Chapter 476: Advance layout

"Jurassic Park's shooting time in Kauai is about 10 to 12 weeks. If there is no urgent matter during this period, I will only contact Los Angeles by phone. I hope everyone can do their own thing. Eric casually sorted out the information in front of him. In the conference room, a group of presidents, vice presidents, and department managers nodded.
After the announcement of the meeting, Eric routinely stopped several fireflies and several Disney executives.
"Eric, what else?" After several people followed Eric to his office, Jeffrey asked.
"About Colombia," Eric said, taking the information out of the filing cabinet and handing it over to Jeffrey, Michael Lynn, Kasenberg and Frank Wells.
When it comes to Colombia, several people in Jeffrey actually understand the meaning of Eric. What Eric wants to say is definitely not a cooperation with Colombia on film, but a matter of splitting the distribution channels in Colombia. After several months. Operation, fireflies not only got most of Colombia's distribution resources in South America, through the layoffs of Peter Cooper and other measures, the distribution resources of European countries began to flow into the fireflies.
Although it is impossible for Colombia to abolish all the branches of Europe, the world's second-largest ticket warehouse, it is still a breeze to cut a part. In order to cover up the real purpose, fireflies only absorb about half of the laid-off branch employees. The other half of the people who are actually laid off can only admit that they are unlucky. The fireflies received a certain increase in salary and saw the dilemma of those who were actually laid off. The staff of the firefly 'Zhao An' did not express any dissatisfaction.
There are no impenetrable walls in the world, and the Japanese gradually noticed something wrong. And raised doubts to the Colombian management, but was blocked by Peter Cooper's ‘killer’. This ‘killer’ is very simple – resign. In the face of Sony's doubts, Peter Cooper personally called Akio Morita, saying that if Sony headquarters does not trust his ‘reform measures,’ he can resign to the board.
To the surprise of many people, this trick has worked, and it seems a bit ridiculous to Eric. It is often only the management of a company that has made extraordinary achievements that it has the confidence to play the ‘resignation threat’ card. Peter Cooper continued to bring huge losses to Colombia in the past two years. If it was Eric, he would have to let Peter Cooper go, but Sony received the threat of Peter Cooper’s resignation. Even compromised, and even replaced a senior executive of Sony's US division.
"The European side is almost the same. Recently I have read the information on Asia." After Eric gave several people the information, he leaned on the sofa and said: "Several countries in Southeast Asia have tried to curb the dumping of Hong Kong films. Years are getting stricter restrictions, but they have relaxed the entry barrier for Hollywood movies, which is a very good news for us."
Although this matter has nothing to do with Sony, Kasenberg has carefully read the information in his hand. I said, "Eric, Sony has already noticed this, but it has not been forced by various pressures to take any measures. However, I think it is almost the same. In my opinion, Colombia’s distribution channels in Southeast Asia are no better than How strong we are, those resources are like chicken ribs, we don't have to try to find the bottom line for the Japanese."
"I understand." Eric nodded and smiled: "Look at the last page, I only intend to get a branch office in Colombia in Asia."
The other four have turned the information to the last page: "China?"
"Yeah." Eric nodded. He didn't even think that Colombia had a branch office in mainland China. Even if it was Disney, there was only a fake office. Fireflies didn't even have movies with them. Cooperation in cooperation.
Michael Lynn asked: "Eric, do you think there is potential for development there?"
Eric smiled and said: "I can't give you an accurate answer. I only know that there are 1.17 billion people there."
The other four people couldn’t help but look at each other. As the executives of the film company, they certainly know the situation on the other side of the ocean. The extremely closed market there has been subconsciously ignored by Hollywood, but I heard Eric say 1.1 billion. With the figure of 70 million, they can't help but create a touch of emotion. If a country with such a large population base can open up the movie market, what would be the case?

I think I can try it,
Kasenberger said first.
There has been trying to open the market there. This is the best time to arrange in advance, and even if it fails, we will not lose anything.

