Although it has the leading advantage of "Desperate Housewives", the number of viewers of the premiere episode can reach 3.5 million, "Beverly Wife" is definitely a big success, and the next series of plans can be rolled out smoothly, no wonder there will be cheers and celebrations next door just now. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After chatting a few words about "Beverly's Wife", Eric asked about the ratings of "Desperate Housewives".

Based on the popularity of the final episode of the first season to break through the 7 million ratings mark, the premiere of the second season of "Desperate Housewives" also won a good start.

According to preliminary statistics obtained from the East Coast pilot sample, the average viewership of the first episode of the second season of "Desperate Housewives" is about 7.35 million, and the core rating of people aged 18 to 49 is close to 5.0.

Each viewership of North American TV dramas means a core audience of around 1.2 million. In other words, nearly 6 million of the 7.35 million viewers in the first episode of the second season of "Desperate Housewives" belong to the 18- to 49-year-old audience favored by advertisers, which is far more than the same number of viewers on public television networks. In order to gain a core audience of 6 million on public television networks, the overall number of viewers needs to be at least 10 million.

Although it has not been transferred to public television networks, the near-5.0 ratings figure has allowed "Desperate Housewives" to earn more advertising revenue than most public television network programs.

Moreover, as a cable station, the high ratings of "Desperate Housewives" also allow Brvao TV to get more share of the cable operators, which is not available to public TV stations.

Originally, I didn't plan to get into work tonight, but Eric unknowingly still talked to Chrissy. Jenner chatted for a while.

Inadvertently hearing a lively voice coming from next door again, Eric reacted and smiled at Chrissy. Jenna said, "That's it, you go back to the next door and continue the party." ”

Chris. Jenna felt that Eric was obviously in a good mood at this time, and her eyes were a little more shrewd, and she said, "Eric, actually, there is one more thing. ”

Eric snorted and motioned to Chrissy. Jenner continued.

Chris. Jenner carefully watched Eric's reaction and said, "That's right, I want to build a special theme website for the reality TV actors who participate in "Beverly Wife" and "Beverly Girls", so that we can better promote their popularity. ”

Eric waved his hand: "You should discuss this kind of thing with Amy, I don't have time to care." ”

Chris. Jenner remembered that she had signed contracts with several reality TV actresses on "Beverly Girls."

John, who is in charge of the MGM television network business. Cali was very unhappy about this at first, but then he stopped mentioning it, and after inquiring, Chrissy. Jenna realized that it was Eric who had spoken.

This time, Chrissy. Jenner actually had the same idea.

Moreover, if this plan could not be approved in advance from Eric himself, MGM would never agree to it.

Therefore, Chrissy. Jenna said with some compliments in her tone, "Eric, MGM is yours, I think it's more convenient to discuss this matter with you, otherwise it will definitely take a series of endless meetings to agree on this matter." ”

Eric really didn't care about these little things, and was about to agree casually, but in a flash, he suddenly understood that Chrissy. Jenner's intentions.

She wants to carve out a part of the benefits from the peripheral products of these two reality shows.

As we all know, North America has a very complete film and television peripheral industry, from super IPs such as "Star Wars" to some unpopular dramas on paid cable stations, almost all of them can develop lucrative peripheral products, and the long-term consumption concept has also made North American audiences very willing to spend money in this regard.

Although "Beverly Girls" and "Beverly Wife" are both reality shows, they still have a very rich resource that can be developed.

The same costumes, jewelry, shoes, daily recipes, boutique props and even photo albums of the actors in the series can be sold for money.

In recent years, with the rise of Internet e-commerce, many celebrities or companies with well-known film and television projects are willing to set up similar theme websites, and then get YahooPay's payment interface from Yahoo to sell things on the website.

This kind of low-cost operation is still very profitable.

Chris. Jenner just said that she wants to set up a temporary special website for the actors, instead of the theme website of the two reality shows, obviously wanting to keep these websites for herself, so that she can share some peripheral income from the two reality shows under the guise of rubbing the edges.

The popularity shown by two reality shows, even Chrissy. Jenner didn't dare to make it too obvious, but she still wanted to make millions of dollars a year.

