Chapter 366: I heard that you need money.
"Well, 80 million is 80 million," Eric quickly wanted to understand the situation of Murdoch. Although News Corp. is firmly controlled by Murdoch, the Murdoch family has only 40% of the shares. If Murdoch wants to take away all liquidity like Eric’s treatment of fireflies, it will certainly be strongly opposed by other shareholders.
"Eric, I have to withdraw 80 million dollars in ten days. I need to give shareholders a full explanation. If you fail to pay the money before the end of the year, I hope to convert this money into a stake in fireflies. What do you think of 10%?"
"5%, fireflies are now worth the price," although Eric decided to pay the money within three months, but he was not willing to take risks.
Murdoch immediately shook his head: "No, Eric, 5 percent, I can't explain to the shareholders. I heard that you have opened a shell making company..."
Two people, you come to me to bargain, and finally set an 8% agreement.
Determined the deal, one old and one less out of the study, I heard Elizabeth laugh and laugh in the hall.
"Liz, do you want to take my house off with a sonic attack?" Asked two women sitting at the floor-to-ceiling window, Eric asked jokingly.
"I just want to take you off," Elizabeth, who was watching the script on the couch, sat up and let her father sit down, and gave Eric a white eye.
Eric walked down to Connery and sat down and asked the girl: "What are you just laughing at?"
"It's a script that mimics Tom Cruise's "Top Gun", but it's really a comedy route, and the plot is very... jump off." Connelly thought about it and thought of a suitable one. Adjective.
Eric dismissed with some disdain and debuted: "It is also "Top Gun", which movie is so easy to copy. Although the film claimed to cost no more than 20 million US dollars, it was fully supported by the military at that time. In the case, it is a conscription video in itself..."
As he spoke, Eric suddenly remembered something, and said to Elizabeth: "Liz, let me see the script."
Elizabeth handed over the script, and Eric looked at the English title and didn't recognize it for a while. But after reading a few pages, I quickly remembered the movie.
The script in the hand is the famous American nonsense comedy "The Fighting Condor". In the memory, this movie is starring Charlie Xin, the hero of "Two and a Half Men". The movie is enough to conceive a "Top Gun" Similar to the main line, but the content is spoofed to the extreme. Not only did many classic Hollywood films be imitated, but also a lot of mockery of famous politicians and events in recent years.
In the early 1990s, most of Hollywood's comedies were still in the middle of the law. Therefore, the spoof of the "Fighting Condor", which went completely to collapse, immediately caused a sensation.
Noting that Eric saw the change in the look after the script, Murdoch, who was not too concerned about it, was curious and whispered, and Elizabeth came to his father and said, "It's Fox's script."
I heard this sentence. The old fox immediately relaxed, and poured himself a cup of coffee on his own, patiently waiting for Eric to open the script.
"Eric. This script is what I saw first?" Eric looked up, and Elizabeth immediately said.
Eric handed the script to Connery, and said to Elizabeth: "The script has been set up. Are you going to dig the corner of Fox?"
"Oh, of course I won't do this, but don't forget what you just said. Let me pick a script. I know that you have a 30% share of the investment, let me."
Eric gave the girl a ‘I’ve just said anything?’ expression. Elisabeth almost jumped up.
After lunch, send Murdoch father and daughter. Eric began to go to the Firefly headquarters to prepare for the premiere of "The Ghosts" night.
With regard to "The Fighting Condor", Elizabeth then robbed Eric a few words and gave up the request for Eric's capital. Although the girl had some temper, she was very savvy in the big things and would not be unreasonable.
There are two female characters in the "Fighting Condor", a psychoanalyst, this is the female No.1, and the other is the female pilot nicknamed 'Inner Clothes'. Among a lot of strong men, this one The role is still eye-catching, but there are not many lines. Although Connery was not satisfied with the two roles, Eric had already selected the script, and the girl chose the female No. 1 character with obedience.
The North American release of "Ghosts and Ghosts" is a combination of Disney and Firefly. It has a huge momentum, with 2,300 theaters and a grand premiere at the Chinese Grand Theatre in Hollywood.
