Chapter 405: Domineering name

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the Firefly Headquarters, the meeting on the development plan for the next two years of fireflies was opened for a whole day.

After Robert Shea’s departure, after two months of restructuring and integration, the fireflies are now like a sports car that has been refitted and set foot on the fast lane. Therefore, both the fireflies veterans in the conference room and the new executives who have just been integrated into this big family are in a state of excitement with a vision of the future. The one-day meeting did not bring them any fatigue. state.

So far, Eric’s plan to annex Disney’s plan is to know only himself and Jeffrey’s father and son, and to annex the industry giants like Disney, even if it’s started in the second half of this year, even if everything goes well, at least It takes a year to integrate Disney into the firefly system in the later period, and it will take longer, so the development of the firefly itself is still the top priority.

The core business of Firefly is currently only two major films and TVs. In the TV business, before it has its own TV station, Eric has not expanded its meaning. As long as it manages the existing three TV programs, it will bring profits. It is enough for any production company to envy.

Therefore, today’s discussion is about the firefly’s film production plan for the last two years. Among the seven major movie companies in Hollywood, except for the half-dead MGM, the other six major films are released every year in the number of ten to twenty. Investing in films often accounts for half of this number.

Although Firefly has the potential to be seven shoulders, the road needs to be step by step, so Eric plans to complete the production and distribution of five films this year, and expand this number to eight to ten next year. Later, you may need to plan with Disney.

The expansion of production scale. This means that the risk of film investment is rising, but for Eric who has a golden finger, this problem is not a problem at all, although he can not intervene in each movie, but in the initial stage of the project review. Eric has an absolute veto, so that he can minimize the risk of filming a firefly movie, and a few losses, it is not without any benefit, so that Hollywood can relax the fire-fighting.

Negotiate the last topic. The new ceo Michael. Lynn turned to Eric, who was sitting on his right hand side, whispered: "Eric, what else do you have?"

Eric closed the memo in front of him: "No, let's implement today's resolution as soon as possible."

Michael Lynn nodded and announced the meeting to the heads of the departments in the conference room.

Watching Eric leave the meeting room with his assistant, Michael Lynn hesitated. Didn't catch up, but stopped Jeffrey, who also wanted to leave: "Jeffrey, wait for me."

Jeffrey stopped and waited for Michael Lynn to walk side by side with him: "Mike, what do you want me to do?"

"Is it free at night, go to dinner together?" Michael Lynn asked.

Jeffrey looked at Michael Lynn's expression and smiled and asked, "Mike, just say something. Don't be so polite, don't you go to my office?"

"Okay," Michael Lynn smiled. Go with Jeffrey to his president's office.

Two people sat down on the sofa in the corner of the office. Jeffrey told the secretary to make a good coffee for the two. Then he smiled and said: "Is there something at work? You are not too embarrassed to tell Eric directly, ask me. In fact, you don't have to be so cautious, you should understand. If it is not the difference between Robert and Eric, Eric will not do it at all. As long as you are thinking about fireflies, anything is in front of him. He will not be angry when he comes out."

Michael Lynn heard Jeffrey say so. When I think of my own purpose, my expression becomes a bit embarrassing. I say, "Of course I know this. Actually, I am calling you just a little thing."

Jeffrey got down and suddenly tried to ask: "It won't be the tornado's casting, even if you are found?"

Michael Lynn coughed a few times: "It was McDonald of WMA who personally found me. I owe him an adult before, please don't push it off."

Jeffrey also understood the difficulties of Michael Lynn and said: "Show me the list."

Michael Lynn took a note from his suit pocket and passed it. Jeffrey took it over and shook his head and said: "Even John Travolta is pushed over, they want to get it. Male lead?"

"I also explained to McDonald, "Tornado" is a film that specializes in special effects, but he said that as long as the role is obtained, the pay can be negotiated."

