Of course, compared to Elite and IMG, WM is only a very small modeling agency after all. It doesn't happen overnight for the agency to grow www.biquge.info and grow, and while Eric would love to see WM get to the point where it can stand shoulder to shoulder with companies like Elite, he won't be able to help it grow.

Near noon, near the end of the meeting, Eric heard Paul Rowland's final tentative about this year's Victoria's Secret show, and replied: "The list of most of the Victoria's Secret angels this year has been decided. Therefore, in addition to Carmen, LTD can only give WM three more places, provided that the model you provide must pass the interview. However, as for the promotion of models, I have already given Carmen some business cards, and you will need to run the specific things yourself. ”

The places of Victoria's Secret Angels are increasingly occupied by industry giants such as ELite and IMG, and WM can get four places at one time, which is almost one-tenth of the Victoria's Secret Army, which has made Paul Rowland very satisfied. Hearing that Eric had given Carmen Cayce some business cards, Paul Rowland was even more excited.

Finally, when the topic ended, Paul Rowland was about to invite Eric to a nearby restaurant that he had booked, when he noticed a figure swaying outside the glass door of the transparent conference room, and said, "So, Eric, would you like to say a few words to everyone?"

Eric also noticed the group of swaying figures in the work area outside the conference room, and nodded with a smile: "Okay." ”

Receiving an affirmative reply, Paul Rowland made a waiting expression and got up and walked out himself.

A moment later, a large group of girls walked in, and soon the room was packed, looking at Eric sitting at the conference table with expressions of excitement or anticipation or teasing.

Seeing this, the other partners and executives of WM got up and left to make way for the space. The girls who were familiar with each other on a daily basis stood around, and Carmen Kaith, who was originally sitting next to Eric, also got up embarrassedly and took the initiative to stand behind the man's side.

Eric leaned back in his chair, looked appreciatively at the girls who had obviously refilled their makeup, and smiled, "You must have guessed something, you are right, I am now one of the bosses of WM Company." So, you will definitely have a better development in the future. ”

The girls, who had already expected it, suddenly let out a burst of excitement.

Eric smiled and waited for the girls to cheer before continuing, "Of course, I don't have much time to focus on this. So, the specific operation of the company will not change much, but you will be able to get more opportunities, and it will take you to work hard enough. ”

After saying this, seeing that the expressions of these goblins suddenly turned into serious ones, Eric deliberately put away his expressions again, raised his sleeves that were still open, and said, "Then, in the end, who stole my buttons, return them quickly." ”

The girls were stunned, and although they realized that Eric was probably joking, no one dared to be 100% sure when they remembered his identity. So you look at me, I look at you, it seems that you are really helping Eric find the female thief who stole the buttons.

Then, as Eric brought the conversation to this, everyone gradually noticed that a girl in the crowd was very coincidentally wearing a light blue shirt that was exactly the same color as Eric's shirt, and even the buttons on the shirt were white. The difference is that the shirt on the girl's body is women's, but this matches with Eric's body, which is more like a couple's outfit.

Noticing that everyone around her was turning their eyes to her, even Eric Williams, the girl realized this, and immediately felt a little embarrassed, and opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.

The scene was quiet for a moment, the goblins made eye contact, and they didn't know who started the head, and everyone quickly surrounded the girl who 'collided' with Eric.

Immediately after, the girl's scream with a smile came from the crowd: "Ah, you, these, haha, it's so itchy, don't, it's too hard, it hurts." ”

Paul Loland and other WM executives standing at the door saw this sudden situation, and they all had a black line, and they didn't know whether to step forward to stop it.

Eric was also a little surprised, hearing the girl's cry of pain, and was about to open his mouth to stop it, but the women had already dispersed again.

Then, the elves laughed and brought the 'loot' they had just grabbed to Eric, leaving the girl standing against the wall with her hands on the collar of her shirt that had lost all buttons, her expression aggrieved, the hem of her shirt still open, revealing a seductive slender waist and flat belly.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Eric couldn't help laughing, but quickly said, "It's too much, it can't be like this in the future." However, the company should have a fitting room, who is going to help me find some needlework?"

The fitting room of the model company usually has a very complete dress-making equipment, which is convenient for the model to modify the clothes that the model needs to try on at any time, and there is no shortage of small objects such as needlework and thread, and Carolina, who is still familiar with Eric, immediately volunteered to run out.

Eric looked at the girl who was still standing at the base of the wall, with blonde hair, a slender figure, wearing high heels that was obviously more than 1.8 meters, plus that beautiful face full of high street style, the overall score was at least 85 points.

After a few glances, Eric asked with interest, "So, what's your name?"

Although her body was still a little painful because the buttons were forcibly ripped off by the women, the girl also realized that this was a rare opportunity for her, and immediately replied, "Mr. Williams, my name is Amy Hickson. ”

Eric pulled up a button and smiled, "Lend me one first, you can buy a new dress, and the company will help you pay the bills." ”

Amy Hickson nodded subconsciously, then immediately shook her head and said, "No, no, Mr. Williams." ”

"I'm going to pay you for a piece of clothing," Eric said to Amy Hickson after seeing Carolina come back with a sewing kit, and then to the other girls, "It's not a good habit to like to pull buttons on other people's bodies, and this needs to be changed." Now, that's all for today, let's all get busy. ”

Although a little reluctant, the girls obediently left the conference room.

Paul Rowland and the others waited for Carmen Cayss and Carolina to help Eric sew the cuffs of his shirt before inviting him to lunch. There was no other arrangement at noon, and Eric did not refuse.

