Chapter 69 People who go the wrong way

The Olsen sisters are not well-known in China. People who don’t even pay attention to the fashion industry have most likely never heard of them.

However, the third sister, who is a few years younger than the twins, is much familiar to China. She is Marvel's Scarlet Witch and many people's YY goddess, Elizabeth Olsen.

The Olsen sisters entered the film and television industry at a very young age. It can be said that they are the daughters that the American people grew up watching. Especially during their childhood, they influenced the aesthetics of a generation of little girls.

With the help of her two sisters, the third sister Elizabeth has also entered the film and television industry. She is currently featured in major TV shows, but is definitely not as famous as her two sisters.

Relying on his childhood influence, the agent founded Double Star Entertainment specifically for the Olsen sisters, which operates various peripherals for the two sisters. They were also very prosperous in the past few years.

The two underage girls were once worth over 100 million and became the envy of countless young people.

However, the influence of the Olsen sisters is almost exclusively on girls under the age of ten. As the two sisters grow older, their fans also gradually grow.

As fans grow up and become more conscious, it is naturally harder to cut leeks, so Double Star Entertainment's performance has obviously begun to decline in the past two years.

The Olsen sisters were anxious and wanted to break through on the big screen, hoping to change their image so as to spread their influence to young people.

It's a pity that as the saying goes, nothing from the small screen can make it to the big screen, except for one George Clooney.

The two sisters either appeared in small supporting roles, such as in "Charlie's Angels", or they still played in TV movies, such as "Challenge of Sisterhood", "Daddy Comes Out", etc., but could not even make it to the big screen.

Career development can no longer be described as being stuck in a bottleneck period. It should be said that it has declined seriously. When Eric saw them, he thought of Shi Xiaolong and Hao Shaowen.

Countless child stars are like this. When they are young, they disappear from everyone when they grow up.

This time the two sisters asked the screenwriter to create a tailor-made script called "New York Moment", hoping to give it another shot.

And they wanted to make the scene bigger and more elaborate, so they invested US$40 million in the budget.

After the script came out, the two sisters began lobbying major companies, hoping to attract investment.

Unfortunately, they really overestimated the quality of this script. After reading it, more than a dozen companies generally showed a lack of interest.

A few days ago, the two sisters flew to New York again, planning to lobby Warner and Disney for investment. After arriving in New York, they naturally stayed at their aunt's house.

I overheard the relationship between my aunt and Eric, and then I set my sights on him, the upstart MGM star.

In the room, the three aunts and nieces looked at Eric, hoping to judge something from his expression.

It's a pity that Eric just looked at the script in his hand expressionlessly, dozens of pages of the script turning quickly in his hands.

After just reading it for a while, the script was only half-turned, and then it was thrown on the table.

It's mediocre, has no highlights, the conflicts are devoid of new ideas, and the characters are very cliche. It belongs to the type that no one will remember after being left in a warehouse for decades.

Eric recalled in his mind that he had no memory of the movie "New York Hours" at all, and he had watched a little bit of the Olsen sisters' TV movies.

Then the result was that the next one fluttered silently, without even a splash.

This kind of garbage dares to ask for an investment of 40 million. This is not fanciful, it is simply crazy, even worse than Ryan Reynolds' "The King of Repeaters".

No wonder the Olsen sisters have made no achievements in movies, their vision says it all.

Seeing Eric throwing away the script, the three aunts and nieces instantly felt their hearts sinking, secretly thinking that something was wrong.

Elena asked cautiously: "Eric, isn't the script not very good?"

Sighing, Eric said tactfully: "The plot is a bit too cliche. Hollywood produces dozens of movies like this every year, but how many of them have you seen become popular?"

"But Ashley and Mary"

"No, no, no, Elena, you don't understand. The core of a movie is always the story. Actors are just a bonus, but not necessary. Otherwise, wouldn't it be good for Nicole Kidman and Charlize Theron to make ten movies every year? "

"The script of "New York Hours" lacks polish. I suggest you change it to another screenwriter."

The Olsen sisters looked at each other. Eric's conclusion was similar to that of those companies, but after all, they still didn't want to give up because of their aunt's relationship.

Mary Olson blinked her beautiful big eyes and started to discharge: "Eric, we will adopt your suggestion, and we will find a screenwriter to rewrite the script."

"So after the script revision is completed, will MGM be willing to invest? In fact, Double Star Entertainment can also contribute part of the US$40 million, and we can definitely split it in half."

After her sister finished speaking, Ashley Olsen came over and sat down, and her eyes also started to discharge.

Seeing that they were still daydreaming, Eric was speechless. Even if you two sleep with me, it's not worth 20 million US dollars! You really treat yourself like gold!

Just say it more directly: "Mary, you don't understand what I mean. Just put it bluntly. This script is a piece of garbage."

"Don't mention you two sisters filming it, it's useless even if Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor star in it. You can't dig out gold from mud."

The room fell silent, the words were harsh, and the Olsen sisters were embarrassed.

Thinking back on the recent series of setbacks and the unsatisfactory careers in recent years, the two 17-year-old girls couldn't help but feel sad, lowered their heads and stopped talking.

Seeing her niece grunting, Elena was a little angry: "Eric, you've gone too far!"

"The truth hurts, I hope you don't mind." Eric sighed

"Is there no way to remedy this? You are the captain of MGM and you hold huge power in your hands. Please help these two children, otherwise they will have no choice but to leave the entertainment industry."

Eric was ready to leave.

"Elena, moral kidnapping doesn't work for me. You know I'm not that kind of person, and I'm responsible for the entire MGM. Unless it's profitable, I can't just waste money."

"Then go dig for profits. They are the Olsen sisters. They are the children that the whole country has watched grow up. You can always find the bright spots in them, right Eric?"

As she spoke, Elena held Eric's hand tightly: "You can always create and seize opportunities. Facts have proven it. I think it will be the same for these two children, as long as you are willing to put some thought into it." .”

Breaking free of Elena's hand, Eric retracted his raised leg.

After carefully looking at the two sisters in front of me, I suddenly felt that what Elena said made sense.

"The New York Hour" is undoubtedly garbage, but the Olsen sisters are not, and I can make a fuss about them.

These two sisters have good foundations. They are the kind of people who took the wrong path and never looked back after hitting a wall.

It will be on the shelves next Tuesday. Let me give you a preview. I will try my best to code it in the next few days.
