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

Unconsciously for more than an hour, the door of the study room was gently knocked, and the Ewa Pacula probe came in.

"Eric, Vicky let me ask you, do you want to leave guests to eat at noon?"

Eric heard the name of Virginia, just knows, she instructed Aiwa to come to catch people, looked at her watch, near eleven o'clock, since Virginia did not want the two girls to stay for dinner, he was not good to stay, for Aiwa Dao: "No, things are over, Cindy and Linda just happened to be able to rush back to New York."

"Oh, then I told Vicky that way," Aiwa blinked narrowly, retracted her head, and closed the door gently.

"In this case, you go back first, I will take the time to invite you to dinner," Eric stood up and said when Aiwa left.

Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista, of course, understand what is happening. They change places easily. They feel that they will certainly do the same, but they are not too surprised. Of course, they are unhappy.

After saying goodbye to Eric, Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista each got on their own cars and left Linhai Manor.

After a few minutes on the quiet path, came to Eath Hampton City Center, Linda Evangelista saw Cindy Crawford parked the car in front of a restaurant, and then stopped the car.

The two women walked into the restaurant with their bags. Near lunchtime, the living room was already full of guests. Their temperament and appearance were very conspicuous, and they immediately attracted attention. Most of the guests just looked at it with restraint. After a few glances, some people said hello, and the two casually dressed girls bravely came together, one of them said: "Linda, Cindy, can you sign us?"

"Of course." The attention-grabbing feeling made Cindy Crawford feel better, nodded happily, took the paper and pen in the girl's hand and signed it quickly, then handed it to the next Linda Evangelista.

I signed the name, but the two girls kept talking. They said, "I didn't expect you to live here. Jill also said that it is not necessary to meet any celebrities, Oh, we are here to travel, The white sand beach of Eath Hampton is really beautiful, but unfortunately it is a bit cold now, it is not suitable for swimming in the water. "

Linda Evangelista heard the girl ’s first sentence, paused with the hand holding the pen, and quickly finished writing the last few strokes, returning the pen to the two girls. But there is not much interest in continuing to communicate with the two small fans in front.

Simply dealt with a few words, the two women found a place under the guidance of the waiter and sat down. Cindy Crawford took the menu from the waiter and looked at the recipe that was more expensive than Manhattan's top restaurant. He pouted, but vented some of the most expensive dishes.

Waiting for the waitress to leave, Cindy Crawford complained: "What is the reason we can just rush back to New York? Is n’t it clear that he needs to drive a car for two hours from Eath Hampton to Manhattan. We must starve to death . "

Listening to Cindy Crawford mixed with envy and unwillingness, Linda Evangelista is not so depressed. Take out the documents that Eric gave to them from the shoulder bag around them, leisurely open them, and answer at random: "Why didn't you dare to tell him just now, then he must be embarrassed to drive us away."

"I'm too lazy to care," Cindy Crawford snorted softly, and added a phrase diligently: "It's just because I had a baby. I really think I'm the hostess."

Linda Evangelista did n’t raise his head, turned the document one page, and said to himself: "Having a plan in half a month, preparing in May, and leaving three months to make it. Also for autumn fashion. Week out of time, followed by Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, I am really worried that I will be crazy. "

Cindy Crawford waited a while for lunch to come up, and then took out the documents in the bag, saying: "This is no one to force you, if you say that you do n’t want to do it, those little bitch will definitely cry and cry Pounce, as long as you do n’t regret it in the future, look at the actions of Naomi Campbell during this time, you just knows how regret she now refused Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show last year. "

Linda Evangelista remembered the Naomi Campbell support relationship in this period of time and wanted to squeeze out the Tyra Banks endorsement Victoria’s Secret. She shook her head and disdainfully said: "I think she was completely wrong. Victoria’s Secret Angel was created by Williams. The brand that came out, he is also a major shareholder of Limited, without his permission, no one will replace the Victoria’s Secret spokesperson without permission. "

"Do you think she does not understand, but she has no chance to contact Williams at all, not to mention, it is not necessarily useful to contact. And she is too greedy, Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show has six themes, but only five spokespersons , If it is me, I will strive to get the opportunity to open a theme, so that I can maintain my position in the circle. "

Linda Evangelista is envious of Cindy Crawford ’s smarter mind than himself, and he said: "You think so clearly, why do n’t you remind her?"

