MTL - I’m in Hollywood

Perhaps because of some primitive territorial consciousness, Eric is not adapted to the sudden emergence of strangers in his private life.

After dinner, I talked to Cindy and Linda for a while. After seeing Catherine Neumann who had cleaned up the housework, she appeared in the living room with a book. Eric took the initiative to get up and go to the study.

On the desk, the parcel sent by Rebecca Wade was placed. Eric put the information of IMG Group aside, sat down and then turned on the computer to find out that the paper cutter would unpack the parcel.

Inside the package is a simple letter and a DVD.

Eric first read Rebecca Wade's personal letter and read it.

Rebecca Wade told Eric in a letter that the CD-ROM is a documentary about the Elite brokerage competition scandal that BBC will broadcast next week. Once the documentary is aired, it is likely to have a subversive impact on the entire model industry. Taking into account some of the industrial layout of the firefly system, she sent the documentary of the documentary to let Eric decide whether to intervene and said that it could provide some help.

News Corp.'s 'intelligence gathering ability' is evident from many details of the eavesdropping scandal. Eric is not too curious to find the source of this DVD in his opponent. He just plugs the DVD into the computer CD-ROM and plays it.

The picture is obviously shot from the camera of the miniature camera, with a blurry black border around it.

The documentary is followed by a follow-up interview behind the French Nice Elite Model Contest, which just ended last month. As a patron, the BBC reporter approached a series of responsible persons in the competition, and then photographed the unscrupulous words and deeds of these people who took the girls to the competition. At the end of the documentary, there was even a scene in which a girl was tricked into taking Hailuo. .

Moreover, the documentary emphasizes one point. In this Elite model contest held in Nice, France, the average age of the players is less than 15 years old. The youngest girl is only 12 years old. Only a small number of players reach the adult standard.

The chaos in the modeling industry is almost a well-known thing. Ordinary people can see how indulgent their private life is from the temperament of some models and the dark spots on their faces.

However, under normal circumstances, only the chaotic private life of some individual models has been exposed by the media, but the large-scale scandal involving the industry giant Elite has not happened yet. The BBC's documentary is equivalent to directly covering the cover, showing the darkest side of the model industry to the public.

It is conceivable that once this documentary is broadcast, there will be a major earthquake in the entire model industry.

In the face of pressure from the theory, governments will definitely re-enact relevant regulations.

Elite, the world's largest model agency, will also become a street mouse, and it is almost inevitable that it will decline.

Even the beautiful stunners who appear next to Eric always show their best, and he has never been naive to think that the industry is really as beautiful as the surface.

In fact, like Hollywood, Eric is equally clear about the dark side of the fashion world.

However, with the continuous improvement of wealth and power, Eric’s deep feelings towards the world have become increasingly indifferent. Just like a human being, it is destined not to have too much interest in the biting and smashing of the ants in the ant world. If you can not step on it, you will be pity.

Right now, if the broadcast of this documentary will only affect Elite's company, Eric is destined to just sit on the sidelines.

However, the BBC’s behavior of smashing the cover has led to the government’s strengthening of industry regulation. The most important point is that after the documentary is broadcast, just like many XX doors, the people's dark associations with the fashion circle will be realized, which will affect the public image of the entire model industry.

Eric has just invested in WM, and Cindy is going to acquire IMG.

If Elite is fading, it is good for the firefly system on the surface. But this scandal and the subsequent storm of controversy is enough to drag the entire industry down. The top-class supermodel group of the Eric team created by Eric may also be affected. No matter what, it is enough to offset the benefits of the decline of Elite.

After thinking for a moment, Eric took the phone and dialed Meyer's phone.

"Mary, it's me... You check the contact information of the BBC person in charge, send an email to the other party, and say that I saw their TV show about Elite, I hope the BBC can be removed. In return, the firefly can add a part. Going to the BBC Group's advertising budget... Well, I know that you can do it right away. Also, call John Casablanca and let him see me tomorrow morning."

Hanging up Meyer's phone, Eric took out the information of IMG Group and just watched it for a while. Linda, who changed into a beautiful pajamas, floated in.

"What kind of prenatal education, I want to sleep," I gestured lazily into Eric's arms. Linda grabbed the man's neck and complained in a sour voice: "Maybe the little guy is already asleep." In the future, not only will it not become smart, but it will be sleepy when you see the book."

Linda had never had any advantage in front of Cindy. This time, Cindy was pregnant again, but her stomach was not moving. It has been quite resentful in recent times.

Eric grabbed the woman's waist and couldn't help but think of the documentary just now.

Rebecca Wade sent the documentary, perhaps with another layer of meaning.

The president of Elite Europe, which is involved in the documentary, is actually the ex-husband of Linda. Once the scandal is exposed, the other party will certainly be infamous, but now the more famous Linda will inevitably be pulled in by the media.

