Chapter 417: Digging the Foot of the Wall Plan

After revealing the idea of starting a production company on the spur of the moment, Nicole felt that she was too whimsical.

In her opinion, the situation of TG Films is very special, although Elizabeth, who accounts for the largest proportion of shares, is undoubtedly Eric's woman, but the other party also has the identity of the second lady of the Murdoch family, which can allow her to gain the support of Twentieth Century Fox at the same time.

As for Drew, during the time they got along, Nicole deeply realized Drew's worship and dependence on Eric, that little Nizi almost regarded Eric as her own god, it can be said that in TG, Drew is equivalent to Eric's doppelganger, if Eric wants to meddle in TG, Drew must be the most resolute executor. And Julia is the first heroine in a film directed by Eric.

By all indications, all three women were closer to Eric than she was. Thinking about herself, Nicole doesn't seem to have anything worth investing in Eric.

Just when I was a little lost, I suddenly heard Eric say: "It's not impossible, if you can completely pull two people to you, I will support you to set up a film company." ”

Surprised and a little confused, Nicole asked, "Which two?"

"Pin Kinsley and Paula Wagner," Eric replied.

Last year, Eric had the idea that Pie Kinsley and Paula Wagner are undoubtedly two very capable women in their respective fields, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the nobles of Cruise's acting career.

"It's unlikely," Nicole said with no confidence in her tone, even though she was now a Hollywood A-lister. But on the status in Hollywood. She was still nowhere near Cruise. She knows it well. Not to mention Paula Wagner, who has nothing to do with her, even if it is Pis Kinsley, if she were given a choice between herself and Cruise, Pin Kinsley would not hesitate to abandon her.

Eric seemed to be more interested, put the text in his hand on the coffee table, and said, "I think it's quite an easy thing to do, just make Cruise think that Pie Kinsley and Paula Wagner are more biased towards you and ignore him, if in the meantime." Cruise's career is a bit slippery, and your acting career is striding forward, which is even more logical. ”

In the original time and space, Cruise and Pie Kinsley fell out because Nicole's career development was smoother than him, and even won an Oscar, and in the following years, because Cruise's career went downhill, he parted ways with Paula Wagner, and finally became alone.

Nicole had a look of excitement in her eyes, not because of Eric's talk about prying Cruise's corner, but because of the phrase 'And your acting career is striding forward', which means. Eric would definitely come to his aid. If this little bastard could devote more snacks to herself, Nicole would rather give up the idea of a production company. I'm tired of Eric. She said with a little complaint: "You always ignore me, I want to go to the next level in my career alone, it's so easy." ”

"Trick yourself with me again," Eric smiled, grabbed Nicole's waist and scooped up the slender girl and put it on her thigh, reached out and slapped her on the girl's buttocks, and rubbed it again.

Nicole lay in Eric's arms and writhed bewitchingly, giggled a few times, and let Eric finish the fight before turning over and reaching out to put her arms around Eric's neck: "You always keep saying that I am your woman, in this case, these are what you should do." ”

Eric put his arm around Nicole's waist, looked up in thought, and then the girl: "It seems to make sense, then I'll do what I need to do first." ”

"Hmm......" Nicole chimed in, but saw that Eric was not heading upstairs, but towards the west, and asked, "Where is this going?"

"The terrace, the pool. ”

"Now, it's cold outside, do you want to catch a cold?"

"Just put hot water in the small pool next to it, we were directly in it...... Well...... Well, by the way, you can also watch the stars, how romantic. ”

"Directly in the water...... The metamorphosis is almost the same," Nicole hung on Eric with a slightly red face, seeing that Eric's footsteps did not stop, she couldn't help but whisper: "I should get a bathrobe or something, we will have to come back in a while." ”

"There was in the changing room. ”

……

Eric and Cruise are no longer on the same level now, and even if he doesn't like Cruise very much in his heart, he doesn't have the heart to focus on each other, and prying Nicole into Cruise's corner is just a nasty episode.

It was not difficult to poach Pin Kinsley and Paula Wagner from Cruise's side. As in his previous life, Eric intends to hold Nicole up in a way that causes a Pie Kingsley and Paula Wagner to favor Nicole and ignore Cruise, which will create a rift between Cruise and the two women.

