As expected, Lester Reed lamented in his heart. But in this case, he did not dare to refute, otherwise he would definitely be swept out of the house.

"Mr. Cohen, we might try to...try to negotiate with Eric Williams and re-sign the share agreement."

"Is this what you came up with?" Blunt Cohen sneered: "If you were Eric Williams, would you agree to re-sign the agreement?"

Lester Reed said with a tough bullet: "Eric Williams should know that according to the current box office trend, it is very unfair to Colombia, which invests far more than him, so..."

Before Lester Reed finished speaking, Blunt Cohen slapped the table and shouted: "Enough, fairness, when have you ever seen the world have fairness? What I want is a countermeasure, a countermeasure that can win more interests for Colombia, rather than a whimsical idea."

Lester Reed lowered his head silently and stopped talking. Blunt Cohen looked at the others and finally landed on Amy Pascal, who was sitting at the end of the conference table. At the beginning, Amy Pascal, the only one in the conference room, had objected to Eric Williams' betting agreement, which made him feel a glimmer of hope.

Blunt Cohen calmed his tone for a little while and said to Amy Pascal: "Amy, do you have any good ideas?"

Although Blunt Cohen spoke harshly in the conference room, Amy Pascal was a little absent-minded. She was already disappointed with Blunt Cohen. She had a conservative style, lacked courage, was suspicious and suspicious, did not calm down when encountering things, and did not have the style of a superior. I don’t know how Coca-Cola chose this mediocre president. Amy Pascal even felt that she might have changed her job.

However, when he heard Blunt Cohen ask himself, Amy Pascal still sorted out his thoughts and said, "Mr. Cohen, I have no way to do that bet agreement. Even if we directly let the movie be forced to be removed from the film now, we will never be able to obtain the copyright of "Home Imposses" for free. Instead, we will face a claim of hundreds of millions of dollars from Eric Williams."

Speaking of this, Amy Pascalton gave everyone a chance to think. Before Blunt Cohen spoke again, he continued: "So, what we should do now is to try our best to win over Eric Williams and seriously implement that bet agreement to show Columbia's sincerity. "Home Imperial" has a box office of more than 50 million US dollars, so overseas and other peripheral copyrights will be returned to Eric Williams. What's more, "Home Imperial" will definitely make a sequel, and we maintain a good cooperative attitude this time. When making the sequel, I believe that with Eric Williams's shrewdness, I will continue to work with us. I think this is the only way to fight for more interests for Columbia."

After Amy Pascal said, the other senior executives in the conference room couldn't help but nodded. Although Blunt Cohen agreed with Amy Pascal's point of view, he remembered that Amy Pascal might be friends with Jeffrey Hansen and Eric Williams, his suspicious personality made him feel that Amy Pascal's suggestions were somewhat biased towards Eric.

So Blunt Cohen couldn't help but speak again: "Amy, you are a Colombian employee. You should try your best to think about the company and not always look to outsiders. If you can find a way to overturn that bet agreement and gain more benefits for us, I will immediately promote you."

As if the scene a few weeks ago reappeared, she worked hard, tried her best to bring high-quality film projects for the company, and tried her best to make suggestions for the company. As a result, she was first kicked out of the project team of "Home Imperial". She felt that she needed to avoid suspicion and had no complaints. Then she was asked to speak because she was the only opponent of the wrong decision. She once again made suggestions that she thought were reasonable, but was questioned again.

This made Amy Pascal feel a little cold, and a strong aggrievance rushed straight into her forehead. She felt her nose slightly sore, and some liquid in her eyes could not be suppressed. Women were made of water, and she was just a woman.

He suddenly stood up, and the chair behind him was knocked to the ground because of her sudden movement, making a loud bang.

"Mr. Cohen, I quit!"

A cold female voice rang in the conference room. After saying this, Amy Pascal did not organize the documents in front of her like she did last time, but turned around and left the office.

"It's too much, it's too much, who do she think she is?" Because the incident in "Home Imperial" was already at the critical point, Blunt Cohen had no intention of reflecting on his mistakes at all, and slapped the table again and broke out, turning to the assistant behind him and said, "Notify the security guard and ask that Bichi to get out of here immediately, don't let me see her at the Columbia headquarters again."

"Okay, Mr. Cohen." The assistant agreed softly with his voice and stood up carefully to leave the conference room.

After taking a sip of coffee and stabilizing his mood, Blunt Cohen said coldly: "Okay, keep going, cheer me up, otherwise I wouldn't mind signing a few more firing documents today."

Although many people in the executives think that Amy Pascal’s advice just now is the most correct one, after all, professional managers who can sit in this conference room are quite capable. However, Blunt Cohen has completely fallen into a certain hysterical mood, and no one will risk being fired to support Amy Pascal’s advice.

Therefore, the executives could only grit their teeth and discuss. After several hours of discussion, everyone finally discussed a countermeasure.

As soon as the meeting ended, Blunt Cohen couldn't wait to say to his assistant: "Help me contact Mr. Michael Eisner of Disney. I invited him to dinner in the evening and said there was something important about "Home Imposses."

"Okay, Mr. Cohen." The assistant felt that the anger on Blunt Cohen had disappeared after the meeting, and he felt relieved and no longer so trembling.

...

The next morning, the first week of "Home Imperial" was disclosed by newspapers, and Eric, who had already received a lot of attention, once again became the focus of public opinion. If many news about Eric before the movie was released, were just made by the two giants to promote the movie, then it is now a spontaneous behavior of the media.

In this case, Eric, who had just returned to Los Angeles late the night before, woke up and found that the door of the house where there were no paparazzi wandering around was full of reporters. It was good, and the number of these people could only be described by piles. It was a thunderous area, holding various long spears and short cannons in his hands.

Because Colombia concealed intentionally or unintentionally, Eric did not get the box office information about "Home Imperial". But the moment he saw these reporters, Eric knew that "Home Imperial" had a big box office hit.

Although I am grateful to these reporters for "notifying" themselves in this way, Eric still had no desire to deal with the reporters. After breakfast, he directly touched the garage and planned to drive out of the reporter's siege and go to the Columbia headquarters to find out the situation.

However, it is obvious that Eric had never encountered such a "scenic" moment in his previous life, so the way of dealing with it was wrong. As soon as the car left the house, it was surrounded by a bunch of reporters. Several reporters even climbed onto the hood of his car, and while asking loudly, they slapped Eric in the driver's seat unscrupulously. Journalists from other directions also knocked on the car door and shouted various questions.

"Mr. Eric, what do you think of the box office of "Home Imperial" for $27.55 million in the first week?"

"Mr. Williams, do you think "Home Imperial" will surpass "ET"?"

“Eric, according to the betting agreement, you are about to become the youngest billionaire in Hollywood. What will you do after you have this money?”

"Mr. Eric, I am a reporter from the Los Angeles Times. Can you give you an exclusive interview?"

“Eric…”

“…”
