I’m in Hollywood

The focus of the Vanity Fair party should be regarded as the external media area. When you enter the party hall, the atmosphere becomes very relaxed and relaxed.

Eric walked into the party hall and greeted the familiar guests. He looked around and was looking for a few people from Nicole. Columbia film company ceo Bill Michnik walked with a black-eyed middle-aged man. Come over, recognize the middle-aged man is the director of the "Black Man" series, Barry Sonanfield, Eric also greeted.

After approaching, Barry Sonanfeld took the initiative to reach Eric and smiled and said, "Good evening, Mr. Williams."

"Hello, Barry," Eric and Barry Sonanfeld shook hands and reached Bill Michanik. They greeted the two and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Bill Michalnik said: "Some movie matters."

Feeling the vague tone of Bill Michalnik, Barry Sonanfeld raised his hand to Eric and raised his hand. He said, "So, Mr. Williams, you talk, I am going to have a deal with Will. call."

Eric nodded to the other side, watched him leave, took a glass of red wine from the passing waiter, and walked to the corner with Bill Michal, asked: "How about talking?"

Bill Michalnik and Barry Sonanfeld are in contact with each other. The topic is naturally only the "Black Man" series.

Bill Michanik shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Barry and Will have just signed a contract with Warner. The project of Strong Peters is a TV series adaptation of "Hurricane Police." I have inquired. This is a science fiction film about the story of two agents in order to protect the president against an evil doctor. The background was set a hundred years ago. Moreover, I think Warner is obviously copying "Black Man" this time. In addition to the strong Peters, Barry and Will, Warner also intends to use another male character similar to the role of Tommy Lee Jones. Science fiction film, double male, comedy style, in addition to aliens replaced The mechanical monster made by Dr. Evil, the other elements are exactly the same."

Eric listened to Bill Michalnik and couldn't help but frown.

A few years ago, after Sony withdrew the positions of Colombia’s two helmers, Peter Cooper and Peter Peters, Peter Cooper, who had benefited enough, was already enjoying retirement. Strong Peters was still active in Hollywood. Transferred to the former owner of Warner.

The original "Black Man", although it was Eric's picking project, was mainly responsible for the Colombian team at the time, that is, Peter Peters and others.

Hollywood's follow-up is really not unusual, but this kind of almost complete copying is a bit disgusting. If Warner pulls Tommy Lee Jones in, it's just an alien version of Black. Clothing man.

There is no impression of the film "Hurricane Warrior" in Eric’s memory. I don’t know if it’s a butterfly that’s too big.

Continue to ask Bill Michalnik a few words, Eric realized that "Hurricane Warrior", accurately speaking, should be counted as a western costume sci-fi film.

The combination of the three elements of the West, Costume, and Science Fiction all gives a sense of non-destructive feeling. Eric even thought of the Rocket Expert, which was a disappointing Disney box office. It was also a relatively retro sci-fi film. "Hurricane Warrior" has added some more western elements that are more street-street.

Involuntarily thinking, feeling that he began to fall into a thinking bias, Eric shook his head and opened these thoughts.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" is such a movie that has a full-fledged street, and the box office is so big. Who is willing to determine the outcome of the "Hurricane Police"?

However, speaking, Warner's recent actions in the film business are really frequent. First, he won the distribution rights of Adam Sandler's "Daddy Forward" and took the "Lola" at the Sundance Film Festival. Run", now it is this "Hurricane Warrior".

The merger of AOL and Time Warner is under intense scrutiny by the US Department of Justice. I think these actions should be the forces of Time Warner who are eager to make some achievements to consolidate their power in the new company after the merger.

Although this "Hurricane Warrior" is somewhat arrogant, Eric does not intend to engage in any arrogance with Warner.

Of course, in the future, if the film wants to get good advertising resources on the TV platform of the Firefly System, don't think about it. The digital field will not provide any special support for this film. Warner is ready to let himself and the world, Pella The light and shadow era that Meng Sanjia had screamed together made it.

I thought about these thoughts in my heart. Eric was about to blink with Bill Michnik. He suddenly shouted and shouted at him. He asked: "Is John Wu recently responsible for an action movie on your side? ?"

"Well, "The Killer", I have just decided to create a new candidate, and I will start up soon," Bill Michalnik nodded. "Eric, is there any problem?"

"No, I mean, is Wu still preparing for a war film?"

"Yeah, he also showed me the script, called "Windtalker"," said Bill Michal, and remembered again. "Yes, Kenneth also greeted me last time. Say you let everyone not mix this project, so I have not continued to talk to him."

Eric’s heart said that it’s “Windtalker”, but the surface is not moving, but Bill Michalnik said: “You want a way to push this project to Warner.”

Bill Michanik immediately understood what Eric was doing, and his face smiled again. "But, Eric, you haven't seen this script yet. In fact, I think this project is good. Are you sure that Wu will mess up?"

“Everyone has something that they are good at,” Eric said. “Have you heard of Wu shooting a war film? Actually, I don’t understand it myself. Why is he interested in war films? He used to shoot comedies a long time ago. The results were a mess, and later turned to the field of action films, only to find the right direction, and now want to transform, I am not optimistic."

“Every director wants to try new areas,” said Bill Michnik. “You haven’t been doing this yourself all the time?”

"I don't have the mood to fight you," Eric shook his head and said: "In short, you just do what I say."

Bill Michal was somewhat entangled and said, "But what should I do?"

"This is your business, and you can use your brain," Eric raised his hand and bounced on the glass in the other hand. "For example, after you said that I saw this script, I suddenly went to the project." Interested, and then talk to Wu, the conditions are stuck, and then quietly let out the wind, there will naturally be people to grab."

