After "Thelma & Louise" earned $2000 million at the box office in its opening weekend, it rose instead of falling in the second week, and the box office reversed and created an amazing profit.
Erica arrived in San Francisco immediately after completing the promotional schedule of "Thelma & Louise" in early June, with almost no free time off, ready to join the filming of "Basic Instinct".
The production cost of "Basic Instinct" was as high as 900 million U.S. dollars. The producer, Columbia Pictures, obviously had great expectations for this film, and it was almost a bit of a desperate gambler mentality——
After Sony acquired Columbia Pictures for US$1989 billion in 60, it has always been difficult to make a profit, and suffered heavy losses one after another, even making Sony headquarters the highest loss-making enterprise in Japanese history.
Just as Erica predicted when she talked with Ovitz about "Japanese companies' acquisition of Hollywood film companies", it is not easy for external financial resources to understand the rules of the game in Hollywood.
Looking at it now, Sony's astonishing losses after acquiring Columbia Pictures have become the biggest obstacle to Sony's global profitability.
And Erica's view on this matter is that this may be a good opportunity in front of her——
If "Basic Instinct" filmed by her achieves a good box office after its release, making Columbia Pictures, which has been losing money, stop losses and make profits, she can have enough voice to demand the establishment of an independent star under Columbia Pictures that belongs to her. production company.
For example, "Idol Entertainment" founded by Mel Gibson is affiliated to the major studio Warner Bros., and Warner Bros. provides production funds for it and enjoys priority distribution rights.
The purpose of Erika's plan to establish an independent company is to try to avoid tax reasonably through the company [the tax rate paid by enterprises is lower than the tax rate for individuals], which is second. What she values more is the expansion of her career.
But for now, Erica's plan is just a thin idea. The premise of everything is that "Basic Instinct" can achieve huge commercial success.
At this moment, in a luxurious building on Broadway in San Francisco, Erica is about to start filming her first scene after joining the crew of "Basic Instinct", which is also the opening scene of the whole film, a passion that can stimulate adrenaline Murder scene.
A blond woman whose face is covered by long hair, while in lust with rock singer Johnny Buzz, stabbed him in the neck and chest with an ice pick, carrying out a bloody and gruesome murder.
Erika was wrapped in a bathrobe and stood in the filming room that was clearing the scene, surrounded by a medical staff specially arranged by the crew to prevent her from fainting unexpectedly because of the fear of this bloody performance.
And director Paul Verhoeven was saying to her, "Erica, during the shooting, you will inevitably get a lot of imitation plasma gushing out of your body. This scene is indeed quite difficult, but it is very important. I hope You can do it with precision and efficiency."
"Don't worry, I won't faint from the blood made of honey and icing sugar." Erica replied briskly.
After the clearing was completed, Erica took off the bathrobe she was wearing, revealing the thin silk dress on her body that was made of silk that was close to the curve and only covered the hips.
The silk color between white and champagne fits perfectly with her blond red lips. The sling is thin and insecure, as if it will break at any time. The visual beauty is even better than naked pornography.
The silk nightdress on Erica comes from LaPerla, the most luxurious and expensive Italian underwear brand in the world.
There are many important intimate scenes in "Instinct". If they are completely subtracted, it will have an impact on the final effect of the movie, and it is difficult to form the "mist of murder and love" that "Instinct" tries to create.
Therefore, in order to retain the necessary passionate and intimate scenes, but reduce the scale of exposure, the producer approached the LaPerla brand to design and customize a series of silk skirts for Erica.
And when she wears these LaPerla slim-striped dresses that have nothing to do with vulgar pornography but maximize the sexy charm, the huge temptation and passion can convince everyone that she will definitely become the sexiest woman in the world.
The reason why top-level underwear can last for a long time and attract women's love is precisely because sometimes it can have more visual beauty and impact than complete nudity.
"Erica, about the sub-camera—" Before the official shooting, the staff took care of the necessary protective measures for Erica, and explained the details of the sub-camera.
At the end of the preparatory period, with the sound of wooden knocking on the slate, Erica began to perform the femme fatale 'Catherine'.
Different from the "Stanislavsky performance system" and "Michael Chekhov's performance techniques" she used when filming "The Godfather 3" and "Thelma and Louise" before, when interpreting Catherine in "Basic Instinct", Erika definitely chooses the 'separation method'.
