Evenings at Sharp Corner are always a great way to take a break from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood, and whenever he has time, Eric sits by the glass façade of Liberty City at sunset, sometimes with a book or a document in his hand, and then quietly watches the orange sunset over the sea slowly sink into the horizon until the lights come on.

Elizabeth once commented that Eric in this scene is like an evil villain hiding in a corner in a movie.

Chris, who had studied psychology a little, said that Eric was insecure, because instead of sitting on the seaside terrace of the villa with a wider view, he was separated by a thick glass curtain wall, as if he was isolating the whole world from himself, as if he was afraid of being disturbed or hurt.

Elizabeth's statement is of course a joke, but Chris's theory is completely untouchable, because no one but Eric himself can analyze the mental activity of a time-traveler. And only Eric himself knows that it is a habit that is unconsciously formed, just like everyone has some unique personal habits.

Putting down the plan in his hand again, Eric looked up at the sunset, which was mostly submerged by the sea, and once again sorted out tomorrow's events in his heart, confirming that there would be no details missing.

As a Hollywood home base, Ron. Perelman's recent moves have not escaped the vision of the fireflies. Perelman's contacts with studios such as Universal were expected by Firefly.

Marvel is an entertainment company after all, and there will not be too many companies outside Hollywood that are interested in Marvel, and Marvel has now lost the potential for capital operation, with companies such as Firefly already controlling 90% of Marvel's debt. Wall Street will also not rush to provoke this hot potato. Then the only one that could compete with fireflies. There are only a few major Hollywood studios left.

Although from Ron. Perelman's hurried return to New York shows that he has not negotiated with any of the companies Universal, Warner, and Paramount, but Eric still does not intend to let this happen to any surprises. Perelman is forced to be in a hurry, and it is inevitable that he will not accept the harsh conditions that several other companies may offer. Therefore, Eric plans to hang a more tender 'little cabbage' to attract the attention of several major Hollywood studios.

Packing up his papers and placing them on the round table beside him, Eric was about to get up to settle the dinner problem when there was the sound of crackling footsteps behind him.

Subsequently. Wearing a tank top and hot pants and two small white legs, Drew threw himself into Eric's arms from behind.

Eric smiled and pressed the girl rubbing on him, and asked, "Didn't you say that you still have to spend a few days on the set of "Wonderful Night at the Museum", why did you come back early?" ”

Xiao Nizi smiled and pillowed on Eric's lap and said, "I'm afraid that you will leave me and drive No. 10880 to return to Pandora Star early, so I'll come back quickly." ”

Eric reached out and pinched the girl's face, turned his head to greet the twins who were pulling a large suitcase, this action obviously caused the dissatisfaction of the girl in his arms, pulled Eric's shirt and asked coquettishly, "Eric, why are you home alone?" ”

Eric turned his head and grabbed the restless little paw, "I was going to spend the night with a girl named Cyrus tonight, but you messed with it." ”

"Cyrus?" The girl was stunned. But he quickly understood what Eric meant by 'Silence' here, and giggled and put his arms around Eric's neck. Said: "Now that I have little Drew, I don't need Cyrus, and if Drew doesn't have enough, there will be Natasha and ...... Natasha, hehe, by the way, I brought you a gift. ”

Seeing the girl excitedly running to open the suitcase and taking out a sky-blue tentacle that was in the limelight in "Men in Black", Eric shook his head and smiled: "It's so insincere, you won't pass by the Disney store when you come back and buy it temporarily, right?" ”

"Of course not," the girl leaned over and forcibly put the azure tentacles on Eric's head, retorting, "I bought it at the Disney store in New York." ”

Well, at least not at the Disney store in Malibu.

Eric complained a little in his heart, watched the girl take out another pink tentacle and put it on the asset's head, and then leaned over with great interest and asked the twins to take pictures of the two with their cameras.

Patiently letting the girl toss, Eric took off the pair of funny tentacles on his head and threw them aside, and asked, "After staying in New York for so long, did you go to Long Island to see Kevin and Xia Xia?" ”

"Go, I've been reading bedtime stories to Xia Xia for a few days."

Eric laughed and said, "It's definitely a horror novel, right, don't scare her all the time." ”

"No," Drew grinned, instructing the twins to bring their luggage into their bedrooms, his eyes flickering a few times, noticing a few records on the round table, and curiously picking up one and asking, "What is this?" ”

Eric glanced at the record in the girl's hand, pointed to the record player not far away, and said, "The BGM I prepared for the Victoria's Secret show, try it, you must like this song." ”

Drew put the record into the machine, and before he could get to Eric, a high female voice came out after a short intro.

*Oh，youbrokemyheart!

It's just the first sentence that the momentum of the whole song is faintly displayed.

"Wow, I like this song," Xiao Nizi, who ran over and squeezed beside Eric, couldn't help but say, and when the whole song with Zhang Yang's rebellious lyrics was played, the girl laughed again: "Eric, this song can't be written by one of your ex-girlfriends, right?" ”

Eric's 'ex-girlfriend' is of course only Aniston, thinking of the girl he hasn't seen for a long time, Eric can't help but feel a little embarrassed in his heart, unconsciously a few years have passed, the distance between the two is getting farther and farther away, maybe there will never be a way back, Xiao Nizi must also be aware of this situation, so she will mention Aniston in front of him without any scruples.

Knocking on the door of the girl's head, Eric said, "I wrote it myself, can't I?" ”

Xiao Nizi laughed a few times. Very clever not to continue the topic. Asked, "What's the name of this song?" ”

"Guess what?"

