As expected, Lester · Reed groaned inwardly. But in this case, he did not dare to refute, otherwise he would definitely be swept out.

"Mr. Cohen, we may be able to try ... try to negotiate with Eric Williams and re-sign the sharing agreement."

"This is what you came up with?" Blunt · Cohen sneered: "If you are Eric Williams, will you agree to re-sign the agreement?"

Lester · Reed said: "Eric Williams should know that according to the current Box Office trend, it is very unfair for the Columbia with far more investment than him, so ..."

Wait for Lester · Reed to finish, Blunt · Cohen directly shot the table and shouted: "Enough, fair. When have you seen that the world is fair? What I want is a countermeasure, one can fight for more benefits for Columbia Countermeasures, not whimsical. "

Lester · Reed bowed his head silently, no longer speaking. Blunt · Cohen looked at the others and finally landed on Amy · Pascal sitting at the end of meeting table. In the meeting room, there was only Amy · Pascal who was opposed to Eric Williams's gambling agreement, which gave him a glimmer of hope.

Blunt · Cohen slightly eased the tone to Amy · Pascal: "Amy, do you have any good ideas?"

Although Blunt · Cohen was stern in the conference room, Amy · Pascal was a little absent-minded. She was disappointed with Blunt · Cohen in her heart, conservative style, lack of courage, suspicious suspicion, and she was not calm at all. Style, I do n’t know how Coca Cola chose this mediocre Chairman. Amy · Pascal even felt that maybe he should change jobs.

However, when I heard Blunt · Cohen asking myself, Amy · Pascal still sorted out his thoughts and said: "Mr. Cohen, I do n’t have a way to deal with the agreement on gambling. Even if we directly force the movie to downgrade now It is no longer possible to obtain the copyright of "Home Alone" for free, but will face a claim of Eric Williams up to hundreds of millions of USD. "

Speaking of this, Amy · Pascal paused, and gave everyone a chance to think about it, before waiting for Blunt · Cohen to speak again, and then said: "So, what we should do now is to try our best to envelope Eric Williams and seriously take that share The gambling agreement will be carried out to show the sincerity of Columbia. "Home Alone" Box Office exceeds 50 million USD is affirmed, so overseas and other surrounding copyright will return to Eric Williams. Not to mention "Home Alone" will definitely produce a sequel, we will maintain this time Good cooperation attitude. When making the sequel, I believe that with the savvy Eric Williams, I will definitely continue to work with us. I think this is the only way to win more benefits for Columbia. "

After Amy · Pascal finished, the other high-level executives in the meeting room could not help but nod. Although Blunt · Cohen somewhat agrees with Amy · Pascal's point of view, but think of Amy · Pascal and Jeffrey · Hansson and Eric Williams may be friends The suspicious personality made him feel that the recommendations of Amy · Pascal were somewhat biased towards Eric.

So Blunt · Cohen couldn't help but say again: "Amy, you are an employee of Columbia, try to think for the company as much as possible, and don't always look to outsiders. If you can figure out a way to overthrow the agreement on gambling and strive for more for us Many interests, I will immediately promote you. "

As if the scene reappeared a few weeks ago, she worked hard to bring high-quality movie projects for the company, and worked hard to make suggestions for the company. As a result, she was kicked out of the project team of "Home Alone", she felt herself Need to avoid suspicion, no complaints. Then because oneself was the only opponent of the wrong decision and was asked to speak. She once again made suggestions that she thought were reasonable, but she was again questioned.

This makes Amy · Pascal feel a little cold, strong feelings of grievance go straight to the head, she feels a little sour nose, and some liquid in her eyes is difficult to suppress. The woman is made of water. She is just a woman.

Suddenly stood up, and the chair behind was knocked to the ground due to her sudden movement, making a loud noise.

"Mr. Cohen, I will resign!"

The cold female voice sounded in the conference room. After finishing this sentence, Amy · Pascal did not sort out the documents in front of it as before, but turned directly and left the office.

"It's too much, the truth is too much, who does she think she is?" Because Blunt · Cohen, which was at the critical point of "Home Alone", didn't reflect on his mistakes at all, and broke the table again. Turned to the assistant behind him: "Notify the security guard, let that bitch get out of me immediately, don't let me see her in Columbia Headquarters again."

"Okay, Mr. Cohen." The assistant agreed softly, holding his throat, and got up carefully to leave the meeting room.

Take a sip of coffee and stabilize your emotions. Blunt · Cohen said coldly: "Okay, go ahead, all cheer me up, otherwise I do n’t mind signing several more dismissal documents today."

Although many executives think that the Amy · Pascal suggestion is the most correct, after all, those who can sit in this conference room are quite capable professional Manager people. However, Blunt · Cohen has completely fallen into a certain hysterical mood, at this time no one will take the risk of being fired to support the Amy · Pascal proposal.

Therefore, the executives can only discuss it daringly. After several hours of discussion, everyone finally came up with a countermeasure.

As soon as the meeting ended, Blunt · Cohen couldn't wait to say to the assistant: "Help me contact Disney's Michael · Mr. Eisner. I invited him to dinner at night and said that there are important things to discuss about" Home Alone. "

"Okay, Mr. Cohen." The assistant felt that the anger on Blunt · Cohen had disappeared after the meeting, and he was relieved in his heart, and he was no longer so trembling.

......

The next morning, Box Office of 27.55 million USD in the first week of "Home Alone" was revealed by newspaper, which made Eric, which has received a lot of attention, once again become the focus of public opinion. If the news about Eric is just two major giants before the movie is released In order to promote the film, then the media is now self-publishing.

In this case, I went back to Eric of Los Angeles the night before and woke up and found that there was no paparazzi wandering in front of the house, which was already full of reporters. Yes, I can only describe these people with heaps. The number, the clattering piece, holds all kinds of lances and short guns in his hand.

Because Columbia concealed intentionally or unintentionally, Eric did not get Box Office information about "Home Alone" for the first time. But the moment I saw these reporters, Eric just knows, Box Office of "Home Alone" exploded.

Although they are very grateful to these reporters to "notify" themselves in this way, Eric has not dealt with the reporters *. After breakfast, they directly touched the garage and planned to drive out of the reporters' encirclement, go to Columbia Headquarters to check the situation .

However, obviously, previous life Eric has never encountered such a "scenery" moment, so there was an error in the way of coping. As soon as car went out of the house, he was surrounded by a bunch of reporters, and several reporters even climbed to him. On the hood of the car, he asked questions loudly and slammed the Eric in the driver's seat with impunity. Journalists in other directions also frantically knocked on the door and shouted various questions.

"Mr. Eric, how do you think about the Box Office of 27.55 million USD in the first week of" Home Alone "?"

"Mr. Williams, do you think" Home Alone "will exceed" et "?"

"Eric, according to the matchmaking agreement, you are about to become the youngest billionaire of Hollywood. What will you do after you have the money?"

"Mr. Eric, I am a reporter of 《Los Angeles Times》, can I give you an exclusive interview?"

"Eric ......"

"..."

It seems that the 10,000 duck kept yelling in his ears. Although Eric was a little excited about Box Office in the first week of 27.55 million USD, it was more nervous and uneasy. There were too many reporters around car. Not daring to step on the accelerator with his scalp, the fat white reporter in front of car was obviously eager to try, a sloppy look of 'seeking for collision'.
