America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM.

Chapter 271 270. The five women face each other and have a showdown!

According to Eric's arrangement, Facebook decisively announced that it would permanently close businesses related to drifting bottles and other related businesses that may involve pornography.

And he challenged Myspace very unkindly. Although he didn't mention it by name, there are only two large-scale social networks on the market, and everyone knows it.

The ball was kicked back to myspace in an instant. I have already responded. Shouldn't you also express it?
what?
You don't want to express it?
terribly sorry! It's not up to you!

Because the market will teach you how to be a good person, just look at the public's reaction.

Just after Facebook's announcement, everyone's eyes turned to MySpace, waiting for its response.

"Yesterday morning Eric Cooper gave a furious speech, and in the evening the major TV stations began to criticize Facebook and MySpace. When I woke up, Facebook made a positive reply. I like this kind of socially responsible company."

"Myspace kids, now is the time to see who the clown is."

"I support Facebook's approach, but I think the function of permanently turning off the drift bottle can be discussed? In fact, I like this function very much."

"What! The drift bottle function is not available! This is my favorite aspect of Facebook. The sense of mystery and anticipation when throwing and picking up bottles is really good. Why should I turn it off!"

"I agree. Yesterday I also asked my son to cancel his account."

"Can you tell me your opinion on the large amount of pornographic content on the MySpace website?" the reporter continued to ask.

Moreover, today another global blockbuster film "Star Legend 2" joins the ranks of snipers.

More than 3000 theaters opened at the same time. Vin Diesel, who has a good box office appeal among young people, stars in the movie. The first part also received a good reputation.

Myspace pretended not to say anything and called the police to expel protesters who disrupted work order.

"you mean?"

However, after this statement was issued, the treatment received by Facebook was as bad as the one on the ground, almost all of which were scolded.

Then Fitz called.

"Thank you for your hard work. In addition, the navy will continue to buy. Please set the pace for me. The greater the wave of public opinion, the faster the security bureau will take action."

"Unhealthy content has indeed had serious adverse effects on young people. Myspace has also played a certain role in fueling many sexual assault cases. We have noticed many people's messages and complaints on the official website."

"Boss, the Security Bureau is gone. We have received the official letter, and myspace must have received it too. They are finished!" Fitz said happily.

"Million Dollar Baby" has been under continuous attack, especially affected by this incident, and its box office has not yet exceeded 100 million.

"Boss, are you worried that James Murdoch will use unfair means to destroy our online ecosystem?"

Now we just sit and wait for the other party to fall.

June is about to enter, and many countries in the northern hemisphere are already hot enough to wear short-sleeves. At this time, going to the cinema to watch an ice and snow storm can really cool down and relieve the heat.

And some people have already held up signs to protest, asking Myspace to give an explanation as soon as possible.

Many bloggers who follow hot topics on Facebook and YouTube have come to take pictures in front of the Myspace headquarters. It seems that this place is evolving into a place for future Internet celebrities to check in.

This practice was exposed by many self-media, and then caused even more turbulent dissatisfaction.

"This is the job responsibility of the Security Bureau. I have not yet been notified of the relevant information, but the government will not sit idly by and ignore Internet companies that have caused bad impacts."

"I get hundreds of bottles every day, and more than 85% of them are normal dating content and have nothing to do with peripheral information."

Public opinion on the Internet is fierce, and the people are already angry. Eric also hired a lot of trolls to lead the rhythm, constantly pushing MySpace to the edge of the cliff.

"Those who often use drift bottles raise their hands. Its original intention is to increase social channels. It was just discovered by those disgusting people. However, pornographic content still only accounts for a small part. It would be a pity to turn it off directly."

"Correction, I have been paying attention to the development of the entire incident. In essence, it is still a fight between Eric Cooper and the six major TV stations. Bar Refaeli, Gal Gadot, Facebook, Myspace, etc. are all involved. It’s an extension, and now MGM has turned the corner and is about to pull the plug.”

"After watching the speech, I registered a MySpace account. Oh my God! The content inside is too disgusting. Both men and women are showing their flesh. It's hard to find anything else except sexual organs. I have ordered myself The child has canceled his account.”

