Eric saw the flaws in guilty little movements. Elizabeth's face finally felt a little hot, but the girl seemed to regard this confrontation as a "war". She was always very competitive and sat stubbornly, as if she was about to lose something together. However, seeing Eric not caring about her appearance at all, the girl became angry again: "Hey, what are you thinking?"

Eric didn't even look at her, and pointed to the floor-to-ceiling landscape light on the lawn not far away: "The lampshades over there are quite beautiful. I was thinking that you couldn't help but walk away. I took them back in the trunk of the car."

Elizabeth couldn't help but burst out laughing, but soon tense her face tightly and glared at Eric: "Don't even think about it, I'll look at you."

"That's really a pity." Eric sighed, but there was no regret in his tone.

"I said, can you be more serious?" Elizabeth finally felt helpless.

Eric snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand and threw it into the trash can next to him, and then said, "Okay, Liz, what's wrong? "

"I..." Elizabeth paused: "What I want to say is, don't forget to pay me a salary."

Eric felt puzzled: "Hmm?"

"Your director assistant matter is something my father asked me to go, but don't want me to do it in vain. I want to achieve financial independence as soon as possible, so that the old man can't threaten me with freezing my credit card."

Eric smiled: "What kind of director assistant do you really want to be? Liz, we all know your father's purpose, but neither of us has that meaning, so stop making trouble? Although you don't have any classes, I suggest you go back to school. Enjoy your last year's campus time. Once you leave, you will never find that feeling again in your life."

"You don't have to worry about my affairs!" The girl said dissatisfiedly, and said, "I have already made my own plans for my future, and I plan to be a film producer. So first of all, of course I have to be familiar with this."

"Oh? What should News Corp do? You studied media just to inherit your father's career?"

When Elizabeth heard Eric's question, he couldn't help feeling sad: "He... although he didn't say it explicitly, I still know that he hoped my brother could take over."

"Your dad is quite... traditional."

Eric didn't expect that Murdoch still had a tendency to favor boys over girls, which made Eric feel a little...friendly.

"The old stubborn is almost the same." Elizabeth muttered dissatisfiedly, and then said to Eric: "That, there is actually something else."

Eric realized that Elizabeth was talking about the serious business this time, so he nodded slightly and signaled the girl to continue.

"I have discussed with Julia. Maybe next year, after I have accumulated some experience, I plan to try to make my first movie, and she promised me to be the heroine."

"Then what?"

"So. I mean... can you... sell us a script?"

Eric did not answer immediately and took out the cigarette box. This time Elizabeth finally couldn't stand it. He hid the cigarette in Eric's hand and threw it into the trash can: "Hey, don't you realize that smoking in front of a lady is a very rude thing?"

"Okay okay, I won't just suck it," Eric raised his right hand, and then asked, "Not to talk about the script first. If you make a movie, where will your funds come from? Didn't you just say you want to be financially independent? As you are a rookie, even if Julia is the heroine, it is probably difficult to attract investment, right?"

"This is two different things. I thought about it. I first borrowed 10 million from the old man to set up a film company. The money was enough to shoot a movie. Julia also agreed to invest in the shareholding with the paycheck and finally get the share in proportion."

Elizabeth said it for granted, and seemed to be used to such things. Eric understood after thinking about it for a moment.

This is a common method for billionaires to avoid high inheritance taxes in order to inherit family wealth. Give their children a sum of money in the name of borrowing, assist them in establishing and developing their own companies, and wait for their children's companies to develop a certain scale, and then recover at a high price through methods such as share exchange and mergers and acquisitions. This method can allow the rich to pass on their wealth to the next generation at the lowest possible price. Of course, this inheritance method also has high requirements for their children's abilities. If the next generation cannot be covered with mud, it will be difficult to work.

Although Murdoch did not intend to let Elizabeth take over, if Elizabeth spoke, Murdoch would not refuse the inheritance of wealth.

Eric was thinking, and Elizabeth suddenly interrupted his thoughts and asked, "Eric, what are you thinking? Do you agree?"

"What do you promise?" Eric asked subconsciously, then he thought about it, showed a curious expression, and asked with a smile: "Story, then, how much do you plan to buy me a script?"

As soon as this problem arose, Elizabeth really stumped.

No movie script written by Eric himself has a box office score of less than 100 million US dollars, and almost every movie can bring no less than 50 million in profits to investors. By this standard, even if it is calculated based on the price of Hollywood's top gold medal screenwriters, it is definitely not enough.

"Look, you haven't thought about anything yet, so let's talk about it after you think about it."

After Eric said that, he stood up. As long as Elizabeth has no problem with his understanding, he must know that he is rejecting her.

This is actually not just a matter of money. Eric's "script" in his mind is unknown. Even if he gives one to Elizabeth, it's nothing. But now it's not possible. Although several consecutive movies have achieved box office success, his strength in Hollywood has not yet stabilized. If he takes out a script to make trouble for the other party and he cannot maintain his dominance and always keeps his control over the quality of the movie, if he messes up, it will destroy the undefeated halo he has built through several movies. Obviously, although Elizabeth has moved Julia, it is not enough to make Eric believe that the two girls will succeed.
