"An interesting thing, AT-T, ExxonMobil and other large groups have more than half of their market share in their industry. They are all safe and sound, but now some people want the Ministry of Justice to come to us for trouble. . "

In the banqueting room on the big ship, Eric said with a smile to Bill Micnick's concerns about the recent media and theory.

"AT-T and ExxonMobil are different from us," Bill · Michanik's tone seemed meaningful. "Eric, I think you should still make some preparations in advance. "

Bill Michanik did n’t break some things, but Eric understood it and nodded seriously: "I understand."

Although the market share of AT-T and ExxonMobil in their respective industries is more than half, they are both publicly held companies. Coupled with their market value of hundreds of billions of USD, the benefits of the two companies are almost Equivalent to the interests of the entire United States, the federal elite has control of the two companies, and the civilian class shares the profits created by these large groups through insurance funds and retirement funds. If everyone ’s interests are shared, as long as these large groups do not perform If it is too much, no one will jump out for trouble.

Compared to this, the Firefly system is firmly in the hands of Eric, regardless of whether it is control or control.

Although many companies in the system are also listed companies, the companies in the Firefly system appear to be too concentrated in terms of power and interests compared to other corporate giants held by the public in the Federation.

In this case, it is impossible to keep others from being jealous.

In addition to the Hollywood media industry, most of the assets of the Firefly system are distributed in the field of new technology. Since new technology companies are basically emerging industries, they will not touch the interests of the original social class, but with the scale of the Firefly system More and more large, there will certainly be some people who naturally feel that these industries should seem to have their own. Once more and more people have these ideas, the troubles of the Firefly system will follow.

Eric has never overlooked this issue, but, seriously, he has no experience in dealing with such things. Perhaps, no one in the world has experience in dealing with such things, so he can only be careful. Grope slowly.

Looking at Bill Michanik walking away, Eric's inner recognition of him increased by a few points. After all, to be able to raise such sensitive concerns in the face of in front of oneself, Bill · Micanić must have begun to integrate himself into the Firefly system.

Take a sip of champagne in his hand, and Eric looks around.

Since the success of "The Fast and the Furious", a celebration feast is naturally necessary.

Just after the New Year, several companies joined forces to organize this party as a big party for the Hollywood Firefly system. The senior executives of the four major companies Firefly, Metro Goldwyn Mayer, Fox and Columbia, as well as the producers, Director and celebrities who have made friends with the four major companies all gathered together.

Looking around for a week, Eric found Carolyn and Meyer who were chatting together at the buffet table not far away, so they waved to the two women.

It is already January 16th, Carolyn returned to Los Angeles last week, and the girl ’s foot injury has already recovered.

Noting the gesture of Eric, Carolyn and Meyer came over together, and the two women also carried a small dinner plate in their hands. When they approached, Carolyn asked: "Eric, is there anything?"

Eric was holding a glass in one hand and putting it in the pocket of his trousers. Hesitating, he shook his head and smiled, saying, "Nothing, remind you two not to eat too much, and be careful about gaining weight."

Things like getting fat are almost the natural enemies of all girls. Carolyn suddenly shrunk his neck and excusedly argued: "I did n’t eat much."

Eric lifted the glass in his hand and said, "Nà, since this is the case, go play. By the way, it is not allowed to seduce boys, not even talking."

Carolyn naturally regarded this sentence as Eric's 'warning' to her. She blushed and looked at Meyer next to her eyes, and whispered: "Eric, you are really overbearing."

After saying this, the girl didn't plan to ignore Eric and took Meyer and walked to other places.

Although I felt that Eric just wanted to stop talking, but Boss did n’t say, Meyer did n’t ask much, just turned around when Carolyn pulled away and looked at Eric again.

Two female assistants were sent away. Eric entertained the guests who came to greet him from time to time, all the way to the main deck on the lower deck of the ship, and found the girl and other figures.

The girl felt a hand around her waist and didn't care about the other guests around her. She turned her head and kissed with Eric, and asked, "Eric, what do you want from Bill?"

