I’m in Hollywood

Jeffrey did not leave, but was sitting at the sofa in the Eric office for lunch, and discussed some issues with Eric.

"Eric, apart from "The Dark War," we don't have more than 25 million movies at all. Isn't there a lot of budget for Robert Shea's two movies of $50 million?"

Upon hearing this question, Eric’s face was stretched. After a few mouthfuls of lunch in the box, he pushed it aside and took a paper towel and rubbed his mouth. “I don’t want to, but I want Robert to do my best. I have to give the other side some benefits first. 50 million, and although I said that I will be fully responsible to him, but if Robert's chosen movie does not work, I will certainly not sign the project proposal."

For Eric's film vision, Jeffrey didn't have any doubts. Hearing Eric said, he let go of his heart: "However, Eric, Robert's power is too big and certainly not a good thing. ”

"There is nothing to worry about," Eric signed the name on a document and quickly changed the next one. While carefully browsing, "When we integrate the resources of the new line, we will completely integrate the new line with the firefly." As one, the rest is much simpler."

Jeffrey's heart jumped, and the little guy was dark enough, and now he began to remember to drive Robert Shea away. However, Eric does have this strength. After all, Robert Shea has only 15% of the shares, and Eric has an absolute controlling stake. He wants to dismiss Robert Shea’s position, and does not even need to go through any discussion at the meeting. A copy of the document is fine.

“Do you think I am going to kill and kill?” Eric laughed and looked up at Jeffrey.

Jeffrey smiled slyly, but still admitted generously: "It's a bit like this."

"You know, Jeffrey. I am not the kind of ignorant person. If Robert can keep his duty and do things within his strength, I will never make this kind of eating. It’s a pity that his heart is too big, and you must have noticed that he brought so many people today, it’s a demonstration, and he wants to tell us that he is very important to fireflies.”

"I suddenly have a kind of worry," Jeffrey heard Eric say, and said: "You see, those people today are Robert's shackles, if you drive him away in the future. Will these people? Leave with him?"

Eric shook his head and looked relaxed. "Do you think that if the fireflies develop, then the people under him will give up millions of annual salary and dividends, and leave with him to start a new business? Or maybe there are so many other giant movie studios with so many positions that they can dig them together? These are unlikely, Robert left, and I will find a ceo to take over the already completed distribution channels. It is."

"but……"

Eric interrupted Jeffrey’s words and patiently said: “Jeffrey. Actually, you don’t have to worry so much. I said that Robert might be driven away, but not necessarily. Maybe a year or two, He realized his strengths, no longer intervened in the production of the film, and I didn't have to do this. Robert's talent in film distribution is unquestionable."

"I understand," Jeffrey nodded helplessly and began to bow down to eat.

The door knocked a few times, and the office door was pushed open without permission. Drew, wearing a t-shirt hot pants, flew in and threw himself on Eric. I also went to Eric to ask about what happened last night.

Standing at the door, Allen patiently smiled and looked at Shantou and Eric, until Eric turned his attention to himself: "Eric. Baggage and car are ready, so as not to encounter the road. In the special case of traffic jams, I think we are starting to go now."

"Let's go," Eric pulled down Xiao Nizi, who was on his knees. "I'm not going to be jealous these days. There are things I can do to help Jeffrey, don't mess around."

"Cut, I am not a child," Shantou dissatisfied and scratched on Eric, and said: "Eric, I want to go to Venice too."

"Forget it, you can't stand it," Eric licked his head and furry head. Recently, Xiao Nizi didn't know what to think. She cut a cute bag and saw that Eric always couldn't stand it. Stayed a few more times: "The plane from Los Angeles to Venice, it takes 17 hours for a one-way trip, and there is still a need for a transfer."

Drew really can't stand it, let her do nothing on the plane for 17 hours. It is estimated that Xiao Nizi will not be able to take it apart, so she will not mention it again. She will walk with Eric's arm and say: "Ire Ke, let's buy a private jet, so it won't be boring even if we fly for a long time."

"It's not the time," Eric shook his head. "Let's wait another year or two."

"Well," Drew nodded, and the group came downstairs. Xiao Nizi took the lead in the business car: "I will send you to the airport."

"Eric, I won't go, there are still some things to do," Jeffrey patted Eric's shoulder: "Along the way."

