Eric is chatting with Barbara Brockley, Madonna walked over from a short distance.
"Good evening, Maggie, why did you come here at this time?" Eric and Madonna gave a soft hug and introduced: "This is Barbara Brockley, producer of the 007 series."
"I have dinner with the executives of the Europe branch of the Warner record, so it's a little late," Madonna explained, enthusiastically shaking hands with Barbara Brockley, exchanging a few words, saying: "Eric, our girls, I have to say hello to them first."
"Then we have time to talk again," Eric nodded to Barbara Brockley, made a please gesture, and said: "Let's take you to know them, but you big sister can't Bullying the younger generation. "
Madonna followed Eric as she walked and smiled: "I only have envy. For all these years, I have never sold a new album that can sell 20 million copies. The only thing that broke this sales was a compilation. This I can see how eccentric you guys are and only wrote me a song. "
“It ’s different, I ’m not a music Producer after all. They started from scratch, just because everyone likes their image very much, so they will be more popular now. But your image has been finalized, I have no ability to put it Your Madonna becomes another Madonna. What's more, your new album should now sell more than 10 million, right? "
It is difficult to write a few popular songs separately to achieve a super superstar. The songs that Eric took out during the first Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show all caused a great impact in the year, but Firefly Records took it as a favor Several newcomers did not stir up any waves.
The new entertainment-oriented pop music style represented by the Spice Girls group just caters to the preferences of the people at this stage, so it will quickly become popular, and Eric only serves as a catalyst in it. Madonna has been debuting for so many years, but it is even more difficult to give the audience a fresh feeling.
Madonna naturally understands the truth. After listening to Eric mentioning her recent album, her mood has become very good.
After the 1990 compilation album, Madonna ’s several albums released in recent years, global sales are only hovering on the data of 6-7 million copies, this sales is already considered high by other second- and third-tier singers. Climbing, but for her, it is already going downhill.
But this time the new album was only released more than three months ago, and sales of global have already exceeded 10 million. Warner records predict that the total sales of global in the future may reach 15 million. The sales volume of 15 million records is enough to bring her career back to its peak.
Although Eric only provided a single in this process, Madonna still felt that the success of this record, Eric, a little man who could not be swallowed, undoubtedly brought her a lot of luck. The sudden rise of the Spice Girls group made her firmly believe this point of view.
In the company of Eric, Madonna greeted each other with the five girls in the hot girl group, and the woman pulled Eric aside.
With a glass of red wine, Madonna whispered Eric in her eyes and asked curiously: "So, now you can talk about it, how do you provoke Dai Fei, do you want to chase her, and the result is self-defeating?" "
Eric must not be able to tell Madonna about the fact that Dai Fei was thrown out of her mansion, just looking at her two arms with obvious muscle lines outside the blue low-cut evening dress, she changed the topic: "I suggest that you should stop doing such crazy fitness in the future. Standing next to you, I am worried that you will suddenly hit me with a violent blow."
Speaking of it, Madonna is not ugly at all. She is well-dressed and even quite pleasing. But, with her two sturdy arms, it suddenly gave the feeling of King Kong Barbie.
"Where am I willing to hit you, little boy," Madonna licked her red lips wantonly, and said, "I want to eat you."
"Okay," Eric reluctantly surrendered his hands. When he was usually with a woman, Eric was usually the active party, but in front of Madonna, he found that he had no strength to parry: "You morning Does n’t it mean I ’m in trouble, what is it? ”
Madonna also knows that it ’s enough to stop, converging his expression, and seriously: "Have you followed the record sales of several major companies in recent times?"
Eric shook his head faithfully, but he was concerned about the operation of Firefly Records, but he was not too careful.
Furthermore, in addition to being responsible for the original sound recording business of the films produced by the group, Firefly Records's singer-led youth popular market has been on the rise in recent years, and Eric has not felt anything wrong.
Madonna did n’t sell it, saying: "Last week Roger Ames saw the record sales data of the Warner record in the most recent period, and it took a whole day of temper. I happened to meet that day. It is said that because of the Internet pirated music Shock, the sales revenue of Warner records in the first half of this year is roughly reduced by 30%, and the 30% performance decline is enough. Roger Ames blamed and resigned. The situation of the other major Record Company is not very good. I think they want to keep themselves You must definitely put the responsibility on the job. The Fireflyer player on your side is getting more and more popular. It is simply the best scapegoat. "
Although Universal is the world ’s largest Record Company after the merger of PolyGram, Warner, Sony, EMI and other traditional record industry giants, no matter which one, have a larger volume Firefly Records is much larger, and the operating conditions of these major record groups also almost represent the overall development trend of this record industry.
30% of record sales have plummeted. Even if we knew the decline trend of the record industry very well, Eric still felt a little shocked to hear this data.
After years of deliberation, the impact of the Internet on the record industry has finally emerged, and it appears so menacing as soon as it appears.
However, in the face of another wave of related lawsuits destined to come, Eric is not too worried.
From the release to the present, in more than two months, the sales volume of the second generation of Fireflyer has just surpassed 5 million, and the sales volume of the previous generation is only more than 10 million units.
No one thinks that these more than 10 million Fireflyer players can bear the **** pan of sales of the entire record industry.
The plunge in physical record sales is ultimately the result of the explosive expansion of the Internet industry in recent years. With just a few taps on the keyboard, you can find any music you want, and it ’s all free, so people are no longer willing to pay a lot for records.
