Later Natalie Portman, a little girl named Natalie Hershlag at this time, after the mother left with the driver of Eric, looked at the young man who was squatting on the side of the road again, and felt very strange. In her impressions, the big Directors that occasionally appear on the TV screen are either serious or funny or maverick. She thinks that most of them are pretend.
At this time, this guy named Eric Williams with a series of Box Office miracles on her head gave her a completely impenetrable feeling, because according to normal thinking logic, only those boys in the school at the same level will Pretend to be in front of her.
Moreover, his dress at this time also looks a little nondescript. A black jacket is open, revealing a t-shirt with unknown patterns, and a pair of trousers looks crumpled. If you burn a colorful flower Broom head and bright earrings are almost the same as the legendary speeding party.
Well, it's barely a handsome speeding party, much more handsome than a bald party.
Looking at Eric's fascinating look, the little girl looked at the road along the Eric's gaze, and car passed by quickly or slowly, maybe he was thinking it was more cost-effective to rob that car.
I feel that my thoughts are somewhat inexplicably funny. The girl grinned, stepped on the white wave shoes to the left hand side of Eric, and then squatted down to look at the vehicles that became more and more after work hours.
Chrysler, Toyota, Chevrolet, Ford, BMW ...
It is estimated that the white convertible BMW is the most expensive. I heard that the German cars are of good quality.
After a few minutes, Natalie realized the identity of this guy next to him again, but he was the big Director of Hollywood and Boss of Film Studio, so she touched the man next to her elbow with her elbow: "Mr. Williams ? "
"Huh?"
"You ... do you need a small Actor for your Film Studio?"
Eric choked off the burning cigarette **** in his hand. Tossed into the drain next to it, and at the same time put away the little emotions in my heart and looked at the girl crouching beside him. Said with interest: "Yes."
"So what do you think of me?"
Eric looked up and down at this time Natalie, a thin white t-shirt wrapped in a thin body. A slender calf was exposed under the khaki cropped trousers, shaking his head: "Too thin."
"Hey, the stars are not very thin," the girl immediately argued: "When I was ten years old, Revlon had invited me to be their child professional model, and I had participated in two years of drama Camp training, and also served as a substitute for the Heroine stage drama "Cruel", um ... Although I failed to play in the end, it was enough to prove my acting strength. "
Eric smiled and asked: "Do you want to be a star or Actor?"
"Hey. Of course it's a star. I don't want to be a housewife with a life that is the same as my Mama. It's a boring life like that."
"Well, then I will give you a chance to be a star," Eric pointed to the car parked next to him: "Help me get the mobile phone in the car, in the front row."
Natalie was still thinking about how to persuade Eric to give himself a chance to participate in the movie. Hearing this sentence of Eric, he almost sat on the ground in surprise, but the psychological quality of the girl was still good. Wen Yan's small hand jumped up against the ground, pulled open the Toyota car door and drilled into the front row, and soon handed that Motorola mobile phone to Eric. His eyes blinked and stared at the Eric, pulled out a business card from his pocket, and dialed.
"Hey, Luc, it's me, Eric ..." After Luc Besson's call was connected, Eric didn't talk too much, and went straight to the theme: "I'm still on the road, but the car broke down ... No, no, no, no, no. Of course not. I can solve it myself, I mean. I just met a little girl, I think she is very suitable for the role of Matilda. Maybe you can give that role to her ... I am serious, Nà, You two chat. "
After this sentence was finished, Eric stuffed the mobile phone to Natalie, said nothing, and again found a cigarette to ignite and lifted his chin towards the girl.
Natalie held the mobile phone for two seconds, and quickly put the microphone to his ear: "Hello ... Hello, my name is Natalie Hershlag."
Eric vaguely heard the introduction of Luc Besson, and then the girl looked a little dazed, but after a short panic, Natalie has calmed down at this time and said: "Besson Director Hello, although I do n’t know the name What is the role of Matilda, but I think I can try it, if you can give me a chance to audition ... Oh, Manhattan, Hell's Kitchen District, Vann Hotel Tenth Avenue ... Yes, I remember, tomorrow morning at nine o'clock ... I will pass on time, thank you, bye. "
Hang up the phone, the girl seems to have some incredible illusion, but when she realized that all of this is true, Natalie almost jumped with excitement.
Carefully return the mobile phone to Eric, Natalie showed a eager expression: "Mr. Williams, can you tell me some specific information about the role of Matilda, maybe I can prepare a little tonight."
"A precocious rebellious little girl, like you."
Natalie would like to refute that she is not rebellious at all, at most it can be regarded as naughty, but she swallowed this sentence and asked again: "Can you be more specific?"
"These are enough," Eric smiled somewhat mysteriously: "It's yours, it's always yours."
Natalie was reluctant to continue to ask. Mrs. Hershlag, who had just left, drove back here again. car just stopped, and the girl ran to her mother excitedly, telling her mother the good news just now.
Carter is picking up a toolbox from white Chevrolet. Hearing the girl ’s words, he glanced at Eric with interest, and walked towards Toyota parked on the roadside.
"Mr. Williams, although it's a bit pretense to say so, are you kidding Nat?"
Eric handed the Luc Besson business card to Mrs. Hershlag, saying: "This is Director business card, maybe it will help you a little."
Mrs. Hershlag took a look at the business card. Since Eric said so, she no longer doubted the authenticity of the words that Eric just said to her daughter. Just frowned slightly: "But, Nat has just started school, will filming delay her study?"
"Mama. No, it is estimated to be a small character. It will not be delayed for a few days."
