Companion Eric entertained in the court for a lap. Edgar? Bronfman and Michael Eisner separated from him and walked to the other side of the party hall, looking at Eric, still surrounded by a group of people, feeling that he was obviously deserted by his side. Although Edgar? Bronfman knows that it is impossible to catch up with Firefly in a short period of time, it also produces a strong unwillingness to the Michael Eisner beside him: "Michael, after paying the relevant acquisition funds, Seagram Group still has about 1.5 billion USD Cash, in which direction do you think we should expand next? "

The funds for Seagram Group ’s acquisition of ma mainly come from the sale of 9billion USD brought by the DuPont company ’s equity. After paying Panasonic 7.5 billion USD, 1.5 billion USD cash remains.

Edgar? Bronfman didn't intend to invest the money in Hollywood immediately, but seeing the infinite scenery of Eric, Edgar? Bronfman, while envious and unwilling, would inevitably give birth to someone who wants to expand the Hollywood industry quickly thought.

Michael Eisner can feel the mood of Edgar? Bronfman, why is he not like this? He said: "Edgar, you know the Blue Sky Studios recently acquired by Fox and Firefly, Firefly already has two animation work Pixar and Disney Room, but still spare no effort to support the animation company outside Firefly, and last year, Viacom spent a lot of money to buy the Disney Hand-Drawn Animation team from Firefly, these can see the prospect of animation movies, I think, we should first establish Universal Animation Department. "

Edgar? Bronfman nodded and said: "Do you have a detailed plan?"

"We can imitate the Blue Sky Studios they supported this time, and also acquire a special effects studio with a good foundation. CG Special Effects and 3D animation are common in many ways. Then we will dig some skilled animators from the two studios under Firefly. Although Pixar and Disney's are very well-paid, as long as we are willing to pay high prices and carry out heavy tasks, we will definitely be able to dig up some key talents, "Michael Eisner has been thinking about this matter for a long time, but this plan needs to spend a lot of money. Panasonic refused to spend the money at all for two years.

Thinking about this, Michael Eisner added: "However. Edgar, I need to declare in advance that animated movies are not so good. We may need to invest hundreds of millions of USD in the early stage, and I ca n’t guarantee first part animated movies. To be successful, it requires enough accumulation. "

Edgar? Bronfman still does not lack long-term development vision. Since most of the Hollywood have been vigorously developing animation movies, Universal wants to be bigger and stronger, and certainly cannot be ignored. Nodded and said: "Funding is not a problem, you can prepare a plan as soon as possible."

The Eric surrounded by the crowd does not know the topics that Edgar? Bronfman and Michael Eisner are discussing. Even if he knew, he was not too worried.

3D animation movies require many factors to succeed. Creativity, technology, team, funds, and time are all indispensable. After previous life succeeded in "Toy Story" of Pixar, several other Film Studio have tried the production of 3D animation movies, but outside Disney, it has really been bare It is a success, but only Blue Sky Studios.

The long production cycle of animation films and the high production cost are important factors that restrict the development of other Film Studio businesses. Even Time Warner, after trying to invest in several animation films to no avail, silently gave up.

Fox was stimulated by "Toy Story" a few years ago and established its own Animation Department. Elizabeth was also specifically mentioned with Eric.

After the Blue Sky Studios transaction was completed, Elizabeth also suggested that the Fox animation team be merged into Blue Sky Studios. Eric did not object at the beginning, but after seeing the animated film clip named "Frozen Planet" produced by Fox Animation Department, it completely abandoned this idea.

"Frozen Planet" has nothing to do with "Ice Age". It tells the story of a space military academy encountering an alien force after a nuclear war. The creativity is good, but the level of the animator is really terrible. In Eric's view, the completed cartoons are not as good as the Disney's TV animation. Hearing Eric's comments, Elizabeth simply disbanded the entire Animation Department. Of course, the millions of USD that have been spent for this must have been floated.

With a glass of red wine in his hand, he patiently responded to the guests with excessive enthusiasm around him. Eric also realized at this time that his appearance was very kind and took away the scenery that should belong to the owner of this party.

The Burbank Headquarters of Firefly is only two kilometers away from the Universal cinema. Eric discussed the project production issues with the team of "The Matrix" at Firefly Headquarters until more than seven o'clock in the evening. When I left, I remembered that Edgar? Bronfman personally called a few days ago. When I invited him by phone, I temporarily planned to come and join in the excitement, but I didn't expect this to be the case.

After more than ten minutes, the guests around him gradually dispersed.

Diane Kruger waited patiently and patiently until now, seeing that the big men next to Eric finally left, took a deep breath, tried to make himself smile, and took the corner of the skirt and walked over.

However, when Diane Kruger made this action, the other four ‘mermaids’ cruising in party went to Eric almost at the same time. Their current status is so high, but they are all held by Eric. They are just too many people. They are too weak to squeeze them up. Of course, they must greet them as soon as possible.

At the same time, watching the five most beautiful women in the hall hug and kiss the Eric in turn, while envious, some ordinary guests who thought it was their turn to come together and have a familiar face all took the initiative to stop. , Helplessly continue to wait.

"Hey, Eric, good evening."

"Linda, your outfit tonight is so beautiful."

"Cindy, your black dress is also great."

"Oh, and Christy ..."

After embracing Cindy Crawford and Eric. Laughed: "Eric. Why do you only praise our clothes. Are our people not beautiful?"

