"Now, breakfast," Nicole casually placed the tray in front of Eric and sat down on the other side.

Eric, who had just sat down at the table, looked at the tray and asked, "What about the milk, and, as I said, I don't like frying on one side." ”

"Do you like to eat or not, and besides, I have a notice that I will go to New York for a few days, and I won't be here when I come back, so you can continue to ask the maid to help you prepare breakfast." Nico said as she poked the salad in front of her with a fork.

Eric smiled: "I haven't lost my breath yet, yesterday Drew left, today you are also gone, isn't there me left in the villa again." ”

"Hmph, then I don't care, anyway, if you beckon, there will definitely be women willing to pounce," Nicole said with a grunt.

"Okay, okay, I formally apologize for my actions yesterday, Miss Kidman, forgive me, okay?"

"Unforgiving, you're a bastard, my ...... That hurt for a long time. ”

Eric casually spread out the newspaper on the table and said, "That's not your fault, if you didn't always take every opportunity to tease me, this wouldn't have happened." ”

"You...... I'm not going to talk to you," Nicole pursed her lips and lowered her head, munching on the breakfast in front of her, clattering the vegetable salad as if it were biting Eric.

The girl used to look steady and heavy, Eric hadn't seen a girl lose her temper before, this was the first time I've seen Nicole play a little sex, to be honest, the appearance is really cute.

Laughing and getting up, he took milk from the refrigerator and poured himself a glass, and pushed it in front of Nicole: "Do you want a glass of milk?" If you eat salad all the time, your body will not be able to hold it. Good figure. Why do you suddenly have to go on a diet, I still prefer the feeling of meat. ”

Nicole glared at Eric again, but poured herself a glass of milk.

Eric smiled, took a few sips of milk, and casually flipped through the newspaper in front of him as he ate his breakfast.

After a while, Eric suddenly put down the cutlery in his hand and picked up a newspaper, and the photo on the newspaper was clear at a glance. It's the scene when he met with Cruise yesterday, the photo was taken through the glass window, Eric and Nicole are just a back, but Cruise and Paula. Wagner's countenance, however, was unusually clear.

"Tom. Cruise criticized "The Love of People and Ghosts" in person, and suspected of falling out with Williams. ”

"The famous Hollywood director Eric. Williams' new film is under intense preparation, and the selection of the male and female protagonists has also become the focus of attention. Yesterday, our reporter found that Eric. Williams & Tom. Cruise met at a famous restaurant on Wilser Avenue in Hollywood. Williams invites Tom. Cruise joins the leading actor of his new film.

But things seem to be very unsmooth, Tong guò to Tom. Analysis of Crews's lips. Our reporter found that the negotiations between the two sides seemed to be very unsmooth.

Cruise called the actor who starred in "The Ghost Love" "very stupid" in front of Williams. Tom. Cruise didn't have a relationship with Eric. Williams talked too much about "Ghost Love", but instead he and Williams' girlfriend, Nicole who became famous with "Sleepless in Seattle". Kidman had a great conversation, and at one point invited Nicole. Kidman joined his new film, and once again said that the heroine of "Ghost Love" has no room to play, just a vase that keeps crying.

Cruise and Paula. After Wagner and Williams separated, Williams and Nicole. Kidman sat in his seat for a long time, and we had no way of knowing what the two were discussing because of their backs, but after a while, Williams got up and left. Kidman chased after him with an anxious look on his face.

It depends, our playboy vs. Nicole. Kidman & Tom. Cruise was very dissatisfied with the conversation, perhaps because of his opposition to Nicole. Kidman starred in Cruise's new film to no avail, before leaving angrily, Williams and Nicole. Between the two Kidman, it is likely that Tom. Cruise, and there was a rift. ”

Eric reluctantly read the newspaper a few times, and then handed it to Nicole on the other side: "Look, something happened again." ”

Nicole took the newspaper in front of her and read it, then pouted: "The newspaper is right, there is indeed a rift between us. ”

"Nicole, in fact, your little temper tantrum looks very cute, I don't believe you go look in the mirror."

"Humph!" The girl snorted coldly, ignored Eric's teasing, and continued to eat breakfast.

Eric didn't have the heart to eat breakfast anymore, although he didn't care about falling out with Cruise or anything, but the newspaper appeared about Cruise's evaluation of "The Love of People and Ghosts" had to attract his attention, if it was not clarified and counterattacked, if the media turned their attention to "The Love of People and Ghosts", it might create preconceived notions among the public. It would be too bad for the movie to have a bad reputation before filming even started.

Picking up the newspaper and going to the living room, he dialed Kapoor's phone and discussed it with him, and Kapoor said that he would do his best to contact Cruise to issue a statement.

There was no mention of Eric and Nicole in the newspaper, indicating that the tabloid paparazzi really only knew part of the conversation by lip sync, not a recording. After Wagner left, the conversation between Eric and Nicole was more journalistic and would definitely be exposed.

Putting down the topic in his hand, Eric returned to the living room again, looked at Nicole, who was still eating breakfast slowly, and sighed: "Taytro reporters will read their lips, it seems that you should be more careful when you speak in the future, even if no one around you doesn't have a bugger, you can't talk nonsense." ”

Nicole rolled her eyes at Eric, ignoring her, who continued to read the newspaper while eating breakfast. But the meal was not destined to be so peaceful, and Eric soon saw a man and a woman walking side by side in another newspaper, the man looking courteous and the girl with a faint smile on her face.

Shaking his head, Eric picked up the newspaper and went to the living room again, dialed a phone call, and finally returned to the living room peacefully. Finish breakfast.

Had breakfast. Eric drove Nicole to the airport. then drove to the headquarters of the fireflies.

