Chapter 110110. Isn’t this a closed loop
?
Knock, knock, knock. There was a knock on the door, and Eric woke up from his sleep.
I looked around and found that Gadot had disappeared.
I looked at the time, it was already half past eight. Today was Monday, so she must have gone to the crew of "Happy Death Day".
"What's going on? Who's knocking on the door?!"
The door handle was turned, and Judy stood there with her hands on her waist: "Eric, why don't you get up? It's time to go to work!"
"Go to work? What the hell, I own the company, I can go to work if I want to, and I don't have to go to work if I don't want to!"
"Go away, I haven't gotten enough sleep yet."
Judy glared at him in dissatisfaction: "Can the boss not go to work? Can the boss sleep in?"
"Nonsense, otherwise why would I be the boss?"
"Wait, you always said you were dealing with something, so you were a few hours late. You're not sleeping in, are you?"
"Bullshit, there is real work to be done, close the door and get out of here."
Crash!
Suddenly, I felt a cool breeze and the quilt was blown away by Judy.
"Wow. It's bigger than yesterday!"
Eric looked at her speechlessly: "Judy Newhouse, you are a woman after all, please act a little more feminine, okay?"
"Based on your behavior just now, I can go directly to court to sue you for sexual harassment, understand?"
"And it's morning, of course it's bigger!"
Judy stroked her chin and said, "But didn't you just finish last night? How come you're back in such a short time?"
"Is it not okay that I was born with supernatural powers and special talents? Hurry and bring the blanket to me. It would be bad if Refaeli saw it!"
"What are you afraid of? Refaeli has left. Now there are only two of us in the room. It's not like I haven't seen you before. Is there any part of your body that I haven't seen during my four years in college?"
As she spoke, she suddenly came closer, grabbed Eric's handle and started stroking it.
"So this is what it feels like. It's really hard."
Eric slapped her hand away. Judy is just like that. She is one person at work and another person in life. The roles of boss and friend are very separate.
After this episode, Eric was finally pulled out of bed.
Judy also came to the company with Lincoln as she wished.
In the office, Bordeaux handed over a report.
"Boss, this is the launch plan for the three projects. After the producer's calculation, the total cost is expected to be around 40 million US dollars."
Eric looked at it and saw that the report listed "A Quiet Place", "Don't Breath" and "The Hangover".
Among them, "The Hangover" has the highest production cost, estimated at 20 million US dollars; followed by "A Quiet Place", estimated at 15 million US dollars; "Don't Breathe" is a low-cost film, with an estimated cost of 6 million US dollars.
After thinking for a while, Eric changed the cost of "Hold Your Breath" to $5 million, and the cost of "The Hangover" to $30 million, but left "A Quiet Place" unchanged.
"The setting of the play 'Hold Your Breath' is actually very small, mainly just a villa. The most important and important role is the blind veteran. Apart from this role, all other roles will be played by newcomers, or actors with acting skills but little fame. You can consider the details."
"By the way, we can ask Tom Hardy, Fassbender and James McAvoy to audition for the young actors in this film. If they are suitable, we will cast them."
"Also ask them if they are willing to sign a film contract with MGM. If they can, sign as many as possible, and then give me a list."
Bordeaux took note of the matter: "Boss, do you think highly of them?"
"He has good acting skills, solid basic skills, and is very spiritual. He is a good seedling worth cultivating."
Eric pointed at The Hangover and said, "We can't save money on The Hangover. Let's go to Las Vegas to shoot. Besides the performances of the trio, the key to this movie lies in the guest appearances of big names."
"For example, I would like to invite Tyson himself, and not use tricky shooting methods such as not showing his face. For other surprise characters who don't appear much, we can also find some big names. Don't be stingy with the cost in this regard."
"The role of Phil Winneke is reserved for Ryan Reynolds. I promised it to him a long time ago. The other roles will be screened through formal auditions."
"Also, I want to give the role of the daughter in A Quiet Place to Elizabeth Olsen. What do you think?"
