After ordering the secretary to make two cups of coffee, Eric took Kris Jenner into the office.
Kris Jenner sat across from the desk under Eric's gesture, watched him sit opposite, lowered her head and opened a document in front of her and read it, feeling a little restrained suddenly.
Eric called her 'Ms. Jenna' just now, which is different from the enthusiasm when we met last time. Although it is guessed that Eric probably didn't notice these details, she didn't know for a while whether she should go straight to her. Call Eric's name.
The secretary came in with two cups of coffee, and Kris Jenner thanked her. Seeing that Eric was still thinking about it, after thinking about it, he took out the script of "Beverly Girls" from his satchel and pressed it on his knee. Showing a smile, he greeted: "Eric, recently, um, how is it?"
After a busy week, the heroine of "Iron Man" was decided first today, and it finally fell on Brigitte Fonda.
Although "Ghost Love" once pushed Bridget Fonda to the position of Hollywood's first-line actress, but after all, it was seven years ago. Although Bridget Fonda has never been short of film contracts in recent years, her popularity has gradually declined because she has never encountered such a hit movie as "Ghostly Love", so she finally decided to accept "Iron Man". "The role of Chili Pepper. Once, the heroine of "Ghost Love" played the role of Iron Man's assistant Pepper. Both parties should say that they can get what they need. Bridget Fonda can regain the top position with this big-budget movie, and Firefly can also make up for the actor status. Insufficient on.
It is definitely impossible to choose the hero of "Iron Man" from the first-line superstars. In order to make up for the lack of popularity of the hero, Eric plans to work more on the supporting role according to the way of Marvel. Many supporting characters in Marvel movies are 'one-off', especially villains, so if you do this, you don't have to worry about any trouble starting the sequel.
In addition to Brigitte Fonda playing Pepper, the villain of the first "Iron Man", Eric still intends to invite Jeff Bridges. Although Jeff Bridges did not get the Oscar statuette until 2010 in the original time and space, just like Al Pacino, he now has three Oscar nominations, which can be said to be a real acting school . Moreover, Eric happened to find out that the anti-genre classic "Murder Lebowski" that earned Jeff Bridges the title of "The Governor" has just finished filming in the first half of this year, and it will be released around next year. By then, Jeff Bridges is sure to take his popularity to another level.
While thinking about these things, Eric came back to his senses when he heard Kris Jenner's voice, looked up at the other party, smiled, and said, "Recently, you must have heard about it, it's a mess. "
Kris Jenner smiled approvingly, and complimented: "I don't know how many people envy your 'messy' life." So saying, Kris Jenner will "Beverly Girls" The script was handed over to Eric: "This is the "Beverly Girls" script we made, and there are four girls' personal information in it, you can take a look first."
Unlike competitive reality shows, the scripts of life reality shows do not have those complicated link settings. They just list in detail what the actors of the reality show will do in each episode or season, which is actually similar to a schedule.
Eric browsed through the profiles of several girls, and then opened the script.
However, after watching halfway through, Eric couldn't help shaking his head: "This won't work."
Kris Jenner didn't expect Eric to express his negation before reading the script. She was a little nervous and asked, "Eric, is there a problem?"
"The script shows off the girls' luxurious lives too often. Although this kind of excessive showing off will arouse many people's interest in the short term, it will not last long. After watching a few episodes, if the audience always feels that they are too far away from their lives, they must You will gradually lose interest. Therefore, if you want to continue this reality show for a long time, you must grasp the distance between the show and the audience. In terms of content, it is necessary to satisfy the audience's voyeuristic desire for the upper class, and to give They have a sense of 'these people's lives are really not that big of a deal'."
Kris Jenner listened carefully, understood a little, and tentatively said: "You mean, I should add more plots of these girls' daily life?"
"It's probably like this, but it shouldn't be too mediocre, and the details should be made more delicate. Maybe you can put more effort into the girls' clothes. If you can make these girls' clothes become what young girls are keen on Discussing or even following the trend, this program has added an important element that can attract viewers, especially female viewers, for a long time."
Kris Jenner nodded in agreement, then asked, "Eric, is there anything else?"
Eric tried his best to recall the memories of the reality show in his mind, and said: "The element of catching horses should be reduced, at least there should be no violent conflicts in the first season, let a few girls run together first, of course, You can’t let them be friendly, otherwise there will be no point. Also, since a few girls participate in reality shows, they mainly want to be famous, and they don’t care too much about the salary. So, you can discuss it with MGM, and you can give them Tailoring a promotion plan, the promotion of the reputation of a few girls can also promote the reputation of the reality show in turn. Of course, if we leave after filming a season, the media resources we invest will be wasted, so it is best to be able to do more than once. Sign a few film contracts."
