"So, do you still refuse?" Kapoor sat in the driver's seat and looked helplessly at Eric in the passenger seat.

Recalling the scene just now, Eric sighed and nodded.

Although Spielberg showed no displeasure on his face when he left, he just regretfully stated that if he changed his mind, he could contact him again. But Eric still knew that he had offended the famous Jewish director, which could be seen from the illiterate gaze of Spielberg's assistant looking at him.

If Spielberg expressed his intention to purchase copyright through others before and Eric refused, this time the rejection was much more serious. Spielberg came forward in person, which was a very sincere expression, and even equivalent to giving a favor to the door. If the deal was completed, Eric would not only receive a generous copyright transfer fee, but also get Spielberg's favor. This connection might bring him great help at any time.

But he could not transfer a very important piece in his future career layout for favors, even if it was a very heavy favor.

"Jurassic Park" involves a huge industrial chain worth tens of billions of dollars. Although Eric has never thought of monopolizing it, he must at least ensure that he can get the most delicious piece of the big cake in the future. Once the copyright is sold, he will completely lose the dominance of the project, and at most he can only share some leftovers after eating meat and drinking big cubes.

"Eric, would you like to hear my advice?" Kapoor asked.

"I know what you are going to say, contact Spielberg immediately and sell him the copyright of the movie, right? Kapoor, there is no room for negotiation on this matter, I will not sell it."

Kapoor touched his bald head in distress: "Eric, have you ever thought about your situation? You are now completely alone. You seem to be familiar with the senior executives of those film companies, but this is entirely based on pure interests. The reason why the other party is so kind to you now is because all your first few movies have been successful and brought great benefits to them. But no one will continue to succeed, and the next time you fail, it is time for them to turn against each other."

Eric said confidently: "I don't think I will experience the failure you said for a long time. I am very confident in my own movie."

"There are many factors that fail, and it may even be artificial." Kapoor continued: "Eric, think about it carefully. Compared to your strength, you get too many shares. It's okay once, twice, or even three or four times. They will only think that you are a lucky little guy, but if you keep doing this, the giants will suppress you at all costs and even destroy you. Just like lions on the grassland, they will allow hyenas to eat their leftover food, but they will definitely not allow a weak hyen to occupy more than the lion group."

Eric opened his mouth but couldn't think of any rebuttal. He knew what Kapoor said, but in fact he still hoped that he could find some solid allies, so that he would not fall into a completely isolated situation when he might be suppressed in the future.

Spielberg wanted to get the copyright of the movie "Jurassic Park" to be a great opportunity to get along with each other. Once he sold the copyright, the screenwriter of the movie would definitely not be able to get rid of him. Spielberg may have promised Fireflies to participate in the investment, which provided conditions for him to contact Spielberg and establish a good personal relationship, but Erics was still a little unwilling to accept it after thinking about it.

Kapoor noticed Eric's struggle and hesitation and continued to persuade: "Eric, do you know which Hollywood film company is the most similar to your fireflies?"

Eric raised his head curiously, Kapoor did not sell a lawsuit: "The most similar to Lianmei at the time. Chaplin, who joined hands with several other famous directors, founded Lianmei. The company is positioned as a simple production company that specializes in providing excellent films to other giants, which is very similar to Fireflies that have no distribution channels. As a result, those movie giants with complete distribution channels have survived except for the unlucky Lei Dianhua. However, Lianmei, which was originally known as other giants, has become a subsidiary of MGM. The big reason for this is that Lianmei paid too much attention to the production business and ignored the expansion of its own distribution channels.

When Eric heard Kapoor say this, his most familiar dream factory came to his mind. It seems that history is always surprisingly similar.

Later generations often saw the word "channel is king" in some economic articles, which is indeed a famous saying. In my memory of my previous life, some second-tier film companies in Hollywood, such as Lionsgate and Miramax, all started with distribution. Spielberg's DreamWorks and later New DreamWorks could only float between giants such as Universal, Paramount, and Disney. Sometimes, disputes over the share of one percent have to be very hard-working to the point of breaking up.

