Chapter 293: Eisner's decision

After a while, Eric took the mobile phone back to the conference room, and Robert Shea also put down the coffee cup in his hand and looked into Eric.
"It's Michael Eisner," Eric said with a hint of briskness.

Do you want to invite you to talk?
Robert Shea asked with a slight eyebrow, and he also knew that the storm was a thing that Michael Eisner had behind him.
Eric nodded and sat down again in the chair: "Yes."
"Have you promised?" Robert Shea asked curiously.
"Let's listen to what he said, anyway, I'm fine at night." Eric said, holding the mobile phone at hand, and then said: "Robert, since you are not willing to take over the instinct, then pick the script as soon as possible." Now, it’s already in March. If you don’t decide the project again, it’s hard to catch up with the summer file.

When Robert saw that Eric no longer forced the script "Instinct" to himself, he was relieved and inevitably lost some contradictions. This is, after all, a script written by Eric himself.
However, he quickly adjusted his emotions and said: "I understand that I have collected six scripts these days. Wait until I let the assistants give you, you can help me."
Eric shook his head: "No, I think it's better to pick it by yourself. I can't guarantee that the movie will succeed 100%. Wait until you pick the script and give me the signature."
Robert Shea stunned and immediately understood that Eric was ready to let go. Then, the success or failure of the film in the future will have nothing to do with Eric. He must be fully responsible. But Robert Shea is not a person without any responsibility. After a moment of hesitation, I nodded: "So, I will pick the script as soon as possible."
......
after work. Eric drove back to Malibu, but the destination was not his own sharp corner manor. Instead, Michael Eisner is located in a mansion in Malibu.
"Eric, I'm glad you can come over, please come in," the servant led Eric to the door of the mansion, and Michael Eisner greeted him with a smile.
"Hello, Mr. Eisner," Eric showed a polite smile and shook his hand slightly with Michael Eisner.
Michael Eisner did not care about Eric's indifference. Still smiling with a smile: "Eric, I specially invited a famous French chef to personally make dinner tonight, let's go in."
Eric nodded and followed Michael Eisner directly to the restaurant. During the dinner, except for the servants who appeared from time to time, there were only Michael Eisner and Eric in the restaurant. Michael Eisner skillfully introduced Eric to the exquisiteness of the French cuisine that came up from the side. When the meal was finished, he also specially invited the French chef with a tall chef's hat. Three people combined a picture.
While admiring Michael Eisner's patience, Eric enjoyed the dinner. Anyway, the initiative is in his hands anyway.
After dinner, Michael Eisner took Eric into his study and waited for the servant to finish the coffee. Michael Eisner said: "Eric, since things are gone, I think we should talk about cooperation."
Eric’s mouth finally hangs a mocking chuckle:
Cooperation?

Michael Eisner still smiled and said: "Yes, cooperation, Eric, there is no eternal enemy in the world, only eternal interests, although this is the British diplomatic strategy. However, I think. Put it in the company. The same is true."
"There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests." Eric shook his head and smiled a few times, then said: "Mr. Eisner, if you have the choice to work with your friends or neutrals, then you will Do you work with your own enemy?"
"Of course not," Michael Eisner said. "But, Eric, do you think there are friends in Firefly in Hollywood? Although you are very happy with Fox, but believe me, as long as there is a chance, Murdoch I will definitely squat on the back of the firefly."
"I know this too, therefore, I will try not to give Mr. Murdoch this opportunity. At the same time, I will not give the other side an opportunity for the enemy who has already inserted a knife in the back," Eric’s careless end. Said the coffee.
Michael Eisner heard Eric said, still smiling, said: "Eric, I want to know something, I don't deny it, so I think we can still reconcile it."

Reconciliation?
Eric raised his head and asked,
How to reconcile?

