Chapter 448： Of course there are

Unlike the business philosophy of Lei Shidong's content is king, Murdoch is more inclined to channel expansion, which is why the News Group's territory is bigger than Viacom. ...

Because of the rise of Fox TV and the 20th Century Fox Film Company, Murdoch’s business focus has gradually focused on North America.

The departure of Barry Diller made News Corporation lose an important pillar in the film and television media business in the United States. Murdoch had to personally play for himself. These days, Murdoch has been at the Fox headquarters in Los Angeles.

The success of Friends, X-Files and Who Will Become a Millionaire has made the Fox TV network a lot better than the original time and space, inspired by Warner’s n and the resource advantages of News Corp. itself, Murdoch Recently, Fox News has been prepared.

Another day of busy is about to pass, and when it is near work, Murdoch’s assistant suddenly knocked into the office and handed him a document: “Mr. Murdoch, this is the editor of the New York Post, Mars. A newsletter that Allen just faxed, maybe you need to look at it yourself."

Murdoch believes that his assistant will not send an insignificant press release. Since this article has been handed in to him, there must be something special.

"Let's put it here, I will wait and see," Murdoch waved his hand, and the assistant politely left the office.

Soon after reviewing the last few documents at hand, Murdoch picked up the press release sent by the assistant and glanced at the name of the article, and the brow wrinkled slightly. As a media tycoon who started from the news, Murdoch just read the first few paragraphs. It is determined that this is completely a gossip. Perhaps it will bring some talk to readers. But it will certainly cause dissatisfaction of the parties.

After reading Murdoch, he couldn't help but pick up a document he just read. This is part of the financial report of Fox TV's media content this year.

Murdoch’s gaze quickly fell on the column of Terminator 2, after a Hollywood movie was released in the theater, the second round was the release of the videotape, followed by the third round of mainstream TV stations in North America. Play on cable TV stations and local TV stations.

After the completion of the theater broadcast and the release of the videotape, Terminator 2 began the bidding authorization of the TV station, under normal circumstances. In order to maximize profits, movies are often played on paid cable stations, and secondly, free wireless stations are considered.

However, because of the shareholding relationship between Firefly and Fox TV, Firefly broke the first round of rights to Fox TV, but the price is still not cheap, just four times in the first round, Fox will pay up to 16 million US dollars in licensing fees. , an average of $ 4 million each time.

Fox's cooperation with fireflies has been a pleasure, but if the article in front of the article is sent from the New York Post, it will not only be seen as a provocation by Eric. Other media forces will certainly think that there is a crack in the cooperation between Firefly and Fox, which is obviously a scene that many people like to see.

Although he realized that the weak position in cooperation with fireflies made Murdoch feel very uncomfortable. But he would not make any radical moves. He called the assistant again and confessed: "Tell Mars Allen, there is a press release similar to Eric Williams, just press it down." Other reports are also coming to an end."

"I understand, Mr. Murdoch," the assistant nodded and went out.

Looking at the time, Murdoch stuffed the manuscript into his briefcase and went home from work.

Tg last year’s "The End of the Road" won five Oscar nominations. Elizabeth originally planned a public relations party with Drew. She received a call from her father in the evening and had to return to the Murdoch family's residence in Los Angeles. have supper.

After dinner, watching the daughter who came to the study with her own obviously absent-minded, Murdoch could not help but reprimand: "It’s so big, it can’t be stable.”

Elizabeth sat down on an office chair and said with a smile on her legs: "You should say this to my two younger brothers. Hey, I heard that James has recently been fascinated with rock and roll. What kind of person, I hope he will not bring you back one day, a woman who is puffed with a pale face, oh, this 'mother-in-law' is not necessarily a woman's jealousy."

When I mentioned two sons, Murdoch had some headaches. Looking at her daughter’s ridiculous look, she immediately did not fight one thing: "Then you are twenty-four, and you should consider the marriage."

Elizabeth’s eyes immediately became a little erratic, and impatiently shifted the subject: “Dad, what are you calling me back? If I have nothing, I can go, there are still a lot of things.”

Murdoch’s daughter, who is obsessed with her own temper, has no way to know that she will say that this girl will really walk away and she has no choice but to talk about the topic.

"This is the case. Recently, I felt that Fox was weak in content production. How do you think Fox acquired the tg film company?" The opposite daughter, Murdoch did not hide the reason, very straightforward.

Elizabeth spread her hand and said: "Dad, you know that this kind of thing is not something that our three girls can do. It’s got the guy to nod and agree, and even if it’s bought, it’s useless. tg has signed with the firefly. The contract is issued. In addition, you should not play the firefly's idea. Now, even if the fireflies have the remaining quality items, they will definitely be handed over to Disney. After all, Fox still has to do it himself."

Murdoch certainly understands the truth of Elizabeth, but now the cost of film investment is increasing, and the risk is increasing. However, Fox’s big production movies produced in recent years have not achieved any outstanding results. Last year's summer file "Cut Throat Island" was defeated at the box office, and at the end of the year Spielberg's "Captain Hawke" was frustrated at the box office, which made many film companies realize that making movies is not so easy to play. It started in all movie companies. When cautiously dealing with big investment movies, Firefly announced four film production plans with a total investment of more than 300 million US dollars, and had to admire Eric's confidence and courage in film investment.

"Firefly is not announcing the production plan for four movies. Do you think Fox has the possibility to participate in the investment? After all, it is 300 million US dollars. Fireflies have just acquired Disney. The funds should be tight."

Elizabeth shook her head: "There is no possibility. Only when the project is not very sure, the film company will introduce external investment. How can he be unsure of the project he is personally interested in? And the guy is now rated as extremely conservative by Wall Street. The business operators, who advocate low debt and abundant cash flow, will certainly not launch such a plan if they don’t have that much money."

