Because he had been tangled with Eric asking about her name yesterday, Kim Kardashian didn't sleep all night.

Kim Kardashian instinctively felt that Eric must be interested in her. At first, she was quite excited. If she could get along with such a big shot, no one would treat her as air again in the future.

But all day later, Eric's attitude towards her was nothing special, which made her both nervous and disappointed. After the party, she tossed and turned on the bed for several hours, and looked at the light that had already shined outside the window, and walked out. Unexpectedly, she would see Eric wake up so early and sit in the yard to read the newspaper.

Hearing Eric greeting her, Kim Kardashian responded quickly: "Good morning, good morning, Mr. Williams."

As he said this, Kim Kardashian stood there and waited for a moment. Seeing Eric put his attention on the newspaper in his hand, he hesitated, walked over and sat down at the other side of the long table, poked his head and said without saying a word: "Mr. Williams, are you reading the Los Angeles Times?"

"yes."

Eric responded with emotion, picked up the milk next to him and drank it. He glanced at Kim Kardashian next to him casually, but saw her sitting opposite the long table, her body slightly leaning towards her. Because she was only wearing a white close-fitting vest, the two bulging balls on her chest seemed to be placed on the table. This visual stimulation made Eric choke and spray out a mouthful of milk.

Kim Kardashian had noticed Eric's eyes, but she was a little proud. Seeing him choked, she quickly got up and came over and said, "Mr. Williams, are you okay?"

Eric waved his hand and saw Kim Kardashian handing over the box of tissues on the table, quickly took them, and pointed to the opposite side of the long table: "Don't come over, sit across."

Kim Kardashian was stunned for a moment and retreated back with some grievance, but she still intentionally continued to pose as she had just done. After Eric cleaned up the milk stains on her clothes, Kim Kardashian hesitated and suddenly said, "Mr. Williams, this is true."

Eric reopened a newspaper and blew casually: "It looks like a fake."

"No, really," Kim Kardashian shook her head, looked around the empty and uninhabited, and said boldly: "If you don't believe it, you can touch it, you will definitely touch it."

"Forget it, I won't give you an appraisal certificate even if I touch it," Eric smiled and shook his head, and said, "Did you come from New York?"

Kim Kardashian heard Eric ask her questions and quickly said, "Yes, how did you know?"

Eric shrugged: "I just think that the Hilton family must live in New York."

Kim Kardashian didn't want Eric to always treat her as Paris Hilton's follower, and explained in a scattered manner: "I, she and I are just classmates, and I came to Los Angeles to play during the summer vacation. And, well, I live in my dad's house, he is a businessman, he used to run a record company, and now he is in the juice business."

Eric felt something was wrong, and looked up and asked, "Your dad's name is Robert Kardashian?"

Kim Kardashian's eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded quickly: "Yes, Mr. Williams, do you know him?"

That's right.

Robert Kardashian, the famous defense attorney for the Simpson wife murder case.

But something wrong is that these are obviously memories of Eric's previous life. According to the information in his mind, the Simpson murder case should have happened in 1994. Due to the deep racial issues involved and the background of the Los Angeles riot, this unsolved case almost touched the nerves of the entire United States in the original time and space, which was a sensation.

However, in this time and space, it was 1997, and Eric had not heard of any news about the Simpson murder of his wife. It seems that some things have changed again.

"It seems that someone has heard of it," Eric said perfunctorily, but suddenly another thought came to his mind, saying, "I heard you say that, your parents should be divorced, right?"

"Yes, my stepfather is Bruce Jenner. He used to be an Olympic champion, but now he is mainly focused on TV."

"Oh, what about your mom?"

"Her name is Chris," Kim Kardashian said, and said, "My mother likes "Proud of the Bridge". She often says that one day she will participate in a reality show and produce something."

Eric didn't expect Kim Kardashian to mention this suddenly. He remembered the idea of ​​a life-related reality show about Hollywood girls yesterday. This project must have a producer. He and the girl could not do it themselves. Bruce Jenner and Kris Jenner, the couple who created "Walking with the Kardashians" in the original time and space, are obviously very suitable. Perhaps the two lack some experience in program production, but in Hollywood, where there are as many as one million employees in the film and television industry, there are never a shortage of technical production talents. All they lack is the idea of ​​being popular and the execution ability to realize these ideas. This is the point that Jenner and his wife who have done everything they can in hype in their previous lives is definitely far beyond ordinary producers.

After resolving his thoughts, Eric asked with a smile: "Is your mother really interested in reality shows?"

Kim Kardashian was a little confused, but nodded and said, "Yes."

"That's it," Eric looked around and simply took a piece of paper from the newspaper at hand, found a pen and wrote a string of numbers on it, handed it to Kim Kardashian, and said, "This is my assistant's office call, hand it over to your mom. Of course, don't you say that your stepfather's current energy is all on TV shows, so he can participate."

Kim Kardashian took the newspaper with phone numbers in a daze. Although she is still in high school, she has not lacked life experience due to the influence of her living environment since childhood. At this time, she instinctively felt that her family might have undergone earth-shaking changes because of this newspaper. She tightly squeezed the number in her hand and began to stutter again, saying, "Williams, Mr. Williams, me, then, what?"

"Do you remember the Hollywood girl life reality show idea I mentioned yesterday? Tell them about this, and in a week, make a reality show plan and show me first. If I am satisfied, this project can allow your stepfather and mother to serve as producers."

"Ah," Kim Kardashian felt a little unbelievable. Producer, in Hollywood, is the most powerful class. Moreover, the producers of TV shows are even more powerful than filmmakers. After looking at the numbers on the paper, Kim Kardashian asked uncertainly: "William, Mr. Williams, you can't, are you kidding me?"

Eric shook his head and smiled, "Your breasts are so big, I'm afraid you can't understand it if you joke."

