When the two spoke softly, the mobile phone on the coffee table rang. The girl diligently took the phone and put it in the ear of Eric, and the whole person was lying on the body of Eric.

Eric hugged the girl ’s waist, and the other hand pressed the call button, and the voice of Jeffrey sounded on the other end of the phone: "Eric, are you okay now?"

"I'm fine, looking at the excitement, how is the company doing now?" Eric glanced at the news that was still playing on the TV and said. However, the tone is inevitable. He is not the kind of aspiring person who has been attacked on such a large scale. How could he not feel it? If he did not leave a little chip in advance, Eric does not know what he will do now. .

"The company's situation is fairly stable, but today some of the less important staff members resigned. It is estimated that I can't stand the pressure of public opinion, and I haven't retained it. Also, Robert tried me in the afternoon. Let me persuade you. "

"I guess he was hinted by some people, don't worry about him, just do whatever you want."

"I understand, just tell you this matter, and when do you plan to fight back, can't you let things go on like this?"

Eric paused before saying, "It's not the right time, by the way, how is the money going?"

Jeffrey heard this question with a heavy tone and said, "It's all dragging. I personally went to Columbia and Fox, but I didn't meet any of the person in charge. I asked Edward, he said this kind of thing If we go to court, although we will definitely win, it will take several months. As for the loan, Carolyn has contacted several banks, and Citibank had already moved. It agreed to loan us 50 million USD, but then Disney and Fox together A lawyer's letter was sent out, saying that there was a problem with our contract. Preventing Citibank from lending to us, this matter has been ruined again. "

"What do you think. What purpose do they do?" Eric thought to himself and asked.

Jeffrey on the other end of the phone said: "I think it may be related to the payment of taxes. However, if this kind of problem really occurs at that time, I think a company with good operating conditions like Firefly, the IRS will definitely agree with us Late tax payment. "

Think of Jeffrey, and Eric. Therefore, he knows that the next storm must be related to money, and it is estimated that it will be a large sum of money, otherwise, several major companies will not find ways to prevent Firefly from obtaining funds.

"Jeffrey, do n’t think about those two sums of money for the time being. Try to let Carolyn try loans. If domestic banks do n’t work, try foreign ones. Since Citibank is willing to let go, I think there will definitely be other Banks are willing to lend to us. "

"I got it. Actually, Eric and Carolyn told me that there is another way to make loans, which is to pledge your Firefly shares, so that other companies certainly have no reason to stop."

Eric denies without thinking: "Jeffrey, there is no room for discussion on this matter. Our opponents are doing everything they can to get Firefly shares. Can you guarantee that I will get the mortgage. Can I get it back again? ? "

"I mean, if only a small part of the mortgage. For example ten percent."

"No, Jeffrey. Don't talk about it again." Eric continued: "Oh, since they all shot, we can't be indifferent, and stop all the production of" Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? "and" X-Files ". In addition, the other party released the news, "Speaking of this, Eric paused, and then said:" 《Friends》 may ... There is no second season. "

The opposite Jeffrey heard Eric say this and was silent for a moment before saying: "Eric, otherwise, I went to talk to Jenny. She is estimated to be impulsive, and now she will definitely understand your situation."

Eric sighed, rang John.Aniston a few days ago, and personally called and scolded himself, and warned himself not to approach his daughter again, Eric said happily, "No."

Jeffrey on the other side of the phone shook his head and said, "Well, yes, Eric, do n’t watch TV all day, and do n’t watch newspaper anymore, you know, those are fake. Still find something else Things to do, such as writing script or something? "

Eric thought about it and said, "Otherwise, will you find a band for me?"

"Band, what are you doing with that one?"

"I want to make a song."

Jeffrey knows that Eric knows some of the movie ’s soundtrack, and has seen episodes created by Eric himself, no doubt, nodded and said: "Well, what kind of band do you want?"

Eric said: "Rock band, industrial heavy metal, find me the best."

"Uh ... okay."

Another sentence, the two people hung up the phone. Eric pushed the small girl, which had been lying on his ear and listening, turned off the TV, gave a few words, and then got into his study.

