After a while, Eric carried mobile phone to return to the conference room, Robert Shay also to put down the coffee cup in hand, inquired about that looked to Eric.
„Is Michael Eisner,” in the Eric expression has one vividly to answer.
„To invite you to chat?” Robert Shay selects the eyebrow to ask slightly, he also knew matter that a while ago the disturbance was Michael Eisner in back facilitation.
Eric nodded, sits down to say on the chair: „Yes.”
„Did you comply?” Robert Shay asked curiously.
„Listens to him saying that anything might also as well, I am all right in any case in the evening.” Eric was saying places mobile phone on hand, then said: „Robert, since you are not willing to take over «Basic Instinct», that as soon as possible chooses script, now already in March, if not identify the project that it is estimated that is very difficult to catch up with summer the files.”
Robert sees Eric no longer fills «Basic Instinct» this script to oneself, relaxed slightly at the same time, some unavoidable contradictory losing, this after all is Eric personally compilation script.
However he adjusts quickly the mood, said: „I understand that for serveral days I collected six script, waits for me to let the assistant with you, you help me have a look.”
Eric shook the head: „Does not use, I thought that is chosen by you personally quite well, my impossible 100% guarantee movies to succeed, when you chose script, with signed to me on the line.”
Robert Shay has gawked staring, immediately understands Eric this was the preparation has dropped thoroughly, then, in the future the success or failure of movie, thoroughly with Eric any relations, he certainly do not take full responsibility. But Robert Shay is not the person who does not take on. After hesitation of moment, nodded: „, I will choose script as soon as possible.”
......
After getting off work. Eric drives to return to Malibu, but destination is actually not own Cliff Peak Manor. But is mansion of Michael Eisner situated in Malibu.
„Eric, was very happy that you can come, please enter,” servant led Eric just to enter the mansion front door, Michael Eisner then all smiles welcomed.
„Hello, Mr. Eisner,” Eric has shown a polite smile, has grasped starting with Michael Eisner slightly.
Michael Eisner has not cared about the desolateness of Eric slightly. The whole face happy expression said as before: „Eric, I invite a renowned French chef to make the tonight's supper specially personally, we went.”
The Eric nod goes to dining room with Michael Eisner directly, in entire supper process, besides the servant who often presents, in the dining room has Michael Eisner and Eric two people. Michael Eisner was introducing to Eric skilled the fine place of French cooked food carry, waited for a food to finish eating, but also invited that to lead the French chef of certainly high chef's hat to come out specially, three people have taken a picture.
Admires Michael Eisner good patient at the same time at heart secretly, Eric calmly is also enjoying this supper. In any case now initiative in his hands.
Had the supper, Michael Eisner brings Eric to enter own study room, after the servant finished attending the coffee to draw back. Michael Eisner said: „Eric, since the matter passed, I thought that we should also chat the matter of cooperation.”
The Eric corners of the mouth hang up finally wipe taunt the chuckle: „Cooperation?”
Michael Eisner smiles as before was saying: „Yes, the cooperation, Eric, in this world does not have forever enemy, only then forever benefit, although this is the United Kingdom diplomatic plan. However, I thought. Places in the companies equally to be also general.”
„Not forever enemy, only then forever benefit.” Eric shook the head to smile several, then said: „Mr. Eisner, if you have choice to be able with your friend, or the neutral cooperates, then you can also with your enemy cooperation?”
„Naturally,” Michael Eisner will not say: „But, Eric, you think in Hollywood, does Firefly have the friend? Happiness that very although you and Fox cooperate, but believes me, so long as there is an opportunity, Murdoch definitely maliciously will carry on the back to insert a blade after Firefly.”
„This I also know, therefore, I will not give Mr. Murdoch this opportunity as far as possible, in the meantime, regarding had inserted the enemy of knife in the back, I to the opposite party opportunity,” Eric careless carrying coffee will not say.
Michael Eisner heard Eric saying that as before was maintaining the smile, said: „Eric, I want definitely also to know something, I did not deny, therefore, I thought that we reconcile.”
„Reconciliation?” Eric gains ground to ask: „Reconciles?”
Michael Eisner brings the light self-confidence saying: „«Ghost» is script what kind of?”
