Chapter 647: Change to a New Boss

The evening at the Sharphorn Manor always allows Eric to temporarily break away from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood. Whenever he has time, Eric will sit by the glass curtain wall of the City of Liberty at sunset, sometimes with a book in his hand. Or a document, and then quietly watching the orange-red sunset over the sea slowly sink into the horizon, until the lanterns first come on.

Elizabeth once commented that Eric in this scene is like the evil villain hiding in the corner in the movie.

Chris, who has studied a little psychology, said that Eric was insecure, because he was not sitting on the seaside terrace of the villa with a wider view, but was separated by a thick glass curtain wall, as if the whole world was separated from each other. Outside of himself, he seems to be afraid of being disturbed or hurt.

Of course, Elizabeth's statement was just a joke, but Chris's theory was completely irrelevant, because no one could analyze the psychological activities of a traveler except Eric himself. And only Eric himself knows that this is an unconscious habit, just like everyone has some unique personal habits.

Putting down the planning book in his hand again, Eric raised his head and looked at the sunset that was mostly submerged by the sea. He sorted out tomorrow's affairs again in his mind, and confirmed that there would be no omissions in details.

As the base of Hollywood, Ron Perelman's recent actions have not escaped Firefly's sight, and even Ron Perelman's contact with Universal and other film companies is expected by Firefly.

Marvel is an entertainment company after all, and there are not many companies outside Hollywood that are interested in Marvel. Marvel has now lost the potential for capital operation. With companies such as Firefly already controlling 90% of Marvel’s debt, Wall Street is also the same. If you don't provoke this hot potato rashly, then the only ones that can compete with Firefly are the major Hollywood film companies.

Although it can be seen from Ron Perelman's hurried return to New York that he has not negotiated with any of the companies such as Universal, Warner and Paramount, Eric still does not intend to let this matter happen. Unexpectedly, in case Ron Perelman was forced, he would inevitably not accept the harsh conditions that several other companies might offer. so. Eric intends to hoist a more tender "little cabbage" to attract the attention of several major Hollywood film companies.

Packing up the documents and putting them on the round table beside him, Eric was about to get up to solve the dinner problem when he heard footsteps behind him.

Then, Drew, who was wearing a vest and hot pants, dangled his two little white legs and threw himself into Eric's arms from behind.

Eric smiled and held the girl who was rubbing against him. Asked: "Didn't you say you have to stay on the set of "Night at the Museum" for a few days, why did you come back early?"

The little girl grinned on Eric's lap and said, "I'm afraid that you will leave me and drive number 10880 back to Pandora ahead of schedule.

I'll be back soon. "

Eric reached out and pinched the girl's face, then turned his head to greet the twins who were pulling a large suitcase. This move obviously aroused the dissatisfaction of the girl in her arms. She pulled Eric's shirt and asked coquettishly, "Eric, why are you at home alone?"

Eric turned his head and grabbed the restless little paw: "I was going to spend the night with a girl named Cyrus tonight, but unfortunately you messed up."

"Cyrus?" The girl was stunned, but quickly understood what 'Cyrus ()' meant by Eric's place, grinning and hugging Eric's neck, saying: "Now there is a small Drew, you don't need Cyrus. If Drew is not enough, there are Natasha and... Natasha, hehe. By the way, I brought you a gift."

Watching the girl excitedly ran to open the suitcase and took out a sky-blue tentacle that made a big splash in "Men in Black", Eric shook his head and smiled: "It's so insincere, you won't be coming back When I passed by the Disney store, I bought it temporarily, right?"

"Of course not," the girl approached and forced the sky blue tentacles on Eric's head, retorting, "I bought it at the Disney store in New York on purpose."

Well, at least not at the Disney Store in Malibu.

Eric complained a little in his heart, and watched the girl take out another pink tentacle and put it on the asset's head. Then eagerly came over and asked the twins to take pictures of the two with their cameras.

Patiently allowing the girl to toss, Eric took off the pair of funny tentacles on his head and threw them aside, and asked, "After staying in New York for so long, did you go to Long Island to see Kevin and Xia Xia?"

"Go. I even read Xia Xia bedtime stories for several days."

Eric laughed and said, "It must be another horror novel, right? Don't scare her all the time."

"No," Drew giggled vaguely, instructing the twins to take the luggage into his bedroom, his eyes wandering a few times, and he noticed a few records on the round table. Curiously, he picked up one and asked, "What is this?"

Eric glanced at the record in the girl's hand, pointed to the record player not far away, and said, "The bgm I prepared for the Victoria's Secret Show, try it out, you must like this song."

Drew put the record into the machine, and before he walked to Eric's side, a high-pitched female voice came out after a short prelude.

*oh,!

Just the first sentence, the momentum of the whole song is faintly revealed.

"Wow, I like this song," said the little girl who ran over and squeezed beside Eric. After the whole rhythm of Zhang Yang's rebellious song was played, the girl laughed again: "Eric K, isn't this song written by one of your ex-girlfriends?"

Eric's 'ex-girlfriend' is of course only Aniston. Thinking of the girl he hadn't seen for a long time, Eric couldn't help but feel a little sigh. Before he knew it, several years had passed, and the distance between the two was getting farther and farther. Maybe she will never go back to the past, and Xiao Nizi must be aware of this situation, so she will mention Aniston in front of him without any scruples.

After knocking on the door of Ya's head, Eric said, "I wrote it myself, can't I?"

Xiao Nizi laughed a few times, and wisely did not continue the topic and asked, "What's the name of this song?"

"you guess?"

Little Nizi tilted her head, remembered the two letters repeatedly mentioned in the lyrics, and asked tentatively, ""fu"?"

