Chapter 102 100 Classifications of Women, My Head Is Clear!

Chapter 102 Classification of women, my head is clear!

At noon, I had a meal with the three Olsen sisters, and promised to take little Elizabeth to MGM's studio to play another day. Eric got away.

The cooperation with the Olsen sisters has officially begun. Let them taste some sweetness first and re-establish the brand, which is also good for myself.

More importantly, it is to deepen the deep binding between Double Star Entertainment and MGM. When the product will not sell or the sales volume will drop sharply due to the lack of MGM's support, that is when the Olsen sisters are most dependent on Eric.

Of course, 45% of the shares cannot satisfy Eric. Even if he does not pursue full control, he must at least achieve absolute control.

Otherwise, Eric can use means to get rid of Robert Solnit today, and he may become the new Solnit tomorrow.

Eric is willing to charge only low copyright fees. Of course, he does not like to do charity. It's just that the Olsen sisters will pay a higher price in the future.

The next day, MGM and Doublestar Entertainment announced their cooperation on their official websites. At the same time, they also announced the production plan of "Blue Is the Warmest Color". The word "lesbian" did not appear in the description, but was replaced by reflecting the emotional life of girls.

The Olsen sisters also attended an event and took the opportunity to promote the movie, saying that this would be a transformation work for the two sisters.

They want to use this movie to tell everyone that their children have grown up and the sisters are no longer the little girls they used to be. However, they also said that if they fail, they will choose to quit the circle and concentrate on business.

The two words "quit the circle" were naturally mentioned by the media, which attracted a lot of traffic for a while. The two sisters who had not been on the entertainment page for a long time were rarely on the front page. Although it was not the headline, it was not easy.

There were also some speculations about the plot of the movie and discussions about the two sisters on the Internet. Their fans seemed to be reborn.

On the other hand, "Get Out" has started shooting. Eric went to take a look to show his respect. He still trusts James Wan.

At this stage, although the director's skills are not very mature, as long as he is not given too much money and the background of the movie is not too grand, James Wan can fully grasp it.

And "Get Out" is just a horror movie with small scenes. The plot mainly revolves around a country villa, and even other buildings in the town rarely appear.

Like the original time and space, after shooting "Saw", James Wan produced two more films, and then Lionsgate invested 20 million US dollars for him to shoot "Dead Silence".

In Lionsgate's view, "Saw" with a box office of 1 million US dollars can break 100 million, so I will make a big wave this time, and it will take off!

But the facts proved that they were wrong, including James Wan, who overestimated his directing level. At that time, he could not control the big scenes and had not evolved to the time of shooting "Fast and Furious" and "Aquaman".

"Dead Silence" was bleak in terms of ratings and box office.

The total box office was only a little over 20 million, and the DVD market was already sluggish at the time, so the copyright was also sold poorly, causing Lionsgate to lose at least more than 20 million US dollars. It was one of the few failures in James Wan's film career.

However, the film received a very good response in China.

But what's the use? Can it contribute a dime to Lionsgate? The Internet was also full of piracy, and Youku Tudou and the like did not buy copyrights at all, and could not afford it.

There are many similar situations. Cultural differences have led to a huge difference in the tastes of Eastern and Western audiences.

For example, MGM's upcoming "A Quiet Place" was sprayed in China. Many people criticized the unreasonable plot, too many bugs, and the screenwriter was simply brainwashed.

Even Douban's score has lost the previous Hollywood halo and is only 3 points.

However, the movie was very popular in the West. IMDB gave it a score of 5, and the Rotten Tomatoes freshness exceeded 90%, which is a very high score in horror movies, and the box office is even more impressive.

Why is there such a big gap between the East and the West? Is it because European and American audiences don't know how to appreciate it? Are they all fools?

Of course not. The bugs that Chinese audiences can see can also be seen by European and American audiences, but their focus is not on this aspect.

