In another room near the rest room of the two crews, Eric was chatting with the bigwigs from other companies who had already arrived.
Although these executives have their own masters, in fact, many of them are very familiar with each other, and there is no sense of strangeness when chatting, because the senior management of the seven major film companies has a very frequent turnover.
For example, Barry Diller, who was not present, was in charge of Paramount 84 years ago and is now the CEO of Fox, while Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg, who were originally at Paramount, were Barry Diller's deputies at that time, and the two are now the CEO of Disney and the president of Disney. If history doesn't change, Jeffrey Katzenberg will be the CEO of DreamWorks in a few years. Columbia's Amy Pascal was a Fox executive before joining the company. It is precisely by virtue of these intricate interpersonal relationships that several major film companies ensure that they compete with each other and cooperate with each other fully.
"Eric, how much box office are you going to get for the two movies this time, let's talk about it first, so that we can have a reference when we quote?" asked Michael Eisner in front of the others, although he looked casual and casual, but there was some inexplicable anticipation in his eyes.
Eric put down the coffee cup and said with a smile: "Mr. Eisner, seriously, I can only guarantee that the quality of these two movies is excellent, as for how much box office they can get, it depends on the reaction of the audience and the market." ”
"That's not good, you're so young and so sleek, young people have to be a little bit bold and dare to speak. Paramount's president, Nader Tarn, said that the other party was an old man who was almost sixty years old, with white hair and a smile on his face, and a kind and amiable appearance, which also sounded like an elder inspiring a younger generation, which would naturally make people feel close.
Eric smiled and showed an open and teachable look, but in fact, he was slandering in his heart, these old guys are more sleek than the other, if he really listens to their opinions, he will wait to be cheated and pay for the people.
Speaking of which, since Paramount has left Barry Diller and Michael Eisner and others with a large number of executives, its vitality has been greatly damaged, and the current film performance is a mess, and the producer and director of only one film this year are the famous George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, both of whom are very shrewd film businessmen, and Paramount is estimated to be able to earn some hard money from the distribution, and most of the benefits must be shared by George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.
In the previous analysis, Eric felt that Paramount might be the one with the highest price, and this time the test film will take the form of a secret standard, after everyone has seen the film, they each set their own conditions, and Firefly will decide which party to cooperate with according to the sharing conditions offered by several film companies. However, the appearance of Michael Eisner suddenly made the originally predictable results confusing, because Michael Eisner's attention is likely to arouse the desire of several other major film companies to compete, after all, it only took him just five years to make Disney's performance soar, and now his 'status' in Hollywood even faintly surpasses the momentum of his old boss Barry Diller.
Alan Fiessman gently pushed open the door, walked up to Eric lightly, tried not to highlight his sense of existence, and bent down in Eric's ear and said, "Mr. Williams, Fox's people are here." ”
Eric nodded, smiled and said to Michael Eisner and the others, "I'm sorry guys, but I'll pick someone up." ”
Walking out of the room, Eric took Alan and walked towards the elevator, presumably the other party was about to come up now. Alan said again at this time: "Mike, who received downstairs, said that Fox had two people, and in addition to Karta Hunter, there was also a woman. ”
Eric was stunned for a moment before asking, "Do you recognize who the other party is?"
Alan shook his head: "I don't know, Mike said that the girl was only about twenty years old, very young, but Karta Hunter was very respectful to her." ”
Karta Hunter is in charge of Fox's film distribution, and his rank is also at the vice president level, and it is estimated that there are only a few people such as Barry Diller who can maintain his respect, and there will definitely not be a girl around twenty years old among them.
I couldn't figure it out, so Eric didn't think about it anymore, and came to the elevator, and the special elevator just made a soft sound, and a man and a woman walked out.
"Hello Karta," Eric smiled and stepped forward, hugging Karta Hunter gently, while glancing at the blonde woman standing next to Karta, looking at him with interest, the girl looked about twenty years old, one meter seven tall, the short blonde hair just covered her ears, very beautiful, awl face, slender eyebrows, wearing a black and white plaid shirt and pale yellow casual pants, and black flat shoes.
This should be a standard career woman, Eric had a thought in his mind, as she had a very similar temperament to Amy Pascal sitting in the lounge.
I greeted Karta, and the other party was about to help introduce her, but the girl took the initiative to reach out: "Hello, Mr. Williams, my name is Elizabeth Murdoch." ”
Eric raised his eyebrows slightly, the Murdoch family, with Karta Hunter's attitude towards the girl, Eric felt that the other party should be Rupert Murdoch's immediate family.
"Hello, Miss Murdoch, you can call me Eric. ”
The girl let go of Eric's hand and asked solemnly, "Then why don't you call me Elizabeth?"
Aggressive woman, Eric thought to himself, and said unhurriedly, "because we have just met, and it is very inappropriate to call a girl by her name without permission." ”
Elizabeth Murdoch raised her chin slightly and looked at Eric: "Okay, Eric, I'll allow you to call me Elizabeth." ”
"Forehead ......"
Karta Hunter saw Eric's embarrassed look, and hurriedly said, "Eric, Elizabeth is the second daughter of Mr. Rupert Murdoch, and she recently interned at Fox, and she ...... you I'm interested in the movie, so I want to watch it, I hope you don't mind. ”
"Of course not," Eric said with a smile, "let's go to the break room, the test starts at two o'clock, and we'll have to wait a little bit." ”
The group walked together towards the lounge at the end of the hallway, and Elizabeth Murdoch approached Eric, who took a step back and followed the three of them.
