Chapter 269： long time no see

"I need a few months to finish the existing business in my hands." Caroline has almost no hesitation, as Eric said, the current development potential of fireflies can be seen, a small accountant Between the boss of the firm and the chief financial officer of a large company, smart people know which one to choose.

"Of course, no problem." Eric said that the company is now operating in several departments, and Eric himself has no suitable people, so he did not say anything. However, Eric will have to pay more attention to the company's finances, and it will be the best choice to insert Carolyn Elliott, who is familiar with himself, into this position. As for Robert Shea, Eric believes that if he is smart enough, he will not oppose his decision.

The two chatted for a while and walked to the office together under the staff's notice.

The meeting was not long, and the issues discussed were roughly the financial issues of the fireflies and the new line, as well as the development plan for next year. When Carolyn Eliot reported the firefly finance, Robert Shea’s face was very exciting, because the new line released six or seven films including “Ghost Street 5” this year, but the total revenue was not as good as The first part of the little devil is the first. And according to the prior contract, although Robert Shea has a 15% stake in Firefly, he can only listen to Carolyn's profit data, but can't get a penny.

During the period, Eric also announced that he would appoint Carolyn Eliot as the company's chief financial officer. Although Robert Shea was difficult to conceal, he did not refute.

The meeting opened for a whole afternoon. After the end, Eric stopped Robert Shea, who wanted to leave, and asked: "Robert. How is the preparation of the "Jin Yumeng" videotape released?"

"I have customized the first batch of 100,000 videotapes, Eric. Do you really think that "Jin Yumeng" can rely on the influence of "Seattle Sleepless" to re-sell it?" Robert Shea asked questioningly.

Eric definitely nodded. "Of course. Robert, there are too few 100,000 boxes. The first batch must make at least 300,000 boxes. You should pay attention to this."

Robert Shea’s head shook like a rattle: “Eric, this is too risky. I think there are enough 100,000 boxes, and this has already cost 1 million. We will definitely come up with one in the future. Spend money on propaganda. If the videotape is really hot, let’s make the factory rush."

"If you can't catch up," Eric asked. "Robert. Believe me, make 300,000 boxes and then spread the goods, tell those dealers, you can sell and pay later. To ensure that we can reach the channels." The video of Jin Yumeng."

"This..." Robert still hesitated. An old movie more than 30 years ago, in his opinion, after the "Night of Sleep in Seattle", it is very good to be able to sell 100,000 boxes. Eric But directly let him produce 300,000 boxes, and also take such sales methods, which in Robert's view is similar to throwing money directly into the water.

Eric thought for a moment. Said: "Robert, can you listen to me this time? If I prove that I am wrong afterwards, then I will not intervene in any business operations within a year."

Robert heard Eric say so immediately. What he fears most is that Eric is arrogant about the company's operations. Because of his age bias, Robert doesn't feel Eric's talent in running a film company. He only has several films to succeed in order to have the wealth. And status. In this case, it should be honestly filming, rather than making irresponsible remarks about the company's operations. What makes him helpless is that Eric has an 85% stake in the company.

There is Erik's promise, even if it is verbally. Robert Shea felt that he could also gamble, and the cost of 300,000 boxes of videotapes was only 3 million. In exchange for his ‘absolute control’ of the fireflies for one year, it seems to be very worthwhile for Robert: “Okay. Eric, I will implement it as soon as possible according to your plan.”

Eric watched Robert Shea leave and smiled, thinking that this method might last, and using such a 'bait' to drive Robert to do things according to his own will.

After cleaning up, Eric left the office to drive home, just out of the office building, a 30-year-old brown-haired white woman came over and stopped him.

When Eric stopped, the woman eagerly introduced: "Mr. Williams, I am Xie Lisha Cody, do you remember me? We have seen it."

Eric did have forgotten that she had had a relationship in New York with Sheila Cody, but he could not possibly know the man behind the woman, Brad Pitt.

However, compared to the ardentness of Xie Lisha Cody, Brad Pitt seems to be a lot of jealousy, it seems that he is definitely against his agent to take the initiative to find the door.

"Hello, Ms. Cody, I met again." Eric smiled and shook hands with the other person. I thought it was quite interesting. He thought that after that, he would never see Brad again. Pitt.

