Chapter 266 261 Sneak Attack!

Chapter 262 261. Sneak attack!

"Boss, something happened to the crew of "The Walking Dead" and Barle Farley is missing!" Chen Xing said anxiously.

"Missing? What do you mean? Have you been kidnapped?" Hearing this, Eric was shocked.

Although this little girl Barre Farley is rather snobbish, she was brought to the United States by Judy after all, and Judy appointed her there herself.

If something really happened, Eric would definitely be questioned, and he would have a bad conscience.

Chen Xing hurriedly explained: "She was either kidnapped or missing. She can't be found."

"The phone call couldn't be reached, the text messages weren't answered, and there was no one at home. The crew notified us when they couldn't get in touch."

"Where's her agent?"

"I've looked for her, but my agent can't contact her. I'm still looking for her."

"Where is her mother? Have you asked her mother? There is also Gadot, Bar Refaeli and Gadot live together, and Judy, she and Judy also have a very good relationship."

"Not yet. Bar Refaeli asked for leave from the crew last week. She is not feeling well and needs to rest for a few days."

"She didn't have many scenes on those days, so Darabont agreed to shoot other people's scenes first."

"Then it wasn't until Friday when it was time to film her scene. Barrefali said she would return to the set on Monday, but she didn't see anyone on Monday either."

"Darabont was very angry about this unruly behavior, but he could only ask the agent to find someone."

"Today is already Wednesday, and she hasn't been found yet. Everyone is worried that something might have happened to her."

"You can't really be kidnapped."

The figures of Wu Ruofu, Carina Lau, Katharine Zeta-Jones and others appeared in Eric's mind, and finally evolved into images of John Lennon and the tragic death of Polanski's wife and children.

Regardless of China or abroad, it is not uncommon for celebrities to be kidnapped. They are rich and famous, and their itineraries are easy to check.

Although kidnapping will generate serious public pressure, the high risk and high reward are still the goals of many crazy kidnappers.

But then he thought, no, if it was really a kidnapping, the kidnappers should have contacted Barlefali's mother or agent to ask for money.

Even if someone is accidentally killed in the process, it would be better to use the waste and ask for money.

This was the first time Eric encountered this situation. He couldn't help but feel a little confused. He picked up his cell phone and called Gadot.

After a while, the call was connected.

"What's wrong, dear? I'm on the set. The assistant saw your phone call just now and asked the director for permission before answering it for me."

"Gadot, do you know where Refaeli is? Have you seen her in the past two days?"

"Lefali? No, not in the past few days. The last time I saw her was last Tuesday or Wednesday. I can't remember clearly. What's wrong?"

"She is missing and many people are looking for her."

"What! Missing!" Gadot screamed.

Barrefali came to the United States with her. The two of them had a relationship of best friends, and they were immediately shocked when they heard the word missing.

"What do you mean missing? I remember what she said she was going to do last week. Damn it! I can't remember!"

"Don't worry, think about it carefully."

After a while, Gadot still didn't ring.

"Sorry, dear, I will tell you as soon as I think about it. By the way, have you asked her mother? Refaeli has a very close relationship with her mother, and she tells her mother everything."

"I just found out about this. You can film first and let me know if you have any ideas."

"Barrefali has been missing for at least two days. Why didn't she contact her family? Why didn't she call the police?"

Chen Xing hesitated to answer: "Darabont said that he had just found out about it not long ago, and that this matter should be handled by Barrefali's agent and the Screen Actors Guild."

"Her agent is still looking for someone. Until this morning, Darabont really couldn't wait any longer. The next scenes must be completed by Barrefali."

"He could only push the other person over and over again, and the agent told Darabont the truth, and we just found out."

"Damn it, do these guys have shit in their heads? Contact that agent, what are they doing!"

Chen Xing rarely saw Eric get angry and hurriedly walked out of the office, regretting that he should not have taken care of this mess.

Click!

Eric called Judy only after the office door was closed and there was no one else around.

At present, Judy's sexual orientation has not been fully disclosed. Everyone only speculates that she has a tendency and it is not suitable for others to know.

"Eric, what's going on?"

"You come to my office."

