Virginia couldn't understand what Eric was talking about at all, and asked in confusion: "Malibu 10880?"
Eric nodded, but did not explain in detail, and it was impossible to explain clearly to the girl.
Eric was deeply impressed by Tony Stark's Malibu super sea view mansion in "Iron Man 3" in his previous life. Afterwards, like many movie fans, he checked the information of this mansion on the Internet, but found that it was a full CG model made by the film company on the basis of the original site in Malibu.
Later, some people said that the mansion really existed, but the address was in San Diego, California, and the owner listed it for sale. Netizens watching quickly discovered that it was just a hype, and the one in San Diego was indeed a good sea view villa. But compared with the ones in the movie, the difference between wild ducks and white swans is obvious.
The more fashionable Stark Tower in New York is unlikely to be realized. New York is already a radish and a pit, but Iron Man's Malibu mansion is within Eric's ability. It's nothing more than a problem of money. For Eric now, the problem of money is not a problem. It is estimated that the movie "Feng Yue" can bring him hundreds of millions of dollars () in income. Such a large amount of money is enough to build a hundred villas in Malibu.
Turning his head and glanced at the fragrant girl lying on his shoulder, Eric smiled and stretched out his hand to caress Virginia's plump meatballs, feeling the smooth soft flesh in his palm: "Vicky, go and help me make some breakfast , I’ve been busy all night, I’m so hungry.”
Virginia glanced at Eric charmingly: "With me here, do you still need breakfast?"
"Go ahead, prepare a piece of bread and omelette, and then you hold an apple and lie on the dining table, and I will eat you later."
"As you wish, Your Highness." Virginia smiled and stretched her head, wanting to kiss the corner of Eric's mouth. Just as the red lips came closer, Eric suddenly thought of something, and suddenly tilted to the side: "No."
With a bang, the whole person fell to the ground with the chair, and the stack of papers fixed by paper clips on his knees was also torn apart and scattered all over the floor.
Virginia quickly helped Eric up and patted the dust on his body: "What's wrong with you, you reacted so badly?"
Eric pointed to Virginia's small mouth: "You ate that last night, haven't you brushed your teeth yet?"
Virginia immediately understood, and gave Eric a reproachful look: "You are so hateful, you force me to eat such disgusting things, and I feel disgusted."
"A tiger's poison doesn't eat its children!" Eric smiled and picked up the papers on the ground with Virginia, sorted them out, and fastened them with paper clips again. After driving the girl to prepare breakfast, Eric sat down again.
The order of more than ten pages of manuscripts was obviously disrupted. Eric flipped through it to mark the order, and casually glanced at the two striking letters at the top of a certain page, steel-s.
"Steel Magnolia" ah!
Eric quickly sorted out the order of the manuscript and read it from the first page.
Although it was just an audition clip, not a complete script, and there was no information about the screenwriter and director on it, Eric still used these footage to confirm that this was the "Steel Magnolia" he was looking for. The footage in the manuscript is obviously the timid hairstylist An Nai'er.
"The lucky attribute points are really high enough, maybe you should go to Las Vegas to try your luck!" Eric muttered with a smile, since this script appeared in Virginia's bedroom, the audition should be The most recent thing, hopefully the characters aren't settled yet.
Going downstairs with the script, Virginia has already changed into a set of home clothes and is busy in the kitchen wearing an apron.
Noticing that Eric appeared behind her, Virginia turned her head and smiled at him: "Eric, I'll be fine soon."
Eric raised the script in his hand and asked, "Vicky, when did you audition for this movie?"
Virginia turned over the sizzling eggs in the frying pan with a shovel, and quickly turned her head to take a look: "You mean "Steel Magnolia"? The audition was on Friday, um, the day before yesterday."
"Can you tell me about this movie, how much do you know?"
Virginia shoveled out the fried eggs, turned off the fire, and said, "Okay, Eric, let's go to the restaurant to talk."
Eric nodded and helped the girl bring breakfast into the dining room.
Virginia poured a glass of milk for Eric, and said: "My agent recommended me the script of this movie, and the director is Herbert Ross. I heard that Samsung originally planned to invest, because it started working with Japan’s Sony’s acquisition negotiations, worried that the box office failure of the produced and distributed films would lead to a drop in stock prices, and many unfavorable film projects of Columbia Samsung Pictures were suspended. Not much before I got an audition."
Because of Eric's promise last night, Virginia was no longer disappointed that she didn't get the role of Annel, her tone was very flat, as if she was talking about family matters: "It's a pity that Herbert Ross thinks I... I'm too old , was not suitable for the role, so the audition failed."
When she mentioned her age, the girl felt a little worried again, and looked up at Eric. She would be thirty years old soon, and it was impossible for her to stand up to the wasted years.
Eric, who was on the opposite side, was eating much slower, thinking quickly in his mind, since Samsung gave up the movie, maybe it could bring this project over. If Firefly wants to develop and grow, it is impossible to only make Eric's movies all the time. It is necessary to invest in more projects, and "Steel Magnolia" may be a good attempt.
Of course, in the future, Firefly will definitely have to slowly establish its own distribution channels. In the previous life, DreamWorks had no choice but to hand over the film to the six big companies for distribution because it did not have a complete distribution channel. As a result, most of the profits were divided by the giants. Many of the factory's films were sold well, but the books have been losing money, and finally had to be sold to Viacom.
In fact, DreamWorks also has its own distribution capabilities, but many of the films produced by Spielberg are large-scale productions with large investments. With their own publicity and distribution capabilities, if they are forced to release, movies that could have grossed 200 million US dollars in the world can recover 100 million US dollars. A billion dollars would be nice. This is why Eric has not considered releasing his own movie for the time being.
He is willing to give nearly half of the profits to Fox, because only the publicity and distribution capabilities of a giant like Fox are enough to fully release the box office potential of a movie that could have sold well. If he distributes it himself, even if he gets exactly the same number of screens as Fox, it is impossible to achieve the same high box office. There are too many things involved in this, it is difficult to explain clearly at the moment.
Gradually, Eric sorted out the development ideas that Firefly should have. While entrusting the movies he produced to the giants to collect money, he also invested heavily in some low-cost movies with a budget of several million, and used these movies as "cannon fodder" to slow down. Accumulate resources and experience slowly. When it develops to a certain level, it will be logical to release its own movies.
It seems that the Weinstein brothers took the road of starting with a small cost. They have been playing the ups and downs of the high-end DreamWorks and sold them again and again. The Weinstein brothers have always had a good life, even after losing Miramax, The newly formed Weinstein Films still has a presence in Hollywood.
