"The Polish actress you were inseparable with me a while ago seems to be called Joanna Pakula, right?" Elizabeth reminded.
Eric nodded: "And then?"
"Because of you, that woman received a lot of film contracts from film companies, but all the scripts that were handed over to you through that woman's agent were all rejected by you and sent back. You won't forget about this, right?"
"No," Eric seemed to understand something, but he was not sure: "I have other arrangements for Joanna, and there are really no outstanding stories in those scripts. Did something happen later?"
"I also heard by chance that the projects that passed through your hands were all cut off."
"All?" Eric asked back in disbelief.
Elizabeth nodded, but looked at Eric with a little strange look: "It shouldn't be wrong, you know, for the seven major film studios like them, most of the film projects start from the production When a person gets a script, it takes months or even years of ups and downs before the film company officially approves the project preparations. As a result, because of your unfavorable words, the project that others have been working on for so long is instantly wiped out. So, you are looking for a role for your daughter this time, how many people are you going to harm?"
Eric didn't answer Elizabeth's last question, and asked, "Has my memory grown so big?"
Elizabeth rolled her eyes, and said helplessly: "Many people now attribute the box office success of "The Silence of the Lambs" to you, and it is estimated that "Sleeping with the Enemy" is the same, although I know that this project is Robert Xie. Yi did it all by himself. But people who don’t know the inside story definitely don’t see it that way. Up to now, the movies you’ve worked on haven’t failed yet, isn’t that reason enough for others to be superstitious?”
Eric scratched his cheek unconsciously, and muttered in a low voice: "It seems that it's a bit too much."
"What did you say?" Elizabeth asked closer.
"I said you have a beautiful dress tonight," Eric replied, looking up.
Elizabeth raised her chin arrogantly: "You don't need to say it, this is the latest Chanel summer style, ah... Bah, you definitely didn't mean that just now."
"Have fun." Eric saw Connery coming back from the outside, greeted Elizabeth casually, and greeted Connery.
Elizabeth glared at Eric a few times in displeasure, shook off her short blond hair, turned and walked into the crowd.
"Come back, come with me. I just saw Amy Pascal, the vice president of Columbia. She must have projects for the second half of the year in Columbia. I know her very well."
Eric walked towards Amy Pascal with Connery on his arm. The men and women who were standing beside Amy Pascal stopped talking and looked at Eric.
Among the few people, only Amy and Eric knew each other, after approaching. Amy Pascal took the initiative to greet, "Hello, Eric."
"Amy. Long time no see. This is my girlfriend, Jennifer Connelly," Eric shook Amy's hand and introduced Connelly.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Connery, you are so beautiful, I seem to have seen your movie," Amy Pascal said enthusiastically to Connery.
Just now when Eric introduced him as the vice president of Columbia, Connery was inevitably a little cautious, but he still shook hands with Amy Pascal generously and said, "Thank you, you are beautiful too, Ms. Pascal."
Amy Pascal nodded with a smile, greeted Connery politely, and then turned his attention back to Eric, and took the initiative to introduce a few people around him for Eric, all of whom were executives of Hollywood film companies or well-known producers people.
If it was more than a year ago, these people were all Eric wanted to make friends with, but now, Eric doesn't need to do this deliberately. The rise of Firefly is inevitable, and Eric has plenty of funds and channels, so he has become the object that many Hollywood producers want to make friends with. Of course, if the other party has a good movie project in hand, the first thing that comes to mind is Seven Big, but the status of Firefly in the hearts of these people does not have to be much weaker than that of Qida, even much higher than that of the declining MGM.
A few people chatted briefly, and Eric asked: "Amy, do you have a movie project in your hand now, the one where the protagonist has not been determined yet?"
Amy Pascal glanced at Connery sharply, and said with a smile: "Yes, but Eric, can you consider starting the sequel of "Dark Wars", in that case, all the characters can be decided by you , Columbia will fully cooperate with you."
"Let's talk about this later. You should know that I'm too busy now."
Eric shook his head and said, because of last year's contract, the copyright of "Dark War" is shared by Columbia and Firefly. After this version of "Dark War" was a box office success, Columbia's lobbying for Eric to start the sequel of "Dark War" did not work. It was broken, but Eric has no interest in the sequel of "Dark War". After Columbia contacted Tom Hanks, Hanks also said that if Eric did not participate in the production of the sequel, he would not join. , the matter was dragged down.
Amy Pascal heard Eric's refusal, so she didn't mention it again. She just said it casually and didn't report any hope. Of course, if Eric suddenly agreed, then the production of this project in Colombia People will definitely fall on her head, which will definitely help her career a lot.
Bypassing the topic of "Dark Wars", Amy Pascal looked Jennifer Connelly up and down before saying: "I have a comedy in my hand whose heroine is very suitable for Miss Connelly. Tomorrow I will ask Send the script to… send to…”
"Send it to Pointe Manor. Let me see if the role is suitable for Jane," Eric said, and did not agree immediately. If the script is not good enough, Eric can postpone it, so it is not owed. The other party's favor.
"No problem, I'll have someone send the script over tomorrow," Amy Pascal said with a smile, "But Eric, even if you don't like it, you can't talk nonsense."
Eric was taken aback, remembering what Elizabeth told him just now, smiled self-deprecatingly, shook his head and said: "It seems that you all know about that, I just heard about it, but last time I really It wasn't intentional, I didn't expect that all those scripts would be cut."
