Chapter 382 - It's very into the play

Since August, Robert. Shay had already foreseen the crisis, and since Eric didn't get him involved in anything about Preavista's filming base, Robert Brown. Shay was already aware of this.

It reminded him of Barry six years ago. What happened to Diller, Barry. Diller brought Paramount to the top, but because of the partnership with Paramount's majority shareholder, Martin. Davis's contradiction was almost kicked out of Paramount Pictures in the end, but over the years, Paramount's declining performance and Fox's prosperity have also proved that Martin. What a mistake Davis made back then.

Robert. Shay is still a little self-aware, he knows that he can't compare to Barry in terms of ability. Diller, but he also knows he owns Barry. The advantage that Diller does not have is that he has 25% of the shares of Firefly in his hands, and most of Firefly's employees are subordinates during his new line period.

Robert. Shay had always been confident that if Eric forcibly expelled him, the Firefly would be more damaged than Barry. Diller's departure was a much greater cost to Paramount. So even if the crisis is felt, but Robert. Shay didn't think Eric dared to go too far.

In fact, he also understands in his heart that Eric wants him to let go of the production business and only participate in the idea of distribution. But in any film company, the production power is the object of competition at the top, if he is only in charge of film distribution and does not participate in the rest of the company's business, what is the difference between a distribution manager?

It's the end of another day's work, and Robert . Shay stood up and moved his body for a moment, and looked at his watch, it was close to five o'clock. A few words to the assistant. Then he habitually packed his things. Put on your coat and leave the office and go home from work.

Robert. Shay's office was adjacent to Eric's, and as he walked past the door of Eric's office, Robert Murphy walked past him. Shay glanced at the nameplate on the door, and wondered with dissatisfaction if Eric had left the company early this time.

Walking down the long corridor to the elevator, approaching the corner where the elevator was located, Robert . Shay subconsciously stopped, as he heard Eric's voice.

It started out as some casual chit-chat, Robert . Shay quickly lost interest. I was about to walk over, but I raised my feet, Robert. Shay pricked up his ears and listened to Eric's words, "...... This time there must be no accidents like "The Ghost Is Not Over", you are personally responsible for this matter, find an agency to contact Bruce. Evans, you have to take that script down smoothly. ”

"Don't worry, Eric, I know what to do, this time it's absolutely foolproof." This is Eric's assistant Alan. Viessman's voice.

Eric said again: "Be careful, and don't get too high." If it is high, it will arouse the vigilance of the other party. ”

The two men talked a few more words, and Robert . Shay heard a soft ding, and after the slight footsteps, the elevator was silent. After a while, Robert. Shay walked over and watched an elevator slowly descend on the left, a thoughtful expression on his face. Also keep a firm note on Bruce. Evans' name, Robert. Shay immediately decided to find someone to inquire about the screenwriter.

After the elevator began to go down, Eric and Alan looked at each other and smiled, and the wall at the corner of the elevator could see the figure. As soon as Shay walked out of the office, Eric and Alan had already spotted him. Moreover, only one Bruce was revealed. Evans' name is enough, Bruce. Evans is not a nobody, and the screenwriter has already had several films produced. Of course, the play has to be done in its entirety, and then someone has to be sent to contact Bruce. Evans made a gesture to win the script for "Cut Throat Island".

"Letting him leave with a little thought would save the company a lot of trouble," Eric said suddenly as the elevator was about to slide down to the top floor.

"Eric, why do I think this script is pretty good?"

"A good script does not necessarily make a good movie, and even if a good movie is made, it may not necessarily be recognized by the audience."

Alan nodded thoughtfully, and the two of them went to the parking lot together, Eric had just opened the car door when the mobile phone rang.

"Then I'll go back first," Alan said in greeting.

Eric nodded, answered the phone, and a female voice came out: "Eric, my reputation is completely ruined now." ”

"Don't worry, I'm definitely not responsible," Eric laughed a few times, and continued: "Fawkes's little princess, I think this title is still very high-grade, you are really beautiful these days." ”

I have to say that Elizabeth really got into the play during this time, and played a brutal daughter who is desperate for the Oscar to the fullest. At the cocktail party hosted by Scorsese for "Goodfellas", he personally 'PR' Martin. Scorsese doesn't want to apply for Best Picture for "Goodfellas", just one Best Director. Scorsese agreed to this condition that she could contact Fox's resources for Martin. Scorsese does awards PR. Elizabeth values the award for Best Picture more than Best Director, and once "The Silence of the Lambs" wins, she will be able to win the Golden Man as a producer.

And almost everyone in Hollywood knows that Martin. Scorsese was very unpopular with the Oscar jury, so his film's chances of winning Best Director were far lower than the chances of winning Best Picture. Scorsese was so angry that he almost broke out, and word spread, and Elizabeth earned the nickname 'Little Princess Fox'.

"Ahh I was busy and left 500,000 pocket money, this is not good, you have to compensate me. ”

"Can I pay for it, I happen to be free tonight?"

"Get out!"

Eric didn't joke anymore and said, "Okay, where are you now, I'll go see the demo, I haven't seen the movie yet." ”

"Of course I'm at my own house," Elizabeth said as soon as she finished speaking, and quickly added, "It's getting late, let's talk about it tomorrow, I'll keep the original copy in Fox's vault, and Century City must be off duty." (To be continued......)
