Chapter 220: I will look at you

The guilty little gesture was seen by Eric, and Elizabeth’s face was finally a little bit hot, but the girl seemed to regard this confrontation as a 'war'. She always had a strong heart and she sat stubbornly sitting there, as if Together, you have to lose something. But seeing Eric completely disregarding his appearance, the girl doesn't look up: "Hey, what are you thinking about?"
Eric didn't even look at her, and pointed her finger at the floor-standing landscape light on the lawn: "The lampshade on the other side is pretty, I am thinking that you can't help but walk away, I remove a few Take it back in the trunk of the car."
Elizabeth couldn't help but burst into laughter, but she quickly tightened her face and glanced at Eric: "You don't even think about it, I will watch you."
"That's a pity." Eric sighed, but there was no regret in the tone.
"I said, can you be serious," Elizabeth finally had some helplessness.
Eric threw the cigarette butts in his hand into the trash can. He said, "Well, Liz, what the is going on, can you just say?"
"I..." Elizabeth paused: "What I want to say is, don't forget to pay me."
Eric feels inexplicable: "Well?"
"Your director assistant, although my father asked me to go, but you don't want me to do it, I want to achieve economic independence as soon as possible, so the old man will not want to threaten me with the freezing of my credit card. It is."
Eric smiled: "You really want to be a director assistant, Liz, we all know your father's purpose, but neither of us has that meaning, so don't make trouble?" Although you have nothing to do, I suggest that you go back to school. Enjoy the last year's campus time. Once you leave, you will never find that feeling in your life."
"My things don't need you to control!" The girl was dissatisfied with the top. He said: "I have my own plans for my future. I am planning to be a filmmaker. So first of all, I must be familiar with this."
"Oh? What about News Corp., do you learn the media, is it just to inherit your father's career?"
When I heard Eric asked, Elizabeth couldn’t help but feel a little stunned: "He... Although Dad didn't say it, I still know that he wants my brother to take over."
"Your father is quite... traditional."
Eric didn't expect Murdoch to have a tendency to be patriarchal, which made Eric feel a little bit...intimate.
"Old stubbornness is almost the same." Elizabeth muttered dissatisfiedly, and then said to Eric: "That, there are still things."
Eric realized that Elizabeth was talking about business this time, nodded lightly, and told the girl to go on.
"I have discussed with Julia, maybe next year, and after accumulating some experience, I intend to try to make my first movie. She promised me to be the heroine."
"and then?"
"So. I mean... can you...sell us a script?"
Eric didn't answer immediately, and took out the cigarette case. This time Elizabeth finally couldn't stand it. I hid the cigarette in Eric’s hand and threw it directly into the trash can:
Hey, don’t you realize that smoking in front of a lady is a very rude thing?

"Okay, okay, I don't smoke," Eric raised his right hand and then asked: "If you don't talk about the script first, if you make a movie, where is your money? You just didn't say it. Is it necessary for the economy to stand alone? With your status as a little rookie. Even if Julia is the heroine, it is estimated that it is difficult to invest."
"This is two different things. I have thought about it. I first borrowed 10 million from the old man to set up a film company. It is enough to make a film for this money. Julia also agreed to use the film to pay for shares, and finally split it proportionally."
Of course, Elizabeth said that it seems to be commonplace for such things. Eric thought a little and understood.
This is a common way for billionaires to circumvent high estate taxes in order to pass on family wealth. Give the children a sum of money in the name of lending, assist them to establish and develop their own company, and wait for the children’s company to develop a certain scale, and then recycle it at a high price by means of share swaps, which can make the rich run out. It may be a small price to pass on wealth to the next generation. Of course, this way of inheritance also has higher requirements for the ability of children. If the next generation is not on the wall, it will be difficult to work.
Although Murdoch did not intend to let Elizabeth take over, but with regard to the inheritance of wealth, if Elizabeth spoke, it would not be rejected by Murdoch.
Eric is thinking, Elizabeth suddenly interrupted his thoughts and asked, "Eric, what do you think, you can't promise?"

What did you promise?
Eric asked subconsciously, then he thought about it and showed a curious expression. He said,
The script, then, how much do you plan to use to buy me a script?

When this problem came out, it really made Elizabeth difficult.
Eric’s personally screened screenplay has no box office results of less than $100 million, and almost every one can bring in no less than 50 million in profits to investors. Calculated by this standard, even if it is based on the price of Hollywood's top gold screenwriter, it is certainly not enough.
"Look, you haven't thought about anything yet, so wait until you think about it."
Eric said that he stood up and that as long as Elizabeth understood the problem, he knew that he was rejecting her.
This is actually not just a question of money. Eric’s ‘player’ in his mind is not known, even if he gives one to Elizabeth, nothing. But now it doesn't work. Although several films have succeeded in box office success, his strength in Hollywood has not been stabilized. If he takes out a script to toss the other party, he can't maintain his dominant position and always check the quality of the film. If he messes up, it will ruin his unbeaten aura through several movies. Obviously, although Elizabeth said that she moved Julia, it was not enough for Eric to believe that the two girls would succeed.
"Hey, Eric, you wait," Elizabeth quickly stopped Eric, who wanted to get up. Although she didn't know Eric's concerns, Elizabeth thought about it for a while and then cut off from Eric. I got the script, because she realized that she couldn’t afford the price, but the girl was quite smart. She soon thought of another idea: "Eric, you can’t do this, I don’t take it from you. The script, I and Julia pick the script themselves, but by the time, you can help us to check it out and see if the script has the potential to sell. Is this ok?" (To be continued)
