"Eric, everyone knows this matter, why do you ..."

Eric directly interrupted Murdoch and asked: "Who dominates this matter, I want to know this. I know that it is definitely not Fox, not to mention that there is so much cooperation between us, Fox has obtained enough Interests, and even if you do, you will certainly not choose at this time of the year, Box Office of "Sleepless in Seattle" was greatly affected by this storm. So, who led the initiative? "

Murdoch was stunned, and said: "Eric, even if you know what you can do, this time the method is more intense, but it is also a normal industry competition."

"Who is it?" Eric asked coldly again.

The Elizabeth, who was just bored listening, patted the tableware in his hand on the table, and glared at Eric with disgust. He said: "Hey, Eric, how can you speak to my Papa like this, he is an elder anyway!"

The tense atmosphere is completely absent from the girl's low-key teasing atmosphere.

Murdoch really wanted to pat her daughter's head and say a few words. Sure enough, the daughter was born towards her father. Of course, Elizabeth had grown up, he couldn't do it anymore, so he just picked up the red wine with a smile and took a sip.

Eric looked helplessly at Elizabeth, but the girl glared back without showing any weakness.

This little girl, what a man talks!

Eric took a deep breath and relaxed the tone slightly, saying: "Mr. Murdoch," Home Alone2 "Box Office is still very bright. Although it is not as good as first part, global Box Office has no problem over 300 million USD, and, according to Stu ’s current age, this sequel can produce at least three more. What do you think? "

"Michael Eisner," Murdoch blurted out without hesitation.

Elizabeth looked at his father in amazement. It ’s too unruly to sell teammates, right? I'm just helping you out.

A few glances between the two ‘hateful’ men. The girl swelled her cheeks and picked up the red wine sullenly. At the same time, I swear in my heart that no matter what happens next, I will not speak again.

Eric didn't notice the girl's movements, he was only shocked now.

During this time, he has thought about it more than once, and it may be Warner or Universal that is leading the matter. It may be Columbia, or Paramount, which is not well developed now, and the suspicion of Disney's Michael Eisner is the least. Even the suspicion of Disney manipulating this matter is still behind Fox.

After all, although he hasn't had many contacts with Michael Eisner, Michael Eisner has always shown a very admirable look in front of him, and Disney has also had very good cooperation in the two films "The Others" and 《Steel Magnolias》 Sincerity.

Murdoch saw Eric with an unbelievable expression on his face, and said, "Eric, if you don't believe it. You can just go and verify it. This matter has passed. I have no need to lie. From the beginning, the thing is Michael Eisner takes the lead, and many things are executed by him. Several of our other companies just try their best to cooperate. "

"How could it be ... like this," Eric murmured in disappointment.

After thinking about it for a while, Murdoch said slowly, "Barry Diller is the most pragmatic among the three outstanding professional Manager people who came out from Paramount. He felt that as long as he did it well, he would definitely get enough rewards. So I think he is also the most naive. So he was assured to let him take charge of Fox. And Jeffrey Katzenberg is the most devoted to film production, he put his main energy on the film. Therefore, he is not suitable to be a helm. As for Michael Eisner, it is the most unscrupulous, he can do anything to develop his career. So, I think these three people in the future must be Michael Eisner's greatest achievement, but I think I ca n’t control this person, so, there is no Moved the idea of ​​recruiting him under his command. "

Eric sighed softly and shook his head, said: "I just thought it was too unexpected."

I do n’t know why, Murdoch could n’t help but argue for Michael Eisner: “Eisner just did what a standard businessman should do.”

"Yeah, a standard merchant," Eric smiled self-deprecatingly.

"So, Eric, about the" Home Alone "series ..."

"Firefly and Fox can directly sign the next three" Home Alone "series of release contracts, but I will not personally serve as Director, but I will also serve as Producer."

Murdoch showed a happy and worried look: "Eric, why do n’t you come here in person?"

