Eric thought that the scandal between himself and Connery would disappear after a period of time if he and Connery did not respond positively, but he was far away Underestimating his influence and the level of media and public curiosity about the matter, he and Connery became friends in just a few days after the New York Post released an intimate photo of him and Connery at Fox headquarters. A large number of paparazzi are the focus of pursuit, and various gossips have appeared in various tabloids one after another.
Of course, Fox was secretly having fun. Although they didn’t dare to write too much to avoid a deadlock with Eric, they couldn’t stop other media from covering the matter, and Fox was in the last two weeks before the release. , and also put the focus of the promotion of “Fighting Condor” on Jennifer Connelly. Because of the joint effect brought about by this scandal, the publicity effect of “Fighting Condor” was not only much better than expected, but even better than expected. Save a lot of publicity budget.
In the face of a large number of paparazzi following, Eric began to look forward to the arrival of the era of media monopoly while strengthening his own security.
In this era, the US media channels are quite scattered, and there are more than 50 media companies on various platforms in the country, so the dissemination of information is quite free.
But ten years later, the US media industry has undergone a large number of mergers and acquisitions, and more than 90% of the information dissemination channels are in the hands of the six major media groups.
At that time, as long as he had enough right to speak in Hollywood, this kind of trivial matter that was harassed by the paparazzi did not even need to be spoken by him, and someone would solve it.
It was originally planned to stay with the woman before Joanna returned to Poland to visit her family, but it was affected by this incident, and there were more important things to do at the end of the year.
Eric, who was unwilling to recreate the branches, also had to be under the little complaint of the woman.
Moved to his own mansion in Beverly Hills.
Entering November.
Eric began to make final preparations for the expulsion of Robert Shea, and in the first few weeks of November, he held several consecutive parties in the Beverly mansion, inviting all levels of Firefly’s management and employees to connect emotionally. .
At the same time, Eric also had several secret talks with Robert Shea’s deputy, Michael Lynn.
After supervising the production of “Instinct” in the first half of the year, Jeffrey is also planning to rest on the farm in Maryland for half a year, and then start work again when Eric’s “Tornado” project starts next year.
However, after learning of Eric’s plan, Jeffrey hurried back to Los Angeles.
Intended to help Eric stabilize the firefly situation after he launched.
Jeffrey has no relatives in Los Angeles. The plane from Maryland on the east coast to Los Angeles arrived at 7:30 p.m. on November 13. Eric went to the airport to meet him. In the pick-up hall, Jeffrey took a The small suitcase appeared in front of Eric, hugged Eric enthusiastically, handed the suitcase to the bodyguard who came with Eric, and the two walked out side by side.
“It’s heartbreaking to see you so alone, Jeffrey. Maybe you should find another company.”
“I don’t feel that way, and Chris doesn’t quite accept it.” Jeffrey shook his head. Shaking his head, he quickly smiled and said, “It’s a lot of fun for you in the newspaper these days, another Jennifer, hehe.”
“It’s a plan made by Fox to promote “Condor”, I don’t think it’s a big deal, I tacitly accepted it, I didn’t expect it to have such a big impact.”
Jeffrey added: “But I don’t think this girl has the aura of Aniston, she is too delicate.”
Although Aniston liked to make trouble in front of him at the beginning A little bit of a temper, that’s because of the girl’s character when facing her lover, but the little girl is much more pleasing than Drew’s little girl. Although they have only been with each other a few times, Aniston is very fond of Jeffrey. ‘s favorite.
Eric couldn’t help sighing,
Aniston’s brokerage contract was still with Kapoor, so Eric could get the latest situation of Xiaoyi at any time.
Since breaking up at the beginning of the year, Aniston seems to have become a professional woman and devoted herself to acting. The second season of “Friends” has now aired more than half, and the average viewership of more than 20 million is still outstanding.
In addition, Aniston also received two films, a cameo with only five minutes of appearance time, which was released in the summer, and the results were not bad.
The other is a romantic comedy. It was released on Christmas Day. Eric happened to watch a trailer on TV. It was produced by Warner and cooperated with Matt Dillon. It is a film with no impression at all in memory. The result of the butterfly effect.
Because of the early appearance and great success of “Pretty Woman” last year, Hollywood has added a lot of romantic comedies this year. It is estimated that the proportion of this type of films will definitely increase in the next two years after “The Ghost Story”.
Unfortunately, although Eric has been following Aniston silently, he believes that Xiaoyi Niu is also paying attention to him, otherwise on his birthday this year, it is impossible to receive that anonymous gift, but two I haven’t seen each other for almost a year.
