Chapter 777： Night……

Although Thales is an ordinary housewife who has no opinion, he is not stupid. From the brief eye contact between Eric and his daughter, I have seen some clues.

However, since Eric promised to face it, she felt that such a big man, um, although too young, would not lie to them.

Since Eric promised that Miranda could sign up with the Disney channel, Thales asked another thing he was most concerned about.

"So, Eric, about Miranda staying in the US?"

Eric said: "Mrs. Kelly, if you don't feel relieved, you can stay in the United States to take care of Miranda."

Thales shook his head and said: "This is no good. I have my own job in Brisbane. My husband and son are also inseparable from me. I and John mean that I hope that Miranda can go to a full-time boarding school. Just stay in school as long as you don't shoot."

"Mom, I don't want to go to boarding school," Eric just wanted to nod. Miranda had already called, and the parents had not discussed this with her in advance. Moreover, if you make a joke and go to a boarding school, what is the difference between it and jail.

Thales was not angry because of his daughter's resistance. The temperature was warm and said: "Baby, you are not yet a grown-up, not a boarding school. I and your father are not at ease to leave you alone in the United States."

"Isn't it possible to find a temporary guardian, so I can go to ordinary middle school," Miranda said, turning to look at Eric.

Noticing Miranda's gaze, Thales shook his head immediately.

"No," Thales raised his voice, but felt that the reaction was a bit rude, as if she didn't trust Eric, okay, though it was a fact.

After a pause, Thales took a few points to make up for it: "You can get the job of the actor, already lucky, we can no longer trouble Eric."

Eric shook his head at this time and smiled: "According to federal regulations, I probably don't meet the conditions as your temporary guardian. I am now a bachelor."

When I heard Eric’s refusal, Thales let go of her heart and said to her daughter, “Hey, you heard it.”

"But I don't want to go to boarding school. If I have to do this, I would rather... would rather..." After two trips, Miranda Kerr did not say that she would rather return to Australia and turned to look at Eric. , said: "Eric, even if you can not be my temporary guardian, but you can always help me find a suitable host family?"

Eric shrugged a little and said: "This is no problem, but you must have your father and mother agree."

Miranda Kerr immediately got up from Eric and tired of Thales, and said, "Mom..."

Eric looked at Thales's helpless look and got up and said: "I have to go see the dinner, no, you can discuss it."

I don't know how the mother and the daughter communicated. When they were having dinner, Thales still said that she still had to get the husband's consent, but the attitude has completely softened.

Miranda Kerr was so excited, like a little magpie, who only wished to achieve it. He chatted with Eric at the table and chatted with all kinds of things. From a few years ago, he fell down on his grandmother’s farm. Not so long ago, the fun of the cover of "DOLLY" magazine was mixed. Although she is not old enough, her ability to observe and observe is beyond her mother. I feel that Eric does not dislike her ability to show her detachment, but rather has a sense of interest, and she does not deliberately converge.

Eric has seen many generations of strong generations of weak cases, and personally experienced the Murdoch family. At this time, it was the first time to see a strong counter-example of a weak generation. Looking at Miranda Kerr’s full stomach, she was very precocious, but her mother, Thales, was very soft and had no persistence. It was also very interesting.

After dinner, because I heard Eric talking about the private screening room in the villa, the girl was wrapped around Eric and hoped to go in and see, after Eric promised, Miranda Kerr left her mother alone. Watching TV in the small living room, pulling Eric went out of the room.

After watching a movie, I found that the time was already more than ten o'clock in the middle of the night.

The two mother and daughter hotels in Burbank, near the Firefly Group headquarters, are more than forty kilometers away from the sharp corner manor. At this time, although it will not encounter traffic jams, it will take more than an hour.

Eric spoke to the guests. Although Thales felt very uncomfortable, she saw her daughter immediately agreed to it and she did not insist.

Arranging the rooms for the two, Eric returned to his bedroom, took a shower, and leaned on the bed to read the latest project plan for the paid cable station that was brought back from the cinema today.

Several cooperative toll-free cable stations were temporarily named FFM, the first letters of the three companies Firefly-Fox-MGM. If there is no more suitable name in the future, no changes will be made.

HBO's current number of subscribers is close to 10 million. Although it has not reached the peak of more than 30 million users in Eric's memory, HBO's annual turnover has exceeded 1 billion US dollars according to the current monthly subscription fee of 9.99 US dollars. Because of this kind of support, in the original time and space, HBO dared to invest huge sums of money to continue to produce a large number of excellent homemade dramas in the next few years, and formed a virtuous circle to gradually consolidate its unsettled industry position.

In this case, there is not much time left for FFM TV to catch up. Eric’s original plan is to imitate the burning strategy of the emerging Internet companies, and spend huge sums of money to produce self-produced dramas with a sensational effect and strong topicality, while spare no effort. Marketing promotion, in the early stage of the development of TV stations, with the full sacrifice of profits as a means to quickly accumulate user groups, in order to achieve the purpose of countering HBO.

However, in the course of repeated discussions between the heads of several companies, the shortcomings of Eric’s plan soon became apparent.

The three major companies plan to take over the telecom cable station of the telecommunications company, the number of users is only 1.5 million, probably only one-seventh of the HBO. With this poor audience base, the programs broadcast by the TV stations are excellent, and they are not in a short time. May cause too much social effect.

After all, the paid cable station is different from the basic cable station. Just like the Lifetime TV station, although the original ratings are equally unbearable, most of the programs have a million or even 100,000 audiences, but it has a total user base of 30 to 40 million. The "National Supermodel Contest" and "Tianqiao Pride" were born. The audience wanted to watch it. Just pick up the remote control and change channels, so the ratings immediately went up.

