I’m in Hollywood

"The Legend of the Night" is a project that Eric personally finalized. Although the budget is only 20 million US dollars, it is now a low-cost production, but he has been personally following up. In addition to providing a lot of "Legend of the Night" classic lens design according to memory, in order to ensure the film's gun battle and action style, Eric also brought the pigeons Wu Lalai as the producer.

The film started shooting in September last year and has now completed most of the time. Eric has just seen the sample last week, although the heroine has been replaced by Natasha Huntsque, the director is no longer Lun Wiseman. However, under the double control of Eric and Baige Wu, the new version of "The Legend of the Night" is definitely beyond the quality of the original.

In all fairness, according to the new line's release plan, it is obviously more secure to put the film on the summer file, but just hesitated for a few seconds, Eric made a decision.

If you want to promote 3D and IMAX movies, you can't afford some risks.

“Although it’s all night theaters, as long as you pay attention to the brightness problem in the process of conversion, this film is really suitable for making 3D movies,” Eric said. “I’ll wait and talk to Kenneth. I will be personally responsible for it. In addition, I remember that there is also a "Return to the Cretaceous" on the side of IMAX. It can also be used to fill the vacancy. I will see if there are any other suitable films, and then pick one. Sure enough."

After talking about these things, the breakfast was almost the same. Kasenberger left the restaurant first. Eric and other Julia lived slowly and ate their food. "You are not making an appointment with the "Never Compromise" crew. Read the script, will I send you in the past?"

Julia also knew that it was impossible to wrap around the man all day, pasted and kissed Eric with relatives, and took the initiative to leave.

I personally sent Julia to the car and Eric returned to the headquarters building.

In the morning, the company will hold a summary of the annual film business, and Eric will come to the large conference room of the headquarters.

Eric sat down at the conference table and the conference room secretary began distributing information to everyone.

As the conference materials were distributed in one share, the whispering voice was also heard in the conference room.

Eric opened the folder in front of him and looked at the brilliant box office list. Although everyone must have obtained relevant statistics before, he still can understand the mood of everyone.

At the end of the year, such as "Star Wars Episode 1: Ghost Threat" and other films are still in the release state, therefore, the box office list on the data only counted until December 31 last year.

Once again, I scanned the box office leaderboard data, and Eric couldn’t help himself.

The top ten films in the 1998 North American box office rankings are as follows:

1, "Jiaojiao 3", $ 322 million, MGM.

2, "Midnight Ring", 286 million US dollars, NL.

3. "Mission Impossible 3", $266 million, MGM.

4, "The day after tomorrow", 253 million US dollars, BV.

5. "Matrix 2", $238 million, AB.

6, "Star Wars Episode 1: The threat of ghosts", $ 218 million, FOX.

7, "Teddy Bear", $212 million, NL.

8, "Scorpion King", 193 million US dollars, Uni.

9, "Austin Powers 2", $ 186 million, FOX.

10. "The World of Truman", $125 million, Par.

It is not difficult to see from this list that although the top ten films in the box office list are directly from the Firefly Group, only the "Baitian" (BV) "Baitian" and the new line (NL) "Midnight" Bell and Teddy Bear, but it is clear that seven of the ten films are from BV, New Line (NL), MGM, and FOX from the firefly system. Waiting for several major distribution brands, even the "Imperial 2" of the Berlin Film (AB), is also inextricably linked with the firefly system, barely squeezed into the list of "Scorpion King" and "Qumen's The World, can only be ranked at the end of the list.

Eric understands that the mood of the people in the conference room will definitely be complicated. After all, most of these films, as long as Eric is willing, should be directly from the Firefly Group. In this case, the Firefly Group can even create MGM, which was the golden age of the golden age, failed to create a miracle.

However, standing in the personal position of Eric, he is very satisfied with this list.

After all, if you leave all of the films "Jiaojiao 3" and "Hacker 2" in the fireflies, if the Firefly Group has limited distribution capabilities, don't say whether these films can continue to play the original box office potential, even if they really get With the box office close to the front, the Firefly Group will also become very dazzling on this list.

Now, this series of films is scattered under different brands. Although the discerning eye knows which of the films are related to the fireflies, it also gives a lot of people who are not willing to face the reality. .

Recently, Hollywood has already had a sign for the firefly system. It is conceivable that if there is no such fig leaf, the situation will definitely be more tense.

However, considering this year's release plan, Eric can't help but have some headaches.

Compared with last year's relative silence, this year, the Firefly Group Bo Wei Company will directly issue five large-scale movies, namely the "European Enemy" in the Easter period, the "Iron Man" and "The Racing Story" in the summer period, and the end of the year. The "gravity" and "the first part of the Lord of the Rings", it is not difficult to imagine that these five films, all have the potential to squeeze into the top ten of the year-round box office list.

Moreover, starting next year, the average number of large-scale issuances of the Firefly Group will definitely be more than next year. Counting MGM, Fox, and Columbia, the entire firefly system is likely to have the top ten in the box office rankings. Hegemony, the situation, although it is exciting, but it will also bring more pressure on the entire firefly system.

However, Eric can't stop the expansion because he takes care of this.

The meeting started very quickly, but because of these things in mind, Eric was a little absent-minded.

The meeting was held for one morning, and lunch was eaten with everyone at noon. It was only two o'clock in the afternoon before I arrived at the Firefly Studios in Prea Vista.

The late stage of Gravity has been a long process of intense production. As long as it is in Los Angeles, Eric spends a large part of the week on this movie.

Today, there is a shot of the heroine that needs to be re-voiced. Eric rushed to Firefly Studios, and Judy took his little assistant and waited in the late studio.

