Entrusting John Lasseter with a message to Jobs, Eric put the Pixar business aside. With Jobs' current situation, Eric believes that the chances of the other party agreeing to his offer are more than 90%.
Even if the other party clings to Pixar and does not let go, will Silicon Valley lack 3D animation technicians
On January 21st, "Pretty Woman" officially finished filming. The originally planned three-week shooting time was actually completed in just over two weeks. Eric's reputation as a "fast shooter" in the hearts of the crew members became even more ingrained.
Moreover, Eric stayed up late these days to edit a 59-second Super Bowl trailer. On the morning of the film's finale, Jeffrey went to New York again with the trailer.
Even with the backing of a vigorous young body, Eric still felt deeply exhausted after more than two weeks of high-intensity work. There was no wrap-up party, no touching parting scenes, everyone lived in Los Angeles, and after finishing work, they packed up their things and went their separate ways.
It just so happens that tomorrow is the annual Super Bowl Sunday, and even Eric, a guy who doesn't feel anything about the Super Bowl at all, can feel the frenzied anticipation of most of the crew for this day. Photographer Nicole Frank and several other members, regardless of the exhaustion of so many days, went straight to the airport and flew to Miami after Eric shouted out.
If you're not an American, it's hard to appreciate the American enthusiasm for the Super Bowl.
I don’t know that year and that month, the founder of the NFL, Lamar Hunter, saw his daughter playing superball, and he just wanted to name the finals of the two major NFL championships, so he had the inspiration to make the finals Named the Super Bowl. In fact, the pronunciation of Super Ball and Super Bowl is the same in English, and someone is lazy.
After decades of development, the Super Bowl has become a big carnival for all Americans. The live TV broadcast of the Super Bowl also became the most watched program. That's why Eric insisted on dropping the "Pretty Woman" trailer at the Super Bowl.
I don't know how long I slept, but it was already the afternoon of the second day when I woke up. Eric stretched his waist, felt the soft crackling sound of the bones all over his body, then dressed and washed, and walked downstairs in good spirits.
A petite figure was busy in the living room, the coffee table in front of the sofa was full of food, and the TV was replaced with a new one. Seeing Eric appear, the girl picked up the T-shirt and went straight to Eric.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing, in broad daylight." Eric smiled and dodged Drew's harassment.
"Full of filth, stinky man!" Drew pouted, continued to take off Eric's T-shirt, and put a big red ball jersey on Eric.
"What does this mean?" Eric tugged on the uncomfortable T-shirt that was one size too small.
"Super Bowl night, I announce that you are now a San Francisco 49ers fan."
Eric asked weakly: "Can I say no?"
"No!" After the girl finished speaking, she ignored Eric, turned around and continued to work.
Eric shrugged indifferently, picked up a bucket of fried chicken wings and a few bottles of juice, turned and went upstairs to the study, and let the girl mess around in the living room.
It wasn't until the game started several hours later that Eric was pulled back to the living room by Drew again.
This year's NBA Finals will see the Cincinnati Bengals take on the San Francisco 49ers. If Eric was twenty years younger in his bones, he might still be interested in this kind of game full of fierce collisions. Unfortunately, he has an uncle's soul in his skin, and he is an oriental man. He has not been influenced by North American rugby culture since he was a child. So I really can't arouse much interest. The reason why I have been sitting patiently in the living room is to wait for the moment when the trailer is played.
Finally, the second quarter of the game ended, after the commercial of Chevrolet, the screen flashed, and the carefully edited five-second opening logo of Firefly appeared on the TV screen.
At this time, there are more than 100 million viewers in North America waiting in front of the TV. When they saw the words firefly-film drawn by fireflies, most of them first reacted that this picture is so beautiful. At the same time, they also had a question. what ad
In the previous Super Bowl live broadcast, there has never been a movie trailer, so 99% of the audience did not associate it with this aspect.
Five seconds of the title flashed by. In the close-up shot, the beautiful blonde girl gently opened her red lips: "are-you-ready?" The silver Lamborghini Phantom departs.
"Cool!" In front of the TV, many people's hearts seemed to resonate briefly when the engine sounded. At the same time, people think they understand that this is an advertisement for a sports car.
However, they soon realized that they were completely wrong. The reason why Eric edited this shot was to use the sound of Lamborghini's engine to attract the audience's attention to the TV screen. Next, the singing of "pretty-woman" sounded, and the editing screen of "Pretty Woman" began.
Although it is only about 50 seconds long, Eric spent a lot of time editing this trailer. The shots are also divided into sections of about 10 seconds, which are divided into Edward and Vivian's acquaintance, getting along, getting to know each other, separate from four parts.
Acquaintances on the Avenue of Stars, getting along in the hotel, getting to know each other for a long time, and getting separated with disparity in status.
Although there are only shots and no lines in the middle forty seconds, most of the audience in front of the TV can understand that this is a love story, and it is a love story between a prince and Cinderella. Of course, Eric will not be so stupid as to say everything clearly. Many scenes give people a sense of paradox, as if saying: If you want to know, go to the cinema.
The 59-second commercial finally came to an end, the singing fell, and the last screen appeared. Julia's tone was firm and expectant: "I want a fairy tale!"
The camera ended, the screen turned black, and Julia's last words also left a huge suspense for all the audience: Will she get a fairy tale
Finally, a line of text appeared on the TV: "Home Alone" director Eric Williams' new work "Pretty Woman" will be released across North America on February 10, so stay tuned!
In front of the TV sets in thousands of households, people briefly lost interest in the upcoming commercials and competitions, and started discussing them one after another.
…
"The guy who came up with movie trailers in the Super Bowl is a genius, isn't the Super Bowl ad expensive?"
"It must be very expensive. This advertisement lasts for nearly a minute, and it can't be bought for more than one million dollars."
"It's too extravagant, enough to make a new movie. But I think the trailer is very interesting, maybe I can go and see it after it's released."
…
"The heroine is so pretty."
"I like Al Pacino better. I heard that he is back. So this is the movie. I have watched the "Godfather" series five or six times."
…
"Eric Williams, he has a new movie?"
"Yeah, it's too soon. I don't know who this magical boy is going to harm this time, lovers?"
…
"Mom, I know those words, "Home Alone", let's watch Kevin again tomorrow, shall we?"
"No, baby, you must have read it wrong."
"Mom is lying, you taught me those two words."
…
"I've heard that song, Roy Orbison's 'Oh Pretty Woman,' a record long ago."
"Really, return this record?"
"I guess I can't find it. Your grandfather bought the record. Who knows where it went."
"That's such a pity, but when the movie is released, there will definitely be a soundtrack, and then you can just buy a box."
…
"Cole, shall we go see this movie on Valentine's Day?"
"Um...Margaret, didn't we agree to watch Tom Hanks' "Neighbourhood from Hell?"
"But I think this movie is more interesting..."
"Okay, listen to you."
…
"Hey, that girl said she wanted a fairy tale, do you think she can make it?"
"Honey, this is a Valentine's Day movie, and the ending must be Dzogchen."
"But I think that many scenes imply that the hero and heroine will be separated, and many directors like to use sad endings to seduce the audience to tears."
"Okay, don't think about it, we will find out when we go and have a look together."
