The next day, Eric personally rushed to the office building Drew rented for Flower Pictures on Venice Beach in the morning.∑.

You can see that the three-story buildings on the beach and the sea in the distance were rented by Drew, and most of the rooms were during the renovation process. Eric came here deliberately to talk to Amy Pascal about Flower Pictures in person.

Last night, we talked with Drew to the end. Under the entanglement of the girl, the two quickly moved their positions, and many things were not discussed and resulted in many things. Since Drew brought Amy Pascal, the former chairman of Sony Pictures, it was obvious that they would get twice the result with half the effort to talk about these things with more professional people.

In Eric's opinion, Drew is much better at employed people than her other aspects. For example, Eric has always been puzzled about how little girl regulates the Russian twins so obediently. You should know that the force of these twins is definitely at the actual combat level, but even if the little girl gets angry with the two, the twins will bow their heads and not refute, like a pair of docile kittens.

The twins had just appeared beside Drew. Seeing that the two girls had always had a cool and cold expression, but they did not have the temperament of a boxer at all, Eric was curious and had a fight with one of the twins in the gym of the manor. Or it could not be called "one game" at all, because Eric raised his hand and surrendered without persisting for a minute. He had a dark circle and was ridiculed by the little girl for several days.

Now, the girl made Eric unexpectedly convince Amy Pascal to join her Flower Pictures, giving Eric a feeling that he was even more out of the way than killing a chicken.

"Amy, how did you think of having trouble with Drew?" In the office, Eric asked this question that he was most interested in when he saw Amy Pascal.

Amy Pascal was combed with a big wavy hairstyle and looked in a good mood. When he heard Eric ask, he smiled and said, "Eric, you should understand. I came for you, and Drew knew I came for you."

"If that's the case, you can come to Fireflies. Fireflies are in the expansion stage. If you come here, I will definitely agree with it."

"I thought about it when I decided to leave Colombia, but the Firefly management system is very perfect. It is difficult for me to use my abilities if I join, so it is different here," Amy Pascal waved his hand gently: "This is like a piece of white paper. I can use myself to the fullest, and no one cares about me being a woman. Because the boss of the company is also a woman."

Eric looked at Amy Pascal's smug expression and asked, "Do you have your own complete plan now?"

"Of course," Amy Pascal really pulled out a document from the file cabinet next to it and handed it to Eric, saying, "This is what I have prepared these days, and I also gave Drew one, but I think you came back yesterday, so she must have not had time to give it to you."

Eric opened the document and understood why he wanted to seriously discuss the development ideas of Flower Pictures last night, but the little girl always seemed a little distracted. It turned out that she had a complete plan.

Looking at the document draft with more than ten pages, Eric closed the blue plastic folder: "Amy, let's talk about it briefly."

Amy Pascal did not object, saying: "I have studied the copyright of Flower Pictures. I think there are two copyrights suitable for Flower Pictures to develop at this stage, "Impossible Mission" and "Bonn's Identity."

"Impossible Mission" and "Bonn's Identity" are the TV version of "Mission Impossible" and the original novel title of "Spy Shadow". In Eric's plan, "Spy Shadow" will be suitable for development in a few years, and it is still too early, but he did not interrupt Amy Pascal's story and let the other party continue.

"...Flower Pictures takes a few years to make a few big profitable movies and have its own series of movies that can make stable profits, then it can be expanded by listing or issuing bonds. My personal advice is the first step. Work hard to promote the merger of Flower Pictures and MGM. With the situation of Sony Columbia, I think they will be forced to withdraw from Hollywood if they last less than five years at most."

Amy Pascal said that he looked at Eric with a meaningful look. Seeing that Eric's expression was completely different, he shrugged slightly and continued, "At that time, we can further abolition the Columbia Film Company on the basis of MGM. Of course, the rush of all this is the success of the film developed by Flower Pictures. First of all, in terms of film production funds, I believe that Eric you are the endorsement, and we can easily obtain funds from Wall Street or European Film Fund, or Firefly can invest in it personally, but I don't think you want Firefly to participate too much in Flower Pictures, at least not at this time, right?"

Amy Pascal's plan is obviously much more meticulous than Eric's original plan. Although Columbia and MGM both became Sony's subsidiaries in the original time and space, Eric never thought of letting Flower Pictures take over two companies from small to large. However, the feasibility of this method is definitely much safer than simply using large amounts of funds to acquire.

Although Eric originally planned to use Firefly Pictures to acquire MGM's film library in a few years, it is actually no different from falling into Firefly's hands. Hearing Amy's problem, Eric nodded and said, "Before the antitrust law is further relaxed, I really don't want Firefly to participate too much in Flowers. Although everyone knows what's going on, we law-abiding citizens always have to take the initiative to give Color C a reason not to cause trouble for us. Another point is that I hope that the theater distribution of Flowers Pictures will also be represented by other film companies, because Firefly's own projects have occupied a large amount of publicity and distribution resources. Of course, you can rest assured that in any case, Firefly is the most solid backing of Flowers Pictures. I just hope that the situation will never get so bad."

