Eric handed the sketched outline of the script for "Instinct" to Allen behind him, and asked his assistant to register the outline with the writers' guild before he said to David Greenwater: "Because I don't like this woman." ”

The two producers of "......" were speechless at the same time, this reason is too strong, David Greenwater and Hans Whittle felt helpless at the same time, but also a little envious, when will they reach the point where they can control the fate of others with a word of 'dislike'.

Eric didn't mean to explain to the two, he is not an extreme nationalist, and he will not be sensitive enough to run to boycott something because some people say two words of anti-xx or something, if you don't like me, then I don't like you either, that's all, they are all ordinary people, there is no need to be so careful. But in the previous life, after the disaster in which tens of thousands of innocent civilians were killed, the woman who laughed and said the word 'retribution' can only be described as cold-blooded, no matter what bullshit reasons such as political positions are used to quibble, it is difficult to forgive.

Therefore, the moment he saw Sharon Stone's information, Eric directly passed the other party, and by the way, when the other party auditioned, he wrote the outline of the script of "Instinct" that made Sharon Stone famous in one fell swoop, and it is not a movie with a box office of over 100 million.

Although with Eric's current fame, for the sake of his own image, it is impossible to personally produce such a controversial large-scale movie, and he doesn't even plan to use his real name in the screenwriter column when making a movie in the future, but this script is just right to be handed over to Robert Shay, anyway, Robert Shay will lead two large-scale zuò movies this year, as long as he makes money, Robert is definitely willing to make any movie, as for the heroine, the heroine of a TV series can attract hundreds of people to scramble. Will Hollywood be short of heroines?

Eric was thinking wildly, and another poor girl was ignored by him, and the next woman walked in. Eric glanced up at the other party, then flipped through the other party's profile and looked at the name on it. Confirming that he was not mistaken, Eric looked up with a strange smile: "This young lady, have we met?"

Hans Whittle and David Greenwald, who were about to speak, closed their mouths in unison.

It seems that the heroine has fallen, and she finally doesn't have to stay up for a few more days, although she can see nearly a hundred beautiful faces every day, but if you see too much, you definitely don't feel it, not to mention that Eric is pressed on it. They don't have much power to decide the role, so they can only watch and not eat these beautiful women.

Famick Jensen, who had just sat down in his chair, was a little strange when he saw Eric looking at him, but he was a little happy in his heart, it was better to be noticed than to be ignored.

"Mr. Williams, maybe you've seen my commercials in some magazines, I've done quite a few commercials. ”

Eric glanced unabashedly at the girl's long legs wrapped in white slacks and asked, "Miss Jensen, are you a model?"

Famick Jensen shook his head: "Not anymore, I just retired. ”

Eric then asked, "If you don't get selected this time." What will you do in the future?"

The girl's expression didn't change much, and she thought for a moment and said, "In this case, I might apply for a university." Study for two years, and after you get your certificate, you can find another job. ”

"What about other jobs, like?"

Famick Jensen was stunned before shaking his head: "I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet." ”

Eric nodded and said to the two producers on the left and right, "I'm fine, come on." ”

"Don't ask any more questions, like do you have a boyfriend or something?" said Hans Whittle in a low voice.

Eric gave the other party a blank look, and said in his heart that I have a fancy for the woman. What if you have a boyfriend, rob it?

"Eric. Is it just her?" asked David Greenwalt, who whispered.

"Let's finish the morning's auditions," Eric replied quietly.

Honestly. There are not many famous actresses born in the sixties who have caught up with the rise of Hollywood, and there are only twenty or thirty famous actresses, and a few are counted on the first train of the post-70s. And Famick Jensen is one of the more famous Hollywood women born in the 60s.

The girl impressed Eric the most, not the only fifth-level mutant phoenix girl in "X-Men", but the fierce and glamorous Russian female killer in "007 Golden Eye", how to kill each other with two long legs when a man is *, since he has encountered it, of course, he has to try the strength of those two long legs himself.

Farmik Jensen saw the three main referees whispering for a while, and his heart was a little apprehensive, not knowing what the other side was discussing. But what happened next made her a little happy, because the three of them were very careful about her auditions. None of the other auditioners usually auditioned for more than ten minutes, but her audition took a full twenty minutes.

When Farmick Jensen left, David Greenwater said: "It's okay, the acting skills are a little clumsy, but you can exercise more during the filming process, the camera sense is very strong, and you are worthy of being a model." ”

Hans Whittle echoed with a grin.

Eric didn't care about the envious and mocking expressions of the two men, and took it upon himself to fill in his opinion on the form in front of him.

The audition in the morning passed quickly, and now that the role has been decided, then everyone doesn't have to be busy anymore, Eric packed up his things, explained a few words, and left with Alan. As for Farmic Jensen, he is not in a hurry, and he will talk about it after this busy time.

Time into late December, Christmas is approaching, from November 17th Thanksgiving schedule to the current five weeks, the North American box office market is basically "Home Alone 2" leading, in just five weeks, "Home Alone 2" box office has reached 110 million US dollars.

The top five in the North American box office list, in addition to "Home Alone 2", followed by Warner's "Lethal Weapon 2" and Universal's "Back to the Future 2", these three films occupy the top three of the box office list, while "Island Cry" and "Steel Magnolia" repeatedly compete for the role of the fourth place, and get more than 10 million US dollars at the box office every week.

