Chapter 275: Urge
Cooperation?
Upon hearing this question, Eric thought about it and shook his head. Although he had another soul in his heart, he did not feel any obligation to help Hong Kong movies into Hollywood.
Moreover, there are not many examples of successful cooperation between Hollywood and Hong Kong films. There is only one series of "Rush Hour" in memory. But this movie is obviously not suitable for now. Former Jack. Cheng has passed several movies. After paving the way, after the famous in Hollywood, the "Rush Hour" series was launched, and fortunately, it just happened to be accurate to the appetite of Westerners. Now Jack Cheng is in the middle of Asia, but he is not famous in Hollywood. Ask him to star in "Rush Hour" and then find a Hollywood Chinese actress. There is not much difference, but the other party's film is folded into the US dollar but with Hollywood. The stars are almost the same.
"Mr. Zou, I don't think it is a good time to cooperate. I have some understanding of the history of your film company. Jiahe's star, Jack. Cheng, tried to enter Hollywood in the early 1980s, but several attempts failed. I think he will certainly not easily abandon his status and career in Hong Kong now, and rush to Hollywood to develop it?"
Mr. Zou pondered Eric’s words, his eyes showed disappointment and helplessness. Eric said it was really good. Hong Kong movies are now in an explosive period. Jack Cheng has had a lesson from previous failures. Agree to come to Hollywood for development. In addition to Jack Cheng, he can't get other actors. After all, only Chinese Kung Fu can be used to attract Hollywood interest. Even this big-handed "Ninja Turtle" is actually a scorpion with some kung fu. The four ninja turtles in the movie are played by Hong Kong martial artists.
"This is really a pity." Mr. Zou shook his head and said that although he also had some thoughts on participating in Eric's film investment, this young man is the director of Hollywood's most popular movies this year. There are so many people in Hollywood who want to invest in his movies. It is impossible for an outsider such as Jiahe to participate in a piece of the pie.
Finish eating the food in front of you. Eric said goodbye to Mr. Zou before he got up and left. Just a few steps away, a tall woman in a black dress walked over to Eric with a glass of red wine, and it looked like the old one.
Really unrealistic, Eric smiled helplessly, slightly sideways, quickly reaching out to hold the girl's wrist, and the other hand picked up the red wine in the other hand. The woman who turned red on her face lifted it: "This lady, thank you for your red wine."
The girl saw her intentions and was seen. Although she was awkward, she immediately seized the opportunity and said: "No...you are welcome, Mr. Williams, my name is..."
The girl is about to introduce herself. Eric sticks a finger to the girl's red lips and looks directly at the girl's slightly scorpion. She said, "This lady, I have heard a very philosophical word. 'Why don’t you meet each other,' so don’t you mention your name?”
When Eric took back his finger, the girl nodded. "That... well. Mr. Williams, have you been fortunate to dance with you?"
Eric shook his head: "Sorry, miss."
The girl didn't dare to be too entangled. She turned and walked away. Eric was about to leave. A slightly screaming voice rang in her ear: "Why must I meet each other, Eric, then we met for the first time, why? Will you leave me in the office?"
"Because we are ‘have a chance to meet each other’.” Eric turned and smiled and looked at Nicole. At this time, the girl refused to look like a glamorous look, and there was no wolverine in the study.
See Eric licking his face. Nicole screamed like Eric, and whispered in a tone of hate: "The next time you think about it... I want to let me do that again."
Eric shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you wish, Nicole, I want to know that I am a very pity, and I will never force a woman to do anything."
Nicole bit her lip in an angry way, remembering that in the study, Eric tightened his face and prevented her from dodging. He almost couldn't help but splash the red wine on Eric's face.
"You are too shameless."
"My favorite woman praises me so much," Eric laughed. "Miss Kidman, can you dance with you?"
Nicole hesitated, and handed the little hand to Eric. When the man pulled himself to the dance floor, Nicole couldn’t help but ask: "Why refuse the lady named 'no name'? This is not like you. Character."
"Because I don't like her eyebrows, do you accept this reason?" Eric slammed the girl's waist in the dance floor.