Jeffrey said: "The total budget for "Tornado" is only $5 million. Eric started to use second- and third-line actors. He paid 300,000 for Ms. Pakula, so the actor is probably the same. Last year, John Travolta’s “Flying Over Childhood” box office broke through 100 million yuan. It is still a first-line star. Even if he reduces his pay, he will not be able to drop too much. As for the scheme of split-price sharing, it is impossible, so Eric definitely He won't use him. If you want to use a line of actors, Tom Hanks is also in a schedule, and his agent has contacted Eric, but Eric refused."

Michael Lynn smiled and said: "I know this too, but I am only responsible for handing the list to you. Even if I still have McDonald's personal feelings, I have not guaranteed him otherwise."

"That's it, I let Eric give WMA's MacDonald a personal call, this face Eric will still give you. Even caa has begun to show us some time ago, I guess wma is mainly only I want to get in touch with Eric to work together in the future."

Michael Lynn said with a relaxed voice: "This is the best. If Eric comes out, MacDonald will be completely reluctant, and I will not owe him anything in the future."

The Hollywood film industry has been in development for hundreds of years. Although the various systems are very sound, this is only a relative concept. The network still plays a vital role in Hollywood. Otherwise, there will be no Jewish control of most of Hollywood's resources. It is.

Eric received a call from Jeffrey on his back to Malibu. By the way, I also talked with Michael Lynn and agreed.

In fact, both the news released by the fireflies and the comments of various professional magazines in Hollywood have made a detailed analysis of the role played by the actors in the "Tornado", which is the main effect of Eric. Although most people know whether it is a big-name actor. In this movie, it will be a supporting role for the tornado, but it will not stop the enthusiasm of many actors to chase this movie character.

According to the results of Eric's previous films, the "Tornado" he personally directed is not too bad, and the global box office guarantee of 300 million US dollars is definitely no problem.

According to the average fare of 10 dollars, it means that the actors are familiar with the face of 30 million people, but only remembered by the audience of this scale. Other film companies are also willing to use these actor who are familiar and cheap in the audience. Those who participate in the "Tornado" are equal to mastering an 'iron rice bowl' and will not be missing the film in the next few years. If you are lucky enough to star in a hot movie, you can squeeze into the ranks of first-line stars.

The main selection of Tornado is the actors on the second and third tiers of Hollywood. This is a great opportunity for the actor who wants to be in the first place. It is no wonder that there are so many people who are connected to Eric himself.

Back to the sharp corner manor, the security guard at the gate told Eric that Drew was back.

Eric just walked into the villa and heard the sound of Xiao Nizi from the sofa on the other side of the hall. The little arm squatted on the back of the sofa and looked at Eric. The long eyelashes flickered and the baby’s face With a sweet smile.

Eric walked over and pinched the face of the girl: "Love it. How come back today?"

Drew asked: "Eric, have you forgotten something?"

Eric took off his coat and hung it on the hanger next to it, and went to the sofa to sit down. Resting on the back of the chair: "Go and pour me a cup of water. I will think again after drinking."

The Shantou little wild cat rushed to Eric, and the two white legs in hot pants were still rubbing on Eric: "You think about it, think about it."

"I don't really care about people, okay, I think about it." Eric licked his temples and quickly showed a stunned look in Shantou's expectations. Raised his hand on Xiao Nizi's white and tender thighs: "I remembered, Quentin Tarantino, this bastard. I didn't make the script out this month. It is estimated that he owes five pieces of fireflies for about ten years. I don’t want to finish it, I will call it tomorrow."

Looking at Drew's nephew flashing a few times, suddenly a layer of fog flashed, Eric quickly smiled: "Well, your 16th birthday, how can I forget."

"More than that, what else?"

"And, um, according to California law, at the age of 16, you can stand alone in finance, and you no longer have to be bound by your mother."

"anything else?"

"Can you drive?"

"No, it's not, you promised me."

Eric grabbed the soft waist of the skull: "This is not necessary to say it, the wall has ears, here is California."

Drew took advantage of Eric and put it in his ear: "Eric, are we going to Las Vegas on my birthday?"

"I have to call my private lawyer first to consult, and I don't know the laws of Nevada."

"I called Edward."

Eric was surprised a little: "What did you say?"

"Speak straight, what is this?"

