I’m in Hollywood

Chapter 720

On the weekend of two days, Eric and Chris discussed in detail the plan to enlarge the development prospects of the portal. On Monday, at the Firefly Investment Headquarters, a conference call between Nokia and Qualcomm was held. Chris personally rushed to Boston to start the layout.

The time is already May 29, and the first large-scale movie "Jurassic Park" of the Firefly Summer is scheduled to be released on June 2nd. Eric only needs to return to Los Angeles to participate in the premiere before this. You can also stay in New York for a few days.

May is the month of the new year's TV show promotion and ordering. Countless producers and TV stations gather in New York to market or buy new year TV shows.

The Firefly has three episodes of "Survivor", "Emergency Room Story" and "Friends", so it seems calm in the process of selecting a new drama. The TV department puts a lot of energy into the upcoming lietime expansion. On the TV station, in addition to the upcoming "National Supermodel Contest" and "Tianqiao Pride", lietime TV also ordered a good-quality female workplace TV series and several TV movies at the TV program promotion conference in May. Lietime TV also made a new arrangement for TV programs based on the episode release plan.

Eric's focus is on the "National Supermodel Contest" and "Tianqiao Pride" two reality shows.

The two reality shows have been prepared for a month and a half. In April, Cindy Crawford and Linda Ivangolinsta produced a detailed production plan with the help of the producers of the Survivor team. In May, both of them were busy with the preliminary preparations for the production of the show and the selection of the players. At this time, all the preliminary work is nearing completion.

"This is the official venue for the players. According to the script structure, I will announce the content of the game here at the beginning of each episode. The results of the second half of the show will also be produced here. The designer will sit in your position. Appreciate the fashion show of the models with the judges on the other side. In addition, there is a lounge behind, which can provide some footage of the players during the pre-game and waiting for the results..."

Abc was built in a studio in New York to build a simple fashion show, but there was no auditorium, only a pocket t-stage. There are simply a few chairs on either side of the t-stage. Linda Ivangolin Stad is standing on the side of the Eric and others who are sitting on the stage to demonstrate the program flow, which is the last work of Eric in New York. After confirming this, he is about to return to Los Angeles. .

Linda Ivangolinsta explained for a few minutes, then looked at the crowd. Waiting for Eric to speak.

Eric sat around Emily Brighton and Anne Sweeney, and some other assistants followed, and Cindy Crawford sat next to Emily. In order to demonstrate, several invited judges and producers responsible for "Tianqiao Pride" sat on the other side of the jury.

Ltd will sponsor these two reality shows to get a portion of the advertising. Anne Sweeney is the president of ae TV network, a brown-haired woman about 35 years old, Anne Sweeney was originally responsible for Disney TV, after determining the expansion plan of lietime TV, Kasenberg will be Annes Winnie was transferred to this side and was responsible for this.

The preliminary production plan was taken from the end of April. Eric has been following up on this matter. At this time, it is only a final check to ensure that all aspects are infallible, so there is not much problem.

Eric whispered a few words with Anne Sweeney and Emily, looking up at Linda Ivangolin Sta, saying: "Linda, is the wooden platform at your feet?"

Linda Ivangolinsta squatted, and the leather boots gently stepped on the t-stage, making a slamming sound of hitting the wood and nodding: "Yes."

Eric pointed to the screen that started at t. Smiled: "Then go and see me."

Linda Ivan Golinsta was a little confused, but obediently walked behind the screen and walked out with a catwalk.

As a result, a series of squeaking noises sounded in the hall.

Linda Ivangolinsta has not finished a one-way trip. Everyone has already discovered this problem. The sound and noise of the leather boots hitting the wooden platform are almost the same. If the audience suddenly hears these sounds during the program, it will definitely be very playful.

At the end of the t-stage, Linda Ivangolin Stad is embarrassed to go on, and take a light footstep to the position. Suddenly said: "Eric, I didn't think about this, we will replace this one as soon as possible."

Eric nodded and said to Emily and Annie: "I have no problem here, what about you?"

Emily shook her head. She mainly came to visit the details of the advertisements of the products of the company. For the production of the program, she was not good at it.

Anne Sweeney asked a few more questions in a row, until Linda Ivangolinsta almost showed an unrecognizable look, which made her look at Eric's face and let her go.

The woman executive who switched from Fox TV to abc a few years ago is also ambitious. She wants to rely on lietime TV to make a performance, in the hope of reaching Shirley Lansing, Amy Pascal, etc. The height of Hollywood women.

The former president of the ae television network was a member of the Hearst Group. After obtaining the controlling stake, Kasenberger adjusted the position and transferred Anne Sweeney to the Hearst Group for reasons. More control of the essence of female TV stations, of course, the actual situation everyone understands.

