Chapter 911 Air Corridor

After the weekend, returning to Los Angeles from Ventura, Eric instructed Kelly to pick out a team from the assistant's office to follow up on the construction of private airports on the east and west coasts, as well as two Boeing 747-400s and two Gulfstream V airliners purchase transaction. Eric himself continued to focus on casting a few films and expanding Firefly Studios.

Due to the intensive casting of the "Iron Man", "Spider-Man", "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, and the "Fast and Furious" series at one time, the demand for actors in these heavyweight films covers almost all ages in Hollywood. Duan, coupled with the firefly system in recent years, has made many unknown actors become Hollywood superstars. Therefore, although the Pierce Brosnan incident has just happened, Hollywood has been very lively recently, and almost all actors who want to get roles in these series have tried their best.

"So, The X-Files is over, and you're still in touch with Brad Pitt?"

Pointy Point Manor, Eric is cooking breakfast with Famke Janssen in the dining room, half-jokingly laughing as she tells herself about Brad Pitt's desire to play Tony Stark asked. After the end of "X-Files", Famke did not take any more film appointments for more than half a year, but ran around to travel and started charity by the way. These days, he has just returned to Los Angeles and has been living in the Jiaojiao Manor recently.

"Shelisa called me," Famke Jansen explained, seeing Eric's puzzled face, he smiled: "Shelisa Cody, is Pete's agent, you should have met her. After working together for so many years, everyone gets along pretty well, so I'll help her send you a message by the way."

Eric vaguely remembered Sherissa Cody, a woman who seemed to be capable, and joined i, but he hadn't seen it for many years.

After so many years, the status of the two in Hollywood is now very different, and Eric has no prejudice against Brad Pitt, or has no feelings at all. Bringing a few pieces of breakfast into the dining room and sitting down at the table together, Eric analyzed in a flat tone: "Brad Pitt's acting skills are still good, but his image is not suitable for Tony Stark." After thinking about it, Eric had an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth and said, "However, I can let him try another character, Thor, but the "Thor" movie needs "Spider-Man" and "Spider-Man" It won't start until Iron Man comes out, and he'll have to wait a few years."

In the past, Marvel once hoped that Brad Pitt could play Thor, but at that time Brad Pitt had already begun to transform into a director and producer, and this kind of comic role did not appeal to him. , the two sides could not reach a cooperation.

But it's different now, because of Eric's meddling, although Brad Pitt gained a lot of popularity for his role as the male lead in "The X-Files", after the series ended, he became another one in the film circle. newcomer. Moreover, affected by the role stereotypes of "X-Files", it has become difficult to develop in the film industry. but,

Brad Pitt was indeed a good candidate to play Thor, and the Thor movie wouldn't start until about two years later, and that's when the X-Files influence started to dissipate.

Famke Jansen nodded and said, "Then I'll reply to Sherissa like this."

"By the way, and you, how about the "X-Men" comics I gave you?"

"It's very interesting. I like the character of Jean Grey very much," Famke Jansen said. "When are you going to shoot "X-Men", but I haven't heard any news?"

"This will take another two or three years," Eric explained: "My plan is to first open up the Marvel Cinematic Universe through the two movies "Spider-Man" and "Iron Man", so that the next project's It's much easier to advance, you can make a few movies in the past two years to get a feel for it, after all, TV series and movies are always different."

"In this case, I recently returned to the Netherlands, and my sister is working on a movie and said she wanted me to play a role."

Speaking of which, there are three sisters in Famke Jansen's family. The other two are directors and actors, but both of them are developing in Europe. Eric persuaded Famke reluctantly when he heard this. : "I just came back and I want to leave. I want you, let your sister come to Hollywood to develop."

Famke Jansen said: "My sister's temperament is much stronger than mine, and she also knows my relationship with you, so she won't come here."

Eric smiled and said: "It seems that I am lucky to catch the least powerful one of your sisters."

