Both John and his wife are ordinary salarymen, busy with work all day long, and rarely pay attention to entertainment news. ? To read the book However, they also know what Eric Williams' new film represents.
Glancing at his eager daughter, John asked, "Mr. Rich, can we ask what role it is?"
"There are not many scenes for the role of a tennis girl," Peter Rich introduced simply and clearly without hiding anything. He looked at Miranda Kerr and asked, "Miss Kerr, do you know how to play tennis?"
Miranda Kerr paused, then finally shook her head and said, "No, but Mr. Rich, I can learn. I learn things very quickly."
Peter Rich smiled, and looked at Miranda Kerr's parents again.
John and his wife looked at each other, and then asked: "Mr. Rich, you mean, it's just a small role with not many shots, right?"
"Yes," Peter Rich nodded, and said, "Although the role is small and there are no lines. But appearing in a world-class influential movie like 007 will be very beneficial to Miss Kerr's future development. Of course, the premise is that Ms. Ke'er intends to enter the modeling or show business circle in the future."
The task Eric gave him was to transfer this opportunity to Miranda Kerr and his family, it didn't matter whether it was successful or not, and he didn't ask Peter Rich to do anything superfluous, so Peter Rich didn't hide it at all. The insignificance of this small character.
Of course, as a professional elite with outstanding IQ, he also observed at this time that in the small family in front of him, the husband and wife obviously did not have much opinion, but the daughter named Miranda Kerr was shrewd. Xiao Zhan, in order to behave decently in front of him, when he was talking with his parents, he obviously wanted to interrupt, but the girl endured it.
After listening to his words, John and his wife showed hesitation on their faces. Australia's summer vacation is between December and February, and their daughter is about to start school soon, and the couple both need to be busy with work. They neither want to delay their daughter's studies, nor are they willing to delay their work and take their daughter to Hollywood for a small role.
After hesitating for a moment, John looked at his daughter next to him and asked, "Miranda, what do you think?"
Miranda Kerr saw her father finally remembering to ask herself, she couldn't wait to look at Peter Rich, and said, "Mr. Rich, in this movie, can I see Mr. Williams in person?"
"Of course," Peter Rich nodded.
Miranda Kerr unconsciously twisted her waist, sat up straight, and asked a little shyly: "Mr. Williams saw me in the "Dolly" magazine, what does he... think of me? "
Peter Rich raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "I don't know how to answer this question, you can only ask the boss himself. Do you want to read a book?"
"Then, after participating in this movie, can I get other roles in the future?"
Peter Rich said: "As long as you perform well enough, you will definitely get a lot of opportunities."
Miranda Kerr blinked her beautiful eyes, and asked again: "If, um, if I want to move to New York, or Los Angeles, can Mr. Williams help me?"
"It's also beyond my ability to answer you." Peter Rich shook his head and said, "If you have such a wish, I can help you convey it to the boss."
Miranda Kerr saw a few questions from herself, and the answers she got were somewhat ambiguous. She realized that the guy in front of her didn't have much right to speak, thought for a while, and said, "Since Mr. Williams read it from "Dolly" magazine As for me, he should be in Australia recently, can I meet him?"
"The boss has returned to America," Peter Rich said truthfully.
Miranda Kerr finally let out a disappointment.
Although she had already made up her mind that she would never give up this opportunity, the girl was very smart and didn't agree immediately, she just said that the family needed to discuss it.
Seeing off Peter Rich, Thales, the mother who hadn't spoken during the conversation just now, looked at her daughter who couldn't wait to snatch the contact information left by Peter Rich in her hands, and said, "Miranda, I think you are still Too small, better not to…”
Miranda Kerr raised her head, interrupted her mother's words, and said, "No, Mom, I've already decided, I want to play this role."
John also seemed helpless to this precocious and assertive daughter, saying, "But, this matter is different from going to magazines, you still have to go to school."
"Isn't the purpose of going to school to find a job in the future? Since I can have a very good job now, why should I look far away," Miranda Kerr immediately retorted sharply.
John was a little speechless by his daughter's rebuttal, so he had to look at his wife again.
Thales thought more carefully, and said: "It's not easy to be an actor. You haven't even taken an acting class. It's okay to play some small roles. It's not easy to be a professional actor."
"Hey, Mom," Miranda Kerr shook the card with the email address and long-distance phone number in her hand, and said, "Do you know who Eric Williams is? He is the largest media group in the world. My master, as long as he can help me, I can get any kind of role. ??? ? "
Hearing his daughter's words, John frowned, changed to a purely male perspective, and said, "Then why do you think Eric Williams wants to help you?"
Miranda Kerr hugged a pillow on the sofa, rolled her eyes, giggled, and said, "What else can it be, just like those boys in our school who always peek at me, Hmph, those brats, I don't bother to talk to them."
Every father would not be in a good mood when he heard that a man wanted to hit his daughter, John immediately raised his eyebrows and said: "Then I can't let you act in this movie, you are just a child now. "
"I'm not a kid," Miranda Kerr straightened up, "and I've already decided. Even if you object, I'm going."
Seeing his daughter talking back to him, John was even more upset, and his tone became a little more irritable. He raised his voice and said, "You can't go anywhere without the guardian's consent."
Miranda Kerr shrank her neck, also aware of the problem, and immediately looked at her mother, but Thales just leaned closer to her husband.
"Then, I'll go to the countryside to find grandma, and she can also be my guardian."
