A quick glance at the detailed information below shows that Stan Winston Studio was established in 1972, and so far has successively undertaken the production of special effects for many films, including the famous "Terminator" and "Alien". It won an Oscar for Best Visual Effects in 1986.
After searching in his mind, Eric also found a lot of other information. In his previous life, the digital field film special effects company that stood side by side with Industrial Light & Magic and Weta Digital was founded by Stan Winston and James Cameron. This studio is even ahead of Industrial Light & Magic in terms of cg technology for some movies.
However, the digital field is not like Industrial Light and Magic, which has a strong technical accumulation and a steady stream of projects, nor is it like Weta Digital, because New Zealand, located in the southern hemisphere, is the only one that enjoys various political policies丨In addition, the signature character James Cameron and the founder John Texter have left one after another, Stan Winston died of illness, and finally the group has no leader, and it has fallen to the point of bankruptcy.
However, there is no doubt that Stan Winston's ability to develop the digital field to the point where it is comparable to Industrial Light and Magic is beyond doubt. Therefore, Eric quickly set his goal.
"Alan, please contact me, Mr. Stan Winston," Eric took out the information of Stan Winston's studio and handed it to Alan, saying: "As soon as possible, "Human Ghost Love" The schedule for "Unfinished" is very tight, the New York side has already completed the preparations, and I only need the heroine here, the most important thing now is to solve the special effects."
Allen took the information and looked at it. nod nod. However, I still couldn't help persuading: "Eric, I think if the special effects are handed over to Industrial Light and Magic, the film will definitely be completed on schedule. But if we do it ourselves, it will be difficult to determine the effect and time."
Eric was silent for a while, and then said: "People have to learn to walk by themselves, please contact Stan Winston as soon as possible."
"Okay, I understand," Allen nodded and was about to go out. There was a knock on the office door, and after getting permission, the female secretary poked her head in and said, "Mr. Williams, Mr. Lester and Miss Connery are here."
"Let them come in," Eric said, and Allen just heard Eric answering the call at the front desk, and turned around and left very interestingly.
Jim Lester and Jennifer Connelly walked in one after another.
"Mr. Williams, hello," Jim Lester reached out and shook hands with Eric who turned out from behind the desk.
"Hello, Jim." Eric smiled and let go of the opponent's hand, then looked at Jennifer Connelly. The girl lowered her head slightly awkwardly, but quickly raised it again, trying to look directly at Eric, trying to show a generous smile, but her expression was a little uncomfortable no matter what.
"Jenny, long time no see," Eric said gently.
"Yes... yes," the girl nodded, as if she felt that this answer was inappropriate, and wanted to say something more, but Eric pointed to the sofa in the rest area: "Let's go there and talk."
The three sat down on the sofa, and the secretary served coffee for the three and left quickly.
Eric didn't speak in a hurry, and sat on the sofa opposite the two, looking at the girl in front of him unabashedly.
Jennifer Connelly and Eric looked at each other for a moment, and quickly moved away in a panic. The aggressiveness in the man's eyes was almost the same as it was a year ago.
"What have you been up to this year, Jenny?" Eric asked after a while.
"I..." The girl hesitated for a while, not knowing what to say.
Could it be that he auditioned everywhere, bumped into walls everywhere, or was snubbed by the agent
Jim Lester is here now, and even if the agent is not there, she can't say that. After all, it has been a year since the incident, and she also understands that there is nothing wrong with the agent's actions.
Seeing the girl's distressed expression, Jim Lester took the initiative to save the siege: "Mr. Williams, Jane has been studying at Stanford University for most of the year, you know, she is still young, learn more things Always right."
Eric nodded noncommittally, looked at the girl, and asked, "Is that so?"
Jennifer Connelly bit her lower lip and said softly, "Well, yes."
Eric continued: "By the way, last night me and that... sorry, I forgot the name of the other person, it seems to be Brandt..."
