After the premiere, Drew and Eric flew back to Los Angeles in London for a weekend. MGM and Warner’s equity deal on e! Entertainment TV will be held on Wednesday and will be attended by Shantou.
On the second day of the premiere, Eric secretly contacted the head of the Firefly UK branch and j.k. Rowling to contact the Harry Potter series of film and television copyrights. In order to ensure foolproof, Eric did not rush to leave. "The Royal Casino" had an unexpected success at the box office. After a busy month in Los Angeles, there was no need for him to come out personally. Eric planned to take a break in London for a while.
While the "Casino Royale" is breaking through a series of box office records in North America, the currency systems of Southeast Asian countries have also entered the time of hell.
On July 2, after two weeks of counterattacks against the mothers of the currency, the Thai government was forced to declare that the Thai baht abandoned the fixed exchange rate system and adopted a free floating exchange rate.
On the day of the news release, the Thai baht fell 17% against the US dollar. Due to the fall of the Thai baht, Southeast Asian currencies such as the Singapore dollar, the Philippine peso, the Indonesian rupiah and the Malaysian Git have begun to fluctuate wildly. Southeast Asian countries will continue in the coming months. Become a 'hunting' place for international currency speculators.
According to Chris’s news from Tokyo, as of the close of Friday, July 4, the firefly’s investment secretly established a large number of short Thai baht positions, in just three days, has achieved a book profit of more than 30 million US dollars, and this is only It's just the beginning of everything.
London.
Early on Saturday, Eric just got up soon, Peter Ritchie rushed in and brought a good news. The Firefly UK branch has successfully won the film adaptation of the Harry Potter series. .
Eric, we have signed a copyright contract with Ms. Rowling in the Harry Potter series. In addition, there is a storyline she has made for the whole series. Ms. Rowling will arrive at two o'clock in the afternoon. London, I will personally send her over to talk to you in detail."
Putting a few documents to Eric, Peter Ritchie continued: "And, news from San Francisco, the first products of the new irelyer player factory have been off the assembly line, Mr. Victor McNally I hope that on July 10, Amazon’s snap-up activities will be cancelled in advance to open purchases, and at the same time, products will be released in Europe.
Eric read the "Harry Potter" copyright contract in his hand and used it with one heart and one mind: "North America can open up and buy in advance. The monthly production capacity of the two factories is only 450,000 pieces. The North American market is still in short supply. Now Starting to sell in Europe, only the two sides are out of stock. Moreover, the online music store here is also a big problem. Let them consider this matter after the release of the second generation of products next year, forget it, this matter I will call you there today to communicate."
Peter Ritchie nodded and briefly reported on the contents of several other documents. When Eric put down the contract, Peter Ritchie sent an invitation letter from the briefcase and handed it over: "This is Kensing. Turned over from the palace, Dai Dai will hold a charity cocktail party to help the refugees of Bosnia and Herzegovina tonight, I hope you can participate."
Eric took the invitation and picked it up with a smile. He said casually: "I remember seeing it in the newspaper two days ago. She seems to be engaged now?"
Peter Ritchie didn't know why Eric suddenly mentioned this, and unless Eric specifically wanted to collect the information, Peter Ritchie would not specifically pay attention to these gossip news.
However, after Dai Li and Prince Charles officially divorced last year, many rich people began to blatantly pursue her. Obviously, for these people, being able to bring a former British king to the hand is absolutely able to satisfy some dark vanity.
Moreover, sneaked into Eric, Peter Ritchie couldn't help but think that according to his boss's temperament, he might also pursue the pursuit of Dai Li.
Eric saw that Peter Ritchie had no sound. He looked up and noticed the strange look on his face. He couldn’t help but smile: "Do you think I am interested in Diana?"
"Ah, this," Peter Ricky shook his head quickly, his face stunned, and he didn't know what to answer for a while.
Eric dropped the invitation on the coffee table and said, "I can't be interested in her, a poor silly woman. I don't know how to give others room for myself."
Eric’s lack of headlessness made Peter Ritchie somewhat confused. However, today’s work has been reported. The girl named Cristina Aguilera in the villa restaurant is obviously waiting for Eric to eat together. At breakfast, he took the initiative to leave.
However, driving all the way out of Kensington Garden Street, Eric’s words were still in his mind, and he walked a long distance on Kensington Street. Peter Ritchie finally couldn’t hide his curiosity. Get off the bus, go to a newspaper stand in the road and buy a few newspapers, go back to the car and look for the latest news about Dai Wei.
It turned out that Diana and the son of Mohammed Al Feyed, the boss of London's famous Harold high-end department store, have recently reached the point where they are married. Some newspapers even guessed Dai Dai. I am pregnant now.
I read the relevant news again and repeatedly pondered the words of Eric. Peter Ritchie suddenly had a chill in his heart.
Just from the name, it is not difficult to see the family belief of Dodi Fayed.
However, the United Kingdom has been a devout Catholic country since ancient times. The other fifteen countries in the world that still hold the Queen of England as heads of state are basically Catholic countries. Although they have no longer seen the medieval scenery, the influence of religion on Western countries. Still far beyond the imagination of outsiders. As the mother of the second order successor of the British throne, Prince William, Diana found a future for the "God's Grace, the British and British Northern Territory and the Northern Territory's highest head of state, the guardian of faith, His Majesty the King of England" Stepfather Lin, is it not to leave room for everyone?
Recalling the tone of Eric’s words, and thinking of the excitement, Peter Ritchie couldn’t help but shudder, throwing a few newspapers in front of him and decided to hear it today. Things are all forgotten. Although he himself has a good impression on Dai Li, this kind of thing is definitely not something that his small person can intervene.
