Chapter 786 Will You

"Very well, too many people like to get something for nothing, and very few people can consciously understand that if they want to get it, they must pay," Eric nodded and continued: "Usually, in this type of transaction, a person is often Need to sell the soul to the devil. [Mobile phone, tablet to read the novel, please visit directly, update faster and save data]"

"Ah," Giselle opened her mouth, a little frightened.

"But I'm not a devil, and I'm not interested in your soul," Eric shrugged, but with a devilish smile, said: "So, I only need your flesh."

Gisele fell silent for a while.

Eric opened the newspaper in front of him and said, "Hey, you can think about it."

Giselle didn't stay silent for too long, and quickly asked: "Eric, can I ask, what can I get?"

Eric thought for a while and said, "You will probably become the second Drew."

Under Eric's unremitting efforts, Drew has become the youngest billionaire female billionaire in the world by virtue of his shares in MGM.

Women who are close to Eric more or less have the idea of ​​becoming the second Drew.

Giselle suddenly felt that if she, a small town girl from Brazil, could reach the heights of Drew in her life, even if she sold her soul... oh, flesh to the devil, there was nothing wrong. Of course, she also knows that Eric's promise at this time cannot appear in any written contract, and perhaps, there is no 100% chance of success, but she has always been a resolute girl, knowing that even so, this young man's Promises are not something that any woman can easily get.

After thinking for a moment, Giselle looked at the man opposite and said firmly, "Eric, I will."

Eric raised his head again, somewhat surprised by Giselle's decisiveness, and said with a smile, "Have you really considered it?"

"Um."

"Then, let's talk about the next thing," Eric continued: "First of all, you need an open partner, which is convenient for shaping your future media image. Since you are my woman, this partner must not be a man. Yes, so from today onwards, you are a Lesbian."

Hearing this, Giselle turned her head subconsciously and looked at Alexander next to her.

Alexander had an expression of watching the fun, but when he saw Giselle suddenly looking at him, he shrank his neck, and said indifferently, "Look,

see what i do? "

Eric's mouth showed a wicked smile, and said, "Very good, you have found your target consciously, and I think Alexander is quite suitable, so give me a kiss."

Without hesitation, Giselle put her arms around Alexander and leaned over to kiss him.

The red lips met, Alexander blinked a few times quickly, and was stunned for a while. When she woke up, she wanted to push Giselle away, but she was already pressed on the sofa by the other party, and even reached into her clothes. inside.

"God, god," Alexander, who was pressed on the sofa, whimpered in his heart: "What the psychic said was true, but why should I be the one who was bullied, sigh, is this my fate? "

Eric admired the pleasing lily game of the two girls on the opposite side, put down the newspaper, opened the e-mail box in the laptop, and sent an e-mail out. Then started checking today's work emails again.

The box office statistics of the first day of "Red Fan District" released yesterday have been released, and the relevant data emails have been sent to Eric's mailbox on time.

With a screening scale of nearly 2,000 screens, "Red Zone" earned $3.6 million at the box office on its first day, which is almost the best first-day performance of a Hong Kong film in recent years, and even more than 90% can land on North American theaters. The total box office of the Hong Kong film in North America is not necessarily 3.6 million US dollars, which also shows that Jack Cheng's humorous kung fu is still very popular in North America.

At the same time, a few weeks before Easter is a period when the North American film market is busy. The films that are scheduled for the end of the year have entered the final stage, and the new films that the film companies are very optimistic about will not choose this time to release. Therefore, with a single-day box office of 3.6 million US dollars, "Red Zone" also easily won the box office championship on Friday.

According to the general weekend three-day box office curve, the box office on Saturday will be higher than that on Friday, and the box office on Sunday will be the same as Friday. Then, the box office of "Red Fan District" in the first three days of the weekend is expected to be around 11 million US dollars. If the box office curve of "Red Fan District" can really follow this trend today and tomorrow, the box office in the first week and seven days can even earn 16 million US dollars. This data far exceeds the expectations of the new line distribution department.

Eric remembered that in the original time and space, the total box office of "Red Zone" in North America was only more than 30 million US dollars, but now, with a larger scale of marketing and screening, this figure will definitely exceed the original.