Eric pushed the little Nizi who pushed it on himself: "Well, hurry and pour me a glass of water. It’s awkward to discuss this kind of thing with you. Then, what else is there? I haven't seen it in the place, hey, it's not fresh."

Drew angrily slammed on Eric and reluctantly stood up and poured Eric to the glass.

Eric took a few drinks from the glass and asked, "Are you and Liz determined the next movie of tg?"

"Well, we picked four scripts and only grabbed two. The other two were robbed by Paramount and Colombia. The price of the two scripts that got the hand has also increased a lot. Liz is angry. No."

Eric can imagine that scene, although this time he didn't intervene at all, not even knowing what type of scripts several women chose, but others would not think so. The Big Seven must have thought that these scripts had passed his hand. If it weren't for Elizabeth's relationship, it was estimated that Fox would not hesitate to jump out of the competition.

"The two will do, and making two movies a year is more than enough for tg."

Drew sat down next to Eric and said, "I think so too. For Eric, I have already finished the withdrawal process, and I will concentrate on learning filmmakers with Liz."

Eric had already known this. The principal of the boarding school gave Eric a phone call after Shantou made an application. Anyway, Xiao Nizi did not have the heart to read, and Eric sent her to the boarding school. She has not spent a few months in school.

"That's it, you can't learn anyway, your mother didn't say anything?"

Drew slammed his mouth: "What can she say, she is worried that after I passed my 16th birthday, I can't get a penny from me anymore. These days are always in my ear, she is taking me. It’s not easy to pull, it’s a good thing to raise a family from six months. Anyway, after the birthday, I moved out of my house. I bought a small villa in Beverly, using Silence. The Lamb is divided, right next to Liz’s new home."

"Liz, are you? You mean she and Julia, are they still living together?"

"Yeah. Don't you know?" Drew asked the sentence and said, "Oh, you were in New York some time ago. They moved in those days, and they have a child in their house."

Drew said that the expression became weird.

Eric remembered something and asked, "What is going on?"

Drew quickly proved Eric’s speculation: “Julia’s brother and his girlfriend gave birth to a little girl, and neither of them was willing to raise it. Julia adopted the child. The news has not been disclosed yet. Come out, it is estimated that Julia will officially make a statement after a while. After all, suddenly there is more than one child. If nothing is said, others will definitely think that this is her illegitimate daughter. The excitement can be big."

"So... what is the name of the little girl?"

"Emma," Drew said, smiling and screaming at Eric: "They are going to call the little girl Emma Robert Murdoch."

"Wow," Eric almost accidentally dropped the cup in his hand to the floor: "Emma Roberts Murdoch, are you sure?"

"Surprised, anyway, they are going to register the name for the little girl," the smile on Drew's face became more eccentric: "They are not homosexual, they are unwilling to admit. I think you used to clean up a few times. Just face the reality."

Eric smiled and said: "Forget it, I will not mix it up, let them go to it, just don't know that Mr. Murdoch knows what he thinks if he has a little granddaughter."

Drew also laughed: "Actually, I originally suggested to them that the little girl called another name."

"what name?"

Drew’s eyes turned and sold a small one, saying: “Emma Roberts Murdoch Williams.”

Eric squirted out of the water and quickly pulled out the paper towel on the coffee table in front of him: "It’s too messy."

Although he said this, but he was thinking about other things. In memory, Emma Roberts was simply become a little witch by Julia. It was a small one, but it was a boy who would beat his boyfriend. Violent madness.

There is a Julia who is like this. If this little girl is really crowned with three surnames, Roberts, Murdoch and Williams, it is estimated that Hollywood will be ruined in the future.

After pinching the face of the girl, Eric smiled and said: "Why don't you add your 'Barrymore' in the middle, Emma Roberts Murdoch Barrymore, Williams, more domineering name."

Drew broke Eric's magic hand and held up his small chin to reveal a stunned look: "I didn't think of it, I will talk to them tomorrow."

Shantou obviously regarded this as a fun thing, and Eric was too lazy to pay attention. Anyway, he felt that neither Elizabeth nor Julia could agree, let her go to the air. (To be continued)
