Chapter 692： I don't buy insurance

"The script outline is a pair of very different police detective partners. When investigating a case, they misplaced their identity in front of important witnesses. In order to gain the trust of witnesses, they had to exchange identity life in the subsequent investigation process. story."

Jerry Bruckheimer didn't notice the subtle changes in Eric's expression. Compared to David Weissberg, who was awkward when introducing "Dragon Island", Brookhammer skillfully used high concepts. The rules of the film summarize the story in a simple and straightforward manner, and the simple details also show the huge gap between the gold producer and the ordinary screenwriter.

"This is a good idea. The model of the double detective partner has proved very successful in both the "Fatal Weapon" and "Beverly Hills Detective" films. The exchange of identity has also added to the story. Innovative element, Jerry, have you chosen the director?"

When Brookhammer heard Eric's words, he couldn't help but sit up straight and asked, "Eric, you won't be interested in this story?"

In the original time and space, "The Jedi" was blushing. Later, Hollywood's two heavyweights Michael Bay and Will Smith, although only a low-cost crime film, are enough to prove their excellence, Eric Of course, it’s impossible to let go, nod. “Why not, this story is very attractive, and the cost is not high. Maybe it’s possible to get unexpected results.”

Brooke Hemer put away the expression he had just wanted to chat, and he answered the question that Eric had just said: "You know, the project of Jurassic Park 2 has just been completed. I have only recently made time to prepare for it. A stage of work. I got this script last year and I saw it for the Firefly Studio. They think that similar films have been filmed too much, so they didn't pass. I didn't intend to hand you this book. Here, the contact with Colombia has just begun. Now, apart from the budget data, there are no directors or actors."

The firefly's film business is mainly handled by several major studios. In addition to several key films each year, Eric will personally make and monitor production, and other low-cost films. Eric’s attention is not too much.

Hearing that the script had been eliminated by fireflies, Eric did not have any dissatisfaction with the production department, and Brookhammer did not accuse the firefly production department of having a bead. In Hollywood, everyone knows that the head of the studio has to pick out dozens of films from a large number of scripts every year. It is impossible to determine the potential of all the scripts. The film that was bumpy in the production process but eventually proved to be a big sale was basically turned around in the hands of all the studios.

Moreover, if there is no memory of past lives. Eric is also likely to feel that this script is too cliché. Not to mention those drowning in the nameless follow-up, even the most famous two similar series "Fatal Weapons" and "Beverly Hills Detective" have already taken a lot of sequels.

"That way, even if I cooperate with Colombia, I think this project can be carefully considered. At the end of this year, the firefly is currently only identifying a "101 Dalmatian" in Christmas. Maybe it can be used. Put it on Thanksgiving."

"Eric, Thanksgiving, are you kidding?" Brooke Hemer said with surprise. He had expected that such a low-cost crime action film would be good if he could get an Easter schedule. Even if it is placed in the cold autumn season, it will not be surprising, the summer file and the New Year file have not been considered at all.

"Of course not," Eric said. "However, I haven't seen the script yet, so this is just a preliminary idea. I still need to see the quality of the film after it is finished. If the idea is good, it will become a bad film. That grateful file is definitely not there."

Brooke Hemer said: "I am calling to let people send the script."

Eric looked at his watch. Road: "This is good, but I still have things. The script is delivered, I can only watch it at night."

Brooke Hemer is not in a hurry: "Of course. You look at it slowly, I will prepare for "The Desperate Island", let us take the time to talk."

Sending Brookheimer away, Eric is still thinking about this. The "Dragon Island" and "The Jedi" that I met today are all directors of Michael Bay in the original time and space. It seems that At that time, the bomb will be turned into Hollywood.

In the original time and space, although Michael Bay has been ridiculed as an explosive shell, he is also one of the most hated directors of film critics, but in fact, Michael Bay is the 'darling' of Hollywood studios, mainly Because Michael Bay never plays deep and single-mindedly shoots commercial films, not only most of the films can bring profit to the filmmakers, but even more difficult is that they never overspend and overdue in terms of production budget and shooting cycle. An alternative Hollywood office worker.

Thinking of Michael Bay, my thoughts naturally cannot be around "Transformers." Eric suddenly realized that the copyright of this super-large series of potential has not yet been obtained.