"Tony Brandt," Jim Lester reminded graciously.
Eric nodded: "Well, it's Tony Brandt. I had some conflicts with that gentleman and messed up your heroine's affairs."
The girl didn't respond, but Jim Lester gave a soft ah in surprise, he didn't know about it yet.
However, thinking about the tone of the other party when he called Tony Brandt in the morning, Jim Lester quickly understood something. There was just a feeling of complaint in his heart, but he immediately reacted.
It's just the heroine of a low-budget work, if you lose it, you will lose it. As long as you can hug the thigh of the great god in front of you, are you afraid that there will be no role
"It's okay, Mr. Williams. In fact, that movie is not suitable for Jane. If you don't act in it, don't act in it."
Eric looked at the girl, and Jennifer Connelly forced a smile, but said nothing.
"You should know that I'm planning to make a movie recently. I happened to confirm the male lead last night. The preparations in New York have also been completed. As long as I can find the female lead, the filming can start."
When these words came out, even Jennifer Connelly, who had always been pretending to be reserved, couldn't help but brighten her eyes, and Jim Lester's eyes even flashed with ecstasy.
But Eric went on to say: "It's just a pity that the heroine in that movie is not suitable for Jane."
After finishing speaking, Eric picked up the coffee slowly, looked at the changes in the expressions of the two people opposite, and flirted a little, the expressions of the two were really interesting.
Even realizing Eric did it on purpose. Jim Lester didn't dare to show any displeasure. But the regret on his face was evident.
And Jennifer Connelly grabbed the corner of her skirt tightly. She was still wearing the dress she wore at the party last night. Because of Eric's words, the girl was disappointed and her breathing inevitably became a little short of breath. The pair of plump soft things under the tube top dress also slightly rose and fell with her chest Shaking, looks very seductive.
Jim Lester thought for a while, and still asked a little unwillingly: "Mr. Williams, maybe. You can let Jenny audition and perform to see the effect. She played in last year's "Death of the Swan" The acting in it was pretty good."
Eric shook his head: "If it's just a question of acting skills, then it's not a problem at all. The key is the image. What I need in that movie is the image of a little woman at home, but Jenny's temperament is too cold and glamorous. Suitable."
"That's a pity," Jim Lester shook his head and sighed.
Eric took a sip of his coffee. Leisurely said: "But it's nothing, Hollywood shoots hundreds of movies every year. Even the seven major film companies have a total of hundreds of movies every year. Finding a movie that suits Jane is a breeze."
Jennifer Connelly is still a little confused. Eric was besieged some time ago. It is well known. Although no evidence has been disclosed, it is well known that the Big Seven must be behind that incident. Now Eric should It's right to have a very stiff fight with Qi Da, what's the use of talking about it
But Jim Lester is more thorough than Jennifer Connelly. Since Eric has successfully survived the storm, it means that no matter whether the seven major film companies are willing or not, Firefly Hollywood's status has been determined. Under such circumstances, with Eric's current status in Hollywood, it is a breeze to ask the Big Seven for a leading actress. I believe that any one of the Big Seven is willing to sell Eric has such a face.
"Mr. Williams, is it true what you say?"
Eric nodded: "Of course, but it will take some time. I have to ask someone to find it first, and I need Jenny's cooperation..."
"Don't worry, Jane will definitely cooperate with you this time," before Eric finished speaking, the agent blurted out without thinking.
The atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward, not to mention the girl's face became blushing, Eric himself felt his old face was hot, can this f*ck talk, so direct!
"Ahem, Jim, I mean, Janey needs to spare time to cooperate with some auditions. After all, I can help lobby only if I pass the audition. If the role is not suitable for Janey at all, then even if I get it, the future It will only have a negative impact on Jenny's career." Although he felt that it was useless to save her, Eric still added what he had just said.
"I understand, I understand," Jim Lester said flatteringly.
