Jeffrey did not leave, but sat on the sofa in the office of Eric for lunch and discussed some issues with Eric.

"Eric, except 《Running Out of Time》, the cost of all our films now does not exceed 25 million. Is your budget for Robert Shay two movies 50 million USD too much?"

Hearing this problem, Eric's face was also stretched. After a few bites, he finished the lunch in the lunch box, pushed it aside, and pulled out paper towel and wiped his mouth. "I don't want it, but I want Robert to do my best. , I have to give the other party some benefits first. 50 million only, and although I said that he will be fully responsible for him, but if the movie selected by Robert is not good, I will definitely not sign the project plan. "

I do n’t have any doubts about Eric ’s vision of Jeffrey in movies. When I hear Eric say this, I feel relieved: “However, if Eric and Robert have too much power, it will definitely not be a good thing.”

"There is nothing to worry about," Eric signed the name on a document, and quickly changed the next one, while browsing carefully: "After we have integrated the resources of the new line, completely integrate the new line with Firefly It ’s a whole lot simpler. ”

Jeffrey's heart jumped a little bit, secretly this little guy's heart was dark enough, and now began to worry about driving away Robert Shay. However, Eric does have this strength. After all, Robert Shay is only 15% of the shares, and Eric holds an absolute controlling right. If you want to dismiss the position of Robert Shay, you do n’t even need to go through a meeting to discuss and just issue a document.

"Do you think I kill the donkey?" Eric asked with a smile, raised his head and looked at Jeffrey.

Jeffrey smiled awkwardly, but admitted generously: "It's a bit like that."

"You know, Jeffrey. I'm not that kind of indifferent, if Robert can keep his duty and do things within his strength. I will never do this kind of eating out It's a big meal to cook. It's a pity that his heart is too big, and you must have noticed. He brought so many people here today, which is a demonstration. He wants to tell us that he is very important for Firefly. "

"I suddenly have a worry too," Jeffrey heard Eric say this, and said: "Look, those people today are the descendants of Robert. If you drive him away in the future, will these people follow? He left together? "

Eric shook his head and said with a relaxed face: "You think that if Firefly develops, those people under him will give up annual salaries and dividends of several tens of millions a year, and leave with him to start a new business Or maybe, there are so many other giants Film Studio that have so many positions available, you can dig them together? These are unlikely, Robert left, I will find another CEO to take over the already perfect distribution channel. Now. "

"But ..."

Eric interrupted Jeffrey and patiently said: "Jeffrey. In fact, you do n’t have to worry about so much. I said I might drive Robert away, but it ’s not necessarily. Maybe after a year or two, he realized I do n’t have to dedicate myself to the production and dedicate myself to release. I do n’t have to do this kind of thing. Robert ’s ability in film distribution is unquestionable. "

"I understand," Jeffrey nodded helplessly and began to bow his head to eat.

The door knocked a few times, and the office door was pushed open without permission. Drew, who was wearing t-shirts and hot pants, flew in and laughed happily at Eric. I also got to Eric's ear and asked about things last night.

The Alan standing at the door patiently looked at the girl and Eric with a smile, until Eric turned his attention to himself: "Eric. The luggage and the car are already prepared to avoid traffic jams and the like on the road. Special circumstances, I think we are the best to go now. "

"Then let's go," Eric ripped the small girl on his knees: "I'm not a good girl these days, I can ask Jeffrey for help, don't mess around."

"Cut, I am not a kid," the girl scratched on Eric with dissatisfaction, and said greasyly: "Eric, I also want to go to Venice."

"consider as finished, you can't stand it," Eric rubbed her girl's hairy head. Recently, small girl didn't know what to think. She cut a cute bag head. You can't help but think about Eric. Next: "The flight from Los Angeles to Venice takes 17 hours in a single journey, and a transfer is required in the middle."

Drew really ca n’t stand it, so she has nothing to do on the plane for 17 hours. It is estimated that small girl will not be able to withstand the disassembly, so I wo n’t mention it anymore. I walked out of Eric ’s arm and said, “Eric, we buy Is it a private jet, so that you wo n’t be bored even if you fly for a long time. "

"It's not time yet," Eric shook his head: "Wait for another year or two."

"Well," Drew nodded, a group of people came downstairs, small girl first got into the business car: "I will take you to the airport."

