America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 302 300. Classmate Xiao Liu, how can you thank me?

"Eric, oh my God! Yesterday afternoon, I actually got a call."

As soon as the door closed, classmate Xiao Liu couldn't wait to throw herself into Eric's arms.

Well……

After a passionate kiss, Eric gently rubbed her bunny and asked: "What did you say on the phone?"

"The call came from Yanjing. The company wants to terminate the contract with me without any additional conditions."

"My mother was very happy when she found out. She flew back overnight. When she arrived, it was just in the afternoon. She signed the contract quickly to avoid a long night of dreams."

"You've got Chen Jinfei! You've really got him!"

Eric chuckled: "The facts are not right in front of you, why don't you believe it?"

Since I visited Todd Meister last week, his efficiency has indeed been very high.

After a few days, Chen Jinfei couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to find Zhou Xiaopeng.

A message was sent to Eric through Lao Zhou, expressing his willingness to let him go and hoping that this would be the end of it. From now on, you will walk on your Yangguan Road and I will cross my single-plank bridge, and everyone will pretend that they don’t know each other.

Lao Zhou is also interesting. Chen Jinfei didn't give him face last time, but he took up the stance this time.

After stretching the other party for two days, Chen Jinfei initially asked for monetary compensation, but later he simply refused to receive any compensation.

There must have been pressure from my partner, it’s not worth it for a woman.

"No, that's not what you mean. How could I not believe you? I'm worried about whether he made excessive demands?"

"My mother said that Chen Jinfei's attitude was very firm and he would not let anyone go no matter what, even if he was beaten to death, how did you do that?"

Eric tightened his fingers slightly and unhooked the bra through his clothes.

"Some people are pretentious. If you contact this guy for the first time, he will just make some demands. It doesn't matter if you satisfy him. After all, he will spend a lot of real money to flatter you."

"But it's too late now. Chen Jinfei is no longer qualified to make demands. I asked a friend to use some tricks on his company."

"He is very timid, but this also shows that he is indeed an outstanding businessman, and his mind is quite clear when assessing the situation."

"Crystal, do you know how to watch football?"

"Huh? Football? I hear some news occasionally, but I don't pay much attention to it." Liu Yifei was a little surprised that it suddenly got involved in football.

"If you watch football, you will know that players often kneel down on the lawn to celebrate after scoring a goal."

"Chen Jinfei is like this now. He is very natural and transparent. He is eager to send your mother and daughter away as soon as possible and get rid of the relationship completely."

Ha ha ha ha……

Upon hearing this analogy, a picture flashed through Xiao Liu's mind and he couldn't help but clapped his hands and laughed.

"I helped you take care of things, but your mother is not here either. How do you want to repay me?" Eric asked, holding her chin.

Liu Yifei had already made plans for this day.

There was no struggle or refusal, but he took the initiative to put his arms around Eric's neck.

The two kissed each other passionately, and at the same time, the clothes on their bodies were also reduced piece by piece.

Eric keeps going down. It is said that the road is long and long, so I will search up and down.

"Have you finished watching "Dragon Ball"?"

"ah?"

"snort!"

"ah!"

Don't be sad and resentful. Silence is better than sound at this time.

After a fierce battle, both of them fell asleep. After an unknown amount of time, a rapid ringing of the phone rang.

Liu Yifei opened her eyes and found that it was her mother calling.

"Sissi, the contract has been terminated. I just terminated the contract with Hongxingwu!" Liu Xiaoli couldn't hide her excitement on the phone.

"Great! I'm finally free! Eric, you are so awesome, mu!"

Hearing this, classmate Xiao Liu suddenly sucked a wave on Eric's face.

"Who? Eric? Are you with him?"

"Yes, just with me." Eric replied loudly, and he didn't bother to pretend when he had it in his mouth.

"You...you guys! It's up to you, I don't care!"

