Because tonight's party is not only a celebration party for the box office of "Midnight Bell" to exceed $250 million, but also a celebration party for the Firefly summer file to achieve another bumper harvest, plus the Firefly system has just completed the acquisition of Sony's film business, so both the scale and the momentum have attracted the attention of the entire Hollywood.

Starting at two o'clock in the afternoon, the model of the Titanic in the northeast corner of the studio began to be cleared to prepare for the evening party.

Because the rumors have already spread, it is expected that a large number of Hollywood superstars and celebrities and company executives will attend the party tonight, and many young actors who want to find opportunities are trying to get invitations to this party or become the companions of those celebrities who have invitations.

Some low-level men and women who were destined not to get invitations even chose to hide in all corners of the big ship in advance.

The staff on the big ship caught more than a dozen men and women who tried to fish in troubled waters during the clearance stage, which made the park manager in charge of the preparations for the evening party very nervous and annoyed, and some regretted that they did not stop the opening of the big ship attraction from the beginning of today, and at the same time ordered a second clearance, and sure enough, many people were arrested.

Eric spent the day in the "Gravity" studio, and at about six o'clock in the evening he went to the top restaurant of the big ship for dinner.

Due to Eric's habit of eating on the big ship during the filming of "Gravity", after being disturbed several times, Eric simply rowed out an internal restaurant on the big ship, which is not big, only eight tables, but both the location of the restaurant and the food are very exquisite, which is considered a benefit to Firefly executives, and senior executives above the group manager level can come here to dine when they are working in the studio.

Katzenberg was also at the studio today, and Eric had just sat down in the restaurant when Katzenberg rushed over.

According to the current box office trend, before the next grade, the North American box office of "Midnight Bell" should be able to reach about 290 million US dollars, which is completely comparable to "The Exorcist" that year. Moreover, the overseas box office of the film is even better, just the box office may exceed 100 million US dollars, the overall overseas box office may exceed 400 million, the global total box office is 700 million US dollars, and the return on investment ratio is more than 2300%, which is definitely the highest-grossing horror film in the world. ”

The crew on the big ship is still putting the finishing touches on tonight's party, and Eric and Katzenberg are naturally inseparable from "Midnight Bells".

Looking at Katzenberg's excited face, Eric smiled and took a bottle of mineral water from the waiter's hand, unscrewed the cap and took a sip, saying: "In this case, horror movies will definitely be very flooded in the next two years, and the sequel to "Midnight Bell" and the "Grudge" will be put on hold for the time being, and we will talk about it when this trend passes." ”

Katzenberg nodded approvingly: "I'll take the time to talk to Kenneth, and besides, have you read the script of Michael Bay's disaster film about the comet hitting the earth?"

"Just roughly scanned, the script is not bad, but the budget of $140 million is a bit too high. Eric said, "You talk to Jerry, it's best to keep the budget below $120 million, and he can't continue to be so unrestrained." ”

"Actually, Michael talked to me privately that he wanted to be a producer himself. ”

Eric remembered that Michael Bay had a good reputation for controlling production costs, and he was very moved, but after hesitating, he still said: "Forget it this time, you can let him and Jerry be named producers together, but the dominant power is still on Jerry's side, if we can cooperate next time, we can let him try it himself." ”

Most film projects in Hollywood are producer-centric, and while producers have the most power in the filmmaking process, it also means that their job is not much easier than that of directors.

Michael Bay has only completed three films so far, and Eric doesn't feel like he'll be able to juggle the job of a director and a producer so quickly.

However, thinking that Michael Bay's private production company had also produced a series of low-budget horror films, and all of them had achieved good box office results, Eric added: "In addition, if he is interested, you can let him talk to Kenneth and try to be the producer of one or two low-budget films first, which is considered a workout." ”

Eric and Katzenberg were chatting over dinner, and before they knew it, it was getting dark, the lights of the big ship were coming on, and there was more and more noise outside.

