Chapter 1185 Arrangement

"You are very suitable for the role of Black Widow, but I have to make sure that you won't have any problems in the process of playing this role, so I was asked to evaluate you." Eric leaned against the back of the chair, as if he had not noticed the girl who was acting like a hedgehog, and said, "After so many years of crazy, you want to get rid of your current state, right?"

Julie did not answer Eric's question, but she had a little more defense in her posture.

Seeing that Julie didn't speak, Eric continued, "Last year you filmed "Gia", and this year you want to take on "Soul Girl". The characters in these two biographical films have many similarities with you. It can be seen that you want to examine yourself through them. Now, you are starting to fight for the important role of the mainstream commercial film Black Widow, which means you plan to change yourself and live another life. So, I decided to give you a chance, but it is also the only chance."

Although she really wanted to get the role in "Iron Man", Julie still instinctively resisted the feeling of being completely seen through in front of Eric. After a moment of silence, she finally spoke again: "Mr. Williams, I don't need this opportunity to give."

Eric glanced at the girl opposite, couldn't help but smile, and said, "What do you think is worthy of my charity?"

Julie's lips moved, and she was speechless. She suddenly felt that the smile on the corner of the man opposite her was very hateful, so she glared back like a counterattack.

"Actually, I am a person who really advocates rewards with hard work and rarely makes charity. So, you can get this opportunity just because you are suitable for this role, and there is no other reason. Moreover, if you want to get this role, it is definitely not just a guarantee and a supervision to meet the requirements. You need to do more." Eric said this and added: "Of course, I never force others to do anything. If you don't want to, you can leave now. If you want this opportunity, then we will continue to talk."

Julie had a little struggled expression. She knew very well that if she gave up this opportunity, several major film companies in the Firefly system would definitely completely close the door to her in the future. As for the other majors, due to the influence of the Firefly system, her chances of getting a film contract in the future will be very slim.

The choice given to her by Eric Williams is equivalent to whether she wants to continue to be an actor. But if she doesn't become an actor, she will completely lose her only life direction.

After hesitating for a while, Julie finally made a decision, looked up at the man opposite, with a little more habitual rebellious expression in her expression, and the initial indifferent tone, and said, "Okay, Mr. Williams, what should I do next?"

Eric took out a few pages from the folder just now and handed it over, saying: "United Nations Fund is currently conducting a medical assistance program for Southeast Asia, mainly providing free vaccines, physical examinations and health consultations for poor children in Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia and other countries. I want you to volunteer for three months. After you come back, you can get this role. However, during the next contract period, you will need to be a volunteer for three months every year."

Julie heard Eric's even inexplicable request, and put away the meaningless expression she had just made again. She frowned slightly and picked up the pages of information and flirted, looking up and said, "Mr. Williams, I don't quite understand."

"You don't need to understand, you just need to answer whether you want to," Eric shook his head, but did not intend to explain to Julie again.

In history, an important turning point in Julie's life was the process of filming "Tomb Raider" in Cambodia.

During the filming of the film, Cambodia's backwardness and poverty hit Julie a great impact. Later, she said in an interview that after seeing the people struggling to survive in Africa and Southeast Asia, she realized that the troubles of her adolescence were simply insignificant.

Later, many people always questioned that Julie's series of adoption charity acts were on show, but in Eric's view, these things were largely Julie's heartfelt behavior.

A woman who can exchange small bottles of blood with her lover and then expects to be forever is essentially an innocent child. In this way, a child who still has too much expectations for the world will definitely not lack his kindness.

Julie glanced at the information in front of her again, and there was no resistance in her tone, but she said again: "But, I'm not a doctor."

“Volunteers don’t need to be doctors. After you get over, they will naturally arrange the work you can do,” Eric said. “If you want, you can fly to Laos next week. The foundation team has been working for a while.”

"Okay, I agree." Julie nodded. Compared to her initial imagination of this meeting, it was acceptable to ask her to go to Southeast Asia to be a volunteer for several months. Her life has no goal. Apart from filming, most of the time spent on various unnecessary indulgence behaviors, so she even had some expectations for this different experience.

"So, you can go to the next door now to eat something," Eric pointed to the small door just now, stood up, and said, "You will definitely miss life in Los Angeles in the next few months."

The volunteer team running in Southeast Asia is definitely not traveling around. Although Eric has not experienced these in person, a friend once went to the southwest to participate in teaching. When he went there, he was full of fighting spirit and thought it would be a very interesting life experience. When he came back a year later, he ate what he saw and gained 20 kilograms in a month. Whenever he talked about that experience, he would cry. His tone was like Boss You who was abandoned in the ravine and turned into a weasel in the ravine.

Julie obviously had no intuitive impression of what she was about to face at this time. When she heard Eric say this, she sat down and didn't move, and even looked at her eyes: "So, Mr. Williams, is that all that?"

Although she is not used to accepting other people's kindness, Julie also realized that Eric's arrangement must be helping her get rid of her current state. She is also not a woman who is good at expressing gratitude, but suddenly she feels that even if something happens to the man in front of her is a very good choice.

Eric, who originally wanted to go to the next door, stopped, walked to the woman, and reached out to hold up his beautiful face. Although Eric had a standard thin lip control, he still had to admit that Julie's sexy augmented lips did look very attractive.

