Chapter 69 68 People Who Took the Wrong Path

Chapter 69 People who have taken the wrong path

The Olsen sisters are not very famous in China. Even people who don't pay attention to the fashion circle probably haven't heard of them.

However, the third sister, who is a few years younger than the twins, is much more familiar in China. She is the Scarlet Witch of Marvel and the YY goddess of many people, Elizabeth Olsen.

The Olsen sisters entered the film and television industry at a very young age. It can be said that they are the daughters grown up by the American people. Especially in their childhood, they have influenced the aesthetics of a generation of young girls.

With the help of her two older sisters, the third sister Elizabeth also entered the film and television industry. She is currently appearing in major TV shows, but her fame is definitely not as good as her two older sisters.

Relying on her childhood influence, the agent founded Shuangxing Entertainment Company specifically for the Olsen sisters, operating various peripherals of the two sisters, and they have been doing well in the past few years.

The net worth of the two underage girls once exceeded 100 million, becoming the envy of countless young people.

However, the influence of the Olsen sisters covers almost all little girls under ten years old. As the two sisters grow older, their fans are also growing up slowly.

As fans grow up and become more aware, it is easier to make money from them. Therefore, the performance of Shuangxing Entertainment has obviously started to decline in the past two years.

The Olsen sisters are anxious and want to break through themselves on the big screen, hoping to change their image and spread their influence to the youth group.

Unfortunately, those who come from the small screen can never appear on the big screen, except for George Clooney.

The two sisters either play small supporting roles, such as playing soy sauce in "Charlie's Angels", or still hang around in TV movies, such as "Challenge Sisterhood" and "Dad's Big Clearance", and can't even appear on the big screen.

Their career development can no longer be described as falling into a bottleneck period, but should be said to be in a serious decline. When Eric saw them, he thought of Shi Xiaolong and Hao Shaowen.

Countless child stars are like this, they were mediocre when they were young, and they became ordinary people when they grew up.

This time, the two sisters asked the screenwriter to tailor a script for them, called "New York Time", hoping to make another push.

And they hope to make the scene bigger and more exquisite, and the budget investment is 40 million US dollars.

After the script came out, the two sisters began to lobby major companies, hoping to attract investment.

Unfortunately, they really overestimated the quality of the script. After more than a dozen companies read it, they generally showed little interest.

A few days ago, the two sisters flew to New York again, intending to lobby Warner and Disney for investment. After arriving in New York, they naturally lived in their aunt's house.

I accidentally heard about the relationship between my aunt and Eric, and then I set my sights on him, the new MGM upstart.

In the room, the three aunts and nieces looked at Eric, hoping to judge something from his expression.

Unfortunately, Eric just looked at the script in his hand expressionlessly, and the dozens of pages of the script were quickly flipped in his hands.

After just a while, the script was only half turned over, and it was thrown on the table casually.

Mediocre, no highlights, no novel conflicts, and very old-fashioned characters. It belongs to the type that no one would think of after being thrown in the warehouse for decades.

Eric recalled in his mind that he had no impression of the movie "New York Time", and he had seen a little bit of the TV movie of the Olsen sisters.

Then the next one, it flopped without a sound, without even a wave.

Such a rubbish dared to ask for 40 million investment, it's not just a fantasy, it's crazy, not even as good as Ryan Reynolds' "The King of Repeaters".

No wonder the Olsen sisters have no achievements in movies, their vision has already said it all.

When they saw Eric throwing the script, the three aunts and nieces suddenly felt depressed and thought it was not good.

Elena asked cautiously, "Eric, isn't the script good enough?"

Sighing, Eric said tactfully, "The plot is a bit too old-fashioned. Hollywood makes dozens of such movies every year, but how many of them have you seen become popular?"

"But Ashley and Mary"

"No, no, no, Elena, you don't understand. The core of a movie is always the story. Actors are just a bonus, but not a necessity. Otherwise, wouldn't it be good for Nicole Kidman and Charlize Theron to make ten movies every year?"

"The script of "New York Time" lacks polish. I suggest you change the screenwriter."

The Olsen sisters looked at each other. Eric's conclusion was similar to those of the companies, but after all, they had the relationship with their aunt, so they still didn't want to give up.

Mary Olsen blinked her beautiful eyes and started to flirt: "Eric, we will accept your suggestion and find a screenwriter to rewrite the script."

"So after the script is revised, will MGM be willing to invest? In fact, Double Star Entertainment can also contribute part of the $40 million. We can split it in half."

After the sister finished speaking, Ashley Olsen came over and sat down, and her eyes also started to flirt.

Seeing that they were still daydreaming, Eric was a little speechless. Even if you two slept with me, you are not worth $20 million! You really think you are gold!

Just put it more directly: "Mary, you don't understand what I mean. To put it bluntly, this script is a pile of garbage."

"Don't say that you two sisters are here to shoot it, even if Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor are here to star in it, it's useless. You can't dig gold out of mud."

The room was quiet, the words were harsh, and the Olsen sisters were extremely embarrassed.

Thinking of the recent setbacks and the unsatisfactory careers in recent years, the two 17-year-old girls could not help but feel sad and lowered their heads and stopped talking.

Seeing her niece whining, Elena was a little angry: "Eric, you are too much!"

"The truth hurts, I hope you don't mind." Eric sighed

"Is there no way to remedy this? You are the captain of MGM, and you hold great power in your hands. Help these two children, otherwise they will have to leave the entertainment industry."

Eric was ready to leave.

"Elena, moral kidnapping doesn't work on me. You know I'm not that kind of person, and I have to be responsible for the entire MGM. Unless there is a profit, I can't waste money."

"Then go and dig for profits. They are the Olsen sisters, children who have grown up under the eyes of the people of the country. You can always find shining points in them, right, Eric?"

Elena grabbed Eric's hand tightly and said, "You can always create opportunities and seize opportunities. The facts have proved it. I think it's the same for these two children, as long as you are willing to spend some time."

After breaking away from Elena's hand, Eric retracted his raised legs.

Looking carefully at the two sisters in front of him, I suddenly felt that what Elena said made sense.

"New York Time" is undoubtedly garbage, but the Olsen sisters are not. I can make a fuss about them.

The two sisters have a good foundation. They are the kind who will not turn back even if they go the wrong way or hit the wall.

It will be available next Tuesday. I will give you a preview first. I will try my best to write in the next few days.
