In another room near the two crew lounges, Eric was chatting with the big guys from other companies who were already present.

Although these executives have their own masters, in fact, many of them are very familiar with each other, and there is no sense of strangeness in chatting, because the executives of the seven major film companies move very frequently.

For example, Barry Diller, who was not there, was in charge of Paramount before 1984 and is now the CEO of Fox, while Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg, who were originally at Paramount, were Barry at the time. Diller’s deputy, the two are now the CEO of Disney and the president of Disney.

If history does not change, Jeffrey Katzenberg will be the CEO of DreamWorks in a few years.

Columbia’s Amy Pascal was a Fox executive before she joined the company.

It is precisely by virtue of these intricate interpersonal relationships that several major film companies can ensure full cooperation with each other while competing with each other.

“Eric, how much box office are you going to make for the two films this time? Let me talk about it first, let us have a reference when we quote?” Michael Eisner asked in front of the others, although A casual look like nothing happened, but there is some inexplicable expectation in his eyes.

Eric put down the coffee cup and smiled: “Mr. Eisner, to be honest, I can only guarantee that the quality of these two films is excellent. As for how much box office they can get, it depends on the audience and the market. Reaction.”

“That’s not good, you are so slick at a young age, young people have to be a little bit brave to speak up.” Paramount President Nader Tarn said, the other party is a quick A 60-year-old old man, with white hair and a smile on his face, looks kind and amiable. This sentence sounds like the elders are inspiring the younger ones, and it will naturally make people feel close.

Eric smiled and showed an humbly and educated appearance, but he was actually slandering in his heart. These old guys are smoother than each other. If he really listens to their opinions, he will wait to be tricked and pay for the number of people.

Speaking of which, since Barry Diller and Michael Eisner and others have successively left a large number of executives, Paramount’s vitality has been greatly damaged, and the current film performance is in a mess. This year, only one “Raiders of the Lost Ark” can win. It can be done, but the producers and directors of “Raiders of the Lost Ark” are the famous George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, both of whom are very shrewd film businessmen, and Paramount estimates that To be able to earn some of the hard work of publishing, most of the profits must be split between George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.

In the previous analysis, Eric felt that Paramount might be the one with the highest bid. This time, the test film will adopt a hidden bid method. After everyone has watched the film, they will each offer their own conditions, and Firefly will be based on The sharing conditions offered by several film companies determine which party to cooperate with.

However, the appearance of Michael Eisner suddenly made the expected results confusing, because Michael Eisner’s attention is likely to arouse the desire of other major film companies to compete. After all, he only used In just five years, Disney’s performance has skyrocketed, and now its ‘status’ in Hollywood even has the momentum to overwhelm the old boss Barry Diller.

Alan Feisman gently opened the door, walked to Eric gently, tried not to highlight his presence, bent over and said in Eric’s ear: “Mr. Williams, Fox The person is here.”

Eric nodded

and said to Michael Eisner and others with a smile: “I’m sorry everyone, wait a moment, I’ll pick someone up.”

Out of the room, Eric took Alan towards the elevator Go, it is estimated that the other party is coming up soon.

Allen said again at this time: “Mike at the reception downstairs said that there are two people from Fox, besides Karta Hunter, there is also a woman.”

Eric was stunned for a while before asking: “Recognize Who is the other party?”

Allen shook his head: “I don’t know, Mike said that the girl was only about twenty years old, very young, but Karta Hunt was very respectful to her.”

Director Karta Hunt When it comes to the distribution of Fox’s movies, it is also at the level of a vice president, and he can maintain his respect. It is estimated that there are only a few people such as Barry Diller. Among them, there will definitely not be a girl in her twenties.

Not understanding, Eric stopped thinking about it and came to the elevator. The special elevator just made a ding sound, and a man and a woman came out.

“Hello, Karta,” Eric stepped forward with a smile, hugged Karta Hunter gently, and glanced at the blonde who was standing beside Karta, looking at him with interest, The girl looks about 20 years old, 1.7 meters tall, with short blond hair just covering her ears, very beautiful, with an awl face, slender eyebrows and eyes, wearing a black and white plaid shirt and light yellow casual trousers, with her feet on Black flats.

This should be a standard career woman, Eric thought, because she was very similar to Amy Pascal sitting in the lounge.

After greeting Karta, the other party was about to help introduce, but the girl reached out her hand: “Hello, Mr. Williams, my name is Elizabeth Murdoch. UU www.sonicmtl.com”

Eric raised his eyebrows slightly Next, the Murdoch family, with Karta Hunt’s attitude towards the girl, Eric felt that the other party should be the immediate family of Rupert Murdoch.

“Hello, Miss Murdoch, you can call me Eric.” The

girl let go of Eric’s hand and asked solemnly, “Then why don’t you call me Elizabeth?”

Aggressive woman, Eric Ke thought to himself, and said in a hurry: “Because we have just met, it is very inappropriate to call a girl’s name without permission.”

Elizabeth Murdoch raised her chin slightly and confronted Eric. Vision: “Okay, Eric, I allow you to call me Elizabeth.”

“Uh…”

Karta Hunter saw Eric’s embarrassed look, and hurriedly said: “Eric, Elizabeth is Lu Mr. Burt Murdoch’s second daughter, who recently interned at Fox, is very interested in your… movies, so she wants to see it, I hope you don’t mind.”

“Of course not,” Eric He smiled and said, “Let’s go to the lounge, the test film will start at two o’clock, and it will take a while.”

A few people walked to the lounge at the end of the corridor together, Elizabeth Murdoch took the initiative to get close to Eric, and Allen stepped back and followed behind the three of them.
