Chapter 477: Do You Want That Ring

Although there are endless high-grossing high-grossing movies in Jim Carrey's memory, the most classic Jim Carrey masterpiece recognized by fans is the "Strange Masterpiece in Disguise" in front of them.

Stanley, a depressed bank clerk, accidentally picks up a mask that can give people superpowers, which causes a series of turmoil, of course, the ending must be that the good guy defeats the bad guy, and the lovers eventually become married. Although the plot is quite mediocre, Jim Carrey's crazy performance caused the audience at the premiere to burst into real laughter from time to time.

Eric stared at the picture on the big screen, listened to the laughter of the audience in the theater from time to time, and couldn't help but think that if it weren't for the rise of Hollywood special effects blockbusters, maybe Jim Carrey's Hollywood in the entire 90s would have achieved the same status as Hong Kong's Zhou Xingxing.

Of course, this is just an emotion, if a film market can only accommodate one star to dominate, then there must be a big problem in this film market.

"What are you thinking?" asked Elizabeth in a low voice.

"Something," Eric replied vaguely, and then changed the subject: "How's the preparation for 'Detective's Plane Head'?"

Elizabeth was obviously a little dissatisfied with Eric's change of topic, and said perfunctorily: "It's okay, it will definitely not delay the schedule." ”

Eric smiled, reached over and patted the girl on the leg, "Liz, don't do this, you know, I'll tell you what I can tell you." ”

Elizabeth glanced around in a panic to make sure no one was paying attention. He pushed Eric's hand away from his lap, "Why can't I know something else?"

Of course, it is impossible to tell others about his memories of the future, and Eric said, "Everyone should have some privacy space for themselves." ”

Westerners tend to be very privacy-conscious, even between the closest couples. Therefore, hearing this, the little depression in Elizabeth's heart dissipated a lot, and she snorted lightly before asking: "Hey, how much box office do you think "Strange Heroes in Disguise" can get?"

Eric pointed behind him and said, "Look at the reaction of these spectators." 100 million is definitely no problem. ”

Most of the audience who were able to attend the premiere were veteran fans specially invited by the film company, and if the film responded well to these people, then the reputation among ordinary moviegoers would certainly not be bad.

Elizabeth was a little dissatisfied: "It's only 100 million." The North American box office of "Tornado" is expected to be 300 million, and now even the overseas box office is 50 million, and it is estimated that the total overseas box office will not be much less than that in North America. ”

"Then you also have to look at the cost gap between the two movies, the cost of "Tornado" is 70 million. "Strange Heroes in Disguise" is less than 30 million. ”

Elizabeth furrowed her brows: "I always feel that something is different." ”

"It's really exciting. In two years, you can try to make a big-budget movie, but don't cry if you fail. ”

"Try it, try it. ”

Eric smiled and said, "First of all, fireflies don't invest. ”

"Hmph, you're just eccentric, it's really enthusiastic enough to invest in a documentary where a woman has no possibility of making money at all. ”

Eric knew that Elizabeth must be talking about the documentary about the Los Angeles riots that Catherine Bigelow was preparing, and because of the need for a lot of material, Eric specially helped Catherine contact Fox News, which had accumulated a lot of news materials during the riots. It is not surprising that Elizabeth knew about this.

Eric had heard the women condemn his partiality more than once, but. He also knew that most of these were coquettish women with a little bit of pettiness, and he had never treated any of his women badly.

Thinking of Fox, Eric suddenly thought of another thing: "Speaking of which, I suddenly thought of a movie released by Fox at the end of the month, which seems to be called "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". ”

"What's wrong?"

Eric leaned over slightly and said with a wicked smile: "How about selling the rights to this movie to Firefly, the price is arbitrary." ”

In my memory, "Vampire Slayer Buffy" should have been filmed for about seven seasons, and a TV series can be filmed for seven seasons, which is definitely a classic among the classics, Eric did not expect that the movie version of "Vampire Slayer Buffy", which was only broadcast in 1997, appeared as early as 1992.

