I’m in Hollywood

What's more, in the contract signed by Disney and Bruce Joy Robin, there is also the clause that Eric must be the director of the film himself. If the designated directors can come up with a plan that satisfies him, Michael. Eisner didn't mind the breach of contract and forced Disney's director to take over the script, but it backfired, so Michael Eisner made today's decision decisively. After all, if Disney forced its own production, the final results were mediocre. It would be better to hand over the script to Eric for production. After all, Eric still has a very strong box office guarantee.

After sitting in the study for a long time, Michael Eisner took out the planning documents in the folder, and threw them into the trash can next to him before getting up and leaving the room.

...

In mid-March, after more than a month of investigation, the Federal Trade Investigation Commission announced the results of its handling of Firefly and Uta's suspected industry monopoly. Because of the loss of several major companies behind the push, coupled with a series of public opinion pressures, the federal trade The investigation committee did not impose a heavy punishment on Eric. In addition to requiring Eric to sell all the shares in uta in his hand, it is a very symbolic fine of $1 million.

After the results were released, Eric did not raise any objections, paid a fine of 10 million US dollars, and then sold 90% of uta's shares to one of the three major Hollywood brokerage companies at a price of 30 million US dollars.

Almost at the same time, Sony Pictures and Firefly also reached a settlement on the project sharing of Dark War.

A week later, Sony divided the more than 88 million US dollars of Dark War into all settlements. As for the other three lawsuits against Eric, in addition to the withdrawal of the lawsuits by the prosecutors of the two lawsuits, the other lawsuit about the Malibu Sharp Corner Lot was also dismissed due to insufficient evidence as the investigation progressed. .

Firefly and Fox's TV series The X-Files also began the filming process. Another program, Who Will Be a Millionaire, has been promoted with great momentum since the beginning of March, although some people in charge of this program suggested it. In the first episode of the show, some celebrities could be invited as answering guests, but this proposal was directly rejected by Eric. Inviting stars can certainly attract some eyeballs, but in that case, it will also make the show lose its sense of authenticity. After all, the selling point of this show is that grassroots get rich overnight. Therefore, the show team still adopts the method of national audition, and has set up registration points all over North America.

Next, Disney soon announced. Will cooperate with Firefly to release Eric Williams' new film The Ghost Story.

So far, the more than two-month-long turmoil against Eric and against Fireflies that began on the first day of the new year has completely vanished.

After a series of awards season prelude awards, on March 26, 1990, the 62nd Academy Awards ceremony was held at the Los Angeles Music Center.

Eric fastened the buttons of his dress and just got out of the courtesy car, there were enthusiastic shouts from both sides of the red carpet, and Eric could faintly hear someone singing the song new- hoarsely.

Smiling and waving to the crowd all the way, Eric didn't stop by himself. All the way to the red carpet shot, the reporters in the interview area were of course extremely disappointed, and. What disappointed them even more was that Eric still didn't bring any female companions today, which reduced a lot of topics.

After all, although Eric is still very young now, his status and wealth are there. Since he broke up with Aniston, who is likely to live in Eric's 'Liberty City' in the sharp corner of Malibu, It has become the target that many gossip media are keen to pursue.

If anyone could snoop on this kind of news, it would surely be a good price now.

When the end of the red carpet is about to be reached. Eric was stopped by the TV host in charge of the Oscar broadcast, and politely invited Eric to the interview area.

Mr. Williams. Hello, second time on the Oscars red carpet. Does it feel any different? asked the hostess in a black dress, holding the microphone.

Eric said with a smile: Of course, the fans have become more enthusiastic, and I would like to thank everyone for their support during this time.

The hostess heard what Eric was referring to and did not continue. After all, in the turmoil some time ago, it was not clear: Then Mr. Williams, tell me your expectations for tonight's awards, you not only It's amazing to have two nominations for Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay, and an unexpected nomination for Best Score.

Hearing this question, Eric approached the microphone and repeated the cliché that everyone would say, such as whether the judges like it or not, and then Eric patiently answered a few questions before the host. Reluctantly let him go.

As soon as he walked to the waiting area, Eric felt countless eyes cast on him. Eric smiled at everyone without focus, and then walked towards several film crews related to Firefly.

