Chapter 653： For confidentiality

Time goes into September.

The North American Summer Movies ended up with a total box office of $2.17 billion. Of course, this perfection is only perfect for most Hollywood studios. For Warner, this summer file is very imperfect.

As the holiday season passed, the four major public television stations in the United States and a large number of cable TV stations also opened up the viewing competition for the fall of the new year's TV series. Various new American dramas or sequels began to follow three files.

The abc TV network that has just been acquired by the Firefly Group has undoubtedly received the most attention. Before the merger, abc has already begun to occupy the largest market share. Once the abc program is as popular as the Firefly movie, it will mean The market share of other major TV stations will continue to be compressed, and abc's several focused programs have not concealed the intention to dominate the TV market in Hollywood.

On Monday, abc has its long-established sports program "Monday Football Night", which has a very stable rating. Starting from Tuesday, abc will spread the "Survivor", "Emergency Room Story" and "Friends" three programs on the next three days.

Among them, "Friends" has just been recovered from Fox TV, but the number of viewers in the first five seasons of the ace comedy show has been maintained at an average of more than 20 million. For five consecutive years, it has dominated the top spot of comedy TV programs.

After withdrawing the rights to play "Friends", Firefly's TV department immediately announced that the sixth season, Eric, the founder will not only personally intervene in the creation of the script, but also add more star guest, although many insiders know that these are just promotional gimmicks. At this time, Eric is hard to intervene in the "Friends" script that has been developed for five years in the timeline and storyline. At most, it is only the symbolic name of a screenwriter. Only the star guest is more reliable. But for the fans of Friends. The effect of this kind of **** is still very obvious. The beginning of the sixth season has already caused a hot discussion, and entertainment media have predicted that the ratings of the new season will likely hit a new high.

At the same time, abc's promotion of the two new programs of the reality show "Summers" and "Emergency Room Story" is no less than "Friends", although the scriptwriting and production of these two programs are combined with "style_txt; Eric It doesn't matter much, but no one in the industry is going to doubt the vision of Eric's selection of programs. Even after the abc opened the "survivor" file was copied by the original drama on other major TV networks to sell long-life reality show. Nbc has a senior executive in the production department who was fired for missing the "survivor". Although there is no shortage of internal power struggles, it is enough to prove that the fireflies have begun to infiltrate the powerful influence of the TV circle.

Beyond abc, after Ron Perelman compromised, Firefly successfully won the entire Marvel Entertainment, when the industry began to pay close attention to which Eric will choose which superhero to develop a big movie, Eric There was no such action at all. After the full integration of Marvel Entertainment into the Firefly Group, Eric just injected a sum of money into the hardship. At the same time, Marvel Entertainment ceo Avi Arad was asked to acquire a comic company called ‘Image Manga’.

Image Comics does not have Eric's fancy copyright. The reason for the acquisition of this studio-sized comic project is mainly to make up for the mistakes made by Ron Perelman. In 1992, because of the dissatisfaction with Ron Perelman, the seven popular masterpieces of the main series responsible for Marvel "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" were all set up to form an image comic, and then the quality of Marvel's comics plummeted. In 1993, Ron Perelman began to issue large junk bonds in Marvel's shell, and the debt burden of hundreds of millions of dollars immediately dragged Marvel into the abyss.

Although Eric is interested in the superhero copyright in Marvel's hands, Marvel has a rich heritage as long as it is out of the capital operation and stable operation. Even if the comic industry begins to shrink, it can still achieve very good revenue.

Before the special effects technology was further developed. Eric does not intend to let Hollywood enter the era of change so soon, so before this, let Marvel self-sufficiency is undoubtedly the best choice, for which Eric is also a match to the hot movie that Fireflies have developed in recent years. The manga adaptation rights were handed over to Marvel, after the plan was announced. The Marvel, which had originally begun to fall, immediately entered the fascinating vision again, and the adaptation of the series of comics in the summer album, which was just released, was listed as the most anticipated work in recent years.

Of course, although the firefly on the surface did not announce any plans to change the film, in private, Eric has already begun to work on the Marvel movie universe. Because Marvel had already sold it before it began to sell it on a large scale, the Marvel Superhero copyright at this time was not there, and the copyrights of several superheroes who were living outside were mostly quietly earned by Drew. The flower film industry, the rest of the copyright, fireflies can be slowly recovered in the next few years.

Therefore, the new Marvel movie universe is much larger than the original time and space.

For the first time, several firefly core executives, such as Kasenberg, saw a nearly 100 films in the Eric study room of the Sharp Corner Estate, and the timeline began to cross the 200030 Marvel Film Project tree. Almost all of them showed a stunned look. Frank Wells, who had already passed his 60th birthday, had no regrets to ridicule himself that he could not see the day when the plan was completed.

At the same time, in September, Michael Lynn, who had delayed the contract for several months, announced his departure. Kasenberger took over the position of CEO of the Firefly Group. The handover did not cause any waves, nor did it lead to a situation like Warner. Everything seems to be logical in the internal power struggle.

After serving as ceo, while Kasenberger continued to adjust the TV business of the Firefly Group, the first thing he faced was to sell the hand-painted animation department that was stripped from Disney for a good price. Establishing a completely digital creation of the Disney Animation Department, Eric does not intend to turn Pixar directly into the Disney Animation Department. The Pixar owner in the San Francisco Bay is completely independent of the corporate culture and creative philosophy. Forcing this will only bring Pixar's own rhythm. upset.

