At five o'clock in the afternoon, Firefly Headquarters opened a full day to discuss the Firefly development plan for the next two years.
After Robert Shay left, after two months of reorganization and integration, Firefly is now like a refitted sports car on the fast lane. Therefore, both the veterans of Firefly and the new executives who have just been integrated into this big family are in a state of euphoria with their vision of the future in the conference room. The one-day meeting has not caused them any fatigue state.
So far, the only person Eric has tried to annex the Disney's plan knows is himself and Jeffrey father and son. Moreover, the annexation of an industry giant like Disney, even if it is launched from the second half of this year, even if everything goes well, it will take at least a year. In the later period, it will take longer to incorporate Disney into the Firefly system, so the development of Firefly itself is still the top priority.
The core business of Firefly is currently only two major parts of film and TV. In terms of TV business, before owning its own TV Station, Eric does not mean to expand. As long as the three TV programs already in hand are operated well, it brings The profit is enough for any production company to envy.
So, today we are talking about Firefly ’s film production plan for the last two years. Among the seven major Hollywood Film Studios, in addition to the half-dead Metro Goldwyn Mayer, the other six majors release about ten to twenty movies each year. Films invested often occupy half of this figure.
Although Firefly already has seven potentials, the road also needs to be step by step, so Eric plans to complete the production and distribution of five movies this year, and expand this number to eight to ten next year. Later, you may need to plan with Disney.
Expansion of production scale. It also means that the investment risk of the film has increased, but for Eric with Goldfinger, this problem is not a problem at all. Although he cannot intervene in each film, it is in the early stage of the project. Eric has absolute veto power. In this way, he can minimize the production risk of Firefly movies and lose a few projects. It is not without any benefits. This allows Hollywood to relax its vigilance against Firefly.
After discussing the last topic. The new CEO Michael Lynn turned around and whispered to the Eric sitting on his right hand: "Eric, do you have anything to add?"
Eric closed the memo in front of it and said, "No, let's implement today's resolution as soon as possible."
Michael Lynn nodded, announcing the adjournment to the heads of departments in the conference room.
Michael Lynn hesitated to watch Eric leave his meeting room with his assistant. Instead of catching up, he stopped Jeffrey, who was also leaving: "Jeffrey, wait for me."
Jeffrey stopped and waited for Michael Lynn to walk side by side with him, before starting to go out: "Mike, what's the matter with me?"
"Are you free at night, go for a meal together?" Michael Lynn asked.
Jeffrey looked at Michael Lynn's expression and smiled and asked, "Mike, just tell me anything. Don't be so polite, why don't you go to my office?"
"Okay," Michael Lynn smiled. Follow Jeffrey to his Chairman office.
The two of them sat down on the sofa in the corner of the office. Jeffrey told the secretary to make coffee for the two, and then they smiled and said, "Is there something happening at work? You are not embarrassed to tell Eric directly, tell me to tell me In fact, you do n’t need to be so cautious, you should understand. If it ’s not that the differences between Robert and Eric cannot be reconciled at all, Eric wo n’t do that at all. As long as you think about Firefly, he will not put anything in his face Angry. "
Michael Lynn heard Jeffrey say this. Thinking of his purpose, his expression became a little embarrassed, and said: "Of course I know this, but in fact I call you just something trivial."
Jeffrey paused and suddenly tentatively asked, "Isn't it also the cast of" Twister ", even you have been found?"
Michael Lynn did cough a few times: "It ’s wma ’s McDonald who personally found me. I owed him an adult, please, it ’s not easy to shirk."
Jeffrey also understands the difficulties of Michael Lynn and says, "Show me the list."
Michael Lynn took a note from the suit pocket and handed it over. Jeffrey took it and looked at it, shaking his head and laughing: "Even John Travolta has been pushed over, do they want to get the actor?"
"I also explained to MacDonald," Twister "is a special effects movie, but he said that as long as the role is obtained, the film pay can be discussed."
