Chapter 776: Jumping
According to the initial plan for the MGM Agent Cinematic Universe, the entire series will involve "007", "Breaking Bad", "Mission Impossible", "Spy Movie" and more spy movie brands that may be discovered in the future.
In order to maintain fans' interest and attention to the series, the plot intersection of the three movie series will be very deliberate and slow, and eventually form a large assembly like Marvel's "Avengers" in the original time and space.
According to MGM's established film schedule, "Breaking Bads 2", which will be released this summer, because the Charlie Detective Agency to which the three girls belong does not belong to the Zhengfu organization, so the film will still maintain a separate plot system for the time being, but there will be Easter eggs of the Impossible Mission Team (IMF) related to Ethan Hunt in the movie.
"Mission Impossible 2", which was released at the end of the year, can be regarded as the official beginning of the entire Secret Service Cinematic Universe plan, in the plot of "Mission Impossible 2" that has started filming, Ethan Hunter will destroy a criminal plan of a ghost party offline organization, and thus discover the huge ghost party organization hidden behind the scenes, and the US government that obtained relevant information realized the horror and destruction of the ghost party to global security, so it provided the information to the security departments of the ally countries, hoping to work together to destroy the ghost party with forces all over the world.
As a result, in the established easter egg of "Mission Impossible 2", there will be a footage of Mrs. M introducing James Bond to the Ghost Party-related information obtained from the CIA.
The plot of "007: Casino Royale" is not only related to "Mission Impossible 2", but also can be regarded as a new beginning.
With the collapse of the Soviet Union, James Bond, who had been fighting against it for decades, lost his old enemy, and in the previous episode, the original good brother 006 accidentally defected, causing 007 to become disheartened and even have the idea of retiring.
Mrs. M, of course, was reluctant to let her right-hand man go, and just sent Bond on vacation to the Panama Islands.
In Panama, Bond's amorous temperament flares up again, and he accidentally hooks up with a married woman, and the husband of this married woman happens to be an insignificant little minion of the ghost group, because Bond accidentally intervenes, and one of the little minions' actions unexpectedly fails, and the powerful ghost party quickly notices the identity of 007, so the little minion and his wife are mistaken for a mutinous organization and are brutally executed by the ghost party.
The tragic death of the temporary bed partner touched Bond, so he decided to investigate the root cause in private, and at this time, MI6 also obtained the ghost party information held by Ethan Hunt in "Mission Impossible 2", and in the process of Bond's private investigation, because of the illegal borrowing of MI6 channels, he was noticed by Mrs. M, and accidentally discovered that the events experienced by Bond were also related to the ghost party organization hidden in the shadows.
Mrs. M recalls Bond, shows him all the information about the Phantom Party, and based on the clues that MI6 has already seized, it is determined that a gambling game that is about to take place at the Royal Casino of the Republic of Montenegro may be related to the Phantom Party, so Bond is sent to the Republic of Montenegro to participate in this shocking gamble.
The new 007 can be regarded as a new beginning, and at the same time, this sequel will also be a nirvana for James Bond, who embarks on a journey again after experiencing unforgettable love and finding a new battle goal.
The filming was mainly done by the Barbara Brockley siblings, while Eric was based in Los Angeles and focused on the casting of the new Bond.
Although the hero and heroine have been decided, "007: Casino Royale" still has a large number of supporting roles that need to be checked by Eric himself.
"Well, thank you for coming to the audition today, Mickey, and I'll let you know the results as soon as possible," Eric stood up and shook hands with the actor in his forties, in an audition room at Firefly Studios.
This middle-aged man who always seems to have a little evil smile on the corner of his mouth is named Mickey Rourke, who was also a handsome guy in Hollywood in the seventies and eighties, and in 1986 Mickey Rourke became famous with a restricted "Nine and a Half Weeks of Love".
