Chapter 141 141. You are greedy for her body, you bitch!
After leaving Studio 6, Eric returned to the set of "Blue Is the Warmest Color".
At this time, he already had Charlize Theron's private phone number in his hand, and persuaded her to open a Facebook account as soon as possible.
Memorize the phone number silently, and remember it firmly in your mind after reciting it several times.
Eric then tore up the note and threw it away, because it would have been unprofessional not to do so.
And if they were discovered by the Olsen sisters, Gadot, and Nicole, there would definitely be another round of questioning.
The image of Charlize Theron comes to my mind, not that of a female devil, but her sexy performance in "The Fast and the Furious", "Snow White", "Paris", and Dior advertisements.
She started out as a dancer and model, and later entered Hollywood to develop her career as an actress. She has been in the industry for eight years, and her beauty has spread throughout the world.
But don’t think that goddesses are always goddesses. In fact, Charlize Theron did not have a good childhood.
When she was a student, she was a little plump, wore thick glasses because of myopia, and her teeth were destroyed by antibiotics.
Charlize Theron used to be introverted, had low self-esteem, didn't fit in with others, ran into obstacles everywhere in school, and had few friends.
Even more unfortunately, his father had a bad habit of drinking and liked to abuse Theron and her mother.
When Theron was 15, her father got drunk again and started shooting indiscriminately with a machine gun, threatening to kill his daughter.
In order to protect her daughter, Theron's mother shot her husband to death, and Theron witnessed the whole process.
Fortunately, the court finally ruled that it was self-defense, and the mother and daughter were safe.
These experiences cultivated Theron's independent and strong character.
Later, when her body began to develop and Theron got rid of her illness, she finally trained herself to become the queen.
Starting from "Gallery", her queen aura began to emerge.
With a height of 177cm, a perfect face like ancient Greek, a slender neck, a perfect back, and legs that are beyond imagination, when Charlize Theron grew up, even God was amazed that he could make a human being so perfect.
Eric also had to admit that Charlize Theron was the most beautiful and coolest woman he had ever seen.
In terms of beauty, Nicole and she have their own characteristics.
But when it comes to temperament, Theron is better.
Moreover, Charlize Theron was born in 1975 and is 28 years old this year, 8 years younger than Nicole. It goes without saying what age means to a woman.
But it's a pity that now Theron has a boyfriend, a small star Stuart Townsend.
This guy hasn't produced many works, and none of them are outstanding. The most eye-catching label on him is that he is the boyfriend of sexy goddess Charlize Theron.
Compared to Theron's career, it's obvious that the woman is stronger than the man, and it's somewhat like the Tiger of Major Crimes.
Moreover, this kid has a bad temper and is prone to domestic violence, but it has not been revealed yet.
Eric remembered that in 2022, Stuart Townsend was arrested for domestic violence against his wife.
For Charlize Theron, her father's domestic violence left her with an indelible shadow, and having such a boyfriend was really bad luck.
As a messenger of justice, Eric felt he needed to appear like Superman and save her from the fire and water.
No matter if the fire is burning now or not, since it will burn in the future, wouldn’t it be better if I put it out in advance? That’s right, that’s the way it should be!
We have to find a way to kick Stuart away. You bastard, you deserve to enjoy a woman as good as Charlize Theron! But this can't be rushed, we need to do it slowly, so as not to lose more than we gain.
The best way is to let Stuart Townsend reveal his bad character and Eric take the opportunity to swing the hoe.
As long as you use the hoe well, there is no corner that cannot be dug down.
Thinking this, Eric returned to Studio 4.
Seeing him come back, Ashley handed him a peeled orange and said, "Eric, what did you do?"
Eric did not hide it: "I went to visit the set. They were filming Monster in Studio 6 next to me. I went to check the progress."
"Monster? I know that movie, the crime movie starring Charlize Theron, right?"
"Yes, the director was my co-director when I was filming Transformers. I promoted him to that position myself."
Eric didn't respond at all. He knew very well what the little girl was thinking. This method of asking questions was a little immature.