The purpose of stealing control in private is not mentioned at the moment. Eric also agrees with Kasenberg's resolution. Although there is not much information about Anne Sweeney in memory, Eric remembers vaguely. Anne Sweeney led a very famous TV series called "Desperate Housewives." From this point of view, she has a lot in common with Amy Pascal, who likes female movies, and she is responsible for the main women. The lietime TV station of the audience is really suitable.

In the morning, everyone walked through the major shooting scenes of "The Bridge of the Sky" and listened to Linda Ivangolinsta to explain the process in person. The afternoon event is of course the "American Supermodel Competition". .

The two reality shows have chosen Midtown Manhattan as the main shooting venue, and even the two apartments are separated by a street. Therefore, it doesn't take a lot of time to go on.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, all the work was finished. Emily, Anne Sweeney and others went home from work. Eric was stopped by Cindy Crawford.

"Eric. Is it free at night, how about dinner together?" Cindy Crawford said, and had already taken Eric's arm in front of her relatives.

Linda Ivangolinsta packed up her things and walked out of a dressing room, just to see this scene. The corner of his mouth smashed, and he walked over to Eric. He laughed and said: "Eric, since I want to have dinner, it is better for me to be together."

Eric joked: "Take both of you to the restaurant. I will be killed by my eyes."

"Then go to me, my cooking is not bad. By the way, I can continue to talk about the "American Supermodel Contest". I think that I have not done enough in many places," said Cindy Crawford.趁 Eric did not pay attention, and I went to Linda Ivan Golinsta to throw a threatening look, and then I was careful to cut off your appearance.

Linda Ivangoline Star was originally trying to ridicule, but Cindy Crawford’s eyes made her very uncomfortable, provocatively slamming the other arm of Eric. . Road: "Then go to Cindy, our good sisters haven't gathered for a long time."

Cindy Crawford couldn't help it anymore, reaching out from behind Eric and gently licking it between Linda Ivangoline Sta.

"Ah, it hurts," Linda Ivangolinsta snorted and immediately became tearful and grievously complained to Eric: "Eric, Cindy, she yells at me."

It took two hours to drive back to East Hampton from Manhattan, and Eric had planned to stay in the city. At this time, the beauty was invited, but of course he was disrespectful. He reached out and grabbed Linda? Ivan Gorysta’s little waist appeasefully shot: "Well, go to Cindy. If you go, let her do it." Let us eat something, if you don't go, I will invite you to dinner next time I come to New York."

"Okay, I am listening to you," Linda Ivangolin Stapled said. Her voice is not a doll sound, a little hoarse, but with a kind of teenage girl's innocence, very tasteful.

See Linda Ivangolinst said that Cindy Crawford could only glance at her, but there was no way to refute Eric’s decision.

A few people went downstairs and went to the parking lot. They squeezed into the Cindy Crawford sedan. Cindy Crawford’s apartment was in the Upper East Side. Although it was not far away, it took about 10 minutes to get off work. By car.

Realizing that the plan must be smashed by Linda Ivangoline, Cindy Crawford decisively focused on the "American Supermodel Contest" while driving and talking to Eric Road. "Eric, what do you think we are going to do?"

"It's all very good, I am looking forward to seeing the results of your work." After a tired day, Eric did not have much energy to talk about it, but simply answered one. In fact, in the process of follow-up, he has already had a very deep assessment of the two programs.

The "American Supermodel Contest" program, which Cindy Crawford is responsible for, is relatively unconstrained and has many details of ghosts and horses. And very much pay attention to the interaction between the host and the player, her personal playing time is also more. Relatively speaking, the model of "Tianqiao Pride" is relatively fixed. Each set is 43 minutes, divided into several fixed program modules, and more emphasis is placed on demonstrating the player's ability.

Eric is satisfied with the results of their work, and can't say who is good or who is bad. What's more, he didn't want the two programs to be exactly the same.

Linda Ivangolinsta listened to her ears and saw that Eric didn't say too much. She thought of another thing and asked: "Eric, the second season of "The Survivor" has just ended. I heard that the final collection has reached the scale of 50 million. How much can abc earn from this program?"

Eric shook his head and smiled. "This is a secret inside the company. I can't tell you. However, as long as the program in your hands reaches the height of one tenth of the survivors, it is enough to fill your baby." full."

In fact, Eric is not very clear about the specific income of the survivor in the second quarter. Now the second season has just been broadcasted, as long as the initial advertising revenue data, according to abc statistics, "survivor" second quarter The average advertising revenue per episode has reached $27 million, and the single-season advertising revenue exceeds 350 million. The production cost of each episode of Survivor is only about 5 million. After the release of video tapes and syndicates, the fireflies can at least get more than ten times the income.
