Hearing the name of Paramount Pictures, Eric found that he did not feel any surprise.
From the first confrontation between the two parties in the process of bidding for the Disney group to the present, the relationship between the Firefly system and Viacom has not been considered as good.
In fact, with the continuous expansion of the Firefly system, the traditional situation in which the major companies of Hollywood check and balance each other has long been broken, and the Firefly system is increasingly showing a trend of oligarchs that dominate the entire Hollywood. The other three major media groups of Hollywood, which are increasingly feeling the threat of survival, naturally become more vigilant towards the Firefly system, and will counterattack when there is a chance.
Moreover, this incident has a very intuitive incentive.
"Iron Man" was released on May 7, and the following week, on May 14, Paramount Pictures's "The General's Daughter" followed.
"The General's Daughter" is a crime drama directed by Simon · West and starring John · Travolta.
Simon · West and Bruckheimer's "Con Air" has obtained a fairly good global Box Office, and was quickly recruited by Paramount. "The General's Daughter" is the second part movie directed by him, and it is also a big production. It costs 95 million USD and the budget level is almost the same as "Iron Man".
However, compared with the good reputation of "Iron Man", "The General's Daughter", which has experienced several low-debugging screenings, has encountered one-sided bad reviews of film critic.
As you can imagine, under normal circumstances, in the face of the strong crush of "Iron Man", the end of "The General's Daughter" can only be reduced to cannon fodder. In order to fight for more survival opportunities for "The General's Daughter", Paramount inevitably moved a crooked mind.
Turn on the folder that Meyer handed over. There is an apology letter from Ronald Hill. Eric just glanced at random and left it on the table next to it. Fingertips rubbed against the frosted cover of the folder for a moment, Eric asked Meyer said: "What is the person in charge of that website?"
"Adam Wembley," Meyer Erdao said: "He is a middle school classmate of Ronald Hill."
"Let the detective company investigate this person, I want to know everything about him," Eric commanded casually, without saying too much, he knew that Meyer could understand his meaning, and continued: "And, Organize a copy of all the employee information of that website, and then release the message, whether it is Silicon Valley or Hollywood, or any other company, whoever wants to hire these people, I will find them in trouble, let Kelly specifically arrange for two people to stare This matter doesn't need to be too long, just three years. "
Meyer can understand Eric ’s order to investigate Adam Wembley, but when he heard that he wanted to blacklist all employees of the 'Hollywood gossip' website, he could not help saying: "Eric, is this necessary?"
Eric turned his head and looked at Meyer ’s exquisite face, saying: “Mary, fortunately the things of the past few days have been suppressed. If you ca n’t, do you know what will happen?”
Meyer froze, shaking his head slightly.
Eric still stared at the girl ’s face and said: "Look at Jackson, many people know that he was wronged, but the result? During the investigation of the case in 1993, Jackson was inundated by countless media It exploded for several months and almost collapsed. After six years, he still continues to suffer from very serious mental problems. Perhaps, he will not be able to get rid of the shadows of the year. Emma, Kevin and Xiaxia are still only children Their life has just begun, if this incident was not fortunately suppressed by me, this kind of thing is also likely to have an impact on their next life. So, I will never allow things to happen to them again against Kevin The second time. "
Meyer whispered back: "I think they must not dare."
Eric shook his head and said indifferently: "I never had this expectation of people's hearts. So, I have said this from the beginning. Those who stand in front of the stage and hide behind the scenes think they are not involved. The big guys who think they are insignificant, I will not let them go. I will put a Basic Instinct mark in their bones that I dare not think about.
Meyer slightly lowered his eyes and nodded, "Eric, I understand."
"So, for the time being, just help me get an Viacom financial report for the last quarter."
The Meyer sounded like a mosquito, but still stood in the same place with a low-eyed look.
Eric noticed the appearance of the female assistant and slowed her tone, saying: "Come here."
Meyer took a small step towards Eric, but still stood straight in front of him.