Jeffrey said: "The total compensation budget for" Twister "is only 5 million USD. Eric planned to use the second and third line Actor at the beginning. His compensation for Pacula is 300,000, so the actor is probably the same number. John Travolta last year's" Flying Childhood "Box Office broke 100 million, still considered a first-tier star, even if he lowers the salary, he ca n’t reduce it too much. As for the scheme of discounting the salary into shares, it is impossible to use Eric. If you want to use a first-line male Actor, Tom Hanks is also There is a schedule, his manager has also contacted Eric, but Eric refused. "
Michael Lynn smiled and said: "I know these too, but I am only responsible for handing over the list to you. Even if I return McDonald's favor, I have not promised him anything else."
"Then, let me ask Eric to give WMA ’s McDonald a personal phone call. This face Eric will still be given to you. Even caa started to show us some time ago, I guess wma mainly just want to To establish contact with Eric for future cooperation. "
Michael Lynn said relaxedly: "This is the best. If Eric comes forward, even if the relationship of Macdonald is completely returned, I will not owe him anything in the future."
The Hollywood film industry has been developed for hundreds of years. Although the various systems are very sound, this is only a relative concept. Networking still plays a vital role in Hollywood, otherwise Jews will not control most of Hollywood. The state of resources.
Eric received a call from Jeffrey in the car back to Malibu. By the way, I also chatted with Michael Lynn and agreed.
In fact, whether it is the news released by Firefly, or the comments of various professional magazine of Hollywood, they have made a detailed analysis of the role of Actor in Twister, the main special effect of Eric. Although most people know no matter how big the Actor is. In this movie, it will be reduced to the supporting role of Twister, but it can't stop the enthusiasm of many Actor to chase the role of this movie.
According to the results of Eric's previous movies, as long as he himself "Director" "Twister" is not too bad, global Box Office guaranteed 300 million USD is certainly no problem.
According to the average fare of 10USD, it is equivalent to Actor having a familiar face in front of 30 million people, and as long as it is remembered by viewers of this size. Other Film Studio are also happy to use these Actor, which are relatively familiar and cheap in the audience. Those who participated in "Twister" Actor are equivalent to mastering an "iron rice bowl". With good luck starring in a hot movie, it can be successfully squeezed into the ranks of first-line stars.
"Twister" currently the main casting object is Actor of Hollywood second and third line. This is an excellent opportunity for the Actor who wants to come forward, and it is no wonder that so many people are turning around and contacting Eric himself.
Back to Cliff Peak Manor, the security guard at the gate told Eric that Drew was back.
Eric just walked into the villa and heard the sound of small girl leaning up from the sofa on the other side of the hall. His small arm was looking at Eric on the back of the sofa chair. Sweet smile.
Eric walked over and pinched the girl's face: "Pretend to be cute. How come back today?"
Drew asked: "Eric, did you forget something?"
Eric took off his coat and hung it on the hanger beside him, walked to the sofa and sat down. Lean back on the back of the chair: "Go pour me a glass of water, and I'll think about it after drinking."
The girl strayed on the Eric like a wild cat, and the two little white legs in hot pants were still rubbing on the Eric: "You think about it first, then think about it."
"It's really not considerate, okay, I think about it." Eric rubbed his temples, and quickly showed a sudden look in the girl's expectation. Raised his hand and shot it on the white and tender thighs of small girl: "I remembered it, Quentin Tarantino bastard. I didn't get script out this month. It is estimated that he didn't want to finish the five films he owes Firefly in about ten years. I ’m going to call in person to remind myself. "
Looking at Drew's eyes flashing a few times, a layer of mist suddenly flashed, Eric quickly smiled and said: "Okay, okay, your 16th birthday, how could I forget."
"More than that, what else?"
"Also, um, according to the California law, you can be financially independent at the age of 16, and you will never be bound by your mother again."
"What else?"
"You can drive?"
"No, neither is it, you promised me."
Eric hugged the girl ’s soft waist: "I do n’t need to say this, there is ears in the partition, here is California."
Drew lay on the body of Eric and leaned into his ear and said: "Eric, will we go to Las Vegas on our birthday?"
"I have to call my private lawyer first to consult. I don't know the laws of Nevada."
"I called Edward."
Eric was a little surprised: "What did you say?"
"Frankly speaking, what is this?"