"I must increase the intensity of auditing recently and recruit a new group of employees. I will keep an eye on those illegal contents and ban my account immediately once I find them."

Shortly after the White House press conference ended, the Cybersecurity Administration came to an end and stated that it would investigate and collect evidence on the business operations of Facebook and MySpace, and the specific results would be announced at any time.

"Brother, it appears to be Fitzheisenberg, but the actual controller behind it is Eric Cooper, so I doubt that the goal of his furious speech was to attack his competitors! Neither side is What a good man!”

The special effects are powerful, the plot is good, and the overall score is of the highest commercial level. The good reputation among the audience made this blockbuster once again win the box office championship for a week.

"Will the Cyber ​​Security Agency investigate and intervene in this matter?"

"Yes, the most Facebook can do is divest the bottle business and then impose a fine. Myspace is already terminally ill. Porn is its core selling point. Without this selling point, it is nothing."

“Remember, it’s not just about pornography, there are also content that can cause negative effects such as racial discrimination, blasphemy against religion, spreading rumors, etc. At this time, we would rather kill the wrong person than let go.”

"I don't understand. Is the boss of Facebook Fitzheisenberg or Eric Cooper? Can anyone explain?"

Eric hummed: "Don't let down your guard. At this point, I'm worried that someone will jump over the wall and drag us into the funeral."

People who have a reply on their face are really embarrassed to say that they don’t stink.

"I don't care about commercial competition, I just want to know what myspace will do. If it ignores it, I will complain to the Cyber ​​Security Agency."

"You are half in the grave. If you get crazy, you can do anything. It's better to be careful!"

On the big screen, the ice and snow storm brought about by "The Day After Tomorrow" is still raging in movie theaters around the world.

"Don't worry, I will keep an eye on the company recently."

Until today's regular press conference at the White House, a reporter from Yahoo asked this question on the spot.

After the official announcement, MySpace finally reluctantly issued a statement expressing its willingness to cooperate with the investigation, resolutely crack down on harmful content, and maintain a healthy online ecosystem.

A White House spokesperson responded: "The White House has paid attention to the relevant incident and is conducting in-depth discussions on it."

Universal spent US$1.05 million on the film, and it just had the words "I want to make a fortune" written on its face.

Due to continuous sniping, Box’s forecast for “Million Dollar Baby” has been constantly adjusted, from the initial global US$1.8 million to the current US$1.1 million. However, looking at the current situation, it is difficult to reach even 1.1 million US dollars.

Fortunately, the cost of the movie is not high. Even if it doesn't exceed 100 million, it won't be a loss, it will just be a profit.

But it doesn't matter, Eric is still full of confidence, because this month MGM will present the super blockbuster "Frozen" which took more than a year to produce and cost 1.8 million US dollars.

This movie was MGM's most expensive, costing more than "Transformers."

I want to see what you will use to fight me when the time comes!

Night, Beverly Hills, Cooper's house.

Mom and Lisa were preparing dinner in the kitchen, and Eric looked at the bottles of red wine in front of him and compared them.

"I don't know which one to choose?" Dad appeared behind him.

"Which one is better? It's more suitable for women, you have experience dad."

Dad shrugged: "I don't know, but the one on your right is the most expensive. If you don't know which one to choose, just pick it." Hearing this, Eric nodded in agreement. No wonder I often hear that rich people don't Choose the best and only the most expensive.

It turns out that it’s because I don’t know which one is better. After all, people only know a very small part of the millions of things in the world, so naturally they can only choose the most expensive one.

"Son, there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Bad news, it's more mood-setting."

"The bad news is that I contacted Brad Gray and expressed our interest, but he did not accept the goodwill."

Eric's mood did not fluctuate much. As the weakest existence among the current seven, Paramount has the weakest ability to bear risks.

Brad Gray would certainly not dare to take the risk of offending the other five companies, even if MGM was willing to provide benefits that exceeded those given by Disney.

What's more, Brad Gray himself is not an excellent decision-maker. Eric is not surprised by this result.

"But even though he refused, I still want to give him some eye drops. The news of our meeting has been released, and those old guys will definitely doubt him."

