America: Starting with the Acquisition of MGM

Chapter 248 243 This Guy Doesn't Seem to Want to Admit His Fault. What Should I Do?

Chapter 244 243. This guy doesn’t seem to want to admit his debt, what should I do?

After the premiere of "A Quiet Place", after sending Elizabeth home, Eric and the Olsen sisters came to the hotel to rest.

Eric was sitting on the sofa, watching Fox News, which was showing the trailer for the second season of "American Idol", which was quite beautifully edited.

However, the scumbag Justin Stewart did not appear in the more than one minute trailer.

Ashley said: "It seems that Fox is also having a headache and doesn't know how to deal with this matter. Eric, have you watched the news abroad? It is said that Justin Timberlake paid more than one million bail before being released from the police station. come out."

Eric laughed loudly: "You are quite rich, but I don't know if you can still afford it when facing a claim?"

"I don't think so. He has only been really popular in the past few years. Most of his money has been taken away by the company. He will probably file for bankruptcy. Maybe the house will be mortgaged by then."

Speaking of the house, Mary suddenly poked her head around.

She said while drinking red wine: "Eric, I want to move out of my house. This is too inconvenient."

"What do you mean?" Eric pretended to be confused.

Ashley shook her head: "Marriage? It sounds too far apart from our age, and there is no need for two heroines. In fact, Mary and I have each received movie invitations."

"Then what? Were you two happy when you were fooling around? Why didn't you think about this issue at the time?"

Seeing that she was still thinking about it, Eric felt a little dizzy.

"Just what you said? What?"

"But the combination of you two is the biggest selling point. Separation always makes people feel that there is something missing."

"Yes, it's always accurate."

"Peppa Pig!"

"I've made some inquiries. There is a house for sale not far from your home, about one kilometer away. It only costs $18 million. I want to move there."

Los Angeles Times: ""A Quiet Place" is an eye-catching horror film. The source of fear is novel and the atmosphere is created well. It is recommended for fans who like horror films."

"When we want to move out, we make excuses based on our age. Are we worried that it will affect your promiscuity?"

"But it's different now. Since you joined, Double Star Entertainment's performance has been getting better and better, and its profits have increased nearly four times. Now it's completely affordable."

Eric chuckled: "Then let's wait and see. I think this little pink piglet can bring at least more than 300 million US dollars in profits to Double Star Entertainment every year."

Now Nicole goes to church and has a relationship with her mother when she has nothing to do. If you two get involved again, it will definitely be more troublesome.

Hearing this, Mary glared at him: "Asshole, Gal Gadot wasn't an adult when you kidnapped her to the United States."

"I have a hunch that this cartoon will become a hit all over the world. It is possible that it will become the "Tom and Jerry" of the new century. By then, it will definitely take Double Star Entertainment completely."

"The protagonists are two biological sisters. Just like you, they are the princesses of the same country. This is something I have reserved for you two."

"Have you forgotten the lesson of John Lennon? His wife was disemboweled and she was still pregnant with the child at the time."

Eric clicked on the August 15th center, and the two of them felt like they were electrocuted.

"Really? Eric, you better not make me think you're kidding."

Ashley had regained some strength, but she had come at least eight times, her eyes half-open and half-closed now, as if she was about to fall asleep.

"Well, a big A-level production may be the box office champion this year. Note, I am talking about the world champion."

"What do you want?"

"Of course it's to buy a house. Ashley and I have discussed it and plan to buy a house in Beverly Hills."

"How about a bet? If this number is reached, I will be rude then."

"Yes, it's a piglet, and it's an animation for preschoolers. I don't think it's possible."

"Also, what are you going to do? The awards season is over, and you can't stay idle forever. If you don't get the role, why not shoot it for MGM."

Salt Lake City Entertainment News: "The silent and oppressive atmosphere, the terrifying and suffocating environment, and you will be torn into pieces as long as you make a little sound. This is the best horror film this year. If you want to feel the fright, you must go to the cinema to watch "Silence" "This place has everything you want."

"Then we will also launch a listing. According to my plan, we will gradually annex Hasbro and Mattel and become the largest monopolistic toy manufacturer in the United States. No, it should be said that we are the largest toy manufacturer in the world."