Bordeaux shrugged. "I think it's appropriate. You're the boss, and you've never made a mistake in your decision making."
Eric looked at him and smiled: "When did you learn to flatter?"
Bordeaux also smiled: "When I decided to make myself mature."
"Well, it seems you did it. Invite Billy, Warren and Judy to my house for dinner tonight. You haven't been here for a while since Christmas, and Emily often misses you."
Bordeaux nodded: "I promise I will remember this most clearly. Also, I just received news this morning that the crew of Hong Kong Star Company's "Kung Fu" has started filming."
After reviewing the contract, Eric said, "It's almost time to start filming in early May. Let's pay Star Shine. Let's pay the first episode to Stephen Chow first. Who did you choose as the producer?"
"Baggins, the old man from the production department, flew over last week."
"Okay, got it, go do your work."
Bordeaux turned and left, and when he reached the door he heard Eric calling him again.
"Wait, I suddenly remembered, how is the progress of the project "Monster"? Since the filming of "Transformers" was completed, Patty Jenkins seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. There has been no news about her for a while."
"Hehe. Boss, she just didn't come to see you, but we just met last week. She came to the company to discuss the budget, but it hasn't been finalized yet."
"It's taken you so long to decide? Is there a problem?"
Bordeaux said helplessly: "Actually it's the problem of the leading actress. Patty Jenkins is in contact with Charlize Theron. Whether or not we can get Theron is the key to the cost of this movie."
"But I think her choice was problematic. To be more precise, everyone in the production department felt that her choice was problematic. That's Charlize Theron, a sexy goddess who was a model. She is totally incompatible with the heroine of this movie. Shouldn't they find an ugly woman who is big and strong?"
"Eric, if you hadn't completely delegated power to Patty Jenkins, we would have stopped her from doing this confusing thing."
Eric couldn't help but recall the scenes from "Monster" in his mind. Come to think of it, before the film was completed, who could have imagined that Charlize Theron would become such a horrible appearance.
However, award ceremonies all over the world seem to like actors to dress up ugly, and coupled with the fact that Serbia's acting skills are indeed superb, she was able to win the Oscar for Best Actress in the end.
"According to the development of the plot, Patty Jenkins will most likely bring Charlize Theron here. I can go visit her then. Your Queen Charlize Theron." Eric thought to himself.
At night, Beverly Hills, Cooper's home.
Everyone's stomachs were full, and the babysitter brought dessert.
Warren rubbed his growing belly and said, "Oh my God, even though my stomach is protesting, my tongue keeps saying I want more."
Judy frowned. "You better shut up, Warren. I think you've gained at least 20 pounds since the last time we met."
“You used to be like a football, but now you’re moving in the direction of basketball.”
"Look at your breasts, they are much bigger than mine. Mine are D, and you should be at least F."
Warren looked down at her chest and supported it with her hands. The eye-catching action caused everyone to vomit.
Eric slapped his forehead and said, "Warren, a good man doesn't have a mistress. You really should lose some weight. I'm worried you'll get sick if you keep going like this."
Billy said, "Don't worry. Go to the hospital for a checkup now. You may have obesity."
"You have to lose weight, otherwise if you get sick one day, your parents, brothers and sisters will blame Eric to death."
After being persuaded by everyone, Warren had to put the dessert back.
The pain of losing weight is well known. The difficulty of restraining the desire for food and drink is just as difficult as restraining the physical desire. It is very difficult to lose weight by relying on one's willpower.
"Warren, do you have a girl you like? In your situation, you can only lose weight successfully if you find a woman to supervise you."
Warren shook his head.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"What about those who like you? There isn't one? You are now a senior executive of AK Films, but no young actor has ever expressed interest in you?"
"Of course there are, but I know why they do that. It's not love," Warren said somewhat embarrassedly.
Bordeaux slapped the fat man and said, "Are you crazy? This is Hollywood, the entertainment industry. Do you think you can find true love here? Titanic is fake. Wake up and have fun while you can. Don't dream."
