I’m in Hollywood

Eric, didn't Firefly have another movie this year that didn't find the distributor? After chatting a few other things, Robert Shea unknowingly shifted the topic to the Firefly movie.

Eric looked around. Scent of a Woman was finally closed this month and has entered the post-production stage. He just saw Al Pacino because he was chatting with Robert Shea at the time. , Al just nodded to him from a distance.

But at first glance, although many people greeted him with their eyes, but he didn't see Al and others for a while, so he quickly turned his eyes back to Robert and said, Yes, but Smell the Fragrance Knowing a Woman is a film of the Austrian art. If it can win the award, the box office of this movie will definitely be good. If it can't win, it will be difficult to say. Although I have seen the film, Al's performance is very amazing. , but after all, there are still a lot of games in the Oscars, and it doesn’t mean that an excellent film will definitely win the award.”

Robert Shea knew that Eric did not trust his public relations contacts: Eric, I admit that in terms of contacts, I am definitely not as good as the six major film companies, but it does not mean that the other party can win awards because of it. With this advantage, Da Zuo has won several Oscar nominations to improve the box office and the sales of subsequent videotapes. Just like last year, you should have seen Working Girl, although that movie won a series of nominations. , but in the end got nothing. This is the result of Fox's PR. The real award must still be based on strength. Although PR is essential, it does not mean that PR represents everything. Eric, think again. If the Scent of a Woman is handed over to big companies for distribution. They must have other films to work on, so I won't focus all my energy on this film, but I can put all my resources and contacts into this film. Come up.

Eric hesitated for a moment.

Robert Shay knew that Eric had loosened up, and quickly said, Eric, didn't you find out? This year is a typical Oscar year.

Huh? Eric showed a puzzled expression, he vaguely remembered that there was such a statement. But it's just the kind of ignorant.

Robert Shea explained patiently: If you think about it, last year there was Dustin Hoffman's 'Rain Man.' There was Jodie Foster's 'The Defendant,' and 'The Accidental Traveler,' 'The Defendant'. Mississippi is Burning and Dangerous Relationships are a series of Oscar hit films, and the last Golden Globe Award drama heroine produced a three-yellow egg. For the first time, three people won the best actress at the same time. The status of the protagonist. That was the standard Oscar year. But this year is different, now two-thirds of the year has passed, and I don't even see a shadow of an Oscar hit, you might say those films It will definitely be at the end of the year, but I still pay attention to this aspect. In my memory, there will be no new works by well-known directors or well-known actors that will be released at the end of the year. So I am sure that this year will definitely be a small year for the Oscars. As you said, Mr. Al Pacino's performance in Smell the Scent and Know a Woman is very amazing. Then, in addition to the fact that he has won several Oscar nominations for Best Actor before,

It's easy to imagine what the end result will be.

Eric was lost in thought. He didn't care that Robert Shea directly ignored the possible actions of Pretty Woman and Dark War at the Oscars. He knew that when he was less than 20 years old, the film academy, which was still very conservative, would definitely not award him any awards, and it was a good result to be able to brush a few nominations and show his face.

What he was thinking about was what Robert Shea said about Oscar's young age. With Robert Shea's story, Eric also remembered more about Oscar's young age in his previous life. In my memory, Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman seems to have only won one Best Actor Award. Eric did not know who lost the Best Picture nomination. But this year, if it really is Oscar's young year. Smell the Scent and Know a Woman will definitely have the possibility of impacting the best picture at the Oscars.

Eric? Robert Shea waited for a while, but he couldn't help reminding Eric without seeing any response.

Eric suddenly retracted his thoughts when he heard his name, and accidentally shook his wrist, almost splashing red wine: Oh, sorry, Robert, I'm a little distracted.

Robert Shea asked, What do you think?

Huh? Eric didn't react for a while after being ranted by Robert several times.

About the release of Scent of a Woman? Robert Shea seemed to remind patiently.

Eric was a little tangled in his heart. If this year is Oscar's young year, it would be a safer way to hand over Scent and Know a Woman to the seven major operations.

Before the Weinstein brothers became the promoters of the Oscar gold medals, the big film companies still had an absolute advantage in the public relations of this award, but at the same time, he also knew that, as Robert Shea said, no one of the Big Seven did not. He will do his best to operate Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman, unless he gives up most of the benefits, but isn't winning the prize just for the benefit?

