After returning to the girl's mansion in Trousdale Manor to rest for a while, Eric and Eric set off to the nearby Lengshui Canyon at seven o'clock in the evening.
Eric had been to Kate Hudson's manor in Coldwater Canyon last time, but Kate Hudson's other family members were not there that time, but this time they were very complete.
Eric arrived with the girl, and Kate Hudson's family greeted them, along with some other guests who had arrived earlier.
Kate Hudson's mother is Goldie Hawn, but although her surname is Hudson, she has lived with her mother and stepfather since she was a child.
Kate’s stepfather, Kurt Russell, is also a well-known Hollywood actor, active in the 1970s and 1980s. Since Hollywood only began to expand globally in the 1990s, Kurt Russell’s international popularity is not high. Due to the age relationship, he now only plays supporting roles in some films. Eric's impression of the other party is only the perverted driver in Quentin's "Grinding Chamber Death Evidence" who drove a car of girls into their thighs, flying blood and blood.
In addition to Eric and Drew, the guests tonight include Gwyneth Paltrow's family and Kurt Russell's good friends, who are also famous Hollywood director Ron Howard's family.
Goldie Hawn’s generation is basically Hollywood stars, directors and producers who were born in the 1940s and 1950s and rose to prominence in the 1970s and 1980s. They also have the support of the previous generation of families. They can be said to be like the Coppola family. Hollywood tradition.
Speaking of which, if it wasn't for the girl's disappointment with her parents, they should actually belong to this circle.
Since it was summer, dinner was held on the open-air lawn with a cool breeze, and a long table was full of people, which was very lively.
Eric's position among this group of people was a bit embarrassing. He should be considered to be in the same age group as the girls. However, Eric's status in Hollywood made it impossible for Goldie Hawn and others to regard him as a Children and nephews look at it.
Fortunately, due to his psychological age, Eric naturally integrated himself into the circle of adults present, and a dinner can be regarded as a good time for both guests and hosts.
Tomorrow is Monday, and everyone has work, so the dinner party didn't go on too late. When the time approached ten o'clock, everyone was ready to say goodbye.
Eric said goodbye to everyone, and the girl came out from a group of children, big and small, and pulled a tall but young red-haired girl: "Eric, this is Bryce, our new sister , She has been studying in New York for the past few years, she just returned to Los Angeles, and plans to enter USC this year."
Eric naturally knew the girl in front of him, and everyone introduced each other at the beginning. Bryce Dallas Howard, daughter of Ron Howard. The Howard family's participation in this party was actually with the idea of letting their daughter integrate into the small circle of girls.
Smiling and greeting Bryce Dallas Howard, Eric said: "Let's go, we should go back, we have to work tomorrow."
The girl and Bryce Dallas Howard said something softly, the girl turned and walked away, and she came over and said with a smile: "Eric, I plan to stay overnight with my sisters today, go back by yourself."
Eric raised his eyebrows: "Are you planning to officially come out?"
"No." The girl stepped forward and hugged Eric, and said to his ear: "Natasha and the others are outside, you take them back together, hehe, don't think I don't know, You have missed them for a long time."
Eric showed a serious expression: "I think I need to explain."
The girl knew that Eric was obviously going to start talking nonsense, so she pecked him on the face and ran away with a smile. After returning to the group of girlfriends, he waved to Eric with a look of disgust. Kate Hudson in the crowd even hugged the girl's waist and kissed her on the cheek like a demonstration , the girls suddenly laughed together.
The girl didn't intend to go back, so Eric had to leave alone, said goodbye to Goldie Han and his wife in the parking lot, and got into the car driven by the twins.
On the way back to Trousdale Manor, through the rearview mirror, he saw the two sisters who were blushing along the way, and Eric had a kind of ancient virtuous wife who actively promoted her husband and her side. The big maid's idea of consummating the house.
Alas, the idea is so feudal.
But, uh.
The twins obviously had some panic that they didn't have on weekdays, and it didn't dissipate until they returned to Trousdale Manor, and Eric, who was tired, became a little nervous.
Recalling the script of "Pirates of the Caribbean" that he had read on the plane, Eric took out his laptop and sent an email to Katzenberg in order to ease the atmosphere when he got home.
