Several people around laughed, and a fat man who seemed to be a maker of Fox in the introduction just now said: "Eric, I also have a few scripts there, or I will send them to Sharp Corner Manor tomorrow, you can help take a look, these projects are still under consideration, if you can pick one, the heroine will be this Miss Connelly."

As soon as the fat man's words were finished, everyone else who had been watching the excitement was keenly aware that this was a very good opportunity, although it was not easy to let Eric write the script himself, but it was a very profitable thing to ask Eric to help choose the script, and only need to pay a heroine.

"Eric, I'm ...... here"

"Eric, I'll make people ...... tomorrow too"

Realizing this, several high-control people around immediately put down their reserve and took the initiative to recommend it.

"How can you do this," Amy Pascal, who had been pushed aside, complained helplessly.

Noticing that many people on the pie were looking at him curiously, Eric gestured around and made a silent motion, and the few people in front of him were all smart people, knowing that when the news spread, they didn't have much chance, so they all closed their mouths in amusement.

"In this case, you can send me the script to read, but if I am asked to help me choose, I need to account for 3o investment, of course, I only invest, and I don't interfere in other things."

Several people glanced at each other, and nodded at the same time, Eric participated in the investment, and this gimmick can be used to promote it in the future, as an investor, you must not say anything about hanging an executive producer.

Eric quickly saw through the minds of several people, and immediately said: "I will invest in the name of Jane, first say okay, the film production has nothing to do with me, you can't use my name to do publicity."

After a short hesitation, everyone quickly agreed, Eric was personally responsible for selecting the script, and participated in the investment of the film, and let his woman sit as the heroine, which fully shows his affirmation of the movie.

After discussing this matter, Eric quickly asked tentatively, "By the way, what was the reason for which scripts were cut last time, and I don't believe it was because I said a few more words?"

Everyone looked at Jennifer Connelly, and the girl innocently shrunk her neck, not understanding what had happened.

Amy Pascal smiled and said, "Eric, you don't have to think about quibbling, although there are some other factors, but those projects were cut because of you."

Eric spread his hands: "Okay, so what are the other factors you said?"

Amy Pascal said: "I don't know what the plans of other studios are, but Colombia has decided to cut production, Pat, what about you?"

"We are too, but we haven't decided yet. Mr. Ross doesn't think it's likely to be a fight."

"I think there's a good chance of a fight."

Eric interrupted, "Excuse me, guys, can you explain?"

Amy saw Eric's expression and said, "Eric, if you pay attention to the recent international news, the situation in the Middle East is very tense, and the federal government may use force against Iraq, and the time should be in the next year, if that, the public's attention will definitely be focused on the war, and it is imperative for the film company to cut production."

Eric was taken aback.

Gulf War!

I almost forgot about such an important time.

Seeing Eric's sudden froze, Amy asked with concern: "Eric, are you okay? Actually, wars may not necessarily be fought, and after so many wars, the people's anti-war sentiment is still very high, and it is impossible for the Bush administration to completely ignore the will of the people and force the war."

"I'm fine, sorry, I'm out of company," Eric forced a smile and pulled Jennifer Connelly beside him, and the two walked out of the crowd.

"Eric, what's wrong?"

Eric continued to walk out with the girl, and said, "Jenny, we have to go back, and I suddenly remembered something very important."

Jennifer Connelly nodded obediently, followed Eric to say goodbye to some of the people, and the two quickly left the Hilton Hotel.

Back at Sharp Corner Manor, Eric told the girl to go to bed by herself, then found the newspapers of the last few days and went straight into the study.

It took an hour or two to read the international news in detail several times, and sure enough, during this time, there were a lot of Middle East news in newspapers such as The New York Times and The Washington Post, and Eric was able to sort out a general context.

The thing is very simple, Iraq and Iran fought an eight-year Iran-Iraq war, which did not stop until the second half of 1988, and the result of this war was a defeat for both sides, and at the same time Iraq was heavily indebted, owing tens of billions of dollars in loans to countries in the Middle East, including Kuwait alone, Iraq owed $1.4 billion.

Iraq certainly couldn't pay back the money, and in the end Iraq demanded that Kuwait be forgiven the arrears on the grounds that their war with Iran was a contribution to the entire Arab country.

Kuwait certainly could not agree, and eventually the two sides began negotiations, which are now in their final stages.

Of course, that's just what is known now.

According to the memories brought by the previous life, the negotiations finally broke down, followed by Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, Saddam Hussein occupied the entire territory of Kuwait in only eight hours, and declared Kuwait as the nineteenth province of Iraq, when it should have been August 2, 199o, only a little more than a month away, and half a year after Kuwait was occupied, on January 17, 1991, the Gulf War broke out, and it took only 42 days for the US military to annex the entire territory of Kuwait.

During the Gulf War in his previous life, Eric had gone to junior high school, although he was no longer as ignorant as a child, but he was not as concerned about current affairs as he was when he was in college, and most of the information about this war was only after school, occasionally watching a few pieces of news with adults, or from other people's conversations, so this part of the memory seems very fragmentary.

However, as long as he remembers a few of the main dates, it is enough, although this space has more butterflies, but he believes that with his current strength, he will definitely not be able to affect the course of this war, then, he can get the maximum benefit from this war as much as possible according to his memory.