"It may take a while. I'm talking about a script outside. It's very exciting and you will definitely be interested."

"Let me pause for a moment and ask you something. Do you know where Refaeli went?"

"I know, she's home."

"Israel?"

"Yes, I left last week to visit my mother. What happened?"

"are you sure?"

"I'm very sure. After the plane landed, Refaeli told me that it was safe. I heard her mother's voice on the phone. It couldn't be wrong. Eric, why are you asking this? What happened? "

"The crew of The Walking Dead can't find anyone, and many people are looking for her."

"What! Isn't she finished?"

"How do you know? Who said that?"

"Lefali told me that she said her role had been completed and she hadn't been home for a long time, so she wanted to go back and rest for a while."

"Eric, I don't understand. Are you saying that the filming has not been completed and that Refaeli is lying to me?"

"At present, yes."

Some thoughts flashed through Eric's mind, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Eric? Eric?"

"I don't know either. You finish your work first and we'll meet again when you come back."

"Okay!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xing came in again a moment later: "Boss, Bar Refaeli's agent contacted her mother, and her mother said that she hadn't seen Refaeli either."

"But there is one thing that is strange. It seems that Bar Refaeli's mother is not very anxious about this, and she has not proposed to call the police."

Eric nodded, took out a pen and wrote down the known information on paper.

His brows were getting more and more furrowed. Looking at this information, he suddenly thought of a person in his mind-Hong Kong actor Xu Shaoqiang.

Xu Shaoqiang got the good resources of Yun Feiyang, the male protagonist of "Heavenly Silkworm Change".

This TV series was prepared by ATV with a lot of effort. It was really a hit, and Xu Shaoqiang immediately became the synonym of the hero at that time.

In order to fight against ATV, TVB hired Zheng Shaoqiu to shoot "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", but it still lost to "The Legend of Silkworm" in terms of ratings.

Seeing that they could not win the direct confrontation, TVB had a crooked mind and found Xu Shaoqiang privately, stuffed a large sum of money, and promised a lot of benefits.

Xu Shaoqiang had just become popular, and he was so proud that he could not resist the temptation and chose to take the money and disappear, and hid away.

At that time, "The Legend of Silkworm" adopted the same shooting and broadcasting mode as American TV series. The male lead was suddenly not found, and ATV was almost crazy.

In the end, they could only temporarily pull in Gu Guanzhong to take over, but the ratings were inevitably reduced.

And Xu Shaoqiang did not have a good end. After his dishonest behavior was exposed, he was spurned by the industry.

ATV kicked him out, and TVB did not fulfill the benefits promised by him, such as the male lead. Yun Feiyang, who had a promising future, could only fall to small supporting roles and villain roles to make a living, and he never rose again in his life.

Now Barlefali's sudden disappearance is somewhat similar to Xu Shaoqiang's disappearance, especially when Judy's message is compared with what Chen Xing said just now, the whole thing immediately seems very strange.

Eric tried to call Barlefali, but it was turned off.

He called Darabont again.

"Eric, you already know about this."

"Well, Frank, do you know anything?"

"I don't know, Barlefali's performance in the crew is normal, and now she is a famous actor."

"The Walking Dead and House of Cards made her very popular, she got more respect, and no one disrespected her."

"Eric, I can assure you that the crew has absolutely nothing to do with this matter, and Barlefali has not suffered any grievances."

"Don't get excited, Frank, I don't mean to blame you, I just have a headache and some things are unclear."

"Eric, but the problem How to solve it? Without Bar Raifali, the rest of the scenes can't be filmed, and the crew is at a standstill. "

Take a deep breath, Eric tapped the table lightly: "How is the progress? How many scenes does she have left?"

"Most of it has been completed, but the remaining scenes are all related to Bar Raifali. Everyone is waiting for her. It has been delayed for several days."

"Eric, I know you are waiting for "The Walking Dead" to be released on Lionheart, but the situation is a bit bad."

"Is there any way to remedy it? If she is not here, we will not wait for her!"

"Do you mean to replace her? Or kill the character!" Darabont immediately understood.

"It's all right, do whatever you want."

"If there is really no other way, my suggestion is to let the character die. After all, Bar Raifali has been filming for a while. If you change the actor, there will be contradictions between the previous and the next roles."