Although Katzenberg is off today, he has always had the habit of getting up at four or five o'clock to start work. The two will have breakfast together on Monday morning as usual, chatting about various things in the company during the week. This topic can be discussed over breakfast.
After writing the email, I looked up again and found that there was only one girl sitting quietly on the sofa watching TV not far away, but the obvious blush could still be seen on the side of her face.
Karl Lagerfeld said that Russia is a magical country, it has the most beautiful women in the world, but it also has the ugliest men in the world. Given Lafayette's sexual orientation, it's hard to imagine whether he was happy or disappointed when he said this, but Eric completely agreed with his evaluation of Russian women.
The girl in front of her was only wearing a simple blouse and white slacks. Viewed from the side, her figure became increasingly slender and slender, but she did not lack the exquisite curves that a woman should have.
Feeling Eric staring at her for a long time, the girl obviously began to panic again, and the rosiness on her face had spread to her fair neck unknowingly.
Turning off the notebook and putting it beside him, Eric looked over, smiled and said softly: "It's really only one at a time?"
When the girl heard this sentence, she didn't answer, but looked down at the TV remote control in her hand, as if thinking about whether it could hide herself.
Eric didn't say anything, got up and walked over, glanced at the pendant on the girl's neck, this is the elder sister, stretched out his hand to hold the girl's little hand and pulled her up, seeing Natasha still holding the remote control tightly, Eric Rick didn't let her let go, just said softly: "Let's go take a shower."
The girl still didn't make a sound, but Eric held her little hand obediently and followed behind him.
Half an hour later, when Natasha, who was just wrapped in a big bathrobe, was placed on the big bed in the bedroom, Eric leaned down and kissed the girl on the lips. Just as he was about to continue the action, the girl's narrowed eyes opened wide. turned on, and murmured with a flushed face: "Light."
I was buried in a pile of bubbles in the bathroom just now, and I didn't have enough time to feast my eyes. At this moment, Eric said softly: "I want to see Natasha's body, okay?"
Natasha didn't answer, but closed her eyes again, her long eyelashes trembling.
Eric thought the girl agreed, and reached out to take off the bathrobe on her body, but found that Natasha's two small hands were tightly holding the bathrobe together, coaxed a few words, and gave her a little force , Eric found that his strength might not be as strong as Natasha, so he had no choice but to compromise, got up and turned off the light in the bedroom.
As the room darkened, Eric felt that the girl on the bed became more obedient. Although Eric was not allowed to look, she did not refuse Eric's touch, but the girl remained silent throughout the process, appearing very quiet.
When the critical moment came, the girl in the dark naturally put a pair of long legs around Eric's waist.
I thought it would be a good night, but at a critical moment, Natasha's long legs suddenly tightened, and the sharp pain in the waist and ribs almost made Eric's tears fall.
It really hurts.
It turns out that a certain screenwriter of the 007 series is not making up random things, and, perhaps, he has a very painful personal experience.
After a while, after confirming that Natasha didn't intend to kill herself, maybe it was entirely because of the conditioned reflex caused by the first time, Eric took a long breath, and asked carefully with a trembling tone: "Na ...Nata, has Eve watched "GoldenEye" too?"
…
In the early morning, Katzenberg arrived at Firefly Studios before seven o'clock as usual, and Eric rushed over immediately.
In the restaurant on the big ship, seeing Eric walk in, Katzenberg put down a document in his hand. Although Eric felt a little strange walking today, with his arms slightly raised, he was still very enthusiastic. I want to give Eric a hug.
Seeing Katzenberg's movements, Eric quickly raised his hand, shook hands with Katzenberg, pointed to his waist, and said, "No, Jeffrey, this, something is wrong. , I can’t hug others these days.”
Katzenberg sat down at the dining table in doubt, looked at Eric's situation opposite him, and suddenly asked tentatively in a low voice: "Is, uh, trapped?"
Noticing the surprise and embarrassment that flashed across Eric's face, Katzenberg immediately realized that he was mistaken.
It's wrong to laugh at your boss, and it's even more inappropriate to laugh at your boss in person.
