Chapter 225 224. Wavy hair, shoulder-length hair, black eyeliner, small red lips

After being blown up by Liu Xiaoli, it was another hour of fierce fighting before Eric let the old woman go. When she left, her walking posture was deformed, which made the waiter snicker.

He had already figured out the character of this woman. Liu Xiaoli's desire to protect her daughter was real, and she could sacrifice herself for it.

But she was also greedy for money. As long as she was given a piece of meat to hang, she would take the bait without hesitation.

Moreover, Liu Xiaoli's level was not high. Her vision, IQ and EQ were all average. The only outstanding thing was her figure and face.

It was so easy to deal with someone like her. You just needed to take out a peach and hang it there, and she would try to jump up and pick it.

Her ferocity was limited to her mouth and expression, but she lacked fangs and claws. In other words, she had no strength to back her up.

Even if she was fooled in the end, she could only swallow her anger. Otherwise, what else could she do?

Eric is already a very reasonable player. He helped Liu Yifei plan for the future. Which boss would do this?

Look at Weinstein. I don't know how many actors have slept on the red sofa. How many of them can get really good roles? The proportion is shockingly low.

As for Liu Yifei, since it has been a start, the little girl has no objection. If she can't sleep with him this time, she can find another opportunity to sleep with him.

The Olsen sisters can sleep in the same bed, and they can comfort each other and perform for Eric to appreciate. There may be hope to train the mother and daughter to sleep in the same bed in the future. They have been in the United States for so many years, and their thoughts have been tainted to some extent.

As for Zhou Wenqiong's Hudson Theater, it is a good deal to buy it.

Disney has acquired theaters since the year before last and started to lay out stage plays and dramas. It is not too late for MGM to catch up now.

It's just that Zhou Wenqiong's deception made Eric very unhappy. He must teach her a lesson and give her a knock.

February 17th, today is the day for the finals of The Voice of America. Michael notified Eric in advance, and Eric went out to show his support.

In the car, he looked at the box office situation this week.

The Lord of the Rings 3 continues to gallop in theaters around the world, and the box office has exceeded 1 billion US dollars.

Middle-earth Knight defeated Transformers and officially took the throne of the global box office champion in 2003, and the box office figures are still increasing.

Sharknado 2 has been taken off the screen worldwide, and only 22 countries have been released overseas. It has the narrowest distribution channel among MGM's hit movies. Who can limit the type of subject matter?

In the end, North America won 131 million US dollars, and the box office was basically the same as in 2002. The ceiling is here.

Overseas, it earned 43 million US dollars, with a few more countries and a few million US dollars higher box office, but the gap with North America is very obvious.

Foreign audiences still don't buy this, or they are unwilling to spend money to go to the cinema for a bad movie. This kind of movie can be rented on DVD.

In 2002, the final box office of "Sharknado 1" ranked 18th in the North American rankings, while "Sharknado 2" was squeezed out of the 30th place in 2003, which indirectly proved the booming film market.

"Blue Is the Warmest Color" and "Monster" are still being screened on a small scale. The former has already earned $256 million in box office worldwide, a veritable super dark horse, and a super dark horse that takes both business and art into consideration. The box office of the latter is unnecessary to mention.

The reason why the two films are not yet released is mainly to promote the Oscars in the near future. In more than a week, this annual film and television festival will be held.

Therefore, Ashley, Mary and Theron are now busy attending various ceremonies and activities every day to show their presence, and they can't even take care of Eric's needs. The outside world is generally optimistic that the best actress will be decided among the three of them.

"Saw 2" continues to harvest box office, and the only MGM movie released in February, "The Hangover", is also coming soon.

Ryan Reynolds is really busy now. He hasn't had a vacation for 4 months since the release of "Transformers" in mid-November last year.

But if you ask him if he is willing?

Little Devil will nod his head busy. He has tasted the pain of being silent for ten years and no one cares about him. Even if he is asked to be busy again, he will be happy.

A few days ago, Eric held a family gathering as usual. He and Chris Evans said that they had received many movie invitations.

20th Century Fox plans to start filming "Fantastic Four" and invited the two to audition for the roles of Mr. Fantastic and the Human Torch.

Warner Bros. hired Steven Soderbergh to prepare for the sequel of "Ocean's Eleven", "Ocean's Twelve". This series has always been full of big names, and this time it also extended an olive branch to the two.

Warner is also preparing to restart "Batman" and invited the two to audition for the first detective in the comics and other roles.

