John Aniston quickly agreed to Eric's invitation without much thought, and between soap opera actors and TV producers, few people would be willing to choose the former, and Hollywood, whether it is a screenwriter, an actor or a director at the upper level, will develop in the direction of producer when his career progresses to a certain point.

For this reason, John Aniston also resigned from some positions in NBC and significantly reduced his role in the NBC. Although he is in his fifties this year, which is the same age as Jeffrey, his dedication is not much weaker than when he was younger.

Although the box office of the two movies has not been recovered at all, because of Eric's two huge loans, Firefly is not short of money, and the budget for each episode of this TV series is about 200,000 US dollars, which is completely controlled, and the total investment is only 5 million US dollars, which is only equivalent to the investment of this movie.

With the addition of John Aniston, the project got off to a rapid start in early May, with the crew renting two giant studios from Twentieth Century Fox to set up what was essentially a Warner studio in Los Angeles.

Although Eric didn't want Fox to be involved in the series, it would be too deliberate to have to go to Warner or Columbia for such a thing as renting a studio. At a meeting, Eric did not build his own studio, but was opposed by Jeffrey and John, who agreed that it would be too costly to do so, and Eric had to give up for the time being.

As for the actors, Eric also fantasizes that it would be perfect if he could gather six people from his previous life, and he appeared five years earlier than his previous life, so, according to the time, several leading actors even the oldest Lisa Kudrow is only twenty-six years old, and several other actors are also between twenty and twenty-four years old, and they start acting at this time, so ten years later, this group of actors will not have obvious age marks in the camera.

The reason why the previous life ended in the tenth season, although the actor's salary is part of the reason, but the most important thing is that the age of the actor is no longer suitable for this classic to continue, Lisa Kudrow, who played Phoebe in the tenth season, is forty-one years old and has begun to play the role of a mother on the big screen, and it will seem very inconsistent to be cute and funny like a young man in this movie.

Of course, the six people who collected their previous lives are already destined to think that Matthew Perry, who played the role of a young and middle-aged stupid thief after Aniston's introduction, is now a first-line movie actor, and it would be a fool's dream for you to let a Hollywood A-grade superstar play a sitcom.

As for the others, Eric does have some of their movies stored in his memory, but before this year, Eric could only find Courteney Cox playing a small role in it, and the others now don't even have a shadow, and it is a needle in a haystack to find them, in this case, Eric can only patiently start choosing replacements for the other five friends among the cast applicants.

On Sunday, May 10th, the shooting has come to an end, and in the next week's working day, as long as there are no big accidents, you can close the mirror.

Therefore, Eric can take time out today to conduct the final audition of the actors, which is also the final round of screening, because Eric's previous requirements, the first work carried out by the crew is the audition of the actors, so it only took ten days, and the sets in the two rented Fox studios are still in the early stages of construction, and the selection of actors has entered the final round.

Eric's plan is to insert classic footage into the movie from mid-May to mid-June, and the official filming of this TV series will not wait until at least after the release in July, according to the plan given by Fox, the response of the TV series will be in early September, just after the end of the summer season of the movie and the beginning of the autumn schedule of American dramas.

Moreover, Eric is expected to spend only two weeks filming the first two episodes of the TV series in person, and after completing this, he needs to prepare for the two films in the second half of the year non-stop, and also need to worry about the release of the other three films, basically, there is no leisure time in the second half of the year.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Eric walked into the office and saw many men and women waiting in the hallway. These people obviously knew Eric, and after Eric appeared, they all took the initiative to greet Eric, and several young girls also threw meaningful glances at Eric without concealment, Eric nodded to everyone, and entered the audition room without stopping.

He hadn't seen the final cast yet, and because all the actors had no clue, Eric had to do the auditions in person, rather than in the same way as he did when he was casting.

"Good morning, Jeffrey, John. When I walked into the audition room, I saw that Jeffrey and John Aniston were already waiting here, and the two were talking to each other, and when I saw Eric appear, I stood up and greeted Eric.

"Good morning, Eric. ”

"Eric, morning. ”

Eric walked to the back of the long table and sat down, and a blonde female assistant took the initiative to come up to Eric, put a stack of materials in front of Eric, and bent down to introduce Eric: "Mr. Williams, this is the full list of actors interviewed today, and the order has been marked on it." ”

When the girl spoke, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, her chest just faced Eric, and the top button of her white shirt was not fastened, and Eric saw the beautiful scenery of the girl's breasts lightly.

d**, yes, it doesn't seem to be able to hold it in one hand. Eric thought so playfully in his heart, and at the same time glanced at the side, how John Aniston couldn't notice the scene here, of course, his face was not very good.

