Along the way, Eric was racking their brains to think about how to explain this matter to Barry · Diller. At the celebration of 《Pretty Woman》, the two of them have passed the problem of the lower film, which is almost equal to the default that the next film will be released by Fox in the summer file.

Now there is a sudden change in hexagrams, and it is difficult to predict what reaction Fox will have. If possible, Eric does not want to be wicked with any film giants. His current strength is not strong enough. It is difficult to say whether he will hurt his muscles due to the suppression. What's more, Fox is also holding the distribution rights of his three movies, which involves hundreds of millions of USD profits. Because of the entanglement from time to time, Eric accidentally broke a red light, but fortunately nothing happened.

Finally arrived at Fox Headquarters. After Eric reported his identity, he came all the way to the office of Barry · Diller.

"Mr. Williams, please wait a few minutes, Chairman is meeting." The secretary of Barry · Diller led Eric into the outside lounge, carefully serving a cup of coffee for Eric.

Eric glanced curiously at the door of the Barry · Diller office. The sound insulation of the office is very good, and there is no sound at all here. The young and beautiful female secretary noticed the curiosity of Eric and hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Fox TV Station Manager."

Eric raised the eyebrow had to throw a thankful look at the girl who had pretended to have nothing to do, and it seemed that she had not just said anything. This girl is really personal. In a simple sentence, it can be said that almost nothing was revealed, but it was a small favor for Eric. Moreover, when the girl leaned over, I didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. The breastplate just appeared in front of Eric. I didn't want to remember the name of the other party.

Waiting patiently for seven or eight minutes, a middle-aged man opened the door dejectedly and walked out of the office. Glimpse at the Eric sitting on the lounge sofa, looking at him through the glass, the middle-aged man quickly put away the frustrated expression, politely nodded to Eric, and then hurriedly left.

"Mr. Williams, you can go in."

Eric walked into the office, and a faint smell of smoke was scattered in the air. Several cigarette butts piled up in the ashtray in front of Barry · Diller.

"Eric, let you wait for a long time." After Eric entered the door, Barry · Diller had put away the emotion just now, but Eric still saw the remaining anger on the other person's face.

"It's just a few minutes." Eric said, and under the direction of Barry · Diller, he walked to the opposite sofa and sat down.

Barry · Diller did not explain anything, but when it comes to the identity of the middle-aged man who just left, Eric still guessed the reason why the other party got angry, nothing more than the unsatisfactory performance of Fox TV Station. The three major TV Stations of ABC, NBC and CBS have held North America Wireless TV Market for so many years, it is impossible for a latecomer to easily become bigger and threaten their status.

From this point of view, Barry · Diller is indeed a media wizard. previous life is under the pressure of the three major TV Station, and it has just developed Fox TV Network to become the fourth largest TV Station of North America.

After a few chats, Barry · Diller asked Eric about it.

Eric did n’t come up with any euphemisms along the way, but could only be straightforward: "Mr. Diller, I am afraid my next movie cannot be released by Fox."

Barry · Diller made sure that he heard correctly, and frowned immediately, his eyes narrowed. I have just heard some bad news from the Fox TV Station Manager mouth. Unexpectedly, the mood has not been completely converted, and there is another bad news.

"Eric, do you want to default? Have you thought about the consequences of doing so?"

Since the matter has been spread out, Eric no longer looks ahead and looks directly at Barry · Diller's gaze: "Mr. Diller, I do not intend to default, and the contract does not prohibit me from cooperating with other Film Studio, and there are no regulations The specific schedule of the three movies, so I only need to deliver to the Fox three movies before the end of the year. "

Barry · Diller froze for a moment, and a little regret appeared.

He originally signed the contract. The cooperation of Eric with other Film Studios is not prohibited. This is indeed an oversight of Fox. Because the staff who drafted the contract paid most of their attention to the details of "Home Alone". And Eric one sign is three movies, Hollywood can guide three movies a year Director very few, most Director if it can maintain the speed of one movie a year, it is considered a high-yield. Who would have thought that this young man had such a strong energy?

But there is no stipulation of the film's schedule, but it is Barry · Diller intentionally. When the contract was drafted, Fox was not too optimistic about the other two movies that Eric requested to be bundled. Therefore, although Eric specifically mentioned the issue of the schedule, I hope that all three movies will be placed on the popular holiday schedule. For this reason, it is also related to Barry. Diller had a small dispute, but Fox finally rejected it for various reasons.

Fox also has his own ideas. Once the first two films of Eric are not optimistic, Fox can also easily put these two films in the unpopular spring or autumn files, which will not occupy too much resources of Fox. , And can perform the contract smoothly.

Who would have thought that the next 《Pretty Woman》 of Eric was again a big success, making it impossible for everyone to judge this teenager by reason of luck or the like. Many fans are also looking forward to his next movie.

And now, in the office where the atmosphere is a little stagnation, when Eric said what he just said, Barry · Diller only found that he had previously smugly rejected the Eric's schedule request, but now it has become a big cocoon. Wrap yourself in.

"Eric, the percentage of 35 is not enough to satisfy you? The cost of 《Pretty Woman》 is only 7million USD. If you subtract the advertising sponsorship of 1 million from Lamborghini, the actual cost of the movie is 6 million. And Fox has paid so far The cost of announcement has exceeded 15 million USD, which is 2.5 times and 2.5 times the cost of your movie! We only took 20%. With this profit split, what are you unsatisfied? "

At the end of Barry · Diller, there was almost a roar in the tone, and there was a forceful momentum all over him. He just returned from Europe last night. After a few days of hard work, he has n’t even slept well. He heard the news that a new drama Fox was strangled by the three major TV Station in the early morning. .

I just reprimanded Fox TV Station Manager and rushed out of the office, but I got bad news again. The anger that had just been suppressed erupted again.

Eric was not frightened by the momentum of Barry · Diller, calmly retorted: "Although Mr. Diller and Fox paid the price of 15 million USD, they can get more profits than 80 million, so I do n’t owe you anything, to be honest , When I came, I was always very upset. I did n’t want to talk to Fox, I just wanted to have a good talk. "

The teenagers who saw the opposite party were neither scared by themselves nor shouted at themselves arrogantly. Instead, they refuted themselves in a hurry. Barry · Diller quickly calmed down and found that his ability to control emotions was even dissatisfied. The 20-year-old is not as good. Introspecting himself, Barry · Diller sat back in his executive chair and took a few deep breaths. The eyes still stared at Eric and said: "Okay, Eric, you ... what are the new conditions, can you talk about it first?"

Eric realized that Barry · Diller did not fully understand what he meant and explained: "Mr. Diller, I did not intend to amend the contract. What I just said was not intended to get Joe to get more from Fox Benefits. Someone offered conditions that I could n’t refuse and wanted to win the distribution rights for my next movie. ”

Barry · Diller vertical and horizontal Hollywood for so many years, after calming down at this moment, I quickly thought of a possibility and asked: "Columbia?"

Eric nodded.

Barry · Diller bowed his head silently, took out a cigarette and lit it, and took a deep breath. Now that Columbia has moved Eric, indicating the conditions for the other party's opening, Fox is impossible to take out. All actions of Columbia are aimed at rushing up the stock price and obtaining more benefits from Japanese. At this time, in order to pull the Eric new film over, the other party will not be crazy about what crazy conditions they are opening.
