Although the two had an intimate relationship, Nicole did not stay in Eric's mansion for one more day, and obediently moved into the apartment that Eric had found for her that day.
The time has entered August. For a movie whose release time has entered its fourth week, the box office data of "Dark War" of more than 26 million US dollars can be said to be still strong, and the total box office has exceeded 150 million US dollars. It takes a lot of luck to surpass "Batman" within a certain period of time, but there is no suspense for the film's total box office in North America to exceed 200 million.
Moreover, "Dark War" is more popular in overseas markets than in North America. Although the release time of most overseas countries is later than that of North America, and there are even many countries that have not been released, but in the countries and regions where it has been released , "Dark War" won 12 first-week box office champions in one breath. In this case, it is certain that the overseas box office of "Dark War" must be much higher than that in China.
Although Columbia originally invested in this movie with the intention of not making a profit but only pushing up the stock price, the fact is that the other party can not only recover the cost, but also make a fortune just by relying on the box office. Take the lead, although the period for videotapes to recover funds is very long, in the next few years, this part of the proceeds will also bring Columbia Pictures hundreds of millions of dollars in profits.
For Eric, the "Dark War" project is already a thing of the past, and he just needs to wait for the share.
According to Hollywood practice, a movie as popular as "Dark War" must have repeated sequels. But for the sake of safety, Eric does not intend to participate in the production of the sequel. The classic of the first film is difficult to surpass. The sequel of "Dark War" in the previous life does not have many bright spots.
If the script of the future sequel is very good, Eric only intends to let Firefly participate in part of the investment. If the Japanese can offer a good price, Eric can even sell the copyright of the half of "Dark War" that belongs to Firefly to the other party. After all, without Cruise, without Eric, and only Hanks left alone, it would be difficult for the sequel of "Dark War" to recreate the brilliance of the first one. The cost of the second part will definitely increase greatly in the future, so it will not be easy to make money.
After the "Dark War" project, Eric also started the intense work in the second half of the year. First of all, he needed to shoot the first two episodes of "Friends". Because of the lens implantation of "Friends", the public is also looking forward to this TV series. The other is "Sleepless in Seattle", which is the penultimate film of this year, and it is actually the last film that Eric will make with his heart. Although Fox attaches great importance to "Home Alone", this movie can't consume Eric's energy anyway, not to mention that he also plans to use the second script from his previous life, so it will be easier to shoot.
Although "Sleepless in Seattle" is only in the initial stage of preparation, the promotional work in the early stage has already begun, and the news of the starring role has also been revealed quickly. The actors who worked with Ke were disappointed. Tom Hanks as the leading actor has not been questioned much, but Nicole, who seems to have appeared out of nowhere, has become the target of the media. With the announcement of the starring information, Nicole's personal information was picked up by the powerful paparazzi in just a few days.
Australian actress, has won acting awards, debuted at the age of sixteen, has no acting experience in Hollywood...
When the information was revealed, the girl quickly became the focus of a wave of controversy. The fact that Hollywood looks down on foreign actors seems to have spread to the media as well. Therefore, apart from the promotional articles arranged by uta for the girl, Nicole basically did not receive a few words of approval, almost one-sided criticism. Most of the media felt that Nicole was not worthy of being the heroine of Eric's new film. From the title of "Sleepless in Seattle", the media also guessed that Eric is likely to return to a romantic comedy like "Pretty Woman". As a result, the Hollywood media ignored Nicole's current image, and instead took pleasure in picking up Nicole's rustic image in those Australian movies and TV shows, criticizing the girl as useless.
Of course, this kind of criticism will also be counterattacked. The Australian media is the most fierce. Although Eric only has a few works and has not risen for a long time, he has accumulated a very large reputation in Australia, no less than Those big directors who have been famous for many years, so the Australian media are proud of their actresses being able to participate in Eric's new film, and they also responded a lot to the American media's criticism of Nicole.
But Nicole, who was at the center of the turmoil, didn't feel any pressure at all. She understood that the more the media made a fuss, the more fame it would bring her.
On August 2nd, in a huge studio on Fox Studios, "Friends" started up silently.
Among the six leading actors, only Aniston is considered well-known. The other young people were previously unknown and small characters. The images of several leading actors in "Friends" are very similar. In addition, as newcomers, the pay of these actors is also very low, only five thousand dollars per episode. Eric originally wanted to secretly offer a higher price to Aniston. The salary information is kept confidential. As long as he doesn't tell the outside, he won't be known by the other members, and even if it is known by the other five people, the other party will definitely not What to say, Aniston is not only more famous than them, but also the daughter of the producer and the girlfriend of the director. They are really making fun of themselves by comparing themselves with Aniston.
But Eric's kind proposal was rejected by Xiao Niu justly, and instead received a newcomer salary of 5,000 US dollars per episode like everyone else. Eric couldn't hold back the little stubborn girl, so he had to take advantage of the opportunity to reveal the news, and it was no surprise that he received good results. Like in her previous life, Xiao Niu quickly got along with the other five leading actors and became real good friends. This result is very beneficial to the filming of "Friends". After all, if we become real friends in reality, there will definitely be a tacit understanding during the filming process.
"Everyone get ready, "Friends", Act 1, Scene 5, action!"
With the voice of the scene record, several leading actors began to chat in the Central Park coffee shop.
The scene is that Ross and his lesbian wife are divorced, and they appear in the coffee shop with an umbrella and a sad face. In the original version, Ross Geller, played by David Schummond, surprised many audiences when he appeared on the stage for the first time. It was just a simple word of "Hi", which made the audience remember this loosely dressed man instantly. A tall, thin figure in a coat.