However, the new Disney animation department will receive Pixar's unreserved technical support, and. From the long rhythm of animation, Pixar and future Disney animations will not form a competitive relationship, but will bring enough 3d animation content to the fireflies. What's more, maintaining proper competition between different departments is also a good way to stimulate creative energy.

In addition to all these things, Eric’s “Civil Secret Annual Show”, which was put into a lot of energy, also entered the rehearsal stage.

For the Victoria show. In the three days of the media, there will be criticisms and ridicules of Eric’s ‘no business’.

After the pre-publication of Wei Mi Xiu, nbc's financial column even helped Eric to calculate an account. If he used a time to make a movie, he would only get a movie. Half of the results of Luo Ji Park, the new movie can still bring no less than 300 million US dollars for his personal and firefly group. But this is said to cost the $20 million expensive Neiyi fashion show. Even if Eric’s reputation can receive very high ratings, it may even recover some investment through the issuance of videotapes, but ultimately the possibility of recovering $20 million in investment. Sex is still very small, and the possibility of profit is even more embarrassing.

but. Eric has never thought of using Wei Mixiu to make a profit, and the program of nbc has caused quite a stir, but the account it counts is very unreliable to many people, let alone just laugh. Eric himself.

After the disclosure of the Vimy big show plan, the brand was frequently linked to the media with the secret of Eric and Victoria, and the huge advertising effect made Victoria’s secret income in the three months compared to the same period last year. Increased by 30%.

Eric believes that after a more intensive media bombing around the Vimy show, it is not impossible for Vimi's revenue to increase by 100%. It is necessary to know that the market share of Wei Mi is only about 10%. In the original time and space, Victoria's secret is to have more than 40% market share. Among them, the annual big show that Wei Mi insists on every year has undoubtedly played a very big marketing role.

40% of the huge profits brought by the market share is definitely not comparable to a movie in the district.

At the same time, Eric also plans to combine the Vimi show with the Yahoo portal to launch the first massive online marketing in the history of the Internet, which will further increase the traffic and popularity of the Yahoo portal, for Yahoo to launch the ipo strategy next year. Say. The hidden benefits brought by it are even more incalculable.

Firefly Studios, a commercial suv parked outside the Vimy studio, Tina Brown put a document that was repeatedly read along the way into the briefcase, looked out the window of the car, and looked at the co-pilot and her side. It seems that some awkward girls said: "Carolyn. Melanie, we are here, get off."

Carolyn also glanced at the huge studio outside the window, looking at Tina Brown's briefcase and politely said, "Mrs. Brown, let me help you."

Tina Brown shook her head with a smile, perhaps the obvious British lady temperament that was emitted from the girl. She had a very good sense of this petite girl: "Carolyn, you want to be Mr. Williams' assistant. Ah, I can't let you help me with things."

Looking at Tina Brown's expression and mentioning Eric, Caroline's face was red, saying: "I... I don't know if I can do the job."

Three people got out of the car, and Kelly, who had already waited at the door, greeted him.

After greeting Tina Brown, Kelly’s gaze immediately fell to Caroline, a petite doll: “You are Caroline, I am Kelly Haynes.”

"Hello, Ms. Cairns," Caroline had already known that Kelly would be her own boss. However, after seeing Kelly himself, who was temperamental and intellectual, the girl would inevitably give birth to an inexplicable inferiority.

Kelly smiled and nodded, and greeted Melanie before she walked into the studio with three people.

The design work of the angel costume has been completed, and the studio has been remodeled at this time. The central government has built a large t-station that is more than ten meters long and five meters wide.

As the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair, Tina Brown couldn't help but see the first thing in the t-stage. It should be known that the traditional t-stage is only one meter wide, and Eric has made such an anti-tradition. The t-stage will be controversial in the future.

However, Tina Brown did not resist at all, but was keenly aware that this station would undoubtedly become a news point for the Wei Mi show.

Unlike Tina Brown's thoughts, Melanie behind Kelly and Tina Brown frequently sneaked at the back of Kelly's graceful grace. After a while, she pulled Lacarlo gently. Lynn, a little farther away from the two women in front, came to Carolyn and smiled and whispered: "Carolyn, I dare to make a bet with you, that guy must have that relationship with his female assistant, I But I heard that Kelly Haines has been divorced for a few years, but she doesn't look like a person who has no male partner for a long time."

Caroline sullenly smirked Melanie: "You...you don't tell me these strange things, I don't want to listen. And it's very rude to talk about others behind the scenes."

Melanie sighed with a long accent, and hated the iron and squinted at Carolyn's shyness.

Kelly came to the t-stage with three women, and in the rhythm of the rock music soundtrack, the models on the t-stage were just wearing simple models.

Kelly pointed to Eric, who was standing next to the t-stage and watching the model's steps while looking down at the notebook, saying: "Eric is busy, let's wait."

"Of course, no problem," Tina Brown nodded with a smile, but her eyes looked at the blue-skinned girl who was not tall but was a gorgeous figure. After a while, she seemed to realize what she was doing and asked Kelly. "This seems like a rock song, but why is there no lyrics?"

Kelly explained: "The bmg of the six themes of Wei Mi show are all created by Eric himself. Therefore, for the sake of confidentiality, only the soundtrack will be used in the early rehearsal stage."

Melanie, who also noticed this problem, was a little surprised: "Mrs Haines, you mean, six songs, all of which are Eric... Mr. Williams personally wrote?"

"Yeah," Kelly nodded with a little pride.

Tina Brown has heard of the stunning rock single "newdivide" released by Eric. When she heard Kelly's confirmation, she no longer doubts, but she is a little surprised again: some guys still have What won't it? (To be continued.)
