I’m in Hollywood
Chapter 1027: Catching
Continue to talk about some things, sent Caroline and Meyer to rest, Eric opened the script in his hand.
In the most popular Hollywood blockbuster series after the new century, Pirates of the Caribbean is definitely a circumstance. In addition to the first part of the opening, the entire series has almost created a global box office of $1 billion.
From the original "cutting the throat", Eric has been thinking about this.
After the cooperation between the former "Pirates of the Caribbean" director Gore Vibinski and Johnny Depp in "Midnight Ring", Eric’s work on Pirates of the Caribbean is even more heart-felt and very I found the script in my hand based on the name of the scriptwriter in memory.
However, the script in front of me is quite different from the plot of "The Curse of Pirates of the Caribbean and the Black Pearl" in memory.
The story also revolves around a group of pirates led by Captain Barbosa in order to lift the mysterious curse and hijack the Governor's daughter, but the actor is the blacksmith Will, although the Black Pearl captain Jack Sparrow also has a large part of the scene, but only It is a supporting role.
According to some of the behind-the-scenes details of the Pirates of the Caribbean series in memory, Eric knows that this is not the butterfly effect caused by his own appearance.
The original "Pirates of the Caribbean Pirates of the Black Pearl", if you leave Depp, it is probably a cliché love story where a groom saves the princess from the bad guys and lives happily together. It can be said that the success of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series is almost exactly the same as the "Heroes of the True Color" series on the other side of the ocean. It is a certain point of restlessness that has become a protagonist step by step, and the film has also achieved phenomenal success.
A simple tour of the script, which is basically just an outline, Eric puts on the folder and subconsciously wants to send an email to Kasenberg, who is personally responsible for taking down the script in his hand.
However, the interior decoration of the Boeing 767 is luxurious, but not only the network, the cabin or even the phone, which makes Eric can not be delivered as soon as possible by Boeing 747, which expects to install a private communication system.
It took an hour for the plane to arrive in Los Angeles, and there was no other thing at hand, and it was impossible to contact the outside world. Looking at the "Pirates of the Caribbean" script in his hand, Eric picked up a pencil and tried to recall what other super IPs were missing in memory in the next few years.
Just sorting out, Eric himself was shocked.
Even if you don't say that the super gold mine that has recovered most of the copyright, it is just the three major copyrights of the Harry Potter series, The Lord of the Rings series and the Transformers series. Almost every one is enough. A big movie company has been eating for ten years. Pixar and Disney's two major 3D animation studios are able to provide fireflies with animated movies that are extremely rich in box office and surrounding interests.
What's more, Fireflies can't all focus on these big IP movies. In the future, the company must still try one or two big productions that get rid of IP constraints every year. Although Eric advocates a highly industrial filmmaking mechanism, if a film company relies entirely on big IP, it will gradually lose its most important creativity.
For the big production film, the entire Firefly Group, the annual production and distribution scale of six is already the limit. In this case, according to the annual 3D animated film, two Marvel cosmic movies, and two original big productions, the production and marketing resources for the big IP movies such as the Harry Potter series are somewhat stretched. .
An excellent commercial film, if it can't be done in the distribution and marketing, it is also difficult to get excellent box office results.
The "Special Forces Cobra Rise", which was once produced by Paramount Pictures, is a very classic negative textbook.
"Special Forces · The Rise of the Cobra" and "Transformers 2 · The Return of the Earth" were simultaneously released in the summer of 2009. The schedule was only one month apart, just because Paramount almost put all of his energy into the "Transformers 2 · Comeback" On the issue, "Special Forces and Cobra Rise" was a blockbuster production cost of $175 million, but the global box office was only a bleak $300 million.
Eric’s memory of the two main characters wearing the power mech on the streets of Paris in "The Special Forces of the Cobra Rise" is very memoryful. If Paramount is able to invest enough resources in marketing and distribution, this is absolutely The outstanding popcorn blockbuster global box office is definitely more than 300 million US dollars.
It stands to reason that the "Harry Potter" series, each of which is more reasonable for a large film company, can ensure that every IP has been carefully and omni-channel developed. However, Eric’s hands can now affect only three major movie companies.
Among the three companies, both Firefly and MGM have a very successful commercial series. In contrast, Fox has the right to distribute Star Wars and Milamax, which is very successful in literary films. Up, however, there is not much development in the series.
Eric is very dissatisfied with the original X-Men series controlled by Fox. The entire X-Men timeline has been messed up. The global box office of most of the series is only barely worthy of $300 million. So I thought about not putting the "X-Men" series on Fox.
But now it seems that Firefly is the main player of the Avengers series. MGM has temporarily focused on the agent movie universe. He wants to build another X-Men universe. The resources in his hands are only Fox's choice.
However, this time, the control of the X-Men universe must be firmly in the hands of the agent movie universe, and the Firefly Group itself must still participate in the relevant benefits distribution.
This is not Eric. After all, the entire news group, Elizabeth’s family now has only about 30% of the equity, and all the benefits of the X-Men series are given to Fox, and the benefits that can finally fall into the hands of Elizabeth are also There are very few. Everyone is now pursuing more control over the Hollywood and media industries. As long as they give a small portion of the interests of most shareholders, these people will no longer be arguing about the management of big film companies. This is probably the case.
Eric is now more and more able to understand that the pursuit of control is the most important, even if a person does not have a penny of personal assets, but if he can control a huge industry, the resources of the entire industry can still be available for demand.
At the same time, Eric decided to speed up the expansion of the Firefly system in Hollywood. After all, half of Hollywood is incomplete.
