Chapter 954： Strength problem

Miramax has been very good in recent years, and Fox is definitely not willing to part with the Weinstein brothers.

Elizabeth frowned and thought for a while, and again to Eric in the back row: "I think Fox can also support Harvey to develop big production movies, as long as it is a commercial film?"

"Harvey's business thinking has been limited to the literary film. Let's not talk about whether it will be successful in the field of making large commercial films. If it succeeds, how do you plan to balance the two films of the 20th Century Fox and Miramax? The relationship between the factories?"

Elizabeth asked: "Isn't the new line already starting to make big budget movies? How did you deal with this?"

"Fireflies have always been very clear about the positioning of the new line of film industry. The main types of low-cost budgets can be commercial or art. The average cost of making films in the new line has been kept below $20 million. The high-budget movie you are talking about is definitely the series of "Jesus" and "Rush Hour" series. The first part of the two series, the budget cost is only 20 to 30 million dollars. Because the commercial success leads to the increase of the continuous integration. This is inevitable, and it is only a special case. It has not changed the positioning of the new line."

"Since Harvey can be born with ambitions, isn't Kenneth Horn, who is in charge of the new line, not directly involved in big production?"

Eric shook his head and said: "The new box office in the previous year has a global box office total of more than 1 billion US dollars. The same is true of the global box office figures last year. All the films released by several brands of Sony Pictures are only the global box office this year. 1.27 billion US dollars. In comparison, just a box office performance of the new line film, it is already catching up with one of the top seven Hollywood. Moreover, Kenneth Horn is responsible for the entire production and distribution system of the new line, this power More powerful than the firefighter film industry alone or the head of the department of Bo Wei International, what dissatisfaction he has. In the end, it is still a matter of strength, fireflies can provide Kenneth Horn with a large pond, Fox can give Wei Enstan’s is just a swimming pool.”

Although the development of Fox in the 20th century has been very good in recent years, the entire news group, the business center is still placed on the world's paper media, followed by the TV business. News Corporation's film business can only be ranked third.

In contrast, Firefly regards the film business as the locomotive of the entire group, which drives the development of a whole industry chain such as theme parks, peripheral products and media networks. The focus of the two media groups on the film business is naturally not the same. Coupled with the fact that the Firefly Group far exceeds the comprehensive strength of any other media group, the new line has a platform that contrasts with Miramax, saying that it is a gap between a large pond and a swimming pool. It is not an exaggeration.

Although I know that Eric is telling the truth, Elizabeth is still very dissatisfied with Eric.

Eric can only give Elizabeth some advice, and how to make a decision depends on their own decisions. At the beginning of the control of the FFM TV station in the hands of the Firefly Group, Eric is largely due to the consideration that Fox may part with Milamax. Once this situation is true, the cooperation between FFM TV and Weinstein will not be greatly affected.

Didn't care about Elizabeth's slightly sullen expression, Eric asked casually: "I haven't seen your old man for a long time. Today, on this occasion, it is reasonable to say that he should also reveal the following?"

"Dad went to Asia," Elizabeth said. She has no hope of changing Eric's name to her father. She replied directly and ignoring: "Star TV's headquarters is on Hong Kong Island. After the return of Hong Kong Island last year, Dad intends to fight with the mainland. Relationship, by the way, can you see if you can expand your business?"

I don't know why, Eric heard this sentence, and immediately appeared in the mind of a woman, if placed in ancient times, it is definitely a woman who has become the second Wu Zetian potential. I don't know if Murdoch will be won this time.

Elizabeth glanced at the rearview mirror and noticed the eccentric expression of Eric's smile and laughter. He said: "What are you thinking about, what is so strange?"

"How can I be such a pure person?"

"Nonsence!"

Eric sighed exaggeratedly, looking down at his arms and unbuttoning his shirt button and then playing the glamorous Julia, saying, "Baby, you said, am I a good person?" ”

"No," Julia shook her head honestly, then raised her face and looked forward to Eric.

Eric follows the path: "Oh, only lie will be punished."

"Yes," Julia immediately changed her position without any control.

Eric patted on Julia's buttocks: "Really."

"I really can't stand it," Elizabeth looked at the rearview mirror very disgustingly. "Eric, I think I should still ask Julia for a psychiatrist."

Eric has not answered yet, and Julia's tone immediately returned to normal, retorting: "I don't want a psychiatrist."

What Elizabeth wanted to say, and noticed that Julia buried her head in Eric's arms and licked her ears to mount an ostrich. She could only squint Eric through the rearview mirror and give up the topic again.

Back to the top of the hill, Elizabeth stopped the car, and Eric patted Julia, who still buried her head in her arms: "Get home, get off, wait until you continue to punish you."

Julia looked up and grabbed Eric's waist: "Eric, you hugged me into the house."

"Liz will be jealous," Eric said with a smile. "Change one, or I will take you back."

"Ok."

Elizabeth in the front row picked up her and Julia's bag and got off the car. Looking at the back door of the car, Julia smashed her high heels. The little girl slammed on Eric's back and said sourly to Eric: "Why do you feel that you are not jealous when you carry her back?"

Eric took Julia's light body and walked toward the villa. Without explanation, she just said: "You shouldn't be jealous anyway."

Elizabeth grinned and smacked a hand bag and photographed it on Julia.

Julia was not annoyed at all, and she sneaked into Eric and whispered something.

Eric smiled and turned her face and kissed her face. She did not forget to warn: "You must never ask in front of outsiders."

Julia smiled softly: "It won't be, I am not a fool."

Elizabeth looked at the two people whispering, suddenly understood something, and snorted: "Two abnormalities."

