After the weekend, returning to Los Angeles from Ventura, Eric asked Kelly to select a team from the assistant office to follow up the construction of private airports on the east and west coasts and two Boeing 747-400s and two Gulfstream V airliners purchase transactions. Eric himself continued to focus on the casting of several films and the expansion of Firefly Studios.
Due to the intensive casting of "Iron Man", "Spiderman", "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, and the "Fast and Furious" series at one time, the demand for actors in these heavyweight films covers almost all ages in Hollywood In addition, the Firefly system has shined brilliantly in recent years, making many unknown actors become Hollywood superstars. Therefore, although the Pierce Brosnan incident has just happened, Hollywood has been very lively recently, and actors who want to get roles in these series have almost tried their best.
"So, the X-Files is over, and you're still in touch with Brad Pitt?"
Point Manor, Eric and Famke Jansen are cooking breakfast in the dining room, and when she hears her talking to himself about Brad Pitt's wish to play Tony Stark, he smiles half-jokingly asked. After "The X-Files" ended, Famke didn't take any more film contracts for more than half a year. Instead, he traveled around and started charity. He just returned to Los Angeles these days and has been living in Pointe Manor recently.
"Sherissa Cody called me," Famke Jansen explained, seeing Eric's confused face, he smiled and said, "Sherissa Cody is Pete's agent, you should have met her. We have worked together for so many years, and we get along pretty well, so I will help her pass a sentence to you by the way."
Eric vaguely remembered Sherissa Cody, a woman who seemed to have good abilities and joined ICM, but he hadn't seen her for many years.
After so many years, the status of the two in Hollywood is very different now, and Eric has no prejudice against Brad Pitt, or has no feeling at all. After bringing some breakfast into the restaurant and sitting down at the dining table together, Eric analyzed in a flat tone: "Brad Pitt's acting skills are still good, but his image doesn't suit Tony Stark." After thinking about it, Eric had an inexplicable smile on his lips, and said: "However, I can let him try another character, Thor, but the "Thor" movie needs "Spider-Man" and "Spider-Man". It won’t start until Iron Man comes out, and he’s going to have to wait a few years.”
In the past, Marvel once hoped that Brad Pitt could play Thor, but at that time Brad Pitt had already begun to transform into a director and producer, and this comic role did not have much appeal for him. , the two parties failed to reach a cooperation.
But it's different now, because of Eric's intervention, although Brad Pitt gained a lot of popularity by virtue of the role of the leading actor in "X-Files", after the series ended, he became a star again in the film circle. newcomer. Moreover, affected by the role stereotypes of "X Files", it has become very difficult to develop in the film industry. However, Brad Pitt is indeed a good candidate to play Thor. The "Thor" movie will not start in about two years, and by then, the influence of "X-Files" will also start to dissipate.
Famke Jansen nodded and said, "Then I will reply to Xie Lisa like this."
"By the way, and you, how did you read the "X-Men" comics I gave you?"
"It's very interesting, I like the character of Jean Gray very much," Famke Jansen said, "When do you plan to shoot "X-Men", but I haven't heard any news?"
"This also needs to wait for another two or three years," Eric explained: "My plan is to first open the situation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe through the two films "Spider-Man" and "Iron Man", so that the next project It’s much easier to advance, you can shoot a few movies in the past two years to get a feel for it, after all, TV dramas are always different from movies.”
"In this case, I went back to the Netherlands recently. My sister is preparing a movie and said she wants me to play a role."
Speaking of which, there are three sisters in Famke Jansen's family, and the other two are directors and actors, but both of them are developing in Europe. Eric heard Famke say this, and persuaded him with some reluctance. : "I just came back and I have to leave again. I want you to let your sister come to Hollywood to develop."
Famke Jansen said: "My sister's temper is much stronger than mine. She also knows my relationship with you, so she won't come here."
Eric smiled and said, "It seems that I was lucky enough to catch the least strong of your sisters."
Famke Jansen gave Eric a blank look, and said angrily, "You're not an asshole."
Eric smiled smugly, finished his breakfast in a few moments, and stretched out his hand to hug Famke to show off his bastard side, feeling that she was bending one of her long legs to block his attack, and smoothly pulled the The long legs protruding from the sports shorts hugged her, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm going to work, come here, give me a kiss."
Famke helplessly turned his face to the side and let Eric kiss him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he muttered pretending to be dissatisfied: "I will buy a plane ticket to Holland today."
Eric kissed Famke's lips, and lowered his head to kiss on that seductive long leg. Hearing the girl's itchy laughter, he said, "No, I rented a Boeing 767 recently. , when do you plan to leave, I will send someone to see you off."
After being busy for more than half a month, the selection of the actor of "Iron Man" has entered the second round, and the audition list has also been reduced from hundreds of people who were initially screened to fifty. Eric also intends to personally participate in the latest rounds of auditions .
However, Eric rushed to Firefly Studios, and Katzenberg rushed over with several theme park designers. It turned out that the designer team responsible for the development of the Firefly Studios theme park project had already thought of A proposal for developing a theme park on a plot of land. Since the residents in the eastern part of the park are up for grabs, the studio will not be able to expand eastward on a large scale in the short term, so the company can only focus on developing the land west of Lincoln Avenue.
"Mr. Williams, you see, we can build a sky bridge on Lincoln Avenue to connect the two studio parks in the east and west. In addition, in order to connect the "Titanic" themed exhibition hall area and the west park without affecting With the normal operation of studios and other areas, we can open an exclusive passage on the edge of the eastern park, and set up some movie themes in this passage to increase interest and prevent tourists from feeling boring on the way.”
Eric looked at the slideshow of the design drawing made by the designer, and after listening to the other party's general explanation, he shook his head and said: "It still doesn't work, no one likes to walk a kilometer in a corridor, not to mention that the park in the east is originally Should be part of a theme park visit."
"Then we can open a few gates in the area that is open for tours."
"I'm not talking about the problem of the door, but I feel that the idea of the exclusive channel you mentioned is very boring, which will make people feel a sense of claustrophobia. If you have experienced it, you must know how bad this feeling is. " Eric said, got up and walked to the slide projector, asked the secretary operating the slide to switch the pictures a few times, then stayed on a design drawing across the Lincoln Avenue flyover, stared at the drawing for a while, Eric He raised his hand and drew a long line in the air, saying: "In this way, how do you feel about raising and extending this sky bridge to build an air corridor connecting the "Titanic" exhibition hall and the western park?"
When Katzenberg heard Eric's words, his eyes lit up, he stood up and walked over, nodded and said: "I think this idea is very good, most of the eastern park is not suitable for opening to tourists, but if there is such an air corridor , they will be able to overlook the entire park from a commanding height, which is much better than the idea of ground access.”
Several designers also came over, one of them said: "However, the cost of such an air corridor must be very expensive?"
Eric shook his head, and said to the designer: "Gary, let's not consider the cost, think about it, not far from our south is the Los Angeles International Airport, which has a passenger throughput of 60 million per year. Although the airport has a large number of passengers Some of them take the 405 highway in the west, but only one-fifth of them pass through Lincoln Avenue. Firefly Studios was advertised in front of 12 million tourists from all over the world. This effect must be comparable to a sky bridge that is only for tourists to pass safely.”
The designer named Gary nodded, raised his hand and drew a line across the entire east and west parks, and said, "Mr. Williams, if we don't consider the construction cost, then we can make this corridor span the entire east and west parks." The park will not only form symmetry, but also be more beautiful, and at the same time, the four-kilometer-long air corridor will also be more visually shocking.”
