I’m in Hollywood

Okay, 80 million is 80 million, Eric quickly wanted to understand Murdoch's situation. Although News Corporation was firmly controlled by Murdoch, the Murdoch family only owned 40% of the shares. If Murdoch were to siphon off all the liquidity, as Eric did with Firefly, he would certainly be met with strong opposition from other shareholders.

Eric, withholding $80 million within ten days, I need to give the shareholders a full explanation. If you fail to repay the money before the end of the year, I hope to convert the funds into Firefly shares. What do you think of 10%?

5%, the firefly is worth this price now. Although Eric was sure that he would be able to repay the money within three months, he was not willing to take any chances.

Murdoch immediately shook his head: No, Eric, I can't explain to the shareholders if it is five percent. I heard that you have opened another shell production company...

The two of you went back and forth to negotiate a price, and finally settled on an agreement of 8%.

After confirming the deal, one old and one young man walked out of the study, and Elizabeth's hilarious laughter echoed in the hall from afar.

Liz, do you want to demolish my house with a sonic attack? Eric asked jokingly after finding the two women sitting by the floor-to-ceiling windows.

I want to tear you apart, Elizabeth, who was lying on the couch reading the script, sat up and let her father sit down, while giving Eric a roll of eyes.

Eric walked over to Connery and sat down, asking the girl, What were you laughing at just now?

It's a script, imitating Tom Cruise's Top Gun, but it's really a comedy line, and the plot is very ... jumping. Connelly tilted his head and thought for a while before he came up with a suitable one. adjective.

Eric blurted out with some disdain: It's Top Gun again, how can this movie be so easy to copy, although the original film claimed to cost no more than 20 million US dollars, it was fully supported by the military at that time. In this case. It is a recruitment propaganda film in itself...

While talking, Eric suddenly remembered something and said to Elizabeth, Liz, let me read the script.

Elizabeth handed over the script, and Eric glanced at the English title but didn't recognize it for a while. However, after reading a few pages, I quickly remembered this movie.

The script in his hand is the famous American nonsensical comedy Condor. In my memory, this movie was starring Charlie Sheen, the hero of Two and a Half Men.

The movie is enough to conceive a main line similar to Top Gun, but the content is spoofed to the extreme. It not only imitates many classic Hollywood films, but also contains a lot of mockery of famous political figures and events in recent years.

In the early 1990s, most of Hollywood's comedies were still pretty standard, so when a spoof like Rival Condor appeared, it immediately caused a sensation.

Noticing the change in Eric's expression after seeing the script, Murdoch, who didn't care too much, became curious and asked in a low voice. Elizabeth leaned over to her father and said, It's Fox's script.

Hear this. The old fox immediately relaxed, poured himself a cup of coffee and waited patiently for Eric to open the script.

Eric. I saw this script first, right? Elizabeth said immediately when Eric looked up.

Eric handed the script to Connery next to him, and then said to Elizabeth: The script has been approved. Are you going to dig Fox's corner?

Hmph, of course I wouldn't do this, but don't forget what you said just now. Let me pick a script. I know you own 30% of the investment share, give it to me.

Eric directly threw the girl a 'did I just say something' look. Elizabeth almost jumped up in anger.

After lunch, the Murdochs were sent off. Eric starts to go to Firefly HQ to prepare for the night premiere of Ghosts.

Regarding Fighting Condor, Elizabeth then robbed Eric a few words, and then gave up asking for Eric's right to invest. Although the girl has some temperaments, she is very shrewd and rational in major matters and will not make trouble without reason.

There are two female characters in Fighting Condor, one is a psychoanalyst, who is regarded as the female No. 1, and the other is a female pilot nicknamed 'Underwear'. Among the many strong men, this The role is still eye-catching, but there are not many lines. Although Connery was not very satisfied with both roles, Eric had already chosen the script, and the girl obediently chose the role of the female lead.

The North American release of Ghost Love is a huge success, with 2,300 theaters opened, and a grand premiere at the Chinese Grand Theater in Hollywood.

