"What, is there any problem?" Seeing Eric's surprised look, Elizabeth looked over to look at the cover, but didn't find anything special, so she asked again, "What's wrong?"

"That, nothing." Eric shook his head, opened the script directly, and quickly read it.

After more than ten minutes, Eric read the script, looked up and asked, "Where did you get this script from?"

Of course, Elizabeth would not tell Eric that the script was found by Drew, but only told Eric what Drew said. Xiao Nizi repeatedly asked her and Julia to keep her secret, and wanted to secretly make some achievements and give Eric a big surprise in the future.

Eric could only shake his head with emotion when he heard how Elizabeth "accidentally" got the script. If he knew that this script was bought by Xiao Nizi, he would definitely give this little girl a slap in the face. How could such a good thing be distributed to others, and so much.

"You've also finished watching it, what do you think?" Elizabeth asked nervously. Although she had already decided to make this movie, it was impossible not to want to get some affirmation from Eric.

Eric rubbed the cover of the script,

For a moment, he had the idea of ​​at least sharing this script investment with Elizabeth. After all, this is not only a big-selling movie, but also one of the few excellent movies that has won the four most important Oscar awards. But this thought was suppressed by him as soon as it surfaced. He felt that there was no need to take up all the benefits in this world. If he didn't give others a way to go, he would only end up with no way to go. not to mention. The little girl in front of her has just had a super friendship with herself.

After thinking about this, Eric said in a relaxed tone: "The story is not too distinctive, but making it into a movie will definitely give people a different feeling. So I think the selection of actors for this movie is very important. You have something in your heart. Have you chosen the male and female protagonists?"

"I was going to cast Julia to play Clarice Starling, and she agreed. There are no other candidates. Anyway, this is my first film as a producer. Just take it slow, I Not urgent."

Eric immediately shook his head: "No, Julia is not suitable to play Clarice. Clarice is a very complicated role, and Julia's acting skills can't reach that level."

"Then who do you think is suitable?" The girl asked tentatively.

Eric blurted out: "Judy Foster."

"Ah... Coincidentally, I just heard that the screenwriter who adapted this script also suggested Judy Foster to play Clarice." Elizabeth sighed in surprise. Immediately, he said in a tone that he thought was very professional: "However, Eric, this is just a horror movie. What the audience wants to watch a horror movie is heartbeat and excitement, so I don't think the heroine's acting skills are too good at all. Horror movies Don't expect to hit the Oscars, I haven't heard of a few horror films that have won the Oscars."

"It didn't happen before, it doesn't mean it won't happen in the future," Eric said. "Of course, I'm just a suggestion. Listen to you or not."

Since this film has nothing to do with him, Eric doesn't want to forcibly intervene, and the history of Hollywood has been completely changed with his participation. Even without the classic "Silence of the Lambs", there may be other even greater movies.

"Then I'll go back and think about it," Hearing Eric's words, the girl nodded cautiously and asked, "Is there anything else?

"Professor Hannibal, you can try it with Anthony Hopkins."

"Anthony Hopkins?" Elizabeth repeated Eric's name, and it's no wonder that the girl had never heard of Anthony Hopkins, although the famous professor Hannibal had been around since the 1960s. It has already debuted, but in a parallel time and space. The other party did not reach the peak of his career until the success of "Silence of the Lambs". Hopkins was in his fifties at the time, before Silence of the Lambs. Hopkins didn't even have a masterpiece.

Eric didn't know how to explain to the girl why he knew this person, so he could only vaguely say: "This is an old Hollywood actor, and he has participated in many literary films, so his acting skills are absolutely fine. I also forgot that he was in Which movie have you seen him, and the image of the other party fits Professor Hannibal very well, you can definitely find it if you ask someone a little."

"Well, then I'll write it down," the girl nodded, took out the address book in the satchel, and carefully wrote down the name.

Eric looked at the seriousness of the girl when she lowered her head to write, and still said, "Jonathan Demme, you know? The script for "Cry on the Island" that I wrote before was directed by him. Yes, and he's sure to gain a lot of fame after Home Alone, so let him direct Silence of the Lambs, but Jonah is still in Venice, and I'll take you to meet him when he gets back. "

The girl's writing hand paused for a moment, then raised her head and stared at Eric: "I don't need you to compensate me!"

Eric was stunned for a moment, then understood something, and smiled: "You are too sensitive, I have not thought about compensating you, you can treat this as... a business, Jonathan Demme has signed with Uta The contract, so his director salary uta also has to take a cut, and I happen to be the major shareholder of uta."

Elizabeth pouted, and then said, "Then I'll talk to Jonathan Demme myself, without your intervention, let alone any preferential treatment. I'll pay him the amount of remuneration."

Eric shrugged: "Okay, whatever you want."

After discussing this matter, Elizabeth put the script in her satchel before raising her head and asking, "Then do I have any work to do now?"

Eric gathered up on the desk and handed a few documents to the girl: "Take these things out and smash them with a shredder, and then throw them away. Also, the top one is "Sleepless in Seattle" "The shooting schedule, you can familiarize yourself with it first. When the filming starts, your eyes are blacked out. There is a desk in the lounge outside, you can stay there, and I will call you if you have something."

"Well," the girl nodded, very satisfied with Eric's attitude of finally letting her do something serious, she stood up with a few documents and was about to leave, suddenly stopped and asked, "Eric, you seem to be There is only Alan as an assistant, no female secretary or something?"

“Because I was rarely in the company before, I didn’t need to. However, after this year, the company will definitely need me to handle more things personally, so I will definitely look for a beautiful vase to deal with the clutter,” said At this point, Eric blinked at the girl ambiguously: "Why, do you have any candidates to recommend, or do you want to recommend yourself?"

"Hmph, you can't use this girl, and I'm not a vase!" The girl said arrogantly, turning around and walking out. (A good event to drop pie in the sky, the cool mobile phone is waiting for you!
