Eric didn't think about the two people's thoughts. Quentin and Lawrence didn't agree immediately, so he stopped talking about this topic. Anyway, as long as this cooperation is pleasant, Firefly will definitely be Quentin's first choice for cooperation. Looking at his watch, Eric continued: Let's put this matter down first, time is running out, let's talk about the script, I can invest in this movie, and the budget doesn't need to be limited to one million dollars. , you two can shoot as much as you want.

Quentin and Lawrence were a little hesitant about Eric's invitation to join Firefly, but seeing that the other party ignored it so easily, they both felt lost at the same time, keenly feeling that they had missed a rare opportunity and regretted it. Just didn't agree immediately. This kind of emotion made the two of them not even able to immediately reflect what Eric said. It was not until Eric finished speaking and raised his head to stare at the two people that Lawrence was the first to react and confirmed with joy: Eric Rick, are you serious?

Quentin also reacted at this time, and looked at Eric with the same surprise.

Eric nodded again: Of course it's true, but I have a few conditions.

The two of them immediately showed such expressions as they expected, and at the same time heaved a sigh of relief. If Eric was both soliciting and agreeing to invest as soon as he came up, but there were no additional conditions, it would be hell. The two just hope that Eric will not interfere too much with the production of the film.

First of all, the actors of the movie must all be selected from the agency UTA. Do you know UTA? Finally, Eric asked uncertainly. He seldom paid attention to the operation of UTA during this time, and only occasionally interacted with the card. Poole Sid made a few phone calls, and generally only knew that the situation of the brokerage company was very good, and the others were not very clear. Because of his growing reputation, in order to avoid suspicion, he rarely intervenes in the management of UTA. It's not that there is no media to criticize the UTA monopoly, but they have not made any waves. In fact, the anti-monopoly laws in North America are not as strict as imagined. Take the regulation that film companies could not operate vertical cinema chains due to the Paramount Act decades ago. This law is now There is not much binding force on the big film companies. Although it cannot be said to be in name only, among the North American theaters, just on the bright side, the number of theater screens owned by several major film companies has exceeded one tenth of the total number of screens. The theaters selected by the big film companies are definitely the best in terms of location and the like. This one-tenth of the theaters is almost the essence of all the theaters in North America, and the theaters that are secretly controlled by the big film companies are larger. This is all the result of the federal government turning a blind eye, because the Paramount Act, although it cut off the monopoly of the big studios, also caused a great blow to the Hollywood film industry. Now that Hollywood films are developing rapidly, their profits are getting bigger and bigger, and they even have a huge influence all over the world. Under such a good situation, the big film companies will spread their tentacles. If there is no strong force intervening, the federal government will also I won't be so stupid that another riot will break the good situation.

Hearing Eric's question, Lawrence Bender nodded quickly and said, Of course, of course I know, Lawrence and his best friend looked at each other before saying, This condition is fine.

Also, the script also needs some revisions... After Eric finished speaking, Quentin immediately showed a displeased look, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously. Eric just smiled slightly: Don't worry. Well, I am very satisfied with the content, but the name of Seven-color Robbers is too strange, I thought of another good name.

While Quentin breathed a sigh of relief, Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief. If Eric wanted to slash the script, Lawrence was very worried that his best friend would come out to oppose and ruin the cooperation. Eric just There is nothing unacceptable in proposing to change the title of the film.

Eric lowered his head and picked up the pen, wrote two words directly on the script and handed it to the opposite side.

Quentin and Lawrence brought their heads together and said in unison, Rservoir-Dogs?

Yes, Reservoir Dogs, Eric showed a slightly wicked smile: I think this name is very suitable for the plot. All the characters in the story are Reservoir dogs in my opinion, don't they?

This time, Lawrence Bender looked at Quentin. Quentin stretched out his index finger and scratched his wide forehead a few times. After a little entanglement, he nodded reluctantly: Okay, let's call it Reservoir Dogs. He In fact, I also feel that this name is much better than the original one, but, as the author of the script, the movie's name was directly modified by the young man on the opposite side, which is quite depressing.

One more thing, I think seven robbers is a bit too much, six is ​​good, I read the script, and three of them died directly, and because of this, it also added several paragraphs of dialogue to the plot, which seems a little redundant. , of course, here I am just making a suggestion, whether you are willing to modify it is up to you. Eric said again, this little suggestion was just a temporary idea, completely to make this classic B-level film more in line with the previous life version. If Quentin doesn't want to modify it, it's nothing. The highlight of this script is the non-linear narrative structure.

If everything is straightened, it will be a very boring thing: a gang boss called several robbers with code names to rob a jewelry store and diamonds, only to be betrayed by undercover and surrounded by the police, and a few died in the shootout. The survivors fled into the warehouse, started a series of confrontations, and finally broke out in infighting, and everyone perished.

That's all.

The advantage of the movie is that it can use a variety of narrative methods to show a company that is mediocre to the extreme in a very interesting way.

I'll consider it, Quentin nodded when he saw that Eric was really just a proposal. Although his first reaction was not to change, he didn't expressly refuse. As for what happened in the end, he decided to go back and discuss with his best friend. discuss.

Then, I have no problem here. Eric leaned back comfortably on the chair and looked at the two of them: Do you have any problems?

Quentin pulled the script over and pressed it under his hands before asking, Eric, about...about the film director?

Eric shrugged with a smile: Since I agreed to the investment, it must be the same as agreeing to your previous conditions. I will not interfere in the content of this film at all, you can let it go, and the final editing rights belong to you. He didn't have any expectations for this movie at the box office. In his memory, this movie was very famous, but it didn't get any amazing box office, but it made a few good actors, and Eric's favorite was also It is precisely this, as long as Reservoir Dogs uses all UTA actors, even if they only gain some fame in the end and fail to recover the cost, it will be worthwhile for Eric.
