Chapter 655： Return to rationality

When I heard Eric’s words, Tina Brown bowed her head slightly, and if she had nothing to do with the coffee in front of her face, Tara Banks and Diane Kruger had almost gloating at the same time, but the two girls actually Very savvy, noticed Tina Brown's movements, and immediately took the coffee.

Cindy Crawford, who is incomparable, just wants to pour all the coffee in front of him on the face of a hateful guy.

"Wait, you bastard, one day, one day, I will let you pay the price."

Cindy Crawford thought a little crazy, but did not hinder the expression of innocent and resentful on the delicate face, looking at Eric as a wounded Persian cat.

This is a 'weak spot' of Eric, who was unexpectedly discovered by Cindy Crawford a few days ago. The first time I checked the training results of the models, a girl always looked at her feet when she walked on the t-stage. Eric squatted several times in a row. When the girl cried and went to the t-stage again, Eric immediately did not swear, but specifically let the trainer patiently point the girl how to change the shortcomings that always bow. .

Eric didn't know that he had become the "calculation" object that the stunner had racked his brains. He saw that Cindy Crawford not only did not fight back but did not defend it. Instead, he said that 'you hurt me and smiled.' Suddenly awkward.

Cindy Crawford and O'Neill's night that made people feel very broken, please the original time and space should be born during this time, but now the timeline has not messed up with Eric, Cindy Crawford has been in recent months I have been living in Los Angeles for physical training, and Eric has never heard of the news of the two people.

However, Eric was too lazy to say it when he went out. Anyway, Cindy Crawford was not innocent before.

Tina Brown felt that the scene was awkward, and I saw that Eric stopped talking about it and took the initiative to say: "Eric, I have time with Mr. Kasenberg at 2:30 in the afternoon. Talk about some Yahoo and fireflies. Details of the cooperation. Before that, can I interview you with some questions as the editor-in-chief of Yahoo!"

Eric realized that Tina Brown was definitely not a whim, but the work of this pin-up pin made Eric very appreciative. Moreover, as the boss of Yahoo, Eric didn't mind giving some exclusive news to his online media, so he nodded happily: "Of course, if you have any questions, please ask."

Tina Brown is really ready. After Eric nodded her promise, she quickly took out the notebook from the briefcase. Without unnecessary nonsense, she immediately raised the first question: "Eric, after the Lion King, the fireflies still insist on reforming the Disney Animation Department. In addition to the reasons previously announced, does Firefly have further deep strategic considerations?"

Eric didn't think that Tina Brown's first question was so precise. Now the outside world is almost speculating about the real reason why Fireflies insist on selling the hand-painted animation department. Various guesses are countless. But no one has cut the point from beginning to end. After many years as the media queen, Tina Brown is keenly aware of this topical issue, which is not surprising.

Eric said honestly: "Yes, but it involves the internal secrets of the Firefly Group, so I can't say it."

Tina Brown smiled and nodded. She drew a fork in front of the first question. After thinking about it, she changed the cross to a question mark and looked up: "In this case, Eric. Yahoo can answer your answer. Inviting a professional analyst to make a comment?" After that, Tina Brown added: "I mean, after the auction in the animation department."

"No problem." Eric nodded, both sides understood that this was just a gimmick article that earned click-through rate. The real reason for the firefly to abolish the hand-drawn animation department can only be reversed by the decline of 2d animation a few years later, so Eric does not. Worried that the analysts that Yahoo invited will be able to analyze what is inside based on his affirmative answer.

"So, the second question," Tina Brown asked again. "Now many people want to know the news of the sequel to the black man. The industry is rumored that the firefly refused to restart the black man sequel in the short term, is it really for exclusive use? What about the copyright of black people?"

Eric laughed: "Tina, you are really bold enough."

"Boss, I didn't bring an interview tape recorder," Tina Brown changed her name and explained with a smile.

Eric knows that Tina Brown is saying that his answer will not appear on the website intact. Moreover, he also felt that Tina Brown was testing the negative news about the Firefly Group on Yahoo! Yahoo is a popular mass media platform with a very broad prospect. If all the news about the Firefly Group is positive news, then the credibility will definitely be affected.

"The real inside story of this incident is like this," Eric thought for a moment and said: "After the first success of the black man, including the starring of Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, and the director, the producer demanded Increase the pay and share, if Firefly and Columbia agree, then we will have to pay a total of 35 million US dollars in fixed pay and 5% of the profit share for the sequel, the production cost of the sequel will reach 120 million US dollars, including late The huge amount of money and marketing expenses, the total project expenditure may be close to 200 million US dollars."

Having said that, Eric paused and patiently waited for Tina Brown to write down the data, and then said: "Although the black world's first global box office is close to 600 million US dollars, it is often impossible to follow the sequel. Regularly, the firefly's box office estimate for the black man sequel is 200 million in North America and 200 million overseas. In this case, according to the average share of North America and international, the company can only receive $140 million at the box office. Currently, the box office in Hollywood. Revenues typically account for one-third of total revenue, which means that Firefly and Colombia will receive around 280 million in videotapes and peripherals in the next few years. Not to mention the long time cost of this period, the entire sequel After mining all the profit points, the total profit is 220 million US dollars, and the % of the 220 million US dollars will be distributed to the main developers, which is 66 million US dollars. Then, in this whole movie, several people just participate. The filmmaker’s masterpiece has to take away $100 million in revenue, and the fireworks and the two major film companies that have invested countless manpower and resources for film production, marketing and marketing can only harvest $150 million. I want to divide the two together, Tina, do you think this situation. Is it necessary for fireflies to open a sequel?"

