After Elizabeth closed the door, Murdoch slowly picked up the coffee pot and refilled himself with a cup of coffee, then made a random gesture to Eric.

Eric gently shook his head: "It is not a good habit to drink too much coffee at night."

Murdoch chuckled and smiled: "You young people are nothing. When I am my age, I will have to drink more coffee to keep up."

"There are actually more and healthier ways to maintain sufficient energy."

Murdoch did not continue this topic, and instead said: "Eric, speaking of it, your first part movie was co-operated with Fox. The cooperation between our two parties has been very pleasant, hasn't it?"

"Of course," 17 Again "Box Office can break through 100 million, even I did not think of it myself."

Eric shrugged and replied, suggesting that Murdoch is not very useful for playing emotional cards.

He really did get into Hollywood by the opportunity given by Fox to participate in "17 Again". But he doesn't owe Fox anything. "17 Again" not only brought Box Office profits of tens of millions of USD for Fox, the income from subsequent video tapes and TV broadcasting rights combined, all profits will definitely exceed 100 million USD. However, he only got less than 1 million USD, and speaking of it, Fox is also a stunt. After "17 Again" was downgraded, he didn't even get the Box Office big red envelope. Eric thinks this may be related to the fact that Fox missed "Home Alone". Although Fox himself refused to release "Home Alone", after "Home Alone" was sold, Fox would definitely be angry with him, which is still the same The truth is that when a person commits an unbearable mistake, he always subconsciously angers others and refuses to reflect on himself.

Murdoch just wanted to be close to the Eric suit. He was directly pushed back, even a little embarrassment flashed on the face that was used to the world.

"Eric, I heard that other TV Station have contacted you?"

The three major TV Station representatives have come into contact with Eric on newspaper. Even the famous 《Los Angeles Times》 and 《The New York Times》 have made relevant analysis articles, most of the newspaper are pessimistic about whether Fox TV Station can hold the right to broadcast the next season of 《Friends》.

"Yes. The conditions they offer are very attractive."

Murdoch took a bit of irritability and took a sip of the coffee in front of him. He also realized that the young man in front of him was not easy to deal with. If he continued to chat with the other party incessantly, this little guy would definitely not be too salty. Tear to the end lightly.

Put down the coffee cup, Murdoch decided to go straight to the point: "Eric, do you think this is good or not, Fox TV Station will increase the advertising share for Firefly to 70% in exchange for 《Friends》's first four quarters of the first broadcast right?"

As long as you can get the broadcasting rights of the first five seasons of 《Friends》. Murdoch believes that Fox TV Station will rely on the influence of this popular movie, and after five years of development, it will definitely be able to gain a foothold in North America. After five seasons, Fox will also have the confidence to share with Firefly in 《Friends》 according to the ratings. Re-negotiation on the proportion.

Eric looked up at Murdoch: "Mr. Murdoch, is this the sincerity of Fox?"

"Did this not reflect the sincerity of Fox?" Murdoch asked rhetorically.

Eric immediately shook his head. If it is the usual situation, this share ratio is indeed very sincere.

The TV industry is different from the movie industry because TV Station is not subject to the relevant antitrust laws. You can make your own TV programs and be self-sufficient. Therefore, TV Station is very strong before the independent production of American drama, usually. TV Station all get the broadcasting rights from the producers in a buy-out situation, even if the film and television giants Warner can rely on their strength to enjoy the treatment of advertising share, the maximum share ratio will not exceed 40%, usually only 30% about.

This time, the situation is completely different. For Fox TV Station, who is still in its infancy, the super high ratings brought by 《Friends》 is only a foundation. The most important thing is that 《Friends》 can help Fox TV Station in the development stage to quickly increase popularity. To cultivate audiences.

"Mr. Murdoch. Before 《Friends》, the average number of viewers of Fox TV Station was only a few million. Less than one-tenth of the number of North America fixed TV viewers. Let ’s not say that 《Friends》 can bring more than 20 million to Fox during the playback process. 'S super high ratings, even if this season is over. You can at least increase the average number of viewers of Fox to more than 10 million. Compared to these, the price you just made seems too sincere? "

Murdoch stared closely at Eric and said: "Eric, you should know that the price tag I just opened is almost twice that of other producers."

Eric did not show any cowardice under the gaze of the media tycoon in front of him, but instead smiled gently: "Mr. Murdoch, I believe you must have conducted some investigations, then you should know that the three major TV Station are in order to steal 《Friends》, The outgoing share price is not much lower than yours. And some people have calculated with me, if I put 《Friends》 on several old wireless TV Station broadcasts, the advertising revenue will increase by more than 10%, plus this 10% make up In fact, it is almost the same price as Fox. Compared with Fox, I choose to cooperate with other old wireless TV Station, and the benefits will definitely be more. "

After Eric finished speaking, he lowered his head slightly and picked up the coffee in front of him, not looking at the expression of Murdoch. He believes that the so-called 70% advertising share is just a test of Murdoch.

Feeling the delicate white porcelain in his hand, Eric soon noticed that a light green plant was painted on the ceramic coffee cup, which was quite a bit of ink painting. After seeing these Erics, there was an urge to turn the cup upside down, and I wanted to see if the words "made-in-china" were engraved on the bottom.

However, Eric soon laughed at this thought. This sudden smile made Murdoch feel inexplicable, but the expression on his face also relaxed with the smile of Eric.

"Eric, let's talk about your conditions. What should Fox do to get the first broadcast right of the 《Friends》 sequel?" (To be continued)