"Eric, it's true that they want to be famous. However, although these girls are wealthy, the salary of 40,000 US dollars for a season is still a lot of money for them. I have already signed three film contracts with them."
Eric found himself falling into the thinking of why not eat minced meat again.
Thinking about it carefully, with his current net worth, it is impossible not to care about hundreds of millions of dollars of funds. Similarly, in Beverly Hills, even if you are worth tens of millions, $40,000 is not a small fortune, let alone a few young girls who have just entered society in their twenties.
Kris Jenner didn't know what Eric was thinking, and just continued to chat about revising the script.
About an hour later, and things were pretty much discussed, Kris Jenner felt that Eric meant to see off the guests, and invited again: "Eric, we just moved back to Los Angeles recently and are planning to hold a housewarming party Well, are you free recently?"
Eric shook his head without thinking about it. He just valued Kris Jenner's potential in making reality shows, and he didn't plan to involve too much with the family: "Recently, I've been busy. No time."
"It's only at night, and it won't delay work." Kris Jenner worked tirelessly and changed her strategy without hesitation, saying, "Besides, Jin also really hopes that you can go, you took pictures for her Kohler and the others are so envious of that set of graffiti photos."
At the end of the night, a group of girls took pictures of each other. Eric only remembered pressing a 'Williams handprint' on Kim Kardashian's waist, which is standard for all girls, and nothing else. However, he wouldn't be so bored as to expose Kim Kardashian's little lies fabricated out of vanity. He just shook his head and said, "I really don't have this kind of energy. I just want to go home and sleep after work these days." .”
Kris Jenner was sure that Eric would not agree to this, and was very disappointed. If they can invite Eric to the party, they will definitely be able to make a big splash in their social circles. Knowing that there is no hope for this matter, Kris Jenner still did not give up, saying: "In this case, Eric, if you have time, you can invite Jin to come out to play, and it is still summer vacation."
Eric was a little disgusted with Kris Jenner, an unscrupulous mother who promoted her daughter. However, thinking about what the other party did in the original time and space, she quickly felt relieved. This is a woman who has no lower limit for fame and fortune. . Looking at the hopeful eyes of the other party, Eric said with some teasing in his eyes, "Perhaps you may know that I'm not really interested in young girls. I prefer mature women."
Kris Jenner opened her mouth in surprise, feeling Eric's gaze sizing her up unceremoniously, and suddenly felt, could it be that Eric Williams asked her to make this reality show just to run for her Come on, she did hear that this young super rich man has some complexes.
Recalling the time when he repeatedly questioned his daughter, the job fell on her suddenly. The daughter didn't even mention herself in front of Eric. Then, he must have seen herself somewhere before. It will upset her. She has appeared on some TV shows over the years.
Thinking she understood the ins and outs of the matter, Kris Jenner had almost no hesitation or resistance in her heart. With her character, if she could climb up to a big man like Eric and give up everything she had, so what. Pretending to be reserved for a while, the woman said with a bit of refusal: "Well, Eric, if you want, you can call me in private."
Eric thought about many of Kris Jenner's reactions, maybe she would become angry with embarrassment, or she might be righteous, at least on the surface, but she didn't expect this woman to be so straightforward.
Looking up and down at the woman's well-maintained figure in a black professional suit, Eric inevitably had some evil thoughts in his heart, and said, "What if I want it now?"
"Ah, this," Kris Jenner looked around for the next four weeks, and said, "Here, is it suitable?"
Eric raised his legs, looking as if he wanted to come or not, he didn't mean to give women other choices at all, and said, "I prefer to be here."
Kris Jenner finally hesitated for a moment, but instead, she thought that she had no bargaining chip in front of Eric. Only by trying to satisfy this young man could she gain more. So he got up and turned around the desk, walked awkwardly to Eric's side, glanced at him, and bent down on Eric's large desk.
Eric looked at a plump female body waiting to be played with in front of him, stretched out his hand and smacked the plump body tightly wrapped in a black skirt, and said amidst the woman's painful groans: "Who made you like this, Get on your knees."
After being slapped by Eric, the woman became more obedient, got up quickly, and lowered herself in front of Eric with a flattering smile.
Eric saw that the woman was about to reach out after kneeling, raised his toes and kicked it lightly, and said, "Not here, go under the table."
"Well, good, good."
…
Near the end of get off work time, Peter Rich rushed over from Century City, greeted some acquaintances, came outside Eric's office, and was about to speak to the secretary outside, when Eric's office door opened, card Lorraine and Melanie came out together, just in time to see Peter Rich.
Melanie Gleeson noticed the fleeting guilty expression on Peter Rich's face, and asked suspiciously: "Peter, we are about to get off work, why are you here?"
"The boss asked me to come over to FFM TV station." Peter Rich said, and said hello to Caroline, and pointed to the office door.
