Two days on the weekend, Eric and Chris discussed in detail the plan to amplify the development prospects of web portal. On Monday, the investment conference of Nokia and Qualcomm was held in Firefly investment Headquarters. Chris personally rushed to Boston to start layout.
The time is already May 29. The Firefly summer first part blockbuster "Jurassic Park" is scheduled to be released on June 2. Eric only needs to rush back to Los Angeles to participate in the premiere before this, so you can also go to New York Continue to stay for a few days.
May is the month of TV series promotion and ordering in the new year. Countless producers and TV Station converge on New York to promote or purchase TV programs for the new year.
Firefly has three major trumpet episodes "Survivor", "ER" and 《Friends》, so in the process of selecting new dramas, it seems unhurried. TV Department put a lot of energy on the upcoming expansion of lifeTV Station At the beginning of the production of "America's Next Top Model" and "Project Runway", lifetimeTV Station also ordered a good quality female workplace TV series and several TV movies at the May TV show promotion. At the same time, lifetimeTV Station also responded to the TV Station program according to the episode release plan. A new arrangement was made.
The focus of Eric is still on the two Reality Show of "America's Next Top Model" and "Project Runway".
Two Reality Show have been prepared for a month and a half. In April, Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista came up with a detailed production plan with the help of the Survivor team Producer. Throughout May, both of them were busy preparing for the preparation of the program. With the selection of players, all the preliminary work is now nearing completion.
"This is the official competition venue for players. According to the script framework, I will announce the content of the game here at the beginning of each episode. The second half of the show will also show the production results. The designer will sit where you are. In the position, I will admire the models fashion show with the judges on the other side. In addition, there is a lounge in the back, which can provide some footage of the players before the game and during the waiting period ... "
ABC is a simple fashion show in a studio located in New York. But there is no auditorium, only a pocket Catwalk, Catwalk simply placed a few chairs on both sides. Linda Evangelista is standing up to the demo program flow of Eric and others who are sitting under the stage. This is also the last work of Eric during New York. After confirming this matter, he is about to return to Los Angeles.
Linda Evangelista explained for a few minutes, then looked at the crowd under Catwalk and waited for Eric to speak.
Emily Brighton and Anne Sweeney sat around Eric, and some other assistants followed. Cindy Crawford also sits next to Emily. For the demonstration, several invited judges and producers responsible for "Project Runway" sat on the other side of the jury.
Limited will sponsor these two files of Reality Show and obtain a part of advertising placement. Anne Sweeney is aeTV Network Chairman, a brunette around the age of 35, and Anne Sweeney was originally responsible for Disney TV Station. After determining the expansion plan of lifetimeTV Station, Katzenberg transferred Anne Sweeney to this side, specifically responsible for this matter.
Take out the preliminary production plan from the end of April. Eric has been following up on this matter, at this time just doing the final check. To ensure that all details are foolproof, so there is not much problem.
Eric whispered a few words with Anne Sweeney and Emily, looked up at Linda Evangelista, and said: "Linda, is Catwalk under your feet made of wood?"
Linda Evangelista froze, and the leather boots lightly stepped on Catwalk. With a thud, it nodded: "Yeah."
Eric pointed to the screen at the beginning of Catwalk and smiled: "Then you will see me again."
Linda Evangelista was a little puzzled, but obediently walked behind the screen and walked out in a catwalk.
So. There was a series of muffled muffled noises.
Linda Evangelista has not completed a one-way trip. Everyone has discovered this problem. The sound of leather boots hitting wooden Catwalk is similar to the noise. If the audience suddenly hears these sounds during the show, it will definitely be very playful.
Walking to the end of Catwalk, Linda Evangelista was embarrassed to go down again, took a light step to the position just now, and said quietly: "Eric, I did not expect this, we will replace this Catwalk as soon as possible."
Eric nodded and said to Emily and Annie: "I have no problem here, how about you?"
Emily shook her head. She mainly came to visit the advertising placement details of Limited's products. For the production of the program, she was not good at pointing fingers.
Anne Sweeney asked a few questions in a row, until Linda Evangelista almost showed expression, which was difficult to parry, only to see her barely let go of her in the face of Eric.
This senior woman who switched from Fox TV Network to ABC a few years ago is also ambitious at this time. She wants to rely on the lifeTV Station to make some achievements in order to look forward to reaching the height of Hollywood women such as Sherry Lansing and Amy Pascal.
The original Chairman of aeTV Network is a Hearst Communications person. After taking control, Katzenberg adjusted this position and transferred Anne Sweeney. The reason for Hearst Communications is that women can better control the essence of female TV Station. Of course, everyone has the actual situation. understand.
