Amy Pascal also knew a lot of inside the negotiation stalemate, but did not insist, and since the purpose of this visit had been achieved, he got up and said, "In that case, then I will take my leave." ”

"I'll send you," Eric said, "Amy, you don't seem to be driving?" ”

"My car happened to be sent for maintenance today, and I took a taxi when I came."

Eric said enthusiastically: "Then I'll take you back, it's not easy to get a taxi here." ”

Amy Pascal knew that Eric was telling the truth, and that the place she was going wasn't too far away, so she agreed.

The two walked out of the villa, and Eric opened the garage door and walked in, driving out the Ford sedan that was still there.

Standing at the door of the garage, Amy Pascal listened to the muffled sound of the old Ford engine, and glanced curiously at the garage, and found that the garage that was large enough to park 10 cars was empty, except for the Ford sedan, and only another purple sports car with a sleek shape was parked in the corner.

"Eric, with your current net worth, you can change to a better car." Amy smiled and pointed to the Ford, then at the purple sports car with curiosity in her eyes.

"You mean that Lamborghini?" Eric asked as he carefully opened the car door for Amy.

Amy nodded, got into the passenger seat, fastened her seat belt and said, "yes, that car is pretty beautiful, why don't you drive it." I remember this is the car that Rial drives, but that one is silver. ”

Eric said: "It was given to me by Lamborghini a few days ago, but I don't know how to drive, I can go to the highway for a while when I have time, and forget it in the Los Angeles neighborhood." ”

"Lamborghini is so generous, this car is estimated to cost more than 200,000 dollars."

Eric smiled and did not answer, this car is not an ordinary ghost sports car that Lamborghini is about to put on the market, but a four-wheel drive concept car specially customized by the other party, although it is not priced, it is worth no less than 300,000 US dollars. The price of a regular Goblin sports car is only $240,000, and the first Goblin sports car is a two-wheel drive.

The reason why Lamborghini is so generous is to continue to cooperate with him.

Although more than 300,000 US dollars worth of luxury sports cars were sent, the other party did not suffer a loss, and this year's sales were at least three times that of previous years, compared to the profits obtained, a concept car of more than 300,000 yuan is nothing.

A few days after the news that his new film will be a collaboration between Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks, Lamborghini took the initiative to come to the door and wanted to sign a long-term cooperation agreement with Eric in addition to giving away a concept car.

The car was decisively accepted, and the long-term contract was not negotiable. The case of Lamborghini advertising placement in China has now spread in the circle, and the advertising model in the film will definitely enter the era of rapid development many years in advance, and the profits will be higher and higher, in this case, signing a long-term contract is certainly not a wise choice.

As soon as he drove out of the mansion, Eric was about to get out of the car and close the door when he saw a middle-aged man in his forties pounce on him and gently tap on the window of his Ford sedan.

"Mr. Williams, Mr. Williams?"

It happened very suddenly, and without being able to figure out the other party's intentions, Eric stopped the action of opening the door and looked out, the man looked like he was in his forties, with a short beard on his square face, and his eyes were flattering and eager.

Cautiously rolling down the window through a gap, Eric asked, "...... you?"

The middle-aged man noticed Eric's vigilance, and hurriedly took out his business card and stuffed it through the crack: "Mr. Williams, please don't get me wrong, I have no ill intentions. I'm Jonathan Demmy, and you know me. ”

Eric took the business card and glanced at it, and then carefully looked at the middle-aged man outside the window of the car, and confirmed that it was basically consistent with the image in his memory in his previous life, and then removed his vigilance.

The other party was one of the three alternative directors he had invited him to, but after handing over the matter to Jeffrey, Eric didn't ask about it again, and he was mainly busy with a few other things.

First of all, Kapoor originally insisted that Julia's salary was $500, and Eric communicated with Capper personally before convincing the other party to accept the $3 million price.