"What if I was taken away by Universal and Paramount?"

"In any case, as long as we don't do it," Eric shrugged. "But I think it's the most likely to fall in Warner. On the other side of the world, Michael is now more savvy than you think. As for Paramount, Redstone East The more conservative it is, the less likely it will be."

"Well," Bill Michal nodded helplessly, and couldn't help but say: "Eric, in case, I mean, what if the "Speaker" is successful?"

"Two ways," Eric said, but he only shook a finger in front of Bill Michalnick and smiled. "You help me with my black pot?"

"b to choose the second one?"

"What do you say?"

And Bill Michal, respectively, Eric just noticed Julia's figure, so he went straight to a card seat not far away.

Coming to the deck, I found that in addition to Julia and Elizabeth, and Amy Pascal, Tina Brown was here.

Although it is the boss, Eric can't pay attention to the specific itinerary. Tina Brown was the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair. The Vanity Fair party was created by her. Although she has already been in Yahoo, she has appeared here. Eric has some surprises, but she is not surprised at all.

After greeting, Eric took a polite ride between Julia and Elizabeth.

Julia's little daughter-in-law called the waiter and asked Eric to take a glass of wine and handed it over. Elizabeth curiously asked, "What have you been talking about with Bill, how long?"

"The topic between Hollywood men is of course to save the world," Eric made a joke. He was gently beaten by Elizabeth. He didn't mind. He smiled and asked, "So, what about you?"

Elizabeth glanced at Eric and said, "I am letting Amy help me out to make a movie for the fireflies. What do you think of Harry Potter?"

Eric put down the glass and raised his hand to make a surrender. He pleaded: "You let go of Harry Potter. Is it okay for me to owe you?"

A few women laughed together and apparently knew that Eric and Elizabeth had about the $100 million box office gambling on Witch Blair. In addition, in the past two years, as the popularity of the Harry Potter series continued to rise, the Firefly Group also began to discuss the issue of officially launching the film project. Recently, the wind has spread to the media.

Everyone laughed, Tina Brown said: "Speaking, "Witch Blair" is a miracle, Eric, I am coming over this time to personally tidy up the marketing plan for "Witch Blair". It will definitely inspire Yahoo's business."

Eric heard Tina Brown explain his intentions and nodded. "I will have breakfast with Jeffrey tomorrow morning. Come over, let's talk. In addition, what information needs to be read?" I will let this side match you as much as possible."

With the direct help of the big boss, Tina Brown can't help it.

After a few chats, Eric did not neglect Amy Pascal, and asked: "Amy, how is the preparation of "Bourne"?"

"Doug Riman has just finished his new film. I have already talked to him. He is happy to take over the film," Amy replied. "In addition, in terms of actor, Icm also recommended several candidates. People come over, I am planning to send you the information next week."

Eric felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it, he asked, "Yes, what about the producer?"

Amy replied: "John wants to be personally responsible, I think it works."

Amy said that John should be John Cali, vice president of MGM.

Eric also didn't bother to explore the reason. He shook his head and said: "Is John Cali not in charge of the TV business? He is still concentrating on doing this," said Eric, thinking about it. Road: "I remember, on the other side of Ann Berlin, Frank Marshall and the Catherine Kennedy couple wanted to quit. You tried to contact them. It is best to pull them both."

Since the history of Hollywood has been seriously distorted by the big butterfly of Eric, Spielberg and others replaced the Anbang film industry, which was established as a dream factory. The decline is much faster than in the original time and space, but only in the past few years, Olds and a group of people feel that solo is far from being as simple as they thought. Now there are signs of smashing.

Frank Marshall and Catherine Kennedy are the ace producers of the Spielberg series. The famous "Raiders of the Lost" series and the "Back to the Future" series have both of them involved in the production. The previous series of "Bourne Shadows" happened to be from the hands of their couples. If you can pull the two people to MGM and make them into the 'original class', it would be better.

"It shouldn't be easy," Amy said. "I heard that they want to build their own production company."

Eric heard this, but there was nothing to worry about.

The two couples set up a production company, and definitely still want to find a big studio, probably the same as the relationship between Jerry Bruckheimer's production company and fireflies, Eric does not believe in the current situation in Hollywood, Frank Marshall And Catherine Kennedy will also want to set up a separate film company that produces and distributes films.

"You first contact them. If necessary, I will talk to them personally."

Amy nodded and said, "Well, I will meet them tomorrow."

Eric and Amy said, noticed the appearance of Elizabeth’s eyes flashing, laughing and holding a little finger on the back of her hand, waiting for the girl to respond, asked: “Drew, Should she come over?"

"How do I know," Elizabeth grinned. "I didn't raise her as a daughter."

Said Cao Cao Cao Cao.

The Elizabethan voice just fell, and the voice of the girl came from the side: "I think you can already be my mother."

Eric turned and the little man in a ginger-colored one-shoulder dress had already squeezed outside Julia and sat on Eric’s lap. The little hand groped on him, smiling and geologically asked. "Where, where? I obviously heard that she came, I didn't find a circle, you must hide her, right?"

"Don't touch it," Eric said, holding the two small claws that he was restless, and smiled. "I have made her small in her ears. Go back and secretly show it to you. Don't scare everyone."

Shantou dissatisfiedly screamed twice. This seat was sitting on a chair and three people were just right. Four people couldn’t squeeze it. Seeing that Julia and Elizabeth didn’t give themselves the meaning of the position, the girl had to dissatisfied and went out again. .

Ami and Tina, who were opposite, saw this and laughed and got up and said they were going to say hello to other people. When the two left, Shantou sat down on the opposite side, and some of them did not care. "You must have hidden her, right?"
