I’m in Hollywood

The two women walked through the hall of the villa and quickly found Eric's figure. The last rays of the sunset slanted through the glass curtain wall and hit him. Surrounded by light and shadow, Eric lowered his head and read it carefully. With a quiet and calm charming temperament. Elizabeth and Julia slowed down in unison, not wanting to break the picture, but the empty hall amplifies the knocking sound of the two women's high heels.

Eric heard the sound of the high heels tapping the floor, raised his head, saw the figures of the two women, and smiled: I was just thinking about how to make do with dinner, so come here.

Heh, what do you think of us, your dinner? Elizabeth pulled Julia up, and together they shrunk into the space chair opposite Eric. The two women are very slim, and they don't look crowded at all when leaning against the somewhat large egg-shaped space chair.

Eric looked at the two women who were shaking gently in the space chair opposite, still smiling, and said, I mean someone has come to cook for me, but you have to cook my dinner yourself, I don't mind, It's delicious.

This sentence sounded almost like flirting. Julia's face turned slightly red, but Elizabeth snorted softly and said, Did you know that you just sat in the corner by yourself, very It's like the big villain who hides behind the scenes in a movie and plots against the protagonist.

Yeah, this kind of big villain is usually surrounded by a few enchanting beauties. Once the two of you come over, the picture will be complete.

Julia couldn't help laughing softly. Elizabeth and Eric were always like a cat in a state of frizz when they got along with Eric, as if they instinctively wanted to fight with Eric. But never get any bargain.

Hey. Where are you? Elizabeth heard Julia's laughter, and couldn't help pinching her hand around her waist.

Julia smiled and pushed away Elizabeth's little hand: What's the matter with me, I can't laugh anymore.

Eric looked at how the two women were quickly scratching together, and with a smile on his lips, he lowered his head and checked it over. He took out a few sheets from the thick stack of documents in front of him and handed them over: Hey, here it is.

Elizabeth actually noticed what Eric was reading when she arrived. Although she just glanced at it casually, she was sure that this was a copy of the contract between Firefly and Columbia. Seeing that Eric took the initiative to hand it over, he quickly stopped fighting with Julia and took it with a smile, but his eyes were not satisfied with the folder on Eric's knee, where there were still dozens of pages.

Eric stretched out his hand and pressed the remaining information, shook his head and said, You can't read these.

It's so stingy,

Elizabeth pursed her lips and complained, but obediently backed away.

When Elizabeth sat down beside her, Julia leaned over curiously to read a few lines, but quickly lost interest in the dense letters. Raising his head, he noticed that Eric, who was opposite him, was just looking at him. Julia dodged her eyes a few times in a panic, and finally she timidly greeted her, with some unknown expectations in her heart.

You've been lazy for a year, Kapoor must be mad? Eric asked softly, turning the pencil in his hand.

How can I be self-willed, I have been taking care of Emma. And Kapoor has so many big names in his hand now, and he doesn't care about me, Julia distinguished, but there was no confidence in her tone. From the establishment of tg to the present, Although there are not many films made, they are all extremely successful. Julia also received dividends several times higher than her salary with 30% of the tg equity in her hand. In comparison, Julia's enthusiasm for acting has also been weakened a lot.

Eric didn't seem to hear Julia's distinction. With a pencil in his hand, he tapped the blue plastic crust of the folder lightly, and said, It's been so long since 'Pretty Woman', you can pick up the romantic comedy again. For this subject, I will take the time to let someone choose a script for you.

Julia obediently hummed, and Elizabeth, who had quickly read through the thin pages in front of her, heard Eric's words and couldn't help but said, How can you be so domineering and don't ask Julia if she wants to? willing.

Eric glanced at her lightly, with an obvious expression saying, did you know me on the first day?

Elizabeth turned her head to look at Julia, hoping that she could resist Eric's 'atrocities' with herself, but seeing Julia's low-browsed and pleasing little daughter-in-law, her heart suddenly let out a burst of anger. I don't care if I'm angry, what else do I have to worry about?

Hey, this, what's going on? Elizabeth raised the few pages of contract fragments in her hand and turned the topic to the purpose of her trip.

Eric said: As you can see, cooperating to develop a movie, everyone wins and everyone is happy.

I don't believe your nonsense, Elizabeth said: Although this contract is a bit harsh for Colombia, if it is released, with the fame accumulated by Firefly, even if it is a harsher condition, some people will come together. Humph, there must be an inside story here.

Elizabeth said, and her small eyes glanced at the documents that Eric was pressing on her knees. There must be the answers she wanted. Although she was asked by her father to come to check the situation, but at this time, Elizabeth herself also had a strong curiosity. Although some of the terms she saw stated that the cooperation was very unfavorable to Colombia, if the films produced by the two parties can maintain the consistent box office level of Firefly, then Colombia will definitely not suffer, and Colombia's parent company Sony Pictures can also rely on this. Open up in Hollywood.

From this point of view, fireflies are simply giving people a pillow to sleep.

You said it was an insider, of course you can't talk about it everywhere.

Hearing Eric admitting that there was an inside story, Elizabeth's curiosity increased again, staring at the remaining documents in Eric's hand, thinking that if he suddenly went up to snatch it, Eric would fry her until it was ripe ...

Eric watched with interest Elizabeth's small appearance, and deliberately pushed the document in her direction, taking the initiative to 'create' the conditions for Elizabeth to be like a piebald snake from the Garden of Eden.

Elizabeth's eyes flashed quickly, and she inadvertently saw Eric's gaze. Immediately vented.

