In another villa in Beverly Hills, John Aniston turned around in front of her daughter and wanted to knock on the door, but she eventually turned and left, leaving the other side of the door, Xiaoyan Niang holding a pair Sitting on the bed with his legs, his chin on his knees, listening silently to the radio in the cage, but revealing a strong ambitious cry, his eyes are not blind, do not know what he wants to write. +
After the storm began, after several disputes with his father, Elizabeth Murdoch moved directly to Los Angeles and lived with Julia. Although the two girls pretended to be indifferent, they were placed After the radio on the coffee table in the living room passed the tune of "new-divide", the two still looked at each other. Julia silently reached out and jumped the radio to the maximum.
Nicole is making a small cake in the kitchen, wearing big headphones on her head, wearing a simple shirt and jeans, a small radio on her waist, gently swinging her body with the tune inside, holding a hand in her hand. Only a large bowl, stir the raw materials in the bowl with a blender.
Although Nicole had a short-term worry after the storm, but when Eric personally called and told her not to make any sound during this time, Nicole let go of her heart, usually do what she should do. . She thinks, how can a man who is so awful can not stand it, and the tone of his call is full of confidence.
Moreover, he is single now, she feels that she must of course fight for it, although he is so bad.
Drew turned off the home audio sound connected to the radio, and the deafening sound sounded over a few tens of meters in the small apartment. It took more than a minute. A white fat man in the neighbor's house jumped out with anger. Shouting at the window that opened in the room of Drew.
"Touch the er. Get out of the way, don't affect the grandmother listening to the song," Drew heard the fat voice of the fat man, directly picked up an apple on the table and threw it out, and also pointed a toward the fat man.
The fat man faced Drew's imposing appearance, and his heart showed a hint of coziness, but he quickly yelled: "Drew, don't think you are a star. If you don't turn down the sound again, I will call 911 to harass the people."
"Come on, the old lady’s relatives have just withdrawn the lawsuit, and my lawsuit has not been enough. Just come with you again, and prepare more lawyer fees.
Drew will poke out the window and throw it again. An apple went out, just on the head of the fat man.
"You...it's too unreasonable," said the fat man with a sullen head.
"How much is a pound? You sell it to me, don't give it to me."
Seeing that the girl is so embarrassed. Some other neighbors who wanted to go to the previous theory also shrank back. The fat man stood in his home and snorted and gasped for a few breaths. He was about to continue to yell, but he did not know when he had a red one. The bricks are stunned by yourself, and you will be able to squat when you squat.
The fat man saw the tragic picture of his crazy father in the newspaper. He closed his mouth and took a few steps back and retracted into his house.
Putting the bricks in the hands and returning to the bedroom, the song came to the end.
...
Pave the road open and let the pain converge
Cross the new boundaries and reach the other side of the truth
In the dark, the ash is like a snow flake
Between you and me, you have fallen into the sky
This day, I declare war on the whole world.
...
"on-this-day, i-declared-war-on-the-world..." Shantou followed the beat and swayed the voluptuous waist, followed by a sigh, although the small face swelled red, but because of the five-tone incomplete, It sounded terrible, the song finally ended, the voice of the host named Matthew Lacede sounded again, Drew reached out and turned off the recorder and stereo, then picked up the phone on the bed and dialed to the sharp corner of Malibu.
After the connection, Shantou did not look like a little lion when he was just confronted with the fat man. It instantly became a docile cat, with soft voice and a bit of grievance: "Eric, just another neighbor bullying I am..."
In the mansion of Malibu, a few people in Eric’s living room made a slight gesture, and then they said to the phone at the end of the phone:
You don’t want to bully others, thank you... um... no problem... I Know that I know..."
After more than ten minutes, Eric hangs up and sighs at the same time.
Because of the reversal of the wind direction, Eric received four lawsuits, in which Drew’s father and the scriptwriter who sued himself for plagiarism directly withdrew the lawsuit, and everyone with a discerning eye could see that the forces behind the two men understood the present. The situation, knowing that things can't give up the support of the two, but the prosecution of using illegal means when obtaining the sharp corners of Malibu has not been revoked, but Edward also sent a message, this matter dragged on for some time, it is estimated that Will not be able to.
As for Sony Pictures’ lawsuit against the "Dark War" contract, although they are not reconciled, they also know that this kind of trouble can delay the payment of "Dark War" for a period of time, but it has angered Eric, "The Dark War" The sequel may become far away, so that if a movie is sold, once the sequel is stranded, the loss may be more than tens of millions of dollars. Therefore, both parties also started the settlement process.
