I’m in Hollywood

Chapter 140: High concept film

Views:

One and a half months of high-intensity and intense shooting, especially the subsequent month of location shooting, the actors were better, but the dozens of crew members were exhausted and exhausted. Therefore, the celebration and carnival after the closing of the mirror also became extraordinarily unrestrained due to the sudden relaxation under the long-term pressure. The party hall was full of noise, and some people would utter a few high-pitched ghost cries from time to time.

Eric just laughed off this situation. After all, everyone has been suppressed for a month, and it is understandable to show some gaffes now. Most of the actors of "Dark War" received party invitations, and several leading actors also came to the party scene.

However, after seeing the chaotic scene, Cruise, who maintained his identity, stayed for less than 20 minutes before leaving. Although he was born at the bottom, Cruise has now automatically classified himself as a group of people at the top of the pyramid. Of course it is impossible to play with this group of crew members. Some older crew members and actors also left one after another. With Eric's mental age, it is true that he can't enjoy this kind of carnival party, but as the director of "Dark War", he has to stay.

In the whole hall, Eric is the youngest. Although Eric | Ke scolded others on the set, he would act very oppressive, but in other cases he still looked like a harmless young man. In addition, the crew members are familiar with Eric's character and know that he is a person who can take jokes, so it is logical that they become the object of everyone's teasing and teasing.

After being poured a few bottles of beer for various reasons, Eric left the crowd in the name of urine escape, and walked out of the banquet hall to the bathroom at the end of the corridor. When he came out, I don’t know if it was a coincidence. Brooke Shields also came out of the opposite bathroom, wiping her hands with a paper towel with her head down.

"Hi, Brooke," Eric greeted with a smile, "Did you have a good time?"

Brooke Shields followed with a sweet smile: "It's okay, although it's a bit noisy." As the most beautiful woman at the party, Brooke Shields naturally became the object of everyone's attention. Brooke Shields Xiaosi also enjoys this feeling of being sought after by others, but Eric's attitude towards her has always been neither salty nor weak.

After seeing Eric say hello, she turned around and was about to leave. Brooke Shields quickly stuffed the tissue in her hand into the trash can, followed in two or three steps, and stretched out her hand to pull Eric.

"Boji, what's the matter?" Eric turned around.

Brooke Shields hesitated for a moment before saying, "I just, just want to say thank you, Eric, thank you for giving me the role of yoyo."

This sentence of thanks is not polite at all. Since Brooke Shields was revealed to be joining the heroine of "Dark War", although many media have said that she was nominated for the Golden Raspberry Award several times in a row, insinuating It is impossible to get this role by virtue of her strength, there must be some inside story, but it is an indisputable fact that Brooke Shields' popularity has risen again, the media's attention to her has rapidly increased, and paparazzi appeared around her again when she went out , this situation has not happened for many years, the last time was when she was intimate with Michael Jackson a few years ago. More importantly, this kind of attention can bring her actual economic benefits. During this time, she has received several invitations for advertising endorsements.

"It's nothing, Bo Ji, your performance in "Dark War" is still very good. I believe that after the movie is released, your character image will definitely leave a deep impression on the audience."

"So," Brooke Shields heard Eric's praise, looked at him expectantly, and asked, "Eric, will we have a chance to cooperate again in the future?"

"This..." Eric hesitated for a moment. He didn't expect the girl to ask so bluntly. If he told the truth, he would definitely not cooperate with you again. However, Eric would definitely not do such hurtful words. Ming said, "Boji, you have to understand that this requires the right opportunity."

Bo Ji Xiaosi's expression quickly dimmed, and any man would feel a little bit unbearable to see her delicate expression. This is simply a goblin.

Eric looked at the girl's expression, and even felt a slight sense of guilt. After thinking about it, he tried to comfort him and said, "Boji, I think you should focus on independent movies next. First choose a few excellent scripts to hone your acting skills."

Brooke Shields has been in the independent film circle for more than ten years since she started acting in movies at the age of twelve, until she got the role of "Dark War". In the circle, if you want to stand out from the independent film circle, the most important thing is to have outstanding acting skills. With your acting skills, you can win some important film awards, and then you can break into the mainstream film circle.

But this path is impossible for her, because she is too beautiful, even if she has a little acting skills, she will be covered up by that face and devil figure, not to mention that she does not have that kind of acting skills, even if she returns to solitary In the film industry, he can still only play vase roles, so he has no future at all.

Of course Brooke Shields understands that even if she wants to play a vase, she should play a vase in a big-budget movie. Even a supporting role in a big-budget vase will have more influence than the leading role in a small-scale production. .

