Chapter 188： alertness

"Liz, must I do this? Maybe... I can return the clothes to him." In the small yard of Julia's house, the girl looked at the tin bucket used to burn the sundries, and her eyes flashed.

Elizabeth strongly pulled out the shirt that Julia had in her hand, stuffed it into the bucket, and lit a match and threw it in. The flame rose for a short time, and the cotton fabric quickly turned into ashes. The next few plastic buttons are still shining with unsuccessful small flames.

Clapping his hands, Elizabeth patted the small flame in the bucket and licked the shoulders of Julia: "Okay, Julia, if you want to completely drive the guy out of your life, this is The process that must go. Going to pack the bags, I have already contacted the private jet. We will go to New York first. If you have not played enough, we can fly to London, Paris."

"I feel that I should first communicate with my agent. I remember that there are notices in the past two days..."

"Hey, you are now Hollywood's top actress, Julia, not the last little actors who are not in the hands of the broker."

"but……"

Elizabeth interrupted Julia's words: "Nothing! Where is your passport? If you don't want to pack your luggage, you can bring your passport and credit card. Let's take a trip."

More than an hour later, a Boeing private jet at Los Angeles International Airport vacated.

At the same time, the director of Jonathan Demi of "The Sound of the Island" took off. After Michael Eisner's call, Eric communicated with Jonathan Demi, and Jonathan Demi flew to Venice, Italy, early the next morning. Preparing for the anti-war publicity propaganda of "Small Island", although there are more than two weeks from the beginning of the Venice Film Festival, Jonathan Demi has no connections in Italy, and everything needs to be explored and prepared. Of course, the more advanced, the more confident.

A few days after Eric, he accidentally contacted Kapoor to hear the other person’s complaints, only to know that Julia was abducted by the Murdoch’s tomboy. In addition to the psychological re-emergence of some buds and silky imaginary, Eric did not think that there would be a reason for this. He did think that Julia went out to distract her heart. The reaction after the girl was drunk that night still left a big impression on him.

In mid-August, Eric’s first two episodes of “Friends” were also successfully completed.

After his personal tutoring, the six stars of "Friends" completely entered the role state. Let Kevin Bright, the leader of the succession film, save a lot of effort.

After the test film, within a week, Disney, Paramount, Warner and other film companies have issued their own quotations, Michael Eisner really wants to win, Disney directly after the test session Two days after submitting their own quotation, "Small Island" and "Steel Wood Orchid" are 35% of the North American box office share and 10% of the overseas box office share. After seeing this number, Eric instantly produced a A feeling of deja vu. And Jeffrey directly broke, Disney gave exactly what he personally directed the film to enjoy in Fox. And it is completely priced according to the specifications of the North American box office more than 100 million yuan, otherwise, it is difficult for Disney to get any profit.

If you calculate it carefully. In fact, this condition is much higher than that given by Fox, because Fox also got the videotape and peripheral management rights of Eric’s movies at the same time, from which Fox can also get a large profit, but this time Before the fireflies, they clearly stated that they would not sell the videotapes and surrounding copyrights of several movies such as "The Sound of the Isles", only the distribution rights in North America and overseas.

After Disney, the conditions for Paramount, who were more eager to get the distribution rights, ranked second. Warner and others followed closely, and Colombia did not even quote directly.

It is true that Eric is more unexpected than Fox. On the second day of the test, Fox sent people to go to the script outline of "Sleepless in Seattle". A few days later, Fox's Karta Hunter personally found Eric and brought Fox hope. I was able to replace "Seattle Sleepless" with the suggestion of "Small Island Cry", but not for "Steel Wood Orchid".

Obviously, Elizabeth’s tentative plan came up with the attention of savvy Barry Diller, and after evaluating Seattle’s Sleepless Night, Fox is obviously more optimistic about The Island’s Cry, so there will be such a Out.

Eric didn't know what had happened in it, but for this advice from Fox, Eric rejected it directly. Modifying the contract will definitely require a series of negotiations. What will happen during the period is difficult to determine. Since Disney has already issued the same price, Eric will certainly not ask for trouble.

After confirming that there was no competition, Firefly and Disney quickly signed a contract for the release of the two films.

"Eric, I heard that you bought Pixar?" Michael Eisner asked at the reception after signing the contract.

Eric shook the red wine in the cup: "Yeah, I am interested in cartoons, so I bought it to play."

"It's really... young people," Michael Eisner didn't know what to expect. He shook his head. "So, the original Pixar and Disney collaboration in the rendering of flat animations is also cut off?"

"Does Disney's big family and big car, will you care about a little Pixar? As long as Disney greets, I don't know how many animation companies will be willing to cooperate with you."

Michael Eisner smiled helplessly. Although Disney started his animation, after Michael Eisner took over, the emphasis on animation was not as strong as that of the previous helm. This also caused some The opposition of the board members, but as Disney's prosperity, the voice of these oppositions will be weakened.

But the emphasis on animated films is not enough. Michael Eisner is only more focused on live-action movies than the previous ones. It does not mean that Michael Eisner does not pay attention to the position of Disney animated films in Hollywood. Therefore, with the rise of Eric, his acquisition of Pixar six months ago also caught the attention of Michael Eisner. More importantly, Michael Eisner heard that Pixar is making a brand new 3d animated form, which had to arouse his vigilance. (To be continued)