"Remind her, what can I get, friendship? Ha," Cindy Crawford smiled disdainfully, glanced in the direction of the back kitchen, and turned his attention to the file in his hand.

Linda Evangelista turned a few pages of the document and suddenly looked up: "Cindy, I have a good idea, how do you listen."

“Oh, let ’s say, if it ’s good, I ’ll use it without hesitation,” Cindy Crawford bowed his head and thought that he could invite those guests in the future, and replied casually, she thought, with the IQ of Linda Evangelista, It is unlikely that a good idea will come up.

Linda Evangelista did n’t care about Cindy Crawford ’s inattentiveness, and said with great interest: “Look, our program must be broadcast at the same time. I need professional model in my program. Your program must be inseparable from the designer. Why do n’t we do it? It ’s definitely a gimmick in the first episode. ”

"Wow, good idea," Cindy Crawford praised, but then shook his head: "I do n’t want to cross with you, in case your program ratings are not good, what should I do."

Linda Evangelista was dissatisfied and said: "Hey, I'm talking about serious things, and why can't you drag me down?"

Cindy Crawford raised his chin and said, "Because this is impossible."

"You are really self-righteous."

"You are wrong. This is self-confidence."

"consider as finished, I'm not fighting with you," Linda Evangelista took the initiative to stop the fire, thought about it, and couldn't help but ask: "You think, if 10% is divided. How much can we get?"

"Last year, the production cost of Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show happened to be 20 million USD, I do n’t expect too much, as long as the profit of this program is not less than one tenth of Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show."

Linda Evangelista recalled the profit data of Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show and said: "Then you only have 3 million USD in your hands. You have been busy for five months, really few."

Cindy Crawford smiled and did not explain what it meant to Linda Evangelista.

The media is always happy to brag about how much money these top supermodels can earn each year, but in fact, the difference between media data and real data is simply very different.

Like herself. Some media hyped her income last year to 25 million USD, but in fact, this account is not so calculated.

Last year, she generally earned 25 million USD is not false, but this data is just like the business income of a company, revenue and profit are completely different. Among these 25 million USD, 10 million USD is the endorsement fee of Victoria’s Secret, and 15 million USD is mainly due to the influence brought by Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Received several new advertising endorsement contracts, these ad endorsements only require her to attend some events on time. Most of them are able to get money by taking a few sets of advertisements. Therefore, the asking price is far inferior to Victoria’s Secret, but the average life of the contracts is also about three years. With these contracts in hand, she will not be able to take over the next few years. More endorsements.

Count it. The contract of Victoria’s Secret is five years, with an average of 2 million USD per year, and the remaining contract years are counted as three years on average, 5 million USD per year, added together. Her annual income is 7million USD.

But it ’s not over yet. At her income level, she needs to pay 35% of personal income tax, Brokerage Firm still needs to draw a 10% share, and finally it falls into the hands, only 3850,000 USD is left. Annual income.

Furthermore, the professional model world is very fast. Even her supermodel model, with the increase of age and the rise of later generations, income will definitely decline gradually. Therefore, Cindy Crawford cares more about this job than Linda Evangelista, which is less sensitive to money. She still remembers clearly that Eric once said that this Reality TV Show can continue to produce dozens of seasons as long as the ratings are good.

For dozens of seasons, Cindy Crawford still dare not expect it, but as long as she can continue to produce for ten or eight years, she can also save a generous family before she is forty and retired decently.

