Chapter 158: let me think about it

Views:

"Eric, do you think I'm guessing right?" In the study, Drew, who was curled up on an executive chair to write and draw, approached Eric with a notebook full of advertisement names.

Eric looked away from the monitor, turned his head to look at it, and shook his head directly: "No, why are you writing this, do you want to participate in the lottery too?"

"Can't it? That's $10,000," Drew took back the notebook, thought for a while with a pen on his chin, and then lowered his head to change it: "This time?"

"Well, it's not right," Eric glanced again, and helplessly rummaged through the pile of documents on the desk in front of him, found some printing paper and handed it to the girl: "Take it, don't bother me anymore."

"I don't want it, I have to guess it all with my own strength," Drew glanced at it, and immediately refused. At the same time, he pulled the floor with his two legs, and dragged the swivel chair to move a little farther, as if he was close to the few pieces of paper. will tarnish your character.

Eric shrugged and turned his attention to the text on the monitor again, tapped the keyboard, and said at the same time: "Then can you not ask me this insider, this is not my own strength."

"Of course, you are also a kind of my personal strength." Drew said so, and changed it a few times, Eric couldn't help pointing out the biggest mistake in it: "Hey, TV drama shots don't count. Just place an ad and switch to a Canon camera."

"Wow, how can you do this, I want to guess a few more times!" The girl pouted and slapped Eric angrily, and then reluctantly corrected the mistakes that had not been discovered. She always thought that the footage of "Friends" should also be regarded as a placement advertisement. In fact, many people had the same idea.

Because "Friends" is also part of the hype, many fans, like Drew, naturally regard "Friends" as a product placement advertisement, and Columbia has not made a clear statement on this, leaving the public to guess.

Just after a pause, a soft little body lay on Eric's body again. The rubbing of the two bulging lumps of soft flesh on the back and the girl's faint scent immediately made Eric a little distracted.

"Drew, don't make trouble, give me the office chair if you don't want to sit on it, it's quite uncomfortable to sit on the stool." Eric shook his shoulders to get rid of the girl.

Drew hugged Eric's neck tightly like brown sugar: "Eric, I thought of another good idea to make money."

"Why are you suddenly interested in making money recently?" Eric grabbed the girl's arm and pulled the girl down.

"I'm jealous," Drew said unabashedly as he got away from Eric's back with the strength of Eric's big hand, but turned to sit down on Eric's lap.

"Um, what's there to be jealous about?" Eric gently comforted the girl with his arms around the girl's waist, knowing that the girl was stimulated by the share of his two movies "Home Alone" and "Pretty Woman".

But the fact is not like the media bragging that Eric already has 200 million U.S. dollars in cash. Although the share of "Home Alone" has already entered Eric's account in early July, he has repaid the bank's two 5,000 dollars. After the loan of 10,000 US dollars, Eric only has 20 million US dollars left, and this money must be shared with the actors of "Home Alone". According to the contract signed at the beginning, only Stuart Runkel will have to share 300 million US dollars first. Ten thousand dollars, and you can't be too stingy with other actors. In the end, it is estimated that Eric will not have much left.

As for "Pretty Woman", because of the 35% share in North America and 10% overseas, although Eric will also get a share of up to 105 million, however, Columbia settled the share in about a month. The film project of "Dark War" made a promise to Eric. But there is no such agreement between Eric and Fox, so everything must be done according to the rules. With Eric's current strength, in order to establish a good relationship with Eric, Fox will not maliciously default in arrears, but the money can be paid in It's not bad to settle within three months. Although "Feng Yue" has been released for almost a month, Eric hasn't even gotten a share yet.

Right now, looking at the girl in his arms who seems to be a little sullen, Eric didn't expect that the little girl who has always been heartless would have such a small emotion, and it feels... quite fresh.

Drew fiddled with the pen in his hand, and murmured: "That's more than 200 million. I don't know if I can earn 200 million in this life."

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Didn't you say you have a good idea to make money? Let me help you with it."

Drew immediately cheered up, stretched out his fingers and said, "It's like this, Eric, after the "Sophia Talk Show", didn't many viewers call and hope that those video tapes would be released to the public? I think This is a good opportunity. I heard that many video tapes can sell tens of millions of boxes. Even if we can sell one million boxes, the price is 30 US dollars, which is 30 million. After removing the cost, we can make a lot of money. wrong?"

Eric was not in a hurry to break the little girl's dream of getting rich, but asked: "Okay, then, I want to ask you, who gets the money?"

"Of course it's mine. I took the video with so much hard work." Speaking of which, Drew himself felt a little embarrassed, sticking out his tongue lightly: "The big deal is to give some to Columbia. You definitely won't You want it, right?"

"It won't work," Eric said, feeling a little uncomfortable, so he let go of the girl, kicked the stool aside, pulled the comfortable leather swivel chair and sat down, and took the girl over before explaining: " You forgot the most important thing, the content of the tape."

"Huh?" The girl blinked in confusion.

Eric explained earnestly: "I won't talk about the content of the video tape. You also included big stars like Cruise and Hanks in the video, and there are also many extras or crew members. No one gets paid for it. It’s okay if you just collect it, or play it for promotion like a talk show, but if you want to make a profit, you have to get everyone’s video one by one. Agree, otherwise, you will be sued in the future, even if you can earn 100 million yuan, it is not enough to pay. And to get the authorization of so many people, it is more complicated than shooting a big-budget movie."

"Wow, it's so complicated, let's forget it," the girl put her head on Eric's chest in frustration.

Eric patted the girl on the back lightly: "Okay, don't be depressed, making money is mainly for us men, you just need to dress yourself up beautifully, it's getting late now, earlier Go back to sleep, and let me write the script quietly for a while."

"But I want to make money, the summer vacation is still so long, it's boring, Eric, how about letting me take a movie? If I don't dare to do anything, I will become stupid." Drew said Eric was tired, and his little claws were still scratching Eric's chest.

"Okay, okay, let me think, think..." Eric rubbed his temples, glanced at the script of "Sleepless in Seattle" on the table, and suddenly recalled something.
