When Eric and Elizabeth arrive at Fox together situated in the Headquarters campus of century city outside, the well-informed media reporter has encircled watertight the front door, it is estimated that only then few people can obtain the invitation to attend the press conference, Eric guessed that Firefly Burbank Headquarters that side situation estimate is also similar. <\;-,
With the assistance of security personnel, the Eric private car is favorite across the crowded crowd drives into the campus, just got out, Eric saw that Murdoch and Michael Lynn led several people to welcome together.
Elizabeth drills from car, sees is leading some Ai younger sisters including her father several person vision, the complexion one red, greeted with the people, hastily leaves in the name of work. The Eric facial color as usual and Murdoch and the others 11 exchanged greetings, then asked calmly: „Michael, did Rupert, who look up is reveals this matter?”
Murdoch and Michael Lynn have looked at each other one, finally Michael Lynn start to talk: „Perhaps Eric, is Miss Barrymore accidentally discloses.”
Eric has criticized the sentence dead girl, handles this matter not to know that hides the cloven hoof, but, short within one day removed the stock the matter to make all mainstream newspaper and TV Station Firefly, wanted to hide the personal appearance not to be impossible, thinks that Murdoch and Michael Lynn were also clear, this matter absolutely was not small girl ‚accidentally’ revelation, meaning of premeditation was too obvious, Michael said that but allowed some leeway to all people.
„Yesterday small girl also asked me to complain, said that had been deceived, has not thought that today tosses about this matter. I turn head certainly well to teach her,” Eric and people enter the office building together, said careless: „Since the matter occurred, now we discussed how should process.”
The Michael Lynn not clear Eric first few words are any meaning, thinks that he spoke thoughtlessly a saying, but in the Murdoch eye actually flashed through heterochrosis.
Eric just glimpses the expression change of Murdoch, since the opposite party noted itself just to suggest that it is estimated that can understand the long and short of the story of matter quickly. Will have any feelings as for the old fox afterward, this is not the Eric care.
To release conference also more than 20 minutes, group not direct release conference hall, but came to a conference room first. Discussed some issues of following release conference.
Although removes the effect of stock plan on Fox TV Network to be biggest, will possibly create the News Corp stock price in the persistent low of future a long time, but has had similarly also the influence to the layout of Firefly Pictures next stage, the most direct-viewing performance will be the News Corp stock price will fall at the same time, in the New York stock market bulk lots will involve the television service majority of rising of some stock price varying degrees.
Since removes the stock the news to reveal ahead of time. To deny that is definitely useless, no matter others do believe that Firefly needs one reasonably temporarily is perfunctory the excuse of media, to reduce the TV Network purchase case as far as possible in the uncertainties that the earlier mounting phase probably brings.
Had discussed both sides after following release conference common excuse, Murdoch led the person in Fox aspect to leave the conference room very much on own initiative, to Eric and opportunities of Michael Lynn several people of alone exchanges.
When the bystander leaves, Michael Lynn asked: „Eric, how us how processes, now several have Major TV Network produced is vigilant?”
Eric was just coming on the road in century city to plan, and telephoned to find out a situation. Said: „I just had asked that Viacom purchased the negotiations of Blockbuster Corporation to arrive at the final moment, if we wanted, at this time can definitely have a hand to meddle.”
„You said that we do use to the pretence that the recording tape leasing business expands?”
Eric said: „This move is effective absolutely, and for sells in the hand to the recording tape business expansion the Fox TV Network stock, this reason is also passable.”
1993 was the recording tape industry last good time, was profit richest some time, can see the future person except for Eric this, no one believe in afterward several years. Recording tape sale and rental industry because of emerging as well as the emergence of online of leasing business DVD, but presents the cliff -type landslide.
The scale of this time recording tape industry even had to exceed the movie Box Office total amount the tendency, because FCC( Federal Communications Commission) gradually relaxes in recent years to the television industry strict anti- anti-monopoly restriction, now most people had not realized that the United States television industry entered once again the large-scale annexation conformity time. Firefly ejects to recording tape leasing business expands this excuse, even if cannot win others'trust in all people, but is also reasonable.
At afterward release conference, when Murdoch after arriving dozens reporters announced Firefly and Fox TV Network will continue maintains a series of plans of cooperation, Eric then has also indulged in unbridled propaganda Firefly Pictures to the plan that the recording tape leasing market expanded, and aims at Viacom soon to receive Blockbuster in pouch the Firefly Pictures purchase spear point very much explicitly.
As for the future. Firefly Pictures definitely in process that in competes with Viacom ‚being defeated’, therefore is not Eric lies, to act in a play to make the complete set, Firefly also specially sent out Vice Chairman to start to contact the Blockbuster high level.
Viacom had Blockbuster Corporation over 3000 recording tape sale and rental chain stores to ask for 8 billion USD sky-high prices to this in entire US these days, the sudden involvement of Firefly Pictures, immediately let Viacom and Blockbuster negotiations obvious deadlock, although Blockbuster short contact of management through with Firefly Pictures, realized that Firefly has not purchased the Blockbuster intention truly, but in order to obtained a higher pricetag from the Viacom hand, the Blockbuster aspect did not mind with Firefly Pictures empty by winding.
