Chapter 576: If I come to choose
Chapter 576
The next day, Eric arrived in the office building rented by Flower Studios in Drew, Venice Beach. Hey. ∑
It can be seen that the three-story building in the far beach and the sea was rented by Drew, and most of the rooms were in the process of renovation. Eric deliberately came to discuss the flower film industry with Amy Pascal.
I talked to Drew last night, and the two men quickly moved their positions under the infatuation of Shantou. Many things did not negotiate the results, since Drew pulled Amy Pascal, the former chairman of Sony Pictures. Come over, then talking to more professional people about these things is obviously more effective.
In Eric's view, Drew's ability to use people is much stronger than her other aspects. For example, Eric has always been puzzled. How does Xiao Nizi treat the pair of Russian twins so obediently, knowing that the twins’ strength is absolutely practical, but even if Xiao Nizi is angry with the two, The twins also hang their heads without refutation, like a pair of docile kittens.
The twins just appeared in the days around Deru, watching the two girls have always had a cool and cool expression, but there is no boxer temperament at all, Eric curious, in the manor’s gym One of the twins played a game. Or it can't be called ‘one’ at all, because Eric has surrendered his hand without sticking to it for a minute, and it has fallen into a dark circle, and Xiao Nizi laughed for a few days.
Now, Shantou has made Eric accidentally convinced Amy Pascal to join her flower studio, giving Eric a feeling of being more than a knife.
"Amy, how do you think of tossing with Drew?" In the office, Eric just met Amy Pascal and asked the most interesting question.
Amy Pascal, with a big wavy hairstyle, looks good. When she hears Eric asking, she smiles: "Eric, you should understand, I am coming to you, Drew. Know that I am coming to you."
"If this is the case. You can come to the fireflies, the fireflies are in the expansion stage, and if you come over, I will definitely raise my hands."
"I thought about it when I decided to leave Colombia, but the firefly management system is very perfect. If I join, it is difficult to play my own ability, it is different here," Amy Pascal gently waved: " It's like a blank piece of paper, I can show myself as much as I can, and no one cares that I am a woman. Because the boss of the company is also a woman."
Eric looked at Amy Pascal's smug expression and asked, "Do you have your own complete plan now?"
"Of course," Amy Pascal really took a document from the file cabinet next to it and handed it to Eric. "This is what I prepared these days. I also gave Drew a copy, but I think You came back yesterday, she must have not had time to give it to you."
Eric opened the file and realized why he wanted to seriously discuss the development of the flower film industry last night, but Xiao Nizi has always seemed to be half-hearted. It turned out that there is already a complete plan.
I watched a document with more than ten pages. Eric puts on a blue plastic folder: "Amy, let's just talk about it."
Amy Pascal did not object, saying: "I have studied the copyright of the flower film industry. I think there are two copyrights suitable for the development of the flower film industry at the present stage. "Impossible Mission" and "The Identity of Bonn" ""
"Impossible Mission" and "Bonn's Identity" are the TV dramas of "Mission Impossible" and the original novels of "Bour Shadow". In Eric's plan, "Bourne" was only suitable for development in a few years. It is still too early. However, he did not interrupt Amy Pascal's remarks and let the other party continue.
"...Flower Pictures has been using it for a few years. If you can successfully produce a few lucrative big movies and have a series of movies that can be profitable, then you can expand by listing or issuing bonds. I personally The suggestion is the first step. Efforts have been made to merge the flower film industry with MGM. In the case of Sony Columbia, I feel that they will be forced to withdraw from Hollywood in less than five years."
Amy Pascal said that I also looked at Eric with a deep impression and saw that Eric’s expression was completely different. Just shrug a little and continue to say: "At that time, we can further annex the Columbia Film Company on the basis of MGM. Of course, all this rush is that the film developed by the Flower Film Studio can be successful. First, in film production. In terms of funds, I believe that you have Eric to endorse, we can easily get money from Wall Street or the European Film Fund, or the firefly can invest in it, but I don’t think you want to let the fireflies participate too much in the flower shadow. In the industry, at least not at the moment, right?"
Amy Pascal's plan is obviously much more meticulous than Eric's original design. Although the original time in Colombia and MGM became Sony's subsidiary, Eric never thought about making the flower industry. From small to large, the two companies were annexed. However, the feasibility of this approach is definitely much more secure than the simple and rude use of large sums of money for acquisitions.
Although Eric originally planned to use the firefly film industry to annex MGM's film library a few years later, MGM fell to Drew and it was no different from falling into the firefly. He heard Amy's question. Eric nodded: "Before the anti-monopoly law was further liberalized, I really didn't want the fireflies to participate too much in the flower film industry. Although everyone knows what is going on here, we are the law-abiding citizens. It is necessary to give the color c a reason not to find us trouble. Another point, I hope that the theater release of the flower film movie is also represented by other film companies, because the firefly's own project has occupied a large number of publicity resources. Of course, You can rest assured that in any case, fireflies are the most solid backing of the flower industry, I just hope that the situation will never be so bad."
Amy Pascal nodded and said: "Before leaving Colombia, I personally talked to Mr. Cooper," said Peter Cooper, Amy Pascal, who showed a clear disgust in his eyes, but said: “Colombia will be responsible for the distribution of the flower film industry, and Mr. Cooper promised to give the flower film industry the best possible sharing conditions.”