The process was not pleasant, and Kapoor complained about it for a long time, thinking that this salary would damage Julia's worth, and it would be a box office hit in the future, and Juilliard's self-depreciation of the salary would become a beautiful talk for discernment. But if the box office is not satisfactory, it will be difficult for Julia to receive a higher salary offer for a long time.

Julia, however, accepted Eric's arrangement without objection, and Eric certainly saw the girl's careful thoughts. She was not very willing to accept Eric's salary offer, but she accepted it silently, and in several eye contacts, Eric read the girl's intentions more than once, and she felt that this was returning his favor to him.

After all, although Julia cried out after being reprimanded at Eric's house some time ago, deep down she still longed to get rid of Eric's shackles and influences. The girl not only thinks so, but also does it, perhaps she feels that this time she has returned Eric's favor in the form of a reduced salary. Maybe in the next movie, she can justifiably stop obeying his arrangement.

Eric wasn't too upset about this, and with his intimate knowledge of Julia's career trajectory in his previous life, it was easy to get the girl on the right path. And if you want to teach this disobedient little girl a lesson, it's even simpler, a street movie is enough. Eric even had a playful mindset to see how the girl wanted to flutter.

Got the preparations.

For the director candidate, Al Pacino personally recommended one, and coincidentally, the person recommended by Al was the original director Martin Brest.

It is said that Al was chatting with the other party on a pie duì, and the topic somehow brought up a lot of ideas that coincided with Al's thoughts, so he was recommended by Al to Eric.

Since he is the director of the original version, Eric doesn't have too many worries, and after talking freely with the other party, he is relieved to hand over the guide tube to Martin, and is currently in intense preparation, and Eric will also help with some work from time to time.

Under the delay of these things, Eric didn't have time to ask the director, of course, there was also the reason why Eric was not in a hurry. Because whether it is or Herbert Ross's part, Eric plans to arrange it to be released at the end of the year, and there is plenty of time.

To Eric's surprise, Jonathan Demmy, one of the three alternate directors, will suddenly come to the door today.

Eric couldn't stay in the car any longer, pushed the car door and got out of the car, and said to the middle-aged man in front of him: "Mr. Demy, is there anything wrong with you?" ”

"That's right," said Jonathan Demmy, "I received an invitation to direct this script some time ago, and I didn't expect that this script would be written by you, Mr. Williams, it is simply wonderful." As soon as I saw it, I replied to Mr. Jeffrey and offered to direct the film. But Mr. Jeffrey informed me that there are three directors to choose from, and you need to make a decision yourself. I know I'm a little less senior than the other two masters, but I don't want to lose this opportunity, Mr. Williams, can you give me some time? Let me explain my idea of shooting, it only takes half an hour. ”

Eric glanced back at Amy Pascal in the car and said regretfully, "I'm sorry, Mr. Demy, but unfortunately I have to send a lady home now, so ......"

"I can wait, Mr. Williams, it's okay, I can wait here for you to come back."

The other party's persistence made Eric a little moved, hesitated and said: "Otherwise, Mr. Demi, you can get in the car first, and after sending this lady back in the car, we can find a place to talk." ”

"Is that appropriate?" Jonathan Demmy hesitantly glanced at Amy Pascal in the car, he didn't know what the relationship between the other party and Eric was, and he was worried that he would look abrupt and make a bad impression on Eric.

Amy Pascal, who was in the car, listened to all the conversation between the two, and said without thinking: "Mr. Demy, get in the car, I'm not far from here, it's only more than ten minutes away." ”

Eric echoed and persuaded a few words.

"That'...... Just bother. Jonathan Demi checked with Eric again before carefully opening the rear door of the Ford and sitting in with his satchel.

Eric turned around and locked the door before returning to the car and starting the car to leave. Because of the sudden addition of Jonathan Demmy in the car, the three of them did not talk too much along the way, but fortunately Amy Pascal's destination was not too far away, so the atmosphere was not dragged to an embarrassing point.
