Chapter 32: Wave
When I got home, Eric saw that the reporters who were outside the door could only call the lawyer to come to their home to discuss the compensation agreement. Although he had already confirmed the Colombian trick, he still felt very careful.
After finishing this, Eric finally remembered that he should call Aniston, and dialed several times in a row, and no one answered. At this time, Aniston should be at home, and some of the concerns Eric put down the phone to make another call, the phone suddenly rang.
"Williams home?" Eric picked up the phone.
"Eric, it's me." The sound of Aniston sounded across the street.
Eric said: "Annie, are you okay? I just called in your apartment, but no one answered."
"I moved to my father to live here, Eric. You still don't know? The paparazzi found our relationship, followed me everywhere, and even knocked on the door of my apartment to send the courier, scared me." Aniston’s voice was still a little scared.
Eric hurriedly said, "Annie, are you okay? Right, when is this? I called you before I got on the plane yesterday. Isn't it okay?"
"I'm fine, Eric. It's just this morning, I don't know how the paparazzi found out. Anyway, I went to the newspaper in the morning, and said... I said..." Aniston's voice was a little unhappy, Eric's heart. I’m sure it’s not a good word. I can only comfort myself: “Well, Annie, you’re fine, you’ll stay with your dad for a while, and the convenience store’s work is quit.”
Aniston complained with dissatisfaction: "Eric, won't it always be like this? How can I live?"
Eric said: "Of course it won't always be like this. It will be better after a while. In fact, I have surrounded a lot of reporters at home. You leave me your father's address, I have time to see you."
Aniston reported the address, and Eric remembered and comforted a few words before he hung up.
......
In a villa in Beverly Hills, Aniston hangs up on the phone, glances at a pile of newspapers that have been smashed into a group, and picks up the pillow on the sofa and hammers it a few times.
In those newspapers, Eric and her relationship were described as the Hollywood version of the prince and Cinderella, while exaggerating Eric while degrading themselves, almost all newspapers are not optimistic about the future of two people, and even some newspapers will her and Drew took a look at it and found that Drew was better suited to be Eric's girlfriend than her.
In the end, Aniston gradually developed a sense of inferiority and uneasiness. In her heart, Eric was so good, and she was so ordinary.
Now, he is about to become the youngest billionaire in Hollywood, but he is the ‘convenience store salesman’ in the newspaper. The gap between the two is getting bigger and bigger.
......
Eric didn't know the entanglement in Aniston's mind. After waiting for half an hour, the lawyer responsible for the gambling agreement came over.
"Hello, Mr. Edward, thank you for coming in person." Eric will be responsible for the gambling agreement lawyer Edward Lewis and his assistants into the room and said.
Edward Lewis quickly reached out and shook with Eric, with a little respect in his tone: "Eric, I can't think of "The Devil's Home" will be so hot, congratulations. This is my assistant, Carter."
Three people sat down on the sofa, and Eric took out the compensation agreement given by Colombia and said the story.
Edward Lewis quietly listened to Eric’s narrative and took the compensation agreement and looked at it in detail. After a few minutes, “Eric, there is no problem with this agreement, you can sign it with confidence.”
"That's good," Eric nodded with confidence and took the pen and signed it directly.
Edward Lewis looked at Eric and hesitated. "Eric, I think, maybe you need a team of full-time lawyers who are responsible for your day-to-day legal affairs."
"Well?" Eric heard Edward Lewis's self-recommendation and smiled and looked up.
Edward Lewis looked at Eric's smile and no longer snarled. He said directly: "I feel that my affairs are all powerful enough to take charge of this matter, Eric. From your narrative, you can know if If you are not alert enough, you may face a situation in which the gambling agreement is torn. So, I feel that my law firm team can be your agent and fully responsible for the next negotiations with Colombia, even if Colombia is again In breach of contract, we can work hard to make a lawsuit for you and guarantee your interests."
From the time when the gambling agreement was drafted, Eric had seen the professional qualities of Edward and his team of lawyers. And Eric knew that he really needed a team of full-time lawyers and talked a few words. The two sides quickly reached an agreement. Edward Lewis took out a proxy agreement that was already prepared, and Eric took the opportunity to sign his name.
"Then, the next thing will be handed over to you, Edward, this compensation agreement will be transferred to Colombia by you. I really don't want to deal with each other."
"Okay, Eric, if there is nothing else, we will leave."
After sending Edward and his assistant, Eric finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then he can concentrate on his favorite movie career.
He is very reassured by Edward Lewis's office. After all, the other party is only his own agent and has no power to make decisions for himself. If the other party conspires with Colombia to calculate itself, then once the matter is revealed, in the country where credit is extremely important, the career of the entire firm’s entire firm is completely destroyed, and Colombia is not likely to provide the support. The price code for the rest of your life.
Eric is really worried, but Colombia is caught in the whirlpool of public opinion because of Eric’s statement.
Because of Eric's statement, many newspapers that have already been finalized have been re-typed again. After all, this news is too hot. In the evening, the statement that Eric condemned Colombia appeared in the newspaper. A variety of analysis speculations quickly appeared in all media, and in order to increase sales, most newspapers chose to ignite.
After the publication of Eric's original statement, these newspapers began to analyze word by word, and it must be said that the power of brain supplement is strong.
Some newspapers somehow linked Eric’s statement to Michael Eisner. Eric did a little bit of Michael Eisner before the statement, saying that the two people had a good time and had the opportunity to cooperate. This led the newspaper to speculate that Michael Eisner played a positive role in uncovering Colombia's 'inferior means'.
Michael Eisner was still hesitant to tell his old friend that Eric had already poked the tricks of both sides. The first time I saw the news in the newspaper, I quickly called Bronte Cohen to explain, but the other party apparently did not believe it.
Michael Eisner can only smile, he also knows the character of Blount Cohen's suspicious, sighs that this friendship is exhausted, but in my heart, there is no doubt that Eric has not complained too much, but more appreciation.
Some newspapers quickly found out that this week’s "Little Ghosts" screen only had more than 1,500 screens, and even less than 1,600 pieces of "returning to seventeen years old" that had increased the number of screens. This discovery made the media fall to the ground. Crazy from Colombia, and began to question the integrity of the Colombian company.
The media controlled by other film companies had already swallowed the cake of "Little Ghosts" in Colombia, and they tried to condemn them. They even called on fans in some tabloids to boycott Colombia and refuse to watch movies produced in Colombia.
After the news appeared in the newspaper, the Colombian company's public hotline was directly blown up by people with a sense of justice. Several female employees who were responsible for answering the public phone were all cried out, two of them the next morning. A letter of resignation was submitted.
After the president of Colombia, Blount Cohen, smashed everything in the office, he still reluctantly called the public relations executives to meet and discuss the response strategy.
In the evening, a television station controlled by Colombia issued a statement to clarify the number of screens for the week of "The Little Devil", and announced the compensation agreement between the two parties, while suggesting that Eric’s attempt to tear up Colombia’s attempt The agreement was purely due to the fact that the dispute on the screen number made Eric a bad association.
However, because Eric did not stand up to make a corresponding response, the media and the public generally did not believe in Colombia's explanation.
