Erik ate a meal like pins and needles, but fortunately, because of the next party, several women ate very little, and the girl deserved to be her own personal little padded jacket, and soon declared that she was full, hugged Eric affectionately, and took the initiative to leave the restaurant.
Aniston saw that the girl was so understanding, perhaps because she had some strange rivalry, and got up to leave.
With only Nicole and Naomi left in the dining room, Eric relaxed, picked up the mineral water bottle on the table and took a big sip.
Looking at Eric's appearance at this time, Nicole couldn't help but laugh: "Aren't you a little glad that the three of Leaz, Julia, and Famick didn't come?"
Eric's expression was solemn and a little bit after the catastrophe and nodded: "Hmm." ”
Nicole leaned her chin on the table with one hand and said, "Seriously, if we fight, who are you going to help?"
Eric pointed to the button he had just sewn, "Didn't you see it, just hit me." ”
"Hehe," Nicole chuckled softly, noticing the embarrassing appearance of her best friend next to her, and then said, "Then Nami and I will also go down, and I will take her to meet a few directors." ”
Eric pretended to be shy: "Actually, I'm also a director." ”
"I've not seen it before," Nicole leaned over, kissed Eric, picked up her satchel and said, "Let's go first." ”
Eric got up to send the two girls out, and said, "Tell me if there's anything you need help with." ”
"Of course, I'm not going to be polite to you," Nicole walked to the door of the restaurant with Naomi and hugged Eric before leaving.
Eric returned to his place, thought about it, or picked up the phone that had just been charged and dialed Elizabeth's number, Elizabeth and Julia must have invited to tonight's party, but Elizabeth did not say whether she would come over today until last night's phone call.
The phone was quickly connected, and Elizabeth's somewhat lazy voice came: "Eric." ”
Eric was a little puzzled, "Why did you sleep so early today?"
"It's already ...... over here It's eleven o'clock," replied Elizabeth, adding, "Julia and I are in New York now, and we flew here in the afternoon." ”
Eric secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly became a little curious: "Yesterday you didn't say that you would go to New York today?"
There was a pause, a soft squeak, and a moment later Julia's stupid laugh rang out, "Eric, Liz said yesterday to make you fidget, the party has already started, right?"
Eric said helplessly: "Yes, I just had a button torn off, but fortunately it didn't break." ”
"Huh. ”
The two women on the other side laughed gloatingly, and then teased Eric again before hanging up.
Listening to the beep over there, Eric smiled, thought about it and dialed Famick Jensen's number.
Of the women who remained with him and possessed the ring, Famick was the most distant. This is not to say that the relationship between the two is distant or cold, if this is the case, Eric will definitely take the initiative to let go, he is now more and more casual in terms of men and women, and does not like to forcibly regard a certain woman as his own restraint, which is not good for both parties. It's just that Famick has the strongest sense of independence, and he doesn't actually have much attachment to him, except for coming to Jianjiao Manor to live for a period of time from time to time, Famick has a very complete life of his own, and even rarely stays in Los Angeles.
During this time, because of the movie version of "The X-Files" in the summer, Famick has been staying in Los Angeles, and he also lived in Sharp Corner Manor for a few days some time ago.
After the call was answered this time, Eric immediately heard a faint noise on the other side, and immediately understood that Famick should be at today's party.
After a brief conversation, Eric left the dining room and walked to the deck below.
It was close to eight o'clock in Los Angeles time, and all the public areas of the brightly lit ship were already crowded with guests who had rushed to the party, and even the exhibition hall under the big ship was crowded with people.
As soon as he appeared outside a banquet hall near the internal restaurant, Eric was immediately surrounded by all kinds of people.
"Hey, Eric, long time no see, how's it going......"
"Eric, Finch recently came up with a new script, but the budget may be higher, I've already transferred it to your assistant's office......"
"Hello Mr. Williams, I have a script here......"
"Eric, I watched the sample of "The Lord of the Rings" in the afternoon, and I have to admire your eye for picking a director, that Peter Jackson is simply a genius......"
"Mr. Williams, this is my number, my name is Anne, Anne Hathaway, call me ......"
"Eric, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Miyamoto, President of RB Toyota Motor North America, and he hopes that Toyota will get some ad placement opportunities in Spider-Man......"
“……”
“……”
After nearly an hour of entertainment, Eric came from the top of the big ship to the small park of the exhibition hall under the big ship, where some other important props used in the filming of "Titanic" were placed.
Near a buffet table, Eric finally finds Famick Jensen, who is chatting with a group of men and women with a glass of red wine.
"Hey, Fami," Eric put his arm around Famik and kissed her before looking at the crowd who had begun to be a little restrained as he appeared.
Eric found that he knew most of the eight people in this small circle.
Jon Favreau, Vince Vaughn, Sam Rockwell, Kylie Lynch, Heather Graham, Katie Holmes.
It's an amazing combination.
It seems that Hollywood is really very small.
Jon Favreau doesn't have to say it.
Vince Vaughn, the more well-known role in the original time and space is Pitt's best friend in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", but he has actually played the main and supporting roles in many Hollywood films, and he is a standard second-tier actor.
Sam Rockwell, who almost played Iron Man Tony Stark in history, and played the villain in the second part after his failure, it is not difficult to understand when he stands with Jon Favreau at this time.
Kylie Lynch, a relatively veteran action actress in Hollywood, played the villain in the original "Breaking Bad".
Heather Graham, the heroine of the new version of "Xenomorph", is one of the rare beauties in Hollywood.
As for Katie Holmes at the end, this style of appearance makes him feel even more strange than Eric just meeting Anne Hathaway, except for the identity of Tom's third wife, Katie Holmes's presence is too weak. Calculating the age, Katie Holmes should be a few years older than Anne Hathaway just now, how could she appear in this small circle.
