Chapter 968: Tales of the Night

Because he was so surprised by Natasha Hensquch's sudden explosive acting skills, Joss Whedon even forgot to shout at the end of this set of scenes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

What was even more surprising was that Joss Whedon's small mistake did not affect Eric and Natasha Hensquent's play in the slightest, and the two did not hear a stop, so they naturally began to play freely and continue their lines.

It wasn't until Eric and Natasha boarded the black Rolls-Royce and started that Joss Whedon finally reacted, quickly got up and gestured, and shouted into the field in person: "OK, cut!"

The Rolls-Royce door was pushed open again, Eric, Natasha and Larry Ellison got out of the car, looking at Joss Whedon who was coming up, Eric smiled and asked, "Jos, how was it just now?"

Joss Weddon glanced at Natasha Hensquich who was following Eric, and remembered that he was a little embarrassed to question this stunner at the beginning, but he still praised without hesitation: "Very good, everyone is doing great, especially Miss Hensquage, it's hard to imagine that you are in front of the camera for the first time." ”

"Oh, thank you for your affirmation, Jos," Natasha Hensquech heard Joss Whedon's praise, and her originally apprehensive mood suddenly calmed down, a little more excited, glanced at the man next to her, and she added: "It's all the result of Eric's help." ”

Larry Ellison saw Joss Whedon focus on Natasha Hensquich and asked eagerly, "Jos, what about me?"

"That's exactly what I'm saying, Larry, and Eric, Natasha, let's talk over there, there's a lot of detail that could be improved," Joss Whedon pointed to the monitor, and walked over with the three of them.

It took seven or eight minutes for Joss Whedon to analyze the details of the performance that needed to be adjusted for the three people one by one according to the footage just now, and then adjusted the technical problems that arose during the first shooting, and started filming again, half an hour later.

However, due to the unexpectedly unsatisfactory performance of Natasha Hensquidch, the 'unstable factor' that most likely affected the shooting, the subsequent shooting went exceptionally smoothly.

Just after five o'clock, Joss Whedon was relieved to announce the end of the set of exterior shots, after repeatedly checking a few of the more perfect footage.

The crew began to quickly clean up the scene in preparation for the evacuation while preparing for filming inside the casino at six o'clock.

originally thought that there would be no time to eat until nine o'clock, and the crew also prepared some snacks such as chocolate for the actors to temporarily replenish energy. Now that the shooting was completed ahead of schedule, everyone naturally took advantage of this time to hurry up and eat something, because they often need to be in a state of excitement, the film shooting is still very energy-intensive.

Caesar's Palace was very dead about the time card of the crew's filming, but other requests were accommodating, and Eric and the others arrived at a restaurant inside the hotel, although it was not yet dawn, and the chef had prepared a hearty breakfast.

In the subsequent casino scenes, Don Cheadle, who played opposite Eric, had countless times more acting experience than Natasha Hensquch, so he was naturally more at ease. So, three hours later, the crew successfully completed all the scenes in Las Vegas.

After Natasha Hensquich finished filming, she waited on set until nine o'clock before returning to the mansion at the country club with Eric.

"Eric, did I do a great day?" asked Natasha Hensquitch as she enthusiastically pushed Eric against the door panel as she entered.

"Of course, you scared Jos," Eric nodded, feeling the girl's long legs bend and rub against him, and smiled as he held up a folder that Caroline had given her as she returned, "Now, you haven't slept for almost a day and a night, go take a shower and rest, I'll have to read this first." ”

Natasha Hensquich leaned into Eric's ear and sighed, "Together, can't we work late?"

Eric patted the girl's buttocks, shook his head, and said, "Of course not, someone is still waiting for me in Europe to read the reply, this is already yesterday's work." ”

"Then I'll watch with you," Natasha Hensquitch let go of Eric and grabbed his arm. From last night to now, Natasha has been in a relatively excited state, and now although the Las Vegas scene has been filmed, she still does not have any tiredness.