The crew was formed by him through his own connections in the TV circle, and the blonde was also a more experienced staff member he found, and now the girl seduced his daughter's boyfriend in front of him, how John Aniston was happy, Eric thought to himself that the girl would not stay in the crew for long.

It's just that maybe the girl doesn't know much about the relationship between John Aniston and Eric, or understands but doesn't take it to heart, so she seduces Eric in front of John. With Eric's current net worth of hundreds of millions at a young age, women with the slightest ambition in Hollywood will go out and try it, and it is not the first time Eric has encountered this kind of seduction.

"Okay, I see," and after the girl finished introducing her, Eric had eaten enough of the little tofu delivered to her door, and then nodded.

"Well, my name is Linda Grant, Mr. Williams, and you can call me Linda. The girl straightened her waist and consciously or unintentionally showed off her Miaoman figure wrapped in a professional suit.

"Thank you, Miss Linda," Eric thanked the girl with a smile.

John Aniston's voice finally rang out: "Linda, let the young people waiting outside for the interview get ready, let's get started." ”

"Yes, Mr. Aniston. The girl nodded, and walked out of the audition room with her beautiful buttocks wrapped in a dark skirt.

"Ahem, Eric, Linda...... Already married, his husband is a recording engineer for the crew. John Aniston didn't know what to think, and whispered this in Eric's ear while the girl was going out.

Eric shrugged innocently, "John, I didn't do anything. ”

"Eric, although it is inevitable to be in Hollywood, you better be careful not to hurt Janie, she is actually a very simple little girl. ”

Eric nodded weakly, "Don't worry, John, I'll take care of it." ”

John Aniston shook his head: "Actually, I would prefer that you take the initiative to break up with Jenny. ”

Eric immediately refused, "I won't break up with Jenny unless she leaves me on her own initiative." ”

After Eric finished speaking, he secretly added in his heart, even if she wants to leave me, I will try my best to get the little girl back, of course, this kind of thing must not be said, otherwise John Aniston will not be able to do anything.

John Aniston, of course, could not have guessed Eric's mental activity, tapped him on the shoulder, and began the audition.

Eric had a chance to look down at the auditioner list form.

Sure enough, at a glance, there are no well-known movie stars in later generations, and Eric didn't watch many American dramas in his previous life, so people who don't know these American drama circles also said the past, after all, there are very few young people in their twenties who can stand out, and when American dramas become more and more sophisticated more than ten years later, they can even challenge the status of movies, these people are already in their thirties and forties, and even if they appear in American dramas, they are all those inconspicuous supporting roles.

I flipped through the long pages of audition lists, but I didn't find a single familiar name. Bored to the last page, this page is the list of actresses who applied for Phoebe Buffy, Eric finally found a familiar name, and it is a very familiar kind: Nicole Kidman, which made Eric a little surprised, how could Nicole Kidman apply for the TV series?

Eric double-checked the spelling to make sure it was the right name, so he beckoned to Linda Gran, who walked in again, and the blonde immediately leaned in, "Mr. Williams, is there something wrong?"

"Where are the detailed cast profiles, I'm going to see the profiles of the auditioning cast in the afternoon. ”

"Please wait. ”

Linda answered, walked out, and walked in a moment with a few Wen Jiàn clips in her arms: "Mr. Williams, it's all here." ”

"Thanks, just call me Eric," Eric thanked him, and despite the curious looks of Jeffrey and John Aniston next to him, he began to rummage through it, and soon found Nicole Kidman's archive.

With just one glance, Eric recognized the woman in the photo posted on the profile, with wavy brown hair, a round face, blue glasses, a straight and sexy nose, and thin lips.

After a quick glance, the girl's resume is stuck on an Australian TV series called it, and she has also participated in several TV series and movies before.

In other words, the film that made Nicole Kidman break into Hollywood is gone, is this also the butterfly effect brought by himself?

Eric Mo clutched the corners of the paper and pondered, and finally had to admit that this must be the case, and that all the things in the world had changed since he published his entry into Hollywood last year. This reminded Eric of the dominoes he had seen in his previous life, as long as the first domino was pushed, then the next will cause thousands of dominoes to fall, which is the most vivid interpretation of the butterfly effect.

