Chapter 481: Visit

The two women suddenly came and hurried away. Eric, who had been smashed for three days, sent two women to leave and joked that they were being played, because most of their energy was placed on Jurassic Park. For the sake, Eric did not notice the anomalies of Virginia and Joanna.
On the afternoon of July 15, a helicopter landed at the airport in northern Kauai. A casual old man refused the help of his assistant and skillfully jumped off the helicopter.
"Danny, is the reporter contacted?" Seeing a man around the age of 30 coming to the side, Martin Davis asked the assistant next to him.
The man named Danny’s suit whispered:
It’s already arranged, and tomorrow’s news will appear in the newspaper.

Seeing that the man not far away had come to the front, Martin Davis did not speak any more, just nodded slightly and walked forward.
"Mr. Davis, welcome to Kauai," Allen greeted him and reached out to the other side.
Martin Davis smiled and shook hands with each other: "You must be Alan Fesman, I remember your voice."
Allen politely nodded. "Yes, Mr. Davis, our crew is now stationed in Lie, but the conditions there are not as good as the resort here. Mr. Williams asked me to book for you at the Westin Resort. room."
"No, no, I am not on vacation, I will live with each other," Martin Davis shook his head.
Allen did not object, and reached out and said: "If this is the case, please come with me, the car is over there."
The three men walked out of the tarmac. Came to the side of the road. Martin Davis gestured to follow his assistant and bodyguard into another car. I followed Alan with a black jeep.
After the car started, Martin Davis told Allen: "Eric is definitely on the set, can you take me to see?"
"No problem, the crew is shooting in a ranch not far away, not far from here," Allen promised, swearing a few words to the driver.
It took only a few minutes for the two cars to come out of a blocked pasture and enter the studio. Not far from the man who jumped out of the camera, quickly pointed the camera at the side and frantically pressed the shutter.
Allen, who was negotiating with the guard, noticed the details and narrowed his eyes, but quickly relaxed.
Eric is working with Stan Winston on the sub-lens to discuss the details of the lens of the next long-necked dragon, and sees Allen walking with a few people.
"Martin Davis, how could he be here?" Stan Winston looked at Eric's gaze and asked with some surprise that he had been mixed in Hollywood for so many years, Stan Winston's for the seven majors. The top is still very clear.
"Of course it’s for the movie." Eric smiled and pinched the pencil in his hand: "Stan. Let’s say hello together?"
"No need, go, I will discuss the next position with Nickel," Stan Winston was not too cold with Martin Davis, casually said.
Eric nodded and walked over to Martin Davis.
When he came to Martin Davis, his gaze was placed not far from the six-meter-high behemoth.

That is the long-necked dragon, one of the main dinosaur models in the digital field for Jurassic Park. It is 20 feet tall and is one of the biggest props in this movie,
Eric walked to Martin Davis. Next, casually explain, this long-necked dragon plan also wants to use cg production, but because of the close-up shooting, plus the design of the tyrannosaurus, the action of this dinosaur is not complicated, in order to be realistic For the sake of it, Eric chose the model.
Martin Davis regained his gaze and smiled at Eric. "It’s amazing. Looking at this big guy, I suddenly thought of Star Wars many years ago, Eric. I believe that you will definitely create a miracle this time."
"Can you make a miracle, or the audience has the final say," Eric smiled, and reached out to Martin Davis: "Mr. Davis, I am very happy to meet you."
"Me too, Eric, just call me Martin," Martin Davis smiled and looked amiable.
Eric nodded, but he was not confused by the other's affinity. Just because Stan Winston didn't want to come and say hello, mainly because most people in Hollywood know that Martin Davis is a very harsh and demanding. People. When Barry Diller left Paramount, apart from the divergence of business ideas, a large part of the reason was that because of the character of Martin Davis, Barry Diller was basically with Martin in the last period of Paramount. Wyse spent in the quarrel. Michael Eisner, who also worked at Paramount, commented on Martin Davis as 'How can there be such a person in the world'.
"Well, Martin," Eric looked at his watch and said, "I prepared a dinner at night. Now it's two and a half hours from work. Maybe you can go around and the scenery is beautiful."
Martin Davis waved his hand: "Eric, you continue to work, but I think you shouldn't mind if I stay here?"
"Of course not," Eric shook his head and smiled. At this moment, the deputy director not far away also made an ok gesture to Eric at the right time.
Sorry again, Eric 嘱咐 Allen took a few words and walked away.
......
The filming began very quickly again. Looking at the long-necked dragon that was not far from the special effects master, Martin Davis sent Alan in a few words and whispered to the assistant: "Danny, what do you think?"