Melanie Gleeson and Caroline moved aside, saw Peter Rich knock on the door twice, then walked in, turned to Caroline and said: "There must be something weird, my dad used to This expression is often seen after secretly smoking a cigarette."
Caroline smiled and pulled Melanie: "Let's go, Peter should be here for work."
"Hmph, I guess it's the messy things between stinky men that kept it from us," Melanie muttered, and glanced at the secretary sitting behind the desk outside. Her office was next door to Caroline's. It is impossible to know something like this secretary at all times, so he leaned over and asked gossipingly, "Mia, do you know what Peter is here for?"
The female secretary named Mia shook her head with a smile. She knew that a woman had entered the boss's office and hadn't come out all afternoon, but she definitely couldn't tell anyone about it. Although her position is far inferior to that of Caroline and Melanie, she just assists in the daily work of answering the phone, serving tea and pouring water, and often does not necessarily see the big boss for ten days and a half months, but this position is It was hard to get it, and she cherished her job more than the two girls in front of her who were said to have a good relationship with the boss.
Melanie couldn't get any information from Mia, so she had to take Caroline to leave together, and said to Caroline: "It must be similar to what I guessed, Carly, I will teach you later How can you tell the expression of a man?"
Eric didn't expect his female assistant to have such a keen intuition. In the afternoon, he suddenly became absurd. Some aftermath matters must be inconvenient for Caroline or Melanie to handle, so he could only find his own The former assistant came to the rescue. After taking a small box from Peter, Eric chatted with him about the work of FFM TV station, sent him away, and then pushed the door into the bedroom next to the office. Although basically he would not rest here, this set The facilities in all aspects of the office are very complete.
The woman who was simply covered with a thin blanket on the big bed was still asleep. Eric took a glass of water and walked to the bed, and the woman woke up when she heard the movement.
Eric opened the small box left by Peter Rich, took out a board of pills and looked at it, then pressed one and handed it to the woman's lips: "Open your mouth."
Kris Jenner also knew what kind of medicine Eric was handing over, took the water glass and sent the pills down, and opened her mouth with a smile to let Eric check, before asking: "Eric, what time is it now?"
Eric picked up the woman's clothes and put them beside the bed, and said, "It's five o'clock, get dressed, you should go back."
"He went to New York to record a show, and I'm fine if I don't go tonight," Kris Jenner said expectantly. Seeing that Eric didn't respond, she was a little disappointed, but she boldly said half-jokingly: "Eric, if you want in the future, you can call me anytime. When Kendall and Kelly are older, there will be no more."
Eric was a little embarrassed at once, reached out and took another pill and stuffed it directly into the woman's mouth, saying: "Don't play tricks, just do a good job of "Beverly Girls", if the ratings are good, there will be projects next year Here you go. If you mess up, just be your housewife in the future."
Seeing Eric's slightly annoyed expression, Kris Jenner wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. Hearing that Eric may have a new project for her next year, I feel a little more excited. Such efforts are indeed worthwhile. Obediently swallowed the pill in his mouth again, got up and began to get dressed.
The new project that Eric is talking about is another real wife series, which was originally associated with the proposal of Kris Jenner's "Beverly Girls" reality show, which happens to belong to the Bravo channel. As a housewife herself, Kris Jenner may be more handy than "Beverly Girls". However, after MGM takes over the Bravo channel, it will take some time to make adjustments in various aspects, so there is no need to be too anxious about this matter.
After seeing off Kris Jenner, Eric also rushed to a restaurant in Venice Beach immediately. He made an appointment with Larry Ellison tonight to discuss the acquisition of Apple.
It’s also annoying to say that, after receiving a $300 million investment promise from Eric, Larry Ellison began to raise funds under the name that Firefly Investment would also participate in the acquisition of Apple. Firefly Investment's investment vision in the IT industry over the years is obvious to all. Therefore, hearing that Firefly Investment will also participate in the acquisition of Apple, some capital forces that were originally indifferent to this matter also began to let go.
When Eric asked last week, Larry Ellison had raised more than $2.5 billion, and now Apple's market cap is only $2 billion. Even if the acquisition premium is higher, it's probably enough money . However, with the money in hand, Larry Ellison had the idea of throwing away the Firefly investment. Eric is sure that this matter must be the result of Jobs' instigation. Eric refused Jobs last time to play MP3 The request for device patent authorization makes the other party very embarrassed, and he is a very, very vengeful guy.
For the acquisition of Apple, Eric had an indifferent attitude. With so many layouts in advance, if he still can't monopolize the future era of smartphones, he will consider himself unlucky. However, Eric will not allow others to pull the investment in the name of Firefly Investment and then throw himself away. (To be continued.)
