I’m in Hollywood

In the shot, the girl hangs on Sam like a koala, kisses the man obsessively, and the two slowly fall to the sofa next to him. ↑,

This is over, Eric, who was sitting behind the monitor and staring at the screen after more than four hours, finally shouted, and everyone present, including the two protagonists who had just climbed up from the sofa, relaxed. Take a breath.

It was less than four minutes, and the script was only one page of footage. It took four hours to shoot. Everyone would inevitably feel anxious. However, Eric, who should be the most explosive, did not say anything. Of course, the people present did not dare to show impatience, and they just repeated the scene over and over again.

Eric looked at his watch and said, Let's be here today, it's already very late, we don't need to clean up here for the time being, go back to rest as soon as possible.

Before everyone could cheer for Mr. Director's thoughtfulness, Eric added: Don't be late tomorrow.

There was mourning all around, but no one dared to complain. After all, they all received enough overtime pay, and Eric must have work to do next, much more tired than them.

The crowd quickly dispersed, and after Eric and the assistant director checked the filmed materials and put them in the safe, more than half an hour had passed.

The shooting in Manhattan, New York, has been going on for nearly a month without knowing it, because Eric has ready-made films in his mind as a reference, so his progress in shooting has always been much faster than other Hollywood directors.

It's only been a month, and the filming progress of Ghost Love has been completed by two-thirds, and it may only take another ten days of filming. You can close the mirror. There is also news from time to time in Los Angeles. The production of the special effects for the film went well, and Eric watched some of the effects on a videophone.

The Instinct filmed in San Francisco was not so smooth. It wasn't because of the male and female protagonists. The performances of the two protagonists were very good. It was something else. There is a controversial scene about homosexuality that was reported by the paparazzi. This caused protests from gay organizations in San Francisco, and even some radicals once blocked the filming of the film.

Jeffrey had to personally contact the San Francisco Police Department for help. These days, Instinct has been filmed under the full-time protection of more than 50 police officers. For this, the crew had to pay the relevant San Francisco police department. A small sponsorship fee.

Firefly's first film Silence of the Lambs, which will be released in the summer, has been completed for more than a week. It is said that in order to complete the film as soon as possible, the crew had to be divided into three parts.

By the end of May, the film will be fully post-processed, however. Due to rush work, the cost of less than 20 million has increased to 25 million. Eric has yet to see a demo. But he believes that there is the original Jonathan Demme directed, and even the two leading actors have not changed in any way, this film should not be much different from the previous life.

According to the plan, the film will begin screenings and screenings by film critics in early June, and the official release date is scheduled for June 8. However, Robert Shea has only arranged 1,500 premiere theaters for the film.

Although Eric knew that it was Robert Shea who was crowding out resources for the film Sleeping with the Enemy that he personally directed, Eric didn't say much. After all, The Lamb is an R-rated bloody horror film. According to Hollywood's practice, this kind of film is either placed in the Easter period or at the end of the summer period. Now it is very lucky to be able to squeeze in the popular summer period. , As for 1500 theaters, it is not too little for a horror movie.

In addition to the movie, Eric gradually found that his own affairs gradually increased. Not only did he have to worry about the management of Firefly, but Pixar, Digital Domain, and even Cisco, had things that he needed to handle from time to time.

Although he has been focusing on fireflies, Eric has not reduced his attention to these companies. Because of sufficient financial support, the production of Toy Story has exceeded half of the production, and the Christmas file at the end of the year may not be able to catch up, but it must be To be able to catch up with next year's summer season, this version of Toy Story is much more refined than the one in my memory, and it has added a lot of details. The total length is not 81 minutes in the previous life, but increased to a relatively standard. At 90 Minutes, Eric believes that the appearance of Toy Story will certainly surprise the Hollywood film industry.

As for the digital field, Eric gave it to Stan Winston with confidence. He just arranged a financial director for the company to supervise the financial affairs of the digital field, and he did not interfere much in other aspects.

After going public in February, Cisco's stock price has skyrocketed. Although it slowed down after more than a month, after Cisco's first-quarter profit statement was released, the stock price rose again. The $70 million invested by Eric is now The value has exceeded 200 million, and there is no intention to stop. Many investment institutions have begun to regret transferring their original share subscription shares to Firefly Investments.

While paying attention to these things, in recent days, Eric has gradually found that the people around him have become a little strange, and occasionally look at him with strange eyes, as if planning something, this feeling is very subtle, he also I can't tell if it was my own delusion.

For example, today, the crew members are looking for reasons to ask for leave one by one, hoping that Eric can end today's filming an hour earlier, and at the same time, they have something to do, if one or two is okay, but everyone is like this, Eric If Ke can't realize anything, his IQ is really a problem.

Because of the resolute unanimous demands of everyone, Eric had to make a compromise. Anyway, after so many days of exhaustion, the film was almost finished, so he planned to comply with public opinion.

However, when the work was over, Eric still caught the photographer Nickel who wanted to leave: Nickel, tell me, what happened?

Nikkor looked at Eric strangely, as if he was reminding him, and felt a little weird. Faced with Eric's questioning, Nikkor looked around and saw that many people were looking here, he quickly shook his head and said. : Eric, I can't say, it will be killed.

If you don't tell me, I'll kill you now, Eric threatened.

Mr. Photographer stuck his neck and looked like he was dying. Anyway, he knew that Eric couldn't do anything to him.

Eric punched Nikkor in the chest: Okay, get out, I hope you don't cause any trouble for me.

Definitely not, definitely, Nikkor smiled and nodded, after walking a few steps, after confirming that Eric couldn't hear, Nikkor couldn't help but sigh: It's incredible, it's incredible, this kind of thing can be Forget, as expected of a workaholic. (To be continued.) u
