Eric was really curious, and asked the girl, "How did you coax her over?"
Drew giggled and said: "Rachel is crazy, how can I use it to coax, until the beginning of this year, we are still looking for candidates for the beginning character," Titanic "Box Office broke out, I hit Call Rachel, she is very interested, and then she is sure. "
Eric also remembered the anecdote of Rachel · Weisz that Carolyn once said. Such a sturdy girl who likes to open large displacement Jaguar Kings will never be as ladylike in appearance.
Suddenly remembered something, Eric said again: "Rachel agreed, her manager must be mad?"
Rachel has just been promoted to a top-tier actress with "Titanic", but hasn't had time to go further, but suddenly ran to a horror film, not to mention the issue of value. This kind of image contrast may affect popularity if not paid attention.
"Yeah, they are so angry that they call me even Kapoor, so I do n’t want to be so messed up."
"The result is still taken?"
"Well, Rachel is also very angry. She said that she did n’t want to be a puppet that was left to manager, and then she shot."
Eric smiled, but didn't care too much.
This is just a wayward guest appearance. The crew of "Scream2" will certainly not subvert the image of Rachel too much. Apart from a gimmick, the possibility of any negative impact is not too great.
After a few simple chats, Eric turned to the Madonna sitting next to him. After all, the other party was a guest, and he could n’t be too indifferent: "Maggie, what are you doing?"
Madonna leaned lazily on the single sofa, holding a coffee cup, and seemed to listen to the conversation between Eric and Drew with great interest. He replied: "I, I am very leisurely, so, Eric, Do you think Firefly has a movie suitable for me? "
Madonna is definitely one of the most favorite people in the singer circle to join the Hollywood. Not only is she frustrated in all kinds of bad films that ca n’t even enter the theater line, but also regularly flirts with Hollywood filmmakers.
Last year ’s "Mrs. Belon" can be said to be Madonna ’s best-known movie. At the beginning, this project almost fell into the hands of Firefly. Just considering the quality of Madonna ’s previous works, the production department rejected the lead team 55 million USD. Budget, and finally failed to reach cooperation. Later, it also proved the correctness of this decision. Although "Mrs. Belon" won both Golden Globe Award and Oscar, its North America Box Office was only 50 million, and Warner Bros., which took over this project, still lost a little.
Eric remembered Madonna ’s string of plums, and immediately shook her head in a daze: "I think it ’s better for you to focus on singing."
"Eric, your words are really hurtful," Madonna squinted at Eric, there was no real anger in her tone. Although she seemed very arrogant and even narcissistic in the eyes of outsiders, it was definitely not true The kind of person without self-knowledge.
After talking for a while, Madonna really mentioned the songwriting.
Eric got up and said: "Actually I wrote it when I was in New York, come with me."
Madonna stood up with excitement immediately, but the girl did not follow up, waved her hand at Eric, the whole person was lying on the sofa lazily, picked up the remote control and turned on the wall-mounted TV not far away.
Eric took Madonna to the door of the lower study, hesitated, and remembered that there was nothing that needed to be kept secret on the study board at this time, so he opened the door.
Like Eric walked down the stairs to the study, Madonna and many visitors who came in for the first time were astonished at the huge writing board that occupied the entire wall.
A lot of Iron Man armor drawings are attached to the writing board with magnets at this time, and there are some notes handwritten by Eric next to them.
Madonna could n’t help but walked to the writing board and browsed the Iron Man drawings that had been rendered in full color and metallic texture, and admired: “Are these all Iron Man, really cool.”
The comic images of Iron Man are actually very rough, so even people who often read comics will inevitably feel amazed when they see these realistic drawings.
Eric walked next to Madonna, also looking at the drawings adhered to the writing board, nodded: "Yeah, when the movie is made, the effect will be even cooler."
"I really look forward to seeing these in the movie, Eric, will you personally be the Director this time?"
"No, but I will be responsible for the production."
Madonna browsed more than ten drawings with interest, and asked curiously about it before coming to the piano in the corner with Eric.
Eric sat down on the chair and handed over the written score and lyrics: "Nà, you take a look first."
Madonna did n’t sit down next to her, took the folder that Eric handed over, leaned against the piano and could n’t wait to open it.
"" When-we-come-alive ", it's a bit rocky to see the name," Madonna just subconsciously commented.
This was originally an electronic rock. Eric also listened to the main sample "Ray-of-light" sent by Madonna and also had a strong rock style. I only thought of this song, so I took it after a slight modification. come out. In the future, after the arrangement, the style of the entire song will definitely be more suitable for Madonna's new album, but these are not the things that Eric needs to worry about. Madonna's hands are the professional team.
Nodded, Eric replied: "Yeah, it's connected to the" Light "that you are going to make as the main title, which is ..."
"When we are alive, it shines brightly."
Madonna immediately took it over, with a little more excitement in her expression, saying: "This is really ambitious, but I like it."
However, after watching the entire song and roughly humming it again, Madonna looked straight up at Eric and said: "Eric, although this song is great, it seems not as stunning as those you used to be Oh?"
Eric does n’t mind Madonna ’s direct, spreading hands, explaining: “Maggie, this is the limitation of the style of your album itself, I ca n’t always make a round cookie with a square mold. "
The album Madonna is building is completely different from her previous style of pop music. It is full of strong electronic music elements and combines a variety of styles such as classical, rock, and bass. To put it plainly, it is actually an experiment. Sexual mashup album. When Eric listened to the sample music sent by Madonna, it really did not feel much, and it was even less likely to collect stunning works of similar style from memory.
Frankly, Eric feels that the entire album is mediocre.
