I’m in Hollywood

Remember [Lewen Novel Network] in a second to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Of course, compared with Elite and IMG, WM is only a very small modeling company after all. It is not something that a brokerage company wants to grow overnight. Although Eric is happy to see that WM can reach the level of being able to stand shoulder to shoulder with companies such as Elite, he will not let the seedlings grow.

Near noon, the meeting was coming to an end. Eric heard Paul Roland's last test about this year's Victoria's Secret show, and replied: Most of the list of Victoria's Secret angels this year has been finalized. So, apart from Carmen, LTD that Bian can only give WM three more places, provided that the models you provide must pass the interview. However, regarding the promotion of models, I have already given Carmen some business cards, and the specific matters need to be handled by you yourself.

The number of Victoria's Secret Angels is increasingly being occupied by industry giants such as ELite and IMG. WM can get four places at one time, which is almost equivalent to one-tenth of the Victoria's Secret Army. This has made Paul Roland very satisfied. Hearing that Eric had given Carmen Case some business cards, Paul Roland was even more excited.

Finally, this topic ended, Paul Roland was about to invite Eric to a nearby restaurant that he had booked for dinner, when he noticed the figure shaking outside the glass door of the transparent conference room, he said again: So, Eric, I want to tell everyone A few words?

Eric also noticed the slender figures dangling in the working area outside the meeting room, and nodded with a smile: Okay.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Paul Roland made a waiting expression, got up and walked out in person.

After a while, a large group of girls came in one after another, and soon the conference room was packed to the brim, looking at Eric who was sitting at the conference table with expressions of excitement, anticipation or teasing.

Seeing this, other WM partners and executives got up and left with a wink to make room. The girls who were acquainted with each other on weekdays stood around, and Carmen Kath, who was originally sitting next to Eric, got up embarrassedly and stood behind the man on his own initiative.

Eric leaned on the back of the chair, appreciatively looked at the girls who had obviously reapplied their makeup, and said with a smile: Everyone must have guessed something, you are right, I am now the boss of WM Company One of them. So, you will definitely get better development in the future.”

The girls who had already expected it suddenly let out a burst of uncontrollable joy.

Eric smiled and waited for the girls to cheer before continuing: Of course, I don't have much time to pay attention to this side. Therefore, the specific operation of the company will not change much, but you can get past There are more opportunities, and this also requires you to work hard enough.

After saying this, watching the expressions of these goblins suddenly turn serious, Eric put away his expressions on purpose, raised his sleeves that were still open, and said, So, in the end, who will button my button? Stolen it, return it soon.

The girls were all taken aback. Although they realized that Eric was probably joking, no one dared to be 100% sure when thinking of his identity. So you look at me and I look at you, it seems that you are really helping Eric find the female thief who stole the buttons.

Then, because Eric brought the topic to this, everyone gradually noticed that a girl in the crowd, by coincidence, was wearing a light blue shirt that was exactly the same color as Eric's shirt, and even the buttons on the shirt were the same. is white. The only difference is that the shirt on the girl is a women's shirt, but when matched with Eric's, it looks more like a couple's outfit.

Noticing that everyone around her turned their eyes to her, even Eric Williams looked over, the girl also realized this, she was a little embarrassed, she opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

The scene was quiet for a moment, and the goblins made eye contact, but they didn't know who started it, and they quickly surrounded the girl who had bumped into the shirt with Eric.

Immediately afterwards, the girl screamed with a smile in the crowd: Ah,

You guys, these, haha, itchy, don't, too hard, it hurts.

Paul Roland and other WM company executives standing at the door saw this sudden situation with black lines on their heads, and they didn't know whether they should step forward to stop it.

Eric was also a little surprised. Hearing the girl's cry of pain, he was about to stop it, but the girls had already dispersed again.

Then, the goblins laughed and sent the 'trophies' they had just grabbed to Eric, leaving only the girl standing by the wall with her hands clasped around the collar of her shirt that had lost all buttons, with a distressed look on her face, and her shirt The hem was still open, revealing a seductive slender waist and flat stomach.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Eric couldn't help laughing, but quickly said: It's too much, I can't do this in the future. However, the company should have a fitting room, who will help me find some needles and threads?

The fitting rooms of modeling companies usually have very complete clothing making equipment, which is convenient for modifying the clothes that the models need to try on at any time. Of course, there is no shortage of small items such as needles and threads. Carolina, who is still familiar with Eric, immediately volunteered ran out.

Eric looked at the girl who was still standing at the bottom of the wall. She had blond hair and a slender figure. She was obviously over 1.8 meters tall in high heels. Coupled with that pretty high street face, the overall score was at least 85.

After taking a few glances, Eric asked with interest: So, what's your name?

Although her body still hurts because of being forcibly ripped off by the girls, the girl also realized that this is a rare opportunity for herself, and immediately replied after hearing this: Mr. Williams, my name is Amy Xi Kesen.

Eric twisted a button and said with a smile: Lend me this first, you can buy a new dress, and the company will help you pay the bill.

Amy Hickson nodded subconsciously, then shook her head immediately, and said, No, no need, Mr. Williams.

It's definitely going to pay you for a dress, Eric saw Carolina come back with a sewing box, and finally said something to Amy Hickson, and then to the other girls: I like to grab other people's clothes. Buttons are not a good habit, and this has to be changed. Now, that's all for today, everyone go to work.

Although a little reluctant, the girls left the meeting room obediently.

Paul Roland waited until the two girls, Carmen Case and Carolina, who were staying behind, helped Eric sew up the cuff buttons before coming in and inviting him to lunch. There was no other arrangement at noon, and Eric did not refuse.