"Nothing," Eric shook his head and smiled and said hello to Amy · Pascal, Tina · Philippines, Gwyneth · Paltrow, Kate · Harrelson: "Hi, Amy, Gwen, Kate, Oh, and Tina, Long time no see. "

Tina · Philip raised a toast to Eric with some restraint: "I haven't seen you in a long time, Eric."

As a personal assistant for a while, after the integration of Metro Goldwyn Mayer, Tina · Philippines was assigned to the script editorial department of Metro Goldwyn Mayer as the supervisor.

Think carefully, the current Metro Goldwyn Mayer is a bit like the Hollywood woman help.

Greeted for a while, Eric found that there were still some unfamiliar faces among several women. Although I felt I had seen them somewhere, I could not name them for a while.

The girl in a black suspender dress looks even tall and slender and noticed that Eric looked at herself and said hello: "Mr. Williams, hello, my name is Mira Sorvino."

"Hello," Eric just thought of it, and laughed: "You played Woody's" Non-Powerful Aphrodisiac ", right?"

Actually, the first thing Eric thought of was "The Kiss of the Dragon" by Mira Sorvino and Jet Lee. It seems that the other party has also collaborated with Fa Ge, but these movies have not yet appeared. .

Mila Sorvino nodded with a smile.

The girl holding the Eric arm suddenly said with great interest: "Mila is a talented student of the Harvard Department of East Asian Languages ​​and Literature, she also speaks Chinese Oh."

"Really," Eric is also a bit surprised, but maybe this is one of the reasons why the other party can cooperate with the two Chinese superstar. With a smile on his face, Eric looked at Mila and said, "Nà, I will test you, and say a Chinese idiom that better fits the situation to listen to."

Mila Sovino ’s eyes flickered, suddenly with a little cunning in his expression, and he spit out four words in the mandarin Mandarin: "Play the piano to the cow."

Eric did n’t expect the other party ’s Mandarin to be so standard, and was surprised again for a little while before giving a thumbs up with a smile, and also said in Chinese: "Sophisticated."

It's just that after speaking these two words, Eric found out that after many years, his Chinese accent has obviously become very stiff, and I can't help feeling sad.

On the opposite side, Mila Sovino said the idiom just now, and actually regretted it.

During college, she spent a year as an exchange student in the capital on the other side of the ocean, so she could speak a very standard Mandarin. It's just that the idiom Niu Qin is definitely not a good word. The meaning of Drew just now, obviously Eric Williams should also understand some Chinese. If the other party can understand the meaning of the word and think that he is laughing at him, it will be bad.

Looking at each other's reaction, Eric Williams really understands Chinese, but she was not angry, so she was relieved.

Listening to Eric also complimenting herself in Chinese, Mila was also surprised. However, thinking about the other party ’s stiff accent, she felt that maybe Eric Williams did n’t understand the meaning of the idiom she just had, but she seemed to understand. I don't understand.

Well, it must be.

Thinking of this, Mila couldn't help but feel a little sense of superiority.

The two people in the conversation have different thoughts, but the other people are curious. The girl asked directly: "Eric, what do you mean?"

"Well, you play the piano with a cow," Eric smiled, looking at Mila Sovino's expression on the opposite side, and said, "Mila, or else, let me explain it to you."

Mila Sovino didn't expect to have a follow-up, and immediately swept around in a guilty conscience.

Play the piano to the cow.

Although she is also from the second generation of Hollywood, her family is far less prominent than Gwyneth · Paltrow or Kate · Harrelson.

These few people around, even if it is Tina · Philippines, she dare not casually ‘play’.

"This," Mila gestured unconsciously with champagne's right hand, and hesitated before saying: "Playing the piano to the cow, that is, everyone standing together and chatting with each other, it means very happy, well, that's it. "

Several women around are smart people. Looking at Mila's stunned look, she realizes that she is **** and looks at Eric again.

Eric ignored the eyes of a few women, looked at Mila with a guilty look, and changed to Chinese again, laughing: "Are you a cocoon?"