Eric nodded: "Smart, but unfortunately there is no reward."

Xiao Nizi immediately brought her face close: "No, I want a reward, I want a reward."

Eric kissed the white and tender baby's face. Said: "Okay, just for a while, don't be too greedy."

"Can you give me this record then?"

Eric shook his head and said: "This is just a sample, and I think the singer's explosiveness is not enough. I'll give it to you when a better singer is recorded, but this song is still kept secret for now, don't spread it everywhere. "

"Yeah," the girl nodded and glanced at the remaining records on the round table. Said: "Are these pictures too, I'll listen."

"I haven't had dinner yet. Help me prepare something to eat. I just know how to play, and I'm not at home at all."

"Ha ha……"

...

After "The Lion King," there was a long-lasting euphoria for all the employees at Disney's animation studios headquarters in Burbank, and even more so for "The Lion King" director Roger Ehlers. Although all projects in the animation department were suspended due to the original reorganization strategy, Roger Ehlers, like many others, still came to his office early.

Just finished enjoying a cup of coffee. Roger Ehlers was planning to ask his assistant to find the materials of several hand-drawn animation projects that the department was in the incubation period, and to study which animation to make after reaching an agreement with the headquarters, and saw that none of his employees knocked on the door. Just broke in.

Frowning, Roger Ehlers asked dissatisfiedly, "Jim, what happened to make you so rude?"

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Ehlers, but I think I saw the boss in the parking lot."

"Boss?" Roger Ehlers repeated and stood up abruptly: "You mean Eric Williams?"

Jim nodded. "Yes. There seems to be Mr. Michael Lynn."

Roger Eiles frowned, and quickly felt that this might be Eric trying to bypass Peter Schneider and Roy Disney and negotiate directly with them.

However, in the previous several secret discussions, the entire Disney animation department has reached an agreement on an offensive and defensive alliance. Roger Ehlers is also very clear that only when everyone is in a group can they get more benefits from the parent company, so he quickly asked Jim, "Are Mr. Schneider and Mr. Disney coming today?"

Jim shook his head and said, "I don't know. I just arrived. I came to tell you about it immediately after seeing the boss."

Roger Eiles nodded. But then he said, "Go and see if Peter and Roy are here. If they don't, call them immediately."

After explaining this matter, Roger Eiles hurriedly left the office.

At this time, the entire Disney animation department already knew the news of Eric's arrival in person, and many people stood up from the open work booth and looked towards the entrance. Several middle-level managers in the animation department who heard the news also greeted them.

Peter Schneider and Roy Disney obviously did not come to work. Eric and Michael Lynn walked in with a few entourage and saw Roger Eiles, who was greeted by everyone, and shook hands with each other. Eric asked casually, "What about Peter and Roy?"

"Mr Williams, they're on the way, maybe there's a traffic jam, they'll be there soon."

Eric didn't expose Roger Ehlers' lies, and said: "Then let's go to the conference room first, and call the heads of several other departments. If they are all stuck on the road, call them. "

An hour later, because they were worried that Eric would bypass him and take the opportunity to negotiate directly with the employees, Peter Schneider and Roy Disney, who hurried from home, appeared in the animation department conference room with their heads covered in hot sweat.

Eric, who was sitting leisurely in the main seat, saw that the staff was basically ready, put down the "Los Angeles Times" in his hand, took the prepared materials from Kelly, and said to everyone: "Since everyone It's here, so let's start this meeting."

Roy Disney spoke first: "Mr. Williams, I don't think this meeting is necessary at all, we have already set our own conditions, I think those are what everyone in the animation department should get, if the parent company can't meet them , more than 700 employees of the entire animation department will fight to the end."

"Your conditions, those promotions and salary increases, or the introduction of creditor directors?" Eric glanced at Roy Disney mockingly: "If it is the former, of course it is very reasonable, but if it is the latter , do you know what happens when someone like Ron Perelman is brought into the board of directors?"

Eric's increasingly aggravating tone made all the animation department managers in the conference room unable to help sink, and at the same time produced a bad feeling.

Without waiting for Roy Disney to answer, Eric immediately said: "You must know, because both Revlon and Marvel's lessons are clearly there. Ron Perelman's hostile takeover in the 1980s Revlon immediately dismantled this thriving cosmetic company after getting it. As a result, what this company, which had the potential to catch up with a world-class cosmetic company like Estee Lauder, was ten years ago, what is it still is, and what is it now? How many people can think of Revlon. Let's take a look at Marvel. After being taken over by Ron Perelman, the comic company that used to be far more powerful has completely reduced to a capital operation tool. Two years ago, the seven of Marvel's The main writer was even more dissatisfied with Ron Perelman's mischief and left collectively. Now Marvel is only left with a mess with a debt of 553 million US dollars. However, you want to eat such a person like a termite. The corporate flesh and blood guy welcomes the Firefly board, and I can't think of any other purpose for you other than to satisfy the selfishness of some people."

Eric's tone became more and more angry, and he even raised the coffee cup in his hand unconsciously, almost subconsciously throwing it out, and accidentally caught a glimpse of a terrified person sitting at the end of the conference table closing his eyes and trying to hide. The female staff member who dared to hide immediately put the cup on the table with patience again.

After calming down, Eric opened the information in front of him and said, "In this situation, everyone should get together and leave. Now let's discuss changing a new boss for the animation department."

Although Eric's words just made the directors of the animation department in the conference room feel a little guilty, but when they heard Eric's last sentence, everyone still subconsciously wondered if they heard it wrong.

Including Peter Schneider and Roy Disney, more than a dozen animation department managers glanced at each other and realized that they had not heard it wrong. Eric really said something just now.

However, a single thought popped up again in everyone's mind.

how can that be!
