After nearly ten weeks of intense shooting, Eric finally completed the final shot of Jurassic Paradise on September 7, and assuredly handed over the crew finishing and special effects work to Jerry Bruckheimer and Stan Winston, Eric boarded the plane to Paris.

After a long 22-hour flight, Eric’s Boeing plane landed at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport.

Eric just stepped out of the airport lobby and personally waited for Jeffrey Kasenberg to come up with a few people: "Eric, I am very glad that you can come over, I thought you couldn't catch up."

"So important things, of course I have to try to come," Eric and Kasenberg have embraced.

After a few words, Kasenberger began to introduce Eric to several people around him: "Eric, this is Vincent Rabri, representative of the Paris city government; this is the joint venture company Head Luis Barthol; Patrick Schneider, haha, he doesn't need to introduce it, you saw it at the mid-year meeting, I know that you remember very well..."

Eric shook hands with these people and talked. After a few minutes, a group of people got out of the car.

"Eric, I have prepared a room for you at Disney's theme hotel in Paradise, but you can also choose to live in the city," said the two in the back seat of a business car, Kasenberg said enthusiastically. It is probably because of the opening of another overseas Disneyland, Kasenberg's mood is very good.

This Disneyland is currently called the European Disneyland. Instead of Eric's memory of Disneyland Paris, Eric did not care too much about this when filming Jurassic Paradise. However, during the long journey to Paris, he gradually set aside information about Disneyland Paris from the memory. Of course, Eric is unlikely to know, but he clearly remembers Disney's major themes. Among the paradise, the most successful is Tokyo Disneyland. The most failed is Disneyland Paris.

Therefore, he does not have the good mood of Kasenberg now.

Tokyo Disneyland was opened in 1983. Since the beginning of the year, it has received a lot of welcome. However, because of the agreement between Disney and Japan, the two sides signed a 45-year license agreement. Disney even gave up the cartoon image of Tokyo Disneyland. It only collected 7% of Tokyo Disneyland's turnover as a management fee each year. After the huge success of Tokyo Disneyland, Disney realized that he had made a very loss-making business, but Even with this 7% management fee, it can still bring hundreds of millions of dollars in profits to Disney every year.

Stimulated by the success of Tokyo Disneyland, in 1985, Michael Eisner, who was in charge of Disney, began preparations for the second overseas Disney theme park because of its high profit prospects and tens of thousands of jobs. Through a large number of preferential conditions, the Paris city government finally grabbed the project from dozens of alternative cities, and even built a railway directly to the city of Paris and Disneyland.

Learned the lessons of Tokyo Disneyland. This time, Disney negotiated and took only 49% of the shares of the Disneyland joint venture and the operation control of the park at a small price. At the same time, Disney will collect a little from the park every year for the first five years. The patent fee of 500 million US dollars, after five years, the patent fee rose to 400 million US dollars per year.

From the perspective of these agreements. Anyway, Disney won't lose, but anyone knows. If the new park is not well managed or even losing money, it is estimated that even the most basic patent fees will not be accepted by Disney.

"Jeffrey, these are small things. I live in a Disney theme hotel. In addition, after I get to the place, I will help me prepare a piece of information about the European Disneyland. From the very beginning to the future operation mode, the more The details are better."

Kasenberg didn’t want to nod, he noticed Eric’s expression and realized something different. He was curious: “Eric, is there any problem?”

"I don't know," Eric shook his head honestly. The information about the European Disneyland-related cooperation agreement was still narrated on the plane. Allen was also unclear and did not see more information. In this case, Eric can't know where the problem with Disneyland Paris will be: "You should be curious when I am, if you can, find some information about Tokyo Disneyland."

"No problem," Kasenberger no longer asked. He nodded with a smile: "Yes, after the opening of the city, the Paris city government will hold a reception at night. I think you will come directly from Hawaii and expect to forget the dress. Things, I have already made people ready."

"Thank you, Jeffery," Eric looked at Kasenberg's beaming look and had to play the spirit. After all, history has changed a lot. The new park was originally planned to open in April, but it was delayed until September due to a series of incidents such as the acquisition of Disney by Firefly. This project has been Carsonbo for half a year. The grid is in control, maybe there will be some turnarounds.

Because in Hawaii, I have been in a busy state of affairs, coupled with the continuous flight of more than 20 hours, I came to the old town of Marne in the suburb of Paris, where the European Disneyland is located. Eric has settled directly at the theme hotel. Falling on the big bed and starting the jet lag, I woke up and the sky was completely dark.

After getting out of bed, through the window of the theme hotel, you can see the brightly lit theme park at a glance. Although it will be officially opened tomorrow morning, there are already a large number of tourists gathered near the park.

The doorbell rang a few times, and Eric took his eyes back and opened the door, seeing Allen standing outside the door.

"Eric, you woke up, I finally woke up, Mr. Kasenberg just asked people to come and ask if you woke up."

“Is there anything important?” Eric asked Allen to come in and asked.

Allen shook his head. "No, Mr. Kasenberg is still in the paradise to check the details of the opening next year. It is estimated that he will come back late, Eric, are you going to pass?"

"Forget it, Jeffrey is alone. I used to come and join in the fun," Eric shook his head with a smile. The filming of the movie has consumed most of his energy, and at the same time he has to control the overall situation of the firefly. Eric doesn't want to be in the company's specific operations, so if he is divided into several pieces, he will be too busy: "Yes, what did I do with Jeffrey in the morning?"

Allen nodded. "Mr. Kasenberg has sent people the information in the afternoon. Do you need me to take it now?"

"Come on, by the way, help me prepare a dinner, I will see it in the room." (To be continued)