"Oh," Julia laughed and looked up at Elizabeth: "Liz, wait for us to play role-playing?"

Elizabeth's face was reddish: "I decided to sleep myself tonight, far from you."

"Then go to sleep," Julia squatted on Eric's shoulder: "Eric, I am hungry, you have to give me a nightingale."

"Well, how about making Chinese fried rice with rice? This is my skill, which most people can't eat."

"Hmm."

"You can't get fat when you eat this stuff in the middle of the night," Elizabeth said. "And, Eric, I remember your father used to be an Italian chef. Why do you cook Chinese food?"

Eric posted a clean face of Julia and said, "Baby, give her a reason."

Julia immediately said to Elizabeth very unreasonably: "I want you to manage!"

"Beat you."

Elizabeth raised her hand directly on Julia's ass.

Early in the morning, Eric exercised and walked into the dining room. There was a stack of newspapers on the table. Elizabeth and Julia were busy in the kitchen.

Just picked up a "Los Angeles Times" to open, the two women came in with breakfast.

Eric looked at the vegetable salad in front of him and said, "This, I am a man. Only eating this kind of thing will be starved to death."

Elizabeth poured a glass of juice in front of Eric and said, "I ate such high-calorie food last night. Of course, I have to diet today. You are the same. If one day you become a fat person, Julia and I will never Let you enter the door again."

Eric took a sip of the juice and said: "You are discriminating against fat people."

"Yeah, it's discrimination," Elizabeth glanced at Eric without disguising. She opened the chair and sat down. "Eric, I thought about it. I am going to talk openly with Harvey." "Speaker" project, Fox will pass, but the budget must not exceed 50 million US dollars, the film budget ceiling made by Miramax will maintain this standard."

"It's so good, it's better than the contradiction accumulated until the end," Eric nodded and smiled. "But we were busy for one night last night. When did you consider this?"

Elizabeth remembered that the three people who had eaten Eric’s hands-on night last night and had been tossing until one o'clock in the morning to sleep, and his face was reddish and Eric looked away: “Just not.”

Eric nodded: "Of course."

Elizabeth picked up the fork and ate the salad in front of her, and quickly said: "Speaking, I suddenly remembered another thing. If Fox and Harvey really parted ways, what about FFM TV?"

"I originally put the control of the FFM TV station under the Firefly Group, which is largely due to this consideration. Even if Harvey left Fox to go it alone, as long as you didn't get into trouble, he was on the FFM TV. The position will not be affected."

Elizabeth also knew that the Weinstein brothers were very realistic people. After listening to Eric, he let go of it.

Eric looked at Julia, who ate a small salad, and asked, "Are you, is the lower movie fixed?"

Julia looked up and said: "I was already talking about a script with Working-Title in the UK. I plan to be distributed worldwide by Fox. However, Working-Title is a film company owned by Polygram. Some time ago, Seagram I asked Working-Title to hand over the distribution rights of all of its films to Universal, and I quit."

What Eric thinks of, asks: "What is the name of the movie?"

"Notting Hill," Julia replied: "It's a romance in London, England. The actor is definitely Hugh Grant. After I don't play, they seem to be in contact with Meg Ryan and Gram. Laudia Schiff."

"If you don't play, you can try other types of movies," Eric nodded as he heard the ‘nothing’ movie.

Elizabeth heard Eric say this, but it was a strange noise. Julia mentioned Hugh Grant, she thought of her girlfriend, Elizabeth Hurley.

Two years ago, Eric put Elizabeth Hurice into the "Ace of the Great", when Elizabeth Hurley and Hugh Grant seemed to have not broken up. Elizabeth didn't believe that Eric and Elizabeth Hurley would have nothing to do with it.

Eric has somehow asked inexplicably: "What are you doing?"

"I suddenly regretted it."

"It doesn't matter, often regretting it can stimulate a person to keep moving forward."

Elizabeth waved the fork in her hand to Eric. "You guy, I mean, the original "Austin Powers", you brought me and changed "Death is coming." Now "Death." "There have been two", each of the global box office has exceeded 100 million. The first box of the "Austin Powers" North American box office is similar to "Death is coming", more than 50 million, but the overseas box office Only 13 million US dollars, there is no market at all. Now "Austin Powers 2" has been basically completed, I have seen the sample, compared with the first one is no different, the cost has risen to 30 million US dollars, I am worried that it can I can't recover the cost."

Although Elizabeth explained this, Eric understood what she was thinking.

Eric originally wanted Elizabeth Hurley to participate in "The City of Desire". Because of the opposition of Candace Bushnell, "Wuwang City" enabled the original version of the horse, and Eric put her in the " The ace of the ace of the slogan is the heroine.

Elizabeth heard Julia talking about Hugh Grant, apparently remembering it.

Listening to Elizabeth’s "Austin Powers", Eric laughed: "Or, we will change back."

Elizabeth just worried about the box office of "Austin Powers", but at this time instinctively generated vigilance: "Do not change."

"That's it," Eric shrugged.

Elizabeth blinked and changed her mind: "Change, give me the cost of the production of "Austin Powers 2" and "The Death is Coming", the film that is fast and good is yours."

"I have repented," Eric shook his head, whipped up a salad and stuffed it into his mouth. He said, "So, the opportunity is fleeting."

Julia suddenly laughed with gloating.

Elizabeth raised her fist in hate and hammered it on Eric's shoulder: "You bastard, I bite you."

"Liz, you have to know that in Chinese, this bite is very magical," Eric sneaked a small fist that was not too light, and smirked: "Hey, let's discuss it tonight."