The two of them went to the spacious living room on the second floor, and Eric sat down on the sofa and said, "If you are not sleepy, go to the study and help me get my laptop and make a pot of coffee." ”

"Yes, sir," Natasha responded, getting up and running to the study to get Eric's laptop, and then to boil water and make coffee downstairs.

Eric opened his laptop and placed it on the coffee table, and then opened the file in his hand.

The documents in hand are the draft deal contract for the Firefly Group to acquire Viking Records, and the balance sheet of Viking Records.

Firefly offered the final $1.2 billion deal price to EMI Group, and as Eric expected, EMI Group did not mean to hold the Viking record in its hands, and finally accepted Firefly's offer.

During the long negotiation period of two months, a lot of work has been completed ahead of schedule, and the focus of the two sides has always been on the transaction price.

The intention was reached, and neither company had any intention of delaying any further, and Barry Weiss had flown to Europe again yesterday, and Eric had received the information in his hand last night.

With the acquisition of Viking Records, together with the group's existing North American record distribution channels, Firefly Records' distribution network will fully cover the entire European and American regions.

At the same time, as a veteran record company established for more than 20 years, Viking Records has accumulated the copyright of tens of thousands of songs over the years, in addition to mainstream English songs, as well as French, German, Italian and other European language music.

This number of music rights is not comparable to that of the major record giants with millions of song rights in reserve, but it is a good addition to the Yahoo Music Store, which will open in Europe at the same time as the release of Fireflyer 2.

Through the hot girl group that has become popular in Europe with several consecutive singles, the release of the first record will also be quickly rolled out with the help of Viking Records' perfect record distribution channels in Europe.

Natasha Hensquich made her coffee and brought it upstairs, poured two cups and put them on the coffee table. I found a magazine from the shelf under the coffee table and leaned comfortably next to Eric, and I consciously didn't express any curiosity about the materials in Eric's hand, but just asked, "Eric, shall we go back to Los Angeles with the crew in the afternoon?"

Eric flipped the page of the document in his hand and said casually, "No, we'll go back tomorrow morning and take you to play in the evening, how about it?"

"Okay, although I've been to Las Vegas before, I've basically been working, and I haven't had a good time," Natasha Hensquich nodded, paused, and said, "Eric, next Monday is the Oscars, will you go this time?"

"It's not okay not to go this time, this year is the 70th anniversary of the Oscars," Eric smiled and glanced at the girl next to him, "You want to go too?"

Natasha nodded honestly.

"This time there is no way, the ceremony will be held next week, and all the guest lists have been decided. However, the feeling of participating in the Oscars is actually not good at all, you think for yourself, sitting motionless in one seat for three hours, and cooperating with the camera, guests, etc. ”

"Eric, the Oscars may not matter to you anymore," Natasha said with a little wistfulness on her face, and she was very honest, "However, for us little people, it is an honor to be present at the Oscars." ”

"If you really want to go, I'll say hello to you next year and be an award presenter or something. But you'll have to remember to remind me next year, or I'll forget. ”

Natasha dropped the magazine in her hand, curled her legs and turned to look at Eric, and smiled, "The tone in which you say these words is really shocking, but I suddenly feel that I should try to fight for these opportunities on my own." ”

Eric used a pencil to mark a trade terms that he didn't feel made sense, and continued to read on, nodding his head, "Good, I like self-motivated girls." ”

However, Paulina said that according to our qualifications, there will be nothing to do in Hollywood, only to play vases, she has played vases several times before, and she has not had any impact in Hollywood at all, and a friend of hers asked her to make a cameo in a film a few days ago, and she refused. ”

"Paulina Preskova?"

"Hmm. ”

"Heh, her face is so perfect, she can only shoot commercials, you are different. ”

Natasha Henstritch gently put her knee on Eric's leg and smiled with a little dissatisfaction, "You mean I'm not perfect enough?"

"You goblins don't know how many people are jealous, where do you need to strive for perfection. What's more, perfection means the loss of plasticity, which is precisely the most important thing for actors. When I saw Paulina, I just wanted to take her to shoot commercials, and when I saw you, it was different, and I could knead it and use it as a big vase in the movie. ”

"That," Natasha's tone suddenly became a little more cautiously anticipatory, "Eric, do you think I can be the heroine?"

