Kim Kardashian stayed up all night because she had been struggling with Eric asking her name yesterday.
Kim Kardashian instinctively felt that Eric must be interested in her. At first, she was quite excited. If she could get along with such a big person, no one would treat her like nothing in the future.
But throughout the day, Eric's attitude towards her was nothing special, which made her both anxious and disappointed. After the party, she tossed and turned on the bed for a few hours, watching the light from the window, and then left When I got out, I didn't expect to see Eric waking up so early, sitting in the yard reading the newspaper.
Hearing Eric greet her, Kim Kardashian quickly responded: "Morning, good morning, Mr. Williams."
Having said that, Kim Kardashian stood there and waited for a while, seeing Eric focus on the newspaper in his hand again, hesitated for a while, walked over lightly and sat down on the other side of the long table, After looking around for a while, I had nothing to say: "Mr. Williams, are you reading the Los Angeles Times?"
"yes."
Eric agreed, took a sip of the milk next to him, glanced at Kim Kardashian next to him casually, and saw her sitting across the long table, leaning slightly to his side, since she was only wearing a In the white close-fitting vest, the two bulging chests seemed to be placed on the table. This visual stimulation immediately made Eric choke and spit out a mouthful of milk.
Kim Kardashian had noticed Eric's eyes, and was a little proud. Seeing him choking, she quickly got up and came over: "Mr. Williams, are you okay?"
Eric waved his hand, and saw Kim Kardashian handing over the box of tissues on the table, took it quickly, and pointed to the opposite side of the long table: "Don't come over, sit opposite."
Kim Kardashian was stunned for a moment, and backed away a little aggrieved, but still intentionally continued to pose just now. After Eric cleaned up the milk stains on his clothes, Kim Kardashian hesitated, and suddenly Said: "Mr. Williams, I, this is true."
Eric spread out a newspaper again, and hit casually: "It looks like a fake."
"No, really," Kim Kardashian shook her head, looked at the empty surroundings, and boldly said, "If you don't believe me, you can feel it, you can definitely feel it."
"Forget it, I won't give you an identification certificate if you touch it." Eric shook his head with a smile, and said again: "Are you from New York?"
When Kim Kardashian heard Eric ask her a question, she quickly said, "Yeah, how did you know?"
Eric shrugged: "I just think the Hilton family must live in New York."
Kim Kardashian didn't want Eric to always regard her as Paris Hilton's follower, and explained in a somewhat scattered manner: "I, she and I are just classmates, and we came to Los Angeles together during the summer vacation, and, um, I Live at my dad’s house, he’s a businessman, he used to be a record company, and now he’s in the juice business.”
Eric felt something was wrong, raised his head and asked, "Your father's name is Robert Kardashian?"
Kim Kardashian's eyes lit up immediately, and she nodded quickly: "Yes, Mr. Williams, do you know him?"
now it's right.
Robert Kardashian, the famous Simpson murder defender.
But something is wrong. These are obviously memories of Eric's previous life. According to the information in his mind, the murder of Simpson's wife should have happened in 1994. Because of the deep-rooted racial issues involved, and the Los Angeles riots just happened Against the backdrop of this unsolved case, this unsolved case has almost touched the nerves of the entire United States in the original time and space, and it can be described as a sensation.
However, in this time and space, it is now 1997, and Eric has not heard any news about the murder of Simpson's wife. It seems that some things have changed again.
"I seem to have heard someone say it," Eric said perfunctorily to Kim Kardashian, but suddenly another thought came into his mind, and he said, "Listen to you, your parents should be divorced, right?"
"Yeah, my stepfather's name is Bruce Jenner. He used to be an Olympic champion, but now his main focus is on TV shows."
"Oh, what about your mother?"
"Her name is Kris," Kim Kardashian said, and then approached: "My mother loves "Project Runway", and she always said that one day she will be in a reality TV production or something .”