"I was tired of shooting two consecutive films, so I want to save time to make other movies. Moreover, the signature of" Home Alone "is Stewart. Runkel, so as long as the style of the movie remains unchanged, by No one will come to Director. "

Eric replied that although this is part of the reason, but mainly, only two of previous life "Home Alone" have achieved great success, and the third part has changed the protagonist because of the growth of Macaulay.Culkin, and the results have been defeated.

Although this time and space is due to the proper casting of Eric, Stewart is only nine years old this year and can continue to shoot, but Eric has no confidence in the prospect of this series, so he generously signed the next three parts directly with Fox. Issuing contracts.

Murdoch heard the explanation of Eric, but could not find a reason to refute. When it comes to Hollywood Director at the level of Eric, most do not like the shoots sequel. Therefore, he easily accepted Eric's explanation.

"Eric, although you don't want to personally guide, but I hope that you can continue to be responsible for script." Murdoch retired and said second.

Eric nodded: "I will definitely participate in this."

At this time, the dinner in front of the three people had been finished, and the waiter removed the tableware and changed to coffee.

Since Eric has got the answer he wants, Murdoch has discussed with Eric about several programs of Fox TV Station. After all, Firefly is a shareholder of Fox TV Station, and Eric readily agreed to personally supervise the production of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?", guarantee It can be broadcast smoothly at the end of this month. In fact, "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" has already been prepared very well, and even the problem bank has been designed. If it is not because of this storm, it may be officially unveiled in early March. The situation of "X-Files" is similar, and the first episode should have been completed.

Although this delay of Firefly also violates the contract signed by both parties, Fox originally thought that if Firefly succumbed, all the complete copyright of several programs can be taken over, so there is no such kind of Firefly. Too many reactions to breach of contract. Now that the two sides have reconciled, Fox can no longer pursue this matter, but simply skips it in a few words.

After deliberation, the Murdoch took a few sips of coffee and then asked casually: "Eric, do you have any plans for this year's movie, how many are you going to shoot?"

After hearing this question, Elizabeth, who was absent-minded, also cast a curious look.

Eric took a sip of coffee slowly, thought about it and said: "Two, one has been confirmed, but script is still deadlocked, the screenwriter offer price is a bit outrageous, plus the things of this period, I There is no time to talk about script at the moment. "

"Is that the script about ghosts?" Elizabeth couldn't help but insert a sentence.

Eric looks at the girl curiously. Has this matter been so widespread?

Being stared at by Eric, the girl ’s face was slightly reddened and said, "I heard that you ... are very optimistic about this script, so I also asked about it."

Eric can see at a glance that Elizabeth must have cut the idea, but it seems to be unsuccessful.

It seems to be seen through the mind, the girl is more embarrassed, but then said: "But ... but when I let someone contact the screenwriter named Bruce. Joy.Robin, the other party said that script has been sold. Ah. "

Eric suddenly stood up in surprise, looking at Elizabeth: "Sold?"

"Yeah, isn't it ... Didn't you buy it?" Elizabeth raised his face and looked at Eric, asking suspiciously.

"Sorry, I need to make a few calls," the two Eric Chao Zhao said, picked up mobile phone and walked to the corner not far away.

Looking at the Eric standing not far away while holding the mobile phone dialing, while twirling anxiously, Murdoch asked her daughter, "Liz, what is script?"

The girl looked at Eric and she said to her father happily: "It's a love story script. I didn't see the full story. I just heard about it. It seems to be a bank clerk who was turned into a murder by a colleague. The ghost, and then protect his girlfriend and get revenge or something, anyway, that's about it. "

Murdoch glanced at Eric, his eyes flashing, I do n’t know what to think about.

It took a while for Eric to return to his seat without a face.

Murdoch the old **** was drinking coffee on the ground, there was no meaning to speak, and then Elizabeth spoke: "Eric, who bought it?"

"Michael Eisner," Eric reluctantly squeezed out a name.

The girl asked again: "What are you going to do?"

What can I do? Eric is almost conceivable. If you buy this script smartly with Michael Eisner, you will definitely not rush to conduct shoots by Disney yourself, but intend to use it to cooperate with him. (To be continued)
