Once home in the evening, Olivia could n’t wait to ask about the result of the negotiation between Eric and Robert · Keren Will. After getting affirmative answer, it was naturally a pleasure to ask.
Tonight, Carolyn did n’t stay anymore. Olivia was the type who went to bed early and got up early, had dinner, watched TV with Eric for a while, and left upstairs to rest after nine o’clock.
Eric was not sleepy as usual, and sent Olivia away, shouting the twins to his side.
Looking at the glass curtain wall, looking at the girls sitting side by side on the sofa, as always, as quiet and quiet as two lotus flowers, Eric couldn't help but think of all these years of getting along.
In the immigration wave after the collapse of Soviet Union, the twins were almost taken to United States like goods, and then bought by the female slave like a girl.
When I first learned about this, Eric always felt a little weird. I even suspected that the twins were Russia spies. The reputation of the KGB swallow is really too loud. For this reason, Eric has secretly sent private detectives back to Russia to investigate two women background.
The detailed reports given by the five detective companies have proved that there is no problem with the identity of the twins. Eric can only be relieved.
In a blink of an eye, six years have passed.
Think now, two girls who had just turned 18 and even spoke bad English in English were brought to North America amidst the turmoil in the country. They could n’t see their future at all. Nestling.
At this time, a magical creature named girl appeared, and a pair of fledglings followed up ignorantly, confirming their identity, and refused to leave again.
Beautiful girls are always pleasing to the eyes, and they happily looked at the twins for a moment, Eric only said: "So, have you been studying recently?"
Over the years, the girl has been constantly letting the two girls learn all kinds of skills, from flying planes to opening safes, and it seems that they really plan to train twins to become heaven and earth. Super female agent who can't.
Maybe it ’s a simple life and a no-mind state of mind. The speed at which the two women learn new skills is also staggering. This is why noon Eric suddenly produced the idea of twins following Robert as students.
Instead of learning indiscriminately, it is better to find a top teacher to teach.
Although I do n’t understand why Eric suddenly asked these questions, Natasha replied: "Skydiving."
Eric couldn't help laughing, and said: "If you parachuted out while flying, what can I do?"
Natasha shook his head solemnly: "No."
"Okay, just kidding," Eric said: "That's it, you also heard at dinner. I'm planning to hire someone to help Firefly create his own security company. That should be a very powerful person. However, he is already sixty-seven years old this year, and it is impossible to work for Firefly for too long, so I want him to teach you that you can just take over his job in the future. "
The twins listened carefully, and when Eric finished, Natasha said, "We will do what the host says."
Eric gestured and gestured, said: "This has a great impact on your future, I think you still think about it first?"
Natasha nodded: "Okay."
So the scene was quiet for a moment.
After a few seconds, Eric waved his hand: "Well, you do n’t have to think about it anymore, it ’s so decided."
Natasha nodded again: "Uh."
"That ’s it. I ’ll take you to see Robert tomorrow. He will love students like you," Eric finished, and looked at his sister next to Natasha: "Eve, go for a rest first. Nata and I have something to talk about. "
This kind of words that even children can't coax suddenly made the two girls blush.
Even so, Eve got up and left obediently.
The patience of Eve disappeared, and Eric said softly to the Natasha with his eyes down in front of him: "Come."
I did n’t expect anything, but this time Natasha stood up and walked over, but instead of sitting down on his lap as expected by Eric, he rarely took the initiative to take his hand and walked upstairs. .
It was just that I thought Natasha would pull myself to the top floor master bedroom, but on the second floor, the girl turned to Eric and came to the door of another room.
This is where the sisters live in the villa.
Some thoughts had just risen in my heart. Natasha opened the door, but just pushed Eric in gently. The girl pulled the door out of the room by herself, without any intention of coming in.
A thought suddenly broke.
In front is a set of suites, outside is a living room with a closed floor-to-ceiling window terrace, and next to it is a bedroom.
The bedroom door is open at this time, Eric walks in and immediately sees Eve standing in front of the bedroom wardrobe.
