"Sid Sinberg has been kicked out of Universal by Panasonic. If you do n’t do something, maybe it ’s our turn next," Jon Peters said with worry and reluctance in his tone. For him and Peter Guber, the original Hollywood was second- and third-rate. For Producer, the huge Columbia Film Studio is like a fat and oily barbecue. The two have not yet enjoyed enough of this delicious, of course, they were kicked away so quickly. ,

Peter Guber thought about it for a while, and showed a kind of smile, "In fact, we do n’t have to compete with Firefly at all, how good is the cooperation?"

"Any Film Studio of Hollywood is looking forward to working with Firefly. Do you think it will be our turn?"

Peter Guber shook his head and said, "No, this is not the same. We can afford it at a price that other Film Studio cannot afford."

Jon Peters immediately understood the meaning of Peter Guber. Anyway, Columbia is Japanese. Any price is paid. The loss is Japanese, and the cooperation with Firefly, which is in the limelight of Hollywood, will undoubtedly increase Japanese to hold the two Columbia's confidence, the two people will have enough time to continue to grab private benefits from Columbia.

"Peter, do you have Eric Williams's personal contact information here, maybe we should have a chat with him now."

Peter Guber nodded and said: "Of course."

......

"... Of course no problem, Frank ... Haha, the digital field has never said that it does not accept external movie projects, but do not know the theme of your movie? ... vampire type," Fear of 400 " "Year". Wow. This is a good subject. I believe you will definitely be able to produce an excellent work by shoots ... No problem, I will call Stan in person and ask ... I will tell them to Sophia Say hello and goodbye. "

Eric hung up the phone and leaned on the back of the leather chair, exhaling a little bit tiredly. After the trailer of "Twister" was broadcast, there were continuous calls. Some people congratulated, some people wanted to cooperate, and more people called to have a trial. Many of them even just had a face-to-face meeting, but the phone had a very familiar tone, like the old one who had n’t seen for a long time. Friends, let Eric can't help but think of a saying in memory.

A chuckle came from behind, and the Eric toes tapped on the floor and turned the leather chair half a circle, just across from the bedroom bed. Virginia and Joanna have put on light pajamas, leaned against the head of the bed and looked at a copy of magazine.

"Done playing?" Seeing Eric turned around. Virginia looked up at him charmingly and asked provocatively.

Eric yelled, looking at the red lips of fine and moist in the girl's speech, and was about to get up with some emotion, the cordless phone in his hand rang again.

Despite being impatient, Eric quickly connected the phone: "I am Eric Williams."

Virginia looked at Eric's depressed look, and got something in Joanna's ear, and the two women laughed together. Virginia smiled at Eric, and plucked the pajama shoulder strap down provocatively. , Exposing rounded shoulders and large greasy chest.

"... Oh, Mr. Guber, good evening," Eric was a little surprised when he heard the name of the other party, just tried a few words quietly, and saw the series of provocations of the little woman on the big bed, faint The ground was hot from the abdomen, and Eric quickly glared at Virginia and pointed to the microphone in his hand to signal the woman to be honest.

Virginia immediately showed a look of grievance, his big eyes turned slyly, and turned his head around Joanna. When the other party had not responded, he quickly rushed up and took a deep bite on the red lips of Joanna, Then he licked his lips with a little provocatively protruding little red tongue.

"... Sorry, Mr. Guber, can you wait a few seconds ..." Eric said to the microphone, stood up and walked towards the bed.

"Ah, Joan, help," Virginia leaned on Joanna with a stunned expression.

Joanna just came away from the surprise of being kissed, whited her, and deliberately hid on the other side, saying, "I do n’t care about you."

Eric came to the end of the bed, reached into the quilt, and accurately touched a rounded calf, using a little force, and pulled the exclaimed little woman over, grabbed her waist and carried it up beside the aisle leather chair, Gently threw the woman on the cool floor.

"Damn it," Virginia, who was tossed with temple hair and a flushed face, blamed, just about to get up, but was held on the shoulder by Eric sitting on the leather chair again.

Virginia looked up, Eric withdrew his hand, patted his thigh, and whispered commands undoubtedly: "Come!"

The mild magnetic voice made Virginia unable to resist. She turned her head and glanced at Joanna on the bed, but heard Eric humming dissatisfiedly, and quickly kneeled down on the feet of Eric.

Eric showed a satisfied look before answering Peter Guber's call again. Feeling that a warm little hand gradually climbed up along his thigh, and was about to reach the trouser chain, Eric still reached out and blocked it, letting this goblin chaos, he is likely to be ugly in front of Peter Guber.

Virginia saw Eric blocking his movements and raised his head in disbelief, his eyes full of passionate mist. Eric's free left hand touched the charming face of the girl lying on his leg, and then his index finger stretched out and gently tapped the girl's lips and teeth, and a gentle little tongue pushed back resisting twice, and then submissively sucked up. .

......

The next day, North America countless mainstream media appeared news that the Washington Redskins won the Super Bowl championship again. Of course, the news of the two trailers of the two heavyweight villains of "Batman" is also a hot topic of newspaper The subject, "Running Out of Time: Prequel", which is desperately playing stunts with Tom Cruise, also occupied a lot of eyeballs, but there is no doubt that these messages are all squeezed into the secondary page by a "shocking" screen crack.

The stunning blow of the "Twister" trailer finally hit the TV screen, which left a profound impact on the hearts of countless people, and the media also responded to the curiosity of the public. A detailed analysis of the trailer of "Twister" was carried out with considerable space.