He looked at Neil Blomkamp and said, "Neil, Patty is filming in Studio 6. Come over if you have time."
"Really? Has her movie started shooting?" Neil Blomkamp hurried over and asked.
"Well, it just started filming recently. I invested $8 million."
"OMG! That's so much, director. When can I direct independently? I don't mind if I get less money."
Eric sneered: "Have you forgotten what I said last time? You still need experience."
"After I finish filming Blue Is the Warmest Color, I will start filming a political thriller. You can still come and be my assistant."
"We'll see how things go for the next film. If it's suitable, I'll let you try being an assistant director first, and then consider the possibility of directing independently."
Neil Blomkamp clenched his fists: "No problem, you shoot fast anyway."
Eric glared at him and said, "This is not a question of how fast I shoot, but a question of your learning efficiency. Work harder in private and strive to get the director's microphone next year."
"Of course, I will try my best!"
"Neil, if you were a director, what type of movie would you like to make?" Mary asked curiously.
"Science fiction movies. I think science fiction movies can best showcase imagination. You can film aliens, robots, and super powers. In short, they are very cool!" Neil answered without hesitation.
Eric laughed to himself, his taste remained consistent. His two most famous works later on, District 9, were about aliens, and Chappie, about robots.
"Science fiction films are not easy to make, and the cost of science fiction films is too high." Mary shook her head slightly.
Everyone knows that even if he was brought up by Eric, MGM would not invest a huge amount of money in a newcomer to make a science fiction film.
Eric checked the time and finished his orange. "Okay, now is not the time to discuss science fiction movies. Besides, science fiction movies don't necessarily require huge investments."
"We can start with a small cost. We just need to change our perspective and nothing is impossible."
"There's a very unique science fiction film sitting in MGM's script library right now. If your level is up to par, we can give it to you next year."
"Really?" Neil Blomkamp asked in surprise.
"Have I ever lied to anyone?"
"Director, what is this script? What's it called? Can I take a look?"
"Sure, the name of the movie is Chronicles of the Supernatural. I'll ask Judy to find it for you some other day."
"'Super Power Out of Control', the name sounds great!"
Time flies quickly, and ten days have passed in the blink of an eye. Today is June 12th.
The war continues on the big screen, and "Finding Nemo" continues to lead the pack, with the clown fish Nemo taking in $65 million at the box office in its first week.
Although this data is already very strong, it is still tens of millions away from top blockbusters such as "The Matrix 2", "Spider-Man" and "The Lord of the Rings".
But the awesome thing about cartoons is that they are suitable for all ages and the whole family can watch them.
Moreover, "Finding Nemo" has received rave reviews from film critics, and has also received rave reviews from IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes.
It even boosted sales of clownfish in the pet market.
Therefore, as the second week is coming to an end, its downward trend is only 34%, which is much lower than the 45% or so of general blockbusters, which is really scary.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"The Purge" grossed $27 million in North America in its second week, and $11 million so far in its third week, both within an acceptable range.
The global box office also increased by nearly 10 million US dollars, with the total overseas box office reaching 18 million US dollars. The global cumulative box office is currently 101 million US dollars, just breaking the 100 million US dollar mark.
Compared with the cost, there is no doubt that AK Film and Television has successfully made a small investment for a big win and created a cash cow that can produce sustained results.
Director Anthony Ferrante has now become a hot commodity in the eyes of many companies.
A few days ago, when Bema came to report on his work, he talked about the issue of Anthony Ferrante.
"Boss, Anthony is a very popular director now, especially after the success of The Purge. He has received offers from Lionsgate, Warner Bros., and Paramount. He is really a big star."
Eric chuckled: "And then? Did he agree?"
"He has an idea. He came to talk to me about it and wants to increase his salary. For Sharknado 2 in the second half of the year, he hopes to get the same share as Ryan Reynolds and increase his fixed salary to $1 million."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Hearing this request, Eric grinned and said, "It's normal to have some thoughts. After all, he directed the film. But he just doesn't quite recognize his own contribution."