Eve apparently saw the Eric who walked in for the first time, suddenly like a little beast trapped in a trap, holding a pajama in his hand and standing in front of the cupboard blushing.
Looking at what Eve looked like at this time, Eric had to point behind her and said, "Your sister let me in."
Eve was silent for a moment, and then hummed indifferently, put his pajamas back in the cupboard, walked to the big bed and sat quietly, but he dared not look up again.
Inexplicably, this situation is somewhat familiar.
But something is obviously missing.
So I walked over.
Close the bedroom door and come to the girl.
Take a gentle look at the girl ’s face and look at the charming red face with her eyes closed and her eyelashes quivering. She suddenly understands that there is one red hijab missing, or a whole set of big red wedding dresses.
However, of course it doesn't matter.
Head down and kiss on Eve ’s lips, feeling the girl ’s jerky caterer for a while. It took a while for Eric to gently push the girl down on the bed.
Later discovered.
Compared to Natasha, Eve has the obedience that surprised Eric.
Submissively let Eric unbutton the clothes button, obediently let Eric peel into a little white sheep, obediently let Eric admire the perfect Dong body under the light.
Therefore, it is inevitable that she will be somewhat smug, and even wonder if she will spoil her sister more in the future.
So he didn't even care about the long legs around his waist.
The tragedy happened again.
When the click sound like a fractured joint is accompanied by severe pain, Eric has only time to have a thought, and it is really a sister.
I then felt that it was better to faint slowly.
Then she really fainted.
I'm sick.
Ask for leave.
Not working anymore.
This time the situation is worse than last time. In order to avoid the Hollywood indigenous people who were once again brainstormed seeing the flaw as a joke, they stayed at home for the next few days.
"Iron Man" has been released, and the busyness of this time has resulted, and it can happen to be slightly modified. Although there are too many things in the entire Firefly system that Eric needs to pay attention to, but sometimes, when there are too many things, it means nothing. Do nothing for a few days, and nothing will go wrong.
It ’s just that there is some regret and it ’s better not to stay at home.
The next day I saw that Eric was a bit unnatural even walking, and Olivia was obviously distressed.
Although Eric could not tell her what happened, Olivia made her own judgment naturally. Then, he gently persuaded Eric to restrain Yunyun, like a mother who carefully educates her adolescent son, which is embarrassing to add.
Unable to go out, he invited Robert · Karen Will to visit the manor in person.
After some understanding, Robert was very satisfied with the twin students recommended to him by Eric, and things were confirmed immediately.
Because of a back injury, none of the Iron Man celebrations on Saturday was attended. If it is someone else, it is naturally not appropriate to do so. But as Boss, I don't want to socialize at work. Naturally, no one said anything, would I dare to deduct Boss salary?
However, Katzenberg and other high-level executives still called one after another. Olivia happened to be there, and was used as an excuse by Eric.
Although Eric did not show up at the celebration of "Iron Man", this did not affect the Box Office momentum of the film.
Three days after the Box Office broke 100 million on the first weekend, and after four days of workday release, Box Office in the first week of "Iron Man" finally reached the high of 100 million 357 50,000 USD.
Next, enter the second weekend.
Compared with the same period of the first week and the three days of the second week and the weekend, the Box Office of "Iron Man" fell only 36%, and it closed another 62.11 million USD in three days, and accumulated Box Office 100 million978.76 million USD in ten days, although unfortunately failed to break through the 200 million USD Off, but this Box Office data still makes the whole Hollywood a side-view.
Due to the strong impact of "Iron Man", Paramount's poorly rated "The General's Daughter" Box Office performed abnormally poorly during the screening stage, and only received 15.17 million USD for the first three days of the weekend.
According to the film's word of mouth and opening data, the final North America Box Office of "The General's Daughter" is probably only about 60 million USD. Moreover, as a very local suspense drama, "The General's Daughter" is even more unsatisfactory in overseas markets. Film production costs 95 million USD, global Box Office may only reach a similar level.
