"It's only been four days, and you've got the script all written?" Jeffrey asked Eric in surprise as he picked up the top one and looked at it.

"It's just the first draft, and when shooting, I will definitely make a lot of revisions according to the specific situation. Eric replied, taking a few steps back and sitting comfortably on the couch, asking, "Did you get a response to the script outline I faxed to you to send an invitation to Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise?"

Jeffrey flipped through the work records and said, "I responded, Tom Hanks was sent an invitation from Sean, but Hanks wanted to play the role of Andy, he felt that the role was both good and evil, very malleable, and had more room for acting." Tom Cruise also expressed a strong interest in the script, but hoped to change Andy's women's clothing plot, and he didn't want his image to be damaged in the minds of fans. ”

The next movie that Eric is going to shoot is the pinnacle of the Galactic Imaging in his previous life - Dark War.

When writing the script, Eric directly used the English names of Andy and Qingyun to name the two male protagonists.

If you want to choose two actors in Hollywood to replace Andy and Qingyun, is there anything more suitable than Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks?

Of course, the current Hanks is still a little handsome, but there is only a little bit left, and he will soon be crippled. If Hanks replaces Andy's role, with his current image, can he make the bus girl fall in love with you at first sight, don't you be so self-aware!

"Jeffrey, they don't know each other was invited. Tell them the news and see if you can make an appointment to talk about it. ”

"Okay, I'll contact them later. Jeffrey replied, "Also, Herbert Ross promised Firefly to invest in that film, but Capper insisted that Julia's salary would be $5 million, and if that was the case, the film would cost at least $13 million to produce." Herbert Ross only pulled an investment of 4 million before, and Firefly needs an additional 9 million, do you communicate with Kapoor to see if you can lower Julia's salary, after all, this is a group drama, Julia doesn't have many scenes, I think the maximum is 3 million, and if it is higher, it will be a little more than worth the loss. ”

"I'll call Capper," Eric nodded, "By the way, you can make a copy of the script and give it to Al, so he can start preparing." In addition, for the script at the bottom, send a brief outline to Wes Craven, William Friedkin, and Jonathan Demmi to see if they are interested in directing the work. ”

After Jeffrey wrote it down, he pulled out the last script and glanced at it: "?"

Eric nodded, this movie, perhaps another translation is better known:. But Eric felt that the translation was more appropriate, and the original English name of the movie was called

As for the three directors he liked, Wes Craven was the famous series.

Directed by William Friedkin in 1973, this horror film was once called Hollywood's No. 1 horror film, but of course, the title has been shaky since the rise of Japanese horror in Hollywood. The last Jonathan Demmi is still just a street director, but in a parallel time and space, the other party will be launched two years later and become an instant hit. The reason why Jonathan Demmy, who is now unknown, is added to the two already famous masters is for Virginia's sake.

Eric doesn't doubt that this kind of horror film will not be recognized by the first two horror masters who have been famous for many years, but he is not sure that the other party will accept Virginia as the heroine. At this point, Eric did not intend to give in. And Jonathan Demmy can't have room for bargaining with Eric in this regard.

"Are the invitations sent out individually, or one by one?" asked Jeffrey again.

"At the same time, remember to show that the heroine has been decided, and this is non-negotiable. ”

Jeffrey gave an ambiguous smile, "Eric, which girl do you have a crush on?"

"Virginia Madsen. ”

Jeffrey remembered the celebration party, following Eric away from the big-boobs actress.

"Eric, I have to warn you," Jeffrey said in a rare way with the posture of his elders' admonishing back, "Investing in movies is a matter that requires extreme caution and caution. You can't promise to give the other party a heroine just because of a one-night relationship, it's not worth it, even if you leave a huge check for the other party, you can't make a promise lightly. Because once the heroine directs the movie fails, you have to bear millions or even tens of millions of dollars in losses, so a lot of money, even if it is the most high-level call girl, is enough to find thousands. ”

Never angry or ignoring those who were well-intentioned to persuade him, Eric patiently listened to Geoffrey's advice and explained, "Don't worry, Jeffrey, I'm measured in this regard. I've asked Kapoor to sign Virginia. If she didn't have that potential, I wouldn't have done it. Didn't you and Kapoor think of Julia at the beginning, and now what's going on?"

"You just know what you're doing. ”

"Well, then, I'll leave the matter to you, Jeffrey. Eric stood up: "I told you on the phone about Amy looking for me, and I just made an appointment with Mr. Barry Diller today. ”

"You seem to have gotten used to the phrase 'I'll leave it to you,' and I'm thinking about whether to apply for a raise?" said Jeffrey jokingly, in fact, he is enjoying his busy and fulfilling life now, compared to the decadence of the first meeting, Jeffrey now looks much younger, the whole person is red and full of energy.

Eric knew that Jeffrey was joking, the other party's current position is the president of Firefly, plus the dividends from the production of Erik's films, although he has not yet obtained a stake in Firefly, but the income is definitely at the top of the pyramid in Hollywood: "If you insist, just add a dollar." ”

After a few jokes, Jeffrey got up and sent Eric out the door, and instructed, "Don't fall out with Fox, try to be tactful." ”

Eric shrugged: "With tens of millions of dollars in profits involved, no matter how tactful it is, who made Fox not pay attention to the specific details of the contract, and I am not in breach of contract." Anyway, I won't let go of this opportunity in Colombia, and I think even if I put Barry Diller in my place, the other side will definitely choose the same as me. ”