Nicole followed the man's strength and put his body close to Eric. He retorted: "Ghosts, I think you are jealous that Jane is here."
"Then, you are so close, you are not afraid of what kind of association Jane will see?"
"Of course not, because Jane went outside." Even so, Nicole couldn't help but look around.
Seeing Nicole's reaction, Eric smirked again: "Nicone, do you think that our conversation is like a couple of adulterers?"
"You can be really dirty."
"Hey, you started to praise me again. This is not good. Men are very exaggerated. How about going to see my study again?"
Nicole put her red lips on Eric and threatened: "As long as you are not afraid of being seen, I have no opinion at all, but if it is exposed, I will bravely grab the man with Jane."
"Wow, that's still it," Eric seemed to think of some terrible things. Pretending to have a cold war, he didn't mention it.
The hot party has been going to end until midnight, and Eric has used the top floor of the master bedroom that can watch the Malibu landscape at 360 degrees without a dead end, and the little girl is half-pushing. Stayed.
The next day, Eric went to see the "Ninja Turtle" with Robert Shea and Mr. Zou from Hong Kong. Actually, because of the baptism of countless special effects movies in the past, Eric looked at this. The "Ninja Turtle", a special effect of the 'five cents', has the urge to get up and leave several times.
Because I already know the box office results, it is too easy to look for the advantages of this movie. Therefore, after reading it, Eric still endured the discomfort of the heart and boasted the film. Let Robert safely release the power of the film. After all, no one will be too far from the dollar.
With Eric's affirmation, Robert Shea assured that the film's release date was set during Easter, although this schedule is not as good as the summer file, but it is quite good. Besides, the summer file must be reserved for the film. Although the new line of "Ninja Turtles" also has some investment, it is still not a biological one.
After discussing the "Ninja Turtles", Eric just left the screening room and saw Allen waiting outside, see Eric coming out and said: "Eric, Disney's president Frank Wells and William Bell, President of Fox TV, is waiting for you."
"They came together, did you say anything?" Eric asked doubtfully.
Allen shook his head: "Not coming together, not saying anything about you."
Eric looked at his watch and said, "Let's go."
When I came to my office, Eric saw two middle-aged people sitting in the lounge chatting, and greeted them. I wanted to invite two people to go to my office, but Frank Wells and William Bell looked at each other and didn't mean to be together. Eric realized that the purpose of the two people looking for themselves was different. They looked around and suggested: "Or, Mr. Bell, you should rest here for a while. ""
"No problem, Eric, I don't have anything in the morning anyway." William Bell smiled and sat back on the sofa.
With Frank Wells walking into the office, Eric asked the other person's intentions.
"This is the case, Eric, have you not promised the distribution rights of a Disney movie before, Mr. Eisner asked me to discuss this matter, and signed the contract by the way, so that Disney can also put the release plan into next year. In the work."
Eric thought about it and said: "Sorry, Mr. Wells, I haven't decided what film to shoot next year, so how about waiting for the New Year? Don't worry, I promise to give Disney a movie. Distribution rights."
Frank Wells remembered when he came, Michael Eisner's embarrassment, said: "Eric, in fact, this is OK, can we sign an intent contract first, you do not need to provide a specific film plan As long as you can make sure that you can give a movie to Disney next year. Just like... Like the three movie contracts you gave to Fox last year, I remember that you didn’t discuss with Fox in advance, except for "Little Ghost 2". The content of the other two movies, isn’t it?”
Eric spread his hand and said: "Frank, you have to know, fireflies are not the small workshop a year ago, so I can't take the liberty to promise you. Many things need to be planned. Since you talked about last year, I The contract with Fox is also sure to know some of the storms that have occurred during the period, so I will plan for next year's plan to ensure that I will sign a contract with Disney."
Frank Wells said a few more words, seeing Eric not let go, then left in disappointment. The six ceos who have been discussing in Malibu have so far known very few people. In order to ensure that the secrets are not leaked, except for the six ceo, there are only some people directly responsible for the execution. And Michael Eisner did not inform Frank Wells about this, so Frank Wells also felt that Eric gave the reason enough to get back to explain to Michael Eisner. (To be continued)
