I’m in Hollywood Chapter 846: Suddenly rejected

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

Eric remembered the whisper of Elizabeth to myself yesterday, and I ’m not going to explain too much. I will say: “Seagate will probably be able to launch a 2G capacity hard drive next year. At that time, we can appropriately increase the number of Fireflyer models according to capacity The selling price, now, and in the future, the bottom line of 299USD cannot be changed. "

Victor McNeil and others frowned slightly when they saw Eric, and their expressions were a little bit more undoubtedly unprecedented in the past, and they were very sensible and no longer argued.

After breakfast, everyone went to visit the newly set multi-touch capacitive screen laboratory of Firefly Electronics, which was set up by Firefly Electronics in recent months after acquiring a small capacitive screen R & D company. Compared with the current mainstream resistive screen, capacitive screen undoubtedly has more advantages, this screen has also proved to be the mainstream technology of future handheld mobile devices.

Similar to Film Industry's 3D and IMAX, both capacitive screens and multi-touch technology have been around for many years, but there has been no mainstream electronic products matching them, so development has been slow. Eric believes that as long as the planned Yah00pad tablet is launched, capacitive screens that support multi-touch will soon become the mainstream of touch screens. In this case, Firefly can also gain more advantages in technology patents.

It is near noon, and there are only three hours left for the afternoon conference. More and more guests planning to participate in this conference will gather at the Marriott Hotel.

CEOJeff · Bezos of Amazon arrived at San Francisco in the morning. After three rounds of capital injection, Firefly Investment already owned 30% of AmazonWW. Under the operation of Jeff · Bezos, Amazon has also developed extremely rapidly in recent years. Although it has not completely occupied the position of online book sales dominance, Jeff · Bezos has been eager to start Amazon towards comprehensive online retailing. In the direction of the business, Fireflyer's online sales are Amazon's first business expansion attempts.

In order to express the importance of Amazon, Eric deliberately took the time to lunch with Jeff Bezos at the same time, and discussed the next development direction of Amazon.

After selling 30% of the equity of Firefly, in order to avoid the fall of control, Jeff Bezos does not intend to continue financing Firefly investment companies and begin preparations for IPO. Eric has no intention of eagerly acquiring more shares of Amazon. After all, the development of Amazon is not so smooth, and there are still many opportunities for Firefly investment in the future.

The two were sitting in the Marriott hotel restaurant while eating and chatting. Firefly Electronics Chairman Bill Olsen suddenly hurriedly walked into the restaurant and walked directly to the Eric side.

Bill · Olson nodded to Jeff · Bezos, without evasion, and said to Eric anxiously: "Eric, Celine Dion's manager Renee Angeli just called, He said that Celine Dion could not just come to the conference at night. "

The thought of Eric turned around and basically understood what was happening.

The release of Fireflyer, among the traditional five major Record Company, is undoubtedly the biggest impact is the Sony that simultaneously produces a variety of mainstream portable music player devices. Celine Dion is precisely a singer under the Sony record.

Although Celine Dion ’s voice can be called a natural sound, in fact, her personal music style is very simple. If there is no "My Heart Will Go On" turned out, Celine Dion will hardly go to the front line of the music industry superstar Ranks. Therefore, before "Titanic", Celine Dion can only be regarded as a second-line singer under the Sony record. Although the status of Celine Dion rose after the release of "My Heart Will Go On", it was absolutely impossible to obtain Michael due to the constraints of cooperation. Jackson, Madonna the emperor superstar degrees of freedom.

Obviously, this time Sony Records was pressing Celine Dion to force her to be unable to attend Fireflyer ’s product launch.

Eric just did n’t expect that Sony would be so bad that it chose to only have two hours away from the press conference to put pressure on Celine Dion.

Before there was time to say anything, Bill Olsen ’s cell phone rang again.

Bill Olson did not answer, but handed it directly to Eric, saying: "Ms. Dion just said she wanted to apologize to you personally."

The driver behind this incident is Sony. Although Eric is angry, he will not lose his energy to anger Celine Dion, connect the phone, and chat with each other.

Celine Dion is well aware of the importance of "My Heart Will Go On" in promoting her career. Therefore, the tone of Eric on the phone is also very respectful, and she repeatedly apologized and explained her hardship implicitly.

After a few chats, Eric hung up the phone. At this time, Chris, Victor McNeilly and others who heard the news also appeared in the restaurant.

Since this conference will also announce that the "Titanic" soundtrack album will land on the Yahoo music store, Celine Dion is arguably the most important performance guest tonight, and Bill Olsen also specifically placed her at the conference Appeared near the end and announced the official release of the soundtrack album "Titanic" on behalf of the Yahoo music store.

Everyone hurriedly talked a few words, and then left the restaurant together and came to a conference room specially prepared for Firefly by Marriott to discuss countermeasures.

Bill Olson looked at the crowd and said, "It is definitely too late to negotiate with Madonna, but it is not too difficult to get the backstreet boys to praise one more song, just, let them come to power, and then Will be disrupted. "

In the afternoon, there were three honorable guests originally scheduled to be honored. Madonna Sicconi, backstreet boy and Celine Dion.

Madonna will naturally not be bound like Celine Dion, plus she has publicly expressed her intention to cooperate with the Yahoo music store, so after receiving the invitation, she readily agreed. The Backstreet Boys are the pillars of Firefly Records, and the Firefly Electronics conference will naturally not drop them. Celine Dion was also determined early, but everyone did not expect that she would be pressured by Sony at the last moment to give up this performance.

Everyone has watched the preview of last night ’s press conference, and it ’s natural to know that if you temporarily replace others, the details of the announcement of the original soundtrack album of “Titanic” on the Yahoo music store will have to be temporarily changed.