Due to the time difference, when the West Coast arrived in Los Angeles, it was only four o'clock in the afternoon. Eric just got off the plane and got a call from Shantou. After saying goodbye to Caroline, he rushed to Beverly Hills.
The Shantou people are not at the Trausdale Manor, but are shopping on Rodeo Drive.
When Eric asked the driver to drive to Rodeo Drive and walk into the Gucci store that Shantou said, only Natasha greeted him. There are only a few waiters in the store and no other guests.
"Master, the boss is changing clothes," Natasha explained, and walked with Eric.
Coming to the rest area reserved for guests, Eric did not choose a sofa, just sat down on a round high stool, nodded to the waitress who was attentively coffee, just gestured to put the coffee on Next to the table.
Waiting for a moment, Shantou walked out of the dressing room in the middle, wearing a sky-blue cotton skirt, short sleeves, a few embroidered neckline, and a short hem, revealing two white lotus-like thighs. Although the tube skirt is not a waist-style style, it is very tailored, and it is worn on the **** to give a middle-aged student a sense of youth.
"Eric," Shantou saw Eric and ran over. He kissed Eric with relatives and kissed him a few times before letting him go. He made a turn: "Beautiful?"
Eric nodded and said: "It's beautiful, it's too short."
"Oh, maybe I have grown taller. Right, I have set two pairs of shoes for you. I just got it back today, you try."
That being said, Shantou asked Natasha to take a shoe box, open the box and take out a pair of brand new black shoes. The little wife likes to kneel in front of Eric and plans to help Eric change shoes.
Looking at the action of Shantou, Eric took the foot and smiled and said: "Hey, so diligent, first confess, is it a disaster?"
"No, people are very considerate," Shantou was very dissatisfied with Eric's questioning, but did not insist. He got up and handed the leather shoes to a waitress next to him, and pulled a chair in Ai. Rick sat down and said: "Eric, Kate wants to invite us to dinner tonight, do you want to go?"
Eric just wanted to talk and watched the beautiful blonde waitress consciously kneeling in front of herself, and then raised her foot in coordination, then asked: "Which Kate?"
"Kate Hudson," said Shantou. "She didn't get the heroine of "Spider-Man", so I would like to invite you to dinner and thank you."
Eric nodded, feeling that the waitress who helped her change shoes hinted at the ankles a few times, but only slightly pretending to close the foot, said: "Since you promised, then Go ahead."
The role of "Spider-Man" actress Gwen Stacey has only recently been settled. Eric actually prefers Kelly Russell with a sweet baby face, but Cameron prefers Kate Ha Desen.
Compared to the slender and petite Kelly Russell, Kate Hudson, who is tall and close to one meter seven, is clearly more in line with Cameron's aesthetic. This girl is just 19 years old this year. She is at the age of youth and invincibility. She has a sweet face that inherits her mother. She smiles very well. However, her figure is slightly fuller and obviously has a 'fat temperature'. breath.
Although Eric is named by Kelly Russell, his attitude is not so determined. He and the girl have nothing to do after all. In comparison, Kate Hudson, who is familiar with each other, is different. Since Cameron likes it, Eric will agree to the boat.
The shoes changed, Eric got up and stepped a few times, nodded and satisfied, but did not try another pair, but asked the girl next to him: "Are you picking your clothes?"
"Well, this one is on the body," Shantou said, taking a credit card from his handbag and handing it to the waitress next to him. He didn't mean to change the clothes. After a while, Eric was with Shantou. Going out of the Gucci store, followed by twins with several handbags.
Just, just out of the store door, there is a flash of light not far from the street. Looking at it, a paparazzi holding a long-tube camera is facing the madness of this side.
Get off the car and help the Erik and the head of the **** to ask Eric to stop it. Eric just shook his head at random, and the **** was indifferently holding Eric’s arm and smiling at Eric. Posts, a pair of people enjoy the appearance of being photographed.
When I got on the bus, I told the driver to go back to the Trausdale Manor. The twins who drove the **** were behind Eric's car.
I squinted at the rearview mirror and saw a motorcycle follow up. Eric frowned and asked the girl next to him: "How do you have a paparazzi around you?"
Because Eric and Shantou have rarely come to the stage now, the public attention is not too high, and the two people have improved their status in Hollywood. In recent years, few paparazzi have appeared again.
After all, the tabloids are ultimately able to survive by being able to attract people. The scandals of those popular stars are obviously more attractive than the daily life of Eric and Shantou, and the tabloids are not easy without actual evidence. Write the gossip of the two, otherwise they will eat the lawsuit in minutes. Over time, the two of them will lose their appeal to the paparazzi.
Hearing the problem of Eric, the girl liked it and smiled and said: "I am the richest woman in the world right now."
"Hey, listening to this tone is a boastful little rich woman, too exaggerated," Eric shook his head with a smile, and his heart probably understood it, with the age and gender of Shantou, plus the asset under her name. The place, even if it's not made up, is just controversial. It's enough to attract too many people's attention in the newspaper.
"Oh," Shantou smiled and arched in Eric's arms. He sprinkled for a while, and his head was quiet. He leaned on Eric and said, "Eric, I think I have too much money now. It’s annoying.”
Eric pinched the face of the girl and said: "How do you say what you love in the newspaper? You don't care."
"I don't care what those newspapers say, but it seems that there are a lot of things happening around me, and I am bored. My mother ran to ask me for money last week. When I refused, I ran to the reporter and cried. How bad is my life, I clearly give her a 10,000-dollar living allowance every month, and how many people in Los Angeles can earn 10,000 dollars a month."
Eric licked his little waist and said: "Let's give her more. Don't let her make trouble. You don't need this money anyway. I remember telling you a long time ago, there are many things in this world. We can't hide."
