Chapter 194: Hey

"Eric, isn't there another movie this year that hasn't found a distributor?" After a few other conversations, Robert Shay unconsciously shifted the conversation to the Firefly movie.

Eric looked around, the moon was finally closed, and he had entered the post-production stage, and he had just seen Al Pacino, because he was chatting with Robert Shea at the time, and Al just nodded to him from a distance.

However, at a glance, although many people greeted him when they met him, he didn't see Al and the others for a while, so he quickly turned his gaze back to Robert and said, "Yes, it's just an art film of the movie." If it can win the award, the box office of this movie will definitely be good, if it can't be won, it will be difficult to say. Although I have watched Mao's films, Al's performance is very amazing, but after all, the Oscars still have a lot of games, and it is not that if the film is excellent, it will definitely win the award. ”

Robert Shea knew that Eric didn't trust his PR connections: "Eric, I admit that in terms of connections, I am definitely inferior to the Big Six studios, but it doesn't mean that the other party can win awards because of this, the Big Six at most rely on this advantage, brush up on a few nominations at the Oscars, and improve the sales of box office and follow-up videotapes, just like last year, you should have seen it, although that movie won a series of nominations, but in the end it got nothing, this is the PR result of Fox." The real award must be based on strength. While PR is essential, it doesn't mean that PR represents a qiē. Think again, Eric. If it's going to be distributed by a big company, they definitely have other films to work on, so they won't focus all their energy on this one film, but I can put all my resources and connections into this film. ”

Eric hesitated briefly.

Robert Shay knew that Eric had loosened, and hurriedly said, "Eric, haven't you noticed? This year is a typical Oscar year. ”

"Huh?" said Eric, with a puzzled expression, vaguely remembering that there was such a statement. But it's only a half-understood kind.

Robert Shea patiently explained: "If you think about it, last year's Dustin Hoffman, as well as this series of Oscar hits, the last Golden Globe Award for drama actress produced 'three yorks', and it was unprecedented that three people won the best actress at the same time. It was a standard Oscar year. But this year is different, now two-thirds of the year has passed, and I don't even see a shadow of an Oscar hit, you might say that those films will definitely be at the end of the year, but I still have some concerns about this aspect, and in my memory, there are no new works by big directors or well-known actors at the end of the year. So I'm sure this year is definitely an Oscar year. As you said, Mr. Al Pacino's performance is very impressive. Well, with the fact that he has already been nominated for several Oscars for Best Actor, it's easy to imagine what the final result will be. ”

Eric fell into deep thought. He didn't care that Robert Shea simply ignored what he might do at the Oscars. He knew that at the age of less than twenty, the film academy, which is still very conservative now, would definitely not award any awards to him, and it would be a good result to be able to brush a few nominations and show his face.

He was thinking about what Robert Shea said about Oscar's year, and as Robert Shea told him, Eric also remembered more about Oscar's year in his previous life. In my memory, it seems that I only won one award for Best Actor, and I don't know who the Best Picture nomination was lost to. But this year, if it's really the Oscar year. There is definitely the possibility of hitting the Oscar for Best Picture.

"Eric?" Robert Shay waited for a while, but didn't see any reaction from Eric, and couldn't help but remind.

Hearing his name, Eric suddenly retracted his thoughts, and accidentally shook his wrist, almost spilling the red wine: "Oh, sorry, Robert, I'm a little distracted. ”

Robert Shea asked, "What do you think?"

"Huh?" Eric didn't react for a moment after Robert said a few tirades.

"About the release?" Robert Shea seemed to patiently remind.

Eric was a little entangled in his heart, if this year was Oscar's year, it would be safer to hand it over to the seven major operations.

Before the Weinstein brothers cultivated into Oscar gold medal promoters, the big studios still had an absolute advantage in the public relations of this award, but at the same time, he also knew that, as Robert Shea said, none of the seven would go all out, unless he gave up most of the benefits, but isn't it for the sake of profit?

