I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 1200

[Chapter 1166 lift the lid]

Perhaps because of some primitive sense of territory, Eric was very uncomfortable with the sudden appearance of strangers in his private life.

After dinner, I chatted with Cindy and Linda for a while, and saw Catherine Neumann, who had cleaned up the housework, appear in the living room holding a book, Eric got up and walked to the study.

There was the package sent by Rebecca Wade on the desk. Eric put the information of the Img Group next to him. After sitting down, he turned on the computer and found the paper cutter to open the package.

The package contained a simple handwritten letter and a box of DVDs.

Eric first opened Rebecca Wade’s handwritten letter and read it.

In the letter, Rebecca Wade told Eric that the disc was a documentary about the e1ite brokerage competition scandal to be aired next week on BBc.

Once this documentary is broadcast, it is likely to have a subversive impact on the entire modeling industry.

Considering some of the industrial layout of the Firefly system, she sent samples of the documentary for Eric to decide whether to intervene, and said she could provide some help.

News Corp.’s ‘intelligence gathering ability’ is evident from the many details revealed by the eavesdropping scandal. Eric was not too curious about the source of the DVD in his opponent’s hand.

The picture is obviously from a candid shot of a tiny camera lens, with a blurry black border around it.

The content of the documentary is a behind-the-scenes interview with the e1ite model contest in Nice, France, which just concluded last month.

BBc reporters approached a series of competition leaders as patrons, and then filmed the blatant words and deeds of these people who said they were going to bed the girls participating in the competition. The documentary even showed a girl being tricked into taking hailuoin at the end. .

Moreover, the documentary emphasized one point. In this e1ite model contest held in Nice, France, the average age of the contestants was less than 15 years old, and the youngest girl was only 12 years old, and only a small number of contestants reached the age of adulthood.

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

Usually, however, only the messy private lives of individual models are exposed by the media, and a large-scale scandal directly involving an industry giant like e1ite has yet to happen.

This documentary by BBc is equivalent to directly lifting the lid and showing the darkest side of the modeling industry to the public.

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

Faced with the pressure of discussion, governments of various countries will definitely re-enact relevant laws and regulations.

e1ite, the world’s largest model agency, will also become a rat in the street, and its decline is almost inevitable.

Even though the beautiful stunners who appear around Eric always show their best side, he has never been naive enough to think that this industry is really as glamorous and beautiful as the surface.

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

However, with the continuous improvement of wealth and power, Eric’s attitude towards the world has become more and more indifferent in his heart.

Just like a human being, it is destined not to be too interested in the foraging, reproduction, fighting, and biting in the world of ants. If you can not step on it at will, it is already a pity.

Right now, if the broadcast of this documentary will only affect the e1ite company, Eric is destined to just sit on the sidelines.

It’s just that the BBc’s behavior of lifting the lid is second to the governments of various countries to strengthen industry control.

The most critical point is that after the documentary is broadcast, just like many xx families, the people’s dark associations with the fashion circle will be materialized, which will then affect the public image of the entire modeling industry.

Eric has just invested in m company, and Cindy will buy Img next.

If e1ite goes into decline,

Ostensibly good for firefly systems.

But the scandal, and the storm of controversy that could follow, was enough to drag the industry down.

The top model group Victoria’s Secret Army created by Eric himself may also be affected.

Either point is enough to offset the benefits of e1ite’s decline.

After thinking for a moment, Eric picked up the phone and dialed Mayer.

“Mary, it’s me… You check the contact information of the person in charge of BBc, send an email to the other party, say I saw their TV show about e1ite, and hope that BBc can be removed. In return, Firefly can increase a part of the investment BBc Group’s advertising budget…well, I know that, you can do it right away. Also, call John Casablanca and ask him to see me tomorrow morning.”

After hanging up Mayer’s call, Eric took out the Img Group’s information and just looked at it for a while, and Linda, who had changed into a beautiful set of pajamas, floated in.

“What are you doing prenatal education? It makes me want to sleep.” She leaned into Eric’s arms lazily. Linda put her arms around the man’s neck and complained in a sour tone, “Maybe the little guy is already asleep. In the future, not only will you not become smarter, but you will also feel sleepy when you read a book.”

Linda has always had no advantage in front of Cindy, but this time Cindy became pregnant again, but her stomach didn’t move much, and she seemed quite resentful recently.

Eric hugged the woman’s slender waist and couldn’t help but think of the documentary just now.

Rebecca Wade sent this documentary, perhaps there is another layer of meaning.

The president of e1ite Europe involved in the documentary is actually Linda’s ex-husband.

Once the scandal is exposed, the other party will definitely be notorious, but Linda, who is now more famous, will inevitably be dragged in by the media.

Putting aside these thoughts, Eric patted the woman soothingly and said with a smile, “Don’t complain, you will have this day sooner or later.”

