After Eric handed over the script of "Dumb and Dumber" to a few women, except for some suggestions in the notes, Eric didn't ask about all the preparations until the filming started.
After the filming started, Eric only watched some sample shots that Drew brought to Pointe Manor. After the original director Ferrari Brothers was replaced by Keanu Reeves' famous director Stephen Herrick, he didn't give a damn. This movie made too much of an impact. Eric decided to choose the other party after watching Stephen Herrick's "The Adventures of Abbie and Brother". The style of "Abby and Dumber" is very similar to "Dumb and Dumber".
Walking into the set with Drew, what is being filmed is the two protagonists Lloyd and Harry played by Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels after discovering the banknotes in the suitcase, they spend a lot of money.
Speaking of which, the original soundtrack of this scene is very interesting. It uses the classic soundtrack "pretty-woman" in "Pretty Woman" when the hero takes Julia out shopping and the sparrow turns into a phoenix. In "Beauty", Julia changed from Cinderella to a princess after some dressing up, but the two protagonists in "Dumb and Dumber" made it even more funny after tidying up.
Eric and Drew stood quietly on the periphery and watched the scene being filmed. After a while, Eric heard director Stephen Herrick shouting 'good'.
Drew giggled and said to Eric: "Eric, you are really good, you just passed the shot after taking many shots at one stop here."
"Mr. Director heard this, he will definitely be very sad," Eric said with a smile.
"How can he compare to you. His previous film "The Adventures of Abby and Brother" did well at the box office. However, the original producer did not intend to let him direct the sequel. It was because we heard that we invited him to direct " Dumb and Dumber, he was able to keep his job in the sequel of that series."
Eric wasn't too interested in the Hollywood inside story of the little girl Barabara. After the scene just finished, an assistant walked up to Stephen Herrick and whispered a few words, and Stephen Herrick looked this way. Seeing Eric, he quickly got up and said hello, and then announced that the crew was taking a break.
"Mr. Williams, nice to meet you." Stephen Herrick walked over with several leading actors of the film.
Eric shook hands with the middle-aged man in his thirties and wearing glasses. Although Xiao Nizi said it with a look of disdain, it was just because Drew used him as a reference. In Hollywood, someone who can direct a movie in his early thirties is definitely a person with great potential and talent.
After chatting with Stephen Herrick for a few words, Eric greeted the two leading actors, Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. Jeff Daniels had played the leading role in many movies before, Calculated to be more famous than Jim Carrey, Eric was able to easily bring together the original two male protagonists. In "Dumb and Dumber", Jim Carrey's crazy acting completely suppressed Jeff Daniels' performance. In the end, Jim Carrey shined brightly, while Jeff Daniels continued to be tepid. And it will remain unflappable.
Originally, Zhongjin Carey broke his front teeth by accident, but interpreted the role more classicly. Now that the script has been completely copied, Eric has not let go of this classic little detail. At this time, Jim Carey's front teeth look It looked like it was missing a piece, but it was made up.
Stephen Herrick discussed some details of the shooting with Eric, and watched a few pieces of shooting material with Eric before the crew started working again.
Eric didn't bother, and continued to stand far outside the set with Drew, watching the live performance.
Not long after, an assistant director came over from the outside of the studio and said a few words to Drew, Xiao Nizi nodded, and then pulled Eric: "Eric, come with me, show you some Good stuff."
"What?" Although Eric was a little puzzled, he followed out.
When he came outside, Eric saw a double-decker bus parked on the side of the road from a distance, and a group of hot and tall girls got off the bus one after another, all wearing uniform pink T-shirts and white high-waisted jeans , most of them still wear sunglasses. The girls were chirping and chatting, and they were indifferent to the crew members who came forward to greet them, like a group of proud canaries.
"Is this what you said... good stuff?" Eric pointed to the group of girls and asked Drew.
He found that the words "elite" were printed on the t-shirts of those girls. It was obvious that these girls were models of the famous elite modeling company, and with a little association with the script, Eric could guess the purpose of these models.
I sighed in my heart, the prodigal little bitch, just a few shots at the end, just find some hot extra actresses in Hollywood to make cameo appearances. These women are not elite supermodels, and inviting these lesser-known models to appear on the stage will not bring much publicity effect, but it will definitely cost a lot of money.
Drew responded with a little pride, and after seeing Eric's expression, he immediately understood what he was thinking, and explained: "We didn't spend any money, when I was looking at fashion magazines a week ago , saw that the elite modeling company was going to hold a few catwalks in Los Angeles, so someone contacted the person in charge of elite. They heard that you wrote the script for this movie, and they readily agreed to sponsor it. We only need to send Just put elite's name in the last few lines, and now, there's that bus with the logo of the elite modeling agency on it, that's all."
Eric hummed in satisfaction, and as he spoke, the group of models came over one after another, and the chattering voices quickly quieted down after seeing him and Drew. The modeling circle is not far from Hollywood, and it is certainly impossible for these models not to know Eric. Because of the hype in the media during this period, Eric's fame has surpassed that of any star in Hollywood. What's more, Eric's aura of billions of dollars now makes the eyes of these models quickly become eager.
Eric felt a dozen pairs of undisguised hot eyes staring at him. Feeling very uncomfortable. These delicate and beautiful women should have been men's prey. But the situation now is that he seems to be the target of these models.
"Hello, Miss Barrymore," after more than a dozen models approached, the girl who was obviously the team leader came over with a charming smile and greeted Drew.
Drew shook hands with the other party with a smile: "Hello, Miss Claudia, why didn't Mr. McDonald come over?"
