Chapter 61 (2/2)
“Ja lass towards the man
Jaht, that photo of yours was also featured in the Los Angeles Tiether”
Jeffrey also laughed and added: “Eric, are you sure you didn’t specifically ask for it ? I can hardly believe that a passing a like this”
“Whether you believe it or not, it’s a fact, I even had to spend 1,000for the negative But well, it did inspire me a new script”
Ja a bit about its content ?”
“Sure, no problele father and an already engaged female reporter…”
Eric took a few minutes to narrate the synopsis of Sleepless in Seattle to him
“It seems to me that you’ve also taken inspiration from An Affair To Remember” James said
Eric didn’t deny it: “The script will be written so that the heroine will have seen that precisewill pay it tribute”
Jaood, then the Fox could buy it over, or they could produce it jointly with the Firefly Studios Since Eric owed hiet his way But after listening to the synopsis, he decided it wasn’t worth it
Eric hadn’t gone too much into the details of the plot, so James saw it as an ordinary love story
It’s not that Hollywood had never done romantic comedies, it’s just that it usually didn’t do that well at the box office At this point in time anyways, people preferred action or science fiction movies, even thrillers did better than rom-coms
Noticing that theabout the script’s content, Eric breathed a sigh of relief If James had asked for it, he really wouldn’t have been able to refuse him Sleepless in Seattle would do wonders at the box office, so giving it up to the man just because of a small favor made him really reluctant
The topic of the conversation soon changed and Sleepless in Seattle was also te, that when the movie was released and made over 200 millionat the box office ide, James wept until no tears were left
“Eric, I heard that you plan on releasing Pretty Woman on Valentine’s Day, which wouldin five weeks If you include the post-production and the reviewing, I think you’re taking a huge risk time-wise”
Eric confidently said: “Don’t worry, I’ve already started the preparations teeks ago, so we’ll start shooting next week There’s really not that much to film either, we’ll be able to submit the movie in time”
In his previous life, it had taken twelve weeks to shoot Pretty Woes, even the script had been tweaked beyond recognition
Normal directors usually used up dozens hours of film rolls, soet money and valuable time
However, Eric was different, he had seen the edited version of thewas simply a formality
Granted, there was still the fact that some of the actors were different, but he was also confident that as long as they did their jobs correctly, he could at least reduce the used up filh time for the post-production
