The door of the conference room was pushed open, and Mrs. Runkel, who was standing at the door, turned her attention to Charlieson Runkel, who came out behind Eric. After receiving a slight nod from Runkel, Mrs. Runkel revealed that Happy smile.
"Mr. Williams, you are a very good person. I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." Now that the matter has been settled, Brian Kurtzman no longer regards Eric as a negotiating opponent, and his face is calm. With a little respect, he reached out to Eric.
"I think so," Eric smiled and shook hands with the other party. The agent's self-restraint skills are indeed admirable. If someone else was like this by Charlieson Langkel, they would be pissed off. Gotta slam the door.
But Brian Kurtzman didn't stay too long. After talking with the Lankers indifferently, he found a reason to leave.
Eric felt that although Stu could bring a huge income to the agent, Brian Kurtzman would definitely give up the position of Jr. Stu's agent and work with a very incompetent who hardly cooperated with him. Client cooperation, it is estimated that any excellent broker is unbearable.
Looking at his watch, after more than half an hour of negotiation, the time just passed twelve o'clock.
"Charlie,
Shall we go to lunch together? "Eric thought for a while, and said to the Lankers and his wife, who were standing by and whispering.
Charlison Rankl raised his head and saw that Eric still put on a friendly expression, vaguely resembling the high school boy next door, but Charlson Rankl could never put it on again. Eric looked at the boy at the time, and he estimated that he could not forget the small conference room for a long time. Eric's aggressive aura.
"No, Eric, we still have things to do." Charlison refused.
"No. I'm going." The little guy shouted in dissatisfaction when he heard his father's refusal. He wanted to rush to Eric's side, but was pulled tightly by Mrs. Runkel, who gave the little guy a warning look.
Eric knew that the gap between the two parties due to interests was irreparable, so he stopped inviting him, comforted the little guy a few words, and left with Elizabeth and the others.
In a restaurant near Century City, Allen and the driver consciously sat at another table, leaving only Eric and Elizabeth sitting opposite. After ordering, Elizabeth couldn't wait to ask, "Eric, is it settled so soon?"
"Then how long do you think it will take?" Eric asked rhetorically.
Elizabeth thought for a while and said: "I remember last year Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman's "Rain Man" talked about for more than half a year, and it almost became yellow in the end. And "Dark War", you guys You've been in a stalemate with caa for a long time, haven't you?"
Eric smiled: "This time the situation is different. If it is to talk with caa's agent, it may take a while, but I talked directly with Charlieson Langkel."
The girl nodded in understanding, and asked, "How much is that little guy's salary this time?"
"8 million plus 3% of the North American box office."
"It's so high, it's so cheap, that little pervert." Elizabeth said bitterly.
Eric thought to himself that it must be when he negotiated with Lankel and the others. The girl was bullied by the little guy again: "It's not high, and Stu is worth the price, if it is negotiated with the caa who has full control of the initiative. In the end, the price will definitely be higher. It's a pity that the couple are neither smart nor Trust other people, and in the end, you will suffer yourself.”
"You are really impersonal, I remember they were your neighbors, right?" The girl changed her position immediately after hearing this.
Although Eric liked the smart little guy Stu very much, he no longer liked the Lankers, but he was too lazy to take credit. The waiter brought his lunch and ate it in silence.
"Are you so busy every day?" When Elizabeth asked this, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon, and she had been running around all day. Eric went back to his office. He also needs to approve some documents about the merger of New Line and Firefly. At this time, there were no more people in Firefly's office building, and Elizabeth did not leave work like the others. Instead, he stayed in Eric's office bored, looking around.
"No. It's just that there are a lot of things happening during this time," Eric replied without looking up.
"Oh," Elizabeth responded, opened the window of the filing cabinet, and casually took out a document and looked at it.
It was not until seven o'clock that Eric sorted out the documents in front of him, only to find that Elizabeth was still curled up on the sofa in the office.
"Everyone else is off work, why don't you leave?"
Seeing that Eric seemed to have finished his work, the girl quickly stood up and put a book in her hand back on the shelf: "There's nothing to do when I go back. Besides, there must be a beginning and an end in doing things."
Eric wanted to ridicule a few words, but since the girl had been with him all day and was still obedient, he swallowed the words that came to his lips. But the girl obviously didn't appreciate it: "You must be trying to ridicule me, right?"
