Chapter 294: Good luck
What's more, in the contract signed between Disney and Bruce Joey Robin, there is a clause that must allow Eric to personally serve as the film director. If the designated directors can come up with a solution that makes him happy, Michael Eisner didn't mind that the breach of contract forced the director of Disney to take over the script, but it turned out to be counterproductive, so Michael Eisner made a decisive decision today. After all, if Disney made its own production, the final result was average. It would be better to hand over the script to Eric to make it. After all, Eric still has a very strong box office guarantee.
After sitting in the study for a long time, Michael Eisner took the document in the folder and threw it into the trash can next to it and got out of the door.
......
In mid-March, after more than a month of investigation, the Federal Trade Commissioner announced the results of the monopoly on fireflies and uta, because of the loss of the promotion of several major companies, coupled with a series of public opinion pressures, federal trade. The investigation committee did not impose too much punishment on Eric. In addition to asking Allike to sell all the shares of uta, it is a very symbolic $1 million fine.
After the results were released, Eric did not raise any objections, paid a fine of 10 million US dollars, and sold 90% of the shares of uta to the icm of one of Hollywood's three major brokerage companies for 30 million US dollars.
Almost at the same time, Sony Pictures and Firefly reached a settlement on the division of the "Dark War" project. A week later, Sony made a clear settlement of the more than $88 million in the "Dark War". As for the other three lawsuits carried by Eric, in addition to the two lawsuits, the prosecutor withdrew the lawsuit, and the other lawsuit concerning the sharp-edged land of Malibu disappeared because of the lack of evidence. .
The TV series "X-Files", which Firebug and Fox cooperated with, also started the shooting process. Another program, "Who Will Become a Millionaire," began a huge publicity campaign in early March, although some people in the program were proposing. The first episode of the show can invite some stars as answering guests, but this proposal was directly rejected by Eric. Inviting a star can certainly attract some attention, but in that case, it will also make this show lose its realism. After all, the selling point of this program is that the grassroots is rich overnight. Therefore, the program group still adopts the national sea election method, and has established registration points throughout North America.
Next, Disney announced soon. Will work with Firefly to release Eric Williams' new film, "The Ghosts Are Not Ghosted."
At this point, from the first day of the new year, this Eric, the fire of more than two months against fireflies has completely disappeared.
After a series of prelude awards, the 62nd Academy Awards ceremony was held at the Los Angeles Music Center on March 26, 1990.
Eric's button for the dress was just drilled out of the courtesy car. There was a warm shout on both sides of the red carpet. Eric also faintly heard someone sing the new "new-divide".
All the way smiling and waving at the crowd, Eric alone did not stay too much. As soon as I walked to the red carpet, the reporters in the interview area were extremely disappointed, and. What disappoints them even more is that Eric still does not bring any female companions today, which is a lot less topic.
After all, although Eric is still very young, his status and his family are there. Since breaking up with Aniston, whoever is likely to stay in Eric's 'Freedom City' at the sharp corner of Malibu, It has become a goal that many gossip media are keen to pursue.
If someone can find such a message, you can definitely buy a good price now.
It is about to reach the end of the red carpet. Eric was also stopped by the nbc TV host responsible for the Oscar broadcast, and Eric was invited to the interview area.
"Mr. Williams. Hello, the second time I set foot on the Oscar red carpet. Is there any difference?" The female host in a black dress asked with a microphone.
Eric smiled and said: "Of course, fans have become more enthusiastic, and I would like to thank everyone for their support during this time."
The hostess heard what Eric was referring to and did not continue. After all, nbc was not clear in the turmoil of the previous period: "So Mr. Williams, talk about your expectations for this evening's award, you It’s amazing to get the nominations for the best original script and the best adapted script, and to get a nomination for the best soundtrack.
Eric heard this question and went close to the microphone to say what everyone would say, such as seeing whether the judges liked it or not, and then Eric answered the questions with a patience and presided over the talents. Reluctantly let him go.
