I’m in Hollywood

In the past, after Seagram acquired Polygram, Seagram had to sell itself to the French Vivendi Group a few years later because the company itself could not bear the high debt and the overall recession of the record industry.

Vivendi Group took over Seagram, and it ended with a huge loss within two years. It sold all its entertainment businesses to General Electric again, and General Electric integrated the original nbc TV network with it to form a TV network covering TV. , film, music and other businesses of the nbc Universal Group, but a few years later, General Electric also sold nbc Universal to Comcast.

It can be said that the former Universal still frequently changed hands when other media groups had gradually stabilized, and Edgar Bronfman's acquisition of Polygon Records was definitely contributed.

After listening to Eric's analysis, Elizabeth said, So, are you determined not to expand the record business?

It is enough for Firefly to have Firefly Records. According to the current development momentum, in another four or five years, the profits brought by fireflyer players to Firefly Electronics may be more than the total annual profit of the entire record industry. The proportion of the group's record business, Firefly has to consider balancing the interests of all aspects, which will hinder the development of Firefly Electronics.

Elizabeth nodded understandingly, and smiled again: Oh, I thought you men liked the bigger the better.

Eric raised his head and glanced at Elizabeth's chest, and said regretfully: Of course, the bigger the better, but unfortunately, the reality is too cruel.

I'm hitting you, show me the script, Elizabeth raised her fist in shame, but, after a few seconds, she leaned over on the desk and whispered, Hey, this time you How much money do you make in Southeast Asia?

With the fall of the Thai baht in July, the currencies of Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore and other Southeast Asian countries plummeted across the board throughout August, with the Indonesian rupiah depreciating even more than the Thai baht.

Many foreign exchange contracts have not yet been delivered. If only the book profit is calculated, it should be about 600 million US dollars. Chris has already started to open a Korean won position, and then he can make another profit, Eric said, looking at Elizabeth :And you?

Eric did not hide from the people around him about the operation of Southeast Asian currencies, and even encouraged Elizabeth to get involved. It's just that everyone didn't gather together, so it would be too conspicuous. Eric didn't want the trouble of looking for the Firefly Group by the government of Southeast Asian countries in the future.

Elizabeth also knew how much principal Eric had invested, and was surprised: How did you earn so much? I borrowed $100 million from Dad, and Julia and Julia put together a total of $150 million in principal. Jin, only made less than 80 million.

$80 million is not bad. You entered the market a little late, and the profit exceeded 50%, which shows that the trader you are looking for is still very capable, Eric turned the script in front of him again, raised his head again, and said : Listen to what you mean, you have already recovered all the funds?

Well, many people say that the Southeast Asian currency will rebound soon, and Julia and I dare not continue. However, the Korean won should not have too many chances of plummeting, why do you put your chips on this again? already?

Eric smiled and said, Except for Japan, in the whole of Southeast Asia, South Korea is the fattest fish. Do you think everyone will let it go?

Maybe, but Julia and I have already bought all the 80 million into stocks, and we can't go back if we want to. Elizabeth shrugged and said with a smile: Well, yes, we also ordered. A Boeing 747-400, if the Nasdaq doesn't keep going up like you said, then you're the only one paying.

Eric said helplessly: Two planes are enough for everyone, why buy so many?

I don't care, of those two, one is yours, the other is Drew's, of course Julia and I also have.

Anyway, it's only 80 million, Elizabeth said with a little savage expression, If you can't pay the balance, I'll give Julia to Boeing, you can redeem it.

The Nasdaq index is far from reaching its limit, and it is no problem to rise several times in the future.

Eric is not worried that the $80 million the two of them are investing now will not be able to pay for a Boeing 747, but he just said, You might as well give yourself to Boeing.

After chatting like this, occasionally fighting a few words, Eric went through the script of Shrek in detail, and modified some details according to his memory. When he was about to get off work, Eric handed the script to Elizabeth and said: Let's do this first, I’m going to New York in two days, and then I’ll go to Blue Sky Studio in person to see the settings and storyboards they’ve come up with.”

