Perhaps Titanic has absorbed too much popularity in the movie market at one time. This summer season is a disaster for live-action blockbusters, The Fifth Element, Prison in the Air, Godzilla, The average production cost of Contact and Batman and Robin reached 100 million US dollars, but the box office performance was not as good as the other one. worried.

As we all know, this is Eric Williams' first film since Jurassic Park set a global box office record of $1 billion, although in the past four years, the Firefly Group has continuously produced The Lion King, Solitary Day, Jurassic Park 2, Titanic and the current Finding Nemo and other outstanding films with high global box office, are secretly controlled by Eric Williams MGM Pictures The secret agent movie universe that he has worked hard to create has gradually taken shape, but Eric Williams has left for four years after all, and the growing scale of the Firefly Group will definitely consume too much energy. With such a busy schedule and busy schedule, it's hard for us to imagine if '007: Casino Royale' will be able to maintain the level of his previous films.

What's more, in this summer when the blockbusters are gathered but frequently fail, the audience may have completely lost patience with the continuous bad films. Although the 007 series has a very stable box office appeal, this series has lasted for more than 30 years. , the production mode is old-fashioned and rigid, and it is not easy to seek breakthroughs. If 007 Casino Royale cannot surprise us on the basis of the original 007 series, it is conceivable that this is the first production in the history of 007. Big movies that cost more than $100 million will have the same bleak end as the previous films.”

On the medium-sized Boeing 767, the girl looked at the Los Angeles Times in his hand beside Eric with a small head, and said dissatisfied: These people can really talk nonsense, why can't they see Titanic ”, “The Day of Alone Power” and these films, you are leading the way.”

Eric put down the newspaper in his hand, changed another one, and said with a smile: I think it makes sense, and if the movie really hits the street, they can be considered as an excuse for me in advance, how caring. .

Haha, the girl grinned, leaned over and said, Eric, Casino Royale is so good, this is something that everyone who has seen it recognizes, you won't fail.

Not now, and it doesn't mean not in the future, everyone will fail.

That doesn't matter, the girl said, sticking her little body over greasy, rubbing, and said, Eric, let's go to the bedroom in front, shall we? It must be very exciting to do it on the plane.

Eric gestured to the light outside the porthole and said, It's daytime now. If you're tired, go to sleep by yourself. This time there's no reason to scream.

The two are now flying a Boeing 767-200er mid-sized passenger jet, which is also the largest private jet owned by the famous Los Angeles aviation leasing company alc. It was originally only for group leasing. Still 50 people. Because there is a very comfortable and luxurious presidential suite in the cabin, the girl took a fancy to it and rented it for this transoceanic voyage.

Eric's schedule is relatively tight. The Renton premiere will be held tomorrow night. Most of the main creators of the crew have already arrived in London. Eric has only time to leave today. Except for the crew, there are only less than Ten passengers, Eric and the girl, twins, as well as Eric's assistant and four accompanying bodyguards.

Listening to Eric's ridicule, the girl stretched her little body comfortably,

But he pretended to be dissatisfied and said, It's still too young.

Eric smiled and said: It seems that you should be hung outside the plane, where there is a lot of space.

The girl smiled and slapped Eric. Seeing that Eric deliberately changed the topic, he didn't mean to go to the bedroom to do something he liked. He rolled his eyes and said, By the way, Eric, Wait a minute.

Before Eric could ask anything, the girl got up, left the suite and walked towards the back of the airport.

Eric was a little puzzled, shrugged, leaned comfortably on the sofa, and turned over the newspaper in his hand.

About ten minutes later, two tall figures walked in quietly. Eric caught a glimpse of sky blue out of the corner of his eye. He thought it was the flight attendant, so he didn't care, but the two women were in front of him in a blink of an eye. Her fair-skinned thighs are dazzling, and this stewardess dress is obviously much shorter. Looking up, the sky blue top is too close to the body, which perfectly complements the curve of the chest. Two silk scarves are tied diagonally around her neck. Then up, there are two identical, slightly crimson faces.

Looking at Eric, the twins' expressions were a bit more shy. After getting along for so long, Eric also knew that although the two girls had good skills, their personalities were very conservative.

Without waiting for Eric to say anything, Natasha on the left put the tray in her hand on the coffee table in front of Eric, bent down and asked softly, Master, do you want coffee?

The original visual stimuli already made people excited, the face like a Barbie doll, the long white and tender legs, and the uniform of the stewardess, it was already unbearable, seeing Natasha bent down, neckline Open, Irak immediately felt a little wrong, pulled his nose, quickly raised his head, and stretched out his hand to cover.

The Boeing 767 landed at Heathrow Airport in the west London suburb of London after an eleven-hour flight from Los Angeles at one o'clock in the afternoon on Wednesday. It was already six in the morning local time on Thursday.

Brothers and sisters Barbara Bullockley and Michael Wilson, the producers of the 007 series who came to pick up the plane in person, felt that Drew was very strange. He laughed for a while, and occasionally whispered a few words in Eric's ear. Although Eric's expression was well concealed, he also showed a bit of embarrassment from time to time.

For a while, Brother Brock broke up a black Mercedes to give Eric and girl, and everyone drove away from the airport.

The paparazzi in London obviously got the news a long time ago. Since everyone was using the VIP channel, they could not block Eric and his party from outside the waiting hall. However, just after a few cars left the airport, there were motorcycles driving around. Trailer shot with camera in hand.

The girl didn't care about the flies-like paparazzi around, and when the car drove smoothly onto the road, she suddenly couldn't help laughing a few times and fluttered softly on Eric. Glancing at the twins who were driving in front of her, the girl raised her face and bit Eric's ear lightly, with a very dissatisfied tone: It's abominable, Eric, you've never had a nosebleed in front of me.