"Your grandma won't even agree," John dropped this sentence, too lazy to say anything to the disobedient daughter, got up and walked outside.
Seeing the back of her father leaving, the girl felt a pang of grievance, and said loudly: "Then I will go by myself, anyway, you can't tie me up at home."
John just snorted softly, slammed the door and left without looking back.
Thales, who was still in the living room, saw his daughter tearing up, and his mind suddenly softened. He came over and hugged her, and comforted her: "Okay, baby, your father is doing it for you too."
Miranda Kerr, who didn't intend to cry at first, realized that her mother should be the breakthrough point of this matter, so she burst into tears, leaned into Thales' arms sobbing, and said, "But, Mom, I don't want to Let go of this opportunity."
Thales patted his daughter's back distressedly, and said, "Don't cry, baby, you are still young, and there will be many opportunities in the future."
"No, definitely not, you, woo... You can definitely hear it just now, Peter Rich's tone is very indifferent, they don't care whether I will accept this opportunity, they can find a lot The candidate, but for me, the opportunity may only be this one time. If I miss it, how could a big man like Eric Williams notice me. "
Thales said: "You, didn't you just say it yourself, that, Eric Williams, must not be so pure in your mind."
"I'm just talking casually," the girl immediately changed her words, and said, "Mom, think about it, Eric Williams' "Jurassic Park" won a global box office of 1 billion US dollars. Well, how could such a super director be so unprofessional, he must have thought that I was suitable for the role in the movie, so he sent the invitation."
"But… "
Thales wanted to say something, but was interrupted by his daughter's voice, saying: "Mom, if you are worried, you can go with me. Since I am not yet an adult, they will definitely invite my parents to accompany me."
Thales' tone became looser, and he said, "I think it's better to discuss this with your father again, and if you really want to go, it's more appropriate for your father to accompany you."
Miranda Kerr didn't know when she stopped crying, she still leaned in her mother's arms and said coquettishly: "No, I want my mother to go with me, I don't want to take my father."
Thales almost fell backwards because of the small head of his daughter against his body, Thales completely changed his position and said: "Okay, but your father is angry now, I will discuss it with him at night, and you should not talk to him again." Your dad talks back."
"Well, I remember."
Miranda Kerr nodded quickly, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and two cute dimples appeared on her face.
Finally, I can go to Australia immediately.
God knows how boring this place is, even in the city, there are not as many people as there are snakes.
As long as she can become famous, she can definitely leave here easily. Although she is very self-aware that she is more suitable to be a model, as long as she has the opportunity, whether she is an actor or a model, the result is actually the same.
Thinking of New York, Los Angeles and other international metropolises, the girl became even more excited.
After performing a full set of plays and acting coquettishly around her mother for a while, Miranda Kerr got up and went into her own small room, and began to think about how to contact Eric Williams, preferably in advance. Fight for something.
The contact number left by Peter Rich is an overseas number, which is very expensive, and it is impossible to make overseas calls from her home phone.
However, e-mail is different.
Although it has just become popular in recent years, and there is no avant-garde thing like a computer at home, she has seen how to send emails at a classmate's house. It is very simple and fast, and it can convey many things at once. .
She quickly made a decision to carefully prepare an e-mail to send to Peter Rich to be forwarded to Eric Williams.
Well, how should I write it, what should I say to attract the attention of the big man more.
This should be carefully considered.
…
Eric's Gulfstream private business jet left Australia, refueled once through Hawaii, and then flew directly to New York on the east coast of the United States.
In addition to Hollywood's tedious work affairs, there are two other things in January that Eric needs to pay close attention to. They are the listing of Nokia shares on the US stock market on January 22, and the official listing of AOL on Nasdaq on January 29. Market listing.
In 1995, Nokia achieved sales of 7 million mobile phones and 600,000 sets of mobile communication base stations.
Even when most of the profits were immediately invested in company expansion, Nokia still achieved a net profit balance of US$60 million in 1995.
Therefore, Nokia is simply listing on the U.S. stock market this time to realize the circulation of the company's shares in the U.S. market and plan for further financing in the future, but there is no plan to issue new shares yet.
Although Nokia's mobile phone sales were still in the millions in the past few years, Eric clearly remembers that in the next few years, with the rapid development of mobile communications and the popularization of communication charges, Nokia's mobile phone business will explode. In the original time and space, in 1998, Nokia not only successfully surpassed Motorola, but also took the lead in achieving the feat of accumulatively producing 100 million mobile phones.
Therefore, if Nokia needs to carry out the next financing plan, the best time is also after 1998.
Before that, Firefly Investment can still firmly control the absolute controlling stake in Nokia, and even if it is time for the next financing, with Nokia's excellent performance, it will have enough confidence to issue new shares with low voting rights to prevent the company from Loss of control.
Although Nokia's listing was very low-key, and even Eric just made a few phone calls back in Australia to express his congratulations and did not attend in person, the market is still very enthusiastic about the listing of Nokia's stock in the United States.
Relying on the generally high performance expectations of major investment institutions for Nokia in 1996, Nokia's stock price soared by 8.1% on the day of listing, and its market value easily reached 6.8 billion US dollars. This also makes Eric's $420 million investment three years ago appreciate more than eight times.
On the other hand, America Online is also a very important piece in Eric's industrial layout.
Although he did not attend the listing ceremony of Nokia, since he returned from Australia ahead of schedule, Eric flew directly to New York to participate in the AOL IPO activities. (To be continued.)
