Seeing Eric keep shaking his head, Michael Klaus finally played a rogue: "Eric, you can write anything you want, you can't let me go for nothing, can you? After being so busy with Luo Ji Park, even my wife began to complain that I was only focusing on work, and you wanted to advance the royalties for making a movie, so I gave you 200,000 so readily. Don’t you feel a little moved Is it?"
A short and stocky middle-aged man played the emotional card in front of him with his eyes wide open. Eric couldn't help feeling cold, thought for a while and said: "Well, Michael, there is a good theme, and it's also science fiction. But it’s just a rough idea, and there’s no specific outline. The story is inspired by George Romero’s The Living Dead series of movies, about a bio-company researching a leak of a virus that causes humans to be infected into the living dead…”
Eric roughly told the story of "Resident Evil". He had watched the "Resident Evil" series of movies in his previous life. Although he didn't like it very much, he still completely recounted the story because of the abnormal memory bank after rebirth. out.
In the previous life, the "Resident Evil" series was regarded as the most profitable game-adapted movie*. The cost was not high, but the total box office of the series reached more than one billion US dollars. Since Michael Klaus insisted on asking him to write something, let’s take this pit first. Although Eric was not a cynic in his previous life, he took advantage of the Japanese. This kind of happy thing is still very fulfilling to do. of.
Michael Klaus was a little dissatisfied: "Is this story too niche, Eric, there are indeed many people who like zombie culture, but the audience is still too small, how about another one?"
Eric shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, looking like you want it or not. Michael Krause had no choice but to agree: "Okay, write the story as soon as possible, with your current reputation , and don’t worry about sales. By the way, you can add some adult elements in it, and it must be popular. Anyway, you are an adult now, and no one will blame you... "
While chattering about his suggestions, Michael Klaus suddenly noticed the unnatural expression on Eric's face, turned around subconsciously, and found Aniston standing behind him with his hips akimbo and his mouth slightly curled up. You keep talking.
"Well, Eric, I suddenly remembered that there are still some things to do, so that's it, goodbye." I was caught in the middle of encouraging my boyfriend to write adult novels, Michael picked up his bag in embarrassment and was about to run away , After opening the door, I still couldn't help but turned around and asked: "Be sure to write it out as soon as possible."
After Michael Cross left, Aniston asked, "Eric, you're not really going to write what that guy said?"
Eric smiled and embraced Aniston, stroking Aniston's slender waist due to the weight loss of more than two months, and said: "Of course not, I am now advertised by Columbia and Fox as the National Teenager. A role model, how could it be possible for a little profit to damage your glorious image."
"Hehe, you are still a role model, you are a big pervert, ah, don't."
After struggling a few times, Aniston was pushed down on the sofa by Eric again.
…
After a period of publicity for "Home Alone" and "Return to Seventeen", another critical moment finally ushered in the film preview.
On November 11th, the two films held preview screenings for film critics at the same time. There was no Internet hype in this era, and the publicity of the films was mainly through newspapers.
Therefore, film critics are a hurdle that cannot be bypassed in the process of film promotion. Of course, after watching a film, the film critics who participated in the test screening will generally not make too sharp comments on the film as long as the quality of the film is not too bad to look at. After all, film critics need films, but films do not necessarily need film critics. Too much can only make the film company block itself.
On the second day after the test screening, the audience's long-awaited comments on "Home Alone" and "Return to Seventeen" appeared in major newspapers and magazines.