Elizabeth put away the script and asked curiously, What are you doing in New York?

This year's Victoria's Secret show will start after Fashion Week. They asked me to come and see it, and there are some other trivial things. After a few days in New York, I have to fly to London, Eric put the table on the table. He simply packed up the documents, stuffed them into the safe, picked up the landline on the table and greeted Caroline and the others, then got up and said, Let's go, let's go eat.

Elizabeth picked up her satchel, took Eric's arm and walked out of the office together, thinking of something, and asked, Then you can't care about the Emmy Awards?

Eric shook his head and said, This is not in a hurry, wait until after the Emmy Awards.

In September, with the arrival of the fall season of TV series, the Emmy Awards, the most important TV show awards in the United States, are also held during this time.

Eric didn't pay too much attention to the Emmy Awards in previous years, but as the TV business of the Firefly system became larger and larger, he also began to devote more attention to this aspect.

Just experienced a lucrative summer, this year's Emmy Awards, the TV programs under Firefly Group also shine.

Whether it is TVB's Friends, The Story of the Emergency Room, Survivor or cable TV's Sexy City, Project Runway and other programs, they have received a large number of nominations.

Among them, under the operation of Harvey Weinstein, the Black Road Family launched by ffm TV station has won 16 nominations, becoming the most dazzling new star in this year's Emmy Awards process.

The Emmy Awards ceremony was held on September 8 at the City Hall in Pasadena, northeast of Los Angeles, a tradition that has continued for 20 years. The Emmys started relatively early, and the entire awards ceremony was only two hours long. The awards ceremony ended, and it was only eight o'clock in the evening in the western United States.

In the end, Black Road Family won 7 awards including best drama series, best actor, and best actress with 16 nominations, becoming the biggest winner of this Emmy Award.

The celebration party was chosen at the Sunset Tower Hotel on Sunset Boulevard.

Eric did not attend the Emmy Awards in person, but came to the Firefly Group's celebration party after the ceremony. Although Harvey Weinstein controls ffm TV, the control is still on the Firefly side, and the celebration banquet of The Black Road Family is not specially separated.

Walking into the banquet hall, Harvey Weinstein was the first to greet him, hugged Eric, and did not forget to tease: Hey, Eric, are you here again tonight?

Eric is used to attending various occasions alone, and it was not the first time that Harvey had heard this kind of ridicule. However, hearing Harvey's words this time, Eric suddenly remembered something, and swept his eyes subconsciously around the banquet hall.

Before Eric found anything, Robert Iger, Anne Sweeney and others who came from New York on purpose also came over at this time, blocking Eric's sight.

Eric had to smile and greeted Robert and the others one by one.

How long it takes to forget a person, the real answer is that as long as you live, it is impossible.

All you can do is let yourself not care.

The last time I secretly gave him a tie, there was no signature and no signature, so I didn't get a response. I cried all night, and then I planned to forget about that guy.

For six years, although in a city, she kept herself and him as two parallel lines as much as possible, thinking that she would gradually become indifferent. However, he did show up at an Emmy celebration party that he thought he wouldn't be attending.

So, he suddenly became absent-minded, and his eyes were always looking towards him involuntarily, watching him surrounded by people, watching him chatting and laughing with people, watching him socializing among the crowd, watching him walking towards him.

Hi, Annie, Eric greeted the rest of the Friends crew, then turned to Aniston, but glanced curiously at the tall man standing beside Aniston, naturally a little disappointed, but He was also a little curious. He vaguely remembered what movie the other party seemed to appear in, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Jenny, yes, it's Jenny, how can you shorten other people's surnames as nicknames, you used to make mistakes, Seeing his calm look, Jennifer Aniston also wanted to express herself He looked more natural, looked straight at him, raised his spare left hand, but did not dare to stretch it out, remembering that there was his boyfriend beside him.

