One and a half months of high-intensity and intense shooting, especially the one month after the location shooting, the actors were a little better, but dozens of staff members in the crew were exhausted. Therefore, the celebration carnival after the mirror was suddenly relaxed due to the long-term pressure, and the party hall was noisy, and from time to time, people would make a few loud ghost calls.

Eric just laughed at this situation. After all, everyone has been suppressed for a month, and it is understandable that he is a little out of character now. Most of the actors in "Dark War" have received invitations to the party, and several starring actors have also come to the party scene.

However, after seeing the chaotic scene, Cruise, who holds his identity, stayed for less than twenty minutes and said goodbye and left. Although he was from the bottom of the class, Cruise has now automatically classified himself as a group of people at the top of the pyramid, and of course it is impossible to play with this group of crew members. Some older crew members and actors have also said goodbye and left one after another. With Eric's psychological age, he really cannot enjoy this kind of carnival party, but as the director of "Secret War", he had to stay.

In the whole hall, Eric is the youngest. Although Eric shows a very oppressive feeling when he sniffs his face on the set, he still looks like a harmless young man in other situations. In addition, the crew members are familiar with Eric's personality and know that he is a person who can afford to joke, so he naturally becomes the object of everyone's joking.

After being filled with several bottles of beer for various reasons, Eric left the crowd in the name of urination and walked out of the banquet hall toward the bathroom at the end of the corridor. When he came out, he happened to see Brooke Xiaosi coming out of the bathroom opposite, and was waving his hands with a tissue.

"Hi, Brooke," Eric smiled and greeted, "Is it fun to have fun?"

Brooke Xiaosi then showed a sweet smile: "It's okay, although it's a bit noisy." As the most beautiful woman at the party, Brooke Xiaosi naturally became the target of everyone's attention. Brooke Xiaosi also enjoyed this kind of sought after feeling, but Eric's attitude towards her has always been neither salty nor light.

After seeing Eric say hello and turning around and leaving, Brooke Xiaosi quickly stuffed the tissue in her hand into the trash can, followed in a few steps, and reached out to pull Eric.

"Broke, is there anything wrong?" Eric turned around.

Brooke Xiaosi hesitated for a moment before saying, "I just want to say thank you to you, Eric, thank you for giving me the character Yoyo."

This thank you is not polite at all. Since Brooke Xiaosi was revealed to join the heroine of "Dark War", although many media have made the case for her being nominated for the Golden Plum Award several times in a row, implying that she could not win this role with her strength. There must be some inside story, but it is an indisputable fact that Brooke Xiaosi's popularity has risen again. The media's attention to her has increased rapidly. Paparazzi appeared around her again when she went out. This situation has not happened for many years. The last time she was a few years ago when she had a close relationship with Michael Jackson. More importantly, this attention can bring her actual economic benefits. During this period, she has received several invitations to endorsement of advertising.

"It's nothing, Brooke, you performed very well in "Dark War". I believe that after the movie is released, your character image will definitely leave a deep impression on the audience."

"So," Brooke Xiaosi looked at Eric's praise and asked, "Eric, will we have a chance to work together again in the future?"

"This..." Eric hesitated for a moment. He didn't expect the girl to ask so bluntly. If you tell the truth, you must not cooperate with you anymore. However, Eric will definitely not say this kind of hurtful words: "Broke, you have to understand that this requires the right opportunity."

Brooke Xiaosi's expression quickly faded, and Chuchu's expression made any man feel a little embarrassed when he saw it. He was simply a fairy.

Eric looked at the girl's expression and even felt a sense of guilt. After thinking about it, he tentatively comforted him: "Broke, I think you should focus on independent movies next, and first select a few more excellent scripts to hone your acting skills."

After Brooke Xiaosi started acting in movies at the age of twelve, until she won the role of "Dark War", she has basically been wandering in the independent film circle for more than ten years. She has long understood that circle. If she wants to stand out from the independent film circle, the most important thing is to have extraordinary acting skills and win some substantial film awards with her acting skills, and then she can enter the mainstream film circle with this.

But this path is simply not working for her, because she is so beautiful, and even if she has a little acting skills, it will be covered up by her face and devilish figure. What's more, she doesn't have that kind of acting skills. Even if she returns to the independent film circle, she can only play a role in a vase, and there is no chance to make a comeback.

Brooke Xiaosi certainly understood that even if she wanted to play a vase, she should play a vase in a big production movie. Even a supporting role vase in a big production can gain greater influence than the protagonists in a small production.

