Eric thought that Zeta Jones would wake up very late after a hangover, but he didn't expect that after he got up, he saw a girl in a pink bathrobe making breakfast in the kitchen.
"Good morning, Catherine," Eric sat down in the small dining room of China Unicom's kitchen, and greeted the figure in the kitchen with a smile.
Zeta Jones seemed a little surprised, looked this way, and said, "Good morning, Mr. Williams."
"Is there any breakfast for me?"
"Of course," Zeta Jones replied, quickly put the fried eggs in the pan on the plate, and then brought it to Eric along with other ready-made food.
Eric thanked him, picked up the cutlery bluntly, and was about to enjoy it, but saw Zeta Jones just sat down next to him.
Aware of Eric's doubts, the girl replied: "I don't eat in the morning, this is just for you."
Eric smiled, divided the breakfast in front of him into two, and pushed it in front of the girl: "You can pour another glass of milk."
Zeta Jones did not object, got up and walked towards the refrigerator, poured a glass of milk back, and sat down in the same position as before.
"Why were you drunk last night?" Eric asked casually, spreading jam on the bread.
Hearing this question, Zeta-Jones froze for a moment, glanced at someone with a nonchalant face, and said bitterly: "There is a guy who made trouble at the reception and messed up my affairs."
"Oh, this is really a pity. It's not so easy to catch a CEO of the top seven in Hollywood, but I don't think Jon Peters will turn his face so easily. What did you do afterwards?"
"I rejected his marriage proposal." Zeta Jones did not hide it. said in a low voice.
Eric was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed outrageously: "Marriage proposal, haha, you're really good at playing, and you even hooked an old Hollywood fritter to propose to you."
Zeta-Jones glanced at Eric, listening to the man speak without any scruples about things that would have been impossible to talk about in a big way, and seemed a little self-destructive. She was an ordinary girl from a small Welsh town. Is it easy to get to this point: "Mr. Williams, are you gloating, I thought you were a gentleman."
"Where did you see it?" Eric stopped laughing and asked.
"Like, last night..."
"So you woke up last night. I thought you were drunk and unconscious." Eric narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman sitting next to him. The woman in the pink bathrobe exuded A faint temptation: "You may have misunderstood this point, mainly because your drunken appearance is making people uninterested in sex. My favorite is the kind of half-drunk and half-awake woman. This kind of woman often will struggle."
"The harder you struggle, the happier you are. Right?"
"Bingo," Eric snapped his fingers.
Although I know that Eric said this mostly as a joke. But Zeta Jones still sent a look of contempt.
Eric completely ignored Zeta-Jones' eyes and asked, "This big golden kid is lost, what are you going to do next?"
Zeta Jones threw a charming look: "There is another one in front of me. I plan to try to catch it. If I fail, I will go back to England and continue to wait for the opportunity."
Eric seemed to be paralyzed by the electric current, pretended to shiver, and said with a frightened look: "I advise you to give up this idea, young people like to go to extremes, in case you seduce others to It's hard to predict what tragic things will happen when you proposed to him and rejected him cruelly."
"If he really proposes to me, maybe I will really agree?"
"Don't, you are still young. Once you step into the grave of marriage, you probably won't be able to climb out. You should continue to harm the old men in Hollywood. When you step on those old bones and climb to the peak of power in Hollywood step by step, I can't help you!" You write an autobiography for you for free, I have already thought of the title, "The Legendary Life of Catherine Zeta-Jones."
"The title of the book is really uncreative, but it is understandable that Hollywood directors often have little talent in screenwriting."
Eric gritted his teeth, seemed to rack his brains for a while, and said, "How about Mein Kampf?"
"Yuan first born will be pissed off and then pissed off..."
Eric sighed and shook his head: "Hey, woman!"
Zeta-Jones looked at Eric with a 'frustrated' face, and the corners of his mouth were bent upwards, proposing a charming arc, but the charm quickly collapsed, and she suddenly wanted to ask Eric She didn't look down on herself very much, but she soon realized that maybe this young Hollywood tycoon didn't care about herself at all. How can I experience the hardships of her painstaking but cautious climbing up in order to get rid of a life of poverty
Feeling that Zeta Jones suddenly became quiet, Eric turned his head and glanced at the woman, noticing her expression, and asked, "What's the matter, wasn't it fine just now?"
"No," Zeta Jones blinked quickly a few times: "Nothing."
"Oh," Eric said without asking, "Do you want me to ask someone to buy you a set of clothes?"
Zeta Jones shook his head: "No, I'll just wear last night's dress and leave. Also, thank you for bringing me back last night, Mr. Williams."
"You're welcome."
Zeta Jones finished the breakfast in front of him, took out a tissue and wiped his lips gracefully, before making up his mind and said: "If one day... don't forget today's promise."
"What?" Eric asked suspiciously.
"Help me write my autobiography, whether it's "The Legendary Life of Catherine Zeta-Jones" or "My Struggle". All in all, when that day comes, I will definitely let you fulfill this promise."
Eric noticed the resolute look on the girl's face when she spoke, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, but. I haven't talked about the fees just now. I'm very expensive."
"I'll act in one of your movies for free." After Zeta Jones made up his mind, he seemed a little more confident: "At that time, my salary will definitely not be low."
Eric pretended to struggle for a moment before showing a 'reluctant' expression: "Then I will suffer a bit, and I promise you."
After Eric finished his breakfast, Zeta Jones carefully cleaned the tableware, returned to the bedroom and changed back to the dress he wore last night.