Eric put away the magazine and rolled it in his hand, turned his head to look at the expectant woman on his face, with a smile on his face, and tapped his heel on the end of the chaise longe: "Come here." ”

Eric's headless words made Chrissy. Jenna was a little puzzled, but the commanding tone of the man in front of her that could not be refused made Chrissy. Unconsciously Jenna stood up obediently.

Slowly move to the pool, Chrissy. Jenna didn't know that the little man was suddenly interested in playing again, and said, "Eric, I think, this way, this is not good." ”

Eric suddenly didn't feel good, and said, "Take off your dress and don't get wet." ”

Chris. Jenna felt a little hot on her cheeks, and felt Eric's staring at her, but she didn't have the courage to resist.

During this time, whether it was AOL's stock reduction or the acquisition of Sony Pictures, Chrissy, who was watching in private. Jenna felt even more deeply the huge wealth and power of the little man in front of her.

Reach out and unzip the zipper behind her a bit, Chrissy. Jenna quickly shed her low-cut evening gown and folded it on the chaise longue next to her.

The housewives of the wealthy class of the United States tend to maintain very good figures. The same goes for Jenna.

Eric admired it for a moment, then unceremoniously raised his foot and kicked it over.

The sound of falling water was accompanied by the woman's exclamation.

Eric leaned back in the recliner indifferently and listened to the water fluttering across from him for a moment. Feel wait until Chrissy. Jenner climbed out of the water before he sat up.

Chris. Jenna was lying on the edge of the pool coughing, noticing Eric looking at her condescendingly, knowing that her little caution might not be seen by Eric, which is why this happened.

I don't dare to be angry with Eric, Chrissy. Jenna tried her best to make her expression look pitiful, and said as if complaining, "Eric, you, ahem, you are so hateful. ”

Eric ignored the woman's pretending to be pitiful, picked the other party's chin with the magazine in his hand, and said, "Teach you one thing, I have always been very generous to the people who do things for me. If you want anything, you can tell me directly, and if I think you can, I'll give it to you. If you can't, then I won't give it to you. But don't think about playing these tricks in front of me. Because even if you fool me, you may fool everyone around me, and if I find out, then you can go back and continue to be your housewife, nay, this time it's just a small punishment, but next time I'm not necessarily in such a good mood, understand? ”

Chris. Jenna didn't dare to show the slightest displeasure, nodded obediently, and still said pitifully: "Eric, I know, I don't dare anymore." ”

"Very well, climb up on your own and go back to the party."

Chris. Jenna crawled out of the pool in embarrassment, but for a moment she was a little overwhelmed, it was strange that she could go back to the party in this situation.

Eric, who was lying back down, looked at the woman as a soup chicken, pointed to a large bath towel on the chair next to him, and said, "Go find a bathroom to deal with it yourself." ”

Chris. As if she had been pardoned, Jenna picked up a bath towel and wrapped herself in a bath towel, and walked towards the villa with her dress in her hand.

Chris. As soon as Jenna disappeared, Natasha, who heard the sound of water coming out, quietly returned to her place and sat down.

Seeing that nothing had happened to Natasha just now, Eric smiled and said, "Why didn't Nata speak?" ”

Natasha looked at Eric seriously: "Will the master kick me like this in the future?" ”

"No," Eric shook his head, "Definitely not." ”

"Yes."

"Well, suppose, Nata, what if I did?"

Natasha's clear face was a little hesitant, and after a moment she said, "I don't know, but, Eve, it should be better." ”

Eric listened to the girl's somewhat suggestive tone and smiled, "What a good sister, but you mean, Eve will only beat me half to death, right?" ”

Natasha nodded seriously, "Yes." ”

Eric looked relieved: "It seems that Nata still cares about me very much, and is only willing to beat me to death." ”

"Yes."

"Well, for Nata's sake, she's willing to beat me half to death," Eric got up and took the girl's little hand, "Now, I'll take you home tonight." ”

Natasha submissively got up by Erec, her face was a little crimson, and she whispered, "Master, do you need to talk to the boss?" ”

"Of course not, the girl deliberately let people disturb us, and it would be nice if I didn't spank her little ass," Eric jokingly shook his head and walked towards the garage with Natasha, adding, "Don't worry, she'll see that we're not here later, and she'll know we're out together." ”

Chris. Jenner came out of a bathroom and resumed her beautiful posture again, just in time to see Eric driving away with the beautiful Russian twin girl, and she couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

However, back next door, feeling the enthusiasm of the guests at the scene, she took the initiative to come over and chat with her. Some of Jenner's depression just now quickly swept away.