If "Red Zone" can get out of the box office curve of normal Hollywood commercial films, the total box office may even reach about 50 million US dollars. Eric also did not expect the film to go out of a long box office line. After all, the audience of Hong Kong films in North America is limited. After the box office surged in the first week, the next week of "Red Fan District" is likely to drop by 50%.

Of course, if the total box office can reach 50 million US dollars, this has created a miracle at the box office of Hong Kong films in recent years.

"Red Zone" is just a warm-up of the new line to Jack Cheng's fame, laying a popular foundation for "Rush Hour" to be released at the end of the year. The most important thing for the company is "Seven Deadly Sins", which has been intensively publicized for more than two months. This film is scheduled to be released next week, April 5.

Eric found another movie schedule for next week. "Seven Deadly Sins" was firmly hanging at the top of the list with the opening scale of 2,500 screens. He glanced down at random. Eric was going to close the email. The interface, but a flash of inspiration, was attracted by the name of a film.

The film is called "primal-fear", which is translated into Chinese and called "First Degree Fear".

Once "First Degree Fear" is Edward Norton's famous work, this film tells the story of a pair of emotionally entangled male and female lawyers, around a suspected schizophrenic patient suspected of murder in court. Richard Gere's lawyer Martin finally successfully proved that Edward Norton's Allen had schizophrenia and was not responsible for the murder, but there was a shocking turn at the end of the film. It turned out that everything was just a scene. scam.

As a crime thriller, the rhythm of "First Degree Fear" is a bit long and procrastinated. Edward Norton's amazing acting skills can be said to be the only two points in the film. He himself has won countless awards for this film. Nominated for awards, it quickly became popular in Hollywood.

Recalling this information, Eric opened the imdb website, found the page of "First Degree Fear", and found that Edward Norton was not fanned away by the butterfly wings, and he still successfully got the role of Allen.

With only a week to go before the film's release, several reviews from professional film critics have already appeared on the film's page.

Eric casually opened a comment, and the author column was marked with Stephen Gehry, the resident film critic of the Seattle Times, and read a few paragraphs, but Eric frowned slightly.

"...I was invited to watch two excellent crime thrillers in a week in a row, and the horror and shock left by "Seven Deadly Sins" have not dissipated, the newcomer named Edward Norton in "First Degree Fear" The actors once again gave me a creepy shudder. In the two films, the already well-known Kevin Spacey and Edward Norton, also from Broadway, brought us two positions that are somewhat of a point Similar villain. Kevin Spacey successfully interprets a cold and crazy become too murderous, and this role left an impression on me no less than the one in "Silence of the Lambs" in his short appearance. Anthony Hopkins. However, as a newcomer who has just stepped into Hollywood, Edward Norton's performance is obviously better than that of Kevin Spacey, and the chameleon-like character control ability will be innocent and pure Beneath the appearance of goodness is a violent and ferocious soul, which is revealed in front of the audience through the movie screen, making people unable to help but have a terrifying feeling of trembling, which cannot be calmed down for a long time..."

Although the author of this review maintains a compliment of both films, Eric sees a clear sense of humor in them.

The film critic did not make a detailed comparison of the plots, characters, performance techniques and other factors of the two films, but only firmly grasped the wonderful performance of Edward Norton in "First Degree Fear" and compared him with Kevin Spacey's. The performances are compared, and it clearly expresses that Kevin Spacey is not as good as Edward Norton. If ordinary audiences see this film review, they will definitely be more curious about "First Degree Fear" and choose to watch the film. will be more inclined to the latter.

Leaving this article aside, Eric knows very well that Edward Norton is definitely not as good as Kevin Spacey if he is acting in a single round.

In the original time and space, Edward Norton's play path is actually very narrow. He is only good at schizophrenic characters with a great contrast between appearance and heart. Therefore, films such as "First Degree Fear", "American X-Files" and "Fight Club" are only good for him. It is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but in addition, Edward Norton's performance in other films, you can't say that he is not good, but it is difficult to see where there is something outstanding, and even some characters will make people play inexplicably sense.