All smooth excellent situations stopped suddenly, breathless Summer Redstone has published an open letter on 《Los Angeles Times》, shouted abuse Eric not to obey the custom. But purchases Blockbuster is Viacom merges a Paramount important link, if purchases the Blockbuster failure, Viacom lost has carried on large-scale debt financing the chip, purchased the plan of Paramount also along with it putting running water, but, Redstone has again to raise the offer.
Eric turns a deaf ear to regarding the provocation of Redstone, as before routinely own work and rhythm of life.
After release conference, the tendency that the News Corp stock price falls fast although stops, because of market regarding Fox TV Network and Firefly Pictures ‚branch family’ worry, the stock price has not restored to the price.
Perhaps was Murdoch understood the reason of matter quickly. Several days later, 20th Century Fox has successfully completed to the TG's purchase matters concerned, offered originally to promote 140 million USD from 120 million USD. Eric can guess that Murdoch thoughts, makes such big beach matter. Although the old fox is in the wrong on own initiative, but does not would rather increase price absolutely, for just does not make some only small fox again make any at sixes and sevens matter, the non- sentiment hope has not given the compensation of 20 million USD.
After TG income pouch, to inspire the confidence of investor. Fox TV Network started to intensify the «Buffy the Vampire Slayer» publicity, but also held the post of the Producer matter to indulge in unbridled propaganda Eric personally.
The time arrives in mid August, a sudden matter disrupted the life of many average person instantaneously, on August 18, some Los Angeles dentist filed the charge to the federal court officially, sued Michael Jackson to implement the indecent, world-shaking to the under 13-year-old son the Jackson handsome boy case erupts.
Facing the lawsuit, is carrying on Michael Jackson that «Dangerous» global tours to interrupt the concert, returns to United States to answer a charge. Eric knows that «Dangerous» global tours to represent the Michael Jackson enterprise peak. But also has become the Michael Jackson final peak.
After Michael Jackson returns to United States, hundred and thousand of reporters encircle the Jackson house quickly watertight, a public opinion revelry around the world will erupt from now on, what as for is feels by the revelry object, who cares?.
The later generation are too many to the discussion of this matter, although Eric knows that Michael Jackson is innocent, but at this time, Eric also can only maintain the manner of watching critically, he and Michael Jackson not any occurring together. Eric also knows that at this time his anything did not do. Not to mention that dentist as well as attacks the Michael Jackson media one-sided, considers the biological elder sisters to stand to slander the younger brother continually loves Tong Pi, how is Jackson pure from the card?
Perhaps comes under the influence of this matter. Also or is daily extremely busy, Eric recent somewhat is inexplicably agitated and sad, many people of his side discovered this point, Jeffrey also led a psychiatrist to the Eric office, directly was actually rejected by Eric.
Several days, regarding suddenly were afterward many in Eric person. Originally already hurries back to Los Angeles in Canada shoots new season «X-Files» Famke Janssen specially, accompanied Eric to stay for several days, afterward was Jennifer Connelly, started to telephone frequently in Moroccan shoots «The Mummy» Nicole, thoughts keen Penélope became in front of Eric more mild-mannered, surroundings all people as if cautiously. Because originally the revelation removed small girl that the stock plan caused trouble is in Cliff Peak Manor lived directly, but also shouted Tina Fey and Claudia Schiffer together, secretly inquired in secret Eric must taste twin's taste. Joanna and Virginia also more than once hope that Eric can go to New York to live in some time, accompanies two kids.
Eric also knows the appearance why Jeffrey and the others as well as women can being critical situation, Hollywood contracts the psychological disease star proportion too to be really high . Moreover the situation that many people choose the affable at heart pressure is often violent, moreover these violent ways will usually cause the huge damage to my body and mind. Eric is pillar that Firefly is worthy of the reputation, if he had any condition, Firefly will quickly turn into a out of control the steamship, under the current this aspect, nobody hope to see this situation occurrence.
„I planned that New York lives in some time,” at the new week of high-level regular meeting, the Eric start to talk first few words said.
The Firefly management of full conference room hear these words, does not have the slight accident, instead relaxed, then nods to express the support in abundance.
Sees with own eyes nobody to oppose that Eric starts to discuss after he leaves the arrangement, summer the files passed, removes the stock also to settle down from Fox TV Network, at present the Firefly Pictures matter of primary importance is to purchasing ABC TV Network the preliminary layout, mainly includes to form the purchase team, the coordinated financing channel as well as buys in ABC TV Network stock gain preliminary right to speak and other matters concerned, since Michael Lynn has determined will leave next year, Eric did not have the scruples, plenary powers has given Katzenberg processing this matter.
Movie, majority of projects is carrying on methodically, these days of even if in Eric leaving will have any condition, at the worst comes back to carry on the correction again and that's the end. Recent movie 《Charlie's Angels》 script, acts the leading role in as well as Director as well as movie-making and other hosts created the team to determine that the remaining trivial matters do not need Eric excessively to meddle.( To be continued.)
