I’m in Hollywood

?

Mr. Jaffe, since a movie from the perspective of ghosts such as Frightening Island has been successful, then I think a romance movie with ghosts as the protagonist must have a lot to do...

The middle-aged man with a pair of glasses, who looked in his forties, had not finished speaking when the man he called Mr. Jaffe interrupted him: Okay, Bruce, I know you've been selling your That script, but I'm really not interested in it, I'm working on another movie recently.

Others standing at the table echoed: Bruce, forget it, don't you think that a romance movie with a ghost as the protagonist looks ridiculous, and it's still a tragedy.

A lot of memorable stories are tragedies, countered Bruce.

What's the use of a deep memory, a brown curly-haired man followed up: I've also heard about your script. It uses a lot of special effects, and the investment will not be less than 20 million US dollars. This is already a medium-to-high investment. It's a big adventure for the producers. Bruce, since you're interested in ghosts or supernatural phenomena, you should put more effort into writing some horror scripts.

Rather than a romance flick figuring out what ghosts are, like Frightened Island.

When Eric approached, he just heard these words of the brown-haired man, and his heart suddenly moved.

'Ghost romance', 'Bruce', just these two keywords, Eric was already sure 70% in his heart. The screenwriter of the tear-jerking Ghost Love in his previous life was not named Bruce. Joey Robin? And, count the time, if he hadn't shown up, the movie might have already started production.

Although the director of Island Cry is Jonathan Demme, but this party. There is no doubt that Eric is the one who attracts the most attention, so he just approached the long table where the buffet was placed, and the group of people who were chatting immediately surrounded him. He introduced himself enthusiastically.

Eric put away the business cards handed over by these people, and politely distributed his work cards. Then he pretended to ask casually, I seem to have heard words like ghosts just now. What are you talking about?

Everyone just didn't know what topic to look for to have a close relationship with Erica, and when they heard him take the initiative to ask, the middle-aged man who was turned into Mr. Jaffe by Bruce immediately said: It's a script about a murdered bank clerk turned into a man. A story about protecting his girlfriend from being harmed by the wicked.

Eric remembered the self-introduction of the middle-aged man named Charles Jaffe, who seemed to be a vice president of Paramount, and thought that the other party must have been taught by Barry Diller's concept movie concept. from. In one sentence, the plot of Human Ghost Love is Over is summed up.

At the same time, Eric was even more certain of his guess. The middle-aged man with glasses who was squeezed out of the crowd must be Bruce Joy Robin, the screenwriter of The Ghost Story.

Although after entering Hollywood, Eric has repeatedly combed and recalled well-known films in the past few years, trying to win the shooting rights of some films as much as possible, but after some investigation, he found that many film copyrights have been overwritten. The studios got them, and some couldn't find them.

The Ghost Story is one of the scripts that can't be found. Before this movie, Bruce Joy Robin had no name in Hollywood, after Eric made some inquiries. Not even him was found.

In the end, Eric could only decide to take one step at a time, because Ghost Love was released in the summer of 1990, according to the general production process of movies in parallel time and space. This film should have started preparations this year, and the script must have appeared earlier, maybe it appeared before he crossed, so it is impossible for Eric to copy it and use it directly.

Eric didn't immediately show any interest in this script, glanced at Bruce Joy Robin inadvertently, and focused on the small talk with the group of people around him.

Don't look at how enthusiastic the executives of these big companies or well-known producers are to him now, with his experience in making all the movies that sell well, if he dares to show his interest in the script of A Ghost Story on the spot , then these people will definitely turn their faces and join the ranks of snatching the script.

Chatted for a while. Eric was separated from these people, and he did not have any communication with Bruce Joy Robin from the beginning to the end. Now that the other party has appeared, it will be much easier to find this person later.

But many things are always unexpected. Just as he walked away, Bruce Joy Robin chased after him in three or two steps: Mr. Williams...

Behind Eric, the red-haired middle-aged man who had just hit Bruce Joy Robin, saw his move, smiled and said to Charles Jaffe: It seems that Bruce is still not reconciled, go again. Tangled Williams.

Charles Jaffe took a deep look at the back of the middle-aged man chasing after Eric, and said, Brian, do you think Williams will like that script?

Who knows, but in Eric Williams' eyes, if you see that script... The red-haired middle-aged man named Brian stopped immediately, talking to Charles Jaffe. They looked at each other and then parted as if nothing had happened.

The two just nodded, and Charles Jaffe was the vice president of Paramount, and he was working at Warner. If Eric determines the potential of this script and competes, the two will definitely be rivals. Hearing the conversation between Charles and Brian, several people around turned their attention to Eric's direction.

Eric is also having a headache now. Bruce Joy Robin has already started to narrate the plot of The Ghost Story. What can he do now?

Pretend to ignore it without caring? After that party, he would let people come to the door with enthusiasm. Bruce Joy Robin is not a fool, but it will be more troublesome then.

Severely reprimanded the script? It is estimated that there may not even be opportunities for cooperation.

Neither of the first two methods will work, and if he expresses interest in the script on the spot...

With this thought, Eric couldn't help but look around. Many people have turned their attention to them, especially those who have just chatted.

These people are all human beings. As long as he dares to reveal what he thinks in his heart, he will fight after the fact. Among the wolves and leopards that are eyeing, Firefly can only be regarded as a thin hyena at most. (To be continued)
