Accompanying Eric to socialize around the venue, Edgar Bronfman and Michael Eisner separated from him and walked to the other side of the party hall, looking at Eric who was still surrounded by a group of people, feeling He was obviously deserted by his side. Although Edgar Bronfman knew that he would not be able to catch up with Firefly in a short time, he was also very unwilling, and said to Michael Eisner next to him: Michael, after paying the relevant acquisition payments, Seagram Group has about $1.5 billion in cash left, in which direction do you think we should expand next?

Seagram Group's acquisition of ma was mainly funded by the $9 billion from the sale of DuPont's stake, and after paying Panasonic $7.5 billion, there was $1.5 billion in cash left.

Edgar Bronfman didn't plan to invest the money in Hollywood immediately, but seeing Eric's glorious appearance, Edgar Bronfman, while envious and unwilling, inevitably gave birth to a feeling of jealousy. Want to quickly expand the mind of the Hollywood industry.

Michael Eisner could feel Edgar Bronfman's mood, and he was not the same. He heard the words and said: Edgar, you know the Blue Sky Studio that Fox and Firefly recently jointly acquired, and Firefly has already Owning two animation studios, Pixar and Disney, but spared no effort to support animation companies outside Firefly, and last year, Viacom spent a lot of money to acquire Disney's hand-drawn animation team from Firefly, all of which can be seen from the animation film. Prospects, I think, we should first establish Universal's animation division.

Edgar Bronfman nodded and said, Do you have a detailed plan then?

We can imitate the blue sky studio they built this time, and also acquire a special effects studio with a relatively good foundation. G special effects and 3D animation have many aspects in common. Then we can dig some skilled professionals from the two studios under Firefly. The animators are coming. Although Pixar and Disney are very well paid, as long as we are willing to pay high prices and give heavy responsibilities, we will definitely be able to dig some key talents.” Michael Eisner has thought about this matter for a long time, but this The plan would cost a lot of money, and Panasonic wouldn't spend it at all in the first two years.

Thinking of these, Michael Eisner added: However. Edgar, I need to state in advance that animated films are not that easy to do. We may need to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in the early stage, and I can't guarantee the first An animated film can be a big success, it takes enough accumulation.

Edgar Bronfman still does not lack long-term development vision. Since most of Hollywood has made great efforts to develop animated films, Universal must not turn a blind eye if it wants to become bigger and stronger. Nodding: Funding is not a problem, you can prepare a plan as soon as possible.

Eric, surrounded by the crowd, had no idea what Edgar Bronfman and Michael Eisner were discussing. Even if he knew, he wasn't too worried.

There are many factors needed for a 3D animated film to be successful.

Creativity, technology, team, funds, and time are all indispensable. After the great success of Pixar's Toy Story in the previous life, several other major film companies have tried the production of 3D animated films, but outside Disney, for more than ten years, It is really reluctant to be considered a success, but only Blue Sky Studio is the only one.

The long production cycle and high production costs of animated films are important factors that limit the development of this business by other studios. Even Time Warner silently gave up after trying to invest in several animated films to no avail.

Fox was inspired by Toy Story a few years ago to set up his own animation department, and Elizabeth specifically mentioned it to Eric.

After the Blue Sky Studio transaction was completed, Elizabeth also suggested that the Fox animation team be merged into the Blue Sky Studio. Eric did not object at first, but after watching the animated film clip called Frozen Planet produced by the Fox animation department, I completely gave up on this idea.

Frozen Planet has nothing to do with Ice Age. It tells the story of a space military academy that was attacked by alien forces after the nuclear war and human beings entered the space age. The idea is good, but the level of the animators is really appalling. In Eric's opinion, those few completed animation clips are not even as good as Disney's TV animation. Hearing Eric's comments, Elizabeth simply disbanded the entire animation department. Of course, the millions of dollars that have been spent on this must have been wasted.

Holding a glass of red wine in his hand, he patiently responded to the overly enthusiastic guests around him. At this time, Eric also realized that his appearance was very unkind to steal the scenery that should belong to the host of this party.

Firefly's Burbank headquarters is only two kilometers away from Universal Studios. Eric discussed project production issues with the Matrix team at Firefly's headquarters until more than seven o'clock in the evening. When he left, he remembered Eddie a few days ago. At the invitation of Jia Bronfman's personal phone call, he temporarily planned to come over to join in the fun, but he didn't expect this to happen.

After more than ten minutes, the guests around him gradually dispersed.

Diane Kruger waited patiently until now, seeing the big people beside Eric finally leaving, took a deep breath, tried her best to show a good-looking smile, picked up the corner of her skirt and walked over.

However, when Diane Kruger made this move, the other four 'mermaids' cruising in the party surrounded Eric at almost the same time. They are now in a high position, but they are all held by Eric himself. There were too many people just now, and they were too weak to squeeze in. At this time, of course, they had to go up and say hello as soon as possible.

Looking at the five most dazzling beauties in the venue, hugging and kissing Eric in turn, while envious, some ordinary guests who thought it was their turn to come forward and have a familiar face took the initiative to stop. Helplessly continue to wait.

Hey Eric, good evening.

Linda, your outfit is so pretty tonight.

Cindy, your black dress is great too.

Oh, and Christy...

Cindy Crawford and Eric after hugging. He smiled and said, Eric. Why do you only praise our clothes. Aren't our people beautiful?

