I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 214

[Chapter 209 have their own minds]

The car accelerated towards the highway, Eric recalled the situation just now, and said with some emotion: “I can’t believe that in addition to a few major TV stations, even cable stations like this have come together, but Michael Eisner sent someone to come. What’s the situation?”

“Friends” achieved impressive results, as Eric’s assistant, plus the sense of superiority he had just been chased by a group of people, Allen was also slightly excited when he heard Eric’s question After thinking about it, he said, “I think Mr. Eisner should have come forward.”

Eric instantly remembered the acquisition of TV stations by Disney in his previous life, but although Eric could not remember when Disney acquired the TV station in his previous life. , but there must be many years from now, how could Michael Eisner come forward now?

Noticing Eric

‘s puzzled expression in the rearview mirror, Allen took the initiative to explain: “The relationship between Disney and Disney has always been very close. I have been watching Disney cartoons on TV since I was a child.”

Suddenly, he immediately said: “Alan, help me sort out a document between Disney and Hollywood in the past two days.” After thinking about it, he added another sentence: “Put the relationship between the other major TV stations and the Hollywood Seven. Give me a copy of your relationship.”

“No problem, but it may take a week or so.” Allen turned his head.

“No hurry, you do it slowly, the most important thing is to be accurate.”

“I understand, Eric, where are we going now?” Allen asked again, when in front of outsiders, Allen always called Eric for Mr Williams.

But in private, he called Eric’s name directly. This was what Eric specifically told him. After all, Allen was almost thirty years old, almost ten years older than Eric’s body.

Even Eric himself would feel very awkward if he addressed him privately.

Eric said directly without thinking about it: “Go home, it’s already night. Nothing is in a hurry, there’s no need to disturb others now. I’ll go back and call Jeffrey and the others to say hello.”

Back to the Beverly Hills mansion.

Alan and the driver helped Eric move the luggage into the villa together. Little Nizi, who had been waiting for Eric to return, jumped on a pile of luggage and started looking for gifts without waiting for the outsiders to leave.

Eric dotingly knocked on Xiao Nizi’s forehead a few times before sending Alan and the driver away.

“About the arrangement for the past few days, if it is about the invitation from Fox, find an excuse to help me reject it. If other TV stations are in contact, arrange a time to meet.” Standing at the door of the villa, Eric said this to Ai by the car. Ren said.

Ellen knew it too.

Eric is going to sell it among several major TV stations, but he still asked suspiciously: “Eric, what if Murdoch comes to the door himself?”

“He won’t,

” Eric asked.

He said confidently: “For the small gestures of sending a private plane to Venice to pick me up in person, Fox is just expressing his sincerity for the subsequent negotiations, and it still seems a little eager to do so. If old Murdoch can’t help but come to the door in person, then Of course, I will slaughter it hard and say it again.”

“Eric, do you plan to change a TV station for “Friends”?” Allen smiled and asked, but he regretted it after speaking. This question is somewhat sensitive.

Eric certainly couldn’t tell Ellen his plans.

Although Allen has always been more conscientious and conscientious, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be tempted by interests to reveal some things.

If you want a person to remain loyal, the most important thing is to try not to give the other party enough chips to betray.

If the opponent knows some of his plans through Allen.

Then, Eric will have a hard time getting the most out of it.

However, he also saw from Allen’s expression that the other party did not intend to ask this question, and smiled: “This must depend on the quotations of all parties. We must choose the one with the highest price.”

Allen points He nodded, didn’t ask any more questions, and quickly left.

Back at the villa, the phone in the living room had been picked up by Drew, so Eric had to be like the morning when the “Friends” ratings had just been released.

Another hour or two of continuous phone calls.

This time Rupert Murdoch also personally called and invited Eric to have lunch together tomorrow.

Eric randomly found several reasons to reject the other party.

He intends to at least make contact with the other major TV stations first, to make Fox feel enough urgency.

Then talk about the transaction, so as to maximize the benefits.

Although other major TV stations were so eager, Eric had no plans to change the TV station for “Friends” in the first place.

Compared with the ‘young’ Fox, the other major TV stations are more like old men with gray hair. Even if the other party puts down his posture and cooperates with Eric, he will inevitably ‘rely on the old and sell the old’.

And Fox is different. Eric knows that Fox has developed into a North American TV giant side by side with the three major TV stations in just over a decade in his previous life.

But in addition to Eric himself, even Murdoch, who is at the helm of News Corporation, cannot know this, and at the same time, he cannot have enough confidence in the prospects of Fox TV network. In this case, the importance of “Friends” to Fox Sex is extraordinary.

The next day, the first thing Eric did was to visit the crew of “Friends”. At noon, with the help of Michael Eisner, he joined a vice president of a TV station who came to Los Angeles. After dinner, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com An executive who was met by Robert Sheila in the evening was dragged by the manager of the CBS Los Angeles branch to play golf all morning on the morning of September 7th. .

I have to say that the prices of the three major TV stations are very generous. There is no mention of buying out the episodes at one price. The out-of-pocket percentages are quite high.

At the same time, the three major TV stations all revealed their intention to cut Hu Fox and win the next episodes of the first season of “Friends”.

Through these contacts, Eric also found that the three major TV stations must have reached some consensus before, and may even have formed a loose alliance.

But this ‘alliance’ can be blown away by a weak gust of wind. The three major TV stations are in a relatively fierce competition with each other. Although there will be cooperation, it is just as impossible for each other to allow the other two to meddle in their own trump card programs. Similarly, in the matter of “Friends”, they also have their own thoughts, because “Friends” is destined to become an ace in any TV station with its ratings.

Although the three TV stations have reached an agreement on their attitude, they have attacked each other independently, which has also led to Eric being able to successfully implement his vision without too much pressure.

After all, if the three major TV giants in North America put pressure on him together, he would definitely have to consider the consequences of offending three TV stations at the same time.