Kensington Garden Villa, Peter Ritchie left, Christina came out of the restaurant, the girl was wrapped in a small apron, the whole person inexplicably added a few different surnames.
Before Drew returned to Los Angeles, Christina, who came to London to participate in the premiere of "The Royal Casino", took over, and Shantou did not hide his "selfishness", claiming that instead of letting Eric go everywhere, it would be better to let A familiar woman is by his side.
Because she grew up in a more frustrated single-parent family, Christina’s mind is much more mature than her peers, so she knows more about the world. This can be seen from her recognition of Drew’s recognition. People can be familiar with themselves, but their minds are actually more critical than Eric. There are not many people who can really walk to her side.
Although there are occasional cautious thoughts, the girl has always been a small and cute appearance in front of Eric, which makes people feel very comfortable.
Seeing that Eric is still reading the documents, Christina came over and sat next to him, saying: "Eric, let's eat first, breakfast is cold."
Eric nodded and was about to take a few folders on the coffee table to the restaurant and watch it. Christina had taken the initiative to help me pick up the stack of folders and said, "I will come. ""
"Okay," Eric smiled and got up and walked toward the restaurant.
Christina was about to get up and talk to the past, noticed the invitation on the coffee table, and looked up curiously. When Eric and Peter Ritchie talked about business, the girl always avoided it with great interest. However, she did not hear the conversation between the two. At this time, she saw the invitation of Charity Diana’s charity reception. Christina suddenly came to the event. The matter involving the British royal family is still quite attractive to her.
I came to the restaurant together and placed the folder next to Eric. Christina pointed out the invitation that was placed on the top of the list. He looked at him: "Eric, are we going to attend this reception at night?"
Eric asked: "Would you like to go?"
Christina did not hide her head: "Well."
"Let's go get some fun that night," Eric nodded. Although he wouldn't intervene in certain things, there is no need to shun it: "However, to participate in such a party, you have to donate money, in case they want it." Too much, I have to donate you out when I get there."
Christina patiently brought the breakfast over and smiled. "Oh, you won't."
......
Joanne Rowling felt that her recent experience was like a dream.
Since she graduated from college ten years ago, her life has been very unsatisfactory. Only one marriage has brought her a lot of trauma, even the thought of being suicidal because of depression. After the divorce, she settled in Edinburgh, Scotland with her daughter Jessica. The mother and daughter once again relied on a monthly pension of less than £100.
Although life is poor, Joanne Rowling, who has barely settled down, finally decided to concentrate on becoming a novelist. However, the first novel completed in two years has been retired six times in the past few months. When she had no expectations, a week ago, Harper Collins and the Firefly Group UK branch suddenly came to the door and expressed their willingness to publish her novels, hoping to buy the film adaptation rights of the novel.
Due to the constraints of life, Joanne Rowling naturally can't afford professional agents. In the face of Harper Collins and the representatives of the Firefly Group, she can only negotiate with each other with her own carefulness, but in fact Did not dare to have any luxury, the novel can be published, she is already very satisfied. What's more, the price that the Firefly Group offered for the copyright of the novel even made her feel unrealistic. For every £1 million, she never thought that she could have so much money, let alone preliminarily In the outline of the story, she plans to write five.
In this case, Joanne Rowling also realized that the other party’s feelings of obtaining the copyright of the book were somewhat urgent, but she was never a strong woman and did not dare to wait for the price. The only condition that was raised was that the fireflies must After signing the contract, she paid all her copyright fees immediately. Jessica was almost four years old. She hoped her daughter would get a good preschool education, but it would not be enough. As a result, the two parties signed all the contracts in just one week. Originally thought that this was the end of the matter, but after signing the contract, the representative of the Firefly Group hoped that she would come to London, claiming that Eric Williams would talk to her.
Eric Williams.
The black Mercedes Benz stayed at the entrance for a moment, and the driver showed the pass. The guard seemed to have a phone call with someone, and they were put in.
Looking at the luxurious castle-style villas on both sides of the tree-lined street, Joanne Rowling was nervously pinching the handbag she had been on her lap. The experience of being repeatedly rejected by several publishers has already slammed her self-confidence. Now she has received a £1 million cheque paid by the Firefly Group, but the psychological burden is even greater. Popular, not selling well, what should I do?
The car was not far away and drove into the house of a villa. Through the window, Joanne Rowling had already seen a man and a woman waiting in the yard. Although she was casual, the man was obviously Eric. Williams, as for the girl next to him, Joanne Rowling couldn't recognize it. The other party didn't seem to be Drew Barrymore, the girl who had a close relationship with Eric Williams.
When the car stopped, Joanne Rowling reached out and tried to push the car to get off the bus. When the driver got off the bus and turned over, she immediately understood what was happening. He took back his hand and patiently sat down, waiting for the driver to pull the door open. She only came out carefully.
Just standing, Joanne Rowling felt that Eric had reached out to her: "Ms. Rowling, I am very glad that you can come over."
"Hello, Mr. Williams," Joanne Rowling quickly reached out and shook hands with the other side, while carefully looking up and looking at the other young and handsome face, then she lowered her face with a reddish face, feeling so It’s not suitable, but it’s strong and it’s up.
"This is Christina, you can call her Chris or Tina," Eric introduced the girl next to him.
Christina could feel the tension of Joanne Rowling and took the initiative to come over and said: "Ms. Rowling, I have seen your novel, it is wonderful."
Joanne Rowling shook hands with Christina and said, "Oh, thank you." (To be continued.)