Eric was about to agree, but Al Pacino finally got out of nowhere and walked towards him. Eric remembered the promise he made to Al. This movie is to make Al. Pacino won best actor for the creation. Well, if you follow Robert Shea's advice, and because of the new line of firefly's merger, then you must take a certain risk in the PR of the awards, although the possibility is extremely small, but in case because of the butterfly effect, Al and Oscar again What if the best actor misses out? At that time, Al can't guarantee that there will be no estrangement with Firefly because of this incident. Eric personally still values ​​the partnership with Al Pacino. The 1990s was also a peak period for Al's acting career, and he maintained a good cooperation with the other party. Relationship, whether it is box office or awards, Firefly can have more benefits.

In this case, let the decision be pushed to Al. Although the possibility of the other party being fooled by Robert and finally agreeing is very high, if there is a very small probability event, Al is unlikely to be angry. Sprinkle on fireflies.

Robert, I personally agree with this matter, Eric said. Before Robert could show a happy expression, Eric said again: However, Scent of Scent and Knowing a Woman is for me to invite Alsham. The decision I made when playing Fengyue, although Al has now gained more because of Fengyue, but I can't ignore the original promise, so you want to keep the distribution rights of Smell the Scent and Know a Woman Next, I still need to be able to convince Al, oh look, he's here.

Eric put the tall glass on the tray of a passing waiter and walked towards Al Pacino: Al, long time no see.

Al Pacino hugged Eric warmly: Long time no see, Eric, you look a lot more mature and handsome, and make the little girls even more fascinated, don't forget to give us old men Men have a way to live.

Haha, can't you find a beautiful woman by your means? Eric joked with Al before introducing; Al, this is Robert Shea, Robert, this is Al.

Actually, you don't need to introduce us, we still know each other, Al said, and shook hands with Robert Shay: Hello, Robert, I believe it was a very correct choice to cooperate with Eric.

Robert Shea smiled. I hope so too.

Then, we just happened to talk about Smell the Scent and Know a Woman, let's talk, I'll go to the bathroom first. Eric pointed to the corridor not far away, although Al Pacino wanted to talk to Eric Ke talked a few more words, but looking at the direction of the other party's pointing, he had no choice but to nod his head.

Eric greeted the guests at random, walked slowly towards the entrance of the banquet hall, passed through the crowd, and just stepped into the corridor, a small red body bumped into him, and fell backwards with a tender cry. Rick hurriedly reached out and grabbed the girl and hugged him fully.

It's you, your name is... er, Gabe... Eric recognized the face at a glance, but after thinking about it, he didn't think of the other person's name the first time. Although the memory of the previous life was miraculously copied because of time travel, this body did not have the ability to remember it.

Gabriel Anwar.

The girl replied softly, she originally found out that it was Eric who was hugging her, and she was still a little happy, but when she saw that the other party didn't recognize her, she felt lost. She put her small hand on Eric's chest and forgot to let the other party let go. Own.

Eric just remembered that this is the girl who came to Los Angeles alone from the UK to audition when she met the girl in the audition Dark War, and she was also the one who remembered the amazing tango dance in Smell the Scent and Know a Woman. heroine.

A middle-aged man turned from the banquet hall into the corridor with his head lowered, and looked strangely at the man and woman hugging each other. Eric turned his head when he heard the movement, and the man recognized Eric's identity at a glance, smiled dryly, and shrank back. Eric recognized that it was a staff member of Firefly. Although the other party's reaction seemed to be a bit extreme, it is conceivable that he found that the boss was 'intimacy' with the woman, and the woman was obviously not the boss's real girlfriend. In this case, In order to prevent wearing small shoes, it must be avoided.

Just now, I'm really sorry for bumping into you, Miss Anwar, Eric was interrupted by this, and quickly let go of the petite girl from his arms, and subconsciously lifted the girl's hair that fell on his forehead.

No, it doesn't matter, the girl shook her head, and with the movement of Eric's fingers on her forehead, her cheeks flushed slightly.

However, Gabriel soon found out angrily that the inexplicable man apologized and walked away on his own.

Gently stomping her feet, the girl had to take the initiative to shout: Hello! (To be continued)
