I’m in Hollywood

Eric said: "According to my recent concern, after the second round of harvesting in Southeast Asia in the first half of the year, major hedge funds have already shifted their targets to the ruble. Once the ruble falls, outside of Southeast Asia, Russia is the last one. Emerging economies in recent years will also be destroyed, the European economy will be a stagnant water, the US dollar will start a rate hike cycle, the Nasdaq market will flourish, and the trillions of capital that will be withdrawn from Southeast Asian countries will flow to where. There seems to be no suspense. In my opinion, the Nasdaq 2000 is just the beginning."

As the president of Morgan Stanley, John Mark has a very deep insight into the world economic situation. He also understands why Eric mentions the ruble.

Although the future of technology stocks is also very optimistic, at this time, John Mark still retorted: "Eric, this is just your point of view. Many people just think that the Russian economy is recovering and it is a very good investment target. As far as I know, Mr. Soros has invested a large part of Southeast Asia's earnings in the Russian stock and bond markets. The technology stock market-earnings ratio of the Nasdaq market has generally reached an unbearable level. In the past, any bull market has been crazy. We are now buying AOL stocks, but we have to take a lot of risks."

When Eric met with Soros last year, he knew that he had invested heavily in Russia. He also discussed this with Soros.

However, Eric did not intend to convince John? Mark, just said: "John, this is my attitude. I do not intend to make any concessions on the US online stock transfer price, you only have one month, one After the month, Firefly Investment will launch a public reduction program. I believe that AOL’s share price will rise to another level in the next month. Maybe the market value will break through 50 billion US dollars. Although AOL’s P/E ratio is indeed high, he The revenue and growth rate are very good. For many investors, this company is still a valuable investment target. I am not worried that no one will buy stocks sold by fireflies."

"But, Eric, you are not good for everyone. The stake in Firefly Investment is too large. Even if you reduce your holdings by 1% every month, it will take three years. Only we have enough strength to take you. The stock in hand is the next."

The Internet bubble can be supported for up to two years at most, and Eric never thought about reducing the AOL stocks and not intending to sell them to the secondary market.

He is now the first to compare with other AOL shareholders who can't help but make concessions.

If AOL’s share price begins to fall, it is naturally impossible for other shareholders to easily agree to Eric’s request, but the current situation is that the stock price has risen. The higher the stock price rises, in order to hold the profits already obtained

Benefit, the more likely other shareholders will not hold.

John Mark and Eric repeatedly discussed for more than half an hour. Seeing Eric’s resolute attitude, he had to be disappointed to leave.

Sending away John Mark, Eric and the twins greeted each other and went upstairs alone, intending to take a shower first.

In the bones, this is a loved one. In a familiar environment, Eric naturally relaxes a lot, lying in the big bathtub of the shell villa bathroom, and I have been soaking for a long time, even some sleepy.

The bathroom door was suddenly pushed open, and the smudges wearing a light blue T-shirt and white slacks sneaked in, and the clothes went straight into the big bathtub without being taken off, and it was a mess in the Eric. kiss.

Eric let him indulge in the gimmick for a while, feeling that after Ni Ni kissed, he gently squatted on his neck, and then he reached out and took off some light clothes on his **** and dropped it. .

After a while, holding a soft and slender body in his arms, the skin is facing, Eric only side of the neck, smiled and said softly: "Well, don't squat again, with a circle on the neck. Let me see people."

Shantou seems to suddenly suddenly realize that the white neck is close to Eric's mouth: "Eric, you can help me bite."

Eric escaped and said: "Do not bite, you become a vampire, my identity can be exposed, will be burned to death."

"Oh," Shantou laughed for a while, feeling that Eric had a reaction, and he didn't care if he was sitting in the bathtub, regardless of the ground, and then he was soft on Eric, a kitten-like slap. "Eric, I miss you very much."

Eric grabbed the little waist of Shantou and said, "I miss you too."

When I left New York half a month ago, Eric had never had a woman. At this time, with the same tempting gimmicks, the two men tossed for a long time, and changed clothes to go downstairs. It was already 8 o'clock in the evening, and the twins were already ready. Good dinner.

Did not dine in the restaurant, the two placed a small table by the poolside pool, sitting opposite, accompanied by the cool breeze of Los Angeles summer night, while eating and chatting about what happened recently.

"I went to Washington last week. I saw that the President vowed to swear in court that he had not had anything to do with the intern. It was really a laugh. There were several people around me who almost laughed."

During this time, the most lively and current events of concern to the whole people are undoubtedly the zipper door. In order to win the seat of the US Central Committee for the midterm elections, Clinton’s political enemies seized this matter and chased it. extraordinary.

However, listening to Shantou's small gloating scene, Eric put down the red wine in his hand, picked up the knife and fork, and couldn't help but smile: "You are really boring, and went to Washington to see the president's joke. ”

"I didn't have that leisure time. It was for the TV license. We are going to add a sub-channel to E! Entertainment."

Eric smiled and said: "Then you shouldn't even go to the president's joke, be careful that he wears us shoes."

"No, Amy said that it is the best time to apply for a photo. The President is in need of support at this time, and he dares to offend us."

With the integration of the American media group, the power of Hollywood is also growing stronger. If you can have a good relationship with Hollywood, no politician will do the opposite.

Eric just nodded with a smile, no longer mentioning this matter, and then asked: "How is the midnight sale of "Charlie's Angel 3"?"

Shantou knows why Eric will ask this question: "It is estimated that it can break through 10 million US dollars. It is definitely no problem to exceed "Matrix 2". "Matrix 2" has a drop of 53% this weekend. Zhou "Qiao Jiaowa 3" is not a threat."

