With a lot of doubts on his forehead, Eric returned to the hotel where he stayed after cleaning up the beginning and end of the set, and found that the first floor of the crew was deserted, and the original lively scene after the crew finished work completely disappeared.
As soon as he opened the door and walked into his room, a pink figure floated over him coquettishly, wrapping around Eric like a koala and dawdling and kissing routinely.
"Okay, okay, Drew, why did you come to New York?" Eric pulled Drew off his body and looked at it. The girl was wearing a pink knee-length skirt, and the original bun turned into a shawl Wavy curls, it seems that the hair has been extended, and a bunch of slanted bangs on the forehead set off the baby's face with a different sexy atmosphere.
"I'm here to visit the class," Drew said with a smile, and pulled Eric to his side to sit down, and the whole person sat on Eric's lap again.
Eric looked at the girl's eyes rolling a few times, and soon realized that what happened today had something to do with Xiao Nizi.
After slapping the girl's little butt, Eric said, "Okay, tell me the truth, what are you planning?"
"Hee hee, I won't tell you," Drew said shamelessly with his little hands on Eric's chest. Eric directly scratched the girl's creaking nest, and the little girl squeaked and twisted. After moving, Eric Rick just let her go.
"Say it?" Eric made a gesture to continue grabbing.
"Okay, okay, you'll know later," Drew said, stood up buoyantly, took a few deep breaths, and then took out an eye mask that he had prepared earlier from the coffee table: "Hey, put it on first. Come on. I'll take you somewhere."
Eric took it over and played with it twice. He raised his head and smiled, "What if I don't want to?"
"Then I'll... cry for you." Xiao Nizi immediately threatened.
"This scene is not common, come on and cry," Eric said immediately 'interestedly'.
Drew wrinkled his baby face, twitched his little nose a few times, but didn't squeeze out a single tear, then let out a cry, and threw himself into Eric's arms. Like a little wild cat, it quickly scratched Eric's body: "Take it, take it, take it..."
"Okay, don't scratch it, I'll just take it with me," Eric said helplessly, but he also became curious in his heart, wanting to see what tricks the girl will make today.
Putting on the blindfold, Drew immediately pulled Eric up and walked out.
Eric only felt that he had entered the elevator. Then he was pulled into a car, and then he heard the sound of the car starting.
"Hey. Say it first, don't play too much, or I will get angry."
"Am I that kind of person?" The girl retorted dissatisfiedly.
"do not you?"
"snort."
The speed of the car was not fast, and Eric was not in a hurry. He leaned against the back of the seat with a blindfold on, just to close his eyes and rest for a while. I don't know how long it took, but Eric felt that the car was still driving and didn't stop at all. Meaning, and Eric is already a little drowsy.
"How long will it take?" Eric couldn't help asking.
"Don't worry," the girl looked at the pager she had been holding in her hand. In fact, the car had been circling on the streets of Manhattan to delay time, but Eric didn't know it.
Eric didn't speak any more, and leaned back in the chair again.
The pager in his hand finally beeped. Drew made a gesture to the driver, and the car speeded up a little. It only took more than ten minutes to arrive at the destination.
Pulling Eric all the way out of the underground parking lot and onto the direct elevator, a few minutes later, the girl pushed open a door, leaned into Eric's ear and whispered 'surprise', and then quickly tore Eric off. blindfold.
The sound of bang bang salute and flying ribbons rushed towards our faces. The people in the hall had obviously rehearsed and spoke in unison.
"Happy birthday!"
"Wow," Eric sighed a little at a loss. Hearing this sentence, he finally remembered that today is May 16, the birthday of the original owner of his body. Too concerned about birthdays, let alone now, coupled with the busy feet these days, Eric can't think about it even more.
Familiar faces came here. In addition to the crew members these days, basically all the actors and directors who have worked with him this year have also come. Executives from Firefly and Pixar also appeared here. Eric I also saw Stan Winston who should be in Los Angeles, and James Cameron who was supposed to be preparing for "Terminator 2".
Obviously, in order to help him prepare for this birthday party, Drew must have spent a lot of thought, and it is not so easy to just keep it from himself.
After huddling together and frolicking for a while, the crowd slowly dispersed.
"Hey, Jonah, how's the post-production of 'The Silence of the Lambs' going... very good, my movie? Of course, it's closing soon."
"Wow, I didn't expect you to come too, Tom, what film did you accept recently... Of course, what I said still counts."
"Hello, Julia... Hey, Liz, it's my birthday, can't you be like an old hen."
"Robert, how's Sleeping With The Enemy going... well, I'll check it out when I'm done with Ghosts... You should trust Julia, she's got enough box office appeal right now .”
"..."
"..."
After making a big circle and greeting the guests one by one, Eric finally had a short rest. He found a sofa in the corner and sat down. Eric took a glass of juice.
At this time, James Cameron, who had greeted him not long ago, walked over again with his wife Catherine Bigelow on his arm.
"Hi, Jim, and Ms. Bigelow," Eric straightened up, and James Cameron and Catherine Bigelow sat down next to Eric.
Looking at the couple, Eric couldn't help thinking of some memories from his previous life. Cameron will not talk about it, but Catherine Bigelow is also a legendary woman in Hollywood. Other women are completely different. we can even say. Catherine Bigelow made films that had very little to do with women.
Listen to the names of a series of movies she directed. "Assassination of Osama Bin Laden", "The Hurt Locker", "K-19: The Widowmaker", "The Last Century Frenzy"...
Moreover, the most important thing is that in parallel time and space, Catherine Bigelow is the first female best director winner in Oscar history, and, at that Oscar, Catherine Bigelow's biggest opponent was exactly James Cameron who was sitting next to her at this time. Its exciting enough to make a movie, such as "The Ex-wife's Counterattack" or something.
