Chapter 358: Production reduction
A few people around me laughed. The fat man who seemed to be a producer of Fox said: "Eric, I have several scripts there, or I will send it to Sharp Point Estate tomorrow. You can help us. These projects are still under consideration. If you can pick one out, the heroine will set up Miss Connelly."
The fat man just finished, the other people who were watching the excitement were keenly aware that this was a very good opportunity. Although it was not easy for Eric to write the script himself, let Eric help to pick the script. It only takes a heroine, which is a very profitable thing.
"Eric, I am here..."
"Eric, I am also making people tomorrow..."
Realizing this, several executives around the company immediately put down their shackles and actively recommended them.
"How can you do this," Amy Pascal, who was squeezed aside, reluctantly complained.
I noticed that many people at the party looked curiously. Eric gestured around and made a squeaking action. The few people in front of him were smart people. They knew that there was not much chance when things spread. I closed my mouth very interestingly.
"That way, you can send the script to me, but if I let me choose, I need 30% of the investment. Of course, I only invest and don't intervene in other things."
Several people looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Eric participated in the investment. In the future, this gimmick can be used for publicity. As an investor, you can't say anything about hanging an executive film.
Eric quickly saw the thoughts of several people and immediately said: "I will invest in the name of Jane. Let me say first. The film production has nothing to do with me. You can't use my name to promote."
After a short hesitation, the people quickly agreed, and Eric was personally responsible for selecting the script and participating in the film investment. Also letting his woman sit on the heroine fully demonstrates his affirmation of the film. If you finally mess up, you can only find the reason for yourself.
After discussing this matter, Eric quickly tried and asked: "Yes, what was the last time the script was cut off, what is it because of it. I don't believe it because I said a few more words?" ”
Everyone looked at Jennifer Connelly in unison, and the girl narrowed her neck innocently, not understanding what happened.
Amy Pascal smiled and said: "Eric, you don't have to think about sophistry, although there are some other factors. But those projects are cut off because of your sake."
Eric's spreader: "Well, what other factors are you talking about?"
Amy Pascal said: "I cut production, I don't know what other film companies plan, but Colombia has decided to cut production, Pat, what about you?"
"Our part is also, but it is still not certain. Mr. Ross thinks that it is unlikely to be played."
"I think it is very likely that I will fight."
Eric interrupted: "Sorry, can you explain?"
Amy saw Eric's expression. Said: "Eric, if you pay attention to the latest international news, you should find that the situation in the Middle East is very tense. The federal government may use force against Iraq. The time should be in the next year, if that is the case. Attention will definitely focus on the war, and it is imperative for film companies to cut production."
Eric was shocked.
the Gulf War!
I have forgotten such an important time.
I saw Eric suddenly in a daze. Amy asked with concern: "Eric, you are fine. In fact, the war may not be able to fight. After so many wars, the anti-war sentiment of the people is still very high. The Bush administration cannot completely ignore the public opinion. Forced to launch a war."
"I'm fine, sorry, I'm missing," Eric smiled, and pulled Jennifer Connelly next to him, and they walked outside the crowd.
"Eric, what's wrong?"
Eric continued to walk with the girl and said: "Jane, we have to go back, I suddenly remembered something very important."
Jennifer Connelly nodded in obedience and followed Eric to some people, leaving the Hilton quickly.
Back to the sharp corner manor, Eric confessed to the girl to go to sleep, and then found the newspapers of recent days, directly into the study.
It took an hour or two to read the international news that was swept away in detail several times. Sure enough, during the period, the New York Times and the Washington Post and many other newspapers in the Middle East. Eric can also figure out a context.
The matter is very simple. Iraq and Iran fought for two years in the Iran-Iraq war. They did not stop until the second half of 1988. The result of this war was both losses. At the same time, Iraq’s debts were high and owed millions of dollars in loans from the Middle East countries. Among them, only one country in Kuwait, Iraq owes $14 billion.
This money is definitely not up to Iraq. In the end, Iraq has arbitrarily demanded that Kuwait waive this arrears because of their contribution to the Arab countries.
It is of course impossible for Kuwait to agree. Eventually the two sides started negotiations and the negotiations have now entered the final stage.
Of course, this is just what you know now.
According to the memory brought by previous lives, the negotiations finally broke down. It was followed by Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait. It took Saddam only eight hours to occupy Kuwait and declared Kuwait the 19th province of Iraq. The time should be August 2, 1990. There is only one month left before, and after Kuwait was occupied for half a year, on January 17, 1991, the Gulf War broke out. The United States-led coalition* took only 42 days. It will be taken across Kuwait.
During the previous Gulf War, Eric had already entered junior high school. Although he was no longer as ignorant as a child, he did not care about current affairs when he was in college. Most of the information about this war was only after school, and occasionally Adults read a few paragraphs of news, or from other people's talks, so this part of the memory is very fragmented.
However, as long as you remember a few of the main dates, it is enough. Although this space has more of his own butterfly, he believes that with his current strength, it certainly cannot affect the progress of this war, then he It is possible to get the most benefit from this war as much as possible based on memory.