Kevin Spacey is different. He can be the indifferent and crazy murderous man in "The Seven Deadly Sins", the sensitive and dull single father in "The Express", or the mature and sophisticated one in "House of Cards". Politicians can be the stingy and harsh villain boss in "Evil Boss", the husband who suffers a midlife crisis in "American Beauty", or the calm and wise negotiator in "Ace Vs Ace"...

It should be said that Kevin Spacey can interpret a thousand Kevin Spacey in a thousand films, and Edward Norton, whose performance style is very distinctive, can only be Edward Norton.

Scanning this review again, Eric just closed the page.

Maybe, just overthinking it.

Just as he was about to open the newspaper to see if there was any similar news in the recent movie reviews, Gisele and Alexander sat up together, tired of being entangled for a while.

Alexander sorted his messy clothes, looked at Eric with some resentment, and said, "Eric, I didn't promise you anything."

Eric opened a newspaper and spread it on the table, quickly browsed the relevant information, and replied with a smile: "It's all fake anyway, just pretending."

"But Giselle doesn't look like... just pretending."

Eric raised his head, glanced at Alexander, and said, "Then the fake show is really done, I like it very much."

"I……"

Alexander wanted to resist a little, but could not summon the courage.

She suddenly remembered a well-known rumor in the circle. When the first Victoria's Secret show was held, a Victoria's Secret angel named Heidi Klum was interviewed for violating the rules and was exiled by Eric. New Zealand in the Southern Hemisphere. Exile, this kind of thing usually only happened a few hundred years ago. I heard that Heidi Klum's career has not improved any more, and can only be in the second and third line. Although the punishment has ended, no big name is willing to cooperate with her.

Secretly slandering someone's arrogance and domineering a few times, Alexander looked at Giselle who had just bullied him, rolled his eyes, and said to Eric, who was quickly browsing the newspaper, "Eric, don't you? Aren't you afraid that Giselle will regret it in the future?"

Eric looked up and looked at Giselle: "Would you?"

Giselle shook her head quickly, reached out and pinched Alexander's waist.

Alexander didn't dare to shout out loud, he just stretched out his hand to fight back, but Giselle grabbed the small hand that was stretched out and pinched it again.

Eric saw the movements of the two girls out of the corner of his eye and smiled.

The entanglement between people, the more time passes, the more profound it is, especially between men and women. At that time, there is no way to get rid of it with a single word of regret.

Roughly scanning today's newspaper, Eric really found several film reviews that linked "First Degree Fear" and "Seven Deadly Sins", many of which, like the one just now, implied Edward Norton's Acting beyond Kevin Spacey's article.

Joint publicity in the process of film distribution is a common thing. Two films provoke topics with each other and increase the popularity of the film together. Usually, they can have a very good synergy effect, resulting in a win-win situation.

However, although the production cost of the two films was around 30 million US dollars, before that, "First Degree Fear" was much weaker than "Seven Deadly Sins" in terms of topic popularity and publicity. Obviously, "First Degree Fear" Paramount, the producer of "Fear", did not expect too much from this film, otherwise, it would not have arranged more than 1,900 premiere canvases for the film, not even as many as "Red Zone". In addition to Edward Norton's performance, the film really has nothing to do with it.

Involving "First Degree Fear" and "Seven Deadly Sins" to raise awareness should be the last trick Paramount can come up with.

Eric thought about it for a while, and wrote it down on the memo on the laptop without doing anything else.

The release of the movie is entirely the responsibility of the New Line team. If Paramount is just a little bit of a slap in the face, hello and everyone, if it goes too far, the New Line will naturally deal with it. Boss, if he has to personally intervene in everything, he will also spend money to support what the publishing team does.

The two girls quarreled like cats for a while, Gisele looked at the table full of documents in front of Eric, and wisely ran to make coffee.

After Eric checked today's work emails, he happened to hear the notification sound for accepting new emails. This was the response he got from the email he just sent. He opened it and looked up. Eric looked up and walked back with a coffee pot. Giselle, said: "Then, now continue to talk about your business." (To be continued.)