"The fireflies are not as good as those in the United States at the time, and they have almost no distribution capabilities. It is too easy for those movie giants that monopolize most of the distribution channels to deal with you. So you need some critical moments to really help your allies. Once a bad situation occurs, someone can help you shake flags and make a match, rather than being in an isolated situation. Hyenas cannot make friends with lions, but there is no barrier between the same kind. In this case, Spielberg is delivered to you and you still launch it. This is simply unwise."

If Eric was an indigenous person in this time and space, after Kapoor's conspiracy, deception and intimidation, he would definitely give up Jurassic Park, but unfortunately he was not.

"Okay, Kapoor, I get it." Eric nodded, looking like he was taught.

Kapoor happily handed his elder brother to Eric: "Then call Spielberg quickly, don't be afraid that the other party will think you are fickle. Eric, you are a young man, and Spielberg won't mind having this privilege."

Eric took the brick Motorola and put it in his hand: "Kapole, I just said I understand the importance of distribution channels to fireflies. He did not say that he wanted to sell the copyright of "Jurassic Park" to Spielberg."

Puchi-

Virginia, who had been listening quietly to the two of them, couldn't help laughing out loud. Realizing her ruthlessness, she quickly covered her mouth.

Kapoor seemed to be choked, staring at Eric with a speechless look, and finally took his elder brother back in disappointment: "It's up to you, I've said everything I can. Jeffrey is right, you are such a stubborn and paranoid young man."

"Don't worry, Kapoor, I have my own plans. Think about it, I'm an English-American, and I still have British nationality now. So even if I have a good relationship with Spielberg, I'm destined to be unable to enter the Jewish circle."

Eric has not considered these things. Among the few movies this year, his next three movies have already been settled, one for Columbia, and the other two for Fox based on previous contracts.

Although the other three movies have not yet been issued, he has received a lot of information about the release intentions from the Six majors. He can sign a distribution contract at any time as long as he is willing.

If all these movies can be sold at the box office like they did in their previous lives, they can accumulate a large amount of original funds for him. Even if one or two of them are not very ideal for the box office due to the butterfly effect, it will not hurt him at all. At most, it will only make a little less. After all, except for "The Dark War" which was a sucker for Colombia, the investments of several other planned movies are within 10 million. Even if only one movie is as big as the previous life, he can recover all the investment and make a profit.

After this year, as Kapoor said, the giants will definitely realize that he has taken too much and will try their best to suppress him and squeeze the benefits he deserves, but by that time he has already accumulated enough primitive accumulation and will not be powerless to deal with it.

Not to mention whether the Sixth Congress really formed a group to suppress him, even if such a less than one-percent chance really happened, we should slowly accumulate energy. Moreover, Eric did not believe that if he had the ability to bring huge benefits to the other party, the giants would reach an agreement to deal with him for a long time. If there were too many people and unhappy, the three monks might not have water to drink, let alone six!

"Kapore, let's get here tonight. Please lend me the car to use it. You can drive my one."

Kapoor looked at the girl sitting in the back seat of the car and shook his head, "No, Eric, you can't borrow cars randomly, let alone you have a drink. I'll take you home."

"Kapole, don't be so serious. Don't think that you can be a light bulb after shaving your head." Eric teased speechlessly, Virginia, who was sitting in the back seat, had already lowered her head with shame.

Kapoor smiled and said, "You misunderstood. I'm not that ignorant. I mean I'll send you back. I only drank a few sips of champagne. More importantly, I'm very experienced in dumping paparazzi. It was with this skill that I got my first employer. I don't want to run PR for the gossip news tomorrow morning. Eric, Beverly Hills or Malibu?"

"My house is too far away."

"Well, then you can go to the back seat and you may be photographed in the front row."
