When he was looking to buy a film company with a distribution channel last year, Eric also collected information about Orion Pictures. ==If you have already read this chapter, please move to "/" to read the latest chapter, or search for "" or "" directly on Baidu, please remember our new URL. /[ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,]

The film company was founded in the late seventies at about the same time as the Weinstein brothers' Miramax.

However, compared to Miramax, who has always been petty, the establishment of Orion Pictures can be described as huge, attracting a large number of famous filmmakers such as Francesco Pola and Sylvester Stallone to cooperate, and even the first part of "Terminator" was released by Orion.

After Orion was founded, eighteen films were produced in just five years, and ten of them were profitable, which is definitely a very high proportion among film companies.

Therefore, Orion Pictures was once rated by the media as the most threatening Hollywood player against several major film companies, and it also caused competition between Viacom's Summerray Shidong and MetMedia's John Kruger, and finally the wealthy John Kruger won the control of Orion Pictures with a huge amount of money.

But since the late eighties, Orion Pictures' situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and for several years in a row, Orion Pictures has become more and more in debt due to the loss of producing zuò films, and it is facing bankruptcy at any time.

"Okay, don't be sarcastic, I heard that John Kruger is already planning to sell Orion to oil tycoon Marvin Davis, that's a big financier, maybe it will make a comeback."

"When did you see the message?" Karta asked.

Eric thought for a moment and said, "A week ago, a story in The Hollywood Reporter. ”

Karta said: "Then you must not know that this business has become yellow, Marvin Davis bought Twentieth Century Fox and lost a lot of money, and had to resell it to Mr. Murdoch, how can it be planted again." John Kruger is already planning to discontinue Orion, and I heard that the company's production department is preparing to take over the rights to Orion's "Addams Family" TV series. ”

Eric just shrugged, "Whatever, let's talk about ours." ”

"About the second option......" Karta nodded, and was about to continue, when suddenly he looked at Eric earnestly. said: "Eric, I suddenly figured out something, since the copyright of "Dances with Wolves" is in your hands, Liz has a trick to win this movie. You must have instructed it, right? ”

"Yes," Eric didn't deny.

Karta hesitated, remembering Eric's usual vision, before asking, "Then what do you think of the box office prospects of this movie, if you are optimistic." We're going to put it next year's Thanksgiving, and if you're purely trying to make way for Silence of the Lambs, it's going to be released on Christmas? ”

"It's definitely a film with the potential to hit the Oscars for Best Picture, that's all I can see, and as for the box office, I really don't have a clue, but it shouldn't be too bad," Eric said honestly.

"In that case," Karta said, seeing that Eric had no confidence in the film's box office prospects, "then follow the distribution strategy of 'Rain Man'." In December, but because it is Christmas, film companies with this theme can only take out a maximum of 1,000 screens, but we will definitely do much better than Orion in terms of publicity. ”

After spending several hours discussing the details of the cooperation, and when Eric was sent out of the office building, Karta asked, "Eric, although there are some problems with this position, but I am still curious, since you won the rights to this movie, why don't you do the distribution yourself?" ”

Eric said helplessly, "You think Lizzy will be willing to go crazy for no reason." Also came back with the nickname Princess Fox? This is the condition we negotiated at the beginning, the copyright belongs to me, the distribution belongs to Fox, and the little girl is like a little hamster. I want to pull everything into my nest. ”

Kartahaha laughed: "This is a matter of course, she is the daughter of the Murdoch family after all. ”

Jennifer Connery left in the morning after doing the so-called voice acting of "Toy Condor", because it was not yet time to get off work, Eric did not return directly to Joanna's villa, but went to Burbank and took care of some official business in the office. before leaving at the end of the day.

The next day, without incident, the New York Post appeared in the scandal report of him and Jennifer Connelly, the article did not use the photo of Connery when he threw himself into Eric's arms, but chose a photo of a girl holding him affectionately into the Fox office building, in this way, if the two people don't want to admit it, they can also say that they are good friends, and it's okay for good friends to hold each other's arms, believe it or not.

Except for the somewhat ambiguous title of 'Another Jennifer from Williams', the content of the article is quite restrained, explaining the past of Eric and Jennifer Aniston, and describing in detail the resume of Jennifer Connelly's birth as a child star, as for the relationship between the two people, the report uses a completely speculative tone.

After a few introductions, the news began to turn to Jennifer Connelly's recent "Toy Condor", in fact, after a little thought, most people will find that this is a promotional advertorial, but the promotional advertorial mixed with scandals is a subject that readers like to see, even if many people can see at a glance that the credibility of the news is not high, but it is always more eye-catching than those extravagant movie reviews.

Many movies use this method when promoting, but most of those used are scandals between the male and female protagonists, but this time, "Fighting Condor" used the scandal between the heroine and Hollywood's hot young director Eric Williams to hype up.

As for Charlie Sheen, the actor of "Fighting the Condor", although he is barely a quasi-first-line actor because of his participation in "Field Platoon" a few years ago, his influence is still far from comparable to Eric's.

Although Charlie Sheen is also a famous playboy in Hollywood, if he uses his scandal with the heroine, he will definitely be able to attract considerable attention, but considering the relationship between Connery and Eric, even if someone brings it up, the distributor will not risk angering Eric to do so, after all, Eric's current identity is not just a director, not to mention that Jennifer Connelly will definitely not cooperate.

Eric didn't care too much about this report, but after several women saw it, they called over to test it, since breaking up with Aniston, Eric has not confirmed an official girlfriend, of course, several women can't have no ideas, but for this kind of temptation Eric is all perfunctory, he doesn't have this idea at all.