The number of subscribers of paid cable stations is usually only a few million. Even if it is HBO, there are no more than 10 million subscribers. Because of the high subscription fees and hardware limitations, the number of users cannot grow and grow. Next, this requires a long-term accumulation process. HBO's current subscription of less than 10 million users is also the result of more than 20 years of operation.

Since the first goal of FFM is to expand the number of users as much as possible, the experienced Murdoch quickly put forward a simple and rude but very practical advice, M & A!

The Fox TV network, which has covered the whole country, is the result of many crazy mergers and acquisitions by News Corporation in the 1980s.

In addition to HBO, there are many small toll-free cable stations that play similar content throughout North America.

These second- and third-line charging cable stations are basically subsidiaries of cable TV operators. With the convenient channel resources of the parent company, these charging cable stations can also get a share of the pay TV market by relying on relatively low subscription prices.

Although the price is lower, these TV stations are the best quality paying users. The acquisition of several one-time mergers, the cumulative speed of users is definitely much faster than the way Eric first proposed.

Reading the information in his hand, Eric picked up the remote control and opened the wall-mounted TV opposite the big bed. I wanted to see what the TV station of the operator Cablevision called 'Dolly Film Channel' mentioned in the document is. Cablevision has Interested in selling this paid cable station with 900,000 users, but the offer is as high as 315 million US dollars, and it must be sawed during the negotiations.

Finding the independent movie channel, Eric randomly squinted at a movie episode being played, and shook his head in a boring sense. In the TV screen, two not too beautiful blonde girls squatted on the upper body. The murderer chased the road and rushed, which is obviously a super low-cost thriller movie. Eric just guessed a few moments and probably guessed the story is the "screaming" mode.

Hollywood's rotten film ratio is still very high, because the huge market is here, the independent production company has made dozens of millions of dollars to follow the wind to shoot some films, even if you can't get the cinema, but first release a video tape, then to Independent film channels These TV stations sell the right to broadcast, and overseas copyright sales can also recover a little. The total profit is still very good.

Losing interest, Eric is planning to change channels and hear what sounds come.

咚咚咚——

Eric groaned until the sound rang again, and he decided that it was not his own illusion.

Looked at the watch, unconsciously already 11:30.

I found a pair of beach pants from the side of the cupboard, and Eric walked to open the door. Every active opening, quietly looked at Miranda Kerr, who was making a shy gesture in the hallway.

Looking at Eric, who only wore beach pants, the girl's face was rosy, but she did not back down, and she bravely said: "Eric, I can't sleep, can I chat with you?"

Eric laughed: "If your mother knows that you sneak in the middle of the night to ‘chat’ with me, it will definitely go crazy.”

"My mother usually sleeps very hard, so I don't know," Miranda said, her body squeezing forward, Eric had to let it go, and the girl walked in unceremoniously.

Eric had just had time to change channels. When Miranda entered the bedroom, she heard the screams in the TV set and looked at the TV screen. The girl turned her head and said with a little sigh: "Eric, You like to watch this movie."

Eric was too lazy to explain to her. She closed the door and went to the bedside. She put the information she had just read into the locked drawer. Although she likes to get along with all kinds of women, Eric will not be stupid. There is no defense against women.

Locking the drawer, Eric picked up a Stephen Gold horror novel on the bedside table for sleep, leaning against the bed and looking at the girl who was curious in the bedroom.

Miranda has never been naked, even the socks are not worn, the foot is light like a cat, but the body is still wearing the original thin sweater and jeans, the slim fabric will have a well-developed body wrapped exquisite.

Eric looked up and gave her a look, ‘intimidating’: “This way you can sleep a lot of women.”

Miranda smiled and went straight to the bed more boldly, kneeling beside Eric, raised his face and said, "Do you want to drive me away?"

Eric was too lazy to look up and read a book casually. He asked: "Why do you say that?"

"Oh, you know it yourself."

Eric said: "If I want to, you have already been thrown out."

Miranda Kerr laughed again. After a moment, she said: "Eric, I want to take a shower."

Eric wants to know what the little goblin can make a moth, and nod his head: "Well, let's go, the room is there."

"But I don't have pajamas."

"You can wear me."

"You obviously didn't wear pajamas," Miranda said, reaching for Eric's chest and gently tapping his fingertips.

Eric picked up the white shirt he wore during the day: "Hey, wait until you wear this."

Miranda Kerr took it and took it in his hand twice. He looked up at Eric and saw him look indifferent. The little nose wrinkled slightly and went out to the room.

Eric heard the sound of the closed door, looked up and shrugged.

These years have experienced too many women, and his attitude towards him is also various. Miranda's behavior does not make him feel too unexpected. One of the little fairies of that year can be so tirelessly wrapped around him.

Thinking of Drew, Eric unknowingly recalled the experience of reborn these years.

Step by step, Eric has forgotten how many women have appeared around him, and his mentality has changed step by step, from the beginning of the spirit to the current game life.

I used to want to take every woman I like, and now this kind of mind is gradually faded.

Eric found that he was not suitable for the **** founder Hugh Hefner, who was surrounded by women all the time. He was even a relatively deserted person, who liked to be quiet, and often the woman around him. Need more, one or two on the line, he does not like to look forward to observing, mind is weak, they leave.

Perhaps Drew is the one who knows the most about himself. Although Shantou can't wait to be tired of being around him all the time, he never did it. He just helped him to manage everything in his life like a little housekeeper.