Eric didn't expect that Kim Kardashian would suddenly mention this, remembering yesterday's idea of a reality show about Hollywood girls' life, this project definitely needs a producer. Neither he nor the girl can do it himself, and Bruce Jenner and Kris Jenner, the couple who created "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" in the original time and space, are obviously very suitable. Perhaps the two lack some experience in program production, but in Hollywood, where there are millions of employees in the film and television industry, there is never a shortage of technical production talents. In this regard, the Jenners, who were omnipotent in terms of hype in their previous lives, are definitely far beyond ordinary producers.
After sorting out his thoughts, Eric asked with a smile: "Is your mother really interested in reality shows?"
Kim Kardashian was a little confused, but still nodded and said, "Yes."
"That's it," Eric looked around, and simply took a piece of paper from the newspaper at hand, found a pen and wrote a series of numbers on it, handed it to Kim Kardashian, and said, "This is my The phone number from the assistant's office, give this to your mother, of course, didn't you say that your stepfather is currently focusing on TV shows, and in this case, he can also participate."
Kim Kardashian took the piece of newspaper with the phone number in a daze. Although she is still in high school, she does not lack life experience due to the influence of her living environment since she was a child. At this time, she instinctively felt that Realizing that her family might be about to undergo earth-shaking changes because of this piece of newspaper, she tightly squeezed the number in her hand, and she began to stammer again, saying, "Wei, Mr. Williams, I, then, what then?"
"Do you still remember the idea of the Hollywood reality show about girls' life that I mentioned yesterday? Tell them this. In a week, make a plan for a reality show and show it to me first. If I am satisfied, the project You can have your stepfather and mother as producers."
"Ah," Kim Kardashian felt a little unbelievable. Producers, this is the most powerful class in Hollywood. Moreover, the producers of TV programs are even more powerful than film producers, and after looking at the number on the piece of paper, Kim Kardashian still asked uncertainly: "Wei, Mr. Williams, you won't, Are you kidding me?"
Eric shook his head and said with a smile: "Your chest is so big, I'm afraid you won't understand it when you're joking."
Sure enough, Kim Kardashian couldn't understand the stalk, but her face turned hot, and she said: "But, my stepfather and mother are both in New York, and my mother also takes care of my two younger sisters, Kendall and Kelly are both Not yet three years old."
Eric shrugged and said: "This is not my business. If you don't see the plan within a week, forget about it."
Kim Kardashian didn't dare to bargain with Eric, she nodded obediently, and said, "Then, all right."
Since it was summer vacation and weekend, the girls basically woke up around noon. After the twins got up, Eric asked them to drive him back to the girl's mansion in Trousdale Manor, and dealt with some work emails in the morning. I wanted to start writing the outline of "The Fast and the Furious" in the afternoon, but a group of girls rushed over after getting up, and forced Eric to go crazy for a long time.
Three days after the weekend, "The Lion King 2" took the top spot with a first-weekend box office of US$38.9 million, while the second-placed "Prison in the Sky" had a box office figure of only 24.1 million, a difference of more than US$14 million.
Compared with "The Fifth Element", which was robbed by Sony in May, with a box office of just over US$22 million in the first week, the box office performance of "Prison in the Sky" is obviously not that bad. However, even if you don't say that Firefly just broke through 600 million in North America "Titanic", which is officially under the US dollar, is only compared with "The Lion King", but the box office figures of "Prison in the Air" can only be regarded as a failure.
At the same time, due to the fact that the box office performance of several box office countries that opened in the same period overseas also did not meet expectations, and the reputation of "Prison in the Air" barely reached the passing line. The global box office estimate of $300 million has been revised down significantly.
Taking into account the upcoming super blockbusters such as "Godzilla" and "Batman and Robin", "Hollywood Reporter" even lowered the North American box office forecast of "Prison in the Air" to 80 million US dollars, and the global forecast is 80 million US dollars. Also only 180 million. Firefly Group also lowered the global box office estimate of "Prison in the Sky" to $200 million. According to this estimate, it is unlikely that "Prison in the Sky" will bring profits to Firefly at the box office, and the company can only pin its profit prospects on the later video tapes and peripheral distribution.
