I’m in Hollywood

hey were guided to the pre-prepared lounge, where the celebrity guests who had come to pay their respects were waiting.
As they walked along the VIP channel, Victoria asked softly, “Eric, are the words you just said going to be a little inappropriate?” Eric replied with a smile, “Don't you even trust me?”

Virginia shook her head quickly: “No, I certainly have confidence in you, but anything can go wrong, and if it does, you'll definitely be laughed at.”

Eric comfortingly held the girl's hand: “Don't worry, there's no need to worry.”

Virginia opened her mouth, wanting to say something more, but Eric pulled her into the restroom.

After greeting the many stars who had come to cheer, Michael Eisner, the CEO of Disney, arrived on the scene after about ten minutes.

Michael Eisner: “Eric, I heard what you said on the red carpet just now.” As soon as they met, Michael Eisner said to Eric.

Eric raised his eyebrows: “Mr.
Eisner, do you think my words were inappropriate?”

Michael Eisner shook his head and said, “I just think it's too risky to say that.
I'm curious why you insist on putting this movie on November 1st.
Now I've done as you said, shouldn't you tell me the reason?”

“Let's go over there and talk,” Eric pointed to a set of sofas against the wall not far away.
Michael Eisner nodded, following Eric and walking past.
The people in the lounge were all eager to establish a relationship with Eric and Michael Eisner, but seeing the two of them discussing something, they tactfully did not come over.

“In fact, I had this idea a long time ago, probably before Dark War was released,” Eric said, looking at Michael Eisner.
“I thought, since there are five movies related to me coming out by the end of the year, why not create a beautiful grand slam miracle in this timeframe?”

“Grand slam, miracle?” Michael Eisner repeated the two key words, but he couldn't figure out what the grand slam had to do with the movie, not a ball game.
Eric didn't mince words and quickly said: “Mr.
Eisner, 'The Others' will be released on November 1st.
After our hard work in publicity, it's certain that we can take the championship of the two-week box office.”

Next, Eric continued: “Home Alone 2 will be released on November 17th.
Last year, this movie took an entire 10 weeks of the weekly box office champion, and I have watched the films released during the same period.
Only 'Lethal Weapon 2' and 'Back to the Future 2' can compete with 'Home Alone 2', but the audience of those two films is not enough to compare with the popularity of 'Home Alone 2'.
Even if there will be a certain decrease in the box office of this sequel, it's certain that we can take the championship in five weeks.”

Finally, on Christmas, “Sleepless in Seattle” will take over as the champion of the weekly box office.
I have watched it, and since there is no big movie this Christmas, I expect this situation to continue until February.
Furthermore, if we can effectively publicize this gimmick, then the several movies in this 'relay race' will receive more attention at the same time, which will also play a role in mutually promoting the box office of the different movies.

Michael Eisner heard Eric's plan and was shocked beyond words.
The young people around him clearly wanted to dominate the whole new year slot!

At least 30% of the weekly box office champion movie, plus the box office of any other movies, will increase to 40% or more.
According to the total box office of 600 million US dollars at the end of the year, these movies are expected to garner a total of 240 million US dollars, which is less than the total box office of the first movie “Home Alone” last year.
Nevertheless, these movies still have one to three months of box office harvesting period after the new year; therefore, the total box office is expected to exceed 240 million US dollars.

 On average, five movies are expected to hit 100 million US dollars in box office each.

If that is the case, five of the top ten spots in the box office rankings this year could be taken up by Firefly, which would be a major humiliation for the seven major film companies.
Even though Disney may be the beneficiary of this, Michael Eisner can't help but feel resigned.
Suddenly, an idea popped into his head, and he looked at the eager youth next to him.
Michael Eisner murmured a few words of encouragement and then got up and left.

Eric stayed on the sofa for a while, as he had noticed something peculiar in Michael Eisner's eyes, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
After informing Michael Eisner of his ambitious plan, Eric was filled with anticipation, and so he failed to recognize the significance of Michael Eisner's fleeting gaze.