When I came to the office, it was almost ten o'clock, but it was just in time for ten o'clock to meet with Robert. Shay's agreed meeting.

Because of the box office success of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", these days Robert . Shay's situation is inevitably a little strange, after all, when Firefly bought New Line, New Line's market value was only $150 million, and Robert Shay took advantage of Eric's distress to barely knock out 10% of Eric's shares. Increased his total shareholding in Fireflies to 25%.

But then, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" was released, and the film got $30 million at the box office in its first week. Shay inevitably fell into a huge loss.

Because if he insisted on not selling the new line, then the current success of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" would be exclusive to the new line.

Judging by the current box office trend, there is no problem with the film grossing more than $100 million, in overseas markets, video tapes and peripheral markets. It is also very easy to get a total profit of more than 100 million, plus this movie can develop a sequel. With this film alone, the market value of the new line could at least double.

"It would have been nice if it hadn't been sold," said Robert. Shay has been beating his chest in private more than once these days, but nothing has helped.

In a small conference room of Firefly, four people sat down one after another around a small conference table. Shay introduced the two people around Eric and said, "Eric, this is the script I picked up these days, can you read it first?" Oh, and those two are Ronald. Bass and Nancy. Price, the screenwriter of this screenplay and the author of the original novel. ”

Eric nodded, took the script and looked at the title of the cover, his eyebrows suddenly raised slightly, and it read "Sleep with the Enemy".

In my memory, this is a movie starring Julia, and it seems that the box office is still very good.

"Eric, what's the problem?" Robert. Shay saw the strangeness in Eric's expression and thought that Eric was a little dissatisfied with this script, but this time, with "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" as a foreshadowing, Robert. Shay's confidence in his heart also increased greatly, and he even felt that even if he failed once, what could he do, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" had already transferred a lot of money for Firefly, and all this money should have been his, so even if Eric objected again, Robert. Shay had no intention of compromising any further.

Eric shook his head, "Nothing. With that, Eric let go of the script and quickly flipped through the pages.

It took a few minutes for Eric to finish the script and look up at Robert. Shay said: "Robert, are you sure you want to make this movie?" ”

Robert. Shay nodded affirmatively: "Eric, you said before that you won't interfere with my selection of scripts anymore, as long as I choose well, you will sign it." ”

Eric heard Robert. The unwillingness in Shay's tone, of course he could understand why, smiled lightly, and then said: "Of course, I will definitely be the talker, the script of this thriller is not bad, by the way, do you have a candidate for the actor?" ”

Robert. Shay had already planned to argue with Eric, but seeing that Eric didn't raise any objections this time, the inexplicable aura that had accumulated couldn't be vented, and he suddenly became a little embarrassed and silent, but then said: "Yes, this is also what I took Ronald today. Bass and Nancy. Price and the two came to the reason, Ronald, you can tell me. ”

Has been sitting Robert. Ronald, who was next to Shay, said: "Mr. Williams, that's right, after the script was written, Nancy and I agreed that this movie was written by Julia. Ms. Roberts was the perfect fit to play the lead role, but we had previously sent out an invitation, but Julia. Ms. Roberts' agent refused, and Mr. Shea said that maybe you could help. ”

"What do you mean, Robert?" Eric looked at Robert again. Shay.

Robert. Shay nodded, "I think too, Julia. Ms. Roberts was the most suitable actress in this movie, and I personally gave Kapoor a title to her. Sid called, however, Kapoor said that Ms. Julia didn't like the script and didn't want to act it. I suppose your relationship with Julia should be able to help persuade you. ”

Eric Mo pondered the script for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay, I'll give it a try." ”

"Eric, it's not like we don't know about your relationship with Julia, so could you please give me an accurate answer?" Robert. Shay continued.

Eric raised his eyebrows, thought about it, and nodded: "Okay, I promise Julia will star, but in terms of salary, you need to talk to Capper in person, now UTA is gone, and Kapoor and I are only good friends, so it's impossible to point fingers at Julia's salary." ”

"That's no problem at all," said Robert. Shay said: "By the way, this movie, I have a preliminary estimate, the budget is about 30 million US dollars, and I plan to find an A-level star to star in the actor." ”

Eric thought for a moment about the script he had just read, and then recalled the movie in his mind, knowing that the movie would definitely cost less than $30 million.

Looking at Robert, who is eager to 'argue' with himself. Shay, Eric chuckled and said, "Okay, $30 million." ”

Robert. Shay's accumulated breath had nowhere to vent again, and he picked up the cup in front of him with some irritability and took a few sips of coffee, for some reason, he was full of energy today, just wanted to quarrel with Eric, or something, but in his current position, Eric didn't give him any chance.

"Ronald, Nancy, you guys go to my office and wait a while, I'll talk to Eric about some other things, and I'll talk to you about the movie later."

"Okay, Mr. Shay," the two of them also had a good task, and realized that the atmosphere between the two was not too harmonious, so they quickly left the office.

"Eric, regarding the overseas release of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I think it's best to leave it to Disney to release it, Michael. Eisner's cut is very high, and if we do it ourselves according to your previous plan, I think we will make at least $10 million less. "Wait for the two of them to go out, Robert. Shay talked about the release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

"Michael. Did Eisner get in touch with you? Eric asked, surprised.

"Of course," said Robert. Shay seemed to feel that he had caught the displeasure in Eric's tone, and immediately said, "Eric, I know some time ago, Michael. Eisner did target you, but it's over, and you accepted the script for "The Ghost Is Not Over", and I think this matter can be over. And, I talked to Michael. Eisner's contact is also for the benefit of the fireflies. (To be continued......)
