"I hope that we can cooperate happily in the future, Eric," after signing the thick contract, Robert Shay stood up with a smile on his face.

Eric also stood up, holding the hand extended by Robert Shay: "That is for sure, Robert."

On the last day of August, after nearly a month of negotiations between the two parties, Firefly Film Studio owned by Eric finally acquired the new Hollywood Film Studio line at a price of 15% of the shares and 60 million USD cash. The scale of the two companies is far less than the Hollywood giant Columbia Film Studio that Sony wants to acquire, nor does it involve too many interests and games like Columbia, plus both sides have a strong willingness to cooperate, so the price is negotiated After that, everything became logical.

As the upstart of Hollywood and the old second-tier Film Studio, the merger of Firefly and the new line attracted the attention of many media. After the signing ceremony, the two parties also followed the media's request and held a brief press conference. The next thing is of course to celebrate party.

Although Eric does not want to participate in similar entertainment, he prefers to stay quietly in the study room, but since living in such a country, such things as party are always inevitable, if not a lot of invitations are rejected In his current capacity, he can almost be said to receive invitations from various receptions party every day.

"Eric, I heard that you were in charge of the" The Others "test piece of screenwriter, was it popular?"

"Yeah. But you must know that, I have signed a distribution contract with Disney," The Others "and 《Steel Magnolias》 together. Disney gave a very high share price, it is difficult to refuse." Eric Nodded his head and briefed Robert on the situation at that time.

He thought that Robert Shay remembered the right to issue "The Others", so he patiently explained to the other party. Now that the contract has been signed, Robert Shay is now even his own. He will serve as the new CEO of Firefly Film Studio, along with Jeffrey who is redesignated as Chairman. In the next few months, the two companies will be fully integrated.

"No, I think you misunderstood what I meant." Robert Shay shook his head and said: "I didn't want the distribution rights of" The Others ". In fact, this is the case. Since" The Others "is very popular, then I miss you I ’m definitely good at writing horror movies like script. So, I think you can personally manipulate 《A Nightmare on Elm Street》 ’s next script, what do you think? "

Hearing the request of Robert, Eric remembered the new line about 《A Nightmare on Elm Street》 materials that I have seen before. As a very important series of horror films for the new line, Firefly collected more detailed data during the negotiation process, which is more than Eric ’s mind. Mixed memories are much more accurate, although 《A Nightmare on Elm Street》 first part only has 25 million Box Office. But because the cost was very low, the new line also made a lot of money at the time, although the production and distribution costs of the next three parts gradually increased. In the end, it made money.

However, the situation of the latest "Ghost Street 5" is not optimistic. This new work was released on August 11th. Up to now, in three weeks, I only got the Box Office of 1more than 6 million USD. In the end, Box Office is about 22 million USD. After getting the share from the theater line. Excluding the production and distribution costs of about 10 million yuan, the new line is equivalent to not making much money.

Remembered carefully. Eric said: "The horror style of Robert and 《A Nightmare on Elm Street》 has been fixed, and I certainly can't write any new bridge sections. In my opinion, according to the latest Box Office data of 《A Nightmare on Elm Street》, I think this series can be temporarily stopped. Now that the audience is tired of the murderous plot in Freddie ’s dream, then we will forcefully make a sequel, and it will only be worth the loss. If we keep it cold for a few years, after the new generation of young audience grows up, and the old generation of viewers feel nostalgic, Restarting this series is the most suitable choice. "

When Robert Shay heard Eric, his expression changed slightly imperceptibly. 《A Nightmare on Elm Street》 is a new line of housekeeping horror series. Although intellectually speaking, he understands that Eric just said it is very reasonable, but he is still very uncomfortable. Just signed a contract with Firefly, Eric intends to cut off the sequel of 《A Nightmare on Elm Street》, this Reminiscent of the ancient times that he annexed the king of another country to cleanse the forces in the new territory and erase the original mark of the other party.

After all, Eric is a man of two generations, so when he noticed the change in Robert Shay ’s appearance, Eric quickly understood the other ’s mind. He did n’t want to bury the rift for the cooperation between the two parties because of this low-cost horror film, so he quickly remedied Tao: "However, Robert, this is just some of my personal insights. You know that I am still a newcomer at Hollywood. Many things must not be considered so clearly. So if you think it is necessary, the sequel of 《A Nightmare on Elm Street》 can continue to be produced. As far as I know, both the third and fourth parts received more than 40 million Box Office, maybe this time it was just an accidental mistake. "

Robert Shay's expression softened slightly, and he also realized that Eric was compromising to himself. Since the other party made a concession, of course, he wouldn't look back and say: "So, Eric, just say what you say, but I think it is not good to end immediately, we will make another final chapter next year ... , Called "The Ultimate Nightmare of Menggui Street", for the time being to make an end to this series, I believe that the gimmick of the ending chapter is placed here, and I can definitely get a good Box Office. "

"This is indeed a good way," Eric also admired the wit of Robert Shay, so he made a small promise: "Maybe, I can help with the last script."

"Really?" Robert Shay couldn't help but confirm it. He thought that just Eric said it was a clear rejection. The value of script written by Eric was recognized in Hollywood.

"Of course!"

Eric nodded decisively, and at the same time added a sentence to his heart that of course did not participate in the signature, he did not care about the nickname and interests of 《A Nightmare on Elm Street》 that screenwriter. However, in the event of a signature, the final release of the word-of-mouth is not good, and it is affirmed to be scolded. Among the large group of originals, even if it is only screenwriter, he is definitely the most conspicuous one, and will definitely become the focus of the fans' firepower.

Although there are often non-wet shoes standing by the river, Eric does n’t want to get close to the river for a year or two and is involved in bad films. The Box Office that makes the movie is unfavorable is the sharpest chip in his hands now. Because of one or two bad films that have little to do with yourself, to reduce this important chip weight, it is definitely worth the loss.

At the same time, this is also the reason why Eric is just copying and copying the classic film in his mind for the time being, but not according to his own wishes. shoots is completely his own movie. Maybe after a few years, everything is settled, and his status in Hollywood is completely untouchable. Then, he will definitely make a few movies that previous life does not have, and he is very interested. (To be continued)
