I’m in Hollywood

Chapter 699 Consonance

Remember [??] in one second, and provide you with wonderful novel reading.

Eric waited for about 20 minutes when a red sports car appeared at the intersection not far away and stopped in front of him in a blink of an eye.

Eric stepped forward, the window glass fell, the girl didn't even bother to open the door, and her small body got out of the window directly. Eric smiled and quickly reached out to catch the girl, and took the girl out of the car.

Habitually bored on Eric for a while, the girl sniffed her nose and said with a smile, Eric, you smell like a woman, didn't you get kicked out of bed at the last moment?

Noticing the embarrassing expression that flashed across Eric's face, the little girl couldn't help laughing: Hehe, I guessed it right, so pitiful, let Little Drew hug him and not cry.

Eric slapped the girl's little buttocks with tears and laughter, looked at the red face after drinking, and said, It's so late, go home and rest.

Well, go home, take me into the car...

Eric put his arms around the girl, opened the car door and shoved her in, but did not get in the car directly. He walked to the front and knocked on the window of the cab. The glass slid down, and the twins asked, Master, what's the matter?

Eric just glanced at it, made sure the twins didn't drink, and nodded: It's okay, let's go.

Eric, don't look at it, how could I let them drink, how dangerous it is to drive after drinking, woo, I'm a little dizzy, I want to hug.

Eric got into the back seat of the car and felt that the girl's small body was immediately bullied. He stretched out his arms and touched her small head, and said with a smile, I really want to knock you silly.

Haha, it's useless to knock me into a fool. I can still guess what you're going to do when you raise your hand.

Feeling the car start, Eric raised his hand with a smile: Come on, guess, what am I going to do?

The girl who was comfortably resting on Eric's lap stretched out her small hand and pulled Eric's big hand in front of him and nibbled it lightly. She laughed and said, It's too deliberate, don't guess.

The sports car drove on the winding mountain road in Beverly Hills for more than ten minutes and entered the Trousdale Manor. Eric was talking to the girl with his head down. Natasha in the co-pilot turned her head and said, Master, there is someone at the door.

Eric looked up and saw a black SUV parked at the door of Drew's mansion.

The little girl sat up when she heard Natasha's words. The probe glanced at it and smiled: Gwyneth Paltrow,

I must have forgotten something when I left.

Eric wondered: Forgot something?

How do I know, the girl did not change her smile: Anyway, you can pull anything. Just come back if you have an excuse.

Eric understood in an instant, smiled, and said nothing.

Seeing the girl's red sports car parked at the door of the mansion, Gwyneth Paltrow, sitting in the SUV, took a deep breath, opened the door and got out of the car, with an apologetic look on her face, and walked towards Airi K and Drew: I'm so sorry, Drew, my bag is left at your house, and I have an audition form still in the bag tomorrow. I can only come back and get it at this time.

The girl took Gwyneth Paltrow's hand affectionately: It's okay, Kate, it's already so late, why don't you stay tonight.

Won't it bother you? Gwyneth Paltrow said to Eric.

Eric silently looked at the two girls who were like sisters despite not having that kind of affection. He just nodded, saw the door open, and walked towards the yard.

Gwyneth Paltrow saw that Eric didn't intend to talk to her, a trace of loss flashed in her eyes, but she quickly changed her expression and dealt with the little girl who was still holding her hand.

Let's go in. The girl seemed to be unaware of Gwyneth Paltrow's expression, and ordered the twins to drive Gwyneth Paltrow's car into the garage.

Eric walked into the yard and saw the two maids who were still busy and some debris still scattered around, and knew that the girl was having a party at her house when she called. The two maids didn't know much about Eric's character. Seeing him appear, the work in his hand has not been completed, and his eyes can't help but feel a little uneasy, worried that he will be scolded.

It was nearly one o'clock in the morning, and Eric waved his hand instead of Zhou Papi. Said: You go to rest first, and then clean up tomorrow.

The two maids breathed a sigh of relief, quickly finished the work in front of them, and disappeared quietly.

There were two years of chattering behind him. Eric was not interested in getting involved. He took off his coat and threw it on the sofa, and went upstairs to take a bath.

After a while, Natasha, holding Eric's coat in her hand, quietly appeared at the entrance of Yushi, hung her coat on the hanger next to her, and came over and said softly, Master, let me come.

