Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!

After cooperating with Columbia "Mr. & Mrs. Smith", according to the original contract, there are four other film cooperation development plans. After taking the fat piece of Columbia overseas distribution resources, Eric has not much enthusiasm. Helpless Peter Guber is tightly wrapped up after Eric completed the late "Jurassic Park". Going to Firefly Headquarters or Cliff Peak Manor, Eric had to start to select the remaining cooperation projects. After all, Firefly had to occupy 60% of the interests. He could n’t choose a few movies at will. headache.

Nicole and Universal's negotiation on the "The Mummy" project was also successfully completed. Nicole gave up the 10 million USD's compensation and enjoyed 8% of the The Mummy's omni-channel benefit sharing. Eric heard that this contract was also caused within Universal Not a small dispute, Michael Eisner advocates paying Nicole cash compensation, but in order to reduce investment risks, Universal Board of Directors insisted on agreeing to the Nicole share sharing contract, and finally even moved out the Panasonic executives, Michael Eisner had to give pressure from Panasonic executives The next agreed.

After seeing the outline of the "The Mummy" ​​series of stories prepared by Universal, Eric confirmed that there will be an army of undead in the sequel of second part, so the digital field actively contacted Universal and wanted to win the special effects production project of the "The Mummy" series.

Because of Eric ’s cost-free technology R & D investment, Industrial Light & Magic at this time has fallen far behind the digital field in terms of CG effects. Although Michael Eisner reached some long-term cooperation agreements with Industrial Light & Magic under the match of Spielberg's, it could not refuse digital Cooperation requirements in the field, after all, he cannot refuse to make Universal movies look better in special effects, but Michael Eisner did not hand over all the special effects of "The Mummy" to the digital field, subcontracting the special effects on the ground that the film production cycle is tight Co-produced by Industrial Light & Magic and the digital field, Eric was originally only interested in the special effects scenes of the army of the undead, and did not raise any objections.

The sale of TGFilm Studio to Fox just confirmed the intention. The specific transaction needs at least TG to complete this year's project before it can be implemented. Drew and Elizabeth still focus on the production of "Buffy" and Jim Carrey new films. The Charlize Theron episode has not affected the process of "Buffy" ​​to determine Heroine. If it is successful, . TV series will begin production at the end of March.

After a period of research, Jim Carrey ’s new film was determined to be the sequel to Ace Ventura at the end of last year. The sequel of the original space and time is indeed much better than first part, Eric also intervened to make some suggestions for script.

Because TG is not in a hurry to sell, Drew will not be able to get out in a short period of time, and the production of 《Charlie's Angels》 will not be in a hurry.

Eric originally intended to hand over the preparation of 《Charlie's Angels》 script to the screenwriter team of Firefly. But in the end, after thinking about it, I still plan to come by myself. Anyway, because of the birth of the two little guys, he will definitely have a more leisure time in New York. This time can just be used to slowly conceive script of 《Charlie's Angels》 Since the idea of ​​imitating the 007 series, the 《Charlie's Angels》 film series certainly needs a complete world view and story background, and in this regard, the Eric with countless movie storylines in its mind is definitely better than others. therefore. During this time, Eric always carried a small notepad to record the occasional inspiration about 《Charlie's Angels》 anytime, anywhere.

In between these scattered and trivial, there is "Forbes" magazine to add chaos. In early March, "Forbes" magazine officially announced the annual North America 400 rich list, although Eric did not appear in the richest In terms of seat, but his 7.5 billion USD's worth still caused some entanglement in the media. After all, although Eric's wealth on the list is not the most. But the age is very dazzling. After the birthday in May this year, the age of Eric is only 23 years old, which is even harder to compare with the Bill Gates that has also exceeded 5 billion USD. Although the classmate Bill was once called the 'youngest billionaire', he will be forty years later in two years.

Of course, if it ’s just age, it ’s not too much of a problem, just what the outside world says, but for the source of wealth of Eric. Although "Forbes" magazine gives a clear analysis, many media still harbor a variety of malicious speculations, and even some people fiercely called on Federal Government to carry out related investigations and give taxpayers an explanation.

Of course there is no explanation, but because of its controversy, it is certain.

In this disturbing environment, Eric has been busy until late March, after finishing everything, and hurriedly throwing everything away to New York.

......

Long Island Eath Hampton, because the two women have to live for a long time, the original rental house has been refunded. In January, Eric helped Chris in New York to buy another one not far from Linhai The small manor of Acres came to New York again, Virginia and Joanna have already moved in.

The weather at New York was still cold at the end of March. Although it did not snow again, the maximum temperature did not exceed 15 degrees, and occasionally it fell below zero.

Suddenly coming to this small manor like a paradise from the busyness of the feet, Eric did not suddenly feel at a loss like many workaholics, but enjoyed the sudden tranquility very much.

For the two women now, it is definitely inappropriate to go out sooner or later. Only when the weather nears noon is warm, they will go out for a walk.

New York ushered in a rare sunny day, no wind, staying in the sun gives a warm feeling. Eric stood on the green lawn just now, with a picture clip in front of him and a charcoal pen in his hand. While whispering, he painted the Joanna sitting quietly on the roadside bench in front. On the white paper, the woman said she wanted to keep it as a souvenir, and in the future she would show the little guy what it looks like when Mama is pregnant with it.