However, the reputation of "Transformers" is too big. If you want to get the copyright, you still need some twists and turns.

Just remembering these things in the work memo, Eric heard that the office door was ringing, and then Emily probed in: "Eric, it’s been a few days, you won’t Also planning to let me pigeons?"

Eric collected the memo and got up and smiled at Emily, who was standing at the door. "You don't have to be so embarrassed, you use the trick to block the door."

"You dare to say me! Just let you help look at the commercials, you can delay for so long."

Eric and Emily walked out and said, "For your sake, I have pushed off my appointment this afternoon, but there is always a situation where you can’t hide. You don’t know me recently. How busy, except for the death postcard and the rattlesnake, I have been the same as the actor in Robert Altman's "Big Player" these days, 135 calls a day, if you insist on one year is 50,000."

Emily apparently did not read "The Big Player" and grinned: "How could it be so much?"

Eric looked at Emily and smiled. "If you just want to see Wei Mi's commercials, take the videotape to my office. You insist that I go to the post-production studio. Is there any other plan? First, please recruit in advance. Otherwise, I will never cooperate."

Emily flashed a guilty expression, but she quickly became arrogant: "Don't a smart man should be confused at the right time?"

"This is the obligation that Chris should bear. I can't manage it."

"There is nothing to expect from you." Emily said: "This is the case. We have chosen an alternate director for this year's Wei Mi show. He is very good at advertising and mtv production, and has taken some Professional awards, we just cooperated with a commercial, when you have not finalized whether to hand over the Vimy big show, so I want you to help."

Eric shook his head and smiled. "No, I think the truth should be like this. He wants to switch movies. But in Hollywood, there is a lack of way, you want him to make a big show, so I sell it. It is."

Emily looked helpless: "Okay, okay, I admit that you are a little smarter than Chris, can't you?"

Eric is no longer a joke. He said: "First, let's just say, I don't guarantee anything. If you promise something in advance, solve it yourself."

"I am not a fool. How can I give promises in advance. And creating a chance to get in touch with you is already what many people dream of, and he will not be stupid enough to ask for anything."

"Oh. It seems like this, I am a big man right now," Eric shrugged and asked, "What is the name of that guy?"

"Michael Bay."

"Oh...ah?" Eric just nodded, but subconsciously raised the tone, and the tone was full of surprises.

"Michael Bay, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, it seems, where I heard it." Eric argued, but he felt in his heart. Is today the explosion day?

In the original time and space, Michael Bay was once the director of Victoria's secret advertising film. The female lord of "Transformers 3" was born in the Victoria. After Emily's introduction, Eric knew that Michael Bay had already become famous in mtv and advertising circles and won a series of mtv and commercial awards.

However, even if the mtv or commercial director is the ultimate, the industry status is far less than the film director, and even the status of the TV director is not as good. Just as stage actors and TV actor will sharpen their heads into the big screen, there aren't a few mtv or commercial directors who don't want to transform film directors. Hollywood is the most successful in this regard, it is Michael Bay and David. Finch.

The post-production center of Firefly Studios.

For the first time in the studio, Eric saw Michael Bay's advertising work. With the long-term tempering in the mtv and commercials industry, Michael Bay has formed a strong focus on color control, fast mirroring and lens editing. Personal style, and, as long as I watched Michael Bay's movie, I know that he is very good at showing the curvaceous beauty of the female body. In the Transformers, Megan Fox leaned over the hornet's hood and almost all men. The scene in which the audience relished, and the cooperation with Wei Mi to shoot the advertisements in the game is simply a combination of heaven and earth.

After reading the commercials for one minute and thirty seconds, in addition to the mediocrity of creativity, Eric did not find any dissatisfaction. Moreover, advertising creativity is not the aspect that Michael Bay is responsible for.

The lights lit up, and Emily, who was sitting next to Eric, was most concerned about the issue of Wei Mi, and couldn’t wait to ask: "Eric, what do you think?"

Eric looked at the other side of Emily and probed a pair of Michael Bay, who was listening to it. He nodded: "Color, editing, and soundtrack are all very good. If you only take a five-clock TV commercial, this one. The film is enough, but the overall lack of creativity in this commercial, the one-and-a-half-time commercial is just a sturdy accumulation of a series of surname elements, I can't find any focus at all."