Elizabeth saw Eric's expression, and immediately raised her vigilance, she subconsciously thought of the film copyright of "Golden Jade League" that Eric had obtained from Fox, the movie copyright Firefly only spent a few million, but because "Sleepless in Seattle" brought this old film to fire, the videotape of "Golden Jade League" sold more than two million boxes, and Firefly also made tens of millions, thinking of this, Elizabeth decisively refused: "You come to this set again, don't even think about it." ”

"Okay," Eric shrugged and sat up straight.

After a while, Elizabeth couldn't help but be curious, and asked, "Hey, what do you want to do?"

"Sell me the rights first, and I'll tell you," Eric said with a grin.

"Hmph, if you don't say it, you won't say it, I'll tell Fox when I turn around that I won't give it to you if the copyright of this movie is rotten. ”

"Then let's hold it first," Eric said, anyway, even if he really got the adaptation rights of this movie immediately, Firefly has no plans to make more TV series for the time being, this year Firefly has five or six small and medium-sized production movies in addition to a few major blockbusters, plus the TV shows of "Friends", the company is already running at full capacity. Perhaps, in a few years, after Firefly has its own TV station, it will be enough to find a way to get it. Thinking of the TV station, Eric's mind has shifted a lot, and now the three major TV stations are operating separately and have not merged with any of the Big Six, so it is a good time to acquire.

However, Eric knows that after the new century, the situation of the three major public television stations is not very good, and the prosperity of the Internet is one of the reasons, but more importantly, the rise of cable television stations. Therefore. He has been considering whether Firefly should focus on developing cable TV or acquire one of the big three.

Seeing that Eric appeared to be out of the sky again, Elizabeth leaned over and kicked him. only to turn to the big screen without squinting.

Before you know it, "Strange Heroes in Disguise" has come to an end, Stanley and Tina stand side by side on the bridge, casually throwing the magical mask into the river, hugging their beloved.

When the applause erupted, Eric said to Elizabeth, "I won't be involved in the next party, you can just preside over it." ”

"Don't. Eric, it's only ten o'clock," Elizabeth hadn't answered. Drew's voice rang out on the other side.

Most of the parties after the premiere were attended by the main creators of the crew and some guests specially invited to the premiere, and there were no important people to deal with, so Eric was too lazy to join in the fun.

"I have something to do tomorrow, so you guys can play. Eric patted the girl's shoulder soothingly.

After a simple curtain call. Eric was about to leave backstage when Drew was glued up with his little gown, followed by two small tails.

"Hey, Boo, Chriss," Eric said hello to the two girls, seeing Britney wearing a school uniform and carrying a small school bag. Curious: "Isn't it summer vacation, do you still have to go to school?"

"I ...... I make up the lessons. Mr. Williams," Britney replied with a timid look as she heard Eric speak to herself.

Although there is no tradition of summer make-up classes in American schools, but there are exceptions to everything, Britney and Christina are both Disney actors, and they must have pulled down a lot of homework in normal times, and it seems normal to participate in make-up classes in the summer, although realizing what is going on, Eric still laughed and joked: "I heard that the people who participate in make-up classes in the summer are not good students." ”

Britney opened her mouth in a sneer, and suddenly 'had an idea', and stretched out her hand to point at Christina beside her: "Chrissy is also participating in the make-up class." ”

Eric almost burst out laughing, the little girl obviously didn't hear him teasing, and glanced at the pretty Christina in a beautiful light blue dress, who didn't look like she came out of school at all, and couldn't help but reach over and rub the girl's little head: "This is not like a good student." ”

Of course, Christina could hear Eric teasing them, neither flustered nor angry, and endowed out her little tongue cutely, and didn't mind Eric rubbing her hair, gently curling her neck, and her slender eyes narrowed slightly, like a charming kitten.

When Eric saw Christina's expression, he suddenly had a sense of déjà vu, and inadvertently glanced at Drew beside him, only to realize that Christina was obviously imitating Drew's appearance.

Hey, they're all goblins.