Eric reached out and hugged Meyer ’s thin waist. With a little effort, the female assistant reluctantly sat down on the knee of Eric, but her eyes were still reluctant to touch Eric. Looks like.
"Okay, Mary, I apologize. My tone may have been a little heavy, but this is definitely not for you."
Meyer has earned his hands around his waist, with a little grievance in his tone: "You are a tyrant."
"Well, my fault, I will pay attention later."
Meyer continues to blame: "You are still partial, sent Carly back to Los Angeles, but let me handle these scumbags."
Eric kissed the white neck of the female assistant and said: "Suddenly found that some can't be separated from you. Should you stay with me for a few more years?"
Meyer felt an electric current spread from the neck and flicked away forcibly, saying, "No, I do n’t want to be a kitten beside you."
"I never thought about it that way."
"You have, you just like to treat women as cats."
"I don't have it," Eric refused to admit it, and countered: "But some people are moody, hot and cold, no matter how good you are to her, they always want to escape from you. Untamable cats have exactly the same temperament. "
When Meyer heard these words, he found himself unable to refute. His face flashed with red eyes, and he suddenly lowered his head and opened a small white tooth to bite on the shoulder of Eric.
Feeling the appearance of the female assistant obviously biting hard, Eric caressed her waist, and continued to flick without fear of death: "Look, it ’s more like that, even the master is bitten." /
The small mouth on the shoulder added some strength, but it quickly loosened.
Leave the female assistant to knock her head on her shoulders and wait for a while before Eric patted her and said, "Okay, be good, it's time to go to work."
"I do n’t want to work today."
Eric does not have the potential of sweatshop Boss at all, and nods in a non-committal way: "Well, then take a day off."
Meyer's slender body moved in Eric's arms and changed to a more comfortable posture. It seems that he really intends to rely on this for a day.
However, things are always difficult to achieve.
Just a moment later, the Eric phone on the desktop rang.
Feeling that the man picked up his phone and glanced at it, but did not answer. Despite being very reluctant, Meyer took the initiative to get up and said, "Then I will be busy first."
The female assistants such as Eric disappeared in the villa before answering the phone and said, "Hi, Cindy ... it's fine, it's almost done. How about you, how are you ... Is it important?" Okay, I'll be there in a minute. "
Hang up the phone, Eric dialed the cell phone of the bodyguard in the front yard, let them prepare the car, and then got up and walked towards the villa.
Meyer is holding a laptop and is sitting on the sofa sending emails. When he comes in, he looks questioning in his eyes.
"I have to go back to Manhattan," Eric actively explained: "You can live here tonight."
Meyer shook his head and said, "I don't want to live alone in this deserted place."
There is always a maid in charge of care in the manor. However, the subconscious subconscious of the female assistant from a wealthy middle class family is obviously stronger than Eric. For her, the manor may only have Eric and Two of her.
"Then go back together," Eric didn't care about these details, and said: "Take care of things, I'll let the bodyguard prepare the car."
Today is May 3rd.
May 5 is the Los Angeles premiere of "Iron Man". I will definitely go back tomorrow, and Eric does not plan to come here again.
Simply pack the luggage, Eric explained to the maid in charge of the manor before leaving Eath Hampton with Meyer.
It's four o'clock in the afternoon to Manhattan.
Since Carolyn and Meyer are no longer willing to live in the top floor mansion of Eric at the entrance of Sixth Avenue, Eric needs to come frequently to New York, it is impossible to always let the two girls stay in the hotel, so they specially arranged for them An apartment is regarded as an employee benefit.
After arriving at Manhattan, Eric first asked the driver to send Meyer to her residence near the Rockefeller center in Midtown before moving to 75th Street.
Take a private elevator to the door of Cindy's apartment. Cindy just opened the door and came to the corridor.
The woman is obviously not wearing makeup today, wearing a loose light pink suspender top, a pair of white casual trousers, and a pair of slippers on her feet. It looks very homey, which makes it customary to see how much Cindy is meticulously dressed Eric Some accidents.
