Thinking of the actor, Eric suddenly remembered that Michael Madsen, who played Mr. Kim in his previous life, was Virginia's brother, although he had known Virginia for more than half a year, however, Eric had never seen each other, he only learned in the chat with the girl that Virginia and her brother had a very good relationship, although Michael Madsen in his memory looked rough, as if he was born to play a villain, but in Virginia's narration, Eric knew that Michael Madsen was a very versatile person, he worked as a magician, liked photography, and loved to write poetry, in comparison, being an actor is more like a side hustle to make ends meet.

Although I have never seen each other yet, since Virginia is his own woman, Michael Madsen can be regarded as his own person, and it is Eric's consistent rule that fat water does not flow into outsiders' fields.

After asking for the script from Quentin to confirm the color on one side, Eric said directly: "In this way, Quentin, I just have a good candidate to recommend to you for the role of Mr. Kim, I believe you will definitely be satisfied." ”

Looking at Eric's smile as if he was not satisfied, Quentin Tarantino knew in his heart that even if he was not satisfied, he had to be satisfied.

However, Quentin was overjoyed that Eric had just made a condition not to interfere with the content of the film, and there was nothing unacceptable about directly inserting a person, according to the rules, Eric as an investor, even if he made all the actors, there was no problem.

"No problem, Eric, I'm sure the person you recommended must be good," Quentin replied with a smile, and a few people were about to continue the conversation when someone knocked on the door of the lounge, and a staff member came in, "Director Williams, it's time." ”

Eric looked at his watch and stood up, "So be it." ”

Quentin and Lawrence also quickly stood up and shook hands with Eric again, but then they were a little overwhelmed, what next?

Eric, who was about to leave in a hurry, saw the appearance of the two of them, and patted his head with a smile: "I'm sorry, I've been too busy lately, and I'm a little lost, come with me." ”

After calling his assistant Alan to explain, Eric said to the two: "This is Alan, my assistant, he will take you to Mr. Jeffrey Hansen, you can discuss specific matters with him." ”

Sending the two away, Eric was about to return to work when the little girl suddenly appeared and came to him.

Eric was a little surprised: "Why haven't you left yet?"

Drew seemed to be a little unhappy, and when he heard Eric say this, he became even more angry, and retorted with his little hands on his waist: "Why should I go, I just won't go!"

Eric shrugged, anyway, Xiao Nizi was quite obedient when she visited the set a few days ago: "Okay, whatever you want, just don't make trouble." ”

"Well, Eric, I don't think they like me very much," the girl stepped forward and put her arm around Eric as she walked to the studio's workspace and whispered into his ear. When she was in the crew, she was treated like a little princess, and there was nothing she couldn't instruct. But not only did she not know the staff here, but she was also a little distant from her, although she was polite, she maintained a kind of distance.

Eric greeted and let the crew start to prepare, only then rubbed the girl's little head and explained with a smile: "You don't understand this? Jenny's father is the producer of this TV series, everyone here is found by John, here Jenny is the princess, she doesn't like you, of course these people will alienate you." ”

"Well, that's a snob!" the girl pouted.

"It's just a natural reaction for people to seek advantage and avoid disadvantage, not even office politics, if they are too close to you, they may be inexplicably wearing small shoes," Eric said with a smile as he sat down in the director's chair, looking at the figures walking around the neighborhood to prepare for the shoot, and took the shooting log handed over by his assistant.

In fact, the reason why Drew is alienated here is mainly because Aniston is too popular in the crew, although Xiao 丨 Niu also has personal likes and dislikes, but she is very good at making friends, not only mingling with several other leading actors, but even most of the crew likes her very much, plus Xiao Niu's father as a producer, it is not unusual for the crew to alienate Drew, Aniston's potential 'love rival'.

In comparison, although Drew is also very sociable, but his personality is a little more perverse, before Eric's appearance, a very self-aware girl is usually not qualified and strong to show this side of her personality, but now with Eric's support, Xiao Nizi seems to be no longer so restrained, and when the crew visits the class, she looks like a spoiled little princess. can carry the crew's six-figure camera around during the tense filming of the movie, and only this girl can do it, and she will not be blasted out.

But Eric is not worried at all that this favor will make the girl become out of control, he knows that Drew actually knows what he is doing very well in his heart, the girl is just too lacking in the favor that should have been received when she was a child, once she gets these things from Eric, she becomes a little 'greedy', and always wants to take advantage of the fact that she can still be spoiled, and when she is still legally underage, she will get more and make up for it.