Dudu

After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiaoli finally understood that she couldn't prevent it, she couldn't prevent it at all, her daughter's heart had been stolen long ago.

On the other hand, stimulated by the good news, the two people's interest was reignited again.

…………………………………………

In just over a month, "The Conjuring" and "Mean Girls" were all finished.

In the end, "The Conjuring" grossed US$96.7 million at the North American box office, US$121 million at the overseas box office, and the global box office exceeded 200 million US dollars.

Compared with the cost of more than 10 million, the exaggerated return rate of more than 20 times, it is modest to say that you have made a lot of money.

Then the funny thing happened, a lot of offers were handed to James Wan.

From the six major companies, major second-tier brands, and third-tier small workshops, even Lions Gate, which had been cheated, once again extended an olive branch.

As for those words that belittled and insulted him six months ago because of "Dead Silence", no one will mention them again.

In Hollywood, the rules are simple, as long as you can help me make money, you are my dad.

Disney even offered a model of US$15 million plus dividends, hoping to attract James Wan.

But after experiencing the setback of "Dead Silence", James Wan's thinking has become more mature. He still needs more time to grow. Moreover, there are still many elements in the Conjuring universe that attract him. Cooperation with MGM is the current optimal solution.

So he decisively rejected those generous conditions and would devote himself to the creation of new scripts after a break.

"Mean Girls" made $51 million in North America and $103 million worldwide, barely breaking $100 million.

Originally, it was unlikely to break $100 million, after all, the summer season was very tight. According to its box office performance, it should have been taken off the screen a week ago.

But in order to achieve a more eye-catching result, MGM still communicated with the theaters and let the movie be shown for another week, which achieved the goal.

However, one more week would cost one more week. Although the box office seemed to be more beautiful, the actual share of the money would be reduced.

For this, Daddario was naturally grateful and could say that he was the heroine of the billion-dollar club in the future.

So Eric unlocked several new postures with chewing and biting.

At night, the Olsen family villa, or Eric's palace, anyway, after sleeping together, rooms have been arranged for everyone here, and the keys have been matched.

Tonight is the Emmy Awards, the biggest ceremony in the television industry, known as the TV Oscars.

Although the Emmy Awards this time are given to programs broadcast during prime time, Lionheart's routine of releasing the entire series at once does not seem to fit the bill.

But to say that it is completely irrelevant, it seems to make sense that it can be watched 24 hours a day, and of course prime time is included.

Besides, Lionheart has released so many hits this year, and if it pretends to be blind and ignores them, it will be difficult to explain to the audience.

"Come here quickly, it's about to start!"

Elizabeth shouted at the top of her voice, and then there was a crisp sound, and Eric seemed to hear the sound of mahjong falling to the ground.

"Too hot! You actually flipped the table, I'm about to win!" Mary pointed at Gadot and shouted.

Gadot sat next to Eric with an innocent look on her face: "I didn't mean to do that. Elizabeth's voice was too sharp and scared me."

"You obviously have a bad hand. You did it on purpose, definitely on purpose!"

Eric grabbed the banana next to him and stuffed it into Mary's mouth: "Stop arguing, girls. Let's wait and see if we can take home a few trophies this time."

The camera swept across the entire venue of the Temple Theatre, where countless stars were sitting.

There were movie stars, TV stars, variety show masters, socialites, popular singers, and so on.

"Over there! I saw the crew of House of Cards, Kevin Spacey is there too."

"Next to them is the crew of Supernatural, isn't that Crystal Liu? She seems to be nominated too."

"Why is American Horror Story arranged so far away? Shouldn't everyone sit together?"

"I think the variety show has a high chance of winning, The Voice will definitely win, but I didn't see Michael, so I was a little disappointed."

"Celine Dion didn't attend either, but fortunately Janet Jackson and Jayz were still there, at least there was something to watch, I wonder if they will perform."

"Have you noticed Big Golden Retriever? His show The Apprentice also had high ratings, and he even said he could win an award, hahahaha."