Putting down the dishes, Eric looked up at his watch, it was already a quarter past seven, and he stood up with Katzenberg and walked to the terrace inside the restaurant, looking down.

The two of them are on the top floor of the large ship model, this small deck terrace is connected to the internal dining room carved out by Eric, facing due north, with a very good view, you can see the "Titanic" theme exhibition park below and the flat and open city scene in the distance, and the hills to the east and Mariander Del Reys Bay to the west.

Standing on the terrace and feeling the atmosphere around them, Eric and Katzenberg continued to talk about the topic just now, and there was a sound of footsteps in high-heeled shoes behind them, and when they turned their heads, the girl was already smiling and pounced, followed by the quiet figures of the twins as usual.

Affectionately hugged Eric, and politely greeted Katzenberg, and then the girl took Eric's arm and said, "Eric, guess what I just saw?"

"Aliens?"

"Hehe, no, I saw the little chubby girl spinning around below, you didn't bring your phone, did you?"

Eric was stunned for a moment, only to remember that the girl said that the little chubby girl was Aniston, and pretended to be angry and knocked on the door of the girl's head, Eric took out the mobile phone in his pocket and looked at it, and found that he didn't know when the battery ran out. Beckoning the twins to come over and hand them their phones, he said, "Flush the phone for me, and besides, call Jenny over and say I'm here." ”

Katzenberg, realizing that Eric was waiting for the next time, didn't stay any longer, smiled at him teasingly, and left.

It was a long time before Natasha walked up with Aniston.

Aniston is wearing a simple light-colored knee-length dress today, and she still looks sweet and lovely.

It's just that after approaching, before Eric could say anything, the chick rushed towards the girl angrily: "It must be you, let people lie to me that Eric is in the studio, you little Bichi, make me run so far." ”

The girl immediately circled around Eric, and did not forget to beat a rake upside down: "I won't do such a boring thing, little chubby, you are slandering." ”

Aniston was even more angry, and the little paw grabbed it unceremoniously: "I let you say I'm fat!"

Eric reluctantly stood between the two girls, thinking that Elizabeth and Julia might come over later, as well as Nicole, and Famick.

Thinking of this, Eric suddenly felt that it was better for him to run away in advance, or to run away or to escape.

After a moment of fighting, the two girls were evenly matched, but Eric's shirt was torn apart.

After holding one of the past and kissing one with one hand, and comforting the two restless little wild cats, Eric pointed to a button on the collar of his shirt that had been torn off: "Look, your clothes are torn by you, don't make trouble." ”

The girl immediately pointed to Aniston: "What I saw was her pulling." ”

"I ......" Aniston immediately glared at him again, rolled his eyes, and said, "I'll sew!"

So, when Nicole walked into the dining room with a petite blonde, she saw Eric sitting on a chair, Aniston with a needle and thread in her hand, straddling the man's lap and fiddling with a button awkwardly, and the girl sitting on the side with a sour tone and talking cool words.

Seeing Aniston, Nicole's expression was a little hesitant, but she still walked over and took the initiative to greet: "Jane, long time no see." ”

Aniston naturally found Nicole coming, looked at the girl next to her who was waiting to see a good show, snorted softly, casually inserted the sewing needle in her hand into Eric's shirt, got up and glanced at Nicole: "You can help this bastard sew." ”

Nicole saw Eric, who was obviously pricked to the point that he began to gasp, and saw that Aniston did not leave, but just sat next to him with a little face, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and did not sympathize with a certain guy at all. Naturally, she didn't straddle Eric like Aniston, but walked over and bent down, carefully sewing the button for Eric, while not forgetting to introduce her companion next to her, and said, "Eric, this is Naomi Watts, I mentioned it to you last time, my good ...... Friend. ”

"Hello, Miss Watts," Eric had just recognized Naomi, but he didn't dare to show anything unusual at this time, and just casually greeted the other party.

