After Eric and Murdoch met on Sunset Boulevard, although Murdoch put on a public performance, Eric was not unprepared, and he had some information revealed to the paparazzi who had been specially found in advance.

Therefore, early the next morning, a lot of plausible news appeared in many newspapers, for a while, Fox will continue to distribute all the films directed by Eric in the next three years, Fox will implement an equity swap with Firefly to ensure that the two sides can cooperate more deeply and long-term, or Fox will cooperate with Firefly to produce the special effects blockbuster "Jurassic Park" News like this popped up all at once, and although these news didn't seem to be a big deal in the eyes of ordinary people, they caused a huge sensation in Hollywood circles.

There is no doubt that many people in the Hollywood circle who know the inside story of the turmoil some time ago have realized that Fox has completely 'betrayed' the alliance of the seven major film companies and turned to Fireflies.

And after this turmoil, there is no doubt that in addition to the fireflies, which are safe and sound, Fox will be the biggest beneficiary.

Next, although Fox tried to clarify, repeatedly saying that Fox did not reach much cooperation with Firefly, the TV series "The X-Files" and "Who Will Be a Millionaire" two originally suspended programs were quickly restarted, which undoubtedly proved that Fox and Firefly have reached some cooperation agreement.

In this case, the alliance of several other major film companies, which had no expectations for this crackdown on Firefly, quickly collapsed, and in order to mend the rift between the two sides, several major film companies expressed goodwill to Firefly, hoping to reach some cooperation with Eric, after all, last year. The total box office in North America for the whole year can exceed the $5 billion mark, and a series of films related to Eric account for nearly one-fifth of the total box office. Therefore, no one will ever doubt Eric's prowess in cinema again. Since the suppression has no results, then win-win cooperation is undoubtedly the best way.

"Robert, the selling point of this movie is not pure lust, pure sex can only bring people a simple and short-term impulse, but when sex and love are combined with bloody violence, human desire will become extremely strong. This is the biggest selling point of the script "Instinct". You've probably read the script too. If the bed scene at the beginning of the script was just a bed scene, the audience might only whistle and let out a coaxing exclamation, but when the originally passionate sex suddenly turned into a blood-spattered slaughter, the audience's adrenaline would be quickly stimulated, and they would be sucked into the story unconsciously. ”

In the small conference room of the firefly, Eric is introducing the script of "Instinct" to Robert Shay, and Eric originally took out the script, and Robert Shay also expressed strong interest. However, when Eric later stated that he would not sign the script, Robert Shea became skeptical. Although Robert Shea read the script. also understands that Eric did not sign this script for the sake of his public image, after all, after the script of "Instinct" is made into a movie, it will definitely cause a lot of controversy.

However, this reason did not completely reassure Robert Shea, who had managed to secure a spot on his own for two major Zuò films this year during negotiations with Eric last year. If he messes up, then it will be difficult for him to ask to lead a major production of zuò movies in the future. can only obediently be responsible for the distribution of the movie.

Therefore, although the script of "Instinct" was written by Eric himself. But when Eric expressed his reluctance to have anything to do with this movie, Robert Shea had concerns, judging from Eric's response to the turmoil some time ago, and the recent methods of breaking down the alliance of the seven major film companies, Robert Shay would not regard Eric as a young man who was not yet twenty years old, so he did not dare to take over Eric's script with complete confidence, maybe this was a trick that Eric gave himself. In the event that the filmmaker Zuò came out and hit the streets, it was hard for him to imagine that Eric would not put the blame on him, after all, all the scripts that Eric had come up with so far were big sellers.

After thinking for a while, Robert Shay found another reason and said: "Eric, I think that when this movie is made, there will definitely be a lot of trouble in terms of classification, as you just said, the production cost of this movie is more than 20 million US dollars, and if it is assigned to NC-17, then we will definitely lose all our money." We've just had a confrontation with the Big Seven film companies for a while, and it's hard to guarantee that they won't get stuck in our necks in this regard, after all, everyone knows that the Film Classification Board is controlled by the Big Seven. ”

Eric listened to Robert Shay's insincere words, and understood what the other party was afraid of, and sighed in his heart, not planning to persuade again.

Since Robert is unwilling, it is better to leave the film to Jeffrey to operate, so that he can also intervene without any scruples and prevent the film from deviating too much from his previous life.

Just as he was about to speak, the mobile phone on Eric's right suddenly rang, and the ringing was unusually harsh in the conference room where there were only the two of them.

Robert Shay didn't show any displeasure, and gestured to Eric, picking up the coffee in front of him.

Eric hesitated for a moment, but reached for the mobile phone, and secretly prayed in his heart that he would not be a 'debt collector'.

That night, Eric accidentally got Elizabeth and Julia into a bed to play, although it was very exciting, but early in the morning, Eric had to run away again, otherwise, the two women got up early in the morning to find out about it, and it was difficult to guarantee that they would not do anything terrible. And he secretly left in advance, which could also leave a buffer time for the two women to calm down a little.

But things were beyond Eric's expectations, he originally thought that Elizabeth and Julia would come to him that day to 'ask for guilt', but it had been three days since the incident, and Elizabeth and Julia had not moved anywhere, and Eric not only did not feel relieved, but even more uneasy.

Gesturing to Robert Shay, Eric walked out of the small conference room with the phone and reached the end of the hallway to answer the phone. (To be continued)