It is a pity that although Brooke Shields has some fame, she is only a prettier star, which is not enough to arouse the interest of mainstream Hollywood film circles. There are so many beautiful and acting actresses in this circle, and few A big production movie dares to invite her, who has been nominated several times by Golden Raspberry, to take risks. Eric can be regarded as the first director who dares to "eat crabs" in the past few years.

"Eric, I know my strength. If I return to the independent film circle, I will never be able to stand out. You... do you have time tomorrow, maybe I can treat you to dinner and express my gratitude."

"No need, Brooke," Eric refused, noticing the girl's embarrassed look, and quickly added: "To be honest, after "Dark War" is released, I believe that with the influence of your role, you will definitely You have received a lot of movie appointments, as long as you can choose the script carefully, even if it is a vase role in a few movies, as long as the movie sells well, you will definitely be among the ranks of A-level actresses, so there is no need to pin your hopes on on me."

Brooke Shields was very disappointed at Eric's rejection, but after hearing Eric's last words, she suddenly became enlightened. Although the girl is not very smart, these things can still be understood. If " "Dark War" made her popular, and she really didn't have to go back to make any low-budget movies.

"Then, Eric, I still have to thank you," Brooke Shields thought about the matter clearly, and finally showed a satisfied expression, as if the series of disappointed expressions just now had never appeared on her face. After the girl finished speaking, her beautiful eyes blinked twice, and she suddenly stepped forward to hold Eric's shoulder, and kissed him lightly at the corner of his mouth. Seeing Eric's stunned expression because of his sudden sneak attack, the girl Showing a bright smile, he turned and walked towards the banquet hall.

Eric touched the corner of his mouth, shook his head and smiled and walked towards the banquet hall.

"Eric, you've been here for so long, can't you have an affair?" Seeing Eric appear, Tom Hanks walked up and handed a glass of champagne to Eric, with a mocking expression on his face She pursed her lips towards Brooke Xiaoshen, who was chatting with someone not far away.

Eric took a sip of the champagne and showed a smile that you understand.

Hanks also showed a smirk, and the two exchanged disgusting eyebrows a few times before Hanks closed his expression a little, and he was about to be misunderstood if he joked: "Eric, do you have any questions about my next movie?" Are you ready, I'm waiting."

As he said that, Hanks stretched out five fingers and waved them in front of Eric's eyes, as if to remind him not to forget the promise of the five movies with a box office of over 100 million. In the previous agreement, Eric did not include " "Dark War" is counted among the five films.

"The script has already been written," Eric said, "After you complete the post-dubbing of "Dark War", you can prepare."

Hanks can also be considered a workaholic, especially in the past few years, he has taken on two or three movies every year, which is definitely considered hard work in the actor circle. Hearing Eric's words, Hanks also came to the spirit: "First Can you tell me about the plot?"

"Let's talk over there," Eric pointed to the sofa in the corner, where a man and a woman just left to walk to the dance floor, Hanks nodded, and the two walked over.

"It's also a romantic comedy called Sleepless in Seattle, a script that I came up with when I went to New York."

"Romantic comedy?" Hanks touched his face hesitantly. A few years ago, Hanks was a little handsome, and it was reasonable to play in a romantic comedy, but after turning thirty, Hanks is basically It's not even close to handsome.

"Eric, do you think my image is suitable for this kind of movie?"

"Don't worry, this is not an ordinary romantic comedy between young men and women," Eric explained: "You will play a single father in the movie."

"Single father?"

"Well, don't interrupt, Tom, and let me finish the story, will you?"

"Okay!" Hanks raised his hand.

Eric then said: "The story is like this. After his wife died unexpectedly, the infatuated Sam always couldn't forget his wife for a long time, so he decided to leave the sad place of Chicago and take his eight-year-old son Joe with him. Na moved to Seattle. On Christmas a year later, his son Jonah dialed an emotional hotline called "Sleepless in Seattle", hoping to find a new wife for his father who was still under the shadow of widowhood. Coincidentally Under the circumstances, this emotional call connects Sam's family with a woman named Annie in New York. Although Annie is engaged, she is moved by Sam's infatuation and can't help but write a letter to Sam. This letter fell into the hands of Sam’s son Jonah, who felt that Anne was a good match for his father, so he replied on his own behalf for his father and agreed that they would meet on the top floor of the Empire State Building in New York on Valentine’s Day.”

""Jinyumeng"?" Hanks blurted out after listening to Eric's narration.

Eric nodded: "There will be a lot of scenes in this movie that will pay tribute to "Jin Yumeng"."

"Eric, according to what you said, will the story of this movie be simpler?"

Eric smiled and spread his hands: "Tom, I'm just telling you a story. This is a standard high-concept movie. The story is simple, clear and even clichéd, which is the main feature of a high-concept movie. A movie If you want to sell well, you must first have a simple and clear story line, and the rest depends on the strength of the director and actors."