The performance of Box Office is not satisfactory, and the revenues in the later period will also shrink significantly. Paramount is destined to suffer huge losses in this project.
However, the doom of Paramount is clearly not over yet.
On May 17, the new week had just arrived, Firefly Group held a press conference and announced a news that shocked many people.
Due to the fact that Blockbuster chain stores under Viacom have concealed data on the rental and sale of video tape DVDs, Firefly Group decided to temporarily suspend the supply of video tape DVD sources to Blockbuster chain stores. Until Blockbuster accepts Firefly Group ’s accounting review and compensates for losses, Firefly Group will consider continuing Cooperation.
In fact, although the film industry system of North America is very perfect, there are very strict regulations in both the theater market and the home entertainment market. But because of the many interests involved, the secret of Box Office and the concealment of sales data have never been cut off.
Therefore, this time, Firefly Group does n’t even need to make any fake accounts. It only needs to let the company ’s accounting department conduct a rigorous audit of the sales data provided by Blockbuster to easily find the loopholes.
Then everything becomes justified.
After Firefly Group issued a statement, Metro Goldwyn Mayer, Fox and Columbia three Film Studios followed up at the same time, and announced the suspension of cooperation with Blockbuster chain stores.
For a time, the entire Hollywood began to turbulent.
Know that under normal circumstances, even if a problem occurs, for the sake of overall consideration, Film Studio will only carry out accountability and claims within a small range. This situation has never happened to block a large video chain DVD store.
Therefore, even a complete outsider can easily understand that the purpose of Firefly Group is definitely not so simple.
At the same time, Viacom naturally reacted immediately.
Redstone personally denounced the four major Film Studio Firefly, Metro Goldwyn Mayer, Fox and Columbia. This is undermining market order and is a malicious monopoly. Viacom will not succumb to the Firefly system, and will take legal measures to protect its own rights and interests.
The Firefly also immediately made a public counterattack on the Yahoo portal against the comments of Redstone.
The Firefly system is not involved in the retail business of video tapes and DVDs of the terminal, and there is no direct interest competition with Blockbuster, so Mr. Redstone ’s allegations of monopoly are completely nonsense. All this is entirely a mistake of Viacom. What the Blockbuster chain store should do is to face its own serious problems, cooperate with the accounting review of the Firefly system and make compensation.
The two sides started to fight in the media, but the Film Studio of the Firefly system did not hesitate at all. Each family's home entertainment distribution department immediately cut off the supply of Blockbuster chain stores.
Then the dispute quickly spread to the stock market.
A lot of news has never been a secret in the industry. The Firefly system suddenly targeted Viacom, and many people immediately understood the reason for it. Considering the strong attitude of Eric Williams at the time of the last gossip incident on the network, the industry generally takes a bearish attitude towards Viacom.
So, although the market value of Blockbuster 3 billion USD is only equivalent to one-twentieth of the market value of the latest Viacom 70 billion USD, but within just one day, the stock price of Viacom fell by 11%, and the market value opened At the time of 7 3.1 billion USD fell to 65 billion USD, which is equivalent to the evaporation of two and a half Blockbuster.
At the same time, the stock price of the movie galleries and Hollywood video equivalent rental and sales chains that followed the Blockbuster in the industry ranks, and the stock prices have almost risen substantially.
Even the next day, the movie gallery company seized the opportunity to publicly announce that it would raise funds for 1billion USD, adding 1,000 chain stores across North America within a year.
Once the layout is completed, the number of chain stores owned by the movie gallery will reach 2,500. Although there is still a large gap in the number of 4,000 chain stores at Blockbuster, the two sides have clearly reached the same scale. level.
Affected by this good news, and the decisive measures taken after the Firefly system issued a statement, the stock price of the movie gallery company rose again by 17% the next day, and the market value reached 4600 million USD, even exceeding the industry ’s valuation of the Blockbuster chain by 50 % More. The stock prices of other competitors in the same industry continued to rise at the same time. Only after the stock price of Viacom plummeted on the first day, the decline still did not stop.
