Chapter 224: Town treasure

Putting a bunch of newspapers aside, Eric crossed his arms and looked at the opposite girl. In this era, whether in film and television or in reality, it seems that women like to wear shirts.
Of course, Eric also likes the dress of a woman very much. This will give a woman a few more temperament, at least he feels that this look is much better than the women who wrapped the messy fabrics in later generations. Moreover, in fact, in Eric's view, the shirt is also a kind of uniform lure, especially when a woman wears a large men's shirt, it is best to bare two long legs...
Elizabeth saw Eric staring at herself intently, and the original heartlessness quickly converges, her arms on the desk blocking her chest, and Eric dissatisfied: "Hey, what are you looking at, color?" What?"
"I didn't see anything, I was just thinking, you are going to wear this body to go to work?" Although the girl looks pretty good, it is obviously not a costume that a woman who is going to work should wear.
"Of course, what I have to do is your assistant, not an office girl. Do you want me to wear a suit skirt and high heels to run around with you on the set?"
Eric squinted at the little chin that the girl gently raised, and knew that it was useless to say more. She shook her head and shook her head. It was no longer reluctant. Anyway, he didn’t expect the girl to help himself, as long as the film was filmed. When you can hand over something as a megaphone, the most important thing is not to be willful.
"Just do it," Eric said, looking down at the drawer next to him.
Elizabeth seemed to have won a small victory, and the long nasal sound snorted softly.
Eric found a document and a pen next to it and pushed it to the opposite Elizabeth: "This is the contract, you signed the word, and then the crew of "Sleepless in Seattle"."
Elizabeth took it and didn't rush to sign it, but she read it carefully. Eric looked at his watch and didn't care. He took the newspaper next to him and continued to look at it.
after awhile. Eric, who is seriously reading the newspaper, said to the opposite girl: "Eric, I signed it. What should I do next?"
Eric put a copy of Elizabeth's hand in a folder and said to the girl: "You can go back now. When the crew leaves for Seattle a few days later, someone will inform you."
"Ah..." Elizabeth opened her mouth slightly and quickly realized that Eric did not take her seriously. She was angry and said: "How can you do this, I protest, if you don't assign work to me. I I will not leave in your office today!"
Eric snorted and knew that it would be like this. In the first place, he should not agree to Murdoch.
It was painful how to get rid of the big lady, the office door was knocked open again, and Allen probed and took a look at it. "Mr. Williams, the writers have arrived, waiting in the conference room.

"Well, I am going to pass." Eric nodded and waited for Allen to leave. Only to Elizabeth: "Liz, I really can't use you here, so you still go back. Someone will inform you when the time comes."
"I don't go. Since you have signed a contract, you should assign work to me."
Eric was a little annoyed, his right thumb quickly rubbed a few times on the side of his index finger, then pointed to the coffee machine next to him: "Since you want to work, give me a cup of coffee."
The girl did not do it immediately: "I am not your servant!"
"This is a director's assistant. If you don't want to, go home now and wait for the crew to inform."
"You..." Elizabeth glanced at Eric with reluctance. After a while, the committee succumbed to a small face and carefully took a cup of coffee to Eric.
Eric certainly didn't drink coffee. Looking at Elizabeth's stubborn appearance, I had to pick up the phone and press it a few times. Speaking to the microphone: "Allen, reprint two copies of the confidential contract you signed earlier."
Elizabeth's look moved, concealing a glimpse of the bottom of the eye, and squatting down her head and standing next to it. After a while, Allen sent two confidential contracts.
"This is the confidentiality contract that Allen signed at the beginning. If you are too long, you don't have to look at it. As Mr. Murdoch's daughter, I think you probably know what the content is. If you violate it, you will not only have to pay a huge amount of liquidated damages. I might even go to jail. After the signing, I will be able to follow my time during the filming of "Sleep in Seattle" and temporarily act as a secretarial assistant to help Allen share some work."
This time, the girl didn't have any more ink. It took less than a minute to flip over ten pages of contracts, and she quickly signed her name.
"Okay, come with me, and, at least in Los Angeles these days, don't wear this dress anymore, change it to something official."