After the film was finished, although I have seen several faces, Judy’s attitude towards Eric is obviously struggling. She is a very independent woman and does not want to be one of Eric’s many loves. The charm that this little man exudes makes Judy somewhat irresistible. Therefore, Judy’s attitude towards Eric is somewhat detached.

Because it was only a few shots, the dubbing time was not long. After half an hour, Judy ended his work.

Looking at the woman to pack up and intend to leave, Eric kept: "Or, go to my office and sit, you must have nothing in the afternoon, right?"

Judy hesitated, nodded.

The two left the late center of gravity, came to the administrative building where Eric’s office was located, and walked into the office. Eric found Judy’s face as nervous and pulled out his little assistant. He couldn’t help but laugh. .

I pulled out my wallet from my pocket and found that there was no banknote. Eric looked at Judy and said, "Your money is given to me."

Judy took a small step back and heard that Eric just wanted his own wallet and couldn't help but glance at him: "You actually want my wallet, you are Eric Williams."

Even so, Judy handed out the wallet from the handbag and handed it to Eric.

Eric opened Judy’s wallet and pulled out a dollar bill from inside and handed it to Judy’s little assistant who tried to pretend that he was not a light bulb: “Hey, go out and buy sugar, don’t have to stay here. We are here."

Looking at his little assistant's head, he was sent out by Eric. Judy finally reacted and couldn't help but slammed Eric to his eyes and grabbed his wallet. "You guy." I thought you were going to do something."

Eric personally walked over to the coffee machine and gave the two men a coffee. He smiled and said, "Yeah, I definitely think what I want to do, so let your assistant follow up, right?"

Judy didn't answer Eric's words, but she couldn't help but look red. When I saw Eric back to me, it was a little relaxing. Try to keep calm and walk to the sofa in the office reception area. Lazy to look downstairs through the glass window behind the sofa, the view here is very good, you can see the front of the studio area and the digital business field savvy LOFT, think about it, his place of view seems to be very good In particular, the shell villa of the Sharp Point Manor suddenly created some thoughts that I wanted to see.

However, the thoughts just wandered a little, and Judy heard a faint voice around him: "How good now, the two of us can finally be alone."

Judy feels that this sentence is very strange from the tone to the content, and even can not help but hit a little excitement, turned around and saw Eric holding a coffee standing next to the coffee table with a smirk, only consciousness When I was played, I couldn’t help myself. I lifted my foot and kicked it on Eric’s calf.

Eric smiled and put the coffee on the coffee table, agilely grabbed the woman's ankle, sat down on the sofa, and placed the woman's legs on his knees, taking off a black high heel from her feet. Laughing: "You actually wear high heels today. Did you wear them for me?"

The two calves were hugged by Eric. Judy's body squatted on the sofa, feeling a little soft on the body. When he heard the man's words, he turned his eyes slightly: "Eric, I suddenly found out, It turned out that you turned out to be such a cocky guy."

"No, you have a problem with this description. A man's self-confidence far exceeds his personal ability. That is arrogant. I think I have always been a very modest person."

Eric said, he took off another high heel from Judy. Although the woman wore high heels, it was still a pair of men's jeans. The legs were a bit wide, but it just happened to allow Eric to reach out from the gap. Go in.

Feeling that the calf was caught directly by the man, Judy’s body was a little softer, and there was no effort to break it. Maybe there was no thought of breaking inside, and groping for a pillow to hug on the chest, some of them’ 'The land is allowed by the man, and pretending to be dissatisfied: "Eric, you bastard."

"Don't wait, boast me, I don't feel it now."

"Pooh!"

I opened my eyes in confusion and found that the light in the room was a little dim. Thinking of the afternoon, Judy secretly regretted it. It was ridiculous, and it was so easy for him to let the little man succeed.

Moreover, the office next door turned out to be the bedroom, hey, this bad guy, there must be no bad things on weekdays.

I thought that I might have been lying on other women in this bed. Although there was no cleansing, Judy still felt very uncomfortable.

Then he shrank in the bed and turned around. He also stretched out his hand and found out that there was no one on the other side of the big bed. Even the sheets didn’t have any residual temperature. This shows that the guy must have left early, actually. I lost myself here, and involuntarily produced some small resentments.

Now what is the situation, perhaps, you should be far from the guy in the future, at least, at least, absolutely can not let him always be so easy to succeed.

The mind was thinking so confused, the bedroom door was pushed open, Judy's body was stiff, but he didn't sleep, the lights in the bedroom turned on, Judy turned and looked brightly on the pillow. The man who walked in, the simple white shirt, the trousers, and the angular face.

It was noticed that he felt more and more obvious to the man in front of him, and Judy suddenly had a little fear.

What happened to yourself?

Eric came to the bed and noticed the woman's blinking eyes. She helped her to lift the long hair on her cheek and smiled. "What happened?"

“No,” Judy shook his head and said, “Now, what time is it?”

“It’s already six o'clock. I set a place in a restaurant in Venice Beach and went to dinner together.”

Judy is hesitant: "After the next door, is there a restaurant on the boat, eat it outside, will it be discovered?"

"I can't always eat on the boat," Eric said with a smile. "And, it's nothing to be discovered. You must have thought that I am your good buddy... ah, light, painful."

Asking for the little hand that dazzled the woman to his waist, Eric reached out and groaned and said, "Okay, would you like me to help you wear clothes?"

Judy immediately shook his head: "You go out first!"

Eric was not reluctant to get up and walked out, saying: "You can take another shower, I am waiting for you outside."

Judy looked at the bedroom door and closed it. After a while, she got up and started to wear clothes.
