Chapter 310 This Is a Misunderstanding

? After Robert Shea said this, there was a brief silence between the two, staring at each other without giving each other their eyes. After a while, Eric first avoided Robert Shea's eyes. . Shea had a triumphant smile on her face.

"Okay, Robert, if you insist." Eric's voice was slightly hoarse, and his tone became a little lower.

When Robert Shea heard Eric say this, he let out a laugh that he thought was very hearty, stretched out his hand slightly, and seemed to want to pat Eric on the shoulder, but there was a conference table between them, Robert Shay said. Shay's move certainly couldn't be successful.

"Eric, don't do this, you have to believe me, in Hollywood, money is the most important thing, if there is no money, everything is empty talk, and the distribution channel is not built in a day or two, look at other movies now A company that is not decades old."

Robert Shea was stunned, then nodded: "Yes, Eric, I think..."

Eric was not in the mood to listen to Robert Shea's reason. Hearing Robert Shea say this, he said directly: "If this is the case, then this project will be cancelled."

Robert Shea opened his mouth: "What, take... cancel, but has Jeffrey started casting from time to time?".

"I mean canceled from the company's production plan this year," Eric raised his head: "If this movie is made, it will indeed have a lot of trouble in grading. So. To avoid risks. The seven major companies pull investment, and I personally reinvest part of it and set up a separate shell company to operate."

Robert Shea has been in Hollywood for 20 years. How could he not understand what Eric meant by saying this? He really didn't like the script "Instinct", but he didn't object too strongly.

In doing so, Eric now separates the production of the film from Firefly. So if this film is successful in the future, neither the copyright nor the income will have anything to do with Firefly, which means it has nothing to do with him.

How could Robert Shea not understand that this was Eric's counterattack against his actions just now. He had just been 'willful'. As a major shareholder, Eric had more willful capital.

After a moment of psychological distress, Robert Shea said, "Eric, although I'm not very optimistic, I'm not against it..."

"According to the current plan. We will release the "Sleeping with the Enemy" that you are in charge of in the summer, and the "Silence of the Lambs" by TG Films.

We co-publish with Disney. I think that Firefly shouldn’t be able to come up with too many resources to release “Instinct”, so it is also a good choice to separate this project, and it can also avoid risks. "

After thinking about it for a while, Robert Shea gritted his teeth, he didn't believe that Eric would continue to succeed, so soon, Robert Shea nodded: "Okay, Eric, just press you Do what you say."

In fact, even if Robert Shea disagreed, Eric planned to do it.

In the previous life, the box office of "Instinct" was just over 100 million US dollars. Regardless of word of mouth or box office, it can't be compared with "Ghost Love" and "Silence of the Lambs", perhaps even "Sleeping with the Enemy".

However, in the case of Robert Shea's insistence on handing over "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" to Disney, Eric had to make a certain response, which made Robert Shea have some scruples. Otherwise, Eric can be sure that Robert Shea will continue to make progress.

"Then, I'll go to work first," Hearing Robert Shea's answer, Eric nodded, stood up and left the conference room.

After Robert Shay waited for Eric to leave, he raised his mouth proudly, drank the coffee in front of him, and then slowly got up and left.

...

On the Santa Monica Mountains north of Malibu, in a forest, a crew of dozens of people are busy busy, and all kinds of camera equipment are everywhere.

This is the filming set of "The Archives". Although the stories in "The Archives" take place in major states in the United States, it is impossible to run around during the filming. Instead, the scenes are shot around Los Angeles, or set up in the studio to shoot. Only If it is unavoidable, I will go to the corresponding state to pick up some exterior scenes, and then synthesize them through editing.

Muller and Scully drove a black Ford sedan through the small highway among the trees. Muller and Scully were chatting leisurely, when the radio in the car suddenly turned into a strange zzz. There was chaos, and Mueller quickly stopped the car.

"Ka, this shot is over, Raymond, quickly remove the camera from the car, Brad, Fami, you can rest for a while," director Kim Manners shouted to the crowd with a loudspeaker in his hand. The staff quickly got busy.

Brad Pitt and Famke Janssen also heard the director's words, and got out of the car talking and laughing. Brad Pitt took a bottle of water from the logistics and handed it to Famke Jan graciously. Sen, the girl thanked her with a smile and took it.

"Hey, Fami, we're going to get off work in two hours, how about going clubbing together at night?" Brad Pitt, seeing that the girl was in a good mood, issued an invitation at the right time.

Famke Jensen hesitated for a while, although he had a good feeling for Brad Pitt after getting along these days, and even when the two were walking together, a photo was taken by the paparazzi and published in the newspaper.

But another figure always flashed in the girl's mind. She knew very well how she got the heroine. At that time, the little man gave her this role among a lot of powerful competitors. A newcomer without any acting experience, in fact, the meaning is already obvious, he has a crush on himself. The girl knew that she had signed the actor contract, which meant that she had acquiesced in certain things.

I thought Eric Williams would soon invite her, but she just got the role not long ago. Eric Williams was caught in a storm. There's nothing left of the matter.

Plus Brad Pitt's tireless dedication. Famke Jensen felt that getting along with this man was not bad. Brad Pitt was gentle and considerate, and he was very good at coaxing women. Famke Jensen slowly began to be moved.

"Maybe he has forgotten himself."

