I’m in Hollywood

Thinking of the actor, Eric suddenly remembered that Michael Madsen, who played Mr. Jin in his previous life, was Virginia's brother. Although he has known Virginia for more than half a year, Eric has never changed his mind. He just learned from the chat with the girl that Virginia has a very good relationship with her brother. Although Michael Madsen in memory looks like a rude man, as if he was born to play the villain, but in Virginia In the narrative, Eric knows that Michael Madsen is a very versatile person. He has worked as a magician, likes photography, and loves to write poetry. Compared with the actor, it is more like a side business to make ends meet.

Although I have never met each other yet, since Virginia is his own woman, Michael Madsen can also be regarded as his own, and it is Eric's consistent principle that fat water does not flow to outsiders.

I asked the script from Quentin to confirm the color, and Eric said directly: In this way, Quentin, I just have a good candidate to recommend to you for the role of Mr. Jin. I believe you will be satisfied.

Seeing Eric's smile as if he was dissatisfied and nothing, Quentin Tarantino knew in his heart that even if he was dissatisfied, he had to be satisfied.

However, Quentin was overjoyed that Eric just offered the condition of not interfering in the production of the movie content. There is nothing unacceptable to inserting a person directly. According to the rules, Eric is an investor, even if all the actors are selected. There is no problem.

No problem, Eric, I believe the person you recommended must be a good one, Quentin replied with a smile. A few people were about to continue chatting when someone knocked on the door of the lounge, and a staff member came in: Director Williams, the time has come.

Eric looked at his watch and stood up: That's it.

Quentin and Lawrence also stood up quickly and shook hands with Eric again, but they were a little overwhelmed after that. What's next?

Eric, who was about to leave in a hurry, saw the appearance of the two and patted his forehead with a smile: Sorry, I've been too busy recently, and I'm a little lost, come with me.

After calling assistant Allen to explain, Eric said to the two: This is Allen, my assistant, he will take you to see Mr. Jeffrey Hansen, you can discuss specific matters with him. .

After sending the two away, Eric was about to come back to work when the little girl suddenly came out and came to him.

Eric was a little surprised: Why haven't you left yet?

Drew seemed to be a little unhappy at first. He was even more angry when Eric said this. He retorted with his little hands on his hips: Why should I go, I just won't go!

Eric shrugged. Anyway, the little girl followed the rules when she visited the Dark War studio a few days ago: Okay, it's up to you, just don't make trouble.

Well, Eric, I don't think they like me very much, the girl stepped forward and put her arms around Eric to the work area of ​​the studio, and whispered in his ear. When she was on the crew of Dark War, she was treated like a little princess, below Eric, there was nothing she couldn't instruct. But not only did she not know the staff here, but she was also a little distant from her. Although they were polite, they maintained a vague distance.

Eric greeted and let the crew begin preparations, before rubbing the little girl's head and explaining with a smile, You don't understand this? Jenny's father is the producer of this TV series, everyone here It's all from John, and Jane is the princess here, she doesn't like you, and of course these people will alienate you.

Well,

What a snob! The girl pouted.

It's just the natural reaction of people to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. It doesn't even count as office politics. If they are too close to you, they may be inexplicably wearing small shoes, Eric said with a smile and sat down on the director's chair, watching He walked around the vicinity to prepare for the shooting, and took the shooting log handed over by the assistant.

In fact, the reason why Drew is alienated here is mainly because Aniston is too popular in the crew. Although Xiaoyi also has personal likes and dislikes, she is very good at making friends. Some people like her very much, and because of Xiaoyi's father as a producer, it is not uncommon for the Friends crew to alienate Drew, Aniston's potential 'love rival'.

In comparison, although Drew is also very sociable, his personality is a bit more perverse. Before Eric appeared, a girl who was very self-aware was usually not qualified and strong to show this side of her personality, but now With Eric's support, Xiao Nizi seems to be no longer so restrained in her actions. When the Dark War crew visited the class, she behaved like a spoiled little princess. When he was nervously filming the movie, he was able to carry the six-figure camera around with the crew, and only this girl could do it without being blasted out.

But Eric is not worried that this favor will make the girl out of control. He knows that Drew actually understands what he is doing. The girl just lacked the favor she should have received when she was a child. Once she got it from Eric These things have become a bit 'greedy', always wanting to get more and make up for more when I can still act like a spoiled child, when I am still not an adult legally.