Of course, Eric did not sigh for these things, but thought of Druid Xiao Nizi. After Drew’s father withdrew his complaint, Eric greeted him and moved him back. However, Drew refused and said that he wanted to Culver City and his mother live together, Eric knows that this is a gimmick and does not want to bring trouble to himself, so these days, no matter when Shantou calls, Eric will patiently call Xiao Nizi.
Once again, I went to the sofa and sat down. Eric was sitting around the ring and Jeffrey and others said: "Where did we say that?"
Jeffrey reluctantly reminded: "The thing of the music company."
"Oh, yes," Eric thought again. Then said: "About the music company. I am temporarily affiliated with Firefly. I want to use this single release, we can establish a simple distribution channel, and then temporarily release the original soundtrack of our company's movies. Robert, I and Jay Fridu doesn't know much about the issue, how about the record company for you?"
Robert Shea smiled and nodded. He had the idea: "Of course, no problem, but what about e fans?"
"Keep cooperating." Eric said that the two talked about e-Bai Productions, and Eric’s new record company named after his single is just an empty shell, without any distribution ability. Therefore, this release of this single can only choose to cooperate with the famous EMI album: "Because of the fireflies, I suddenly set up a record company. Now several old record companies are very jealous of this, so only Keep cooperation. Otherwise, we have no chance to develop. If we have accumulated a few years of strength, it is not too late to consider flying alone."
The people in the living room laughed. In a tone, there is more or less pride. After all, a newly established music company that has nothing but a single can cause the taboos of some of the world's old record companies, and it is not an easy task.
"Next talk about uta," Eric looked at Edward Road: "First introduce the progress of the case."
Edward took out the pre-arranged information: "The current situation is very beneficial to us, because the major companies that have helped the back are definitely giving up now, no longer trying to influence this case. Therefore, we only follow the normal procedure. It is okay to respond, because the firefighting and uta violation of the anti-monopoly law caused the illegal damage index is very low, so in the absence of other forces to intervene, coupled with the current public opinion, the Federal Trade Commission is unlikely to fireflies and Ita is heavily punished, even if I pay a fine, I think it is only symbolic. What you have to do is just to get uta's shares as soon as possible."
After listening to Edward, Eric looked at Kapoor sitting on the other side and asked, "Kapoor, what do you think now, I mean, do you want to take over the uta?"
Kapoor smiled a bit and shrugged: "I certainly think, but unfortunately I can't afford it."
Eric has been silent. Since the beginning of the anti-monopoly investigation, the three major brokerage giants in North America have formed a new pattern. The price of caa is as high as 30 million US dollars. The other two companies have also quoted more than 20 million US dollars. Eric bought uta a year ago and spent only $1 million.
However, Icm's report of such a high price is definitely a well-thought-out. Nowadays, uta not only has a series of a-star superstars such as Al Pacino, but after acquiring uta, icm can get another advantage, that is, once uta Merging with Icm, Eric's production of movies will give priority to icm artists, which is no doubt.
In just one year, Eric has made Al Pacino a comeback with several movies, and also brought a few unknown little actors to the position of world-class superstars. This horrible star-making ability It is the reason why the three major brokerage giants have reported high prices. And icm is now at the bottom of the three major brokerage companies, as the signature Hollywood a-class superstar is also the least, so it will be so eager for uta.
I heard Kapoor say this, Eric asked: "We don't talk about money first, Kapoor, I just want to ask, what is your real thought inside?"
Kapoor thought about it and said: "Eric, in fact, Ivan's Marvin Josephson contacted me. If you don't let me say it, I tend to sell uta to icm, Marvin Josephson. Promise will give me a partner's position. As for the other two companies, I think you have not considered caa, I have not considered it. Although wma has carried out a series of reforms and integrations in the past six months, it is too old. The system is still somewhat rigid."
Eric nodded. He wanted to let Kapoor accept uta alone. However, it is still unrealistic to think about it. It’s not that Kapoor can’t afford to buy two or three million dollars to buy the whole uta, even if Eric will All uta gave Kapoor, but with the development of uta, it is still necessary to introduce partners, and thus gradually develop into the model of the last three major brokerage companies. It is better to be in one step. Sell uta directly to icm.
Although this will make Eric completely lose its influence on the brokerage company. However, in his current capacity, there is no longer any need to influence the brokerage firm.
"In this case, talk to Icm and see if you can raise the price any more," Eric decided to do so to Edward Road.
