Chapter 107: A Girl of Interest

"I'm just casually saying that you don't have to follow me all the time. Eric drove the car and glanced helplessly at Drew, who was in the co-pilot.

Drew snorted, chewed gum a few times, and continued to look down to play with the handheld in his hand, the sound of dripping and beeping wafting through the carriage.

"Jenny will be back in Los Angeles at the end of the month, and she will probably move in with her. ”

"Uh-huh," Drew said a little louder, but she didn't mind.

Drew was not optimistic about Eric's relationship with Aniston from the beginning, Eric is a very strong character in his bones, although he usually seems to be amiable, and it seems that anything can be discussed, but once he is arrogant, he will not allow others to go against his will. And Aniston's little girl is so stubborn, with a kind of self-esteem with inferiority in the strong and strong, it may be nothing to get along with in the short term, and the two sides will accommodate each other when they encounter friction. But after a long time, it is impossible to maintain the situation of mutual tolerance, not to mention that Eric is still so attentive, it is no wonder that Aniston can endure it.

Drew often fantasizes that he may be the most suitable one for Eric, and that she can tolerate and even indulge his strength, his heart, and his oneness. In order to get along with him better, Drew, who was dizzy when he read a book, also deliberately read a lot of books such as personality psychology, just to understand him better.

Although she loves him and can give him a qiē, she knows that he will not belong to her after all, and it is really sad to think about it.

The reason why she is pestering her so much today is not that she is jealous, well, it is indeed a little.

But she is more just showing her sense of existence. She knew that he must have understood in his heart, he was so smart, how could he not understand, she just wanted a little more, and she was not greedy at all.

It's the first time Drew has come to Firefly headquarters, and although she grew up in front of a camera, she doesn't know much about the inner workings of the studio. I was full of curiosity about the qiē here, so I specially pulled a female staff member who worked overtime on the weekend to lead me around, and the dubbing room and editing room went around, and I also curiously manipulated some equipment, but Firefly is not a big film company after all, it took more than ten minutes to turn around, and then obediently stayed in the small screening room and watched the videotape. He didn't go on to harass Eric.

After explaining that the name given by Drew was added to the audition list, Eric flipped through the roster of actors who had passed the first round of screening.

After reading a few pages, the actors on it basically echoed the screening conditions he listed. As for whether there are private goods in it, there is no need to guess for sure, even he himself has added a lot of favors to it, not to mention other people in the company.

He can even be sure that when he auditions in the future, even the actor audition order arranged by the staff will be tired, but as long as it doesn't go too far. As for whether it will be unfair to those actors who have no connections but have good acting skills? Sorry, there is never any fairness in this world.

As the company grows and the number of affairs increases, it is impossible for Eric to grasp every ounce of power in his hands, and the casting rights of some minor characters will slowly be handed over to others.

The person in charge of casting will not joke about their careers, and once the selected actors do not meet the requirements and affect the filming, the person in charge will most likely be fired, so those actresses who are delusional about sleeping with the casting assistant director and get the role, if their acting skills are not good, most of them will end up empty.

After reviewing part of the audition list, Eric was not in a hurry to leave, since he came, he looked at the detailed budget tables of the three films, because it was Columbia who was responsible for the investment, and Eric set the budget at $40 million, which is a super high-cost system for a non-special effects film. But Eric doesn't plan to save Colombia money, and if he can't spend it, Colombia won't put the rest of the money into his card.

So Eric shifted the goal of spending money to the actors. The female character of the head of Interpol sent a cameo invitation directly to the alien queen Sigourney Weaver. The other party also agreed, of course, the cameo fee is not low, it doesn't matter, it's not bad money, anyway, don't spend your own money.

As for the 'Chief Inspector Huang Qiqi' who grabbed the show and had no friends, Eric took a fancy to Joe Pesci, the actor of the stupid thief Harry in the original version, when Eric was preparing, he thought about inviting the other party, but unfortunately the budget was not enough, so he could only make do with a TV actor, but the actor was directly robbed by the newcomer Matthew Perry, and the eye-catching person in the new version is no longer an old thief, but a thief.

Joe Pesci just received an invitation to another blockbuster, Warner's investment, which is also a fairly high-grossing film series of Warners, and has been making five films in parallel time and space. When the other party hesitated between the two movies, he received a salary offer from Firefly, and then there was no hesitation. Of course, Eric also specially conducted an audition for the other party, and the effect was good, Joe Pesci has a very happy Donald Duck voice and has a comedic talent. I just don't know if Tom Hanks, who also has excellent acting skills, will be suppressed when filming in the future.

As for the other supporting roles that have not yet been selected, Eric has also set the standard at the level of second- and third-tier actors, if he doesn't have acting experience in two or three movies and has no connections, he will be brushed down directly, and he won't even be qualified to audition.

And Eric's budget for personal investment is much less, the investment budget is set at $10 million, and Al filmed this movie, mainly to the Oscars, and only got a salary of 3 million. As for the budget, the budget is only 5 million, Jonathan Demmy's directing fee is $500,000, and Virginia gets the same salary as Juilliard, $300,000. Because the entire set of the film was set in an old English house, the remaining funds were more than enough to complete the shooting.

After reading the long budget table for the three films, Eric stretched, looked at the watch, and got up to leave. I asked the staff who stayed behind, and I learned that Drew had left early. Little Nizi is so knowledgeable, Eric is embarrassed not to go home at night. After calling Virginia and informing her that she wouldn't be coming back tonight, Eric drove back to the Beverly Hills mansion.

The girl was obviously happy to see him go back, but she still ate takeout at night. Eric was busy all afternoon, too lazy to cook, Drew has no talent for cooking, and it is not impossible to insist that she cook something, although he is not mentally retarded to the point that salt and sugar are not distinguished, and sauce and vinegar are mixed, but the things made are difficult to swallow.

"Eric, why don't we hire a chef?" Drew said on a whim at the table, apparently tired of eating pizza delivery.

Eric slice a piece of pizza and stuffed it into his mouth, nodding, "It's better to hire a few more maids, I prefer Japanese maid costumes, what about you?"

"I like ......" Drew just said the beginning, then closed his mouth and glared at Eric fiercely: "You are such a possessive male creature that is so perverted that no one of your kind is allowed to appear in the territory even if it is empty." ”

"Tsk," Eric curiously looked the girl across from him up and down, "I didn't expect you to say such a reasonable thing, I really underestimated you before." ”

Drew pursed his lips and lowered his head to continue dealing with dinner, ignoring Eric.
