Eric had breakfast, and under the arrangement of the staff, he began to meet the guests attending the opening ceremony.
At nine o'clock, the opening ceremony officially began. Eric and Jeffrey Katzenberg boarded the temporary stage with the managers of the new park. After a short interaction with the media participating in the opening ceremony, Carson Berg stepped up to the microphone as Disney's CEO and began his routine speech.
"Welcome to Euro Disneyland, ladies and gentlemen, it's an exciting time..."
Eric has been watching everything around him with a smile on his face. In addition to the guests watching the ceremony and a large number of reporters, countless tourists have gathered in the square of the new paradise. Moreover, Eric also knows the various performances in the park. Everything is ready, and everything seems to be developing according to the expectations of many people.
With warm applause in the square, Katzenberg finished his speech and officially announced the opening of Euro Disneyland.
Amidst the sound of music and gun salutes, countless tourists began to flock towards the gate.
Eric, along with Katzenberg, led the guests attending the ceremony into Disneyland.
It was more than an hour after the entertainment was over, because it was the first day of opening of the park, and the management, including Katzenberg ∷↑, had to pay attention to the operation status at all times in order to deal with possible unexpected situations, so were distributed to their respective positions.
Eric bid farewell to Katzenberg and was about to go back to the hotel to rest and catch up on last night's sleep when Patrick Schneider's voice came from behind him: "Mr. Williams, please wait."
"Pat, what's the matter?" Eric stood by the side of the road. stopped and asked.
Patrick Schneider took out a floppy disk from his pocket: "That's it. Mr. Williams. Regarding the tourist survey you mentioned, I don't think it is necessary. We have done a lot of research work in advance. Moreover, it just opened today, judging from the current situation, the number of tourists on the first day will definitely exceed 100,000, everyone will be crazy busy, and there is no time... "
Eric took the floppy disk over. He also noticed the disapproval on Patrick Schneider's face, but Eric didn't feel much in his heart. The responsibility for the current situation in Euro Disneyland is not only on Disney's management, but all those involved in this project People are too optimistic and blind to cause the current situation. Everyone thinks that Euro Disneyland cannot fail, so there is nothing wrong with neglecting these small details.
"Since you are too busy, forget it." Eric rubbed the floppy disk in his hand, and continued: "But I happen to be an idler. You can transfer fifty people to me, and I will do it myself. The park has tens of thousands of employees , fifty people shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Patrick Schneider's relaxed expression tensed up again. Although the young man in front of him is twenty years younger than him, everyone knows his identity. Eric said it lightly, but how dare he let the big boss do it himself? Questionnaire.
Patrick is already middle-aged, and he is definitely a person who is able to climb to the top of Disney. He quickly felt that the reason why Eric wanted to do this so-called questionnaire survey was just a way to declare his power. I refused, which caused the big boss to rebound.
"Mr. Williams," Patrick Schneider hesitated for a few seconds, and quickly made a decision. He reached out to Eric, as if he wanted to take the floppy disk back: "In this case, let me arrange it. I will The results will be submitted to you within a week."
Eric smiled. Facing this executive who is very knowledgeable about current affairs, the displeasure in his heart just dissipated. His age has always been his weakness, and it is not the first time he has been underestimated: "Pat , you should do your own thing, just give me fifty people, and I will let my assistant do it."
Patrick Schneider knew that Eric was giving himself a step, so he nodded quickly.
Eric handed over the floppy disk again. Seeing that Patrick Schneider was about to leave, Eric suddenly couldn't help but stop him and asked, "Pat, do you really think there is nothing wrong with Euro Disneyland?" ?”
Of course, Patrick Schneider would not talk too much, he thought for a while and said, "Mr. Williams, there must be some problems, but this new park is completely built according to the specifications of our Disneyland in the United States, even if there are some flaws. , but there will never be any major mistakes.”
Eric had an urge to cover his forehead. He had almost realized that the biggest problem with Paris Disneyland was that it was built completely according to the specifications of Disneyland in the United States!
"Okay, go get busy, I'll let Allen contact you."
Patrick Schneider was a little puzzled by Eric's expression, but he didn't ask any more questions, agreed and left.
Eric originally planned to return to Los Angeles after taking a break after attending the opening ceremony. After all, the post-production work of "Jurassic Park" is going on intensely. It is not a wise thing to leave for a long time, but he realized that Euro Disney After problems with Paradise, Eric had to extend his stay.
In the next week, while waiting for the results of the questionnaire to be released, Eric basically spent all kinds of entertainment parties, except for the official party held by the French government to celebrate the opening of Euro Disneyland, there are also various Various private party invitations.
Another night of entertainment, Eric walked out of a mansion in the 16th arrondissement of Paris with a little drunkenness, and said goodbye to the owner enthusiastically.
This is a family party hosted by Nicolas Seydoux, the chairman of the Gaumont Company, and the guests are all famous French filmmakers. Whether it is in the past or in this life, Eric is not very interested in French movies, but he is very interested in this company. The Gaumont Film Company, which produced the film at the same time, was very interested, and some French filmmakers Eric was more interested in had also cooperated with the Gaumont Film Company, so they happily joined the party. However, perhaps it was bad luck, among the filmmakers attending the party tonight, there was no one Eric knew well.
The driver drove the car over, and Eric finally shook hands with Nicholas Seydoux: "Mr. Seydoux, thank you for your invitation. Next time you come to Los Angeles, don't forget to visit the Pointe Manor."
Nicholas Seydoux nodded with a smile: "I will definitely, Eric."
All the way back to the Disneyland Hotel on the outskirts of the city, Eric just walked into the hotel lobby when he saw Alan who seemed to have been waiting for a long time walking towards him.
"Eric, all the survey results have been counted, and a total of 10,700 copies have been made," Alan said briefly, and finally handed the thick file bag to Ai with a heavy face. Rick: "I think, you should come and see for yourself." (To be continued...)