Julie was obviously not used to Eric's strong posture, which was almost playful. After a brief moment of being stunned, she suddenly turned her head, opened her mouth and bite one of Eric's fingers, and bit her with a provocative look on her face.

Eric slowly pulled his index finger from his augmented lips with a smile, and casually drew a wet mark on the woman's cheek, saying, "Let's go, I just said that if I want to sleep with you, I will tie you up first, but now there is no such time."

...

Julie flew to Southeast Asia in two days, and the casting work of the Marvel Cinematic Universe was basically completed. As for the "X-Men" series on Fox, it is still under preliminary planning and will be officially launched early next year.

Time is coming quickly in mid-October, with only the last month left before the release of "Georgeous" and the promotion of the film also began to sprint.

The promotional work of "Georgeous" is basically carried out in conjunction with the 3D and IMAX screening modes, and is even more inclined to highlight these two new screening modes. Firefly Group will also open some extremely small previews in the next month, inviting industry critics and ordinary movie fans to watch the movie in advance, thinking that the promotion of these two new broadcast modes will be laid the foundation.

On the Nasdaq market, after the rebound of last month was stopped due to the collision between Microsoft and the Firefly system, although the Firefly system had no intention of stopping, the market trend gradually stabilized. Under the hype of Wall Street, the Nasdaq Index began a slow rise again.

The investment market basically understands that waiting for Wall Street capital to completely cash out, the cold winter for technology stocks will come completely. Therefore, during this period, the Internet industry has begun to experience frequent integration and transactions.

While pressing on the two major businesses that Microsoft is trying to enter, the expansion acceptance of the Firefly system itself has not been affected at all.

In addition to several basically determined mergers and acquisitions, the next goal of the Firefly system is mainly to take advantage of the great opportunity of this stock market crash to further increase the holdings of the core corporate shares of the Firefly system through its strong capital strength and expand its own influence.

Previous investment in Amazon's convertible bonds and the about 5% of shares that Firefly Group have begun to recover, all belong to the layout of the Firefly system.

Firefly's operations in the open market cannot be considered too secret, not to mention that the entire capital market is closely following the actions of the Firefly system.

Therefore, the Firefly System's actions of secretly absorbing Sprint and Comcast, two basic operators, were soon exposed.

At the beginning of the year, after the Forbes Rich List of the new year, the financial analyst named Howard Glassman, who published an incisive analysis of Eric's personal industrial layout in the Washington Post, saw that the prediction that Firefly Group would next expand into the basic operator field to make up for the lack of its own vertical industrial chain became a reality, and once again published an analysis article of more than 5,000 words. After boasting proudly, he once again called on the federal government to limit the expansion of the Firefly system.

However, although this article inevitably aroused heated discussions in the media, it once again had a positive stimulus effect on the Nasdaq stock market.

Wall Street has spared no effort to advocate that since the Firefly system is still so optimistic about the development of new technology industries, there is no need for investors to worry too much about the new technology field.

In recent years, the federal government's restrictions on the expansion of large enterprises have become increasingly relaxed.

In Eric's memory, the US economic policy will be even more so in the next decade. There are more and more oligarchs in all industries. Several consecutive presidents are basically just spokespersons of industry giants in all aspects. Therefore, he is not worried that the expansion of the firefly system will be hindered by administrative aspects.

Of course, after the news of the further expansion of the firefly system gradually became exposed, all parties responded.

While busy with the release of Gravity, Steve Bernstein, who jumped to Comcast as chief operating officer last year, flew over from Comcast headquarters in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

In downtown Santa Monica, Steve Bernstein got off the car and looked at the building similar to a concert hall in front of him, as well as the poster of "Gravity" with a height of 16 meters and width of 22 meters outside the building, and felt a little shocked.

"Mr. Bernstein, please come with me," Caroline waited patiently for Steve Bernstein to look at the poster in front of him before politely making a gesture of invitation.

Steve Bernstein nodded and followed Caroline into the IMAX screening room in the theater.

In the huge screening hall, several staff members who had just talked to Eric had just left, and Eric was the only one sitting in the front seat.

The two said hello, Eric signaled Steve Bernstein to sit down beside him, gestured to the giant IMAX screen in front of him, and smiled and said, "How do you feel?"

Steve Bernstein smiled and said, "It's very shocking."

"It's a pity that there are still some problems with the equipment. Otherwise, you can ask you to watch a movie," Eric signaled around and said: "The standard 455 seats, carefully designed fan-shaped arrangement, and all the garbage seats with bad angles have been removed to ensure that each position can bring the audience the most shocking feeling. The 100 IMAX screening halls in North America are basically unified standards. Fireflies have not compromised due to some venue reasons. If they cannot find a suitable venue, they have also specially built a batch of brand new venues for this. Therefore, the '4200' plan is completely only allowed to succeed and not fail."

Steve Bernstein listened to Eric's words and said from the bottom of his heart: "It will definitely succeed."

"Of course, I am very confident. In fact, it is easy to do well in the film industry, just be more attentive. Of course, many failed film projects are not because the creators are not attentive, but because they are often too constrained."

Steve Bernstein said: "Like Warner Bros."

Eric smiled and nodded, saying, "Like Warner Bros."

Steve Bernstein followed this topic and said: "Eric, the reason why Time Warner is like this is because the company is too bloated and huge. Firefly Group is currently much stronger than Time Warner Group. Don't you have this kind of worry?"