""Home Alone" has created a brand-new pure comedy narrative mode, full of innocence and growing-up jokes and warmth, the conflict between the eccentric protagonist and two stupid thieves is suitable for all ages, I have to say, Stewart The performance of the seven-year-old actor Lankel in the film can be described as amazing, and the Marvin played by Matthew Perry, who is also a newcomer, is also remarkable. Show up, and you can't help but laugh out loud..." -Los Angeles Times
"The talented director and the talented young actors have presented a Christmas feast for the audience to laugh till the end. I advise all the audience not to eat popcorn when watching the movie, otherwise the audience in front of you may laugh in their necks... ”—Chicago Tribune
""Back to Seventeen" is a transformation of Drew Barrymore. In the film, Drew completely got rid of the image of a cute little girl in "et" and played a rebellious daughter who is about to graduate from high school. In the film, Drew The acting skills shown by several emotional outbursts are amazing. The performances of the two superstars Dan Aykroyd and Susan Sarandon are still excellent. I have to say that Eric Williams, who is the screenwriter and starring Si, the performance in the film is not like a rookie who has no acting experience at all. He did not lose the wind in the process of playing with Drew Barrymore, and he is also the director of "Home Alone" released at the same time. I have to say , this is a God-kissed genius, otherwise there is no explanation why Eric Williams is so good... ”—Empire Magazine
"Many people are always complaining about the unsatisfactory reality. After watching "Return to Seventeen", you will find that you are not unhappy, but that you are completely enveloped by various negative emotions, isolating you. The happiness we have. But only the protagonist in the film is lucky enough to get out of his original skin and look at himself from another perspective..." - "Washington Post"
There are many newspapers that praised the two films, and some criticisms are inevitable. After all, no matter how powerful the two major media groups are, it is impossible to control all public opinion, not to mention that the other four major film companies will definitely not let Columbia and Fox too much. Have a good time.
The "Chicago Sun" directly criticized "Home Alone" as a nonsense work completely divorced from reality. wrong boot.
Another "Los Angeles Times" put forward a more pointed point of view. The newspaper made a big fuss about the scene of Kevin holding a toy gun in the movie "Home Alone" and called on the censors to re-examine the film's rating. This piece of news even attracted the attention of a TV station in Los Angeles. Eric was also a little worried when he learned about it. In his impression, although guns are rampant in the United States, the control of minors with guns in film and television works is very strict. strict.
Anxiously called Lester Reed, the director of "Home Alone", to inquire about this matter, Lester reassured him indifferently, and revealed a little hidden inside story.
The owner of "Los Angeles Times" is a shareholder of Universal Pictures. Universal Pictures has an animation "Little Feet Walking the World" that will be released on November 18. As a competitor for children like "Home Alone", it has made This kind of thing is normal, and Colombia will respond accordingly to this behavior.
Putting down the phone, Eric sighed and fell into intrigue so quickly. At the same time, this episode also gave him a sense of crisis. Now compared to those film tycoons, he is just an inconspicuous little shrimp, and has no threat to them. However, once "Home Alone" is released and achieves great success like it did in the previous life, his existence will definitely cause those who The vigilance of the giants, especially Colombia, which is about to be severely pitted.
If at that time, he does not have enough strength and does not want to give up most of the benefits, then what awaits him may be the suppression that the giants spare no effort.
Tom Cruise in the previous life is an example. As the movies starring Tom Cruise are selling well, the power and profit sharing he demands are getting higher and higher. Finally, Tom Cruise filmed a movie When the movie made more money than its owner, Paramount Pictures, Summer Redstone, the owner of Paramount, directly publicly broke his face with Tom Cruise in the newspaper, and at the same time, Viacom's media Tom Cruise's years-long smearing directly brought Tom Cruise's career to the bottom.
"Hey, my dear, what are you thinking, looking sad?" Noticing that Eric had been standing beside the phone in a daze after finishing the call, Aniston gently tugged at Eric's shirt.
"Oh, nothing."
Although Eric always looks confident, Aniston still feels that he is worried about the box office of the two films. After all, Eric only has the car left by his father, and everything else that can be mortgaged has been mortgaged. Once he loses the bet in "Home Alone", Eric will go bankrupt directly.
She hugged her boyfriend's waist from behind and put her face on Eric's back. Aniston said softly: "Honey, just talk to me if you have anything on your mind. Although I can't help you much, I can still do it." A good listener."
"I just suddenly felt..." Eric turned around, hugged Aniston tightly in his arms and said, "The road ahead may be difficult, Annie, will you walk with me forever?"
"Of course, I will." Aniston didn't understand the deep meaning in Eric's words, but still decisively chose an affirmative answer.
"Thank you, Annie, then, are you really not going to New York with me? I'll discuss it with James, it's just a matter of a plane ticket."
The release dates of "Home Alone" and "Return to Seventeen" are getting closer, and the two crews will also go to New York on the East Coast for promotion. Supporting roles, Aniston is not among the actors involved in the promotion.
Not wanting her boyfriend to worry about such a trivial matter, Aniston shook her head and said, "No need, I've lived in New York for many years, and there's nothing new about it."
The two lingered for a while, Aniston pushed Eric away, and turned to help Eric pack his travel luggage.