It's just that after that, Mickey Locke's star path has not been smooth, because although this guy is handsome, he always has a bit of an evil aura that is very suitable for playing a villain, so it is difficult to get a starring role in a big-budget mainstream movie, and Eric's memory of Mickey Rock is probably only the whip in his previous life "Iron Man 2".
Today's audition happens to be the original Casino Royale that temperament often bleeding from the corners of the eyes of Cherichor, although the plot has been changed a lot, but the original version of Cherevor's character is very outstanding, so Eric did not change the general setting of this character.
Mickey Rourke let go of Eric's hand and said, "I'm honored to be part of this audition, Eric, and I'm looking forward to working with you." ”
Sending Mickey Rourke away, Eric returned to his seat and asked the production assistant next to him, "Is there anything next?"
The production assistant shook his head and said, "Mr. Williams, it's half past five, and Mickey Rourke is the last one today." ”
Eric raised his hand and looked at his watch, nodded and said, "In that case, let's get off work and continue tomorrow." ”
Today's audition did not meet too suitable candidates, although Mickey Rourke has enough acting skills and looks very suitable for playing the villain, but Eric needs a gloomy temperament, not an actor with an evil appearance. The original Cheriff actor Max Mickelson has just made his debut and is not yet thirty years old, which also does not fit the character setting.
Walking out of the audition room, Eric got into his car and left the studio to return to Malibu.
There's another date today, but it's not actually a date.
When his assistant forwarded Miranda Kerr's email to his mailbox, Eric didn't pay much attention and sent the girl an email back with his personal email address. Then he was entangled by the shrewd leprechaun, and these days Miranda Kerr would always send several emails to Eric twice in three days, and Eric did not block the girl, and regarded the occasional small talk with Miranda Kerr as a spice for work.
Recently, Miranda Kerr had traveled to the United States with her mother, Thales, and Eric had agreed to the girl's visit in advance, which was today.
Back at Jianjiao Manor, it was already dark.
As soon as Eric's car arrived outside the gate of the manor, he saw two women, one older and one young, standing on the side of the road nearby.
Asking the driver to stop the car, Eric got out of the car and greeted him.
Miranda Kerr saw Eric appear and ran over excitedly.
"Didn't you say seven, why did you arrive so early?" asked Eric as he gently hugged the girl, smiling.
After Miranda Kerr hugged Eric, she put her arm around him and said affectionately: "My mother and I were worried about being late, so we came over early, oh, Eric, this is my mother." ”
"Hello, Ms. Kerr," Eric shook his hand.
Thales frowned when he saw his daughter bird falling on Eric, and wanted to pull his daughter over, but remembering Eric's identity, he didn't move in the end, and shook hands with Eric with a smile on the surface, saying, "Hello, Mr. Williams." ”
"Just call me Eric," Eric said, "Let's go in, well, get in the car first." ”
Saying that, Eric politely opened the car door for Thales, this small detail made Thales very satisfied, and even had a hint of vanity in his heart, after all, the other party is the richest man in the world.
Miranda Kerr didn't need Eric to say anything, after her mother got into the car, she excitedly got into the car, the compartment was very spacious, Eric sat in it, and it didn't seem crowded to sit three people in the back row at the same time.
The gate of the manor opened, the car drove into the manor, and Miranda Kerr asked curious questions while looking at the famous manor.
"Eric, this place is so big, do you live here alone?"
Eric shook his head and said, "I'm not alone, Drew comes over occasionally." ”
Hearing Eric mention Drew's name, for some reason, the girl's eyes brightened, and her face was full of anticipation: "I really hope to meet Miss Barrymore, I'm a fan of her movie, I've seen "ET". ”
Eric smiled and said, "She's sure she'll like you too." ”
The car came to the outside of the seaside villa, and after Eric got out of the car, he instructed the chef in the manor to prepare dinner, and then took the mother and daughter into the villa.
"Wow, it's so big, it's like a museum," Miranda Kerr exclaimed with envy as she looked around excitedly as she entered, looking at the artwork hanging on the wall.