Eric got up, let Natasha watch the water flow, walked to the sink and took out his toothpaste, squeezed toothpaste and asked, What is Drew doing down there?

Chat with Miss Paltrow.

It's so late, let them talk tomorrow.

Well, Natasha nodded, seeing Eric start brushing his teeth, focusing on the bathtub, filling it with water, reaching out to test the temperature of the water, and quietly exiting the Yu room.

After Eric finished brushing his teeth, he took off his clothes and soaked in the bathtub. He narrowed his eyes comfortably under the stimulation of the warm water. After a while, he felt that the Yurooms were pushed away, and the girl quickly fluttered into the bathtub.

Girl Eric rested her restless body in her arms and said with a smile, Don't make trouble, it's so late, what about Gwyneth Paltrow?

Go to the guest room to sleep, Eric, are you going to attack at night, maybe she will look forward to it?

I'm not interested. Since you don't like her, why are you so perfunctory?

The girl rubbed Eric's shoulder and said, It's very interesting to see that she obviously hates me very much, and she has to try her best to get close to me.

Eric patted the girl and said, Don't play too much.

If you don't like it, I'll ignore her.

Eric shook his head: No need, but, how did I hear you just called her Kate?

That's her Christian name, taught by her father.

Eric asked curiously, Oh, what about your Christian name?

I just recognized the goddaughter casually when I was filming ET. She was eight years old at that time. How could she have a Christian name? She was born and raised in a famous Hollywood family. It was a very formal name in the church when she was baptized.

Feeling that the girl was inexplicably depressed, Eric came over and kissed the baby's face: It doesn't matter. Why don't I give you a Christian name.

Okay, do you want me to call me Daddy?

Uh...don't call it that.

Haha, the girl twisted her body again, splashing a splash of water: You obviously like it. I feel it.

Eric stretched out his hand to hold the girl again: I'll throw you out again.

Hehe, the girl laughed a few times, stopped tossing, and said, By the way, Eric. I got a cool script today. It cost a full $500,000. You can help me see it.

Tomorrow, don't look at what time it is now.

Just take a look. The little girl, however, became more energetic as the time went on, she climbed to the edge of the bathtub, grabbed the shampoo bottle and tapped it on the edge of the bathtub, shouting, Nata Sha, Natasha...

The twins' voices came: Boss?

Help me get the script for today.

OK.

After a while, the Yumuro door was gently pushed open. Natasha walked in with a script in her hand, but there was a faint blush on her always quiet and beautiful face, her eyes slightly dodged, and she didn't dare to look at Eric who was soaking in the bathtub.

Although there was a layer of foam floating on the bathtub and could not see anything, Eric also felt a little embarrassed. He was about to ask Natasha to go out quickly, but the little girl stretched out her two white arms and let Natasha go out. Sha helped her dry with a towel and said, What are you shy about. I'm Eric's, and you are Eric's too.

Natasha responded in a low voice, Yes, boss.

Watching the twins leave, Eric asked, What have you done?

The girl did not answer directly. With a smile, he said, If you don't want them, I'll give them to others.

Forehead……

Okay, I won't give them to others, hehe, let's read the script, Xiao Nizi held the script in one hand. Handing over a dry towel in one hand.

Eric wiped his hands, took the script from the girl and opened it, his eyes almost popping out.

The cover of the script has only one word, Scream, and the screenwriter column is also Eric's familiar name, Kevin Williamson.

Fortunately, the little girl turned around to hang the towel, and didn't see the brief surprise on Eric's face, otherwise she would definitely guess something.

Feeling the girl turn around, Eric asked casually while flipping the script, Where did this script come from?

Everyone is rushing it recently, but the price has been raised to 350,000 US dollars. Several major studios have withdrawn, and only a few independent production companies are still competing. I think this script is very cool, so I directly asked for 50 $10,000 was taken.

The scripts of major Hollywood screenwriters can sell for 2 to 5 million US dollars, but due to the limited box office potential, the script price of horror movies is usually not too high. Looking at the current situation, the asking price of 500,000 US dollars is a bit high. For a horror movie script, about 200,000 is not bad. Even if it is more exciting, it will not exceed 400,000 US dollars. This is why several major studios will There were exits at the $350,000 price point.