"Of course not, you are the perfect body that I personally selected," Eric smiled with a smile on his lips and chatted with the beauty, which was much more comfortable than being surrounded by a group of big men.

After saying hello to Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, Christy? Turlington and Tyra? Banks, he looked at Diane Kruger, who seemed to have some uneasy expression on the periphery of the four, and stretched out his hand, saying, "Diane. What's wrong, don't you hug me? "

Diane Kruger quickly stepped forward and hugged her intimately. The girl realized that although Eric did not cool down on them, if it was just that, then she would be no different from the other four girls. In just a moment, Diane Kruger made a bold decision. Eric just released her waist and she turned sideways. Reaching out and holding Eric's arm.

During the production of Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, Cindy? Kruger couples felt the special treatment of Diane Kruger by Eric. Seeing the intimate movements of Diane Kruger at this time, he did not have any unexpected expressions, but Eric raised his eyebrows without traces.

Although I do n’t know how to achieve the intimacy of Diane Kruger and Eric, Cindy Crawford still has a little bit of reluctance when he sees the action of Diane Kruger. He watched Eric and said unconsciously, "Eric, why did you come alone? "

Eric is only temporarily intending to participate in this party, originally wanted to bring a female assistant, but Kelly had to rush back to dinner with his daughter, he could only come by himself.

I thought I would encounter my own woman on party, such as Nicole. Because of the cooperation of "The Mummy", the relationship between Nicole and Universal is relatively close. It's just that Eric is a bit miscalculated. Nicole has already participated in the past few days. It is impossible for every party to come to support it. Of course, it did not come today. In addition to Nicole, Eric just looked around for a week, and found no other women.

However, these must not be said clearly to Cindy Crawford. Eric reached out and hugged the Diane Kruger holding his arm to his side, laughing, "Isn't this my female partner?"

Cindy Crawford is bold, reaching forward and holding another arm of Eric: "In this case, I will be your female partner."

Eric's expression was a bit bad, and he blinked and smiled: "Okay, you five are fine together."

This pun-clear discourse made some women's faces a little disgusted, but they didn't walk away.

In the party crowd, CEO Alan Hassenfeld of Hasbro has not taken the initiative to greet each other and waited patiently. However, after seeing the intimate actions of Eric and Diane Kruger, I gradually understood some things in my heart.

The cloudy and clear thoughts turned around for a while, Alan Hassenfeld changed a cup from the waiter tray and walked towards Eric.

The women who had been around Eric saw someone approaching so uninterestingly. Although they were displeased in their hearts, they gave way to the side. Diane Kruger saw Alan Hassenfeld approaching and took Eric ’s arm tightly. Tight.

Alan Hassenfeld nodded slightly towards Diane Kruger and extended his hand towards Eric: "Hello, Mr. Williams."

"Hello, Mr. Hassenfeld," Eric reached out and shook his hand.

Alan Hassenfeld heard Eric blurting out his surname. Although he had expected it, he was still very surprised. He said: "Mr. Williams, do you know me?"

Eric smiled and said, "I have no habit of pretending not to know someone."

Alan Hassenfeld haha ​​laughed a few times, but he was thinking quickly. Eric Williams knows himself, then, rumored that it is true.

Remembering the small actions that Edgar? Bronfman and Michael Eisner just made, Alan Hassenfeld turned to Diane Kruger and said, "Miss Kruger, I'm so sorry, I just didn't know your relationship with Mr. Williams. When Edgar and Michael introduced me, I thought you Is it single? "

Diane Kruger was puzzled by Alan Hassenfeld ’s sudden words, but responded politely: “It ’s okay, Mr. Bronfman.”

Diane Kruger didn't understand it, it doesn't mean that Eric wouldn't understand it, and Cindy Crawford who heard these words next to him didn't know the identity of Alan Hassenfeld, but he also heard the meaning in his words. Edgar? Bronfman and Michael Eisner introduced Alan Hassenfeld to the woman of Eric, apparently wanting to make a contradiction between him and Eric because of the woman.

Eric was displeased when they heard Michael Eisner that they played such a trick that couldn't get on the table.

However, he did not show it. Michael Eisner separated him and Alan Hassenfeld unsuccessfully, but at this time, Alan Hassenfeld said that it was also the idea of ​​returning to the other side, creating a conflict between him and Michael Eisner. If Firefly and Universal are pinched on Transformers copyright because of this, Hasbro just happens to be a fisherman.

There are not many people who can achieve the position of CEO in a large group, but there are not a few fools whose sleeves are rolled up when they are slightly instigated ...

Alan Hassenfeld is not, Michael Eisner is not, and of course Eric is not.

Seeing no change in the expression of Eric, Alan Hassenfeld did n’t know if he did n’t hear the meaning of what he just said or if he heard it but did n’t move. After thinking about it, I tried again: "Mr. Williams, since you know me, have you been following Transformers for a long time compared to Firefly?"

Eric said: "Transformers is indeed an interesting toy series. I played Transformers when I was a kid."

"Oh, what do you think of the prospect of this toy series to develop Live-Action Film?" Alan Hassenfeld asked.

Eric shrugged: "I do n’t think Transformers has any value in film development now."

Alan Hassenfeld frowned: "Mr. Williams, can you tell me your reasons?"

"The reason," Eric smiled and said, "I heard that someone was competing for Transformers copyright, and I was also very interested, so I asked the technical department to do some related assessments. Do you know what the result is?"

"Want to hear the details," Alan Hassenfeld made a deaf ear. (To be continued.)
