I’m in Hollywood

Iron Man is absolutely the perfect superhero movie. At the same time, Eric Williams once again demonstrated his ability to do anything to the extreme 'Pandora's strength, the super tycoon himself shaped Tony Stark's image exudes an eye-catching charisma, whether he's a genius, a jerk, a playboy, a billionaire, or a superhero, it's just hard for the audience to pay attention. force away from him. - The Times

The dazzling CG special effects of Iron Man made Batman and Robin two years ago look like a clumsy B-movie. The embodiment of strength. Compared with the amazing special effects level shown in the digital field, the era of light and shadow in which Warner, Universal and Paramount cooperated obviously has a big gap to catch up. - The New York Times

Fifteen minutes into the opening, I was blown away by Eric Williams' superb performance. The real-life super-rich makes the superhero image of a self-indulgent bastard morphed into a savior completely honest and believable. ——Variety Show

While Eric Williams' performance in 'Iron Man' received overwhelming acclaim, the young super-rich's real-life net worth continues to refresh public perceptions.

As the Nasdaq approached 3,500, Eric Williams' personal net worth continued to skyrocket, approaching the $400 billion mark.

Perhaps, Eric Williams will become the first trillionaire in federal history (). If the federal currency does not experience severe inflation in the short term, Eric Williams will also be for many years to come. Will be the only super-rich who could possibly have the word ''. Before that, we only had [billionaires] and [millionaires]. It's a terrifying miracle, I have to say. — -Business weekly

In the villa restaurant on Kensington Garden Street, it was already noon the next day.

Eric flipped through the various media film reviews that Mayer had gradually sorted out in the morning, read this article from Business Week, looked up and asked the female assistant sitting opposite: Mary, do you think I'll be the first '?

Mayer raised his head from the folder on his knee, looked at Eric a few times, and said, If you change it to other currencies, you are already here.

Who would do such a boring thing.

yes.

Mayer responded and lowered his head again.

Since breaking through a certain level of relationship, Eric has gradually discovered that the female assistant is definitely the one with the most emotional changes among the women around him.

I don't know what has stimulated me in the past two days.

After silently looking at the girl opposite for a moment, Eric got up and walked over. Mayer felt Eric's approach, and immediately raised the folder in front of him vigilantly: Eric, it's noon now.

If it's Australian time, it's night time.

Eric imitated Mayer's slightly sarcastic tone, sat on the sofa and stretched out his hand to pick up the female assistant's light body and put it on his lap, kissing the girl's most sensitive neck directly.

After a while, Mayer's body was completely paralyzed, but Eric suddenly stopped all movements.

Mayer, who subconsciously probed his face and took the initiative to kiss, was stunned for a moment, raised his head to notice Eric's playful gaze, and opened his little white teeth to bite down on Eric's body without hesitation.

Eric quickly blocked it, smiled and picked up the female assistant, and said, I just think we should change places.

You have to meet Leonard Riggio, the CEO of Bertelsmann Group.

There are still 20 minutes, Eric looked at his watch as he walked upstairs with the girl in his arms, and said, We will finish it in 19 minutes, and it should be no problem to walk from here to the restaurant of the Garden Hotel in the remaining one minute.

So, in the end, it was a little late.

After the joy, Mayer refused to leave the bedroom anyway, and Eric could only go to the banquet alone.

Bertelsmann Group is the parent company of BMG Records. Compared with EMI Group, BMG's business only accounts for about one-third of Bertelsmann Group's business. Eric's meeting with Bertelsmann Group CEO Leonard Riggio is naturally Still discussing the Yahoo Music Store partnership.

However, the current situation has changed. When Eric announced that fireflyer would accept a shareholding, although several major record companies still did not agree immediately, their attitude was obviously much more enthusiastic than at first, and even Universal Music began to Reconnect with Firefly Electronics.

Although the four major record groups other than Sony have expressed their intention to cooperate, Eric plans to transfer shares to the two major record companies at most.

Therefore, the initiative of this cooperation has begun to be held by Firefly Electronics.

Having dined with Leonard Riggio, Eric thoughtfully brought a lunch back to the villa, Mayer was already sitting neatly on the sofa in the living room, holding his laptop and typing something.

Hey, lunch.

Mayer took it and put it on the coffee table, handed over a sorted document beside him, and said, This is the latest box office data report for Easter movies from Los Angeles.

Well, let me see, you should eat first.

Mayer nodded, but held up his lunch and walked to the restaurant, looking unwilling to stay with Eric.

Eric smiled helplessly before opening the folder in front of him.

Today is April 27th, and from March 26th, the entire Easter period is exactly four full weeks, plus an extra weekend.

This Easter, although the three films Public Enemy, American Pie and One Kiss have performed well at the box office, the most eye-catching is still Blair Witch released before Easter. .

As of the last week, although Blair Witch, which has been released for eight weeks, has completely entered the final stage, and the single-week box office has fallen to the level of only more than one million US dollars, the North American box office of the film has also reached 162.17 million US dollars.

This figure is second only to The Fast and the Furious released at the beginning of the year, and it is temporarily ranked as the runner-up in the North American box office rankings in 1999.

Moreover, relative to the production cost of $60,000, the miracle of the box office return created by Blair Witch will be difficult to break for many years to come.

In addition to Blair Witch, Public Enemy, which was released for three weeks, has a cumulative box office of 82.36 million US dollars, and the final North American box office will be set at about 100 million US dollars as expected.

In comparison, the three Easter movie packages of the Firefly system this year have the best box office performance, still vulgar comedies like American Pie.

