Another morning, in Eric's room, Elizabeth sat on a chair by the small wooden table and asked Eric who was brushing his teeth in the bathroom.

I'm the director, the master of the entire crew, like the alpha wolf among the wolves, Eric rinsed his mouth and wiped the foam from his mouth, and continued: If I make a mistake, it doesn't mean that All of you are wrong.

Hmph, you can really quibble. Elizabeth curled her lips in dissatisfaction. Seeing Eric walking out, the girl pointed to the breakfast on the tray in front of her and said, Hey, here it is.

Eric was not polite, he pulled the tray directly in front of him and ate it quickly. He knew that Elizabeth must have eaten it. According to the girl herself, she was on a diet. During this time, she only ate an apple and a glass of milk for breakfast. However, in Eric's view, it must be because Elizabeth couldn't stand the sanitary conditions here and couldn't find a place to make breakfast, so she had to keep things simple, and the girl ate very little of the other two meals.

Looking at Eric who started to devour, the girl reluctantly picked up the document in front of her, read today's shooting schedule and other things to Eric, and reminded Eric of some things that Eric needed to spend extra time on. . These were originally Allen's work, but since Elizabeth had to come together, Eric naturally assigned this part of the work to her, and at the same time, it could also be eye-catching every morning. Although she also realized Eric's 'dirty' thoughts, Elizabeth did not refuse.

Right. I think you must read this paper.

What, Eric put down the glass and took the newspaper.

This is a copy of The Seattle Times. One of the largest circulation newspapers in Washington state.

Of course, that's not Eric's concern. At this time, he was paying attention to the front page headlines of the newspapers.

Sony's $5.5 Billion Acquisition of Columbia Pictures.

Although I have long known that Sony may complete the acquisition in September, and I have also worried about the future share payment of Dark War after the Japanese acquisition of Colombia, Eric cannot always take this matter to heart.

After carefully reading the article, Eric breathed a sigh of relief, put the newspaper aside and continued to eat breakfast. He saw a message from this article that the Japanese, under pressure from public opinion, made a public statement that Sony would not participate in the management of Columbia Pictures.

The company is still managed by the American management team, and Sony remains only an investor. Since nothing will change, presumably there will be no twists and turns in the future share of Dark War.

Elizabeth stared at Eric for a while before she couldn't help asking, Are you feeling pretty proud now?

Eric swallowed the food in his mouth, raised his head and asked in confusion, What can I be proud of?

Oh, I didn't expect you to be humble enough. The girl curled her lips: Or maybe you didn't read carefully, the analysis in the fourth paragraph of the article, because the two movies Home Alone and Dark War have been pushed up one after another. For the stock price of Columbia, the Japanese paid at least $700 million more, which is $700 million. Isn’t that enough to make you proud?”

Eric shrugged: Of course I'm proud, but it's not enough to make me jump up with joy. After all, the Japanese didn't hit me with the 700 million dollars.

What about Dark War. I heard about the content of the contract. Firefly didn't invest a penny, but it made more than half of the box office profits.

Why do you look at me with a look that I took advantage of? Although I took more than half of the profits, Columbia also made money. Speaking of which, Eric pretended to be angry again: And You just said that the Japanese paid an extra 700 million US dollars for this, so I am still at a loss. On average, I made an extra 350 million yuan for Colombian shareholders. They refused to give me a penny.”

The girl was so startled by Eric's divine logic that she opened her mouth slightly and said after a while, You really...

Okay. These are not your worries now, Eric finished his breakfast. Taking out a napkin and wiping his mouth, he said, The most important thing now is that we make this movie well.

When you said that, I remembered something again, the girl raised her head and looked at Eric who went to the cabinet to pick up the clothes: I've also read the script these days, and I think this movie is very… …Strange.

Very weird? Eric turned his head and glanced at the girl.

Elizabeth nodded: Yeah, don't you think that two people who don't know each other, one starts to worry about each other before they see each other, and the other looks like a long-lost reunion when they see each other for the first time. It seems too far-fetched.

I don't think so, Eric said, wearing his coat, Liz, have you heard of... fate?

? The girl repeated the phrase Eric translated after pondering for a while, then shook her head and said, I don't think it's possible. How can there be a relationship in this world?

Everything has already happened, and the things that can't be changed are destined, which is the so-called fate. Just like me and you, me and Jenny, me and Drew, me and Vicky...

Elizabeth rolled her eyes: Listening to you, why do I have the urge to beat you up. Also, don't put me next to other women, okay?

Eric smiled: Okay, just kidding. In fact, in the far east, there is a very romantic point of view, called looking back five hundred times in past lives, in exchange for one pass in this life.

What do you mean? Elizabeth asked.

It's too long to say, Eric looked at his watch and said, Everyone must have already set off, let's go too, we'll talk about it on the way.

This small hotel is less than a kilometer away from the seaside hut where the crew was filming, so everyone on the crew walked there.

After greeting others and walking side by side on the street, Elizabeth said, Go on?

Eric nodded and said, There is a view in Eastern Buddhism that life will not be annihilated, and their souls will reincarnate over and over again, so they have past and present lives. So, if you think about it, you should understand, right?

Five hundred times of looking back at the past life, in exchange for one pass in this life, Elizabeth repeated this sentence murmured, then looked at Eric and said, Isn't that... too tired?