It took half an hour to finish his plan, and Amy Pascal said: "So. Eric, now you can talk about your opinion, although you have not refuted me until now, but I can Feel. Some of my opinions are you not agreeing?"
"I definitely can't compare the professional aspects of the company," Eric said with a smile. "I have to say only movies. Although the big production of movies has become a major profit trend in Hollywood, I hope that the flowers will be shadowed. The industry is still able to get involved in low-cost independent film production."
The 1990s was the golden decade of Hollywood's independent film, although most of the independent films have become expensive visual waste. But there are still many excellent movies standing out every year, and the high-end boxing movies are everywhere.
Amy Pascal apparently also understood some of these situations and nodded: "Is there still?"
“I looked at the list of the Flower Film Copyright Library last night. The Impossible Mission, The Identity of Bourne, and Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings series are among the most valuable of these, all of which have The potential to develop into a series of films, but the latter two are not suitable for current development. What you can do now is the "Impossible Mission". I will personally provide you with a change of ideas."
Amy Pascal is somewhat disappointed: "Eric, is this only?"
in fact. Originally, there is "Forrest Gump", but if you choose to make "Forrest Gump" now, then it will only be released next year, so that Fox's "Brave Heart" faces "Forrest Gump" Biography is definitely a tragedy, not to mention that Tom Hanks is still shooting "Rescuing Ryan" in Ireland, and it is impossible to take another film in a short time. Therefore, Eric is still planning to put "Forrest Gump" in next year's filming, which will be released in 1995. As for the Austrian award film, it will no longer be considered.
Eric just got the head. After hesitation, he said: "When I was in Berlin last time, I thought of a very good fantasy movie idea called "Museum of the Museum". The script is already registered, this can also be handed over to you."
Amy Pascal showed a surprise, and then asked: "Eric, are you not personally written by Firefly?"
Eric said: "The main movie of Firefly in the next three years has almost been fixed."
Amy Pascalton remembered the project information that the fireflies had revealed.
"Save the Great Ryan", "Real Lies", "The Lion King", "Jurassic Park 2", "Don Liri", "Toy Story 2", etc., in addition to cooperation with Columbia and DreamWorks Film Company A series of films, it can be said that the main movie of Firefly in the next three years has been confirmed. This made her indifferently envious, and it is estimated that the attitudes of several other movie companies in Hollywood are the same.
Although other film companies have been making big movies in the past two years, they have not succeeded because they don't have the special technical support provided by Firefly's digital domain special effects company, and there is no magical existence of Eric. Even the most beautiful Steven Spielberg in the 1980s is now far behind by Eric.
Seeing Amy has no problem, Eric said: "So, just like this, you can start preparing for the "Impossible Mission" and "Museum of the Museum" now, and you can also pick the small cost of some famous directors. The film is invested."
Amy asked: "Eric, do you have any suggestions for the protagonists of these two projects?"
Eric hesitated, or said: "I can recommend Tom Cruise for the "Impossible Mission" actor, but only if Tom Cruise can only participate in this project as an actor and need to sign at least The contract for the three films. As for the Museum Wonderful Night..." Eric thought about it and found that Ben Stiller is not yet famous. Except for Ben Stiller, what Eric can think of at the moment is Kim Kerry, but although Kim Kerry is very suitable for the position of the actor of "Museum of the Museum", the interest of Eric and Kim Kerry is not high: "This is a well-known comedian from now on. Pick it out, depending on the actor's schedule and the audition effect. This film is based on the miraculous resurrection of the museum, so the actor is not the most important."
Amy Pascal nodded and suddenly shook his head. "Eric, Cruise's career in the past two years has declined somewhat, but if you want to sign a contract for three films at once, I am afraid it is not that simple. I have dealt with Cruise in the production of "The Prequel of the Dark War". He is not the same person who seems to be with him. I am afraid he will ask his production company to participate in this project."
"I understand that you can try to contact the other party and it will not bring us any losses. If he promises, it is natural that it is best, but we can make some concessions on the remuneration, but if he insists Excessive participation, then Hollywood can't find a star that can replace him."
"I will talk to him," Amy Pascal nodded and recorded the memorandum.
Eric waited for the other party to finish writing and said: "Now let's talk about another very important thing."
"Well?" Amy Pascal saw Eric's very cautious look and immediately raised his head.
"This is what I suddenly thought of last night. I have been investigating the amazing comic superhero some time ago."
"Eric, are you going to develop a superhero movie like Warner?"
"There is no such plan yet," Eric said. "I mean, I have been investigating some of the superhero copyrights of Marvel Comics, including Spider-Man, Captain America, and Fantastic Four. "The copyrights of these superheroes are in the hands of small companies in the second and third streams, so I want you to buy them for me."
Amy Pascal thought about the information of the amazing superhero and said: "Eric, there are a lot of amazing superheroes, and it is not so easy to get them all back."
"So, at least get Spider-Man back, in fact, I am most interested in this superhero."
Amy Pascal smiled and said: "Spider-Man is one of the most popular superheroes of surprise. If I choose, of course, it is also Spider-Man." (To be continued.)