Not to mention the purpose of seizing control in private, Eric also agrees with this resolution of Katzenberg. Although there is not much Anne Sweeney in the memory, Eric vaguely remembers that Anne Sweeney has led a very famous TV series, named "Desperate Housewives", from this point of view, she has a lot in common with Amy Pascal who likes female movies, let her be responsible for the main female audience's lifetimeTV Station, it is really suitable.
In the morning, everyone walked through the main shoots scenes of "Project Runway" and listened to Linda Evangelista to explain the process in person. Of course, the activity content in the afternoon was "America's Next Top Model".
The two stalls of Reality Show chose Manhattan Midtown as the main shoots venue. Even the apartment of the contestants of the two stalls was only one street away. Therefore, it doesn't take a lot of money to go through it.
At 5:30 in the afternoon, all work was ended, and Emily, Anne Sweeney and others all came home from work. Eric was stopped by Cindy Crawford.
"Eric, are you free at night, how about having dinner together?" Cindy Crawford said. Already stepped forward and held Eric's arm intimately.
Linda Evangelista walked out of a dressing room after packing up his things. Just to see this scene, his lips flicked, and he walked to Eric and laughed and said, "Eric, since I want to eat dinner, I am not as good Together. "
Eric joked: "Take the two of you to the restaurant together, and I will be killed with my eyes."
"Then go to me, my cooking is pretty good. By the way, I can continue to talk about" America's Next Top Model ", I think that I have not done enough in many places," Cindy Crawford said, taking care of Eric , Throwing a threatening look towards Linda Evangelista, and then messing up carefully and carefully cutting your appearance.
Linda Evangelista originally wanted to tease a little, but Cindy Crawford's glance made her very uncomfortable, and came forward provocatively to hold another arm of Eric. Tao: "Then go to Cindy, our good sisters haven't been together for a long time."
Cindy Crawford can't help it anymore. Reaching out from behind Eric, gently nipped between Linda Evangelista ribs.
"Ah, it hurts," Linda Evangelista cried out, and immediately became tearful, complaining to Eric grievously: "Eric. Cindy she pinched me."
It took two hours to drive from Manhattan back to Eath Hampton. Eric originally planned to stay in the city. At this time, the beautiful woman invited him. Of course he was disrespectful. He reached out and hugged the waist of Linda Evangelista and patted comfortably. Go to Cindy, if you go, let her make food for us. If you do n’t, I will invite you to dinner next time at New York. "
"Okay, I listen to you," Linda Evangelista said softly. Her voice is not dolly, slightly hoarse, but with a naive like a teenage girl, very flavorful.
Seeing Linda Evangelista saying this, Cindy Crawford can only stare at her, but there is no way to refute Eric's decision.
Several people went downstairs to the parking lot and squeezed into the car of Cindy Crawford. The apartment of Cindy Crawford is in the Upper East Side. Although it is not far away, it happens to be off-duty time, and it takes about ten minutes by car.
Realizing that the plan must be disturbed by Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford decisively focused on "America's Next Top Model", and while driving the car, said to Eric: "Eric, how do you think we are preparing?"
"It's all very good, I'm looking forward to seeing the results of your work," After a tired day, Eric didn't have much energy to talk about these, but simply answered. In fact, during the follow-up process, he already had a very profound evaluation of the two programs.
The format of the "America's Next Top Model" program that Cindy Crawford is responsible for is quite ephemeral, and there are a lot of details about ghost horses. And she pays great attention to the interaction between the host and the players, and she has more personal playing time. Relatively speaking, the mode of "Project Runway" is relatively fixed, with 43 minutes per episode, divided into several fixed program modules, with more emphasis on showing the ability of players.
Eric is quite satisfied with the results of their work, not to mention who is good and who is bad, not to mention, he did n’t want the two programs to be exactly the same.
Linda Evangelista listened to his ears, seeing that Eric did not say too much detail, remembered another thing, and asked: "Eric, the second season of" Survivor "has just ended recently, I heard that the final episode ratings have rushed again. 50 million's scale, how much money can ABC make from this show? "
Eric shook his head and said with a smile: "This is a secret within the company, I can't tell you, but as long as the program in your hands can reach one tenth of" Survivor ", it is enough to fill your small wallet. Full. "
Actually, Eric is not very clear about the specific income of the second season of "Survivor". Now the second season has just been broadcast, and only preliminary advertising revenue data. According to the statistics of ABC, the average of "Survivor" in the second quarter The advertising revenue per episode has reached 27 million USD, and the single-season advertising revenue exceeds 350 million. The production cost of each episode of "Survivor" is only about 5 million. After the later videotape release and Cindy plus distribution, Firefly can at least get more than ten times the income.
