I’m in Hollywood

Although Jim Carrey's high-grossing films emerge in an endless stream in memory, the most classic Jim Carrey masterpiece recognized by fans is the Geezer in Disguise in front of him.

The unhappy bank clerk, Stanley, accidentally picked up a mask that could give people superpowers, which caused a series of turmoil. Of course, the ending must be that the good guy wins the bad guy, and the lovers finally get married. Though fairly mediocre, Jim Carrey's wildly insane performance made the audience at the premiere roar with real laughter from time to time.

Eric stared at the pictures on the big screen and listened to the laughter from the audience in the theater from time to time. He couldn't help thinking that if it wasn't for the rise of special effects blockbusters, perhaps Jim Carrey would gain and win peace in Hollywood in the 1990s. Hong Kong Zhou Xingxing has the same status in the arena.

Of course, this is just a feeling. If a movie market can only accommodate the next star to dominate, it means that there must be a big problem in the movie market.

What are you thinking? Elizabeth asked in a low voice suddenly.

Some things, Eric replied vaguely, and then changed the subject: How is the preparation for Detective Plane?

Elizabeth was obviously a little dissatisfied with Eric's change of topic, and said perfunctorily: It's okay, it will definitely not delay the schedule.

Eric smiled, reached out and patted the girl's leg: Liz, don't do this, you know, I will tell you what I can tell you.

Elizabeth glanced around frantically. After confirming that no one was paying attention, he pushed Eric's hand away from his leg and said, Why can't I know something else?

Of course, it is impossible to tell others about your own memories of the future. Eric said: Everyone should have some space of their own.

Westerners usually attach great importance to sex, even between the most intimate couples. Therefore, hearing this sentence, Elizabeth's little depression dissipated a lot, and she snorted softly before asking: Hey. You How much box office do you think Greeks in Disguise can get?

Eric pointed behind him and said, Look at the reactions of these audiences. One hundred million is definitely no problem.

Most of the people who can attend the premiere are veteran movie fans specially invited by the film company. The movie has a good response among these people, so the reputation among ordinary movie audiences will definitely not be too bad.

Elizabeth was a little dissatisfied: It's only 100 million. The North American box office of Tornado is estimated to be 300 million. Now even the overseas box office has already reached 50 million, and it is estimated that the total overseas box office will not be much less than that of North America.

Then you should also look at the cost gap between the two films,

The cost of Tornado is 70 million, and the cost of Monster in Disguise is less than 30 million.

Elizabeth frowned: It always feels different.

If you're really excited, you can try to make a big-budget movie in two years, but don't cry if you fail.

Just try it.

Eric said with a smile: First declare, Firefly will not invest.

Hmph, you're just eccentric. You're really enthusiastic about investing in a documentary about a woman who has absolutely no chance of making money.

Eric knows. Elizabeth must be talking about the documentary about the Los Angeles riots that Catherine Bigelow is preparing. Because a lot of material is needed, Eric specially helped Catherine contact Fox, who had accumulated a lot of news materials during the riot. news site. It is not surprising that Elizabeth knew about this.

Eric has heard women's words condemning his partiality more than once, but he also knows that most of these are women's coquettish coquettishness, and he has never treated any of his own women badly.

Thinking of Fox, Eric suddenly thought of another thing: Speaking of this. I suddenly think of a movie Fox will release at the end of the month, it seems to be called Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

What's wrong?

Eric leaned over slightly. With a bad smile, he said, How about selling the copyright of this movie to Firefly, the price is free.

In my memory, Buffy the Vampire Slayer should have been filmed for about seven seasons. A TV series can be filmed for seven seasons. It is definitely a classic among classics. It appeared in 1992.

Seeing Eric's expression, Elizabeth immediately became more alert. She subconsciously thought of the movie copyright of Golden Jade Alliance that Eric once obtained from Fox. The movie copyright Firefly only cost a few million, but Because Sleepless in Seattle brought this old movie on fire, more than two million boxes of Golden Jade Alliance videotapes were sold, and Firefly earned tens of millions. Thinking of this, Elizabeth decisively refused: You Don't even think about it again.

Okay, Eric shrugged and sat up straight.

After a while, Elizabeth couldn't help being curious and asked, Hey, what do you want to do?

Sell me the copyright first, and I'll tell you, Eric said with a smile.

Hmph, if you don't say it, don't say it. I'll tell Fox when I turn around, and I won't give you the copyright of this movie.

Then let's cover it first, Eric said. Anyway, even if he got the right to adapt the film right away, Firefly has no plans to make more TV series for the time being. In addition to a few major blockbusters this year, Firefly has always There are also five or six small and medium-sized production movies, plus the TV shows of Friends, the company is already fully loaded. Perhaps, in a few years, after Firefly has its own TV station, it will be time to find a way to get it. Thinking of TV stations, Eric's thoughts shifted a lot. Now the three major TV stations are operating independently, and they have not merged with any of the six major TV stations, so it is a good time to acquire.

However, Eric knows that after the new century, the situation of the three major public television stations is not very good. The prosperity of the Internet is one reason, and more importantly, the rise of cable TV stations. therefore. He has been considering whether Firefly is focusing on developing cable TV stations or acquiring one of the three major companies.

When I saw Eric, he looked like he was flying out of the sky again. Elizabeth leaned over and kicked him with her calf before turning to the big screen without looking sideways.

Before I knew it, Grangers in Disguise had come to an end. Stanley and Tina stood side by side on the bridge, threw the magical mask into the river, and hugged with their loved ones.

When the surrounding applause sounded, Eric said to Elizabeth: I won't participate in the party that I'm waiting for. You can host it for a while.

No, Eric. It's just ten o'clock, before Elizabeth could answer, Drew's voice rang out on the other side.

