Chapter 287: It’s too fake.

Chapter 287: It’s too fake.

I was reminded by the waiter that Eric stood up, but saw that there was more than Murdoch alone, and Elizabeth, who was holding his father, and the girl looked at him with a touch of blame, obviously Elizabeth knew Eric’s meeting place was chosen here to make his father feel embarrassed.

After all, it was a woman who had a close relationship with herself, so Elizabeth’s scornful expression made Eric a little embarrassed.

Since Eric has survived this crisis, Murdoch has repeatedly asked to meet with Eric because of the "Friends" lawsuit and the "Who will become a millionaire" and "x file". After Eric took a bit of it, he agreed to it and refused to go to the Murdoch family estate. He did not invite Murdoch to his own sharp-edged manor in Malibu, and the meeting was chosen on Sunset Boulevard. In this restaurant in the downtown area, not only that, Eric also specifically told the paparazzi.

As long as Murdoch’s initiative to contact him is exposed, then the media will not only think that Fox is taking the initiative to bow to Eric, and several other major movie companies will definitely have a bad idea for Fox, treating Fox as A traitor to the big league of the seven major companies.

But Murdoch is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp. Not only will the daughter who has a relationship with him be pulled up, but also pretend to be a poor figure that needs to be supported by the elderly. It is estimated that after some media rendering, Eric will certainly be shaped into a young and incompetent person, let an old man personally come to the door and beg for a good look.

In my heart, I was helpless. Eric really wanted to pick up a cup of coffee and pour it on Murdoch’s head. It’s too fake. The old guy is still less than sixty years old. As a passerby, Eric clearly remembers that the previous Murdoch was still in his 80s.

Murdoch saw Erik's look. The mouth was hung with an unclear smile, and came to Eric to take the initiative and said: "Eric, hello. We met again."

"Hello, Mr. Murdoch." Eric and Murdoch shook hands and looked at Elizabeth, who was next to Murdoch. The girl gave him a blank eye, but did not want to say hello to Eric.

"Liz, don't be so rude," Murdoch said, though he was very satisfied with Eric's eating in front of his daughter, but on the surface he pretended to be a strict father.

Elizabeth turned her dissatisfied look to her father. Although she insisted on Eric’s insistence on the location, she had a lot of opinions. However, he did not agree with his father's practice. He snorted and ignored the two men who had more eyes than the horse's nest. They walked straight to the table and sat down, picking up the menu and looking at themselves.

Murdoch and Eric looked at each other at the same time.

"Mr. Murdoch, let's sit down too." In the end, Eric first opened his mouth.

Murdoch nodded and sat down. The three men ordered the dishes and silenced for a while. Murdoch took the initiative to find a topic: "Liz. How was the movie you prepared?"

Originally, she lowered her head and folded the napkin in front of her. Elizabeth, who made up her mind and did not speak, heard her father ask herself directly, and said with a sigh of relief: "All are ready. Start shooting at the end of the month."

"Oh," Murdoch nodded. "I heard that the heroine is that... Judy Foster, it looks like a good acting. This movie is definitely wonderful."

Elizabeth looked up at Eric and said, "Yes, someone recommended me to let Judy Foster starred in the heroine. After the audition, I felt pretty good. I promised it."

Murdoch saw his daughter squatting at Eric, and he didn't have to think about who the person who recommended the heroine. Looking at Eric with a smile: "Eric, if you want this movie, it will be released by fireflies."

Eric picked up his eyebrows. Before he even said anything, Elizabeth glanced dissatisfiedly at his father: "Dad!"

Eric followed and said: "Mr. Murdoch, it doesn't matter if the firefly is released. However, our overseas channels are not perfect, and I am afraid it will limit the box office results of this movie."

Eric finally said a truth-telling truth, Murdoch made Eric’s words a proof that he was not optimistic about the film. He knew that Firefly’s distribution ability was limited, and that Eric did not want to use limited resources. In a movie that I am not very optimistic about, I will reject it so euphemistically.