Since it is a private partnership company, the detailed shareholding ratio of Eric's shareholding in WM Company has not been disclosed to the outside world, but relevant news spread quickly in the industry.

For a while, companies such as Elite and IMG felt like they were facing a big enemy. These companies know very well that even if Eric only holds 1% of WM's shares, but with the backing of the entire Firefly system, as long as Eric is willing, WM will definitely develop into a large model agency that can change the industry structure very quickly. .

Entering the new week, the Nasdaq's plunge remains.

At the same time, with the advent of August, the summer vacation has come to an end, and Eric has been busy reviewing a series of film and television drama projects of the Firefly Group in recent days.

In terms of movies, Firefly Group's two blockbusters Gravity and Lord of the Rings First Part, which will be released at the end of the year, have been fully launched.

Spider-Man directed by Cameron himself is expected to finish filming in one month, and Eric automatically extended the deadline to two months in his mind.

Although Michael Bay's Peerless Heist started filming later than Spider-Man, it has already been completed and post-production has started. The film is expected to be released in the summer of next year, and the schedule is confirmed in May. The schedule of Spider-Man is also confirmed to be in the summer of next year, but it is two months later than Heavenly Tribulation.

Casting for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone has ended, and shooting will begin next month, with the film released at the end of next year. The finalized three little guys are completely different from before, but the characters are very satisfying, and Eric did not directly intervene.

The follow-up plan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been officially launched across the board. Due to sufficient planning, the three projects of Captain America, Thor and Hulk were launched almost at the same time, and intense role auditions are underway at this time.

Iron Man 2 has also entered the preparatory stage. Joss Whedon will continue to serve as the director. If the project is successful, Eric will naturally not quit.

In addition, due to the continuous success of Cars and Shrek, Eric also paid close attention to the operation of several major animation studios in the Firefly system.

After Cars, Pixar is currently working on The Incredibles, with several other projects in the pipeline. In order to lengthen the cycle and maximize the benefits, Eric did not let Pixar start Cars 2 immediately, but decided to set the release time of the sequel seven years later.

Animated films have a cycle of seven years. At that time, a new group of children will appear, which will once again support the popular peripheral sales of the Cars series.

Disney Animation Studios' first 3D animated feature film Rapunzel has been completed more than half, and it is expected to be released in the summer next year.

Blue Sky Studio is jointly owned by Firefly Group and Fox Group. Since Ice Age and Shrek have been a big success, Eric is not in a hurry to let this studio start too many new movies.

In addition to these key projects, it is difficult for Eric to take care of more than one hundred other large and small films that are in various stages of production in the four companies of the Firefly system, so he tries not to intervene to avoid counterproductive effects. .

Because he is in New York, Eric has put a lot of energy into the TV business.

On the basis of some original popular dramas, the highlight of ABC TV network this year is undoubtedly American Idol.

After the success of the British version of Pop Idol, ABC also attached great importance to this reality show. Simon Fuller also let go of his work in the UK and specially took three months here to write for American Idol. Idol checks, the project has completed the initial selection of players, and will officially log on to the ABC TV network in September.

In terms of cable TV, the TV stations under the AE TV network have maintained strong growth in recent years. In addition to Sex and the City, Project Runway and America's Next Top Model, Anne Sweeney has also developed additional A brand new series of hugely popular TV shows.

ESPN has stabilized, albeit briefly in disarray following the departure of Steve Bernstein. Eric knew nothing about the operation of sports TV stations, so he handed over the responsibility to the company's management.

The TV station that has just been acquired has officially completed the formulation of a new program schedule and marketing plan, and the preparations for Shameless are also very smooth, and the production of the pilot episode can begin this month.

As the Firefly system continues to grow and develop, Eric also finds it increasingly difficult for him to focus on a certain thing. Although the power of each company has been distributed to the maximum extent, the accumulation of official affairs that Eric needs to handle personally is enough to blow up his work schedule.

In a blink of an eye, it was Friday, August 6th.

ABC Group headquarters on 66th Street on the Upper West Side, inside Eric's temporary office.

It was approaching the end of get off work time, and he was going to fly to Australia tomorrow. Mayer reported to Eric some schedules for the upcoming trip to Australia, and handed over a document and a package.

Eric knew that the document was just finished this week's Nasdaq market analysis report. He didn't have time during the day, so he could only take it back and look at it at night. The other package was a little puzzled: What is this?

Mayer looked at the memo and said, The sender is Rebecca Wade, deputy editor-in-chief of The Sun, just mark it to be handed over to you personally. Perhaps, you can call Miss Murdoch and ask ask.

Eric only talked to Elizabeth on the phone in the morning, and he didn't hear her mention it. Presumably it was sent privately by Rebecca Wade.

At the end of last year in London, Rebecca Wade was entrusted by Elizabeth to deliver breakfast to Eric. Eric didn't have a deep impression of her, but he knew that she was a very well-rounded woman.

However, after thinking about it for a while, The Sun, the secret package, had to be handed over to himself.

The combination of these elements could not be that the Sun secretly suppressed news about itself. After all, The Sun is Britain's leading gossip tabloid.

Mayer obviously also thought of this aspect, and his expression became a little weird when he looked at it.

After sorting it out carefully, Eric noticed Mayer's eyes, and said helplessly: I haven't done anything harmful recently, why don't we take it apart and have a look together, um, and call Carly in.

Mayer, who was quite curious at first, immediately rolled his eyes when he heard what Eric said, and made a proud look of 'I'm not interested in your crap', turned around and left the office.