Of course not, you are the perfect body I personally selected, Eric said with a smile on his lips, chatting with beautiful women, which is much more comfortable than being surrounded by a group of big men.

After saying hello to Linda Evangelinsta, Cindy Crawford, Christy Turrington and Tyra Banks, I looked at Diane Kerr, who seemed to be a little nervous standing outside the four. Ruger stretched out his hand and said, Diane. What's the matter, don't you give me a hug?

Diane Kruger hurriedly stepped forward and hugged intimately, the girl realized that although Eric's attitude towards them had not cooled down, if it was just that, then she would be no different from the other four girls. In a short moment, Diane Kruger made a bold decision. Just as Eric released her waist support, she turned to the side. Reached out and grabbed Eric's arm.

During the production process of the Victoria's Secret show, Cindy Kruger felt Eric's special treatment for Diane Kruger. Seeing Diane Kruger's intimate actions at this time, there was no unexpected expression, but Eric raised his eyebrows without a trace.

Although she knew that she could not achieve Diane Kruger's intimacy with Eric, Cindy Crawford looked at Diane Kruger's actions, still a little unwilling, looking at Eric He pretended to be unintentional and said, Eric, why did you come here alone?

Eric just wanted to join the party on a temporary basis. He originally wanted to bring the female assistant over, but Kelly had to rush back to have dinner with his daughter, so he had to come by himself.

I thought I would run into my own woman at the party, like Nicole. Because of the cooperation of The Mummy, Nicole and Universal have a relatively close relationship, and it is impossible not to join in on this occasion. It's just that Eric was a little miscalculated. Nicole had already attended a few days ago. It is impossible to come to every party, and of course he didn't come today. Aside from Nicole, Eric just looked around for a week and couldn't find any other women.

However, these must not be clearly said to Cindy Crawford. Eric reached out and hugged Diane Kruger, who was holding his arm, and smiled: This is not my girlfriend. ?

Cindy Crawford was bold, and reached out to hold Eric's other arm: In that case, I'll be your girlfriend too.

Eric blinked his eyes with a bad expression, and said with a smile: Okay, the five of you will be fine together.

This obviously pun-meaning remark made the women's faces show a little anger, but they didn't walk away.

In the party crowd, Hasbro's eo Alan Hasenfield never took the initiative to say hello and waited patiently. However, after seeing Eric and Diane Kruger's intimate actions, he gradually understood something.

The uncertain thoughts turned for a while, and Alan Hasenfield changed a cup from the waiter tray and walked towards Eric.

The girls who were originally beside Eric saw someone approaching so ignorantly. Although they were not happy, they took the initiative to give way to the side. Diane Kruger saw Ellen Hasenfield approaching. Holding Eric's arm tightly.

Ellen Hasenfield nodded slightly to Diane Kruger, stretched out his hand to Eric, and said, Hello, Mr. Williams.

Hello, Mr. Hasenfield, Eric reached out and shook hands.

Alan Hasenfield heard Eric blurt out his surname. Although he had expected it, he was still very surprised, and said, Mr. Williams, do you know me?

Eric smiled and said, I don't have the habit of pretending that I don't know someone.

Alan Hasenfield laughed a few times, but he was thinking quickly in his mind. Eric Williams knew himself, so nine out of ten the rumors were true.

Recalling the small gestures Edgar Bronfman and Michael Eisner made just now, Ellen Hasenfield turned to Diane Kruger and said, Miss Kruger, I'm so sorry, I didn't know about you and William just now. When Edgar and Michael introduced me to Mr. James, I thought you were single.

Diane Kruger was puzzled by Alan Hasenfield's sudden remark, but responded politely: It's okay, Mr. Bronfman.

Diane Kruger didn't understand, it didn't mean that Eric didn't understand either, and Cindy Crawford, who heard this, didn't know Alan Hasenfield's identity, but he heard it too. the meaning of his words. Edgar Bronfman and Michael Eisner introduced Aaron Hasenfield to Eric's woman, apparently trying to create a conflict between him and Eric because of the woman.

Eric was also a little unhappy when he heard that Michael Eisner and the others had played such a small trick.

However, he didn't show it. Michael Eisner did not succeed in separating him and Alan Hasenfield, but at this time, Alan Hasenfield said so with the idea of ​​retaliating in the same way. To create a conflict between him and Michael Eisner, if Firefly and Universal fight over the copyright of Transformers because of this matter, Hasbro will just be able to profit from it.

There are very few people who can achieve the position of eo in a large group, but few are fools who roll up their sleeves and act recklessly after being provoked a little...

Not Alan Hasenfield, not Michael Eisner, and certainly not Eric.

Seeing that Eric's expression didn't change, Alan Hasenfield didn't know if he didn't hear the meaning of what he just said or if he heard it but didn't make a sound. After thinking for a while, he tried again: Mr. Williams, since you know me, you have been paying attention to Transformers for a long time compared to Firefly, right?

Eric said: Transformers, it is indeed a very interesting toy series. I also played Transformers when I was a child.

Oh, so what do you think of the prospects for a live-action movie for this toy line? Alan Hasenfield pressed.

Eric shrugged: I don't think Transformers has any movie development value right now.

Alan Hasenfield frowned: Mr. Williams, can you tell me your reason?

The reason, Eric smiled and said, I was very interested after hearing that someone was competing for the copyright of Transformers, so I asked the technical department to do some relevant assessments. Do you know what the result was?

I'd love to hear about it, Alan Hasenfield made a look of listening intently. (To be continued.)