"It's so late, you should go back, I'll let someone drop you off. ”

"Huh?" it was Britney, who didn't have any scheming, who had thought that Drew would take them to the Beverly Hills mansion tonight.

Hearing Britney's doubts, Eric looked at Drew, "What's wrong?"

Drew put his arms around the two little girls and said with a grin, "I'll take them to live with me, Eric, are you coming?"

Eric hurriedly shook his head: "Forget it, since that's the case, let's go back as soon as possible, don't play too late, don't forget to send them to class tomorrow." ”

"Got it, it's like an old man. ”

Eric reached out and knocked on the door of the girl's head, "Speaking of which, I haven't settled accounts with you about the last time you taught little Emma." ”

"Hehe, I've heard that Julia said you were too embarrassed. ”

Several people said and came to the parking lot together, Drew took the two little girls into Eric's car to take a ride, and there were two bodyguards sitting in the front row, and Eric had to squeeze in the back seat with the three girls.

crowded all the way to the door of Drew's mansion, Eric didn't get out of the car, and drove the three girls down directly, and after simply saying goodbye, he told the driver to drive home.

It wasn't until Eric's SUV disappeared that the three daughters walked into Drew's mansion, Britney was heartless and only cared about joy, but Christina had some regrets because Eric didn't stay here, and the girl always hoped to spend more time with Eric, and it was much better to be able to please the Hollywood big man than to simply stay here for one night.

"Isn't it the same as what you just learned," Drew said with a smirk as he put his arm around Christina's little shoulders as he walked down the hallway of the mansion.

"Ah, what?" Christina tried to play dumb.

Drew reached out and pinched the girl's face: "This is a compliment to you, you learned very well." ”

Christina knew that she had been caught imitating Drew's charming expression, and she didn't know if Drew was really praising herself, so she pulled the corners of her mouth a little nervously and showed a flattering smile: "I just think, that, that's good." ”

"And Eric likes it too," Drew added with a laugh.

This time Christina didn't answer, but Britney on the other side showed a cute look, she didn't know what the two were talking about, and Drew didn't mean to 'ignite' this stupid girl, in fact, being stupid also has the advantage of being stupid, if you raise two Lori who are exactly the same, it will be boring.

Tina Fey didn't hear the car in the yard, and was startled to hear the door being opened, and was relieved to notice that Drew had come in with two little girls. She did not go with Drew for the premiere in the evening, but stayed at home. Tina Fey was not surprised to see Drew return with two more girls, she always thought that Drew was a childlike sign of innocence with the two girls.

"Why are you back, isn't there still a party?" asked Tina Fey, standing up from the couch, curious.

Drew lazily leaned on the sofa, waved his little hand and said, "This kind of party is not interesting, and Eric has to leave early, so it is even more boring, so I will rub his car back." ”

"Eric, he's here too?" Tina Fey looked out the door.

"Don't look, it's gone," Drew said teasingly, "help me get a glass of juice, I'm a little thirsty." ”

"I'll come," Christina, who had already sat down, stood up politely and walked towards the refrigerator.

Tina Fey looked at the girl's actions, shook her head slightly, sat back on the sofa, and casually picked up the material she was reading and put it on her lap.

"It's so late, and you're still looking at these things?" said Drew as he leaned over, glanced at the information in front of Tina Fey, and smiled.

"Nothing else anyway," Tina Fay said casually, she didn't like watching TV too much, and Drew offered her a high salary, so Tina Fay subconsciously worked very hard.

"Hey, Tina, the more you do it, the more lazy I will be, I'm afraid that one day you will suddenly quit, what can I do," Drew leaned over Tina Fey, stretched out his little arm around the girl's waist, and rubbed it.

Tina Fey shook her waist with a smile and said with a smile: "You give me such a high salary, I am reluctant to resign." ”

"Iric, don't you?" Drew immediately teased.

Tina Fey's face flushed, and her gaze drifted.

"Tina, do you want that ring?" Drew asked suddenly.

"Ah......h (To be continued......)
