Has met too many about the charitable broken matter, regardless of previous life this life, Eric is dull to this topic interest pleasure, Tom Murphy also felt Eric the mood, therefore shifted other topics, said: „Eric, I heard that the «Jurassic Park» sequel has been arranging, don't you plan to continue to hold the post of Director really?”
Since became the Firefly shareholder, «Jurassic Park» this involving the number counted the USD benefit by 1 billion the movie project also has become the Buffett attention object, heard the old friend to mention this matter, Buffett also echoed saying: „Eric, the «Jurassic Park» such important project, I thought that you personally control to finally well, I think that anybody does not hope saw this movie the sequel presents the mistake.”
Eric also expected that Firefly introduces other shareholder meetings to have this situation, but, after his inverse image space and time Michael Eisner such does not purchase ABC, carries out individual will obstinately forcefully, eventually causes profit ABC to fall into the loss quickly once more.
Firefly development until now degree, Eric knew that absolutely is not he can control, therefore deals with the relations with the shareholder and management became important. Therefore, hears the suggestions of two old man, Eric explains patiently: „I will hold the post of the «Jurassic Park» sequel as before Producer, moreover on the Director candidate I also very prudent consideration, to guarantee absolutely safe of this project. However, then at least one year, I will place ABC content production more energy, although ABC had obtained the North America market share first good achievements last year, but I discovered after «Growing Pains» terminates, ABC several years had not presented the TV series of any phenomenon level.”
Hears the plan of Eric, nod that Tom Murphy understands, said: „I heard that Firefly has taken back 《Friends》 copyright?”
„Yes.” Eric noted Tom Murphy to continue anything, then said: „But, «File» and «1 million Wealthy man» two grades of programs initially were Firefly and Fox together developed to share copyright. These two grades of programs could not take carry back.”
„Probably also «Buffy the Vampire Slayer», heard that this TV series has caused very big reaction in the young people community.” Buffett inserts the tastes suddenly, was saying also slightly shook the head, in the expression is having some regrets, said: „Eric, you were generous to Fox TV Network.”
„Because at that time Firefly and Fox were the partners,” Eric was perfunctory at will, said: „But, except for 《Friends》. I am ABC choose good TV series, at present has been manufacturing, next month can see to test broadcasting the collection.”
„Oh,” Tom Murphy came the interest, pursues asks: „What type TV series is?”
„A medical play,” Eric said: „Named «ER», if you are interested, I will make the person deliver a story program tomorrow to you.”
„This does not use but actually,” Tom Murphy shakes the head: „I anticipated that can the earliest possible time see to test broadcasting the collection.”
„Does not have the issue, after completing, I can the earliest possible time invite your. Warren, if interested, you when the time comes can also come to see together.”
„If can find the time. I will come,” Buffett said: „Moreover, Eric, since «1 million Wealthy man» cannot take carry back, why you no longer do form in one's mind grade of similar Reality Show?”
Eric said with a smile: „Had, Firefly bought Reality Show to form in one's mind from a United Kingdom program Producer hand last month, named «Survivor», is improving at present still the specific detail of program, it is expected that in the fall the files can also promote with 《Friends》 and «ER».”
Although famous Reality TV Show «Survivor» in original space and time promoted in CBS TV Station until 2000. But in fact presented the idea in 1994, but had not been accepted by North America TV Network.
Many audiences discovered that the major TV Station always customs of United States rescreen or the purchase already in the television programs of other countries. Therefore frequently takes this point to tease the United States person deficient creativity, but the fact is not true.
United States several Major TV Network. Every week usually promotes during the day and prime time amounts to more than 90 hours of television programs, but these most important is the value is also highest, actually be only every night three hours( Sunday are four hours) each week amount to 22 hours of prime time programs, because program public TV Network each area often respectively has various program arrangements during the day, attached TV Station also acts according to own situation arrangement program to list. But the daily prime time, is actually hundreds of child TV Network of main TV Network as well as on all fronts broadcasts, this also means that the prime time each program must undergo strict screening to broadcast finally, after all, a grade of television program, once establishes, is impossible to broadcast 12 volumes because the viewing ratio accepts a lower status reduces immediately, because of contract and other factor limits, even if the viewing ratio throws the street, after that also needs to broadcast six volumes of reservation, can stop broadcasting, once this is the situation appears, TV Network because the failure of this grade of program will lose the large amount advertising expenditure. Therefore, from belonging to English cultural circle introduction had proven the television program of its reception potential, undoubtedly most has one procedure of safeguard.
Eric collection program creativity time, «Survivor» inventor Charlie Parsons sells this own creativity to United Kingdom and United States major TV Station, but, was rejected without exception completely, Eric had discovered after this creativity, making the Firefly TV series production unit sell outright this grade of program creativity copyright secretly completely.
However, in program form and Eric memory of Charlie Parsons idea compares very roughly, Eric has been making the Firefly production unit continue to improve this project recently.
Buffett and Tom Murphy hear of Eric said simply the general idea of «Survivor», Buffett thought this grade of program is very interesting, has worked dozens years of Tom Murphy actually to see in the videoland «Survivor» subverts the traditional idea, commended again and again.
Eric has not displayed too many self-satisfacations to the commendation of Tom Murphy actually, after all, in this world most does not lack is the creativity, let alone the «Survivor» program creativity definitely also underwent the verification of original ABC production unit, was not thrown in some corner accidentally at will. Reason that Tom Murphy so. What are more is Eric creates corona in addition that a series of success programs have created to hold personally, like any movie project that he settles on now, will receive attaching great importance to of Hollywood with competing to be the same.