Jeffrey just subconsciously compared Aniston and Connelly, noticed Eric’s low mood, and did not continue.
The paparazzi who followed all the way to the airport had already raised their cameras, but when they saw that it was Jeffrey who came out with Eric, he just clicked the shutter a few times, and even some of them didn’t even want to waste film. Just put down the camera.
In the face of the four or five bodyguards guarding Eric and Jeffrey, these paparazzi did not unknowingly get together.
Escorting Eric and Jeffrey into the car, in addition to the driver, the remaining four bodyguards all ran to the black Chevrolet behind.
“Is this too cautious?” Jeffrey couldn’t help but say after the car started.
“It’s mainly to prevent the paparazzi behind me. I’m surrounded by them, so I don’t want to get out,” Eric pointed to the back of the car and added, “But in September, a director of Warner Bros. was on vacation in Greece. I was kidnapped from time to time. Not only was I blackmailed for a million dollars, but I almost didn’t come back alive. It’s always right to be careful. I’m now a high-risk kidnapping target. What’s more serious is that I don’t have any relatives. I can’t even find a person who is bound to pay the ransom.”
Jeffrey couldn’t help laughing: “How is it possible, we won’t leave it alone.”
Eric joked: “The key is that the kidnappers don’t necessarily know about this. Maybe after they kidnapped me, they suddenly found out that they didn’t have any relatives to contact, so they just tore up the ticket.”
“In this case, I think you should get married sooner .
.”
“No such plans,” Eric shook his head.
Jeffrey understood Eric’s temperament. The two people’s life concepts were very different. He knew that it was useless to say anything. The two chatted casually until they came to Jeffrey’s apartment and got out of the car. After that, Eric walked in together with Jeffrey: “I asked someone to help you clean up this morning, but I didn’t buy anything to eat. You can go to the supermarket by yourself tomorrow. It’s better to hire another servant.”
“I don’t need any servants. I’m not yet sixty years old, so it’s not like I can’t move.”
Jeffrey said, beckoning to let Eric sit down on the sofa and boil water to make coffee by himself. , After a while, Jeffrey handed a cup of coffee to Eric and sat down on the other side of the sofa.
Just now because there were outsiders in the car, Jeffrey couldn’t speak, so he asked solemnly, “Eric, is it too hasty to do this?”
Eric knew that Jeffrey was referring to deportation. About Robert Shea, he shook his head: “If Robert has the ability to make Firefly develop rapidly, even if he wants enough power, I can delegate power to him. But his ability is limited, and he has no pursuit of corporate power. Temperance, and he has always had his own small calculations in his heart. This kind of person is destined to have no benefit to the development of Firefly.”
Jeffrey continued: “But he holds 25% of the shares?”
“This is also true. What worries me the most is that I have enough confidence in the development prospects of Firefly. With the development and growth of Firefly, if nothing is done, a few years later, the conflict between me and Robert will be brought to the table, plus the shareholders of Robert. the identity of the two of us, the conflict between the two of us will have a greater impact on the company, so it is better to kick him out earlier.

“It seems that you have thought about it carefully. After Robert leaves, you plan to Who will be at the helm?”
“Michael Lynn, Robert’s current deputy, I’ve talked to him a few times and promised some good things. But I’m not going to give him too much power, a company wants to grow fast, only one voice is necessary , just like Disney, and Time Warner is a negative example, don’t look at Warner and Time merged into the largest Hollywood giant, but Time Warner’s personnel disputes have become more complicated now, and even affect Warner’s operations, even if it owns Hollywood The biggest scale, but it will definitely be surpassed in the future.”
Three days after Jeffrey returned to Los Angeles, on Friday, November 16, along with MGM’s “Rocky 5,” Fox’s “Condor” and Robert The thriller “Ghost Detective,” a parody of “Ghostbusters,” produced by Shea, was released at the same time, announcing the official arrival of the Thanksgiving schedule.
In addition to these films, Thanksgiving-Christmas will also include Coppola’s “The Godfather 3”, “Kindergarten SWAT” starring Schwarzenegger, and the 1987 annual box office champion “Three Dads and One Baby” The sequel and many other films are released, and Catherine Bigelow’s “Shocking Point” is also scheduled for December 21st.
It is worth mentioning that this holiday period of the original time and space should have been “Home Alone” dominated the show, arrogantly occupying the top of the box office chart for ten weeks, squeezing other films to the ground, but because “Little Ghost” “Home” has appeared two years ahead of schedule, which means that the more than 200 million box office that originally belonged to “Home Alone” will be distributed to other films.