Xiao Nizi once again guessed his thoughts from Eric's expression and explained: The $500,000 is not only for this script, it also includes contracts for two other sequels, and two other scripts of the same type, plus Come on, it's actually five.

Hearing what the girl said, Eric's thoughts just now vanished.

True too.

How could this girl be at a loss.

Eric can guess the idea of ​​screenwriter Kevin Williamson. In Hollywood, as an unknown screenwriter, $500,000 is definitely a huge sum of money After the two works have quieted down, maybe they will never earn less than $500,000 in their lifetime, and Kevin Williamson must be thinking of making more money on this script.

However, with a five-film contract of $500,000, and when Scream is a big hit at the box office, Kevin Williamson will definitely regret it to the point of tears in the future.

Feeling the change in Eric's mood, the girl smiled complacently and said, Eric, what do you think of the girl I personally played the girl who was killed at the beginning of the script?

Eric leaned against the edge of the bathtub, turned over the script in his hand, and asked calmly, How did you have this idea?

I just think it's very interesting. I haven't acted in a movie for a long time. And this role won't take long.

Well, act it if you like, by the way, how about Tina's Mean Girls script?

Preparations have already begun. We plan to put it on the schedule at the end of the year, and this Scream, if the shooting goes well, we plan to put it at the end of the year, if no one is willing to release it. We will do it ourselves. Oh, and Scream The sequel to Mission: Impossible, Kevin Costner's agent called two days ago and said he wanted to talk about the sequel contract.

Eric asked, How did you reply to him?

Xiao Nizi smiled and said: Of course I ignored him. Everyone now knows that there is a big problem in Future Water World. Although the filming has been reluctantly finished, we found out that the film has already been spent during the filming. It cost 130 million. I heard that the original director was too scared to do it at the end of the filming. Now the post-production will cost at least 30 to 40 million US dollars. Kevin Costner must want to sign the Disc first. Spy sequel. In case Future Water World fails, he can also get some guarantees, so I won't let him succeed. Even if I want to talk about it, I'll wait until Future Water World is released, hehe. With Future Water World Scream and Mean Girls are enough for Amy and I to be busy for a long time, and we will also participate in the promotion of Forrest Gump and Night at the Museum that will be released in person in the summer. , there are so many things.

Warner took over the Future Water World that Kevin Costner had been preparing for last year under the pressure of the collective strike of the big-name actors. I will definitely regret it now.

The final production cost was 170 million yuan, and Xuanfa Shao said that it would cost another 30 million US dollars, with a total cost of 200 million US dollars. Warner needs to recover 600 million US dollars worldwide. It is possible to recover the cost at the box office. According to Eric's memory of this film, it is impossible to make $600 million in the world. It would be good if there is no tragic attack. With the box office going down, even if you're a blockbuster that burns through $200 million in costs, the revenue from peripheral videotapes and TV licensing is definitely not going to be high. Warner's huge loss on the film is almost a certainty.

Eric couldn't help but think of Warner's film list this summer. In addition to Future Water World, there are Batman Forever, Pirates of Fire, Fight Against ******, Evaporation Secret Order For the four films, except for Batman Forever, the income is guaranteed, and the other films, at least at the box office, Eric does not remember any global sales. However, the cost of these five films is higher than that of each other. Not to mention the collapsed cost of Future Water World of 170 million, Batman Forever cost 120 million because of the stars, Evaporation Secret because of Arnold Schwarzenegger's high remuneration also cost 100 million US dollars, and the other Pirates of Fire is 70 million. Last year, Eric accidentally messed up Fighting **** The production cost is considered the lowest, but it is also a big budget film of 50 million US dollars.

In Eric's view, these films are definitely not worth the high production costs. Although Time Warner's film business revenue will rise significantly this year due to the continuous bombardment of five blockbusters in the summer, but in terms of profits, Eric It's almost certain that Warner's losses this year will definitely increase significantly compared to last year's annual loss of just $91 million, and Time Warner CEO Terry Semel will have a tougher day.

Perhaps, while Time Warner's performance is sluggish, Firefly can do something.

After all, Time Warner has something that Eric is very envious of and that Firefly has almost nothing.

...

Lying on a strange big bed in a strange room, Gwyneth Paltrow tossed and turned for a long time, her mind was in a mess, expecting, yearning, jealous,...

