"Eric, why should we do this kind of self-cutting financial path? If the digital field continues to maintain an open cooperation strategy, with the influence of" Titanic ", it will not be a problem to double the annual turnover in the future. And, You know, at the current speed of technological development, it will not take a few years for other special effects companies to catch up with the digital field, "pondering for a moment, Michael · Eisner spoke again.
Eric raised his head with an inexplicable smile on his lips and said, "Michael, all I want is these few years, not to mention that others want to catch up, but the digital field will never stop and wait for them."
"But I don't think you need to do this at all," Michael · Eisner said again: "Look, if you count the Box Office of" Titanic ", the total Box Office of Firefly this year will reach 2billion USD, which exceeds 30% market share. It should definitely be the pinnacle of Hollywood and Film Studio. "
"No, Michael, you are only used to the coexistence of the Hollywood seven major parties, and you will feel that this is only the peak state of a Hollywood big Film Studio. But we break this shackle and think about why it cannot be 50%, 60%, 70% or more, in other industries, this is not a rare thing. In this case, why not Hollywood? "
When Michael · Eisner heard Eric, he showed a slightly surprised expression on his face. He did not expect that Eric's ambition would be so great.
If other people say such things, Michael · Eisner will almost immediately laugh out loud, but those who say these words are the young people who have been most popular in Hollywood in recent years. And he has done too many things that are totally impossible for many people.
However, after a short period of consternation, Michael · Eisner still shook his head: "Eric, Hollywood and other industries are different. As a creative industry, the human factor is very important in this industry, although many people say that Hollywood is The world's film factory, but you can never gather all the outstanding filmmakers under one family, and work exclusively in your own "factory". Even if Firefly pushes all the other six Hollywood out of the game, as long as you can't meet All filmmakers ’demands are precisely inevitable, and then they are destined to create new Film Studio to contend with Firefly, just like Chaplin ’s United Artists a long time ago, Howard · Hughes ’s Radio-Keith-Orpheum, and now Spielberg's An Berlin.”
Eric smiled and said: "Michael, what will happen to An Berlin in the future, I do n’t know, but the first two Film Studios you mentioned just do n’t exist anymore. In my opinion, with the prevalence of big capital operations in the film industry It will be more and more difficult for latecomers to enter this industry, so as long as I maintain the sufficient advantage of Firefly, I will eat up several old brands Film Studio one by one. "
Michael · Eisner frowned, and hesitantly asked: "Are you saying, eat?"
"Yes, just eat," said, Eric took a bite of the crab cake in front of him and nodded: "The food here is really good, maybe I can come back often."
"Oh, then you will definitely not encounter a moment without a seat," Michael · Eisner grinned reluctantly, he was still thinking about what Eric had just said.
If Firefly wants to wipe out all the other Film Studio of Hollywood, then it is definitely not practical, but if according to Eric, the merger will continue, then this possibility really cannot be said to be completely absent.
But Michael · Eisner is also not so pessimistic. He is now fifty-five years old. Perhaps, Firefly can do all this in ten or even twenty years, but by that time, he must have retired. Everything will have nothing to do with him. Now, as long as he manages the Universal Pictures well, this slightly depressing idea makes Michael · Eisner somehow inexplicable. Both of them no longer mention the movie, but comment at will. Started the food in the restaurant and other non-essential topics.
Eric versus Michael · Eisner After all, there is no personal grudge, not to mention, it was still Firefly Takeover Disney's Chance will Michael · Eisner Kicked out Disney Group, if we say grudges, Michael · Eisner Correct Eric The resentment must be greater, since the other party did not show these, Eric Of course, this will not be the case.
The topic of the digital field was skipped, and the subsequent meal process of the two was relatively easy and pleasant. They chatted until ten o'clock before the two parties separated.
Looking at the Michael · Eisner's car leaving, Eric also got into his car.