However, Katzenberg still couldn't help showing a chinchilla-like grin, and took a sip from the water glass on the table, barely suppressing his laughter.
Eric casually ordered a breakfast to the waiter who came over. After Katzenberg also ordered and the waiter left, he said helplessly, "Is it so easy to guess?"
Katzenberg smiled and shook his head, "I just made a guess that I think is the most unlikely, and I want to liven up the atmosphere."
All right.
Eric simply stopped this topic, thinking about the situation last night, he himself is a little embarrassed now.
Alas, I hope there will be no psychological shadow left.
Katzenberg did not continue to tease Eric, saying: "I met with William yesterday. The shooting of "Gravity" may be extended by a month?"
The William Katzenberg was referring to was William Stewart, one of the producers of Titanic.
Eric had agreed with the other party that he would be his own producer. After Jeffrey retired, he will be responsible for part of the production of "Gravity".
Eric nodded and said: "I think some shots can be shot more perfectly with virtual cameras, so I plan to reshoot some shots. Don't worry, post-production and shooting are carried out at the same time, so this will not affect the film's schedule."
Strictly speaking, a virtual camera should be a computer software specially made for CG lenses. It does not have a physical form, but it can realize all the functions that a physical camera can achieve in a virtual environment.
Most of the scenes in "Gravity" are a combination of real scenes and CG. Eric wants to convert part of the shots into virtual camera shots. Some original materials can only be discarded and must be re-shot for synthesis. real scene.
The budget of "Gravity" is only 100 million US dollars, which is actually very economical for Eric's current coffee position. Therefore, when it comes to reshoots, no one cares about possible budget overruns. The most critical thing is the schedule. As the first major film to promote 3D and IMAX movie formats, if the schedule is delayed, it will be a disaster.
Hearing Eric's explanation, Katzenberg felt relieved and chatted about the progress of the '4200' plan: "We have confirmed the location of 110 IMAX theaters, of which 71 are in China and 39 are in China. Overseas. For 3D movies, REG showed a very strong interest in our plan. However, they asked for the monopoly of 2,000 3D screens in China, and they also asked us to provide a high guarantee and at least two years after the theater renovation was completed. I have already rejected the 3D movie list, but everyone has not stopped negotiating. I have sent a detailed report to your assistant's office, you can take a look when you are free."
REG (Regal-Entertainment-Group) is the largest theater alliance in the United States, which translates to Royal Entertainment Group. The company actually consists of a series of sub-brands, with a total of nearly 7,000 screens.
Although it is the largest theater chain alliance in North America, REG cannot cover all regions of North America after all. Many states in the federation do not have REG business. Both Eric and Katzenberg hope that 3D screens can be spread across the country, which will further promote The promotion of this kind of screening format, unless it is a last resort, it is naturally impossible to agree to REG to monopolize the 2000 3D screens.
After the '4200' project, the two chatted about some things, and they ate almost the same breakfast, Eric asked: "Have you read the email I sent you last night?"
Katzenberg nodded, patted a folder next to him, and said, "I was reading this script just now, but compared with "Cutthroat Island", I think this script just has some more fantasy elements, and the story It also seems very clichéd, and there is really nothing outstanding. I also called in the morning to find out. This story has been out for two or three years, but because of the failure of "Cut Throat Island" that year, the script has been in the hands of the agent and no one cares about it. .”
Eric agreed, and said: "I think so too, but I don't plan to follow this script, I just hope to take this idea down, and then modify it on the basis of this story. Sparrow's supporting role has been promoted to lead role. So, you'd better get those two screenwriters back from Paramount, I don't have so much time to revise the script myself now."
"I will arrange this as soon as possible." Katzenberg nodded. He just expressed his opinion just now, but now he has no doubts about Eric's vision in movies: "However, Eric, we sold the entire Disney hand-drawn animation studio. I don't know if Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott will be willing to come back."
Eric was not too worried, and said: "They shouldn't let go of this opportunity. After all, the two of them are just ordinary screenwriters, and they are not big names. Of course, it doesn't matter if they don't want to come back, as long as we can Just get the script idea.”
