Received by the waitress, Eric stood up, but saw that there were more than Murdoch alone, and Elizabeth who was holding his father. The girl looked at him with a touch of blame, obviously Elizabeth also knows Eric The location will be selected here to embarrass his father.

After all, she is a woman who has had an intimate relationship with herself, so Elizabeth's light and angry expression makes Eric a little embarrassed.

Since Eric survived this crisis, because of the 《Friends》 lawsuit and the production of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" and "X-Files", Murdoch has proposed to meet with Eric more than once. Eric only agreed after agreeing. , And rejected the proposal to go to the Murdoch family estate, did not invite Murdoch to his own Malibu Cliff Peak Manor, but will be selected in Sunset Boulevard in this downtown restaurant, not only that, Eric also specifically notified paparazzi.

As long as Murdoch's active contact with him is exposed, not only will the media think that Fox is actively bowing down to Eric, other major Film Studio will certainly have bad ideas for Fox, and regard Fox as the seventh. The traitor of the corporate major league.

But Murdoch is obviously not a oil-saving lamp. Not only does it pull up his somewhat ambiguous daughter, but also pretends to be a pitiful look of old age and decay requiring human support. It is estimated that after some media rendering, Eric It will definitely be portrayed as an image of a small-bellied chicken intestine when an old man is young and unapproachable, so that an old man can come to the door to plead for help.

I scolded helplessly. Eric really wanted to pick up a cup of coffee and put it on the head of Murdoch. It ’s too fake. The old guy is still under sixty years old. Okay, as a traverser, Eric But obviously I remember the appearance of previous life Murdoch in my eighties.

Murdoch saw the look of Eric. With an unidentified smile on his lips, he came to Eric and took the initiative to reach out: "Hello Eric. We meet again."

"Hello, Mr. Murdoch." Eric and Murdoch shook hands, and then looked at Elizabeth beside Murdoch. The girl gave him a white eye, but did not want to say hello to Eric.

"Liz, don't be so impolite," although Murdoch was very satisfied with Eric's deflation in front of her daughter, she pretended to be a strict father.

Elizabeth casts a dissatisfied look on her father again. Although she is very convinced that Eric is determined to choose the place to meet. But he didn't agree with his father's approach. He snorted and ignored two men with more eyes than Ma Honeycomb. He walked straight to the table and sat down. He picked up the menu and turned to look at himself.

Murdoch and Eric glanced awkwardly at the same time.

"Mr. Murdoch, let's sit down." Finally, Eric spoke first.

Murdoch nodded and sat down. The three of them ordered food separately. After a little silence, Murdoch took the initiative to find a topic: "Liz. How is the movie you prepared?"

The Elizabeth, who had originally folded his napkin in front of his head and decided not to speak, heard his father directly asking himself, and he said in a frantic voice: "All are ready. Shooting at the end of the month."

"Oh," Murdoch nodded and said, "I heard, what is Heroine ... Jodie Foster, it looks like the acting is good, this movie is definitely very exciting."

Elizabeth looked up at Eric, and then said: "Yes, someone recommended me to let Jodie Foster appear in Heroine. After the audition, I thought it was good. I agreed to it."

Murdoch sees her daughter looking at Eric, without thinking about who the person who recommends Heroine is. He smiled at Eric: "Eric, or this movie will be released by Firefly."

Eric raised the eyebrow. Before waiting to say anything, Elizabeth glared at his father with dissatisfaction: "Papa!"

Eric followed and said: "Mr. Murdoch, Firefly release is irrelevant, but our overseas channels are not yet perfect, I am afraid it will limit the Box Office score of this movie."

Eric finally said a heartfelt truth, Murdoch took Eric ’s words as proof that he was not optimistic about the film. He knew that Firefly ’s distribution capacity was limited, thinking that Eric did not want to use limited distribution resources in a company It's a very good movie, so I refused it so 'euphemistically'.