Eric just came back in the afternoon and still don't know the status of box office data last weekend. However, listening to Shantou said so, my heart also completely relaxed.

This week, only Disney’s family-friendly low-cost comedy "Born Pair" was released. It can be said that it will not cause any impact on "Matrix 2", but the film's decline is still more than 50%. Imagine the next step. For "Jiao Jiaowa", "The Matrix 2" will only be more ugly.

After all, it was from the Firefly Group series. Eric was not too schaden. Even Carson Berg asked Enric if he wanted to do something to limit the announcement of "Matrix 2", which was rejected by Eric. .

The next day was Wednesday, perhaps because John Mark was rejected by Eric. Some shareholders of AOL considered the impact of the large-scale public reduction of firefly investment on the stock price, and chose to advance in advance. Selling cash.

However, the management and its supporters led by Steve Case also chose to enter the market to maintain the stock price. After a large decline in the morning, the stock price was quickly pulled up.

After a full day of shocks, the closing price of AOL was still successfully maintained at a high of $261.33, and the market value remained above $43 billion.

By Thursday, although the US online stock price continued to fluctuate throughout the day, the stock price rose strongly by 1.6% at the close of the day.

Throughout the process, although all media are still most concerned about the response of the largest shareholder of Firefly Investment, since the Chris trio announced their resignation as AOL director at the press conference last week, the Firefly system executives have no more Post any public views.

Even the media of the Firefly system, the news about AOL is basically a well-known news release.

However, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, although most of the people who participated in the video conference last week wanted to conceal the news that the firefly investment attempted to reduce 10% of AOL shares at one time, but the relevant information is inevitably leaked. However, it was not officially confirmed that the formal media chose a cautious attitude and did not publicly report.

As for the Internet platform with the most free information dissemination, the top three Internet portals, the first two are just ‘party’. No matter whether it is Yahoo or AOL, it is impossible to let any similar news spread, so there is no storm.

After the failure of the contact between John Mark and Eric, all aspects also fell into a temporary stalemate and wait-and-see state.

Eric also gradually abandoned the influence of AOL, returned to Los Angeles, and checked the rough cut effect of Jos Verden on Iron Man. Eric began to formally prepare for gravity. The start of the shoot.

From now until the end of next year, although there is a full year, "gravity" will involve a lot of new shooting and special effects technology, but also take into account the promotion of 3D and IMAX projections, carefully calculated, A year and a half is not too loose.

However, before that, Eric first wanted to participate in the premiere of "Devil's Baby 3" held in Los Angeles on Thursday.

Last year's "Royal Casino of 007" officially opened the MGM movie universe and after its success, as the first special movie movie cosmic movie after "Royal Casino 007", "Charlie's Angel 3" was brought together. The three major agents have a strong expectation from countless fans.

Although it is the shallowest in the three series, it is a female action film with natural disadvantages. However, after several years of all-round operation, the popularity of the "Jianjiao" series is not weaker than the other two.

Even since Eric had designed a very complete story background for "Jiaojiaowa" from the beginning, through the form of surrounding comics, the three protagonist-related story lines brought a series of foreshadowings that fans would like to talk about. Unconsciously condensing the attention of fans, the core fan group of "Jiaojiao" series far exceeds the other two

Kevin Costner, the actor in the "Mission of the Mission" series, will also appear in this film.

After the "Dance with the Wolf", most of Kevin Costner's works outside the "Mission Impossible" series ended in failure. The box office of "Future Water World" was defeated and even destroyed his acting career. The recent replacement of Mel Gibson's "Patriot" is not a slap in the face, which makes Kevin Costner increasingly aware of the importance of "Mission Impossible" to him.

Last year, Eric’s strong posture in the process of Pears Bruce South’s remuneration negotiations also made Kevin Costner’s attitude towards the negotiation of the film and the cross-collection of the agents’ film universe not so strong.

In this "Charlie's Angel 3", Kevin Costner only paid $5 million in pay.

Although the other party insisted that their play in this film should not exceed five minutes, it is enough to completely connect the three series.

At the same time, the production budget of "Jiaojiao 3" not only reached the top three series of the current maximum of 160 million US dollars, the film is more powerful in the declaration, just GM, it is the joint promotion of its Buick brand and "Jiaojiao 3" Investing a $100 million advertising budget, MGM's own advertising budget has reached 50 million US dollars. In total, the film's production and publicity is close to 300 million US dollars, even more than three years ago, "Titanic."

Buick is undoubtedly the most successful advertising cooperation brand of "Jiaojiao 3".

Although this time invested a $100 million brand joint advertising budget, and in the early stage also paid to MGM's record-breaking $30 million in advertising costs, but as a global Volkswagen brand with annual sales of more than 2 million units, Buick’s gains far outweigh the costs it pays.

It was just launched last year for the young people group price of about 30,000 to 50,000 US dollars, "Charlie's baby" with the Buick sports car, the annual sales exceeded 160,000 units, this alone increased the GM to more than 6 billion US dollars Turnover.

According to an article published in BusinessWeek magazine, in recent years, the direct economic benefits of the Charlie's series to Buick are equivalent to 12 times the profits of the film to MGM. The potential brand value-adding effect is even more limitless.

In recent years, several major automakers in Europe and Asia have tried to compete for this branding opportunity. The price tag is not lower than Buick. It is only for all cautious considerations that MGM chose to refuse.

The Los Angeles Premiere of "Charlie's Angel 3" began at five o'clock in the afternoon, but since the day before, a large number of fans have gathered near the Chinese Grand Theatre.

By the afternoon of Thursday, hundreds of meters of streets near the theater were already crowded with fanatical crowds, and Eric himself was shocked when he got off the red carpet entrance with his hoe.