Most of the party after the premiere was attended by the main creator of the crew and some guests who were specially invited to the premiere, and there were no important people to deal with. Eric was too lazy to join in the fun.

I still have things to do tomorrow, you can play, Eric patted the girl on the shoulder soothingly.

After the simple curtain call ceremony, Eric was about to leave the backstage, but Drew was sticking up with a small dress, followed by two small tails.

Hi Boob, Chrissy, Eric greeted the two girls. Seeing that Britney was not only wearing a school uniform, but also carrying a small schoolbag, she asked curiously, Isn't it summer vacation now? Are you still going to school?

I... I make up the class, Mr. Williams, Britney replied with a coy little look when she heard Eric talking to herself.

Although American schools do not have the tradition of making up summer classes, there are exceptions to everything. Britney and Christina are Disney's little actors. Usually I have to do a lot of homework, and it is normal to take supplementary courses in the summer. Although he realized what was going on, Eric still laughed and joked: I heard that those who take supplementary classes during the summer vacation are not good students.

Britney opened her mouth sternly, and suddenly had an idea and pointed to Christina beside her: Chris is also participating in make-up lessons.

Eric almost burst out laughing. The little girl obviously didn't hear him joking. She glanced at the beautiful Christina in a beautiful light blue dress. She didn't look like she came out of school at all. , reached out and rubbed the girl's little head: This is even less like a good student.

Of course, Christina could hear that Eric was making fun of them. She was neither flustered nor angry. She stuck out her little tongue cutely, and didn't mind Eric messing up her hair, shrinking her neck slightly, and slender His eyes narrowed slightly, like a charming kitten.

Seeing Christina's expression, Eric suddenly felt a sense of deja vu, and inadvertently glanced at Drew next to him, only to realize that Christina was obviously imitating Drew.

Hey, they are all little goblins.

It's so late, it's time for you to go back, I'll have someone send you off.

Ah? It was Britney who didn't have any scheming who spoke out. She thought that Drew would bring them back to live in the Beverly Hills mansion tonight.

Eric heard Britney's doubts and looked at Drew: What's the matter?

Drew hugged the two little girls and said with a smile, I'll take them to live with me, Eric, do you want to come?

Eric shook his head quickly: Forget it, if that's the case, then go back as soon as possible, don't play too late, don't forget to send them to class tomorrow.

Got it, long-winded like an old man.

Eric reached out and knocked on the door of Ya's head: Speaking of this, I haven't settled with you about the last time you taught little Emma.

Hehe, I heard that. Julia said you were embarrassed at the time.

Several people said, and came to the parking lot together. Drew just took the two little girls and squeezed into Eric's car for a ride on the grounds that he did not drive. There were two bodyguards in the front row. G had to squeeze in the back seat with the three girls.

Squeezed all the way to the door of Drew's mansion, Eric did not get out of the car, and drove the three girls down. After saying goodbye simply, he ordered the driver to drive home.

It wasn't until Eric's SUV disappeared that the three girls walked into Drew's mansion. Britney was heartless and only cared about joy, but Christina had some regrets because Eric didn't stay here. In her heart, the girl always hopes to spend more time with Eric, and to please this big Hollywood figure is much better than simply staying here for one night.

Is it quite similar to what I just learned? Walking down the corridor of the mansion, Drew put his arms around Christina's shoulders and said with a half-smile.

Ah, what? Christina tried to play dumb.

Drew reached out and pinched the girl's face: This is a compliment for you, you learned well.

Christina knew that she was caught imitating Drew's charming expression. She didn't know if Drew was really complimenting herself, she twitched the corners of her mouth nervously, and showed a pleasing smile: I just think, like that, It's so pretty.

And Eric likes it too, Drew added with a smile.

This time Christina didn't answer, but Britney on the other side showed a cute look on her face. She didn't know what the two were talking about. Drew didn't mean to 'enlighten' this stupid girl. In fact, she was a little stupid. The advantage of being stupid is that it would be boring if you raised two identical loli.

Tina Fey didn't hear the movement of the car in the yard. She was shocked when she heard the door being opened. She was relieved when she noticed that Drew brought two little girls in. She didn't go with Drew to the night's premiere, but stayed at home. Seeing that Drew came back with two girls again, Tina Fey was not surprised. She always thought that Drew's relationship with the two girls was an expression of childlike innocence.

Why are you back, isn't there a party? Tina Fei stood up from the sofa and asked curiously.

Drew leaned lazily on the sofa, waved his little hands and said, This kind of party is not interesting, and Eric has to leave early, it is even less interesting, so I rubbed his car back.

Eric, he's here too? Tina Fey glanced outside the door.

Don't look at it, it's gone, Drew said jokingly: Get me a glass of juice, I'm a little thirsty.

I'm coming, Christina, who had already sat down, stood up diligently and walked towards the refrigerator.

Tina Fei glanced at the girl's actions, shook her head slightly, sat back on the sofa, and casually picked up the document she was reading just now and placed it on her lap.

It's so late, are you still looking at these things? Drew leaned over, glanced at the information in front of Tina Fei and said with a smile.

There's nothing else, Tina Fei said casually, she didn't like watching TV too much, plus Drew offered her a high salary, Tina Fei subconsciously worked very hard.

Hey, Tina, the more you do, the more lazy I will become. I'm really afraid that one day you suddenly quit, what should I do, Drew leaned beside Tina Fey, He stretched out his small arms and wrapped his arms around the girl's waist, rubbed and said.

Tina Fei shook her slender waist with a smile, and said with a smile, You gave me such a high salary, I can't bear to resign.

I'm still reluctant to bear Eric, right? Drew joked immediately.

Tina Fei blushed and her eyes drifted.

Tina, do you want that ring? Drew asked suddenly.

Ah... (to be continued)