"Unless you want to reshoot, which means the whole show has to be re-shot."

"Let Maggie die suddenly, what about Green?"

Darabont snorted coldly: "Eric, "The Walking Dead" is the end of the world, and there are more than one or two people who died suddenly. Let her be killed by the Governor."

"Then save a female character and form a pair with Green again to replace Maggie's role."

"Of course, you have to be mentally prepared. The investigation in the first season showed that the character of Maggie was still very popular with the audience. Her sudden offline may attract some disgust and criticism from the audience."

"It seems that you have thought about this a long time ago."

Dongdongdong.

There was a knock on the door outside, and Judy rushed back.

"Frank, I'll think about it. Wait for my call."

"Okay."

In the office, Judy asked anxiously what happened. After Eric told her, she immediately took out her phone and called Barlefali, but it was still turned off.

Then she called Barlefali's mother, but it was still turned off.

Instantly, Judy felt terrible.

"What's going on?"

"It's all turned off. It shouldn't be like that. We were still in touch a few days ago."

"How many days?"

"Last Saturday, she said she was going to Jerusalem with her mother for pilgrimage, so we didn't contact each other later. I don't understand religion."

Eric sighed and told her his guess. Judy's face became worse.

"But why? There's no reason! Why did Rafali do this?"

"Because of desire, ambition, interests, and many other things. Judy, is your relationship stable?"

Judy nodded: "Although there are occasional quarrels, I think it's good."

"So she is at least willing to tell you that she has returned to Israel. She has not said anything to anyone else, even Gadot."

"Saying this may destroy the image of Barrafaeli in your heart, but there is no need to hide it at this time."

"Judy, Barrafaeli has tempted me many times, but I rejected her every time. She is not as simple as you see!"

Hearing this, Judy's heart was shocked. With their relationship, Eric had absolutely no reason to lie to her. The beautiful image in her heart was suddenly stained with a layer of shadow.

After walking back and forth a few times in a somewhat distracted manner, Judy looked up and said, "Eric, give me some time. I will go to Israel right away. This matter must be explained."

Eric nodded: "The crew has been waiting for her for several days, so by next Monday at the latest, if Bar Refaeli does not show up, she will lose her role."

"I am not just talking about the role in "The Walking Dead", but also the role in "House of Cards". Even all MGM projects will no longer consider her."

Judy knew that Eric could still talk to her calmly and not get angry, which was for her face. The relationship between the two was already strong enough.

Otherwise, try someone else, even Ryan Reynolds and Chris Evans, who were personally excavated, should get out immediately!

So she did not beg for mercy anymore, let alone begging for mercy. If things were really as Eric expected, Judy would make a decision in her heart instantly. She would send Bar Refaeli away personally, just like she brought her into Hollywood personally.

Let Darabont wait a few more days, don't make this public, Eric's attention shifted to other aspects.

This Saturday, the big sniper "Million Dollar Baby" will continue, and the relay will be the big production of 20th Century Fox "The Day After Tomorrow".

Directed by the disaster film director Roland Emmerich, who is also the director of "2012", these two works are disaster masterpieces that have left their names in film history.

Compared with the director, the starring actors Dennis Quaid, Jack Gyllenhaal, and Amy Rosen have received less attention.

According to science, the scenes envisioned in the movie are absolutely impossible to achieve, but it is really good to watch, and Eric will revisit it every year.

Under the impact of such a masterpiece, "Million Dollar Baby" was naturally impacted again.

But in the same way, "The Polar Express" is not doing well, and the impact is also very large. Anyway, no one can survive.

Until the box office results for a week were released, "The Day After Tomorrow" won the championship without any surprise, winning a box office of 65 million US dollars, and the reputation is also quite good.

Million Dollar Baby earned $21 million, and its excellent reputation made the decline only 30%, which was lower than expected.

The Polar Express was even worse than being cut in half, earning only $26 million. I'm afraid the box office forecast of $320 million will have to be lowered again.

On Sunday, Judy hadn't come back yet, but Eric's face was extremely gloomy.

There were several magazines in front of him, and all the covers were of him and Gadot.
