Chapter 914： Early childhood destruction

A faint morning light was projected into the master bedroom of the Freedom City. Eric first woke up, and the palm of his hand gently stroked the smooth skin of the girl in her arms, thinking of Iron Man.

In the script, Tony Stark and Vanity Fair reporter Kristenons, not only took the initiative to avoid the next morning, but also felt embarrassed when they met again. This reaction is definitely not like a cover for fashion magazines throughout the year. The girl played the playboy.

Well, I have to change.

Staring at the ceiling and quietly pondering the details of the script for a while, Eric couldn't help but laugh silently.

Ok, then come yourself.

The average rhythm of two years, the schedule is really well arranged.

No longer entangled in this problem, Eric felt that the girl's originally gentle breathing on her chest became rushed, looking down, the girl's eyes were still closed, and it seemed that she did not intend to wake up.

Eric smiled and his palm began to slide.

Jennifer Love Hewitt, who had wanted to continue to sleep, suddenly trembled, clenching his legs, and blushing his face and looking up: "Eric, you are so bad."

Eric holds Jennifer on himself and feels the tenderness of a soft and delicate body. "Girls say that they usually want men to be worse."

Jennifer Love Hewitt pressed Eric to still be a strange hand, dissatisfied: "Why don't you bully Sarah, she must be sleeping?"

Eric turned to look at the other side of the girl who didn't know if she was also sleeping. She smiled and turned Jennifer down. She said, "No hurry, time is still early, neither of you can't escape."

After eating breakfast and sending away two girls, Eric directly called Jos Weiden to let him cancel the next actor audition of "Iron Man" actor.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Eric rushed to Firefly Studios, and Brigitte Fonda, who was determined to be a small pepper player, was notified and also came over. Hearing Eric’s intention to appear in Tony Stark himself, he was surprised. The chin almost fell.

It’s hard to see the beautiful chin drop, so Eric reached out and picked it up on Brigitte Fonda’s chin, let her close her mouth and smiled: “Let’s go, let’s go to the audition first, can we Not necessarily yet."

Brigitte Fonda is very dissatisfied with Eric's recent actions, but the surprise in his heart is not to be able to calm down for a while, so he honestly followed everyone into an audition room.

Busy for one morning, Eric and Brigitte Fonda performed the most popular play of Tony Stark and Little Pepper in Iron Man.

Finally, including the fireflies, such as Kasenberg, Frank Wells and other high-level fireflies, who received the notice, agreed that Tony Stark was tailor-made for Eric. During the audition, Brigitte Fonda, a professional actor, sometimes couldn't even keep up with Eric's performance rhythm.

After having lunch, everyone gathered in the conference room again. Eric, who was sitting at the top, looked at the crowd and said, "In this case, let's discuss what to do next?"

Frank Wells and others have returned to work, but Kasenberg has not left, saying: "Eric, I think, in order to ensure the success of Iron Man, you should lower your own as much as possible. Exposure, in order to avoid as much as possible the impact of your inherent identity on the screen image."

"This is no problem," Eric nodded. He didn't like to appear in the spotlight. How good is the 'black hand' behind the scenes: "So, about my appearance in Tony Stark, I will announce it before the start of next year." ""

Everyone unanimously nodded and agreed, it is now August, the North American summer file is coming to an end, but at the same time, the live summer movie "Royal Casino" is also in the ninth week.

Although this week, the Royal Casino's expected box office is only less than 4 million US dollars, the film has entered the final stage in North America, but for eight weeks of screening, "Royal Casino" has reached a total of 300 million North American box office. More than $63 million, which is comparable to the majority of box office estimates of $370 million in total box office data.

At the same time, "Royal Casino" has more than 470 million overseas box offices, and the global box office has reached 830 million US dollars. With the arrival of the second phase of the Royal Casino in September, the global box office exceeded $1 billion. The problem, it can be said that "Royal Casino" has almost locked in the 1997 box office champion.

Influenced by the Royal Casino, even though Eric has always disliked the appearance of the show, his sense of presence in the public has been extremely strong recently. In this case, it is naturally not appropriate to immediately announce that he will appear in Tony Stark.

The habitual low-key life of most Hollywood stars is not unreasonable.

If the media exposure is too frequent, and when viewers see them on the big screen, it may be difficult to create a sense of identity.

Discussed the media operation around Eric's "Iron Man", and naturally can't escape the issue of pay.

Although Pierce Brosnan had a gust of trouble for the 007 sequel to the remuneration, the entire project team in the Royal Casino, the most rewarded, is actually Eric himself.

His salary contract is a base salary of $8 million plus a 10% global box office share, although this time the box office share is not based on actual global box office figures, but MGM's share of the studios obtained from the global box office. 10%, but with the fact that "Royal Casino" is now heading for 1 billion in the world, Eric will eventually receive no less than $50 million.

Of course, throughout Hollywood, perhaps no one thinks that Eric should not take so much compensation. Strictly speaking, Eric actually took the initiative to lower his own pay standard. After all, if it's other Hollywood directors, making a $1 billion global box office movie, it won't stop if you don't take away $120 million.

Now, Eric wants to change his status as Tony Stark. If it is true, the pay is really hard to calculate.