After glancing around like this, Eric's eyes finally fell on the only middle-aged man with unkempt hair and some raunchy hair, and he had some speculation in his heart, and said to Famik: "So, don't you introduce you to me?"
Famick introduced Eric one by one, and it was the turn of the middle-aged man with unkempt hair, and Famick said his name just to confirm Eric's guess: "Eric, this is Doug Liman, a talented rookie director, who won many awards for his first feature film "The Prodigal Son of Full-Time" shot for $200,000 two years ago. I invested $100,000 at the time, and the other $100,000 was from Jeffrey's New Director Support Fund, and Harvey sold that movie for more than $4.5 million at the box office in North America alone, and we both made a lot of money. Well, Vince and Heather are the heroes and heroines of that movie, and we're talking about Doug's new movie, and Miramax has already set up a project, and this is the heroine he recently picked, named Katie, Katie Holmes, what do you think?"
Famick said, and hugged Katie Holmes affectionately, obviously knowing that this girl did not meet Eric's aesthetics, and looked very relieved.
Eric just casually said hello to Katie Holmes, and then focused his attention on Doug Liman again, asking about the other party's new movie.
Speaking of which, although Eric has asked ICM to look for a leading actor for the "Spy" series, however, there is no detailed plan for the specific start time of the film, so Eric does not pay much attention to the situation of the film's original director Doug Liman.
However, since it happened to meet today, Eric was naturally willing to connect this line casually.
"Dog Man and Woman is inspired by the story structure of Mr. Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction and tells the interesting story of three groups of completely disparate characters in Los Angeles who revolve around a drug trafficking incident. The heroine Lorna is in urgent need of money to pay the rent, so she decides to pretend to be a friend of her and makes a temporary cameo appearance as a drug dealer and decides to make a fortune......"
Doug Liman gave Eric a coherent synopsis of the project he was working on, and concluded: "Although the story is somewhat a parody of Pulp Fiction, I wanted to try a more complex multi-line narrative structure where the three stories can work on their own while maintaining a very interesting and wonderful interlude, and at the same time, the stories will still be combined in one point to form a perfect closed loop." ”
Eric has no impression of Doug Liman's film called "Dog Man and Woman", and he doesn't know if it was a new film produced by the butterfly effect or a film in the original time and space that didn't succeed. However, listening to the other party's slightly excited narration, Eric was reminded of another complex multi-line narrative film, "Two Smoking Guns" by British director Guy Ritchie.
It's just that, according to the previous timeline, this film should have been released in the UK and caused a sensation, but Eric didn't hear the news, perhaps, people can investigate, it would be a pity if such an interesting movie disappeared.
The idea of "Two Big Smoking Guns" was just a random flash, Eric still focused most of his attention on Doug Liman, and when the other party finished speaking, he briefly commented on his opinion on "Dog Man and Woman", and Eric quickly took the initiative of the topic in the field, and unwittingly guided the topic to MGM's Agent Cinematic Universe series.
Although many people think that Doug Liman's first part of "Spy" is not as classic as the second and third parts, in fact, without the beginning of the first part, the last two parts of the "Spy" series would never be so successful in one go, and Doug Liman has actually been playing an important role as a producer in the "Spy" series, which can be said to be an indispensable contribution to this series.
Of course, Eric was not in a hurry to hand over any olive branch to the new director, who had only made a low-budget solo film with a production cost of only $200,000 at this time, but after a good conversation, he hinted to the other party that he was more inclined to use a more thoughtful new director for the "Spy" series.
As long as Doug Liman has enough confidence and ambition, Eric believes that after his hint, the other party will definitely take the initiative to fight for this opportunity.
Doug Liman really didn't disappoint Eric, and chatted for a while around the topic of "Spy", and the other party's eyes were obviously a little more eager to try.
Eric didn't stay in this small circle for long, and after more than ten minutes, he whispered to Famik, "Let's go, accompany me to entertain the other guests." ”
Famick didn't shy away from the few people in front of him, and affectionately pressed his cheek with Eric who came over, but shook his head and smiled: "I won't accompany you tonight, I will be killed by someone with my eyes, you can go to whoever you want." ”
Eric was helpless, Famick obviously knew that the girls had also come over tonight, so he had to whisper: "When that's over, we'll go back to Malibu together." ”
"But I've promised Kelly to stay with her tonight. ”
Eric glanced at Kelly Lynch, who was curiously looking at her: "What is there to live with among you women, she looks very homosexual, and she probably has bad intentions towards you." ”
"Oh, don't talk nonsense," Famick raised his hand and tapped Eric lightly, "Anyway, not tonight." ”
"Then I'll call you," Eric made a phone gesture, said hello to the group, and returned to the ship.
Under the guidance of a waiter, he walked to the gathering place of the main creators of the "Midnight Bell" crew, director Gore Verbinski, the heroine Vera Farmiga and a group of main creators are basically here, and the actor Depp is currently filming "Guillotine Valley" in the UK, so he did not attend the party.
Due to the phenomenal success of "Midnight Bell", although it is only a horror film, Gore Verbinski's momentum in Hollywood at this time is a little stronger than Michael Bay, who rose to prominence with "Jedi Men", and the whole person seems to be in high spirits.
Firefly signed the same three-film contract with Gore Verbinski as Michael Bay, and now the script of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is completely in his hands.
However, Eric did not immediately start the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, not to mention that Depp's schedule would have to wait for at least a year, but Gore Verbinsky was in a somewhat inflated state at this time, and it was not suitable for him to immediately take charge of a big production with an investment of more than 100 million, because it was obviously difficult for him to implement the production ideas given by Eric at this time.