Xiao Nizi tilted her head. Remembering the two letters mentioned repeatedly in the lyrics, I tentatively asked, "FU"? ”

Eric nodded: "Clever, it's a pity that there is no reward." ”

Xiao Nizi immediately leaned her face over: "No, I want to be rewarded, I want to be rewarded." ”

Eric kissed the white and tender baby face and said, "Okay, just do it at once, don't be too greedy." ”

"Can you give me this record then?"

Eric shook his head, "This is just a sample film. And I think the explosiveness of this singer is still not enough, and I will give it to you when a better singer is recorded, but this song is still kept secret now, so don't spread it around. ”

"Uh-huh," the girl nodded, looked at the remaining records on the round table, and said, "Are these ones too, I'll listen to them." ”

"I haven't eaten dinner yet, help me get something to eat, and you'll know how to play." Not at home at all. ”

"Hehe......"

……

After The Lion King, there was a long-lasting excitement among all the employees at Disney's animation studio headquarters in Burbank. "The Lion King" director Roger. This is especially true of Ayrus. Although all projects in the animation department were put on hold because of the original reorganization strategy, Roger. Elles, like many others, still came to his office early.

Just finished enjoying a cup of coffee, Roger. Elles was about to ask his assistant to find the materials of several hand-drawn animation projects that the department was originally in the incubation period, and to study which animation to make after reaching an agreement with the headquarters, when he saw that an employee broke in without knocking on the door.

Frowning, Roger. Alleys asked dissatisfiedly, "Jim, what happened to make you so out of shape?" ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Elles, but I think I saw the boss in the parking lot."

"Boss?" Roger. Alters repeated, and stood up sharply, "You mean Eric. Williams? ”

Jim nodded: "yes, it seems that there is Michael. Mr. Lynn. ”

Roger. Alters frowned, quickly thinking that this might be Eric trying to bypass Peter. Schneider and Roy. Disney negotiated directly with them.

However, in the previous secret discussions, the entire Disney animation department has reached an agreement on the offensive and defensive alliance. Eyrers also knew very well that only by hugging everyone together could he get more benefits from the parent company, so he hurriedly asked Jim: "Are Mr. Schneider and Mr. Disney here today?" ”

Jim shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just arrived, and I'll tell you about it as soon as I saw the boss." ”

Roger. Elles nodded, but then said, "Go and see if Peter and Roy have arrived, and if they don't, call them immediately." ”

After explaining this, Roger. Elles hurried out of the office.

By this time, the entire Disney animation department had already learned of Eric's arrival, and many people stood up from the open work cubicles and looked at the entrance. Several middle-level managers in the animation department who heard the news also came out.

Peter. Schneider and Roy. Disney apparently didn't come to work, Eric and Michael. Lynn walked in with a few retinues and saw the crowd push out to greet Roger. Elles, shaking hands with the other party, Eric casually asked, "What about Peter and Roy?" ”

"Mr. Williams, they're on their way, maybe stuck in traffic, they'll be there soon."

Eric didn't poke Roger either. Elles's lie, "Then let's go to the conference room first, call the heads of the other departments, and call them if they are all stuck in traffic." ”

An hour later, fearing that Eric would bypass him and take the opportunity to negotiate directly with the staff, Peter hurried from his home. Schneider and Roy. When Disney appeared in the conference room of the animation department, he was covered in a hot sweat.

Eric, who was sitting leisurely in the main seat, saw that the personnel were basically there, put down the "Los Angeles Times" in his hand, took the materials that had been prepared a long time ago from Kelly's hand, and said to everyone: "Since everyone has arrived, let's start this meeting." ”

Roy. Disney was the first to speak: "Mr. Williams, I don't think this meeting is necessary at all, we have set our own conditions, I think those are what everyone in the animation department deserves, if the parent company can't meet it, the more than 700 employees of the entire animation department will fight to the end." ”

"Your conditions, those promotions and salary raises, or the introduction of creditor directors?" Eric glanced at Roy mockingly. Disney: "If it's the former, of course it's very reasonable, but if it's the latter, you know the Ron. What happened to Perelman's kind when he was introduced to a company's board? ”

Eric's gradually aggravated tone made all the animation department managers in the conference room sink in their hearts, and at the same time produced a bad feeling.

Didn't wait for Roy. Disney replied, and Eric immediately said, "You must know, because the lessons of both Revlon and Marvel are clearly there." Eighties Ron. Perelman's hostile takeover of Revlon immediately dismantled the thriving cosmetics company, and as a result, this company that had the potential to catch up with world-class cosmetics companies like Estee Lauder was what it was ten years ago, what it is still today, and how many people can still think of Revlon now. Look at Marvel again, by Ron. After Perelman became the owner, the comic company, which was once far more powerful than DC, was completely reduced to a capital operation tool. Perelman's misdeeds and collective exodus, and now Marvel is left with a mess with $553 million in debt. However, you want to welcome such a guy who can only eat the flesh and blood of the enterprise like a termite into the Firefly Board, and I can't think of any other purpose for you than to satisfy the selfishness of some people. ”

Eric's tone became more and more angry, and he even unconsciously raised the coffee cup in his hand, almost subconsciously throwing it out, and accidentally caught a glimpse of a female employee sitting at the end of the conference table with a frightened face and closed her eyes to hide or not, and immediately put the cup on the table patiently.

After calming down his emotions, Eric flipped through the information in front of him and said, "Things are in this situation, let's get together and disperse, and now let's discuss the matter of changing a new boss for the animation department." ”

Although Eric's words just now made the directors of the animation department in the conference room feel a little guilty, but when they heard Eric's last sentence, everyone still subconsciously wondered if they had heard it wrong.

Including Peter. Schneider and Roy. More than a dozen animation department executives, including Disney, looked at each other a few times, and realized that they had heard correctly, that Eric had just said something.

However, a thought came to everyone's minds very unanimously again.

How is this possible!