Whether it is MGM or fireflies, although the control is firmly in the hands of Eric, but the equity is not entirely Eric alone, so even if it is filming his own company's film, its own interests and company interests still have to The distribution is clear, otherwise it will inevitably encounter some unnecessary troubles in the future.

Eric naturally will not waste too much time on this issue, just signing a newcomer contract in accordance with Marvel Pictures' pre-planned pay plan, symbolically taking $500,000. As for the future, Eric also set his maximum pay limit to 20 million US dollars. This is the highest pay for the Marvel system for its actors. Eric will not take the initiative to break this restriction.

At the end of the day's meeting, when Eric and Kasenberg had dinner, he handed over another document that he had drawn out today.

Kasenberg looked at the list in his hand and said: "Garfield, Scooby Doo, Teddy Bear, um, and Japanese horror film, Eric, what do these mean?"

"Copyright," Eric took a sip of red wine and said: "I have sorted out in recent days, you let the copyright department buy the copyright of the three animated toys like Garfield, Scooby Doo and Teddy Bear as soon as possible. I am going to make a movie of live-action animation mixed mode, just like the original "Who Framed Rabbit Roger", but this time we use the 3D animation situation. As for the Japanese horror film, this is what I watched last night. When I was thinking of the Devil, although the popular horror films have been popular in recent years, the movies that really bring fear to people are always very marketable. This is actually very good for Japanese horror movies. So, you I recently sent someone to go to Japan to collect some scripts of Japanese horror movies. I will see if I am interested."

In fact, this document was Eric’s thoughts when he was with Sarah and Jennifer last night.

In the end, the two girls not only have a lot of similarities in height, looks and temperament, but even the stars in the original time and space are very similar.

In addition to a "Vampire Hunter Buffy" brought Sarah Michelle Galla a greater reputation, the two girls appeared in the late 1990s as a series of teenage horror films, similarly, into the new millennium, The two played in "Scooby", the other starred in "Garfield", and then participated in several Japanese horror films. And these are all very good movies at the box office.

"Scoobi" and "Garfield" are already very classic cartoons. "Teddy Bear" is completely a sinister taste of Eric's temporary intentions. He plans to break the childhood in advance.

As for the Japanese horror film, in memory, some of the most classic Japanese horror films, such as "Midnight Ring" and "The Curse", have not yet appeared, and Eric will simply let Kasenberg take The way to spread the net, just go to Japan to search for the script of the horror film, I must find a few classics easy.

After listening to Eric's explanation, Kasenberg remembered that Drew had searched for the copyright of the scripts and even caused all the movie companies in Hollywood to rob them. The copyrights of those scripts in the past were almost all of the Hollywood box office.

Very careful to collect the documents in his hand, Kasenberg also asked indefinitely: "Eric, these should not be the mainstream film type, you, um, is there a list similar to Drew's collection of copyright? ?"

Eric couldn't help but rolled his eyes and smiled. "Jeffrey, my energy is limited. I can't put my mind on these things all day. And, you calculate, we store it now." The copyright project is enough to develop the Marvel series for decades. There are also "Transformers", "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" to be published soon. I dare say this. Any one is almost enough for a film company to eat for ten or eight years."

Kasenberg grinned and said: "This is of course, of course, the better the good projects, the better. Well, you just gave me, I will let people contact the copyright party as soon as possible, then three The live-action animation combined with the movie, which one do you plan to make first? "Who has framed the rabbit Roger" I personally participated in the year, this type of film needs to be prepared a long time in advance."

Eric only has some approximate impressions on Scooby Doo and Garfield. What he really saw is Teddy Bear. However, he has a little experience. This type of film is a sequel to the box office. It’s all bad because the audience is very fresh after watching the first one.

"Then "Teddy Bear"," thought, Eric smiled and said to Kasenberg: "You buy the copyright first, and I will come up with a rough plan."

Leaving from Sharp Point Manor, Sarah Michel Gaila and Jennifer Love Hewitt have been thinking for the next few days, perhaps, that night with Eric is a dream.

At least, the feeling of excitement is still very good, and Eric Williams personally gave them breakfast.

They naturally want to get something from Eric here, but this kind of thing can't usually be said too straightforwardly. They have also heard that many girls in Hollywood and directors or producers still have nothing to gain after going to bed. It is a dream to try to convince themselves to calm down.

However, on the third day, they still got a good news. They received a notice from the agent, and the two heroines "I know what you did last summer" fell on them.

When I think of Eric’s words that they are not suitable for appearing in a movie, the two girls naturally feel that this is definitely the result of Eric’s intervention, but then the two girls’ hearts are inexplicably inexplicable. Lost. Perhaps, after getting these two roles, Eric will definitely not have any connection with them anymore.

In the end, it is still a transaction.

But this time, the two girls guessed wrong.

In the next days, Eric was put into the supporting audition of Iron Man, but he forgot about it without knowing it. He thought about giving the two heroines of Garfield and Scooby Doo to Jennifer and Sarah again, but it was only from the perspective of their two really suitable films.

Although Hollywood has never lacked the role of the crew to create certain transactions, Eric has never had this kind of thinking. After all, if you want a movie to succeed, this kind of self-control is a must. If a movie is not properly selected, the loss can be hundreds of millions of dollars. Hollywood people who are somewhat sensible understand this. No woman deserves so much money. (To be continued.)
