When Elizabeth closed the door, Murdoch slowly picked up the coffee pot and refilled himself with a cup of coffee, and then made a casual gesture to Eric.

Eric shook his head slightly: "Drinking too much coffee at night is not a good habit. ”

Murdoch smiled: "You young people are nothing, and when I get to my age, I will have to drink more coffee to keep my spirits up." ”

"If you want to stay energetic, there are more ways to be healthier. ”

Murdoch didn't follow up on the topic, and instead said, "Eric, speaking of which, your first film was with Fox, and we've always had a great time working together, haven't we?"

"Of course, the box office can break 100 million, even I didn't expect it. ”

Eric replied with a shrug, suggesting that Murdoch was of little use to playing the emotional card against him.

He really relied on the opportunity given by Fox to participate in Hollywood. But he doesn't owe anything to Fox, not only has it brought tens of millions of dollars in box office profits to Fox, but the subsequent revenues such as videotapes and TV broadcast rights combined, the total profit will definitely exceed 100 million US dollars. And he only got less than $1 million in remuneration from it, speaking of which, Fox can be regarded as a pick, and after getting off the stall, he didn't even get a box office hit red envelope. Eric thinks that this may have something to do with Fawkes's mistake in the first place, even though Fawkes himself refused to sell it in the first place, Fawkes will definitely take his anger on him. It's still the same thing. When a person commits an unbearable offense. Always subconsciously anger others and refuse to reflect on themselves.

As soon as Murdoch wanted to get close to Eric, he was pushed back directly, and even the face that was accustomed to seeing the world flashed a trace of embarrassment.

"Eric, I've heard that other TV stations have been in contact with you?"

The contact between representatives of the three major television stations and Eric has been in the newspapers, and even the big names have made relevant analysis articles, and most of the newspapers are pessimistic about whether Fox TV can hold on to the broadcast rights for the next season.

"Yes, the terms they offer are very tempting. ”

Murdoch took a sip of the coffee in front of him with some irritation, and he also realized that the young man in front of him was not easy to deal with at all. If he continues to talk with the other party without being salty, this little guy will definitely be with him to the end.

Putting down the coffee cup, Murdoch decided to get straight to the point: "Eric, do you think this is good, Fox TV will increase the advertising revenue to Firefly to 70% in exchange for the premiere rights for the next four quarters?"

As long as he can get the broadcast rights of the first five seasons, Murdoch believes that Fox TV will be able to gain a firm foothold in North America after five years of development with the influence of this hit movie, so after five seasons. Fox also has the confidence to renegotiate with Fireflies in terms of the share ratio according to the ratings.

Eric looked up at Murdoch: "Mr. Murdoch." Is this Fox's sincerity?"

"Doesn't that show Fox's sincerity?" Murdoch asked rhetorically.

Eric immediately shook his head, if it was a normal situation, this sharing ratio was indeed very sincere.

The television industry is different from the film industry, because TV stations are not bound by relevant anti-monopoly laws, they can produce their own TV programs and be self-sufficient. Therefore, TV stations are very strong before the independent production of American dramas, and under normal circumstances, TV stations get the broadcast rights from the producer in the form of buyouts, even if Warner, these film and television giants can enjoy the treatment of advertising sharing by virtue of their strength, and the share ratio will not exceed 40% at most, usually only about 30%.

But this time the situation is completely different, for Fox TV, which is now in its infancy, the super high ratings brought by it are just a foundation, and the most important thing is that it can help Fox TV in the development stage to quickly increase its popularity and cultivate viewers.

"Mr. Murdoch, before that, the average viewership on Fox was only a few million, less than a tenth of the fixed TV audience in North America. Let's not talk about the super high ratings that can bring more than 20 million people to Fox during the broadcast process, even if this season is finished, it can at least increase the average viewership of Fox to more than 10 million.

Murdoch stared at Eric tightly and said, "Eric, you should know that the price I just offered is almost twice as much as the other producers can get." ”

Under the gaze of the media tycoon in front of him, Eric did not show any timidity, but smiled lightly: "Mr. Murdoch, I believe you must have conducted some investigations, then you should know that the three major TV stations are not much lower than you in order to snatch them away." And some people have also calculated with me that if I broadcast it on a few old TVB TV stations, the advertising revenue will increase by more than 10%, plus this 10% compensation, in fact, it is already about the same price as Fox. Compared with Fox, I chose to cooperate with other established TVB TV stations, and I will definitely get more benefits. ”

After Eric finished speaking, he lowered his head slightly again and picked up the coffee in front of him, not looking at Murdoch's expression, he believed that the so-called 70% advertising share was just a test for Murdoch.

Feeling the delicate white porcelain in his hand, Eric soon noticed that a pale green plant was depicted on the ceramic coffee cup, which was quite like an ink painting. Seeing this, Eric suddenly felt the urge to turn the cup upside down, to see if the word 'made-in-a' was engraved on the underside.

However, Eric soon laughed at the thought, and this abrupt smile made Murdoch feel very inexplicable, but the expression on his face relaxed with Eric's smile.

"Eric, let's talk about your conditions, what does Fox have to do to get the premiere rights to the sequel?" (to be continued......)