Forget it, I'll go back, the girl stood up with Eric's body, since she was not welcome here, the girl didn't want to change the situation: Eric, you promised me last night. Is it done?

What's the matter? Aniston, who was holding the script, came over and asked Eric with a slight frown when he heard Drew's words.

On the table in the study, you can read it yourself. I wrote a lot on a whim. You can choose one and operate it yourself. Eric said, and made a look at Xiaoyi Niu to explain to you later. .

Drew smiled sweetly, and suddenly leaned down in front of Aniston, kissed Eric on the cheek, leaving a striking lipstick mark, before twisting his little butt and turning away.

Wear so little, it's like a street girl on the side of the road at night, Xiaoyi Niu said as she looked at Drew's back, her tone was sour, the girl was already in her early sixties. With milky white skin that many women envy, Aniston, who has dark skin, is a little jealous.

As if feeling something, Drew, who was about to reach the door of the studio, suddenly turned around, opened the small parasol in his hand, wore heart-shaped sunglasses, tiptoed around in style, and then walked backwards towards Annie Stone grimaced and stuck out his little pink tongue.

While this situation made Xiaoyi girl angry, it also caused many crew members who saw this situation to be stunned. The people present were people in the film and television industry who had seen Kubrick's Lolita. There are not a few people, the little girl is wearing a T-shirt and hot pants, showing her pink arms and fair legs, plus the strangeness added by black nail polish on her toes, every move, that kind of woman The style of the girl and the mischievousness of the girl made all men with normal hormones jump in their hearts.

It's so frustrating, Xiaoyi said to Eric with a depressed face, Are you sure you sent her to a Catholic school, not some other place?

Eric smiled and took Aniston's little hand: Okay, Jenny, don't be angry, Drew is like this, it's not like you haven't seen it, by the way, what do you have to do with me?

Aniston pointed to Eric's cheek: You wipe the lipstick mark on your face first.

Eric was slightly embarrassed to find a tissue and wiped his face, and asked the little girl to confirm. Aniston reluctantly discussed the script in her hand with Eric. She felt that she had some good ideas.

For the next few days, the filming of Friends continued in an orderly manner, during which Eric had a meal with Miramax's Weinstein brothers and talked a little about the acquisition. However, because the Weinstein brothers just released Steven Soderbergh's Sex, Lies and Videotape, which won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, and achieved good box office results, so the The price far exceeded Eric's expectations.

Coupled with the fact that Firefly has begun to make acquisitions in Robert Shea's new line, Eric has temporarily put aside the idea of ​​annexing Miramax. The reason why Miramax was thriving in the independent film circle in her previous life was that she was recruited by Disney. In addition to Soderbergh's Sex, Lies and Videotape which made Miramax famous, the biggest contributor was Quinn. Ting's Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and other works, and the latter is obviously more important. In the past life, because of Quentin's Pulp Fiction unexpectedly successful, independent films quickly attracted the attention of major film companies, and as one of them Outstanding, Miramax was able to develop rapidly.

But now, Quentin has defected to Eric. Now that the two sides have cooperated, Eric will definitely not push Quentin out again.

Well, now that Quentin is lost, Miramax's future prospects are hard to say. Although the other party can still say that he has the card of Soderbergh, Soderbergh has become famous since Sex, Lies and Videotapes. , After winning the Palme d'Or in Cannes with the youngest qualifications, it was silent for ten years without any works that could be produced, and the box office was a mess, and it didn't start to explode until after the new century. Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for Miramax to rise on the original trajectory.

The reason why Eric wanted to acquire Miramax at the same time as the acquisition of the new line was that the two brothers’ talents in various awards and public relations were the most important. The Weinstein brothers in their previous lives were called Oscar gold medal promoters. Therefore, Eric made up his mind to bring the two under his command. As for the film-picking vision that was praised by the other party, Eric's advantage was even greater in this regard. He had a lot of classic films that he had seen in his previous life in his mind.

I haven't won Miramax for the time being, and Eric is not in a hurry. Anyway, the trajectory of history has changed. Perhaps with the talents of the Weinstein brothers, we can still live nourished in the independent film circle, but want to As dazzling as the previous life, because of Eric's existence, this matter is unlikely. The development trajectory of the other party is at most like a new line, growing step by step. Then even if the other party develops for another ten years, Eric will have the opportunity to collect the other party and honestly publicize the Oscar for himself.