Eric wants not to want directly to shake the head: „Mr. Eisner, I do not lack script, therefore does not want to cooperate with Disney. Did not have «Ghost», I choose other was good. Moreover, I ensure Disney cannot manufacture in my heart already that «Ghost» that has formed in one's mind, you this filmmaking, could slightly gain one, but is absolutely impossible becomes the classics, can sell greatly is more difficult to say.”
„, Eric, I do not think that you do not have to understand completely my meaning, I meant that Disney gives «Ghost» script to you, then, we reconcile, what kind of?”
Eric somewhat surprisedly gains ground finally, sees Michael Eisner to have the self-confident vision, immediately, Eric has thought of other issues: „Mr. Eisner, I think Disney to purchase «Ghost» this script, definitely spent the high price, perhaps also promised Bruce. Joy. Robin part draws bonus, right?”
„Yes,” the Michael Eisner nod said: „1 million USD cashes and 3% North America gain sharing.”
Eric plate consider as finished, if according to the previous life result, then this sum of money adds to surpass 3 million, perhaps, regarding the future profit, this sum of money will not be anything. But regarding does not know completely result Disney, this initial price somewhat was simply odd.
Saw that Eric is silent silent, Michael Eisner said: „Eric, Disney has the sincerity, therefore, so long as we reconcile, I free give this script to Firefly.”
„Your contracts what to do?” Eric asked subconsciously: „I think, Bruce. Joy. Robin will definitely not be resigned.”
„This is actually very good to be solved, Disney gives script to Firefly, waits for the filmmaking, is distributed by Disney, is Bruce. Joy. Share of Robin can transfer from some Disney's that profits, do you think what kind of?”
„Firefly and Disney distribute together . Moreover, movie copyright turns over to Firefly,” Eric had pondered fast, such said that since Michael Eisner can make has the choice of boldness like this, if he is also calculating, that appeared too petty.
On the other hand, gives the Disney release the movie completely, although can the maximum benefit, but such Firefly own channel do not think that has developed . Moreover the words that this condition has continued, Firefly will definitely degenerate into previous life DreamWorks such, can produce the good movie, does not have enough strength release, can only struggle to seek livehood in several big Film Studio.
Moreover, these years was to develop the Firefly distribution circuit should better is also the final opportunity, because the cost of the early 90's these years filmmaking was not too high, therefore, Eric decided that even if were these years little gains, must develop the Firefly distribution circuit. Otherwise, to the late 90's, the special effect big piece emerged, then frequently over a hundred million USD production costs, if no own distribution circuit, then the condition will be pitiful. The profit was grasped several big Film Studio of distribution circuit to eliminate majority, Production Studio to even discovered finally one cannot receive including the production cost.
Hears the Eric expression to become less crowded, Michael Eisner wants not to think that the direct nod said: „Does not have the issue.”
Michael Eisner spoke these words, the atmosphere between both sides becomes somewhat is immediately silent. Michael Eisner own goal has been achieved, but wants to enable Eric that Michael Eisner gets refused to insist.
Drinks up front coffee, Eric stands up to say on own initiative: „, Mr. Eisner, does not have the words of other matters, I first went back.”
„I deliver you,” Michael Eisner stands up.
Has sent out the mansion Eric, under Michael Eisner is cold the complexion to return to the study room silent, takes up put in the desk corner, several common folders, inside is the «Ghost» movie project plan book that several Disney Director make.
Michael Eisner can be said as now in seven big Film Studio helmsmen, about Eric knew that deepest, is knows deepest one to Eric individual potential. Therefore, he will unite several other Film Studio year ago, started to the joint suppression of Firefly, because what a pity some careless mistakes in process, the matter has not succeeded. But saw after Murdoch contacts the Eric news on own initiative, Michael Eisner reconciles on the decisive underground determination and Eric. After all, just like he started say, did not have forever enemy, only then forever benefit.
Moreover, Michael Eisner had not planned is the price and Eric reconciles with «Ghost» script, but, he let several well-known Director of Disney takes away the research a while ago «Ghost» script, project alternative that then, these people provide, is now his these things in hand, has not made Michael Eisner satisfied.
