After revealing the idea of setting up a production company on the spur of the moment, Nicole felt that she was too whimsical.
In her opinion, the situation of tg film company is very special. Although Elizabeth, who holds the largest share, is Eric's woman, the other party also has the status of the second lady of the Murdoch family, which allows her to obtain the second daughter at the same time. Supported by Tenth Century Fox.
As for Drew, during the time we were together, Nicole deeply realized Drew's admiration and dependence on Eric. That little girl almost regarded Eric as her own god. It can be said that in tg , Drew is equivalent to Eric's clone, if Eric wants to intervene in tg, Drew must be the most resolute executor. Julia is the first female lead in a film directed by Eric.
All indications indicated that these three women were all closer to Eric than she was. Thinking about herself again, Nicole felt that she didn't seem to have anything worthy of Eric's investment.
When I was feeling a little lost, I heard Eric say suddenly: "It's not impossible, if you can completely pull the two of you to your side, I will support you in setting up a film company."
Surprised and puzzled at the same time, Nicole asked, "Which two people?"
"Pie Kingsley and Paula Wagner," Ai 〖√, Rick replied.
Eric had such an idea last year. Pi Kingsley and Paula Wagner are undoubtedly two very capable women in their respective fields. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the nobles in Cruise's acting career .
"It's unlikely," Nicole said without any confidence, even though she is now a first-line actress in Hollywood. But on the status in Hollywood. She is still far from being comparable to Cruise. She is very clear. Not to mention Paula Wagner, who has nothing to do with her, even Pai Kingsley, if she was asked to choose between herself and Cruise, Pai Kingsley would abandon her without hesitation.
Eric seemed to be more interested, put the document in his hand on the coffee table, and said: "I think this is a very easy task, as long as Cruise feels that Pai Kingsley and Paula... Wagner is more in favor of you and ignores him, and if Cruise's career is a little bit slippery in the meantime, and your acting career is moving forward, it will be more logical."
In the original time and space, Cruise and Pai Kingsley broke up because Nicole's career development was smoother than him, and she even won an Oscar. In the following years, Cruise's career went downhill, and she parted ways with Paula Wagner , and finally became a loner.
The excitement in Nicole's eyes was not because of Eric's talk about prying Cruise's corner, but because of the phrase 'and your acting career is moving forward', which means. Eric will definitely help himself. If this little bastard could use more snacks on herself, Nicole would rather give up the idea of a production company. Tired of Eric. She said with a little complaint: "You always ignore me. It's so easy for me to advance to a higher level in my career by myself."
"You're playing tricks on me again," Eric smiled, grabbed Nicole's waist, picked up the slender girl and put it on her lap, stretched out his hand and slapped the girl's buttocks lightly, taking advantage of the situation Knead again.
Nicole twisted her body enchantingly in Eric's arms, laughed a few times, and let Eric finish beating before turning over and putting her arms around Eric's neck: "You always keep saying I'm your woman, and since that's the case, these are what you should do."
Eric put his arms around Nicole's waist, raised his head as if thinking, and then fucked the girl: "It seems very reasonable, then I will do what I have to do first."
"Well..." Nicole echoed, but saw that Eric was not going upstairs, but walking west, and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Terrace, swimming pool."
"Now, the temperature outside is very low, do you want to catch a cold?"
"Just put hot water in the small pool next to it. Let's go directly in it... um... um, and you can watch the stars by the way, how romantic."
"Directly in the water... It's almost perverted," Nicole hung on Eric with a reddish face, seeing that Eric's footsteps didn't stop, she couldn't help but whispered: "Should I take a bathrobe or something?" Yes, we must be back soon."
"It's in the changing room."
…
Eric and Cruise are no longer on the same level plane. Even if he doesn't like Cruise in his heart, he doesn't have the intention to target him specifically. It's just a funny episode to push Nicole to pry Cruise's corner .
It is really not difficult to poach Pai Kingsley and Paula Wagner away from Cruise. As in the previous life, Eric planned to hold Nicole up, causing a pie Kingsley and Paula Wagner to favor Nicole and ignore the fact of Cruise. In this case, the relationship between Cruise and the two women There will be cracks.