After seven weeks of accumulation, the box office of "Island Cry" is about to exceed 100 million. The final box office may exceed the original target of $150 million, as "Island Cry" has barely seen a 20% drop in the box office in recent weeks, while "Steel Magnolia" has been more stable at the box office. More than $60 million grossed over the course of five weeks, plus the film is perfect for the Christmas atmosphere. It is estimated that there will definitely be a box office rebound during the next Christmas period, and there is no suspense at all that the box office will break 100 million.

As for the black comedy "Harlem Nightclub" starring Eddie Murphy that got a good box office in the first week, after a massive drop of more than 50% in the next two consecutive weeks after its release, it was directly thrown out of the top five, once again proving the truth that black movies cannot squeeze into the mainstream of Hollywood.

Home Alone 2, Island Cry and Steel Magnolia have also attracted the attention of the media, with Fireflies or Eric films dominating the box office charts since the beginning of November, and have occupied the spot for seven weeks so far. And on December 22nd, "Sleepless in Seattle" will also be released, which is another film directed by Eric himself, under the promotion of Fox, basically no one is optimistic about the "Crazy Christmas Holiday" launched by Warner to fight with "Sleepless in Seattle".

As the seventh week passed, December 22 finally arrived, "Sleepless in Seattle" officially opened in more than 2,200 theaters across North America after its premiere at the Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles.

and at the same time, there is also the "Smell and Know Women" starring Al Pacino, which is used to impact the Oscars. Robert Shea, in accordance with the release rules of many Olympic films, only arranged 60 theaters for "Smell a Woman" to get the Oscar tickets.

After the heroine of "The X-Files" is determined. Eric's work this year is basically done, and after attending the premiere of "Sleepless in Seattle", he has been staying in the Malibu mansion to rest, reading and writing scripts every day, and his life is extremely relaxed.

In contrast to Eric's lightheartedness, media throughout North America are nervously watching the first-week box office of "Sleepless in Seattle." Because if "Sleepless in Seattle" can win this week's box office, then Eric's film will really achieve the grand slam of the eight-week box office champion for the entire New Year.

Although many media outlets are not very optimistic about "Crazy Christmas Holiday" that Warner used to fight, no one dares to pack 100% tickets. Maybe this movie will also create a box office miracle like "Home Alone", after all. Although this movie is not starring children, the style has many similarities with Home Alone.

In this anxious waiting. After three days of box office release in the first weekend, "Sleepless in Seattle" undoubtedly won the weekend's box office with $17 million, while "Crazy Christmas Holiday" only grossed more than $11 million, not even more than "Home Alone 2", which rose because of Christmas. The outcome was decided without any suspense.

A week later, "Sleepless in Seattle" won the first-week box office of more than $27 million, and the successor "Home Alone 2" occupied the top position in the box office list. The media began to operate this spontaneously, and although the first part of "Home Alone" won the box office for 10 weeks last year, the box office of that movie can only be classified as a miracle. This year, Firefly Tong Guò won the box office championship for eight weeks in this relay way, which really proved its strength.

Although Firefly only released one "Smell a Woman" and several other films were released by Disney and Fox, however, few media outlets in the United States attributed this achievement to Disney, but instead taunted the Big Seven studios while touting Firefly.

And I have to say that at the same time that "Sleepless in Seattle" won the box office, several other things also happened at the same time, including "Smell the Woman", although there were 60 theaters for the premiere of this movie, it got more than $900,000 at the box office in the first week, with an average weekly box office of more than $15,000 per theater, which far exceeded the $10,000 threshold for big-selling movies. And the reputation of this movie is also very good, and the media evaluated the blind lieutenant colonel played by Al Pacino as his most classic role since the film.

And another thing is about the videotape of "Golden Jade League", after the release of "Sleepless in Seattle", with the proper publicity of Firefly, the sales of the videotape of "Golden Jade League" exceeded 200,000 boxes in the first week, squeezing into the top ten positions of weekly sales of videotapes. You know, this is an old movie more than 30 years ago, and the sales volume of 200,000 boxes in the first week is no problem with the next sales exceeding 1 million boxes, and it may even reach the point of 2 million boxes. Eric remembers that after "Seattle" in his previous life, the sales of "Golden Jade League" videotapes reached 2 million boxes.

According to the cost of less than $10 per videotape, the $5 profit given to the distributor is that Firefly can get half of the profit from each videotape that costs about $30, and if the sales volume reaches 2 million boxes, then Firefly can get a profit of $30 million. This amount of money is equivalent to the total profit brought to the film company by a film that has exceeded 100 million at the North American box office. While many people who didn't care about themselves were amazed by Eric's vision, the executives who had sold all the rights to "The Golden League" for $3.2 million also left Fox in a huff.

Originally, according to the contract, Colombia should pay more than $88 million to Fireflies for "Dark War", and the advertising share of "Friends" should also be settled in December, but the two large companies are looking for various reasons to repeatedly shirk, Eric even went to Columbia and Fox in a row, but he didn't see the helm of both companies.

And then, when Eric asked Caroline Elliot, the newly appointed Firefly financial director, to apply for loans from several banks with a film contract in Firefly's hand, the loan application was blocked for various reasons in just a few days.

On December 31st, the last day of the year, Eric was out for a day, but several things came to nothing, back at the Malibu villa, Eric sat on the sofa and pondered for a long time, combing through all the unusual details encountered during this time, and then, he had to dial Jeffrey, who was going to New York Chris for Christmas, and after the call was connected, Eric said in a heavy tone: "Jeffrey, something big may be going to happen......"
