After nearly ten weeks of intense shoots, Eric finally completed the last shot of "Jurassic Park" on September 7th, safely handing over the ending of the crew and the special effects work to Jerry Bruckheimer and Stan Winston, and Eric was on board Aircraft flying to Paris.

After a long twenty-two hour flight, the Eric Boeing airliner landed at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport.

Eric just walked out of the airport lobby, and Jeffrey Katzenberg, who was waiting outside, greeted him with a few people: "Eric, I'm so glad you can come, I thought you couldn't catch up."

"I'm going to come as soon as possible for such an important thing," Eric embraced with Katzenberg.

After a few words of greeting, Katzenberg began to introduce Eric to the people around him: "Eric, this is Vincent Labeyrie, Paris municipal government representative; this is the French person in charge of the joint venture company Louise Barthello; Pae Terry grams.Schneider Haha, he doesn't need to introduce it. You saw it at the mid-year meeting. I know you have a good memory ... "

Eric shook hands with these people and talked with each other, a few minutes later a group of talents got on the bus and left.

"Eric, I prepared a room for you at the Disney theme hotel in the park, but you can also choose to live in the city," Katzenberg said enthusiastically, sitting in the back seat of a business car together. , Perhaps because another overseas Disneyland is about to open, Katzenberg is in a very good mood.

At present, this Disneyland is still called Europe Disneyland, not Disneyland Paris in Eric memory, shoots "Jurassic Park", Eric did not pay much attention to this matter, but in the long journey to Paris, he also gradually I recalled some information about Disneyland Paris in my memory. Of course, Eric, which is too specific, is impossible to know, but he clearly remembers that Disney is among the major theme parks. The most successful is Disneyland Tokyo, and the most failed is Disneyland Paris.

Therefore, he is not as good as Katzenberg.

Disneyland Tokyo was opened in 1983, starting from the year of opening. It was welcomed by several major. However, because of the original agreement between Disney and Japan, the two parties signed a 45-year license agreement, Disney even gave up the Tokyo Disneyland cartoon image royalty, and only 7% of Disneyland Tokyo's turnover was collected as a management fee every year. After Disneyland Tokyo's great success, Disney realized that he made a very loss-making transaction, but even this 7% management fee can still bring profits of hundreds of millions of USD to Disney every year.

Inspired by the success of Disneyland Tokyo, in 1985, Michael Eisner, who took the lead in Disney, began to prepare for the second overseas Disney theme park. Because of the high profit prospects and the employment of tens of thousands of people, the Paris city government passed a lot of discounts Conditions, finally grabbed this project from dozens of candidate cities, for this purpose, even built a railway directly through Paris urban area and Disneyland.

I learned the lessons of Disneyland Tokyo. This time through negotiation, Disney paid 49% of the shares of the Disneyland joint venture and the control of the park for a very small price. At the same time, Disney also levied 1.5 per year from the park for the first five years. The patent fee of 100 million USD will increase to 400 million USD annually after five years.

From these agreements, Disney will not suffer anyway, but anyone knows that if the new park is poorly managed or even loses money, it is estimated that even the most basic patent fee, Disney, cannot be collected.

"Jeffrey. These are small things, I just stayed in the Disney theme hotel. In addition, after getting to the place, let me prepare a Europe Disneyland information. From the initial preparation to the future operation mode, the more detailed The better. "

Katzenberg nodded without thinking, noticing the expression of Eric, and realized something strange, curious: "Eric, is there any problem?"

"I don't know." Eric shook his head honestly. The information about the Europe Disneyland related cooperation agreement was still dictated by Alan on the aircraft. It is also unclear to detail some Alan. Without seeing more information, Eric can't know where the problem with Disneyland Paris is: "You should be curious about me, if you can, find some Disneyland Tokyo information for me."

"No problem," Katzenberg no longer asks more, nodded with a smile: "Yes, after opening tomorrow, Paris city government will also hold a cocktail party at night, I think you will come directly from Hawaii, it is estimated that you will forget the dress Things, I'm ready. "

"Thank you, Jeffrey," Eric looked at Katzenberg with a beaming look, and had no choice but to rejuvenate. After all, history has changed a lot now. This new paradise was originally planned to open in April, but it was only delayed to September because of a series of events such as the acquisition of Disney by Firefly. This project has been controlled by Katzenberg for half a year. , Maybe there will be some turnarounds maybe.

Because Hawaii has been in a busy state of tension, and because of more than 20 hours of continuous flight, I took the car to the ancient town of Marne River in the suburb of Paris where Europe Disneyland is located. Eric settled in the theme hotel and fell directly The jet lag began to fall on the big bed, and the sky was completely dark when I woke up.

After getting up, through the windows of the theme hotel, you can see the brightly lit theme park outside. Although the official opening will be announced tomorrow morning, there are already a large number of tourists near the park.

The doorbell rang a few times, Eric withdrew his eyes, opened the door, and saw Alan standing outside the door.

"Eric, you woke up, I finally woke up, Mr. Katzenberg just asked someone to ask you if you woke up."

"Is there anything important?" Eric asked Alan in.

Alan shook his head: "No, Mr. Katzenberg is still checking the details of next year's opening in the paradise. It is estimated that he will come back very late. Eric, do you want to go?"

"consider as finished, Jeffrey is enough, I was here to join in the fun," Eric smiled and shook his head. The shoots movie had consumed most of his energy, and at the same time he had to control the overall situation of Firefly, Eric could I do n’t want to be personally involved in the company ’s specific operations. In that case, even if he is divided into several pieces, it will be too busy: "Yes, is the thing I told Jeffrey this morning done?"

Alan nodded: "In the afternoon, Mr. Katzenberg will let people send the information. Do I need to get it now?"

"Bring it over and help me prepare a dinner by the way, I'll just watch it in the room." (Unfinished.)