"Yes, according to your performance in "Iron Man", the movie will be released next year, and you will definitely get a lot of recognition and corresponding fame. At that time, it is unlikely that the heroine of a big-budget movie will be achieved overnight, which will require opportunities, but it will be easy to get a few low-budget production female lead numbers in Hollywood. ”

Eric said, once again remembering the upcoming release of "Xenomorph" during Easter next month, Natasha originally gained a foothold in Hollywood with her stunning performance in this B-grade sci-fi horror film series, although she has never been popular, but she is also a well-known second-tier actress.

Speaking of which, in Hollywood, if an actress who is too beautiful wants to maintain her influence for a long time, it is indeed a good choice to have a long-lived B-movie series, just like the original Milla Jovovich's "Resident Evil" series, Kate Beckinsale's "Tales of the Night" series, and so on.

"Resident Evil" has been changed to a different appearance by Eric, but "Tales of the Night" is still there.

Thinking of this, Eric immediately looked up at the girl beside him: "Natasha, stand up and show me." ”

Natasha Hensquich didn't know why, but she obediently got up, expertly posed, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Eric didn't answer, and continued, "Make a more indifferent face and be a little more decadent. ”

Natasha realized something, and immediately cooperated with a decadent and indifferent expression, if she was asked to perform immediately, she might not be able to achieve perfection, but this kind of similar to the requirements of shooting print advertisements, as a supermodel, she could not handle it very skillfully.

Eric looked up and down, the girl was wearing a white turtleneck sweater and light blue casual pants at this time, although her expression was in place, but the whole person did not meet the temperament that Eric needed, so she asked again, "Do you have a leather coat?"

Natasha said, "I brought a pair of leather pants, burgundy, is that okay?"

"No, it should be black," Eric shook his head, "So, you can drive to the street now to buy a set, and I'll finish reading all these things in my hand, and I'll surprise you when you come back." ”

Although she had already guessed the roughly, Natasha asked, "Eric, is it a movie?"

Eric nodded, "Hmm." ”

"Then I'll go," Natasha nodded excitedly, put on her high heels, and kissed Eric on the corner of her lips, and walked downstairs.

After Natasha left, Eric intently read the few documents in his hand, wrote down the doubts and emailed them to Barry Weiss, who was far away in Europe, before picking out a URL in his laptop browser favorites and opening it.

A simple Google search page immediately appeared on the page, and the familiar Google logo was 'designed' by Eric himself, exactly like the original.

Immediately after that video conference late last year, Yahoo began working on a separate search engine.

Now, Yahoo has not only registered the Google trademark in advance around the world, but also has a separate search engine system that is currently in the internal testing stage and is expected to be officially opened to the public in June this year.

Since there is no longer a "Xeno" series, and it is impossible for Kate Beckinsale to play "Tales of the Night" with her current coffee position, it is also a good choice to give this series to Natasha Hensquidch. Natasha is not inferior to Kate in terms of appearance or figure, as for acting skills, eh, this film doesn't seem to need any acting skills.

It's just that if you want to shoot "Legend of the Night", you need to get the copyright first.

Originally, the script of the "Tales of the Night" series, director and screenwriter Len Wiseman claimed that several friends had saved it together, but in fact it was a plagiarized 1994 novel, and the two sides fought a lawsuit and finally settled out of court.

Ten years passed, and the complete memories of the original past life inevitably began to be forgotten little by little, and Eric racked his brain for a while before remembering the name of the author of the original novel by Nancy Collins, so he quickly searched for it.

Actually, even if he didn't think about it, Eric didn't have much of a burden, and he planned to use it directly, but it was a big deal, and he settled out of court.

Over the years, Eric is no longer worried that his 'idea' will collide with the original author, because there are too many such unclear lawsuits in Hollywood, and any director who is a little famous, whether it is Spielberg or Martin Scorsese, has basically suffered a script lawsuit, and Eric has not seen any Hollywood director bankrupt or discredited because of this.
