Chapter 703: Big Boss

Seeing Michael Eisner and the three of them coming, the guests around Diane Kruger took the initiative to leave with interest, and the agent who followed Diane Kruger came to her ear and introduced a few words, the girl nodded slightly, and shook hands with Michael Eisner and them generously.

"Mr. Eisner, Mr. Bronfman, thank you Universal for inviting us to this party," the agent said without introducing Alan Hasenfeld, and Diane Kruger greeted Michael Eisner and Edgar Bronfman first.

"Miss Kruger, it's an honor to have you here," Michael Eisner gestured to Alan Hasenfeld and offered to introduce, "This is Mr. Alan Hasenfeld, Chairman and CEO of Hasbro." ”

Diane Kruger's burgundy dress sets off her whole person like a delicate blooming rose, but her delicate face is a little green and childish, this contrast effect makes many mature and stable middle-aged people excited. Alan Hassenfeld's eyes were obviously eager, and he held Diane Kruger's outstretched hand: "Miss Krueger, you are so beautiful tonight, I have seen your performance at the Victoria's Secret annual show, it is really desirable, I will definitely be there in person at the end of this year, will you still attend this year's Victoria's Secret show?"

Diane Kruger felt that the other party seemed to be holding her little hand for a little longer, and she was a little surprised, this was the first time she had been so obviously entangled in these days. With a polite smile on her face, she withdrew her hand with a slight force and replied, "Yes, Mr. Hasenfield, I signed a five-year contract with Victoria's Secret." ”

"Oh, that's great. Alan Hasenfeld did not feel the slightest embarrassment when the girl shook off his hand, and said politely.

After chatting a few words on the side, Michael Eisner took Edgar Bronfman away without a trace under the pretext that a guest had arrived.

Turning to a quieter corner, Edgar Bronfman couldn't wait to ask, "Michael, are you mistaken?" That's Eric Williams' woman?"

This form of party, if you deliberately don't bring a female companion, is usually in the guise of lust. In order to be able to get the copyright of Transformers, if Alan Hasenfeld takes a fancy to any actress present, as long as it is not one of the top big names, Universal only needs to match it and promise some film cooperation, which can basically satisfy Alan Hasenfeld.

Hollywood is messy, it's a well-known thing in circles. But there are some women that many people know they can't provoke.

Diane Kruger, a girl who has just turned 18 years old, has risen from an unknown model to one of the five most well-known supermodels in the United States and even the world in less than half a year.

Therefore, people who know a little bit about the inside story have labeled Diane Kruger as Williams, even if they covet it in their hearts, but there is no one who dares to make any small moves so far.

Because of Eric's strong influence. Elite, who is in charge of this girl's modeling agency, and ICM, who is in charge of her entertainment agency, protect her like a princess, and many people can feel it. Compared with the other four Victoria's Secret spokespersons, Diane Kruger's brand endorsement and invitation to business events are often the most difficult.

Michael Eisner was well aware of these things, and when he heard Edgar Bronfman's question, he looked at the crowd around him, leaned in and whispered, "Of course I know it's Eric Williams' woman." Imagine, if Alan Hasenfeld runs into a wall in front of her, or even further falls out with Eric Williams, will the Firefly studios still be able to get the Transformers rights?"

Born into a family of super-wealthy, Edgar Bronfman knew it from an early age. Business competition has always been about everything, and if you want to play a game of business war with warmth, you will only end up with a defeat. Michael Eisner easily agreed with his idea, but a trace of concern rose in his heart, and he looked at Alan Hassenfeld, who was still wrapped around Diane Kruger, and said, "Don't be self-defeating." ”

"No," Michael Eisner shook his head and smiled, "It's a public place, everybody is decent, it's not a big deal." ”

On the other hand, Alan Hasenfeld was just beginning, and he was indeed a little immersed in Diane Kruger's beauty, and after some dedication to nothing, he soon discovered something unusual.

Recently, as several major film companies competed for the rights to Transformers, Alan Hasenfeld was invited to attend many internal Hollywood parties.

Of course, there was some warm hospitality, and in the process, he discovered that those beautiful faces that used to be only seen on movies or TV screens were not so unattainable.

Some people even took the initiative to post it themselves after hearing his identity. But the girl in front of him treats him with a completely different attitude, and Alan Hasenfeld can clearly feel the very formulaic etiquette she has towards herself. Moreover, in the past, the actresses' agents and entourages would walk away very interestingly after an introduction, but Diane Kruger's agents had no intention of leaving, and looked at him with a little vigilance in their eyes.

Alan Hasenfield, who gradually woke up from his desire, felt these details and slowly noticed that something was wrong, and the obvious look in the eyes of many people around him made him realize that there must be demons when things happen.

Although he likes beauty, Alan Hasenfeld will never want to cause unnecessary trouble, and he is even keenly aware that Michael Eisner has just brought him straight to this girl, and the purpose is probably not so simple.

Alan Hasenfield was going to get up and walk away to find out what was going on first, but looking at the heart-warming young face, he was still a little unwilling, hesitated slightly, and asked, "Diane." Take the liberty of asking, do you have a boyfriend?"

Diane Kruger opened her mouth in a daze, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

During this time, she clearly felt the special treatment she was receiving, and at the same time, she knew the root cause of these benefits. Because people think of her as a woman like Eric Williams.

From last year to now, even if she doesn't have to deliberately inquire, she can feel his ubiquitous influence in Hollywood, and this powerful influence even allows her to enjoy the meticulous care of everyone around her just by virtue of some scandals between the two.

