Eric is a senior producer. His name can be seen on the list of producers of works such as "Ace Big Spy", "Cat Wearing a Hat", "Being a Big Hero", etc. He has produced commercial movies that have hit box office and also launched art movies that have performed outstandingly in the awards season. He can be called a versatile player. +◆

"Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl", Eric did not join the production, but after the sequel entered the preparation stage, he joined the producer list. Obviously, Disney hoped that Eric could bring more changes and novelty to this series, and also demonstrated their ambition to make the series films more magnificent and magnificent - the huge crew naturally needed more producers to work together to check and cooperate.

When Eric joined the crew, this incident itself shows Disney's affirmation of him; and today, Disney sent Eric as an envoy to communicate with Lance, which also shows Disney's trust in him. Of course, there is no reason why "both people are new outsiders" are mixed.

But I don’t know if Eric was sent by Robert Eger or Michael Esner. Going closer, Michael got to know that Lance, a stranger, has entered the sequel to the "Pirates of the Caribbean"? And what about Eric? Does he understand the game behind it, or has he chosen to take the lead?

Another scene was over. Lance looked at the time, and there were only 40 minutes left before lunch time, so he told Albert that the lunch break was half an hour ahead of today, and then turned around and walked towards Eric, who was standing behind the computer special effects production team.

From a distance, Eric could be seen behind his back with his hands behind his back, quietly observing the work of the special effects team. Since he was not far or near, the assistant standing next to him didn't know what to do. He couldn't just pull Eric away and raised his head. He saw Lance walking towards him with a nervous expression and wanted to speak, but Lance raised his hand, stopped him, and then signaled that he could leave.

Eric could sense the departure of the "monitor" beside him. Even without looking back, he knew that it must be the real owner who came. Sure enough, in a short while, he caught a black shirt in his sight, and could only vaguely see the outline of a figure, but the light woody fragrance made people feel very comfortable.

Eric was originally planning to speak, but after a moment of thinking, he chose to shut up. He was very curious about how Lance would deal with the current situation. So he fell silent. But to his surprise, Lance was still silent, just standing quietly beside him, as if he was not in a hurry at all. Just as he almost wanted to give up and turned to look at Lance, he heard Lance's voice, "If you are interested in computer special effects, we can go forward and observe a little closer."

Lance was indeed the first to speak. After all, he was the master, but it was not the answer Eric was expecting. Lance actually regarded him as a tourist who came to watch the scene and took photos. He was a little curious about what the hell was selling in Lance's gourd. "Of course, why not?" Eric agreed. He originally thought Lance would be in trouble, but Lance did not.

Lance walked forward two steps, then turned around and made an invitation gesture, which made Eric pause, but then smiled and took the step by respectfully.

In recent times, Chaos Pictures has blocked almost all the news about "City of Sin", and also released the news that Detroit is filming the work "Boy Scouts vs. Zombies", confusing the public; even if the reporter came to Austin and faced the blockade like an iron barrel, even the actor's style could not be photographed. From this, it can be seen that Lance's attention to "City of Sin" can definitely be called airtight.

What's more, why Ben Affleck was kicked out of the crew? It's okay for the layman to believe the news, but the insider is not a fool.

But now, Lance looked calm and let Eric go to inquire about the news from the crew. Wouldn't Lance worry about letting the wind out after he left? Eric took a step, observing the crew and Lance, while his brain began to turn quickly.

"So, are you planning to combine computer special effects with actual shooting to get more integration of the two aspects?" Eric was a little surprised because Lance had no reservations - at least it sounded, affectionately introducing many of the creative ideas of "City of Sin" to the forefront, "God, what kind of work are you planning to shoot?"

"Excellent movie." Lance was not humble, but not proud, but answered confidently. The upright words made Eric's sight stay for a while. The point was that Lance avoided Eric's positive questions and just answered vaguely.

Lance turned his head and looked at Eric seriously, "So, are you still satisfied with this Q&A?"

This turning point came a little suddenly, and Eric actually had a short time of half a second, but he quickly reacted, followed Lance's question and asked calmly, "Why do you ask like this?"

