Chapter 319: Interested
A quick glance at the details below, Stan. Winston Studios was established in 1972 and has undertaken the production of special effects for many films, including the famous "Terminator" and "Alien", and won an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects in 1986. Winston is also a well-known special effects master in Hollywood.
Moreover, Eric also recalled some information about his previous life, which was related to ILM and Peter. Jackson became the digital realm of Weta VFX Studios alongside Stan. Winston and the famous James. Cameron created it together. The studio is even more powerful than ILM in terms of some film CG technology.
However, the digital field does not have the same strong technical accumulation as ILM, nor does it want to be like Weta Studios, because it is located in New Zealand and enjoys a variety of political support, coupled with the departure of Cameron, the departure of the founder, and Stan. Winston's death, in the end, without a leader, finally fell to the point of bankruptcy.
"Alan, help me contact Stan. Mr. Winston, "Eric Stein. Winston Studio took out the information and handed it to Allen, and said: "Try to be as fast as possible, you know, the time for "Ghost Love" is very tight, New York has already finished the scene, and I only need the heroine here, and the most important thing now is to solve the special effects." ”
Alan took it and looked at it, nodded and nodded, but still said: "Eric, I think if the special effects are handed over to ILM, the movie will definitely be completed as scheduled, but if we do it ourselves, the effect and time will be difficult to determine." ”
Eric was silent for a moment before he said, "I'm measured, you can contact Stan. Winston. ”
"I understand." Alan nodded, and was about to go out when there was a knock on the office door. After getting permission, the female secretary came in and said, "Mr. Williams." They're coming. ”
"Let them in," Eric said, and Alan had just heard Eric answer the call at the front desk, and turned away in amusement.
Jim. Lester and Jennifer. Connery soon walked in.
"Hello, Mr. Williams," said Jim. Lester reached out and shook hands with Eric, who had come out from behind his desk.
"Hello, Jim," Eric smiled as he let go of his hand. Then look at Jennifer. Connery, the girl lowered her head slightly awkwardly, but quickly raised it again, trying to look directly at Eric, trying to show a generous smile, but her expression was a little uncomfortable no matter how she looked at it.
"Janie, long time no see," Eric whispered.
"Yes...... yes," the girl nodded, feeling that something was wrong. Trying to say something more, Eric had already pointed to the couch in the lounge area, "Let's go there and talk." ”
The three of them sat down on the couch, and the secretary served coffee to the three of them. Eric sat across from him, unabashedly looking at the girl across from him.
Jennifer. Connery and Eric made eye contact, and quickly looked away with some panic, the aggressiveness in the man's gaze almost identical to that of a year ago.
"What have you been up to all year, Janie?" Eric asked.
"I ......" The girl hesitated, not knowing what to say, could it be that she auditioned everywhere, ran into walls everywhere, and was snubbed by her agent? Jim. Lester is here. And, even if the broker is not there. She couldn't have said that.
Seeing the girl's embarrassed look, Jim. Lester hurriedly said, "Mr. Williams." Jenny has spent most of her year at Stanford University, you know, she's still young, and it's always a good idea to learn a little more. ”
Eric nodded noncommittally, looked at the girl, and asked, "Is that so?" ”
Jennifer. Connelly bit his lip and nodded, "Hmm." ”
Eric continued, "By the way, I was with that ...... last night Sorry, I forgot the name of the other party, it seems to be Brandt......"
"Tony. Brandt, "Jim. Lester kindly reminded.
Eric nodded, "Well, it's Tony. Brandt, I had some trouble with that gentleman and messed up your heroine's affairs. ”
The girl didn't react, Jim. Lester snorted softly in surprise, he didn't know about it yet, but he thought about it in the morning when he called Tony. Brandt's tone when the other party, Jim. Lester quickly understood what to write, and a look of complaint just appeared in his heart. Lester reacted immediately.
It's just a small-budget heroine, and if you lose it, you lose it, as long as you can hug the thigh of the god in front of you, are you afraid that there will be no role?
"It's okay, Mr. Williams, in fact, that movie is not very suitable for Jenny in the first place, and if you lose it, you lose it."
Eric looked at the girl, Jennifer. Connery also forced a smile, but didn't say anything.
"You should know that I was planning to make a movie recently, and I happened to have the male lead decided last night, and the preparations for New York have been completed, as long as I can find the heroine, I can start filming."
This is said, even if it is Jennifer, who has always pretended to be reserved. Connery's eyes couldn't help but light up, Jim. A look of ecstasy flashed in Rest's eyes.
But Eric continued: "It's just a pity that the heroine of that movie is not suitable for Janie. ”
After speaking, Eric slowly picked up the coffee, looked at the changes in the expressions of the two opposites, and teased a little, the expressions of the two were really interesting.
Even realizing that he was being tricked, Jim. Lester didn't dare to show any displeasure at all, but the regret on his face was undoubtedly revealed. Connelly grabbed the corners of her skirt tightly, she was still wearing the dress she had worn last night's party, because after hearing Eric's words, the girl's breathing inevitably became a little short, and the pair of plump soft objects under the bandeau dress shook slightly with the undulation of her chest, which looked very eye-catching.
Jim. Lester thought about it, and still said a little unwillingly: "Mr. Williams, perhaps, you can let Jenny audition for the performance, maybe it will be good to see the effect, her performance in last year's "Death of the Swan" was quite good. ”
Eric shook his head: "If it's just a matter of acting." That's not a problem at all, it's the image, my movie. What is needed is the image of a little family woman, but Janie's temperament is too cold. It doesn't fit at all. ”
"That's a shame," said Jim. Lester shook his head and sighed.
