Hollywood Hunter

Johnston House.

The loud child cried and Veronica appeared first at the door.

In the living room, Simon and Janet each stood on the side of the room, with a little guy in the middle.

Janet still warmly persuades and encourages, but Melbourne just sits on the rug and cries.Seeing Veronica appear, the little guy immediately spread out a pair of chubby hands towards her, and said with vagueness: "Grandma (NaNa), Hug)."

Veronica looked at the little guy, stepped forward distressedly, but stopped again, looking at Simon with a helpless expression on her hand holding a baby toy.

Tomorrow is December 6, Melbourne’s one-year-old birthday.

Under normal circumstances, young children should be able to try to walk at this time, at least they can also stand, however, it is obviously drowned by everyone, but the little guy is still standing at this time.

Words are learned very early.

Only this made Simon more depressed.

The first word a child learns is not a father or a mother. It doesn’t matter. The grandfather and grandmother, too, are here to take care of.

However, the first word learned by a little guy turned out to be Hug.

I don't admit that I am born, so I hug everyone.

In the face of such a baby who is so cute and coquettish, this kind of demand can of course be met.

As a result, they are often hugged by adults, who were able to climb when they were half a year old. Now they are too lazy to climb, let alone walk.

As for the education of the children, when the little guy was still in Janet's stomach, the two discussed occasionally and said that they must be a good policeman and a bad policeman.

It now appears that Simon and Janet belong to the category of'bad cops'.

Of course, good police are not lacking.

This is basically all in Australia.

Simon didn't speak, Veronica didn't dare to step forward to pick up the child, the little guy saw that the'NaNa' that loved him in the past didn't move, and he cried louder.

Then, the big boss appeared.

Raymond Johnston appeared at the door, glanced at the situation in the room, and immediately understood what was going on.Probably because of the next generation, the old man's spoiling of the little guy is actually even worse, but he glared at his daughter-in-law with a stretched face and walked over and took away the little guy who had already shouted'PaPa, Hug'.

Janet watched the child be taken away by his father, throwing away the rattle in his hand, and looked at Simon, saying, "How can this be done."

Veronica remained in the distance, listening to Janet's words, and said softly: "Mer is still young."

He looked at Simon again.

Simon also dropped the toy in his hand, realizing the obvious concern in Veronica's eyes, hesitating, or just shrugging.

Veronica is clearly worried that the couple will take the little one away this time.

Janet looked at the strange emotional communication between Simon and Veronica. Somewhat depressed, she simply opened her arms and shouted to Simon: "Hug."

Simon noticed the dissatisfaction on Janet's face, got up and walked over with a smile, bent down to hug her light body, kissed the woman's cheek, and then left the living room so greasy.

The old man was also a bit dissatisfied with Simon and Janet’s leaving the children in Australia to take care of Veronica. When he came here last month, he hinted at bringing the little guy back to Los Angeles.

However, these days, seeing the couple teaching their children to walk, suddenly no longer mention something.

In Janet’s words, the old man educated the boss and the second son of his own family, and then he would not be able to train future generations. For the youngest grandson, he was too spoiled.

If the little guy has been on this side and wants to have someone in Westeros' family, the two will probably only have one.

This is of course mostly a joke.

The child is indeed a bit young.

The next day was the one-year-old birthday of the little guy. Preparations were already started in advance. Naturally, it was very lively. A large number of wealthy celebrities from Australia came.

Probably inspired by "The Dream of Red Mansions" which has been reading uninterruptedly, Janet also played a small game of catching the week at the party.

Of course, powders and lipsticks are definitely not, they are all objects with very good meanings.

Never give the little guy a chance to become'Jia Baoyu'.

Finally grabbed a piece of iron ore, the old man was happy for a whole day.

Janet was very depressed, thinking that the little guy grabbed iron ore because it was like chocolate.

Snack goods!

