Chapter 442: Wait and see

Tina Fey had a simple breakfast, then got up to say goodbye to Drew and Claudia, although she was very impressed by Drew's invitation, but she did not forget her own job, she was supposed to send the news of yesterday's acquisition back to Philadelphia last night, but she still did not get the information, she could think of the editor-in-chief going crazy.

Drew sent a car to take her back to her hotel in Burbank, and the car drove smoothly through downtown Malibu on the Pacific Rim, looking out the window at the turquoise sea level, and Tina Fay seemed to wake up. I opened my satchel and took out a camera from it and fiddled with it thoughtfully.

It wasn't a new camera, but it was definitely not the one she had brought with her from the newspaper, and she remembered very well that there was a slight scratch on the original camera, but there was no one on it. But if you are not too careful, you will definitely not be able to tell the difference between the two.

She could imagine that the camera had broken when she fell yesterday, and Eric had prepared another one for her, but in order to take care of her self-esteem, she didn't just ask someone to buy a new one.

The corners of Tina Fei's mouth couldn't help but overflow with a faint smile, no wonder this man could provoke so many women, except for a little violence on the bed, the rest of the place was simply invulnerable. She twisted her waist slightly, felt a slight tingling pain from her buttocks, but she didn't hate it at all, but involuntarily excused him, saying that he was so perfect, no more quirks, and how could he let others live.

Politely saying goodbye to the driver of the Sharp Corner Manor, Tina Fey made her way to the hotel where she was staying. As soon as I stepped into the lobby, I was stopped by the waiter at the front desk of the hotel: "Are you Miss Tina Fey?"

"Yes," Tina Fey nodded.

"Great. You're finally back, and we've had 11 calls since yesterday afternoon, all from a gentleman named Simon Patrick, who asked you to call him back as much as you can. ”

"I see," Tina Fey said as she took the note from the front desk and hurried to her room.

Simon Patrick is the editor-in-chief of the Philadelphia Evening News. An old man in his fifties.

Back in the room, Tina Fey immediately dialed the newspaper's editor-in-chief's office and heard her voice. Tina Fei frowned in disgust, but had to patiently explain in detail what happened yesterday.

Hearing that she got an interview with Eric, Simon's attitude on the other end of the phone suddenly took a 180-degree turn. Gently complimented her. and instructed her to write out the interview manuscript and fax it back.

Tina Fay hung up the phone and sighed softly, there was a live TV station footage at the scene where she was knocked to the ground last night, even if Simon Patrick didn't see it, there were so many staff in the newspaper office, someone must have found out, but none of them told Simon about it, obviously. Quite a few people want her to mess up this mission.

The Philadelphia Evening News isn't big, and there aren't many opportunities to travel. Many people are looking forward to the opportunity to come to Los Angeles to cover the acquisition, which is basically the equivalent of a publicly-funded tour, and the Hollywood home base is still very attractive to Americans. Compared with many people, her qualifications in the newspaper are very shallow, and she was able to get this opportunity, on the one hand, because her work performance in the past two years is quite good, and on the other hand, because she is beautiful enough, Simon Patrick, who covets her, gave her this opportunity.

She also knew that Simon Patrick was just an old pervert with a thief's heart and no guts, so she didn't have any scruples about the other party's 'overtures' and took the errand.

She originally thought that as long as she could complete the interview task well, no one would make irresponsible comments. Now that she thinks she was too naΓ―ve, if she had only been invited by Eric to attend the celebration last night, and didn't take the opportunity to get an interview with Eric, she would have messed up the errand, and unless she was willing to take advantage of the old guy, she would have to get out of the newspaper office.

Tina Faye couldn't help but think of Drew's invitation again, perhaps, coming to Hollywood is also a good opportunity, staying in the newspaper, she can imagine her future, intrigue with her colleagues, play some tricks, step by step, if lucky, at the age of Simon Patrick, maybe be able to achieve the position of editor-in-chief of a newspaper. Or in a few years, after getting married, quit your job and be a housewife for the rest of your life.

None of this seemed to be what she wanted, and she wished she could have a more colorful life.

After looking at the phone in front of her and hesitating for a few seconds, Tina Fey took out the contact information that Drew had left her in her bag and dialed the number in the manor.

……

Drew hung up the phone and walked back to the table and sat down.

Claudia leaned forward slightly according to the script of "Strange Heroes in Disguise" in front of her, and asked curiously, "She agreed?"

Drew nodded, reached out and took a sip of a glass of juice on his left hand: "Yes, it's really troublesome, I have to call after I go back and say yes, it's not simple at all." ”

"It's a big deal after all, when I got an offer from a modeling agency, my dad was like a big enemy, and it took me a while for him to relent," Claudia said, her eyes drifting to Drew's left hand holding the glass.

The white little hand wears a rose gold ring on the ring finger at this time. The ring was inlaid with a sparkling peach heart-shaped red diamond, which shimmered in the sunlight outside the glass curtain wall, which made Claudia very excited, she remembered that Drew didn't have this thing in his hand a few days ago, and couldn't help but say, "Hey, Drew, I've always wanted to ask you," Claudia couldn't help but point to the ring: "Where did you buy this?"

Drew put down the juice and shook it in front of Claudia with a little smugness: "Pretty, isn't it?"

"Of course, the pattern on it is also very strange, can I take a look?" Claudia asked with a smile.

Drew carefully removed it. He handed it to Claudia and said with a grin, "This can't be bought, if you try a little hard." Maybe someone will give you one. ”

Claudia raised her beautiful eyebrows, understood something, and asked, "Eric's gift?"

Drew nodded.

Claudia looked at the ring in her hand, a heart-shaped red diamond perfectly set in pale pink rose gold, with beautiful irregular patterns carved on either side, and a small K-shaped letter carved on the other side of the diamond.