Michael Eisner said with a faint confidence: "How about the script of "The Ghosts Are Not Ghosted"?"
Eric wants to shake his head directly. "Mr. Eisner, I don't miss the script, so I don't want to cooperate with Disney. Without "The Ghosts Are Not Gathered", then I choose other things. And, I It is guaranteed that Disney can't make the "Ghosts and Ghosts" that I have already conceived in my mind. You can make this movie, maybe you can make a small profit, but it is absolutely impossible to become a classic. Can you sell it even more? Hard to say."
"No, no, Eric, I don't think you fully understand what I mean. I mean, Disney has transferred the script of "The Ghosts Are Not Ghosted" to you. Then, how do we reconcile?"
Eric finally raised his head in surprise and saw Michael Eisner with a confident look. Immediately, Eric thought of other questions: "Mr. Eisner, I want Disney to buy "Ghosts" "The script" has definitely cost a lot of money, and perhaps promised a part of Bruce Joy. Robin, right?"

Yes,
Michael Eisner nodded.
$1 million in cash and 3% North American profit share.

Eric has figured it out. If it is based on past achievements, then the sum will add up to more than 3 million. Perhaps, for future profits, this money is nothing. But for Disney, who doesn't know the outcome at all, the offer is simply outrageous.
Seeing Eric’s silent silence, Michael Eisner said:
Eric, Disney is very sincere, so as long as we reconcile, I will transfer this script to Firefly for free.

"What about your contract?" Eric asked subconsciously. "I think, Bruce Joey Robin will not be reconciled."
"This is actually a good solution. Disney transferred the script to Firefly. When the movie was produced and distributed by Disney, then the share of Bruce Joy Robin can be transferred from Disney's profit. What do you think? ?"
"Fireflies and Disney jointly released, and the film copyright belongs to fireflies," Eric quickly thought about it, and said that since Michael Eisner can make such a powerful choice, he himself is still preoccupied. That would be too small for a family.
On the other hand, if the movie is completely distributed to Disney, the benefits can be maximized, but the fireflies themselves do not want to expand their channels, and if this situation continues, the fireflies will definitely become the same as the previous DreamWorks. Being able to make good movies, but not enough strength to release, can only struggle to survive between several major film companies.
Moreover, these years are the best and last chance to expand the distribution channels of fireflies, because the cost of film production in the early 1990s is not too high, so Eric made up his mind, even if it is Earn some younger, and also open up the distribution channels of fireflies. Otherwise, in the late 1990s, the special effects of the rise of the blockbuster, then the cost of production of hundreds of millions of dollars, if there is no distribution channel, then the situation will be very tragic. Most of the profits were deprived by the major film companies that had mastered the distribution channels, and even the production company even found that they could not even collect the production costs.
When I heard Eric’s loose tone, Michael Eisner didn’t even think about it, and nodded directly:
No problem.

After Michael Eisner finished this sentence, the atmosphere between the two sides suddenly became somewhat silent. Michael Eisner’s own goal was achieved, and Eric, who originally wanted Michael Eisner to hit the nail, failed to keep going.
After drinking the coffee in front of him, Eric took the initiative to stand up and said: "So, Mr. Eisner, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."
"I am sending you," Michael Eisner followed and stood up.
Eric was always sent out of the mansion, and Michael Eisner returned to the study room with a cold face, picking up the original unobtrusive folder in the corner of the desk, which was made by several Disney directors. The movie project plan book of Ghosts is not over.
Michael Eisner can be said to be one of the deepest ones of Eric, and one of the deepest ones of Eric's personal potential. Therefore, he will join forces with several other film companies to launch a joint suppression of fireflies. Unfortunately, due to some flaws in the process, things have not succeeded. After seeing Murdoch’s initiative to contact Eric’s news, Michael Eisner was determined to reconcile with Eric. After all, as he began to say, there is no eternal enemy, only eternal interests.
Moreover, the original Michael Eisner did not intend to reconcile with Eric at the expense of the script of "The Ghosts", but he had some of the famous directors of Disney's "Ghosts" The script was taken for research, and then the project plan provided by these people, that is, the things in his hands now, did not satisfy Michael Eisner.