Just walking into the waiting area, Eric felt that no amount of light was projected on him. Eric's eyes showed a smile to everyone without a focal length, and then walked toward several movie crews related to fireflies.
The men in several crews are still saying that Jonathan Demi, Al Pacino, Tom Hanks and others are enthusiastically greeted, but several women are somewhat reserved. After all, they can still be filmed by the media. Arrived.
Eric greeted several big men before they looked at the women.
Virginia was quietly standing on the edge of the crowd, with a faint smile on her face and a look of no match.
Nicole looked eager to try, but estimated what it was, so there was no movement in the place, just looking at Eric's eyes with some emotions unabashedly.
As for Julia, at this time intimately holding Elizabeth, the two girls looked at Eric's eyes with inexplicable complex emotions.
After thinking about it, Eric walked over to Julia and Elizabeth: "Juli, Liz, that... Although it may be a little late, I still have to say sorry."
When I heard Eric’s words, Julia took Elizabeth’s arm tightly and tightened back. Elizabeth looked like a little hen, and stepped forward and whispered: “William Mr. Si, you don’t have to apologize. I just hope that you can stay away from us in the future. I and Julia are grateful.”
"This... of course no problem," Eric couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his nose with his index finger. Looking at the two girls' appearances now, he always felt a bit strange, but he didn't know what to blame. But he can be sure that his feelings are absolutely right: "Right, Liz, how come you are here?" Eric asked without a word.
"Oh, of course I have my way," Elizabeth said, pulling Julia, who had never spoken, went straight to the other place.
Others thought that Eric had eaten in front of the two girls, and they all showed a ridiculous look. Eric shrugged unscrupulously and shouted with Nicole, and walked to Virginia in the disappointment of the girl. By the side of Ya.
"Vigie, I am sorry, I didn't go to the premiere of "The Falling Dog" at the beginning of the month." Going to the girl, Eric said with a little apology, as a ghost, Quentin's debut. Because Eric supports, this version of "Down Water Dog" is not as unpredictable as it was in the past, because there is not much publicity in North America.
This version of "Water Dog" not only won the jury special award at the Sundance Film Festival in January because of its unique narrative style, but also opened 500 screens in North America, and also held a small The small premiere, because the brother played in the role of it, Virginia was specially invited to join the game, but also invited Eric, but although the storm has come to an end, Eric still can not be separated Enthusiastic to participate in the premiere of "Water Dog".
After the propaganda of fireflies, the "Falling Water Dog" reached more than 6 million in the first week of the box office. Quentin Tarantino also jumped into the ranks of the first-line directors because of the film's weekly box office of more than 10,000 dollars. He is currently pondering himself. The next script, of course, investors are still fireflies, but Eric doesn't know if Quentin can write "Pulp Fiction." After all, because of Eric's butterfly effect, although "The Dog" is not fanned away by the 'Butterfly' wing, "Pulp Fiction" has been hung a lot. Eric also made up his mind and asked Kunting to take a look at it. If Quentin didn't have this idea, he would make the script himself.
"It doesn't matter, I regretted it later. You must have a lot of things to do. How can you take the time to participate in the premiere? Right, Eric, my brother asked me to thank you for him," Virginia. Ya whispered.
Eric smiled and said that Michael Madsen would not say such a thing, 80% is the girl's own meaning. During this time, he also paid attention to the situation of "Water Dog". After Michael Sanderson's release of "Water Dog", he accepted a talk show for the film propaganda and the crew, and said that he did not want to cooperate with Quentin any more. In front of several other masters, Quentin Tarantino was a **** on the spot. When shooting the scene of killing the kidnapped police officer, because of some lines, Michael Madsen associates his newly born child, almost collapse.
However, Quentin also said on the spot that he likes the evaluation of **** very much. As for whether it is a joke, no one knows.
Because there were too many people, Eric couldn't make any relatives, and chatted with Virginia for a while, and everyone started to enter the Los Angeles concert hall.
"It’s so good, we sat together last time," Eric said as he walked into the hall of the concert hall and sat down, looking at Verginia. (To be continued)
