MTL - I’m in Hollywood-Chapter 6 good news

Finalizing the publication of Jurassic Park, Eric spent all his spare time writing and editing the script for "Returning to Seventeen." "Returning to the age of seventeen" mainly expresses the discussion about family, love, friendship and life choices. Therefore, it is not inappropriate to apply it to this era, but the various geek elements and thumb cultures in previous movies are Need to be modified, after all, big brothers are still not popular, personal computers are also in the era of transistors.

Eric has modified Ned's settings into a successful entrepreneur, as well as a **** fan who likes to collect items from various movies. Of course, limited to the movies that have appeared in this era, the lines about the movie "Lord of the Rings" can only be modified into other movies, which is easy for Eric, who has a huge amount of movies in his mind.

After completing the script, Eric gave the script to Jeff as agreed. Ever since I saw Eric’s Jurassic Park, Jeff no longer underestimated the orphans left by this friend. After reading the script several times, I found some wrong details, such as the Kevin Federline's hippie T-shirt worn by the protagonist when he returned to school. Jeff was curious to ask Kevin Federline. who is it. Eric carefully searched the memory and found that the second sweetest of Britney, Britney, is still a 10-year-old Xiaozhengtai.

After modifying some of the vulnerabilities that Jeff found, Eric will soon hand over the script to Michael Krauss.

After completing a novel and a script, Eric did not rush to create a third piece of work, but began to practice basketball, especially in the movie to use fancy basketball, Eric has no foundation at all, so must start again Exercise.

There are a lot of basketball shots in the movie, although Zach Efron’s performances in previous movies are not brilliant, but a few scenes about basketball are still remarkable, especially in the student canteen using fancy basketball. The fragment of the bad boy Stan is impressive.

A week later, Eric, who practiced for two hours on the community basketball court, walked into the house with the action of fancy basketball, and heard the rushing phone ringing far away. In recent days, Eric has received a phone call from Michael, which is about the publication of Jurassic Park and the script of "Returning to the 17-year-old". The publication of Jurassic Park is very smooth. Eric can see the sample book, but "returning to seventeen" is not so lucky.

Although after reading the script, the film companies that received the script were all interested in the script, but after hearing the script writer insisting on the conditions of the male lead, most of the film companies gave up the script directly, which is actually quite normal. No one can easily take risks with tens of millions of dollars in investment. Eric even suggested that Michael should not look at the six major film companies, but also try those second-line film production companies.

"Hey, here is Williams." Eric picked up the phone and adjusted some of the quick breathing after the exercise.

"Hello, Eric, I am Michael."

Eric smiled without hesitation: "Michael, it’s almost ten o'clock in the evening. You must have a good news when you call this time?"

Michael at the other end of the phone couldn't help but complain: "Don't mention this, it's a hell, I made a lot of calls from eight o'clock, and you haven't picked it up."

"Oh, sorry, Michael. I went to the community playground to play basketball."

"Play basketball, wow, Eric, it seems that you are determined to win, I remember that there are quite a few basketball games in the script."

"Of course, I am still saying that I am working in a person, and I am in the sky. I am not only talking about basketball, but also practicing an hour of performance in the mirror every morning."

"Eric, I admire you a little, and few people will be willing to do so much preparations when things are completely unshaven. How about a day off tomorrow, let's go to a date."

Eric’s hand shook slightly, and the basketball that had been spinning on the right index finger fell to the ground, bouncing and making a few muffled sounds: “Is this... good news?”

"Of course, the lucky guy, I got a call from Mr. James Brooks of the 20th Century Fox. They are very optimistic about this script, and there is no direct rejection of your conditions, but you must pass the audition."

"This is really... thank you so much, Michael."

"You're welcome," Michael smiled across the floor. "Of course you have to understand that the other party's promise to audition is equivalent to recognizing your condition in disguise, but if you perform too badly when auditioning, you can only say sorry."

"Absolutely not, I am fully prepared."

