America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM.

Chapter 301 299. What you get is always in turmoil
"The dog's life is so colorful. It makes the owner's life happy and the dog's life happy. It's very heartwarming!"

“I love all movies with dogs in them, and then I burst into tears.”

"I was caught up in the video without realizing it. It felt like this Labrador had been with me for years. When it died, I suddenly felt the unbearable pain."

"Oh my god, I cry every time I watch a dog movie. If the ending of the movie wasn't a little sad, I would give a better review."

“This is a very warm family movie, suitable for family and children to watch together. It is the kind of good movie that you can sit down and enjoy quietly as long as you watch the beginning.”

"I don't want to compare who is more perfect, Marley or Hachiko, because it's meaningless, but I'm willing to give Jennifer Aniston a full score for her performance."

"I am still looking at the finale of 'Friends' a few months ago. It seems like I am seeing a continuation here. Wouldn't it be better to change the male lead to Ross? David Schwimmer's acting is superb. 'Band of Brothers' proves that he can handle any role."

"This movie is told from both the dog's and the owner's perspectives. The dog is growing up, and the owner is maturing. I like this approach."

After the word-of-mouth ban on "Marley and Me" was lifted, most of the reviews were praises, but there were also many negative reviews. No movie can please everyone, not to mention the smears from Eric's enemies.

But the box office doesn't lie, and the war between MGM and the Big Six has been going on for several months, and now the whole world knows that the two sides are not getting along.

Therefore, the audience is no longer too interested in the evaluation of traditional newspaper media.

Damn it, if I believed you once it was fake, if I believed you twice it was fake again, and if I believed you the third time "Frozen" has proved everything.

Desensitized, bro!
This war caused the credibility of many media and film critics to decline to varying degrees, and readers and buyers denounced them for making bad money.

In response, those guys can only continue to be stubborn: "Movies are subjective art. Everyone has their own perspective. I just think it's not good. I just think it doesn't meet the artistic standards. Is there a problem?"

In principle, there is no problem, but what is lost is the people's hearts.

Now when you want to see reviews of a movie, you will more likely go to forums and imdb to pay attention to the reviews of passers-by rather than so-called professionals.

In the first three days of the weekend, "Marley and Me" took in $3111 million in 4530 theaters, which is a very impressive result. It's a pity that it didn't win the championship and only got the runner-up.

The champion belongs to Fox's "I, Robot", which was suddenly withdrawn from the schedule in the third week of "Frozen" and starred Will Smith.

Eric now has no idea what is going on inside Fox, and hopes the crazy internal fighting will continue.

Although we didn't win the championship, it's not shameful to lose to such a sci-fi blockbuster.

The cost of "Marley and Me" was only 2700 million US dollars, and "I, Robot" was less than million. Eric did a handstand and had diarrhea.

Jennifer Aniston was very happy to express her gratitude to Eric.

"You're like a prophet. At last year's Emmy Awards, you said the movie would be a success. To be honest, I was a little disappointed after reading the script. It seems I must apologize."

"Haha. Question me, believe in me, and become my believer. People around me usually follow these three steps."

"Hahahaha. You sound like a cult leader."

"Cults all require believers to donate their own money, but I am here to increase your value. Where in the world is there such a great cult?"

"So I should call you an angel, OMG! Eric, I haven't been in a good mood recently, but I feel much better now. Thank you so much."

"You're welcome. Don't let outside comments hurt yourself. The most important thing is to make yourself better. I hope to see a happy Rachel Green forever."

"Oh! You are so thoughtful and always make people feel comfortable. I wish Brad Pitt could be like you."

After hanging up the phone, Eric shook his head slightly.

like me?
If Brad Pitt was really like me, would your marriage have waited until today to fall apart?

It's fucking over!

Wow, I’m so awesome!
Well, my mom is awesome!
Hilton Hotel, today is Nicky Hilton's wedding day.

