Chapter 930： Who is joking with me?

Nokia undoubtedly inherited the unique craftsmanship of Europeans. The two music mobile phone prototypes in Eric's hands, although only plastic, but the silver shell with a high-grade metal texture.

Moreover, these two mobile phones have not adopted Nokia's unchanging classic shape, but similar to the long strip design of Nokia Rittal, but due to the current technical limitations, the body appears to be wider than Nokia Rico, but the mobile phone as a whole remains. Stylish and full of sense. In addition to the basic communication functions, the music playback system of this phone is much more convenient than the Fireflyer due to the buttons, and even a simple search operation is possible.

Although the initial price of $600 is definitely an expensive high-end model in existing mobile phones, Eric believes that this phone will be very attractive to young white-collar workers under the age of 30.

Bringing on the headphones and listening to a piece of music, Eric regained the two phones with satisfaction.

Now that people are in the restaurant, Eric can't continue to test whether the two phones can easily buy and transfer music from the Yahoo Music Store. However, just for a moment, Eric listens to the music transmission of this phone. There is no doubt about the function. There is no doubt that Nokia’s technology research and development capabilities are no less than the firefly electronics.

And a few words with Caroline and Melanie, Eric began to eat. However, he could not help but start thinking about what kind of timing to choose in the future and even take over management affairs of Nokia.

Nokia is not lacking in technology, no shortage of talents, no shortage of channels, but it has been fading after fifteen years of peaking. This is definitely not an accident, but a long-term qualitative change process that has been riddled with ants. If you want When the matter comes to the end, it will definitely not work.

Firefly investment is still firmly in control of Nokia's 51% absolute controlling stake, so as long as Eric is willing, he has absolute power to make the adjustments he wants for Nokia.

However, in recent years, it is certainly not enough to do so. Nokia has just entered the position of the world's first mobile phone manufacturer, and the current management has a very good company development plan. If you want to intervene in the management of this company now, it will definitely cause conflicts between management and Eric, the major shareholder, and affect the momentum of Nokia's further rise.

Even if it is the current music phone, when Eric promotes this project, he can feel some dissatisfaction with Nokia management. Many high-level Nokias are pursuing the ultimate in easy-to-use function machines. Mobile entertainment is just a slap in the face of 'no business'. Until the decline, they have always been proud of their own ideas, and eventually caused the mobile phone industry giant to fall from the peak to the bottom with a jaw-dropping speed.

Until the two women on the opposite side finished the lunch, I felt that he was silent for a while, and then curiously looked over, Eric recovered the scattered thoughts, smiled and speeded up the meal.

Since it is unclear for a while, then slowly consider it. Anyway, Nokia has just entered its peak period. There are many times and opportunities. At least, the contract of Nokia CEO Jorma Ollila will expire next year. What you want to do, wait at least until then.

Eric is only a little regretful. He doesn't remember the name of the last Nokia CEO who brought Nokia quickly into the abyss. Otherwise, even if everyone disagrees, he will immediately take the guy out and kick Nokia. In just a few years, an industry giant that has more than 40% of the world's mobile phone market will be brought to the stage of selling liquidity. Such ‘talent’ Eric feels that it should be sent immediately to harm other talents.

After eating lunch, Eric told the two women: "You sent a memo to Nokia. Since they plan to adopt two storage versions of 1G and 2G similar to the second-generation Fireflyer, postpone the release time. In January, it was changed to April, and it was released a week after the second-generation Fireflyer. In addition, although Nokia’s main business scope is in Europe and Asia, the main market for this mobile phone should be the United States, because only the United States has a relatively complete Online music store, Europe is not in a hurry, Asia, um, for the time being, don't rush to promote it. The music copyright regulation there is not strict, but we don't have to do it. It is not worth the candle."

Confirming that the two women wrote down their words, Eric left the restaurant and returned to the studio to continue his work.

In the next two days, the simple set for the rehearsal of "Wannabe" in the studio was completed. Eric was planning to convene a member of the hot girl group to start rehearsing, and a heavyweight news came from the United States.

After a long three-month sawing negotiation, Viacom finally reached an acquisition agreement with CBS Group, and the final transaction price reached 36 billion US dollars.

At this point, the four major TV networks in the United States, ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX, all belong to the big group. Although the general electric of NBC Group is not a media group, it still becomes the mainstream of the large integration of the US media industry. A sign of it.

Canada’s Seagram Group’s acquisition negotiations on Polaroid Records in Europe can only be regarded as an extension of this integration wave, because no matter whether the merger is completed successfully, it will not cause too much impact on the US media industry. Great impact.

The completion of the integration of the media group also means that under the circumstances that this monopoly pattern has been formed, a media company will not have the possibility of developing from a zero to a media group unless it adopts a small-scale merger. The US media industry has once again entered the era of oligarchs.

When Eric heard the news, he suddenly remembered the conversation he had when he first met the new film CEO Robert Shea a few years ago. Although his butterfly has had too many storms in the following years, this kind of thing that has happened in history has not changed in the general trend. Fortunately, the fireflies successfully completed their own layout before this.

Today is the third day of the official rehearsal of "Wannabe".

Eric spent two days watching and guiding the girls of the Spice Girls group to perform on the entire MV. Although there has never been a female singing group in the history of music, it has really brought this group of women to the world. It is a hot girl combination.

