Eric thought that Zeta-Jones would wake up late after a hangover, but when he got up, he saw a girl in a pink bathrobe making breakfast in the kitchen.

"Good morning, Catherine," Eric greeted the kitchen figure as he sat down in the small dining room connected to the kitchen.

Zeta-Jones seemed a little surprised, looked over here, and said, "Good morning, Mr. Williams." ”

"Do you have my portion for breakfast?"

"Of course," Zeta-Jones replied, quickly placing the fried egg from the pan on a plate and bringing it to Eric along with the rest of the food that had already been prepared.

Eric thanked him and grabbed the cutlery, about to enjoy it, only to see Zeta-Jones just sit down next to him.

Realizing Eric's doubts, the girl replied, "I don't eat in the morning, this is made for you." ”

Eric smiled, divided the breakfast in front of him into two, and pushed it in front of the girl, "You can go and pour another glass of milk." ”

Zeta-Jones didn't object, got up and walked towards the refrigerator, poured a glass of milk and came back, still sitting down in the place where she had been.

"Why were you drunk last night?" asked Eric, smearing jam on his bread.

Hearing this, Zeta-Jones paused, glanced at someone with a nonchalant face, and said hatefully, "There's a guy who made trouble at the drinking party and messed up my affairs." ”

"Oh, it's a shame that a Hollywood Big Seven president isn't so easy to catch, but I don't think Jr. Peters will turn around so easily. What did you do next?"

"I turned down his proposal. Zeta-Jones doesn't hide it either. whispered.

Eric was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud very unvividly: "Proposal, haha, you played so much, you actually hooked an old Hollywood fritter to propose to you." ”

Zeta-Jones glanced at Eric, who had no scruples about talking about things that would not have been possible to talk about with great fanfare, and seemed to be a little self-defeating, an ordinary girl from a small Welsh town. Is it easy to get to this point: "Mr. Williams, are you gloating, I thought you were a gentleman." ”

"Where did you see that?" asked Eric, smiling.

"For example, last night's ......"

"So you woke up last night, I thought you were drunk and unconscious," Eric squinted his eyes and looked at the woman sitting next to him, the woman in the pink bathrobe exuded a faint seduction: "You may be mistaken about this, mainly because your drunken appearance is making people uninteresting, my favorite is the kind of woman who is half drunk and half awake, this kind of woman tends to struggle." ”

"The more you struggle, the happier you are. Isn't that right?"

"Bingo," Eric snapped his fingers.

Although I know that Eric is joking about this. Still, Zeta-Jones sent a disdainful look.

Eric completely ignored Zeta-Jones' eyes and asked, "This golden big Kaizi is lost, what are you going to do next?"

Zeta-Jones threw a charming look: "There is another one in front of me, I plan to see if I can catch it, if it fails, then go back to the UK and continue to wait for the opportunity." ”

Eric seemed to be numbed by the current, pretended to shiver, and said with a frightened look: "I advise you to give up this idea, young people love to go to extremes, in case you seduce others to the point of proposing to you, and cruelly refuse each other, it is difficult to predict what tragic things will happen." ”

"If he does propose to me, maybe I'll do yes?"

"Don't, you're still young, once you step into the grave of marriage, you probably won't be able to climb out, or continue to plague the old men in Hollywood, wait for you to step on those old bones and climb step by step to the pinnacle of Hollywood's power, I can write you an autobiography for free, I have thought of the title, "The Legendary Life of Catherine Zeta-Jones". ”

"The title of the book is really uncreative, but it's understandable that Hollywood directors often don't have much talent in screenwriting. ”

Eric gritted his teeth, seemed to rack his brains for a moment, and then said, "What about Mein Kampf?"

"Yuan will be angry first and then angry to death......"

Eric sighed and shook his head, "Oh, woman!"

Zeta-Jones looked at the ' Frustrated' Eric, the corners of his mouth curved upward, and proposed a charming arc, but the flattery quickly collapsed, she suddenly wanted to ask Eric if he looked down on herself, but she quickly realized that maybe this young Hollywood tycoon didn't care about himself at all, in this case, where could he afford to look down on, but how could a young man like him, who can be called God's favorite, appreciate the hardships of her painstaking but careful climb up in order to get out of poverty？

Sensing Zeta-Jones suddenly quiet down, Eric turned his head to look at the woman, noticed the other party's expression, and asked, "What's wrong, wasn't it okay just now?"

"No," Zeta-Jones blinked quickly, "nothing. ”

"Oh," Eric said, without asking, "do you want me to have someone buy you a set of clothes?"

Zeta-Jones shook her head, "No, I'll just leave in the dress I wore last night, and thank you for bringing me back last night, Mr. Williams." ”

"You're welcome. ”

Zeta-Jones finished the breakfast in front of him, took out a tissue and wiped her lips elegantly, before she said as if determined: "If one day...... Don't forget today's promise. ”

"What?" said Eric, wondering.

