At around ten o'clock in the evening, at the entrance of a famous restaurant in Beverly Hills, four men were talking and laughing and saying goodbye to each other. Obviously, the dinner was very enjoyable.
Eric and Katzenberg watched the two family members of Columbia Pictures leave in the car before walking towards their respective cars together.
"What two idiots, it's hard to imagine that they just agreed," Katzenberg shook his head, thinking of some agreements reached during the dinner, and sighed in disbelief.
"You're wrong, these two guys are very shrewd, if they can get this cooperation agreement with Firefly, they can at least stay in this position for several years, and the sacrifice is only the Japanese only benefit."
Katzenberg understood what Eric meant, and still couldn't help but sigh: "If the two of them can manage the company well and get enough compensation in the future, Columbia will be one of the top seven anyway."
Eric shrugged: "If the two of them had that talent, they would definitely do it."
The cars of the two were next to each other. When they came to the car, Katzenberg did not rush to say goodbye. Instead, he followed Eric into his car. Eric knew that Katzenberg must have something to talk about. , gave way to the inside, and by the way, put on the car fender to separate the front ▼↖, the driver in the row, the less people know about digging the corner of Colombia, the better.
"Eric, instead of dividing this part of resources to Firefly and Disney, it is better to use it to grow a distribution company, so how about letting Bowei International take care of this?" Katzenberg closed the car door, very Straightforwardly put forward their demands.
Although this plan was first thought of by Katzenberg, it was just at dinner. It was also Katzenberg who was primarily responsible for negotiating with the Columbia duo. However, it is impossible for Eric to agree to Katzenberg's request.
If Katzenberg was promised. Then the strength of Disney's Bowei International Distribution Company will increase to the same distribution capacity as Warner and other giants in a short period of time, and the headquarters of Firefly will also be far away, and then, Firefly's international distribution will also have to be more. Relying on Bowei International, such a development will create an unfavorable situation between Firefly and Disney.
"Jeffrey, what do you think of Michael Lynn's?"
Katzenberg was taken aback for a moment, not quite understanding what Eric meant when he suddenly said this. However, after a brief hesitation, he still said bluntly: "A very mediocre person, well-behaved."
"Although the acquisition of Disney, in the eyes of many people, I have reached the pinnacle of power in Hollywood, but I don't think so. The acquisition of Disney is just the beginning. I have to do more things, for example, unify Hollywood. Will All seven Hollywood studios are integrated."
"Eric, this is impossible." Katzenberg seemed to be looking at a paranoid patient: "Don't talk about integrating all seven companies, even if you plan to acquire a major film company, you will be subject to strict scrutiny by the Federal Trade Commission and regulation."
"Of course I know this, but I can't do it directly. I can use other methods, and I have already consulted some people. This method is absolutely fine and will not violate the federal anti-monopoly law. I even have my next goal. "Eric replied without changing his expression: "However, Firefly will always be the leader of the business empire I imagined, and it is a window for me to show my strength to the outside world. The opponent surrendered. So, you have to know that this part of Colombia's resources can only be given to the Firefly headquarters."
As soon as Katzenberg was about to rebut, Eric continued: "I just asked you what you think of Michael, and I have the same opinion, but Firefly is in the development stage, and what is needed is a leader who is enterprising. , although I can make high-grossing movies, I am not good at managing them."
Katzenberg instantly understood something, and a look of joy flashed across his face.
"Two years," Eric stretched out two fingers: "Michael's contract still has two years left. During these two years, as long as Disney can achieve impeccable outstanding results, I will let you replace Michael and take charge Firefly Group."
Katzenberg made a quick calculation and quickly made a decision: "Eric, then this time Columbia's resources can be transferred to the Firefly headquarters, but regarding the film cooperation, I hope to use the name of Disney."
"This is no problem," Eric quickly agreed, remembering the original time and space when Katzenberg mercilessly squeezed Jobs's Pixar studio, Eric said with a smile: "Although we have reached an agreement , but for the specific peace agreement, you should come and talk to them, not only to let Sony headquarters feel that this is great good news, but also to strive for enough benefits for us."
Anyway, this cooperation will definitely be a one-shot deal, and Eric believes that Katzenberg will be merciless.
"I will prepare a negotiation plan," Katzenberg nodded, and after discussing things, he opened the door and left Eric's car after saying goodbye.
…
"Mr. Williams, hello," "Mr. Williams, good evening," Eric returned to the Angle Manor, and after entering the villa, he heard a pair of crisp loli voices, who could be selected as Mickey The little girls of the Mouse Club have very nice voices. But Eric felt his scalp tingling.
"Mr. Williams, good evening," Drew, who was wearing a cropped denim jacket, stood up with a smile, imitating the voices of Britney and Christina, and greeted Eric sweetly.
Eric just glanced at the pile of shopping bags on the sofa and knew what the little girl Drew was doing with the two loli, but these were not his concern. Subconsciously, he looked at his watch. It was past eleven o'clock. He felt a faint chill in his heart, and stretched out his hand to pull Drew out of the small living room.
"Why are they here, and it's past eleven o'clock, why are they still here?" Eric asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry," Drew certainly knew Eric's scruples, and explained: "I came here directly by helicopter, and no one knows that the two of them are here."
"But they know it themselves. Don't they. And the two of them will not go home overnight. Their parents will also ask about this matter. Now, send them away immediately."
Drew still wanted to refute, but Eric stared at Xiao Nizi sternly: "Didn't you hear about Woody Allen? You don't want me to get into such trouble, do you?"
