After the champagne, the party officially began. As a film project that can bring Fox hundreds of millions of dollars in profits, even Fox's current president Barry Diller had to attend the celebration of "Feng Yue" in person.

In addition to the members of the crew of "Feng Yue", Fox also invited dozens of stars of all sizes to support the event, and the party scene was brilliant. However, after all, there were many big names on the scene, and the banquet hall of hundreds of people was in order, and the guests gathered together in groups of three or five to talk about their topics.

"Eric, the promotion and distribution department is really too conservative about the Super Bowl trailer. I promise that Fox will fully cooperate with you when your next movie is released."

Don't be the next time, this time it can also be included in the promotion and reimbursement.

Eric complained in his heart, but with a smile on his face: "Mr. Diller, don't mention this matter anymore. The $1.5 million Super Bowl advertising fee is indeed a big expense, and it's understandable that Fox is more conservative."

Barry Diller smiled and did not mention it again.

This old fox!

The topic was once again shifted to Eric's next movie. After "Wind and Moon", although Eric's next movie had not even seen the shadow, it was naturally set by Fox in the summer.

This year's summer season is full of blockbusters, including Warner's "Batman", Paramount's "Raiders of the Lost Ark 3", and Columbia's "Ghostbusters 2", these are destined to be big box office players.

Because Fox turned too much attention to the development of the TV network, the total number of movies produced and distributed this year was only more than ten, ranking last among the six majors.

In order not to be at the bottom of the film performance, Fox is destined to fully support Eric's films, especially after the great success of "Feng Yue".

It is not easy to get a high box office blockbuster in summer. Eric could not get the already famous sequel to "Home Imperials" in the summer. After thinking for a long time, he decided to have an idea that he had had before.

"The next movie has a preliminary plot outline, and I plan to invite Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise. It will be a two-man rivalry."

Barry Diller's eyes narrowed slightly. If it succeeds, the box office guarantee of this movie is at least $100 million based on the box office appeal of two Tom and Eric. With the end of the year's "Home Imperial 2", there are three big-selling movies a year. Fox's performance in movies is no longer criticized, and he can also develop the TV network with confidence.

"Eric, if you want to invite two Tom, the two will be paid no less than $10 million, right? What is your budget cost?"

Eric thought for a moment: "It should not exceed 30 million. This is a drama film. There are no big scenes and no special effects. It depends entirely on the personal performance of the two male protagonists. Therefore, the budget of $30 million is already very loose, and it is very likely that it will not be spent."

"I heard you just spent a lot of money to buy the studio of Jobs?"

Although Barry Diller's questions were a bit unreliable, Eric immediately understood what Barry Diller meant. Fox still wanted to get involved in the movie investment.

"Yes, I asked Pixar to create a opening LOGO for my film company, and I was very satisfied after watching it. I heard that Pixar was in trouble and wanted to take action. I happened to be very interested in animated movies, so I bought them. However, the cycle of animated movies is very long, and the 3D animation is in the exploratory stage, so I don't know when the first animated movie will be produced."

Eric ignored the faint helplessness on Barry Diller's face. Anyway, you are beaten around the bush and I will play drifting for you.

Listening to the little fox in front of you, Barry Diller had to point out the topic: "Eric, I mean, if your next film production is tight, Fox can be responsible for part of the investment, which can also reduce risks. And don't worry, Fox will not associate investment funds with the promotional cost, and the share agreement we signed before remains the same."

Barry Diller made the matter plainly, and Eric couldn't refuse directly. Of course, he would not give up his own interests. Of course, Eric could think of things Barry Diller could also think of. If two Tom were invited to succeed, the movie would not fail with the box office appeal of three people alone.

In the end, Eric could only say perfunctorily: "No problem, Mr. Diller, if external investment is needed, Fox will definitely be my first choice."

Barry Diller also saw Eric's perfunctory behavior and understood that Fox's chances of investing were almost zero. But he would not take any stupid moves like Colombia before. Both sides are still in the honeymoon period of cooperation. Although Eric made a little more profit than Fox according to the previous agreement, Fox also gained a huge profit that others envied.

After talking about some other topics, the two people were separated and socializing with others. As soon as Barry Diller walked away, Eric felt many eyes instantly focus on himself.

Okay, girls, please throw yourself into your arms. Who is the first to come and chat with you today? The next movie gives you a character. Eric has a little nonsense in his mind, and he also enjoys this feeling of being noticed. After all, he is still a vulgar person. If he doesn't have a little vanity, why are you doing this?

Soon he welcomed the first catcher.

Bald head, eight feet long, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a face that looks despicable no matter how you look at it, the most terrible thing is... she is a man.

"Eric, you're finally back. I want to know what you think. I think several of Julia's film appointments are good, but you rejected them?"

After finally deciding to indulge once, Eric was helplessly pulled aside by Kapoor.

"Kapore, don't you have the illusion of being penetrated by a thousand arrows?"

"Um?"

"You look around?"

Kapoor glanced in confusion and found that several beautiful girls around him who were not very good at hiding their emotions stared at him with bad eyes.

Although Kapoor is a workaholic, he is still very proficient in human nature, otherwise he would not be able to become an agent. He shrugged: "Sorry, Eric, you delayed your hunting and romance. But if you don't explain this to me, I will not be at ease."

Eric also wanted to explain to him that most of the movies that Julia had been successful in his previous life were romantic comedies. He just made "Wind and Moon", and it would be inappropriate to shoot this type of movie in a short period of time, so those movies in later generations cannot be brought out for the time being. He thinks that the most suitable movies for Julia were "Steel Magnolia", which won the Golden Globe Award nomination. It was a movie with both box office and reputation.

Unfortunately, after checking it before, Samsung Pictures has not started this project now, either it is swept away by the butterfly effect, or it has not started filming yet.

He couldn't write the script again. He was 100% sure that the original script had not appeared yet, or that it had nothing to do with his movies, so he used it with peace of mind. But he could not guarantee this movie now.

"Kapole, wait a few more days, I plan to go to the screenwriter's union to see if there are any good scripts registered and choose one for Julia."

Kapoor's mouth twitched: "Eric, do you know how many scripts the screenwriters have registered, thousands of them! I feel like I'm saying I'm going to San Francisco to buy a few tons of gold. Is that possible?"

It is of course easy to find out where the gold is buried. Eric just wanted to check whether the screenwriter of "Steel Mulan" has registered the script.

"Trust me, Kapoor, be patient, I will have you a reply soon."