Therefore, in the original history, although many people think that the babes' combination has just risen, whether it is shooting MV or live performance, it is very cool, but in the view of Eric, who has more than 10 years of experience, The dance of the babes in the MV performance was simply terrible, so Eric naturally based on the memory, let the choreographer redesign some classic dance moves for several girls.

In the studio of Songlin Studio, because the scenery is open, at this time, dozens of eyes are curiously watching Eric, who is putting a set of Steadicam photographic system on the side of the field, including the babes combination. All five people, including the five girls, showed a surprised expression.

Caroline and Melanie helped Eric check the several interfaces on his body. Simon Fuller came over and watched wearing a shock vest and holding a balance bar to debug a light camera. Eric, unbelievable: "Eric, you are, are you going to shoot this MV yourself?"

Eric nodded and looked at Simon Fuller, who was stunned and smiled. "Don't I come alone?"

"No, oh, OK, of course." Simon Fuller shook his head and joked. Eric Williams personally served as a photographer to shoot MVs. Who would dare not say it.

Seeing that Simon Fuller had not responded for a time, Eric said: "The people here should have signed a confidentiality agreement. You can take another look. Before the MV is completed, don't reveal it."

During this time, Eric’s arrival in the UK has been frequent in the local media. The news of the establishment of the Spice Girls group was also fired under the operation of Simon Fuller. However, the outside world only vaguely heard that Eric is about to direct the Spice Girls to make a song, and other information is tightly sealed.

Simon Fuller determined from Eric that he was going to be a photographer himself. The first thought in his heart was to call a newspaper immediately. This is a heavyweight big news.

However, after hearing Eric's special deliberation, Simon Fuller had to dispel the idea: "Well, Eric, I will arrange it."

"So, let's get started," Eric nodded and walked to the sidelines to signal that a MV director who was invited by Simon Fuller was destined to find no more sense of existence.

As the command of the scene sounded, all the extras began to bury themselves quickly.

The five girls in the babes’ group stood at the starting point, and the director who lost all power without a sound, looked at Eric, and waited for him to make an OK gesture. The accompaniment of Wannabe rang. Possibly confidential, whether it is rehearsal or official shooting, only accompaniment will be used. Although everyone has signed a confidentiality agreement, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will be tempted by money to reveal something. The ability of British paparazzi to dig through news is world-famous. In case the lyrics are leaked in advance, it will be lively.

Accompanied by the sound of music, five girls laughed into the camera, and Eric stared at the monitor and began to move slowly with several girls.

The key to using long shots is to quickly find the focus of the lens in the constantly moving doodles and complete the composition to show the lens language that the creator wants to express.

The script of "Wannabe" MV is written by Eric according to memory. The plot is roughly a story of five full-fledged girls breaking into a club and making a lot of trouble.

I don't know if Eric personally controlled the camera. The first rehearsal was just less than a minute. One of the five-person girls accidentally fell and the shooting could only be suspended. Looking at the girl whose face is set to ‘baby babes’, when she looks at herself, she almost wants to cry. Eric has to personally come and comfort her.

In order to ponder the long-lens mirroring technique, Eric has set aside two weeks for the filming of the MV. Therefore, he is not in a hurry to appease the baby babes and tell everyone that the next shooting is as long as Do not stop in the middle without a particularly serious situation.

The music sounded again, although there was still a small situation in the process, but there was no longer a pause in the middle. Eric’s eyes were on the monitor, and the footsteps followed the dance steps of several girls slowly, and the mind quickly calculated How to shoot a lens scene to be more coordinated.

Originally thought that this will complete the first 'one mirror in the end', but the music is about three minutes, in this detail, it should be a young couple excited to dance with five girls, but, Ai Rick suddenly felt that the actress wearing a pink dress on the left side of the monitor was familiar, and looked up with a subconscious mind, and suddenly stopped.

Although dyed a light-colored blond hair, the pink romper group is very unsatisfactory, but the slightly black complexion, deep eyeshadow, iconic indifferent face, this **** is not Victoria Beckham or who, oh, No, it should be Victoria Adams now, maybe, it will always be Victoria Adams.

WTF!

Who is joking with me?

Eric gave birth to a feeling of being weird and funny.

The MV actor chooses this kind of thing, he will definitely not ask. The MV director who was responsible for telling these actors before, he only discovered it now, well, it was mixed in by the stranger. .

The music is still going on, the performance of the five girls has not stopped, but everyone has found that Eric has stopped at the pink dress girl for a few seconds, Victoria Adams naturally feels it, she can not help but also see To Eric, the body that was already dancing on the chair stopped and wanted to get down from the chair, but didn't know if it should be done.

She just saw Eric’s intention to be the photographer’s next shot in the crowd. It’s inevitable that she would be noticed by such a big person, but she also knows that this is probably only a fantasy.

Not to mention the Spice Girls group of five, even if it is an actress who participates in the MV, there are several more beautiful than her. Now, suddenly, Eric Williams stumbled and looked at her for a few seconds. Victoria Adams felt his heart screaming and screaming, and his body was a touch of excitement and excitement. Crisp feeling.

Eric noticed that Victoria Adams had stopped moving and looked at himself, only to come back, and naturally operated the camera and turned the camera to other places.

Off the court, Melanie, who also noticed this detail, grabbed a cup of coffee that Caroline had been holding in her hand, and took a sigh of relief, saying, "Look, what I said."