At the beginning of the plot, Catherine needs to show aggression; but in the middle of the film, she repeatedly shows almost gentle loveliness and vulnerability, which is extremely contradictory and confusing.
The "alienation method" advocated by the "Brecht Performance Theory" from Germany can most accurately and artistically turn "ordinary things into extraordinary", presenting its contradictory nature and creating what Erica wants A sense of suspense.
Moreover, due to the high level of psychopathy in the role of "Catherine", in order to prevent herself from being too involved in the play and causing unrelieved mental pressure, Erica chose the "distance method" performance method, which can make her completely higher than the character , control the role.
Instead of becoming a "high-intelligence criminal Catherine" from the inside out, seeing everything as real, and being excessively involved in violence and blood.
Erica seems to be doing it right enough, as in her first murder scene today.
Director Paul Verhoeven originally thought that it would take several days for this important scene to select the shot that satisfied him the most, but Erika met his expectations with only one shot, "Good—— "
After the murder scene at the beginning of the film, San Francisco police detective Nick, played by British actor Ralph Fiennes, was ordered to investigate the bizarre ice pick murder. He found the girlfriend of the victim Johnny Buzz , best-selling fiction author Catherine Chumey.
San Francisco beach house, Erica is preparing to shoot her official appearance——
She was wearing clothes similar to Hitchcock's "Vertigo", and she was sitting on a wide chair on the viewing platform in a leisurely posture, with a nearly half-burned cigarette in her hand.
The fingertips, which were dyed wine red, seemed to accentuate the whiteness of the fingers. When holding the slender cigarette pipe, there was a strange sex appeal.
In the camera being recorded, the side face of the young woman with blond hair and white skin is extremely beautiful, but also seems cold and unreachable.
Detective Nick and his colleagues walked towards her, "Good afternoon, we are from the San Francisco Police Department—"
"I know who you are," the policeman's voice was interrupted. Catherine's voice was deep and sexy, but her tone was indifferent and even mild. "How did he die?"
"Murdered by an ice pick," replies the tall, handsome detective Nick, then forcefully asks, "How long have you been dating him?"
"I wasn't dating him," Erica said, staring at Ralph Fiennes' Nick, his tone flat, "I was fucking him."
And when the police asked Catherine if she was with the slain rock singer Johnny Buzz last night, she denied it, saying she was alone at the beach house last night.
Another San Francisco Police Department detective asked her, "Listen ma'am, we can take you to the police station and talk about this."
"Just arrest me," Erika raised her eyebrows and said in a calm and ironic tone, "Then I'll go with you."
But in the next second, she showed full danger and aggression again, "Otherwise, get the fuck out of here【Otherwise get the fuck out of here】"
—— "Good!" Following the voice of director Paul Verhoeven, Erika looked at the expressions of the two rival male actors, and then became friendly, and the play was almost in a moment.
She maintains a certain distance from the character and controls everything with precision.
And when Erika was filming "Basic Instinct" in San Francisco, "Thelma & Louise" not only became one of the top-grossing films in the summer, but also set off a feminist cultural upsurge in the United States.
"The Washington Post" said, "The stormy power of "Thelma and Louise" has not only swept Hollywood, but the discussion of equal rights it has aroused is even enough to influence the political arena. It will help many women successfully run for the Senate like never before."
In Hollywood, "Thelma & Louise" has helped Erica rise to a top star with a prominent box office appeal.
And in the most authoritative Quigley poll in the United States, more than [-] movie theater operators and Hollywood industry insiders who dealt with movies were selected as "the top ten stars who brought the most revenue to the theater this year".
Although Erica is currently only in the lower class, she is the youngest finalist in the ranking. She has been in Hollywood for less than two years, but she has amazingly stepped into the temple of the most popular actor of this era.
In August, Erica Parker became the cover character of "Time", and the editor-in-chief of the weekly magazine wrote, "Young, beautiful, different, and talented. A young girl who is only 20 years old has stepped into the core of American movies. The area is astounding.”
"Right now, every producer in Hollywood wants her in their films, and women and teens are responding to her. Erica Parker is rocketing through the roof, knocking down anyone who stands in her way with her bare hands, to the top."
Erica arrived in San Francisco immediately after completing the promotional schedule of "Thelma & Louise" in early June, with almost no free time off, ready to join the filming of "Basic Instinct".
