Chapter 462 Do You Regret?
"Brad Pitt is definitely not good. Although the schedule is barely scheduled, even if I agree, Fox will definitely do everything possible to stop this. "X Files" is one of the ace series of Fox TV," Eric said, laughing again, saying, "I suddenly understand why Liz and the others won't win you an Oscar nomination."
Famick Jansen showed a thoughtful expression and said, "I understand, too."
In addition to the little thoughts between women, Fox, who is responsible for the release of "The End of the Way", obviously also secretly tried to minimize the influence brought by Famick Jansen's "The End of the Way" to ensure that there will be no changes in the heroine of "X Files". For a TV series that has accumulated widespread popularity, the sudden change of the male and female protagonists will have a very big impact on the ratings. "X Files" in the original time and space directly led to the end of the American drama because the male lead David Duchoni withdraws.
Eric noticed that Famick Jansen's expression was a little depressed and asked, "Do you regret taking this TV series?"
regret?
Famick Jansen had just had this emotion. Like Brad Pitt, she signed five film contracts for "X Files" in advance, which means that if you want to restore your freedom, you will need to film for at least three more years. But three years later, if Fox thinks that "X Files" can continue to film, then what should you choose?
◇ For many TV series actors who have been finalized by small screens, it is difficult to make up their minds to enter the big screen from scratch when there is a popular TV series that can maintain popularity, and want to take into account both. It is unlikely that the TV series producers often don’t give them such opportunities unless the actor has strong support behind it.
Thinking of this, Famick Jensen couldn't help but look at Eric and suddenly smiled relieved. If it weren't for this man, maybe she was just a young actor struggling at the bottom of Hollywood. The day to stand out is far away, and maybe she would never stand out. He has given himself so much. What else can he ask for?
Eric kept paying attention to Famick Jansen's expression change. Seeing her smile, he said, "Think clearly."
"Yes," Famick Jansen stared at Eric, his calf swinged gently, kicked off the slippers on his feet, and rubbed it against Eric's knees.
Eric reached out and pressed his restless calves. Looking from bottom to top, Famick Jansen's two straight long legs looked longer: "Are you seducing me?"
"Yes, so. What are you waiting for?" Famick Jansen said, holding the table with both hands and leaning back.
Eric spread the two long legs on his knees apart. He stood up and put his arms around the girl's waist, pulled Famick Jansen to the center of the desk, and pressed it up without hesitation.
"Be gentle, don't tear my clothes, um..."
Feeling the thorny sound of the brand new black bright leather jacket, Famick Jansen softened helplessly. When Eric pulled off her trousers and entered, the girl couldn't help but lift her long legs and clamped them to Eric's waist.
Then, use force.
"Ah, I remembered it," Eric felt a sense of suffocation on his waist, and suddenly said, "I remembered it."
Famick Jansen subconsciously let go of the force between his legs, opened his narrowed eyes, and looked at Eric: "What?"
"I think of who is the best actor in "Mr. Smiths"?"
"At this time, you actually think of others, and... man, don't you think this is hurtful?" Famick Jansen twisted his waist and beat Eric's back with his back.
"Oh, sorry, baby, I was wrong," Eric quickly smiled and pressed up again.
...
In the conference room, Peter Cooper's deputy, Qiang Peters, waved the information in his hand, and said almost hysterically: "Pierce Brosnan? Eric, are you kidding? This guy used to be just a TV drama actor and only appeared in a few low-cost movies. Where can such people get the box office appeal? Don't forget, what we are talking about now is a big production movie with an investment of $60 million, $60 million!"
"Mr. Peters, can you calm down?" Eric looked at the grumpy middle-aged man sitting opposite the conference table with some disgust.
Peter Guber, who was sitting next to Qiang Peters, also secretly pulled the other party. Qiang Peters then calmed down. Although he realized his loss of composure, Qiang Peters had no intention of apologizing. He leaned on the chair like a scoundrel, picked up his hands, looking like he was not planning to cooperate.
Eric, who was originally planning to explain the reason to enable Pierce Brosnan, saw that the other party looked like this, completely lost his patience and said coldly: "Mr. Peters, if you have no confidence in the project "Smiths", you can declare your withdrawal now. If this movie fails in the future, I promise you will not be responsible."
Since he became the president of Columbia, few people have spoken to him in this tone. Even the executives of Sony headquarters were polite to him. Listening to Eric's almost scolding tone, Peters almost broke out, but fortunately he still has some rationality. If he is separated from "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", it is indeed as Eric said. If the film fails, he will not bear any responsibility, but if the film succeeds, the credit will not be as small as him.
Qiang Peters was silent for a moment, finally lowered his voice and said with some weakness: "Mr. Williams, I just hope you understand what you are doing."
"Thank you for your reminder," Eric replied faintly, turned his head and ordered the person beside him. The other party took out a box of videotapes, stood up and walked towards the projector in front of the conference room.
"This is a videotape of Mr. Pierce Brosnan, you can take a look first."
Eric said, the staff member had plugged the videotape into the projector.
In the simple audition room, there is a dining table.
Nicole held a glass of champagne in her hand and sat alone at the dining table in a little lonely manner. A tear came out from the corner of her eyes. Nicole reached out to wipe it, took a deep breath, as if she wanted to dispel the sadness in her heart.
