"Sid Sheinberg has been kicked out of the world by Panasonic, and if we don't do something about it, maybe it's our turn next," Strong. Peters' tone was apprehensive and reluctant, for him and Peter Cooper, who were originally Hollywood's second- and third-rate producers, the huge Columbia Pictures was like a fat barbecue, and the two of them hadn't had enough of this delicacy, and of course they were not willing to be kicked out so quickly.

Peter Cooper thought for a moment, then smiled suddenly: "Actually, we don't have to compete with fireflies at all, how good is it to work together?"

"Any studio in Hollywood is looking forward to working with Firefly, do you think it will be our turn?"

Peter Cooper shook his head and said, "No, it's different, we can afford to pay a price that other studios can't afford." ”

Peters immediately understood what Peter Cooper meant, anyway, Colombia is now Japanese, and whatever the price is paid, it is the Japanese who will lose, and the cooperation with Fireflies, which is in the limelight in Hollywood, will undoubtedly increase the confidence of the Japanese in the two of them to take charge of Colombia, and the two of them will have enough time to continue to grab private interests from Colombia.

"Peter, do you have a personal contact for Eric Williams, maybe we should make an appointment with him now. ”

Peter Cooper nodded, "Of course." ”

……

“…… Of course no problem, Frank...... Haha, the digital realm has never said that it doesn't accept external film projects, but I don't know the subject matter of your film yet?...... Vampire genre, "400 Years of Horror". Wow. It's a good subject. I'm sure you'll make a great shot...... No problem, I'll give Stan a call himself...... That's it, say hello to Sophia and them on my behalf, goodbye. ”

Eric hung up the phone, leaned back in his leather chair, and exhaled a little tiredly, as the trailer for "Tornado" aired, and calls kept coming in. Some people congratulated, some wanted to cooperate, and many more called to test it, many of them even only had one or two face-to-face calls, but there was a very familiar tone on the phone, like an old friend who had not seen him for a long time, which made Eric can't help but think of a certain saying in his memory.

With a chuckle from behind, Eric tapped his toes on the floor and turned the leather chair in a half-circle, right in front of the large bed in the bedroom. Virginia and Joanna had changed into their light pajamas and leaned together at the head of the bed to flip through a magazine.

"Done?" saw Eric turn around. Virginia looked up at him coquettishly and asked provocatively.

Eric hummed, looked at the pink red lips of the girl as she spoke, and was about to get up with some emotion, when the cordless phone in his hand rang again.

Despite some impatience, Eric quickly got on the phone: "I'm Eric Williams. ”

Virginia looked at Eric's depressed appearance and leaned into Joanna's ear to say something, and the two women laughed together, Virginia looked at Eric with a smile and teasingly pulled down the pajama straps, revealing round fragrant shoulders and a large white greasy chest on her chest.

“…… Oh, Mr. Cooper, good evening," Eric was a little surprised when he heard the other party's name, and was just about to quietly test a few words, when he saw the series of provocations of the little woman on the big bed, faintly hot from the abdomen, Eric quickly glared at Virginia, pointed to the microphone in his hand, and signaled the woman to be honest.

Virginia immediately showed an aggrieved look, her big eyes turned slyly, she turned her head and hugged Joanna, and before the other party could react, she quickly stepped up, imprinted a deep bite on Joanna's red lips, and then stretched out her ruddy little tongue with a little provocation and licked her lips.

“…… I'm sorry, Mr. Cooper, can I wait a few seconds......" Eric said into the microphone, standing up and walking towards the bed.

"Ah, Joan, help," Virginia leaned over Joanna with a look of 'horror'.

Joanna had just recovered from the surprise of being kissed, gave her a blank look, deliberately dodged to the other side, and said, "I don't care about you." ”

Eric came to the end of the bed, reached into the quilt, accurately touched a round calf, and with a slight force, pulled the little woman in exclamation, grabbed her waist and carried it to the side of the leather chair in the aisle, and gently threw the woman on the slightly cool floor.

"Damn," said Virginia, who was tossed with her sideburns and flushed, and was about to get up, but Eric was pressed down on the shoulder when he sat in the leather chair again.

Virginia looked up, and Eric withdrew his hand, patted his thigh, and ordered in a low voice without question, "Come here!"

Virginia's gentle magnetic voice made Virginia not resist at all, she turned her head to glance at Joanna on the bed, but heard Eric's soft grunt in dissatisfaction, and quickly meekly knelt at Eric's feet.

Eric looked satisfied before picking up Peter Cooper's phone again. Feeling a warm little hand creeping up his thigh, and just as he was about to reach the chain of his trousers, Eric reached out to block it, and if the goblin messed around, he would probably make a fool of himself in front of Peter Cooper.

Virginia looked up suspiciously when she saw Eric blocking her movements, her moist eyes glowing with emotion. Eric's free left hand touched the girl's delicate face lying on his lap, and then his index finger stretched out and gently tapped the girl's lips and teeth, and a warm little tongue resisted twice and sucked obediently.

……

The next day, the news of the Washington Redskins winning the Super Bowl again appeared in countless mainstream media in North America, of course, the news of the two trailers of the two heavyweight villains of "Batman" is also the subject of hype in the newspaper media, and Tom Cruise's desperate stunts "Dark War Prequel" also occupied a lot of eyeballs, but there is no doubt that these news are all squeezed into the secondary page by a 'shocking' screen crack.

The stunning blow of the trailer of "Tornado" at the end of the TV screen left a deep impact on the hearts of countless people, and the media also responded to the curiosity of the public. A detailed analysis of the trailer of "Tornado" was made in the length of the article.