But both of them have concerns. They both have contracts for "Transformers 2", and there is also "The Hangover 2" which is likely to start filming and "Captain America" ​​which is being prepared. They are worried that the schedule will conflict.

Eric told them to audition boldly. If they were chosen, they could negotiate the schedule later. Anyway, a superhero movie would be finished in three months at most. If you don't mind the work, you can go to another group after the filming. He is not the kind of boss who restricts the development of his subordinates.

In addition to the two of them, other unknown people who were promoted also got very good resources from the market and were promoted to competitive young actors and actresses.

Ashley and Mary both received audition invitations for the role of the Invisible Woman in "Fantastic Four" and the dubbing invitation for "The Chronicles of Narnia".

Gadot also received an audition invitation for the role of the Invisible Woman in "Fantastic Four" and an invitation for "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory".

The British trio received an audition invitation for "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" together. It is said that British actors who have not played "Harry Potter" are not good actors. Now the three of them have got the opportunity.

Even Evangeline Lilly, a girl who made her debut on the big screen, has been recognized by the market for her wonderful performance in "Hold Your Breath" and has received audition invitations for big and small roles in movies such as "50 First Dates" and "Blade 3".

Many people realize that starring in MGM movies can really make a hit, especially the ability to promote newcomers.

"Boss, this is the last inspection report."

Co-pilot, Chen Xing handed over the report on the inspection of the Hudson Theater some time ago. Eric didn't care much about it and hadn't seen it yet.

He simply flipped through it and threw it aside: "It's been too long, tell me."

"Okay, it's the boss, the general situation is similar to what Zhou Wenqiong said, Mrs. Valentine, the owner of the Hudson Theater, really wants to sell the theater."

"She has had this idea for a long time, but no one is willing to take it over because it is not a small theater and the area is the second largest in the entire Broadway."

"The large area means high costs, and the equipment inside is relatively old. After taking over, it must be renovated on a large scale."

"I made an estimate based on the market price. The cost of renovation will not be less than 15 million US dollars. Add the cost of buying the theater, I'm afraid the total cost will not be less than 50 million US dollars."

"Then I calculated the income based on factors such as average ticket price, attendance rate, and performances."

"If the company really buys the Hudson Theater, it will take about one and a half to two years to get back the investment, and this is under the premise of ideal business conditions."

"If you only consider it from the perspective of income, to be honest, this may not be a very cost-effective deal."

After hearing that he only said half a sentence, Eric motioned him to finish.

"Of course, boss, the development of the company cannot be based solely on money. Making money is the ultimate goal, but there are many ways."

"Entering Broadway can bring a lot of indirect benefits, such as the influence of IP will be further expanded, and it will naturally be more convenient to sell peripheral products after the expansion."

"And I also investigated the data when Disney chose to enter Broadway."

Hearing Mickey Mouse, Eric's interest suddenly increased: "Tell me, what data?"

"Disney chose to buy the Amsterdam Opera and announced the adaptation of its classic films and TV series in a high-profile manner. The stock price rose by 4.1% in response."

"And judging from the operating conditions in recent years, it is indeed a good move. Even "Finding Nemo" has embarked on the path of stage play adaptation and will be released soon."

"Since it is a good move, why don't other film and television companies follow up?" Eric asked.

"Because their leaders are not as courageous and visionary as Disney, and they don't have as many IPs suitable for all ages to develop as Disney does."

"So what do you think MGM should do?"

Chen Xing had already organized his words: "I think we should follow the Disney path, boss. One and a half years have been sufficient to prove that you have a vision far beyond ordinary people. We can continuously create high-quality IPs."

"Double Star Entertainment has independent processing capabilities, Hasbro and we are also in the honeymoon period. The situation is very good. With the blessing of Broadway, our final benefits will definitely far exceed the cost."

Eric smiled: "Chen Xing, you are growing very fast, and you have learned to consider one thing in a comprehensive manner. Are you interested in training in several departments?"

"Well? Is it okay?" Chen Xing asked hesitantly.

"It depends on your willingness. Your service makes me feel very comfortable, but if you want to grow more comprehensively, you should go to more positions to learn and exercise."

The driver Peter said: "Go, Chen, the boss is training you, unless you want to be a secretary for life."

Chen Xing nodded immediately: "Thank you, boss, I will listen to your arrangements."

"Well, I'm looking for a new secretary recently. You can lead him for a while, and you can report to the new position when you are familiar with the work."

