Chapter 333 You Must Be Crazy

With some doubts on his forehead, Eric returned to the hotel after tidying up the beginning and end of the set, and found that the first floor of the crew was deserted, and the lively scene after the crew had finished work completely disappeared.

As soon as he opened the door and walked into his room, a pink figure floated on him with a coquettish whimper, wrapping around Eric like a koala and dawdling and kissing him routinely.

"Okay, Drew, why did you come to New York?" Eric pulled Drew down and looked at it. The girl was wearing a pink knee-length skirt, and the original bag head turned into a shawl. The wavy curls seem to be connected to the hair, and a bunch of slanted bangs on the forehead set off the baby face with a different sexy atmosphere.

"I'm here to visit the class," Drew said with a smile, pulled Eric to his side and sat down, and straddled Eric's lap again.

Eric looked at the girl who didn't turn her eyes a few times, and quickly realized that what happened today had nothing to do with Xiao Nizi.

After a slap on the girl's little butt, Eric said, "Okay, let's be honest, what are you planning?"

"whee,

I won't tell you," Drew said playfully with his little hand on Eric's chest, Eric directly scratched the girl's creaking nest, and after the little girl squeaked and twisted, Eric let her go .

"Speak or not?" Eric made a gesture to continue grabbing.

"Alright, alright, you'll find out later," Drew said, and stood up flutteringly, sat for a few deep breaths, and then took out an eye mask that had been prepared a long time ago from the coffee table: "Hey, put it on first. Come on, I'll take you to a place."

Eric took it over and played with it twice, then raised his head and smiled: "What if I don't want to?"

"Then I'll... cry for you to see," Xiao Nizi threatened immediately.

"This scene is not common. Come on, cry," Eric said immediately with 'interestedness'.

Drew wrinkled his baby face. He snorted a few times, but not a single tear came out. Immediately after a wow cry, he threw himself into Eric's arms, and scratched quickly on Eric like a little wild cat: "Take it, take it, take it..."

"ok, don't scratch it, I'll just take it," Eric said helplessly. In my heart, I was also curious, and I wanted to see what the girl would do today.

Putting the blindfold on, Drew immediately pulled Eric and walked out.

Eric only felt that he got into the elevator and was pulled into a car, and then felt the sound of the car starting.

"Hey, let's say it first, don't play too much, or I'll be angry."

"Am I that kind of person?" The girl retorted in dissatisfaction.

"do not you?"

"Humph."

The speed is not fast, and Eric is not in a hurry. He leaned against the back of the seat with the eye patch on, just enough to close his eyes and rest for a while, I don't know how long it took. Eric felt that the car was still driving without any intention of stopping, and Eric was already drowsy.

"How long will it take?" Eric couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry," the girl looked at the pager she had been holding in her hand. In fact, the car had been circling the streets of Manhattan to delay time, but Eric just didn't know it.

Eric didn't speak any more and leaned back in the chair again.

The pager in his hand finally rang, and Drew gestured to the driver. The speed of the car increased a little, and it only took more than ten minutes. arrived at the destination.

Pulled Eric all the way out of the underground parking lot and took the direct elevator. A few minutes later, the girl pushed open a door, whispered '' in Eric's ear, and quickly pulled off Eric's blindfold.

Bang bang salutes and flying ribbons rushed towards the face, and the people in the hall were obviously rehearsed and spoke in unison.

"Happy birthday!"

"Wow," Eric sighed a little overwhelmed. Hearing this sentence, he finally remembered that today is May 16, the birthday of the original owner of his body. He cares too much about birthdays, let alone now, and with his busy feet not touching the ground these days, Eric can't even think of it.

Familiar faces crowded up. In addition to the crew members these days, the actors and directors who have worked with him in the past year are basically here. The executives of Firefly and Pixar also appeared here. Eric Also saw Stan Winston, who was supposed to be in Los Angeles, and James Cameron, who was supposed to be working on Terminator 2.

Obviously, in order to help himself prepare this birthday party, Drew must have put a lot of thought into it, and it is not so easy to just hide it from himself.

After huddling together for a while, everyone slowly dispersed.

"Hey Jonah, how's the post-production of Silence of the Lambs. . . very good, my movie? Of course, it's about to close."

"Wow, I didn't expect you to be here, Tom, what movie did you pick up recently... Of course, what I said still counts."

"Hello, Julia...hey, Liz, it's my birthday, you can't be like an old hen."

"Robert, how's Sleeping with the Enemy going...well, I'll check it out when I'm done with Ghosts...you should trust Julia, she's got enough box office now appeal."

"..."

"..."

After turning around for a long time and greeting the guests one by one, Eric finally got a short rest, found a sofa in the corner and sat down. Eric took a glass of juice.

At this time, James Cameron, who had greeted him not long ago, came over again, holding his wife Catherine Bigelow.

"Hi, Jim, and Ms. Bigelow," Eric straightened up, James Cameron and Catherine Bigelow sat down next to Eric.

Looking at the couple, Eric couldn't help but think of some memories from his previous life. Cameron didn't say anything, but Catherine Bigelow was also a legendary woman in Hollywood. Other women are completely different, and it could even be said that Catherine Bigelow's films have nothing to do with women at all.

Listen to the names of a series of films she directed, "Assassination*", "The Hurt Locker", "k-19: Widowmaker", "Doomsday Frenzy"...

and. Most importantly, Catherine Bigelow is the first female best director in Oscar history. And, that year's Oscars. Catherine Bigelow's biggest opponent is James Cameron, who is sitting next to her at this time, and his brilliance is enough to make a movie, such as "The Counterattack of an Ex-Wife" or something.