Aside from these thoughts, Eric patted the woman comfortably and smiled: "Don't complain, you will have this day sooner or later."

"But I want it now," Linda groaned on Eric, and her face was reddish in the man's ear. "Eric, I consulted the doctor and learned some." Something, let's try it now?"

Eric immediately smiled and shook his head: "Don't go, you are holding this kind of purpose but it is very damaging to men's enthusiasm."

Linda opened her mouth and hated a few times on the man's neck. He felt Eric's hand on his waist aggravated his strength, his eyes turned and he reached out to solve his shirt button, and then slowly all the way. Bite it down.

Early the next morning, and two women bid farewell, Eric rushed directly to the helipad on the Hudson River.

Caroline and Meyer have been waiting here, and after Eric got off the bus, Meyer walked over with his BlackBerry: "Eric, BBC President Mark Thompson refused."

Eric took the phone and looked at the email on the screen, asking casually: "What about John Casablanca?"

"Mr. Casablanca lives in Greenwich and he just called and said that it will take ten minutes to get there."

Greenwich is more than forty kilometers north of Manhattan, and it belongs to Connecticut. Many Manhattan rich and senior white-collar workers live there.

Eric responded. After reading Mark Thompson, he would not return the phone to Meyer because of commercial interests that violated the BBC Group’s own code of conduct. "Give me a call from Mark Thompson. phone."

Meyer skillfully dialed a number of numbers, said a few words to the opposite side, and handed the phone to Eric.

Eric put his phone in his ear and said, "Mark Thompson?"

The middle-aged voice of a standard London cavity came out of the receiver: "Hello, Mr. Williams. Although I am very happy to talk to you, if it is for the email, sorry, I can't promise you. The BBC has its own sense of social responsibility and we are not controlled by others."

"If this is the case, then forget it," Eric said in a dull tone. "However, when it comes to social responsibility, I will make people make a more profound documentary. For example, what about Jimmy Saville? ?"

Eric finished, and waited for Mark Thompson to answer, he hanged the phone directly.

The two women who stood by and watched Eric and Mark Thompson talking were a bit worried. I didn't expect him to hang up so soon.

Carolyn heard the name of Jimmy Saville, opened his mouth, and just said something, Eric’s cell phone rang again.

Putting the phone back in his ear, Eric’s tone is still plain: “So?”

Mark Thompson has a clear anger: "Mr. Williams, are you threatening the BBC?"

Eric once again pressed the hang up button.

Then, although the interval was a little longer, after a minute, the ringtone rang again.

"and so?"

Mark Thompson's attitude was obviously softened this time: "Well, Mr. Williams, I will take the documentary off. But you must also ensure that the thing you just said will never happen."

Eric nodded: "Of course, I am very happy to talk to you, Mark, goodbye."

When Eric hangs up, Caroline finally says: "What happened to Sir Eric, Savile? He is a very good person. When I was a child, I often watched the programs he was hosting."

Jimmy Saville is the most well-known children and music presenter on BBC Television. He is over seventy years old this year. During the most popular period, thousands of children write letters to him every week.

In addition to this important identity, Jimmy Saville is also the jazz of the Queen of England, and many British politicians and celebrities such as Mrs. Thatcher are friends, and enjoy a very high reputation in the British society.

Of course, all this is just an appearance.

In memory, after more than a decade, until Jimmy Saville had just passed away, the scandal involving him finally broke out.

It turned out that this seemingly savvy host has invaded hundreds of underage children, who are only 8 years old, in their decades of host life.

Moreover, throughout the process, Jimmy Saville's behavior has become a well-known fact within the BBC, but for his own reputation, the BBC has repeatedly chosen to take the initiative to conceal the other side, directly leading to the misdeed of Jimmy Saville. It lasted for half a century.

For the BBC, which is good at pinpointing the shortcomings of various industries, the whole thing has to be said to be a great irony.

At this point, Eric looked at Caroline's clear and bright voice, making a mysterious whisper: "You don't know, he is actually a homosexual. Think about it, a family and a successful career are still quite popular with children. The welcome old guy suddenly became gay, and everyone is definitely not too willing to accept it."

Caroline wrinkled her little nose and was a little bit annoyed. "This, Eric, is not good. Sex is a very personal thing. You shouldn't take him to bargain with others."

Eric nodded solemnly: "Well, I promise, there will never be another time."

Meyer stood by, listening to Eric talking to Caroline in a serious way, his eyes flashing, seeing the man look over, and if nothing happened.

A moment later, a Cadillac car came to the tarmac.

Although Eric Williams’s attitude towards her own voice was a bit sloppy, Elite’s president, John Casablanca, ran off and greeted with a smile: “Sorry, William. Mr. James, the distance is a little far away. Hey, this helicopter is really good."

