Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!

When Eric and Elizabeth came to Fox outside the Headquarters Park in Century City, well-informed media reporters had closed the gates. It is estimated that only a small number of people could be invited to participate in the press conference. Eric guessed that Firefly Burbank Headquarters The situation at Bian is also estimated to be similar. ←,

With the assistance of security personnel, Eric ’s car was proud to drive through the crowd and enter the park. After getting off the car, Eric saw Murdoch and Michael Lynn greeted them with a few people.

Elizabeth drilled from the other side of car and saw that several people, including her father, had a little ambiguous in their eyes, flushed, and greeted everyone, and hurriedly left in the name of work. Eric looked as usual and greeted with Murdoch and others, and then asked casually: "Michael, Rupert, did you find out who leaked this thing?"

Murdoch and Michael Lynn glanced at each other, and finally Michael Lynn said: "Eric, maybe Miss Barrymore inadvertently revealed it."

Eric secretly scolded the dead girl. I did n’t know how to hide the fox tail when doing this kind of thing. However, in just one day, the Firefly stock withdrawal was brought to all mainstream newspaper and TV Station. I wanted to hide. The shape is simply impossible. Presumably Murdoch and Michael Lynn also know that this matter is definitely not small girl's "inadvertently" leaked, the meaning of premeditation is too obvious, Michael said so, but only to leave some room for everyone.

"Yesterday small girl complained to me, saying that I was cheated. I didn't expect to toss this kind of thing today. I will definitely teach her about it later," Eric walked into the office building with everyone and said casually : "Now that things have happened, let's discuss how to deal with them now."

Michael Lynn does n’t know what the first sentence of Eric means. He thought he just said it casually, but there was a hint of different color in the eyes of Murdoch.

Eric just caught a glimpse of the expression changes of Murdoch. Since the other party noticed the hint he had just made, it is estimated that he will soon understand the ins and outs of the matter. As for what the old fox will feel later, this is not what Eric cares about.

There are still more than twenty minutes before the conference. The party did not go directly to the conference hall, but came to a conference room first. Discuss some issues in the upcoming conference.

Although the divestment plan has the greatest impact on Fox TV Network, it is likely to cause the News Corp stock price to continue to slump for a long time in the future, but it also has an impact on the layout of the next stage of Firefly Pictures. The most intuitive performance is the News Corp stock price While falling, most of the companies involved in the TV business in the New York stock exchange have increased their share prices to varying degrees.

Since the news of the withdrawal has been leaked in advance. It is useless to deny it, no matter whether others believe it or not, Firefly needs a reasonable excuse to temporarily pervert the media in order to minimize the uncertainties that may be brought by the TV Network acquisition in the early stage of preparation.

After discussing the joint speeches of the two parties at the next press conference, Murdoch consciously left the meeting room with Fox people, giving Eric and Michael Lynn the opportunity to communicate with each other individually.

After the outsider left, Michael Lynn asked: "Eric, how do we deal with it, now how many Major TV Network have been vigilant?"

Eric had already made plans on the way to Century City, and called to get some information. Tao: "I just asked, Viacom's negotiation to acquire Blockbuster has reached the final moment. If we are willing, we can completely intervene at this time."

"You mean, we use the guise of expanding into the video rental business?"

Eric said: "This move is absolutely very useful, and the reason for selling the shares of Fox TV Network in order to expand to the video tape business is justified."

1993 was the last prosperous period of the video tape industry and the most profitable period. Except for Eric, who can see the future, no one would believe that in the following few years. The video tape rental and sales industry will have a cliff-like landslide because of the rise of DVD and the emergence of online rental business.

At this time, the size of the video tape industry has even exceeded the total amount of movies Box Office, and because FCC (Federal Communications Commission) 's strict anti-monopoly restrictions on the television industry have been gradually relaxed in recent years, most people are still not aware of it. By the time the United States TV industry entered another period of large-scale mergers and integrations. Firefly throws out the excuse to expand the video tape rental business, even if it can't take credit from everyone, it is very reasonable.

At the subsequent press conference, when Murdoch announced to dozens of reporters present that Firefly and Fox TV Network would continue to maintain a series of cooperation plans, Eric also publicized Firefly Pictures's plan to expand the video tape rental market. And it is very clear that the acquisition of Firefly Pictures is aimed at Blockbuster that Viacom will soon receive.

As for the future. Firefly Pictures will definitely be "lost" in the process of competing with Viacom, so it is not a lie to Eric. In order to play a full set, Firefly also specially sent a Vice Chairman to start contacting Blockbuster senior.

The Blockbuster company that has more than 3,000 video rental stores in entire US during this period of Viacom has already set a high price of 8billion USD. The sudden intervention of Firefly Pictures suddenly made the negotiation between Viacom and Blockbuster apparently deadlocked, although the management of Blockbuster Through brief contact with Firefly Pictures, the layer also realized that Firefly did not really intend to acquire Blockbuster, but in order to be able to get a higher price from Viacom, Blockbuster also does not mind being fooled with Firefly Pictures.