It was already late at night, and Eric did not rush back to Cliff Peak Manor, but ordered the driver to drive towards the top of Beverly Hills.
Coming to the Elizabeth and Julia's mansions, Eric sent the driver to leave, pressed the doorbell, an interrogation sounded in the intercom, Eric responded, and the door was quickly opened.
Julia is covered with brown hair, wearing only a long pale yellow sweater, with two long legs, and appears lazily in front of Eric with a light voice: "Eric, you Coming. "
"Yeah," Eric stretched out his hand with a smile, and said: "Isn't it cold when dressed like this?"
Los Angeles in February is still chilly at night.
Julia posted it, hugged the waist of Eric, kissed him intimately on his cheek, and said, "It's not cold, and it's not outside."
Eric hugged Julia and was about to let go, but the girl had knocked her chin on his shoulder, a pair of slender **** s was set up, and the whole person hung on him.
"Oh, how does it look like Drew," Eric smiled and closed the door with his backhand, holding the Julia light body, jokingly: "It seems like a lot of fat."
Julia mice bit like Eric necks, softly whispering emotionally: "Fatness makes it feel more handy, Eric, you can try it now."
"Uh, I'm afraid of cold, let's go to the house," Eric almost didn't help, and patted on Julia. Seeing that the girl didn't mean to come down, she had to hug her and walk towards the villa.
Although it is more than ten o'clock, the lights in the villa are still bright. Eric knows that Elizabeth is actually a night owl, and most of the strongmen in the workplace are like this.
The TV is turned on in the living room, and the sound is very low. Elizabeth is holding a thick folder curled up on the sofa, wearing a close-fitting sweater similar to Julia, see Eric coming in with Julia, and pouting: "You Does this guy need to wait so much? "
Eric did n’t explain, left Julia on the sofa, sat down beside Elizabeth with a smile, and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"Introduction to some movie projects," Elizabeth said, and you ’re welcome, splitting a stack and handing it over: "Nà, you help me see, pick one or two out."
Eric took it over and opened it with a smile, and asked, "Can I take it if I pick it?"
Elizabeth concisely said: "No."
Julia, who was thrown on the single sofa by Eric, also got together at this time and sat down next to Eric.
See how Elizabeth reads the materials carefully. Eric did n’t make fun of the gag, but just grabbed the slender legs of Julia and put them on his knees to play with. By the way, he also turned over some documents in his hands.
Just glanced at the name of the first document, Eric raised his eyebrows slightly, patiently read the project introduction and script synopsis, and said: "" United Kingdom patient ", this project is good, it is suitable for Miramax to be used for punching Awards. "
Elizabeth turned his head and glanced. When he saw Eric put one hand on the thigh of Julia and rubbed it gently, he took a sip and rolled his eyes. "This is a project that Harvey just watched last year. In order to avoid Shakespeare in Love "The competition Oscar was only pushed to this year, and of course it is very suitable for Miramax."
Eric nodded and said: "Fortunately, it was not placed this year, otherwise it would be a pity."
In the eyes of Eric, "United Kingdom Patient" is definitely better than "Shakespeare in Love", and the artistic connotation is also more profound. If it is put off by "Titanic" this year, it is a pity.
Elizabeth certainly knows what Eric means. Recalling the recent "Titanic" that is in the limelight all over the world, she suddenly recalled some details of last year, twisted it over, stared at Eric, and said: "Your time It must have been intentional. "
This is too headless, and Eric shows a puzzled expression.
"That's the time you said Fox invested 50 million USD in" Titanic "."
Eric suddenly remembered it. Of course he deliberately, just to fine-tune the old man of the Elizabeth family. The original investment invitation was rejected by Murdoch himself.
Now, although the strong Box Office trend of "Titanic" does not mean to stop, after this week, Firefly will probably be able to recover the original production cost of 215 million USD. It is expected that by the end of February, all production and distribution costs will be Withdraw, then "Titanic" brought to Firefly, it will be pure profit moistened.
