Chapter 319 Interested
Quickly glanced at the detailed information below, Stan Winston Studio was established in 1972, and has successively undertaken special effects production for many films, including the famous "Terminator" and "Alien", and still In 1986, he won an Oscar for best visual effects. The owner of Winston Studio, Stan Winston, is also a famous special effects master in Hollywood.
Moreover, Eric also recalled some materials from his previous life. In the previous life, the digital field that stood side by side with ILM and Peter Jackson's Weta special effects studio was Stan Winston and the famous James Cameron. created. The studio is even more powerful than ILM in some film CG technology.
However, the digital field does not have a strong technical accumulation like ILM, nor does it like Weta Studio, because it is located in New Zealand and enjoys various policy support, plus Cameron's departure , the departure of the founder and the death of Stan Winston, and finally fell to the point of bankruptcy with no leader.
"Alan, help me get in touch with Mr. Stan Winston," Eric took out the information about Stan Winston's studio and handed it to Alan, and said, "Try as fast as possible, you know, "Human Ghost" The time is very tight, New York has already finished, and I only need the heroine here, and now the most important thing is to solve the special effects."
Allen took it and looked at it, nodded, but still said: "Eric, I think if the special effects are handed over to Industrial Light and Magic, the movie will definitely be completed as scheduled, but if we do it ourselves, the effect and time will be very short. Hard to be sure."
Eric was silent,
Cai said: "I have a measure, you should contact Stan Winston as soon as possible."
"I understand." Allen nodded, and was about to go out when there was a knock on the door of the office. After getting permission, the female secretary came in and said, "Mr. Williams. Here they are."
"Let them come in," Eric said. Allen just heard the content of Eric answering the front desk call, and turned and left with interest.
Jim Lester and Jennifer Connelly walked in quickly one after another.
"Hello, Mr. Williams," Jim Rest reached out and shook hands with Eric, who came out from behind the desk.
"Hello, Jim," Eric smiled and let go of the other's hand. Then she looked at Jennifer Connelly. The girl lowered her head a little embarrassedly, but quickly raised her head again, trying to look straight at Eric, trying to show a generous smile, but she was a little uncomfortable no matter how she looked.
"Jenny, long time no see," Eric said softly.
"Yes... yes," the girl nodded, feeling that something was wrong. Wanting to say something else, Eric has already pointed to the sofa in the lounge area: "Let's go there and talk."
The three of them sat down on the sofa, and the secretary served them coffee. Eric sat across from him and looked at the girl across from him unabashedly.
Jennifer Connelly and Eric looked at each other for a while, and they quickly moved away in a hurry. The aggressiveness in the man's eyes was almost the same as it was a year ago.
"What have you been busy with this year, Jenny?" Eric asked proactively.
"I..." The girl hesitated, not knowing what to say. Could it be that she auditioned everywhere, bumped into walls everywhere, and was neglected by her manager? Jim Rest is here. And, even if the broker isn't there. She couldn't have said that either.
Seeing the girl's embarrassed expression, Jim Rest hurriedly said, "Mr. Williams. Jenny has spent most of the year at Stanford University. You know, she's still young, she always learns a little more. That's right."
Eric nodded noncommittally, looked at the girl, and asked, "Is that so?"
Jennifer Connelly bit her lower lip and nodded, "Yeah."
Eric continued: "By the way, last night I was with that... I'm sorry, I forgot the name of the other party, it seems to be Brandt..."
"Tony Brandt," Jim Rest reminded graciously.
Eric nodded: "Well, it's Tony Brandt, I had some conflicts with that gentleman and screwed up your heroine's affairs."
The girl didn't respond, but Jim Lester gave a soft sigh in surprise. He didn't know about it yet, but thinking about the tone of Tony Brandt when he called him in the morning, Jim Leigh Sturt quickly understood what he was writing, and there was just a look of resentment in his heart, and Jim Rest immediately reacted.
It's just the heroine of a low-cost work. If you lose it, you will lose it. As long as you can hug the thigh of the great god in front of you, are you afraid that there will be no role?
"It's alright, Mr. Williams. Actually, that movie wasn't really suitable for Jenny in the first place. If you lose it, you will lose it."
Eric looked at the girl, and Jennifer Connelly forced a smile, but didn't say anything.
"You should know that I'm planning to make a movie recently, and last night I happened to confirm the male lead. The preparations in New York have also been completed. As long as we can find the female lead, we can start filming."
When these words came out, even the eyes of Jennifer Connelly, who had been pretending to be reserved, couldn't help but light up, and a look of ecstasy flashed in Jim Rest's eyes.
But Eric went on to say: "It's just a pity that the heroine of that movie is not suitable for Jenny."
After speaking, Eric slowly picked up the coffee, looked at the changes in the expressions of the two people on the opposite side, and played with them a little. The expressions of the two of them were really interesting.
Even though he realized that he had been tricked, Jim Rest didn't dare to show any displeased look, but the regret on his face was obvious, and Jennifer Connelly clung to the corner of her skirt. She was still wearing the dress she wore to the party last night. Because of hearing Eric's words, the girl lost her breath, and her breathing inevitably became a little short. The pair of plump soft objects under the tube top dress shook slightly with the ups and downs of her chest. It looks very eye-catching.
Jim Lester thought about it for a while, but still suggested unwillingly: "Mr. Williams, maybe, let Jenny audition for the performance and see the effect. She was in last year's "Death of a Swan" The performance in it was quite good.”
