I’m in Hollywood

Along the way, Eric is racking his brains to think about how to explain this to Barry Diller. At the celebration of "Fengyue", the two men have already passed the problem of the lower film, which is almost equal to the default. The next movie will be released by Fox in the summer.

Suddenly changing now, what reaction Fox will have is hard to predict. If possible, Eric doesn't want to succumb to any movie giant. His current strength is not strong enough. It is hard to say whether it will hurt or not. What's more, Fox also has the right to distribute his three movies, which involves hundreds of millions of dollars in profits. Because from time to time will be caught in the entanglement, Eric also accidentally smashed a red light, but fortunately nothing happened.

Finally arrived at the Fox headquarters, after Eric reported his identity, all the way to the Barry Diller office.

"Mr. Williams, please wait a few minutes, the president is meeting." Barry Diller's secretary led Eric into the outside lounge and carefully placed a cup of coffee for Eric.

Eric glanced curiously at the door of Barry Diller's office. The soundproofing of the office was very good, and there was no sound at all. The young and beautiful female secretary noticed Eric's curious look, hesitated, whispered: "Fox TV manager."

Eric picked up his eyebrows and had to throw a grateful look at the girl who had pretended to be nothing and seemed to have just said nothing. This girl is really a personal, simple sentence, almost can be said that nothing was revealed, but it is a small person to Eric. Moreover, when the girl leaned over, she did not know whether it was intentional or unintentional. The badge just appeared in front of Eric, and it would not be possible to remember the other person’s name.

Waiting patiently for seven or eight minutes, a middle-aged man opened his door and walked out of the office. Seeing sitting on the lounge sofa and looking at his Eric through the glass, the middle-aged man quickly put away his frustrated look and politely rushed to Eric to scream and hurried away.

"Mr. Williams, you can go in."

Eric walked into the office, and a faint smell of smoke was floating in the air, and several cigarette butts were stacked in the ashtray in front of Barry Diller.

"Eric, I have kept you waiting." After Eric entered the door, Barry Diller had already put away the emotions, but Eric saw the residual anger on his face.

"A few minutes." Eric said, under the direction of Barry Diller, sat down on the opposite sofa.

Barry Diller did not explain anything, but in connection with the identity of the middle-aged man who had just left, Eric still guessed the reason for the other party's fire, nothing more than the performance of Fox TV was not satisfactory. ABC, NBC and CBS have dominated the North American wireless TV market for so many years, and it is impossible for a latecomer to easily threaten his position.

From this point of view, Barry Diller is indeed a media genius. The pressure of the past three TV stations is to develop the Fox TV network and become the fourth largest TV station in North America.

After a few chats, Barry Diller asked Eric about it.

Eric did not think of any euphemism on the way. He could only open the door to see the mountain: "Mr. Diller, I am afraid that my next movie cannot be released by Fox."

Barry Diller confirmed that he had not misunderstood, and his brow immediately wrinkled and his eyes narrowed. I have just heard some bad news from the Fox TV manager. I can't think of it, the mood has not completely changed, and another bad news came.

"Eric, don't you want to default? Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this?"

Now that things have been rolled out, Eric is no longer looking ahead, looking directly at Barry Diller’s gaze: “Mr. Diller, I am not going to default, and the contract does not prohibit me from cooperating with other film companies. There is no specific schedule for the three movies, so I only need to deliver the three movies to Fox before the end of the year."

Barry Diller snorted a little, and a faint remorse came out.

The contract was originally signed by him personally. There is no ban on Eric's cooperation with other film companies, and this is indeed Fox's negligence. Because most of the staff drafting the contract focused on the details of the "Little Ghosts". And Eric signed three movies, and there are very few directors in Hollywood who can direct three movies a year. Most directors can be productive if they can keep the speed of a movie a year. Who can think of this young man's energy?

But there is no prescription for the film, but Barry Diller intends to do so. When drafting the contract, Fox was not too optimistic about Eric’s request for two other films to be bundled. Therefore, although Eric specifically mentioned the issue of the schedule, he hoped to put all three movies on the popular holiday schedule. There was also a small dispute with Barry Diller, but Fox eventually refused for various reasons.

Fox also has his own ideas. Once Eric’s first two movies are not optimistic, Fox can calmly put the two movies in the unpopular spring or autumn, which will not take advantage of Fox’s resources. Can also successfully perform the contract.

Who would have thought that Eric's next "Fengyue" was once again a great success, and it is now impossible for everyone to evaluate the boy for reasons such as luck. Many fans are also looking forward to his next movie.

Now, in an office where the atmosphere is a bit stagnation, when Eric said the words, Barry Diller discovered that he had arrogantly refused Eric’s schedule request, but now it has become a big one. Oh, wrap yourself in.

"Eric, 35 percent of the share is not enough to satisfy you? The cost of "Wind Moon" is only 7 million US dollars. If you subtract the 1 million advertising sponsorship of Lamborghini, the actual cost of the movie is only 6 million. And Fox has so far paid more than $15 million for the cost of the announcement, which is 2.5 times the cost of your movie, and 2.5 times more! We only take 20%. This profit division, you still What is not satisfied?"

Barry Diller said that in the end, there was almost a roar in his tone, and there was a compelling momentum on his body. He just came back from Europe last night. After a few days of hard work, he didn’t even have a good night’s sleep. He heard another news about Fox’s new drama being strangled by the three major TV stations in the early morning. The news of the ratings was disastrous. .

Just slammed the Fox TV manager out of the office and ushered in a bad news. The anger that was pressed down broke out again.

Eric was not scared by Barry Diller's momentum, calmly retorted: "Mr. Diller, although Fox paid a price of 15 million US dollars, but can exchange more than 80 million profits, so I do not owe What are you, to be honest, when I came, my heart has been very embarrassing, I don’t want to be in a stiff situation with Fox, but just want to talk about it."

Seeing that the opposite boy was neither scared by himself nor confronted with his youth, but instead refuted his own words, Barry Diller quickly calmed down and found that his ability to control his emotions was even less than twenty. Young people are not as good as old people. Reflecting on himself, Barry Diller sat back in his executive chair and gently took a few deep breaths. Eyes still stare at Eric: "Well, Eric, you... What are the new conditions, can you talk about it first?"

Eric realized that Barry Diller didn't fully understand what he meant and explained: "Mr. Diller, I don't want to amend the contract. I just didn't want to get Joe to get more from Fox. There are many benefits. Someone has the conditions that I can't refuse, and I want to get the distribution rights for my next movie."

Barry Diller has been in Hollywood for so many years. After calming down at this moment, she quickly thought of a possibility and asked: "Colombia?"

Eric nodded.

Barry Diller bowed his head and silently took out a cigarette and ignited it. Since Colombia has already said that Eric has explained the conditions of the other party, it is impossible for Fox to take it out. Everything in Colombia now has a high price and a goal of getting more benefits from the Japanese. At this time, it is not uncommon for the other party to open up the crazy conditions of Eric.