"Champion, is this your premonition again?"

“In the past, with our financial resources, it was difficult to afford tens-of-million-dollar mansions, high property taxes and maintenance costs.”

After hearing the exaggerated figure of $300 million, Mary's attention was successfully diverted.

"Well, you're overthinking it. I'm just worried about your safety. After all, two 17-year-old girls will suffer if someone has bad intentions."

Chicago Sun News: "MGM's new movie "A Quiet Place" has its premiere. The movie maintains the consistently high standards of MGM's horror films and is definitely worth watching."

He changed the topic and said: "By the way, speaking of the company, MGM is about to launch a new children's animation "Peppa Pig". After it is broadcast, it will be licensed to Double Star Entertainment to develop peripherals. It will definitely make a lot of money. "

"Recently, I found a pretty good script from the script library called "Marriage Wars," a comedy with two heroines."

"But where are there so many excellent dual-heroine scripts in the world? We can't wait forever. Maybe you can shoot "Marriage Fight" in a few years until Mary and I are in our twenties."

"You are an alarmist. There are dozens of police cars patrolling Beverly Hills every day. It is safer to rob a bank than commit a crime here."

"Huh? But you two are only 17, isn't it too early to leave the family now? I think it's more appropriate to wait until you reach adulthood next year at least."

"Eric, although your premonitions have always been accurate, surpassing "Tom and Jerry" sounds like a joke. "Tom and Jerry" was created by MGM. Don't you understand its greatness?"

"I remember you mentioned it once, the one DreamWorks is making?" Mary remembered something.

"Jerry may still have a competition with Mickey for who is the greatest mouse in the world, but Tom is definitely the greatest cat in the world."

Eric didn't force it: "Okay, let's forget about this movie. The other one is the dubbing of a cartoon with two heroines, called "Frozen"."

"The three Olsen sisters ushered in a joint show on the red carpet. MGM President Eric Cooper attended to support them and praised Elizabeth Olsen as a rising star!"

NBC Entertainment: "An excellent horror thriller with all the acting skills of the entire cast. As the younger sister of the Golden Globe-winning actress Olsen's sisters, Elizabeth Olsen has contributed outstanding acting skills and is a rising star in Hollywood. "

CBS Entertainment Online: "The Olsen family, a rising Hollywood upstart!"

MGM Tower, offices.

After signing a lot of documents, Eric browsed the reviews of "A Quiet Place". As expected, the novelty of the high-concept horror film made most of the media give positive feedback.

Not only the media, but also the audience's evaluation was very good.

The freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes has reached 93%. It is very rare for a horror film to achieve this number.

Boom, boom, boom.

There was a knock on the door, and Carol and Chen Xing walked in.

Carroll said with a smile on his face: "Boss, the data is out. "A Quiet Place" took in $28.77 million at the box office in the three days over the weekend."

"According to current trends and evaluations, next week's box office is expected to reach US$50 million, and BOX's box office forecast has been adjusted to US$130 million."

Eric nodded: "I understand. Send a text message to the crew and creators to congratulate you, and prepare a celebration banquet."

"Boss, do you want to participate?"

"If you don't participate, I will have to fly abroad to film "Inception". You can attend in my place."

"Okay, I understand. In addition, Mel Gibson's company is communicating with us about whether to hold a premiere for "The Passion of the Christ"?"

Eric sneered: "Is Mel Gibson crazy? He still wants to hold a premiere? He doesn't think the movie has enough trouble?"

"If this premiere happens, I'm worried that some extreme Jews will take extreme measures and tell them not to think about these messy things."

"Let it be released honestly, don't make any mistakes during the period, restrain the actors, don't let anyone talk nonsense, just sit back and wait for the money to be counted!"

Unless Eric is crazy, we can't hold a premiere of "The Passion of the Christ" in the United States. We can go to the Vatican. There is no place more suitable than there.

Carol left, and Chen Xing stepped forward: "Congratulations to the boss, "A Quiet Place" will definitely make a lot of money again."

"Stop flattering me and ask you to come over and arrange a job. I came back from China some time ago and established a new company, mainly engaged in the export of film and television to China."

