I’m in Hollywood

Chapter 107: Do you believe in love at first sight

"Motorola agreed to pay a sponsorship fee of 3 million US dollars, but the prerequisite is that the leading actor must be Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks as previously disclosed."

"Lamborghini's sponsorship offer this time is a one-time payment of 800,000 US dollars. The other party has learned to be smart and no longer accepts the rule of floating sponsorship fees based on box office."

"As for the others, Ray-Ban sunglasses are priced at US$500,000, requiring more than 5 seconds of close-up shots of the Ray-Ban glasses trademark in the movie, and Hershey Chocolate Candy Company also bid US$500,000 to buy out the placement advertisement of the box bomb …”

In the meeting room, Jeffrey's tone was excited, and he read the quotations of the sponsors who were interested in purchasing the product placement one by one.

In fact, Eric also has the same document in his hand, but Jeffrey couldn't help reading it out. He was so happy. If all the quotations on the document are finally finalized, it means that the filming has not yet started, and Firefly will A profit of more than $6 million was obtained.

In this era, Hollywood has more than 500 movies that have the opportunity to appear on the theater screen every year, but even if you count the peripheral profits such as the videotape broadcast rights in the later stage, it is profitable. If the profit reaches 6 million US dollars, there will be no more than 50 films.

Eric reviewed his own opinions on the back of those advertising quotations one by one, and then closed the folder and handed it to Jeffrey: "Okay, Jeffrey, just over 6 million dollars in sponsorship, did you succeed like this? "

"It's only more than 6 million dollars," Jeffrey raised his head dissatisfiedly, repeated Eric's words, and retorted: "Eric, you have the ability to find me another movie that can get 6 million dollars in sponsorship Come?"

"Not now, doesn't mean there won't be in the future," Eric spread his hands: "Perhaps in another ten or twenty years, the film will be able to recover most of the cost just by placing advertisements."

"There is no need to wait ten or twenty years," Jeffrey said with some emotion, "If it was the last "Pretty Woman", if we got so much sponsorship money, it would have already recovered the cost."

"There is absolutely no objection to this assumption," Eric suddenly remembered another very important thing: "Did you tell these sponsors what was kept secret before the movie was released?"

"Of course I won't forget," Jeffrey replied, "I explained the pros and cons to them clearly. Before the movie is released, the sponsors won't reveal a word."

Eric nodded reassuringly, stood up and asked: "That's good, today's audition will start again soon, do you want to come?"

"Forget it, it's too torturous, so I won't go." Jeffrey hastily refused. Originally, he enjoyed the producer's power over the life and death of the actors, but it was a pity that he sat behind the audition table for several days in a row, repeatedly Asking questions, watching the performances of the audition actors over and over again, slowly, the previous sense of superiority completely disappeared, leaving only boring and exhausted.

The actor auditions in the past few days have also made Eric dizzy. This is mainly the audition for the role of "Dark War". For each role, there are hundreds of actors who have qualified for the audition. Filtered results. In addition, some actors who have been eliminated still want to get a second audition opportunity through various channels from time to time.

Eric has decided to hand over the auditions for the two films "Small Island Cry" and "Scent of a Woman" to directors Jonathan Demme and Martin Brest. He intends to let the two directors choose first For less than ten candidate actors, it will be much easier to conduct the third round of audition by yourself.

The only thing that is better than auditioning various villains a few days ago is that today's audition is the role of Andy's encounter girl yoyo on the bus, the one that was teased by gay friends or fake gay friends to intervene in the purity of Andy and Sean The third party of good feelings.

Of course, this is just a joke. Although the two protagonists in "Dark War" are very cool in the drama, it is generally a sad and cold story. If the cute guy "Chief Inspector Huang Qifa" is the touch of joy in the story, yoyo It's that warm color. A story full of joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys, just like life.

Eric previously set the standard for this role as a beautiful woman between the ages of 18 and 30 with a professional personality. Therefore, today's audition process must be very eye-catching.