As a fashion expert, a life-enhancing expert, and a promiscuous expert, this girl's lightning-fast marriage really shocked many people.

But who can blame her for her wealthy background? The name Hilton has already destined her to be extraordinary.

Although she usually has a lot of negative news, but out of respect for her elder status, many guests and media came to support her today.

Some people are born in Rome, some are born to be cattle and horses, there is nothing you can do about it, that's fate.

Eric didn't bring a female companion. Instead of thinking about this brain-wracking problem, it would be more convenient for him to go alone.

Who knows, a brief romance might happen, and by drinking some wine on a happy day, strangers might suddenly become familiar.

"Eric, welcome, welcome!" Paris Hilton walked towards him.

She looked around and said, "Are you alone? Weird, you don't have your girlfriend with you?"

"She has other things to do. Anyway, it's me you need."

Eric only mentioned "she", but who does this "she" represent? Everyone has their own understanding.

"You're right. It's indeed you, Eric Cooper, that we need. I like your frank way of speaking."

"It should be a lively day today, but you may not like Nikki's and my young friends, even though you look young too."

"But let's go to District 3. There are old-timers like you there. You'll have something in common with them."

Eric smiled and said, "Listening to you talking, someone who doesn't know me would think I'm 50 years old this year, but we are the same age."

"Isn't it? Eric, you are like a conservative old man. I have never seen any news about you going to bars for fun. Don't you have any entertainment life?"

"And I really can't understand why you always reject me? Is it because I'm not obvious enough? Or do you think I'm not attractive enough? Aren't you a normal man?"

Eric thought to himself that the reason he didn't go to the bar was because he had someone at home who would make him happier.

When you have all the delicious food around you, do you still want to go to a fly restaurant and eat unclean food?
At most, it can improve the taste occasionally, who would eat it often!

"No, of course not. You are very beautiful Paris, but you have to understand that beauty is not the only factor that attracts people. I can have as many beautiful women as I want. What's more important is that they are compatible with me."

"There's no need to turn all relationships between men and women into physical ones. Isn't it good to just be friends?"

Paris Hilton looked at him with an unhappy expression: "But I just can't accept it. Now that I've said this, I'll be frank."

"After the ceremony, I will wait for you in room 607. This is the last time. If you don't seize the opportunity, we will only be ordinary friends in this life!"

Watching her leave a little angrily, Eric shook his head speechlessly.

What kind of words are you saying? It sounds like not being good to you means I look down on you.

Although there are often people around me who seduce me, Paris Hilton is the first one who can say it so confidently. When Eric arrived at the hall, Paris Hilton's father Rick Hilton took the initiative to hold his hand without Eric doing anything.

Although he was surrounded by middle-aged people in their 40s and 50s, Eric chatted and laughed with them happily and did not feel out of place. The Forbes ranking was no joke.

As the bell rang and the bride and groom exchanged vows, the ceremony was successfully held and the lively cocktail party began.

"Mr. Cooper, I wonder if I might have the honor of asking you to dance?"

Eric was chatting with a group of old men when he heard a greeting from behind.

He looked back and saw a beautiful blonde standing there. She looked familiar, but suddenly he couldn't remember her name.

Perhaps seeing Eric's confusion, the girl took the initiative to introduce: "Mischa, Mischa Barton."

"Oh! I know, The O.C., Marissa."

Seeing that Eric recognized her, Mischa Barton smiled happily: "Can we dance?"

To be honest, Eric didn't want to jump because the girl opposite him was also a mess.

She is beautiful, has been on stage since she was young, and became famous at a young age, especially last year's "The O.C.", which made her directly promoted to a hot star of the younger generation, quite a bit like the traffic stars of later generations.

This TV series is about Eric's childhood, and the male protagonist is Benjamin McKenzie, who later became the Gotham King of Singles, and is also the male protagonist of "Happy Days".