"But I still want to look for it. To be honest, I already have someone I like in my heart."
"Who?" the four asked in unison.
"Bema."
"who?"
"Bemahadi."
Although he was unfamiliar with the other three, Eric naturally knew who they were.
He looked at the fat man with some surprise: "Warren, did you know that Bemahadi is already 35 years old?"
"35 years old! Do you have an Oedipus complex?" Judy exclaimed.
"What's wrong with being 35? Does love have anything to do with age? I've been with Pema for half a year, and she's really a very charming woman."
"But Bemahadi is a strong woman with a strong sense of career. Are you sure you can control her?" Eric asked a soul-searching question.
"I can't control her, so let her control me." Warren muttered softly.
As soon as these words were spoken, he instantly became the most handsome boy in the Cooper family. The four of them gave him a thumbs up to express their admiration.
After chatting for a while, Eric called Billy aside.
Bang!
They clinked their beers together.
"Billy, weren't you in the UK for some time? Going to get the copyright of House of Cards. How was your relationship with Michael Dobbs?"
"It's OK. I've met him a few times. I'm more familiar with his wife Evelyn because Michael Dobbs is often not at home, so his wife is always there."
"When I wanted to contact him, I could only start with Evelyn. The couple has a very good relationship and has been together for decades. Michael Dobbs also agreed to license House of Cards to us out of Evelyn's kindness."
"Why are you suddenly asking about this old man? What's the matter?"
"I remember you once said that he was a politician, right? It seems like a politician with some power." Eric continued to ask.
Billy nodded. "Not only does he have some power, Michael Dobbs is a member of the Conservative Party, he was the chief of staff of the Thatcher government, and now he is the vice chairman of the Conservative Party. He has great power."
"Eric, what happened? Why are you asking about this person all of a sudden?"
After a long sigh, Eric looked at Billy and said, "I'm glad you can get in touch with Michael Dobbs. We may need you to go to England again soon."
"What?" Billy asked.
"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when the time comes."
Looking at the confused Billy, Eric patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go back and have a drink."
Naturally, Eric was still thinking about Michael. The reporter who framed Michael, Martin Basher, belonged to the BBC, which is a British media.
To win over a reporter, even a famous one, it is just a matter of a few words for a political bigwig like Michael Dobbs.
Through communication with Michael, Eric judged that there was a high probability of improper transactions between this guy and Sony.
As to whether the BBC is involved, Eric believes that it is not, because there is no conflict of interest between the BBC and Michael.
Even if you want to create a hot topic, you don't have to choose Jackson. Just going to the Middle East, Asia, or Africa to shoot some footage will definitely attract more attention than entertainment stars.
If there is really only one reporter involved, it is not impossible to ask Michael Dobbs to collect some evidence if you are willing to pay a fee.
Once the key evidence is obtained, if the situation develops to an uncontrollable point, it will be a killer.
"Damn it, it looks like I'm going to be Liu Xiaoli too!"
In addition to Martin Basher, there is also Jody Chandler, the accuser of the 1993 child molestation case.
In the original time and space, Michael Jackson was completely cleared of all charges after his death in 2009 because Jody Chandler finally told the truth.
He said the 1993 accusation was completely false and was a story made up by his father Evan Chandler in order to extort money from MJ. It was a complete false accusation.
At this point, the public finally believed that MJ was innocent, but unfortunately he had already passed away, and until his death, he never truly proved his innocence.
Shortly after Jodie Chandler issued a clarification announcement, on November 5, 2009, Evan Chandler committed suicide by shooting himself.
This bastard left the world completely before he was judged by the public and his fans. It was a relief for him.
According to subsequent investigations, the recording of Evan Chandler's conspiracy with his psychiatrist was also exposed.
In other words, the evidence does exist, and as long as it can be found, the false accusations against MJ can be completely cleared.
Thank you for the 1,000-coin tip from Peaceful as Water and Wise as Wo. The boss is very generous.