The original good situation came to an abrupt halt. The anxious Summer Redstone published an open letter on 《Los Angeles Times》, screaming that Eric was unruly. However, the acquisition of Blockbuster is an important part of Viacom's acquisition of Paramount. If the acquisition of Blockbuster fails, Viacom will lose the bargaining chip for large-scale debt financing, and the plan to acquire Paramount will also be drained. In desperation, Redstone has to increase again. Quotation.

Eric is deaf to the provocation of Redstone and still follows his work and life rhythm step by step.

After the press conference, the rapid decline of News Corp ’s stock price stopped, but because of market concerns about Fox TV Network and Firefly Pictures 'separation', the stock price did not return to its previous price.

Probably Murdoch soon understood the reason for the matter. A few days later, 20th Century Fox successfully completed the acquisition of TG's, and the quotation was raised from the original 120 million USD to 140 million USD. Eric can guess the thoughts of Murdoch and make such a big deal. Although the old fox was conscious of the loss, he was absolutely reluctant to increase the price, but he reluctantly gave 20 million USD compensation in order not to let a little fox make any more at sixes and sevens things.

After the TG is included in the package, in order to boost investor confidence. Fox TV Network began to increase the publicity of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", and also vigorously promoted the fact that Eric personally served as Producer.

The time came to mid-August, and a sudden incident disrupted the lives of many ordinary people. On August 18, a Los Angeles dentist formally filed a lawsuit in the federal court, suing Michael Jackson against him under 13 The son's indecent assault and the Jackson prostitution case that shocked the world broke out.

In the face of the lawsuit, Michael Jackson, who is currently on tour of "Dangerous" global, had to interrupt the concert and return to United States to respond. Eric knows that the global tour of "Dangerous" represents the pinnacle of Michael Jackson's career. But it also became the final pinnacle of Michael Jackson.

After Michael Jackson returned to United States, hundreds of reporters quickly sealed the Jackson house, and a worldwide public opinion spree broke out. As for the feeling of the object being cared, who cares? .

There is too much discussion on this matter in later generations. Although Eric knows that Michael Jackson is innocent, at this time, Eric can only keep a cold eye, he has no intersection with Michael Jackson, and. Eric also knows that he can't do anything at this time. Not to mention that the dentist and the media who slammed Michael Jackson on one side, just imagine that even the elder sister and elder sister stood up and vilified the younger brother as a pedophile. How can Jackson prove himself innocent?

Maybe it was affected by this incident. Or maybe the daily life is too busy, Eric's recent emotions are somehow irritable and depressed. Many people around him have found this. Jeffrey also brought a psychologist to the office of Eric, but was directly rejected by Eric .

In the following days, there were suddenly more people around Eric. Originally already in Canada shoots's new season "X-Files" Famke Janssen deliberately rushed back to Los Angeles, lived with Eric for several days, followed by Jennifer Connelly, as far as Morocco shoots "The Mummy" Nicole also began to call back frequently, consciously Penélope In front of Eric, it became more supple, and everyone around seemed to be careful. The small girl, which had been in trouble because of the leakage of the stock withdrawal plan, even lived directly at Cliff Peak Manor. He also shouted Tina Fey and Claudia Schiffer together and secretly asked Eric if he wanted to taste the twins. Joanna and Virginia have more than once hoped that Eric can go to New York for a period of time and accompany two little guys.

Eric also knows why people like Jeffrey and the women around them look like enemies. Hollywood has a high proportion of celebrities with mental illnesses, and many people choose to relieve the pressure in their hearts. And those extreme ways usually cause great harm to my body and mind. Eric is the true backbone of Firefly. If something goes wrong, Firefly will soon become a big ship out of control. Under the current situation, no one would want to see this happen.

"I plan to live in New York for a while," Eric said at the first week's high-level regular meeting.

The Firefly executives in the meeting room heard this sentence without any surprise. Instead, they were relieved and nodded in agreement.

Seeing no objections, Eric began to discuss the arrangements after his departure. The summer period has passed, and the stock withdrawal from Fox TV Network has also settled. The most important thing for Firefly Pictures right now is the early layout of the acquisition of ABC TV Network, mainly including the formation of acquisitions The team coordinated financing channels and absorbed ABC TV Network shares to obtain preliminary discourse rights. Since Michael Lynn has decided to leave next year, Eric has no scrutiny and will hand over this matter to Katzenberg.

In terms of movies, most of the projects are proceeding in an orderly manner, even if there will be any situation during the time when Eric is away, it ’s enough to come back and make corrections. The script, starring and Director and production team of the latest film 《Charlie's Angels》 have been determined, and the remaining trivia does not require Eric to intervene too much.
