As time passed, the sky had darkened, and the giant Titanic model located in the northeast corner of Firefly Studios was also lit up, and against the background of the surrounding twilight, it really looked like a giant ship drifting on the sea. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
As the most watched party in Los Angeles after the "Vanity Fair" dinner in March, the "Titanic" global box office exceeded $1.8 billion The celebration party brought together more than 700 stars, singers and celebrities.
At seven o'clock, the party officially began.
Since everyone is not the kind of person who likes to procrastinate, there is no lengthy speech, Katzenberg and Cameron respectively made a simple speech, and officially announced the news of the "Titanic" theme exhibition to the invited media, and the carnival officially began.
Although most of the area of the Titanic model has not yet been opened, due to its inherent size, more than 700 guests and a large number of service staff are scattered in the banquet hall, restaurant, bow and top deck, etc., which does not seem crowded at all.
Eric took Drew to the restaurant to have a chat with a group of more important guests, and then went to the restaurant to have a bite to eat, in order to prepare for the party, Eric was also busy all afternoon, and at this time he was already hungry.
Two servings of food were taken from the buffet table, and as soon as Eric and the girl found a spare table, Elizabeth and Julia walked in through the door.
The two women did not shy away from the strange eyes of the other people in the restaurant, took the food, and walked straight over.
"Good evening, Eric," Elizabeth sat down on Eric's left hand side under Julia's somewhat resentful gaze, nodded to him, and looked at the girl again, "You're good, little Bichi." β
Seeing that the girl was about to play darts with her fork, Eric hurriedly held it down: "Okay, don't make trouble." Liz, apologize to Drew quickly, don't talk like that in the future. β
Elizabeth was very reluctant, pouted, and said, "I'm sorry, little ...... Drew. β
"Hmph," the girl shook the tableware in her hand unwillingly, and said, "If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people here, I would definitely let Natasha beat you up." β
Elizabeth was not afraid at all, and raised her small chin: "You have the ability to come by yourself." β
"I'm afraid I'll disfigure you, heh, it's not very pretty, in case, tsk, it will be miserable. β
Eric was frustrated by the two women's habitual bickering, so he threatened, "If you two quarrel again, I'll go somewhere else with Julia." β
Before Elizabeth and Drew could respond, Julia immediately looked at Eric expectantly, her eyes shining, and she nodded like a chick pecking rice: "Mmmmmm β
Elizabeth was very unhappy with Julia's reaction: "Uh-huh, yes, I really don't have a position. β
"Liz, if you dare to murder me again, I won't make movies for Fox in the future. β
The girl immediately saw the stitches: "Yes, Julia, come over to MGM, I'll give you 20 million yuan." β
Elizabeth teased: "20 million, if you have the ability, you can bring the contract now, and I will sign it for Julia." β
Eric interrupted the two kittens in time, picked a slightly more serious topic, and said, "Speaking of which, how much do you pay Julia for this film?"
Due to the half-truths and half-truths of the relationship between the two women, Julia has basically been making films for Fox in recent years.
After last year's "Shakespeare in Love", Julia soon collaborated with Fox on a romance film, and Eric also intervened slightly, so he easily picked Julia's "My Best Friend's Wedding", which had a good reputation, but after Claudia Schiffer was brought into the crew, Eric didn't pay attention to this matter anymore, he just saw on the summer movie release list that "My Best Friend's Wedding" was scheduled for mid-July, and together with "Ice Age", it belonged to the main film of Fox's summer file.
"Julia 15 million, Claudia 5 million," Elizabeth did not hide, "The total cost is only 40 million US dollars, and the two of them account for half, and now the actors' salaries are really getting higher and higher." I feel that it will be difficult for low-cost commercial films to invite A-level stars in the future, especially after "Titanic", everyone will definitely focus on a few blockbusters every year, and first-line actors will definitely tend to these movies, or only these movies can afford to invite A-level stars. β
"Well, in the past few years, I heard that Germany has begun to discuss the topic of changing the tax law to prevent capital outflows. β
Since Jim Carrey first received his first $20 million salary from Sony Pictures, most of the A-list superstars have increased their net worth in recent years. However, Eric is also aware that this phenomenon is mainly caused by the large amount of tax evasion money from all over the world flowing into Hollywood, especially Germany, which has flowed into Hollywood more than $3 billion a year in recent years, accounting for almost a quarter of all Hollywood's film production budget.