At this moment, one hand gently held Nicole's raised goblet and added some champagne to Nicole's glass.
As if realizing something, Nicole lowered her head and smiled, as if she was still choking.
Everyone present was attracted by the acting skills and style shown by Nicole, and at the same time they became curious about the performance of the male protagonist.
"Ms. I thought of something for this moment."
The man who poured the wine finally appeared in the camera, wearing a neat suit, handsome national face, and a cynical smile on his lips: "I think I should suddenly appear, and then say, baby, thank you for your gift."
If all the men in the conference room were fascinated by Nicole's performance just now, Pierce Brosnan's appearance was elegant and captured the attention of all the women present in just a few seconds.
"Very good, then. What's your decision?" Nicole raised her head and looked at the man beside her with a smile.
"I'm going to divorce you," Pierce Brosnan said, walking across the dining table, pulling out the chair, and asking politely: "Can I sit down?"
"No," Nicole replied.
As if he hadn't heard Nicole's words, Pierce Brosnan sat down on his own, reached into his suit with one hand, took out a pistol, and covered his knees with napkins. At the same time, Nicole also made defensive moves.
The camera returned to the faces of the two people. At this time, everyone in the conference room could almost feel the spark of tit-for-tat between men and women across the dining table.
...
The audition ends at the moment when Pierce Brosnan pulls Nicole toward the dance floor, the video ends, and everyone in the conference room falls into a brief silence.
Although it was not stated explicitly, Carsonberg, who came to attend this project seminar, thoughts in his mind were similar to those of Colombia. He also felt that Eric chose a male lead who was not very famous, which seemed a bit hasty.
However, Katzenberg was not as obsessed with the box office appeal of stars like the two helmsmen in Colombia, and ignored other factors. Seeing the audition just now, Katzenberg also realized that Pierce Brosnan was almost impeccable, noticed a little embarrassing silence in the conference room. Katzenberg knew that he would do something at this time, so he gently clapped. After the silence was broken, the others in the conference room also clapped.
Eric smiled and nodded at Carsonberg. Although he could make everything tough, he would be much smoother in making the film with recognition from others. Now Carsonberg takes the lead in applauding. Even if others don’t agree with it in their hearts, they will have much less original concerns because of herd mentality. The male protagonist Pierce Brosnan is almost the same as making a decision.
Speaking of Pierce Brosnan, Eric couldn't help but think of the night a few days ago, and couldn't help but smile. If it weren't for the accidental small action of Famick Jensen, he wouldn't have remembered the actor who played the fifth generation of 007 in the original time and space. In the first 007 work starring Pierce Brosnan, Famick Jensen played the villain Bon girl, and one of the tricks of the Soviet female killer played by Famick Jensen was to use his slender and beautiful legs to pinch the man to death.
Although Pierce Brosnan is not very famous now, Eric is optimistic about the prospects of "Mrs. Smiths". In the original time and space, the first 007 starring Pierce Brosnan, who was also not very famous, was twice as high as the previous one, and 007 is very similar to John Smith's setting in "Mrs. Smith".
After the applause fell, Eric said: "Since everyone has no objection, then the hero is determined to be Pierce Brosnan. Let's discuss other issues next."
...
After the male lead was confirmed, all three most important creators of "Mrs. Smiths" were finalized, and the project began to progress quickly. A few days before the Oscars, Disney and Columbia also held a press conference for "Mrs. Smiths". Although the press conference was very lively, except for introducing several film creators to the outside world, the crew did not disclose more things. The only thing that can be used to guess is the movie poster revealed at the press conference.
On the poster, Nicole and Pierce Brosnan stood with their backs facing each other. Nicole was holding a delicate little pistol on her thigh exposed from her long skirt, while Pierce Brosnan was holding a famous desert eagle in her hand.
On the second day of the press conference, various speculations about "Mr. Smiths" appeared in the newspaper. Most newspapers tended to be another romantic film that Eric was good at. Although guns were revealed on the poster, this did not hinder everyone's speculation. After all, although Eric's movies do not have a fixed style, the most successful and famous ones so far are all romantic films. Moreover, the title of "Mr. Smiths" seems to imply these.
However, not everyone tends to be this point of view. Some media quickly focused their attention on the unfamiliar Hong Kong director Wu Baige. After some exploration, the media also found that Wu Baige's most famous in Hong Kong is the director's gunfight film, and a pistol happened to appear on the movie poster. So, the theme of the film seems to be self-evident.
Whether Disney or Columbia, there is no explanation for the speculation and debate in the media, because many senior executives of Hollywood film companies know that the success or failure of a movie, especially the success or failure of a commercial movie, is closely related to the topic of the movie between the media and the public. Many movies do not have the better reputation, the higher the box office, but the higher the topic among the audience, the better the box office will be. No matter whether these topics are positive or negative, therefore, when the public has a strong interest, it is definitely the best way to remain silent and let the media discuss it.
There was no news from the film company, so the two male and female protagonists in the film became the targets of paparazzi. Of course, the paparazzi did not mean to let Wu Baige go.
After a period of controversy, Nicole and Pierce Brosnan quickly entered the "Agent School" specially set up for Hollywood actors according to the crew's arrangements to learn how to use various guns involved in the film. The crew of "Mr. Smiths" was quickly formed. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