"I know." The girl did not refute this time, and followed Eric back to the conference room.
There are eight people sitting in the conference room, six men and two women, all around the age of twenty or thirty.
This is the screenwriter team that Eric has specially recruited for the next TV series.
Fox TV has signed a preliminary letter of intent for equity transfer with Firefly these days, and the specific transaction will be completed within this month. Therefore, Eric began to promise Murdoch before making the last two films of this year. Prepare for a TV series and a variety show.
In the plan, the variety show will be broadcast in the spring file, but the variety show that Eric intends to produce is relatively simple to plan, so it is not in a hurry to make.
Another TV series will be broadcast in the fall of next year. Although Eric is at the helm, but after hearing the average production cost of the US drama of up to 2 million US dollars per week, Fox still recommends a change shot for the sake of caution. The mode of sidecasting, but Eric does not agree, not only because he is very confident in this American drama, but also because of the theme, if you use the mode of shooting while shooting, it will definitely affect the drama because the production is too hasty. The quality of the set.
Originally, neither of them was willing to make concessions. Eric even said that if Fox didn't want to take risks, then the fireflies could be invested separately, but the copyright would not be evenly divided. This proposal did not even agree with Barry Diller. Who can guarantee that this TV series will be as hot as Friends?
The two sides stalemate for a few days, and finally Murdoch personally made a decision. Since Eric is so confident, Fox, who is a big family, can’t even take the risk. Even if the final grade is not good, it will only cost more than 2,000. Only then. Even this year, Fox TV suddenly got "Friends", but there will be tens of millions of dollars in losses at the end of the year.
What Eric wants to make is the X-Files of the town of Fortune in the 1990s. In Eric’s memory, this is almost the only American TV show that Fox TV can make in the 1990s.
However, the ratings of this American TV show in the first few seasons are not good. If it weren’t for a group of die-loving fans, the show was so hot on the Internet that it’s more popular than the first broadcast when it’s replayed. The first season was cut.
Although the style of the first three seasons of the "X-Files" is the most unique, the ratings are also the peak of the ratings in the fourth quarter after the change of style.
In Eric's view, the ratings of the first three seasons have not been able to go up. The main reason is that there is no main line in the story. Although there will be a strange monster or supernatural event in each episode, this state of no main line also leads to the audience. Difficult to leave their attention in this play, the screenwriter Chris Carter did not connect the chaotic clues revealed in the first three seasons until the fourth season, and began to tell the reader a complete sci-fi story.
The "X-Files" sci-fi drama was very unpopular at first because Fox TV tried to make science fiction, but there were few successes. Therefore, Eric thinks that perhaps the writer of "x-file", Chris Carter, the father of the x-file, did not have any complete mainline for the "x-file". It is estimated that it was compiled for many years. The story becomes clear.
Before I was going to make this TV series, Eric also asked Chris Carter to let the other party lead the screenwriter of this American drama. After all, many of the previous ideas were conceived by Chris Carter. Chris Carter is not obscured. The other party is now working as a screenwriter for Disney. However, when Eric sent people to contact with the other party, Chris Carter said that he is not interested in science fiction, so he is not willing to accept this. Work.
This made Eric once again see the powerful power of the butterfly effect. The father of the previous X-Files was not interested in science fiction TV series. It was...very wonderful.
In the conference room, Eric pointed to the position at the end of the conference table, let Elizabeth sit down and came to the top. They each said hello. After self-introduction, Eric stood up and wrote Walk along the wall of the board.
Pick up the black pen and quickly write a word on the wall: the-x-files.
"There are all screenwriters who are very good at science fiction movies and TV dramas, so you must also realize that what I am going to make is also a science fiction drama. The name of this TV series is called "x file."
In the eyes of everyone's curiosity, Eric put down the black pen in his hand and patted the palm of his hand: "So, let me first introduce the background of this sci-fi drama I imagined."
"The story begins almost from the origin of life. The universe is so large that we can't imagine it. Then there is an infinite possibility in this vast universe. In the hundreds of millions. Among the stars, the planet that can produce intelligent life, certainly not the only one of our planet, the Brett star, is the initiator of this whole story." (To be continued)