In the days that followed, Eric quickly picked out a good script from memory, "Spicy Hand Police" starring Sandra Bullock in his previous life , This story tells the hilarious story of FBI agent Sarah, who is vastly different in personality and figure, and Shannon, a Boston policewoman, who were teamed up together by mistake to investigate a case, what Eric remembers the most is that the two raised their glasses to celebrate the final victory after a series of twists and turns, but there was a muffled bang, Sarah directly smashed the beer glass, and the glass shard cut a wound on Sarah's hand.

The whole story is full of very happy laughs everywhere, and Eric didn't even have to worry about it to find two candidates for the main role, Nicole played the FBI agent who was very popular and liked to nitpick, and Rosie O'Donnell, the Betsy who played with Nicole in "Sleepless in Seattle", just happened to play Shannon, and the image was very suitable.

Eric plans to ask Nicole to ask Paula Wagner to be the producer, and it would be even better if Pie Kinsley could make a Golden Globe nomination for Actress in a Musical Comedy for Nicole next year. Then in the summer file, arrange a hit film with good box office potential for Nicole, as long as two consecutive movies are successful, and the prequel to "Dark War" in which Cruise participates does not become a big hit, then the expected goal will be easily achieved. It is not difficult to calculate this goal, with the details revealed in "Dark War", this prequel will be another large-scale production with a total investment of nearly 100 million US dollars, and it will not be too successful if it does not get more than 300 million box office in the world.

In the original time and space, "Spicy Hand Police Flower" won the global box office of $200 million with an investment of 40 million, Eric did not expect this female-dominated R-rated comedy to be as successful as in his previous life, just because it was more than ten years in advance, and the budget for this version only needed 20 million US dollars, so even half of the results in his previous life would be enough for Firefly to make a fortune.

The English name of "Hot Hand Police Flower" is "The-Heat", which is a parody of the famous "Heat" in the original air. Now the classic "The Line of Fire" has not yet been filmed, in order to create a gimmick, Eric imitated the name of "Crazy Flowers of the End" and changed the name of the movie to "Sarah &Shannon", because "Crazy Flowers of the End" will also be released at the end of the year, and the English name of "Crazy Flowers of the End" is "Thelma &Louise".

Two films with a slightly feminist overtone were released at the same time, and the themes did not collide, which can play a good role in promoting each other.

Before the Oscars, Columbia, which has a lot of money or is not distressed about spending other people's money, reached a copyright transfer agreement with Fireflies for "Dark War", and half of the film rights were sold for 100 million US dollars, which made many film companies hot.

However, after the money arrived, it was transferred to Pixar for the production of "Bug Crisis", and a sum of money was allocated to the construction of the Preavista studio base, and the remaining funds were allocated to the budget of "Tornado", and the $100 million was spent before it was hot.

Eric also has to sigh that the film company in a state of rapid expansion spends money like water, if it is not for the fact that there are enough chips hidden in his hand, in the case of unwilling to go public and raise funds, Firefly will undoubtedly embark on the road of debt management like other film companies. Many second- and third-tier film companies in Hollywood, which have great potential to develop into giants, are often thrown on the road to development because of a vicious circle of huge debts.

After months of public relations, on March 25, 1991, the 63rd Academy Awards was held as scheduled at the Holy Citizen Auditorium in Los Angeles.

For Eric, he is completely a passerby at this Oscar, and the nominations for "Ghost Love" have nothing to do with him.

As for the award presenters, the Oscar organizing committee was very happy to let Eric present the award on stage, but it was difficult to get Eric to present any awards.

In Hollywood, stars of Eric's age can often only show their faces on stage through guò technical awards, which still requires enough connections and fame, just like Nicole's best photography award guest this year, which was won by Pai Kinsley. However, with Eric's current status, if he was asked to award those insignificant technical awards, Eric would not agree at all, but if he was asked to award important awards such as Best Director and Best Picture, Eric's qualifications were not enough, and in the end he had to give up.

The courtesy car slowly stopped at the end of the red carpet, Eric got out of the car calmly, and the reporters who were waiting around cheered up and raised their cameras, looking forward to the appearance of Eric's female companion, no matter who Eric would walk the red carpet with, as long as the photos were taken, whether they were true or false, they could be hyped.