“But I want it now,” Linda rubbed against Eric, and then leaned into the man’s ear with a blushing face and breathed warmly: “Eric, I consulted the doctor and learned some things. Something, let’s try it now?”

Eric immediately smiled and shook his head: “No, you’re really hitting men’s enthusiasm for this kind of purpose.”

Linda opened her mouth and bit the man’s neck angrily, feeling the strength of Eric’s hand on her waist, she rolled her eyes, stretched out her hand and started to unbutton his shirt, and then slowly all the way. bit down.

The next morning, saying goodbye to the two women, Eric rushed directly to the helipad by the Hudson River.

Caroline and Mayer were already waiting here. After Eric got out of the car, Mayer walked over with his BlackBerry phone: “Eric, BBc President Mark Thompson refused.”

Eric took the phone, flipped through the email on the screen, and asked casually, “Where’s John Casablanca?”

“Mr Casablanca lives in Greenwich and he just called and said he’ll be there in ten minutes.”

Greenwich is more than 40 kilometers north of Manhattan, and it already belongs to Connecticut. Many Manhattan’s rich and senior white-collar workers live there.

Eric responded, after reading Mark Thompson’s high-sounding refusal not to violate the BBc Group’s own code of conduct because of business interests, he handed the phone back to Mayer: “Give me a copy of Mark Thompson’s Telephone.”

Mayer skillfully dialed a series of numbers, said a few words to the other side, and handed the phone to Eric.

Eric put the phone to his ear and said, “Mark Thompson?”

A middle-aged voice in a standard London accent came from the receiver: “Hello, Mr. Williams. It’s a pleasure to talk to you, but if it’s about the email, sorry, I can’t promise you. , BBc has its own sense of social responsibility, we will not be manipulated by others.”

“If this is the case, then forget it,” Eric said in a flat tone, “However, when it comes to social responsibility, I will ask someone to make a more profound documentary, for example, about Jimmy Savile, what do you think? ?”

After Eric finished speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Mark Thompson to answer.

The two women who were standing by and watching Eric talking to Mark Thompson were a little stunned. He didn’t expect him to hang up so quickly.

Caroline opened her mouth when she heard Jimmy Savile’s name, and just as she was about to say something, the phone that Eric hung up rang again.

Putting the phone to his ear again, Eric’s tone was still flat: “So?”

Mark Thompson showed obvious anger: “Mr. Williams, are you threatening BBc?”

Eric casually pressed the hang up button again.

Then, a minute later, the bell rang again, albeit at a slightly longer interval this time.

“so?”

Mark Thompson’s attitude softened significantly this time: “Okay, Mr. Williams, I’ll take that documentary down. However, you also have to make sure that what you just said will never happen.”

Eric nodded and said, “Of course, it’s a pleasure to talk to you, Mark, bye.”

When Eric hung up the phone, Caroline finally said: “Eric, what’s wrong with Sir Savile? He is a very good person. I used to watch his shows when I was a child.”

Jimmy Savile, BBc’s best-known children’s and music presenter, is in his seventies this year.

In the most popular period, thousands of children wrote to him every week.

In addition to this heavy identity, Jimmy Savile is also a knight of the Queen of England, and he is close friends with many British politicians and celebrities such as Mrs Thatcher, and enjoys a very high reputation in British society.

Of course, this is all just an appearance.

In my memory, more than ten years later, until Jimmy Savile just passed away, the scandal involving him finally exploded.

It turned out that this apparently virtuous host had violated hundreds of underage children as young as 8 years old during his decades of hosting career.

Moreover, during the whole process, Jimmy Savile’s behavior has almost become a well-known fact within BBc, but for the sake of its own reputation, BBc chose to actively conceal it for the other party many times, which directly led to Jimmy Savile’s evil deeds lasted for half a century.

For BBc, who is good at pinpointing the current situation and often discloses the insider of various industries, the whole thing has to be said to be a great irony.

At this moment, Eric looked at Caroline’s clear and bright eyes and whispered mysteriously: “You don’t know, he is actually a homosexual. Think about it, a harmonious family and a successful career are popular among children. The old guy who welcomes suddenly becomes gay, and people will definitely not be very willing to accept it.”

Caroline wrinkled her nose, a little distressed, and said: “This, Eric, this is not good, sexuality is a very personal thing, you should not use him to bargain with others.”

Eric nodded solemnly: “Well, I promise, there will never be a next time.”

Mayer stood by, listening to Eric talking to Caroline in a serious manner, his eyes flashed, and when he saw the man looking over, he glanced away casually.

Moments later, a Cadillac came to the tarmac.

Although he was a little scornful of Eric Williams’ attitude of coming to him, John Casablanca, president of e1ite, trotted over after getting out of the car and greeted warmly with a smile on his face: “Sorry, William It’s a long way to go, Mr. Muss. Gee, that’s a nice helicopter.”

