Chapter 31: statement

Eric sat down straight and said: "Mr. Eisner, please."

Michael Eisner, who was preparing to speak, had a slight suspicion of hesitation. In the process of chatting between two people, not only Eric’s sense of his senses is very good. Similarly, Michael Eisner’s impression of Eric is also good. He feels that he is not like a young man. Conversation is like chatting between peers.

Thinking of Eric's amazing results in such a short period of time, Michael Eisner has some doubts about his acceptance of Colombia's conditions. It may not be a good idea to partner Eric. This young man is only 18 years old, and his future is boundless. If he is enemies with Eric because of this incident, the chances of cooperation between the two sides will definitely be embarrassing.

As a superior, Michael Eisner is undoubtedly a decisive person. Thinking about the conditions set by Blount Cohen, Michael Eisner made up his mind again.

The success of "The Little Devil" is a different number. The young man can still achieve such dazzling success. Even if he is still outstanding, Michael Eisner feels that in the face of sufficient interest, the two sides are still very likely. Cooperation, many opponents who used to be deadly enemies can reconcile, let alone the main Eric is still Colombia?

"Eric, Disney is very interested in the overseas distribution rights of "The Little Devil". Disney is the movie for teenagers. We have more advantages in the distribution of such movies than other film companies. If "The Devil is the Master" I will hand it over to Disney for distribution. I believe that overseas will be able to achieve better results than North America."

Eric asked quietly: "Mr. Eisner, can I know Disney's offer?"

"12% of the overseas box office is divided, what do you think?"

Eric looked slightly and asked: "Don't Disney want to buy out?"

Michael Eisner shook his head and smiled: "Eric, you would rather sign a gambling agreement with Colombia, and are not willing to accept buyouts. So I will not waste time in this regard."

Eric nodded. "If this is the case, the price is very reasonable. Colombia only gave me an 8% overseas share."

"So, Disney is very sincere, I hope we can cooperate in the future." Michael Eisner smiled and said: "So, Eric, if you agree, I want to sign the licensing agreement as soon as possible, the film's Overseas screening is not as easy as in North America. After signing the agreement, it will take at least a week for the film to appear in foreign theaters. The current popularity of "The Little Devil" is released one day later, and the total box office may lose millions of dollars."

Opposite, quietly listening to Michael Eisner's lobbying Eric's mind quickly analyzed a series of clues, the corner of his mouth suddenly evoked a smug smile, he gradually became clear about Colombia's tricks, although not very clever, however, It is very effective, and if you don't pay attention, you may fall into the trap.

After trying to understand this, Eric finally relaxed, picked up the coffee cup in front of him, gently rubbed the delicate ceramics, and looked up to Michael Eisner: "Mr. Eisner, if I agree, we When will you sign up?"

Michael Eisner noticed that Eric’s expression was a bit strange, but he was happy when he heard him. “Of course, the sooner the better, I will draft the agreement as soon as possible, and I can sign this afternoon.”

Putting down the coffee cup, Eric stared at Michael Eisner: "So, Mr. Eisner, you see if things are like this."

“Hmm?” Michael Eisner is somewhat inexplicable.

Eric said: "Colombia is not willing to gamble on the agreement, so I found you and opened some conditions that you can't refuse. Perhaps because of the interests, maybe because you and Mr. Blount Cohen are good friends, so you agree Because I don't know when you can convince me. To be on the safe side, Colombia has compressed the screening screen for the second week to 1,500, so it will not hesitate to pay the extra 100 screens for the next release."

Michael Eisner listened to Eric's words, first of all, suddenly, a smile, or a young man.

Eric is very satisfied with Michael Eisner's reaction and continues: "The reason for this price is that Colombia is trying to delay the "Ghosts" box office to reach the $50 million deadline and get more lobbying time for you. Because of our gambling agreement, if the final box office is less than 50 million US dollars, all the copyrights of "Little Ghosts" belong to Colombia, and now the box office has not reached 50 million US dollars. All other copyrights of "Little Ghosts" are still part of the gambling content. If I I rushed to sign a licensing agreement with Disney, so that I was the first to default, and Colombia could justifiably use the content of my breach of the gambling contract to tear up the gambling agreement. Are you saying that I am right?"