„Warren. Tom, a matter. I want to notify you ahead of time,” has drunk under several champagne moistened the throat, Eric said to Buffett and Tom Murphy: „I planned that strips completely newspaper and magazine of company.”
Buffett hears these words, immediately frowned slightly, Tom Murphy asked: „Eric, why must such do, these newspaper continually are gaining in recent years, I could not see that it is necessary that anything must strip. Moreover these can newspaper happen to expand the Firefly media influence?”
According to the historical process, the Internet upsurge will enter the explosion stroke next year, although the present paper media are still in very important status in the media industry, but Eric actually clearly remembers that along with rising of Internet new media, these paper media will quickly turn into the phoenix that falls the wool, the value is the straight line falls, was in the world 500 strong traditional paper media groups basically unable to escape the property large shrinkage in 20th century beginning the destiny.
Now official paper media most valuable time, Eric naturally must seize the chance to leverage: „Tom, I did not deny these newspaper values. However, the Firefly management center of gravity on these, Firefly will not have managed in the future places the movie and television service with emphasis grows in the industry extremely. Therefore I planned that strips these properties,” was saying Eric looks to Buffett: „Warren, I know that you have regarded as important the newspaper service very much, if Berkshire is interested in these properties, perhaps we can find the time to chat, I will give a quite reasonable price.”
This is one is willing to hit one to be willing to suffer, Eric supplements to say at heart, if Buffett will discover in the future one by pit, that could not complain about itself.
Berkshire Hathaway has including «The Washington Post» many newspaper stocks. Buffett because of the newspaper boy energy of childhood, was maintaining to the strong investment interest of newspaper profession.
However. Buffett is very clear, that several newspaper properties of original metropolis company do not have 1 billion USD unable to take absolutely. But Buffett had own plan to ten hundred million USD funds that leveraged from this transaction, he planned other mansion employee insurance company stock total revenue pouches of Berkshire, in the Berkshire short-term was impossible to collect ten hundred million USD to buy these newspaper again.
Moreover, although the Eric expression is sincere, Buffett keenly felt that some differences, this makes him also discrete: „Eric, if you can wait for one year, Berkshire did not mind that takes these newspaper, the fund that but now, Berkshire re-steams through this purchase had other uses, I could not have put out enough cash.”
„Has not related,” a Eric as before very honest younger generation appearance: „Firefly at present to the demand of fund is not that intense, therefore Berkshire can definitely pay for this acquisition charges with the stock.”
At present the Berkshire Hathaway stock price is two ten thousand USD about, although this is the North America highest stock price, but Eric actually knows that the next several years, the Berkshire stock price will rise steadily to 20 ten thousand USD astonishing prices, even if at this time sells 1 billion USD these newspaper, more than ten years later again hands over is 10 billion.
Always hears Eric to mention that in Buffett that in stock sell and transfer do not lift a finger to help this plan, immediately from discretely becomes vigilant, shakes the head saying: „Eric, Berkshire will not use the stock merger and acquisition purchase company, perhaps you can relate other media groups.”
Eric shakes the head regrettably: „Good, if Berkshire has the wish of taking over, can call me at any time.”
„My meeting,” Buffett nods, then has referred to not far away, said: „Eric, I saw an old friend, I must say good bye now.”
Buffett said that but also signaled with the eyes toward starting to speak but hesitating Tom Murphy, Tom Murphy has then swallowed the words that wanted to speak, got out of the way with Warren Buffett together.
Gazes after two old man to leave, Eric looked at the watch, is a afternoon o'clock, looked at all around, found the Jeffrey form, walked.
Sees Eric to enter, just toward Eric lifted raising glass with a middle-aged person who Jeffrey spoke, the politeness got out of the way.
Jeffrey asked: „Was Eric, what just chatting with them?”
„Some programs matter,” Eric said: „Jeffrey, today is the birthdays of two kids, I must go to Eath Hampton, do you also together come?”
Jeffrey shook the head, smiles the rejection saying: „Unconscious two kid one year old, I under and others made the secretary help to select the different birthday present to send to them, does not celebrate a birthday party is the matters of your young people, I do not pass.”
Eric said: „Together goes, Chris and Emily will also pass today, perhaps you can also with they chat the wedding and so on matter.”
„Their two,” on the Jeffrey face show the helpless look, but has considered, said: „Good.”
„I go they to greet with Katzenberg, the helicopter should in rooftop, you be able to pass now first.”
......
Long Island Eath Hampton school of traces of spring of April abundant, to the person a full of vitality feeling, the helicopter falls in the Eath Hampton seaside manor lawn slowly, Eric supported by the arm Jeffrey to alight from the airplane, had confessed pilot several, the helicopter left once more.
Joanna and Virginia also led a troop person to welcome at this time, before two women telephoned to Eric mentioned two kid year of birthday party the time, hopes that can invite some guests to come, Eric can also realize that two thoughts of women, they do not hope two kids maintained the unknown illegitimate child conditions, Eric has not wanted pair of children's a status to the thoughts that kept secret, therefore then complied.
At this time walks more than ten people, besides holding Joanna and Virginia of two kids, Chris as well as Emily, Eric also saw Elizabeth and Drew, but two females leave by far. Moreover, Eric also saw Virginia elder brother Michael Madsen, depends on the tall and slender woman in Michael Madsen 30 year, Joanna younger sister Ewa Pacula, person Eric some in addition too have not known.( To be continued.)