So I instinctively put my raised hand towards the other's arm, um, I also have a boyfriend, you guy.

Thinking so in my heart, the outstretched arm was empty.

Turning his head, he happened to notice that the man beside him obviously flashed on purpose, with a guilty conscience in his expression, as if he wanted to make a clear relationship with her.

After being stunned for a few seconds, a strong grievance suddenly surged up.

Coward, bastard, traitor, coward...

How can you be so unlucky.

She wanted to pour the glass of champagne in her hand, but suddenly lost all strength, the glass fell to the ground, and she squatted on the ground and cried.

Whispering.

Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, let's see.

The sudden change made the entire hall suddenly quiet.

I'm sorry, Mr. Williams, the man who was standing next to Aniston also came to his senses at this time, apologized to Eric, but stood there a little bit at a loss.

Let's go, don't stay here anymore, Eric glanced at the other party, ignored it, handed the glass of wine in his hand to the person next to him, squatted down and looked at him, buried his head and cried. The unscrupulous little girl reached out and picked her up and walked out of the banquet hall.

Robert Iger followed, looked at Aniston curled up in Eric's arms, and asked in a low voice, Eric, what's wrong?

Eric didn't answer, just said: You make arrangements, I don't want to see a few words about this in the newspaper tomorrow.

Robert Iger had a headache. With such a big movement, there was no way to hide it. However, noticing Eric's expression without any room for negotiation, he still bit the bullet and said, Okay.

Came to the parking lot and let the bodyguards get off the car. Eric put Little Niu in the co-pilot and drove out of the Sunset Tower Hotel by himself.

After a while, the little girl huddled in the leather seat finally stopped crying, but she didn't dare to raise her head and asked in a low voice, Where are you taking me?

Send you home, where do you live now?

I'm not going back.

Um.

Eric responded and continued driving.

There was another silence, Aniston slammed his chin on his knee, quietly looked at the lights passing by the lower window, and suddenly said, This is Bel-air.

Eric also looked out. The Bel Air community is also a wealthy area comparable to Beverly Hills: Huh?

diamonds, brilliant, and.bel-air.now, Little Girl whispered a lyric from young-and-beautiful, it's this Bel-air.

Eric nodded: Yes.

I really don't know how a nasty guy like you can write such a good song.

Maybe I copied it.

Little Niu hummed softly and said, How could someone who can write this kind of song copy it for you.

Well, this process is a bit sci-fi.

You're going to start talking nonsense again.

Did I always talk nonsense before?

I, who knows, I almost forgot, and you jumped out again. My PR manager is probably going crazy now.

Little Niu obviously didn't hear her instructions to Robert Iger, and Eric didn't explain it either. He nodded and said, Well, I'm full of news headlines right now, why don't we discuss it and take the initiative to take up the headlines?

Aniston turned his head, looked at Eric in the driver's seat, opened his mouth, hesitated for a while, but still said: As soon as you started talking nonsense, I knew it was okay.

Slow down, I'll take you home, right?

Is it troublesome for a woman like me?

Eric shook his head: It's not troublesome at all. If I want to, there is a 90% chance of coaxing you into bed tonight.

Aniston stared at Eric angrily: Be careful I die with you.

Are you hungry?

This turning point came a bit suddenly, Xiao Niu blinked, feeling a little relieved in her heart, and she knew how to ask people such a question, so she nodded honestly: Hungry.

Well, that's good. People who are in a state of hunger have very weak willpower, so you don't have the courage to die with me now.

... Xiao Niu blinked again and said loudly, Stop, stop!

Eric reluctantly drove the car to the side of the road, looked at the scattered street lights on the side of the road, and said, This is not a residential area, parking is very dangerous, maybe you will encounter a perverted murderer.

Little Niu ignored it, the car just came to a standstill and rushed over, smashing her fist on Eric's body a few times, and reluctantly opened her mouth and bit Eric's shoulder.

I'm, ooh, just, ooh, I'll bite you to death.
