Amy · Pascal directly expressed interest in Eric: "Oh, Eric, you are younger than I thought, when I was as old as you, I just entered college."

"You also look very young, Ms. Pascal," Eric complimented.

Amy · Pascal said with a smile: "Thank you, Eric. Just call me Amy. I like" Jurassic Park "you wrote. I want to ask, is the movie copyright of" Jurassic Park "still in your hands?" /

Eric raised an eyebrow: "Of course."

With the growing popularity of "Jurassic Park" during this time, there have been many Film Studio contacted the movie copyright, but all of them were rejected by Eric. Eric did not plan to sell the adaptation rights of the "Jurassic Park" movie until it had sufficient strength to secure considerable benefits for itself.

"So, I don't know if you want to sell the film adaptation rights of" Jurassic Park "to Columbia, we will offer a very good price?"

Eric said: "Amy, we are not talking about this topic today, and the special effects technology is not yet mature. I have no plans to sell the" Jurassic Park "movie copyright."

"That ’s a shame, okay, let ’s talk about" Home Alone ". Jeffrey appreciates the movie. Based on my knowledge of Jeffrey, he is still very visionary. By the way, I heard that you intended Let 20th Century Fox release this movie, what happened? "

Eric shrugged and said honestly: "20th Century Fox's distribution director Mr. Carter · Hunt did not even watch the film, so he refused."

"Carter · Hunt, I know him, a very arrogant guy." Amy · Pascal laughed: "So, I think, let's watch your movie first."

Eric nodded. Amy · Pascal took Eric and Jeffrey directly to a screening room of Columbia Film Studio Headquarters and handed the copy to the projectionist. Eric sat on the leather seat with the other two.

"Eric, don't you look like you are looking forward to it?" Before the movie began, Amy · Pascal accidentally saw the expression of Eric and ridiculed.

Eric smiled helplessly: "Amy, you know, film was made by me from beginning to end, I have every shot of the movie in my mind, and I have seen it many times. However, I believe you will not be disappointed. Of. "

The light in the projection hall dimmed, Amy · Pascal nodded, and looked back, and at the same time spread a feeling of rushing to the doctor in the heart, Columbia Film Studio now lacks a good movie project is not fake, but how can I fall into one The films made by high school students are not lost, and thinking of these, Amy · Pascal sighed in the dark.

As one of the senior management of Columbia, Amy · Pascal knows the situation of Columbia well. The performance of Columbia Film Studio in the past two years has been unsettled. If it is not for many years that it has accumulated copyright gains brought by a strong film and television movie library, the company will definitely face huge losses.

Compared with the prosperous Disney and 20th Century Fox, and the post-Barry · Diller era, Paramount is still flourishing, Columbia looks like a elderly old man, and he is gloomy. After taking Ghostbusters in 1984, the second place in the North America annual Box Office list , Columbia has not been in the top ten of the Box Office list for three consecutive years. If nothing unexpected, this year it will not. This is a shame for an old film giants.

Columbia ’s parent company Coca Cola suffered heavy losses in the stock market disaster last year. If Columbia is still so sullen and cannot bring profits to the parent company, it may be sold. In fact, Japan ’s Sony Financial Group has released the signal to acquire Columbia Film Studio .

Amy · Pascal had some understanding of Eric. The boy had just graduated from high school. In just a few months, he published the science fiction novel "Jurassic Park". The written script "17 Again" was photographed by 20th Century Fox and was shocked. Everyone stared starring at the actor. If it were not for the blessing of these auras, maybe Amy · Pascal is also the same as 20th Century Fox's Carter · Hunter, and dismissed the movie Eric.

The script of "17 Again" was originally received at Columbia Film Studio. Several producers of the company were also very interested in this movie. However, the condition that Eric attached to his role as a leading actor made it difficult for today ’s cautious investment Columbia to accept. Eventually had to give up.

I heard that Barry · Diller personally approved the plan of "17 Again", compared with the mediocre Blunt · Mr. Cohen, Amy · Pascal sitting on the Columbia Chairman seat, the company's current situation, and That Chairman's lack of courage and conservative personality can't get rid of the relationship.

With the play of "Home Alone", the fun plot and the performance of Stewart · Lunkel Ghost quickly pulled Amy · Pascal's scattered thoughts onto the movie screen.

After the movie finished, Amy · Pascal was surprised or surprised in her heart. She did not believe that this excellent comedy movie was made by the 18-year-old boy in front of her.

Amy · Pascal stood up with excitement on the face and said to Eric: "Eric, can you wait a little bit here? I'll make a call."

From the expressions of Amy · Pascal, Eric knows no surprises, and things have been more than half successful.

After half an hour, seven or eight Columbia Film Studio executives, including Columbia Corporation Chairman Blunt · Cohen, gathered in the auditorium and watched "Home Alone" again.

After watching the movie again in a cheerful atmosphere, it is almost time to finish work, but no one is eager to leave. After more than half of the film's screening, the Columbia senior executives have already started to talk to each other.

In the office of Columbia Film Studio Chairman, Eric and Jeffrey were sitting opposite Blunt · Cohen in their sixties. After the assistant served coffee, Blunt · Cohen sipped a few sips of coffee before speaking: "Eric To be honest, we are very optimistic about the potential of "Home Alone", so we plan to buy out all the copyright of "Home Alone" at a price of 10 million USD, what do you think? "

At the price of 10 million USD, the Jeffrey · Hansson sitting next to him suddenly had a happy expression. The cost of 1 million doubled in a blink of an eye, and if it were him, it would be nodded and agreed immediately.

Blunt · Cohen noticed the expression of Jeffrey · Hansson and showed a satisfied smile. The company estimated the movie Box Office to be around 50 million USD, and this movie can easily be a shoots sequel, and the potential of surrounding copyright is also very good. Big, so after discussing it, I decided to buy out all the copyright of the film at a price that they seem to be high, and naturally bargain after the opening price, so the Columbia Corporation senior has decided to buy out 12 million USD Upper limit.

Ten million USD want to buy out "Home Alone", do you think I am the wrongdoer? Eric slandered, but this is how it is when doing business, sitting on the floor and repaying the money on the spot.

"Mr. Cohen, you must have a preliminary estimate of the value of Box Office in" Home Alone "? Can I know this number?"

Eric did not immediately agree, Blunt · Cohen was a little disappointed, but still said: "Of course, we think that if announcement is appropriate, North America Box Office of" Home Alone "should be around 30 million USD. According to the convention, you as the producer Fang, the share you can get is about 20%, so, Eric, the purchase price of 10 million USD is still very reasonable. The cost of making this movie should not exceed two million, so, Eric, what are you hesitating about? As long as you agree, you will become the youngest multi-millionaire immediately. "