From April 9th ​​to the present, within two weeks of its release, the box office of American Pie has reached 63.75 million US dollars. In the end, the North American box office may even be higher than that of Public Enemy, but the production cost of this film is only 1100 US dollars. Ten thousand dollars, which is only one-eighth of that of Public Enemy. Even if it can't be compared with Blair Witch, MGM still makes a lot of money.

And, compared to Blair Witch, which won't be able to make a sequel anytime soon, American Pie is easy to develop into a franchise.

After creating a super dark horse at the box office with Ace Power 2 last year, Fox's One Kiss this year has performed relatively mediocre.

This romantic comedy with a production cost of 25 million US dollars was released in the same week as American Pie, and the box office in two weeks was only 24.99 million US dollars. Although the reputation is good, the final box office may only be about 50 million US dollars, barely allowing Fox to recover. cost.

Although the Easter season films will continue for a few more weeks, due to the overwhelming publicity of Iron Man, the atmosphere of the summer season has become more and more intense.

Eric will also record an episode of The Late Late Show with David on the 29th.

Therefore, after continuing to stay in London for a day, everyone left for New York on the 28th.

However, not long after the plane took off from London Heathrow Airport on the morning of the 28th, Eric heard a very bad news.

Obviously, he deliberately picked the opportunity of the upcoming release of Iron Man, which he starred in himself, and the matter of the little guys suddenly broke out in the media on a large scale.

About six o'clock in the morning on the east coast, the Yahoo portal's duty staff first noticed that this website called 'Hollywood Gossip' suddenly posted several news about the three children in a row. They immediately reported it to Brown. Madam, however, an hour has not passed over there, and these articles have been reprinted by many more well-known news media. Even portal websites such as AOL and MSN of AOL also put relevant news on the home page .

In the study room in the front cabin of the plane, Eric listened gloomily to Mayer's introduction to the current situation, while flipping through a stack of copies of news about the three children.

Eric Williams' illegitimate child exposed

The ridiculous private life of the super rich, a pair of children were born on the same day

Emma Roberts Murdoch Barrymore Williams, The Real Firefly 'Little Princess'

Eric Williams spends a lot of money to hide information, illegitimate children live extravagantly

...

...

Randomly flipping through the press release in his hand, Eric picked up the phone and was about to call East Hampton.

Mayer reminded in a low voice: Eric, Ms. Pakula and Ms. Madsen have already boarded Miss Barrymore's plane with the children.

Eric paused, then turned to connect to the video call on the girl's plane.

After a while, Emma's figure appeared on the screen, and the little guy scratched his hand in front of the camera, and said tenderly, Dad, can you see Emma?

Of course, Eric said when he saw Emma's tender face, his tense emotions relaxed, with a smile on his face, he pulled over the chair and sat down and said gently, Has Emma been naughty recently?

No, Emma has always been very good, but I'm so sleepy. Aunt Joan said she was going to take everyone on vacation, but Emma hasn't woken up yet.

You can sleep on the plane. Your Aunt Drew's plane is very comfortable.

Well, the little guy nodded: Dad, when are you coming to see us?

quickly.

Don't forget to bring a gift for Emma.

Of course, Dad never forgot.

After chatting for a few words, Virginia next to her hugged the reluctant Emma away. Before leaving, she didn't forget to give Eric a blank look at the camera. Joanna sat down in front of the camera.

I'm so sorry, Joan, Eric said apologetically, looking at the quiet woman across from him, how are the children?

Kevin is still sleeping. It's rare for Vicky to let him sleep late. Xia Xia is accompanied by a tutor, reading a book, Joanna smiled, turned her head to look, and whispered: Eric, Victoria Ji is actually very happy.

Eric smiled and understood.

Although more than once persuaded women Kevin and Hawaii are their own children, heirs to the Williams family, Virginia has been worried all these years that Eric will suddenly disapprove of Kevin's identity.

Now that the matter is exposed, Eric will not be able to deny in the future.

Eric, of course, never thought about it that way.

Over the years, he has concealed the news of his two children as much as possible, just so that they can have a peaceful and safe growing environment. Eric seldom deliberately avoided the matter of the two children from the people around him.

However, seeing Virginia and Joanna's reactions at this time, Eric was relieved.

The impact of this incident on women and children is obviously not as serious as I thought.

In fact, it is also very understandable. If a slightly ordinary person, even an ordinary rich man, encounters such a thing, he must have been blocked by the swarming media at this time, and he has nowhere to go, and even collapsed because of it. But the two women just need to take the children on a private jet, and they can easily avoid all this trouble, and the children will not be harmed.

So, where are you going now?

First go to Ventura to refuel, then fly to Australia. Everyone is going to spend the summer vacation there. Liz and Julia have already taken off from Ventura, Joanna's soft tone was still somewhat complaining. , said: The matter here is left to you, we don't care.

Australia is the home base of the Elizabeth family, and the media there is basically monopolized by the Murdoch family. It is obviously suitable for a few women to go there now.

Eric calmed down and said, Of course, I will handle it, you guys have fun.

Well, Joanna nodded and added: Drew is also on the plane. Fortunately, she is in New York recently. Do you want to call her over?

No, I still have to deal with these things. It's good to see that you are all right.

That's it for now, Joanna said, looking at the camera for a while, and said, Eric, don't be too tired recently.

I know, then, bye.

Um.

After hanging up the video, Eric's expression became indifferent again, he got up and left the study in the front cabin and came to the largest conference room on the plane. At the same time, he instructed Caroline and Mayer beside him to call Chris and Ian A video call between Gernier and Jeffrey Katzenberg, among others.

When this happened suddenly, everyone obviously got the news that several core executives of the Firefly system soon appeared on the big screens on both sides of the conference room.
