Chapter 519: calm

After cooperating with Columbia on the "Smiths", according to the original contract, there are four other films in the cooperative development plan. After taking the fat of Colombia’s overseas distribution resources, Eric has not had much enthusiasm, but Peter Cooper has been entangled in the late Eric’s completion of Jurassic Park. Not only a few phone calls a day, but also two days to go to the Firefly headquarters or the sharp corner manor, Eric has to start to pick the remaining cooperation projects, fireflies have to occupy 60% of the benefits, he is not likely to pick a few The film has dealt with things, it is equal to pit yourself, thinking about it is a headache.
Nicole and Universal's remuneration negotiations on the "Mummy" project were also successfully completed. Nicole gave up the $10 million pay and enjoyed an 8% omnichannel interest share of the Mummy. Eric heard that the contract is within the global It also caused a lot of controversy. Michael Eisner advocated paying Nicole's cash payment, but the Global Board of Directors insisted on agreeing to the share contract proposed by Nicole in order to reduce the investment risk, and finally even moved the Panasonic executives out. Michael Eisner had to agree under the pressure given by Panasonic's top management.
After seeing the outline of the "Mummy" series prepared by the United States, Eric confirmed that the second sequel had an undead army, so he let the digital field take the initiative to contact the world and want to win the special effects production project of the "Mummy" series.
Because Eric's technology research and development investment does not cost, the industrial light magic at this time has fallen far behind the digital field in cg special effects, although Michael Eisner reached the industrial light magic under Spielberg's matchmaking bridge. Some long-term cooperation agreements, but also can not refuse the cooperation requirements in the digital field. After all, he can't refuse to make Universal's movies look better in terms of special effects, but Michael Eisner didn't hand over all the special effects of "Mummy" to the digital field, and subcontracted the effects to the film production cycle. In the industrial light and the digital field, Eric has been interested in the special effects scenes of the undead army. There was no objection.
Tgfilm's sale to Fox just determined the intention. The specific transaction needs at least tg to complete this year's project before it can be implemented. Drew and Elizabeth still focus on the production of Buffy and Kim. The episode of Charlize Theron did not affect the process of determining the heroine in Buffy. If it is successful, the TV series will begin production at the end of March.
After a period of research. Kim Kerry’s new film is determined to be a sequel to the
Detective Aircraft Head
at the end of last year. The original sequel of this time and space is indeed much better than the first one, and Eric also intervened to make some suggestions for the script.
Because tg is not in a hurry to sell, Drew can't get out of it in a short time, and the production of "Jiaojiaowa" is even less urgent.
Eric originally planned to hand over the writing of "The Charlie" to the screenwriter team of Firefly, but finally thought about it. I still intend to come by myself. Anyway, because of the birth of two little guys, he will definitely have a leisure time in New York. This time can be used to slowly conceive the script of "Jianjiao Wa". Imitating the idea of ​​the 007 series, the film series of "Jianjiao" certainly needs a complete world view and story background, and in this respect. Eric, who has countless movie storylines in his mind, is definitely better at it than others. Therefore, during this time, Eric is carrying a small notebook. Record the inspiration for "Cute Angel" that occasionally emerges anytime, anywhere.
Between these trivial trivialities, there is also Forbes magazine to add chaos. In early March, Forbes magazine officially announced the annual North American Fortunes list, although Eric did not appear in the richest man's seat. However, his worth of 7.5 billion US dollars still caused some entanglement in the media. After all, although Eric is not the most wealth on the list. But the age is very dazzling, after the birthday of May this year. Eric’s age is only 23 years old. Bill Gates, who has more than $5 billion in his family, is hard to match. Although Bill was once called the 'youngest billionaire', he has two more. The year is almost forty years old.
Of course, if it's just age, it doesn't matter much. It's just what the outside world says. But for Eric's source of wealth, although Forbes magazine gives a clear analysis, many media still have A variety of malicious speculations, and even people's rhetoric fiercely appeal to the federal government to conduct relevant investigations, to give taxpayers an account.
Of course, there is no confession, but the controversy is certain.
In this turbulent environment, Eric has been busy until the end of March, after all things have been dealt with, and then rushed to rush to New York.
......
Long Island East Hampton, because the two women have to live for a long time, the original leased house has been retired, Eric in January to let Chris in New York help buy not far from the sea A five-acre small manor once again came to New York, and both Virginia and Joanna had moved in.
The weather in New York at the end of March is still cold. Although there is no snow, the maximum temperature is still no more than fifteen degrees, and occasionally it will drop below zero.
From the busyness of the feet, suddenly came to this small manor like a paradise, Eric did not suddenly feel like a lot of workaholics, but enjoyed the sudden silence.
For the two women now, it is definitely not appropriate to go out in the morning and evening. Only when the weather is warm near noon will they go out for a walk.
New York ushered in a rare sunny day, no wind, staying under the sun gives a warm feeling. Eric stood at the green lawn just now, holding a picture clip in front of him, holding a charcoal in his hand, and whispering a small whisper while sitting quietly on the bench in front of the roadside. Anna painted on white paper, and the woman said that she would stay as a commemoration. In the future, she would show the little guy what her mother looked like.