Famke Jansen gave Eric a white look and said angrily, "It's not your bastard."

Eric smiled smugly, finished breakfast in three or two times, and reached out to hug Famke to show his bastard side, feeling that she had bent a long leg to block her attack, and took that one. The long legs sticking out of the sports shorts hugged him and said with a smile, "Okay, I'm going to work, come and give me a kiss."

Famke reluctantly turned his face to the side and let Eric kiss him. With a smile on his lips, he muttered dissatisfiedly, "I'll buy a ticket to the Netherlands today."

Eric kissed Famke's lips, and lowered his head to kiss on that seductive long leg. Hearing the girl's tickle laughter, he said, "No, I recently rented a Boeing 767. , when are you going to leave, I will send someone to see you."

After being busy for more than half a month, the selection of the actor of "Iron Man" has entered the second round, and the audition list has also been reduced from the initial screening of hundreds to fifty. Eric also intends to personally participate in the recent rounds of audition. .

However, Eric rushed to Firefly Studios, and Katzenberg came with several theme park designers. It turned out that the team of designers responsible for the development of the Firefly Studios theme park project had already come up with the idea of ​​a new project on Lincoln Avenue West. A scheme for the development of a theme park on the plot. Since the residents in the eastern part of the park are up for sale, the studio cannot expand to the east on a large scale in the short term, and the company can only focus on the development of the western block of Lincoln Avenue.

"Mr. Williams, you see, we can build a sky bridge on Lincoln Avenue to connect the east and west movie theater parks. Also, in order to connect the "Titanic" theme exhibition area and the west park, without affecting the With the normal operation of the studio and other areas, we can open an exclusive channel on the edge of the eastern campus, and set up some movie themes in this channel to increase interest and prevent tourists from getting bored on the road.”

Eric looked at the slideshow of the design drawings that the designer had typed out, and after listening to the other party's general explanation, he shook his head and said, "No, no one likes to walk one kilometer in a corridor, not to mention, the park on the east side was originally Should be part of a theme park tour."

"Then we can open a few gates in the area that is open to tours."

"I'm not talking about the door, but, I feel that the idea of ​​the exclusive channel you mentioned is very boring, it will make people feel a kind of claustrophobic, if you have experienced it, you must know how bad this feeling is, "Eric said, got up and walked to the slide projector, asked the secretary who was operating the slideshow to switch the pictures a few times, and then stopped on a blueprint for the overpass across Lincoln Avenue, staring at the blueprint for a while, Eric thought. Raising his hand and drawing a long line in the air, he said, "So, what do you think of elevating and extending this overpass and building an air corridor connecting the "Titanic" exhibition hall and the western park?"

Katzenberg's eyes lit up when he heard Eric's words, he also stood up and walked over, nodding: "I think this is a good idea, most of the eastern campus is not suitable for tourists, but if there is such an air corridor , they will be able to overlook the entire campus from a commanding height, which is much better than the idea of ​​ground access.”

Several designers also came over, and one of them said: "However, such an air corridor will definitely be expensive, right?"

Eric shook his head and said to the designer: "Gary, regardless of the cost, think about it, not far to the south of us is the Los Angeles International Airport, which has an annual passenger throughput of 60 million. Although the airport has a large number of passengers Part of it goes west on the 405 highway, but only one-fifth of it passes through Lincoln Avenue, which is 12 million people. If this air corridor is built and becomes a landmark building on Lincoln Avenue, it is equivalent to free annual traffic Firefly Studios was advertised in front of 12 million tourists from all over the world. This effect must be compared to a flyover just for the safety of tourists.”

The designer named Gary nodded, raised his hand and drew a line across the entire east and west parks, and said, "Mr. Williams, if we don't consider the construction cost, then we can make this corridor span the whole thing. The park will not only form symmetry and be more beautiful, but also the four-kilometer-long air corridor will be more visually stunning.”