Amy Pascal nodded and said, "I talked with Mr. Cooper myself before leaving Colombia," when talking about Peter Cooper, Amy Pascal's eyes showed a clear look of disgust, but he said, "Colombia will be responsible for the distribution of Flower Pictures' movies, and Mr. Cooper promised to give Flower Pictures the best share conditions."

After spending half an hour talking about his plan, Amy Pascal said: "So, Eric, now you can tell me what you think. Although you haven't refuted me just now, I can also feel it. Do you don't agree with some of my views?"

"I'm definitely not as good as you professionals in terms of company operations," Eric smiled. "All I want to talk about is movies. Although big-produced movies have become the main profit trend in Hollywood now, I hope Flower Pictures can still get involved in the independent film production at low and medium costs."

The 1990s were the golden decade of Hollywood's solo films. Although most solo films have become expensive visual garbage, there are still many excellent movies that stand out every year, and there are many solo films with high box offices.

Amy Pascal obviously knew some of the situation, nodded and said, "Is there any?"

"I looked at the list of Flower Pictures' copyright library last night, "Impossible Mission", "Borne's Identity", and Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" series are the most valuable copyrights, and they all have the potential to develop into a series of movies. However, the latter two are not suitable for development now. What you can do now is "Impossible Mission", and I will personally provide you with a change of ideas."

Amy Pascal was a little disappointed: "Eric, is this one the only one?"

In fact, there was "Forrest Gump", but if you choose to produce "Forrest Gump", you can only be released next year. In that case, "Brave Heart" on Fox will definitely have a tragedy in the face of "Forrest Gump", not to mention that Tom Hanks is still filming "Save Private Ryan" in Ireland, and it is impossible for him to take on other movies in a short period of time. Therefore, Eric still plans to put "Forrest Gump" in filming next year and release in 1995. As for what Olympic awards films will be impacted by then, he will no longer be considered.

Eric was about to nod and hesitate before saying, "Last time in Berlin, I thought of a very good fantasy movie idea called "Museum Night". The script has been registered, so this can be handed over to you."

Amy Pascal was surprised and asked again: "Eric, aren't the scripts you wrote personally developed by Fireflies?"

Eric said: "The main videos of Firefly for the next three years have almost been decided."

Amy Pascal immediately remembered the project information that Fireflies had revealed.

"Save Private Ryan", "The True Lie", "The Lion King", "Jurassic Park 2", "One Day", "Toy Story 2", etc., and a series of films collaborated with Columbia and DreamWorks Films. It can be said that Firefly's main movies have been confirmed in the next three years. This made her a little envious. It is estimated that several other Hollywood film companies have the same mentality.

Although other film companies have begun to make big movies in the past two years, not many have succeeded because they do not have the special effects technical support provided by the digital special effects company under Firefly, nor do they have the magical existence of Eric. Even the most glorious Steven Spielberg in the 1980s is now left far behind by Eric.

Seeing that Amy had no problem, Eric said: "So, that's it, you can start preparing for "Impossible Mission" and "Museum Night" now, and you can also select some well-known directors' low-cost independent films to invest in."

Amy asked, “Eric, do you have any advice on the protagonists of these two projects?”

Eric hesitated and said, "I recommend Tom Cruise, the male lead of "Impossible Mission", but the condition is that Tom Cruise can only participate in this project as an actor and need to sign contracts for at least three films. As for "Museum Wonderful Night"..." Eric thought about it and found that Ben Stiller has not become famous yet. Except Ben Stiller, what Eric could think of for a moment was Jin Carrey. However, although Jin Carrey is very suitable for the position of the male lead of "Museum Wonderful Night", Eric and Jin Carrey are not very interested in cooperating with Jin Carrey: "This is selected from the more well-known comedians now. The specific situation is determined based on the actor's schedule and audition effect. This film focuses on the miraculously resurrected creatures in the museum, so the male lead is not the most important one."

Amy Pascal nodded, then suddenly shook his head, saying, "Eric, although Cruise's career has declined in the past two years, it is probably not that simple if he wants to sign a contract for three films at once. I have dealt with Cruise during the production of "Secret War Prequel". He is not the person he seems to be with. I am afraid he will ask his production company to participate in this project."

"I understand that you can try to contact each other and it won't bring us any losses. If he agrees, it's best. However, we can also make some concessions on the pay, but if he insists on over-engagement, then Hollywood is not unable to find a star that can replace him."

"I'll talk to him," Amy Pascal nodded, recording the memo games.

Eric waited for the other party to finish writing before saying, "Now let's talk about another very important thing."

"Hmm?" Amy Pascal immediately raised his head when he saw Eric looking very cautious.

"This happened to me last night. I had someone investigated Marvel superheroes some time ago."

"Eric, are you going to develop superhero movies like Warner?"

"There is no such plan yet," Eric said. "I mean, I have asked someone to investigate some of the copyrights of Marvel's superheroes some time ago, including Spider-Man, Captain America, and Fantastic Four. The copyrights of these superheroes are in the hands of which second and third-rate small companies, so I want you to buy them back for me."

Amy Pascal thought about the information about the Marvel Superhero before saying, "Eric, there are many Marvel Superheroes, and it is not that easy to get them all back."

"So, at least bring "Spider-Man" back, I'm actually most interested in this superhero."