Emily said: "We just intend to intercept TV commercials, but Eric, do you have any ideas?"

"This," Eric shrugged and said: "You are looking for an advertising company to pick it up. I don't have more time to help you to toss it. However, if you think about the long-lasting big-name commercials, you will Know how important creativity is, so you'd better pay attention to it."

Emily is not reconciled, but she knows that it is impossible to ask for too much. Eric has already created an influential Vimy big show advertisement for Wei Mi, and it is impossible to waste too much energy in this area, so the body leans back. Officially introduced: "Eric, this is Michael Bay."

Michael Bay quickly got up and took the initiative. Reaching Eric: "Mr. Williams, nice to meet you."

Eric got up and shook hands with Michael Bay and smiled. "The mirrors in the commercials are great. Emily said that you will take over the big show of this year. I hope you can make another one." The impressive inner Yiyi show."

"I will try my best, Mr. Williams."

When he said this, everyone got up and left the studio, going through the long corridor and going to the conference room on the other side.

Michael Bay is in the crowd. Looking at Eric, who was whispering with Emily and Edward Lazek in front, was a little disappointed, thinking that this opportunity had passed. But after a while, he saw Eric twisted his head and waved at him, so he hurried forward.

"There is nothing wrong with us, let me go," Eric said. He did not follow Emily and others to the meeting room. Instead, he turned to the stairway and walked straight downstairs.

Michael Bay has some time to figure out the situation. I spent a moment in the same place until Edward Lazek patted him on the shoulders with envious eyes, and then I woke up. Surprise, the footsteps did not hesitate to follow up.

After several years of development, in addition to the oversized office space, office areas such as digital studios, studios and post-production centers have been surrounded by green trees.

Eric took Michael Bay away from the post-production center and walked along the avenue to the administrative district, and nodded to the staff who greeted him from time to time.

Michael Bay was slightly staggered to follow Eric's side. He knew nothing about Eric's character. Although he wanted to show something, Eric did not take the initiative. He didn't dare to say anything, but he used his eyes to look at the young people who suddenly rose up in Hollywood in recent years. Although he is a few years younger than himself, Michael Bay can clearly feel the calmness of Eric's completely unaged age. He knows that this is definitely not an illusion, but he can't find any reason for explanation. It can only be attributed to the natural aura brought by power and wealth.

The unpredictable Hollywood director of the past life is now behind the younger brother, the two worlds are human beings, and after so many years, the point of suffocating when the rise has disappeared, Eric has not produced too much shallow The sense of vanity is just a bit inexplicable.

Near the administrative building, Eric finally told Michael Beto: "Emili said that you have won many awards in music mtv and commercial production. I also read your recent commercials, very hard, so you want To make a movie, the foundation is definitely enough."

Michael Bay didn't expect everything to be so easy, and almost jumped up in excitement, but he immediately realized that Eric's words didn't finish, and he converges and continues to listen.

Eric smiled and said, "You must be waiting for 'but'?"

Michael Belle pouted, it was an attachment.

Eric said: "There is nothing, but there is only one. Last year's Wei Mi big show, I spent half a year personally planning, it is my hard work. The foundation has been laid, so this year's Wei Mi big show production It will be a lot easier, but I hope that you can spend at least three months thinking about it."

"Mr. Williams, I promise, I will never let you down."

"Call me Eric, it’s always strange to hear that you are older than me and call me a serious one."

Entering the administrative building and coming to his office, Eric’s office secretary in the studio saw him come back and sent a portfolio bag. “Mr. Williams, this is Mr. Brooke Hemer’s just sent. Come."

Eric took the portfolio and pushed the door into the office, but did not go to the desk, but sat down on the sofa in the reception area, indicating that Michael Bell was free, saying: "Want to drink, let Gina go." ”

"Coffee, coffee is fine," Michael Bay just sat down and saw the secretary of the office look over, and he rose up and said politely.

The female secretary nodded and went out. She did not ask Eric, and she obviously knew something about his personal habits.