"He went to Milan for an urgent matter, let me apologize on his behalf. But when I want to shoot, we sisters are enough."
"Of course," Drew nodded, just about to introduce Eric to the girl named Claudia, but Claudia has already extended her hand to Eric enthusiastically: "Mr. Williams, hello, see You are so honored, my name is Claudia Schiffer."
Eric vaguely remembered this name, it should be a supermodel from his previous life, but he looked at the young girl in front of him. It is estimated that the other party has just debuted now, and he shook his little hand with a smile: "Hello, Miss Schiffer, I am honored to meet you too."
Claudia Schiffer smiled, the corners of her mouth slightly turned up, with a different kind of sexy, she stepped forward slightly and said, "Mr. Williams, just call me Claudia."
"Okay, Miss Claudia," Eric took a step back slightly, a little unable to bear the other's undisguised provocative gaze.
"I heard that you personally wrote this script, Mr. Williams. My sisters and I have been looking forward to it for several days. By the way, I have seen many of your movies, including Cruise and Hanks in "Dark Wars" That's so handsome, Mr. Williams, do you think Andy really died in the end?"
Eric felt that the girl stepped forward again, so he had to take a small step back and said, "Well, let's leave some suspense for everyone. You should have heard that Columbia has started the sequel of "Dark War" , when Cruise will return."
"It's a pity that without you directing it yourself, there is nothing to watch for the sequel," Claudia Schiffer showed a regretful look.
"Of course not," Eric replied, glanced at the little girl who had been molested by the onlookers, gave the girl a dissatisfied look, and then turned to the models behind Claudia Schiffer Said: "Okay, I think everyone should go to the set to take a rest. Although it's not too hot now, standing in the sun will definitely get tanned easily."
The girls were already very dissatisfied with Claudia Schiffer's "occupation" of Eric alone, but they were not afraid of leaving a bad impression on Eric by being too abrupt. Although their eyes were undisguised, their behavior was a bit cramped. At this time, when they heard Eric speak to them, they immediately rushed forward, surrounded Eric in the middle, and several models squeezed Claudia Schiffer outside without any trace.
Eric was surrounded by the fragrant wind and led a group of women towards the set.
Drew looked at the figures of the girls and didn't mind, he shrugged his shoulders and followed.
Unexpectedly, after the set, Eric recruited an assistant director, and directly handed over the group of beautiful vases to the other party to give lectures. Then he became free and found a place to sit near a rest trailer of the crew.
"How is it, are you interested?" Xiao Nizi waited for the girls to leave, then came up and squatted down beside Eric's legs, and asked with a smile.
"What are you interested in?"
Drew made a contemptuous look, and said, "I mean, whoever you are interested in, I will send you to bed tonight."
Eric raised his hand and knocked on the girl's head. It hadn't been practiced for a long time. This movement was a little rusty, but Drew's reaction didn't change. He rubbed his forehead with a wow: "I'm a big girl now, don't knock any more. forehead."
"I'm curious when did you change your career to be a pimp?"
"Tch, good intentions are not rewarded," Drew muttered, glanced at a group of women not far away, and said, "It's just a bunch of beautiful vases, isn't it just for fun. Hey, that Crowe How about Diya, she is tall, has big breasts, has blond hair, and her lips are particularly tasteful, basically in line with your aesthetics."
"It sounds weird," Eric said with a smile, "I seem to have heard the tone of your speech somewhere, oh, in the vegetable market, those vegetable sellers always use these words to evaluate the vegetables on their stalls. Look Ah, my kale, fresh, solid, freshly picked..."
Drew laughed a few times, but said, "That's how it was."
"Okay, stop messing around," Eric patted the girl's head: "Besides, look at the way they looked at me just now, I think I'm their prey."
Drew groaned, but his eyeballs rolled around, and then turned to those women, picking and choosing, well, that Claudia Schiffer is not bad, she is the only one.
Eric didn't know what the hell was going on in the girl's mind, so he stood up quickly and said: "Okay, if there is nothing else, I will leave first, and I have to go back to the Firefly headquarters."
The girl was thinking about something in her heart, she waved her small hands absent-mindedly and said: "Go, go."
Eric stretched out his hand and twisted the baby's face, let go amidst the girl's protesting voice, said goodbye to the director and the others, then got up and left.
In the afternoon, I discussed with the acquisition team at the headquarters of Firefly about the progress of the acquisition of Disney. After work, Eric drove to pick up Famke Jansen. The two drove to a restaurant on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, had dinner together, and then drove together Return to Malibu Villa.
When driving into the villa, the security guard at the door glanced at Eric, remembering Drew's previous explanation, but finally said nothing. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me, if I offend that little magic star, I will be fired.
After parking the car, Eric took Famke Jansen's hand and walked around the manor for a while before returning to the villa.
"What have you been drawing recently?" Walking to the small living room of the villa, Famke Jansen picked up the picture folder on the coffee table, opened it and looked at it, and asked casually.
Eric poured coffee for the two of them, looked back, and said, "Draw whatever you want."
"Heh, are these playing cards?" Famke Jansen waited for Eric to sit down next to him before holding up a drawing and asking.
A black line rose on Eric's forehead: "How can a red heart be considered a poker card, and don't you see that there are patterns around it?"
"Then what is this?"
Eric was just about to speak, but he was stunned for a moment, and finally he didn't hide anything, and said truthfully: "Ring, the design drawing of the ring."
Famke Jansen himself was stunned, a little apprehensive but with some inexplicable expectation: "You mean, a diamond ring?"
Eric nodded. (To be continued..)
