Chapter 257: What to do

"Mr. Jaffe, since a film like "Island Cry" from a ghost perspective has been successful, then I think a romance film with a ghost as the protagonist must also have a lot to do......"

The middle-aged man with a pair of glasses, who looked to be in his forties, had not finished speaking, when the man he called Mr. Jaffe interrupted: "Okay, Bruce, I know you've been pitching your script, but I'm really not interested in it, I'm working on another movie recently." ”

The others at the table chimed in: "Forget it, Bruce, don't you think a romance with a ghost as the protagonist looks ridiculous, and besides, it's still a tragedy." ”

"A lot of memorable stories are tragedies," Bruce countered.

"What's the use of having a deep memory," a man with brown curly hair followed: "I have also heard about your script, and it will use a lot of special effects, and the investment will not be less than 20 million US dollars, which is already a mid-to-upper investment, and it is a big adventure for the producer." Bruce, since you're interested in ghosts or paranormal phenomena, you should put more effort into writing some horror scripts, like "Island Cry", instead of thinking about ghost romances. ”

As Eric approached, he heard the brown-haired man's words, and his heart suddenly moved.

'Ghost romance film', 'Bruce', just these two keywords, Eric has already affirmed seventy percent in his heart, the tear-jerking "Ghost Love" in his previous life, isn't the screenwriter named Bruce Joy Robin. And, count the time. If you don't show up. The film may have already begun to be made.

Although the director of "Island Cry" is Jonathan Demmy. But there was no doubt that Eric was the one who caught the most eye in the pie, so as soon as he approached the long table where the buffet was held, the group that was chatting immediately surrounded him and enthusiastically introduced himself.

When Eric put away the business cards handed over by these people one by one, and politely handed out his work cards, he pretended to ask casually, "I just heard the word ghost, what are you talking about?"

Everyone is not sure what to find to be close to Erecla. Hearing him take the initiative to ask, the middle-aged man who was turned into Mr. Jaffe by Bruce immediately said: "It is a script, about a murdered bank clerk turned into a ghost to protect his girlfriend from being hurt by the wicked." ”

Eric remembered that the middle-aged man named Charles Jaffe had just introduced himself, who seemed to be a vice president of Paramount, and thought that the other party must have been taught by Barry Diller's high-concept film concept, and summarized the plot of "Ghost Love" in one sentence.

At the same time, Eric was more sure of his guess just now, and the middle-aged man with glasses who was squeezed to the periphery of the crowd must be Bruce Joy Robin, the screenwriter of "Ghost Love".

Although after entering Hollywood, Eric has repeatedly sorted out and recalled the well-known films in the past few years, and tried his best to win the shooting rights of some films. But after some investigation, it was found that many film copyrights have been obtained by big film companies. Others are nowhere to be found.

"Ghost Love" is one of the impossible scripts, Bruce Joy Robin did not have any fame in Hollywood before this movie, and after some inquiry, Eric did not even find him.

In the end, Eric could only decide to take one step at a time, because "The Love of People and Ghosts" was released in the summer of 1990, according to the general process of making movies in parallel time and space, this film should have begun preparations this year, and the script must have appeared earlier, maybe he appeared before he crossed over, so it is impossible for Eric to copy it and use it directly.

Eric didn't immediately show any interest in the script, casually glanced at Bruce Joy Robin, and focused on small talk with the group around him.

Don't look at the enthusiasm of the executives of these big companies or well-known producers now, with his current experience of making all the blockbuster movies, if he dares to show his interest in the script of "Human Ghost Love" on the spot, then these people will definitely immediately turn their faces and join the ranks of snatching the script.

After a while of small talk, Eric separated from the men, and did not communicate with Bruce Joy Robin the whole time, and since the other party had already appeared, it would be much easier to find this person afterwards.

But many things are always unexpected, and as soon as he walked away, Bruce Joy Robin chased after him: "Mr. Williams......"

Behind Eric, the middle-aged red-haired man who had just knocked Bruce Joy Robin saw his actions and said to Charles Jaffe with a smile: "It seems that Bruce is still unwilling to pester Williams again." ”

Charles Jaffe took a deep look at the back of the middle-aged man who was catching up with Eric, and said, "Brian, do you think Williams will take a fancy to that script?"

"Who knows, but in Eric Williams' eyes, if you fall for that script......" said the middle-aged red-haired man named Brian, who suddenly stopped, exchanged glances with Charles Jaffe, and then parted as if nothing had happened.

The two men just nodded their heads at each other, and Charles Jaffe was the vice president of Paramount, and he was at Warner. If Eric has determined the potential of this script and competed, the two will definitely be rivals. Hearing the conversation between Charles and Brian, several people around looked in Eric's direction.

Eric is also having a headache now, Bruce Joy Robin has already started to narrate the plot of "Ghost Love", what can he do now?

Pretending not to care, and then he came to the door with enthusiasm, and Bruce Joy Robin was not stupid, and it was even more troublesome when the time came.

If you disparage the script severely, then you may not even have the opportunity to cooperate.

The first two methods would not work, and if he showed interest in the script on the spot......

At this thought, Eric couldn't help but look around, and many people had already turned their attention to their side, especially those who had just chatted.

These people are all human spirits, as long as he dares to reveal what he thinks, then fight afterwards, among a bunch of jackals, tigers and leopards staring at him, the firefly can only be regarded as a thin hyena at most. (To be continued......)
