Chapter 91: Amy's invitation
Eric originally had the intention of finding a manager, but it was not an easy task. Although he has not yet got a share of any film, no one can deny that he is now worth more than 100 million US dollars.
And only Eric knows that the "Jurassic Park" copyright in his hands, Pixar Studio and his plans to continue to win the next generation of 'gold mines' will make his assets easy in the future. Break through the tens of billions of dollars.
In this case, he could not hand over the assets in his hands to an outsider. The ethics of this kind of thing, only in the absence of enough lure and temptation, will someone stick to it.
It’s not uncommon for a Hollywood star to be deceived by his own financial manager. The past Nicholas Cage’s bankruptcy incident, although not related to Cage’s personal squandering character, is not to say that his financial manager is 'out of power’. This kind of thing is not easy to happen.
The more confusing the employer’s financial situation, the easier it is to fish in the water. The accounts are well organized and the assets are added to the employers. The financial managers can only get the rewards that belong to their own points.
Returning to Los Angeles with Edward's free ride, Eric went to the Hilton Hotel parking lot to retrieve his car and drove directly to the Firefly headquarters.
During the time when Eric left Los Angeles, Jeffrey had already taken the adaptation rights of "Woman Fragrance", and Eric had not had time to write the script of "Scent of Women". Jeffrey also raised another issue, the financial situation of fireflies.
The filming of "Fengyue" has already spent the funds invested by Eric into the company, and to get the film share, as usual, after the film is down. Although it has a good relationship with Fox, Eric can be sure that if he talks to Barry Diller because of this matter, the other party will definitely talk to him about business.
And Eric took the $50 million loan from the "Little Devil's Home" contract, bought Pixar for 20 million, and left 10 million as the pre-fund of "Toy Story", now only two Tens of millions of dollars.
The money didn't even invest enough in his next movie, let alone Eric's plans for several other movies.
Eric signed a $20 million check and handed it to the company's finance manager, and then told Jeffrey: "This way, first prepare for "Scent of Women", I will drive the script out these days."
"What about your movie?"
Eric shrugged: "Only I can continue to borrow."
Anyway, I have borrowed it once. This kind of thing, even if I just started to resist, I got used to it by borrowing. Anyway, he will not let other film companies intervene in their movie projects for the time being.
"Right, Jeffrey, this is a script I accidentally saw. The director is Herbert Rose. I am still in the casting stage. I heard that the budget of this movie is not very loose, you contact. Look at him, see if he can win this project, Firefly is willing to invest together, and can also convince Julia Roberts to join the film."
Jeffrey looked at the split-screen script that Eric handed over and read a few paragraphs. He didn't see anything special. However, he did not raise any objections. Until now, he no longer doubts Eric’s vision in the movie. As Eric said, he is more suitable for the role of producer, and the content of the film is still handed over to Eric for full decision.
"No problem, I will contact Herbert Rose as soon as possible."
In the morning, I had to deal with things that he had to ask. Eric was planning to go home. Jeffrey knocked on the door and walked into his office: "Eric, remember Amy Pascal?"
"Of course, it is not her words, "Little Ghosts" is not likely to be released so smoothly. Speaking, I have not been able to thank Amy."
"She called," Jeffrey said, pulling up Eric: "I haven't hung up yet, looking for you."
Eric quickly got up and followed Jeffrey to his office.
"Amy?... I haven't seen you for a long time. I always wanted to say thank you to you. Unfortunately, last time you suddenly resigned... Of course, no problem... Then, see you later."
Hanging up the phone, Eric and Jeffrey looked at each other.
Jeffrey took the lead in saying what he knew: "Amy returned to Colombia, and temporarily served as vice president. Blount Cohen has left, and I heard that I retired early and went to France."
"She just told you?"
Jeffrey nodded. "I talked to her a few words before, what did Amy look for?"
"Say it is to invite me to dinner,"
The two talked a few words and didn't figure out what the clues were. Eric looked at the watch and said, "Then I will go to the appointment first, Jeffrey, "Scent of the Woman" and "Steel Magnolia". I will hand it over to you. I will be driving the script at home in the next few days. I will not come to the company. I will call me if I have something."
"No problem," Jeffrey said, and the two walked out of the office side by side.
......
Coming to the agreed restaurant, Eric found that Amy Pascal had been waiting there. The girl was dressed in a black professional suit, and the shoulder-shouldered blonde became a wave. It was said that the haircut of the woman showed her mood, and Eric did not see what the hairstyle represented.
The two gently hugged, Eric said: "Sorry, Amy, traffic jam on the road, let you wait for me here."
"It doesn't matter," Amy Pascal said with a smile. "You are not late, it is too early for me."
The two sat down at the table together, and Amy Pascal handed the menu to Eric: "What do you want to eat?"
Eric took it and suddenly smiled: "It feels weird, the order of the two of us is completely reversed, and the sentence should be correct for me."
"Forget it, big boy, I said that I have a treat for this meal, don't be masculine."
Eric shrugged and did not refute, Amy Pascal did not have much contact with him, the other party did not know the mature side of his character, so he used to treat his young people in this age to speak to him. Nothing wrong.
Just ordered a lunch, Eric handed the menu to Amy, the girl did not look at the menu, skillfully said his request, and then handed the menu to the waiter.
"Do you often come here to eat?"
“Yeah, the food here tastes good.”
Amy was not in a hurry to explain the intention of inviting Eric. Eric was not in a hurry until the two of them had lunch together, chatting casually about topics such as weather and current affairs until they had used lunch and changed into coffee. Amy just said her purpose.