"Hahaha Big Golden Retriever always speaks without restraint, but I like to read his gossip about people, it's hilarious."

Listening to the chattering of several people, Eric couldn't help but think to himself, now you think Big Golden Retriever is like a comedian, but you don't know that he will be the president in the future, where can you go to reason?

On the TV screen, after an opening performance, several hosts came on stage, still in the same multi-host mode as last year.

They teased the interesting things that happened in the past year and told some harmless jokes, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams came up from the backstage as award presenters. Their relationship has been made public and their popularity among young people has soared.

"Thank you to the Academy for letting us present the awards. All the nominees are our predecessors. Those nominated for Best Actress in a Mini-Series are."

"Meryl Streep's Angels in America, Helen Mirren's Prime Suspect, Judy Davis's The Reagan, Glenn Close's The Lion in Winter and Emma Thompson's Angels in America."

That's right, one drama has two nominations. Although it is not common, the work is really excellent.

"Angels in America" ​​is HBO's trump card that has been heavily invested in this year, bringing together a group of movie stars such as Al Pacino and Meryl Streep.

The script is solid and the plot is good, and it has received a large number of nominations.

Fortunately, it is a miniseries, and it is not on the same track as Lionheart Network's drama, otherwise there would be trouble tonight.

There is no doubt that this award was won by Aunt May, which is consistent with the media's prediction. Everyone is very convinced that she won the award.

Then the Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy was presented, and it was won by Cynthia Nixon in "Sex and the City".

"Sex and the City" has also won numerous awards in recent years, and it can be said to be the Emmy Award for Comedy.

But it is over, there will be no next season next year, and the four main actors have also said that it is time to say goodbye to the audience, and HBO's ace program has lost one.

The Best Guest Actor in a Comedy was won by John Turturro for his performance in "Monkey King", and the Best Guest Actress was won by Laura Linney for "Frasier".

Then Sharon Stone took the stage to present the Best Costume Design Award.

Charlize Theron leaned on Eric's shoulder to make herself more comfortable: "Finally, it's our show."

"Costume design has always been the most important part of film and television works. It makes the characters more three-dimensional and more convincing. It often requires a lot of research, and every participant deserves respect."

"The nominees for Best Costume Design are Angels in America, The Lion in Winter, Miracles, House of Cards, and Blackwater."

Sharon Stone opened the envelope: "The winner of the Emmy Award for Best Costume Design is Mike Wehdenrell of House of Cards."

"YES!" Elizabeth waved her fist excitedly, even more excited than the people at the scene.

The camera was given to each nominee, and everyone smiled and sent blessings, and they didn't look uncomfortable.

In fact, the costumes of House of Cards seem simple, not ancient, fantasy, or other types that require exquisite imagination.

But its feature is absolute reality. What people in the political arena wear in reality, the actors wear the same, and it is completely restored one to one.

The reason why the production cost of House of Cards is so high is that in addition to the actors, it is spent on costumes and props. Simply put, it is made with money.

The West Wing, which is also a political drama, is not so particular in this regard.

Mike Weidenlaer walked onto the stage and happily accepted the trophy: "Thank you very much to the Academy for giving me the award. This is the highest honor I have ever received in my career."

"I must thank MGM and director Eric Cooper for spending so much money on a show. He is really courageous."

"I also want to thank my friends in the crew and my family. Thank you for your support. Thank you!"

As Weidenlaer gave his speech, the camera was turned to the crew and his wife, but Eric was the only one missing.

Last year he won the Best Screenwriter award, setting a new record, but he did not attend this year, which was somewhat regrettable.

But it doesn't matter, because regret is coming soon.

"The nominees for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama are Derema Tai (The Sopranos), Stockart Jennings (The West Wing), Robin Weigert (Deadwood), Tyne Daly (The Outsiders), and Crystal Liu (Supernatural).

"The winner is"
