After reading the script carefully, Jeffrey said with some doubts: "Eric, I still think that this story is so perfect, it is almost like a fairy tale of a prince and Cinderella. Do you think the audience will like a fairy tale about a prostitute? Even like these famous works of literature, the ending is tragic. ”

Eric said to himself, "What I'm going to write is a perfect fairy tale."

The original script is actually a noir drama film, called Tong Guò between the male and female protagonists for a $3,000 sex transaction, to reflect the living conditions of prostitutes in Los Angeles.

It's just that during the filming process, because of the sufficient budget, it was repeatedly revised by the director and producer, and finally turned into a romantic comedy, and the most surprising thing is that this changed unrecognizable movie actually got a North American box office of 170 million US dollars, which made many male and female stars who refused to appear because of the black style of the original script beat their chests. At the same time, it also made Julia Roberts brilliant.

The plot of the prostitute dying in the alley at the beginning of the film was left according to the shooting of the original script, so in the previous life, the audience watched the whole movie and looked back, and then found that the plot was incompatible with the romantic style of the whole movie.

"Jeffrey, aside, what do you think of Vivian's image in the script?"

After all, it's just a text description, and it hasn't come out yet, so Jeffrey pondered for a while before saying: "The character is frank, cheerful, a little vulgar but it seems natural, even if it is reduced to the dust, he still has his own little persistence......"

Eric patiently listened to Jeffrey's long list of feelings before he spoke: "Jeffrey, maybe you haven't noticed that when you first described Vivian, the corners of your mouth were upturned, which means that you don't hate this girl who has fallen into the dust at all, and even like her a little. ”

Jeffrey only subconsciously said how he felt for Vivien, and didn't notice the details of what Eric said: "This...... Do I have one?"

Eric nodded in affirmation: "Of course, so, since you don't hate Vivien, then the audience will definitely like this girl after the movie is filmed." ”

Jeffrey nodded, and quickly raised an eyebrow in dissatisfaction: "What do you mean that even I don't hate it...... Am I a very demanding person in your eyes?"

Eric hurriedly denied: "Of course not, you're just a little verbose." ”

“……”

Eric smiled and patted Jeffrey on the shoulder: "Don't be depressed, older people will be a little verbose, so don't take it personally." ”

Jeffrey glared at Eric depressedly, "Well, you're the boss, and it turns out that your vision is much better than mine." Now that you've decided, when are we going to start preparing?"

"Of course, the sooner the better, and it's best to finish the preparation and casting before Christmas, and start shooting as soon as the New Year is over. This movie is very suitable for the release of Valentine's Day. ”

Jeffrey lowered his head and counted the time: "The Love Day schedule is indeed very suitable for this movie, but, Eric, is it too rushed, and at that time, it hasn't even been out of the file?"

Eric shook his head: "Jeffrey, you have also seen me make zuò for more than a month is enough, we can negotiate with Fox to start the publicity work when the post-production zuò is made." ”

"So, when are we going to start casting, do you have a plan?"

Eric said: "I decided to use Richard Gere for the male lead, and the first choice for the female lead is Sophie Marceau, Jeffrey, which requires you to help me find Sophie Marceau's contact information, and then send her an invitation." If the other person doesn't agree, use Julia Roberts. As for the other supporting roles, let's wait until the brokerage company is acquired. Some of the supporting roles in the movie are still quite outstanding, and they can't be cheaper than outsiders. ”

"Eric, Sophie Marceau, is that how she fights? She's the French actor, right?"

"Of course, it's the one who plays, Sophie Marceau's image is very compatible with Vivien, but I don't know if the other party will accept the invitation, after all, you should have heard about her. ”

"Well, I'll do my best to send out an invitation. If the other party refuses, Eric, I think, Meg Ryan is not bad, and as for Julia Roberts, it is the waitress who showed up at your house that night, a little ...... Isn't it inappropriate?"

In memory, Meg Ryan belonged to the generation of 'American sweethearts' before Jennifer Aniston, and Eric recalled some of the other party's movies, such as the famous one, and the other party's image was really good. However, since he has decided to win Julia Roberts, coupled with the factors of his previous life, Eric will certainly not give up the opportunity to others.

"Jeffrey, trust me, that's it. I chose Julia Roberts because I had my own considerations. By the way, try your best to contact Kapoor Sid, the owner of this Sid agency. ”

Jeffrey took a page of information handed over by Eric, looked at it, and said, "Eric, Kapoor Sid is indeed very capable, I heard that he operated several A-level projects in the first two years of CAA. It was only when he had a conflict with Michael Ovitz that he was kicked out of the CAA. CAA is now very powerful in the entertainment industry, so let's not deliberately anger Michael Ovitz. ”

Eric sneered in his heart, he had always been a little unhappy with the CAA signing Stuart Runkel so quickly. Although Michael Ovitz is now known as the most powerful person in Hollywood by some media, CAA can only be majestic for another five or six years, and by the second half of the 90s, although CAA still monopolizes many star resources, it is no longer as beautiful as before in the face of the gradually forming media group.

Moreover, now compared to himself and CAA, he is just a 'little shrimp', and it doesn't matter if he is offended. Although CAA has a monopoly on many superstars, Eric is confident that he can create a Zào superstar.

"Let's just decide, Jeffrey, we're just a little shrimp now, and CAA doesn't bother to pay attention to us. ”

Jeffrey shrugged helplessly: "Okay, as you wish." ”

……

After leaving Jeffrey for lunch, Eric was about to go to the study to write, when the phone in the living room suddenly rang.

"Hello, this is Williams's house?" Eric picked up the phone, but put the microphone slightly away from his ears, he had received several harassing calls in the past few days, and even a guy scolded him as soon as he connected it, which shocked Eric to a little numb, and Eric even considered whether to change the number.

The other party was silent for a while, Eric thought it was another harassing call, and was about to hang up when a voice came out of the microphone: "Hello, Eric." ”

Eric heard the familiar voice, and leaned back on the sofa with the telephone in his hand with some excitement: "Hi Annie, I've always wanted to explain to you what happened that morning, I don't have anything to do with Drew, I was drunk that night, it was purely Drew's little girl messing around." ”

"This ...... It's none of the business with me, we ...... We've all broken up?"

In an apartment building in Manhattan, New York, Aniston listened to Eric's hurried explanation, her voice stammered a little, obviously with a little struggle in her heart, and at the same time a little resentment towards the sluggish guy opposite.

On the third day of her arrival in New York, Drew somehow found her contact information and explained to her what had happened that day.

And the hateful guy on the other side, for so many days, he neither came to look for him, nor contacted himself. If it weren't for a particularly important event today, Aniston swore she would never reach out to this bastard for the rest of her life.

If Eric knew what Aniston was thinking, he would have cried out, since that day, a series of things have followed, exhausting Eric's toss, and now he doesn't dare to go out at will, how can he have the time to deal with this matter.