"Forget it, I'd better go back," the girl stood up with Eric's body, since she was not welcome here, the girl didn't want to bother to change the situation: "Eric, did you do what you promised me last night?"

"What's the matter?" Aniston, who was holding the script, walked over, and when she heard Drew's words, she looked at Eric with a slight frown and dissatisfaction.

"On the table in the study, you can go and see for yourself, I wrote a lot on a whim, you can pick one and operate it yourself. Eric said, giving the little girl a look that he would explain to you later.

Drew smiled sweetly, suddenly leaned down in front of Aniston, kissed Eric on the face, left a striking lipstick mark, and then twisted his little ass and turned away.

"Wear so little, like a street girl on the side of the road at night," the little girl looked at the back of Drew leaving, and said in a sour tone, the girl is already in her early sixties, not only slender and slender, but also has milky white skin that many women envy, in this regard, Aniston, who has a somewhat dark complexion, is a little jealous.

As if sensing something, Drew, who was about to walk to the door of the studio, suddenly turned around, stretched out the small parasol in his hand, wore heart-shaped sunglasses, stood on tiptoe and spun around in a charming manner, and then fell backwards and spat out his little pink tongue at Aniston with a grimace.

This situation made Xiao 丨 Niu angry at the same time, but also made many crew members who saw this situation stunned, all the people present were people in the film and television industry, there are not a few people who have watched Kubrick's part, Xiao Nizi is wearing a T-shirt and hot pants, revealing her pink arms and white legs, plus the black nail polish on her toes to add the strangeness, every move, the woman's style and the naughtiness of the girl make all men with normal hormones jump in their hearts.

"It's a waste of time," the little girl said to Eric with a depressed face, "Are you sure she's going to a Catholic school, not somewhere else?"

Eric smiled and took Aniston's little hand: "Okay, Jenny, don't be angry, Drew is like this, you haven't seen it, by the way, what's the matter with me?"

Aniston pointed to Eric's cheek, "You should wipe the lipstick marks off your face first." ”

Eric was slightly embarrassed to find a tissue to wipe his face, and let the little girl confirm the side, Aniston reluctantly discussed the script in her hand with Eric, she felt that she had some good ideas.

Over the next few days, filming continued in an orderly manner, during which Eric had a meal with Miramax's Weinstein brothers and talked about the acquisition. However, because the Weinstein brothers just released Steven Soderbergh's operation to win the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival during this time, and it did a good box office, the price offered far exceeded Eric's expectations.

Coupled with the fact that Firefly had already begun to contact Robert Shea's new line for acquisitions, Eric put aside the idea of annexing Miramax for the time being. The reason why Miramax stood out in the independent film circle in his previous life and was recruited by Disney, in addition to Soderbergh's fame for Miramax, the biggest contributor is Quentin's and other works, and the latter is obviously more important, because of Quentin's unexpected success in his previous life, independent films quickly attracted the attention of major film companies, and as one of them, Miramax was able to develop rapidly.

But now, Quentin has defected to Eric, and since the two sides have cooperated, Eric will definitely not push Quentin out again.

Well, now without Quentin, Miramax's future prospects are difficult to say, although the other party can still say that he has the card of Soderbergh, but since Soderbergh became famous and won the Cannes Palme d'Or with the youngest seniority, he has been silent for ten years without any works, and the box office is a mess, and it did not begin to explode until after the new century. In this case, it is difficult for Miramax to rise according to the original trajectory.

The reason why Eric wanted to acquire the new line and win Miramax at the same time was that the two brothers valued their talents in various awards and public relations, and in their previous life, the Weinstein brothers were known as the Oscar gold medal promoters, so Eric made up his mind to bring the two of them under his command. As for the other party's equally praised eye for picking films, Eric has a greater advantage in this regard, and he has a lot of classic films he has seen in his previous life.

didn't take Miramax for the time being, Eric is not in a hurry, anyway, the trajectory of history has changed, maybe with the talent of the Weinstein brothers, he can still live nourishingly in the independent film circle, but if he wants to be as dazzling as in his previous life, because of Eric's survival, this matter is unlikely. The development trajectory of the other party is at most like a new line, growing step by step. Then even if the other party develops for another ten years, Eric will have the opportunity to take the other party over and honestly promote the Oscar for himself.
