Chapter 560： It’s all mine

In the following days, "Brave Heart" became more and more concerned in Hollywood. When it was learned that Mel Gibson did not accept the conditions proposed by Firefly Films for the first time, other major film companies studied it. The script of "Brave Heart" then began to contact Mel Gibson. ¤

Because "Brave Heart" and the sensational "Bin Xu" of the 30 years ago belonged to the epic film, there are many similarities in the plot. More coincidentally, the scriptwriter of Bin Xu is called Lu. Wallace, and the writer of "Brave Heart" is Landau Wallace. The two surnames are exactly the same. After some rumors, some people have even begun to compare "Brave Heart" to Hollywood's second "Ben Xu".

In 1960, Bin Xu was awarded a box office of more than 70 million US dollars at the price of 50 cents at that time. It was calculated at an average price of about 4 US dollars in 1993, equivalent to 560 million US dollars at this time. At a time when entertainment forms are becoming more and more diverse, the $560 million North American box office Hollywood has not been able to think about it for a while, but even half of the $560 million is enough to make all Hollywood studios crazy.

Eric did not think that things would develop to the point where it was later. Perhaps it was stimulated by the media and Hollywood. Mel Gibson’s self-confidence swelled, and the negotiators sent by the Firefly Production Department raised such things as raising pay and sharing. Increase a range of demanding conditions such as investment and absolute control of the film. The big production of more than 50 million US dollars is mainly to make money, Oscar is just a icing on the basis of profit, the original "Courageous Heart" box office has no good place. Eric will only agree to the conditions of Mel Gibson if his brain burns out. Negotiations are fruitless. Eric simply gave up on the follow-up of this project.

As for Sophie, on the day the news was revealed, Eric called her again and told the Sophie that there was a change. Sophie also simply expressed her anger, and Eric ridiculed it, but in the tone, she always had a little bit of affection.

Although "Brave Heart" is a scent for other film companies, but for Eric is just an inadvertent episode, he has to pay attention to too many things.

Early August. Katherine Bigelow’s long-awaited “Save the Ryan Ryan” officially started in Ireland. Although Eric can’t go to Europe, he still keeps an eye on the film. He will talk to Catherine on the phone in three days. Shooting problems.

At the same time, "Real Lies" was also filmed in Washington. Cameron's film quality is absolutely guaranteed. Eric will only routinely beat him when he burns too much money. Of course, it is basically useless.

In addition, the 2d cartoon "Lion King", which has been personally responsible by Kasenberg, has completed more than half of the production progress. Although it can be released at the end of the year if it is done. But Eric insisted on putting the film next year.

These are the main films of the planned summer program in 1994. The end of the year, "Detective Aircraft Head 2", "Night Vampire" and Quentin's "Pulp Fiction" are all being produced in an orderly manner.

In addition, the second part of Jurassic Park is of course included in the firefly production plan. After Roland Emmerich completed the "World and Earth Clash", he also began to prepare for "Don Liri", Ai Rick will also pay attention to the remaining films from Sony Pictures from time to time. Finally, the newly established DreamWorks Film Company has established three heroines and directors and has auditioned the secondary actors. jobs.

Although 90% of the work does not require Eric to personally work together, but these projects together, the total investment of more than one billion US dollars, the need for Eric's personal attention to pile up still keep him busy every day. Ground.

In addition to the film, after several days of consideration, Murdoch still refused to agree to most of the conditions in the withdrawal plan proposed by Firefly Films. The two sides began to talk about the final details, and it is expected that all equity transactions can be completed in mid-September. In order to be as unobtrusive as possible, this matter was very low-key, and Murdoch and Eric did not personally participate in the negotiations.

Sitting in the office of the Firefly Films Headquarters, Eric is now on the phone with Christo, who is far away from Northern Europe.

After a month of negotiations, Nokia’s acquisition has entered the final stage. Chris has successfully acquired 51% of Nokia’s mobile communications division for $420 million, achieving absolute control. Although the premium is over 20%, in Eric's view, the deal is definitely not a cabbage.

Eric is holding a microphone and talking to Chris about setting up a company in Ireland to achieve tax avoidance. The office door was suddenly pushed open, and Eric looked up and saw Elizabeth’s eyes darting in, as well as Drew, with a small face, Tina. Philip shrinks her neck and follows the two women, noting that Eric looks at herself, and Tina Fei squeezes her eyes at Eric, as if hinting at it.

In fact, even without the suggestion, looking at Elizabeth and Drew to go to their desks, left and right are far away from each other, Eric can almost think of what happened.

After talking to Chris a few words in a hurry, Eric did not speak, and Elizabeth grievously pointed to Drew and said: "Eric, you tell her, have you talked to my dad about tg? ""

Eric just nodded, and Drew said without hesitation: "I also know that I have talked, but Eric did not agree with your father at that time, you lied to me."

Elizabeth succumbed to her nose and suddenly looked at Eric: "You know the default."

After that morning, Xiao Nizi disappeared for a few days in a row. Eric thought that the matter had been solved. I didn’t expect the two to be more stiff.

To say the call at the time, Eric neither agreed nor opposed. How to understand it is correct. At this time, both eyes are staring at themselves. Eric is not biased towards either side. I can only get up and pull the two women together and walk down to the sofa in the meeting area. Road: "What is your situation now, let me talk about it?"

Drew immediately sighed with a small face and said: "She refused to admit that she cheated me."

"Why do I lie to you, Eric clearly acquainted," Elizabeth was excited.

"You are a dead liar," Drew said again.

Perhaps it was the grievances of the heart, and Elizabeth couldn't help it anymore. She jumped up and rushed toward Drew.

