In another room near the lounges of the two crews, Eric was chatting with the big guys from other companies who were already present.

Although these executives have their own masters, in fact, many of them are very familiar with each other, and there is no sense of strangeness in chatting, because the turnover of executives of the seven major film companies is very frequent.

For example, Barry Diller, who was not there, was in charge of Paramount before 1984 and is now the CEO of Fox, while Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg, who were originally at Paramount, were Barry at the time. Diller's deputy, the two are now the CEO of Disney and the president of Disney. If history does not change, Jeffrey Katzenberg will be the CEO of DreamWorks in a few years. Columbia's Amy Pascal was a Fox executive before she joined the company. It is precisely by virtue of these intricate interpersonal relationships that several major film companies ensure that they compete with each other and at the same time have full cooperation with each other.

Eric, how much box office do you plan to make for the two films this time? Let's talk about it first, let us have a reference when we quote? Michael Eisner asked in front of the others, although A casual look like nothing happened, but there is some inexplicable expectation in his eyes.

Eric put down the coffee cup and smiled: Mr. Eisner, to be honest, I can only guarantee that the quality of these two films is excellent. As for how much box office they can get, it depends on the audience and the market. reaction.

You can't do this. You are so smooth at a young age. Young people have to be a little bit bold. Paramount president Nader Tarn said, the other party is a man who is almost sixty years old. The old man with white hair and a smile on his face looks kind and amiable. This sentence also sounds like the elders are inspiring the younger generation, which will naturally make people feel close.

Eric smiled and showed a humbly and educated appearance, but he was actually slandering in his heart. These old guys are smoother than each other. If he really listens to their opinions, he will wait to be tricked and pay for the number of people.

Speaking of which, since Barry Diller and Michael Eisner and others have successively left a large number of executives, Paramount's vitality has been greatly damaged, and the current film performance is in a mess. This year, only one Raiders of the Lost Ark can win. It can be done, but the producers and directors of Raiders of the Lost Ark are the famous George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, both of whom are very shrewd film businessmen, and Paramount estimates that To be able to earn some of the hard work of publishing, most of the profits must be split between George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.

In the previous analysis, Eric felt that Paramount might be the one with the highest bid. This time, the test film will adopt a hidden bid method. After everyone has watched the film, they will each offer their own conditions, and Firefly will be based on The sharing conditions offered by several film companies determine which party to cooperate with. However, the appearance of Michael Eisner suddenly made the expected results confusing, because Michael Eisner's attention is likely to arouse the desire of other major film companies to compete. After all, he only used In just five years, Disney's performance has skyrocketed, and now its 'status' in Hollywood even has the momentum to overwhelm the old boss Barry Diller.

Alan Feisman gently opened the door, walked to Eric gently, tried not to highlight his presence, bent over and said in Eric's ear: Mr. Williams, Fox people are here.

Eric nodded,

With a smile, he said to Michael Eisner and others: I'm sorry everyone, wait a moment, I'll pick someone up.

Walking out of the room, Eric took Alan towards the elevator. It is estimated that the other party is coming up soon. Allen said again at this time: Mike at the reception downstairs said that there are two people from Fox, besides Karta Hunter, there is also a woman.

Eric was stunned for a moment before asking, Do you recognize who the other party is?

Allen shook his head: I don't know, Mike said that the girl was only about twenty years old, very young, but Karta Hunter treated her very respectfully.

Karta Hunter is in charge of Fox's film distribution, and he is also a vice president in terms of level. He can maintain his respect. It is estimated that there are only a few people such as Barry Diller. Among them, there will be no one twenty. girl around the age of 3.

Not understanding, Eric stopped thinking about it and came to the elevator. The special elevator just made a ding sound, and a man and a woman came out.

Hello, Karta, Eric stepped forward with a smile, hugged Karta Hunter gently, and glanced at the blonde who was standing beside Karta, looking at him with interest, The girl looks about 20 years old, 1.7 meters tall, with short blond hair just covering her ears, very beautiful, with an awl face, slender eyebrows and eyes, wearing a black and white plaid shirt and light yellow casual trousers, with her feet on Black flats.

This should be a standard career woman, Eric thought, because she was very similar to Amy Pascal sitting in the lounge.

After greeting Karta, the other party was about to help introduce, but the girl took the initiative to extend her hand: Hello, Mr. Williams, my name is Elizabeth Murdoch.

Eric raised his eyebrows slightly. From the Murdoch family, with Karta Hunt's attitude towards girls, Eric felt that the other party should be a direct family member of Rupert Murdoch.

Hello, Miss Murdoch, you can call me Eric.

The girl let go of Eric's hand and asked solemnly, Then why don't you call me Elizabeth?

Aggressive woman, Eric thought to himself, and said in a hurry: Because we have just met, it is very inappropriate to call a girl's name without permission.

Elizabeth Murdoch raised his chin slightly and looked at Eric: Okay, Eric, I allow you to call me Elizabeth.

Forehead……

Seeing Eric's embarrassed look, Karta Hunt hurriedly said: Eric, Elizabeth is the second daughter of Mr. Rupert Murdoch, and she was an intern at Fox recently. She is very fond of your movie... I'm interested, that's why I want to come and see, I hope you don't mind.

Of course not, Eric said with a smile: Let's go to the lounge, the test film will start at two o'clock, and it will take a while.

A few people walked to the lounge at the end of the corridor together. Elizabeth Murdoch took the initiative to come to Eric's side, and Allen stepped back and followed behind the three of them.
