I’m in Hollywood

Eric took Drew and saw from a distance that Spielberg was chatting with an unfamiliar guest by the floor-to-ceiling window facing the sea, so he walked up. Seeing Eric walking towards Spielberg, the guest greeted Eric and took the initiative to leave.

Eric raised his glass to Spielberg and asked, Steven, how's the filming of Captain Hawk, I heard Sony built nine large studios specifically for this film?

Spielberg's interest in this topic does not seem to be very high, although he personally visited Eric and obtained some feasible amendments, but as Eric rejected Spielberg's investment proposal, the script There is a big flaw in itself. As the shooting progresses, Spielberg is obviously more and more aware of these. Maybe Captain Hawk will not lose money, but it will hurt his personal reputation.

It's okay, if there is no accident, it will be closed in May, Spielberg said, looking at Drew hanging on Eric's body, showing a slight smile: Dru, sixteen years old, Gwyneth has a cameo role in Captain Hawk, when are you going to remake the movie?

Drew said: I'm not going to make movies anymore, Godfather, I'm going to learn to be a filmmaker, and I can help Eric in the future.

Spielberg also heard some rumors about The Silence of the Lambs, but he, like many others, fully attributed this to Eric, and did not believe that a few women would make such a film. Excellent movie, said seriously: Filmmakers are not that good, you are still young. Not everyone in Hollywood is as good as Eric.

Eric added with a smile: Steven. In fact, the script of Silence of the Lambs was bought by Drew from someone else. Xiao Nizi's eyes are not bad, and the film production is also operated by a few of them. I just helped to read the script a few times.

Spielberg knew that Eric didn't need to lie about such a small matter, and looked at the little girl in front of him, showing a faint look of surprise: It's really surprising.

Eric patted Drew lightly on the back and said, Drew, you and Steven haven't seen each other for a long time. There must be a lot of topics to talk about. I'll go socialize with other guests.

Although it is a nominal godfather and goddaughter relationship, the relationship between Drew and Spielberg has actually been very sparse because of the past. If it weren't for Eric's sake, Spielberg wouldn't be at Drew's birthday party today. Little Nizi knew that Eric was trying to mend her relationship with Spielberg in order to accumulate contacts for her future development, so she obediently stepped forward to hold Spielberg's arm and said, Godfather, let's go. Take a look at the outdoor swimming pool, where the air is very good, and I designed and decorated it myself.

Spielberg waved to Eric,

With a smile, she followed the strength of the little girl and walked out.

Eric watched the two leave. Feeling a little hungry, I was going to get something to eat. I saw a chubby fat man very flexibly approached before the other approachers.

Harvey, how do you feel tonight, is it easier than those PR parties? Eric greeted the other party with a smile, and pointed to the long table with the buffet not far away.

Of course, I don't have to talk to those stubborn old men here, Harvey Weinstein replied with a smile, and when he came to the long table, Harvey graciously helped Eric get one The dinner plate, I took one myself, and picked up the food on the plate.

After taking the food, Eric and Harvey found a table and sat down together, jokingly said, Actually, there are quite a few old men in the association here, if they listen to what you just said, those efforts will be in vain. .

Knowing that Eric was joking, Harvey couldn't help but look around, put his mind at ease, and said, Eric, you scared me, this awards season, I have spent more than more money on public relations. Seven figures.

I heard that Miramax released five of the six best foreign language film nominations this year, and you guys are so pretty.

It's a pity that there are no important nominations, Harvey shook his head and sighed, obviously very dissatisfied with the result.

Eric smiled, thinking of those in his previous life who had invested hundreds of millions of dollars in order to hit the Oscar for best picture, but finally returned empty-handed. It felt extremely ironic. It was simply because of the award, but he was stunned, but he didn't know about others. A few decades ago, the best foreign language film was regarded as a private place like a play. Eric was even a little fortunate that when he went to film school, he had missed the certain generation who were obsessed with European films and won the award.

Eric doesn't care about Miramax's own releases, but asks, How's the PR for Silence of the Lambs?

Harvey lowered his voice and said: Best picture and best director are 100 out of 10, but the best actor and actress cannot be guaranteed. Although Anthony Hopkins performed very well, he is only a newcomer to the Oscars. The competition this time is all those very qualified old men. Miss Jodie Foster just won the best actress the year before, so there is not much hope this time.

Eric nodded with satisfaction: Just do your best. I still believe in your brothers' public relations skills.

Harvey showed a regretful look and said: It would be nice if Silence of the Lambs was released by Miramax, so that we can develop a credible award plan for this film, the possibility of winning the best actor and actress bigger.

Eric just smiled and didn't take Harvey's words. Harvey's words were nothing more than hinting that he wanted to cooperate. However, Firefly, which has just completed the integration, is Eric's top priority. Even if he wants to cooperate, he will not cooperate with a small company like Miramax.

Harvey also saw what Eric meant, and felt a little regretful. Although the two brothers have figured out more and more ways to PR Oscar, Eric seems to have despised Miramax.

Since Eric has no intention of cooperating for the time being, Harvey does not dare to be too entangled, but just said that Eric can contact him at any time if he has the intention of cooperating.

The two chatted casually. After a while, Elizabeth also came over with a dinner plate, sat down on Eric's left hand, and joined the chat between the two. Most of the topics were still about Silence of the Lambs. (To be continued..)
