Chapter 78 (2/2)
Steve Jobs nodded, after experiencing the Apple incident, he will not give up the absolute leadershi+p of his coain: ”Eric, you are an excellent director, but I think, in the field of electronic technology, I known much more than you”
Originally, Eric still had some hope However, after Steve Jobs answer, Eric could only shake his head: ”Well, I refuse!”
”Well, Eric, I have a project proposal here, maybe you can have a look at it first, in fact ”
”No” Eric waved, interrupting Steve Jobs words: ”Steve, I know you're a reat ideas, I also believe in your talent But I will not put my money into a project that I can not control Like you stubbornly believe in your own ideas, I am also a stubborn person, when our ideas are inconsistent, like a few years ago, a conflict like what happened at Apple could erupt again”
Jobs stopped taking out the papers froht that, by virtue of his eloquence, convincing a 18 years young boy, should be a breeze Unfortunately, Eric didn't listen to hier
”Well, that's a pity” Jobs o to Pixar for a visit? I hope our deal can be done as soon as possible”
Eric thought for a moment, said: ”Tomorrow is not empty, 《Pretty Woman》 will be officially released tomorrow, the day after toirlfriend's birthday”
In Steve Jobs mind, the release of the filirlfriend birthday, how can such a thing delay the deal with Pixar: ”Eric, perhaps, you can directly send a gift to your girlfriend, it seeirlfriend Anyway”
Eric looked at Steve Jobs silently for a moment then said: ”Maybe, I will be busy the day after tomorrow too”
Steve Jobs i Eric's words: ”Well, the day after toirlfriend birthday is still very important!”
When Eric said that the next day was not e to do personally, he was Just anxious like every other director when they release a neork, he was temporarily in no mood to shi+ft his attention to Pixar
Fox has arranged everything, because the size of the critics filer than expected The second day the filun to show some multi-polar development
In addition to the newspapers he was subscribed to, Eric bought , read all the film reviews about 《Pretty Wo thethree were all blunt criticism
Eric calculated in his head, the ratings should be at 75 points In previous life filh
Eric let go of his worry's, now all they need to do is ood word of mouth After breakfast, Eric drove to Fox's headquarters in Century City Because now is not the busiest movie schedule time, Fox easily raised more than 1900 screens for 《Pretty Wo movies of this era
In his previous two filot the box office data only a week later But now, he has reached the level where he can get the box office data of the first day directly from within Fox
Early in the , Eric, Jeffrey, and several executives from Fox waited nervously in the conference room, Even Barry Diller, the president of Fox have coe, and the ere open, the rooar sht staffthe box office data
A little while later, the box office data was finally out, a statistician handed the data to the hands of several executives, where everyone gathered together to see
Carter Hunt was the first to see the data: ”Wow, 436 million, It's another 《Home Alone》”
Eric saw the 436 h of relief cal his heart down
Jeffrey after so said: ”In that case, the box office will be a little higher tomorrow, it may reach the 5 millions mark, and et 15next Tuesday is Valentine's day, there will probably be an explosion at the box office, plus in the Working days the filet us another 10 million”
Carter Hunt retorted sly: ”Jeffrey, you're a bit conservative in your calculations, Valentine's day will definitely exceed the weekend's box office, I think the first week at the box office exceeding 《Home Alone》 is not a problem”
Eric sees those overly excited people set their goal on 《Home Alone》, but he knows, this is obviously ireat publicity before, the box office will be high for the first week, but it won't last for another week
Thinking of these things, Eric could not help but say: ”The key is that next week's box office decline is sure to be big, now after all is not a holiday schedule So don't corossed more than 20 million for six consecutive weeks”
The people present were all professionals, They certainly know that what Eric is telling is the truth
Barry Diller said: ”Eric, you concentrate on preparing the next movie, if you need any help, Fox will fully support you ”
Eric pretended not to understand that Fox wants to intervene in his next movie, He siven to Fox to arrange”
Barry Diller did notto be stupid, he smiled and said: ”Haha, Fox will be very happy to pay for the party Next week, maybe at The Beverly Hilton Hotel”