Eric took a sip of coffee and said leisurely: "But it's nothing, Hollywood shoots hundreds of movies every year, even the seven major film companies, the total number of films produced every year will not be less than a hundred, and it is easy to find a movie that suits Janie." ”
Jennifer. Connally was still a little puzzled, and it was already known that Eric had been besieged some time ago. Although no evidence has been revealed, as we all know, there must be the Seven Masters behind that incident, and now the man should have a lot of trouble with the Seven Greats, what's the use of saying this?
But Jim. Lester is better than Jennifer. Connery wants to see more thoroughly, since Eric has successfully survived the turmoil, it means that he is now barely accepted by the big seven studios, in this case, with Eric's current status in Hollywood. It's easy to ask for a heroine spot from the Seven, and I believe any of the Seven. are very willing to sell Eric such a face.
"Mr. Williams, are you telling the truth?"
Eric nodded, "Of course, but it will take some time, I have to ask someone to find it first, and besides, I need Janie's cooperation to ......"
"Don't worry, Jenny will fully cooperate with you this time," before Eric could finish. The agent blurted out without thinking about it.
The atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward, not to mention that the girl's face turned crimson. Eric himself felt that his old face was hot, and he couldn't speak. So straightforward!
"Ahem, Jim, I mean, Jenny needs to make time for some auditions," though he didn't think it would be helpful to save, but Eric added to what he hadn't just said.
"I understand, I understand," Jim. Lester said flatteringly.
Just as he was embarrassed, there was a knock on the door, and Alan came in, revealing an apologetic look: "Mr. Williams, something ...... Emergency. ”
"Wait a minute," Eric said quickly, and left the office.
"That's right, Mr. Williams, I just called Stan. Mr. Winston, after explaining his intentions, the other party readily agreed, and the time was set for half past eleven today. Mr. Winston also wanted to bring a friend along. So, I think it's better to let you know. ”
Friend?
Eric raised an eyebrow, quickly thinking of a voice, Stan. Winston's best friend, no doubt, is undoubtedly Cameron.
"No problem, is the phone still online now, I'll tell the other party personally?"
"It's already hanging," Alan shrugged, "though, if you agree, it's half past ten by now, and the location is about Clare's restaurant in Beverly Hills, and I think you should ...... Ahem, pay attention to the time. ”
Eric looked at his watch, glanced towards his office, and nodded, "Don't worry, I know." ”
"Then I'm going to get busy," the assistant said quickly.
"Sorry, two, something went wrong," Eric said back to his office, to Jim. Lester and Jennifer. "I'm afraid we can't talk too much," Connelly said. ”
"It's all right, Mr. Williams, perhaps, we can make an appointment and have a meal together, how about tonight?"
"I'm sorry, I've got an arrangement for tonight," Eric said as he thought of the figure of a tall girl. Jensen held it in his hand, of course, to increase his feelings while he was hot and had a few more dates, material things are necessary, but feelings are also essential.
After thinking about it, Eric said to Jennifer. Connery said, "By the way, Jenny, I'm going on a date later, would you like to be my girlfriend?" ”
When the girl heard Eric's words, she hesitated.
Jim. Lester almost wanted to agree for the girl, but at this point, he still felt that it would be better to let the girl make her own decision.
"It's just a normal lunch," Eric adds, "and he's a well-known special effects artist in Hollywood, and maybe a director, and I'll send you back after lunch." ”
"That'...... Well," Jennifer. Connery nodded quickly when he heard Eric say this.
Eric smiled and looked at the dress on the girl's body: "Actually, you're dressed just right, well, very beautiful." ”
"Thank you," the girl whispered.
"In that case, I think I'd better get out of the way," said Jim. After the girl agreed, Lester relaxed for a while, and quickly stood up and took his leave.
Eric sent the other out of the door and went back to the office, and the two of them were left in the room, and the girl suddenly became a little cramped again.
"Wait a minute, I'll change my clothes," Eric said lightly to the girl, and walked towards the small room next to the office.
……
"Stan, what do you think the little guy is looking for you?" In Beverly Hills Clare's restaurant, two large men sat in a corner, and a flat-headed man said to a middle-aged man with a big beard.
"I've heard he's going to use special effects in his next movie, with that young man's ambition, James, what do you think?"
James. Cameron was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "You mean, he wants to buy your studio?" ”
"Obviously," Stan. Winston said with a smile on his face.
"I think you're interested," said James. Cameron thought for a moment and laughed.
"That's a billionaire, very rich, the animation studio he bought last year, it is said that tens of millions of dollars have been invested in it, not a penny has been produced, but the investment is still not good, such a generous little guy, of course I am very interested. You know, special effects are a lot of money, and that's why I brought you here, haven't you always wanted to make Terminator 2, and this is a great opportunity. ”
James. Cameron suddenly showed an excited look, but soon gloomed: "That little guy has never made a super high-cost movie, and I remember that he invested the most in "Dark War", and in the end it only cost more than 30 million. Although I pressed the budget of "Terminator 2" again and again, and only quoted 70 million, none of the seven major ones were willing to take over, and I don't think the other party would take this risk. ”
"You can't find an investor right now anyway," Stan said. Winston patted his friend on the shoulder, "So, it's okay to try it on him." (To be continued)
