Eric sits up slightly and says: "Mr. Eisner, please say."

The Michael · Eisner, which is about to open the mouth, has a little undetectable hesitation. In the process of just chatting between two people, not only did Eric treat his senses very well, but also, Michael · Eisner had a good impression of Eric. He did n’t feel like he was talking to a young young man, but like his peers. Chat between people.

Recalling that Eric achieved such amazing results in such a short period of time, Michael · Eisner was a bit suspicious of his acceptance of the Columbia condition, and the partnership of Eric might not be a good idea. This young man is only 18 years old, and his future is limitless. If he becomes enemies with Eric because of this incident, the chances of cooperation between the two sides will be slim in the future.

As a superior, Michael · Eisner is undoubtedly a decisive person. Considering the conditions for opening Blunt · Cohen, Michael · Eisner made up its mind again.

The success of "Home Alone" is totally different. Whether the young man can achieve such a dazzling success for now, let ’s just say, even if he is still excellent in the future, Michael · Eisner feels that in the face of sufficient interests, both sides are still likely In cooperation, many opponents who used to be dead enemies can reconcile again, not to mention that the main pit of Eric is Columbia?

"Eric, Disney are very interested in the overseas distribution rights of" Home Alone ". Disney is mainly for youth-oriented movies. We have an advantage over other Film Studio in the distribution of such movies. If you hand over" Home Alone " Disney to issue, I believe that overseas will be able to achieve better results than North America. "

Eric asked quietly: "Mr. Eisner, can I know the price of Disney's?"

"What do you think about the 12% overseas Box Office share?"

The look of Eric moved slightly, and asked: "Don't you want to buy out Disney?"

Michael · Eisner shook his head and smiled: "Eric, you would rather sign a gambling agreement with Columbia than accept a buyout. So I will not waste time on this."

Eric nodded: "If this is the case, the price is very reasonable. Columbia only gave me an 8% overseas share."

"So, Disney is very sincere, I hope we can cooperate in the future." Michael · Eisner continued with a smile: "Then, Eric, if you agree, I want to sign the authorization agreement as soon as possible, the film overseas The release is not as easy as North America. After signing the agreement, it will take at least a week for the movie to appear in foreign theaters. With the current popularity of "Home Alone", it will be released one day later, and the total Box Office may lose several million USD. "

The Eric quietly listening to Michael · Eisner lobbying across the face quickly analyzed a series of clues, and suddenly a clear smile appeared in the corner of his mouth, he gradually became a little clear about the trick of Columbia, although not very clever, but, yet It is very effective, and you may fall into the trap if you don't pay attention.

Want to understand this, Eric finally relaxed, picked up the coffee cup in front, gently rubbed the delicate ceramics, and raised his head to ask Michael · Eisner: "Mr. Eisner, if I agree, when will we sign the contract? ? "

Although Michael · Eisner noticed that Eric's expression was a little strange, he was still pleased to hear his words, saying: "Of course, the sooner the better, I will let people draft the agreement as soon as possible, and I can sign the contract this afternoon."

Put down the coffee cup, Eric stared closely at Michael · Eisner and said: "So, Mr. Eisner, you see if things look like this."

"Huh?" Michael · Eisner is somewhat inexplicable.

Eric said: "Columbia is not willing to bet on the gambling agreement, so I found you and made certain conditions that you cannot refuse. Perhaps because of the interests, or because you and Blunt · Mr. Cohen are good friends, so you agreed Because I do n’t know when you can persuade me. For security reasons, Columbia will compress the second week ’s screen to 1500, and will not hesitate to pay for the additional 100 screens during the next screening. ”

Michael · Eisner listened to Eric's words, first stunned, then showed a bitter smile, or underestimated the young man in front of him.