Eric unpacked the portfolio, which contained two scripts, "The Brave Island" and "The Jedi". The script of "The Jedi" was handed to Michael Bay, and Eric turned himself on. The script of "The Brave Island" was watched. Michael Bay doesn't know what Eric is all about. But still read the script carefully and read it.

After more than ten minutes, Eric looked at the script of "The Desperate Island" and looked at Michael Bay. This large production script in the hand can be postponed for one year. The original director who gave Michael Bay is still good, but in order to fill the summer file next year. This plan can only be temporarily suspended.

Feel that Eric stopped, Michael Bay also raised his head in a timely manner, sorted out the contents of the script he just saw, and planned to deal with the possible problems of Eric.

Eric put the script of "The Desperate Island" on his lap and asked the opposite Michael Beth: "How do you think this story?"

Michael Bay thought that Eric looked at the same copy of the script of "Jesus Warrior" and nodded: "Combined with the criminal elements of "Deadly Weapons" and the comedy style of "Beverly Hills Detective", it is wonderful, making It must be a very good film."

"In this case. Let Gina give you a copy of this script, take it back and study it. After two days, I will let you contact you to discuss the establishment of the crew."

When Michael Bay heard these words, he snorted in his mind and confirmed that he had not heard the mistake. He still asked incredulously: "Wei... Eric, you mean, let me direct this film?" ”

"Yeah, or. Do you think you still need to continue to experience in the advertising industry?"

Michael Bay quickly shook his head and subconsciously grasped the script in his hand: "No, no. Eric, I don't need to... I have to practice, I can take the job."

Although it seems that Eric made this decision a little sloppy, Michael Bay will never take the initiative to question anything, but decisively agree.

Eric smiled and said: "That's it, but there are two things I want to remind you, first. Or I just said, you need to make three months for the big show. So, this You need to complete the film before August."

There are still seven months. Michael Bay recalled the plot of the script that he just saw. There weren't too many big scenes and no special effects, so he nodded: "No problem."

"You will definitely feel that my decision is a bit sloppy, even chaotic, right?"

"No, absolutely not."

"It doesn't matter if you really think about it. However, the second point, you have to remember that as long as the quality of the film is fine, the film will be placed on Thanksgiving. In addition, I and Jerry will personally. Named producers. We all love face, if you mess up, you can only continue to shoot ads."

Michael Bay’s heart glimpsed, and the excitement just cooled down.

He still thought that Eric had made some decisions about this decision, but after listening to these words, he realized that the script in his hand is definitely a project that Fireflies attaches to, otherwise Eric and Jerry Bruckheimer Big names will not personally name the producers, nor will they place the film schedule on the popular Thanksgiving Day. If the movie is messed up, the media will only rush to the two big-name producers, but his rookie film director will not want to mix again in Hollywood.

Eric looked at Michael Bay, who was looking changed. "How do you dare to take the job now?"

Michael Bay wants to think about it for a few days, but he realizes that this hesitation will only disappoint the young Hollywood tycoon, but hesitated for a moment and decisively nodded: "Eric, I am going."

"Very good," Eric nodded with satisfaction and said: "There is one more thing, you can rest assured that if there is a problem with the film in the future, but the responsibility is not on you, Jerry and I will not anger you, so You just have to do your best."

This endorsement made Michael Beton, who had a tight heartstring, a lot easier, and nodded quickly.

Half an hour later, Michael Bay left the cinema administrative building and walked on the avenue of the cinema. He felt the movie script in his hand. The excitement of the sudden arrival of the opportunity came to his mind again. The more he wanted, the more happy he was. Michael Bay time completely ignored the more and more pedestrians on the way to work time. He shook his fists and shook his fists. He jumped a few steps and made a shooting action. He couldn’t help but open his mouth. Leaving the main road and rushing to the lawn in the studio, I took out the Motorola mobile phone at the waist, completely disregarding who was on the opposite side. I picked up a number in the address book and dialed it out. The opposite voice just sounded, and loudly said: Hey, man, can you guess what I have just encountered, I got the script, the screenplay, I am going to make a movie soon, Eric Williams personally handed me the script, Irene Ke Williams, the one in Jurassic Park, haha, I will soon... Amount, ah, sorry, I am sorry, no, I don’t buy insurance, no, no, I don’t buy car insurance... ..." (to be continued.)