With the success of two reality shows in a row, she is now one of Hollywood's hottest reality TV producers, receiving the attention and compliments of many people wherever she goes, and this kind of life is simply heaven for her who already likes to chase fame and fortune.

Chatting with her husband with another wealthy couple who participated in the filming of "Beverly Wife". Jenna inadvertently catches a glimpse of her daughter Kim. Kardashian was holding a plate of small cakes and wanted to flash past her, and suddenly glared at her.

Gold. Kardashian saw that she was caught by her mother, so she had to come over and greet everyone politely.

Chris. Jenna remembered that Eric had contacted her through her second daughter, but then she didn't move, and then looked at the high-calorie cake in her daughter's hand at this time, and unconsciously hated iron and steel.

Say hello to her husband and the couple, Chrissy. Jenna pulled her daughter aside and said in a stern tone: "Don't eat any more, and besides, you start dieting me tomorrow, if you don't lose weight below 90 pounds within a month, I will beat you to death." ”

Gold. Kardashian was so frightened by her mother that she almost threw the small cake in her hand directly, nodding obediently and reassuringly.

On this occasion, Chrissy. Jenna didn't want to affect her image by reprimanding her daughter, so she quickly put away her expression and asked, "Also, what about Courtney and Kohler?" ”

Gold. Kardashian hurriedly said, "They, they're chatting with Drew." ”

Hearing her daughter say that, Chrissy. Jenna was very satisfied, and in a blink of an eye she was very dissatisfied: "Then why are you here, come over quickly." ”

Gold. Kardashian nodded tremblingly, threw away the small cake in her hand, and hurried away as if she were running away.

……

Before and after the second season of "Desperate Housewives" and "Beverly's Wife" were launched, the high-quality dramas of the major TV networks under the Firefly system were also broadcast one after another.

On the other hand, Firefly Investment's acquisition of Sony Pictures is also advancing rapidly.

After the second week of hearings, Firefly Investment obtained a transaction license from the Ministry of Justice to acquire Sony Pictures' business, and Firefly Investment's audit of Sony Pictures' balance sheet was basically completed within half a month.

After several rounds of negotiations, the two sides resolved some disputes over the details, and at the end of September, Firefly Investment and Sony Group signed a joint deal agreement at Sony Pictures headquarters in Los Angeles.

Firefly invested $2.99 billion, plus $1 billion in debt left over from Sony Pictures, and finally pocketed another major Hollywood studio.

After the completion of the acquisition, Firefly Investment did not have any scruples, and it was publicly announced at the signing conference that Sony Pictures would be renamed Columbia Pictures.

Although he was still busy with the filming of "Gravity", Eric still spared half a day to attend the signing ceremony in person.

In Culver City, the reception after the signing ceremony was held in the restaurant at Columbia Pictures' headquarters.

Nobuyuki Idei and Howard. Stringer didn't come back to the ceremony, and only one group vice president attended the signing ceremony for Sony this time. After the ceremony, the other party only stayed at the reception for less than ten minutes before leaving under the pretext, and everyone naturally didn't care about Sony's reaction at this time.

Eric had a lap at the party, and then he put Bill. Michanik shouted to the side, and the two sat down on the sofa in the corner, and Eric said: "I have already read the project materials you gave me last time, and there are many problems, if it is not for the fact that I have invested a lot of resources and energy, I even want to cut all these projects." ”

Bill. Michanik listened patiently and did not defend himself, believing that Eric should know that although he was nominally the top of Sony Pictures in the first place, he actually did not have much decision-making power.

Eric didn't want Bill either. Michanik explained something and continued: "I will talk to you again on the weekend when I have time to talk to you about the details. In the next few days, all you have to do is get three projects done. First, CAA's "Sky Trap" was re-obtained. I've studied the script for this film, and it's probably going to take five months to get it done, so it can be the main feature of Columbia Pictures' summer program next year. In addition, I don't like the heroine recommended by CAA, so remove her and choose it ourselves. ”
