I’m in Hollywood

Liz, is this necessary? Maybe... I can return the clothes to him... :. In the small yard of Julia's house, the 'girl' looked at the tin bucket used to burn the sundries in front of her eyes. asked flickeringly.

Elizabeth forcefully pulled the shirt out of Julia's hands, stuffed it into the bucket, struck a match, and threw it in. The flame rose briefly, and the pure cotton fabric quickly turned to ashes. The next few plastic buttons are still flickering with unwilling little flames.

Clapping her hands, Elizabeth patted Julia, who was staring at the little flame in the barrel, on the shoulder: Okay, Julia, if you want to completely drive that guy out of your life, this is The process that has to go. Go and pack your bags, I have contacted the 'private' plane, let's go to New York first, if you don't have enough fun, we can also fly to London, Paris.

I think I should communicate with my agent first. I remember that there are still announcements in the past two days...

Hey, you're the top 'female' star in Hollywood now, Julia, not one of those late-breaking little actors who have little freedom in the hands of their managers.

But……

Elizabeth interrupted Julia: No buts! Where is your passport, if you don't want to pack your bags, just bring your passport and credit card, let's go on a trip.

More than an hour later, a Boeing private jet took off at Los Angeles International Airport.

Also taking off is The Island director Jonathan Demme. After Michael Eisner's advice, Eric communicated with Jonathan Demme, and Jonathan Demme flew to Venice, Italy early the next morning. To prepare for the anti-war propaganda of Cry on a Island, although there are still more than two weeks before the Venice Film Festival, Jonathan Demme has no connections in Italy, and everything needs to be 'groped' by himself. , the preparation work is of course the more advanced the more certain.

A few days later, Eric accidentally contacted Kapoor and heard the other party's complaint, only to know that Julia was kidnapped by the tomboy of the Murdoch family. Except for the imagination of some lace edges and the like again, Eric did not think that there would be his own reasons for this. He felt that it would be better for Julia to go out to relax, and the reaction of the 'girl' when she got drunk that night still left a lot of impression on him.

In mid-August, the first two episodes of Friends in charge of Eric were also successfully completed.

After his personal training, the six leading actors of Friends have completely entered the role of role. To take over the filming of the series director Kevin. Bright save a lot of effort.

After the test session,

Within a week, Disney, Paramount, Warner, and other film companies all made their own offers. Michael Eisner was determined to win. Submitted 'submit' his own offer, Cry on the Island and Steel Magnolia 'Flower' both share 35% of the North American box office and 10% of the overseas box office. After seeing this number, Eric instantly generated A feeling of deja vu. And Jeffrey directly pointed out that Disney gave exactly the proportion of the share he enjoyed at Fox by directing the movie himself. And it is completely based on the specifications given by the North American box office of more than 100 million yuan. Otherwise, it is difficult for Disney to get any profit.

If calculated carefully. In fact, this condition is much higher than that given by Fox, because at the beginning, Fox had obtained the video tapes and peripheral management rights of Eric's films at the same time, and Fox could also share a large amount of profits from there, but this time Firefly has clearly stated before that it will not sell the video tapes and peripheral copyrights of several movies such as Frightening Island, and only the distribution rights in North America and overseas.

After Disney, Paramount, which is more eager to get the distribution rights, ranked second in terms of conditions. Warner and others followed, and Columbia didn't even make an offer outright.

To Eric's surprise, it was indeed Fox. On the second day of the audition, Fox sent someone to take the script outline of Sleepless in Seattle. A few days later, Fox's Karta Hunter personally approached Eric and brought Fox hope. A suggestion to replace Sleepless in Seattle for The Island, but no mention of Steel Magnolia 'Flower'.

Obviously, Elizabeth's impromptu plan caught the attention of the 'savvy' Barry Diller, and after evaluating Sleepless in Seattle, Fox was obviously more optimistic about The Island, so he There is such an out.

Eric didn't know what else had happened, but Eric rejected Fox's suggestion directly. Modifying the contract will certainly require a series of negotiations, and it is difficult to determine what will happen during the period. Now that Disney has offered the same price, Eric certainly will not ask for trouble.

After determining that there was no competition, Firefly and Disney soon signed a two-film distribution deal.

Eric, I heard you bought Pixar? Michael Eisner asked at the reception after signing the contract.

Eric swayed the red wine in the glass quietly: Yeah, I'm more interested in cartoons, so I bought it and played it.

It's really... a young man, Michael Eisner didn't know what to think, and shook his head: So, the original cooperation between Pixar and Disney on graphic animation rendering was also cut off by you, right?

Disney has a big business, so do you still care about a little Pixar? As long as Disney says hello, I don't know how many animation companies will be willing to cooperate with you.

Michael Eisner smiled helplessly. Although Disney started with animation, after Michael Eisner took over, he did not pay as much attention to animation as the previous helms. Objections from board members, but those dissenting voices waned as Disney thrived.

But the lack of emphasis on animated films is only relative. Michael Eisner is just more focused on live-action films than his predecessors. It does not mean that Michael Eisner does not pay attention to the status of Disney animated films in Hollywood. Therefore, with Eric's slow rise, his acquisition of Pixar six months ago also attracted the attention of Michael Eisner. More importantly, Michael Eisner heard that Pixar was producing a brand new 3d animation form, which had to cause him to be alarmed. Q
