"Maybe it's because "Titanic" has absorbed too much popularity in the film market at one time, and this summer file is simply a disaster for live-action blockbusters, "The Fifth Element", "Prison in the Sky", "Godzilla", "Chrono Contact", "Batman and Robin" The average production cost reached 100 million US dollars, but the box office performance was not as good as one, and the five big-budget movies failed one after another, which made people have to worry about "007: Casino Royale".
As we all know, this is Eric Williams' first film after "Jurassic Park" set a global box office record of $1 billion, although in the past four years, the Firefly Group has continuously emerged "The Lion King", "Solo Day", "Jurassic Park 2", "Titanic" and the current "Finding Nemo" and other excellent films with the global box office, and the secret agent cinematic universe created by MGM Pictures, which is secretly controlled by Eric Williams, has gradually taken shape. But Eric Williams has been gone for four years after all, and the growing size of the Firefly Group will certainly consume too much of his energy, and in this kind of busy business situation for four years without touching the pipeline, it is difficult to imagine that "007: Casino Royale" will still be able to maintain the level of his previous films. ”
"What's more, in this summer when blockbusters are gathered but frequently fail, the audience may have completely lost patience with the continuous bad movies, although the 007 series has a very stable box office appeal, but this series has lasted for more than 30 years after all, the production model is old-fashioned and rigid, and it is not easy to seek a breakthrough. If "007: Casino Royale" can't surprise us on the basis of the original 007 series, it is conceivable that this first big movie in the history of 007 with a production cost of more than 100 million US dollars will usher in the same dismal end as the previous films. ”
On the medium-sized Boeing 767 airliner, the girl looked at the "Los Angeles Times" in his hand next to Eric with her little head, and said dissatisfied: "These people can really talk nonsense, why can't they see that you are leading behind the movies "Titanic" and "Lonely Day". ”
Eric put down the newspaper in his hand, changed it to another one, and said with a smile: "I think it makes sense, and besides, if the movie really hits the street, they can be regarded as making excuses for me in advance, how sweet." ”
"Hehe," the girl grinned, leaned over, and said, "Eric, Casino Royale is so good, it's something that everyone who has seen it agrees with, so you won't fail." ”
"Not now, and it doesn't mean it won't in the future, everyone will fail."
"Then it doesn't matter," the girl said, her little body greasy pasted over, rubbing, "Eric, let's go to the front bedroom, it's definitely exciting to do it on the plane." ”
Eric gestured to the light outside the porthole, and said, "It's daytime, if you're tired, go sleep by yourself, there's no reason to cry out again this time." ”
The two are now flying on a Boeing 767-200ER midsize airliner, which is also the largest private jet owned by ALC, a well-known aviation leasing company in Los Angeles, which was originally only chartered for groups, although it has been modified, but still carries 50 passengers at a time. Because there is a very comfortable and luxurious presidential suite in the cabin, it was favored by the girl and rented it for this transoceanic voyage.
Eric's schedule is relatively tight, the Renton premiere will be held tomorrow night, most of the main creators of the crew have arrived in London, Eric only had time to leave today, in addition to the crew, there are less than ten passengers on the plane, Eric and the girl, twins, and Eric's assistant and four accompanying bodyguards.
Listening to Eric's ridicule, the girl stretched her small body comfortably, but pretended to be dissatisfied: "It's still small." ”
Eric smiled and said, "Looks like I should hang you outside the plane, there's a lot of space there." ”
The girl smiled and slapped Eric on him, seeing that Eric deliberately diverted the topic and didn't mean to go to the bedroom to do something he liked to do, her eyes rolled and said, "By the way, Eric, you wait a minute." ”
Before Eric could ask anything, the girl got up and left the suite and walked towards the back of the airport.
Somewhat inexplicable, Eric shrugged his shoulders, leaned back comfortably on the couch, and flipped up the newspaper in his hand.