Murdoch sighed and glanced at his daughter. The subtext is obviously not to say anything, but what is your use?

Elizabeth glanced back dissatisfiedly: "Old man, wouldn't you let your daughter go out and sell the hue? Don't even think about it!"

Murdoch was instantly stunned, shaking his head with a wry smile, taking the manuscript from the briefcase and throwing it to Elizabeth: "This is the editor of the New York Post, who handed it in the afternoon, take it."

Elizabeth curiously took it over and over, although she also knew that most of the report was nonsense, but she was still rude in her mouth: "It’s a **** again, planted on a woman sooner or later."

......

"Bastard." The next day at noon, in Julia's mansion in Beverly Hills. Several women had lunch and talked about it, and Elizabeth said with hatred again.

"Asshole," Julia on the other side of the sofa smiled and added a sentence.

Tina Fei, holding a little girl, smiled and didn't follow the sound. Instead, she immediately called her one-year-old little girl in her arms: "Eggs!"

Drew looked at the manuscript in front of him and said, "You don't know what's going on, or think about how to be good."

"Who wants to be good for him, give him the manuscript and let him handle it himself."

"February 10 is the Super Bowl final. Eric has been busy editing the trailer for Tornado these days. Don't bother him with these things," Drew carefully read the manuscript twice, then I received my own bag and asked Elizabeth: "Do you have the paparazzi contact information for this article? You have to take the recording back first."

Julia looked at Drew’s face and said: “There is no need to be so troublesome. Anyway, the manuscripts are pressed down.”

"Of course it is necessary, not only that, but also to warn the girl's father, the small figure who is a good figure often becomes very troublesome."

Elizabeth smiled and said, "Oh, you seem to be very experienced."

"Of course, because I have such a pair of aunts, I understand that people like this often do something," Drew said with a self-deprecating, and slightly squinted at the three people in front of him, a slow tone. Become hoarse and sinister: "No one can hinder Eric, let alone hurt him, and you can't."

For a moment, Julia felt that Drew was like a cat with a gaze in the horror film, and seemed to be ready to rush.

Elizabeth also had this feeling of wantling goose bumps. She said with guilt: "It’s just a few words, and he didn’t marry him. He was... just... the amount, okay, I’ll go find you the paparazzi. Contact information."

Elizabeth quickly inquired about the contact name of Cole Anderson. After Drew wrote down, she left Telia Fiore with her.

Listening to the sound of the car leaving in the neighboring Drew Villa, Julia snorted at Elizabeth: "It’s a little madman, just scared me."

Elizabeth listened to the sound of the car's engine, and turned to look up and down Julia, and remembered herself, shrugged and turned and walked toward the room.

Julia held up with her little head in her arms and slumbered her head and said, "Liz, how strange you are, won't be crazy anymore."

"I have to go to the "Disguised Geek" studio in the afternoon, and I have no time to go crazy, but you will be mad at home all day and night, or go to the film early."

"I have started to pick up the script recently. Hey, do you think that these films can be played by tg?"

"Why, do you want to play crazy women like Nicole Kidman?"

"The tone of your words is really sour. I still blame Eric for not giving "Spicy Hand Flower" to tg. Drew Mingming said, this is his other arrangement."

"How dare I blame him, I am afraid of being killed by Drew."

......

After a cheque was exchanged for the recording of the interview, Drew took Tina Fey and rushed to Disney's production center.

Because of the relationship between Drew and Eric, Billy Clark, the show movie of Mickey Mouse Club, quickly greeted himself after hearing the notice from the studio.

"Hello, Miss Barrymore," Billy Clark felt a little strange. Eric had just visited the Mickey Mouse Club the day before yesterday. He didn't expect to have a day and ushered in one.

Drew was very talented with Billy Clarke, and they both came to Billy Clark's office, and Drew took out the manuscript and recording.

Billy Clark read the manuscript again, listened to a recording, and looked a little uneasy. He knew that these things were reported and would definitely cause trouble for Eric. I know that the well-known director Woody Allen just happened. When you get caught up in a female scandal, if the media catches similar news, it will definitely make a big fuss. If this kind of thing really happens, the program group will definitely be unlucky.

"Miss Barrymore, you... what do you mean?"

"Mr. Clark, this thing has nothing to do with you, you don't have to be nervous," Drew said with a smile, saying: "Call the girl's father to come over, I will talk to him personally, and Can you give me a copy of the little actor who went to the Eric home that day?"

"Of course, of course, I will do it." Billy Clarke said, hurriedly left the office.

Drew quickly got the details of the seven teenagers, quickly flipped over, and quickly eliminated five of them, leaving only the two little girls of Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears. data.

I carefully looked at the photo photos of the two girls. The girl licked her mouth and asked Tina Feida: "Tina, what do you think of them?"

Tina Fe looked at the photo and said: "It's very cute. Disney's children's channel, the chosen little actor is of course very pleasing, Drew, I think Mr. Williams is not that kind of person, he must be Just invite these teenagers to go to the Sharp Corner Manor as a guest."

"No, you don't understand," Drew shook his head, saying: "With Eric for a long time, you will find that he often uses the strange, I can't tell what it means. Looking at some people, it’s like, hey, it seems like I’ve known them for a long time, I’m sure there are such little guys in these seven people.”

"Ah..." Tina Fein opened her mouth in surprise and wanted to say something, but she only subconsciously asked: "So, when did he see me?"

Drew looked up and took a look at Tina. Fei, his mouth smirked and said: "Of course." (To be continued, please search for astronomical literature, the novel is better updated faster!