Kim Kardashian really couldn't understand this joke, but her face heated up and said, "But, my stepfather and mom are both in New York, and my mom also has to take care of my two sisters, Kendall and Kelly are not yet three years old."

Eric shrugged and said, "This is not my business. If you can't see the planning book for a week, it's all right."

Kim Kardashian didn't dare to bargain with Eric, nodded obediently and said, "Then, okay."

Since it was summer and weekend, the girls basically woke up one after another just around noon. After the twins got up, Eric asked them to drive themselves back to the girl's mansion in Trausdale Manor. They processed some work emails in the morning and wanted to start writing the outline of "Fast and Furious" in the afternoon, but a group of girls rushed over after getting up and forced Eric to go crazy for most of the day.

Three days later, "The Lion King 2" won the top spot in the first weekend with a box office of $38.9 million, while "The Prison in the Sky" second place had a box office of only 24.1 million, with the difference between the two being more than 14 million US dollars.

Compared with the box office of "Fifth Element" that was cheated by Sony in May, which had only had a box office of more than $22 million in the first week, the box office performance of "The Sky Prison" is obviously not that bad. However, even if it doesn't mean that "Titanic", which just broke through $600 million in North America, compared with "The Lion King", the box office number of "The Sky Prison" can only be considered a failure.

At the same time, as the box office performance of several overseas ticket countries that opened at the same time did not meet expectations, and the reputation of "Air Prison" only barely reached the passing line, box office forecasting agencies and Firefly distribution departments have significantly lowered the original global box office expectations of "Air Prison" of $300 million.

Considering the subsequent series of super blockbusters such as "Godzilla" and "Batman and Robin", "Hollywood Reporter" even lowered the North American box office expectations of "The Sky Prison" to $80 million, and the global forecast was only 180 million. The Firefly Group also lowered the global box office expectations of "The Sky Prison" to $200 million. According to this estimate, the possibility that "The Sky Prison" will bring profits to Fireflies at the box office is no longer great, and the company can only place its profit prospects on later videotapes and peripheral releases.

Although anyone who knows a little bit better knows that there is not much box office competition between "The Lion King 2" and "The Sky Prison", it is an indisputable fact that "The Lion King 2" far surpassed "The Sky Prison". Paramount Pictures, which was severely suppressed during the early publicity process, exaggerated the "hard-forgettable" victory of "The Lion King 2". After the box office was released on the first weekend, it could not wait to announce that it would hold a celebration banquet.

Correspondingly, since Paramount Animation’s two consecutive animated films, “Poem in the Wind” and “The Lion King 2”, both achieved box office success, while Firefly did not even launch an animated film last year, the industry began to question Eric’s decision to sell Disney’s hand-painted animation studios. A San Francisco newspaper even criticized Eric’s move for selling Disney’s hand-painted animation studios as “Hollywood’s stupidest business decision.”

Due to these arguments, the box office performance of "Finding Nemo" which will be released in two weeks has also become more eye-catching.

The senior executives inside Firefly have naturally watched the film "Finding Nemo". However, although everyone expressed their affirmation of the excellence of "Finding Nemo", most people did not have confidence that this animated film could surpass "The Lion King 2". After all, the release date of "Finding Nemo" was sandwiched between "Godzilla" and "Batman and Robin". But even if you understand this, it is impossible to make any adjustments to the schedule at the moment. Everyone can only secretly expect that "Godzilla" and "Batman and Robin" will not be so high, so as to leave more living space for "Finding Nemo".

Although the main cast has not been confirmed yet, the creative teams of the two projects "Spider-Man" and "Iron Man" have been established. Cameron and his old partner Jon Landau are responsible for "Spider-Man". The producer of "Iron Man" is Eric himself, and Marvel Studios has also officially signed a director contract with Jos Whedon.

After the weekend, Eric began to have frequent meetings with the head of Marvel Studios and the creators of the two teams to discuss the script, casting, budget and other issues of the projects of "Iron Man" and "Spider-Man".

According to preliminary estimates, it will take half a year to develop and test the special effects technology of the two films.

At the same time, due to the huge scale of production, once the project starts officially, it may cause millions of dollars in losses to the company every day. Therefore, the preliminary preparations also require repeated consideration of all details. This part of the preparation time will exceed half a year, and it is not impossible to delay it for a few years. "Iron Man" in the original time and space has been preparing since the 1990s, and it was already 2007 that Cameron's "Avatar" sequel has been dragged into a lifetime series.

Of course Eric wouldn't let the two projects be dragged for so long.

"Iron Man" has initially formulated a project schedule. The film will officially start filming in March next year. The shooting is expected to take four months, and the special effects production may take eight months. If everything goes well, the film will be officially completed in March 1999 and will be released in the summer of that year.

As for "Spider-Man", Cameron basically overturned the script of that year and started writing a brand new plot himself again.

At the same time, Cameron recently had a sudden idea. In order to make the scene of Peter Parker flying between the skyscrapers in New York more realistic, he asked the digital field to develop a complete set of special effects software for him. These obviously take longer. Eric only hopes that the project can start shooting around the end of next year. As long as it can be released in the summer of 2000, everything will be fine.

While following the two projects of Marvel Studios, Eric also took the time to write the outline of "Fast and Furious" and gave it to the girl to find a screenwriter to supplement.

In history, the development history of this series has been stumbled. The first part was successful, which seemed more like an accident. The subsequent few movies were not ideal for the box office. It was not until the fourth part that the series began to enter the ranks of mainstream Hollywood blockbusters.

This time, although Eric didn't need to take so many detours, it was impossible to achieve it overnight. The first episode still roughly adopted the plot of the first part of the previous life. After all, the success after the fourth part of the series was also the result of the gradual popularity of the first few parts.