Eric was excited all night, and the next morning, Eric drove to the agreed place with Michael Kraus.

“Here is the shooting base of the 20th Century Fox?” Eric looked at the huge studio-like warehouse on the wall, with a yearning in his eyes.

Michael closed the door and walked over. He stood next to Eric and looked up at the studio. "Yeah, it's spectacular? But Warner's studio base is more spectacular than this. Well, you must have seen it." I have the opportunity to visit the field."

In Eric’s mind, the familiar head of Warner’s movie appeared and nodded: “I will.”

The two followed a staff member to the door of an office. The guides knocked on the door and said a few words, so they asked two people to go in.

When I saw two people coming in, two men and a middle-aged man who was talking about what was in the office stood up and greeted him.

Michael Kraus stepped forward and shook hands with two people and then said: "James, Penny, this is Eric Williams. Eric, this is the producer James Brooks, this Is directed by Penny Marshall"

After the introduction, Michael Kraus smiled and said to Penny Marshall: "You may not know, Ms. Penny, a week ago, Eric also said that you may become the first box office in the history of the United States. The female director."

Eric first shook hands with James Brooks, and James just shook it with Eric and took back his left hand in less than a second.

Eric is keenly aware that this well-known producer does not seem to like himself very much. He understands what is going on with his thoughts. For the producers who are monopolized in the film production process, his self-recommended actor is definitely not happy. .

Didn't show any unreasonable look, Eric turned to Penny Marshall, a 40-year-old blonde white woman who was very fat, so although she was an actor at the same time, she played the role. a small set of actor's list that is not easy to find

"Hello, Ms. Penny, I really like your "flying over the future."

"Thank you for your appreciation, Eric." Penny Marshall didn't change much. With the continued release of "Flying Over the Future," everyone knows that the box office of this movie is already a must. In the week, the weekly box office of the film has not decreased, but has increased. This is the fourth week of the movie release. Many movies have been released at this time, and it is likely that they will be forced to go down because the attendance rate is too low.

After introducing each other, Eric found that James Brooks and Penny Marshall both looked at themselves with their own eyes. Obviously, if the cooperation is successful, James Brooks and Penny Marshall will return to the age of seventeen. Producer and director of 》. Eric was not nervous at all, just with a confident smile on his face, sitting down on the couch with Michael Krauss.

The beautiful female assistant came up with a few cups of coffee and quit the office.

James Brooks didn't drink coffee, but crossed it on the table and said: "Eric... Sir, your screenplay is really good, but you have to say that the conditions you have presented are a bit harsh. We I learned from Michael that you are just a high school student and have no performance experience. So we started to reject it, but Mr. Barry Diller accidentally saw your script. He liked the ideas expressed in this script. Deliberately approve your request, of course, you must pass the most basic audition. If you are qualified, you will also receive short-term performance training."

Eric nodded and agreed. I was a little surprised in my heart. I didn't expect my script to be approved by Barry Diller. Of course he knows who Barry Diller is, and former Disney CEO Michael Eisner and DreamWorks helmman Kasenberg have been just one of Barry Diller's assistants during Paramount's tenure.

Barry Diller has been in Hollywood for more than 30 years. From the rise of Paramount to the prosperity of the twentieth-century Fox, from the film industry to the global network to the structure of the television network, and the rise of the subsequent network media, they have left traces of his indelible.

I thought for a few seconds, until Michael Kraus licked himself, and Eric realized that he was in the office of James Brooks, and James Brooks had a faint dissatisfaction in his eyes.

From the very beginning, he was very resistant to Eric. In the process of making Hollywood movies, it is usually the producers who have the power to monopolize them. From the selection of roles to the editing of the post, the producers have the final say. Eric asked himself to star in the actor, which is undoubtedly a part of his deserved power.

"Sorry, everyone, I am distracted." Eric quickly apologized.

"It's okay, young people," James said, adding a slight tone to the word young man, and then said: "So, before we discuss other things, let's audition first."