In the next few days, Eric quickly picked out a good script from his memory, "Hot Girl" starring Sandra Bullock in his previous life. This story tells the story of fbi Detective Sarah and Boston policewoman Shannon were paired together by accident to investigate a hilarious story about a case. What Eric remembers most is that the two toasted to celebrate the end after a series of ups and downs. The result was a muffled bang. Sarah smashed the beer glass directly, and the glass shards cut a wound on Sarah's hand. Shannon, who has always been hot and bloody, rolled his eyes and fell to the ground when he saw this scene. .
The whole story is full of very happy laughs everywhere, and Eric didn't even have to worry about it, so he found the candidates for the two protagonists. Nicole played the unpopular and critical FBI agent, and " Rosie O'Donnell, who plays Betsy with Nicole in Sleepless in Seattle, can just play Shannon, and the image is very suitable.
Eric plans to ask Nicole to invite Paula Wagner to be the producer. If Pai Kingsley can publicize Nicole's nomination for a Golden Globe Award for Leading Actress in the Musical Comedy category next year, the effect will be even better. Then in the summer, arrange a hit movie with good box office potential for Nicole. As long as two consecutive movies are successful, and if the prequel of "Dark War" that Cruise participated in does not have a big hit, then the expected goal is also very good. Easy to implement. This goal is not difficult to calculate. Based on the details revealed in "Dark War", this prequel will be another big production with a total investment of nearly 100 million U.S. dollars in production and distribution. It was too successful.
In the original time and space, "Hot Hands" won a global box office of 200 million US dollars with an investment of 40 million US dollars. Eric did not expect this female-dominated R-rated comedy to be as successful as in his previous life, just because it was ten years earlier. For many years, the budget for this edition only needs 20 million US dollars, so even half of the previous life's results are enough for Firefly to make a fortune.
The English name of "Hot Hands" is "the-heat", which is to spoof the famous "Heat" in the original air. Now the classic "Heat" has not yet been filmed. In order to create a gimmick, Eric imitated the naming method of "Thelma and Louise" and changed the name of the movie to "Sarah & Shannon", because at the end of the year "Thelma and Louise" "Flower" will also be released, and the English name of "Thelma & Louise" is "Thelma & Louise".
Two films with a slightly feminist color are released at the same time, and the themes do not collide, which can play a good role in promoting each other.
Before the Oscars, Colombia, which had a lot of money or didn’t care about spending other people’s money, reached an agreement with Firefly on the copyright transfer of “Dark War”. Half of the film copyright was sold for 100 million US dollars, which made many film companies envious.
However, after the money arrived, it was transferred to Pixar for the production of "A Bug's Life", another sum of money was allocated to the construction of the Playa Vista studio base, and the remaining funds were allocated to " The budget of "Tornado", 100 million U.S. dollars, was completely spent before it was even warmed up.
Eric also has to lament that the film company in a state of rapid expansion spends money like water. If there is not enough bargaining chips hidden in its hands, and if it is unwilling to go public for financing, Firefly will undoubtedly embark on the road of debt management like other film companies . Many second- and third-tier film companies in Hollywood that have the potential to develop into giants are often thrown on the road of development because of the vicious circle of huge debts.
After several months of public relations, on March 25, 1991, the 63rd Academy Awards ceremony was held as scheduled at the Holy Citizen Auditorium in Los Angeles.
For Eric, he is a passer-by at this year's Oscars, and the nominations for "Ghost Story" have nothing to do with him.
As for the award presenters, the Oscar Organizing Committee was very happy to let Eric come on stage to present the awards, but it was difficult for Eric to present the awards.
In Hollywood, a star of Eric's age can only show his face on stage by presenting technical awards. This still needs to have enough connections and fame, just like Nicole's best photography award presenter this year, It was Pai Kingsley who won it. However, with Eric's current status, if he is asked to award those insignificant technical awards, Eric will never agree, but if he is asked to award important awards such as best director and best film, Eric's qualifications It was not enough, and in the end it had to be left alone.
The concierge car slowly stopped at the end of the red carpet, Eric got out of the car calmly, and the reporters waiting around cheered up and raised their cameras, looking forward to the appearance of Eric's female companion, regardless of whether Eric Who will walk the red carpet with, as long as the photo is taken, no matter it is true or false, it can be hyped up.
