After changing planes in London and after more than two hours of flying, Eric and Eric finally arrived at Marco Polo Airport in Venice.
Not only Jonathan Demme and Virginia, but also a middle-aged man named Bill Gallote and two assistants came to pick him up. After the introduction, Eric knew that Bill Gallo Especially the manager of Disney's European branch, because Disney got the distribution rights of "Small Cry", the other party was sent to assist Jonathan Demme in promoting and publicizing the film.
After exchanging pleasantries, Eric and his party took their luggage and boarded a yacht. Instead of going to the main island of Venice, they went directly to Lido Island and stayed in a boutique hotel. This hotel is also very interesting to say the least. It is said that the reason why the Venice Film Festival was born was to solve the problem of the source of tourists for boutique hotels in autumn. Now, however, the boutique hotel has become a status symbol during the Venice Film Festival, reserved only for film crews entering the main competition and by special invitation.
As one of the heavyweight guests of this film festival, Eric certainly has the right to stay, and his room is still a luxury suite with a view of the sea.
"Bed, bed!" After Jonathan, Bill and others left, Eric let out a long sigh, and threw himself on the big bed ▲￠ in the bedroom, and rolled a few times vigorously.
Virginia, who was carefully packing Eric's luggage, smiled slightly: "Is it tiring to fly?"
"It's not that I'm tired, but I feel too bad, and I encountered a draft on the Atlantic Ocean." Eric kicked off his leather shoes, leaned comfortably on the big bed, and turned his head to look at the girl who hung his clothes in the closet.
Virginia was wearing a sleeveless white blouse with lace. The lower body is tight white trousers. look sideways. This dress perfectly set off the girl's perfect curves, which made Eric move his index finger.
Eric couldn't help but jumped out of bed, came to Virginia and stuck to the girl's body, wrapped his hands around the girl's slender waist, stroked the exposed skin between the shirt and trousers, and at the same time probed over the girl The crystal earlobe wearing a ruby earring kissed the fair cheek on the right side of the girl.
The girl felt Eric's sudden intimate movement, her delicate body trembled, and a coat in her hand fell directly to the ground. The little hand pressed Eric's moving arm around his waist, and his voice was a little hoarse with emotion: "Eric, don't do this, they... They are waiting for us in the restaurant below."
Eric grabbed the girl's red lips and sucked them before softly saying, "Come to my room at night."
"This... can't be done," the girl gasped and refused, feeling Eric's high spirits on her buttocks: "It's not good if someone sees it, wait until you go back to Los Angeles, and then... again... okay?"
"Okay," Eric said just suddenly. I soon realized that the hotel was full of film crews from all over the world, as well as the judges of the film festival. Being caught having a private meeting with Virginia would indeed have unpredictable effects, he raised his hand unwillingly and rubbed the girl's breasts a few times, and said, "You look really good in this dress."
The girl turned around and raised her small face to kiss Ai Rui on the cheek, and said with a smile, "Then I will often wear it for you to see in the future."
"Actually," Eric approached the girl's ear mysteriously, and said in a low voice, "You look better without clothes."
Virginia thought that Eric was going to say something important, but she still teased herself, rolled her eyes, and tapped Eric on the shoulder: "Little villain."
Eric laughed and slapped the girl's buttocks, picked up the coat that the girl had just dropped on the floor: "Let me help you clean it up, don't make them wait."
…
"Eric, this is the information on John Landis. You'd better take a look at it before we meet at night," said Eric, Jonathan and others gathered around a table in the restaurant of the hotel. Bill from Disney . Garrett handed him a document.
Eric had already had a general understanding of John Landis's resume before, but he knew that the information given by Disney must be more detailed, so he took it and opened it in front of everyone, and asked casually: "About "" What is the general situation of "Small Island Cry"?"
Jonathan Demme and Bill Garrott looked at each other, and finally Bill Garrott said: "We have made sufficient preparations and have contacted several judges of this session, although we have not received any promises. , but several judges have a good impression of "Small Island". At the same time, they also contacted some local media, and they will cooperate with public opinion after the film festival starts."
"Well," Eric nodded with satisfaction. In fact, for a film festival like Venice, it is enough for the public relations to do this. After thinking about it, Eric asked immediately: "What about the awards?"
Bill Garrett said: "The Golden Lion Award is definitely hopeless. "City of Sadness" is almost equal to the default. We are more hopeful for the Silver Lion Award and the best screenplay."
After Bill finished speaking, Jonathan Demme and a few others looked at Eric in unison. He was going to meet John Landis, one of the judges of this session tonight, and he would definitely talk about this issue. John Landis has been contacted by Disney before, and he has actually agreed to help "Small Island Cry". After all, he is an American, and he is not the kind of old stubborn who insists on art. John Landis has always been A director of commercial films. As for the agreement of this meeting, Eric doesn't know who proposed it first, maybe John Landis is interested in him, or maybe it's Jonathan Demme or Bill Garrett. out of fire. But since it was good for "Small Island", Eric didn't get to the bottom of it, and readily agreed.
And Eric's choice in the meeting means that John Landis will fight for the direction of "Small Island" during the awards, and, with the theme of "Small Island", even with the addition of anti-crime The jury will definitely only give it one award at most, so the two can only win one.
From the bottom of his heart, Eric hopes to get his own best screenwriter. However, for the sake of the box office of the film, he must focus on the relatively more influential Silver Lion Award.
"Don't worry, I know what to do," Eric said, looking at a few people looking forward to him. (To be continued..)