Eric gave a thumbs up. Ginger is still as spicy as ever. The trick of eating two fish is really good.

"So this is the good news you're going to say?"

"No, the good news is I've reached out to Jim Giannopoulos and he hasn't turned down my request to meet and we will meet in Mexico on Sunday."

"Mexico? So far!" Eric was a little surprised.

"Be cautious. Jim happens to be going there for business. If anyone knows that he met with me in private, Thomas Rothman will definitely use this opportunity to drive him out of Fox. There will be no place for him after the Sixth Congress."

"Dad, are you sure you can convince him?"

"Fifty-five. Since he chose to meet, it means that his situation is already very bad. No one in Hollywood can help him except us now."

Eric nodded: "Then it's up to you, Dad."

"Haha. I think it's your mother who needs help. A Hummer stopped. Whose car is this?"

Eric glanced through the window: "It's Theron's."

"Wild style, go open the door young man."

Ding Dong
As soon as Dad finished speaking, the doorbell rang outside.

Eric opened the door and saw Theron standing there handsomely. She was wearing a white one-piece dress tonight with a black ring belt tied in the middle.

Her lips were red and obviously covered in lipstick, her eyeliner and eyebrows were drawn on, and she smelled faintly of perfume.

"You're so beautiful darling," Eric said, holding her in his arms.

“Should I wear taller shoes?”

"what?"

"That would make me look slimmer, but my mom said that's fine. It's best not to wear high heels when I come to your house for the first time."

"You told your mother you were coming to my house?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Uh it's nothing, come in quickly."

Eric led her into the living room, praying in his heart that his mother would work hard tonight, otherwise her parents would find out that she was in trouble, and they would have to come to fight with him.

Theron's mother has a glorious record of shooting her ex-husband. Ashley and Mary's father is also an expert shooter, and his marksmanship is very good.

"Hello Theron, it's our first time meeting you. Nice to meet you." Dad came over and said.

Theron nodded somewhat cautiously: "Mr. Cooper, it's my honor to meet you. You are a well-known figure in the industry."

Dad smiled and waved his hand: "It's all over. I'm a retired old man, but I've watched several of your movies. The actress must have suffered a lot to achieve her current achievements."

Theron glanced at Eric: "Fortunately, at least I have good luck."

The father and son felt twitching in their hearts at the same time. This luck was not good, but it was a mistake.

"Where's Mrs. Cooper? Isn't she home?"

"Emily was in the kitchen preparing dinner and Eric said you liked chickpeas and she learned how to make them."

"Oh my God! Thank you, you guys are really attentive." Theron said flattered.

Ding Dong
At this time, the doorbell rang again outside, and Eric's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know who it was this time.

"Go and open the door, Eric." Seeing him stunned, his father said.

"Whoa whoa."

Taking a deep breath, Eric could only brace himself and walk to the door. Then he saw Nicole standing outside dressed beautifully, with also very delicate makeup.

Nicole opened her arms and wanted to hug her, but Eric didn't dare to let her succeed, so he took her hand and pulled her inside.

"My dad is in the living room, and a friend of yours is also there."

"My friend? Who is it?"

After a few seconds, Nicole's doubts were answered, and at the same time, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

Theron didn't give in too much, his expression became frozen, like an ice cube, which made people feel chilly just by looking at him. Of course, maybe only Eric felt this way.

The two women looked at each other, even if they played many rounds of mahjong together, they still couldn't say "hello" at this time.

Ding Dong
Just as the atmosphere was getting tense, the doorbell rang for the third time.

Eric was jumping a little just now, but now he just feels like a savior. Anyway, it's like this now, so love it.

"I'll open the door!" he said hurriedly.

After a moment, Gadot was brought in, and then the three women stood there like a triangle, with no one moving even a step.

The distance between them is perfect, no one is too much and no one is too little, and they look extremely stable.

Ding Dong
"I'll open the door." Dad couldn't bear the suffocating feeling and rushed to open the door.

But Eric was one step ahead. He had already walked directly to the door and brought Ashley and Mary in.

At this point, the five girls finally gathered together.

I have a showdown!