Because of the nutritional supplement during pregnancy, Joanna’s cheeks were not as thin as before, and they looked rich and pretty, with a charming scorpion. It looks more beautiful. As for Virginia, she definitely does not allow Eric to make any comment on her round face. The little woman also notices that Eric is also very much looking forward to the little guy in her belly, so she is even more fearless. .
The car sound came, and Eric did not look back. Before he arrived in New York, Chris said that he would come to visit with his girlfriend, and called again last night to talk about it.
Not far from the voice of Virginia and Chris, a few people said something, they came to Eric.
Eric saw Joanna squint slightly behind her chin and smiled, turning her head and seeing that the three had arrived behind him.
"Eric. The painting is so beautiful," Emily Brighton said with some admiration. She was very interested in painting, but unfortunately she had to apply for business school in order to pick up the family business.
Chris followed and joked: "Yeah. If you don't plan to be a director in the future, you can rely on this skill to discuss life."
Vegniya looked at the portrait that was about to be completed, and she felt some snacks, but she was reluctant to leave any images because she felt that it was the time when she looked so ugly. Thinking of this, Virginia glanced down at Eric, and vented the little grievances in her heart to Eric.
Everything blames this guy, for sure.
Emily and Chris, both on the other side, noticed the expression of Virginia. The corner of the mouth overflowed and snickered, but did not say anything.
Eric carefully outlined the lines and listened to Chris's teasing. Laughing: "Your opinion is not something you can't consider. Anyway, I have nothing to do recently. I can just make a place in Times Square to earn some money and buy a few packets of milk powder for two little guys."
These are of course jokes. After a few words, Virginia will pull Emily to prepare lunch. Eric is not at this time, Emily often visits two women. The three have become very good friends at this time.
Chris didn't leave, his hands in his jacket pocket. Looking at Eric's painting, he asked, "How long have you been planning to stay in New York?"
"If there is nothing else, I try to stay until the summer file," Eric thought, some not sure.
Chris smiled and said: "Listen to the tone of your words, I will bet you must not stay for so long."
Eric also shook his head gently: "This is no way to do things. When I say it, I envy many other peers. They can take a safe and secure vacation for several months every year. I heard that the telecom boss John Malone is yearly. I only work for six months, and the rest of the year has taken my family to vacation around the world."
The remote communication is the major shareholder of qvc, which Barry Diller is in charge of. Eric has been paying attention to qvc and Viacom's bidding for Paramount, so I also heard this anecdote.
"They are all old men. If they become famous, they can of course be more comfortable. And these people have not been able to do this to you. They only climbed to the top ten of Forbes' rich list at the age of twenty-three, aren't they?"
Eric sighed slightly: "Yeah, there are gains and losses, I hope the two little guys will not be too rusty for me in the future."
Chris didn't know how to pick up this topic, and thought about it: "Speaking of the rich list, I have registered several companies in Bermuda, Cayman Islands, etc., and I can use these offshore companies to us later. Several companies are holding investments to gradually dilute the stakes of fireflies in these companies. I have recently started to communicate with ABC’s AOL shares, and we now have 30% of our shares. In the home foundation, in this way, the firefly investment can become a 'empty shell' that will not appear on the list of shareholders of the listed company."
"This is the best. I was in Los Angeles a few days ago, but it was blocked by the paparazzi. Some guys are still ignited. It’s really annoying."
Chris smiled: "Even if we hide the firefly investment, if the firefly movie continues to develop at the current speed, you will be pushed to the top of the list one day, and now many people have questioned Forbes. The magazine underestimated the market value of Firefly's film industry, and Wall Street internally scorned the valuation of Forbes."
"Let's talk about it later, big deal, I will split the shares of Firefly's film industry," Eric said, suddenly thinking of one thing, asked: "How about the hotmail online mailbox, my recent documents Didn't see any news on it?"
"The server is already set up," Chris's expression was a little helpless: "The core code of the online mailbox was almost finished, and Steve Mitnick was dissatisfied with the encryption of the mailbox password, with himself. The team developed a new encryption algorithm. This time, I mean, if there are no other accidents, it can be used in April. But I have been paying attention to the trend of the Internet market, and I have not found any research yet. Technology companies like technology, so we can wait for a while, even if there are competitors, with our hands and the Yahoo portal, it is much faster to promote."
Eric nodded and became more and more interested in Chris’s guy, also called Steve. He said,
If you have time, you must see it. I am most interested in the perfectionist paranoia, especially Those who insist on their own perfectionist inclination."
Chris snorted and said, "After you see it, there may be an impulsive impulse."
After painting a painting, it was almost lunch time. Eric took off the drawing board and walked to Joanna sitting on the bench. He whispered a few words with the woman. The two then greeted Chris. Go straight up to the villa, Chris looked at the backs of the two, and looked at the solitary easel on the lawn, shrugged helplessly, smiled at the words of Eric, who had the opposite sex, and so on. The sleeves of the lower sleeves were stretched out and the easel was dismantled and picked up.
At lunch, the restaurant was completely home to three women. The woman was a very talkative creature. Plus Emily was very familiar with the two women. I was very talkative and squatted when I was eating. After talking with the two women from the birth of the little ones, after 18 years, I still had a lot of lunch. I opened Eric and Chris and gathered in a small living room in the villa to discuss a small prenatal party. thing.
Eric and Chris are not too interested in these topics, so they have to hide in the study and talk about the company's affairs. (To be continued)
