In another room near the two crew lounges, Eric was chatting with the big guys who had arrived in other companies.
Although these executives are their own, many of them are very familiar with each other and do not feel unfamiliar when chatting, because executives from the seven major film companies are very frequent.
For example, Barry Diller, who was not present, was in charge of Paramount before 1984 and is now the CEO of Fox. Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Carsonberg, who were originally in Paramount, were both Barry Diller's deputy at the time. One of them is Disney's CEO and the other is Disney's president. If history does not change, Jeffrey Carsonberg will serve as the CEO of DreamWorks in a few years. Before joining the company, Amy Pascal of Colombia was an executive of Fox. It was precisely through these complex interpersonal relationships that several major film companies ensured that they compete with each other and had full cooperation with each other.
"Eric, how many box offices are you going to reach for the two movies this time? Let's talk about it first, so we can also have a reference when quoting?" Michael Eisner asked in front of others. Although he looked as if nothing had happened, he had some inexplicable expectations in his eyes.
Eric put down the coffee cup and smiled: "Mr. Eisner, to be honest, I can only guarantee that the quality of these two movies is excellent. As for how many box offices it can get, it depends on the reaction of the audience and the market."
"This is not possible. You are just young and become so smooth. Young people must be a little bit brave to do and speak." Paramount's president Nad Tarn said. The other party was an old man almost 60 years old, with a white hair and a graceful face, and a kind face. This sentence also sounds like an elder motivating his younger generation, which will naturally make people feel close.
Eric smiled and looked humbly and looked like he was taught, but in fact he was complaining in his heart that these old guys were more tactful than the other. If he really listened to their opinions, he would wait to be cheated and count the money for the others.
Speaking of which, Paramount has been severely damaged since Barry Diller and Michael Eisner and others left with a large number of senior executives. Now his film performance is in a mess. Only one movie "Raiders of Lost Ark" can be made this year, but the producer and director of "Raiders of Lost Ark" are the famous George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. Both are very smart film merchants. Paramount is probably able to earn some hard-earned money for distribution, and most of the benefits must be separated by George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.
In previous analysis, Eric felt that Paramount might be the one with the highest offer. This time the test film will adopt the method of a dark label. After everyone has watched the film, they will each offer their own conditions. Fireflies will decide which party to cooperate with based on the share conditions offered by several film companies. However, the appearance of Michael Eisner immediately made the expected results confusing, because Michael Eisner's attention may arouse the competitive desire of other major film companies. After all, it took him only five years to make Disney's performance soar. Now his "stories" in Hollywood have even surpassed his old boss Barry Diller.
Alan Fesman gently pushed open the door and walked to Eric with a slight foot, trying not to highlight his presence, bent down in Eric's ear and said, "Mr. Williams, Fox's people are here."
Eric nodded and smiled and said to Michael Eisner and others: "Sorry, wait a moment, I'll pick someone up."
After walking out of the room, Eric took Alan toward the elevator, and the other party was probably coming up. Alan said at this time: "Mc, who was receiving downstairs, said that there were two people coming to Fox, and in addition to Carta Hunter, there was also a woman."
Eric was stunned for a moment before asking, "Did you recognize who the other party is?"
Allen shook his head: "I don't know, Mike said that the girl was only about twenty years old and very young, but Carta Hunter was very respectful to her."
Carta Hunter is in charge of Fox's film release, and in terms of level, he is also at the vice president level. It is probably only a few people like Barry Diller, among whom there will definitely be no girl in her twenties.
Unable to figure it out, Eric didn't think much about it anymore. When he came to the elevator, the special elevator just made a jingle sound, and a man and a woman walked out.
"Hello, Karta," Eric walked forward with a smile, hugged Carta Hunter, and glanced at the blonde standing beside Karta, looking at her with interest. The girl looked about twenty years old, 1.7 meters tall, and her short blonde hair had just covered her ears. She was very beautiful, with a slim face, her eyebrows and eyes, wearing a black and white plaid shirt and light yellow casual trousers, and wearing black flat shoes.
This should be a standard career-oriented woman, and Eric had an idea because she was very similar to Amy Pascal sitting in the lounge.
After saying hello to Carta, the other party was about to help introduce him, but the girl took the initiative to extend her hand: "Hello, Mr. Williams, my name is Elizabeth Murdoch."
Eric raised his eyebrows slightly. From the Murdoch family, with Carta Hunter's attitude towards girls, Eric felt that the other party should be Rupert Murdoch's immediate family.
"Hello, Miss Murdoch, you can call me Eric."
The girl let go of Eric's hand and asked seriously: "Then why don't you call me Elizabeth?"
A aggressive woman, Eric thought to himself and said without any haste: "Because we just met and without permission, it is inappropriate to call a girl's name randomly."
Elizabeth Murdoch raised her chin slightly and looked at Eric: "Okay, Eric, I allow you to call me Elizabeth."
"Forehead……"
Seeing Eric's embarrassing look, Carta Hunter quickly smoothed out: "Eric, Elizabeth is the second daughter of Mr. Rupert Murdoch. She was intern at Fox recently. She was very interested in your movies..., so she wanted to come and see it. I hope you don't mind."
"Of course not," Eric said with a smile: "Let's go to the lounge. The test piece will start at two o'clock, and you'll have to wait a little longer."
