Chapter 54: Implant ad

The conference room door was pushed open again, and Jeffrey Hansen and Kapoor Sid came in and saw Eric's gloomy face, and understood that things had collapsed.
Kapoor knew that this matter must not be related to himself. Otherwise, Richard Keel, who was almost too angry, could not push the film of Erik, a stalwart director: "Eric, or not I still resigned. I went to Europe when I went to Europe. Although the European film is now in a downturn, it is still very easy to find a job based on my ability."
Eric reached out and rubbed on some stiff cheeks and said, "No, I won't make any compromises. Kapoor, you just have to do your thing, right, with Julia's brokerage contract. Sign it, what do you think of Julia?"
"I have specially seen Miss Julia Roberts's "Modern Cinderella" before, and just talked to her for a while. To be honest, Eric, I am not optimistic about her potential, this lady only accepted short-term Performance training, acting skills, and the shape is not good..."
Kapoor’s words are getting slower and slower. I look at Eric’s face from time to time. I think that Julia Roberts was recommended by Eric, and with the anecdote that appeared in the newspaper, the relationship between the two is definitely not general. He was somewhat worried that he was so straightforward and Eric would be upset.
However, after Kapoor finished, Eric nodded and agreed: "In fact, I think so."
"Then you still let her be the heroine?" Jeffrey asked, he always wanted Eric to change to a more famous heroine.
"Because I have an instinct, Julia will definitely be able to fire in the United States in the future, rush into Oscar, and make a name for the world..." Eric just opened his head and saw both Jeffrey and Kapoor appear at the same time. The expression of 'you lie ghosts'.
Smiled, Eric changed his mouth; "Well, make a joke. In fact, although "Feng Yue Qiao Jia" has a beautiful woman's name, it is impossible to really find a beautiful girl to play, and Julia The image is just right in my opinion. If the woman is too beautiful, the audience can easily turn their attention to the heroine's face, ignoring the deeper theme of the film. If the audience finishes watching the movie in the future, "Feng Yue Qiao Jia" can only think of a beautiful face, that is the failure of our film."
Both Jeffrey and Kapoor have already seen the script of "The Beauty of the Wind", listening to Eric's analysis, combined with the content of the script, and finally agreed with Eric's point of view.
"Now, the most important thing for us is to find a male protagonist." Eric looked at the two people in front of him: "Although I like Richard Kiel most, but since the other party refused, then we have to choose other men. Actor, do you have any good suggestions?"
"How about Michael Douglas?" Jeffrey first proposed: "In the "Wall Street" of last year, Douglas played the image of a stock tycoon, similar to Edward's setting in "Wind Beauty".
Eric’s mind just recalled the movie
Wall Street,
and he heard Kapoor whispering aside:
Eric, Michael Douglas’s agency is also CAA.

The three of them were silent for a while, and Eric said: "Kapoor, you are a professional in this area. Let's do this. Organize a list of actors who are suitable for Edward as soon as possible and arrange an audition. Our time is very good. tight."
Kapoor nodded and said: "No problem, if there is nothing else, then I will do it." After Eric nodded, Kapoor left the meeting room.
Looking at Kapoor’s departure, Jeffrey sighed softly:
Eric, do you think it’s really worth it?