Of course, Eric does not deny that the emergence of MP3 players has also greatly promoted this megatrend of music digitization.
I was thinking to remind the management of Firefly electronics to pay attention to this matter in advance, but Eric said to Madonna easily: "If you want to sue, I think they should first sue PC manufacturers such as IBM, HP, and Dell. Our Fireflyer player is dedicated to promoting genuine digital music, but personal computers produced by IBM manufacturers can download free music resources from the Internet at will. And, if it is sales, globalPC shipments may break this year 100 million is out, compared to the Fireflyer player is still far away. "
Madonna should be regarded as one of the victims of the rise of Internet pirated music. However, her status as a river and lake today is not too important for pure record sales revenue. Various big-name high-end advertising endorsements and touring tours every few years Revenue is her main source of income.
"These words, you said nothing to me," Madonna smiled and said: "Anyway, I have reminded you of Oh, you remember to owe me a favor."
Eric nodded and said, "Well, please have dinner when you have time."
Madonna glanced at Eric again: "How boring to eat, are you free tonight?"
"No," Eric's tone was firm, and he glanced at Madonna's arm with a little timidity: "I'm afraid you hit me."
Madonna is actually only a little man in six meters in height, and her height is 20 centimeters away from Eric. Even if the body exercise is too much, the inherent physical gap between men and women makes it impossible for her to pose any threat to Eric.
Not to mention, when I remembered that Eric arbitrarily pressed her under her and just served him with her mouth, Madonna just knows was definitely a very strong party on the bed.
Fantasy about being ruthlessly packed, Madonna's body was slightly warm, and she heard her Eric teasing, she only rolled her eyes and said: "You guy, I really want to beat you now It's a meal. "
Eric just wanted to say something, Demi disappeared for a while? Moore walked over again and blinked at Eric, said: "Eric, the music started Oh, do n’t forget that you owe me a dance . "
Eric ca n’t remember when they owed it, but it did n’t mean that Demi Moore was too embarrassed on the spot, and was about to agree, Madonna was a little upset Demi Moore suddenly plugged in and said, "Oh, Dee M, how about I dance with you, but I am the best at dancing. "
"Oh, Maggie, you must be kidding," Demi Moore showed no fear to Madonna, her words turned down, and she stared at Eric.
The two women in front are not oil-saving lamp, Eric is a half host after all, do n’t want to see the two women pinch on this occasion, and quickly reached out to Demi Moore, said: "So, let's go to the dance floor , And Maggie, talk again when you ’re free. "
Demi Moore handed the little hand to Eric, glanced at Madonna slightly, then followed Eric to the dance floor with a low eyebrow.
Madonna is actually a bit proud, but she keeps on Eric, and Demi Moore and Eric enter the dance floor with slightly dim lights, but they post it directly.
Feeling the bulging two groups sticking to your chest, Eric feels weird.
From the memory of Eric for original "Ghost", Demi Moore was absolutely flat chest before, but now suddenly becomes D or above, what he did is self-evident.
Eric prefers women to be more natural, but at this time he is still a little curious about what it is like with such a big hand.
Demi? Moore did n’t know whether it was a ghostly messenger who understood Eric ’s thoughts, or he deliberately teased, and he slowly danced to him with a slow song, and suddenly leaned in his ear, saying: "Eric, I make people There is a room upstairs, are you going to check it out? "
Eric smiled. Although he had some thoughts, he was even more afraid of trouble. From the beginning Demi Moore was entangled with Barbara Brockley just knows. The purpose of this woman is very clear. She hopes to become Bond girl of "Bond19".
Because of the lack of the opportunity of "Ghost", Demi Moore has been far less popular in these years. Most of the time, he still can only rely on the identity of Bruce Willis wife in Hollywood, barely regarded as a second-line actress.
In the setting "Bond19", the authentic Bond girl drama is very important. If you participate in the show, the impact will be no less than that of the last "Casino Royale" that impressed the audience. Virtue.
But it is also true. Eric will not rashly hand over this character for the sake of one night, and he ca n’t do the kind of thing that does not recognize the account when he lifts his pants, so he shakes his head and smiles: "Or consider as finished , I am not suitable to leave at this time. "
Demi? Moore refused to give up easily, and his body was tighter, and said softly: "why not, will no one care about these details?"
"It's not necessary," Eric was unimpressed. When the song was over, he took Demi Moore out of the dance floor together and turned away in the woman's disgruntled gaze.
Until party ends, Eric does not leave the Al Bert Hotel.
It ’s almost one o’clock in the morning to return to the villa on Kensington Garden Street. Although I was a little drunk because of some wine, Eric was not too sleepy. I sat down on the living room sofa, turned on the TV lazily, and jumped at random Channel, then said to Meyer: "Mary, can you pour a glass of water for me?"
Meyer nodded and walked towards the kitchen, but she was somewhat inexplicably proud at this time. Her Boss was entangled with various women tonight for a night. In the end, she came back with herself.
Although, well, there seems to be something wrong.
Meyer soon took out a glass of water, bowed slightly in front of Eric, and handed the glass over.
Eric was a little thirsty. He drank the water in the glass at once, and placed the glass next to it. He just noticed that Meyer was still standing in front of him, and he waited to tell the little maid.
The night is quiet, the wine is half strong, and suddenly there is some heartbeat. Eric makes a gesture to Meyer, and whispers: "Come."
