Sure enough, the anger was taken on him, and Lester Reed sighed in his heart. But in this case, he didn't dare to refute, otherwise he would definitely be swept away.

"Mr. Cohen, we might try...... Try to negotiate with Eric Williams to re-sign the sharing agreement. ”

"That's what you've come up with?" Blunt Cohen scoffed, "If you were Eric Williams, would you agree to re-sign the agreement?"

Lester Reed stiffened his head and said: "Eric Williams should know that according to the current box office trend, it is very unfair to Colombia, which spends far more than him, so ......"

Before Lester Reed could finish speaking, Bronte Cohen slapped the table and shouted, "Enough, fair, when have you ever seen that the world is fair? I want a countermeasure, a countermeasure that can get more benefits for Colombia, not a whimsy." ”

Lester Reed bowed his head in silence and said no more. Bront Cohen looked at the others, and finally landed on Amy Pascal, who was sitting at the end of the conference table. Amy Pascal was the only one in the room who objected to Eric Williams' gambling agreement, which gave him a glimmer of hope.

Blunt Cohen softened his tone a little and said to Amy Pascal, "Amy, do you have any good ideas?"

Although Bront Cohen spoke sharply in the conference room, Amy Pascal was a little absent-minded, she was already disappointed in Bronte Cohen, conservative, lacking courage, suspicious, not calm, without the slightest demeanor of a superior, and did not know how Coca-Cola chose this mediocre president. Amy Pascal even felt that maybe she should change jobs.

However, hearing Bront Cohen ask herself, Amy Pascal still sorted out her thoughts and said, "Mr. Cohen, I don't have the slightest idea about that gambling agreement. Even if we directly force the film to be removed now, it will no longer be possible to obtain the copyright for free, but will face hundreds of millions of dollars in claims from Eric Williams. ”

At this point, Amy Pascal paused for a moment, gave everyone a chance to think, and without waiting for Bronte Cohen to speak again, he continued: "So, what we should do now is to try our best to win over Eric Williams and seriously implement the gambling agreement to show Columbia's sincerity." More than $50 million at the box office is certain, so the overseas and other peripheral rights will go back to Eric Williams. What's more, we will definitely make a sequel, we will maintain a good attitude of cooperation this time, and when we make a sequel, I believe that with Eric Williams's shrewdness, he will definitely continue to work with us, and I think this is the only way to get more benefits for Colombia. ”

After Amy Pascal finished speaking, the other high-level officials in the conference room couldn't help but nodded, although Bront Cohen somewhat agreed with Amy Pascal's opinion, but remembered that Amy Pascal and Jeffrey Hansen and Eric Williams might be friends, and his suspicious personality made him feel that Amy Pascal's advice was a little biased towards Eric.

So Blunt Cohen couldn't help but speak again: "Amy, you are an employee of Columbia, try to think about the company, don't always look at outsiders." If you can find a way to overturn that VAM agreement and get more benefits for us, I'll give you a promotion right away. ”

As if the scene a few weeks ago was reappearing, she worked hard, tried her best to bring high-quality film projects for the company, and tried her best to give advice to the company, but as a result, she was kicked out of the project team first, and she felt that she needed to avoid suspicion, and she had no complaints. Then she was asked to speak because she was the only opponent of the wrong decision, and she once again made what she thought was a reasonable proposal, but was again questioned.

This made Amy Pascal feel a little cold, and the strong grievance went straight to her head, she felt her nose sour slightly, and some kind of liquid gushed out of her eyes irrepressibly, women are made of water, she is just a woman after all.

She stood up suddenly, and the chair behind her was knocked to the ground with a loud bang because of her sudden movement.

"Mr. Cohen, I resign!"

A cold female voice sounded in the conference room, and after saying this, Amy Pascal did not tidy up the text in front of him like last time, but turned around and left the office directly.

"It's too much, it's too real, who does she think she is?" Bront Cohen, who was at a critical point in the matter, didn't reflect on his mistake at all, slapped the table again, and turned to the assistant behind him: "Inform the security guard, let that Bichi get out of me immediately, and don't let me see her in the Columbia headquarters again." ”

"Yes, Mr. Cohen. The assistant pinched his throat and whispered in agreement, and cautiously got up and left the conference room.

After taking a sip of coffee and steady, Blunt Cohen said coldly: "Okay, go on, cheer me up, otherwise I don't mind signing a few more dismissal documents today." ”

Although many of the executives felt that Amy Pascal's proposal just now was the most correct, after all, the people who could sit in this room were quite capable professional managers. However, Bronte Cohen has fallen into a kind of hysteria, and no one will risk being fired to support Amy Pascal's construction.

As a result, the executives had no choice but to bite the bullet, and after hours of deliberation, they finally came up with a solution.

As soon as the meeting ended, Bront Cohen couldn't wait to say to his assistant: "Help me contact Mr. Michael Eisner from Disney, I invited him to dinner in the evening, and said that there is something important to discuss, about." ”

"Yes, Mr. Cohen. The assistant felt that the anger in Bront Cohen had disappeared after the meeting, and he was relieved that he was no longer so trembling.

……

The next morning, the $27.55 million first-week box office was revealed by the newspapers, making Eric, who had already received a lot of attention, the focus of public opinion again.

In this case, Eric, who had only returned to Los Angeles late the night before, woke up and found that there were already a pile of reporters in front of the house where there were no paparazzi to hang around.

Because Colombia deliberately or unintentionally concealed it, Eric did not get the box office information about it in the first place. But the moment he saw these reporters, Eric knew that the box office was a big hit.

Although he was grateful to the reporters for 'informing' him in this way, Eric did not deal with the reporters*, had breakfast, went straight into the garage, and planned to drive out of the circle of reporters to the headquarters in Colombia to find out what was going on.

However, apparently, Eric had never encountered such a 'beautiful' moment in his previous life, so there was a mistake in the way of coping, and as soon as the car left the house, he was directly surrounded by a bunch of reporters, and several reporters even climbed onto the hood of his car, and while asking loudly, he recklessly slapped Eric in the driver's seat. Reporters from other directions also banged frantically on the car door and shouted all sorts of questions.

"Mr. Eric, what do you think of the $27.55 million box office in the first week?"

"Mr. Williams, what do you think?"

"Eric, according to the gambling agreement, you are about to become the youngest billionaire in Hollywood, what are you going to do when you have this money?"

"Mr. Eric, I'm a journalist, can I give you an interview?"

"Eric ......"

“……”

As if the 10,000-word duck kept shouting in his ear, although Eric was a little excited to hear the first-week box office of $27.55 million, but more nervous and uneasy, there were too many reporters around the car, and he didn't dare to step on the accelerator hard, and the fat white reporter in front of the car was obviously eager to try, looking like a 'collision and relationship'.
