Chapter 997 Is He This Kind of Person?

It's already midsummer, and it's not even eight o'clock in the morning, and the sunlight coming in from the window is already warm.

Marissa Mayer came to the living room with two breakfasts, put the tray on the round table by the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked out the glass window subconsciously.

This apartment is Eric's penthouse at the entrance of Sixth Avenue, but he has not come back to live this week, so this apartment has become the "employee welfare" of the two female assistants.

Looking out from an altitude of more than 200 meters, the sun has risen high, like a blazing mercury headlight hanging on the blue sky, with New York City surrounded by most of the water at the foot, and the nearby Central Park from The field of vision is extended, and it is extremely wide surrounded by the buildings that are lined up in rows.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Mayer took a deep breath and fantasized about when he would be able to buy such an apartment.

After a short stunned moment, Mayer left the window and came to the study upstairs in the apartment. Caroline was busy sorting documents, and the fax machine and printer in the study were humming.

Today is Monday, June 15th.

In the morning, Eric will set off for Helsinki, the capital of Finland. It is another new week. Many things need to be handled by Eric, and Caroline and Mayer are also faced with a lot of work.

Mayer and Caroline said hello, bound a document that had just been printed, put it in a folder, and then took a page of the form just sent from the fax machine and glanced at it, Dao: "The second weekend was 42.03 million US dollars, a drop of 43%, which is very good. The cumulative box office in ten days has reached 153 million US dollars."

Caroline knew that Mayer was talking about the box office information for the next weekend of "The Day After Tomorrow". She tapped the mouse on the laptop screen on the desk a few times, and the printer started buzzing again, saying, "Of course. , this is the script written by Eric himself, Mary, can you pass me that gray folder?"

Mayer listened to Caroline's admiring tone, with a smile on her face, handed a folder next to Caroline, and said: "However, I have always been curious, why did Eric put the "Hacker" in the first place The production rights for the sequel to "Empire" have been sold. Now there are five days before the release of "The Matrix 2", and the midnight pre-sale is already close to 5 million US dollars. The global box office of this sequel is likely to exceed the first one. "

Caroline said: "Eric didn't like the Wachowskis' sequel script, and there are other reasons, if you were paying attention, you should know, anyway, it is very troublesome."

Mayer naturally also knew the contradiction between the two main creators and Firefly after the release of "The Matrix", as well as the fans' protest that Firefly interfered with the Wachowski brothers' creative ideas, saying: "If it were me, no matter what. Sold. 'The Matrix' has more impact than the movie itself, and having the franchise in your hands can even boost the overall strength of a studio."

When Firefly sold the rights to the sequel to The Matrix, Caroline had already entered Eric's assistant's office. She was still very clear about the whole thing, and Eric had chatted with her about it. If it was another film company, it would not be easy to sell a series like "The Matrix" that can almost represent the company's image, but the most important thing Firefly lacks is the super blockbuster that can represent the company's image.

However, Caroline has no plans to convince Mayer. Eric has said that it is very boring to force others to agree with his point of view on some unimportant matters, although Caroline feels that Eric Ke was just too lazy, but after getting along for a long time, the girl gradually became infected with some of Eric's living habits, so she said, "Mary, let's tidy up quickly, and we have to go to the airport first."

Mayer nodded and didn't ask any further, and began to help Caroline get busy together. She also knew that her relationship with Caroline could not be as close as she and Melanie, and took out another document from the printer. bound,

Mayer still said: "I don't know what Eric is doing now?"

Caroline paused, her face showing a slightly distressed look, and forced herself to be absent-minded: "What about him, bad guy."

Eric was in Greenwich Village, downtown.

Compared with the high-rise apartment at the entrance of Sixth Avenue, the morning light is just right in the restaurant on the second floor of this red-brick apartment, which is hidden among several green trees.

Most of the fall TV series are in the preparatory stage. However, the reality show has already started to be produced in advance. Eric took time yesterday to check the production progress of the new seasons of "America's Next Top Model" and "Project Runway". Cindy Crawford had dinner with Linda Evangelinsta, and that's it.

This is the apartment that Linda bought for $2.8 million a few years ago. It looks like an ordinary three-story red-brick apartment on the outside, but the interior is a spacious duplex with exquisite decoration and a roof. With a small rooftop garden. The condo's price is said to have doubled in recent years as the U.S. real estate industry has recovered rapidly.

