Chapter 714: split into two
"Eric, I think if you insist, it is not a big problem for Fireflies to get a 70% stake in ae TV. The Hearst Group has no initiative in this matter," said the lunch after the meeting. Senberg has no regrets about Eric. ≤ ≤ small ≤ said,
Eric held a plate with Kasenberg and picked food at the buffet table. He turned his head and looked at William Hurst, who was talking to Tom Murphy, who was not far away. Lietime TV station has developed, and it will definitely require a large investment in the early stage. The addition of Hearst Group can not only share the investment risk, but also support for the media media channels all over the world. Moreover, we have obtained absolute control rights. The Hearst Group will not have any initiative, is it?"
Eric’s words were somewhat meaningless, but Kasenberg immediately understood it, and the thief grinned and smiled, revealing a row of big fangs. When lietime TV was developed, as a major shareholder of Absolute Holdings, Firefly has countless ways to dilute the shares in the Hearst Group.
The two picked up the food and found a table to sit down. Kasenberg said: "I didn't attend the children's birthday a few days ago, let Peter give me a gift. Have you received it?"
"Of course, they like it very much," Eric nodded and said again: "Where, is Easter going back to Los Angeles?"
"Marilyn, they all came to New York. I have been with my parents this year. I just don't have to run around," Kasenberg replied. He got married very early. His wife named Marilyn Siegel had a pair. Dragon and Phoenix fetus.
Simply talking a few words of home, the two people's topics are involuntarily turning to work again.
During this time, the group's senior staff focused on discussing the development of the lietime TV station, but some ignored the production of specific programs.
At the morning meeting, the final plan was finalized after consultation with the Hearst Group. At this time, Kasenberger began to care about the host of the "National Supermodel Contest", which was discussed from Oscar. It has been unresolved. Eric finally had some wandering between Cindy Crawford and Linda Ivangolinsta. The 'original host' of Tara Banks was excluded because of his age. .
"Eric is now less than half a year from the fall of September. The reality show needs a one-time production, we don't have much time to waste, Linda Ivangolinsta and Cindy Crow Hey, which of the two people chose, do you think about it?"
Eric hesitated. Dao: "I have been thinking about this issue all the time. Both of them are very good, so Jeffery, what do you think is divided into two?"
Kasenberger frowned slightly: "Eric, you mean letting them take turns to be the host. This is not a good idea. The host exchanges for it, and it is easy to distract the audience."
"No, I mean. Since we now have $100 million in project funding, it's better to open two reality shows at the same time and let them be the moderators."
Kasenberg has come to the interest: "Eric, do you have any good ideas?"
"I have been upset about this lately, but I don't think too much about it."
Kasenberg showed a confused expression and didn't quite understand what Eric meant.
“I mean,” Eric continued. “This idea is also related to last year’s Vimy big show. During the project preparation period, designers have come up with dozens of angel designs every week. But there were only forty sets that were finalized. The elimination was very intense. Some of the designers' plans and even one set were not used. I recently thought that since we can hold the model contest, why can't we? Create a reality show about the fashion design competition. However, I don’t know anything about fashion design, I don’t know if I should implement this plan."
What Eric is saying now is the "Tianqiao Pride" that is the same as the "American Supermodel Contest". These two programs can be said to be dead, almost launched in the same period. The ratings are no different, and even as the host of the two shows, Tara Banks and Heidi Klum also won the top two positions in Forbes' highest-paid TV actress rankings.
But unfortunately, Eric's past life was not interested in fashion design. In order to see the long legs, he had a few episodes of "The National Supermodel Contest", but "The Bridge of the Sky" has never been seen.
Compared to Eric's hesitation, Kasenberg is very optimistic. "Eric, many times, a successful project started with a thought. Walt Disney also happened to see his daughter playing. The idea of Disneyland, he certainly did not know how to build a Disneyland, but now Disneyland has spread all over the world. Moreover, I think your idea is better than the national supermodel contest, the United States has countless People are very interested in design. Those who are slightly well-known celebrities like to launch their own personal brands, but most of the unnamed ordinary designers are hard to come by. If we can provide such a fashion design reality show platform, not only Can attract outstanding civilian designers to participate, and those who have their own design dreams in their hearts will also like to see such a program very much. As for fashion design issues, professional matters should be given to professional people. The Hearst Group has so many world-class fashion magazines that let him They just pulled in an editor and they were able to serve as an art consultant for this reality show, as well as Cindy and Linda, who have been supermodels for so many years. They both definitely have more taste for fashion than most ordinary designers. , enough to be the host of the reality show."
"Well, the two of them have recently come to New York. I am taking a break from Easter these days. I will consider it again and talk to them by the way." Eric was persuaded by Kasenberg, he The reason why hesitating, the most important thing is to be more secure. After all, the reform of the lietime TV station has suffered the failure of the original program, which will have a great impact on the next plan of the TV station.
Now think about it, start the production and see how it works. If the quality of the program does not meet your own psychological expectations, you can directly refrigerate the project. The big deal is the loss of millions of dollars.
Western Easter On the first Sunday after the spring equinox, students have a week of spring break during this period, but it is not a national-level legal holiday.
But after all, it is the weekend. Eric returned to Long Island East Hampton early and planned to spend time with women and children. This year's Easter is much later than in previous years. Most of the time Easter is in March, but this year is April 16.