"Goodbye, Jeffrey," Eric smacked at Jeffrey and sat in. Allen in front sat in the co-pilot and saw Eric and Drew sit behind, before the driver drove.

He wants to go to Venice with Eric, and he still wants to find a translator. Venice is speaking Italian. But coincidentally, Allen’s mother happened to be an Italian. Allen grew up in English and Italian from an early age. It’s no problem to speak Italian, so it saves the trouble of finding translation. .

Fortunately, from Burbank all the way to Los Angeles International Airport, it took only one hour and ten minutes. When it arrived, there was still half an hour from the boarding time. Eric and Allen could check in with ease. formalities.

"Allen, what are you looking at?" When I was waiting for boarding, Eric saw Allen checking his carry-on bag carefully and asked curiously.

"Book, I brought a collection of Stephen King's novels, I plan to see it on the plane, Eric, have you brought it?"

Eric has a hand. He used to take long-distance trains in his previous life. However, the environment on the train is not suitable for reading. The long-time plane has not been seated, so he did not think of this. Moreover, his baggage was cleaned up by Xiao Nizi yesterday, and it is even more impossible to think of it with the character of Shantou.

"There are still a few minutes, maybe you can buy one, there is a super mall outside the hall," Allen volunteered.

"I will go, Eric, you are waiting here. If I don't have time to come back, you will board the plane directly."

Eric is about to say that there is no need to worry, Xiao Nizi has already flown out.

Drew only ran out of the waiting room hall, and Eric and Allen heard the announcement of the sound of the boarding, and they looked at each other.

"Let's go, line up first, maybe you can catch it," Eric said, and Allen did not refute. The two men took luggage and walked to the boarding gate.

Ten minutes later, there were only two people in the boarding gates, Eric and Allen. The other passengers had already entered. The staff next to them began to remind two people to go in. Eric finally glanced behind and flew. The shadow came to them, and Shantou directly put a thick hard-book into Eric's hand. He didn't say anything, panting and waving and waving two people to go straight in.

Eric knew that he didn't have to be polite with Xiao Nizi. He stuffed the book into the bag and said goodbye. He took the baggage and entered the boarding gate.

The huge Boeing passenger plane roared off the ground and it took a while to stabilize.

In the first class, Eric untied the seat belt, and Allen, who was next to him, took out a schedule and introduced Eric.

"After the transfer in London, we will arrive in Venice on September 2nd at 3pm local time. Mr. Demi and Miss Madsen said that they will pick us up at Marco Polo Airport. At night, we will have a meeting with Director John Landis, No. 3 No activity, you can take a day off, jet lag. The red carpet at the opening ceremony of the 4th Film Festival, the organizing committee invites you to attend the party. Our ticket for the afternoon of the 5th, return to Los Angeles at 5 am Eastern Time on the 6th. Rick, is there any need to note?"

Eric listened patiently and shook his head: "No, just like this."

If possible, he did not intend to attend the Venice Film Festival. Although he had this plan, as the schedule became tighter, he also had the idea of ​​not coming. However, after the Venice Film Festival learned that he might appear, he took the initiative to send him an official invitation, hoping that he could attend the opening ceremony.

"Island Cry" was originally nothing to do with the awards, Eric delayed it, but with the propaganda strategy proposed by Michael Eisner, "Small Island Cry" also has the hope of winning the prize. In this case, Eric will not be able to refuse. Since the invitation was signed by Andrei Jemirnov, the chairman of this jury, he was sincere and sincere. If Eric does not give this face to the other party, it will directly lay a bad influence on the other party's mind. Compared with the scale of the judges of thousands of Oscars, there are only nine judges at the Venice Film Festival. I gave the award.

Therefore, in order to avoid the tragedy of "Small Island Fright" empty-handed because of his personal factors, Eric can only take a look at the spirit.

Reluctantly sighed, Eric no longer thought about these annoying things, and easily took the book that Xiao Nizi bought for himself from the backpack.

After looking at it, I couldn't help but laugh.

"Walden".

What book is this **** bought, and who is watching the essay on the plane?

Forget it, it should be used for hypnosis.

Eric unpacked the plastic film wrapped around the book, thinking about it. (To be continued)