"No," Eric denied: "Let's go." After speaking, Eric walked out first.
The girl caught up with the first two steps and said reluctantly: "You must have wanted to ridicule me just now. It's nothing more than a little lady who has nothing to do, right?"
"Well, I do have this idea," Eric replied helplessly, greeted the company security a few times, and walked towards the stairs.
The girl showed an expression like this: "I worked all day, and I didn't even ask you for overtime pay. You think about me so much, and apologize."
"I'm sorry." Eric didn't bother to argue with the girl.
The girl pouted: "It's not sincere, you have to invite me to dinner or something, I've been with you until so late?"
Eric was just about to find a place to settle dinner, so he nodded: "Okay."
Elizabeth suddenly became suspicious: "You agreed so easily, you wouldn't have any plans for me, would you?"
"You're a typical woman," Eric was completely helpless.
Although he knew that if he asked, Eric would definitely not come up with any good comments, but Elizabeth still couldn't hold back her words: "What do you mean by that?"
"If you are far away, you will be angry. If you are near, you will not be inferior." Eric said a Chinese sentence that he hadn't spoken for a long time.
Elizabeth was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, while forgetting to entangle the topic just now. With a little smugness in her tone, she said, "This is Chinese, don't think I can't hear it. There are a lot of Chinese students in our school." After the girl finished speaking, she then said lamely: "Tian Wang should whisper, Bao him is really drunk. How about what I said, is it better than your standard?"
Eric rolled his eyes, thinking that it is really standard, it is not easy to say all a sentence in the first sentence, he thought about it several times before he realized what the girl said.
"Do you know what this means?" Eric asked casually as he walked out of the office building.
"They say it's a code word. It's almost like Open Sesame, I can still write it, you can't write it, right?"
"Yeah, yeah, you're better than me." Eric said perfunctorily, and when he came to the parking lot, Eric looked around and asked, "Where's your car?"
"I didn't drive today," the girl spread her hands.
Eric had to open his car door: "Then get in the car."
After dinner, it was more than eight o'clock when he came out of the restaurant. Eric looked at the girl who was still following him and asked, "How do you get back. Do you want to call your driver to pick you up?"
The girl looked at Eric and said in an unbelievable tone: "How can you be so unpretentious, in this situation. Shouldn't you take me back in person?"
"Please, Your Royal Highness, your home is in Malibu. It takes two hours to come and go, so don't bring such a tossing person."
"Forget it, I'll take a taxi back," the girl said with a nonchalant expression, her two small hands in the pockets of her jeans, and she took a few steps on the curb. Looking at the traffic coming and going on the street at night, he said in a low voice: "But there have been several taxi robberies in Los Angeles recently. I heard that the victims are all young women. But don't worry, if something happens to me. My dad I certainly don't blame you."
"Get in the car!" Eric squeezed out these words through gritted teeth.
The girl laughed, like a nimble cat pulling down the car door in twos and threes, got into the co-pilot, and saw Eric who was sitting in a depressed face, the girl who was wearing the seat belt laughed twice: "Okay. I'm lying to you, I've been living with Julia these days, and although it's not on the way, it won't be a waste of time for you."
Eric snorted and stepped on the accelerator.
Not long after the car left, the girl suddenly pointed her finger and said, "There's a movie theater in front. Let's go back after watching a movie. It's still so early, I haven't seen a movie in a long time."
Eric parked the car on the side of the road, neither pulling out the key nor intending to get out of the car, put his hands on the steering wheel and turned his head and asked, "Liz, what do you want?"
The girl saw Eric's impatient look, her lips moved, she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, I just made a random suggestion on a whim. People like you are always so complicated. Come on, take me back."
Eric patted the steering wheel: "Look, isn't it a movie."
Not only to watch the movie, but also to see what kind of moth this chick can come up with tonight.
"This is like a gentleman," the girl quickly unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car.
Eric drove the car into the parking lot, got out of the car, and walked into the nearby cinema with Elizabeth.
"My treat, what are you looking at?" In the ticket office, the girl generously took out her small purse.
Eric glanced at the posters put up by the surrounding cinemas for publicity, and pointed to one of them: "This one."
""When Harry Met Sally"?" The girl leaned over and looked at the slogan on the poster: "It looks interesting, that's all."
