I’m in Hollywood

After reading the script of Pretty Woman with the Moon carefully, Jeffrey said with some doubts: Eric, I still think this story is too perfect, it's like a fairy tale of a prince and Cinderella. What do you think? Will the audience like a fairy tale of a prostitute? Even famous literary works like Ball of Suet and La Traviata have tragic endings.

Eric said in his heart that what I was going to write was a perfect fairy tale.

The original script of Pretty Woman is actually a black drama called 3000, which reflects the living conditions of prostitutes in Los Angeles through a sex transaction of $3,000 between the male and female protagonists.

It's just that during the filming process, due to the sufficient budget, it was repeatedly revised by the director and the producer, and finally turned into a romantic comedy. The most surprising thing is that this changed film even got 170 million yuan. The US dollar box office in North America has caused many male and female stars who refused to play because of the black style of the original script to beat their chests. At the same time, it also made Julia Roberts brilliant.

The plot of the prostitute in the beginning of the film was filmed according to the original script, so the audience in the previous life watched the entire movie, and in retrospect, they would find that the plot was out of tune with the romantic style of the entire movie.

Jeffrey, aside from the rest, what do you think of Vivian's image in the script?

After all, it's just a text description and has not been shown through pictures, so Jeffrey pondered for a while before saying: He has a straightforward personality, a cheerful personality, and a bit vulgar but it seems very natural. Even if he falls into the dust, he still has his own little persistence...

Eric patiently listened to Jeffrey's long list of insights before he said: Jeffrey, maybe you didn't notice that when you just described Vivian, the corners of your mouth were upturned, indicating that you have something in your heart. I don't hate this girl who has fallen into the dust, and I even like her a little bit.

Jeffrey just subconsciously expressed his feelings for Vivian, and didn't pay attention to the details Eric said: This... do I have it?

Eric nodded affirmatively: Of course, so, since you don't hate Vivian, then the movie is shot, and the audience will definitely like this girl.

Jeffrey nodded, and quickly raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction: What do you mean by not even hating me... Am I a very harsh person in your eyes?

Eric hurriedly denied: Of course not, you're just a little long-winded.

...

Eric patted Jeffrey's shoulder with a smile: Don't be depressed, older people will be a little long-winded, so don't take it to heart.

Jeffrey glared at Eric depressedly: Well, you are the boss, and it turns out that your vision is much stronger than mine. Now that you have decided, when will we start preparing?

Of course, the sooner the better. It's best to complete the preparation and casting before Christmas, and start the film immediately after the New Year. This movie is very suitable for release during Valentine's Day.

Jeffrey lowered his head and counted the time: The Valentine's Day schedule is really suitable for this movie, but Eric, is it too rushed, at that time, Home Alone hasn't even been released yet?

Eric shook his head: Jeffrey, you have also seen the speed at which I made Home Alone, so more than one month of Pretty Girl is enough, we can negotiate with Fox, post-production It's time to start publicity work.

So,

When are we going to start casting, do you have a plan?

Eric said: I decided to use Richard Gere as the male lead. The first choice for the female lead is Sophie Marceau, Jeffrey, so I need you to help me find Sophie Marceau's contact information. Then send her an invitation. If the other party does not agree, use Julia Roberts. As for other supporting roles, we will wait until the agency is acquired. Some supporting roles in the film are quite outstanding, and they cannot be cheap for outsiders.

Eric, Sophie Marceau, Sophie Marceau, is that how they fight? Is she the French actor?

Of course, it's the one who played The First Kiss. Sophie Marceau's image fits Vivian very well, but I don't know if the other party will accept the invitation. After all, you should have heard about her.

Okay, I'll send the invitation as soon as possible. If the other party declines, Eric, I think Meg Ryan is also good, and as for Julia Roberts, it's the waiter who showed up at your house that night, long. A bit...isn't it inappropriate?

In his memory, Meg Ryan belonged to the generation of American Sweethearts before Jennifer Aniston. Eric recalled some of the other's movies, such as the famous Sleepless in Seattle, and the image of the other party was really good. However, since he has decided to make Julia Roberts popular, plus the factors of his previous life, Eric will of course not give the opportunity to others.

Jeffrey, trust me, that's it. I chose Julia Roberts, I have my own considerations. By the way, contact Kapoor Sid, the owner of the Sid agency, as soon as possible.

Jeffrey took a page of information handed over by Eric, looked at it and said: Eric, Kapoor Sid is indeed very capable, I heard that several A-level projects of CAA in the past two years are his own. It was operated. It was only because he had a conflict with Michael Ovitz that he was kicked out by CAA. CAA is now very powerful in the entertainment industry, so we should not deliberately anger Michael Ovitz.

Eric sneered in his heart, he has always been a little uncomfortable with CAA signing Stuart Runkel so quickly. Although Michael Ovitz has now been called the most powerful person in Hollywood by some media, CAA can only last five or six years. When the second half of the 1990s began, CAA still monopolized many star resources. , but in front of the gradually formed media group, it is no longer as beautiful as before.

Moreover, compared with himself and CAA, he is still just a 'little shrimp', so it doesn't matter if he is offended or not. Although CAA monopolizes many superstars, Eric is confident that he can create superstars.

Let's just decide, Jeffrey, we're just little shrimp now, and the CAA doesn't bother to pay attention to us.

Jeffrey shrugged helplessly: Okay, as you wish.

...

Retaining Jeffrey for lunch, Eric was about to go to the study to write Resident Evil when the phone in the living room suddenly rang.

Hello, this is Williams' house? Eric answered the phone, but placed the microphone slightly away from his ear. He has received several harassing calls in the past few days, and even a guy answered the call. It was just a mad scolding that made Eric's eardrums numb, and Eric even considered whether to change the number.

The other party was silent for a while, Eric thought it was another harassing call, and when he was about to hang up, a voice came from the microphone: Hello, Eric.

Hearing the familiar voice, Eric leaned on the sofa with the phone in his hands excitedly: Hi, Annie, I always wanted to explain to you what happened that morning, I have nothing to do with Drew, I drank that night. I'm so drunk, it's just that little girl Drew doing the trick.

This... this has nothing to do with me, we... we have all broken up?

In an apartment building in Manhattan, New York, Aniston listened to Eric's hasty explanation, his voice stuttered, and he obviously struggled a little inside, and at the same time had a little resentment towards the slow guy on the opposite side.

On the third day she came to New York, Drew found her contact information from some unknown source and explained the situation to her that day.

As for the hateful guy on the other side, for so many days, he has neither come to him nor contacted him. If it weren't for a very important thing today, Aniston swore that he would never contact this bastard in his life.

If Eric knew what Aniston was thinking, he would definitely be wronged. Since that day, a series of events have followed, exhausting Eric's torment, and now he does not dare to go out at will, where else? Kung fu deal with this.