The girl thought so in her heart, she hadn't done anything for a few months, and the other party was obviously a playboy, how could there be a lack of women around the playboy. Maybe he was just an inconspicuous passerby beside him.

Beautiful women are always proud, so these thoughts inevitably make the girl feel a little bit frustrated, even more so than when she signed the actor contract for this role.

"I think, maybe, okay," Famke Jansen thought for a while, then nodded slightly.

Brad Pitt smiled even brighter: "By the way, do you have a bar you often go to?".

Famke Jensen shook his head: "Sorry. I used to live in New York, you can just pick one."

"No problem." Brad Peter nodded.

The two were about to continue talking when a car drove directly into the crew, and Hans Whittle, one of the producers of "The Archives", got out of the car, looked around, and saw the two gathered together. Personally, he walked over with a slight frown.

"Hey, Hans, why are you here?" Before Hans Whittle walked in front of the two, director Kim Manners greeted them.

Hans Whittle smiled and shook hands with Kim Manners, then pointed to Brad Pitt and Famke Janssen: "I'm looking for them."

"What's the matter?" Kim Manners asked.

Hans Whittle shrugged helplessly: "Mr. Williams is looking for them."

"Mr. Williams..." Kim Manners was stunned for a while, and quickly reflected that it was time to be called by Hans Whittle, only Eric Williams was alone: ​​"What's the matter? thing?".

Hans Whittle shoved a newspaper into Kim Manners' hands: "Read it for yourself."

At this time, Brad Pitt and Famke Janssen also walked over together. When they saw the newspaper that Hans Whittle had given to Kim Manners, both of them were stunned. That edition of the newspaper was stunned. Apparently it's a photo of the two of them together.

Brad Pitt knew very well that Hans Whittle was the producer of the Firefly Company. He felt a bad feeling in his heart. He would not be so unlucky. , The situation where he was embarrassedly kicked out of the crew because he accosted a heroine of the TV series.

Although he hated Eric very much at the time, things slowly passed, Eric became more and more dazzling, and he became more and more insignificant. A person will envy and hate those who are a step or two ahead of themselves, but usually do not feel this way about those who are far ahead of themselves.

Although Eric was much younger than him, Brad Pitt didn't have much negative emotions towards Eric, instead he was a little more in awe.

When the crew was first established, he was worried that Famke Jensen might be Eric's woman, so he didn't have any idea at first, but as time went on, Brad Pitt discovered that Famke Jensen might be Eric's woman. Jensen didn't seem to have any connection with Eric, so he was relieved to pursue it.

But now, he found himself miscalculated again.

Glancing at Famke Jensen beside him, Brad Pitt really wanted to slap himself. This woman had no previous acting experience and was able to be selected from a large number of auditions. The ghost believed it was due to luck.

Since it's not luck, there must be other reasons. And the male and female protagonists of "The Archives" were all made by Eric Williams himself, so this "other reason" is more obvious.

Kim Manners glanced at Brad Pitt and Famke Janssen walking side by side in the newspaper, as well as the article's remarks about the hero and heroine of "The Archives" sparking love, and asked curiously: "Han What does this mean?"

Hans Whittle approached Jin Manners and said a few words, Jin Manners looked at the man and woman in front of him, and immediately said, "Hans, I think there must be some misunderstanding, I thought , this article is for the promotion of the movie."

Brad Pitt couldn't bear it any longer, and followed the interface: "Mr. Hans, this is really just a misunderstanding. I have absolutely nothing to do with Miss Famke Jensen."

When Famke Jansen heard Brad Pitt's words, he looked at the man beside him with wide eyes in surprise.

Brad Pitt glanced at his girl with a guilty conscience, but quickly said, "Fa...Miss Jensen, we just happened to meet yesterday, and after a few chats, we separated. Nothing happened in between, did it?"

Famke Jensen finally reacted at this time. She didn't know what happened to Brad Pitt in New York. Therefore, seeing this man turned his face and denied it without hesitation, it seemed that the things he had been courting to him before were hallucinations. The trace of good feelings in my heart immediately disappeared.

"Yes, Mr. Hans, I have nothing to do with Mr. Pitt. The scandals in the newspapers are completely fabricated by paparazzi," Famke Jansen said coldly.

While Brad Pitt relaxed for a while, he was inevitably a little disappointed, but he quickly adjusted his mentality.

As long as he can keep the position of the male lead, after becoming famous in the future, what kind of woman can't be found? He learned from his agent that Fox attaches the same importance to "The Archives" as "Friends". Whenever he fantasizes about himself In the future, like the six-member group of "Friends", Brad Pitt feels that his years in Hollywood have not been in vain, and all the efforts are worth it.

Hans Whittle glanced at the two of them expressionlessly, then set his eyes on Famke Janssen, and said meaningfully: "Mr. Williams wants to see you, you will talk to them face to face. Say it."

Director Kim Manners saw this and asked, "Hans, is it now, but is the next shot ready?"

Hans Whittle patted Kim Manners on the shoulder: "Sorry, Kim, maybe I can only get here today. It takes more than an hour to drive from here to the Firefly headquarters. Mr. Williams told me to get off work. Take them there before."

"Hans, it only takes more than ten minutes. This shot is not long, just a few simple conversations?"

Hans Whittle still shrugged.

"Okay then, I'll let the crew shoot other scenes first." Kim Manners knew that there was no room for negotiation, so he had no choice but to say goodbye to a few people and walked straight to the crew. (To be continued...)
