Chapter 407: Demon Shock
Eric took Drew in his arms and saw Spielberg talking with a guest standing by the floor-to-ceiling window by the sea, and walked up. Seeing Eric walking towards Spielberg, the guest greeted Eric and left with a sense of humor.
Eric raised his glass to Spielberg and asked, "Steven, how was the filming of Captain Hawke, I heard that Sony built nine large studios specifically for this film?" ā
Spielberg's interest in this topic does not seem to be very high, although he personally visited Eric and obtained some feasible modifications, but just as Eric rejected Spielberg's reason for investing in the construction of YƬ, the script itself has a big flaw, as the filming progresses, Spielberg is obviously more and more aware of this, maybe "Captain Hawke" will not lose money, but it will hurt his personal reputation.
"It's okay, if nothing else, it will be closed in May," Spielberg said, looking at Drew hanging on Eric, showing a hint of a smile: "Drew, sixteen years old, Gwyneth has a cameo role in "Captain Hawke", when are you going to make the movie again?" ā
Drew said: "I'm not going to make movies anymore, Godfather, I'm going to learn to be a filmmaker, and I can help Eric in the future." ā
Spielberg had also heard some rumors about "The Silence of the Lambs", but he, like many people, blamed Eric for it, and didn't believe that a few women would make such an excellent movie, and said very seriously: "Filmmaking is not so easy to do, you are still young, and not everyone in Hollywood is as good as Eric." ā
Eric interjected with a smile, "Steven." In fact, the script of "The Silence of the Lambs" was bought by Drew from someone else, Xiao Nizi's vision is not bad, and the film production is also operated by a few of them, I just helped to read the script a few times. ā
Spielberg knew that Eric didn't need to lie about such a trivial matter, and looked at the little girl in front of him. showed a faint look of surprise: "It's really surprising." ā
Eric patted Drew on the back and said, "Drew, you and Steven haven't seen each other for a long time, there must be a lot of topics to talk about, I'll go and entertain other guests." ā
Although it is a nominal godfather and goddaughter relationship, but because of the past. The relationship between Drew and Spielberg has actually become very thin. If it weren't for Eric, Spielberg wouldn't have been able to attend Drew's birthday party today. Xiao Nizi knew that Eric was mending her relationship with Spielberg in order to accumulate contacts for her future development, so she obediently stepped forward and grabbed Spielberg's arm and said, "Godfather, let's go to the outdoor pool to have a look." The air is very good, and I designed and renovated it myself. ā
Spielberg waved his hand at Eric and walked out with a smile following the strength of Little Nizi.
Eric watched the two leave, feeling a little hungry, and was about to get something to eat, when he saw a fat round man approaching before the other accosters in a very nimbly manner.
"Harvey, how are you feeling tonight, isn't it a little more relaxed than those PR guys?" Eric greeted each other with a smile. He pointed to the long table where the buffet was not far away.
"Of course, I don't have to talk to the stubborn old men here," Harvey said. Weinstein replied with a smile on his face. Arriving at the long table, Harvey graciously fetched a plate for Eric, took one himself, and picked up the food from the plate.
After fetching the food, Eric and Harvey sat down at a table and teased, "Actually, there are quite a few old men in the guild here. If they listen to what you just said, all that effort will be in vain. ā
I knew Eric was joking. Harvey couldn't help but look around and relax. "Eric, you can surprise me, I've spent more than seven figures on PR this awards season. ā
"I've heard that Miramax's film released this year won five of the six nominations for Best Foreign Language Film, and you're really glamorous."
"It's a pity that there aren't any important nominations," Harvey shook his head and sighed, clearly unhappy with the result.
Eric smiled, thinking of those in his previous life who invested hundreds of millions of dollars in order to impact the Oscar for Best Picture, but finally returned empty-handed, it feels really ironic, it is simply for the award that he has been stunned, but he doesn't know that others decades ago, they treated the best foreign language film as a place for themselves, and Eric was even a little glad that when he went to film school, he had missed out on a certain generation of people who were obsessed with European films and were bent on winning awards.
Instead of caring about the films that Miramax released himself, Eric asked, "How's the PR for The Silence of the Lambs?" ā
Harvey lowered his voice and said, "Best Picture and Best Director are nine out of ten, but Best Actor and Actress are not guaranteed, Anthony . Although Hoebkins is very good, he is only an Oscar newcomer, and his competitors this time are all very senior old men. Judy. Miss Foster had just won Best Actress the year before, and there was little hope this time. ā
Eric nodded with satisfaction, "Just do your best, I still believe in your brother's public relations prowess." ā
Harvey gave a look of regret and said: "It would be nice if 'The Silence of the Lambs' was released by Miramax, so that we could make a credible award plan for this film, and the best actor and actress would be more likely to win." ā
Eric just smiled and didn't take Harvey's words, Harvey said this, which was nothing more than a hint of wanting to cooperate. However, the Firefly, who has just completed the integration, is Eric's top priority, and even if he wants to cooperate, he will not cooperate with a small company like Miramax.
Harvey also saw what Eric meant, and felt a little regretful, although the two brothers had figured out more and more ways to publicize the Oscars, Eric seemed to have a disdain for Miramax.
Since Eric has no intention of cooperating for the time being, Harvey doesn't dare to dwell too much, but only says that Eric can contact him at any time if he has the intention of cooperating.
The two chatted casually, and after a while, Elizabeth also came over with a dinner plate, sat down on Eric's left-hand side, and joined the two in the chat, most of which was still about "The Silence of the Lambs". (To be continued)