Well, it's been so long, I proposed that we forgot about it?

Hmph, it's not good at all, the girl said, ignoring the blushing faces of the twins in the front row, It's a pity, it would be great if I had brought a camera, and if I sold those photos to these guys outside Maybe I can send a small fortune, huh.

Still think of the premiere at night, how did you invite Prince Charles?

The girl stopped embarrassing Eric when she stopped, and said, I told them, if they don't want to participate in this premiere, I will invite Diana.

Irak knew that the girl would definitely not do this, but still echoed: Uh, this is ruthless enough.

Of course, the girl smiled smugly. She saw a paparazzi next to the car approaching with a motorcycle and made a difficult move of taking pictures of the car window. She was a little dissatisfied and said to Natasha in the front row: Open it faster, throw them away, really annoying.

Eric glanced out the window, looked at the paparazzi who were trailing on motorcycles, and suddenly remembered something, and said, You mean, the house you bought last time was next to Kensington Palace?

Yeah, Kensington Garden Street, you'll see it later, it's a great house. The girl nodded, suddenly she seemed to understand something, and said, Diana is still living in Kensington now. Gong Oh, hey, Eric, if you are interested, you can say hello.

Eric just glanced at the paparazzi who followed him again. In his memory, Princess Diana's car accident should have happened in August 1997, but now it will be July. Just, I don't know if this will happen.

Irak is not a conspiracy theorist, but also knows that there are too many things in this society.

After thinking about it for a while, Eric still decided to ignore it. If it doesn't happen, then it's a good thing. If it happens, it doesn't matter. Perhaps, just like Marilyn Monroe, a woman who suddenly dies at a moment of peerless beauty can leave a legend in people's hearts.

More than half an hour later, the car passed through Kensington Street in the West End of London and turned into a heavily guarded street west of Kensington Park. The paparazzi were naturally blocked from the street. Only the car of Eric and his party drove. went in.

After walking through the tree-lined street for a while, the car entered the courtyard of a mansion and got off the car in the parking lot. The girl pulled Eric and pointed to the southeast, with a bad expression, and said: There, Ai Rick, right there.

Irak knew that the girl was talking about Princess Diana's residence and didn't care, but just looked at the white British castle -style building in front of her eyes.

Seeing that the Brockley brothers and sisters also got out of the car, several bodyguards began to unload Eric and Drew's luggage from the official car, and the girl stopped talking about this topic, and instead hugged Eric's arm and asked : Eric, how is the house? It's very big, there are 12 bedrooms in total, the living room can accommodate 100 people at the same time for a party, and there is also a basement, which was originally a collection of art, but the previous owner went bankrupt a few years ago. It's all sold, and we can turn it into a screening room in the future. Oh, there used to be a housekeeping team here. I know you don't like it, so I disbanded them. When we're away, the house will be cleaned and maintained once a week.

Watching the twins step up to open the villa door, Eric said to the Brookee brothers and sisters: Let's go in and talk, to be honest, it's my first time here too.

Brothers and sisters of Brock nodded and walked into the villa with Eric.

Drew ordered the bodyguards to move a few large boxes of luggage into the living room, and after explaining a few words, sent them away together with Eric's assistant. Kensington Garden Street is full of super-rich people, and the access guards are very strict. It is one of the safest places in London. There is no need for bodyguards to guard the house at all times, and Eric is not used to this. If something unexpected happens, it is enough to have twins. Although the two girls seem harmless to humans and animals, Eric, who has personally beaten (beaten) with the two women, naturally knows the strength of the two of them. They went to receive formal security training, and the two women were not much different from formal bodyguards.

The girl brought the twins to pack, and Eric and the Brookee siblings sat down in the living room and chatted about the arrangements for the premiere of 007 Casino Royale tonight.

The premiere is planned to be held at the Royal Albert Hall in London, which, by coincidence, is next to Kensington Park, just a few hundred meters from Garden Street. In addition to the main creative team of 007 Casino Royale, the crew also invited some British stars and heavyweight guests such as Prince Charles.

Considering that Eric and Drew had just been on the plane for ten hours, they definitely needed a break. The Brockley brothers and sisters didn't stay for too long. They briefly talked about some details of the premiere, and then took the initiative to leave.

After sending the Brockley brothers and sisters out of the villa together, Eric returned to the living room. The girl beside him blinked and said expectantly, Eric, I'm not sleepy, why don't we go out for a walk?

Although it was late at night in Los Angeles, the girl didn't feel tired at all because she got enough rest on the plane. Eric is actually the same, but still said: It may be very late tonight to rest, you should go to bed first. I still have some things here, and Peter will send some things later.

Drew suddenly looked curious: What?

Eric didn't hide it, and said: It's some book drafts. The development of Disney's live-action movies has been stagnant in recent years. I plan to choose some children's books to develop, but the children's books that have been published are not satisfactory. Before coming I asked Liz to say hello to HarperCollins UK, and they'll send in some unpublished manuscripts, and I'd like to see if I can find a more interesting story.

HarperCollins is one of the world's largest publishers of English-language books and a wholly owned subsidiary of News Corporation.

Eric's purpose in doing this is naturally to find the Harry Potter series, the world's most popular magical literary novel in history. In the original time and space, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone should have been published, but although Eric has been paying close attention to it, he has never found any trace of this book, considering that J.K. Rowling has been published in a series of For the 'past events' rejected by the company, Eric planned to first look for the manuscripts that were eliminated by the publishing house. If the book was really 'fanned', he would have to find someone to write it on his behalf. In any case, Ai Rick will not give up this series that is suitable for Disney in any way. The copyright of the original time and space series actually fell into the hands of Time Warner, which should definitely be Disney's biggest mistake.