"Drew, what does this K mean?"

Drew pouted. Insulting Eric's bad taste, he said, "I can't sue you for this, maybe you'll find out for yourself in the future." ”

Claudia thought it was a little secret between Drew and Eric. He didn't get entangled, and asked again: "What about these patterns, they look weird, but they are very beautiful?"

"This one. "Druck Claudia's bright red lip color. said, "Give me your lipstick, and I'll show you." ”

Strange, Claudia took out a Revlon lipstick from her bag and handed it to Drew along with the ring.

Drew took the object, pulled out another tissue from the carton next to him, folded it carefully, and then applied the lipstick to the outside of the ring, slowly printing it onto the soft tissue. After you are done. Drew shoved the tissue in front of Claudia.

Claudia picked it up and looked at it, first a little puzzled. But soon she noticed that the pattern in front of her seemed to be a string of English letters, and she carefully recognized it before reading it: "Eric-Williams, wow, this is ...... Eric's name. ”

Drew snorted, carefully wiped the ring clean, put it on his left ring finger again, and said with a smile: "So, even if you like it, you can't buy it, and this ring will definitely not appear on the market." ”

Claudia showed a disgusted expression, waved her hand and smiled: "I won't wear that guy's name on my hand, hey, you seem to have worn the wrong finger, is that a ring finger?"

"Of course that's right," Drew said with some regret, "it's just a pity that you can't wear it in public." ”

Claudia sighed, looked down thoughtfully and continued to read the script, remembering the K letter just now, and secretly wondering if there would be ABCD or something like that in addition to K.

Although Drew kept his eyes on the information in front of him, he couldn't help but remember the first time he saw the little thing on his finger. Oh my God, he actually made a whole 54 rings, a complete deck of playing cards, what a ...... It's so hateful, and what's even worse is that Eric hid the big and small kings, only gave her a red heart K, and said that he couldn't think of it one day, so he would take out the pair of big and small kings as wedding rings.

So far, in addition to the K of Hearts, there are several other rings that have also fallen into the hands of several women, Drew only knows that Julia received 4 Hearts, and the other women are not very clear.

……

"When I first met you, I thought you would make a difference in Hollywood, and I always wanted you to come to Disney, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this," said Michael Eisner with a wry smile on his face and his fingers rubbing the $30 million check in front of him in his office at Disney headquarters.

Michael Eisner wanted to make his tone appear more relaxed, but remembering Barry Diller's $129 million salary when he left Fox, compared to what he was going through in front of him, it was impossible to get rid of it.

As Barry Diller's former deputy, he admits that he is indeed inferior to Barry Diller, but Disney's development over the years is no worse than that of Twentieth Century Fox, and the two left almost at the same time, Barry Diller took away 129 million, but he could only get 30 million.

"People always say that Hollywood is a place to make dreams, but they don't understand that this dream factory is actually very cruel, you can achieve many people's dreams, but often you can't achieve your own one," Eric said with some emotion, remembering a report about Barry Diller that he had seen by chance in his previous life.

Although the turmoil two years ago made the relationship between the two irreconcilable, he didn't have too much bad feelings for Michael Eisner, business competition is cruel, and there is nothing wrong with using any means, if you are too warm, the result will only be devoured by people.

Michael Eisner didn't know where Eric's emotion came from, but there was a faint resonance in his heart, and he looked up at Eric sitting opposite and said, "Who are you going to let take my place next, Frank?"

"Frank is too conservative, and I want the new Disney CEO to be a passionate man. ”

Michael Eisner looked at Eric and said, "That's got to be Jeffrey." ”

Eric just smiled, he hadn't interviewed Katzenberg yet, but Barry Diller had personally recommended Katzenberg to him, and Eric had pretty much made up his mind.

Michael Eisner put the check away, opened his mouth to say something, and finally didn't speak, although Katzenberg was brought from Paramount back then and personally promoted to the position of president of Disney Animation Studios, but the bad relationship between the two over the years is well known in Hollywood, so any evaluation he has about Katzenberg, Eric is estimated to think elsewhere.

"In that case, I'll take my leave," Michael Eisner said, standing up and Eric getting up and sending Michael Eisner out of the office.

While waiting for the elevator, Michael Eisner suddenly said to Eric, "By the way, I'd better tell you something." ”

Eric looked curious, and Michael Eisner said, "I've received an invitation from the Panasonic consortium to probably host Universal Pictures. ”

Eric raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but say, "Don't they know about your conflict with Spielberg?"

Spielberg has maintained a good relationship with Universal Pictures since his debut, and it is said that Spielberg still owes Universal's seven-film contract.

And because of the conflict of interest in the cooperation of several films such as "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", the relationship between Michael Eisner and Spielberg was very unhappy, and Spielberg's Abelin Pictures has not had any cooperation with Disney in recent years.

Compared with Michael Eisner, Eric feels that Spielberg is more important to the world, although the recent box office of "Captain Hawke" is not satisfactory, but Spielberg's status in Hollywood is not so easy to shake. Even without Jurassic Park, Eric believes Spielberg would be able to develop other film series.

If the Japanese let Michael Eisner be the CEO of Universal Pictures, it will definitely affect Spielberg's cooperation with Universal.

The elevator came up, and Michael Eisner walked in, and Eric thought about it and followed.

"This failure may not be a bad thing for me," said Michael Eisner, looking at the flashing lights in the elevator, "I did make a lot of bad decisions in the past few years, including the strategy against Spielberg, and when I get to the world, I will personally intervene to ease the relationship with Spielberg, and I will definitely not make these mistakes again." So, Eric, be careful, I won't lose to you again next time. ”

"I'll see," Eric said with a smile. (To be continued......)