After discussing for a while, Chris suddenly looked at Eric and said: "Eric, since Celine Dion can't be on stage, then you come by yourself. You are the songwriter of" My Heart Will Go On "and have seen the release last night Will rehearse, there should be no problems. "

The voice of Chris was dropped, and Eric had n’t had time to shake his head, everyone excitedly coaxed together: "Yes, Eric, you come in person. Your coffee is much higher than Celine Dion."

In fact, during the conception stage of the product launch, Bill Olsen wanted Eric to make a speech, but was rejected by Eric. At this time, Chris suddenly proposed that they were naturally very excited. As the soul of the Firefly system, the series of auras surrounding Eric is destined for him to take the stage, and the influence in the media will definitely far exceed Celine Dion's performance.

Eric stretched out his hand and pressed the crowd, but he laughed helplessly: "You won't let me go to sing" My Heart Will Go On ", is this ridiculous?"

Bill Olson said: "Of course not, Eric, you can say whatever you want, do whatever you want, and then help to announce that the" My Heart Will Go On "digital album is on sale."

Victor McNally, who has always been not very good at speech, also echoed with excitement at this time: "Yes, yes, that's it."

Ian Gnell also smiled and played emotional cards: "Eric, I think you definitely do n’t want this conference to be messed up, and this is your responsibility, the entire Firefly is yours . "

In the face of everyone ’s eager gaze, Eric hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "Well, then, let ’s discuss now, what should I say at that time."

Bill · Olson shook his head and smiled: "Oh, Eric, this is your business, we will not participate, I should go to meet the guests."

Victor McNeil simply stood up: "That, Best Buy's Vice Chairman is still waiting for me downstairs."

"Haha, Jeff just said I want to discuss with me the issue of Amazon advertising on Yahoo, I will go down first."

As Bill Olson, Victor McNeil and Ian Ggnier left the conference room, Eric turned to Chris.

Chris smiled and spread its hands: "I, haven't thought of an excuse yet."

"consider as finished, I will play at will when the time comes, even if it is messed up, no one will dare to say anything to me Boss," Eric shrugged quite simply and asked about other things: "You and Emily wedding How are you preparing? "

Listening to the topic mentioned by Eric, Chris is a bitter face: "It's still like that, Papa and her parents are much more eager than us."

When Eric looked at Chris, he could almost imagine three elders chasing the busy Chris and Emily to discuss the details of the wedding, laughing and jokingly said: "I will go to New York for another week or two , Maybe I can help you come up with an idea. "

"Don't follow the chaos," Chris shook his head and asked curiously: "In two weeks, besides Kevin and Xiaxia's birthday, do you have anything else?"

Eric nodded and said: "With regard to the establishment of Marvel Studios, Avi · Arad they have already made a preliminary plan, I need to confirm it myself."

Chris occasionally heard Eric mentioned the huge plan of Marvel Cinematic Universe. He needs to pay attention to too many things, but does not show much interest in this matter. The two chatted casually and left the meeting room together.

After twelve o'clock, more than half of the guests have gathered in the Grand Ballroom of the Marriott Hotel, and the remaining guests are also coming one after another.

The Eric went to the ground to study the specific plan of the press conference and put it into the event to welcome guests.

Media reporters from all walks of life naturally do not have to entertain themselves in Eric. However, those tech giants in the IT industry still need him to greet him personally.

As time approaches, the Bill · Gates of Microsoft, the John · Chambers of Cisco, the Larry · Ellison of Oracle, the CEO of Jill · Amelio, the newly appointed CEO of Apple Inc., and other IT industry executives as well as Seagate and Best Buy Senior executives such as electrical chain stores and other partners have appeared, and even Warren Buffett has purposely rushed over from Omaha. In addition to these technology or investment industry giants, the entertainment industry stars who are invited to come naturally will not be lacking. Katzenberg also rushed to the Marriott Hotel one hour before the start of the press conference.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, all the guests had already gathered in the banquet hall. The lights in other parts of the venue were dimmed, leaving only a few beams of light gathered on the stage.

As CEO of Firefly Electronics, Victor McNally first took the stage to announce the start of the press conference and gave a brief speech to all the guests present.

In the original proposal of Eric, I did n’t want this conference to be too long. Therefore, coupled with several interactive performance sessions, the entire conference is expected to be only one and a half hours, mainly including the configuration and function display of Fireflyer , Yahoo music store introduction and sales methods and channel introduction three links.

Bill · Olson has prepared two months for this product launch. Therefore, everything has been carried out in an orderly manner. With Bill · Olson and others successively announcing the details of Fireflyer and Yahoo music store. Information, on-site guests frequently applauded and cheered, and the flash of camera in the hands of media reporters did not stop at all. During this time, countless media have exposed a lot of Fireflyer's information, but the official final news undoubtedly has the biggest news value.

When Amazon Chairman Jeff · Bezos came to the stage to introduce the news of the establishment of AmazonFireflyer, in applause, Bill Olsen, who personally acted as the host, took the stage again with a chair in his hand.

The atmosphere at the press conference has always been quite active, and this strange move of Bill · Olson easily caused a burst of laughter from the guests on the scene.

Bill Olsen put the chair in place, patted it on the back of the chair with some care, but did not sit down as expected by everyone present, just raised the microphone in his hand and said with a smile: "This chair It ’s not for me. Guess who will sit here. "

There are naturally not many people in the banquet hall if Firefly Electronics Chairman can be put on the chair in person.

Someone shouted out soon.

"Eric Williams!"

"Eric Williams!"

"Eric Williams!"

As the sound waves get higher and higher, Bill Olsen no longer sells Guanzi, holding up the microphone in his hand and saying: "So please welcome Mr. Eric Williams together."

With warm applause and cheers, Eric walked from the side steps to the stage. (To be continued.)