Eric pushed the small girl posted on himself: "Okay, hurry and pour me a glass of water, discussing this kind of thing with you seriously makes me feel awkward, and besides, where else on you? I have n’t seen it, hey, there ’s nothing new about it. "
Drew angrily struck Eric and stood up reluctantly to pour a glass of water to Eric.
Eric took a few sips from the glass and asked, "Are you and Liz sure about the next movie of TG's?"
"Well, we picked four scripts, only two of them were grabbed, the other two were taken by Paramount and Columbia, the prices of the two scripts obtained were also greatly increased, and Liz was furious. No. "
Eric can imagine that kind of scene. Although he did n’t intervene at all this time, he did n’t even know what type of script a few women chose, but others would not think so. The Seventh Congress must think that these scripts have passed his hand. If it is not the relationship of Elizabeth, it is estimated that Fox will also jump out and compete without hesitation.
"Two films will do, and two films a year is more than enough for TG."
Drew sat down next to Eric and said, "I think so too. By the way, for Eric, I have completed the withdrawal procedures, and I will concentrate on learning to be a film producer with Liz."
Eric was earlier than just knows. The principal of the boarding school called Eric after the girl applied. Anyway, small girl did n’t even want to study. Eric sent her to the boarding school. She has not spent a total of several months in school.
"That's it, you can't learn anyway, don't you say anything about Mama?"
Drew pouted her mouth: "What can she say, she is worried that I will get a penny from me after my 16th birthday. These days I'm always nagging her in my ears It ’s not always easy to pull me. Obviously, I ’ve been supporting my family since six months. Anyway, after my birthday, I moved out of the house. I have bought a small villa in Beverly. 《The Silence of the Lambs》 is divided into Oh, next to their new home Liz. "
"Liz them? You mean she and Julia, they still live together?"
"Yeah. Don't you know?" Drew asked back, and said: "Oh, you were in New York some time ago. They moved in those days, and they have one more child at home."
Drew said here, his expression became weird.
Eric remembered something and asked, "What's going on?"
Drew quickly proved Eric ’s guess: "Julia's Elder Brother and his girlfriend gave birth to a little girl, neither of whom was willing to raise. Julia adopted the child. The news has not been revealed yet, it is estimated that it will take some time Julia will officially issue a statement. After all, there is one more child suddenly. If you do n’t say anything, others will surely think that this is her illegitimate daughter. That will be more lively. "
"Then ... what is the name of the little girl?"
"Emma," Drew said, lying on Eric with a smile again: "They plan to call the little girl Emma.Robert.Murdoch."
"Wow," Eric was almost surprised that the cup in his hand almost fell to the ground: "Emma Roberts.Murdoch, are you sure?"
"Surprised, anyway, they intend to register the name for that little girl," the smile on Drew's face becomes even more outlandish: "They are clearly not gay, they just don't want to admit it. I think you have done more in the past , They face reality. "
Eric smiled and said: "consider as finished, I wo n’t mix it up, let them go, I just do n’t know what Mr. Murdoch would know if I have a little granddaughter."
Drew also laughed: "Actually, I originally suggested to them that the little girl called another name."
"What name?"
The Drew eyeball turned and sold a small pass before saying: "Emma Roberts.Murdoch.Williams."
Eric sprayed out a sip of water and quickly pulled out the paper towel on the coffee table in front of you to wipe it: "It's too messy."
Although he said so, he was thinking of something else. In memory, Emma Roberts was simply spoiled by Julia as a little witch, a small man, but a violent man who would beat his boyfriend with bruises and bruises. .
If you have Julia, you will be spoiled like this. If this little girl is really crowned with the three surnames Roberts, Murdoch and Williams, it is estimated that Hollywood will be lifted upside down in the future.
The girl ’s face twitched, and Eric smiled and scolded: "Why do n’t you add your‘ Barrymore ’in the middle, Emma Roberts.Murdoch.Barrymore.Williams, what a domineering name."
Drew broke away from the magic hand of Eric and lifted his small chin to reveal a sudden look: "How come I didn't expect it? I will discuss with them tomorrow."
The girl obviously regarded this as a fun thing, and Eric was too lazy to take care of it. Anyway, he felt that Elizabeth and Julia could not agree, so let her go and make fun of it. (To be continued)