"Help me write my autobiography, whether it's The Legendary Life of Catherine Zeta-Jones, or Mein Kampf, all in all, when that day comes, I'll let you make good on that promise. ”

Eric noticed the resolute look on the girl's face as she spoke, and nodded with a smile, "Okay, but." I haven't talked about the charges yet. I'm very expensive. ”

"I'll star in one of your movies for free. After Zeta-Jones made up his mind, he seemed to be a little more confident: "When the time comes, my salary will definitely not be low." ”

Eric pretended to be entangled for a moment before revealing a 'reluctant' look: "Then I'll suffer a loss, promise you." ”

After Eric had finished his breakfast, Zeta-Jones carefully cleaned the dishes and returned to the bedroom to change into last night's dress.

When the girl came out, Eric said, "I'll let the driver drop you off?"

Zeta-Jones did not refuse Eric's kindness. Expressing their gratitude, the two walked out of the villa side by side.

When the girl was about to get into the car, Eric took out a business card and handed it to Zeta-Jones: "A good friend's business card, he is a senior executive of ICM, you can go to him, just say that I introduced him." ”

Zeta-Jones hesitated slightly.

Eric laughed, "If you mind, I can guarantee that this detail will not appear in your autobiography in the future." ”

Zeta-Jones smiled, took the business card from Eric's hand, and looked at it. It was written with Kapoor Sid's name, and she vaguely remembered the name of a Hollywood gold agent: "Thank you." Mr. Williams, however, you can honestly include this plot in my autobiography. ”

"Okay," Eric nodded, stepped forward and opened the door for the girl with his own hands, Zeta-Jones lifted her skirt and sat inside, Eric closed the door, stepped forward and gave the driver a few more words, watching the black BMW sedan leave.

……

Because of the drastic changes to the style of the movie, "Prequel to the Dark War" only got $40.3 million at the box office in the first week of release, and for a whole week, the box office is showing an obvious downward trend, and the box office estimation agency expects that the box office of "The Prequel of the Dark War" is likely to fall by more than 60% in the second week, which is still a very conservative estimate, after all, in addition to the still strong momentum of "Tornado", the second week of "The Prequel" of "Dark War", that is, June 19, the majority of Batman fans have been looking forward to "Batman Returns" for two years will also be released, under the attack of "Tornado" and "Batman Returns", "Prequel to Dark War" is destined to become the most tragic cannon fodder.

Compared with the disappointment of "Prequel to the Dark War", the box office performance of "Tornado" in the second week of release surprised many people, and it was really a big surprise, because compared to the first week, the box office of "Tornado" in the second week only fell by 15%, reaching a high of $55 million, which is about 15 million higher than "Dark War Prequel" in the first week of release, with this box office trend, "Tornado" is likely to become a work with a total box office of more than $300 million in North America again.

"Tornado" accumulated $120 million at the box office in two weeks, and Hollywood studios also thoroughly saw the box office potential of CG special effects films.

In this case, Eric and Stan Winston quickly made the decision to expand the scale of the digital field, intending to expand the scale of the digital field by 1,000 permanent CG special effects artists, and the reason for this intention was not only because of the significant increase in the workload in the digital field.

In addition, there are also considerations about MAYA software, if we can train as many as 1,000 special effects artists who are proficient in the digital field of MAYA software, then in the future, as long as these people leave the special effects industry, it will definitely play a very important role in promoting MAYA software.

After seeing the importance of CG special effects, some other special effects companies also began to develop their own special effects software, however, there was a lack of enough film projects for technical accumulation, Eric knew that those software were destined to not surpass MAYA, as long as in a few years, choose the right time to commercialize MAYA software, it will definitely bring a huge fortune to himself.

On June 19th, under the close attention of many people and the expectation of a large number of fans, Warner launched Batman's second big movie "Batman Returns" again after two years.

Although "Tornado" has been released to the third week, relying on the box office trend of the first two weeks, even if the box office can maintain a decline of about 20% this week, the box office of "Tornado" will still reach a height of more than $45 million in the third week, which is almost the same as the box office of most movies in the first week of release.

As Eric expected, although "Batman Returns" still maintains Tim Burton's dark style, however, after the audience was amazing in the first part, it is clear that they can no longer accept the more depressive style of the second part, although "Batman Returns" still received more than $55 million at the box office in the first week of release, however, the fan evaluation is not as high as the first one. At the same time, "Tornado" still got more than $46 million at the box office, with a total box office of $166 million

In the second week of the release of "Batman Returns", the box office decline has reached 45%, which is much higher than the box office decline of more than 20% in the same period of the first part.

Perhaps wanting to maintain his status, in the second week of the release of "Batman Returns", actor Michael Keaton took the initiative to reveal to the media that he planned to withdraw from the Batman series of movies, but Warner did not respond positively to this.

Eric also heard the news quickly, he knew that Warner's Batman series of movies in the 90s, to the third and fourth parts, almost every main creator will come to a complete 'update', so he can also understand that Michael Keaton is taking the initiative to find a step for himself. However, without the halo of Batman's leading actor, it is estimated that Michael Keaton will definitely not have any major development in Hollywood in the future.

However, these are no longer Eric's concerns, July is approaching, and all the preliminary preparations for "Jurassic Park" are ready to start filming. But after some consideration, Eric decided to wait for another Firefly summer movie to be released before heading to Kauai, Hawaii, the main filming location of "Jurassic Park".