Unlike China, which was not allowed to become spirits after the founding of the People's Republic of China, European and American horror films have always been a very popular genre, and the cost is relatively small, so they are naturally the most popular genres for major film companies.

But as the number increases, homogeneity is inevitable. If you look through the history of European and American horror films, you can roughly understand that the plots are almost all concentrated on supernatural, bloody, violent, erotic and other scenes.

The audience has already been aesthetically fatigued, and no matter how high the adrenaline is, it is impossible to keep it going for decades.

So when a high-concept, novel horror film like "A Quiet Place" appeared, it naturally received a lot of praise, and there was even a scene where the audience and the big screen held their breath at the same time. The immersion brought by the audio-visual picture is quite good, and the bugs in the plot are ignored.

AK Films has completed more than half of the filming of The Purge, which will be completed in half a month. The release date is set for May 25. With the help of the summer vacation, it is hoped that the box office will be high.

In addition, two other knockoff movies have been completed, namely The Lord of the Rings and Fox and Mouse Game. It is needless to say who they are knockoffs of. They are currently in the stage of selling the movies.

Time flies by, and it’s April 15th in the blink of an eye.

Eric has been in the editing room for four consecutive days. Only he can do this job. If other editors do it, it is very likely to be distorted.

Fortunately, everything is in his head, and there are not many redundant shots. Almost all of them are edited according to the numbers, which is very smooth.

In just four days, the rough cut has been completed.

Needless to say, how fast this speed is, let’s just put a data. In Hollywood, the average editing time for blockbusters like "Transformers" is about half a year.

180 days and 4 days, the difference is more than 40 times.

The next step is to send the rough cut version to Weta Digital, and then add special effects. This link is the real time-consuming and labor-intensive part.

In the evening, Eric drove to Gadot's apartment.

Today is the day when "The Walking Dead" is broadcast, and Eric promised Gadot that he would watch it with her.

Dong Dong Dong

After a while, Barlefali opened the door and saw Gadot vacuuming under the sofa.

"Why do you do housework at night? To digest food after dinner?" Eric asked curiously.

Barlefali said sarcastically: "She not only wants to make the house spotless, but also wears beautiful earrings. This style is really nice."

"Okay, but there is no need to do this. It's not my first time here. I will be embarrassed if it's too grand."

Looking at the beer and snacks in his hands, Eric laughed.

"It's true that this is not your first time here, but it's the first time you stay for more than ten minutes. Some people care a lot."

Hearing Barlefali's teasing, Gadot immediately felt embarrassed: "It's almost over. Wait, I need to clean myself. I sweat a lot. You sit down first, Eric."

After that, she dragged the vacuum cleaner into the bathroom.

There were only two people left in the room. Although they had known each other for a while, to be honest, Eric and Barlefali were not very familiar with each other, and the two had never been alone together.

Seeing the other person looking at him with a pair of big eyes, Eric still thought it was better to say something.

"Refaeli, The Walking Dead is finally going to air, and you will become a big star soon."

Bar Refaeli curled her lips: "It's still early, and there is no part of me in the previous episodes. I don't know which episode it will be cut to."

"The order of appearance is not important. The key is the charm of the character. Some characters will appear at the beginning of the plot, but they will never be remembered, while some characters can be remembered by the audience even if they only have one scene."

"This kind of argument is always mentioned, but I don't think anyone would want to have fewer parts. Eric, do you think I belong to the former or the latter?"

"Of course it's the latter. Maggie is a charming character. In my conception, this character will live until the end of the show, and she will have a complete character growth arc, so I will give this role to you, and you are a beautiful girl, which is a big plus."

"Beautiful? Do you think I am beautiful?"

After a pause, Bar Refaeli suddenly asked.

She stared into Eric's eyes, and her tone changed. There seemed to be a hint of aggression and temptation in her eyes.

As Eric spent more time with women, he became more sensitive to this feeling. He had felt that look from many women.

"What is she doing? Is she seducing me?"

