"Mr. Oga, this is not something that can be achieved in a few words," said Eric, standing face-to-face with Sony Chairman Norio Oga, holding a glass of champagne in his hand. ￥ ℉,

Norio Oga said: "Of course, but, Mr. Williams, we are very sincere, I hope you can think about it carefully."

After the signing ceremony, as usual to celebrate the reception, Eric finally knows the reason why Sony Chairman will specially come to Los Angeles to participate in this reception. Norio Oga hopes to be able to lobby Eric so that Firefly can join the camp promoting Sony home video recorder products.

After Sony first developed a home video recorder, Hollywood had a lawsuit with Sony for a full ten years because of concerns about piracy. Although Sony finally won the lawsuit, the home video recorder market was first occupied by Panasonic with more superior performance. .

Sony Takeover Columbia Film Studio Just to rely on Columbia Of its video library promotes its home video recorders, but these two years Columbia Although from Japanese There was sufficient funding, but the expected results were not achieved. Firefly Suddenly Columbia Cooperation, Sony Then started Firefly 'S idea, Firefly It ’s not as big as the one that has embarked on diversified development. Time Warner , But the momentum of development is definitely Hollywood The first one, if you can Firefly Pull in promotion Sony In the camp of home video recorder products, even if it can't beat Panasonic, it is enough to make the market share of Panasonic home video recorder fall.

However, even if Eric does n’t know much about some things, he also knows that DVD will rise rapidly in a few years. And quickly replaced the status of video tapes. Although Norio Oga just promised some benefits. But those are all taking a long time to be fulfilled. If Eric agrees, I am afraid that the benefits have not yet been fulfilled. The home video tape will be launched on the stage of history.

The two chatted for a while before Norio Oga turned around and left. Eric greeted the people around him and came to the corner of the reception hall to find a sofa and sit down. Sipping the champagne in his glass, he planned to take a break.

A few moments later, several senior executives of Firefly also came together and sat down next to Eric. Jeffrey asked curiously: "What did Eric and Norio Oga talk to you about?"

Eric said briefly.

"If it really works, it seems good, what do you think?" Jeffrey said after listening.

Eric shrugged: "No idea, let people collect some related materials to see if they decide, but I heard that the DVD disc technology is already under development, if this technology can replace the video tape. We do n’t seem to have It's necessary to join the muddy water of the video tape again. "

"I have also read some materials about DVD technology," Katzenberg said at this time: "Compared to video tapes. The cost of piracy of DVD is much cheaper. I think that once this technology is promoted, it is not what Hollywood is. Good thing. "

"The emergence of televisions and home video tapes are not good for Hollywood, but the progress of technology is difficult to stop. All we can do is follow the progress of technology and change our survival strategy. Otherwise, Can only be eliminated. "

Katzenberg smiled and touched his bald head, and said, "I understand, don't talk about it anymore, Eric, do you have any ideas about the several movies that you cooperated with Columbia?"

"Not yet," Eric shook his head. The more classic blockbusters in his memory, many of them are series movies, but Eric does not want to bring out movies with obvious series development value to cooperate with Columbia. After all, even on copyright The relevant clauses have been signed, but if the interests involved are too great, it will definitely be unclear in the future: "On your side, I just saw what you have been talking about with Peter Guber?"

"He hopes to take one of the four major productions announced by Firefly to develop with Columbia," Katzenberg said bluntly.

"Which one?" Eric asked.

Katzenberg said: "" Deep Impact "."

The four major productions announced by Firefly are "Jurassic Park", "Deep Impact", "True Lies" and "The Speed", of which "Jurassic Park" and "Deep Impact" are special effects blockbuster. The two films "True Lies" and "The Speed" are more inclined to traditional stunts, and one is a remake and the other is a road thriller. After watching the trailer of "Twister" on Super Bowl, it is no surprise that Columbia would like to develop "Deep Impact" in cooperation.

"They finally knew something, they didn't ask for" Jurassic Park "," Eric said. When Firefly released the relevant news, it was revealed that "Jurassic Park" will be made into a series. It seems that Peter Guber understands very well that Firefly will definitely not take out "Jurassic Park" to cooperate with them, and instead chose this disaster film where the comet hits the earth.

"What do you mean?" Katzenberg's eyes also have a little anticipation. He also hopes that Eric can take "Deep Impact" out and let Disney and Columbia develop together. This movie is a story outline written by Eric, plus The upper comet hits the earth's gimmick, and there is little chance of failure.

Eric thought about it, or shook his head. Firefly already has detailed development plans for these four movies. "The Speed" will be released at the end of the year. The release dates of "Jurassic Park" and "Deep Impact" have been set for next summer. The "True Lies" directed by Cameron will be produced next year and will be released in the summer of 1994. When that time comes, there will be another big gimmick. Do n’t forget that the "Saving Private Ryan" of Kathryn Bigelow will also be produced next year, June 1994 It will be released on the 6th day of the 50th anniversary of the Normandy landing.

The "Deep Impact" is now handed over to Disney and Columbia, and much of the preliminary work already done by Firefly is invalidated. For a large Film Studio, under normal circumstances, although the number of movies released each year is as many as 20, but every year Often the main movies are only three or four, and once these films succeed, they will even occupy about half of the total annual Box Office of this Film Studio, so it is conceivable. How much resources and energy will Film Studio spend on these movies. The four films released by Firefly. They are all in the main ranks in the next three years, and certainly cannot be easily changed.