It looks like nothing special, Mr. Davis,
said Danny Cork.
This should be the most common shot. I have read the original work of Jurassic Park. If I am the director, I Definitely put more energy on the Tyrannosaurus Rex, that is the selling point of this movie, Eric Williams certainly can't think of it."
"Are you familiar with Jerry Bruckheimer?"
"Of course, but Jerry can't tell me too much. But I know that Williams values ​​Jerry very much. It didn't take long for him to leave from Paramount. Williams signed a long contract with him."
Martin Davis sighed, no more, but Danny Cork still realized that his boss must have some regrets and Jerry Bruckheimer’s appointment, as if he regretted that Barry Diller, Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Kasenberg was driven out of Paramount. These three people now have a global ceo, a Disney ceo, and the last Barry Diller, less than a year after leaving Hollywood. It was the idea of ​​acquiring Paramount.
Danny Cork can't help but imagine that if these three people have not left yet, then Paramount must be the hegemon of the seven major Hollywood, and will not fall to the current situation of low-profile wolves looking around the internal instability. From the bottom of my heart, Danny Cork is not optimistic about Martin Davis's trip to Hawaii. He is not even optimistic that Martin Davis can save Paramount, but these words he dare not dare to wear Martin. Weiss said it.
......
In the restaurant of the hotel, the Eric has been bathed and replaced with a comfortable uniform, sitting opposite Martin Davis, who waits for Hawaiian specialties from time to time. The two also chatted casually, and Martin Davis did not seem to be anxious to say what he wanted.
Of course, Eric will not be in a hurry. Anyway, the initiative is on his side. Before Martin Davis came, Eric carefully investigated the situation of Paramount.
Paramount’s parent company was originally a Gulf Western industrial company that started with non-ferrous metal smelting. After the company’s development, the business became very diversified. It once involved liquid crystal, petroleum, electronics, entertainment and publishing, and the famous Simmons. It used to be the industry of the Gulf Western Industrial Company, but in the past decade or so, Gulf Western Industries has been divesting its own industrial business and shifting its focus to the cultural and entertainment industry. A few years ago, Martin Davis even went to the Gulf Western industry. The company was reorganized into Paramount Communications, which includes Paramount Pictures, Paramount TV and Simon Schuster.
Perhaps it was because of the forced departure from Paramount that Baridil had been obsessed with Paramount for so many years. After leaving Fox, Barry Diller took over the qvc, a TV sales company owned by two cable TV service providers, Comcast and Telematics, which was short-lived because of Comcast and telematics. Two cable companies of comparable size are interested in the film industry. Barry Diller feels that the time is ripe, and they proposed to the two companies to jointly acquire Paramount.
At the same time, Lei Shidong did not give up his ambition to enter Hollywood. After the failure of Disney, the Viacom Group of Lei Shidong also directly pointed to Paramount.
In addition to the two outstanding people on the bright side, Eric also knows that qvc's parent company's remote communication seems to be reluctant to share Paramount with Comcast, but also has the idea of ​​singularity.
Simply put, Paramount is now in the eyes of many companies, a piece of fat that causes a lot of beasts.
After pulling the scenery of the Hawaiian Islands, Martin Davis finally tried to say: "Eric, I heard that when the Disney acquisition last year, fireflies and Viacom had a lot of unhappiness?"
Eric nodded faintly: "Yeah, but this is a normal commercial competition. There are very few people in the mall who have a lot of money and money, so this is not a big deal."
Martin Davis showed an old fox-like smile: "It's not that simple, fireflies spend at least $2 billion in this deal."
Eric really wants to ask if you are not a good friend with Lei Shidong. Is it really appropriate to provoke dissension?
"If I add Disney for $2 billion on the basis of last year's purchase price, I am sure someone will take over," Eric said confidently. "So, this business has no loss of fireflies, Disney value. This price is enough."
Because of privatization, Disney did not disclose much information, but Martin Davis did not doubt Eric’s words, although Disney’s film business has not shown signs of improvement, and there are no stunning works, but throughout North America. The entertainment industry is constantly increasing in value because of the expansion of the market.
Even if Disney's performance is stagnant, according to the current development speed, Disney can also break through the market value of tens of billions of dollars in a few years, not to mention the benefits of Pixar animation under the control of Eric. How can Disney be possible? Will it stop?
Seeing that Eric didn’t pick up his own words, Martin Davis knew that the young man was also a little fox. It’s useless to say those words:
Eric, come straight to the point, I think you know my intentions this time. Viacom wants to buy Paramount, but I don't want to sell it. So, I think maybe we can cooperate. Although Disney's acquisition does not cause you a loss, Viacom still makes fireflies more flowers. A lot of money, don't you want to pay back your teeth?"
"In the mall, it’s not wise to have a hot head and a bad tooth. I won’t lick this drowning for no reason,
Eric shook his head and said faintly:
And, now I even have the business of Firefly itself. I haven't straightened out, so I'm sorry, Martin, I really don't have the energy to work with Paramount."

You don’t need to spend too much energy,
Martin Davis said without hesitation.
Only you can offer several more promising movie projects to Paramount, and Paramount definitely does not. You will suffer from these projects, you can personally control the ownership."
Martin Davis’s idea is very practical. He does not want to sell Paramount himself. However, although he is the largest shareholder of Paramount, he does not have a controlling stake, and Paramount’s performance is low, once the opponent Initiating a hostile takeover, when the price reaches a certain level, other shareholders will definitely choose to sell the shares in their hands. At this time, the only thing that can reverse the situation is to have a good result. As long as those shareholders see the prospects of interest, those people will certainly not choose to sell. And the firefly, or Eric cooperation, is undoubtedly the fastest way.
"Mr. Davis, you have to know that quality cooperation projects are an unfortunate thing. Movies are like gambling. No one knows what will happen next. No one can guarantee 100% success. Everyone was so optimistic about Spielberg's "Captain Hawke", did the film still fail in the end?" (To be continued, please search for astronomical literature, the novel is better updated faster!