However, he happened to remember that the album "The Light" was once rated as one of Madonna's best albums in her personal music career. This may be like a top Cantonese cook suddenly making a table Szechuan food inevitably gives a sense of freshness.
Whether it is Actor or a singer, a sudden change in style after a long period of invariability often results in good reviews.
Due to the sudden change of the previous style, Madonna actually did not expect anything from this album, but her original path has reached a dead end, which has to be changed.
Listening to Eric, Madonna thought he was not too optimistic about this album.
However, Madonna asked with a hint of anticipation: "Eric, how do you like this album?"
Eric smiled and said: "Do you want to hear the truth?"
Madonna gave him a white look: "consider as finished, just tell me something to make me happy."
"Okay, no kidding," Eric said seriously: "Although your album does not meet my personal taste at all, the possibility of success is still very large. Even, this may become your music career. Another pinnacle. "
Madonna excitedly and expectantly raised the eyebrow: "Are you serious?"
"Of course," Eric nodded: "First of all, the popularity you have accumulated over the years is still very strong, which is the biggest foundation for the success of this album. Second, people are always full of freshness about change, this album It happens to cater to this kind of public preference. Finally, with this song I gave you, I think you will definitely not let go of such promotional gimmicks, right? So, I bet this album global The sales volume can at least reach 15 million sheets, as for whether it can impact 20 million, then it depends on your luck. "
15 million Zhang, 20 million Zhang, really, these are very distant things for Madonna.
Her last album that sold global exceeded 10 million was all seven years ago. In recent years, the album sales have only been a few million, although this number is still unprecedented for those second- and third-line singers. That is, for her, it can only be described as failure.
If others just said that, Madonna might just be happy as a compliment. But as Eric said, she believed a little almost immediately, so the whole person seemed a little excited. As an ambitious woman, she was never willing to be so quiet.
In addition to being excited, Madonna's "nature" was revealed, and she put her hands on the shoulders of Eric and began to forcefully: "Then, Eric, what do you want to gamble?"
Eric stepped back in the swivel chair and moved away from Madonna ’s body that he wanted to sit on his lap, shaking his head: "Stop, Maggie, I do n’t want to bet anything."
"Then I will concede defeat directly," Madonna said, leaning closer, her hands slipping from the shoulders of Eric to his chest, as if she wanted to unbutton his shirt.
Eric saw that the fairy could not hold back the goblin. He stretched out his hands to hold each other ’s wrists. The body stepped back a bit. Madonna ’s hands were restrained by Eric, her body lost support, and she fell to Eric.
Release Madonna ’s hands, Eric presses the woman who is struggling to get up, and squeezes the well-maintained face, the tone is very disgustingly coldly said: "In this case, you use your mouth, I can barely Accept. "
Madonna looked up and saw Eric ’s predominant eyes, feeling the power of the big hands on her cheeks. The humiliation in the other party ’s words not only did not make her feel angry, but felt soft all over, almost trembling and murmured: "Oh, Eric Williams, you are really a bastard."
......
After more than a month of busy work, the model originally located in Mexico Rosarito’s Titanic has been fully shipped back and completed in the Firefly cinema.
Because Cameron spent a lot of money at the beginning, it almost completely copied a large amount of furniture, carpets, curtains and even tableware and other supplies inside Titanic, and it was extremely quick to re-arrange. At this time, the first-class banquet hall in the Titanic model has been renovated. The celebration of "Titanic" global Box Office breakthrough 1.8 billion USD will be held in the banquet hall of the ship.
The time is already in the evening, and guests attending celebration party are coming one after another.
Eric and Cameron and Katzenberg stood side by side on the lookout deck outside the ship ’s cabin, which is the position that Captain Titanic once occupied in the film.
The big ship happens to be east-west, facing the Marina del Rey not far away, and occupies a large area of the northeast corner of the studio. This is naturally the result of Cameron ’s insistence, otherwise the hull must definitely follow the overall direction of the studio to the northeast. Slanted rectangular pattern.
However, it is precisely this kind of perseverance. At this time, it is the time when the sky is full of fire and the sky. The view from the fence looks unusually magnificent. The three-meter high wall of the cinema and the low buildings in the outer area are impossible. Blocking the view on the deck, you can see the dense yachts in Marina del Rey and the sparkling sea level beyond.
“Eric, look, I ’ll say that the best way to build the view is,” Cameron was a little bit rejoicing, leaning on the railing to look at the guests on the lower deck of the bow that imitated the classic poses of Jack and Rose, and continued: "I also plan to create a booth area inside the boiler room. It is better to be able to copy the huge drive shaft again, just need to invest in 2 million USD, you know, we also keep the original props. However, Jeffrey wants the cabin The interior can be converted into a warehouse, Oh, can you imagine that Titanic turned into a warehouse. "
Eric smiled at the helpless Katzenberg and said: "Jeffrey also hopes that this model can be used as much as possible, Jim, you have to know that if it is not practical at all, maybe, after some years, We had to dismantle this model, it occupies a large area after all. "
Cameron saw that Eric did not turn to himself this time, so he retorted: "Aren't these restaurants, banquet halls and souvenir shops enough?"
"Of course these are enough, but the boiler room is consider as finished, Jim, people will not be interested in these."
Cameron is still not reconciled, saying: "Before this film was released, many people also felt that people would not be interested in such a movie."
"..."
The two parties negotiated a bit, and Eric finally agreed that Cameron could build a small exhibition hall, but most of the bottom area will still be used as a storage warehouse in the cinema.
After all, the huge hull of more than 270 meters is almost equivalent to the length of the four studios in the studio. If it is not used, it is really as Eric said. It is likely to have to be demolished in the future. (To be continued.)