A girl walked out of the audition room, gently opened the door, and after turning around, the expression on her face quickly disappeared. Ignoring all the searching eyes in the corridor, she carried her bag and walked towards the agent who was waiting not far away. The two whispered After a few words, he walked out.

The staff member came out and read another name, another girl was called in, and the next one was herself. Gwyneth Paltrow took out the makeup mirror in her bag and checked her makeup again.

She was born in 1972 and is only 17 years old this year. According to the standards set by Eric, Gwyneth would not even get an audition opportunity. But this didn't bother her, because she knew Drew, who had a close relationship with Eric Williams, and their godfather was Steven Spielberg.

That little bitch, who is said to have been taken care of by Eric Williams, is really getting worse and worse.

Gwyneth's father is a producer, and her mother is a well-known film and television actor. Her family background is a hundred times better than that of Drew. She has looked down on Drew who is cute with a baby face since she was a child. Even at the party at Spielberg's house, Gwyneth seldom greets Drew. She prefers to get along with those peers who have similar family conditions to her own, so as to help her future development.

However, Gwyneth, who was about to enter Hollywood, was immediately moved when she learned that there was an opportunity to cooperate with big names such as Eric Williams, Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks.

If she can get this role, her career in Hollywood will have a higher starting point than those young actors who have struggled for many years. So without hesitation, Gwyneth immediately contacted Drew, hoping that the other party could help her get an audition opportunity.

Although she hadn't been close to Drew before, there was nothing wrong with the two of them. That little Bichi was coaxed into agreeing with a few plausible words from him, it was so foolish, no wonder he has degenerated to the point of being kept. Gwyneth thought so contemptuously, and after less than five minutes, the girl who had just entered came out with a disappointed expression on her face.

The eyes of all the actresses waiting in the corridor lit up, and there was one less competitor.

"Next, Miss Gwyneth Paltrow."

Gwyneth stood up quickly, took a deep breath to adjust her state, walked into the audition room with a faint smile, and sat down on a chair. Looking forward confidently, he looked at the blond young man sitting in the middle with his head bowed and writing something. That was Eric Williams. He was really handsome.

Gwyneth's heartbeat accelerated a bit, and she couldn't help but wonder if the other party would invite her to dinner. Perhaps, she should refuse the other party once to show her reserve. Men won't cherish it if they get it too easily. She is quite confident in her looks.

After more than ten seconds, the young man on the opposite side raised his head with a smile on his face: "Hello, Miss Paltrow, please introduce yourself first."

During the brief eye contact with the other party, Gwyneth saw that Eric Williams must know her, which made her a little excited. It seems that the little bitch still played a role, at least the other party did not pretend to be herself is a stranger.

“Hi everyone, my name is Gwyneth Paltrow, I am 17 years old and graduated from…”

After a short self-introduction, Eric asked: "Miss Paltrow, according to the information, you have never participated in any movies before. Why do you think you can get this role?"

Gwyneth still had a smile on her face. She just made some preparations for this question and answered calmly: "Because I was born in an acting family, and my mother was an actress. When I was very young I started to help my mother with the lines when I was a child. Under such circumstances, I have always maintained a strong interest in acting. Since middle school, I have been the backbone of the school drama club and participated in many famous plays. He has accumulated a wealth of acting experience in stage plays.”

After Gwyneth finished speaking, she saw several judges on the opposite side nodded at the same time.

"Miss Paltrow, do you believe in love at first sight?" Another question was thrown from the other side.

Gwyneth was stunned for a moment, completely unaware of the intention of the other party asking this question. As a Westerner who is prone to hormonal sparks in her bones, Gwyneth still believes in love at first sight. However, she felt that if she answered that way, Will it appear that I am rash.

There was no urging from the other side. Gwyneth thought for more than half a minute before she said, "No, I don't believe in love at first sight. Compared to this, I am more willing to accept the sincere feelings cultivated by being together for a long time."