Edward nodded and said that he wrote down.
"Well, let's talk about the finishing touches. After more than a month of suffocation, you can't do anything without doing anything."
When Eric just finished, Jeffrey whispered: "Eric, I think that letting this thing go smoothly is already the best result."
Eric squatted down and looked at other people, whether it was Robert Shea, or coming out of New York in the afternoon, and nowhere in touch with Hollywood, Chris Hansen nodded.
I smiled bitterly. Eric said: "Well, I listen to you. I don't do any substantive action, but I still have to do something, otherwise people will think that I am bullied."
Everyone heard Eric say this, and when he was relieved, he laughed. They are worried that Eric will be young and young, and it is very unwise to want to go down with the seven major film companies. Because Firefly and Eric can survive this storm intact, it is God bless. There is not much strength to fight back now.
"Eric, what do you want to do?" Jeffrey asked with a smile.
Eric originally thought of some tricks of fighting in the past life. When a person was surrounded by a group of people, he sent a shackle to catch one of the other group of people and killed one. I believe the rest will definitely Showing fear, not dare to provoke easily.
He originally picked up Fox, but I saw that everyone around me was reluctant to do this kind of thing. Eric could only give up.
After thinking about it for a while, Eric’s mouth showed a smirk:
Since you can’t beat a person, then provoke the relationship between this person and your companion.
All of them were smart people. They understood Eyre’s meaning when they thought about it. At the same time, they realized that the object that Eric chose was definitely Fox. After all, the cooperation between the two sides was the deepest, and the fireflies even held Fox. 10% of the shares of TV stations.
......
Eric’s personal
new-divide
single release has set off a wave in North America, and the song’s lyrics are not disease-free or unintelligible, but Eric’s most encounters during this time. The real portrayal, therefore, the single record sold for three days, sales exceeded 1 million, and more than 3 million after a week, and undoubtedly boarded the champion of various song charts. .
At the same time, because of the influence of this song, Eric received more and more public opinion support. He now almost no longer has to worry about the storm, and several women who are more intimate with him are in a series. Under the guidance of public opinion, I also walked out of the shadow of this storm and began to consider the work arrangement for this year.
On February 19th, another thing that was crucial to Eric also happened.
On this day, Cisco officially listed, the stock issuance price is 18 US dollars, because there is no daily limit on the day of stock issuance, so on the day of the issue, Cisco's share price reached 22 US dollars.
Although this result is not too eye-catching, but for the next period of time, Cisco began an explosive continuous daily limit, the stock price has doubled in less than a month, Chris on the phone with a very strange and envious tone Eric praised it and asked mysteriously how Eric confirmed that Cisco stocks would explode. Eric certainly couldn’t answer it and could only with Chris.
At the same time, in mid-February, the 62nd Oscar nominee list was announced. "Scent of Women" won four nominations including best film, best director, best actor and best adapted script, no doubt becoming Oscar. Popular, in addition, Julia with the two films of "Wind Beauty" and "Steel Magnolia", while getting the best actress and best supporting actress two nominations, once again caused a burst of media, because for For Oscar, the double nominations are very rare, not to mention the two performance awards that are so important.
As for Eric himself, all the songs are nominated for the script, the best adaptation of "Scent of the Woman", the best original script of "The Sound of the Isles", in fact, "Black War" originally got a nomination, but For public relations considerations, Eric gave up, but chose the "Island Cry" that is most likely to win the prize. After all, because the "Spiritual Sixth Sense" has not yet appeared, the theme of "The Island Cry" is still Very novel, the biggest hope for winning.
Of course, Eric has just had a storm with the Seventh, and therefore the companies responsible for these film distributions will certainly not do their best to publicize these films. Eric can only do it himself. And among the fireflies, only Robert Shea has some experience in this area, and Eric handed it all over to Robert.
What he has to deal with now is another thing, about the matter of provoking a person and his companions.
On the entrance of a famous Italian restaurant on Sunset Boulevard, the black limousine slowly stopped in the parking lot. The driver opened the door and Rupert Murdoch walked out of the car. He just got off the bus and there was a flash nearby. Start.
With a bitter smile, Rupert Murdoch still sorted out the suit, and Elizabeth, who came out on the other side, also stepped forward to hold his father. The two wanted to go inside the restaurant.
The waiters recognized the two people and greeted them: "Mr. Murdoch, Mr. Williams has been waiting for a while, I will take you over." (To be continued, please search for astronomical literature, the novel is better.) Update faster!