Lance showed a surprised expression, "I thought you came on behalf of Disney?" Lance was not kept in the dark, and Eric immediately understood, "So, aren't you here to check my directorial abilities today?"

Is this why Lance took the initiative to show the crew? Eric always felt something was wrong, but he didn't have time to think deeply, because Lance's words were ironic: Disney sent someone to examine Lance's directorial ability, which is a distrust of Lance, but it has a meaningful meaning. Moreover, the recruit like Eric who just joined was sent, which is obviously a question that needs to be answered with caution.

"Haha, I'm here to admire Mr. Strello's crew." A verb change, Eric resolved Lance's ridicule in a polite social conversation. "The rumors have always been said that Mr. Strello's crew is like a dream island, which is desirable."

"So, have you found Peter Pan here?" Lance was not aggressive either. A joke calmed down the atmosphere, and both of them chuckled.

"You can see that you are a guy who likes to jump out of the box." Eric also took back the topic. After the brief test just now, he had a preliminary understanding of Lance. He stopped when he saw it was good. Then he followed the steps handed over by Lance and walked down. "The same is true for Captain Jack Sparrow. I have begun to look forward to the next cooperation."

Lance raised his eyebrows and showed a look of surprise, "So, will you participate in the production of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew?" It seemed as if he didn't know Eric's real purpose before.

But Eric couldn't say anything, but just smiled politely, "Forgive my rudeness and forgot to introduce myself. Eric McClard will join the producer team of "Pirates of the Caribbean" next." Eric followed the etiquette and stretched out his right hand to hold Lance. "I only realized after I had a meeting with Jerry and I that the sequel's guide may be handed over to you, which has aroused my interest. When Jerry and the others said that they needed to hold a meeting with you to discuss your views on the script, I volunteered. Please forgive me for being abrupt. Without informing me, I came to Austin. I must admit that I was very curious about the situation of the crew. There are countless rumors about you in the circle recently."

Eric actually took the initiative to show his goodwill!

This was something Lance had not expected. There were countless information revealed in his words just now: Jerry Brookheimer already knew Robert Iger's abacus, and it was obvious that the open and secret struggles had gradually become clear; Jerry asked to discuss the script, which was to test Lance's ability and not blindly oppose it, at least it showed that the power balance between Robert and Michael was not as big as imagined; Eric volunteered to Ying, he was a new outsider, which showed that the crew was still quite repulsive to replace directors; there were countless rumors in the circle, which meant that everyone was in the waiting and watching stage, after all, the rumors in Hollywood needed to be filtered.

If Lance remembers correctly, Eric is the producer of "Operation Smith". In recent times, the matter between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie has been slightly calmed down, but the negative impact has been caused and cannot be reduced in a short period of time. Although no one knows who the black hand is hidden behind it, there is no airtight wall in the world - Dylan Wilde is a paparazzi, but not the spy leader. Even if Dylan did not reveal any words, "killing with a knife" is the biggest beneficiary of the past period. It is not surprising that some people think of Lance.

So, is Eric's move showing good to Lance? The subtext is that he has no deeper friendship with Brad and Angelina? Or is it a deeper level, is he standing in the same team with Robert? His placement today is the gap in breaking the ice? It implies that Disney has extended an olive branch to him? Or is it all his own random guess?

Lance raised his eyes and saw the deep smile in Eric's eyes. He knew he wasn't thinking too much.

"Haha, I hope you won't be too disappointed after the real meeting." The words were modest and cautious, but the smile on the corner of your mouth was confident and calm. Eric couldn't help but look at Lance for a while, but Lance was not panicked at all. "I originally thought that all this would be postponed a little longer. So, the idea of ​​the script was still very vague." The filming of "City of Sin" has been two-thirds, and it is estimated that it can be completed in mid-February. So Lance's words are the truth. Disney sent an envoy today, a little earlier than expected. It seems that the situation has changed. "However, I think we can sit down and communicate. The creation of the script has never been that simple, right?"
Chapter completed!