Xie Lisha. Cody sees Eric remembering herself, her face suddenly smiles, and I have to say that this woman is very good at maintenance. Eric can't be sure how old the other person is.

"Mr. Williams, remember your original invitation? I have joined my team with uta."

Eric recalled, remembering that there was such a thing, he saw that Xie Lisha could take a sigh with Brad Pitt and thought that this woman would be very good, so she spoke casually, but Irene K looked at the two people in front of him and asked: "What time?"

"One...a week ago," Xie Lisha replied. After seeing Eric didn't show anything else, the woman quickly said: "Mr. Williams, can you invite you to have a dinner?"

Eric looked at Xie Lisha Cody and blinked at the woman behind her barely polite smile. Brad Pitt quickly remembered the other person's purpose: "Mr. Cody, Mr. Pete will not participate. "X-Files" actor's audition?"

Seeing that Eric was broken, Xie Lisha. Cody slightly smiled and said: "Mr. Williams, Brad's audition in the afternoon, but unfortunately you are not there in the afternoon. So I came in person. I want to talk to you."

"That's all right," Eric looked at Brad Pitt behind the woman. "Mr. Peter, you don't have to go, go back and wait for news."

When Brad Pitt heard this, his face suddenly became a little embarrassing. Xie Lisha Cody realized that Eric still didn't like Brad behind him, and had to look at the man standing behind him.

"That... I will go back first," Brad Pitt finally said at the moment: "Mr. Williams, then... goodbye."

Eric just nodded slightly to the other side. When Brad Pitt left alone, Eric opened his door and said to Xie Lisha Cody: "Mrs. Cody, please get on the bus."

"Oh, thank you," the woman quickly got into the co-pilot.

In a restaurant, after finishing the food, Xie Lisha Cody can't wait to say: "Mr. Williams, in fact, Pete's acting is very good. If you don't believe it, you can go and see Pitt's videotape of the "X-Files" audition. He is I have never encountered any good opportunities."

Eric certainly knows that Brad Pitt's acting is very good, and the other has received more performance awards and nominations than Tom Cruise. However, what about this, there are countless people who have outstanding Hollywood acting skills but can’t get out of it, but there are only so many opportunities.

However, looking at the woman in front of me, Eric’s mouth has a playful smile: “Mrs. Cody, is there only one actor Brad Pitt?”

Xie Lisha. Cody didn't know why Eric suddenly asked this question, or shook his head: "No, there are four or five."

Eric shrugged: "Oh, then you are really good for Brad."

Xie Lisha. Cody's face suddenly turned red, and she certainly heard Eric's voice-over. However, the agent and the actor had nothing to say. She also heard that a 40-year-old is a 40-year-old. The music producer personally brought a 12-year-old girl to the big red, and also taught him to become his wife. The girl seems to call Xilin.

Adjusted the mentality, Xie Lisha. Cody's tone with a faint request: "Mr. Williams, can you give Pete a chance? He will certainly not let you down."

Eric looked at the woman in front of her, and her heart was quickly calculating. There was a hard-working agent who helped Brad Pitt, although the other party was 26 years old, but the actor, especially the handsome actor, had a long shelf life. Brad Pitt is still very likely to be in Hollywood in the morning and evening. This is what Eric is very reluctant to see.

In this case, the "X-Files" actor is handed over to Brad Pitt, which is not good for him. Because "X Files" is the same as "Friends", it is a TV drama with a very fixed character image. In the 10th and 8th seasons, it is almost impossible for an actor to change the screen image. The possibility of re-entering the big screen is even more rampant. . The six stars of the past "Friends", the successful transformation of the big screen, only Aniston alone. And Aniston paid a lot of money. In order to transform to the big screen, in order not to let the audience think of 'Rachel Green,' many of the characters that Aniston received were very broken.

Although I made a decision in my heart, Eric was quite 'thick'. After thinking for a while, I immediately reminded Xie Lisha Cody: "Mr. Cody, you have to think about it, once you let Mr. Pete take the "x file" The role of the actor, his screen image is likely to be finalized, and it is very difficult to transform in the future. Because the actor of this TV series must sign at least five seasons of contracts" (to be continued)