Although she was also Spielberg's goddaughter back then, Gwyneth Paltrow has always been somewhat disdainful of Drew, a low-level girl who just used her surname to make a living in Hollywood. But Drew's good luck over the years has made her jealous to the point of madness. Just thinking about the multi-million dollar mansion in which she lives, Gwyneth Paltrow gnashed her teeth, she didn't even know she was there When will you be able to buy such a house that is completely yours? Thinking that in the past few years, she has been deliberately lowering her profile to associate with Drew, but this little bitch failed to even bring her even an audition opportunity for a big-name movie, and she hated even more in her heart.

Bitchi!

Isn't it just that Eric Williams?

Sure, I must grab him.

I don't know how long I thought about it in my heart. The sky outside the window lit up, and Gwyneth Paltrow fell asleep. When I opened my eyes again, the sun had filled most of the bedroom.

Dazedly, she picked up her watch and glanced at it. At half past nine, Gwyneth Paltrow sat up suddenly. After taking a quick shower, I sat in front of the dressing table and carefully dressed myself up. I silently recited it a few times in my heart. I hope he hasn't left yet, otherwise. I don't know when it will happen next time. That little bitch never took the initiative to introduce Eric Williams to them. Some girls begged her many times to take them to the Sharphorn Manor, but they failed.

After dressing up carefully, Gwyneth Paltrow left the guest room. There was no trace of last night's party inside or outside the villa, and it even looked empty. She walked all the way to the living room, and Gwyneth Paltrow didn't meet anyone.

Just as he was about to go out, he saw one of the twins came downstairs with a few clothes and saw her. Politely stop to say hello.

Although a little jealous of the twins' flawless faces, Gwyneth Paltrow asked calmly, Natasha, where is Mr. Williams?

Miss Paltrow, the master is outside.

Gwyneth Paltrow was stunned and asked hesitantly, You... call him master?

The twins nodded, their expressions unchanged, and asked, Miss Paltrow, do you want breakfast?

Well, get me a fruit salad with some honey. Another glass of milk, warm it up a bit, forty degrees is best, oh. I'll eat it in the yard when it's out, Gwyneth said. ?Paltrow digested the question of the title just now, feeling the respect of the twins, and subconsciously ordered like the hostess.

Okay, Miss Paltrow. Natasha nodded, turned and walked away quietly.

Gwyneth Paltrow stood there blankly for a moment, then immediately recovered herself and walked outside the courtyard.

Outside the villa is a square swimming pool, with lawns and some shrubs on both sides, a gate to the west, a large open space for temporary parking, and a small road extending out to the east, which is a triangular viewing terrace overlooking the entire Los Angeles.

Gwyneth Paltrow saw Eric sitting at the long table on the terrace at a glance, and seemed to be on the phone. There were also laptops, fax machines and a pile of documents on the long table. The other of the twins sat quietly on a chair at the entrance to the patio, holding a book in his hand, reading quietly with his head down.

Although it felt a little strange, Gwyneth Paltrow walked over without hesitation, but just as she reached the terrace, she was stopped by the twins who got up: Sorry, Miss Paltrow, the boss is fighting. Telephone.

Although she knew they were not alone, the change in the attitudes of the two identical girls still made Gwyneth Paltrow a little unhappy and insisted: I just want to say hello to Mr. Williams, no will disturb him.

The twins just shook their heads quietly, not letting her go, noticing that Eric was also looking over, Gwyneth Paltrow waved to Eric eagerly.

Eric nodded with a smile, said a few words to the people on the other side, and hung up the phone: Natasha, let Gwyneth come over.

Okay, master, Natasha responded softly, quietly stepped aside, sat down on the chair again and quietly read the book in her hand.

Gwyneth Paltrow stepped forward briskly, but quickly restrained her movements and greeted very ladylike: Morning, Eric.

Morning, Eric smiled lightly, didn't mind her familiarity, sat down in front of the laptop and opened a document.

Gwyneth Paltrow was originally sitting on the other side of the long table. When she saw Eric sitting down opposite, she immediately got up and walked to him, sat down next to her, glanced at the laptop interface, and happened to see the desktop. The YCR software icon on the screen, said: Eric, you also use YCR, I have it too, can you give me your number?

Sorry, Gwyneth, this is for my work, no personal friends.

Gwyneth Paltrow persevered: Oh, don't you have a private number? (To be continued.)