Less than six o'clock in the afternoon, the star on the long red carpet in front of the Chinese Grand Theatre has begun to appear. Although a few streets are the premiere of "Die Hard 2", "The ghosts are gone." The premiere of the movie is obviously more star-studded. In addition to the stars invited by Disney and Firefly, the family of the heroes of "Ghosts" is also making efforts. The Coppola family and the Fonda family have spared no effort in supporting the careers of the younger generation. The connections of the two families are enough to circle half of Hollywood.
"Wow, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro are coming together."
"If Jack Nicholson and Dustin Hoffman come over again, that's amazing."
"It's not easy, it's not bad to be able to come."
......
"Look, Judy Foster!"
"It's still pretty, it's a pity. I heard that she became gay."
"It’s just a rumor."
"The things of Sinclair were very irritating to her. If I were, I would change my sexuality."
......
"That is James Cameron. I heard that "Terminator 2" has already started. I am looking forward to it. Is the woman around him his wife?"
"It's beautiful, and very temperament, it is estimated to be an actor."
......
"Snow, how come she is here?"
"She worked with Nicolas Cage three years ago on "The Moonlight", I heard that the two are good friends."
"I still prefer her to sing."
"..."
"..."
Almost every few minutes on the red carpet, there was a star figure that surprised the fans, causing bursts of screams and arguments.
The fans on both sides of the original red carpet were only a few hundred people, but less than half an hour, the fans who got the news had already smashed the entire street, and even many of them were originally participating in the premiere of "Die Hard 2". Fans have come over and made Fox's face extremely incompetent.
As a director, Eric did not even have time to show up on the red carpet, he had to start a lot of guests who came to the entertainment, it is estimated that at this time, those fans who have been dizzy by the starlight will not care about his director. Did it appear on the red carpet?
"Eric, I deliberately went to the screening, this film was very good, especially the echo of the first two paragraphs of music, directly to the theme of this film to the extreme," from the "Godfather 3" film deliberately Francis Coppola came and screamed at Eric's shoulder.
Eric looked at Cage, who was standing next to Coppola, and said: "Nick's performance is far beyond my expectation. Perhaps in the near future, the Coppola family will have an Oscar winner."
"Haha, this is for sure," Coppola said proudly. Westerners don't have too much modest habits.
Eric greeted Uncle Coppola and quickly greeted the crowd. He turned around and just had to find a corner to rest against the wall for a while. He felt a pair of big hands pressed on his shoulders and turned his head. Seeing the imposing James Cameron and the smiling Katherine Bigelow.
"Jim, Kate, how are you, thank you for coming," Eric quickly greeted
James Cameron did not have a courtesy smile on the red carpet, and asked with a sullen face: "Eric, money, "Terminator 2" have started casting, and the finances of the black ants tell me The company has no money, which allows me to deposit the contract with the union, and Stan also told me that you suddenly took the liquidity in the digital field."
“Is there still hundreds of thousands?” Eric asked subconsciously.
Cameron has an urge to sneak into Eric's neck: "Hundreds of thousands are enough, you tell me!"
"Okay, okay, Jim, don't worry, one month, I need a month for the money, how much do you want after a month?"
Cameron just wanted to ask what to do this month, but after hearing what Eric said, he immediately changed his mind: "I want to raise my budget, at least... at least 20 million."
"No problem," Eric nodded quickly, seeing Cameron again, and immediately said, "No more."
"Well, what about this month?" Cameron asked.
Eric said: "The things in the casting are coming slowly. You can go to Stan to figure out how to realize the liquid robot. Last time I heard that they developed a deformation software for this. Right, Kate, "Shock Point may have to retreat a bit."
"I have no problem," Catherine Bigelow said with a smile: "The film will be dragged down anyway, and the movie can only be placed in the Easter season next year. What you lose is you."
"It's still Kate's reasonable, Jim, you have to learn from your wife," Eric sneaked a slap in the face, and the woman immediately glanced at him.
Because too many stars participated in the premiere, the ceremony was twenty minutes later than the expected start time.
Eric sat in his seat and watched the movie for a while, only to find that Michael Eisner called Coppola next to him and sat down next to him and said, "Eric, I heard that you need it recently. Money?" (to be continued)