"Ah?!"

Mila ’s eyes widened, and some of the sense of superiority that had just disappeared, she did n’t think that since Eric could say the idiom of ‘cocooning itself,’ she would n’t understand what it means to play the piano.

After finishing Eric, he looked at Mira with a stunned look, and took the initiative to help change the topic, saying: "Okay, do n’t mention these, what are you just talking about?"

At this time, everyone clearly realized that Mila Sovino's idiom was not a good word, but since Eric did not pursue it and actively changed the topic, everyone naturally would not chase it.

Amy · Pascal said: "Nothing, we are discussing whether to go to New York for fashion week next month."

Eric immediately made a completely uninteresting look, saying: "Oh, in this case, let's change the topic again."

Everyone chuckled immediately.

Gwyneth said: "Eric, I heard that" Iron Man "is about to publish a Super Bowl trailer?"

Eric looked at the once "little pepper" and smiled and nodded: "Yeah, remember to watch it when it comes, maybe you will feel good."

Everyone chatted a few words. CEOKenneth Horn of the new line Film Industry and Bill Michanick who had just left came together again.

Knowing that they may have something to talk about when they find themselves, Eric nodded at several women, and left with them, and at the same time asked, "What's wrong?"

Kenneth Horn did not speak immediately. The three of them came all the way to the in-house restaurant on the ship. Eric asked Amy Adams on duty to change a pot of coffee for everyone. The three seated in the quiet restaurant. Kenneth Horn He handed a file bag to Eric and said, "Eric, this is Adam Sandler's new project script."

Eric took over the portfolio and pulled out script and roughly turned it over.

This is a script called "Dad Rushing Forward", which still continues Adam Sandler's personal style, but there is a little more father and son affection in the content.

At this time, Adam Sandler's "The Waterboy" at the end of the year, North America Box Office has also broken 100 million. Counting last year's Easter "The Wedding Singer", Adam **** already has two North America Box Office broken 100 million Videos.

Although due to personal performance style and popularity restrictions in the TV industry, the overseas Box Office of the two films are dismal, but this does not prevent Adam **** from successfully becoming a Hollywood first-line superstar. In terms of the cost of 20 million USD, the return on investment of his films is much higher than most blockbuster movies.

After watching it for a while, Eric put down script in his hand and asked, "So, what is the situation now?"

Kenneth Horne said: "The second week of" The Waterboy "was released, Adam handed this script to me. However, you know, the new line had only signed two film contracts with him," The Waterboy ", With the addition of "The Wedding Singer", he has already concluded the contract. "

Although he was still a newcomer in the film industry, Adam **** has long been a very popular TV star, so he is only willing to sign two options contracts with the new line.

Eric nodded and said, "What then?"

Kenneth · Horn said: "The reward for the film I gave him was 15 million USD, Adam refused, and he did not contact me again for a few weeks."

Eric thought for a while, smiled and looked at Bill Michanick sitting next to him, and said, "So, did he find Columbia?"

Bill · Michanik shook his head and nodded again, said: "Yes, it is not. Adam did not contact us directly, but an independent Production Studio named" Sudden Entertainment ". The production rights of the new film, I hope Columbia can be released as an agent. "

After hearing Bill Michanik, Eric suddenly remembered many years ago, like a reincarnation.

At the beginning, after completing "Home Alone" ​​alone, the issuer found by Eric was also Columbia. At that time, the matchmaker was still Amy · Pascal.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, Adam Sandler, who wanted to go it alone immediately after becoming famous, also found Columbia again.

It's just that the situation is completely different from that of that year. The owner of Columbia at this time was already the young man who had boldly negotiated a gambling contract with them.

However, when the other party finds Columbia, it does not surprise Eric.

The seven major Film Studio of Hollywood, only Columbia is currently the weakest and has the greatest demand for high-quality projects and filmmakers. Compared with other Film Studio, Columbia is most likely to accept the conditions they proposed.

Thinking so in my heart, Eric has some unclear smiles on his face, saying: "So, what are the conditions of their cooperation?"
