Rick, are you sure you didn’t pose for that photo, I have a hard time believing that it was taken by a passing amateur photographer?”
“But, that’s the truth, I bought the negative for $1,000 on purpose.
Came here and even got the inspiration to come up with a new script.”
James suddenly became interested: “Eric, if it is convenient, can you reveal the content?”
“Of course no problem,” Eric said: “The story unfolds between a single father and an engaged female reporter… ”
Eric took a few minutes to recite the synopsis of Sleepless in Seattle.
“It sounds like the creation of this script was inspired by “Golden Jade Alliance”. James expressed his opinion.
Eric did not deny it: “In the script setting, the heroine likes the movie “Jin Yumeng” very much. If the filming starts in the future, I even plan to pay tribute to it with the theme song of “Jinyumeng”.”
James wanted to If Eric’s script is amazing, you can buy it and make it yourself, or even jointly invest with Firefly Films. Eric just owes him a favor. If he opens his mouth, Eric probably won’t refuse.
But after listening to Eric’s story, James gave up the plan just now.
Eric didn’t tell much about the script details of Sleepless in Seattle, so James made it a normal romance.
Although romantic films are a large category of Hollywood movies, there are not many that do well at the box office.
In this era, Hollywood’s best-selling movies are more inclined to action movies or sci-fi movies, and even thriller dramas are more likely to do well at the box office than romantic movies.
Eric was relieved by James’ lack of interest after listening to the script.
If James asked for the script, he really didn’t know how to say no.
“Sleepless in Seattle” is a movie with a box office of more than 100 million yuan, because I owe James a favor to send it out.
The topic of several people quickly turned to other aspects, UU reading www.
sonicmtl.com “Sleepless in Seattle” was temporarily put on the back of the mind, until later, after the film was released, it received a total of more than 200 million US dollars at the global box office, and James Brooks beat his chest and shouted regret.
“Eric, I heard that your “Pretty Woman” is going to be released on Valentine’s Day. I think it’s better to be cautious. After the New Year’s holiday, there are only five weeks until Valentine’s Day, plus the film’s submission for review. Rating, the effective production time does not exceed four weeks, which is a very risky thing.”
Eric said: “Actually, preparations for this film began two weeks ago, and now it is more than a week away from shooting, which is enough. I took all the details into consideration, so the production time of four weeks was more than enough. There are not many main scenes in “Pretty Woman”, so it was easy to shoot.”
In the previous life “Pretty Woman”, I only used the During the 12 weeks, it also experienced events such as changing production companies and modifying the script style.
In normal movie shooting, the accumulated film material will be as long as dozens of hours, and the large-scale production film material may even exceed one or two hundred hours. It is the shooting of these materials that consumes a lot of time.
And Eric, who already has a complete film in his mind, certainly wouldn’t waste so much time, if it weren’t for the fact that the actors had to go through a lot of shooting for emotional adjustment in order to devote themselves to the plot.
Eric can even shoot those shots directly from his memory.
Even so, as long as the actors can perform, Eric has the confidence to compress the film footage into ten hours, so that four weeks of shooting and post-production time are more than enough.
