After Eric and Murdoch met on Sunset Boulevard, although Murdoch performed in public, Eric was not unprepared. information.
Therefore, in the early morning of the next day, many specious news appeared in many newspapers. For a while, Fox will continue to distribute all the films directed by Eric in the next three years; To ensure that the two parties can cooperate more in-depth and long-term; or that Fox will cooperate with Firefly to produce the special effects blockbuster "Jurassic Park". There was a huge stir in Hollywood circles.
Undoubtedly, many people in the Hollywood circle who have some knowledge of the inside story of the previous turmoil realized that Fox had completely 'betrayed' the alliance of the seven major film companies and turned to Firefly.
After this turmoil, there is no doubt that Fox will be the biggest beneficiary except for the safe and sound Firefly.
Next, although Fox worked hard to make clarifications, it has repeatedly stated that Fox has not reached much cooperation with Firefly. Facts have proved that Fox and Firefly have reached certain cooperation agreements.
Under such circumstances, the alliance of several other major film companies that had already no longer had any expectations for this action to suppress Firefly quickly disintegrated. . Looking forward to reaching some cooperation with Eric. after all. For the entire year of last year, the total box office in North America for the whole year broke through the US$5 billion mark, and a series of films related to Eric accounted for nearly one-fifth of the total box office. Therefore, no one will doubt that Eric's strength in movies, since suppression is fruitless, then. Win-win cooperation is undoubtedly the best way.
"Robert, the selling point of this movie is not purely erotic scenes. Pure sex can only bring people a simple and short-lived impulse. However, when sex is combined with bloody violence , human desires will become extremely strong. This is the biggest selling point of the script "Instinct". You should have read the script, if the bed scene at the beginning of the script is just a bed scene If it is, the audience may only whistle and let out a booing exclamation, but when the originally passionate sex suddenly turns into a blood-splashing massacre, the audience's adrenaline will be quickly stimulated, and they will not know it. Feeling. Being sucked into the story."
In the small conference room of Firefly, Eric was introducing the script of "Basic Instinct" to Robert Shea. Originally, Eric took out the script, and Robert Shea expressed strong interest. However, when Eric then When he stated that he would not sign the script, Robert Shea became suspicious again. Although Robert Shea has read the script, he also understands that Eric did not sign the script for his own public image. After all, after the script "Basic Instinct" is made into a movie, it will definitely attract many people. dispute.
However, this reason does not completely reassure Robert Shea. During the negotiation process with Eric last year, he managed to win the quota for independently operating two large-scale production films this year. Then it will be difficult for him to ask to lead a big-budget movie in the future, so he can only obediently be responsible for the distribution of the movie.
Therefore, although the script of "Basic Instinct" was written by Eric himself, when Eric expressed his unwillingness to have anything to do with this movie, Robert Shea had concerns. The response to that turmoil, and the methods recently dismantling the alliance of the seven major film companies, Robert Shea would not at all regard Eric as a young man under the age of twenty, so he did not dare to completely Take over Eric's script with confidence, maybe this is a trick Eric set for himself. If the film is produced and hits the market, it is hard for him to imagine that Eric will not blame him. After all, all the scripts that Eric has produced so far have sold well.
After thinking for a while, Robert Shea found another reason and said: "Eric, I think that after this movie is produced, it will definitely encounter a lot of trouble in terms of grading. You just said that this movie The production cost of the film is more than 20 million US dollars. If we are classified as nc-17, then we will definitely lose everything. We have just faced off with the seven major film companies for a while, so there is no guarantee that they will not get stuck in our necks in this regard, after all , everyone knows that the Film Classification Committee is controlled by the Big Seven."
Eric listened to Robert Shea's insincere words, and understood what the other party was worried about. He sighed in his heart and didn't intend to persuade him any more.
Since Robert is unwilling, then let Jeffrey handle the movie, so that he can also intervene without any scruples to prevent the movie from having too much deviation from his previous life.
Just about to speak, the mobile phone on Eric's right hand rang suddenly, and the ringtone was extremely harsh in the conference room where there were only the two of them.
Robert Shea didn't show any displeasure, he gestured to Eric, and picked up the coffee in front of him.
Eric hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to grab the mobile phone, and at the same time prayed secretly, it must not be a 'debt collector'.
That night, by mistake, Eric put Elizabeth and Julia on the same bed to have fun. Although it was very exciting at the time, Eric had to run away again early in the morning. Otherwise, if the two women wake up early in the morning and find out about this matter, it is impossible to guarantee that they will not do something tragic when they are excited. And he left secretly in advance, which can also give the two women a buffer time to calm down a little.
But things were beyond Eric's expectations. He originally thought that Elizabeth and Julia would come to him that day to 'excuse him', but three days had passed, and there was no movement from Elizabeth and Julia. Not only did Eric not feel relieved, but he became even more uneasy.
After gesturing to Robert Shea, Eric walked out of the small conference room with the phone in his hand, and only connected to the phone at the end of the corridor. (To be continued..)