Amidst the embarrassment, there was a knock on the door, and Allen poked his head in, showing a sorry look: "Mr. Williams, there is something urgent."
"Wait a minute," Eric said quickly, and then left the office.
"It's like this, Mr. Williams. I just called Mr. Stan Winston. After explaining my intentions, the other party readily agreed. Moreover, the time is set at 11:30 noon today, yes. Well, Mr. Stan Winston still hopes to bring a friend with him, so I think it's better to let you know as soon as possible."
friend
Eric raised his eyebrows, and soon thought of a certain figure, Stan Winston's best friend, without a doubt, it must be Cameron.
"No problem, is the phone still online now, and I can talk to him in person?"
"It's already hung up," Allen said regretfully, "However, if you agree, it's already 10:30, and the location is about to be at the Krall Restaurant in Beverly Hills. I think you should... ahem, pay attention to the time."
Eric looked at his watch, glanced at his office, and nodded: "Don't worry, I understand."
"Then I'll get to work," the assistant said quickly.
"Sorry, two, something happened," Eric returned to the office and said to Jim Lester and Jennifer Connelly, "I'm afraid we can't talk too much."
"It's okay, Mr. Williams. Maybe we can make an appointment to have a meal together. How about tonight?"
"Sorry, I have plans tonight," Eric said, thinking of the figure of a tall slender girl, since he has made up his mind to hold Famke Jansen in his hands, of course he has to go on a few more dates while the iron is hot To increase feelings, material things are necessary, but feelings are also essential.
After thinking about it, Eric said to Jennifer Connelly: "By the way, Jenny, I'm going on a date later, would you like to be my female companion?"
The girl hesitated when she heard Eric's words.
Jim Lester almost wanted to agree for the girl, but at this time, he still felt that it was better to let the girl make her own decision.
"It's just an ordinary lunch," Eric added. "The other party is a well-known special effects artist in Hollywood, and there may be a director. After lunch, I will send you back."
"Then... well," Jennifer Connelly nodded quickly when she heard Eric say that.
Eric smiled, and looked at the dress on the girl: "Actually, your dress is just right, um, very beautiful."
"Thank you," the girl whispered.
"In that case, I'll leave first," Jim Lester felt relieved after the girl agreed to come down, and quickly got up to leave.
Eric sent the other party out of the door, and then returned to the office again. The two of them were left in the room, and the girl suddenly became more cramped.
"Wait a minute, I'll change clothes," Eric said to the girl lightly, and walked towards the small room next to the office.
…
"Stan, what do you think will happen to that little guy looking for you?" In Beverly Hills' Klar restaurant, two big men were sitting in a corner, and the short-haired man said to the middle-aged man with a big beard. .
"I heard he's going to use special effects in his next movie. With that young man's ambition, James, what do you think?"
James Cameron froze for a moment, and quickly said, "You mean, he wants to buy your studio?"
"Obviously," Stan Winston said without changing his smile.
"I see that you look very interested," James Cameron thought for a while and laughed.
"That's a billionaire, very rich. Last year he bought the animation studio of Steve Jobs. It is said that tens of millions have been invested in it, and no penny has been produced, but the investment is still eye-catching. Without blinking, such a generous young man, of course I am very interested. You know, special effects are very expensive, and you can experiment with more interesting things if you have money. And, this is what I brought you Reason, didn’t you always want to make Terminator 2, this is a great opportunity.”
James Cameron also showed excitement immediately, but soon shook his head in disappointment: "That young man has never made a super-high-cost movie. I remember the movie "Dark War" that he invested the most in. In the end, it only cost more than 30 million yuan, and it was paid by Columbia. Although I pressed the budget of "Terminator 2" again and again, and only reported a budget of 70 million yuan, none of the top seven is willing to take over. , I think the other party will definitely not take this risk."
"Anyway, you can't find an investor now," Stan Winston patted his friend on the shoulder: "So, it's better to try than wait now." (To be continued...)