Tina Brown shook her head with a smile. According to Eric's analysis, if the sequel was started, Firefly and Columbia basically worked for several masters. This is obviously not very cost-effective.

Diane Kruger and Tyra Banks listened to Eric’s arbitrarily telling the doubts of these Hollywood blockbusters. While curiosity was satisfied, it was inevitable that some doubts were raised, but the two women were very interested in not commenting.

Cindy Crawford, who has just finished his own tricks, has asked ‘without fear,’ “Why don’t you start the sequel, although the protagonists got more profit, but the fireflies still made money. No?”

Eric just turned a blind eye at the woman, and did not explain it at all. He took the coffee and drank it.

Tina Brown wrote down some of Erik’s data and smiled at Cindy Crawford: “Cindy, for example, if you open a company in the future, hire an eo to help you. This company can earn 1ooo dollars a year, but you are now helping your company to get an annual salary of almost 1ooo. In this case, would you still hire him?"

Cindy Crow opened his mouth and wanted to argue, but if it was his own, she would definitely kick the eo off and change to a manager with an annual salary of 1o million or less.

"I definitely don't want to," Tina Brown looked at the change of Cindy Crawford's expression and said: "The current situation of the black man is similar to the one I just said. This eo can only bring 1ooo to the company. Ten thousand dollars of profits, but to take away the annual salary of 1ooo million, no company will allow this situation. Of course. The specific Hollywood film company, it must be different, if it is MGM Or Colombia, in the case of not starting the black man sequel this project will face a loss. They can only pay a high salary for the masters. But fireflies with more choices do not need this, because it also involves The cost of time, the annual movie schedule is limited, fireflies will definitely choose projects with higher profit margins, such as this year's Lion King, this animation will bring a 100 million dollar profit for fireflies in the next few years. The lion's schedule was exchanged for the black man sequel, and the firefly's final profit may be less than $100 million. Eric, I understand it?"

Tina Brown’s last sentence was to look at Eric.

Eric nodded: "I have to say, Tina, your understanding is amazing."

Tina Brown smiled politely and said: "Thank you for your affirmation, Eric. However, if you don't have the data you just mentioned, I can't analyze it. However, you think I should put these data in the table. Yahoo! Information, this topic is likely to cause Hollywood stars to be hostile to fireflies."

"The problem of high-paid Hollywood stars is ultimately solved, otherwise it will affect the future of Hollywood's future. When you go to the Firefly headquarters, you can let Kasenberg provide you with some information. I hope that the Hollywood star's pay will be rational, so I took the opportunity to make a topic on this topic. Firefly has not relied on superstars in recent years, and will not be in the future, so, Eric shrugged. Road: "I don't worry about their hostility at all."

Tina Brown nodded slightly and excitedly, she realized that this topic would definitely cause a hot discussion. The corresponding section of Yahoo! News will also raise awareness because of this hot discussion, which brings a sense of accomplishment just like the sales of magazines she used to run.

In mind, I remembered this matter. Tina Brown hurriedly asked the remaining questions and left a card for Cindy Crawford’s three women. They agreed to discuss the online topical hype for them at night and left in a hurry. Firefly Studios.

Although Tina Brown was in Los Angeles, the next day, on the topic of discussing the high scores of Hollywood stars, the Yahoo portal page was published. The whole topic section was slated by the black sequel as a primer, and it was very professional. The article discusses in detail the reasons for the high scores of Hollywood stars and the implications for Hollywood in recent years.

Although the discussion of creating aa from Michael Ovitz has not stopped because of various bundling strategies, the discussion of the high scores of Hollywood stars has not stopped. However, with the full support of fireflies and the effective operation of Tina Brown, this topic is far from hot. In any past, related articles on the Yahoo! portal have been reprinted in many newspapers and media in North America and Europe in just a few days.

Subsequently, the first timetable of the four major movie companies, Firefly, Fox, Columbia and MGM, stated that they would gradually adjust the company's production strategy and improve the current status of film starring. Warner, Paramount, and Universal, though not members of the Firefly Alliance, quickly expressed similar statements in the same interests.

The unified statement of the seven major film companies immediately caused a huge earthquake in the industry. The American Actors Association jumped out for the first time, saying that if the seven major film companies compress the actor’s pay, the actor association will resist the situation and some will be fanned. The actors who are up are also showing signs of being ready to move, seemingly ready to have an 'immediate vacation'.

In the face of this situation, Yahoo Information immediately refuted the article, saying that the strategy of the seven major film companies to reduce costs is only for a small number of stars with high pay, not for most ordinary actors, the actors association is obviously part of the interest. Class control, misleading the public in this confusing way.

In Hollywood, who has just experienced a box office harvest, no one will be willing to see a show.

Fireflies and other major movie companies quickly clarified that they would not compress the salary of ordinary actors. Not only that, but with the overall expansion of the Hollywood film industry, the income of ordinary actors will not only decline, but will gradually increase.

As a result, the ordinary actor class was calmed down, and the superstars at the top of the Hollywood pyramid were immediately reluctant. (To be continued.)