"Hello, Mr. Williams. Naomi squeezed her handbag in front of her and politely greeted Eric, wanting to leave this strange occasion, but not knowing how to say goodbye.

Nicole obviously had more life skills than the clumsy chick, and after helping Eric sew the buttons and put the needlework in a small storage box on the table, she whispered, "Then, Eric, I'll go down first." ”

Erekla grabbed Nicole: "Why don't you eat something, I don't have a chance to eat tonight." ”

Nicole looked at Drew and Aniston, her bright eyes blinked, the corners of her mouth smiled, and she nodded, "Okay." ”

Eric called out to the manager of the restaurant, told him to take the sewing kit away, and motioned for Nicole to order whatever she liked.

The manager obviously also saw the boss's situation at this time, and was both envious and a little gloating, and after the three Nicole girls had dinner one by one, the manager looked at Naomi, who was sitting next to Nicole and wanted to pretend that she didn't exist: "This lady?"

Naomi Watts realizes that the manager has clearly misunderstood her relationship with Eric Williams, and God knows, she is the first time she has met her best fabled lover.

It's just that the situation in front of him, although this guy is really a little more careful, but he is ...... to his own woman They seem to be really good.

Power and wealth have always made it easy for people to accept things that ordinary people can't accept, and Naomi Watts herself didn't find this mentality.

Seeing that after the manager asked, several other people looked at her, Naomi was suddenly a little embarrassed and inexplicably weak, and hurriedly said: "No, I'm not, I'm just ......"

The manager was a little confused, and Nicole looked at her with a smile and said to the manager, "Nami's is the same as mine." ”

The restaurant manager naturally didn't know what was going on, but since Nicole spoke, he hurriedly came down and hurriedly left to prepare in person.

Although it is very satisfying to peek into the lace privacy of his big boss, it seems to be very dangerous, that is, the big boss will not rise up to the idea of extinguishing his mouth, and he will wear small shoes or something for himself, which is enough to eat a pot of himself.

After the manager left, the atmosphere in the empty small restaurant suddenly became strange.

Several women didn't speak, and everyone was holding a menu and flipping through it with relish.

When Naomi realized that she had unknowingly done the same as the other three girls, she quickly put down the menu in her hand, but when she did so, she suddenly realized that she didn't even know where to put her eyes.

Immediately noticing that Eric happened to be looking at her, Naomi's expression became even more overwhelmed, and she regretted that she hadn't left immediately, even if it was rude, it would have been better than now.

"So, Nicole said you've been talking about Ben for the last few years?" Finally, Eric spoke first.

Naomi nodded hurriedly: "Yes." ”

Eric asked again, "And what are you doing in Ben, model?"

Naomi could clearly sense that when Eric had just said that, Drew Barrymore and Aniston looked at her with wary looks.

Still, she cheered up and said, "No, yes, I just wanted to be a model, but then I got a job at a fashion magazine and they needed an English translator." ”

Eric suddenly felt that Naomi was simply his savior here, and continued, "Then why did you think of coming to Hollywood again?"

"I, I want a different life," probably thinking that her reason was too high-sounding, Naomi hesitated, and added: "Actually, I have always wanted to be an actor more, so that I can live a better life." ”

As the two spoke, the girl who had not spoken just now suddenly said, "Naomi Watts, well, maybe, you can come to MGM, I have a lot of characters for you here." ”

Hearing the girl's words, although a little unclear, Nicole and Aniston showed vigilant expressions at the same time, and Eric also glared at the girl warningly, signaling her not to mess around.

The girl pursed her lips, lowered her eyebrows and lowered her little head, holding a napkin in her hand and folding it haphazardly.

Naomi saw everyone's expressions, and for a moment she didn't know whether to answer the girl's words. It wasn't until Eric said to ignore her that she relaxed, and suddenly had a feeling in her heart that among the few people present, perhaps only Eric Williams was defenseless against herself.
