Remember [Chinese Website] www. in one second, to provide you with a high-speed text starter. A few people around laughed, and the fat man who seemed to be a producer of Fox in the introduction just said: "Eric, I also have a few scripts there, or I will also send it to Jiaojiao Manor tomorrow, you can help , These projects are still under consideration, if you can pick out one, the heroine will choose the Connery sister."

Fatty had just finished speaking, and everyone else who was watching the excitement was keenly aware that this was a very good opportunity. Although it is not easy for Eric to write the script himself, let Eric help choose the script. It's a very lucrative thing to pay for only one heroine.

"Eric, here I am..."

"Eric, tomorrow I will also send someone..."

Realizing this, several executive producers surrounding them immediately put down their restraint and took the initiative to recommend it.

"How can you do this," Amy Pascal, who was squeezed aside, complained helplessly.

Noticing that many people at the party looked over curiously, Eric gestured around and made a silent motion. The few in front of them were all smart people. Knowing that the news spread, they would not have much chance. They all shut their mouths wisely.

"In this way, you can send the script to me to read, but if you want me to help you choose, I need to account for 30 of the investment. Of course, I only invest and don't interfere in other things."

Several people looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Eric participated in the investment. In the future, this gimmick can be used for publicity. As an investor, you must not say anything if you are an executive producer.

Eric quickly saw through the minds of several people, and immediately said: "I will invest in Jenny's name. Let's talk first. The film has nothing to do with me. You can't use my name for publicity."

After a brief hesitation, everyone quickly agreed. Eric was personally responsible for selecting the script, participating in the investment of the movie, and letting his woman play the heroine, which fully demonstrated his affirmation of the movie. If you screw up again in the end, you can only find the reason in yourself.

After discussing this matter, Eric quickly asked tentatively: "That's right. What was the reason for which scripts were cut off last time? I don't believe it was because I said a few more words? "

Everyone glanced at Jennifer Connelly in unison, and the girl shrank her neck innocently, not understanding what happened.

Amy Pascal said with a smile, "Eric,

You don't have to think about quibbles, although there are some other factors, those projects were cut off because of you. "

Eric spreads his hands: "Okay, what are the other factors you said?"

Amy Pascal said: "Reduce production. I don't know what other film companies are planning, but Columbia has decided to reduce production. Pat, how about you?"

"Ours is the same, but it has not been determined yet. Mr. Ross thinks it is unlikely that a fight will occur."

"I think a fight is very likely."

Eric interrupted: "Sorry, everyone, can you explain?"

Amy saw Eric's expression and said: "Eric, if you pay attention to the recent international news, you should find that the situation in the Middle East is very tense, the federal government may use force against Iraq, and the time should be next. In a year's time, if that happens, the public's attention will definitely be on the war, and it's imperative that the studios cut production."

Eric was taken aback.

the Gulf War!

Such an important time difference was forgotten.

Seeing Eric suddenly in a daze, Amy asked with concern: "Eric, you are all right, in fact, the war may not be able to start. After so many wars, the people's anti-war sentiment is still very high. Bush It is also impossible for the government to force a war in complete disregard of public opinion.”

"I'm fine, sorry, sorry," Eric forced a smile, pulled Jennifer Connelly next to him, and the two walked out of the crowd.

"Eric, what's wrong?"

Eric continued to walk out with the girl and said, "Jenny, we have to go back. I suddenly remembered something very important."

Jennifer Connelly obeyed, and after following Eric to say goodbye to some people, the two quickly left the Hilton Hotel.

Back at the Sharphorn Manor, Eric told the girl to go to bed by herself, then found the newspapers of the recent days and went straight into the study.

It took a couple of hours to read the international news that everything was swept away in detail several times. Sure enough, during this time, there were a lot of news about the Middle East in the New York Times, The Washington Post and other newspapers. Ke can also roughly figure out a context.

The matter is very simple. Iraq and Iran fought the Iran-Iraq war for eight years, and it didn't stop until the second half of 1988. The result of this war was a loss for both parties. At the same time, Iraq was in debt and owed tens of billions of dollars in loans to Middle Eastern countries. Among them, Kuwait alone, Iraq owes $14 billion.

This amount of money is definitely not enough for Iraq. In the end, Iraq arrogantly asked Kuwait to forgive the arrears on the grounds that their war with Iran was to contribute to the entire Arab country.

Of course it was impossible for Kuwait to agree, and eventually the two sides started negotiations, which are now in their final stages.

Of course, this is only what is now known.

According to the memory brought by the previous life, the negotiations finally broke down, and then Iraq invaded Kuwait. Saddam took only eight hours to occupy the whole of Kuwait and declared Kuwait to be the nineteenth province of Iraq. The time should be August 2, 1990, and there is only a little more than a month left. After Kuwait was occupied for half a year, on January 17, 1991, the Gulf War broke out, and the coalition led by the US military took only 42 days. Time to conquer all of Kuwait.

During the Gulf War in his previous life, Eric had already entered junior high school. Although he was no longer as ignorant as a child, he was not as concerned about current affairs as when he was in college. Most of the information about this war was only after school, and occasionally accompanied by adults. Read a few pieces of news, or come from other people's talk, so this part of the memory seems very fragmented.

However, it is enough to remember a few of the main dates. Although this space has more of his own butterfly, he believes that with his current strength, he will definitely not be able to affect the progress of this war. Then, he You can get the best possible benefit from this war as far as you can remember. To be continued. .