I just hugged with Cindy, and I walked out of the door again to find a girl with exquisite makeup. This time it was a bit normal, but it still made Eric a little surprised.
"Hi, Fanny, why are you here?"
Eric released Cindy, and intended to reach out to Stephanie · Seymour, but the girl took the initiative to get over, opened her arms and hugged with Eric, with a faint grudge in her tone: "Eric, how can I not be here , Cindy and I are good friends. "
Eric just smiled, walked into the apartment with the two women, and sat down on the stool at the entrance.
Stephanie · Seymour stood by and watched the Cindy daughter-in-law as she squatted down, helped Eric to take the slippers thoughtfully, and took the men's leather shoes carefully. , I do n’t know if I should squat down and do something.
She actually came here to visit temporarily in the afternoon. Naturally, she wanted to get in touch with Cindy for the position of the host of "America's Next Top Model", and the emotional card is sometimes very useful.
Everyone lives in the Upper East Side and it ’s very convenient to walk around. I did not expect to encounter Eric so coincidentally. No wonder Cindy has always had the intention to send her away. If Eric comes a little later, she will take the initiative to get up and say goodbye.
Change shoes, Eric casually came to the living room sofa and sat down.
Cindy watched Stephanie · Seymour not only did not take the initiative to say goodbye, but also took the initiative to sit next to Eric, frowned slightly, and regretted that he had not directly opened his mouth to rush people, only a little depressed to walk to the living room small Make tea for Eric next to the bar.
The side of the sofa, Stephanie · Seymour leaned quite a bit, and the woman from professional model obviously knew how to put on a more attractive posture. Eric could n’t help but take a few more glances. Women are not careful, this seems to be an exception.
It seems that the slap wasn't cruel enough.
Thinking so, she could not help glancing at the volumizing curve under the waist of Stephanie · Seymour.
Feeling the eyes of Eric, Stephanie · Seymour moved slightly, and said actively: "Eric, I happened to watch the" Oprah Show "with Cindy a few days ago."
Eric nodded slightly: "And then?"
Stephanie · Seymour swiped his fingers on the back of the sofa, but looked at Eric beside him: "Suddenly found that you are still a good man."
Eric couldn't help laughing: "This should be regarded as a compliment?"
"Of course."
"Oh, thank you."
"Is it just this reaction?" Stephanie · Seymour seems a little dissatisfied, saying: "You are really boring."
Eric glanced towards the small bar, with some evil expression in his expression, and said in a small voice: "No way, Cindy is here."
"Eric, I can hear it."
Eric looked at it with a smile: "Did I say anything?"
Cindy rolled his eyes, cut a small packet of green tea with scissors, and lowered his head to ignore Eric.
Stephanie · Seymour clearly envied this small interaction between Eric and Cindy, but the abominable man in front of him clearly had no thought of interacting with her, which made her feel frustrated again.
Cindy quickly came over with a pot of light green tea and poured it to the three people respectively, glanced at the position occupied by Stephanie · Seymour around Eric, and had to hold a cup and sit on the single sofa next to it.
Looking at the cup of green tea in his hand, Eric feels weird again. When did Cindy like to drink tea?
The three of them chatted a few words, and after a while, Stephanie · Seymour obviously did n’t mean to leave. Cindy had to talk about the “right thing” and said: “Eric, I plan to resign as the host of“ America's Next Top Model ” Discuss with you. "
Eric froze for a while, and suddenly understood what, glanced at the abdomen of Cindy, subconsciously asked: "What about Linda?"
Cindy could n’t help rolling his eyes, and knew that Eric must have understood, with a bit of resentment in his tone, saying: "What is the relationship between Linda and this matter?"
It seems that this time there are no two birds with one stone. Eric is a little relieved. After all, it is not a good thing to always let two women get pregnant together.
"Okay," nodded at will, Eric looked at the Stephanie · Seymour that was obviously unclear beside him, and said directly: "Finny, can I talk to Cindy alone?"
