After a while, Harvey left alone, and Elizabeth moved to Eric's side and whispered, "Eric, how about I buy Miramax?"

Eric motioned for a waiter to take away his plate and ask for a glass of champagne before asking, "Why did you suddenly have such an idea?"

Elizabeth said: "I heard that Miramax lost a lot of money this year, and after the success of "Sex, Lies, and Videotape" and "My Left Foot" last year, the Weinstein brothers bought more than a dozen movies in one go, and not only did most of them fail at the box office, but they didn't win much at the Oscars, so I think this is a good opportunity." ”

"What is a good opportunity, what is a good opportunity? What is the purpose of your purchase of Miramax, even if you buy it, do you have any specific plans for Miramax, and what is the development idea of TG, have you considered these?"

Eric's series of questions directly asked Elizabeth, after the success of "The Silence of the Lambs", Elizabeth only thought about striking while the iron was hot, continuing to make the film, and developing TG, but the specific plan was ...... Does a production company like theirs need any planning? Isn't it still making movies besides making movies?

"Alright, let's do it one by one," Eric looked at Elizabeth at a loss, "why did you buy Miramax?"

"For the sake of ...... Oscar, the two brothers are very good at public relations Oscar, in addition to helping "The Silence of the Lambs" ≈ public relations, they also won five nominations for Best Foreign Language Film. ”

"While there are blockbuster movies that hit the Oscars every year, most of the Oscar-nominated films are still works of art, since you want to buy Miramax. That is to say. Have you decided to concentrate on making award-winning art films in the future?"

Elizabeth shook her head: "Of course not. Just ......"

"It's just that when needed, let them have public relations, right, for the sake of the Oscars, to buy a company specifically for the production and distribution of literary films, do you think TG has the strength now?"

Elizabeth moved her waist unwillingly, and the silver knife in her hand scratched a prawn on the plate in front of her, and muttered, "Okay, just don't buy it." ”

Eric added: "Actually, most of the time the Oscars are just the icing on the cake, and we can't deny that they play a very important role in the sales of videotapes. Oscar-winning stars will also be worth twice as much. But Hollywood produces hundreds of movies every year, but there are only a few dozen films that can compete for the Oscars. Orion Pictures, which has just recently announced the discontinuation of production, is actually an example, I remember that a few years ago, Orion received 18 nominations in one Oscar, but now it is still on the road to bankruptcy. ”

Elizabeth waved her little hand to stop her, "Well, I'm just a temporary idea, you don't have to babble like an old man." My dad doesn't have as much to say as much as you. ”

Eric looked at Elizabeth with a 'hurt' look: "If it were an irrelevant person, do you think I would babble?"

Elizabeth's face was slightly ruddy: "Even if it ...... Even if I'm wrong. Okay. ”

"'The Silence of the Lambs' is kind of a TG work that made a name for itself, and this one is an exception, but then you choose another road movie, eh...... I haven't read this script yet, so I won't comment on it for the time being, but have you thought about what the focus of TG's future production of Zuò movies will be?"

Elizabeth showed a thoughtful look: "I really didn't think about this, I just think that as long as I can pick out a good script and make a good movie, well, of course, the plan I set for myself is not to make a movie that costs more than $30 million within five years, so that the risk can be minimized, even if you lose money accidentally, you won't lose too much." ”

"I won't comment on the seven majors, but for Firefly, my plan is for Firefly itself to make a high-budget movie based on special effects, New Line is responsible for horror thrillers, Flower Pictures will focus on action movies in the future, Pixar is responsible for animation, and Black Ant is not accurately positioned for the time being because it was an accident," Eric briefly introduced and looked at Elizabeth: "So, what type of movie do you think TG is suitable for?"

Elizabeth snapped her delicate little fingers and pondered for a moment: "It seems that if you can't specialize in making art films, the relatively large category will be comedy films." ”

Finally dragged this little girl into the pit, Eric said decisively: "That's it, in the future, TG specializes in making Zuò comedies, in fact, it is still very beneficial to focus on a type of movie, just like the Weinstein brothers have figured out a set of rules for special public relations Oscars, if you transform into a Zuò comedy, after a long time, you can also find a suitable path." Moreover, the production cost of comedy films is usually very low, which is very suitable for independent production companies. ”

Elizabeth also seemed to think of something different, looked at Eric and said suspiciously, "How do I feel that you arranged this?"

Eric snapped his fingers and gave a comapproving look, "That's smart, so, you're okay with it, right?"

Elizabeth asked weakly, "What if...... Do you have an opinion?"

Eric looked at Elizabeth with a smile: "Look, you are using a question sentence, indicating that this is just a hypothesis, then you must not object in your heart, since this is the case, then it is so happily decided, let's talk about the specific cooperation plan later, in fact, I have a lot of good ideas in my heart, I have never had the energy to implement them, and I am not very willing to hand them over to outsiders, so I am cheap for you." ”

Elizabeth stared at Eric for a few seconds, pursed the corners of her mouth, silently forked the only shrimp left on the plate in front of her and stuffed it into Eric's champagne glass, which was a dispensable vent, and then lay on the table and said depressedly: "Oh my God, how could I meet a shameless guy like you, I'm going crazy." ”

Eric looked at the glass and saw a layer of oil bloom in the cup, and the old god sighed on the ground, what a waste. Standing up, he regretfully exchanged another glass to the waiter, and by the way, he also thoughtfully brought a glass of wine to the girl next to him: "Come, have a glass of champagne, you should thank me, but I handed over a very big 'gold mine' to you to take care of." ”

"I'll unload ~ unload ~ you," Elizabeth glared at Eric through gritted teeth, took the glass of champagne and drank it down. (To be continued......)