In my memory, James Cameron had sparks with Linda Hamilton, the heroine of "Terminator 2" when he was filming "Terminator 2". After "Terminator 2" was released, Cameron quickly Divorced Catherine Bigelow.
"Eric, actually, I want to discuss something with you," James Cameron said after greeting Eric.
"Huh?" Eric made a puzzled expression. I said in my heart that the best investment will not be needed so soon, the movie has not started filming yet
See Eric's expression. James Cameron looked at his wife, and Catherine Bigelow took the initiative to speak: "That's right, Mr. Williams..."
"Just call me Eric," Eric interrupted.
Catherine Bigelow didn't express displeasure, nodded, and said: "A while ago, I got a good script, it was a story about a surfer, but because of conflicts in casting, the original copyright Columbia Pictures dropped the project, so now I'm looking for investors."
When Eric heard the word 'surfer', he vaguely thought of a certain movie, but he hadn't watched it, but he had seen some introductions by chance in his previous life, and he only remembered the actor of that movie.
"Can you introduce the plot?" Eric asked.
"It's roughly like this. The newly appointed young FBI agent Johnny is investigating a bank robbery. After some tracing, he found that many clues point to a group of surfers. So Johnny came to Southern California. Beach, on the beach explains young surf instructor Taylor…”
In five minutes, Catherine Bigelow briefly narrated the whole story, and also shared some of her own views on filming.
"So, you want to tell this story darker, right?" Eric asked.
Catherine Bigelow nodded: "I think this can torture humanity more and is more realistic."
"By the way, you just said that you had a conflict with Columbia in casting. Who is the leading actor you chose?" Eric asked cautiously although he already had the answer in his heart.
"Keanu Reeves," said Katherine Bigelow, "this big boy played Ted in Bill & Ted's Adventures last year, and Columbia says Keanu Reeves' image is related to an FBI agent. It's quite different, but I think Keanu Reeves can definitely be a great action actor, he has the potential in him."
Sure enough, Eric said something in his heart. After recalling the brief introduction to this movie in his memory, Eric had an eight-point affirmation. At this time, he heard Catherine Bigelow say Keanu. Reeves' name, Eric no longer has any doubts. Although I don't know what the movie is like, but one thing, Eric does remember very clearly, it is best that the movie is a success at the box office.
As long as this can be confirmed, Eric has already made a decision.
"Ms. Bigelow, I need detailed script and project budget information," Eric said.
Both Cameron and Catherine Bigelow showed surprised expressions. Since Eric said so, it must mean that the other party agreed. The couple did not report much hope at first. After all, neither of them thought it was a commercial film, otherwise, Columbia would not give up the project.
"W... Eric, I didn't bring these materials with me today, but I can give them to you within three days."
Eric nodded and said, "By the way, who will be the producer of your movie?"
Catherine Bigelow glanced at her husband: "Originally Jim has agreed, but now it seems that we have to change to a producer, because we were not sure when we would get investment. I thought that Jim would finish filming "Terminator." 2" is not too late."
"Then I'll be the producer myself," Eric said after thinking about it.
"Are you coming?" Catherine Bigelow suddenly showed a faint look of doubt.
"Hey, Kate, don't you believe that Eric has this strength?" Cameron glared at his wife pretending to be dissatisfied.
Catherine Bigelow finally realized that although Eric was only 20 years old today, the achievements of this young man in front of him made more than 90% of directors in Hollywood feel inferior. For the seven major film companies, being a producer of a film must be more than enough.
"Okay," Catherine Bigelow nodded, "I was just thinking, Eric, don't you need to make your own movie?"
"Of course I need it, but it doesn't seem to be a conflict. It just so happens that I haven't done any specific production work before, so I believe this is also an exercise." Seeing Catherine Bigelow showing the expression just now, Eric hurriedly Waving his hand: "Don't worry, Ms. Bigelow, you should believe in my strength. I think, as long as you know me enough, no one in Hollywood will doubt that I have this strength, right?"
"It seems, yes," Catherine Bigelow finally nodded.
Seeing that the matter was solved so easily, Cameron's expression moved, and he wanted to make persistent efforts, such as... add some budget for "Terminator 2".
However, Eric could clearly see Cameron's intentions in beating snakes and sticking sticks. It is obviously not a good idea to let Cameron succeed so easily. Eric stood up directly: "That's it, Jim, the specific things Let’s talk about it later, today is my birthday, so have fun.”
After finishing speaking, Eric let Xiao Nizi hold his arm and walked to other places.
"Hey, Jim, that little guy must have seen what you want to say," Catherine Bigelow joked with a touch of teasing after Eric left.
Cameron shrugged indifferently: "Anyway... sooner or later you won't be able to escape."
Although Catherine Bigelow wanted to persuade her husband to restrain himself, but thinking about Cameron's harsh and critical character when making movies, he still gave up. He knew that her husband would definitely not listen to him.
"Jim, to be honest, how much are you going to spend on Terminator 2?"
Cameron calculated for a moment, then looked around, and furtively extended a finger to his wife.
Catherine Bigelow took a breath: "One hundred million dollars?"
Cameron nodded.
"You must be crazy, that little guy will be pissed off by you." Catherine Bigelow said helplessly. After all, in the whole of Hollywood, until now, no film has ever reached an investment of 100 million US dollars, with an investment of more than 5,000 US dollars. Wandu is enough for the film company to hype it up.
"He has a lot of money, and the money is used to make movies," Cameron retorted confidently. (To be continued.
