Chapter 1086: Unexpected memories

"One of the most interesting things, AT-T, Exxon Mobil, which have more than half of the market share in their industry, can be safe and sound, but now some people hope that the Justice Department will come to us."
In the banquet hall on the big ship, Eric faced Bill Michalnik’s concerns about recent media and theory, and said with a smile.
"AT-T, ExxonMobil are two big companies and we are different," Bill Michalin said in a very meaningful tone, said: "Eric, I think you should still make some preparations in advance.

Bill Michanik didn't break something, Eric was willing to pay attention and seriously nodded: "I understand."
Although AT-T and ExxonMobil have more than half of the market share in their respective industries, they are all publicly held companies. Together with the market value of hundreds of billions of companies, the interests of the two companies are almost equivalent to the whole. In the interests of the United States, the federal elite controls the control of the two companies. The civilian class shares the profits generated by these large groups through insurance funds and pension funds. In the case of all interests, as long as these large groups do not perform too much. Naturally, no one will jump out to find trouble.
In contrast, the Firefly system, whether it is control or controlling, is firmly in the hands of Eric himself.
Although many companies in the system are also listed companies, companies in the firefly system, whether power or interests, are too concentrated compared to other corporate giants in the federal public.
In this case, it is basically impossible to make others not to be jealous. In addition to the media industry in Hollywood, most of the assets of the firefly system are distributed in new technology. Since new technology companies are basically new industries, they will not touch the interests of the original social class, but with the scale of the firefly system. More and more, there will certainly be some people who naturally feel that these industries should have one that belongs to them. Once more and more people have these ideas, the troubles of the firefly system will follow.
Eric has never ignored this problem. Just, really, he has no experience in dealing with this kind of thing. Perhaps, in this world, it is impossible for someone to have experience in dealing with such things, so he can only be careful. Slowly explore.
Looking at Bill Michalnik, Eric’s inner recognition increased his points. After all, being able to block his own face raises this sensitive concern, and Bill Michalk must have begun to integrate himself into the firefly system.
The champagne in his hand took a sip and Eric looked around.
Since "Speed ​​and Passion" has achieved success, a celebration feast is naturally necessary.
Just after the New Year, several companies joined forces to organize the party into a big gathering of the Hollywood firefly system. The top executives of the four companies, Firefly, MGM, Fox and Columbia, and producers, directors and stars who have made good connections with the four companies have gathered together.
Looking at the week, Eric found Caroline and Meyer, who were chatting with each other at the buffet table not far away, so they waved at the two women.
Today is January 16. Carolyn returned to Los Angeles last week.
Noticing Eric's gesture, Caroline and Mayer came together, and the two women were still holding a small plate in their hands. When they came closer, Caroline asked: "Eric, what? Is it something?"
Eric put a glass of wine in his hand and inserted it in his trouser pocket. He hesitated, or shook his head. His face showed a smile and said, "Nothing, remind you that you should not eat too much, be careful to gain weight."
This kind of fat is almost a natural enemy of all girls. Caroline suddenly shrinks his neck and is embarrassed to argue: "I didn't eat a lot of things."
Eric lifted the glass in his hand and said, "Oh, if you do, go play, right, don't seduce the boy, you can't even talk."
Caroline naturally used this as a 'warning' for her, and her face squinted at Meyer, whispered: "Eric, you are really overbearing. ""
After that, the girl did not intend to pay attention to Eric, pulling Meyer to go to other places.
Although I obviously felt that Eric had just stopped talking, but the boss did not say, Meyer did not ask much, but when Carolyn pulled away, he turned and looked at Eric.
After sending away two female assistants, Eric paid for the guests who came to greet him from time to time, all the way to the main deck below the big ship, to find the figure of Shantou and others.
Shantou felt a hand rubbing his waist and didn't care about the other guests around him. He turned his head and Eric kissed and asked, "Eric, what is Bill looking for you?"
"Nothing," Eric shook his head and smiled and greeted Amy Pascal, Tina Fey, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Kate Hudson: "Hey, Amy, Wen, Kate, oh, and Tina, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Tina Fey made a toast to Eric in a restrained way: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Eric."
When she was a personal assistant for a while, with the integration of MGM, Tina Fey was placed in the editorial department of MGM.
Think about it, the current MGM, a lot of Hollywood women help.
After a round of greetings, Eric found that a few women had a face that was not familiar. Although he felt that he had seen it before, he could not name it for a while.
The girl in a black sling dress looked even taller and noticed that Eric looked at herself and volunteered: "Mr. Williams, hello, my name is Mira Sorvino."
"Hello," Eric thought of this, laughing: "You played Woody's "non-powerful aphrodisiac", right?"
In fact, Eric first thought of the "King of the Dragon" that Mila Sovino and Jeter Lee collaborated. It seems that the other party has also cooperated with the brother. However, these movies do not seem to have yet. appear.
Mira Sorvino nodded with a smile.
Shantou took Eric’s arm and suddenly said with great interest:
Mira is a high school student in Harvard’s East Asian Language and Literature Department. Right, she also speaks Chinese.

"Really," Eric also had some surprises. Think about it, maybe this is one of the reasons why the other side can cooperate with two Chinese superstars. With a smile on his face, Eric looked at Mila and said, "Hey, I will test you and say a Chinese idiom that is more in line with the current situation."
Mira Sorvino’s eyes flashed, and suddenly there were some small cymbals in his expression, and he spit out four words in the normal words of the word:
Playing the cows.