"Your personality is relatively reserved and shy. Put aside the personnel, finance, marketing, public relations and other departments for now, and go to production."

"Also, strengthen communication with the Hudson Theater, strive to get the theater at the lowest price, and then make an appointment to sign the contract."

"Okay, boss!"

There is a saying in the workplace, that is, there must be a move in the position or salary within two years. If there is no move, you'd better change jobs quickly, of course, the premise is that you work hard.

Chen Xing has a very positive work attitude and has been conscientious for a year and a half. It's time to give him a move.

Wait for a while to go through several departments, preferably three years to become a master, and then go to China to exchange Susan back. It is too unkind to separate the family for a long time.

The Voice of China recording site.

Eric was led by the staff to the lounge. It was not yet the official recording time. The four mentors were accompanying their respective contestants to adjust their status.

"How are the contestants and mentors divided?" Eric asked.

The staff hurriedly explained: "Michael chose Bruno Mars, JAYz and Xilin are in a group, Jenny and Katy Perry are in a group, and Celine Dion chose the little girl Taylor Swift."

Walking and walking, we first came to the first practice room, and we could hear the singing inside through the door.

"Looks like we made it."

"Look how far we've come, my baby."

"We mighta took the long way."

"We knew we'd get there someday."

"Boss, this is the practice room for Celine Dion and Taylor Swift."

Eric nodded, and did not knock on the door in a hurry, but stood outside the door and listened carefully.

The song they sang was the song of Canadian country music queen Shania Twain. At the beginning, Eric was still struggling with who to choose as the last female singer, and Shania Twain was also one of the candidates.

But in the end, considering the popularity and schedule, Celine Dion was still chosen, even though the sketch queen was more expensive.

Now the two of them are singing Shania's representative songs in the finals, which can be regarded as a kind of fate.

Suddenly, the singing stopped, and then Celine Dion said, "Very good, Taylor, but don't use your skills too deliberately."

"Your voice is not fully developed yet, and you are at a disadvantage in terms of skills compared to our opponents, so fully mobilize your emotions."

"Imagine yourself in the mood of the lyrics, this is the key to whether we can win."

"Okay, teacher."

Dong Dong Dong.

Hearing the knock on the door, Celine Dion said "Come in", and then saw a young and handsome man walk in.

She was too familiar with this face. Even though it was the first time they met officially, this angular and handsome face had already been imprinted in her mind.

Because at the Grammy Awards not long ago, she saw Eric go on stage and take away a golden phonograph.

An outsider helped Michael Jackson win the annual award with his first song. Those in the circle may have only been pursuing it in dreams for decades. Who wouldn't be confused?

Of course, the Grammys were just a small episode. What really made Eric's name spread throughout the music circle was the establishment of Meiyi Records.

After the company's equity structure was dug out, especially the cooperation between Meiyi Records and YouTube, the creation of Good Voice almost pointed the finger at Eric.

He was the one who helped Michael Jackson get rid of Sony. Without him planning all this behind the scenes, Sony would never be forced to compromise.

So indirectly speaking, Eric is also half of Celine Dion's boss.

Because Michael holds half of her copyright, Michael's income will be shared equally with Eric, which is equivalent to Celine Dion working for Eric.

However, the remuneration for Good Voice this time is not part of the song fee, so it does not need to be distributed to others.

Therefore, when she received the invitation, she was so happy in her heart. I worked for you for free, and I must make a lot of money this time.

"Hello, Siti, nice to meet you."

"I'm glad to meet you too, Eric."

"Hahaha. You're beautiful too, Siti, but I know that praising a singer's songs is the best compliment. I have to say, "My Heart Will Go On" is so beautiful, I've listened to it no less than a hundred times."

Celine Dion rolled her eyes: "OMG! It's this again. Since the release of Titanic, no one remembers my other songs anymore."

"It's all Cameron's fault, right?"

"Yes, it's all Cameron's fault!"

Celine Dion's personality is famous for her humor and ability to joke, and it's comfortable and smooth to communicate with her.

After the two chatted for a while, Eric turned his attention to the blonde girl next to him.

Wavy curls, shoulder-length hair, black eyeliner and small red lips.

Her height is estimated to be around 170 cm, and she is already quite mature.

The practice room was warm, and through the not-so-thick sweater,

Eric couldn't help but think of Olsen's face. How could their growth rates differ so much!

"Hello, boss, Taylor Swift!"

"This kid is good, not afraid of strangers."
