I’m in Hollywood

I just said casually, you don't have to follow me all the time. Eric drove the car and glanced helplessly at Drew, who was relying on the co-pilot.

Drew snorted softly, chewed a few chewing gum, and continued to play with the handheld computer with his head down. The beeping sound drifted in the carriage.

Jenny will go back to Los Angeles at the end of the month, and will probably move in together.

Hmm, Drew said in a slightly louder voice, but she didn't mind it.

Drew was not optimistic about the relationship between Eric and Aniston from the very beginning. Eric has a very strong character in his bones. Although he usually seems to be friendly, it seems that everything can be negotiated. Being arrogant, he will not allow others to go against his will. And Aniston's little girl is so stubborn and has a kind of self-esteem with a strong sense of inferiority. It may be nothing to get along with in the short term, and both parties will accommodate each other when they encounter friction. But after a long time, it is impossible to maintain the situation of mutual tolerance, not to mention that Eric is so diligent, it is strange that Aniston can bear it.

Drew often fantasizes that she may be the one who is most suitable for Eric, that she can tolerate or even condone his strength, his carelessness, and everything about him. In order to get along better with him, Drew, who was dizzy when he read a book, also read a lot of books on personality psychology, just to get to know him better.

Although she loves him and can give everything for him, she knows that he will not belong to her after all. It is really sad to think about it.

The reason why she haunted her like this today is not because she is jealous, well, it is indeed a little bit.

But she was more just showing her presence. She knew that he must understand in his heart, he was so smart, how could he not understand, she just wanted a little more, not greedy at all.

This was the first time Drew came to the Firefly headquarters. Although she grew up in front of the camera, she didn't know much about the inner workings of the film company. I was full of curiosity about everything here, so I took a female staff member who worked overtime on weekends to show me everywhere. The dubbing room and editing room were all around, and I was curiously playing with some equipment, but Firefly is not a big family after all. It took me more than ten minutes to make a circle, and then I obediently stayed in the small screening room and watched the videotape. And did not continue to harass Eric.

After explaining that the name given by Drew was added to the audition list, Eric flipped through the roster of actors that had passed the first round of screening.

After reading a few pages, the actors above basically agreed with the screening conditions he listed. As for whether there is any private goods in it, it is certain that there is no need to guess. Even he himself has added a lot of favors to it, not to mention other people in the company.

He can even be sure that in the future auditions, there will even be tricks in the audition sequence arranged by the staff, but as long as there are not too many mistakes. As for whether it will be unfair to those actors who have no connections but have good acting skills? Sorry, the world is never fair.

With the growth of the company and the increase of affairs, it is impossible for Eric to hold every power in his hands, and the casting rights of some minor roles will be slowly handed over to others.

The person in charge of casting will not make jokes about their careers. Once the selected actors do not meet the requirements and affect the shooting, the person in charge will most likely be fired. Therefore, those women who delusionally go to bed with the casting assistant director and get the role Actors, if their acting skills are not good enough, most of them will end up empty-handed.

After reviewing part of the audition list, Eric was not in a hurry to leave,

Now that I'm here, I read the detailed budget tables for the three films, Dark War, Frightening Island and Scent of a Woman. Because Dark War was invested by Colombia, Eric set the budget. At $40 million, for a non-special-effects movie, it's a super high-budget production. But Eric doesn't plan to save money for Columbia either. If he can't spend it all, Columbia won't put the remaining money into his card.

So Eric turned the money to the actor. The female character of the head of Interpol sent a cameo invitation directly to the alien queen Sigourney Weaver. The other party also agreed. Of course, the guest fee is not low. It doesn't matter, it's not bad money, anyway, it doesn't cost my own money.

As for the 'Chief Inspector Huang Qifa' of the major crime team who grabbed the scene and got no friends, Eric was looking at Joe Pesci, who played the stupid Harry in the original Home Alone, and Eric was preparing for Home Alone. When Home Alone, I thought about inviting the other party, but unfortunately the budget was not enough, so I could only make do with a TV actor. As a result, the actor was directly robbed by the newcomer Matthew Perry. The new version of Home Alone performed well. No longer an old thief, but a little thief.

Joe Pesci just received an invitation for another blockbuster movie, Lethal Weapon II invested by Warner, which is also a very popular movie series of Warner, and has been shooting five films in parallel time and space. When the other party was hesitating between the two movies, he received another salary offer from Firefly, and then there was no hesitation. Of course, Eric also specially auditioned for the other party, and the effect was good. Joe Pesci has a very happy Donald Duck voice and his own comedy talent. I just don't know whether Tom Hanks, who is also excellent in acting, will be suppressed in the filming in the future.

As for the other supporting roles in Dark War that have not yet been selected, Eric also set the standard at the level of second- and third-tier actors. If there is no acting experience in two or three movies and no personal connections, then he will be brushed down directly. Not even qualified to audition.

The budgets of Scent of a Woman and Frightening Island, which Eric personally invested in, were much smaller. The investment budget of Smell the Fragrance was set at 10 million US dollars. Al shot this film mainly to go to the Oscars. Yes, only 3 million in salary. As for The Island, the budget is only 5 million, Jonathan Demme's director fee is $500,000, and Virginia's salary is the same as that of Julia in The Wind and Moon, $300,000. Because all the scenes of the film are in an old English house, the remaining funds are more than enough to complete the shooting.

After reading the long budget tables for the three movies, Eric stretched, checked the clock, and it was already 6 pm, and got up to leave. I asked the staff who stayed behind and learned that Drew had left early. Xiao Nizi is so funny, Eric is embarrassed not to go home at night. After calling to inform Virginia that he would not be there tonight, Eric drove back to the Beverly Hills mansion.

The girl was obviously very happy to see him go back, but she still ate takeout at night. Eric has been busy all afternoon and is too lazy to cook. Drew has no talent for cooking at all. It is not impossible to force her to do something. But what is made is hard to swallow.

Eric, why don't we hire a chef? Drew, apparently tired of delivering pizza, suggested on a whim at the table.

Eric cut a piece of pizza and put it in his mouth, nodded: It's better to hire a few more maids, I prefer Japanese maid clothes, how about you?

I like... As soon as Drew said the beginning, he closed his mouth and glared at Eric: You are such a possessive male creature, even if the territory is empty, No one of the same kind is allowed.

Tsk tsk, Eric looked up and down the girl opposite curiously, I didn't expect you to say such a reasonable thing. I really underestimated you before.

Drew pouted and lowered his head to continue dealing with dinner, ignoring Eric.
