I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 566
[Chapter five hundred and sixty first girl ran away]
The phone rang continuously for a while before Eric opened his eyes, and Elizabeth, who was leaning on his arms, also woke up at the same time.
∏∈,
“Is it your mobile phone?” Elizabeth said vaguely, and leaned on Eric, not intending to get up.
Eric reached out and took the mobile phone on the woman’s dressing table, and just after it was connected, Murdoch’s voice was a little exasperated: “Eric, what’s going on, you promised me. Elizabeth heard her father
‘s
voice, her face flushed red, but she came over curiously.
Eric wondered: “Rupert, you should tell me what happened first, right?”
Murdoch on the other end of the phone heard Eric’s doubtful tone, and could only explain the matter patiently.
While talking to Murdoch, Eric reached out and took the remote control that was put aside to turn on the TV in the bedroom. In the TV station’s famous morning news program “Good Morning America”, the host just happened to be broadcasting a speech to a guest. ‘s interview.
“Mr. Kroll, what do you think will be the impact of Firefly’s withdrawal from Fox Television Network?”
After the scene was switched, a middle-aged man with eyes said slowly: “First, we need to understand Why did Firefly Pictures withdraw its shares from the Fox Television Network? From the recent series of external cooperation acts of Firefly Pictures, we can see that while maintaining its own strong strength, Firefly Pictures has already made significant investments in Sony-Columbia and 20th Century Fox. , MGM, the other three major film companies have created a very strong influence, which means that Firefly’s development in the film business has reached a limit.
With the profitability of Firefly Pictures, Eric Williams will definitely not be reconciled, so entering the TV industry will become the inevitable way of Firefly Pictures Exhibition.
However, in recent years, the Fox TV network has been very fast, and News Corporation will definitely not choose to sell the Fox TV network to Firefly. Therefore, Firefly Pictures’ % stake has become an obstacle to its acquisition of other TV networks. In order to avoid future Firefly Pictures had to sell its stake in the Fox network after being investigated for its foray into television.
The
host kept nodding beside him. After the guest finished speaking, he asked the question just now: “Will this withdrawal of shares affect Fox Television Network and News Corporation?
”
Certainly, and the impact is huge, we can see.
The Fox Network opened its stagnant situation five years ago with “Friends”, and then expanded the Fox Network’s audience again with the TV series “The X-Files” and the reality show “Who Will Be a Millionaire”. influence of the Fox network.
And these three programs are all closely related to Firefly Pictures, which is worth mentioning.
In the five years since the broadcast of “Friends”, the
Fox network has not produced any popular TV shows with complete copyrights.
Once Firefly Pictures withdraws, Fox Network is likely to lose these three pillars of ratings. If things really happen, its influence will be equivalent to a tent being taken out of the highest three pillars. The overall strength of Fox Network It will drop a lot in an instant, and this blow is simply devastating.
The
host seemed to gloat over the misfortune and asked again: “Mr. Kroll, in what way do you think Firefly Pictures will develop its TV business.”
Will they start the fifth largest TV network?
”
“This possibility is very low, Eric Williams is most likely to choose one of the three for mergers and acquisitions.
“The
host asked excitedly:” That is to say, we are likely to become acquisition targets?
”
“Of course, and I personally think that Firefly will choose the most likely, because the struggle between the TV station management and the parent company General Group will greatly affect Firefly Pictures’ assessment of it, and cBs TV station has been vigorous in recent years. Serious injury, will definitely not be the first choice of Firefly Pictures…”
Eric was already dressed at this time, listening to the TV guests on the TV station without hesitation to criticize several other competitors.
To Murdoch, who is still online: “Rupert, you should be clear that taking the initiative to make this matter bigger will not bring me any benefits, and after the other three major TV stations understand my personal intentions. Firefly’s acquisition The plan will also be greatly hindered, I can’t do it.”
Murdoch said something, Eric nodded and said: “Relax, I will let Michael attend the press conference in person…myself, no , I today…” Eric was about to find an excuse to refuse.
Seeing Elizabeth who was standing beside him shaking his arm pitifully, Eric’s heart softened and he could only say: “Okay, I will be there on time… O’clock, Century City, I remember it Well, I’ll let someone investigate who leaked this.” Hanging up the
phone, Eric stood in the bedroom slapped the Motorola mobile phone in his hand, and suddenly laughed after a while.
Elizabeth stood quietly beside Eric, for fear of disturbing his thoughts. Seeing Eric smiling, she patted Eric on the shoulder angrily: “Are you happy?”
Eric smiled Without reducing, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Elizabeth’s little hand and squeezed it, saying, “I know who disclosed this.”
The negotiation on the withdrawal of shares between Firefly Pictures and Fox Television Network is limited to the high-level executives between the two parties. I know, and even if some people give up their professional ethics, the loss caused by leaking company secrets is definitely much more serious than the profits generated by revealing this incident to the media. In a Western society that values personal credit, this person’s career is completely over.
In addition to the company executives who participated in this matter, the only one who knows Eric’s share withdrawal plan is Drew, the lawless little girl. During this time, the girl has been living in the Sharphorn Manor. Eric I often bring some documents home to deal with. When the two chatted occasionally, Eric didn’t hide anything. It’s not surprising that the girl knew about this.
Eric’s handling of the Tg incident yesterday was obviously biased towards Elizabeth. Drew’s cleverness must be able to realize this, so it is not difficult for this dead girl to do such a thing to block News Corporation, only However, this blockage is obviously a bit big. From the news that is still broadcast on the bedroom TV, the stock price of News Corp., the parent company of Fox Television Network, plummeted by 5.6% within two hours of the opening of the New York Stock Exchange. It has shrunk by more than $1.5 billion.
Eric can think of it, and Elizabeth can also guess some. Listening to the data just released on the TV, he said angrily: “Drew is too much.”
Eric turned off the TV and pulled Elizabeth towards the building. Going down, he said, “I will teach Drew a good lesson, but in the end, this incident was caused by your old man.”
Elizabeth looked at Eric without being angry at all. , with a smile on his lips, and said indignantly, “It’s this time, and you still favor her.”
“Yesterday I favored you, today I favored her, and the two of you are even,” Eric took Elizabeth into the restaurant , Julia went out to film and took the little guy Emma to Las Vegas. The villa seemed a little deserted.
Eric ordered the servant to bring the breakfast, and then said to Elizabeth, who was still worried: “Don’t worry, the matter is not as serious as what they said just now, haven’t I removed the three ‘pillars’, and You know, I will only take Friends in the end, and next year, as long as the press conference is held later, News Corp.’s stock price will definitely rise again.”
A maid handed today’s newspaper to Eric. Eric flipped through a few of them at random. Most of the headlines on the front page were about Firefly’s withdrawal from the Fox TV network. Eric picked up his mobile phone and dialed. The number of Sharphorn Manor was called, but no one answered, and Drew’s personal mobile phone number was dialed again, prompting to shut down.
Throwing the mobile phone on the dining table, Eric smiled bitterly and said to Elizabeth, who was looking at him: “The girl ran away.” (To be continued.)