Eric was about to agree, but Al Pacino finally came out of nowhere and walked towards him, and Eric remembered his promise to Al that the film was created to get Al Pacino Best Actor. So, if you listen to Robert Shea's advice, because of the new line release after the merger of Firefly, then there must be a certain risk in terms of award PR, although it is extremely unlikely, but what if Al passes by the Oscar for Best Actor again because of the butterfly effect? At that time, Al Nanbao will not be estranged from the fireflies because of this incident, Eric personally still values the partnership with Al Pacino, the nineties is also a peak period of Al Acting career, and maintaining a good cooperative relationship with each other, whether it is the box office or the awards, the Fireflies can be more beneficial.

In this case, it is better to put the decision on Al, although the possibility that the other party will be fooled by Robert and finally agree, but if a very unlikely event really happens, it is unlikely that Al will spill his anger on the firefly.

"Robert, I personally agree with this matter," Eric said, and before Robert could show a happy look, Eric added: "However, the decision was made, although Al has now gained more, but I can't ignore the original promise, so if you want to keep the distribution rights, you also need to be able to convince Al, oh look, he's coming." ”

Eric casually placed the goblet in the tray of a passing waiter and walked towards Al Pacino: "Al, it's been a long time. ”

Al Pacino warmly hugged Eric: "Long time no see, Eric, you look much more mature and handsome, and you are even more fascinated by the little girls, don't forget to give us old men a little way to live." ”

"Haha, you can't find a beautiful woman by your means," Eric said with a few jokes to Al, "Al, this is Robert Shay, Robert, this is Al." ”

"Actually, you don't need to introduce us, we still know each other," Al said, shaking hands with Robert Shay, "Hello, Robert, I believe working with Eric is the right choice." ”

Robert Shay smiled, "I hope so, too." ”

"So, we've just talked about it, so let's talk, I'll go to the bathroom first. Eric pointed to the corridor not far away, and although Al Pacino wanted to talk to Eric more, he nodded in the direction he was pointing.

Eric greeted the guests casually, walked slowly towards the door of the banquet hall, walked through the crowd, and just stepped into the corridor, a red petite body hit him, and fell backwards with a coquettish cry, Eric quickly reached out and grabbed the girl, holding it in his arms.

"It's you, your name is ...... Uh, Gabe......" Eric recognized the face at a glance, but he thought about it, but he didn't come up with the other party's name in the first place. Although the memories of the past life are magically copied because of the time travel, this body does not have the ability to remember.

"Gabriel Anwar. ”

The girl replied softly, originally found that it was Eric who hugged her, and she was still a little happy in her heart, but when she saw that the other party didn't recognize her, she was stunned, and her little hand was on Eric's chest, and she forgot to let the other party let go of herself.

Eric then remembered that this was the girl who came to Los Angeles from England alone to participate in the audition when he met the girl in the audition, and she was also the heroine of the amazing tango dance in his memory.

A middle-aged man turned from the banquet hall into the corridor with his head down, and looked strangely at the man and woman hugging each other. Eric turned his head when he heard the movement, and the man recognized Eric's identity at a glance, smiled dryly, and shrank back. Eric recognized that it was one of Firefly's employees, although the other party's reaction seemed to be a bit excessive, but it is also conceivable that the boss and the woman were 'intimate', and the woman was obviously not the boss's real girlfriend, in this case, in order to prevent being put in small shoes, it must be avoided.

"Just now, I'm so sorry I bumped into you, Miss Anwar," Eric was so disturbed that he quickly let the petite girl go from his arms, and subconsciously brushed the hair that fell on the girl's forehead.

"No, it's okay," the girl shook her head, her cheeks flushing as Eric's fingers moved in front of her forehead.

However, Gabriel soon became angry to find that the incomprehensible man had apologized and walked away.

Stamped her foot slightly, and the girl had to take the initiative to shout: "Hey!" (to be continued)