"The key to the success of these two films lies in the script and creativity, not the director. Even if anyone else holds the microphone, the result will not be bad."
Bemahadi nodded, "Yes, I know nothing about filmmaking and I can see the truth, but Anthony seems to be lost in the hype and box office."
"My view on his request is that it can be partially accepted and the fixed salary can be increased to $500,000. After all, some fans still recognize his reputation."
"But it's impossible to get a share, especially since he asked for 5% of the gross profit. He must be joking after getting drunk."
"The contract Ryan Reynolds signed for Sharknado 2 only gives him 2% of the net profit. Reynolds and his agent are very satisfied with this figure."
Eric hummed. He knew that "Transformers" had not yet been released and "The Hangover" was about to start filming.
Ryan Reynolds' fate in the next few years is in his own hands, not to mention that the company has been very generous in giving him a share of the profits at this time.
Even if he is not given a share of the profits, Ryan Reynolds will still comply if he is only given a symbolic dollar as salary.
Otherwise I’ll cut your part and see if you cry!
After thinking for a moment, Eric said, "Just do as you say. If Anthony Ferrante is a smart man, he will accept the conditions."
"If he's a moron, get him out of here. There will be plenty of frustrated directors who want to take his place."
"Okay, I understand."
Facebook's development momentum is also very good. It just updated its first version a few days ago, adding real-name authentication for public figures and Bluetooth image transmission functions.
The first function is okay, it is only aimed at celebrities and has little impact on general users.
The second function has received positive reviews from all users. Many people have reported that uploading pictures is inconvenient, but this problem can now be solved.
As for the problem of no Bluetooth function, you can't expect me to replace your computer and mobile phone for you.
In less than two weeks, Facebook's user base has skyrocketed at an average rate of 800,000 new users per day, and has now reached tens of millions.
This emerging social network frequently appears in major newspapers and online news, and even privately attracts many reporters requesting to visit for interviews.
Including NBC, ABC, New York Times and other influential media in North America.
FitzHeisenberg accepted several interviews, but faced with this new user who suddenly emerged and took over the market with overwhelming force.
Most of the media did not give praise, but instead expressed concern.
In particular, the two aspects related to Facebook's speech control and user information privacy are the focus of criticism.
CBS TV station specially made an interview program and invited three professors of journalism and sociology from Harvard University and Yale University.
Ask them to talk publicly about their views on Facebook on the show, but this is something that everyone in the industry understands.
Although it is called a free interview, the questions are actually prepared in advance. The TV station will even give you a set of answers drafted in advance, and you just need to memorize them and read them in front of the camera.
And negative news is always the most attractive, so this interview program basically did not say anything good about Facebook. It was all about concerns about the future and worries about the Internet environment.
On the contrary, Silicon Valley is very optimistic about Facebook and says almost nothing but good things about it.
Including the future world's richest man and Silicon Valley Iron Man Elon Musk, Steve Jobs who was invited back to the company to take charge, the current world's richest man Bill Gates, and Larry Page, one of the founders of Google.
They all said that Facebook is an extremely creative new form of social network that will completely subvert the relationship between people, as can be seen from its crazy increase in users.
These Silicon Valley elites are also very interested in Facebook's current user base and hope it can be made public.
However, the company strictly abides by Eric's requirements and will never disclose user data to the public in a short period of time, at least until the balloon is big enough.
Now many people are very interested in the boss behind Facebook. Almost everyone knows that FitzHeisenberg is just a puppet pushed to the front.
His resume is too simple. A quick check will reveal that it is absolutely impossible for him to mobilize so many Hollywood stars to endorse him. Some have speculated that his financial backer may have deep ties with the entertainment industry.
Eric hasn't been to Silicon Valley recently. There are too many reporters hanging around there, so it's better for him to show up less often.
He stayed in the company on the set, and when he had nothing to do, he would go to "Monster" to hang out, and agreed to make a cameo appearance with Patty Jenkins.
Of course, it was not a guest appearance, but rather they shot each other's movies. Guest appearances between directors are also very common in the entertainment industry.