"Eric, I won't go, wait for some things," Jeffrey patted Eric's shoulder: "All the way down."

"Goodbye, Jeffrey," Eric beckoned to Jeffrey and sat in. The Alan in the front was seated in the co-pilot, and after seeing the Eric and Drew sitting behind, he told the driver to drive.

He wants to go to Venice with Eric. He had to find a translator. Venice speaks Italy. But coincidentally, Alan's mother happened to be Italy. Alan grew up in both English and Italy, and speaking Italy is no problem at all, so it saves the trouble of finding a translator.

Fortunately, from Burbank all the way to Los Angeles International Airport, it took only one hour and ten minutes. When you arrived, there was still half an hour away from the boarding time. Eric and Alan can easily check in.

"Alan, what are you turning over?" While waiting for boarding, Eric asked Alan to carefully examine the backpack and asked curiously.

"Book, I brought a collection of Stephen King novels, I plan to watch on the plane, Eric, did you bring it?"

Eric has a hand in hand, but previous life often takes long-distance trains, but the environment on the train is not suitable for reading. Even the long-term plane has not been taken, so I did not think about this. Moreover, his luggage was helped by small girl yesterday. With the character of the girl, it is even more impossible to remember.

"There are still a few minutes to go, maybe you can buy one, there is a super mall outside the lobby," Alan offered to offer.

"I ’ll go, Eric, you are waiting here, if I ca n’t get back in time, you will be boarded directly."

Eric is about to say no trouble, small girl has already flown out.

Only Drew ran out of the waiting room lobby, and Eric and Alan heard the announcement of boarding and they looked at each other.

"Let's go, line up first, maybe you can catch up," Eric said, and Alan didn't refute. The two took the luggage to the boarding gate.

Ten minutes later, only Eric and Alan were left at the boarding gate. The other passengers had already entered. The staff next to them also began to remind the two to enter. Eric finally glanced behind him, a shadow flying Running towards the two of them, the girl directly stuffed a thick hard cover book into Eric's hands. Without saying much, she bent down pantingly and waved her hand to signal the two to go straight in.

Eric knew he did n’t have to be polite with small girl. He stuffed the books into his satchel and said goodbye, and pulled his luggage into the boarding gate.

The huge Boeing airliner roared off the ground, and it took a while to settle down.

In the first class, Eric unfastened the seat belt, and Alan beside him also came up with a schedule to introduce Eric.

"After the transfer from London, we will arrive in Venice on September 2nd at 3pm local time. Mr. Demme and Miss Madsen said they will meet us at Marco Polo Airport. We have a meeting with John Landis Director in the evening. There is no activity on the 3rd, you can rest One day, there is a time difference. The opening ceremony of the 4th Film Festival red carpet, the organizing committee invites you to participate in the party. Our afternoon ticket on the 5th, we will return to Los Angeles at 5 am Eastern Time on the 6th. Eric. "

Eric listened patiently and shook his head: "No, just like that."

If possible, he had no plans to participate in Venice Film Festival. Although he had this plan, but as the schedule became tighter, he also had the idea of ​​not coming. However, after Venice Film Festival learned that he might appear, he took the initiative to send him an official invitation, hoping he could participate in the opening ceremony.

In the case where "The Others" was originally not coveted by the award, Eric was postponed, but it was okay, but with the promotion strategy proposed by Michael Eisner, "The Others" also had the hope of winning the award. In this case, Eric It is not good to refuse again. Because the invitation was signed by the jury Chairman Andre. Jamie Ernov personally and sincerely. If Eric does not give the other party this face, then it will directly bury a bad influence in the other party's heart. Compared with the jury size of thousands of Oscar, Venice Film Festival has only nine judges. Everyone sits together to discuss and give the award. separated.

Therefore, in order to avoid the tragedy that caused "The Others" to return empty-handed because of his personal factors, Eric can only take a mental trip.

Sighing helplessly, Eric no longer thinks about these annoyances, and pulls out the books that small girl bought for himself from his backpack.

Looking at it, he couldn't help laughing.

"Walden Lake".

What book did the girl buy, who read the essay on the plane.

consider as finished should be used for hypnosis.

Eric thought about this by opening the plastic film wrapped around the book. (To be continued)