Mrs. Hershlag thinks that her daughter ’s thoughts may be right. She just relaxed, and Eric said: “It ’s not a small character, it ’s Heroine. If you really want shoots, it may take two to three months.”
"Wow," a somewhat surprised voice rang.
Mrs. Hershlag immediately frowned: "If so ..."
"If Nat can get this role, the company will arrange for her private teacher to make regular supplementary lessons. Of course. It all depends on your own decision."
"Then I need to discuss with my husband."
"Of course, but the reason why there is such an opportunity is because the original Heroine this afternoon had to release the crew because of sudden appendicitis. Because the crew has been turned on and consumes a lot of money every day, it is impossible for a role If it is dragged for too long, it is estimated that it will be determined in a maximum of two or three days. "
"Mama, Mama," Natalie heard this sentence. Immediately showing a pitiful expression pulled the sleeves of the mother.
Everything should be done, and Eric did not continue to say anything, since it can meet Natalie in Long Island, which is thousands of kilometers away. Eric thought that Matilda should still belong to that Natalie Portman.
As expected by Eric, the next day, Luc Besson called Eath Hampton and expressed great satisfaction with the performance of Natalie. Although the girl ’s parents disagreed with the girl after watching script, they could n’t bear the girl ’s soft grinding Hard bubble, finally agreed.
Manhattan ’s trip was like a small episode of Eric ’s life in the Eath Hampton dad ’s life, and the following days calmed down again.
The case of Jackson is still booming, and it is estimated that it will be a few more months. If this kind of thing falls on Eric. He will definitely win this lawsuit at all costs, because only this is the best result. Moreover, United States as a money society. For the billionaire Jackson, there is a great advantage. The Simpson murder case in the memory of Eric is the most favorable proof of playing with the law under the offensive of money.
It's a pity that although Jackson is talented, he is only a child in his heart, and he is surrounded by too many people who want to benefit from him, which is destined to the tragedy of this genius.
After a three-week break, with the completion of the Firefly Pictures withdrawal plan from Fox TV Network, Eric had to start working again.
After adopting a series of reasonable tax avoidance measures, Firefly finally received funds from News Corp for 650 million USD.
Because Disney owns hundreds of Disney stores and Disneyland, the cash flow of Firefly Pictures is far more abundant than the other Hollywood Film Studio. Coupled with the huge profits from a series of hot movies, Firefly Pictures ’s cash reserves reached an astonishing 4billion USD in two years, which is more than three times the market value of Metro Goldwyn Mayer Film Industry. Box Office was completed in several films such as the summer film "Jurassic Park" Settlement, this figure will be close to the 5billion USD mark.
In September, after some intense "competition", Firefly Pictures rightfully lost to Viacom in the acquisition of Blockbuster video chain store. Although it got the Blockbuster chain store, the mood of Redstone is still very bad because the original 8 billion USD The Blockbuster that can be won, because of the intervention of Firefly Pictures, the final purchase price increased by 600 million USD. After signing the acquisition agreement, Redstone also realized that Firefly Pictures did not really intend to bid for Blockbuster, and the anger old man, who spent more than 600 million USD in injustice, once again publicly sneered at Firefly.
After getting rid of the equity of Fox TV Network, under the auspices of Katzenberg, Firefly began to slowly take in the shares of ABC TV Station in the circulation market, and at this time, the actual purpose of Firefly Pictures could no longer be concealed, and the company ’s executives began to blatantly contact ABC at the same time. , NBC and CBS three TV Station.
After the news was made public, the stock prices of the three major TV Stations started to rise at the same time, and the circulation of equity in the market became more frequent. For this reason, Firefly ’s secretly eating into ABC shares also became less conspicuous. During this period, Katzenberg submitted a plan to Eric, intending to use several scattered shell companies to absorb about 10% of the outstanding shares of ABC, and then to enter the Board of Directors of ABC, and formally initiated an invitation to purchase.
In late September, Chris, who spent several months in Northern Europe, finally returned to New York, along with CEO Jorma Ollila of Nokia Group.
After Jorma Ollila personally signed some documents with Eric, and then interviewed with Eric for several hours, he hurriedly left Eath Hampton and returned to Finland.
Standing side by side with Chris on the road outside the Eath Hampton manor, watching the Jorma Ollila vehicle disappear. Eric only asked: "Isn't he in a good mood?"
"Of course, this is obvious," Chris showed a sly smile and walked to the manor side by side with Eric, saying: "I have to say that this acquisition is really a big deal for you, you may not know Five days after we signed the equity transfer agreement, several EU member states publicly announced the use of the GSM digital communication network to replace the original analog communication method. I was originally worried that the GSM network would be replaced by the network standard developed by other large companies. As soon as this news came out, it basically confirmed that the status of the GSM network was at least unshakable in Europe. The share price of Nokia rose by 27% in the last week. As you can imagine, what are the hearts of those who sold the shares now? I feel, and Jorma Ollila did not want the shareholders of Bank of Finland to give up the controlling rights, so he is only so depressed now. "
Eric said with a smile: "Then you will no longer question my original decision now?"
"Of course," Chris said: "Eric, I found that your personal consciousness is a hundred times sharper than all the smart people I met in the previous 30 years, I am really curious what you passed Information to judge these things, such as the Gulf War, such as Nokia, and Firefly Pictures, a series of highly successful films? "
"If I say this talent, do you believe it?"
Chris shook his head and smiled, "I don't believe it, but seeing is believing, I seem to have no second choice other than believing." (To be continued)