"I plan to let you serve as the vice president concurrently. Don't let go of MGM's affairs. You can be busy but it will be good for future development. What do you think?"

"I follow the company's arrangements!" Chen Xing replied without thinking.

"Well, this is the answer I want to hear. After a year and a half, you will go to China to take charge of the overall business there and replace Susan."

"Her language and culture are always a barrier, and you have the advantage here."

"Thank you boss, I will definitely work hard!"

Chen Xing felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest with excitement. Service leaders were indeed promoted the fastest.

He remembered that his grandfather always said that he would start a career first and then start a family. Now that he was able to do this in his early thirties, his career was considered established.

He was busy until it was almost noon. Eric looked at the time and estimated that the other party should arrive, so he got up and came to the conference room.

Not long after, the staff led the two women in.

Walking in the front was Mrs. Valentine, the current owner of the Hudson Theater, followed by Liu Yifei's cousin Zhou Wenqiong, one of the Twelve Beauties of the Pearl Film Festival.

"Mr. Cooper, we meet again."

Mrs. Valentine took the initiative to extend her hand. She was a middle-aged woman in her fifties with a relatively kind face.

And her acting style is just like her appearance. Such a person will definitely not make money in business, and it is not easy for the Hudson Theater to not collapse.

"Hello, Ms. Valentine."

"See you again, Joan."

Zhou Wenqiong's smile was like a flower. After waiting for more than half a year, she thought there was no chance. Who knew that the cooperation was suddenly concluded?

As a middleman, not only did Mrs. Valentine give me a generous reward, but Eric would definitely give him generous treatment as well.

After coming to the United States for so many years, I am finally going to make a name for myself. As a Chinese and a woman, it is really not easy.

Everyone sat down, and the lawyers of both parties began to review the contract.

"Mr. Cooper, the Hudson Theater is the hard work of my husband. When he bought this century-old theater, he wanted to run it better, but unfortunately an accident happened."

"I am an incompetent woman and cannot help him fulfill his wish. I hope you can make the theater better, even if it is to fulfill my husband's wish."

Eric said solemnly: "Don't worry, Ms. Valentine, MGM spent 30 million US dollars to buy the theater, and it will cost another 15 million US dollars to renovate it."

"We will not joke with money. From today, MGM will officially enter Broadway. You will witness the glory of this century-old theater again with your own eyes."

"Of course, I believe in your ability, and your deeds are I have seen it on TV and in newspapers many times. I wish you success! "

"Although I am no longer the owner of the theater, I still have a few words to say. I hope you can adopt them."

Eric nodded: "Please speak. If it is reasonable, I will consider it."

"Well, it is mainly about the employees of the theater. You must have seen the relevant information. Some of them have worked for more than ten years and have rich experience in this industry."

"The poor management of the theater is mainly due to me, not their incompetence. So if possible, I hope you don't fire these people. Many people rely on this job to support their families."

Eric listened to her calmly, but did not express his opinion.

This old lady is really too kind. She still thinks about her employees at this time.

Even a fool knows that the decline of such a large theater is definitely related to the poor level of the employees.

Want to continue to use you? Use your ass!

Mrs. Valentine looked at Zhou Wenqiong and continued, "And Joan, she has rich experience in Broadway, which will definitely be of great help to you in running the theater."

"Mr. Cooper, I hope you can continue to hire Joan as the drama director. In fact, with her ability, she is fully qualified for a higher position, such as theater manager."

After the old lady recommended, Zhou Wenqiong stared at Eric, hoping that he would nod.

But Eric still had a blank expression on his face, and he insisted on saying "you say yours, I listen to me".

Seeing this, Zhou Wenqiong couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Just when she was about to say a few words, the lawyer next to her finally finished reviewing the contract.

"Mr. Cooper, according to the prior agreement, there is no problem with the contract, and it can be signed!"

Eric finally smiled, and the pen passed, and the signature took effect.

"You two, happy cooperation, let's have a meal together."

"Okay."

Walking out of the meeting room, looking at Eric's tall back in front of her, Zhou Wenqiong gritted her teeth and hurt.

"Damn it! This guy doesn't seem to want to admit it. What should I do?"