About ten minutes later, two tall figures walked in quietly, Eric caught a glimpse of a touch of sky blue, thinking it was the flight attendant on the plane, so he didn't care, but the two girls came to him in a blink of an eye, four slender and straight white thighs made people intuitive and dazzling, this flight attendant skirt was obviously much shorter, and the line of sight went up, the sky blue top was too close-fitting, and the curve of the chest was more perfect, and there were two silk scarves obliquely tied around the neck, and then up, there were two identical faces with a slight crimson.
Looking at Eric, the twins' expressions were a little more shy, they had been together for so long, and Eric also knew that although the two girls had good skills, they were very conservative.
Without waiting for Eric to say anything, Natasha on the left put the tray in her hand on the coffee table in front of Eric, bent down and asked softly, "Master, do you want coffee?" ”
The original visual stimulation has already made people's blood rise, Barbie's face, white and tender long legs, and with the flight attendant uniform, this is already unbearable, seeing Natasha bent down and the neckline open, Eric suddenly felt that something was wrong, sniffled, quickly raised his head, and reached out to cover it in a panic.
Departing from Los Angeles at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, the Boeing 767 landed at Heathrow Airport in the western suburbs of London after an eleven-hour flight, already at six o'clock local time on Thursday morning.
Barbara Brookley and Michael Wilson, the producers of the 007 series who came to pick up the plane in person, felt that Drew was very strange, and hung on Eric from time to time, as if he thought of something unspeakable, and laughed very unvividly, and occasionally whispered a few words in Eric's ear, although Eric's expression was well concealed, but from time to time it would show a little embarrassment.
After a while, the Brockley siblings separated a black Mercedes and gave it to Eric and the girl, and everyone drove away from the airport.
The paparazzi in London had apparently been informed that they were unable to get Eric and his party from outside the departure hall because they were using the VIP lane, but as soon as several cars left the airport, there were tailgating people with cameras in motorcyclists.
The girl didn't care about the fly-like paparazzi around her, and when the car drove smoothly onto the road, she suddenly couldn't help laughing a few times and pounced softly on Eric. Glancing at the driving twins in front of her, the girl raised her face and gently bit Eric's ear, and her tone was very dissatisfied: "It's really hateful, Eric, you've never had a nosebleed in front of me." ”
"Well, it's been so long, I suggest we forget about it, okay?"
"Hmph, it's not good at all," the girl ignored the twins' already crimson faces in the front row, and didn't give up: "It's a pity, if only I had a camera with me, if I sold those photos to these guys outside, maybe I could make a small fortune, hehe." ”
"Let's think about the premiere in the evening, how did you get Prince Charles here?"
The girl stopped bothering Eric and said, "I told them that if they didn't want to go to this premiere, I'd invite Diana." ”
Eric knew that the girl wouldn't do that, but he chimed in, "Well, that's ruthless enough." ”
"Of course," the girl laughed proudly, and saw a paparazzi next to the car approaching on a motorcycle, making a difficult action of taking pictures of the car window, a little dissatisfied, and said to Natasha in the front row: "Drive faster, get rid of them, it's really annoying." ”
Eric glanced out the window, looked at the paparazzi who were following on a motorcycle, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "You mean, the house you bought last time is next to Kensington Palace?" ”
"yes, Kensington Garden Street, you'll see it later, great house." The girl nodded, and suddenly seemed to understand something, and said, "Diana is still living in Kensington Palace, hehe, Eric, if you are interested, you can go and say hello." ”
Eric just looked at the paparazzi who were following him again, and in his memory, Princess Diana's car accident should have been August 1997, and now it will be July. It's just that I don't know if this will happen.
Eric is not a conspiracy theorist, but he also knows that there is too much dirt going on in the upper echelons of society.
After thinking about it for a while, Eric decided to ignore it. If it doesn't happen, that's a good thing. If it happens, it doesn't matter, perhaps, just like Marilyn Monroe, a woman who suddenly died at a moment of glory can leave a legend in people's hearts.
More than half an hour later, the car crossed Kensington Street in London's West End and turned into a heavily guarded street west of Kensington Park.