Eric just smiled, led the two to the rest area by the glass curtain wall, and said, "Sit down, I'll make coffee." ”
Thales sat down with some restraint, looking at her daughter's overly excited appearance, wanting to reprimand, but fearing that she would be rude in front of Eric, and every part of this luxurious estate brought her a faint sense of oppression.
Seeing that Eric was about to walk away, Miranda Kerr, who had just sat down, immediately jumped up: "Eric, can I help you?"
"Of course," Eric smiled and nodded, leading the girl to the small bar in the corner, "If you don't like coffee, there should be other drinks in the fridge." ”
The girl pointed to the red wine in the wine cabinet and asked expectantly, "Can I taste the wine?"
Eric shook his head and smiled, "That's not good, your mother is here." ”
Miranda Kerr snatched the coffee pot from Eric's hand and offered to help catch the water, while grinning and whispering, "Is that when my mom isn't here, I can drink?"
Eric said, "If your mother isn't here, I won't dare let you drink." ”
"Why?"
Eric joked, "Drunk women are crazy, I'm afraid you'll take advantage of me." ”
"Hehe, no," the girl smiled and twisted the slender waist under the close-fitting thin sweater, which was a little bewitching, and at the same time did not forget to throw Eric a flying eye jerkyly, changed the subject, and said, "Eric, how is your movie ready?"
Eric knew that the girl's main concern was the character, and said, "It's still casting, you must have to wait a few months." ”
"I'm not in a hurry," Miranda Kerr didn't show the slightest look of disappointment, it was just a small role.
Anyway, he had promised himself to give her more roles, but the girl also knew that there was no need to bring it up in such a hurry.
In the future, there will be more time.
The two of them brewed coffee together and returned to the couch.
Eric let Miranda pour coffee for the two, sat down on the sofa, and said, "Ms. Kerr, is the road going well?"
"Of course," Thales said stiffly as she took the coffee cup from her daughter, "but I didn't expect it to be so cold in Los Angeles, and Miranda and I almost caught a cold." ”
"Heh, Los Angeles is a lot better, and if you go to New York, it will feel even worse, it seems to have been snowing there lately. ”
Miranda finally poured herself a cup of coffee, but sat down next to Eric with the cup in her hand, and said, "It's amazing to think about it, it's so hot in Australia right now, but it's snowing in New York." ”
Eric laughs, "If you really try to experience it, it won't feel so good." ”
After chatting casually for a while, Thales knew that it was not suitable to talk about business anymore when it was time for dinner, so he took the initiative to stir up the topic and said, "Eric, Miranda has already told us something, well, about Miranda can become a Disney signed actor, I want to confirm it to you personally?"
Eric was slightly stunned, he only promised to offer a few jobs for girls in the original email, but he never promised Miranda Kerr to become a Disney contracted actor.
What's more, the girl who looks at least sixteen years old in front of her does not meet the conditions of most Disney actors. Disney's criteria for selecting actors for its Disney channel are mainly petite and cute, just like Britney and Christina, even when they become adults, they are only about 1.6 meters tall. Although Miranda Kerr meets the conditions of cuteness, she is already too tall.
Suspiciously, she glanced at Miranda Kerr beside her, who was blinking at herself pitifully with wide eyes.
Eric also suddenly understood that the reason why the girl wanted to connect herself with Disney should be to avoid her parents' association of her being too precocious, after all, when it comes to Disney, most people's reactions are basically children, and although the girl is already slim, it is more reasonable to cooperate with Disney at her current age.
Thinking about these things in a blink of an eye, Eric turned his head without a trace and said to Thales: "Except for the small role in "007: Casino Royale", I think Miranda is quite suitable for a role in the upcoming TV series on Disney Channel. ”
Although it is nonsense, Eric is not worried that this lie will not come true, the Disney Channel produces a number of teen TV series or TV movies every year, if necessary, just find a Disney film and television series to stuff Miranda Kerr into it. (To be continued.) )