Simultaneously. DreamWorks responsible for making MGM's "Resident Evil" was officially released in 2,500 theaters a week before Easter.
"Resident Evil" cost $30 million, which is considered a medium cost.
Eric does not use the movie version in memory, but the story based on the main line of the game version. Compared with Mira's live version, Eric prefers Capo's two 3D animated movies based on the game story. . Especially in the "Resident Evil? Curse" in the play of King Sister and the President of Eastern Slavic, how can a handsome character, although the plot can not start from "Resident Evil? Curse", but just change the villain, the script With Ada Wang playing, this play can still join the film. Therefore, during the scriptwriting period, Eric deliberately drew some relevant sub-shot scripts to the screenwriter to try to figure out. During the filming, he also specially invited Hong Kong Island martial arts. The director is responsible for the play.
no doubt. The effect is very good.
After the film was released, the audience was most relished. In addition to the special effects drama of the Grandpa tyrant, it was the close combat of Ai Dawang and the villain played by Hu Kaili. Hu Kaili also became famous and became a fan of the movie. The kung fu actress who relished.
Although the film media evaluation is generally not high, but with a smooth plot, perfect settings and enough plot highlights, the film won a $00 million box office in the first week, the start is very good. The industry's estimated film North American box office will therefore reach about 60 million US dollars, basically able to recover production costs, and, Eric knows. The important market of Resident Evil is not in North America, but overseas. In the past, the Resident Evil series, no North American box office broke through 100 million US dollars, but it became the first global total box office to break through $1 billion. Adapted to the series of movies.
Although there is no shortage of media people to ridicule this film is the worst movie at the box office after Eric entered Hollywood, but the box office of the first weekend of the film has just been released. MGM and DreamWorks executives have called Eric, hoping to immediately start the sequel's production plan.
In the villa of East Hampton House, Eric hangs a call from MGM ceo Frank Makasso and gets up and walks out.
Today is April 15th, Saturday.
Yesterday's "Resident Evil" second week of the first day of the box office, compared to the same period of the first week, the box office only 30% decline, the film's total box office has been re-adjusted to a height of 70 million US dollars, so Frank Makasso can not wait to hit again When I came over and talked to Eric, I discussed the issue of the sequel. Eric naturally had no problem.
In April, the temperature in New York has just warmed up. Today is a good weather with beautiful sunshine, sunny weather and moderate temperature.
On the lawn in the backyard of the villa, Joanna and Virginia are taking the children to sit at a table and depicting Easter eggs.
Eric walked out of the villa, bypassed the swimming pool and went to the lawn. He picked up Emma and ran to show him the small egg in his hand. He came to the table and looked at himself and just made a phone call. Eva, who had come out again, Pakula, smiled and said: "How come you?"
Eva dissatisfiedly picked up a brush and poked it on Eric: "Sister abandons me, do you also dislike me?"
"I dare to dislike you," Eric laughed and ducked, placing Emma in a small chair. The little guy immediately grabbed the brush on the table and immediately forgot Eric's presence.
Eric looked around, and Virginia was holding Kevin’s little hand and drawing a pattern on an egg. A pair of music was in it, and I saw Eric coming over. The egg pointed at Eric and showed off how good my son was. And in the Hawaiian sitting on Joanna's lap, holding a colored pen, the little eyes are full of boredom.
Eric went over and kissed the baby son's face. He pulled the chair down and reached for Hawaii in the arms of Joanna. "Come, baby, isn't the mother painting very bad, let Dad teach you?" ""
Joanna watched Eric hold her daughter, smiled and handed over the eggs and brushes in her hand, saying: "Summer and summer are not interested in these, maybe I am painting too bad, huh, huh."
"Well, then let's make a face first," Eric, like Virginia, took the small hand of Hawaii.
Hawaii was struggling in Eric's arms, feeling that his father had some rough hands holding his little hand and reluctantly relaxed and sighed.
Hey, why should I draw these boring things on boiled eggs, it’s stupid.
The little girl complained in her heart. She looked up and looked at the other boy sitting in the arms of Vicky Auntie. She licked her mouth and licked it. She could even put the paint on her face and stupid.
The eyes floated to his mother's side. Joanna held her chin with one hand and looked at them with a warm smile on her lips.
The little girl sighed again in her heart.
Ugh.
However, looking at my mother's look to Dad to teach her paintings that look happy, I am barely pretending to be as clumsy as Kevin.
However, it is hard to be.
Hey, stupid father, holding the little hand of others can still draw, really.
The little girl spit in her heart and eventually couldn’t help it. “Dad, why are we painting these?”
“To celebrate Easter,” Eric explained.
"So why is there Easter?"
"Because people say that **** will be resurrected on this day, call it Easter."
"Who is Jesus?"
"God's son, oh, don't ask me who God is, I don't know."
"The day when **** was resurrected, why should we celebrate it?"
"Because **** is the belief of many people."
"What is faith?"
"Faith is something that one needs to insist on in one's heart."
"What do you insist on?"
"Keep what you think is right."
"Dad, what is your belief?"
"Oh, baby, you asked me to live, but can you ask your mother?"
"Mama Mom, what is your faith?"
"Jesus."
"..."
The little girl licked her eyes as beautiful as her mother, and combed the information in her mind and found a circle.
So she realized that Mom and Dad were perfunctory themselves.
Hey, these boring adults, really. (To be continued.)