"Okay, okay, I'll send them back now." Drew turned around and returned to the living room with some dissatisfaction.
Depressed, Eric went to the kitchen to find something to eat for himself, thinking about how to deal with this unscrupulous little girl later.
While the milk was heating up, a small figure walked in like a cat. Eric turned around sharply and saw Christina's figure.
"Mr. Williams, my mother has returned to Pennsylvania during this time, I... I told my mother to stay at Miss Drew's house during this time, tonight... can I stay tonight, I promise not to cause trouble of."
Eric looked Christina up and down. Although he, as a big man, is completely insensitive to luxury goods, he can also see that the girls' suit that Christina is wearing now is definitely not cheap. The shiny bracelet on the girl's hand must be a real gem and not some imitation. Although it is a child star of the Disney Children's Channel. But these are definitely not what Christina can afford now. Obviously, these are Drew's arms. Xiao Nizi is obviously developing the money worship complex in the hearts of the two Lolitas.
"Mr. Williams," Christina saw Eric staring at her, subconsciously puffed up her newly developed small breasts, and called out again in a low voice, with one small hand still clutching the door frame tightly, with a pitiful and lovely expression look like.
Although he knew that Christina's pitiful appearance was mostly pretending, Eric couldn't bear to refuse: "Okay, you will sleep in the same bedroom with Drew later."
Christina almost jumped up for joy, thanked her enthusiastically, and approached courteously: "Mr. Williams, I can also make things. May I prepare supper for you?"
Eric raised the warmed milk in his hand: "No, a glass of milk is enough for me, let's go out."
"Oh," Christina followed Eric out of the kitchen like a little tail.
Hearing that Christina could stay, Britney was obviously very unhappy, but Eric was very firm. Britney's father had a 'convict record', and Eric didn't want to mess with him because of that greedy guy. trouble.
Eric quickly sent a car to take Britney, who was obviously reluctant, away.
"Eric, look, what about this tie? I've been choosing it with Boob and Chris for a long time?" Back at the villa, Drew picked out a tie from the pair of shopping bags and put it together. He gestured in front of Eric.
Eric had been busy all day, and planned to go to bed after drinking milk, but he didn't care about it, so he glanced casually and said, "Not bad."
Drew stuck out his tongue, knowing that he was making Eric depressed again, so he stopped teasing him, and leaned over obediently: "The filming progress of "Ghost in Mask" has been completed by 30%. , Liz and I bought two more comedy scripts recently, do you want to read them?"
"Forget it, you all bought it, it must be good," Eric shook his head.
"Also, Jim Carrey is pursuing Claudia Schiffer recently," Xiao Nizi began to gossip when she saw that Eric was not interested in these things.
Eric froze for a moment and asked, "Isn't Jim Carrey married?"
"That's right, men are like this, eating what's in the bowl and looking at what's in the pot, but Claudia doesn't care about him at all, hehe, she's guarding herself like a jade for you," the little girl said barabara, Christina, who was pretending to be obedient, heard the first half of Drew's words, looked at Drew with wide eyes, and then at Eric. Drew quickly realized that he had 'said the wrong thing', and rubbed against Eric flatteringly: "I didn't mean you."
Eric finished drinking the milk, put down the empty glass, and pinched Drew's baby face: "Go to bed early, I'll go to rest first."
When Eric's back disappeared, Drew quickly changed from a docile cat to a little wild cat. Following Eric's appearance, he pinched Christina's face: "See, Eric is fine. Get along."
Christina nodded her head humbly. Drew looked at the shopping bags in the living room and said, "Let's pack it up and go to bed."
Christina obediently packed things together with Drew, but couldn't help asking: "Dru, why is there no servant in the villa?"
"Why not, there are dozens of people living in the manor, but apart from routine cleaning work, Eric doesn't like irrelevant people coming here," said Drew and looked at Christina with a smile: "So Said, you are very lucky, ordinary people can't get in at all."
Christina nodded flattered.
After the two packed up the shopping results, Drew took the girl to his bedroom.
Watching Drew take off her clothes and get into the bathroom, Christina finally had a brief moment of relaxation, cheered silently, and threw herself on the big soft bed in front of her. Her parents were divorced, and she had been with her mother in Burbank before In the rental house, although the life of the mother and daughter is much better than that of Britney's family, the conditions are definitely far different from those of the Pointe Manor.
These days, Drew has indeed given the money worship 'education' to the two Lolitas as Eric just thought, and the results have been remarkable. The two girls have seen the luxurious upper class life in Hollywood, and a lot of mental changes have taken place in a short period of time. Big changes, and even a feeling of disgust for the surrounding environment before him. During this time, the two girls have been desperately trying to please Drew, hoping that Drew can help them escape their original environment and enter the world they have seen recently.
"Eric."
A soft body got into his arms and let out a low cry. Eric, who was awakened in a daze, put his arms around the girl's waist, raised his hand and patted the soft buttocks: "Sleep!" .”
Drew giggled, leaned into Eric's ear and said, "Eric, what do you think of them?"
"Don't make trouble, be careful if you make a fool of yourself, I'll drive you out too," Eric warned solemnly, sobering up a little.
"I know. Although they are a little small now, they can be raised slowly. Didn't you say that?"
"What did I say?" Eric asked subconsciously.
"Don't make trouble, be careful if you make a fool of yourself, I'll drive you out too," Eric warned solemnly, sobering up a little.
"I know. Although they are a little small now, they can be raised slowly. Didn't you say that?"
"What did I say?" Eric asked subconsciously. (To be continued..)