However, becoming famous at a young age often makes people lost. Mischa Barton also has a very unreliable mother, similar to Angela Chang's mother.

The friends around me are people like Paris Hilton. Simply put, if there are no good people around me, I will naturally not learn well.

He went to bars, took drugs, drank alcohol, was unprofessional at work, disappeared during filming, and ultimately his future was ruined.

You don't have the wealthy family background of the Hilton sisters. They can start over when they have enough fun, but you will only bring about your own destruction.

"Go ahead Eric."

"You must want to be with young girls more than old men like us."

"A man cannot refuse a woman's invitation, especially when the other party is a beautiful girl."

Encouraged by a group of old men, and with his own upbringing and manners, Eric was too embarrassed to refuse directly, so he took the other person's hand and walked into the dance floor.

Mischa Barton excitedly winked at her friend not far away, as if to say, I got him.

But is it really done?
She found that during the dance, she took the initiative to let Eric hug her and show him her cleavage, but he seemed to have no interest.

After the song ended, he said goodbye and left, completely disregarding himself.

He just said lightly that he didn't like messy girls.

Paris Hilton returned to the sister group feeling a little depressed, but she couldn't help but feel secretly happy, because it turned out that she didn't just look down on her.

Seeing that Mischa Barton failed to seduce, Kim Kardashian, who was originally eager to try, also lost interest.

At this time, the groom, Todd Meister, came over to toast.

After taking a sip, Eric pulled him back: “Todd, can I spare you a moment?”

Nicky Hilton gave him a kiss on the cheek: "I'm going to go over there first, honey, you can chat with Eric."

"Ok."

The two came to a relatively quiet corner, and Eric said, "Todd, although it may be a bit presumptuous, I have a question to ask you."

Knowing that Eric is a super-rich man, Todd Meister did not hesitate at all: "Of course, Nikki said you are her good friend, so you are my good friend, just speak up."

"I heard you work on Wall Street. Do you know First Carey Investment Bank?"

Todmeister thought about it carefully and said, "I have some impression that it was founded by Chinese people. I can't remember the details, but it seems to have capital from both Hong Kong and mainland China."

"What is the size of this investment bank? Is its business doing well?"

"Sorry, I can't remember it right now, but I don't think I've seen it in any of the big businesses recently."

Eric nodded. The information he got was similar to what Carol had received. It was an average investment bank that could only take small orders at the moment.

"Eric, why are you interested in this investment bank? If you have funds to manage, I have many projects with great potential."

As he was talking, Todd Meister's occupational disease came on and he began to promote his business incessantly.

Eric listened to him politely, and after a while, perhaps realizing that he had said too much.

Todd Meister smiled awkwardly: "I always like to talk non-stop, Eric, what's the matter with you?"

"It's simple. Help me spread the word that Kerry Investment Bank will be shut down and kicked out."

"Of course, we don't really need to do that. We just want to scare them. The key is to let the boss know that Eric Cooper is very upset with him."

Todd Meister immediately understood that they were trying to use their status as a smokescreen to spread rumors.

For him, things were not difficult. He had dozens of ways to deal with a small investment bank and defeat the other party. What's more, it was just hearsay and did not require real money.

"Todd, please help me with this matter. I really want to make some investments."

"No problem, you'll get the results you want within a week."

"Huh? Aren't you going on vacation with Nikki? There's no rush. Don't let it ruin your happy life."

"It doesn't matter. Business can't be delayed. I always think that career is the most important thing for a man. Nikki will definitely understand."

"Well, this is a matter between you two. I'll wait for your good news."

After talking with Todd Meister, Eric didn't plan to stay any longer, as this was his main purpose for attending the wedding, so he just patted his butt and left.

As for Room 607, he decided not to go up there. The Husky girl had already showered and was waiting for him, so Paris Hilton decided to give up on the idea.

How do you say that?

What you can't get will always make you restless. He likes to be a handsome guy that others can't get.