Immersed in this kind of princess-like treatment, unconsciously, even she silently recognized her identity, and she seemed to really be his woman. What's more, there is no harm in being his woman.

However, Alan Hassenfield's sudden question is like a silver needle that strikes out of thin air, popping the dream bubble that she has built up like self-hypnosis. There was a trace of trepidation in her heart, if in the future, these people around her who took care of her respectfully found that she had nothing to do with him at all, that. What will be the result?

Suddenly, she felt as if she was in free fall. Fall, fall......

It's like the feeling you feel when you wake up from every dream.

Heaven, mortal, hell.

Unlike Diane Kruger's sudden distraction, ICM agent Susie Dean, who had been standing next to her, heard Alan Hassenfield's question and finally understood. This guy in front of him really doesn't know anything, so it's no wonder that there is such an entanglement.

Susie Dean was aware of the recent Transformers copyright fight, so she didn't want to get into trouble with Alan Hasenfield.

Because of UTA's incense love at that time, the cooperation between Firefly and ICM has been very close over the years. In just a few years, ICM has been able to compete with two established agencies, CAA and WMA, and its client base has rapidly expanded to nearly 3,000 people, which is inseparable from the support of several film companies in the Firefly system, and Kapoor Sid has successfully served as ICM's CEO. Many of ICM's former UTA agents often even call Eric Williams the big boss in private, and they are proud of it, which shows Eric Williams' influence on ICM.

If this incident affects the copyright ownership of Transformers, Diane Kruger will be fine, and Alan Hasenfeld will be fine, but her agent, who has not handled this matter well, is likely to suffer.

When Susie Dean heard Alan Hassenfield's question, she thought that this shrewd little girl would hint at her relationship with Eric Williams without a trace, but she began to be stunned for some reason. In desperation, Susie Dean was about to speak for her client, when she felt a noticeable movement in the party hall, like an invisible hourglass being suddenly flipped over, and the guests were like gravitational sand, quickly gathering towards the door of the hall.

"It's Eric Williams, I didn't expect him to come. ”

"Let's get over there, maybe we can say hello. ”

"Katie, let's see if the eye makeup I just touched up, is there any ...... Hey, don't go. ”

“……”

There was a buzz of discussion, and everyone quickly realized what was happening, and even some of the guests who had their own identities couldn't help but move their steps and turned to the focus of everyone's eyes, hoping to notice them as soon as Eric arrived.

Hearing Eric's name, Diane Kruger, who was a little dazed, immediately came to her senses, she had been entangled by Alan Hasenfeld since she arrived, and she never went too far from the door, but she turned her head, although most of her vision was blocked by the human wall, she still caught the haunting figure in the crowd at a glance.

Susie Dean saw that Alan Hassenfeld's attention was also attracted by this sudden movement, so she swallowed back what she was about to say, and reached out to pat Diane Kruger: "Diane, Mr. Williams is here, let's go over." ”

"Ah, okay," Diane Kruger blurted out subconsciously, and panicked again.

I haven't seen him for a few months, what if he is cold to himself, there are so many people here, once that's the case, then a lot of things can't be hidden.

Looking at the figure surrounded by everyone, Diane Kruger flinched a little, like a prisoner before his execution, hoping to live a little longer.

"Susie, there's too many people, let's wait a minute," Diane Kruger said after a moment's hesitation.

Susie Dean couldn't have known what she was thinking, and when she saw a group of big men crowded around Eric, she nodded her head: "Then let's go over later." ”

In the center of the crowd, Michael Eisner and Edgar Bronfman, who had taken the initiative to greet him when they heard the announcement, were beside Eric left and right, although they had a warm smile on their faces, they felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts. These days, they have always been the center of attention, but as soon as the young man next to them appeared, he easily stole all the limelight.

In the hall, whether it is a Hollywood superstar, a well-known director, a gold medal producer, are very eager to rush forward to greet Eric, with the beginning of the year to the present Firefly intensively released film production plans, Eric can be said to have the most concerned films in Hollywood, Firefly has become popular with a large number of directors, actors and even producers over the years, even if it is a filmmaker with full personality, it is impossible to ignore the large number of cooperation opportunities contained in these films.

In addition to these people, the rich people who used to attend Hollywood parties were often able to maintain enough superiority in front of these Hollywood 'natives' by virtue of their huge wealth, after all, even if these people were beautiful on the surface, they were often just pawns under the operation of capital. In recent days, Edgar Bronfman, who has successfully joined Universal Pictures, has actually maintained this kind of pride, but Eric's appearance has knocked this pride in his heart without a trace.

With the acquisition of MCA, Edgar Bronfman has invested almost 70% of the assets of the Seagram Group.

But at this time, the entire MCA Group, including Universal, has a market value of only $7.5 billion according to the transaction price with Panasonic. However, the latest issue of "Business Week" valued Firefly Group at a staggering $45 billion, which is more than the combined market value of Time Warner and Viacom, and a full six times the market value of MCA. With the assets of the Firefly Group alone, Eric Williams' net worth has reached 33 billion, and his assets outside Hollywood also exceed 10 billion US dollars, and on the North American 400 richest list published by Forbes magazine, Eric Williams' net worth of 46.5 billion US dollars has left the second-ranked Bill Gates far behind.

In front of such a young man, it may be difficult for everyone in this world to find any sense of superiority. (To be continued.) )