"You mean Kapoor, what is wrong with CAA?"
Jeffrey nodded.
"It doesn't matter, it's worth it. Jeffrey, my situation is different from others. You will understand it in the future. Maybe other movie companies are afraid of being a big fan with CAA, but I don't have these scruples."
"I really don't understand where you are confident?" Jeffrey shook his head. "Eric, you mentioned about the sponsorship of the sports car in the movie. I contacted you at the top of the Ferrari sports car in Los Angeles. They were originally Very refreshingly promised to provide us with free sports car assistance to shoot, after understanding the content of the film, the other party heard that the heroine is a prostitute, and some hesitate, I think, we still contact other sports car brands?"
"No problem," although I like Ferrari, but since the other party gave up this promotional opportunity, Eric did not insist. After recalling Jeffrey's words, Eric suddenly thought of a question: "Jeffrey, you just said that the other party would have Promise to provide us with a sports car for free to shoot?"
Jeffrey didn't understand what Eric meant, seriously recalled it and nodded.
"You didn't mention the money?"
Jeffrey said: "Eric, with your current fame, it is very easy to find a sports car brand to sponsor a movie for free. We don't need to give money to each other."
"I mean..." Eric had some distressed underground consciousness and waved his right hand: "Does the other party give us money?"
Jeffrey was amazed: "How is this possible?"
The act of implanting advertisements should have appeared long ago, but looking at Jeffrey’s reaction now, Eric understands that the concept of increasing movie revenue through the placement of advertisements has not been deeply rooted. In the era before the crossing, the industry chain of advertising in global film and television dramas has reached the scale of more than 20 billion US dollars per year.
"Jeffrey, you imagine, according to the script, the sports car in the movie will appear in the first 20 minutes, and even the heroine introduces the performance of the sports car, which is equivalent to a twenty minute or so. Sports car advertising. Suppose that this movie I got a $100 million North American box office, which is equivalent to 10 million people who have seen this advertisement, plus the number of people after the global screening, the number of people after the release of the videotape, this viewing number will be even more Huge, even after ten or twenty years, every time people watch this movie, they still have to watch this 'sports car advertisement'. How much advertising effect will this make you understand?"
Jeffrey nodded thoughtfully.
"So, you sort out the things I just talked about and go to the top of the sports car brands. Remember, the sponsorship fee is less than $1 million."
"Eric, 1 million is not too much, and you just assumed that if the movie box office is not good..."
Eric said: "This method is easy to solve. We can agree on a box office number with the other party. If the box office does not meet expectations, we will refund a part of the sponsorship fee."
Jeffrey chased after him: "What if it is over?"
Eric has some helplessness for this embarrassing old man: "Jeffrey, these specific details are what you should consider for this producer. There are still many things I have to do. You can't let me worry about these things. What?"
As he said, a staff member knocked on the doorway of the office: "Mr. Williams, the clothes that have been customized according to your drawing have already been sent. Do you want to see it yourself?"
"Okay, I will come right away, you let Julia put it first." Eric promised, and talked to Jeffrey a few words, then said: "Jeffrey, let's go, look at me. The design of Julia."
Walking out of the soundproofed conference room, I heard the faint knocking sounds, and some workers in the office were doing renovations.
Came to a tentroom of more than 30 square meters, Julia has been replaced by the classic vest skirt dress in "Feng Yue Qiao Jia", wearing a red jacket outside, Eric just took a look, Just frowning: "Well, I remember to explain it before."
"In the dressing room, are you going to bring it now?" asked Julia.
Eric waved his hand: "Hurry up and change, wait for the makeup to be taken."
Julia walked into the dressing room obediently, and the female assistant who had just given her the assistant named Alison was very eye-catching to help.
Soon, Julia walked out again, not only wearing a golden wig, but also wearing a black cap on her head.
Just appeared, everyone in the audition room couldn't help but light up. Under the wig, Julia's face gave a faint stun, if Julia could only play six points, now At least eight points can be played.
Eric saw Julia's appearance, still feeling something wrong, but just told the photographer next to take some photos of Julia.
After finishing this, Eric said: "You all go out, I will talk to Julia."
Several staff members left, and Jeffrey also got up and said goodbye.
When everyone left the audition room, Julia asked for a pinch of the corner. "Eric, is there any problem, I see you have been... frowning all the time?"
Julia Roberts felt that these days of experience were like dreams. First, it was inexplicably embarrassed by Eric, and she got a promise without looking for a margin.
In the following week, Eric did not contact her anymore. When she was disappointed to think that Eric’s previous words were all about playing with her, the other party suddenly called her. Hastily signed a brokerage contract, Eric directly threw a stack of scripts in front of her: "The heroine is yours, don't let me down."