No Box Office forecasting agency can predict how much global Box Office of "Titanic" can go, but they are clear that the profit brought by "Titanic" to Firefly will definitely far exceed the original 2.6500 million USD. Total investment. Even, some media predict that if "Titanic" can become the first-highest film of North America and even global Box Office, with the powerful influence brought by the championship effect, "Titanic" will be released on Box Office, video tapes, DVDs and various peripheral products. Will be able to bring Firefly a profit of no less than 1billion USD, which has almost surpassed the total profit of most Film Studio for one year.
However, at this time, watching Elizabeth staring at him like a cat, Eric will never admit it.
But Elizabeth realized this from the short hesitation of Eric, and suddenly rushed over like an angry kitten, kicked Julia away, straddled Eric, grabbed his collar and said: "You Asshole, you did it on purpose. "
With a smile on the corner of Eric ’s mouth, he raised his hands to make a surrender, and decided not to admit to killing. "Liz, calm down, I am not a fairy. How could I know" Titanic "? What will happen to Box Office, did you not see that I almost got anxiety disorder for this some time ago? "
Hearing Eric ’s excuse, Julia, who was squeezed to the side awkwardly, looked at Elizabeth as if he wanted to tear Eric in half. He was inexplicably a little excited, but involuntarily helped: "Yes, yes. "
"You shut up," Elizabeth glared at Julia, and then stared at Eric: "You are intentional, now that is all right, are you very proud."
"I swear to God ..."
"Bah, you guys are not religious at all," Elizabeth said, but the small hand unbuttoned a few buttons on the neckline of the Eric shirt.
Eric is about to continue to quibble, seeing Elizabeth leaning down, immediately alert, and quickly said: "No bite ... Ah."
Before it was time to reach out and stop, a severe pain in his shoulder came.
Julia curled up beside him softly, watching Elizabeth bite a little white tooth on the shoulder of Eric, I was envious, the whole small heart felt trembling, and I could n’t help but stretched out my hand and touched it, withdrew my hand, seeing A trace of blood appeared on the tip, and immediately felt distressed, pushing Elizabeth: "Liz, stop, bleeding."
The Elizabeth, who was on the head, heard Julia's, left and released Eric, and saw blood stains on the tooth print on his shoulder. He reached out and pressed in a panic. He said: "Eric, sorry, I did n’t mean it. . "
Eric gasped, turned his head and looked down. There were two rows of obvious tooth marks on his shoulder, but there were a few spots that were broken, not serious. Seeing Elizabeth's expression of apology and even crying, he There was no anger in his heart, and he nodded solemnly: "Well, I know you didn't do it on purpose."
Thinking of the topic that the two had just argued, Elizabeth heard the word Eric and ripped off the corner of his mouth, but he was n’t talking about anything. The paper towel handed over by Julia helped Eric with blood stains and said, "You do n’t need to take the medicine Wipe it? "
Eric smiled and said: "It is said that saliva has a disinfecting effect."
Elizabeth rolled his eyes and gave aside, and said to Julia: "Come on."
Julia posted it immediately, and Eric hurriedly stopped: "Okay, okay, I just made a joke, sit down, and don't allow nonsense. The tongue is also closed, it's ugly."
Julia chuckled lightly, seeing that he occupied the position of Elizabeth and sat on Eric, he refused to leave, leaned intimately and kissed on Eric's face a few times, propped himself up, reached out and withdrew his body In addition to a piece of pure white underwear, there is no longer any cover.
Elizabeth was very dissatisfied with the action of Julia's: "Hey, I only changed the sofa cover yesterday. Can you go to the bedroom?"
In response to Elizabeth, a big hand forcefully took her over. Eric ’s voice rang: “Take off your sweater, let me see.”
The lighting in the living room also seems to be fascinating, and in the murmur of the murmur, a woman whispered half-truth: "You, chaos, bastard, ah." (To be continued. )