"What should I do?" Jeffrey asked with some intention.
"First accept the branch office in Colombia, establish contact, and then try to introduce the mode of sub-accounting. If it is not good, you can get the screening qualification there. "Tornado" is very suitable. This movie has no sensitive plot. There is no political tendency. In short, what we have to do is to cultivate the market. This does not require much effort, but it can definitely bring us unexpected results," Eric said with a smile.
After discussing for half an hour, some implementation details were worked out and several talents got off work together.
"Wait a minute to go to the premiere of "Disguised Geek"?" The two stood in the elevator together, Jeffrey asked.
Eric nodded and smiled. "Don't go, Xiao Nizi grinds me for a few days, or else I am already in Hawaii."
"I have seen the sample of "Disguised Geek", how to say it, this movie is too noisy, and some are headless, very weird," Jeffrey recalled, commenting.
"This is not a film for the audience of this age," Eric said with a smile. "And what you said is the style of "Disguised Geek". I planned to make such a movie from the beginning, and this. The biggest highlight of the film is the performance of Kim Kerry."
"Then how many box office do you think you can get this time?" Jeffrey still asked a question of the greatest concern.
Eric thought about it and said: "One hundred million should be no problem. If there is no competition between "Tornado" and "Batman Returns", it should be higher."
Jeffrey opened his mouth, but did not say his own predictions, shaking his head and laughing: "I really don't know where you come from, 100 million dollars, which is already quite high."
Two people chatted, and Jeffrey refused Eric's invitation to participate in the premiere of "Disguised Geek". Driving alone, Eric also got on his own car. Drive to the premiere of the Chinese Grand Theatre.
......
At five o'clock, the bell ringing in the class finally rang. Britney, who had been holding the chin, immediately started to pick up the bag. I left the classroom along with the flow of people.
Although it is a children's star on the Disney Channel, Britney and several other small actors still have to go to school, and in order to deal with the actor association and the law of minor protection, Disney is also responsible for regularly scheduling remedial classes for their little actors. For Britney, who is playing , all of this is a torment.
Leaving the school building, Britney is about to take her bicycle home. Christina ran in the other direction.
When Christina ran to the front, Britney smiled and asked: "What, Chris?"
Christina smiled and took two tickets from the uniform pocket: "The premiere ticket for "Disguised Geek". Drew gave, are you going?"
The smile on Britney's face dissipated and stared at the ticket in the hands of Christina: "Drew gave you, why don't I know?"
The smile on Christina's face remained the same, but seeing Britney's expression, it was a little bit proud. If it wasn't for Delut's intention to give the tickets to them, Christina wouldn't even tell Britney the little fool.
"Then you can't go. If you don't go, I will call other friends," Christina said without explanation. Although Drew said that the tickets are for them, if Britney does not want to go, then What is her solution?
Britney looked at Christina's face with enthusiasm and wanted to refuse. But after thinking about it, she said, "Okay, but I have to call home."
"It’s really troublesome," Christina snorted and said, "Then you are going faster, and oh, if you come across Drew, maybe we can still participate in the party after the premiere, you better. Tell your mother, maybe Drew will invite us to live in her house this evening."
When Britney heard this, she thought of the large room, the game room, the big bed, the swimming pool in the Beverly Hills mansion, and then compared her small bedroom, and immediately excited.
When Britney finished the phone call with her family, she was about to go to her bicycle, but she was pulled by Christina: "You don't want to ride a bike?"
"What can I do?" Britney blinked.
"Don't be embarrassed, come with me," Christina pulled Britney out of the door and pointed to a taxi not far away: "Of course I went by car, this time I am treating guests."
Britney is dissatisfied with Christina's always smug look, saying: "You don't have to, we are aa."
"You are free," Christina stepped forward and greeted the driver waiting there, pulling the co-driver's door and drilling it in.
Britney licked her mouth, but she could only reluctantly sit in the back seat.
......
The two girls got out of the car together, saw the long red carpet in front of the Chinese Grand Theater, and the star on the red carpet that was taking pictures of the reporter. Britney looked at the delicate white dress of the actress on the red carpet. Some envious said: "It's beautiful."
"These are just the little stars that the fireflies are coming to the hot field. The big names are all behind," Christina said with a small all-in-one look.
Britney didn't want to be seen by Christina. She quickly put away the envious little expression and looked around. She couldn't help but whispered, "Hey, you said, we can see this evening... see William. Mr. James?"
"Who knows," Christina shook her head and looked up at the end of the red carpet. "But, Mr. Williams is very likely to participate in the premiere, but he still has Drew... ..."
Speaking of this, Christina immediately closed her mouth, she did not want to share her little secret with Britney, but Britney did not ask her what she just said, continue: "You see the tornado "Oh, it’s great, I want to watch it again, but unfortunately not so much pocket money."
"If you can go to the Pointe Manor, you can definitely look at it in the private auditorium there," Christina said.
"Then we ask Drew, take us there, okay?" Britney said with no heart.
Christina looked at the silly girl next to her eyes with little contempt, but she didn't answer. However, she was very much looking forward to it, but Drew did not take them. Christina was also very clever and did not take the initiative to ask her. Drew doesn't know how many times he is smarter than the little fool next to him. It's always hard to guess what Drew is thinking, and Britney next to her can only guess if she looks at each other's expression. What the other party will do next.
The two girls did not enter the premiere screening room in advance, but like other fans, they stayed near the red carpet and eagerly counted the 'stars'.
"Look, Mr. Williams, and Drew," Brennie saw the two figures coming out of the red carpet at the end of the red carpet.
When Drew took Eric's arm and walked slowly to them, Britney immediately tried to wave his hand and greet the two.
Eric waved at the crowd and easily saw the two little hoes, and also deliberately squinted at the two little girls.
"Disguised Geek" is a pg-13 level movie, which is the parental tutoring level. Although this movie is recommended for parents to accompany, but there is no mandatory restriction like the r level, so the two girls appear at the premiere. Not surprising.
All the way through the red carpet and into the theater, Eric asked: "I saw Bob and Chris, are they invited by you?"
Drew grumbled his mouth with a small mouth and screamed twice: "Bubu, it’s so sweet."
Eric just subconsciously used a more familiar name, looked at the dissatisfied look of the girl, raised his hand with a smile, and squatted on Xiaoni's head.
"Ah, my haircut," Drew quickly opened Eric's hand.
"Little girl, what hairstyle do you want?" (To be continued)
