A Chevrolet stopped in the parking lot of Firefly headquarters. Jim Carrey got out of the passenger car, looked at the window again, and quickly made several facial expressions to make himself look more energetic. When the agent Carl Mekson on the opposite side also came down, the two walked towards the office building not far away.

After informing the receptionist at the front desk, the two walked into the elevator together.

Standing side by side in the rising elevator, Jim Carrey held his hands in front of him, put his feet on his feet, looked at the agent beside him and said, "It's really...unbelievable."

Carl Mekson also looked expectant: "Yes, that's Eric Williams. I thought it was a scam call at first."

Arriving at the top floor, the elevator door opened, Jim Carrey and Carl Mexon saw a man who looked about thirty years old standing outside the elevator.

"Hello, Mr. Carrey, Mr. Mexon, I am Williams' assistant, Allen Fisman."

Seeing the other party reaching out to him first, Jim Carrey quickly took a step forward: "Hello, I'm Jim Carrey."

"Of course," Allen felt Jim Carrey's crampage and smiled, "I've seen your performance material, Mr. Carrey."

After shook hands with Karme∝∈Kerson again, Allen said: "Please come with me. Mr. Williams is meeting guests. It will take a while. You can just take a look at the contract first."

Hearing the words of the contract, Jim Carrey and Carl Mexon both showed some excitement and came to a reception room. Allen handed the printed contract to the two of them. He said, "You can take a look first. I have some things to do. When Mr. Williams finishes his work, I will call you."

After seeing Allen off, Jim Carrey and Carl Mekson quickly opened the contract folder.

After reading a few pages in a hurry, Kalmexon looked up worriedly and said, "Jin, this is a contract of choice."

Jim Carrey just nodded slightly and still read the contract in her hand seriously. Noting that Jim Carrey did not react much, Carmekson continued to read.

After reading it, Kalmexon didn't know what he should say.

The contract in hand is neither harsh nor harsh. The harsh thing is that this contract requires Jim Carrey to shoot films for one film company within the next five years. This condition is very similar to the contracts of celebrities from the era of big studios decades ago. But the difference is that the contract does not stipulate that Jim Carrey must be like the era of big studios. Even the most famous actors can only get a dead salary. He can negotiate a film pay with the film company based on the box office data of his movies. Once Jim Carrey wants to breach the contract within five years, he will have to pay a liquidated damages of up to $100 million.

One hundred million dollars!

Carl Mekson glanced at the guy beside him. He had never thought that the actor he represented was worth $100 million.

Jim Carrey finished watching the contract. He looked up at the agent and asked, "Didn't Carl say he wanted to cooperate with Fireflies? Why did the contract show that I wanted to sign a contract with TG Film Company?"

Although Carl Mekson is just an inconspicuous little agent at the bottom of William Morris's agency, he is much more informed than Jim Carrey around him. After carefully looking at the closed door of the reception room, Carl Mekson whispered: "Elizabeth Murdoch, Drew Barrymore, and Julia Roberts, the founders of TG Film Company, have close ties with Eric Williams, and there are even rumors that they are all Williams' women. Recently, the popular Oscar film "The Silence of the Lambs" was produced by these three women with Williams' support, so signing with TG is not much different from signing with Fireflies."

Jim Carrey envied Eric's love luck and said, "What do you think of this contract?"

Carl Mekson could see that Jim Carrey was already tempted. For an actor like Jim Carrey who could barely squeeze into the ranks of third-tier artists, being able to cooperate with the popular Hollywood Eric Williams, this is a good thing for many actors of the same level to never dream of.

"Jin, almost all the restrictions on this contract are for you, and there are even liquidated damages of up to $100 million, and there are no terms on how many videos you have arranged within five years. Once you have a conflict with TG, they can even refrigerate you because of the huge liquidated damages."

Jim Carrey said: "How could I have a conflict with TG?"

"Actors who star in Williams' films will have a huge net worth. If you finish a film, your pay will rise to $5 million, but TG is only willing to offer you a pay of $1 million. Do you think you will have a conflict with them?"

Jim Carrey smiled and said, "Carl, I only received a $50,000 salary in that horror movie six years ago. Last year, I starred in a TV series and even only $2,000 per episode. Even as you said, it doesn't seem like a bad thing. If I miss this opportunity, I don't know if I have the chance to get a $1 million salary in my life."

Carl Mekson shook his head gently. He knew Jim Carrey's personality very well. Because he had experienced a long hard life in the lower class when he was a teenager, Jim Carrey attaches great importance to money. Although he looks like he is not much even if he suffers a little loss, once his net worth really rises to $5 million, he can only get a $1 million salary. It would be strange if Jim Carrey, who feels that he suffers a big loss, does not have a quarrel with the film company.

However, Carl Mekson did not say these words in his heart. No one would like to say that he was greedy for money. Once he reached a cooperation with Eric Williams, Jim Carrey's salary commission would likely become his main income.

"Kin, you have to think about it. Although I really want to help you fight for Eric Williams, you should understand that as we are, there is no room for bargaining with him at all, and we don't even know what the movie you are about to collaborate with Eric Williams."

While the two were discussing in the reception room, Eric was discussing the matter with Catherine Bigelow, who had rushed back from New York, about "Saving Private Ryan".

During the search for World War II information in New York, Katherine developed a strong interest in this history. She even found the prototype of "Save Private Ryan" in a large number of World War II historical materials. This surprised Eric a little because he didn't know that the story had a prototype.