Actually, Murdoch has also seen the daughter script called 《The Silence of the Lambs》 as the producer. After all, Elizabeth has invested nearly 20 million in this movie, except for the six million that Julia and Drew put together. The investment is borrowed from his father by Elizabeth. Although Murdoch has a strong desire to control, he is still in his 80s in parallel time and space and he refuses to give the power of News Corp to several children, but in other aspects, such as the economy However, Elizabeth has found the life goal of making the movie Producer. Murdoch is of course willing to support him. He took this investment out of his mind. As for whether he makes money or not, he has not considered it at all. Ability.

Also, although Murdoch does n’t know much about movies, but also knows that this script is a cut-type horror movie, this type of movie rarely gets high Box Office, and it is difficult to get awards. Recognized. Therefore, he will only start proposing to let Eric's Firefly release this film. As for the purpose, it is still the same as the original one. I want to match Eric and Elizabeth. Eric has now survived the biggest crisis. The media industry has made great achievements. If such a man can become the husband of his daughter, it will certainly have great benefits for News Corp in the future. Moreover, when Eric was attacked some time ago, the daughter also quarreled with herself, so Murdoch was also determined My daughter has a good opinion of Eric, and the degree is quite deep. Since you have such a foundation, of course, you need to get more contact before you can bear fruit, right?

Thinking of this, Murdoch smiled at Eric: "Eric is just a horror movie. The new line was not originally a special release for horror movies, so I believe Firefly can operate well. Overseas distribution is necessary, Fox will definitely cooperate. "

Murdoch is so 'good-hearted'. Of course, Eric can't refuse anymore. He turned to Elizabeth, but saw the girl's head down with anger, folded and folded a napkin in her hand, and then tore it into a dreadlock.

"Liz, what do you mean?" Eric asked tentatively.

The girl pouted her lips and said, "You can do it."

"Then it's so settled," Murdoch said with a smile like a parent, waiting for Eric and Elizabeth to say anything.

Seeing Murdoch saying this, Elizabeth did not object, and Eric nodded.

At this time, the waiter at the restaurant started serving three people, and the conversation paused briefly. When the waiter opened red wine and poured it for the three, Murdoch took a goblet and took a sip , Praised a few times, and said to Eric casually: "Eric, were you born in 1970?"

The meat play is here.

Thinking about it in Eric's heart, the appearance of memories appeared on the surface: "Yeah, I was born in London, but when I was eight years old, I came to United States, and I have no memory of London."

"You should go back to see if you have time," Murdoch said with emotion: "I remember 30 many years ago, when Liz's grandfather died of heart disease, I had to give up my studies and rush back to take over family affairs, and you are no younger than you. At that time, the newspaper industry in Sydney was dominated by three large families. Seeing the performance of the "Sunday Post" and "Newspaper" that I operated was booming, these two newspaper ideas were launched. Their acquisition After my invitation was rejected many times in a row, I began to use a variety of methods. Within a year, the blame and litigation received by the newspaper company I operated were almost the sum of many years before. I received a death threat. But I did not succumb and spent a full twenty years not only developing my newspaper company into Sydney ’s largest media group, but also in turn acquiring the company I once was an enemy. "

Although Murdoch saw Eric pretending to be casual, he knew that Eric must be listening to himself, so he continued: "So, Eric, what you have experienced during this time, can't be more normal. So , I think you still have to look forward, do n’t always care about these. "

Eric smiled and raised his head: "Of course I am looking forward, Mr. Murdoch, otherwise, we would not be sitting here so peacefully today."

"So," Murdoch tentatively said: "Withdraw the lawsuit on 《Friends》. Also," X-Files "can not worry, but" Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? ", which was originally scheduled to be broadcast in March, is now At the end of February, the whole team hasn't made any changes, Eric, I think you should seize the time. I think it will be a very great time to launch this program after the one-month publicity and waiting for the Oscar award ceremony at the end of the month. Good time. "

"I think so too," Eric swallowed the food in his mouth, wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin, and then stared at Murdoch: "However, Mr. Murdoch, you just said that after you became the first newspaper group in Australia , Which in turn acquired your former enemy ... Then, what to do about this matter, the five movies at the end of Firefly, because of this storm, the loss of Box Office will not be lower than 100 million USD, so the loss of Firefly is not less than 30 million, but I still do n’t know who my enemy is?
