"Hello, Mr. Williams, I like you very much, not only is the plot of this movie great, but the soundtrack is also very good, especially the bus encounter, I heard that this song was written by you, which is so surprising. Eric's amiable appearance made Quentin quickly open the conversation and talk directly about the one that Eric is still in theaters, although he admires Eric's achievements in movies, however, he has no feelings about Eric's previous movies, except for the recent one, which has a unique style.
Eric smiled modestly: "Actually, the soundtrack artist also contributed a lot, I just provided some inspiration. ”
"No, you can't say that, when it comes to music, inspiration is the most important thing," Quentin immediately retorted.
Lawrence Bender next to him was a little anxious, he knew that this meeting was only an hour, looking at the staff around him, he knew that the other party might start work at any time, in this case, although talking about music or something can be set up, but it can't waste too much time. However, he didn't dare to interrupt the conversation between the two, and could only glance at Quentin gently.
Eric saw that Lawrence Bender was a little anxious, and he didn't talk to Quentin much, and said directly: "Let's go to the lounge and talk, and have a working meal together by the way, compared to you haven't eaten yet." ”
"Of course, thank you, Mr. Williams. ”
"Just call me Eric," Eric replied, glancing not far away, "Wait a minute, both of you." After saying that, he hurriedly walked towards Drew and Aniston, and the two baby bumps seemed to be about to make trouble again, and if they fought here, it would be a big game.
"Hey, Drew, Jenny, what are you talking about?" asked Eric as he approached, glaring at each other as they looked at each other, as if ready to make a move.
When the little girl saw Eric walk in, she immediately gave up the confrontation with Aniston, ran over first, put her arm around Eric, and complained: "She was the one who provoked the trouble first, Eric, I just said hello to her, and then she was annoyed, so stingy." ”
"It's you......" Aniston showed an aggrieved and angry look, glaring at Eric, yes, glaring at Eric, not Drew, which made Eric a little inexplicable, so he had to ask: "Girl, how did you say hello to Jenny?"
Drew didn't seem to see Aniston's annoyed look, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "It's nothing, she came out of the room, I just stepped up and slapped her ass and said, 'Hey, big fat girl, your ass is a lot rounder', and then she was in a hurry." ”
The corners of Eric's mouth twitched, and he didn't need to look at the small flame in Aniston's eyes to understand why the chick was angry. The girl's words were completely unintentional, probably just to tease Aniston for gaining weight and something like that, but it hit a mess that the chick didn't want to mention the most, and it is estimated that the chick thought he told Drew about the mess, so there was Drew this ridicule.
Thinking of this, Eric let go of the girl, stepped forward and hugged the chick, and explained in Aniston's ear: "Okay Jenny, Drew is definitely unintentional, don't be like her." ”
"You promise?" Aniston blinked.
Eric patted the chick on the back, "I swear, that ...... How is that possible, right?"
"Well......" After the chick understood that it was a complete coincidence, she pushed Eric away: "Those two guests are still waiting, you go deal with them, I'll eat." ”
"I've gone to dinner too, I don't know how lunch is going here," the girl purred with big eyes, and turned away.
"This is the set, you two must not make trouble, be nice. Eric replied uneasily.
"Humph!"
"You still need to say it!"
The two girls said without looking back, and left separately.
Seeing the two girls going in different directions, Eric was relieved to take Lawrence Bender and Quentin Tarantino to the break room, and asked the assistant to bring three lunches.
"Drew has told me everything, so can you let me read the script first?" said Eric, seated at a simple table in the break room.
"Of course," Laurence Bender pulled the thick script from his satchel and shoved it in front of Eric.
Eric glanced at the name of the script, neither it, but the name, seeing this name, Eric couldn't help but pick in his heart, and then quietly opened the script.
Despite the name of the script, Eric already knew that there were many similarities between the script and Certain, and that the 'Seven Coloured Robbers' were faintly similar to the six robbers who robbed a jewelry store in his previous life under the code name of Six Colors. Eric also understands this situation, many screenwriters actually have some thoughts in their minds for several years before writing a script, but the scripts written at different times will definitely be very different.
It's impossible for ordinary people to appreciate this difference, but as a traverser, Eric was lucky enough to encounter this kind of thing, and it's quite interesting to think about.
The assistant quickly brought three bento boxes with a few bottles of water.
"Quentin, Lawrence, eat first, leave me alone. Eric looked up at the two who were staring at him wistfully, and instructed.
"Of course, thank you. Quentin and Lawrence hurriedly grabbed the cutlery, opened the bento, and ate a few bites randomly, but in this case, neither of them had any appetite, but looked like students waiting for the results of the exam.
Eric also noticed the movements of the two people, and did not persuade again, but turned another page of the script.
The plot is roughly the same as what I saw in my previous life, and it is still the story of a gang boss who gathers a few people who don't know each other to rob a jewelry store and is ambushed by the police. However, as can be seen from the name, the six robbers in the previous life became seven.
As for the plot, from the very beginning of the script, Quentin's nagging style is unabashedly displayed. This was followed by a failed robbery, and the two robbers fled in their car to the bridge section of the rendezvous site.
Of course, in this script, Quentin is still like in his previous life, imitating several scenes in Hong Kong films, Eric remembered that there were rumors in his previous life, and Quentin went to Hong Kong to explain this to the director, but in Eric's opinion, this is completely a report of the media tabloids pasting gold on his face.
Because of the comparison of the original version in his mind, Eric only took more than twenty minutes to read the script of nearly 100 pages.
After putting down the script, Eric looked at the two of them with apprehensive expressions and nodded: "It's not bad, let's eat first." ”
Quentin and Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and since Eric said so, then the possibility of investing in the film is very high, and in order to increase the success rate, Lawrence listed the budget for the film at the back of the script, about a million dollars.
Both believe that their unique style of film should arouse Eric's interest, and with a budget of only $1 million, it is believed that for Eric's current net worth, investing in this film will be no problem at all. In fact, if it weren't for the power to personally direct and produce the movie, the two would not have to choose Eric.
Thinking of this, Quentin and Lawrence also followed with a relaxed face to eat lunch, and waited outside the Fox set for two hours, both of them already hungry.
After lunch, Eric picked up the script again: "Listen to Drew, you two plan to make this movie yourself?"
"Yes, Eric, I'...... We already had experience working on a film before, so I thought it would be perfectly fine for the two of us to work on the script on our own. ”
Eric nodded noncommittally and flipped through a few pages before he said, "You have your own film company now, right?"
The two didn't understand why Eric suddenly asked this, and after looking at each other, Lawrence Bander nodded: "Yes, it's called 'band-apart', the name was given by Quentin, and it was inspired by the early film of Godard, the master of cinema. ”
Eric knew that Godard had made the famous film, so he didn't understand what the studio's name meant, and he didn't want to figure it out.
"Is that so, Lawrence, Quentin, interested in joining Firefly?"
"Huh?"
"Huh?" both of them uttered confused syllables at the same time.
Eric explained, "I mean, you two studios are just shells, are you interested in joining my Firefly studio? You know, my company is growing right now. ”
Quentin and Lawrence glanced at each other, they still have a certain understanding of Fireflies, although this film company was founded by Eric himself, and most of the films produced by Zuò are only Eric's personal films, but its strength should not be underestimated, if it can join, it will definitely be a good thing. It's just that the two of them are just nobodies now, and they don't understand why Eric would extend an olive branch to them, which doesn't make sense anyway.