Seeing Eric looking at her with strange eyes and the sound of water coming from the bathroom again, Barle Farley smiled slightly.

She seemed to deliberately twist her buttocks and returned to her bedroom in the way of a model walking on the catwalk. A moment later, she changed into a dress and reappeared, but her smooth back was exposed to the air.

Looking back slightly, with her eyes half open and half closed, Barle Farley asked for help in a gentle tone: "Eric, Gadot is taking a shower, can you help me zip up?"

"Yes, this woman is seducing me!"

Having determined his idea in his heart, Eric chose to refuse directly and decisively.

Just kidding, although I am not a good person, I am not very decent in my private life, and my moral level is not high.

But I am clear-headed!

Eric knows clearly which women can and cannot be slept with, and Barle Farley is obviously the kind that cannot be slept with.

This woman is quite scheming, and it can be seen from the first time they met that she is the same type as Zhang Ziyi.

Eric has a minimum requirement for his women, that is, he does not ask them to be obedient. You can be a little bit temperamental and make demands, but you must not stir up trouble.

He has a clear definition of the definition and category of his women in his mind.

Liu Xiaoli and Niki Caro are not included. They are just for fun. It is impossible for him to give them much benefits just because he slept with them once. At most, he can sprinkle water. It is not impossible to get them for free. After all, it is still uncertain who will suffer the loss.

For people like Chloë Sevigny and Elena Olsen, they are mutually beneficial cooperation types. Talking about feelings is a luxury. If they keep in touch for many years, they may build feelings, but it is definitely not now.

Eric can talk about other women in front of them naturally, but he will not expose these things to Gadot, because Gadot can talk about feelings, so he cares about the other party's feelings.

Nicole Kidman is the type who can develop a relationship. Although the two had a relationship, the feelings were not too deep, but more of passion.

Whether there will be any results depends on whether Eric wants to continue, and on the other hand, it also depends on Nicole Kidman's intention.

The relationship between the two of them tends to be equal. With Nicole's status and appeal, she does not need to ask Eric for resources. She has constant film contracts, which is different from Chloë Sevigny.

Then there are the Olsen sisters and Liu Yifei, who are the nurturing type. Eric can give them decisive help in their careers. The only difference is that the former is raised in a cage, while the latter is free-range.

After being fattened up, whether to eat or not depends on your mood. If you are in a good mood, you can eat it all. If you are in a bad mood, you can also make money by wooling.

There are also Bar Refaeli and Zhang Ziyi, who are sticky. If you get involved with such a fox, you will definitely get a bad taste. Don't touch them!

If it weren't for Judy, Eric would not have paid attention to her.

Seeing that Eric refused to zip her up, Bar Refaeli did not have any extreme reaction, but zipped it up smoothly by herself.

Then he poured a glass of water and handed it to Eric: "Are you thirsty?"

Eric was about to take it, but Refaeli hooked her hand and the cup returned to her, and then she opened her red lips and took a sip in front of him.

"Sorry, I'm a little thirsty too, Eric, you don't mind, do you?"

Seeing that this woman was still being cheap, Eric didn't intend to save her face.

Dongdongdong

Just as he was about to scold her hard, the door rang at an inopportune time.

"Refaeli, are you done? Come out quickly." Judy's voice came from outside the door.

"Forget it, it's not easy to spray you in front of Judy, I'll spare your life this time!"

Eric opened the door while thinking.

Judy punched him as soon as she saw him: "Eric, you haven't come to the company for several days. Where have you been hiding?"

"I'm editing Transformers. I'll go there tomorrow. You take Lefali away."

Hearing the sound of water in the bathroom, Judy whistled and hooked her finger at Bar Lefali: "Come with me, baby, let's leave the space for this young couple."

Then she winked and took out a small box from her pocket and stuffed it into Eric's hand: "I prepared it for you, remember to use it."

"What is it?"

Bang!

The door closed and the two left.

Eric opened the box and saw a small pill lying quietly inside.

"Fuck! This guy!"