Eric didn't expect the other's Mandarin to be so standard. Once again, she was a little surprised. She smiled and put a thumbs up. She also used Chinese: "Ingenuity!"
However, speaking of these two words, Eric discovered that after many years, his Chinese accent has become very blunt, and his heart is not sad.
Opposite, Mira Sorvino said the idioms just now, and I regretted it.
She spent a year as an exchange student in the capital of the other side of the ocean, so she can speak a very standard Mandarin. However, the idiom on the cow playing the piano can never be considered a good word. Drew just said that it is obvious that Eric Williams should also know some Chinese. If the other person can understand the meaning of the word and think that he is laughing at him, then it is worse.
Looking at each other's reaction, Eric Williams really knows Chinese, but she is not angry, she is relieved. Listening to Eric also praised himself in Chinese, Mila was also somewhat surprised. However, considering the accent of the other party, she felt that perhaps the other party did not understand the meaning of the idiom she just had, but she did not understand or understand. Understand and understand.
Well, it must be like this.
Thinking of this, Mira's heart could not help but have some small superiority.
The two people in the conversation have different minds, but others have a curious expression. The girl is asked directly: "Eric, what do you mean?"
"Amount, this, playing the piano," Eric smiled and looked at the opposite face of Mira Sorvino, saying: "Mira, or else, let me explain to you."
Mira Sorvino didn't expect to have a follow-up, and suddenly swept away in a guilty conscience.
Playing the piano on the cow.
Although she is also a second generation of Hollywood, her family is far from Gwenis Paltrow or Kate Hudson.
Around these people, even Tina Fei, she did not dare to 'bounce'.
"This," Mila said unconsciously with the right hand of Champagne, hesitating for a while, and said: "Playing the cows, that is, everyone standing and chatting, mutual, very pleasant meaning, um, that's it."
The women around were all smart people. Looking at Mila’s look, she realized that she was and looked at Eric together.
Eric ignored the eyes of several women and looked at Miracle, who was guilty of guilty conscience, and changed to Chinese again. He smiled and said: "Do you think you are smart and self-contained?"
"Ah," Mila's eyes widened. Some of her small sense of superiority has disappeared. She doesn't think that Eric can tell the idiom of ‘self-binding,’ and he doesn’t know what it means to play the cow.
After Eric finished, he looked at Mila, who looked like a stunned face, and took the initiative to help shift the topic. "Well, don't mention this, what are you talking about?"
At this point, everyone obviously realized that the idiom that Mila Sovino had just had is not a good word, but since Eric did not pursue it, he also actively shifted the topic, and naturally they would not chase it.
Amy Pascal said: "Nothing, we are discussing whether we will go to New York for Fashion Week next month."
"Oh, if this is the case, let's change the subject again."
Everyone suddenly laughed again.
Gwyneth said: "Eric, I heard that "Iron Man" is about to release a Super Bowl preview?"
Eric nodded and said, "Yeah, remember to watch it, maybe you will feel good and maybe."
The crowd talked a few words, the new line film CEO Kenneth Horn and the newly left Bill Michal once again came together.
Knowing that the two men might find something to do with this time, Eric nodded to a few women and left with them, and asked: "What?"
Kenneth Horn didn't immediately speak, and the three went all the way to the in-house restaurant. Eric asked Amy Adams, who was on duty tonight, to put a pot of coffee for everyone. The three were seated in a quiet restaurant, Kenneth Horn. Handed a portfolio to Eric and said: "Eric, this is Adam Sandler's new project script."
Eric took over the portfolio and pulled out the script and roughly flipped it over.
This is a script called "Daddy Forward", which continues the personal style of Adam Sandler, but the content of the father and son is a bit more.
At this time, Adam Sandler’s "tea boy" at the end of the year, the North American box office has also broken 100 million, counted last year's Easter schedule "Wedding Singer", Adam already has two North American box office breaks Billion's film, although due to the style and popularity of the TV industry, the overseas box office of the two films is very mediocre, but this does not prevent Adam from successfully entering the ranks of Hollywood's first-line superstars, after all, compared to an average of two thousand For the cost of tens of thousands of dollars, his film's return on investment is even higher than most of the blockbuster films that invest more than $70 million.
Putting down the script in his hand, Eric said: "So, what is the situation now?"
Kenneth Horn explained: "After the second week of "Tea Boy", Adam handed the script to me. However, you know, the new line only signed two films with him, "Tea Boy" With the "Wedding Singer", he has already completed the contract."
"Well, then?"
Kenneth Horne said: "I paid $15 million for the film, and Adam refused. He didn't touch me anymore in a few weeks."
Eric thought for a moment and smiled and looked at Bill Michanik sitting next to him. "So, did he find Colombia?"
Bill Michalnick shook his head and nodded again. "Yes, it is not. Adam did not contact us directly. Instead, he was a solo production company called 'Sudden Entertainment'. They got Adam's new film. Production rights, and then hope that Colombia can be issued."
When I heard the words of Bill Michal, Eric suddenly remembered it many years ago, like a reincarnation.
At the beginning, after completing the "Little Ghosts" alone, Eric found the publisher, also Colombia, when the matchmaker was Amy Pascal.
Unexpectedly, over the years, Adam has once again found Colombia, but the situation is now very different.
In other words, the situation in Colombia is as good as it was at the beginning. There are no outstanding films. It is necessary to find high-quality film sources from outside for distribution. At that time, the owner of Colombia at this time has changed to be bold in negotiating with them. Young people who gamble contracts.
There was a slight feeling in my heart. Eric had some unclear smile on his face and asked: "So, what conditions do they want, I mean, what is the condition of division?"