Because of nutritional supplements during pregnancy, Joanna's cheeks now look plump and pretty without the previous thinness, and they look even more beautiful with their delicate eyes. As for Virginia, she absolutely does not allow Eric to make any comment on her round face. The little woman also noticed that Eric is also very looking forward to the little guy in her belly, so she is more fearless.

car voice came, Eric did not look back, he came before New York. Chris said that he would bring his girlfriend to visit, and called again last night to talk about this matter.

The voices of Virginia and Chris were heard not far away. When a few people said something, they approached Eric.

Eric saw Joanna slightly raised his chin and smiled towards himself. Turned his head and saw that the three had come behind him.

"Eric, the painting is really beautiful," Emily Brighton said with some envy. She used to be very interested in painting, but it was a pity to take the class of the family business. Had to apply for Business School.

Chris joked: "Yeah, if you don't plan to do Director in the future, you can also rely on this skill to discuss life."

Virginia looked at the portrait that was about to be completed, and felt a bit of a snack, but she was reluctant to leave any images because she felt that it was the ugliest period when she grew so big. Thinking of these, Virginia subconsciously glared at Eric and vented the little anger in his heart to Eric.

Everything blames this guy, yes.

Both Emily and Chris on the other side noticed the expression of Virginia and snickered at the corners of their mouths. But he said nothing.

Eric outlined the lines carefully, listening to the ridicule of Chris, laughing: "Your opinion is not impossible to consider, anyway, I have been fine recently, just to get a place in Times Square to earn some money, give two A little guy buys a few packs of milk powder. "

Of course these are jokes. After saying a few words, Virginia took Emily to prepare lunch. Eric was not in this period. Emily often visited the two girls. The three have now become very close friends.

Chris did not leave. He put his hands in his coat pocket and watched Eric painting. He asked, "How long do you plan to stay at New York this time?"

"If there is nothing else. I will try to stay before the summer break," Eric thought about it, and said with some uncertainty.

Chris laughed and said: "Listening to your tone, I bet you must not stay that long."

Eric also shook his head gently: "This is something that ca n’t be done. Speaking of it, I envy a lot of other colleagues. They can take a rest for a few months every year. I heard that Boss John Malone for remote communications only After six months of work, the rest of the six months will take my family to vacation around the world. "

Telecommunications is the major shareholder of QVC company controlled by Barry Diller. Eric has been paying attention to the QVC and Viacom bidding for Paramount, so I also heard this interesting incident by accident.

"They are all old mans, they are successful, and of course they can live more comfortably, and these people haven't been able to do this to you. They only climbed to the top ten of the" Forbes "rich list at the age of 23, did they? "

Eric sighed slightly: "Yes, there are gains and losses, I hope the two little guys will not be too rusty to me in the future."

Chris did n’t know how to pick up this topic. I thought about it and said: "Speaking of the rich list, I have registered several companies in Bermuda, Cayman Islands and other places one after another. I can pass these offshore companies in the future. Invest in several companies we hold and gradually dilute the shares of Firefly invested in these companies. I have recently started to communicate with Steve Case about the shares of AOL. The 30% of the shares we now have can also be dispersed among several foundations In this way, Firefly investment can become an "empty shell" that will not appear on the list of shareholders of listed companies in the future. "

"This is the best. I was blocked by those paparazzi a few days ago in Los Angeles. Some guys still fan the flames, which is really annoying."

Chris said with a smile: "Even if we hide the Firefly investment, if Firefly Pictures continues to develop at the current rate, you will still be pushed to the top of the list one day sooner or later, and now many people have questioned" Forbes " magazine underestimated the market value of Firefly Pictures, and Wall Street internally scoffed at the valuation of "Forbes". "

"Let ’s talk about it later, it ’s a big deal. I split the shares of Firefly Pictures," said Eric, and suddenly thought of something, and asked: "How is Hotmail ’s online mailbox, I am on the most recent file Didn't see any news? "

"The server is already being built," Chris ’s expression is also somewhat helpless: "The core code of the online mailbox has been almost completed long ago, and the guy in Steve.Mitnick is not satisfied with the encryption method of the mailbox password, and brings his own team I have developed a brand new encryption algorithm, this time, I mean, if there are no other accidents, it will be available in April. However, I have been making people pay attention to the trend of the Internet market, and there is no research on similar technologies. Technology company, so we can wait for some time, even if there are competitors, with our IE and Yahoo portal, the promotion is much faster than them. "

Eric nodded and became more and more interested in the guy named Steve in the mouth of Chris. He said: "If you have time, you must see it. I am most interested in perfectionist paranoia, especially to be able to stick to myself. Perfectionist. "

Chris seldom pouted, and said, "When you see it, you may have the urge to beat people."

After drawing a picture, it was almost lunch time. Eric took off the drawing board and walked to Joanna sitting on the bench. He whispered a few words with the woman. The two then greeted Chris. Straight up and walked towards the villa, Chris looked at the back of the two, and at the solitary easel on the lawn, shrugging helplessly, swearing and saying something like Eric's opposite **** and inhumanity, and then the lower sleeve , Reached out to disassemble the easel, carried it up and followed.

At lunch, the restaurant was completely home to three women. Women were originally very talkative creatures, plus Emily was already very acquainted with the two women, and I was very talkative. I was chatting while eating. Di and the two girls have been chatting from the birth of the little guys until eighteen years later. After lunch, the meaning is still unresolved, leaving behind Eric and Chris, and gathered in a small living room in the villa to discuss the holding of a small prenatal party.

Eric and Chris were not too interested in these topics, so they hid in the study room to talk about the company ’s affairs. (To be continued.)