At the dining table, Eric quietly stared at Eric, who was eating breakfast and flipping through a "vogue" magazine with great interest. Linda suddenly felt a little resentful and said, "I think, I I will never let you in in the future, you have to pull me and Cindy together every time, it's too messy."

Eric didn't lift his head, but nodded slowly and in a big way, expressing his approval very insincerely.

Linda waved the spoon in her hand angrily, but did not smash it, but turned to Cindy next to her, as if she wanted to pull her to her side.

Cindy elegantly took a small bite from a piece of bread, glanced at her contemptuously, and said, "Eric and I didn't want to come to you, don't tell me you don't remember what happened last night. "

Linda's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed. She really only remembered some scattered images and said, "This is the problem. I rarely got drunk before. This guy must be making trouble."

"You mean he purposely got you drunk in order to get you to bed?" Cindy shook her finger at Eric, with a smile on her face, and said, "Do you think he is this kind of person?"

"Don't you think he's a good guy?"

"Of course not, I mean, he wouldn't be so troublesome at all."

Eric finally raised his head and said helplessly: "Shouldn't you guys talk about this kind of topic in private behind my back?"

Linda glanced over and said, "You know how embarrassed you are?"

"Yeah yeah, I'm already ashamed,"

"Hmm," Linda let out a light hum, feeling that there would be no result at all in discussing the topic just now in front of Eric, and instead asked, "Hey, are you leaving New York today?"

Eric nodded and said, "The plane at noon."

Hearing Eric mentioning the plane, Linda remembered something and said, "Last time I went to Long Island, I saw your private airport under construction. Can I borrow your private plane in the future?"

"Yes," Eric said cheerfully, "But there is a premise."

"Um?"

Eric said solemnly: "The woman who wants to use my private jet is either my woman or lace, you choose one."

"I choose the lace edge," Linda immediately made a decision in a rude manner, and leaned over to Cindy's side: "Baby Cindy, let's give it a kiss."

Cindy didn't mind either, and skillfully kissed Linda's two red lips, and ate something on her own.

The kiss of the two stunning stunners, although it was only a brief moment of carelessness, was still very pleasing to the eye. Eric couldn't help nodding and said with a smile: "Okay, keep it up."

Linda giggled twice, a little heartless, but Cindy just rolled her eyes at Eric.

The two girls still had work to do today, and they ate breakfast happily, and the three of them left Linda's apartment together.

Eric was not in a hurry, and very considerately sent the two women to their workplaces before rushing to Long Island MacArthur Airport.

MacArthur Airport is in the middle of Long Island, about 70 kilometers away from Manhattan. It was a traffic jam on Monday morning. When Eric arrived at the airport, it was almost noon, and Caroline and Melanie had arrived ahead of schedule.

After a simple breakfast at a restaurant near the airport, Eric boarded the Boeing 767. This trip will fly directly to Helsinki, the capital of Finland. After dealing with Nokia, Eric will rush to London.

The distance between New York and Helsinki is nearly 7,000 kilometers. According to the speed of this Boeing 767, the journey takes about ten hours. According to the time difference, the time in Helsinki should be six o'clock in the morning when you arrive at the destination. Although it is a little early, Finland is close to the Arctic Circle. It is the longest time of the year.

"Eric, this is the box office information for the past weekend; this is the final list of characters in Sleepy Hollow. The set of Sleepy Hollow in the UK has been basically completed, and Mr. Burton will also fly to the UK on Wednesday. Preparations before the start of the shooting; also, this is the transaction statement of the last batch of shares purchased by the Clover Fund; um, this is the financing plan just drawn up by Los Angeles..."

In the study room of the private plane, after the plane flew smoothly, Caroline placed a lot of documents in front of Eric.

However, looking at Mayer's sullen face next to him, and listening to Caroline's serious tone, Eric realized that maybe he hadn't gone back to his apartment for the whole week. Well, little cousin is not happy. , there is a little emotion.

Pressing the last "Public Enemy" script handed over by Caroline under his arm, Eric looked at her and coaxed: "Hey, when you get to Finland, can I take you to the Arctic Circle to see the aurora?"

Caroline blinked and said, "The North Pole is now the polar day, and there is no aurora."

Eric patted his forehead: "Oh, I forgot about this, then let's have a good stroll around Helsinki, and you come to be me as a tour guide."

Caroline refused: "No, I still have to work."
