I’m in Hollywood

???

The car slowly drove into the parking lot of Jiaojiao Manor. The driver turned his head and glanced and found that Eric was closing his eyes, so he patiently turned off the engine without disturbing Eric. Loving novels.しωχ520. But Eric, who felt that the surroundings were completely quiet, quickly opened his eyes, looked out the car window, and said, I'm so sorry, Carl, have I slept for a long time?

The driver turned his head and said, Not long, Mr. Williams, we just got home two minutes ago.

Eric got out of the car and took a deep breath of the cool and humid air on the coast of Malibu at night, and his tired body felt a little refreshed.

The driver named Carl came out and said, By the way, Mr. Williams, the doorman just said that Miss Kidman came over in the evening.

I see, you go to rest, Eric finished, took out his trench coat and briefcase from the car, and walked towards the villa.

Walking into the hall, the lights on the walls were slightly lit. Eric walked to the corner of the hall and saw Nicole lying on the side of the two-seater sofa. She seemed to be asleep with the pillow on her back.

The girl was wearing a thin light beige knitted sweater, her chest undulating slightly as she breathed, and her legs wrapped in dark jeans were slender and attractive. Eric took a few glances. Although he was a little moved, he didn't bother Ni. But, it's ten o'clock now, and Nicole must have been waiting for him for a long time.

He took a thin blanket next to him and covered it with the girl. Eric went to the bar in the corner and poured himself a glass of wine. He sat at the small coffee table on the other side, and took out a stack of documents from the briefcase he brought back to continue reading. up.

Because Eric will go to Oklahoma to shoot Tornado after the Oscar, and the shooting cycle will take up to three months. If everything goes well, the film will not be closed until the end of June, so Eric has to take advantage of myself in Los Angeles. Assault to deal with various affairs of Firefly.

If he is content with the status quo, Eric can decentralize more vigorously. Anyway, with his current net worth, even if he does nothing, he will be comfortable enough to live a lifetime. But this body is only twenty years old now. It is the moment of energy, Eric does not want to live so drunkenly, and, as a 'passer' in this time and space, Eric is now completely a player's mentality, he wants to see himself as a player in' curtain call' before. How many levels can be raised, and whether it can dominate the entire plane copy, it is actually a very interesting thing to think about.

Time passed minute by minute, and the only light in the area illuminated by the lights was the slight sound of the paper turning pages. Maybe I slept enough, or maybe I felt the coldness of the night. Nicole, who had been lying on the sofa, moved, opened her eyes, pulled over the thin blanket beside her and stared blankly for a moment, only when she heard a sound not far away, she propped herself up and looked in that direction.

Nicole was lying on the back of the sofa,

Stretching his head and looking at Eric, who was sitting on the single sofa with his legs up and looking at the information in his hand intently, after a while, the girl asked, Eric. What time is it now?

It's almost twelve o'clock, Eric turned his head and glanced at Nicole, because he had just woken up. There was a touch of blush on the girl's cheeks, and a few strands of messy hair scattered on her forehead. She had a unique style. No wonder many literary works always describe the coquettishness of a woman when she just woke up. At this time, Nicole really looked charming and charming.

Feeling that Eric's eyes stayed on his face for a while, Nicole smiled. He reached out and brushed a strand of hair that fell on his cheek, sat up, put on high heels and walked to Eric's side.

Eric gave way to the side. The girl was not polite, and squeezed directly into a single sofa with Eric. The two of them are relatively thin people, so it doesn't look crowded when they are on a sofa, but they are connected by a thin cloth, and the faint body fragrance on the woman's body makes Eric feel A little distracted, he couldn't help hugging Nicole, reached out and got in, rubbing lightly on Nicole's slender waist.

Nicole twisted her waist with a smile, but did not stop her, leaned over to Eric and looked at the document in his hand: What is this?

Eric said: Pixar handed over the script for the second 3D animation.

Saying that, Eric picked up another folder and handed it to Nicole: This is the first draft of their character design, take a look, what do you think?

Nicole opened the blue folder and saw a lot of insect shapes drawn on the paper. After reading it quickly, the girl said, It's very cute, I don't know about the rest.

Just think it's cute. When I handed this story idea to John and the others, they said that insects in reality are not very lovable.

Nicole gently hugged Eric's arm and said with a smile: I think as long as it is a story you come up with, it must be very good.

Have such confidence in me, maybe it won't be long before someone will get bad luck because of this blindness.

That must be because they didn't do it well.

Um... Ericella asked in a long voice, suddenly teasing: Little mouth is so sweet today, this style is not the same as you used to, is there anything else you need me to help with?

Nicole didn't feel guilty at all, and said with a smile: Is the mouth very sweet, do you want to try it?

Saying that, the girl brought her rosy lips together.

Eric smiled and kissed Nicole on Nicole's lips. He pretended to lick his lips before judging: It's really a little sweet, there's really nothing wrong. Let's talk while I'm happy now?

I really don't have anything to do, but someone wants me to help lead the way. I don't think you will agree, so if you don't ask, I won't say it.

Eric quickly turned his thoughts. Nicole is now filming Captain Hawk. If it was Spielberg, he would definitely not let Nicole bring flowers to himself. The relationship between the two is not bad, Spielberg Greg will definitely call himself. Then, apart from Spielberg, it can only be another person. Don't forget, Nicole's current manager is Pie Kingsley, and Pie Kingsley is also Tom Cruise's manager.

Wouldn't it be Cruise? Eric asked tentatively.

Nicole looked slightly surprised, nodded and said, Yes, but I didn't see him. It was Jinsley and Ms. Paula Wagner who invited me to dinner yesterday. That's what they said.

