Chapter 1044 This Should Be a Compliment to Me

The scenes filmed in recent days have been completed through motion capture. The scene is mainly the scene where the heroine Ryan tries to use the space station landing compartment to fly to the next destination, but is hooked by a parachute and has to go out of the warehouse to release the parachute.

Eric sent Chris away and returned to the studio, where Judy had changed into a simple space suit full of sensors and stood in front of a green screen. This part of the shot is too complicated to shoot live footage directly, so motion capture can only be used to create pure CG scenes.

He waved his hand to indicate that everyone can start. Eric sat down in his director's chair. The monitor screen in front of him displayed the rough outline of Judy at this time in real time. The footage obtained in this way was finely processed and post-rendered. It can produce CG pictures that are no different from real people, and at the same time ensure the authenticity of human movements in the CG pictures.

Eric took his director's desk and flipped through the drafts and notes above, and quickly entered the working state. He instructed Judy to do a few random movements to test the effect of the picture, and the shooting officially began.

Special effects blockbusters can usually give people an unparalleled viewing experience, but the real shooting process is actually very monotonous, especially the shooting of "Gravity", which has few exterior scenes. Although the studio is very spacious, in order to better create artificial lighting scenes, the light in most of the interior is actually very dim, and shooting in the studio for several months will even make people slightly claustrophobic.

After a busy afternoon, Eric announced the end of work on time at five o'clock.

Looking at Judy who just hurriedly took off the sensor on his body and sat wearily resting by the workbench, Eric handed over a bottle of water and said with concern, "Are you alright?"

Judy unscrewed the bottle cap and drank half of the bottle in one breath. After a long sigh of relief, she said, "If I hadn't continued to shoot for more than a month, I would be very good now."

It has been about two and a half months since the shooting started in early July.

Due to various problems during the shooting process and Eric's desire to adopt some new shooting techniques, the original three-month shooting period may be extended to four months. Even if all goes well, the film will not be completed until at least the end of October. .

Eric showed an understanding expression on his face, and said: "Keep it up for another month, the last set of exterior shots, we shot in the Colorado River Valley in Arizona, then everyone can stay there for a few more days as a vacation, over there. The scenery is still good.”

After staying in the studio for more than two consecutive months, Judy also had some expectations for the itinerary depicted by Eric.

Putting the half bottle of water in his hand on the table, Judy looked at the man who was obviously many years younger than him, but always gave a sense of calmness that only middle-aged people who have experienced the world would have, and suddenly said: "Eric Aren't you tired, there are fireflies all over the place recently."

"Probably, I'm so busy that I don't know I'm tired." Eric said while thinking, and then looked at Judy again and said, "Have you heard anything about me?"

"For example, buying someone's entire Sony Pictures for a script," Judy put her arms on the table, her mouth bent, and said somewhat mockingly, "Everyone is saying now that you want to be the king of Hollywood. Woolen cloth."

Eric nodded seriously: "This should be complimenting me."

With a smile on her face, Judy nodded solemnly: "Yes, yes."

Eric showed a clear expression: "You should be ironic, it seems that I should consider wearing my heroine's shoes."

Judy laughed a few times and said, "Seriously, a few days ago, many friends wanted me to listen to you. However, from what I know about you, although you are hateful, you are not. would actually do those things, so I just told them it was okay."

Eric smiled strangely and nodded, looking at the woman beside him, with a bit of bewitching in his tone: "Judy,

You know what happens when a woman unknowingly gets to know another man? "

Judy's eyes flashed, her expression suddenly flustered, she glared at Eric, stood up, and said in a cold tone, "I think I have to remove my makeup."

Eric looked at the figure of the woman who fled with a bit of fling, smiled, opened his laptop and started writing today's work log.

It was not until six o'clock that Eric left Firefly Studios and rushed to the Trousdale Manor in Beverly Hills.

Today is Thursday, September 17th.

The second season of brvao's "Desperate Housewives" and the new reality show "The Beverly Wife" will air simultaneously today.

After the finale of the first season in May created a super high viewership of 7.07 million cable stations, the second season of "Desperate Housewives" has been the object of media discussion in the past few months. Many people think that Firefly Group may be "Desperate Housewives" "moved to a public television network such as abc.

With the rise of cable stations, there has been a significant overall decline in the overall ratings of the public television network in recent years. Therefore, Katzenberg has even discussed with Eric very formally the transfer of "Desperate Housewives". The girl also took the initiative to mention the matter, saying that she didn't mind.

Eric was also a little excited at first. After all, the transfer of "Desperate Housewives" to the abc TV network means that abc will once again have a popular drama with a rating of over 20 million, and the income brought by the whole drama will also be substantial. Increase.

However, after careful consideration, Eric dismissed the idea.

Because once "Desperate Housewives" is transferred to the abc TV network, abc is likely to gradually become a "women's channel" like the original time and space.

At this time, the Firefly system already has two very successful women's platforms, Lifetime and brvao, one for white-collar women in the urban elite, and one for the wider housewives class in North America. If abc becomes a female channel again, it will not be good for the TV business of the entire Firefly system.

The road conditions were a bit congested after get off work, and the driver took some detours, and it was nearly seven o'clock when he returned to Trousdale Manor.

The car stopped at the entrance of the girl's mansion, but Eric found that the entrance of the mansion next door where Elizabeth and Julia once lived was very lively, and the girl quickly ran over from the opposite side and walked in with Eric's arm. own door.

Lifting his chin to the other side: "So, what's going on over there?"

"I borrowed the yard for a party. It's preparing over there. It starts at half past seven."