Eric and John Casablanca shook hands and gave the DVD to the other party without any chills. "This was originally a documentary that the BBC will broadcast next week. I will help you down." But you remember, only this time, the next time I have a problem, I will let ABC personally follow up, and Elite will close the door directly."

Although it was completely unclear what happened, John Casablanca listened to Erik’s solemn tone of no joke, and immediately put away a smile on his face, holding the box of DVD: "Mr. Williams, what happened? ?"

"I am in a hurry, go back and see for yourself. In addition, I intend to transfer Aier's contract to the IMG side. Recently, a lawyer will contact you."

Due to the operation of the IMG Elite system, the contracts of the four women of Cindy, Linda, Giselle and Miranda are currently under the umbrella of IMG Models, and only Alexander is still in Elite.

Now that the intention to acquire the IMG Group has arisen, and now this has happened, Eric decided to transfer Alexander's contract from Elite. As for the other Elite angels under the Vimy Legion, Eric does not matter.

John Casablanca has realized the seriousness of the matter and wants to continue to ask. Eric has already waved his hand and took the Caroline two women and a group of bodyguards to board the helicopter.

Looking at the black VH-60 and whistling away, John Casablanca also hurriedly left the apron and rushed to Elite's headquarters. A person came to the company's conference room and couldn't wait to stuff the DVD into the player.

After watching the video for half an hour, John Casablanca was already shocked by a cold sweat.

Although the video content has nothing to do with him, but John Casablanca knows very well that if this documentary is really broadcast, Elite's model competition for more than 20 years will be destroyed, and the company will not only greet a large number of lawsuits. The models will also be forced to leave the scandal.

At that time, Elite is destined to decline quickly.

Moreover, the most important thing is that he himself can only be forced to leave the model agency founded by himself. Unlike the McCormack family behind IMG, John Casablanca has not had much of Elite's shares in the hands of the company over the years. The company has run out of such a big flaw, and the board will certainly not allow him to remain in the position of Elite's president.

It was completely trembling and all the pieces on the conference table were thrown to the ground. John Casablanca was sitting on a chair, thinking gradually calmed down and began to think about the next thing.

Eric Williams wants to take Alexander Ambrosio's contract, which is tantamount to completely disconnecting Elite.

At least, certainly not letting this happen.

With this in mind, John Casablanca’s thoughts gradually shifted to Eric’s recent move into WM.

......

Eric's Boeing 747 took off from Long Island Airport, but did not plan to fly directly to Hini, but to make a short stop at Ventura Airport.

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has been waiting there, Yahoo and Microsoft have re-signed the contract, and Eric will need to hand over the video to the other party.

In fact, Steve Ballmer happened to be a hard-line man who immediately decided to cut off all the cooperation with Yahoo to develop his own Internet business. The students obviously didn't want to see Eric again before they sent Steve Ballmer.

Eric means that the video knows as few people as possible. The number of people who have watched the video on their side is no more than one hand, and Microsoft is better. Even if it is followed by negotiations with the Ministry of Justice, it is best for insiders to be limited to a few people, such as the President and the Minister of Justice.

As one of Microsoft's major shareholders and one of the core executives, Steve Ballmer is clearly qualified to know about it.

"There will be a piece of information about the IMG Group today in Los Angeles. You sent an e-mail in the past and asked Edward to assess whether there would be a legal conflict with the existing industry if I personally participate in the acquisition of IMG."

"With regard to the Clover Fund, let the Finance Department make a long-term profit distribution plan. I don't want the earnings reports of Berkshire Hathaway and State Street Global to indirectly expose the Firefly Group's profitability this year."

"And, the demise of "Gravity" is based on Judy Foster and George Clooney. I am participating in those shows this time."

"..."

In the Boeing 747 front cabin study, after the plane flew smoothly, Eric began to discuss some work with Caroline.

Probably chatting for a while, Caroline took a few documents and left the study first, but Meyer pretended to help Eric organize the desktop and deliberately smashed it behind.

Opening up an information from the IMG Group Sports Training Institute, Eric noticed Meyer's move and smiled: "Mary, what's the matter?"

Meyer straightened up and looked at the man's expression and said, "That, what happened to Jimmy Saville?"

Eric watched Meyer's blinking eyes for a while, and then smiled and pulled the girl's little hand. The tone was still serious: "He is a homosexual, you have to know that it is very troublesome to expose such things. ”

Meyer's blinking eyes gradually calmed down, but he quickly earned the hand held by Eric. He had some little dissatisfaction in his tone: "Eric, you don't like me when you lie to me. So caring for Carly."

"Well, next time I will improve, I will do it for the first time."

"Ok."