According to the time in memory, Nicole Kidman should have participated in the show, before coming to Hollywood, and then quickly hooked up with Tom Cruise, stirring up Cruise's original family to become Mrs. Cruise, and since then from an unknown vase actor to Hollywood's top vase, more than ten years later, she also won the Oscar for Best Actress.

Thinking of these trivial information, Eric can only come to one conclusion, this is a very powerful woman.

Among the several women before and after Cruise, she is the only one who has developed the best, and even after divorcing Cruise, her career has not only not been affected, but has gone to the next level, and she soon entered the 20 million salary club, and won the Oscar for Best Actress.

Others, such as Cruise's first wife, did not make any impression at all, and the last wife, Katie Helms, did not get any benefits from Cruise, and after the divorce, because of the status of the former Mrs. Cruise, no man even wanted or dared to date her.

During the interview in the morning, the more Eric thought about it, the more interested he became in this woman, and during the lunch break, Eric glanced at the female assistant who had been trying to seduce him, and came to the stairwell at the end of the hallway.

"Eric, is there something wrong?" Linda looked at Eric curiously and a little nervously, she felt that she was not prepared yet, this little director would not be doing something here.

"That's right, Linda," Eric said, pulling out a page of information, "Miss Nicole Kidman, after she's done with her interview in the afternoon, you bring her to my office and ask her to wait for me there, and I'd like to talk to her alone." ”

Linda took the information, looked at Nicole Kidman's photo, and found that this woman was far more beautiful than herself, a little lost but still nodded: "Okay, Eric, I'll tell her, you ...... Is there anything else?"

Eric shook his head honestly, "No. ”

"Oh," Linda lowered her head, her heels rubbing against the concrete floor a few times, and just mustered up the courage to raise her head to say something, only to find that there was no one in front of her.

"This little guy who doesn't understand the amorous feelings, it's really ...... It's infuriating. The girl stomped her foot and turned and walked back in disappointment.

After an afternoon of auditions, the remaining five roles have been preliminarily determined, Eric also met Nicole Kidman, who participated in the audition at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the girl's performance was not problematic at all, but compared with the image of Lisa Kudrow in memory, Nicole Kidman looked too beautiful.

Monica Geller's character has already been identified as a brunette beauty, somewhat similar to Courteney Cox, and if Phoebe Buffet chooses another big beauty, the sitcom will definitely be a little distorted. So Eric, John and the others basically unanimously did not consider Nicole Kidman, and chose another girl with a more ordinary appearance.

At five o'clock, the auditions were over, and Eric, John Aniston, and others had been discussing the shooting plan in the conference room until about 7 o'clock in the evening, and the group left.

Eric had a mess of thoughts in his mind, and he almost forgot what he had told the female assistant before, and he only remembered it when he walked out of the company office building, and quickly turned back. Now it's all dark, and Eric isn't sure if Nicole Kidman will leave early, but this is unlikely, with this woman's cleverness, it is impossible to leave early, and it is estimated that even if Eric doesn't show up tonight, this woman will patiently stay in his office.

Pushing open the office door, sure enough, I saw a woman sitting on the sofa, only the desk lamp on the desk was turned on in the office, it seemed very dark, Eric still recognized the other party at a glance, and saw Eric open the door and come in, and the girl also stood up.

Eric closed the door and turned on the office lights before saying, "Hello, Miss Kidman." ”

"Hello, Mr. Williams. The girl did not have the slightest impatient look on her face, took two steps forward with a faint smile, and took the initiative to reach out and shake Eric's hand, Eric glanced at it inadvertently, and found that the girl was barefoot and had high heels next to her.

What a careful woman, she can even notice details like height. Eric is only in his early eights, and Nicole Kidman is probably the same height, and the girl may feel that if she wears high heels, she is taller than Eric, which may make him unhappy to do so.

Eric sighed inwardly and sat down in his place, "I'm sorry, Miss Kidman, for keeping you waiting, I've been in a meeting just now. ”

"It's okay, Mr. Williams, you can call me Nicole. ”

"Okay, Nicole, again, just call me Eric. Eric said, leaning back on the leather seat, no longer speaking, and carefully surveying the woman in front of him.

Nicole Kidman didn't rush to ask Eric about keeping her waiting here, maybe she didn't think she needed to ask, it was obvious, wasn't it?
