Chapter 108: Do You Believe in Love at First Sight?

Motorola promised to pay $3 million in sponsorship, but only if the actor was Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks, as previously revealed. ”

"Lamborghini's sponsorship offer this time is a one-time payment of $800,000, and the other party has learned wisely and no longer accepts the rule of floating sponsorship fees according to the box office. ”

"For the rest, Ray-Ban Sunglasses offered $500,000 for a close-up of more than 5 seconds of footage of the Ray-Ban Glasses logo in the movie, and Hershey's Chocolate Confectionery offered $500,000 to buy out the product placement for the box bomb......"

In the conference room, Jeffrey spoke excitedly, reading one by one the offers of various sponsors interested in buying product placement.

In fact, Eric also has the same copy of the article in his hand, but Jeffrey just can't help but read it, he is so happy, if the quotation on the article is finally finalized, it means that the movie has not started shooting, and Firefly has made a profit of more than 6 million US dollars.

In this era, Hollywood has more than 500 movies that have the opportunity to appear on the theatrical screen every year, but even if you count the peripheral profits such as video tape broadcast rights in the later stage, the profit will not exceed 6 million US dollars.

Eric reviewed his opinions on the back of those advertising offers one by one, and then closed the above folder and handed it to Jeffrey: "Okay, Jeffrey, it's only more than $6 million in sponsorship, and you're happy like this?"

"That's just over $6 million," Jeffrey looked up dissatisfied, repeating Eric's words, and retorted, "Eric, do you have what it takes to find me another movie that can get $6 million in sponsorship?"

"Not now, doesn't mean there won't be in the future," Eric said, "Maybe in another ten or twenty years, the film will be able to recoup most of its cost by product placement alone." ”

"There is no need to wait for ten or twenty years," Jeffrey said with some emotion: "If it was the last film, if we got so much sponsorship, it would have been considered a recovery of costs." ”

"There is absolutely no objection to this assumption," Eric suddenly remembered another very important thing: "Did you tell these sponsors about the secrecy before the release of the film?"

"Of course I won't forget," Jeffrey replied, "and I've explained the stakes to them, and the sponsors won't say a word about the film until it's released." ”

Eric nodded reassuringly, stood up and asked, "That's good, today's audition is about to start again, do you still want to come?"

"Forget it, it's too torturous, I won't go" Jeffrey hurriedly refused, originally he still enjoyed the producer's power over the actor's life and death, but unfortunately he sat behind the audition table for several days in a row, asking questions repeatedly, watching the auditioning actor's performance over and over again, and slowly, the previous sense of superiority completely disappeared, leaving only boredom and exhaustion.

The actor auditions in the past few days have also made Eric dizzy, and this is mainly the audition for the role, for each role, there are hundreds of actors who have been qualified for the audition, and they have gone through a lot of screening. In addition, some of the eliminated actors also want to get a second chance to audition from time to time through various ways, in short, they are disturbing and make people's heads big.

Eric has decided to give the auditions for the two films to directors Jonathan Demmy and Martin Brest, and he plans to let the two directors select up to 10 candidates first, and then go to the third round of auditions, which will be much easier.

The only thing that is a little better than the various villain roles auditioned a few days ago is that today's audition is Andy's role as Yoyo, the meeting girl on the bus, who is the third party who was teased by friends or pseudo-friends as a third party who intervened in the pure and beautiful relationship between Andy and Sean.

Of course, this is just a joke. Although the two protagonists are full of coolness, it is a sad and cold story overall, if the cute goods of the "Chief Inspector Huang Qiqi of the Serious Crime Unit" are the joys in the story, yoyo is the warm color. A story, full of joys, sorrows, and joys, just like life.

Eric's previous standard for this role was 18 to 30 years old, a beautiful woman with the temperament of a professional beauty. So, today's audition process is definitely eye-catching.

……

A girl walked out of the audition room, gently pulled the door, and after turning around, the expression on her face quickly put away, ignoring all kinds of searching eyes in the corridor, carrying her bag to the agent waiting not far away, the two whispered a few words before walking out.

The staff came out and read another name, another girl was called in, and the next one was herself, and Gwyneth Paltrow took out the makeup mirror in her bag and checked her makeup again.

She was born in 1972 and is only 17 years old this year, and according to the standards set by Eric, Gwyneth would not have even gotten an audition shot. However, this did not bother her, as she knew Drew, who was close to Eric Williams, and both of them had Steven Spielberg's godfather.

That little blue pool, which is said to have been raised by Eric Williams, is really getting less and less successful.

Gwyneth's father is a producer, her mother is a well-known film and television actress, and her family conditions are a hundred times stronger than Drew, and she has looked down on Drew who is cute with a baby face since she was a child. Even at Spielberg's parties, Gwyneth rarely greeted Drew, preferring to spend time with peers who were in a similar family situation to her family, so that she could help her future development.

However, when she learned that there was an opportunity to work with big names such as Eric Williams, Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks, Gwyneth, who was ready to enter Hollywood, was immediately intrigued.

If she can get this role, then her career in Hollywood will be even higher than www.biquge.info of those young actors who have struggled for many years. So without hesitation, Gwyneth immediately contacted Drew, hoping that the other party could help her get an audition opportunity.

Although she didn't have a close relationship with Drew before, the two of them didn't have much of a holiday. That little Bichi was coaxed into a few words by himself and agreed, it's so foolish, no wonder he has fallen to the point of being raised now. Gwyneth thought so contemptuously, that less than five minutes later, the girl who had just entered walked out with a look of loss.

The eyes of all the waiting actresses in the corridor lit up, and there was one less contender.

"Next, Miss Gwyneth Paltrow. ”

Gwyneth quickly stood up, took a deep breath and adjusted her state, walked into the audition room with a faint smile, and sat down in a chair. Looking confidently ahead, he looked at the blonde young man sitting in the middle with his head bowed and writing something, it was Eric Williams, he was really handsome.

Gwyneth's heart beat a little faster, and she couldn't help but fantasize about whether the other party would invite her to dinner, perhaps, she should refuse the other party once first, to show her reserve, men are too easy to get and will not cherish it. She is quite confident in her looks.

After more than ten seconds, the young man opposite raised his head with a smile on his face: "Hello, Miss Paltrow, let's introduce yourself first." ”

In a brief eye contact with the other party, Gwyneth could see that Eric Williams must know herself, which made her feel a little excited, it seemed that the little blue pool still worked, at least the other party did not treat herself as a stranger.

"Hi, my name is Gwyneth Paltrow, I'm 17 years old and I'm a ...... graduate."

After a brief introduction, Eric asked, "Miss Paltrow, it shows that you haven't been involved in any movies before, how do you think you got the role?"

Gwyneth still had a smile on her face, she had just made some preparations for this question, and replied unhurriedly: "Because I was born in an acting family, my mother was an actress, when I was very young, I began to help my mother with the lines, in this situation, I have always maintained a strong interest in acting, since middle school, I have been the backbone of the school drama club, participated in many famous stage plays, and accumulated rich acting experience." ”

After Gwyneth finished speaking, she saw several judges on the opposite side nodding at the same time.

"Miss Paltrow, do you believe in love at first sight?" asked another question on the other side.

Gwyneth was stunned for a moment, completely unaware of the other party's intention in asking this question, as a Westerner who is easy to rub hormonal sparks in her bones, Gwyneth still believes in love at first sight, however, she thinks that if she answers like that, it will not seem that she is rash.

There was no urging on the other side, Gwyneth thought for more than half a minute before saying, "No, I don't believe in love at first sight, compared to it, I am more willing to accept the sincere feelings cultivated by being together for a long time." ”
