There is no doubt that the biggest benefit among the actors is Julia Roberts. With the continuous release of "Wind and Moon", Julia feels that she has entered an unprecedented world. In a new world, everyone is so respectful and humble to her and treats her as a princess.

When ABC was recording a talk show, the entire production team was revolving around her. The director of the program carefully asked her for her opinions in every detail of the recording process.

At the same time, richly paid film contracts, advertising contracts, endorsement contracts and other invitations came one after another. Her pay rose directly to $5 million with the box office released on the first weekend, which made many male stars out of reach.

Al Pacino also completely got rid of the shadow of the failure four years ago, and became full of energy. Some friends in the circle who had not been in contact for a long time have suddenly emerged recently, and parties one by one.

Of course, some people are proud and some are frustrated. Richard Kiel, who has begun to cooperate with the United States to promote the new work "Veilong Killing Formation", is undoubtedly the most lost. His agent used to praise the project "Veilong Killing Formation" to the sky, and at the same time demoted Eric's new film to nothing. Although Richard Kiel knew the reason why his agent did this, he felt that he could reject Eric's invitation and sell Michael Orwitz a favor. So he chose "Veilong Killing Formation".

If "Feng Yue" had not achieved such a huge success, even if it was just a small box office hit, Richard Keel would not have much feeling. Unfortunately, "Feng Yue" was successful and it was a big success. The income in the first week was equivalent to the total box office of many movies. Richard Keel could no longer calm down after seeing these.

This uneasiness made him forget that it was more of his own choice to give up "Feng Yue". If the artist insisted on taking a movie contract, although CAA would give him little shoes later, he could not force the actors to stop the behavior. But Richard Keel still naturally blamed all the mistakes on CAA, and he felt that he had become a victim of Michael Orwitz's personal power play.

Coca-Cola's headquarters in Atlanta, a conference that is crucial to Columbia is being held.

At this time, Coca-Cola CEO Guo Sida was holding some information about the two movies "Home Imperial" and "Pretty Beauty" in his hand, and questioned the Colombian President Blunt Cohen, who was sitting at the bottom of the head one by one.

"The betting agreement is your first mistake. Of course, with the profits of "Home Imp", Colombia's stock price has risen from $12 before to $14 now. This mistake can be considered a result of merits and demerits."

After Guo Sida finished speaking, he changed another document and continued: "But next, your wrong behavior directly led to Eric Williams' transfer to Fox. According to the agency's estimate, the box office of "Feng Yue" may reach 200 million US dollars in North America, and the overseas box office may exceed 50% of the North American local area. The box office revenue alone can bring Fox at least 80 million US dollars in profits, which should have been from Colombia."

Blunt Cohen dared not refute a word and quietly waited for the final resolution of the Coca-Cola board. In fact, he had known his results before. The senior executives of the film company looked glorious, but few people could know the huge pressure they were facing.

With an investment of tens of millions of dollars, every time the movie is released, it will bring changes to the top management. Some people will directly leave because of huge losses and will never recover. Some people are promoted to high positions because of the successful project, enjoying more power and interests. Of course, they will continue to be frightened for the next project.

Blunt Cohen also knew that Eric Williams was just an inducement or excuse to face the current criticism. The most important thing was that he was opposed to Coca-Cola's selling Columbia to the Japanese.

According to the information revealed by some channels, the Coca-Cola board of directors has officially decided to start acquisition negotiations with Japan's Sony. In this case, it doesn't matter whether he, the president, or not, will be sold to the Japanese soon.

But in order to maintain his position, he contacted many people and wanted to boycott this transaction. This kind of thing must not be hidden from the top management of Coca-Cola. Once it succeeds, no one will say anything. But after failure, he will face the bitter consequences of failure.

“…I am therefore now officially announcing the Board’s resolution to remove Mr. Blunt Cohen from the position of President of Columbia-Samsung Film Group, effective immediately.”

After reading the board resolution, Guo Sida discussed some other topics before announcing the end of the meeting. As the president, Blunt Cohen was of course retained some decent ones and was not taken back by the security guards to collect his luggage by the Columbia headquarters in Los Angeles.

Blunt Cohen left with a look of dismay, but Guo Sida did not leave, but came to another reception room.

"Hello, Mr. Guo Sida." The woman who was originally sitting on the sofa stood up and reached out to greet him enthusiastically.

Guo Sida shook hands with the other party and smiled and said, "I've made you wait for a long time, Amy."

"It's okay, I've just arrived."

This woman is Amy Pascal who left Colombia not long ago.

"My assistant has told you what I mean, Amy, what do you think?"

Amy Pascal asked: "Mr. Guo Sida, I think there is no need for me to return to Colombia now. Although I resigned, I still heard some news that Colombia is going to be sold to Sony. In this case, what else can I go back to do? Will I be laid off again after a few months?"

"Of course not, Amy, you are a very talented professional manager. Even if the Japanese take over Columbia, they would not dare to make too much of the top-level changes. I have learned about your departure from Columbia. If Blunt Cohen had listened to your opinion before, there would not be the betting agreement that would have cost Columbia tens of millions of profits. And then, Eric Williams would not have switched to Fox."

Amy Pascal said: "Mr. Guo Sida, it makes no sense to say this now. I want to know more about the real reason why you brought me back to Colombia."

Guo Sida glanced at Amy and said, "Amy, you know Eric Williams, right?"

It's true!

Amy Pascal confirmed the guess in his heart and nodded: "Yes, but only a few encounters, maybe Eric won't remember me anymore."

"Haha, how is that possible? If it weren't for your help, how could the box office miracle of "Home Imposses"?"

Although Amy Pascal did not get any benefits from it and even lost her job. But when Guo Sida mentioned these, she was still a little proud.

"Mr. Guo Sida, if you want me to convince Eric Williams to switch to Columbia, it's unlikely, everyone knows that Eric has signed three film contracts with Fox this year. And by next year, Columbia is already in Sony's hands."

Guo Sida shook her head and said, "Of course not. I have also made people understand that contract. In fact, that contract is not too strict, because Fox originally wanted to get the second release right of "Home Imperial", so Eric Williams was not prohibited from cooperating with other film companies during the cooperation with Fox. After the negotiations with Sony, Colombia needed some good news to stimulate the stock price, such as... a big-selling movie."

"But……"

"Don't worry, Amy, I know some of your concerns. In order to successfully cooperate with Eric Williams, the board of directors has removed Blunt Cohen from Columbia."

Amy Pascal said in surprise: "Really?"

Guo Sida nodded: "Of course, otherwise, with Blunt Cohen's connections, the board of directors is not willing to make a big fuss. He can't sit in that position for long. When you come into contact with Eric Williams, you can reveal this to show our sincerity."

Amy Pascal thought of another question: "I think Eric Williams is shooting movies very fast, but three movies a year should be considered the limit, right? If there are more, how can the quality be guaranteed?"

"We will put his new movie in the summer season. With his current reputation, as long as the movie is not too bad, it is not a big problem to get a box office of $100 million in the summer season. And..." Guo Sida lowered his voice slightly: "I will give a sufficient budget to give Fox's second film, and we can even find someone to shoot it for him. He just needs to concentrate on making the movie for us."
