Chapter 108 Do You Believe In Love At First Sight
"Motorola promised to pay a sponsorship fee of $3 million, but the prerequisite is that the protagonist must be Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks, who were previously revealed."
"Lamborghini's sponsorship offer this time is a one-time payment of $800,000. The other party has learned to be smart and no longer accepts the rules of floating sponsorship fees based on box office."
"As for the others, Ray-Ban sunglasses are offered at $500,000, requiring the movie to have a close-up of the Ray-Ban glasses trademark for more than 5 seconds. Hershey Chocolate Candy Company also bid $500,000 to buy out the implant advertisement for the box bomb..."
In the conference room, Jeffrey spoke with excitement in his tone, reading the quotations of sponsors who were interested in purchasing implanted advertisements one by one.
In fact, Eric also has the same document, but Jeffrey just couldn't help reading it out. He was so happy that if all the quotes on the document were finalized, it would mean that Firefly had made a profit of more than $6 million before the filming of the movie started.
In this era, Hollywood has more than 500 movies on theaters every year, but even if the profits of the videotape broadcast rights and other peripheral profits reaching $6 million, it will not exceed 50 movies.
Eric reviewed his opinions one by one after the advertising quotes, then closed the folder and handed it to Jeffrey: "Okay, Jeffrey, you're only more than $6 million in sponsorship, so you're happy with this?"
"It's only more than $6 million," Jeffrey raised his head dissatisfiedly, repeated Eric's words, and retorted: "Eric, do you have the ability to find me another movie that can get $6 million in sponsorship?"
"Not now, it doesn't mean there will be no in the future," Eric spreads his hands: "Maybe in another ten or twenty years, movies can recover most of the costs by just inserting advertisements."
"There is no need to wait for ten or twenty years at all," Jeffrey sighed, "If it were the last movie "Fengyue Pretty Beauty" and we received so much sponsorship fees, it would have been considered a cost-recovery."
"The assumption is completely uncontroversial," Eric suddenly remembered another important thing: "Did you tell these sponsors what was kept confidential before the release of the movie?"
"Of course I won't forget," Jeffrey replied. "I have explained all the benefits and the sponsors will not disclose a single word before the movie is released."
Eric nodded with confidence, stood up and asked, "That's good, today's audition is about to start again. Are you going to come?"
"Forget it, it's too tormenting, I won't go." Jeffrey hurriedly refused. He was originally quite enjoying the producer's power to seize the actors' life and death, but unfortunately he sat behind the audition table for several days, repeatedly asked, and watched the audition actors' performance over and over again. Slowly, the previous sense of superiority completely disappeared, leaving only boredom and fatigue.
The actor auditions these days have also made Eric dizzy. This is mainly the audition for the role of "Dark War". There are hundreds of actors who have obtained the audition qualification for each role, but they have also undergone a large number of screening results. In addition, some eliminated actors also want to get a second audition through various channels from time to time, which is a big deal.
Eric has decided to hand over the auditions for the two films "Far Crying the Island" and "Smelling the Scent" to directors Jonathan Demi and Martin Bleist. He plans to let the two directors select less than ten candidate actors first and then conduct the third round of auditions, which will be much easier.
The only thing better than auditioning for various villains a few days ago is that today the role of Andy's encounter with the girl Yoyo on the bus is the third party who was teased by gay friends or fake gay friends to interfere in the pure and beautiful relationship between Andy and Sean.
Of course, this is just a joke. Although the two protagonists in "Dark War" are very cool, they are generally a tragic and cold story. If the cute guy "General Inspector of the Crime Team Huang Qifa" is the joy in the story, Yoyo is the warm color. A story, joy, anger, sorrow and happiness are all in everything, just like life.
Eric previously set the standard for this role was a beautiful woman aged 18 to 30 and a beautiful woman with a beautiful temperament in the workplace. Therefore, today's audition process must be very pleasing to the eye.
...
A girl walked out of the audition room and gently pulled the door. After turning around, she quickly closed the expression on her face. She ignored the various searching eyes in the corridor and walked towards the agent waiting not far away with her bag. The two of them whispered a few words before walking out.
The staff came out and pronounced another name. Another girl was called in. The next one was herself. Gwyneth Paltrow took out the makeup mirror in her bag and checked her makeup again.
She was born in 1972 and is only 17 years old this year. According to the standards set by Eric, Gwyneth could not even get an audition. However, this did not stump her because she knew Drew, who was close to Eric Williams, and their godfathers were Steven Spielberg.
That little Bichi was said to have been kept by Eric Williams, and it is becoming less and less powerful.
Gwyneth's father is a producer, and her mother is a well-known film and television actor. Her family is a hundred times better than Drew. She has looked down on Drew who is cute with a baby face since she was a child. Even at the Spielberg family party, Gwyneth rarely greets Drew. She prefers to get along with her peers with similar family conditions, so that she can help her future development.
However, when he learned that there was an opportunity to cooperate with big names such as Eric Williams, Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks, Gwyneth, who was about to enter Hollywood, was immediately moved.
If she could get this role, her career in Hollywood would start higher than those young actors who had been struggling for many years. So without hesitation, Gwyneth immediately contacted Drew, hoping that the other party could help her get an audition opportunity.
Although she was not close to Drew before, the two of them had no holiday. The little Bichi agreed after being coaxed by her few words. It was so easy to fool. No wonder she fell to the point of being raising her now. Gwyneth thought so contemptuously. Less than five minutes later, the girl who had just entered walked out with a look of loss.
All the actresses waiting in the corridor had their eyes lit up, and another competitor was missing.
"Next, Miss Gwyneth Paltrow."
Gwyneth quickly stood up, took a deep breath and adjusted her condition, walked into the audition room with a faint smile, and sat down on the chair. She looked confidently at the front, looking at the blonde young man sitting in the middle with his head lowered and writing something. That was Eric Williams, who was really handsome.
Gwyneth's heart beat faster a little, and she couldn't help but fantasize about whether the other party would invite her to have dinner together. Perhaps, she should refuse to be the one before, showing her reserve. Men will never cherish her when they get it too easily. She is quite confident in her appearance.
After more than ten seconds, the young man opposite raised his head and smiled on his face: "Hello, Miss Paltrow, let me introduce myself first."
During the brief eye exchange with the other party, Gwyneth saw that Eric Williams must have known her, which made her feel a little excited. It seemed that the little Bichi still had a role, at least the other party did not think he was a stranger.
"Hello everyone, my name is Gwyneth Paltrow, I am 17 years old and graduated from..."
After a brief introduction to himself, Eric asked: "Miss Paltrow, the information shows that you have never had any experience in films before. Why do you think you can get this role?"
Gwyneth's face was still smiling. She was just preparing for this question and answered calmly: "Because I was born in a family of performing arts, my mother is an actor. When I was very young, I began to help my mother with lines. In this situation of being influenced by the audience, I have always maintained a strong interest in acting. Since middle school, I have been a backbone of the school's drama club, participated in many famous stage plays, and accumulated rich acting experience."
After Gwyneth finished speaking, he saw several judges on the opposite side nodding at the same time.
"Miss Paltrow, do you believe in love at first sight?" Another question was raised by the opposite side.
Gwyneth was stunned for a moment, not knowing the intention of the other party to ask this question. As a Westerner who could easily spark hormonal sparks in his bones, Gwyneth still believed in love at first sight, but she felt that if she answered that way, would she seem to be very frivolous?
