[Chapter 1164 Who stole my button]

Remember [Lewen Novel Network] in one second, providing you with wonderful novel reading.

Of course, compared to Elite and IMG, WM is a small modeling agency after all.

It does not happen overnight that a brokerage company wants to grow and develop. Although Eric is happy to see WM reach the level of standing side by side with companies such as Elite, he will not encourage it.

Near noon and the meeting was coming to an end, Eric heard Paul Roland’s final test about this year’s Victoria’s Secret show, and replied: “The list of most of the Victoria’s Secret Angels this year has been determined. So, besides Carmen, LTD that The side can only give WM three more places, provided that the models you provide must pass the interview. However, regarding the promotion of models, I have given Carmen some business cards, and you need to operate the specific things yourself. ”

The places of Victoria’s Secret Angel are more and more occupied by industry giants such as ELite and IMG. WM can get four places at one time, which is almost equivalent to one-tenth of the Victoria’s Secret Legion, which has made Paul Roland very satisfied.

Hearing that Eric had given Carmen Keith some business cards, Paul Rowland was even more excited.

Finally, the topic was over. Paul Roland was planning to invite Eric to a nearby restaurant for dinner. He noticed the shaking figure outside the transparent glass door of the conference room, and said, “Then, Eric, I want to tell everyone. A few words?”

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

After receiving a positive answer, Paul Rowland made a waited expression, got up and walked out in person.

After a while, a large group of girls came in one after another, quickly crowding the conference room, looking at Eric sitting at the conference table with expressions of excitement, anticipation or provocation.

Seeing this, other WM partners and executives all got up and left to make way for the space.

The girls who were acquainted on weekdays stood around, and Carmen Keith, who was sitting beside Eric, got up embarrassed and took the initiative to stand behind the man.

Eric leaned on the back of the chair, looked at the girls who had obviously reapplied their makeup with admiration, and smiled: “Everyone must have guessed something, you are right, I am now the boss of WM Company. One of them. So, you will definitely get 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 pay attention to this. Therefore, the specific operation of the company will not change much, but you can get it. More opportunities, and this also requires you to work hard enough.”

After saying this, seeing the expressions of these goblins suddenly turned serious, Eric deliberately put away his expression, lifted his still open sleeve, and said, “Then, in the end, who will put my buttons? Steal it, and return it soon.”

The girls were all stunned. Although they realized that Eric was probably joking, no one dared to be 100% sure about 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 buttons.

Then, because Eric brought the topic to this, everyone gradually noticed that a girl in the crowd was wearing a light blue shirt with the exact same color as Eric’s shirt, and even the buttons on the shirt were all is white.

The only difference is that the shirt on the girl is women’s, but it looks more like a couple’s outfit when matched with Eric’s.

Noticing that everyone around her turned their attention to herself, even Eric Williams looked over, the girl also realized this, and she was a little embarrassed and opened her mouth, but she didn’t know what to say.

The scene was quiet for a moment, and the goblins made eye contact, and they didn’t know who started it. Everyone quickly surrounded the girl who was ‘colliding’ with Eric.

Immediately afterwards, the girl screamed with laughter from the crowd: “Ah,

You, these, haha, it’s so itchy, don’t, too hard, it hurts.

”

Paul Rowland and other WM executives who were standing at the door were all black lines when they saw this sudden situation, and they didn’t know if they should step forward to stop it.

Eric was also a little surprised. Hearing the girl’s pained voice, he was about to speak to stop it, but the girls had spread out again.

Then, the goblins laughed and brought the ‘trophy’ they had just grabbed to Eric. Only the girl was standing by the wall with the collar of her shirt that had lost all buttons in her hands. The hem is still open, revealing a seductively slender waist and a flat belly.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Eric couldn’t help laughing, but quickly said: “It’s too much, I can’t do this in the future. However, the company should have a fitting room, who will help me find some needles and threads?”

The fitting room of the model company usually has complete clothing equipment, which is convenient for modifying the clothes that the model needs to try on at any time. There is naturally no shortage of small items such as needles and threads. Carolina, who is familiar with Eric, immediately volunteered. ran out.

Eric looked at the girl who was still standing by the wall. She had blonde hair and a slender figure. She was wearing high heels that were obviously over 1.8 meters tall. In addition to that beautiful face that was full of high street style, she could score at least 85 points overall.

After taking a few glances, Eric asked with great interest, “So, what’s your name?”

Although it still hurts 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 Hee. Kerson.”

Eric twisted a button and said with a smile: “Lend me one of these first, you can buy a new dress, and the company will help you pay the bill.”

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

“It’s definitely going to pay you a piece of clothing,” Eric said to Amy Hickson when he saw Carolina came back with a sewing box, and said to the other girls, “I like to grab other people’s clothes. Buttons are not a good habit, and that needs to be changed. Now, that’s all for today, everyone, let’s go.”

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

Paul Rowland and others waited until the remaining two girls, Carmen Keith and Carolina, helped Eric sew the cuffs and buttons before coming in to invite him to lunch.

