Chapter 416: Night talk

The car slowly entered the parking lot of the sharp corner manor. The driver turned his head and saw that Eric was closing his eyes and patiently shutting down the engine without disturbing Eric. However, Eric, who felt completely quiet around, quickly opened his eyes and looked out the window. "I am sorry, Carl, have I slept for a long time?"
The driver turned and said: "Not long after, Mr. Williams, we have just arrived home for two minutes."
Eric walked out of the car and took a deep breath of cool and humid air on the coast of Malibu at night. Some tired bodies felt a little spirited.
The driver named Carl followed and walked out and said, "Yes, Mr. Williams, just the guard said that Miss Kidman came over in the evening."
"I know, go take a break," Eric said, taking his own windbreaker and briefcase from the car and heading for the villa.
Entering the hall, the lights on the walls lit up slightly, and Eric walked to the corner of the hall and saw Nicole lying on the double sofa on his side. The pillow seemed to fall asleep.
The girl was wearing a thin pale pink sweater. With the slightest ups and downs in her chest, the legs wrapped in dark jeans were slender and seductive. Eric looked at her eyes. Although she was a little moved, she did not bother Nicole. It is already ten o'clock, and Nicole must have waited for him for a long time.
I took a thin blanket next to the girl and Eric walked to the bar in the corner to pour a glass of wine, sitting next to the small coffee table on the other side, taking a stack of documents from the briefcase that came back to continue watching. It’s up.
Because after Oscar, Eric will go to Oklahoma to shoot "Tornado", and this shooting cycle will last for three months. If everything goes well, then the film will be closed in late June, so Eric has to kneel. I am in Los Angeles. Assault on all kinds of fireflies.
If you are comfortable with the status quo, Eric can completely decentralize his power. Anyway, with his current net worth, even if he does nothing, he will be comfortable enough for a lifetime. But this body is only twenty years old. It was the energetic moment that Eric didn't want to live so drunk and dream, and, as a 'passer' in this time and space, Eric is now a player's mentality. He wants to see himself as a player. Before the curtain call 'before. How many levels can be upgraded, whether it can dominate the entire copy of the plane, think about this is actually quite interesting.
The time passed by, and the area illuminated by the light was only slightly swayed when the paper that was not ringing turned. Maybe I have a good night's sleep, or maybe I feel the coldness of the night. Nicole, who had been lying on the sofa, moved and opened her eyes. She pulled the thin blanket beside her and looked at it for a moment. He heard the sound of the sound not far away, and then propped up the body and looked in that direction.
Nicole squatted on the back of the sofa, looking at her head and looking at her legs, sitting on the single sofa and looking at the information in her hand. Eric, for a moment, the girl asked: "Eric. What time is it? Already?"
"It’s almost twelve o'clock," Eric turned and looked at Nicole because he just woke up. There was a touch of blush on the cheek of the girl, and a few messy hairs scattered around the forehead. Don't have a style. No wonder that many literary works always describe the charm of a woman who just woke up. At this time, Nicole really looks so charming.
I felt Eric's eyes stay on my face for a while, and Nicole smiled. Stretched his hand and pulled a strand of hair on his cheek, sat up and wore high heels and walked to Eric.
Eric gave up next to him. The girl was not polite, and she was directly squeezed into a single sofa with Eric. Both of them are relatively thin people, so they don’t look crowded on a sofa, but they are connected by thin fabrics, and the scent of the woman’s body makes Eric feel A little distracted, could not help but hold Nicole, reached out and drilled in, gently rubbing on Nicole's slender waist.
Nicole twisted and twisted, but did not stop it. She leaned over to Eric to look at the file in his hand: "What is this?"
Eric said: "The second 3d animated script that Pixar handed over."
Said, Eric picked up another folder and handed it to Nicole: "This is the first draft of their character design. You look, how do you feel?"
Nicole opened the blue folder and saw a lot of insects on the paper. After reading it, the girl said: "It's so cute, I don't know the other."
"It’s okay to be cute. When I gave this story to John, they said that the insects in reality are not very pleasing."
Nicole gently grabbed Eric's arm and smiled. "I think the story you come up with is definitely great."
"I have so much confidence in me, maybe it won't take long, and some people will fall down because of this blindness."
"That must be that they are not doing well."
"Well..." Eric Klain’s long voice suddenly asked: "Today, the mouth is so sweet, this style can be different from what you used to be. Is there anything else for me to help?"
Nicole didn't mean anything. He said with a smile: "Is the mouth very sweet, do you want to try it?"
Said, the girl will rush the lips together.
Eric smiled and kissed Nicole's lips, and licked his lips, pretending to judge: "It's really sweet, really nothing, I am happy now, hurry up?"
"I really have nothing to do, but some people want me to help with the line. I don't think you will agree, so if you don't ask, I won't say it."
Eric quickly turned his mind, and Nicole is now filming Captain Hawke. If it is Spielberg, it will definitely not let Nicole bring flowers to himself. The relationship between the two is not bad, Spielberg. I will definitely call myself. So, except Spielberg, it can only be another person, don't forget, Nicole's current agent is sent to Kim Lily, and sent to Kim Lily is also the agent of Tom Cruise.
"Not going to be Cruise?" Eric asked, tempted.
Nicole slightly smiled and nodded. "Yeah, but I didn't see him. Yesterday, Kim Sally and Paula Wagner invited me to dinner. That's the matter."
Eric knows that the girl said this, she wants to say that she has not personally contacted Cruise. She smiled and asked: "It’s related to the copyright of the Dark War, or to say. Cruise wants to win the dark. The other half of the copyright?"
This Nicole was even more surprised: "How do you know?"

