Chapter 583 Girls' Comics
In the carriage, there was silence and the air was slightly tense. Obviously nothing special happened, but the looming roar of the engine outside the parking lot was like a burning flame, which made the mood change. I became restless and anxious, fidgeting and constantly adjusting my body posture.
"McGee..."
Eric could hardly bear it. McGee was like a hedgehog in the driver's seat. He kept moving and the seat made a squeaking noise. , torturing his ears, he couldn't help but call out.
McGee responded, turned his head, tucked his loose hair behind his ears, and looked at Eric with a puzzled face, completely unaware of the noise he made.
Eric's words swirled on the tip of his tongue for a moment before he finally swallowed them.
"I'm thirsty and want to ask you if you want to buy a cup of coffee..."
McGee bit his nails, "Let's forget it. I drank coffee and wanted to go to the toilet. Maybe Is Anson coming out soon?"
As he said that, McGee couldn't help but look at the elevator entrance of the parking lot.
Before Eric could speak, McGee comforted himself by talking to himself.
"It's okay, wait, wait."
"Remember the last time we met with Universal Pictures? We just waited for nearly two hours for the producer, and now it's only thirty minutes No, Anson is probably sitting in the waiting room, waiting boredly.”
Having said that, McGee couldn’t stop biting his nails, as if he was rejecting the Wagyu steak, savoring every bite. A little taste.
Eric was already extremely nervous, but now because of Mikey, his anxiety doubled. His throat was almost on fire, and his rapidly beating heart seemed like it might explode at any time. He felt like he was about to go into shock.
The space in the underground parking lot seemed to be closed and imprisoned, and the air and time were all stagnant. Now they finally understood what Amber was about. They were trapped in a transparent cage, unable to move, and outside. Isolated from the world, time seems to be passing but not passing at all. The sense of trance makes people feel at a loss as to what to do.
Eric was seriously considering whether he should go out and buy a cup of coffee, just to get some fresh air even if he wasn't thirsty.
At this moment——
“Anson.”
McGee squeezed out an exclamation from his throat. Eric looked up and saw it at a glance. When Anson walked out of the elevator, the two of them were in a hurry.
McGee rushed forward suddenly, but was pulled back again. It took him a moment to realize the seat belt. He hurriedly tried to unbuckle the seat belt, but became more and more anxious and confused. Safety The belt cannot be opened.
Eric had already rushed out of the car and took two steps forward. Only then did he notice McGee's absence and turned around to call out.
"McGee?"
McGee still didn't unbuckle his seat belt, "Leave me alone, I'm fine, Anson...Anson!"
Eric hurried He hurriedly stepped forward, but just before he walked out, Anson had already come over, so the two of them came back. Eric escorted Anson into the back seat like a guard, sprinted back to the passenger seat, and turned around eagerly to look at Anson. Lest you miss the point.
Anson looked at the two eager faces in front of him and couldn't help but laugh, "Let us get out of here first, what do you think?"
McGee patted his forehead and said, "Yes, yes, yes."
Start and set off.
Like a driver, McGee turned to look at Anson, "Where are we going now?"
"'in-and-out', I need to replenish some energy. It's already past lunch. Is it time?”
First Warner Bros., and then New Line Cinema——
Here's the new line.
After leaving Warner Bros., Anson and his team came non-stop to New Line Cinema, which is also located in Century City. Anson still went upstairs alone and went straight to the topic. He was busy all morning, without any thought at all. Realizing the passage of time, lunch time has passed.
"in-and-out", this is a burger chain only in California. Its characteristic is that in order to ensure the quality of the chain, they only open in California. The tender and juicy patties make them far and near. It is so famous that it has become a specialty of California. In 2013, Ang Lee won his second Oscar for Best Director for "Life of Pi". After the awards ceremony, the image of Ang Lee holding the statuette and eating a burger was widely circulated on the Internet. The burgers here are "in-and-out".
McGee nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "I was just telling Eric that we need to fill our stomachs."
Eric:? ? ? when?
But Mikey no longer cared about talking to Eric and quickly glanced at the rearview mirror.
“Ahem.”
“Anson, uh, so, is things... going well?”
“You just came up for a short while, don’t you? Didn’t meet? Or..."
Stuttering, hesitating to speak, a bad idea is already spinning on the tip of his tongue, but he dare not say it, for fear that it will come true as soon as he says it-
Thirty minutes?
To be precise, in less than thirty minutes, twenty-five minutes at most, Anson ended the interview with New Line Cinema. It seemed that it was over before he even had time to sit on the hot chair.
There was no news just now, and the two of them were restless; but now that the meeting ended too quickly, the two of them were gripped by an ominous premonition.
McGee turned to look at Eric, and the two quickly exchanged glances:
From their experience, a meeting that ends so quickly often means failure. The other party is not interested at all, and they are dismissed hastily, or they are left with a script and nothing is done.
Uneasiness spreads in the pupils.
Anson did not notice the exchange of glances between Eric and McGee, but he knew that the two screenwriters must be waiting for the result, so he did not continue to tell the truth, and the answer was revealed directly after the car left the underground parking lot.
“We had a brief meeting, exchanged opinions, and confirmed our ideas. New Line Cinema is willing to invest in the production of this project, with me as the producer. In addition, they will send an executive producer to be responsible for specific work matters. . ”
In an understatement, Anson threw a big punch.
There was no response from the front seat of the vehicle for a moment.
McGee and Eric exchanged glances, but they didn't seem to understand.
Because McGee was driving, Eric simply turned around and looked at Anson behind him. When he was about to speak, he realized that his mind was so messed up that he had no time to react. His words were stuck and he blinked.
"Uh, you mean...?"
Anson looked at Eric, "They agreed to cooperate."
One second, two seconds.
Time froze briefly, and then Eric turned around silently, raised his right hand, bit his coat, and let out a muffled roar——
Ah!
Ahhhh!
Ah!
All the roars were muffled in the clothes, but the surging and surging tension could still be felt.
Besides, Mikey was stunned for a moment, but did not speak. He just opened the car window, looked out the window, raised his chin and soaked in the sunshine.
Just when Anson was wondering what kind of young romantic movie hero McGee was playing, McGee shouted at the passing cars without warning.
“We’re about to shoot a movie!”
“We’re about to shoot a movie, woo woo hoo.”
Tears drifted away in the wind.