Simon feels that it is more likely that in a pile of serious things like pen watches, the piece of iron ore that is black and slippery is the most serious.The little guy saw something strange in a pair of daily necessities, and of course he would grab it curiously.

The size of the Westeros system is too large, even if it is a vacation, Simon cannot completely let go of everything.

In North America, the most eye-catching during Thanksgiving is not the "Ghost House 2", which is of course able to obtain a high box office, but the sale of videotapes of Victoria's Secret Show.

After ABC TV broadcast created a viewing miracle, Daenerys Entertainment quickly put on a video of the big show a week later.

Whether it is the memorable enchanting style of the Victorian Secret Army, or the five consecutive major capitals that have become the classic new songs in the big show, it has greatly promoted the sale of the Victoria Secret show tapes.

It happened to be the peak sales season during the holiday season. Only in the first week of the shelves, the video tapes of the Vimy show quickly sold 780,000 boxes.

If it wasn't for the video tapes were too hot, the production and distribution could not keep up with the demand, and the sales volume of 1 million boxes in the first week was no problem.

In the following two weeks, the weekly sales volume of this video cassette reached 1.36 million boxes and 950,000 boxes respectively.

In just a week, the total sales volume reached 3.09 million boxes.

At a price of around US$30, 3.09 million video cassettes and sales exceeded US$90 million.

Obviously, this is just the beginning.

It is widely predicted in the industry that probably only North America, the sales volume of this phenomenon-level video cassette can exceed 10 million boxes, and it is even expected to reach a total sales volume of 15 million boxes worldwide.

It’s important to know that Hollywood’s best box office scores in recent years are the same as the total global sales after the release of the tape.

15 million boxes, $450 million in sales.

It is definitely a miracle.

Over the years, Hollywood has been trying to catch up with Daenerys Entertainment as much as possible.

However, this video tape alone gave other competitors a sense of frustration.

Whether it is the entertainment industry or the fashion industry, the sales of video clips on Wei Mi show are all amazing.

Then there was even news that the Ford model agency tried to request a share of the videotape sale.

According to the basic agreement between Hollywood and the major guilds, film and television creators do have the right to receive a small percentage of the sales of video tapes. However, this video cassette is completely an exception.

Even if some of the Victoria's Secret Angels have actor status, this time, Daenerys Entertainment and the Victoria's Secret Army signed an ordinary catwalk contract.

If you want to share the soup, don't even think about it.

Amy Pascal heard the news and let out the words directly. If the Ford company intends to make trouble, next year's model of this company will not want to go to the Victoria's Secret TV station.

It was clear that it was impossible to divide up, and in the face of such a warning, the eager parties immediately fell down.

This big show is obvious for the career advancement of participating models.

Because of the super high ratings and the sale of video tapes on TV, forty Victoria Secret Angels already have a public awareness that far exceeds other models in the same industry, and cooperation invitations are coming.

The competition in the fashion circle is fierce, and everyone can expect such an advantage. Naturally, there will be no exceptions.

In case it is really kicked out, someone will cry and laugh.

The one who cried was kicked away, the one who laughed was trying to find a way to get into the game.

The chairman of the company, Leslie Wexner, was even more fortunate with regret. At the time, he almost agreed to fully authorize the Wei Mi show to Daenerys Entertainment. If you do so, the huge profits brought by this video sales, Don’t want to get LTD for a penny, unfortunately, if you can fully bear the investment of Victoria Secret Show instead of sharing the budget with Daenerys Entertainment, most of the income this time will be owned by LTD. .

The sales of 450 million US dollars, excluding all costs, the net profit is estimated to be 150 million US dollars.

For the entire LTD, the net profit in most years is not necessarily so much.

Of course, Leslie Wexner also knows that this time, the one-time gain may be very large.

After all, the first Wei Mi show was basically Simon Westero personally. Whether it was the design of an angel costume or the production of background music, Westero spent a lot of thought, so it gave the audience a An unprecedented sense of stunning.