Eric plans to let "Save Private Ryan" be released on the 50th anniversary of the Normandy landing in 1994. Catherine's plan is to spend one year to conduct detailed information research and field surveys, and begin preliminary preparations next year and start official shooting in the summer of 1993. This is similar to Eric's memory of Catherine's work rhythm, both of which were released in about three years.

Moreover, three years of production of a war epic movie like "Save Private Ryan" is not long. The complicated preliminary preparations cannot be completed in a few months. It can reproduce the Normandy landing scenes and build the ruins of the ending of the movie. The countless military props from World War II in the movie require a lot of time to prepare. What's more, Catherine plans to do all this work alone.

After discussing some specific production details, Katherine, holding a pen in her hand, raised her head from a pile of materials and said to Eric: "About Captain Miller's candidate, I plan to..."

"Tom Hanks, I've contacted Tom. He said he'll make time for this movie."

Catherine paused and asked, "Tom Hanks. The nagging single dad in Seattle Night?"

"Yes, I didn't expect you to have watched this movie, how do you feel?"

"It feels like a woman was filmed," Catherine said bluntly, and then realized that she was also a woman, and said, "I mean... well, the plot of this movie is very delicate and it is not a script that a young man like you can write."

Eric was calm on the surface, but he was amazed at the woman's keen intuition. The original version of "Sleeping in the Night in Seattle" was the work of female director Nora Efron. However, Eric was quite thick-skinned. He lay on the desk and approached some women opposite him and said, "You know, I am a genius and cannot be measured by common sense."

Catherine leaned back slightly, rolled her eyes to Eric, and said, "But you promised not to interfere in this movie. And Tom Hanks is a comedian."

"Tom's acting career is very broad. He just acts in many comedies. You can take the time to invite him to an audition. I promise that Tom's performance will surprise you. If you are not satisfied with Tom's performance after the audition, you can still find the candidate you want," Eric said, showing a sly smile: "But with your professionalism, I will definitely not deliberately deny Tom's to be angry with me, right?"

"Well, I'll get in touch with Mr. Hanks."

Catherine said as she stood up, packed the materials in front of her and put them in a bag. She looked at Elizabeth who had been sitting in the corner and looked down at the magazine. She only greeted Elizabeth when she came. Catherine keenly felt that Elizabeth was hostile to her, which made her feel a little funny. How could she grab this little bastard from her: "You must have something else next, so I'll leave first."

Eric also stood up: "I'll send you out."

After seeing off Catherine, Eric returned to the office. Elizabeth had occupied his large chair and looked at him with her chin: "I didn't expect you to like this kind of woman?"

Eric picked up Elizabeth and threw it aside, sat down on his own, then said, "What kind of woman?"

Elizabeth reached out to gesture over Eric's head and teased, "As long as she wears high heels, she will be taller than you."

Eric has grown to 185 cm in the past two years and smiled: "As long as she doesn't wear high heels, she will be lower than me. Besides, women will always be lower than men in bed."

Elizabeth spat with a red face, remembering the ridiculousness of last night, so she had to change the subject: "Do you think Jim Carrey will accept that contract?"

"As long as he has a normal mind, he will definitely accept it."

Elizabeth found out the contract drafted by Eric, sat down at Catherine's original position, and said, "But I feel this contract is very strange. The terms you made are all to suppress his pay in the future. So why not just sign a contract with him for several movies at a low price, which is easier to do. He is just an unknown person now and will definitely accept it."

"That would only make a lot more irritating. If his salary increases by 1 million and his contract only gives him $100,000, in his contract, do you think he will honestly make a movie for you?"

"Why can't it work? Anyway, there is a contract, and at worst, you can go to a lawsuit."

"Even if he compromises and makes a movie for you at a low price, you can't prevent him from being passive and slacking off. He will deliberately mess up the movie. Moreover, once the contract is understood, the two parties will get into evil, and there will be no possibility of cooperation."

Elizabeth shook the contract in her hand: "But I think your contract is likely to mess up the relationship between the two parties, right?"

"We will pay him a salary according to his value. The penalty of $100 million is just a restriction that he will not deliberately offer an outrageous price. I have asked someone to investigate this person. If there is no restraint, he will definitely speak out. Moreover, after five years of cooperation, I think there is no need to cooperate again. At that time, his net worth must exceed 10 million US dollars, and he may even participate in the share of the movie. If he cooperates again, it would be equivalent to working for him in turn."

"Okay, you always make sense," Elizabeth still didn't agree with Eric's point of view.

Eric just smiled, picked up the microphone on the table to notify Allen, and let Jim Carrey and Carl Mekson come in.

A moment later, the office door was knocked, and the two of them pushed the door and walked into the office. Seeing that there was another woman here, there. Although they had heard of Elizabeth, neither of them had seen what a girl looked like. They couldn't help but look at Elizabeth curiously for a moment.

Eric did not pretend to behave, gently stood up to say hello to the two of them, and introduced Elizabeth, and the four of them sat down on the sofa in the corner of the office.

"So, Mr. Carrey, and this Mr. Mexon, right? Have you considered it?"

The two looked at each other, and although they knew there was little hope, Carlmexon still plucked up the courage and said, "Mr. Williams, is this contract too harsh?"

"Truthless, what do you mean?"

"For example, the five-year limit is also a $100 million penalty," Kalmexon said.

"As long as you don't plan to breach the contract, these seem to be nothing big, right?" Eric curled his expression and looked at the two people opposite him, with a smile on his lips: "Do you have considered breach of the contract before the contract has been signed?"