Eric was very satisfied with the response of Michael · Eisner, and continued: "The reason for paying this price is that Columbia is to delay the deadline of" Home Alone "Box Office to reach 50 million USD, to fight for more lobbying time for you. Because of our right Gambling agreement, if in the end Box Office 50 million USD, all copyright of "Home Alone" belong to Columbia, now Box Office has not reached 50 million USD, and all other copyright of "Home Alone" ​​still belong to the content of gambling. If I rashly signed an authorization agreement with Disney, then it is me If you break the contract first, Columbia can reasonably and violently break the agreement on gambling on the grounds of violating the content of the gambling contract. Do you say that I am right? "

If the whole thing has nothing to do with yourself, with the personality of Michael · Eisner and hearing the wonderful analysis of Eric, you will definitely applaud directly. Now, Michael · Eisner can only show a slightly embarrassed smile.

Eric stood up: "I don't think we need to continue talking, Mr. Eisner."

Michael · Eisner also got up and said: "It is really unnecessary, Eric, but I still have to say that it was a pleasure chatting with you before, and hope that we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

"Maybe." Eric nodded. Since the other party did not pit themselves, Eric will not turn face to face with an film giants: "Mr. Eisner, can you tell me what conditions Columbia gives you?"

Michael · Eisner shook his head: "Eric, this is a trade secret."

Eric was noncommittal and said: "So, Mr. Eisner, can the driver send me back?"

"Of course no problem," Michael · Eisner beckoned to the assistant not far away, and asked a few words.

Eric has just walked out of Hilton Hotel. After waiting for more than a dozen reporters outside, they have learned through various channels that Eric has just met with Disney Chairman Michael · Eisner, so they are looking forward to interviewing the two of them. .

After seeing the reporter rushing over, Hilton's security guard quickly protected Eric. The driver of Michael · Eisner was about to protect Eric towards the parking lot, but Eric stopped.

The reporters were separated by security guards. They were disappointed to think that Eric would leave again silently. Unexpectedly, Eric stopped. The reporters quickly raised camera and the recorder.

"Eric, what did you talk about with Michael · Mr. Eisner?"

"Is it related to" Home Alone "?"

"Eric, both of your current film works are for young audiences, which is in line with Disney ’s business objectives. Are you going to join Disney?"

"Eric ..."

"..."

Eric did n’t answer the reporters ’questions. He pressed his hands and gestured for everyone to be quiet, and then said:" Will everyone listen to me? "

Since Eric was willing to speak up, the reporters quickly calmed down.

"Just now Mr. Eisner invited me to dinner, we did talk about some things, as for the specific content, it is not convenient to disclose to everyone here. However, we have a very good chat, maybe there may be cooperation in the future."

Seeing that the reporters did not get what they wanted, they were restless again, and Eric quickly said: "Do n’t worry, in fact, I want everyone to help me make a statement."

The reporters were a little puzzled, but a few smart reporters were keenly aware that Eric's next words would be a blockbuster news. They quickly rallied and raised the recorder in their hands even further up.

"First of all, I am very grateful to Columbia Film Studio for helping to release my movie" Home Alone ". But ..."

Eric's complexion became serious: "I want to say that because of the agreement on gambling I signed before, I will get a much higher share of expectations than Columbia Corporation, but that's what I deserve, I have no doubts And, if the agreement is followed carefully, Columbia will still get a North America Box Office share of nearly 50 million USD, which accounts for half of Columbia's annual Box Office profit. It is enough to envy many people. So, I solemnly warn some people, please accept Because of your greed, do not try to use some inferior means to tear up the gambling agreement, and continue to issue "Home Alone" in strict accordance with the content of the agreement. If the Columbia violates the gambling agreement again, I do n’t mind seeing you in court. Although I ’m still weak in your eyes, but I believe that we are equal before federal law. If you feel that the success of “Home Alone” and “17 Again” is not enough to prove anything, then we will see in the next movie So, do it yourself. "

The Eric speech was just finished, and the reporters around were shocked.

"Eric, can you be more specific?"

"Eric, you have a plan for the next movie, can you talk about the theme?"

"Eric, did your meeting with Michael · Mr. Eisner have anything to do with Columbia's attempt to tear down the agreement?"

"Eric ..."

"..."

After Eric finished speaking, in the noise, under the **** of the security guard, he went directly to the parking lot and sat in car.