At the beginning, Elizabeth and the girl bought these two adjacent mansions together. Later, Elizabeth and Julia moved to the top of the mountain, which has been vacant and has not been sold.

However, Eric imagined the scene where the girl borrowed something from Elizabeth, and said with some doubts: "You won't use it secretly, be careful Liz fights with you, I won't help."

The girl smiled and said: "No, we are good sisters, what's the matter with borrowing something from each other."

"Well, it looks like I'm going to redefine the term 'good sister'."

"Hehe," the girl smiled, walked into the living room of the villa, sat down on the sofa with Eric, and said, "Tonight is very lively, the main actors of "Desperate Housewives" and "The Beverly Wife" will come over , you can pick and choose secretly."

Eric reached out and pinched the girl's face: "That's it."

"Ah woo," the girl twisted her face, opened her mouth and caught Eric's finger, and nibbled it twice before letting go.

Eric knocked on the door of Ya's head, withdrew his hand, and said, "Let Nata help me prepare some food, I'll take a bath first. Also, I won't go there tonight, you yourself Let's play."

The girl knew that Eric actually didn't like this kind of lively and noisy party scene. During this time, he was so busy that he didn't force it. He smiled and said, "Do you want me to wash with you, I just learned it recently. Massage? Help you relax"

Eric shook his head, got up and smiled: "Who did you learn from?"

"Natasha."

Eric shuddered: "That's fine."

"Hehe," the girl smiled and looked at Eric who was walking up the stairs: "By the way, what do you want to eat?"

Eric waved his hand: "Just do whatever you want."

After taking a bath and having dinner, the sky has darkened, and the next door has become more and more lively.

Eric didn't show up, and the guests who came to the party didn't know he was here tonight, so no one came to say hello, and Eric was happy to be quiet.

In Los Angeles in September, the night temperature is just about the most suitable 20 degrees.

Eric didn't plan to work any more tonight. After swimming in the pool in the yard for a while, he lay on the beach chair next to him and casually flipped through one of the girl's "vogue" magazines.

Natasha came over silently and put a glass of orange juice on the small table next to Eric. Since that night, the girl has always been very embarrassed in front of Eric.

Eric put down the magazine, sat up and waved to the girl with a smile. Natasha got closer, her face became rosy, and her body stood stiffly, like a small beast that fell into a trap.

Eric looked at the tall girl in front of him, who was wearing a small white shirt and white trousers but couldn't hide her fair skin. He knew that this girl was actually very conservative and would not allow himself to do anything here, but just took the girl's little hand. He kissed and said, "Nata, you can go over there to play too, you don't have to stay with me here."

Natasha shook her head and whispered, "The boss asked me to stay here with the master."

Eric smiled and said: "Between the boss and the master, of course, the master listens."

Natasha's face became even more rosy, but she insisted on shaking her head.

Eric pointed to a reclining chair next to him: "Then sit there and talk to me."

Natasha nodded, pushed back two steps and sat down on the edge of the reclining chair, her waist was straight, her long legs were close together, and she quietly looked at the man lying relaxed across from her, with a little satisfaction in her eyes.

After getting along for so many years, although the twins always seem to be quiet and rarely show their presence, in fact, whether they are Eric or vice versa, everyone is already very familiar with them.

There was not much dialogue, and Eric occasionally said a few words, and the girl next to him would give a soft hum. In the yard, instead, it was Eric's voice flipping through magazines.

I don't know how long it took, there was a burst of cheers from the other side of the mansion.

Counting the time, the preliminary ratings data for the second season of "Desperate Housewives" on the east coast and the first episode of "The Beverly Wife" should have already been released. For the data samples from the east coast, the overall ratings in North America are basically the same. has also been determined.

Although the first season has created a miracle in the ratings of basic cable stations, it has maintained its popularity for several months in a row. Eric is not worried about the ratings of the second season of "Desperate Housewives". "The ratings are a little curious and looking forward to.

"Beverly Wife" is related to the future prospects of the brvao channel's entire wife series. If this reality show can be successful, once other wife series are done, the overall ratings of the brvao channel will be very guaranteed for at least the next five years. .

Natasha followed Eric's gaze and looked towards the opposite side, and asked in a low voice, "Master, do you need me to go over there and ask?"

"No," Eric shook his head: "The data is there, you will always know."

Natasha nodded, she was actually reluctant to have the opportunity to be alone with Eric.

However, although Eric didn't ask Natasha to ask, someone took the initiative to come over.

"Eric, if it wasn't for Drew telling me, everyone wouldn't know you were here tonight."

Kris Jenner is dressed in a black dress with open breasts, with well-kept makeup, and looks like a beautiful woman that makes people daydream.

Eric felt a little helpless in his heart. Although the girl was joking on the surface, she would still be jealous in the end. Kris Jenner was obviously sent here on purpose to disturb her relationship with Natasha.

When someone came over, Natasha took the initiative to get up, politely brought a cup of coffee to Kris Jenner, then turned around and returned to the villa.

Eric was too lazy to get up, looked at Kris Jenner who was sitting across from him with a charming posture, and asked, "The ratings of the first episode of "The Beverly Wife" have been released in the UK, how's it going?"

Kris Jenner's face showed joy: "The data just came from New York, the number of viewers is about 3.5 million, and the viewership rate of people aged 18 to 49 is roughly 2.0. According to preliminary statistics, this viewership should be able to Ranked in the top five ratings of basic cable station programs at the same time tonight, depending on the detailed data tomorrow. Moreover, next week, if the broadcast time is moved to after 8 p.m. on Wednesday, the ratings data should be even better.”