Knowing that the girl said this, Eric wanted to show that he did not contact Cruise in private, smiled and asked, Is it related to the copyright of Dark War, or say. Cruise wants to win Dark War The copyright of the other half of Zhan?

This time Nicole was even more surprised: How did you know?

It's easy to guess, Eric said.

In fact, this is a 'learning from the past'. In my memory, Cruise owns half of the copyright of the Mission Impossible movie series. Mission Impossible. Cruise gets more than Paramount.

If Cruise hadn't owned half of the copyright of Mission Impossible, Paramount would have kicked out this arrogant guy long ago. Although Cruise and Paramount had a fight in the previous life, but because of copyright issues, Pai Ramon in order to restart the Mission: Impossible series. He had to squeeze his nose and reconcile with Cruise again.

Now that the film copyright of Mission Impossible has been instructed by Eric to take down Drew ahead of time, it is also reasonable for Cruise to bring his idea to the Dark War series after he went it alone.

Hearing Eric say this, Nicole said: It's strange, if I can't guess, you must have heard something.

Eric didn't bother about this issue anymore, but said: Tell me, I'm quite interested. How does Cruise want to get half of the copyright of Dark War, although he is now worth hundreds of millions US dollars, but I think a hundred million dollars in cash. Even if you squeeze him alive, you can't squeeze it out?

It seems that Cruise's production company has pulled in external investment. Paula said yesterday that if you agree, you can discuss in person. They plan to pay part of the cash and do some exchange of benefits, such as Cruise helping Firefly to shoot a few movies. some type of.

If the historical trajectory does not make any changes. Cruise's pay, or the pay of Hollywood stars as a whole, didn't explode until 1995. At that time, the 20 million salary club was established, and the first-line stars gradually began to popularize the salary model of the basic salary plus the share. In comparison, the $15 million salary of Schwarzenegger, Stallone and others is not an exaggeration at all. Eric occasionally thinks about whether he can stop the crazy salary increase trend of stars, because Hong Kong stars across the ocean have already suffered from the crazy salary increase. In the past two years, the movie market there has been because of the star's popularity. The sky-high remuneration has caused most of the production costs to be spent on hiring stars, resulting in a large number of bad films. In addition, Southeast Asian countries are still suppressing Hong Kong films. Hong Kong films are now on the verge of collapse.

If there is no restraint, the unrestricted increase in the remuneration of Hollywood stars is likely to result in such a result. Under the circumstance that the international market continues to expand, perhaps producers can still pay such high remuneration. Once the market is finalized, Even began to shrink, then Hollywood movies will undoubtedly embark on the 'old road' of Hong Kong movies.

Before Eric's rebirth, the North American film market had been stagnant, the European market had been developed, and only one Asian film market was still expanding, but once the capacity of the Asian market reached its peak, then The development of Hollywood will also enter a bottleneck.

Nicole watched Eric suddenly stop talking, waited quietly for a while, and couldn't help but ask, What are you thinking, suddenly so ecstatic?

No matter how much you think about exploiting you little actors, the capitalists will have a hard time.

Ni can joke for Eric again, hehe laughed a few times, and then said, Am I going to tell Paula directly tomorrow, don't you agree with this matter?

Well, if they take the cash directly, it's not that I can't consider it. It's okay to cooperate. You should be able to find that there are few other big-name stars in Cruise's movies, because everyone doesn't like to work with Cruise. Cooperation, Cruise himself seems to be reluctant to cooperate with big names, this Dark War he plans to do it alone soon.

Then I'll tell him that, Nicole said, slightly lowered her eyes, stretched out a finger and gently rubbed Eric's arm for a while, then said, Eric, I heard that you Oscar this time. Don't have a girlfriend?

I'm going alone, Eric had to repeat what he had already said to several women: Sorry, Nicole, they've all inquired about it. But it looks like you didn't get nominated last year. work?

Nicole sighed regretfully, but did not bother, and replied: Pat helped me run a best photography award presenter, so I will go this time too.

Eric didn't want to continue this topic, and quickly asked: How is the filming of Captain Hawk?

It's alright, Nicole said disappointedly, but she quickly realized that her tone was likely to make Eric misunderstand that she was having a little temper because of the red carpet, and explained: I feel, Mr. Pierberg seems to be... anxious, and these days, he's often even announcing filming for no reason. Maybe, maybe...

Nicole wanted to say that maybe it was a mistake to fight for this role in the first place, but after thinking about it, she still didn't say it. This role was bought from Eric after crying once, and now she can't express her disgust. I can only swallow this bitter fruit silently. Judging from the current situation, Captain Hawk does not seem to be of much help to my acting career.

Thinking that half of the copyright of Eric's Dark War can be sold for a price of 100 million US dollars, Nicole had a temporary thought: Eric, you say, how about I also study filmmaking?

Why did you suddenly think of doing this? Eric asked.

Nicole blushed, she couldn't say that this was more profitable, although she did think so, but deep down, Nicole did not envy the tg film company established by Julia, Drew and Elizabeth. mean. You must know that after the film Silence of the Lambs is released through various channels, it can bring more than 100 million US dollars in profits for the three women. And according to her own current salary, even if she maintains the scale of 5 million, she still needs to shoot 20 movies to make so much money. Besides, although the actors are very beautiful, in Hollywood, the producers who really have the power to leave are the producers who hold various powers.

I think, I just want to try it all of a sudden.

Eric thought for a moment, then suddenly gave a bad smile and said, It's not impossible, if you can pull two people to your side, I will support you to set up a film company. (To be continued)