After walking through the tree-lined streets for a while, the car entered the courtyard of a mansion, and when she got off in the parking lot, the girl pulled Eric and pointed to the southeast, with a bad expression, and said, "There, Eric, it's there." ”
Eric knew that the girl was talking about Princess Diana's residence, and he didn't care, just looked at the white English castle-style building in front of him.
Seeing that the Brockley brothers and sisters also got out of the car, and several bodyguards began to unload Eric and Drew's luggage from the official car, the girl stopped continuing the topic, and instead put her arm around Eric and asked, "Eric, how is the house?" It's very big inside, a total of 12 bedrooms, the living room can accommodate 100 people for a party at the same time, and the basement, which was originally a collection of art, but the previous owner went bankrupt a few years ago and sold it, and we can change it into a screening room in the future. Oh, there was originally a team of housekeepers here, and I knew you didn't like it, so we disbanded them, and when we weren't there, the house would be cleaned and maintained once a week. ”
Seeing the twins step forward and open the door to the villa, Eric said to the Brockley siblings, "Let's go in and talk, honestly, it's my first time here." ”
The Brockley siblings smiled and nodded, and walked into the villa with Eric.
Drew instructed the bodyguards to carry several large suitcases into the living room, and after a few words, he sent them away along with Eric's assistant. Kensington Garden Street is inhabited by the super-rich, and the gate is very strictly guarded, which is one of the safest places in London, and there is no need for bodyguards to guard the house at all times, and Eric is not used to this. If something really happens, having twins is enough, although the two girls seem harmless to humans and animals, but Eric, who has personally fought (beaten) with the two girls, naturally knows the strength of the two of them, and the girl also specially sent them to receive formal security training, and the two girls are not much different from the official bodyguards.
The girl packed her luggage with the twins, and Eric sat down with the Brockley siblings in the living room and chatted about the premiere of "007: Casino Royale" tonight.
The premiere is scheduled to take place at London's Royal Albert Hall, which is just a few hundred metres away from Kensington Park, just a few hundred metres from Garden Street. In addition to the main creative team of "007: Casino Royale", the crew also invited some local stars and heavyweight guests such as Prince Charles.
Considering that Eric and Drew had just been on a ten-hour plane and would definitely need to rest, the Brockley siblings didn't stay long, briefly talked about some details of the premiere, and took the initiative to leave.
Sending the Brockley brothers and sisters out of the villa together, Eric returned to the living room, and the girl next to him blinked and said expectantly: "Eric, I'm not sleepy, why don't we go out for a walk?" ”
Although it was late at night in Los Angeles, the girl was not tired at all because she had enough rest on the plane. Eric was actually the same, but he still said, "It may be late tonight to rest, so you might as well go lie down first." I've got some things on my side, and Peter will send some later. ”
Drew suddenly looked curious: "What? ”
Eric did not hide it, saying: "It's some book manuscripts, the development of Disney live-action movies has stagnated a bit in recent years, and I plan to pick some children's books to develop, but there is nothing satisfactory about the children's books that have been published." Before I arrived, I asked Liz to say hello to HarperCollins UK, and they would send me some unpublished manuscripts, and I wanted to see if I could find an interesting story. ”
HarperCollins is one of the world's largest publishers of English-language books and a wholly owned subsidiary of News Corp.
Eric's purpose in doing this was naturally to find the Harry Potter series, which was once the world's most popular fantasy literary novel in history. In the original time and space, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" should have been published, but although Eric has been secretly concerned, he has never found any trace of this book, considering that J.K. Rowling has been rejected by a series of publishing houses of the 'past', Eric plans to look for the manuscripts that have been eliminated by the publishing house first, if the book is really completely ' Fan' off, then I have to find someone to write it, no matter what, Eric will not give up this series that is suitable for Disney in any way, and the copyright of this series in the original time and space actually fell into the hands of Time Warner, which should definitely be Disney's biggest mistake.
