Chapter 357: I Really Didn't Mean It
"The Polish actress you brought with you some time ago seems to be Joanna Pakula, right?" Elizabeth reminded.
Eric nodded, "And then?"
"Because of you, that woman received a lot of film contracts from film companies, but all the scripts handed to you by that woman's agent were approved by you and sent back for nothing, you won't forget this matter, right?"
"No," Eric seemed to understand something, but wasn't quite sure, "I had other plans for Joanna, and there really wasn't any great story in those scripts, did it happen later?"
"I also heard by chance that all the items that passed through your hands were axed."
"All?" Eric asked incredulously.
Elizabeth nodded, but there was a little more strange in her eyes when she looked at Eric: "It shouldn't be wrong, you know, for the seven of their standardized film studios, most film projects start with the producer getting a script, and it takes months or even years of twists and turns before the film company can officially set up the project and prepare, but because of your few words of disapproval, the project that others have been busy for so long has instantly come to naught. How many people are you going to do?"
Eric didn't answer Elizabeth's final question, and asked, "Have I been so big in my mind?"
Elizabeth rolled her eyes and said helplessly: "Now many people count the box office success of "The Silence of the Lambs" on your head, and it is estimated that the same is true for "Sleeping with the Enemy", although I know that this project is operated by Robert Shea, but people who don't know the inside story definitely don't see it that way.
Eric scratched his cheek unconsciously and muttered in a low voice, "It seems, it's a bit too much."
"What did you say?" Elizabeth asked, leaning closer.
"I said your dress is beautiful tonight." Eric looked up and replied.
Elizabeth raised her chin proudly: "I still need you to say, this is the latest Chanel summer model, ah...... Phew, you weren't talking about that just now."
"Have fun," Eric said casually to Elizabeth as he saw Connery walking back from outside, and headed over to Connery.
Elizabeth glared at Eric a few times in dismay, shook off her golden short turn and walked into the crowd.
"Come back, come with me, I just met Amy Pascal, the vice president of Columbia, and she must have the project for the second half of the year in Columbia.
Eric took Connelly by his arms and walked towards Amy Pascal, and several men and women who had been standing next to Amy Pascal stopped talking and looked at Eric.
Amy was the only one who knew Eric, and when they got closer, Amy Pascal greeted him, "Hello, Eric."
"Amy, long time no see, this is my girlfriend, Jennifer Connelly." Eric shook Amy's hand and introduced Connally.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Connelly, you're so beautiful, I think I've seen your movie," said Amy Pascal warmly to Connelly.
Just after hearing Eric introduce the other party as the vice president of Columbia, Connelly was inevitably a little reserved, but he still shook hands with Amy Pascal generously and said, "Thank you, you are also very beautiful.
Amy Pascal smiled and nodded, and made a polite exchange with Connally, and his attention returned to Eric, and he took the initiative to introduce several people around him, all of whom were executives of Hollywood studios or well-known producers.
If it was put more than a year ago, these people were all Eric very much wanted to befriend, but now, Eric doesn't need to do these deliberately.The rise of the feather insect is inevitable, and Eric has no shortage of funds and channels in his hands, so he has become the object of many Hollywood people want to befriend, of course, the other party has a good movie project in his hand, and the first thing that comes to mind is the seven, but the status of the feather insect in the hearts of these people does not have to be much weaker than the seven, and it is even much higher than the declining MGM.
After a few simple chats, Eric asked, "Amy, do you have a film project in your hands now, the kind that has not yet been determined for the protagonist?"
Amy Pascal glanced keenly at Connery and smiled, "Yes, but Eric, can you think about starting a sequel to Dark Wars, in that case, all the roles can be decided by you, and Columbia will fully cooperate with you."
"I'll talk about this later, you should know, I'm too busy right now."
Eric shook his head and said, because of last year's contract, the copyright of "Dark War" is shared by Columbia and Feather Worm, after the box office success of this version of "Dark War", Columbia lobbied Eric to start the sequel to "Dark War", but Eric really has no interest in the sequel to "Dark War", and after Columbia contacted Tom Hanks, Hanks also said that if Eric did not participate in the production of the sequel, he would not join, and the matter dragged on.
Amy Pascal didn't mention it again when she heard Eric's refusal, she just said it casually, and didn't give any hope, of course, if Eric suddenly agreed, then the project in Colombia would definitely fall on her head, which would definitely be of great help to her career.
Bypassing the topic of "Dark War", Amy Pascal looked Jennifer Connelly up and down before saying, "I have a comedy in my hand that is perfect for Connelly. [,!] sister, tomorrow I will have the script sent to ...... Delivered to ......"
"Let's send it to Sharp Corner Manor, I'll see if the role is suitable for Jenny first," Eric said, and didn't immediately agree, if the script wasn't good enough, Eric could postpone it, so it didn't owe the other party a favor.
"No problem, I'll have the script sent to me tomorrow," Amy Pascal laughed, "but Eric, even if you don't like it, you can't talk nonsense."
Eric was stunned for a moment, remembering what Elizabeth had just told him, smiled self-deprecatingly, shook his head, and said, "It seems that you all know about it, I actually heard about it just now, but I really didn't mean to do it last time, I didn't expect those scripts to be cut off."
