"Why, is there any problem?" Seeing Eric's surprised expression, Elizabeth leaned over to look at the cover, but found nothing special, so she asked again: "What's the matter?"
"That, it's nothing." Eric shook his head, opened the script directly, and quickly read it.
More than ten minutes later, after reading the script, Eric looked up and asked, "Where did you get this script?"
Of course Elizabeth would not tell Eric that Drew found the script, but just told Eric what Drew had said. Xiao Nizi repeatedly asked her and Julia to keep it a secret for herself, and wanted to secretly make some achievements and give Eric a big surprise in the future.
Eric shook his head emotionally when he heard how Elizabeth got the script 'accidentally'. If he knew that this script was bought by Xiao Nizi, he would definitely give this prodigal little bitch a good beating. How could such a good thing be distributed to others, and so much.
"You've finished watching it too, what do you think?" Elizabeth asked anxiously. Although she had already decided-∨, to make this movie, it was impossible not to want to get some affirmation from Eric.
Eric stroked the cover of the script, and for a moment he had the idea of at least sharing the script investment with Elizabeth. After all, this is not only a blockbuster movie, but also one of the rare ones that won the four most important Oscars. Excellent movie. But as soon as this thought surfaced, he secretly suppressed it. He didn't think it was necessary to take all the good things in this world. Do not give way to others. In the end, it will only lead to nowhere to go. What's more, the little girl in front of him has just had a super friendly relationship with him.
After thinking about this, Eric said in a relaxed tone: "The story is not too distinctive, but making it into a movie will definitely give people a different feeling. So I think the selection of actors for this movie is very important. You have Has the hero and heroine been chosen yet?"
"I planned to let Julia play Clarice Starling, and she agreed. There are no other candidates. Anyway, this is my debut as a producer. It's good to take things slowly. I Not urgent."
Eric shook his head immediately: "No, Julia is not suitable to play Clarice. Clarice is a very complicated character, and Julia's acting skills can't reach that level."
"Then who do you think is suitable?" the girl asked tentatively.
Eric blurted out: "Jodie Foster."
"Ah... what a coincidence, I just heard that the screenwriter who adapted this script also suggested Jodie Foster to play Clarice." Elizabeth sighed in surprise, and then said in a tone that she thought was very professional: "But , Eric, this is just a horror movie. What audiences want when watching horror movies is heartbeat and excitement. So I don’t think there is any need for a heroine to be too good at acting. Horror movies don’t expect to hit Oscars. I haven’t heard of it yet. How many horror films have won Oscars."
"Not before, doesn't mean there won't be in the future," Eric said, "Of course, I'm just a suggestion, it's up to you whether you listen or not."
Since this film has nothing to do with him, Eric doesn't want to forcefully intervene. Hollywood history has been completely changed with his participation. Even if the classic "Silence of the Lambs" is missing, other greater ones may emerge Here comes the movie.
"Then I'll think about it when I go back." Hearing what Eric said, the girl nodded cautiously, and asked again: "Is there anything else
"Professor Hannibal, you can try Anthony Hopkins."
"Anthony Hopkins?" Elizabeth repeated the name Eric said, no wonder the girl had never heard of Anthony Hopkins, although the famous Hannibal professor from the 1960s He has already debuted, but in the parallel time and space, the other party did not reach the peak of his career until the success of "The Silence of the Lambs". At that time, Hopkins was already in his fifties. Before "The Silence of the Lambs", Hopkins Smith doesn't even have a masterpiece.
Eric didn't know how to explain to the girl why he knew this person, so he said vaguely: "This is an old drama in Hollywood. He has participated in many literary films, so his acting skills are absolutely fine. I also forgot it was in Have you seen him in any movie, the image of the other party fits Professor Hannibal very well, you can definitely find it if you ask someone a little."
"Well, let me write it down," the girl nodded, took out the address book in her satchel, and wrote down the name seriously.
Eric looked at the earnestness of the girl when she lowered her head and wrote, and said, "Jonathan Demme, you know? The script of "Small Island Cry" I wrote before was directed by him. That's right, and after "Home Alone", he will definitely gain a lot of fame, so let him direct "The Silence of the Lambs", but Jonah is still in Venice now, when he comes back, I will take you to meet him. "
The girl's writing hand paused for a moment, then raised her head, stared at Eric and said, "I don't need you to compensate me!"
Eric was taken aback, then understood something, and smiled: "You are too sensitive, I didn't intend to compensate you, you can treat this as... a deal, Jonathan Demi has signed a contract with uta , so his director's salary uta also has to take a cut, and I happen to be the major shareholder of uta."
Elizabeth pursed her lips, and then said, "Then I'll go and talk to Jonathan Demi myself. You don't need to intervene, let alone any preferential treatment. I will pay him as much as I want."
Eric shrugged: "Okay, whatever you want."
After discussing this matter, Elizabeth put the script into her satchel, then raised her head and asked, "Then is there anything I can do now?"
Eric collected some documents on the desk, handed several documents to the girl and said, "Take these things out and crush them with a shredder before throwing them away. Also, the top one is "Sleepless in Seattle" "You can familiarize yourself with the filming schedule first, so as not to lose your eyesight when filming starts, there is a desk in the lounge outside, you can stay there, and I will call you if there is anything to do."
"Well," the girl nodded, satisfied with Eric's attitude of finally letting her do something serious, she stood up holding a few documents and was about to leave when she suddenly stopped and asked, "Eric, do you seem There is only Alan as an assistant, no female secretary or anything?"
"Because I rarely stayed in the company before, so I don't need to. However, after this year, the company will definitely need me to handle more things personally, so I will definitely find a beautiful vase to deal with clutter," said At this point, Eric winked at the girl ambiguously: "Why, do you have anyone to recommend, or do you want to recommend yourself?"
"Hmph, you can't afford me, girl, and I'm not a vase!" the girl said arrogantly, then turned and walked out. (It’s a great event to drop pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!
