"I just said casually, you don't have to follow me all the time." Eric drove the car, and looked helplessly at Drew who was leaning on the co-pilot.
Drew snorted softly, chewed his gum a few times hard, and continued to play with the handheld device with his head down, the sound of beep beep wafting in the car.
"Jennie will return to Los Angeles at the end of the month, and it is very likely that they will move in together by then."
"Hmm," although Drew's voice was a little louder, she didn't mind it.
Drew was not optimistic about the relationship between Eric and Aniston from the very beginning. Eric has a very strong character in his bones. Although he usually looks amiable and seems to be able to discuss everything, once When he becomes 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 that is so strong but with inferiority complex, it may be nothing to get along with each other in the short term, and both parties will accommodate each other when encountering friction. But after a long time, it is impossible to maintain the situation of mutual tolerance, not to mention that Eric is so careless, it is no wonder that Aniston can bear it.
Drew often fantasizes that she may be the one who is most suitable for Eric. She can tolerate and even indulge his strength, his love, and everything about him. In order to get along with him better, Drew, who was dizzy after reading a book, read a lot of books on personality psychology, just to understand him better.
Although she loves him and can give everything for him, she knows that he will not belong to her after all, it is really a sad thing to think about.
The reason why she pesters her so much today is not that she is jealous, well, it is indeed a little bit.
But she is more just to show her sense of existence to others. She knew that he must understand in his heart, he is so smart, how could he not understand, she just wanted a little more, she was not greedy at all.
It was Drew's first visit to Firefly's headquarters. Although she grew up in front of the camera, she didn't know much about the inner workings of the film company. I am full of curiosity about everything here, so I specially hired a female staff who works overtime on weekends to show me around. I went around the dubbing studio and editing room, and manipulated some equipment curiously, but Firefly is not a big family after all. It took more than ten minutes to go around the film company, and then obediently stayed in the small screening room and watched the video tape. Did not continue to harass Eric.
After telling people to add the name given by Drew to the audition list, Eric looked through the list of actors who had passed the first round of screening.
After reading a few pages, the actors above basically agree with the screening conditions he listed. As for whether there are any private goods in it, there is no need to guess. Even he himself has added a lot of favors to it, let alone other people in the company.
He was even sure that in the future auditions, there would be tricks in the audition order of the actors arranged by the staff, but as long as there were no major mistakes, it would be fine. As for whether it will be unfair to those actors who have no connections but good acting skills? Sorry, there is never any fairness in this world.
With the growth of the company and the increase in affairs, it is impossible for Eric to hold every ounce of power in his hands, and the casting rights for some secondary roles will slowly be handed over to others.
The person in charge of casting will not joke about his career. Once the selected actors do not meet the requirements and affect the shooting, most of the person in charge will be fired. Therefore, those women who want to sleep with the assistant casting director and get the role Actors, if their acting skills are not good enough, they will most likely end up with nothing at both ends.
After reviewing part of the audition list, Eric was not in a hurry to leave. Now that he was here, he read the detailed budget tables of the three films "Dark War", "Small Island" and "Scent of a Woman". Because Columbia was responsible for the investment, Eric set the budget at 40 million U.S. dollars. For a non-special effects film, this is considered a very high-cost production. But Eric doesn't plan to save money for Columbia. If he can't spend it all, Columbia won't send the rest of the money to his card.
So Eric shifted the goal of spending money to actors. The female character in charge of Interpol directly sent a cameo invitation to Alien queen Sigourney Weaver. The other party also agreed. Of course, the fee for guest appearances is not low.
As for the "Chief Inspector Huang Qifa" who snatched the show and snatched no friends, Eric took a fancy to Joe Pesci, the actor who played the stupid Harry in the original "Home Alone". When I was in Home Alone, I thought about inviting the other party, but unfortunately the budget was not enough, so I could only use a TV actor to make do with it. As a result, the actor was directly robbed by the newcomer Matthew Perry. In the new version of "Home Alone", the outstanding performance No longer an old thief, but a little thief.
Joe Pesci just received an invitation for another blockbuster film, "Lethal Weapon 2" invested by Warner, which is also a very popular film series of Warner, and has been filming five films in parallel time and space. When the other party was hesitating between the two films, he received a salary offer from Firefly, and then there was no more 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 comes with a talent for comedy. I just don't know if Tom Hanks, who is equally good at acting, will be suppressed in the future filming.
As for the other supporting roles in "Dark War" that have not yet been selected, Eric also set the standard at the level of second- and third-tier actors. If there is no acting experience in two or three movies and no connections, then they will be rejected directly. Didn't even qualify for an audition.
However, the budgets of "Scent of a Woman" and "Small Island" invested by Eric himself are much smaller. The investment budget of "Scent of Scent" is set at 10 million US dollars. Al shot this film mainly to go to the Oscars. Yes, only 3 million yuan was paid. As for "Small Island", the budget is only 5 million. Jonathan Demme's director fee is 500,000 US dollars, and Virginia's film salary is the same as Julia in "Feng Yue", 300,000 US dollars. Because all the scenes of the film are in an old English house, the remaining funds are more than enough to complete the filming.
After reading the long budget sheets of the three films, Eric stretched his waist, looked at his watch, it was already 6 pm, and got up to leave. I asked the staff who stayed behind and learned that Drew had left early. Xiao Nizi is so witty, Eric is too embarrassed not to go home at night. After calling to inform Virginia that he would not go there tonight, Eric drove back to the Beverly Hills mansion.
The girl was obviously very happy to see him go back, but she still ate takeaway at night. Eric has been busy all afternoon and is too lazy to cook. Drew has no cooking talent at all. It is not impossible to force her to do something. But it is hard to swallow what is made.
"Eric, why don't we hire a chef?" Drew suggested at the table on a whim, obviously tired of eating pizza.
Eric cut a piece of pizza and stuffed it into his mouth, nodded: "It's better to hire a few more maids, I prefer Japanese-style maid outfits, how about you?"
"I like it..." Drew just said the beginning, then closed his mouth and gave Eric a hard look: "You are such a possessive male creature, even if the territory is empty, you will not Allow any of its kind to appear."
"Tsk tsk," Eric looked up and down at the opposite girl curiously: "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.