However, the good days of Hollywood superstars are actually in the last few years.
In the next few years, the bubble of the new wave of technology will burst, and some important film capital exporting countries will tighten their investment, and the remuneration of Hollywood superstars will return to rationality, even if it is still marked with a value of 20 million, but in fact, there are few who can really get 20 million US dollars.
Eric was chatting casually with the three women, Cameron hurriedly walked over from the door of the restaurant, nodded to the three women and said hello, and then said to Eric, "Eric, come with me and take you to meet someone." β
Eric got up and asked curiously, "Who?"
Cameron smiled and said mysteriously, "Peter Parker." β
Eric immediately understood that Cameron had recently begun to look for a leading actor for "Spider-Man", and Eric had no feelings for several successive Spider-Man actors in his previous life, so he didn't interfere in this matter and let Cameron toss it himself.
Just gesturing to the three girls, Eric was relieved to follow Cameron away. In fact, without him, Elizabeth and Drew can be more harmonious, both girls are very smart, and they don't really make any conflicts in public to make people laugh.
Cameron was mysterious along the way, and Eric didn't bother to get to the bottom of it immediately, the two came to the top deck together, and following Cameron's guidance, Eric immediately saw a family of four standing together.
A couple, a teenager of sixteen or seventeen, a little girl of five or six years old.
At a glance, Eric recognized them, took two steps forward and patted the young man with a little green on his face, and hugged him casually, feeling a little like a world away, and said, "Hey, Stu, long time no see." β
The family in front of him turned out to be Eric's neighbors when he lived in North Hollywood, the Runkel family.
The teenager that Eric hugged was naturally the former hero of "Home Alone", Stuart Runkel.
After filming "Home Alone 3", due to his age, Stuart Runkel was no longer suitable to continue the road of child star, and he fell silent all these years. Eric only vaguely heard that the family had moved to New York, but never saw him again.
In fact, Eric is more fortunate that Stuart Runkel did not follow the old path of Macaulay Culkin in the original plane.
"Eric, I'm glad to see you again," Stuart Runkle was obviously a little excited, and after hugging, the boy immediately turned around, pulled the five or six-year-old girl over, and introduced, "Eric, this is my sister, Linda." β
"Hello, little one," Eric reached over.
The little girl, who had obviously been carefully taught, obediently reached out and shook Eric's hand, and said in a childish tone: "Hello, Mr. Williams, I like your movie very much." β
Eric laughed and quipped, "Did you see your brother in the movies?"
The little girl nodded: "See, my brother was so powerful at that time, I want to be like him." β
"Oh, then your mom and dad are going to have a headache," Eric joked before greeting the Runkels.
Although there were some unpleasant collaborations back then, they were all old at this time, and Eric certainly didn't care about them anymore.
The Runkels were much more humble and sophisticated than the couple, carefully speaking flattering words, and not forgetting to mention some of the old things in their words.
After a few minutes of chatting, Eric didn't rush to ask Cameron what was going on, after all, everything was already clear.
In the original plan, Eric wanted the new version of "Spider-Man" to start when Peter Parker was in high school. Although most of the high school students in Hollywood's teen movies are basically played by actors over the age of twenty, this is also a helpless move to maintain the level of actors, after all, young actors who are really in high school age must not be so good in acting.
If there are actors whose age fully agrees with their acting skills and meets the requirements, the film company will definitely not refuse.
At this time, in the face of the upcoming "Spider-Man" movie, Stuart Runkel, who became famous with "Home Alone" and was already a sixteen-year-old boy at this time, is just the most suitable.