After the girl came out, Eric said, "Shall I ask the driver to take you?"
Zeta Jones did not refuse Eric's kindness. Expressing their thanks, the two walked out of the villa side by side.
When the girl was about to get in the car, Eric took out a business card and handed it to Zeta Jones: "A good friend's business card, he is a high-level executive of icm, you can go to him, just say I introduced him .”
Zeta Jones hesitated slightly.
Eric smiled: "If you mind, I can guarantee that this detail will not appear in your autobiography in the future."
Zeta Jones smiled, took the business card from Eric, and looked at it. Kapoor Sheed's name was written on it, and she vaguely remembered that it was the name of a gold agent in Hollywood: "Thank you, Mr. Williams, but you can truthfully write this plot into my autobiography."
"Okay," Eric nodded, stepped forward and opened the door for the girl with his own hands, Zeta Jones lifted the skirt and sat in, Eric closed the door, went forward to tell the driver a few words, and watched the car The black BMW sedan leaves.
…
Because of the drastic changes to the film style, "Dark War Prequel" only received a box office of 40.3 million U.S. dollars in its first week of release, and the box office showed a clear downward trend throughout the week. The box office drop of the second week of "Prequel" is likely to exceed 60%, which is quite a conservative estimate. After all, except for "Tornado" which is still strong, the second week of "Dark War Prequel", that is, June 19 "Batman Returns", which Batman fans have been looking forward to for two years, will also be released. Under the attack of "Tornado" and "Batman Returns", "Dark War Prequel" is destined to become the most tragic cannon fodder.
Compared with the disappointment of "Dark War Prequel", the box office results of "Tornado" in the second week of its release surprised many people, really surprised, because compared with the first week, the box office of "Tornado" in the second week was only It fell by 15% to a high of $55 million, which is about 15 million more than the first week of "Dark War Prequel". With this box office trend, "Tornado" is likely to become a movie again. The total box office in North America exceeded 300 million U.S. dollars.
"Tornado" accumulated a box office of 120 million U.S. dollars in two weeks, which also allowed Hollywood film companies to fully see the box office potential of cg special effects movies. Film companies are in close contact with them, and those newly established small cg special effects companies in Hollywood have frequently received merger invitations from big film companies.
In this case, after discussing with Stan Winston, Eric quickly made a decision to expand the scale of the digital field, intending to expand the scale of fixed CG special effects artists in the digital field by 1,000 people. The reason for this plan , Eric is not just considering that the workload in the digital field will increase significantly.
In addition, there are also considerations about Maya software. If we can train as many as 1,000 special effects artists who are proficient in operating Maya software in the digital field, then after these people leave their jobs in the future, as long as they stay in the special effects industry, they will definitely be able to promote Maya. Software will play a very important role.
After seeing the importance of cg special effects, some other special effects companies also started to develop their own special effects software. However, there was a lack of enough film projects for technology accumulation. Eric knew that those softwares were destined to be impossible to surpass maya, and only a few years later , choose the right time to commercialize the maya software, and it will definitely bring you a huge fortune.
On June 19th, under the close attention of many people and the anticipation of a large number of movie fans, Warner released Batman's second big movie "Batman Returns" after two years.
In the case of "Dark War Prequel" has been completely announced to hit the street, most people have turned their attention to the box office fight between "Batman Returns" and "Tornado". Although "Tornado" has been released to the third week, but Relying on the unfavorable box office trend of the first two weeks, even if the box office can maintain a decline of about 20% this week, the box office of "Tornado" will still reach a height of more than 45 million US dollars in the third week, which is the same as the box office of most movies in the first week of release. almost the same.
As Eric had expected, "Batman Returns" still maintains the dark style of Tim Burton, but after the stunning performance of the first part, the audience obviously can no longer accept the colder part of the second part. Yu Feng, although "Batman Returns" still received more than 55 million US dollars in the box office in the first week of its release, but the evaluation of fans is not as high as the first one. At the same time, "Tornado" still has a box office of more than 46 million US dollars, with a total box office of 166 million US dollars. Compared with the two, this year's box office champion is probably destined to belong to "Tornado".
In the second week of the release of "Batman Returns", the box office dropped by 45%, which was much higher than the box office drop of more than 20% in the same period of the first film. Although this sequel follows the current box office trend, The cost can definitely be recovered. However, under the one-sided crusade of fans, Warner is already considering replacing the director and actor of the "Batman" series.
Perhaps because he wanted to maintain his status in the arena, in the second week of the release of "Batman Returns", the actor Michael Keaton took the initiative to reveal to the media that he planned to withdraw from the Batman series of films, but Warner did not make a positive statement about it. respond.
Eric also heard the news very quickly. He knew that Warner's Batman series of movies in the 1990s, when it came to the third and fourth movies, almost every main creator would have a complete 'update', so he could also experience As far as Michael Keaton is taking the initiative to find a way for himself. However, without the halo of Batman actor, it is estimated that Michael Keaton will definitely not have any major development in Hollywood in the future. After waiting for more than ten or twenty years, recalling the past, this former superhero played Participants will star in a movie called "Birdman", reminisce about the past, and hit the Oscars by the way.
However, these are no longer Eric's concerns. July is approaching, and all the preliminary preparations for "Jurassic Park" have been prepared, and the filming can start at any time. But after some consideration, Eric still decided to wait until another movie in Firefly's summer vacation was released before heading to Kauai, Hawaii, the main filming location of "Jurassic Park".