This version of the stunning trailer airs after it airs. In a random sample survey of several blockbusters in the summer file by the Hollywood Info. The expectations of "Tornado" are much higher than the second-place "Batman", and "Dark War Prequel", although Tom Cruise's popularity is the foundation, but because of the absence of Eric and Tom Hanks, the expectations of core die-hard fans for this movie are generally not too high.

After a good night's sleep, Eric sat down in the conference room early the next morning, still in good spirits, and began the firefly's weekly high-level meeting.

After a simple summary of work. In the conference room, a group of firefly executives began to talk about relatively scattered topics.

"The president of Fox TV just called, hoping to get the exclusive rights to broadcast the trailer of 'Tornado,' and they are willing to broadcast it for free, without any advertising fees, which is very favorable, Eric, what do you think?" Jeffrey said, looking at the memo in front of him.

Eric shook his head: "The principle of this trailer is very simple, the most important thing is to give the audience a surprise, and it has achieved its desired effect in the Super Bowl live broadcast last night." Therefore, it will not be played again, and the normal version of the trailer will be released instead. Michael, how is the European release of Tornado?"

Michael Lynn looked down at the information at hand and said: "The five main box office countries in Europe, Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Spain have basically been negotiated, but the release time is also at the end of July at the earliest, in addition to local protection reasons, the most important thing is that we do not have strong channels and connections, Warner's "Batman" has been released simultaneously in the United Kingdom, Germany and Spain, and other European box office countries are also released earlier than us." ”

Eric was a little disappointed in his heart, but he also knew that this kind of thing could not be rushed, and the distribution channels of any film company were expanding little by little, but he still couldn't help but look at Katzenberg who was sitting on the other side.

Of course, Katzenberg knew what Eric meant, thought about it, and said: "Bowei International was completely separated from Warner's distribution network two years ago, and Disney's main attack in the past two years is also the distribution network of the five European box office countries of Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain, after all, the box office share of these five countries accounts for more than seventy percent of the total box office in Europe, and most of Disney is only sold out in the Netherlands and Belgium. ”

Eric put the pen on the tip of his finger and tapped the text in front of him, thinking quickly, it seemed that it was still a matter of time for now.

Although the best option is to integrate Disney's overseas distribution with Firefly's existing channels, Disney and Firefly are still in the business docking period, and it will take at least a year or two to carry out similar integration.

Moreover, from the bottom of his heart, Eric doesn't want Fireflies to completely 'digest' Disney, and Disney can only create more benefits by maintaining its own brand.

"Let's do this for now," Eric remembered what happened last night: "By the way, after the trailer of "Tornado" was played last night, Peter Cooper from Columbia personally called and said that he wanted to cooperate with Firefly in the film, I haven't made up my mind yet, can you tell me what you think?"

There was a low discussion in the room.

After a while, Michael Lynn was the first to speak: "Obviously, after Michael Eisner took the helm of Universal, Peter Cooper and Jan Peters felt the crisis, Colombia has been in a bad situation for the past two years, and they are worried that they will end up in the same situation as Sid Schinberg, but I don't think there is any need for cooperation, the most important thing at the moment is to develop our own strength." ”

"I agree with Mike," Jeffrey followed.

Other executives in the room echoed the words, saying that working with Colombia was a waste of time.

After a moment of silence in the conference room, Jeffrey Katzenberg, who had not spoken, said: "Eric, I think this is an opportunity, let's ......" Speaking of this, Katzenberg suddenly felt that his thoughts were not suitable to be said directly in front of so many people, and Katzenberg didn't care about everyone's eyes, and directly changed his tone: "Eric, out of the need for confidentiality, I think we should talk privately." ”

In the entire conference room, Katzenberg's status was almost second only to Eric, and when he said such a thing, although the others were unhappy, they did not dare to express it.

"No problem, let's talk about it in my office, then, who still has a problem?" Eric looked around and saw that no one said anything more, and then called the meeting to a dismiss.

Seeing that everyone got up, Eric beckoned to stop the few people who were about to leave, and said, "Jeffrey, Michael, and Frank, come together." ”

The secretary served coffee to the five of them, closed the office door and left, before Eric said, "Jeffrey, now you can talk." ”

Katzenberg said: "You see, Peter Cooper must have been prepared to sacrifice the interests of the Japanese when he came to cooperate with us, and we all know that these two people just want to use Guò Colombia for their own benefit, and they have no intention of running Colombia properly." Now, because Panasonic of Japan has replaced the global management with Michael Eisner, they are worried that Sony will follow suit, so they have come to us for cooperation, so we can use this opportunity to dig a big piece of fat out of Columbia. ”

When Katzenberg said this, his eyes revealed a fanatical aggressiveness, which made the more conservative Jeffrey and Frank Wells frown slightly, but Michael Lynn had a relaxed face, he had seen this momentum in Robert Shay, but Katzenberg's aggression was obviously stronger.

Although I didn't like the breath of Katzenberg at this time, the other four people present knew that what Katzenberg said was the truth, Hollywood competition has never been warm, and since others have sent you to your mouth for you to take a bite, if you humbly don't open your mouth, it will be no different from a fool.

Katzenberg saw that everyone else had a look of approval on their faces, and then said: "Just now we also talked about overseas distribution, everyone should know that in Hollywood, Colombia's distribution channel network is second only to Warner, although it has shrunk a little in the past two years, but its heritage is definitely not comparable to Firefly and Disney, Colombia not only has perfect film distribution companies in major European box office countries, and even has branches in Brazil, Colombia, and Argentina in South America." If you can grab it......"

Katzenberg waved his hand and grabbed it, then looked at the crowd, and Ari, Jeffrey, Michael, and Frank all looked excited.

"Jeffrey, I agreed to Peter Cooper's dinner invitation last night, so how about you come with me in the evening?"

"Absolutely. (To be continued......)