In the future, the Victoria's Secret Show will certainly receive much attention. However, because the angel is predestined to be unable to make too much innovation, Westeros is unlikely to have been creating songs for the Victoria's Secret Show. The sensation was basically impossible.

Of course, having such a time is enough to make people happy.

The focus of this operation, Wei Mi brand, compared with 1991, this year's overall sales are expected to increase significantly by 30%, most of which are achieved in the majority of the six months after the Westero system completed the acquisition of LTD.

It is estimated that next year, the sales growth of Wei Mi will probably reach 40% to 50%.

Keeping this sales growth rate, within five years, Victoria Secret will be able to grow into the largest underwear brand in North America.

On the other hand, LTD's fast fashion transformation of the fashion business is also quite smooth.

Leslie Wexner is an experienced businessman who has been immersed in the fashion industry for many years.

In the past, I just failed to find a suitable direction. After getting Simon’s guidance, Leslie Wexner seriously investigated the Spanish Zara brand that has developed its business to North America, and quickly clarified the company’s expansion model. The Express brand under LTD is adjusted and transformed accordingly.

Simon thought that this holiday could stay peacefully in Australia until after the New Year.

However, after the news of the success of the Victoria's Secret videotape, there was suddenly a bad news from North America.

The thing is about Time Warner.

Everyone knows that because of cancer, Steve Rose has run out of time.

However, after more than half a year of treatment, at least on the surface, Ross seems to be showing signs of improvement, and he still firmly controls the Time Warner Group during the year.

Time Warner’s situation, except for the movie business supported by the DC movie universe, is somewhat unsatisfactory.

Waiting patiently for more than half a year, with the end of the year, some people are restless again.

Gerald Levin, the current vice chairman of Time Warner, who has been appointed as the next successor by Ross, has suddenly suffered a problem recently. A large number of shareholders and senior executives from Time Warner have requested that Rose be unable to concentrate on the company because of serious illness. Steve Rose stepped down

The most direct result of this coup d'état was not Rose's resignation, but Time Warner's stock price plummeted.

Naturally, some other people immediately expressed dissatisfaction, especially the hardcore supporters of the Ross faction.

The two sides have exchanged visits in the media and in private.

After all, no one wants Time Warner's stock price to keep falling.

But, soon another thing happened.

On December 13, Steve Rose suddenly fell into a coma, unconscious.

After examination, the doctor determined that the lung infection was caused by cancer complications.

For a patient with advanced cancer, because its own immune system is too fragile, the cancer itself is often not fatal, and complications are the most dangerous.

Two days later, after an emergency operation, Steve Rose’s family announced that Rose’s condition had stabilized again.

However, people familiar with the inside story know that Steve Rose is still in a coma, and it is likely that he will not be able to survive this difficulty.

News inevitably spread, and Time Warner's stock price fell again.

As a result, the high-level coup, Ross was critically ill, and continued to turmoil for a week. The cumulative accumulation still caused Time Warner's stock price to fall by 16%. The market value fell from $17.3 billion at the beginning of the incident to $14.5 billion. $2.8 billion.

At this time, everyone is no longer troubled.

In just one week, it brought investors a $2.8 billion book homeopathic. If you take it into account, everyone may have to get out.

Moreover, as Rose is critically ill, trouble is completely unnecessary.

Time Warner executives also realized that it was most important to avoid the company from continuing to fall into turmoil at this time.

However, when it comes to further power distribution, the factions of all parties are once again stuck in a stalemate.

The culprit leading to the recent series of events was Gerald Levin, and then he dared not face off in public again, but the Rose faction also strongly invited Gerald Levin to take responsibility in private.

To put it simply, he gave up his original heir to Rose's position.

Gerald Levin launched ahead of time, that is, he didn't want to wait any longer, so as to avoid extracurricular branches. Of course, everyone is very concerned about the market value of the stock price. However, if you can’t control Time Warner, this company will not matter to him.