Eric and John Casablanca shook hands, and without much greeting, handed the box of DVDs to each other and said, “This was originally a documentary that BBc is going to broadcast next week, and I helped you down. But remember, this is the only time, next time there is a problem, I will let aBc follow up in person, and e1ite will just close the door.”

Although he didn’t know what happened, John Casablanca listened to Eric’s solemn tone without any jokes, and immediately put away the smile on his face, took the box of DVDs and said, “Mr. Williams, what’s the matter? ?”

“I’m in a hurry, you can go back and see for yourself. In addition, I plan to transfer Al’s contract to Img. A lawyer will contact you soon.”

Due to the Img elite system, the contracts of Cindy, Linda, Gisele and Miranda are all under the Img model company, and only Alexander remains at e1ite.

Now that the intention to acquire the Img Group has occurred, and now such a mess has occurred, Eric decided to transfer Alexander’s contract from e1ite.

As for the other e1ite angels under the Victoria’s Secret Army, Eric doesn’t care.

John Casablanca had realized the seriousness of the matter and wanted to continue to ask questions, but Eric had already waved his hand and boarded the helicopter with the two Caroline girls and a group of bodyguards.

Watching the black Vh-6o take off and whizz away, John Casablanca also hurriedly left the tarmac and rushed to the headquarters of e1ite. A person came to a conference room of the company and couldn’t wait to put the box of DVDs into the player.

After watching the video for more than half an hour, John Casablanca was already in a cold sweat.

Although the content of the video has nothing to do with him at all, John Casablanca is very clear that if this documentary is really broadcast, e1ite’s carefully operated model contest for more than 20 years will be destroyed, and the company will not only usher in a large number of lawsuits, Its models will also be forced to leave because of the scandal.

By then, e1ite is destined to decline very quickly.

And, most importantly, he himself could only be forced to leave the modeling agency he founded.

Unlike the McCormack family behind Img, over the years, John Casablanca has not held much e1ite shares in his hands. The company has made such a big mistake, and the board of directors will definitely not allow him to remain in the position of e1ite president.

Completely trembling and smashing all the bits and pieces on the conference table to the ground, John Casablanca slumped on a chair, his thoughts gradually calmed down, and he began to think about the next thing.

Eric Williams is going to take away Alessandro Ambrosio’s contract, which is tantamount to cutting ties with e1ite entirely.

At least, certainly can’t let this kind of thing happen.

Thinking of this, John Casablanca’s thoughts gradually turned to Eric’s recent investment in m company.

…

Eric’s Boeing 747 took off from Long Island Airport and had no plans to fly directly to Heaney, but to make a short layover at Ventura Airport.

Microsoft President Steve Ballmer was already waiting there, Yahoo and Microsoft re-signed the contract, and Eric needed to hand over the video to each other.

In fact, Steve Ballmer happened to be a hardliner who advocated immediately cutting off all cooperation with Yahoo to develop its own Internet business. The door classmate obviously did not want to see Eric again, so he called Steve Ballmer over.

What Eric means is that the fewer people know about the video, the better. The number of people who have seen the video on his side is only one hand, and it is better for Microsoft to do the same.

Even in the follow-up negotiations with the Justice Department, it is best to limit the insiders to only a few people, such as the president and the attorney general.

As Microsoft’s major shareholder and one of the core executives, Steve Ballmer is obviously qualified to know this.

“The Los Angeles side will receive a document about the Img Group today. You send an e-mail to Edward and let them assess whether there will be a legal conflict with the existing industry if I personally participate in the acquisition of Img.”

“Regarding the Clover Fund, let the finance department make a long-term profit distribution plan. I don’t want the financial reports of companies like Berkshire Hathaway and State Street Global to indirectly expose Firefly Group’s earnings this year.”

“Also, the announcement of “Gravity” should focus on Jodie Foster and George Clooney as much as possible. I will participate in those shows this time.”

“…”

In the study room in the front cabin of the Boeing 747, after the plane flew smoothly, Eric began to discuss some work matters with the two women Caroline.

After chatting for a while, Caroline left the study with a few documents, but Mayer pretended to help Eric organize the desk and deliberately dawdled behind.

Opening a document of the Img Group Sports Training Academy, Eric noticed Mayer’s actions and smiled, “Mary, what’s the matter?”

Mayer straightened up, looked at the man’s expression, and said, “Well, what happened to Jimmy Savile?”

Eric watched Mayer’s flickering eyes for a while, then smiled and held the girl’s little hand, his tone still serious: “He’s a gay, you know, it’s very troublesome to expose this kind of thing. ”

Mayer’s flickering eyes gradually calmed down, but he quickly grabbed the hand held by Eric, with a little dissatisfaction in his tone: “Eric, when you lied to me, it didn’t look like you at all. So caring for Carly.”

“Okay, next time I will definitely improve, this time I’ll make do with it.”

“Um.”