Unfortunately, although Brooke Xiaosi is a little famous, she is just a more beautiful star, which is not enough to arouse the interest of mainstream Hollywood film circles. There are many actresses in this circle who are both beautiful and acting. Few major films dare to invite her, a vase nominated by Jin Luomei several times, to take risks. Eric can be regarded as the first director who dares to "try the crab" in recent years.

"Eric, I know my strength. If I return to the independent film circle, I will never be able to make a comeback. You... do you have time tomorrow? Maybe I can treat you to a meal and express my gratitude."

"No need, Brooke," Eric said his refusal, noting the girl's embarrassing look, and quickly added: "To be honest, after "The Secret War" was released, I believe that with the influence of your role, you will definitely receive many movie appointments. As long as you can carefully select scripts, even if you participate in the vase role of a few movies, as long as the movie sells, you will definitely be among the A-level actresses, so you don't have to put your hopes on me at all."

Brooke Xiaosi was originally very disappointed with Eric's rejection, but after hearing Eric's last few words, she became enlightened again. Although the girl was not very smart, she could still figure out these things. If "Dark War" made her popular, she really didn't have to go back and make any small-cost movies.

"Then, Eric, I still want to thank you," Brooke Xiaosi thought about this matter and finally showed a satisfied look, as if the series of lost expressions just now had never appeared on her face. After the girl said that, her beautiful eyes blinked twice, and suddenly stepped forward and held Eric's shoulder and kissed him gently. Seeing Eric's expression a little stunned because of his sudden sneak attack, the girl showed a bright smile and turned to walk towards the banquet hall.

Eric touched the corner of his mouth, shook his head and laughed, and walked towards the banquet hall.

"Eric, I've been there for so long, can't I have met you?" Seeing Eric appear, Tom Hanks walked up and handed a glass of champagne to Eric, and said to Brooke Xiaosi, who was chatting with someone not far away with a joking look.

Eric took the champagne and took a sip, showing a smile that you understood.

Hanks also smiled badly. The two of them looked disgusted for a few moments. Hanks stopped his expression a little, and if he continued to joke, he would be misunderstood: "Eric, do you have any eyebrows in my next movie? I'm waiting."

As he said that, Hanks stretched out five fingers and shook her eyes for a moment, as if reminding him not to forget the promise of the five movies with a box office of over 100 million yuan. In the previous agreement, Eric did not count "Dark War" among the five movies.

"The script has been available for a long time," Eric said. "After completing the post-dubbing of "Dark War", you can prepare."

Hanks is also a workaholic, especially in recent years, he has taken on two or three movies every year, which is definitely a hardworking person in the actor circle. When he heard Eric's words, Hanks also became energetic: "Can you tell me about the plot first?"

"Let's talk about it," Eric pointed to the sofa in the corner. Just now, a man and a woman just left from there and walked towards the dance floor. Hanks nodded and the two walked over.

"This is also a romantic comedy called "Sleeping in Seattle" and it was a script I thought of when I went to New York."

"Romantic love comedy?" Hanks hesitated and touched his face. Hanks was a little handsome a few years ago, and it was reasonable to star in romantic love comedy, but after he was thirty years old, Hanks now basically has nothing to do with the word "Shi".

"Eric, do you think my image is suitable for this kind of movie?"

"Don't worry, this is not a romantic romantic comedy between ordinary young men and women," Eric explained. "You'll play a single father in the movie."

"Single father?"

"Okay, don't interrupt, Tom, can you listen to me finish the plot?"

"OK!" Hanks raised his hand.

Eric then said: "The story is this. After his wife died of illness, the infatuated Sam always couldn't forget his wife for a long time, so he decided to leave Chicago, sadly, and moved to Seattle with his eight-year-old son Jonah. A year later, his son Jonah called a radio emotional hotline to the United States, hoping to find a new wife for his father who has not yet walked out of the shadow of his wife. By chance, this emotional call connected the Sam's family with a woman named Anne far away in New York. Although Anne was engaged, she was moved by Sam's infatuation and couldn't help but write a letter to Sam. The letter fell into Sam's son Jonah. Jonah felt that Anne was very compatible with her father, so she took the initiative to reply to her father to make an appointment for her love | The two will meet on the top floor of the Empire State Building in New York on People's Day."

"Golden and Jade Alliance?" After listening to Eric's narrative, Hanks blurted out.

Eric nodded: "There will be many scenes in this movie that will pay tribute to "The Golden Jade Alliance."

"Eric, according to what you said, will the story of this movie appear to be a little simpler?"

Eric smiled and spread his hands: "Tom, I'm just telling you a story. This is a standard high-concept movie. The story is simple and clear, and even some clichés are the main characteristics of high-concept movies. If a movie wants to sell well, it must first have a simple and clear storyline. The rest depends on the strength of the director and actors."