After this stunning trailer was aired. In a random sample survey of several large-scale summer films in "Hollywood Reporter". The expectation value of "Twister" is much higher than the second place of "Batman", and "Running Out of Time: Prequel", although Tom Cruise is popular, but because of the absence of Eric and Tom Hanks, the core **** fans generally expect this movie The value is not too high.

After spending a beautiful night, Eric sat in the meeting room early the next morning and started the routine high-level meeting of Firefly once a week.

After a brief work summary. A group of high-level Firefly executives in the meeting room began to talk about relatively scattered topics.

"Fox TV Station Chairman just called, hoping to get the exclusive right to broadcast the" Twister "trailer, they are willing to play it for free, without any advertising fees, this condition is very favorable, Eric, what do you think?" Jeffrey looked at The memo in front said.

Eric shook his head: "The principle of this trailer is very simple. The most important thing is to give the audience an unexpected surprise. Last night's Super Bowl live broadcast has achieved its due effect. So it will not be played next. Change to the normal version of the notice. Michael, how about the release of "Twister" Europe? "

Michael Lynn looked down at the data at hand and said: "The five major ticket warehouse countries of Europe have basically been negotiated with Britain, France, Germany and Italy, but the release time is also at the end of July at the earliest. Except for local protection reasons, The most important thing is that we do not have excellent channels and connections. Warner's "Batman" has been released in United Kingdom, Germany and Spain. The other Europe ticket warehouse countries are also released earlier than ours. "

Eric was a bit disappointed in his heart, but he knew that this kind of thing should not be rushed. Any Film Studio distribution channel expanded bit by bit, but he could n’t help looking at Katzenberg sitting on the other side.

Katzenberg certainly knows the meaning of Eric, and after thinking about it, said: "Broadway International completely broke away from the Warner distribution network two years ago. In the past two years, Disney mainly attacked the five countries of Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. The distribution network of a Europe ticket warehouse country. After all, the Box Office share of these five countries accounts for more than 70% of the total Box Office of Europe. In the small warehouse countries of the Netherlands and Belgium, most of the Disney are only sold out. "

Eric clipped the pen to the fingertips and tapped the folder in front of him, thinking quickly, it seemed that it was still a matter of time.

Although it is the best choice to integrate the overseas distribution of Disney's with the existing channels of Firefly, Disney and Firefly are still in the business docking period, and it will take at least a year or two for similar integration.

Also, from the bottom of my heart, Eric does not want Firefly to completely 'digest' Disney, and Disney can maintain its own brand to create more benefits.

"For the time being," Eric remembered what happened last night after the attention was drawn: "Yes, after the trailer for" Twister "was played last night, Peter Guber of Columbia called in person and said it was hope I haven't made up my mind to cooperate with Firefly in the film aspect, do you guys talk about your opinion? "

There was a low discussion in the conference room.

After a while, Michael Lynn first said: "Obviously, after Michael Eisner took charge of Universal, Peter Guber and Jon Peters felt the crisis. The situation of Columbia in the past two years was very bad. They worried that they would go to the same end as Sid Sinberg. , But I do n’t think cooperation is necessary. The most important thing now is to develop our own strength. "

"I agree with Mike," Jeffrey followed.

Some other executives in the meeting room also agreed. In their view, working with Columbia is a waste of time.

After a moment of quietness in the meeting room, Jeffrey Katzenberg, who has not spoken, said: "Eric, I think this is an opportunity, we ..." Speaking of which, Katzenberg suddenly felt that his ideas were not suitable for so much. Speaking directly in front of people, Katzenberg does not care about everyone's eyes, and directly changes his tone: "Eric, for the need of confidentiality, I think we still talk in private."

In the entire conference room, Katzenberg is almost second only to Eric. When he said this, although others were unhappy, they did not dare to show it.

"No problem, wait for me to talk to my office, then, who has any questions?" Eric looked around for a week, and when no one said anything, they announced the adjournment.

Seeing that everyone got up, Eric waved to stop the few people who were leaving, and said, "Jeffrey, Michael, and Frank, come together."

The secretary served coffee for five people, closed the office door and left, Eric only said: "Jeffrey, now you can talk."

Katzenberg said: "Look at everyone, Peter Guber came to us for cooperation, and we must have made plans to sacrifice the interests of Japanese. We all know that these two people just want to make profits for themselves through Columbia. There is no plan to manage Columbia. Now Because Japan Panasonic replaced the Universal management with Michael Eisner, they were worried that Sony would learn something like that, and they asked us to seek cooperation. Then, we can use this opportunity to dig a large piece of fat from Columbia. "

When Katzenberg said this, his eyes revealed a fanatical aggressiveness, which made the more conservative Jeffrey and Frank Wells frown slightly, but Michael Lynn had a relaxed face, he had also seen this momentum on Robert Shay. , But the aggressiveness of Katzenberg is obviously stronger.

Although I do n’t really like the breath that Katzenberg showed at this time, the other four people present know that Katzenberg is talking about the fact that the competition of Hollywood has never been tender, since others sent it to your mouth for you to bite In one bite, if you don't open your mouth humbly, it's no different than a fool.

Katzenberg saw the expression of approval on other people ’s faces, and then said: "We have just talked about overseas issuance, everyone should be clear that in Hollywood, Columbia's distribution channel network is second only to Warner. Some shrinking, but its content is definitely not comparable to Firefly and Disney. Columbia not only has perfect movie distribution companies in the main ticket warehouse countries of Europe, but also has branches in Brazil, Columbia and Argentina in South America. If you can grab it ... "

Katzenberg made a waved grasping gesture and then looked at the crowd. Ai Lei, Jeffrey, Michael and Frank all showed excited looks.

"Jeffrey, I have agreed to the Peter Guber dinner invitation last night, so, how are you going with me tonight?"

"Of course no problem." (To be continued ...)