Eric quickly went up to separate the two women, watching the two women separated by themselves and not forgetting to stick out their small claws to each other. Eric said with some smiles: "The fight can be, not allowed to catch on the face, it is mine."

This sentence just fell, Elizabeth opened a small white tooth and bite on Eric's arm, Xiao Nizi immediately unhappy, and he is reluctant to bite, why do you first go out, so I also grabbed Eric The arm slammed up.

There was a very miserable cry in the office, and after a while Eric was sitting on the sofa again. The sleeves of the shirt rolled up and looked at the red crescent on the left and right arms. Sighed, ignoring Tina Fey, who was still snickering next to her, looking at the two women who had been honestly sitting opposite: "Well, this is my mistake. I didn't make it clear at the time. You also Don't make trouble, follow the plan that I and Rupert discussed at the time, and have opinions?"

Drew just grinned and twisted his head and didn't talk.

Elizabeth shook her head, and some looked guiltily at the red tooth print on Eric's arm. Suddenly she lowered her head. Her heart was somewhat guilty. In fact, she realized that it was her own old man. However, in the face of Xiao Nizi's gun with a great question, Elizabeth, who has always been strong, is even less likely to admit that she lied, but her daughter can't point her finger at her father, so she stagnated and dragged a few. The sky eventually had to go to Eric's 'confrontation'.

"Since there is no opinion, then this way, Drew, Tina, you two go back first, I talk to Liz."

Xiao Nizi snorted and stood up indignantly. Tina Fei had some small disappointments in her heart, but she quickly followed.

The office door just closed, and Elizabeth whispered like a mosquito: "Eric, sorry, I don't know if my dad would."

"Forget it, I will settle this account with your father," I watched Elizabeth suddenly raise her head. Eric smiled and added: "You can rest assured that it is definitely not a physical calculation."

Elizabeth soon remembered Eric’s previous question, and smiled, but she no longer pleaded for her unscrupulous father. Anyway, the capital class on the top of their pyramid, even if it’s an eye-opener, it’s not too good. It is possible to reach the point where the other party is ruined. When she squats, Elizabeth looks at Eric's arm and asks weakly: "You... still hurt?"

Eric reached out and rubbed it on a tooth print and smiled. "It's okay, wait for me to get a rabies vaccine."

Elizabeth gave a sigh of laughter and wanted to find something to throw into Eric. On the sofa in the office, she didn't have a pillow. She could only give Eric a white eye: "You are withdrawing from Fox TV. Is it going to buy TV network? ”

"Well, this plan has already been confirmed. The launch of the Fox TV network is just to avoid legal trouble."

Fireflies kept shares in Fox TV. The relationship between the two sides will always be closer. The fireflies will withdraw at this time. Although Elizabeth has some disappointment in her heart, she also knows the reason for this. Some of them have lost ground and said: "Ng is now scattered. Doesn't that mean that we have nothing to do in the future?"

Eric smiled and said, "Why, you want to marry me?"

Elizabeth looked a little resentful: "You have so many women, I heard that you have been going to the Spanish sisters recently, do you still care about me?"

Eric said without hesitation: "Of course, I care about every woman I have."

Elizabeth’s heartbeat seemed to speed up a few points, but she said unwillingly: “You are really shameless.”

"I don't deny it, you know it anyway." Eric shrugged. "You, Drew said that you will go to the 20th Century Fox as vice president. What do you do?"

"The film company's performance has not been ideal for a few years. Dad asked me to be the producer, and I still continue to serve as the tg."

Speaking of tg, Eric remembers the big trouble that has been entangled in tg and asks: "Is Jin. Kerry talking about it?"

"Well, I have already negotiated. He has signed three more contracts, $15 million in pay and 5% profit."

In recent years, more and more top stars in Hollywood have begun to ask for film sharing. Eric is not surprised by this price. If it is other first-line superstars, the film company will be willing to give similar high prices, but it will never be Sexually signed three. However, Kim Kerry’s box office appeal is very stable. Although it has reached its peak since the disguise of geeks, the two years are still in the heyday of the career, and the film cost of Kim Kerry has been compared. Low, signing such a price, Fox will not take too much risk.

Eric thought about these things and asked: "I haven't heard about Vampire Hunter Buffy for a long time. Are you planning to arrange this TV show?"

"About the first broadcast on September 28," Elizabeth thought for a moment, and nodded again: "It is indeed September 28, because this is a vampire movie with a relatively small subject, although some people think Can be divided into the youth campus fantasy drama, proposed to use "Friends" as a leading set, but the final result is decided to use the "x file" to do the front guide, so it is more secure, Eric, what do you think this TV series can get Viewing?"

The original "Buffy the Vampire Hunter Buffy" can form a trend of chasing after the small WB TV broadcast of Time Warner. At this time, it is placed on the Fox TV station that has covered the whole country, and has the audience base cultivated by the "x file". The rating is the same as the "x file" should not be a problem.

However, Eric did not dare to pack the ticket, saying: "Jos Weiden's script is very good. If you don't change the movie as you did in the movie, the ratings should be guaranteed. As for the extent of the game. I can't say it."

Elizabeth heard the uncertainty in Eric's tone, and it was not too hearty. The high-rated TV series did not appear after all. The four major TV stations had three hours of prime time every day, except for some variety shows and festival special programs. On average, there are no fewer than ten TV shows to be broadcast each week, but there are often only one or two TV ratings.

Aside from this, Elizabeth asked: "You just said that something is going to talk to me, what is it?"

"Nothing, just chat and chat, I haven't been to you for a long time, how about tonight?"

"Julia is not at home," Elizabeth just blurted out the words and immediately realized that there was something wrong with it. Her face became red and she didn't dare to look at Eric's eyes again. (To be continued, please search for astronomical literature, the novel is better updated faster!