In my memory, James Cameron had a spark with Linda Hamilton, the heroine of "Terminator 2" when he was shooting "Terminator 2". After "Terminator 2" was released, Cameron quickly Divorced from Katherine Bigelow.

"Eric. Actually, I want to discuss something with you," James Cameron said after greeting Eric.

"Huh?" Eric made a puzzled expression, thinking that he wouldn't be making the best investment so soon, and the movie hasn't even started shooting yet?

Seeing Eric's expression, James Cameron looked at his wife, and Catherine Bigelow took the initiative to say, "That's right, Mr. Williams..."

"Just call me Eric," Eric interrupted.

Catherine Bigelow did not express disapproval. Nodding his head, he said, "Some time ago, I got a good script. It's a story about a surfer, but because of a conflict in casting, Columbia Pictures, which originally owned the copyright, gave up this project, so I Looking for investors now."

When Eric heard the word 'surfer', he vaguely remembered a certain movie, but he hadn't seen it. He just saw some introductions by chance in his previous life, and only remembered the hero of that movie.

"Can you introduce the plot?" Eric asked.

"That's about it. Newly appointed young detective Johnny is investigating a bank robbery, and after a bit of tracking down. He finds a lot of clues pointing to a group of surfers. So Johnny goes to the beach in Southern California. , explained young surf instructor Taylor on the beach…”

It took five minutes. Catherine Bigelow briefly narrated the whole story, and also said some of her own views on the filming.

"So, you want to make this story darker, right?" Eric asked.

Catherine Bigelow nodded: "I think this will torture humanity more, and it will be more realistic."

"By the way, you just said that you had a conflict with Columbia in casting. Who is the male lead you chose?" Eric asked cautiously although he already had the answer in his heart.

"Keanu Reeves," Kathryn Bigelow said, "the big boy who played Ted in Bill & Ted's Adventures last year, Columbia says Keanu Reeves looks very different from an agent. , but I think Keanu Reeves can definitely be a great action actor, he has that potential."

Sure enough, Eric said something in his heart. After remembering the brief introduction to this movie in his memory, Eric was eight-point affirmative. At this time, he heard Catherine Bigelow say Keanu. Reeves' name, Eric no longer has any doubts. Although I don't know what this movie is about, there is one thing that Eric does remember very well. It's better that this movie is a success at the box office.

As long as this is confirmed, Eric has already made a decision.

"Ms. Bigelow, I need detailed script and project budget information," Eric said.

Cameron and Catherine Bigelow both showed expressions of surprise. Since Eric said so, it must mean that the other party agreed. The couple did not report too much hope. After all, neither of them thought it was a commercial film, otherwise, Colombia would not give up the project.

"W... Eric, I didn't bring these materials with me today, but I can give them to you within three days."

Eric nodded and said, "By the way, who will be the producer of your movie?"

Catherine Bigelow glanced at her husband and said, "Jim had already agreed, but now it seems that we have to change a producer, because we didn't know when we would be able to get the investment. I thought Jim finished filming "Terminator". 2" is not too late."

"Then I'll be the producer myself," Eric said after thinking about it.

"Are you coming?" Catherine Bigelow suddenly revealed a faint questioning look.

"Hey, Kate, don't you believe Eric has this ability?" Cameron glared at his wife pretending to be dissatisfied.

Catherine Bigelow finally realized that although Eric is only 20 years old today, the achievements of this young man make more than 90% of Hollywood directors feel inferior. In the seven major film companies, it is definitely more than enough to be a film producer.

"Okay," Katherine Bigelow nodded. "I was just thinking, Eric, don't you need to make your own movie?"

"Of course I need it, but it doesn't seem to conflict. It just so happens that I haven't done any specific production work before. I believe this is also a training exercise," Eric hurriedly saw Catherine Bigelow showing the expression just now. He waved his hand: "Don't worry, Ms. Bigelow, you should believe in my strength. I think as long as you know enough about me, no one in Hollywood will doubt that I have this strength, right?"

"Like, yes," Catherine Bigelow finally nodded.

Seeing that the matter was solved so easily, Cameron's expression moved, and he wanted to make persistent efforts, such as...adding some budget for "Terminator 2" or something.

However, Eric clearly saw Cameron's thoughts on the stick, and it was obviously not a good idea to let Cameron succeed so easily. Eric stood up directly: "That's it, Jim, the specific thing. I'll talk about it later, today is my birthday, so have fun."

After finishing speaking, Eric let Xiao Nizi hold his arm and walked to other places.

"Hey, Jim, that little guy must have seen what you were trying to say," Catherine Bigelow teased with a touch of teasing after Eric left.

Cameron shrugged indifferently: "Anyway...you can't escape sooner or later."

Although Kathryn Bigelow wanted to persuade her husband to be more restrained, but thinking about Cameron's harsh and critical character when making movies, he still gave up. He knew that her husband would definitely not listen to him.

"Jim, honestly, how much are you going to spend on Terminator 2?"

Cameron thought for a moment, then looked around, and furtively extended a finger to his wife.

Catherine Bigelow took a breath: "One hundred million dollars?"

Cameron nodded.

"You must be crazy, that little guy will be mad at you," Kathryn Bigelow said helplessly. After all, in the whole of Hollywood, so far, no film has invested 100 million US dollars and has invested more than 5,000 dollars. Mando is enough for movie companies to make a lot of noise.

"He has money, and money is used to make movies," Cameron retorted confidently. (To be continued m.) (To be continued)