If the whole thing has nothing to do with yourself, with Michael Eisner's character, I heard Eric's wonderful analysis, and I will definitely applaud. Now, Michael Eisner can only show a slightly awkward smile.

Eric stood up and said: "I don't think we need to continue talking about it, Mr. Eisner."

Michael Eisner also followed up and said: "It is really unnecessary, Eric, but I still have to say that it was a great time to chat with you and hope that we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

"Maybe." Eric nodded. Since the other party didn't hang on to himself, Eric wouldn't face a movie giant: "Mr. Eisner, can you tell me what conditions Colombia has given you?"

Michael Eisner shook his head: "Eric, this is a trade secret."

Eric is undecided and said: "So, Mr. Eisner, can the driver send me back?"

"Of course, no problem," Michael Eisner waved to the assistant not far away and sighed a few words.

Eric has just stepped out of the Hilton Hotel and waited for more than a dozen reporters outside to quickly come over. They have learned through various channels that Eric has just met with Disney President Michael Eisner and is looking forward to interviewing. The meeting content of the two.

Seeing the reporter rushing over, Hilton's security quickly protected Eric. Michael Eisner's driver was about to guard Eric to the parking lot, but Eric stopped.

The reporters were separated by security guards. They were disappointed to think that Eric would leave quietly again. I didn't expect Eric to stop, and the reporters quickly lifted up the camera and the recorder.

"Eric, what have you talked to with Mr. Michael Eisner?"

"Is it related to "Little Ghosts"?"

"Eric, your current two films are for young people, and they fit in with Disney's business philosophy. Are you going to join Disney?"

"Eric..."

"..."

Eric did not answer the questions of the reporters. Both hands pressed and pressed, indicating that everyone was quiet, and then said: "Do you listen to me a few words?"

Since Eric Kenke took the initiative, the reporters quickly quieted down.

"Mr. Eisner just invited me to dinner. We did talk about some things. As for the specific content, it is not convenient to disclose it to everyone here. But we have a very pleasant conversation and maybe there is a possibility of cooperation in the future."

Seeing that the reporters didn't get what they wanted, they swayed again. Eric quickly said: "Don't worry, in fact, I want you to make a statement for me."

The reporters were somewhat confused, but a few clever reporters felt keenly that Eric’s next words would be a heavy news, and he quickly got up and took the recorder in his hand.

“First of all, I am very grateful to Columbia Film Company for helping to release my movie “The Little Devil”. But...”

Eric’s face became serious: “I want to say that because of the gambling agreement I signed earlier, I’m getting a much higher share than the Columbia company, but that’s what I deserve, I’m innocent. Moreover, if the agreement is seriously implemented, Colombia will still receive nearly 50 million US dollars in the North American box office, which accounts for half of Colombia's annual box office profits enough to envy many people. Therefore, I solemnly warned some people. Please take away your greed and stop using some inferior means to tear up the gambling agreement and continue to issue the "Little Ghosts" in strict accordance with the agreement. If the Colombian side violates the gambling agreement again, I don't mind yelling with your court. See you. Although I am still very weak in your eyes, I believe that we are equal before federal law. If you feel that the success of "The Little Devil" and "Return to Seventeen" is not enough to prove anything, then We see the lower part of the film, and we do our best to do it."

Eric’s words were just finished, and the reporters around him were banging.

"Eric, can you say something specific?"

"Eric, you have a plan for the lower film, can you talk about the subject?"

"Eric, are you meeting with Mr. Michael Eisner, is it related to Colombia’s attempt to tear up the agreement?"

"Eric..."

"..."

Eric finished, in the noise, silently under the **** of the security guard, went directly to the parking lot and sat in the car.
