I’m in Hollywood

Chapter 108 Do you believe in love at first sight

Motorola promised to pay $3 million in sponsorship fees, but the premise is that the actor must be the previously revealed Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks.

Lamborghini's sponsorship offer this time is a one-time payment of $800,000. The other party has learned to be smart and no longer accepts the rule of floating sponsorship fees at the box office.

As for the rest, Ray-Ban sunglasses offered $500,000, asking for more than 5 seconds of close-up shots of the Ray-Ban glasses trademark in the movie, and Hershey's Chocolate Candy Company offered $500,000 to buy out the box bomb placement. …”

In the conference room, Jeffrey's tone was excited, and he read one by one the sponsor offers that were interested in buying the placement ads.

In fact, Eric also has the same document in his hand, but Jeffrey couldn't help but read it out. He was so happy. If all the quotations on the document were finalized, it would mean that the filming had not yet started, and Firefly would Made more than $6 million in profit.

In this era, Hollywood has the opportunity to make more than 500 movies on the screen every year, but even if you include the late-stage videotape broadcast rights and other peripheral profits, the profit reaches 6 million US dollars, and it will not exceed 50.

Eric reviewed his comments one by one after the advertisement quotations, and then closed the folder and handed it to Jeffrey: Okay, Jeffrey, only with more than 6 million US dollars in sponsorship, so you are so happy?

It's just over $6 million, Jeffrey raised his head dissatisfied, repeated Eric's words, and retorted: Eric, you have the ability to find me another movie that can get a $6 million sponsorship. Come?

Not now, doesn't mean there won't be in the future, Eric spread his hands: Perhaps in another ten or twenty years, movies will be able to recover most of their costs just by placing advertisements.

You don't have to wait ten or twenty years at all, Jeffrey said with some emotion: If it was the last Pretty Woman, if we got so many sponsorship fees, it would have been a cost recovery.

There is absolutely no objection to this assumption, Eric suddenly remembered another very important thing: Did you tell these sponsors the secret before the release of the movie?

Of course I won't forget it, Jeffrey replied. I explained the benefits to them clearly. Before the movie is released, the sponsors won't reveal a word.

Eric nodded at ease, stood up and asked, That's good, today's audition is about to start again, do you still want to come?

Forget it, it's too torturous, I won't go. Jeffrey hurriedly refused. Originally, he enjoyed the producer's power over the actor's life and death, but unfortunately he sat behind the audition table for several days, repeatedly Asking questions, watching the performance of the audition actors over and over again, slowly, the previous sense of superiority completely disappeared, leaving only dullness and exhaustion.

The actor auditions in the past few days have also made Eric dizzy. This is mainly the audition for the role of Dark War. For each role, there are hundreds of actors who have obtained audition qualifications. Filtered results. In addition, some actors who were eliminated from time to time want to get a second audition opportunity through various channels, in short, it is very annoying.

Eric has decided to audition for the two films Small Island and Scent of a Woman to directors Jonathan Demme and Martin Brest, and he intends to let the two directors choose first If there are less than ten candidate actors, it will be much easier to do the third round of audition by themselves.

The only thing better than auditioning for various villains the other day is,

Today's audition is for the role of Yoyo, Andy's encounter girl on the bus, the third person who was teased by base friends or pseudo-base friends as interfering in the pure and beautiful relationship between Andy and Sean.

Of course, this is just a joke. Although the two protagonists in Dark War are very cool, they are generally a tragic and grim story. If the cute guy Huang Qiqi, the Chief Inspector of the Major Crime Unit is the joy in the story, Yoyo It's that warm color. A story, full of joys, sorrows and joys, just like life.

Eric previously set the standard for this role to be a beautiful woman between the ages of 18 and 30, with the temperament of a workplace beauty. So, today's audition process must be very eye-catching.

...

A girl walked out of the audition room, gently closed the door, turned around and quickly put away the expression on her face, ignoring all the searching glances in the corridor, carrying her bag and walking towards the waiting agent not far away, the two whispered. After a few words, he walked out.

The staff came out, read another name, another girl was called in, and the next one was herself. Gwyneth Paltrow took out the vanity mirror in her bag and checked her makeup again.

She was born in 1972 and is only 17 years old this year. According to the standards set by Eric, Gwyneth could not even get an audition opportunity. That didn't deter her, though, as she knew Drew, who was close to Eric Williams, both of whom were godfathers Steven Spielberg.

That little bitch, who is said to have been raised by Eric Williams, is getting worse and worse.

Gwyneth's father is a producer, and her mother is a well-known film and television actress, and her family is a hundred times better than Drew. She has looked down on Drew who is cute with a baby face since she was a child. Even at the party at Spielberg's house, Gwyneth rarely greets Drew. She prefers to get along with peers who have similar family conditions to her, so as to help her future development.

However, Gwyneth, who was about to enter Hollywood, was immediately moved when she learned that there was an opportunity to work with big names such as Eric Williams, Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks.

If she can get this role, her career starting point in Hollywood will be higher than those of the young actors who have struggled for many years. So without hesitation, Gwyneth immediately contacted Drew, hoping that the other party could help her get an audition opportunity.

Although she and Drew were not close before, but the two of them had nothing to do with each other. That little bitch agreed after being coaxed by a few words of his own. It was so fooling. No wonder he has fallen to the point of being supported. Gwyneth thought so contemptuously, and in less than five minutes, the girl who had just entered walked out with a look of despair.

The eyes of all the waiting actresses in the hallway lit up, and one more competitor was missing.

Next, Miss Gwyneth Paltrow.

Gwyneth stood up quickly, took a deep breath and adjusted her state, walked into the audition room with a faint smile, and sat down on the chair. He looked straight ahead confidently, and looked at the blond young man sitting in the middle with his head down and writing something, that is Eric Williams, he is really handsome.

Gwyneth's heart beat a little faster, and she couldn't help but fantasize about whether the other party would invite her to dinner. Perhaps, she should reject the other party once to show her restraint. Men who are too easy to get will never cherish it. She is quite confident in her looks.

After more than ten seconds, the young man opposite raised his head with a smile on his face: Hello, Miss Paltrow, let me introduce myself first.

In the brief eye contact with the other party, Gwyneth saw that Eric Williams must know her, which made her a little excited. It seemed that the little bitch still played a role, at least the other party didn't take her as her own. is a stranger.

Hello everyone, my name is Gwyneth Paltrow, I am 17 years old and graduated from...

After a brief self-introduction, Eric asked, Miss Paltrow, according to the data, you have never had any experience in acting in a movie before. Why do you think you can get this role?

Gwyneth still had a smile on her face, she just made some preparations for this question, and answered calmly: Because I was born in an acting family, my mother was an actor, when I was very young At that time, I began to help my mother with the lines. In this situation, I have always maintained a strong interest in acting. Since middle school, I have been the backbone of the school drama club and participated in many famous dramas. The stage play has accumulated a wealth of acting experience.”

After Gwyneth finished speaking, she saw several judges on the opposite side nod at the same time.

Miss Paltrow, do you believe in love at first sight? Another question was thrown from the other side.

Gwyneth was stunned for a moment, completely unaware of the other party's intention to ask this question. As a Westerner who is prone to hormonal sparks in her bones, Gwyneth still believes in love at first sight. However, she felt that if she answered that way, Do you appear to be frivolous.

There was no urging on the other side. Gwyneth thought for more than half a minute before saying, No, I don't believe in love at first sight. Compared to this, I am more willing to accept the sincere feelings that have been cultivated through long-term relationships.