"I will only start work on" Jurassic Park "after this Oscar session, and there is still a month now. This time is enough for me to select a few projects. You can also recommend any good plans in your hands. Me, "Eric finished, looking at Michael Lynn:" That thing. How are you discussing with Peter Guber? "

Michael Lynn subconsciously looked around and made sure that no one was approaching here, and then whispered: "If time is too fast, things will be too obvious. I have negotiated a schedule with Peter Guber, starting from Oscar, The plan continues until the end of the year so that not many people will notice it. "

Eric does not worry about what tricks Peter Guber will play. Now the initiative is completely in Firefly, if Peter Guber does not fulfill the promise. Firefly has many ways to make the other party pay the price, not to mention. Anyway, it ’s not my own thing. Peter Guber has no reason to go wrong. Eric has heard that Peter Guber and Jon Peters have started to increase their salaries. It is estimated that the contract with Firefly will expire after three years. Even if they ca n’t maintain their status, they will be able to fill their pockets. Leave Columbia.

After the matter was over, a few people began to toast with a smile and talked about the relaxed topic. Some sharp-eyed guests noticed the change in the mood of several people, knowing that they had finished their business, and joined them eagerly.

"Let's talk, I'll leave," Eric accidentally looked up and saw Nicole in a lilac tube top dress smiled looking at this side, and got up.

"Eric," seeing Eric walk in, Nicole raised a toast to him, Eric reached out and took the champagne in Nicole's hand and set it aside, holding Nicole's slim karate: "Let's go dance."

"Okay," Nicole let Eric pull to the dance floor.

In the soft music, Eric hugged the Nicole waist, sniffed the fragrance of the girl, and said softly in the dance steps: "Do you know what purple represents?"

"Huh?" Nicole stared at Eric, revealing the look of inquiry.

"Purple stands for nobleness and mystery. Generally, women don't dare to wear purple dresses because they often don't have the aura strong enough, and they will look nondescript."

Nicole's thin pink lips puckered with a smile: "So what do you think of me in this dress?"

"His Royal Highness, I want to kiss your hand on one knee," Eric said half-truly.

Nicole glanced towards the exit of the reception hall, with a little ridicule in his eyes: "I'm looking forward to this kind of scene, shall we try it out?"

Eric slid around the palm of Nicole's slim waist while others were not paying attention, and gently patted: "Women, don't have to measure in."

Nicole stared at him lightly and angrily, his tone changed, and he posted it slightly, said softly: "Eric, I watched" Jurassic Park "recently, how do you think I played Ellie. Like? "

"In the production plan, all Actor of this movie can only get the minimum salary prescribed by the union, are you willing?"

"I will," Nicole replied without hesitation.

Eric smiled and said: "When you answer me, do you not think about at sixes and sevens?"

Nicole's face is reddish: "Nothing."

Eric made a ridicule, and then said right: "The protagonist of" Jurassic Park "will be those dinosaurs from ancient times. Just like" Twister ", this movie is not playing except to make Actor confuse in front of the audience. Too many effects. It ’s a waste of time to star in this movie with your current coffee. ”

"Do n’t you say you want to prepare two movies for me, the divisive Tom Cruise and his partner," The Heat "is available, what about the next one?"

"Uh ..." Eric stared at the girl's sly sly figure before she realized that the pit was waiting for herself: "It's not too early now, I think such a big thing, we still go back and talk Better, for example, in bed. "

Nicole raised his chest without fear: "Okay."

......

Feeling the movements of the people around her, Nicole woke up almost at the same time as Eric. The skin of her back was tightly attached to the man ’s solid chest, so she could n’t help shrinking her body. Basic Instinct leaned back and immediately felt The desire of Eric in the morning was against her hips.

Nicole rubbed gently twice like a prank before turning over with a smile, facing Eric's gaze: "Early."

"Early," Eric came up and pecked on the thin lips of Nicole.

The warmth in the kiss room made Nicole warm in his heart, stretched an arm around Eric, squinted his eyes and leaned over to continue to sleep, and then was disturbed by the menacing little guy resting on his lower abdomen.

"I really want to cut it off, it's so annoying," Nicole reached out and squeezed hard, complaining.

"That's because you didn't find the correct way to use it," Eric smiled and hugged Nicole into her arms, and opened the girl's legs with her knees below.

Nicole hummed softly and exhaled deeply.

"Sleep, it's still early, you can sleep for another half hour," Eric's voice rang.

"Asshole, this ... how to sleep," Nicole hammered on Eric's back a little funny.

So half an hour of sleep time was changed to morning luck.

Then get up, stand side by side in front of the bathroom sink, brush his face in the mirror and wash his face, he shaves, she is doing skin care, then she changes her clothes, and runs in the morning in the manor together, taking a day of newspaper, Eric sat at the long table in the restaurant to watch newspaper, Nicole made breakfast in the kitchen opposite.

Put a plate of small bread on the table, Nicole poured milk for the two, noticed Eric's fascinating expression, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Suddenly remembered a story," Eric said, looking at the little bread just taken out of the oven in front of him.

"Oh," Nicole raised the eyebrow, handed over the milk, sat down opposite, and said: "What story?"

"Two killers, they met by chance in a chaotic city, then fell in love, and got married."

"Um ..." Nicole bit his bun and nodded his head, the golden bangs on his forehead shook playfully, and suddenly raised his head and asked: "Ah, you said these two killers, yes One man and one woman? "

"..."

"Oh, just kidding, you continue."

"But they don't know each other's identity. Although they are the top killers in the industry, they are affiliated with two different killer groups. They live in a humble community and live a plain life. Their respective cover occupations, the neighbors call them: Mr. & Mrs. Smith. "(Unfinished to be continued ...)