Eric shook his head: "If it's just a question of acting. It's not a problem at all, the key is the image, my movie. What I need is the image of a little family woman, but Jenny's temperament is too cold. Suitable for."
"That's a pity," Jim Rest shook his head and sighed.
Eric took a sip of coffee and said leisurely: "But it's nothing, Hollywood shoots hundreds of movies every year, even the seven major film companies, the total annual production volume will not be less than 100, find a suitable film. Jenny's movies are a breeze."
Jennifer Connelly still has some doubts. It is well known that Eric was besieged some time ago. Although no evidence has been disclosed, it is well known that the Seventh University must be manipulating behind the incident. Now men should be in a deadlock with the Seventh University. What's the use of saying this?
But Jim Rest is more thorough than Jennifer Connelly. Since Eric successfully survived the storm, it means that he has now been barely accepted by the seven major film companies. , in this case, to Eric's current status in Hollywood. Asking the Seventh University for a female lead role is simply an easy task, I believe any one of the Seventh University. They are all willing to sell Eric such a face.
"Mr. Williams, are you telling the truth?"
Eric nodded: "Of course, but it will take some time, I have to have someone look for it first, and it also needs the cooperation of Jenny..."
"Don't worry, Jenny will definitely cooperate with you this time," Eric said before he finished. The agent blurted out without thinking.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little embarrassing, not to mention that the girl's face became crimson. Eric himself felt that his old face was hot, how could he speak? So direct!
"Ahem, Jim, I mean, Jenny needs to make time for some auditions." Although he thought it was useless to save, Eric still added what he just didn't say.
"I understand, I understand," Jim Rest said flatteringly.
In embarrassment, there was a knock on the door, and Allen probed in and showed an apologetic look: "Mr. Williams, there is something... urgent."
"Wait a second," Eric said quickly, and left the office.
"That's right, Mr. Williams, I just called Mr. Stan Winston. After explaining my intention, the other party agreed very readily, and the time was set at 11:30 noon today, yes. Now, Mr. Stan Winston also wants to bring a friend with him. So, I think it's better to let you know as soon as possible."
friend?
Eric raised his eyebrows, and quickly thought of a certain voice, Stan Winston's best friend, without a doubt, must be Cameron.
"No problem, is the phone still online now, I'll tell the other party in person?"
"Already hung up," Allen shrugged: "However, if you agree, it's half past ten now, and the venue is at the Clare restaurant in Beverly Hills. I think you should... ahem, pay attention to the time. ."
Eric looked at his watch, glanced at his office, and nodded: "Don't worry, I get it."
"Then I'll go to work," the assistant said quickly.
"Sorry, two, something happened," Eric said to Jim Lester and Jennifer Connelly when he returned to the office, "I'm afraid we can't talk too much."
"It's okay, Mr. Williams, maybe we can make an appointment to have a meal together. How about tonight?"
"Sorry, I have plans for tonight," Eric said, thinking of the figure of a tall slender girl, since he made up his mind to hold Famke Jensen in his hands, of course, he had to go on a few more dates while the train was hot. To increase feelings, material is necessary, but feelings are also essential.
After thinking for a while, Eric said to Jennifer Connelly, "By the way, Jenny, I'm going to a date later. Would you like to be my girlfriend?"
The girl hesitated when she heard Eric's words.
Jim Rest almost wanted to agree for the girl, but at this time, he still felt that it would be better for the girl to make her own decision.
"It's just an ordinary lunch," Eric added: "The other party is a famous special effects artist in Hollywood, and there may be a director. After lunch, I will send you back."
"Then... well," Jennifer Connelly nodded quickly after hearing Eric say that.
Eric smiled and looked at the dress on the girl: "Actually, your dress is just right, um, very beautiful."
"Thank you," the girl whispered.
"In that case, I think I'd better leave first," Jim Lester relaxed for a while after the girl agreed, and quickly stood up to say goodbye.
Eric sent the other party out and went back to the office again. The two of them were left in the room, and the girl suddenly became a little cramped again.
"Wait a minute, I'll change my clothes," Eric said lightly to the girl, walking towards the small room next to the office.
...
"Stan, what do you think the little guy will do to you?" In the Clare restaurant in Beverly Hills, two big men were sitting in a corner, a man with a flat head facing a middle-aged man with a ring of beard said.
"I heard he's going to use special effects in his next movie, with that young man's ambition, James, what do you think?"
James Cameron was stunned, and quickly said, "You mean, he wants to buy your studio?"
"Obviously," Stan Winston said with a smile.
"I think you look very interested," James Cameron thought for a while, then laughed.
"That's a billionaire, very rich. The animation studio he acquired last year is said to have invested tens of millions into it one after another, and he didn't produce a single penny, but he still has bad eyes when investing. Such a generous little guy, of course I'm very interested. You know, special effects are very expensive, and that's why I brought you, didn't you always want to make Terminator 2, this But a good opportunity."
James Cameron also showed an excited look, but he soon became depressed: "That little guy has never made a super high-cost movie, I remember the "Dark War" that he invested the most in, and finally It only cost more than 30 million. Although I pressed the budget of "Terminator 2" again and again, only reported 70 million, but none of the seven majors are willing to take over, and I think the other party will definitely not take this. Risk, if such a large-scale film fails, Firefly will definitely lose its vitality."
"Anyway, you can't find an investor right now," Stan Winston patted his friend's shoulder: "So, it's okay to try on him." (To be continued)