Although anyone who is a little knowledgeable knows that "The Lion King 2" and "Prison in the Sky" do not have much box office competition, but it is indisputable that "The Lion King 2" far surpasses "Prison in the Sky" at the box office. In fact, Paramount Pictures, which was severely suppressed in the early publicity process, even exaggerated the "hard-won" victory of "The Lion King 2". Celebration banquet.
Correspondingly, because Paramount Animation's two consecutive animated films "Pocahontas" and "The Lion King 2" have achieved box office success, while Firefly did not even launch an animated film last year, the industry has also begun to emerge. Questioning the voice of Eric's decision to sell Disney's hand-drawn animation studio, a newspaper in San Francisco even criticized Eric's move to sell Disney's hand-drawn animation studio as "Hollywood's stupidest business decision."
The box-office performance of "Finding Nemo," which is due out in two weeks, is also all the more compelling because of the rhetoric.
The high-level executives inside Firefly have all seen the finished film of "Finding Nemo", but although everyone affirms the excellence of "Finding Nemo", most of them have no confidence that this animated film can surpass "The Lion King 2". After all, "Finding Nemo" has a release date sandwiched between "Godzilla" and "Batman & Robin." But even if you understand this, it is impossible to make any adjustments to the schedule right now. Everyone can only secretly hope that the box office of "Godzilla" and "Batman and Robin" will not explode so high, so as to leave "Finding Nemo" more living space.
Although the main actors have not been confirmed yet, the main creative teams of the two projects "Spider-Man" and "Iron Man" have been established. Cameron and his old partner Jon Landau are in charge of "Spider-Man". The producer of "Iron Man" is Eric himself. Marvel Pictures has also officially signed a director contract with Joss Whedon.
After the weekend, Eric began to have frequent meetings with the person in charge of Marvel Pictures and the creators of the two teams to discuss the scripts, casting, budget and other issues of the "Iron Man" and "Spider-Man" projects.
According to preliminary estimates, the development and testing of special effects technology for the two films will take half a year.
At the same time, due to the large scale of production, once the project is officially launched, the project may cause millions of dollars in losses every day. Therefore, the preparatory work also needs to be carefully considered in all details. It will take more than half a year, and it is not impossible to delay it for a few more years. The "Iron Man" in the original time and space has been in preparation since the 1990s, and the official shooting has already started in 2007. The sequel of Cameron's "Avatar" is even more delayed. A lifetime series.
Eric certainly wouldn't let the two projects be dragged on for so long.
"Iron Man" has initially drawn up a project schedule. The film will officially start shooting in March next year. The filming work is expected to take four months, and the special effects production may take eight months. If everything goes well, the film will be released in 1999. It was officially completed in March of 2010, and the summer file of that year was released.
As for "Spider-Man", Cameron basically overturned the script of the year and started to write a new plot himself.
At the same time, Cameron had a whim recently. In order to make the shot of Peter Parker flying among the high-rise buildings in New York more realistic, he asked the digital field to develop a set of special effects software for it. Obviously, it will take longer Eric only hopes that this project can start filming around the end of next year. As long as it can be released in time for the summer of 2000, everything will be fine.
While paying attention to the two projects of Marvel Pictures, Eric also took the time to write the outline of "Fast and Furious", and handed it over to the girl to find a screenwriter to supplement.
In the past, the development of this series has always been stumbling. The success of the first film seems more like an accident. The box office of the subsequent films was not ideal. It was not until the fourth film that the series began to enter The ranks of mainstream Hollywood blockbusters.
This time, although Eric does not need to take so many detours, it is impossible to accomplish it overnight. The script of the first episode still roughly uses the plot of the first part of the previous life. After all, the success after the fourth part of the series is also the success of the previous few. The result of gradually gaining popularity.
The busy working days passed quickly. On June 6, when the box office of "The Lion King 2" and "Prison in the Sky" was released for the first week, Sony Pictures' much-anticipated "Godzilla" also opened strongly on more than 3,300 screens in North America. painting. (To be continued.)