It was not yet six o'clock in the afternoon, and stars began to appear on the long red carpet in front of the Chinese Grand Theater. The premiere of is obviously more star-studded. In addition to the stars invited by Disney and Firefly, the families of the hero and heroine of Human Ghost are also exerting their efforts. The connections of the two major families add up, enough to encircle half of Hollywood.

Wow, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro are here.

It would be amazing if Jack Nicholson and Dustin Hoffman came back.

It's not easy, it would be nice to have two.

...

Look, Jodie Foster!

It's still so beautiful, it's a pity, I heard that she has become gay.

It's just a rumor.

Hinkley's incident stimulated her a lot back then. If it were me, I would have changed my sexuality.

...

That's James Cameron. I heard that Terminator 2 has already started. I'm looking forward to it. Is the woman beside him his wife?

So beautiful, and very temperamental, I guess he is an actor.

...

Xue'er, why is she here too?

She worked with Nicholas Cage on Moonlight Sultry three years ago, and I heard that the two are good friends.

I still prefer her singing.

...

...

Almost every few minutes on the red carpet, a star figure who surprised the fans appeared, causing bursts of screams and discussions.

There were originally only a few hundred fans on both sides of the red carpet, but in less than half an hour, the fans who arrived after hearing the news had already crowded the entire street, and many even attended the premiere of Die Hard 2. Fans rushed over, making Fox extremely embarrassed but helpless.

As a director, Eric didn't even have time to appear on the red carpet, so he had to start entertaining the many guests who came to join in. It is estimated that at this time, those fans who have been dazzled by the stars will not care about him as a director. Have you ever appeared on the red carpet?

Eric, I went to see the preview on purpose. This movie is very well done, especially the echoes of the first and last two pieces of music, which directly elevate the theme of the movie to the extreme. Francis Coppola, who came, patted Eric on the shoulder and praised.

Eric looked at Cage, who was standing quietly beside Coppola, and said, Nick's performance was far beyond my expectations. Maybe in the near future, there will be an Oscar winner in the Coppola family.

Haha, that's for sure, Coppola said proudly. Westerners don't have many habits of modesty.

After Eric greeted Coppola's uncle and nephew, he quickly walked through the crowd to greet him. He turned around and was about to find a corner to rest against the wall for a while when he felt a pair of big hands on his shoulders and turned his head. See the aggressive James Cameron and the meaningful smile Kathryn Bigelow.

Jim, Kate, how are you, thank you for coming over, Eric greeted quickly

James Cameron did not have the polite smile on the red carpet, and asked with a sullen face: Eric, what about the money, Terminator 2 has started casting, but the finance of Black Ant told me The company has no money, which gave me the deposit to sign a contract with the union, and, Stan told me, you suddenly took all the liquidity in the digital space.

Isn't there still hundreds of thousands? Eric asked subconsciously.

Cameron had the urge to pinch Eric's neck: What can you do with hundreds of thousands, tell me!

Okay okay, Jim, don't worry, a month, I need that money for a month, and after a month you can have as much as you want?

Cameron just wanted to ask what to do this month, but when he heard the meaning of Eric's words, he immediately changed his mind: I want to increase the budget, at least... at least an additional 20 million.

No problem, Eric nodded readily, seeing that Cameron was about to speak again, and immediately said, No more.

Well, what about this month? Cameron asked.

Eric said: The casting thing is slow, you can go to Stan and figure out how to realize the liquid robot. Last time I heard that they developed a deformation software for this. By the way, Kate, Thriller Point may have to step back a little too.

I'm fine, Kathryn Bigelow laughed. Anyway, if you drag it on, the movie can only be put on next year's Easter schedule at the earliest. It's you who will lose.

Kate is still reasonable, Jim, you have to study hard with your wife, Eric teased without a trace, and the woman immediately glared at him.

Because too many stars attended the premiere, the ceremony started twenty minutes later than expected.

Eric sat in his seat and just watched a movie for a while, but found that Michael Eisner called Coppola away from his side, sat down beside him, and said, Eric, I heard that you need to Money? (To be continued)