In fact, Murdoch himself also saw the script of the daughter, Silent Lamb, as a producer. After all, Elizabeth’s film investment was nearly 20 million, except for Julia and Drew. In addition to millions, all other investments are made by Elizabeth to his father. Murdoch’s desire to control is extremely strong. In parallel, he is still more than 80 years old and still refuses to give the power of News Corp. Children, but in other respects, such as the economy, but never ill-treated to their children, Elizabeth found the life goal of being a filmmaker, Murdoch is of course willing to support, and quickly took advantage of this investment, as for earning He did not consider it at all, and he was the ability to exercise his daughter.

Moreover, although Murdoch doesn't know much about movies, he also knows that this script is a cut-type limited-level horror film. This type of movie rarely gets a high box office, and it is difficult to get recognition for the award. . So he just opened the proposal to let Eric's fireflies release the film. As for the purpose, it is still the original one. If you want to match Eric with Elizabeth, Eric now has the biggest crisis. In the future, as long as If you can become a husband of your daughter, you will definitely have great benefits to News Corp. In the future, when Eric is attacked, his daughter will still be with himself. After a quarrel, Murdoch also determined that the daughter has a good impression on Eric, and the degree is quite deep. Since there is such a foundation, then of course, more contact, it is possible to bear fruit, isn't it?

Thinking of this, Murdoch smiled at Eric: "Eric is just a horror film. The new line was not originally dedicated to the release of horror films, so I believe that fireflies can operate well if the future It is really necessary to issue overseas, and Fox will definitely cooperate."

Murdoch was so ‘good’, Eric certainly couldn’t refuse any more. He turned to Elizabeth, but saw the girl’s sullen head down, folded a napkin in her hand, and then tore it into a glimpse.

"Liz, what do you mean?" Eric asked, tempted.

The girl snorted and said, "Let's do it."

"That's it," said Eric and Elizabeth, and Murdoch said as a parent.

Seeing Murdoch said that Elizabeth did not object, and Eric nodded.

At this time, the restaurant's waiters began to serve three people, and the conversation was short-lived. When the waiter opened the red wine for three people, Murdoch took a goblet and took a sip. I praised Eric for nothing, "Eric, were you born in 1970?"

The meat is coming.

Eric thought so, on the surface, he showed the look of memories: "Yeah, I was born in London, but when I was eight, I came to the United States, and I have no memory of London."

"If you have time, you should go back and look at it," Murdoch said with emotion: "I remember that more than 30 years ago, when Liz's grandfather died of a heart attack, I had to give up my studies and come back to take over the family affairs. Nothing is bigger than you. At that time, the newspaper industry in Sydney was held by three big families. When I saw the performance of the Sunday Post and the News, which I run, the idea of ​​these two newspapers was played. After the invitation to buy, I refused many times, I began to use a variety of means. Within a year, the newspaper companies I run were blamed and litigated for almost a few years before, and, I I even received a death threat. But I did not give in and spent a full 20 years, not only to develop my newspaper company into Sydney's largest media group, but also to buy the company I once enemies."

Although Murdoch saw Eric pretending to be a casual appearance, he knew that Eric was definitely listening to himself, so he continued: "So, Eric, what you have experienced during this time, It’s normal. So, I think you still have to look ahead, don’t always care about it.”

Eric smiled and looked up: "Of course I look forward, Mr. Murdoch, otherwise, we won't be sitting here so peacefully today."

"So," Murdoch tempted to say: "Remove the lawsuit against "Friends", and "X-Files" can not be anxious, but it is scheduled to be broadcast in March, "Who will become Millionaire, now at the end of February, the whole team has not had any movements, Eric, I think you should be hurrying. I think, from now on for a month of publicity, after the end of the Oscars ceremony, Launching this program will be a very good time."

"I think so too," Eric swallowed the food in his mouth and wiped it with a napkin. He stared at Murdoch. "But, Mr. Murdoch, you just said, you became the Australian newspaper. After the group's first, it bought the enemy you used to in turn... Then, what happened this time, the five movies at the end of the firefly, because of this storm, the box office loss will not add up to less than 100 million US dollars, fireflies Therefore, the loss is not less than 30 million, but I still don't know who my enemy is?"