Thinking about the future, Cindy Crawford once again inexplicably came up with dozens of acres of luxury manor on the beach of Eath Hampton, and the small figures that they secretly saw in the morning. Recalling the net worth of 46500 million USD, the guy released by Forbes magazine some time ago, even if she has maintained the current annual income level of more than 3 million USD, after working for 100 years, it has not reached 1% of his personal assets. Simultaneously, Cindy Crawford involuntarily produced a feeling of powerlessness looking at the stars, whispered in a low voice: "Alas, it is better to have a baby."

The Linda Evangelista sitting opposite her heard this sound and suddenly looked up: "Cindy, what do you say?"

Cindy Crawford has a puzzled expression: "Did I say it?"

Linda Evangelista nodded decisively: "You said it, and this is the second time."

Cindy Crawford flashed a brief panic in his eyes, quickly regained his composure, lowered his head and continued to turn over the documents in his hand, and asked lazily, "What did I say?"

"You know it yourself."

"Oh, I forgot."

Linda Evangelista threatened: "Be careful I tell him your thoughts Oh."

Cindy Crawford does n’t matter: “Go, who knows whether it ’s yours or mys.”

Linda Evangelista's eyes widened, his face stunned, and he subconsciously raised his voice and said: "My ... thoughts, it's too shameless, how can you bite back!"

Cindy Crawford pouted around, saying, "Shut up, do you want these people to watch our jokes?"

Linda Evangelista noticed that some customers were looking at them, and lowered their voice, saying: "In short, I just heard it."

"Okay, whatever you want," Cindy Crawford shrugged indifferently. She really didn't worry about it. This kind of thought was like a demon that could be infected, and she was sure that Linda Evangelista must be 'infected', otherwise she would It won't be entangled in the small details just now, it seems to have to prove something.

......

Women's spending power far exceeds men's, which is almost everyone's consensus. Therefore, lifetimeTV Station has this potential consumption base, because TV Station's advertising customers will definitely favor female audience groups.

United States's cable TV market has been brewing for more than a decade, and it is at the stage of on the verge of outbreak. This stage of dramatic change in this industry is often the best time for the emergence of monopolistic oligarchs.

Although there was no female TV Station of single hegemony in the original space and time, no one would doubt that the cable TV market has this potential. It is not impossible to create a female TV Station whose size is no less than that of ESPN as long as it can seize the advanced field.

The most fundamental factor in the success of a TV Station is an excellent TV program. Although "America's Next Top Model" and "Project Runway" have been produced, TV Station cannot rely on Reality Show to support ratings. TV series is indispensable. Eric undoubtedly has a very big advantage. During his consideration of the two Reality TV Show, he already thought of a TV series that is very suitable for lifetimeTV Station.

Only, the annual budget of lifetimeTV Station is only 100 million USD for the time being. Although Eric has high expectations for lifetimeTV Station, it is impossible to promote seedlings. Too much initial investment will cause losses, which will not only greatly reduce morale, but may also affect the next development plan.

In the budget of 100 million USD, two Reality Shows have already occupied 40 million. In addition, TV Station not only needs to order a batch of TV programs to fill other broadcasting time, but also needs to reserve enough marketing funds. Therefore, the remaining 60 million USD is simply impossible. Squeeze out a TV series budget.

Of course, as long as the ratings performance of "America's Next Top Model" and "Project Runway" in the autumn file reaches the expectations of Eric, the budget of lifetimeTV Station will definitely increase significantly.

After Easter, Eric temporarily reduced its focus on Firefly Group, and devoted most of its energy to the negotiation of Firefly investment sprint.

On the other side, the cooperation negotiations between Firefly and Hasbro on the toy surroundings are proceeding smoothly. Both parties have a very strong willingness to cooperate. A detailed plan has been drawn up at the end of April. After Katzenberg signed the cooperation agreement on behalf of Firefly Group and Hasbro, Rather than eagerly leaving New York, he relied on the next-stage development plan of lifetimeTV Station to start lobbying several major cable TV operators, hoping to win more subscribers for lifeTV Station before the fall season.