The next day, Jeffrey found a best Los Angeles rock band for Eric, together with a whole truck of music production equipment, and sent it to the manor of Malibu. In the next few days, does not abandon was still waiting for Eric The paparazzi who appeared, occasionally heard the faint rock music from the manor.

After the storm fermented for a week, Eric still did not make any response, but there was no sign of dissipation. Some protesters with banners appeared outside the manor of Malibu and the office building of Firefly, requesting Eric to announce their withdrawal from Director Ranks, no longer 'scourge' Hollywood. And some media that want to maintain fairness, occasionally publish a few more rational analysis articles on this storm, all of which are buried by this one-sided public opinion carnival. After all, a famous genius Director is also a billion. The stepping of the rich into the dust is in line with the dark desires of many people.

The new week began, and the storm began to escalate. Eric woke up in the morning and had no time to eat breakfast. It received four summonses from the Los Angeles District Court in one breath.

Drew Barrymore ’s father, John.Barrymore, jumped out and submitted a series of evidence condemning his ex-wife Ildiko. Jide ’s indifference to his daughter, even letting his underage daughter let Eric Williams be a pet, and suing for wanting to take back Drew At the same time as guardianship, he sued Eric for violating his minor daughter.

A clerk in charge of real estate management of the Los Angeles county government took the initiative to disclose that Eric Williams used illegal means such as bribery when acquiring Malibu 14-acre public land.

Hollywood, a little-known little screenwriter Randy Clapp sued Eric Williams movie 《Running Out of Time》 script for allegedly plagiarizing a gangster film "The Controversy of Light and Darkness" that he created five years ago and claimed 200 million USD from Eric Williams.

The newly established Sony Film Industry also came to join in the fun, prosecuting the 《Running Out of Time》 contract signed by Eric and Columbia Film Industry for alleged fraud, and the Box Office received by Eric was extremely unreasonable and violated business rules.

Eric Williams is faced with the news of four lawsuits at the same time. Not only the entire North America, but also all the media in the Western world have focused their attention on Eric. Now that things have developed, many people are beginning to understand that the things that happened during this time are far less simple than they thought. However, even so, most people are only watching the development of the situation with a lively gesture.

In the sharp corner villa of Malibu, Eric and the newly arrived private lawyer Edward Lewis discussed the four lawsuits before them.

"Eric, this matter is getting more and more troublesome, and you must be able to see it. There must be a lot of power behind these lawsuits. Therefore, to be honest, I dare not guarantee you now, Can win all four lawsuits, because since they can find so many people, then the future judges, juries, and other, these factors are also difficult to control, after all, you are now on the extremely vulnerable side. "

Eric quietly listened to the analysis of Edward, and waited until the private lawyer finished, and said: "Edward, no matter what the result is, as long as you do your best."

"This is for sure," Edward Lewis nodded and continued: "Among these four lawsuits, the lawsuit about 《Running Out of Time》 plagiarism is the easiest. I have found the original manuscript written by screenwriter. The "Dark Controversy" story is indeed somewhat similar to 《Running Out of Time》, but it is only a little similar in general. The difference in details is basically a thousand miles away. In addition, the lawsuit of Sony, the contract signed with Columbia was personally led by me Yes, I guarantee that there will be no problems. As for the other two things ... "Edward looked up at Eric and said," I did use some of those methods when I helped you buy Malibu, but all of them It ’s cash, it ’s impossible to leave evidence at all. And, even if it can be confirmed at the end, I wo n’t let it involve you, just bite yourself without knowing it. ”

Eric can hear that Edward is to take things to himself, and nods gratefully: "Thank you, Edward, by the way, in the final lawsuit, you do n’t have to worry too much."

"Are you sure?" Edward glanced at Eric and said: "I just wanted to say that this lawsuit is the most dangerous, because if you are not careful, you may lose."

Eric shook his head confidently: "Relax, never lose."

Edward is not very clear about the specific relationship between Eric and small girl, but as Eric said so firmly, nodded. (To be continued)