The men in the crew were all right. Jonathan Demme, Al Pacino, Tom Hanks and others all came to say hello enthusiastically, but the women were a little reserved. After all, this place can still be filmed by the media. arrived.

Eric greeted several big men before looking at the women.

Virginia stood quietly at the edge of the crowd, with a faint smile on her face, a look of indifference to the world.

Nicole looked eager to try, but she estimated what it was, so she stood there without doing anything, just looked at Eric with some emotion in her eyes.

As for Julia, she was holding Elizabeth intimately at this time, and the two girls looked at Eric with inexplicably complicated emotions in their eyes.

After thinking about it, Eric still walked towards Julia and Elizabeth: Julie, Liz, that... Although it may be a little late now, I still want to say sorry.

Hearing Eric's words, Julia took Elizabeth's arm a little tighter and shrank back. Elizabeth stepped forward like a little hen protecting her son, and said in a low voice, William Mr. Si, there is no need to apologize, I just hope you can stay away from us in the future, Julia and I are very grateful.

This... Of course there's no problem, Eric couldn't help but raised his hand and touched his nose with his index finger. Looking at the current appearance of the two girls, he always felt a little strange, but he didn't know where the blame was. But he can be sure that his feeling is absolutely right: By the way, Liz, why are you here? Eric asked again without a word.

Hmph, of course I have my own way, Elizabeth said, pulling Julia, who had not spoken, to go straight away.

Others thought that Eric was deflated in front of the two girls, and they all showed a mocking look. Eric shrugged indifferently, said hello to Nicole, and walked to Virginie in the disappointed eyes of the girls. beside Ya.

Vicky, I'm sorry, I wasn't able to go to the premiere of Reservoir Dogs at the beginning of the month. Walking to the girl, Eric said affectionately with a little apologetic tone, as the genius Quentin's debut. , Because of Eric's support, this version of Reservoir Dogs is not only not like the previous life, but it is not popular in North America because there is not much publicity.

This version of Reservoir Dogs not only won the Special Jury Award at the Sundance Film Festival in January because of its unique narrative style, but also had 500 opening screens in North America and held a small At the small premiere, because of her brother's role in it, Virginia went to join in and invited Eric casually. However, although the storm was coming to an end, Eric still couldn't tell the difference. Energy to attend the premiere of Reservoir Dogs.

After the promotion of Firefly, the box office of Reservoir Dogs reached more than 6 million in the first week. Quentin Tarantino also jumped into the ranks of first-line directors because the weekly box office of the film exceeded 10,000 US dollars. He is currently thinking about himself. The next script, of course, the investor is still Firefly, but Eric doesn't know if Quentin can write Pulp Fiction again. After all, because of Eric's butterfly effect, although Reservoir Dogs was not fanned away by the wings of the butterfly, Pulp Fiction hung a lot. Eric also made up his mind to talk to Quentin when he had time. If Quentin didn't have this idea, he would come up with the script himself.

It's okay, I regret it later. You must have a lot of things to do. How can you take time to attend the premiere. By the way, Eric, my brother asked me to thank you for him, Virginie Ya said softly.

Eric smiled and said in his heart that Michael Madsen would never say such a thing, 80% of which was the girl's own intention. He has also paid attention to the situation of Reservoir Dogs during this period of time. After the release of Reservoir Dogs, Michael Madsen, for the promotion of the film, was interviewed by the crew on a talk show, and expressed that he really didn't want to work with Quentin anymore, and he also In front of several other creators, he called Quentin Tarantino a bastard on the spot. When filming the scene of killing the kidnapped police officer, because of some lines, Michael Madsen thought of his newborn child, almost collapse.

However, Quentin also said on the spot that he likes the evaluation of a bastard very much, and no one knows whether it is a joke or not.

Because there were too many people, it was impossible for Eric to make any intimate gestures. After chatting with Virginia for a while, the crowd began to enter the Los Angeles Concert Hall.

It's a coincidence, we sat together last time, Eric said after entering the hall of the concert hall to find a seat and sitting down, looking at Virginia beside him. (To be continued)