There were no other arrangements at noon, and Eric did not refuse.

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

For a time, Elite, IMG and other companies have a feeling of being on the verge of an enemy.

These companies are very clear that even if Eric only holds 1% of the shares of WM, but with the entire Firefly system as the backing, as long as Eric is willing, WM will definitely soon develop into a large model agency that can change the industry pattern. .

Entering a new week, the Nasdaq’s plummeting trend remains.

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

In terms of movies, the announcement of the two blockbusters “Gravity” and “The Lord of the Rings”, which will be released by Firefly Group at the end of the year, has been fully launched.

Cameron’s “Spider-Man” is expected to be completed in one month, and Eric automatically extended the deadline to two months.

Although the “Peerless Catastrophe” in charge of Michael Bay started filming later than “Spider-Man”, it has already been completed at this time and post-production has begun.

The film is expected to be released in the summer of next year, and the schedule is determined in May. The schedule of “Spider-Man” is also determined in the summer of next year, but it is two months later than “Peerless Calamity”.

Casting for “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” has ended, with filming set to begin next month and the film coming out late next year.

The three little guys that were finally determined were completely different from before, but the character images were very satisfactory, and Eric did not directly intervene.

The follow-up plans for the Marvel Cinematic Universe were officially rolled out across the board. Due to sufficient planning, the three projects of “Captain America”, “Thor” and “Hulk” were launched almost simultaneously. At this time, intense role auditions were underway.

“Iron Man 2” has also entered the preparatory stage, Joss Whedon will continue to serve as the director, the project is successful, and Eric will naturally not quit.

In addition, due to the continuous success of “Cars” and “Shrek”, Eric also pays close attention to the operation of several major animation studios of the Firefly system.

After Cars, Pixar is currently working on The Incredibles, with several more projects in the works.

In order to lengthen the cycle and maximize profits, Eric did not let Pixar start “Cars 2” immediately, but decided to set the release time of the sequel seven years later.

Animated movies have a seven-year cycle. At that time, a new group of children’s audiences will appear, once again supporting the hot peripheral sales of the “Cars” series.

The first 3D animated feature film “Rapunzel” by Disney Animation Studios is more than half completed, and it is expected to be released smoothly in the summer of next year.

Blue Sky Studio is jointly owned by Firefly Group and Fox Group. Since “Ice Age” and “Shrek” have been successful, Eric is not in a hurry to let this studio open too many new movies.

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

Because he was in New York, Eric put a lot of energy into the TV business.

Based on some of the original popular series, the highlight of the ABC TV network this year is undoubtedly “American Idol”.

After the success of the British version of “Pop Idol”, the ABC also attached great importance to this reality show. Simon Fuller also specially let go of his work in the United Kingdom, and specially took three months to personally present here for “America”. Idol”, the project has completed the initial selection of players, and will officially log on to the ABC TV network in September.

In terms of cable TV, AE TV’s TV stations have maintained strong growth in recent years. In addition to “Sexy City”, “Project Runway” and “America’s Next Top Model”, Annie Sweeney has also developed additional TV shows. A series of very popular new TV shows.

ESPN, despite a brief turmoil following the departure of Steve Bernstein, has stabilized.

Eric is completely ignorant of the operation of sports TV, so he is solely responsible for the management of the company.

The newly acquired TV station has officially completed the formulation of a new program schedule and marketing plan, and preparations for “Shameless” are also very smooth, and the production of the pilot episode can be started this month.

As the Firefly system continues to grow and develop, Eric also finds it harder and harder to focus on one thing.

Although the power of each company is delegated to the maximum extent, the accumulation of official business that needs to be handled by Eric himself is enough to blow up his work schedule.

In the blink of an eye, it is already August 6th, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com Friday.

Inside Eric’s temporary office at ABC Group headquarters on 66th Street on the Upper West Side.

As the end of get off work is approaching, and I will fly to Australia tomorrow, 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 this week that had just been sorted out. He had no time during the day, so he could only take it back and look at it at night. 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, just marked to give it to you in person. Perhaps, you can call Miss Murdoch and ask ask.”

Eric had only spoken to Elizabeth on the phone in the morning and hadn’t heard her mention it.

It should have been sent privately by Rebecca Wade.

At the end of last year in London, Rebecca Wade was entrusted by Elizabeth to send Eric a breakfast. Eric was not impressed with her, but knew that she was a very sophisticated woman.

However, after a little pondering, the “Sun”, the secret package, has to be handed over to myself.

Adding these elements together, it will not be the news about itself that the “Sun” secretly suppresses.

After all, The Sun is Britain’s premier gossip tabloid.

Mayer obviously also thought of this, and his expression became a little weird.

After carefully combing it, Eric noticed Mayer’s eyes, and said helplessly: “I haven’t done anything hurtful recently, or let’s take it apart and have a look together, um, call Carly in too.”

Mayer, who was originally quite curious, heard Eric say this, rolled his eyes immediately, made an arrogant look like ‘I’m not interested in your nonsense’, turned around and left the office.