It’s easy to guess,
Eric said.
In fact, this is a 'ready of the car'. In the memory, Cruise has half of the copyright in the "Mission Impossible" movie series. It is exactly this way that he can bargain with Paramount for even a lion, and even shoot one at a time. Department of Mission Impossible. Cruise scored more than Paramount.
If Cruise does not own half of the copyright of "Mission Impossible", Paramount has already kicked off this guy who has won the game. Although Cruise and Paramount have been smashed in the past, but because of copyright issues, Ramon wants to restart the "Mission Impossible" series. I had to hold my nose and rebuild it with Cruise.
Now the movie copyright of "Mission Impossible" has been taken by Eric in advance, and after Cruz has gone it alone, it is reasonable to call the "Dark War" series.
When I heard Eric say this, Nicole said: "I wonder, if I can't guess, you must have heard the news."
Eric didn't entangle the problem any more, but said: "Talk about it, I am quite interested. Cruise wants to get the copyright of the half of the "Dark War", although he now has hundreds of millions of net worth. The dollar is up, but I think it’s $100 million in cash. Is it that he can’t squeeze it out?


It seems that Cruise’s production company has pulled out external investment. Paula said yesterday that if you agree, you can talk in detail, they plan to pay a portion of the cash, and do some exchange of benefits, such as Cruise to shoot several movies for the fireflies. some type of."
If the historical trajectory does not change anything. Cruise’s pay or the entire Hollywood star’s pay will not start until 1995. At that time, 20 million paid clubs were established, and the first-line stars gradually began to popularize the basic salary plus the split pay model. In comparison, the $15 million payout for Schwarzenegger, Stallone and others is not exaggerated. Eric occasionally wonders if he can stop the crazy rising salary trend of the stars, because the Hong Kong stars on the other side of the ocean have already eaten the bitter fruit of the crazy salary increase. In the past two years, the movie market there because of the stars The sky-high price of the film has caused most of the production costs to be spent on the stars, causing a large number of bad films to appear. Coupled with Southeast Asian countries still suppressing Hong Kong films, Hong Kong movies have now reached the edge of collapse.
Without any suppression, the unrestricted growth of Hollywood star pay is likely to result in such a result. In the case of expanding international markets, perhaps producers can also pay for such high pay, once the market is finalized, Even began to shrink, then Hollywood movies will undoubtedly embark on the 'old road' of the Hong Kong film.
Before Eric reborn, the North American film market has already stagnated, and the European market has been developed. Only one Asian film market is still expanding, but once the Asian market capacity reaches its peak, then The development of Hollywood will also enter the bottleneck.
Nicole watched Eric suddenly stop talking, quietly waited for a while, and couldn't help but ask: "What are you thinking about, suddenly so ecstatic?"
"I want to exploit these little actors, and the capitalists are not doing well."
Ni can make another joke for Eric. He laughed a few times and said: "I will tell Paula directly tomorrow, do you disagree with this?"
"Well, if they come out with cash, I can't think about it. If you cooperate, you should be able to find out that there are few other big-name stars in Cruise's movies, because everyone doesn't like Cruz. Cooperation, Cruise seems to be less willing to cooperate with the big name. This time, "The Dark War" he plans to do it himself."
"Then I told him that," Nicole said, slightly draping his eyes and extending a finger on Eric's arm for a moment, and said: "Eric, I heard that you are still Oscar this time. No female companion?"
"I plan to go alone," Eric had to repeat what he had said to several women: "Sorry, Nicole, they all inquired about it. However, it seems that you did not participate in the nomination last year. Works?"
Nicole sighed with regret, and did not entangle, replied: "Pat helped me to run a best photography award, so I will go this time."
Eric also did not want to continue this topic, and quickly asked: "How is the film "Captain Hawke"?"
"Alright," Nicole said with a sigh of relief, but she quickly realized that her tone was likely to make Eric misunderstand her in a temper because of the red carpet, and explained: "I feel, S Mr. Pilberg seems to be... anxious. These days, he often even announces stoppages for no reason. Perhaps, perhaps..."
Nicole wants to say that perhaps it was a mistake to fight for this role. But after thinking about it, she still didn't say it. This character still cried her nose once and found it from Eric. Now, there is no way to express it. This bitter fruit can only be swallowed by himself. From the current situation, Captain Hawke seems to have not helped much in his acting career.
Thinking of half of Eric's "Dark War" copyright can sell for $100 million, Nicole temporarily moved a thought: "Eric, you said, how about filming?"

How come you suddenly think of doing this?
Eric asked.
Nicole's face is red, can't say that this is more profitable, although she really thinks like this, but deep down, Nicole is not envious of the tg film company founded by Julia, Drew and Elizabeth. meaning. You know, after the release of the film "Silent Lamb" in various channels, it can bring more than 100 million US dollars in profits for the three women. According to her own current pay, even if she keeps the scale of 5 million, she must shoot 20 movies to make so much money. Besides, although the actor is very beautiful, in Hollywood, the real right to leave is still the master of various powers.
"I think it is suddenly trying to try."
Eric thought for a moment and suddenly showed a smirk and said, "It is not impossible. If you can bring two people to your side, I will support you to set up a film company." (To be continued)