Eric laughed and got up and walked over. Take the part of the contract in Elizabeth's hand and put it in the folder. He patted the girl's face, as if he was comforting an under-fed kitten: Okay, there are ingredients in the kitchen, let's make dinner. If you don't want to do it, you can call for takeout. I'll go to the study and make a few calls.

Elizabeth shook her head a few times, trying to shake Eric's abominable palm away, and Eric's eyes flashed. But sliding down the girl's face, Elizabeth quickly pressed her chest and exclaimed, Ah, pervert, what are you doing? Julia... Julia is here.

Julia's eyes widened as Eric's hand slipped into Elizabeth's collar and seemed to be still rubbing.

But soon, the big hand was pulled out, holding a soft cushion in his hand, Elizabeth's face suddenly became red as blood, and Julia was stunned. Puchi burst out laughing.

What did I say is a little bigger, it's really disappointing. Eric sighed, the old god said in the ground.

You bastard, Elizabeth snatched the thing frantically and cursed bitterly, only to see Eric walking towards the study on his own.

Watching Eric's figure disappear, Julia turned her head to look at Elizabeth, her mouth still smiling: Hey, are we... going to make dinner?

No, Elizabeth said bitterly, but quickly added, Order takeout.

whee……

Don't laugh, Elizabeth said frantically.

Julia's laughter grew even louder, clutching her stomach and saying, Yes...haha...I'm sorry, I can't help it.

There's nothing to be proud of, you don't beat me much.

Julia didn't change her smile, and proudly supported her plump breasts: It's bigger than you anyway.

You bastard, Elizabeth rushed over, I'll pinch it for you.

Ah... let go, it hurts, you really come, I don't laugh anymore, I don't laugh anymore, aha, help.

...

The sudden cooperation between Firefly and Columbia caused a lot of waves in Hollywood. In the next week, the media in North America focused on this matter, and the attention of the cooperation between the two parties even surpassed that in the end of March. The 64th Academy Awards.

The list of nominations for the 64th Academy Awards was announced on February 19. No surprise, Dancing With Wolves, which was cut by Eric for a year, became a big winner, winning awards including Best Picture and Best Director. 12 nominations. Not only that, since December last year, Dancing With Wolves has been released for more than 10 weeks, but the weekly box office figures have remained at a height of about 7 million, and the total box office has also exceeded 100 million US dollars. The word of mouth of Dance will definitely usher in another box office rebound before and after the Oscars. Then, it is almost no suspense that the total box office of this film exceeds 150 million, and it is not impossible to even reach 200 million US dollars.

Even Eric himself did not expect the amazing results of Dancing With Wolves. He only remembered that the film would be a big winner at the Oscars, but compared to the terrifying four-hour set, Eric didn't feel that at first. What will this film do at the box office, but according to normal management, it is expected that after the film wins the Oscar, it will gain some gains in the video tape market. Therefore, Eric did not care about this film until last year. The distribution rights were handed over to Fox, and only the film copyright and peripheral distribution rights were retained.

In the current situation, Fox must be making crazy money, Eric is a little depressed, and even more depressed, it must be the producer and Orion Films who sold the film for $30 million last year.

Orion Pictures has gone through bankruptcy and reorganization, and has started the production business again. Noticing the amazing results of Dancing With Wolves, a person in charge of Orion publicly denounced Firefly in a magazine for being extremely despicable. Kevin Costner, the director and actor who also invested in Dancing with Wolves, although he did not show much slack in participating in the film’s public relations, he also knew that he Giving up a large amount of profit, according to the profit of Dancing With Wolves, Kevin Costner, who accounted for 15% of the total investment, only received 4.5 million US dollars from the selling price last year. If he participates in the split, he will receive more than $10 million in benefits. This loss of profit was enough to make him want to hit a wall with regret.

However, Hollywood is like this, realistic and cruel, but full of opportunities, and no one knows what will happen next. Just like Warner's first Batman, because there were not too many expectations for this movie beforehand, in order to save money, Warner wisely signed a share of the salary with Jack Nicholson, who played the supporting role of the Joker. As a result, Batman was a huge box office hit, and because of that share agreement, Warners successively paid Jack Nicholson up to $50 million in revenue, which was more than the sum of the remunerations of the film's leading actors and actresses and the director. many.

The cooperation agreement between Firefly and Colombia is not particularly confidential. In less than a week, the executives of other Hollywood film companies knew the general content of the agreement. This cooperation agreement basically puts Colombia in the status of an external investor. But even so, it is enough to make other film companies jealous. After all, ordinary external investors will definitely lose money and make money when they invest in movies, and they often lose money more often, and make money very rarely. Films produced over the years have hardly failed. Hollywood also doesn’t believe that Firefly will deliberately make bad films in order to pit Colombia, so Colombia’s profits must be guaranteed.

Although it can be guessed that there must be other ulterior transactions behind this agreement, several other film companies have invariably tried to contact Firefly, even if they have a similar cooperation agreement, they also expressed their willingness.

As for Sony, after the preliminary cooperation negotiation between the two parties was reached, the Sony headquarters also expressed great concern for this cooperation, and even complacently announced the news on the local Japanese media.

Hello, Mr. Dahe, Eric shook hands with the Asian man in his early 60s, and at the same time looked at each other without a trace. He didn't expect that Sony paid more attention to the cooperation between the two parties than he thought. So much that Sony's current president, Dianxiong Ohga, went to New York in person to attend the signing ceremony.

Dianxiong Ohga was also looking at Eric on the opposite side. Although he had already read Eric's information, he was still a little surprised by the youngness of the firefly owner when he saw Eric himself. (To be continued..)