Since it is a private partnership, the detailed shareholding ratio of Eric's stake in WM has not been disclosed, but the news quickly spread in the industry.

For a while, Elite, IMG and other companies all had a feeling of being a big enemy. These companies know very well that even if Eric only holds 1% of WM's shares, but with the entire Firefly system as a backing, as long as Eric is willing, WM will definitely quickly develop into a large modeling agency that can change the pattern of the industry.

Entering the new week, the Nasdaq's plummeting trend continues.

At the same time, with the arrival of August, the summer season has come to an end, and Eric has been busy reviewing a series of film and television drama projects of Firefly Group in recent days.

In terms of films, the promotion and distribution of the two blockbusters "Gravity" and "The Lord of the Rings" that will be released by Firefly Group at the end of the year have been fully launched.

Cameron's "Spider-Man" is expected to be filmed in another month, and Eric has automatically extended this deadline to two months.

Michael Bay's "The Peerless Tribulation", although filming started later than "Spider-Man", it had already been completed and post-production began. The film is expected to be released in the summer of next year, and the schedule is determined in May, and the schedule of "Spider-Man" is also determined to be in the summer of next year, but it is two months later than "The Peerless Tribulation".

The casting process for "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has ended, and filming will start next month, and the film will be released at the end of next year. The final three little guys are completely different from what they used to be, but the characters are very satisfying, and Eric does not directly intervene.

The follow-up plans for the Marvel Cinematic Universe are officially rolled out across the board, and due to full planning, the three projects of "Captain America", "Thor" and "Hulk" were launched almost simultaneously, and at this time intense character auditions were underway.

"Iron Man 2" has also entered the preliminary preparation stage, Joss Whedon will continue to be the director, and the project is a success, and Eric will naturally not quit.

In addition, due to the successive success of "Cars" and "Shrek", Eric has also paid close attention to the operation of several major animation studios of the Firefly system.

After Cars, Pixar Studios is currently working on The Incredibles, with several projects in the pipeline. In order to lengthen the cycle and maximize benefits, Eric did not ask Pixar to start "Cars 2" immediately, but decided to set the release time of the sequel seven years later.

Animated films have a seven-year cycle, and when the time comes, a new group of children's audiences will appear, once again supporting the hot peripheral sales of the "Cars" series.

Disney Animation Studio's first 3D animated feature film "Rapunzel" has been completed for most of the time, and it is expected to be released smoothly next summer.

Blue Sky Studios is a joint venture between Firefly Group and Fox Group, and since Ice Age and Shrek were so successful, Eric isn't in a hurry to let the studio open too many new movies.

In addition to these key projects, there are more than 100 other large and small films in various stages of production from the four companies of the Firefly System, but it is difficult for Eric to take care of them at the same time, so he tries not to interfere to avoid backfire.

Because he was in New York, Eric devoted a large part of his energy to the television business.

On the basis of some of the original popular dramas, the highlight of the ABC TV network this year is undoubtedly "American Idol".

After the success of the British version of "Pop Idol", ABC also attached great importance to this reality show, Simon Fuller also specially let go of his work in the UK, and deliberately took three months to personally check "American Idol" here, the project has completed the initial selection of contestants, and will officially log on to the ABC TV network in September.

On the cable side, AE Network's Lifetime has been growing strongly in recent years, with Anne Sweeney developing a series of new and popular TV shows in addition to "Boom City," "Flyover" and "America's Top Model."

After Steve Bernstein's departure, ESPN has stabilized, albeit briefly in turmoil. Eric knew nothing about the operation of the sports television station, so he was completely responsible for the company's management.

Showtime, which has just arrived, has officially completed the development of a new program schedule and marketing plan, and the preparation of "Shameless" is also very smooth, and the production of the pilot episode can start this month.

As the Firefly system grew, Eric found it increasingly difficult to focus on one thing. Although the power of each company is delegated to the maximum, the accumulation of official duties that need to be handled by Eric himself is enough to blow up his work schedule.

It's Friday, August 6th.

ABC Group headquarters on 66th Street on the Upper West Side, inside Eric's temporary office.

Approaching the end of work, tomorrow will be flying to Australia, Mayer reported to Eric some of the schedule for the next trip to Australia, and handed over a document and a package.

Eric knew that the document was the NASDAQ market analysis report for the week that had just been sorted out, and he had no time during the day, so he could only take it back and take the time to look through it at night, but the other package was a little puzzled: "What is this?"

Mayer looked at the memo and said, "The sender is Rebecca Wade, deputy editor of The Sun, but it is marked that it will be handed over to you personally." Perhaps, you can call Miss Murdoch and ask. ”

Eric had only spoken to Elizabeth on the phone in the morning and had not heard her mention it. I think Rebecca Wade sent it privately.

At the end of last year in London, Rebecca Wade was asked by Elizabeth to bring breakfast to Eric, who was not impressed by her, but knew that she was a very delicate woman.

However, after thinking about it a little, the "Sun", the secret package, and I have to hand it over to myself in person.

Together, these elements will not be the news about itself secretly suppressed by The Sun. After all, The Sun is Britain's premier gossip tabloid.

Mayer obviously thought of this as well, and his expression became a little strange.

After combing carefully, Eric noticed Mayer's eyes, and said helplessly: "I haven't done anything hurtful lately, why don't we take it apart and take a look at it together, well, call Carly in." ”

Mayer, who was originally quite curious, immediately rolled his eyes when he heard Eric say this, made a tsundere look of 'I'm not interested in your', turned around and left the office.
