King of Hollywood Chapter 106: Advantages
>From mid-September to early October, Americans finally came out of their grief. This time, the blow was unprecedented. The iconic towers on the two floors of the World Trade Center will never exist. Even if it is rebuilt in the future, it has nothing to do with the original two buildings, and such a blow has hit American confidence.
So, when the government claimed that this terrorist incident was caused by an organization of a guy whose name and lamp were related, and the organization also recognized this, the anger of the people across the United States was directed at them. The Bush administration The support rate has soared to an unimaginable level, and it was basically two scenarios when it was just elected at the beginning of the year, and the resolution to send troops was passed without difficulty.
But because of the public’s anger, the entertainment industry, especially the film industry, has lost a lot in the past month, and many of them are arranged at the end of the summer vacation, and want to try to make a fortune The movies are all defeated. In short, by the end of September, the box office in North America was extremely depressed, and it was only slightly better until October, but it will take some time to fully recover, which is why Adrian put "She Is My All" in The reason for the end of October.
However, some things that have attracted attention have not happened in the entertainment industry. The most eye-catching are two. The first one is naturally the popularity of... When Christina and Britney were in "American: Salute to Heroes" "After the concert, it became a popular song on the radio immediately after being sung, and the number of on-demand songs was much higher than that of other songs that commemorated 911 at the same time, even if it was later released by Michael Jackson....
Both of them were popular idols, and they performed this song again, and the popularity suddenly increased a lot. Especially the lead singer Christina, the smart voice is perfectly interpreted, completely comparing Britney, and won the favor of quite a lot of people. However, the fans of the two had a lot of noise on the Internet.
At the same time, fans may not notice, but every musician will not ignore it. In the column of the songwriter, in addition to the two well-known word authors, there is the name of Adrian. At this time, a lot of things can be determined, for example, many of Britney's excellent songs have his participation in such rumors. There is no doubt that the halo on the head of Adrian will increase again.
But this is not the biggest increase. The patriot aura is now more noticeable than any one. This is another thing that attracts the most attention and attention in the entertainment industry from September to October. The chairman of the media's board of directors, and Hollywood's famous miracle director Adrian? Kewell, took out $100 million in a private name to form a new foundation to help the families of the victims in 911!
The operation of the foundation is very transparent, and he said that people from Congress and the government are invited to participate in supervision, and he really invited to form a supervision committee. Every expenditure is recorded in detail and put on the Internet for people to check. , Even including how much toilet paper is used in the bathroom. The Red Cross Society, which has a scandalous scandal, and many charitable funds that also have problems are compared. This fund is almost flying in development. After the inspection, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett also announced that they All donations will be handed over to this foundation. It has further promoted development, and countless people have invested their donations.
Of course, although the 100 million donations of Adrian will still take time to be fully received, it is still the largest amount of personal donations that no one can surpass. The reputation of patriots and big philanthropists is also circulating around the world.
"This kind of limelight doesn't call me, you are really disappointing me, Ed!" Crowder shouted "dissatisfaction" with the newspaper in the media office.
"Of course, it's up to me to do such a showy thing." Adrian, who was sitting on the couch lazily, shrugged carelessly.
Next second. Both of them laughed. The head of the media group appeared less in the spotlight. Although they had the media in hand, it was not suitable for too much exposure. To put it bluntly, the media is originally an industry that manipulates people's hearts, and overexposure of the heads can easily give opponents an opportunity. So whether it is Red Stone or Murdoch, seeing their news in the entertainment media is much less than in the financial media.
But the media is different. Adrian still has the status of a famous director. He has been walking in front of and behind the scenes. As long as the reporters only focus on the side as a director, he is still very generous. And Claude is responsible for the specific operational affairs. Even if someone wants to do something from it, they have to separate them first-but is this possible?
So. Their combination is more advantageous. The more shining Adrian is, the more positive it will be for the media's publicity. As long as Claude keeps a low profile, so now the two are just kidding.
"You are right. Ed, this disaster will indeed change everything profoundly." Claude sat back in his place and sighed. He frowned and looked out of the window as if to say something, but eventually changed. There is a topic: "You know, there is news that the Bush administration is brewing a bill that authorizes government departments to search various records of individuals and businesses at will, and it will be promulgated in the next half month."
Adrian knew what he wanted to say at first, but this kind of thing knew everything. There was no need to say it. The connection between Wall Street and Capitol Hill was closely divided in the two hundred years of the founding of the United States. He went along with his topic: "It's normal, this kind of thing happened. In the future, for a long period of time, maybe a few years or a few decades, the problem of homeland security will be put by the government. In the first place, this bill is just the beginning. Don't care, Crow, this may have a great impact on ordinary people, but it is only a little trouble for us."
"Yes, I know, there are some things..." Claude shook his head. "However, the Bush administration or the conservatives need a media group that completely falls back to them and guess who they will choose. "
"No need to guess at all," Adrian laughed. "Murdoch has declared himself a conservative more than once in public, and has been suppressed by us for so long. The Republican Party only needs to reveal a tone. He promises to post immediately. Go up."
"You don't worry at all." Claude raised an eyebrow.
"There is nothing to worry about." Adrian spread his hands. "This is not Britain. The full reversal to the Republican Party just gives him a layer of protection, and our advantage is more than his."
News Corp. can soar in the new century, and Murdoch took the opportunity of 911 to cling to the thighs of the Bush administration or the Republican Party. It just happens that the Republican Party also needs such a comprehensive and thorough media group, so it is a hit, with their support, and various operating strategies, the News Group may have a loss in other areas, but Fox News and movies TV has been greatly developed.
But it’s different now. Killing the media out of thin air has advantages over News Corporation in all respects. Of course, neither Adrian nor Claude will completely fall to the Republican Party, even if Uncle Anderson supports the Republican Party, but no matter which country needs some media to issue neutrality or watch Like a neutral voice, otherwise how to manipulate the heart?
In the past life, Murdoch, Red Stone, Eisner, Jews. Although Sony has invited Americans to serve, it has always been the Japanese leading affairs, and Hollywood is basically divided. The conservatives have no choice, plus Murdoch and Redstone are different, he is an Australian immigrant, except Jews or outsiders, so when he handed over the olive branch, they chose to take over.
And that’s what Adrian said is the advantage. He and Claude are both native Americans, and the family traces back to the Jews. In the eyes of some people, this is their own person, and the rise and growth of the media is just one. Opportunity. Their media group can develop so smoothly, in addition to the Adrian's amazing foresight and Claude's excellent operating methods. This is also one of the important factors.
The two generations of Adrian are clearer than anyone else in this regard, so he not only thanked him for his luck more than once, as long as he didn’t faint and confront the mainstream society, is he still worried about News Corp?
Conservatives can use Murdoch more unscrupulously, driving him to compete with Viacom, Disney and other groups, while the media is on the sidelines. Who made Murdoch both a Jew and an Australian immigrant, and married a Chinese wife from mainland China.
This is a big problem, even if you secretly find out that this woman has nothing to do with mainland officials. It is entirely based on its own ability, which is still a big problem.
As we all know, in the West in the United States, although the Chinese are hardworking and wealthy, their political status has not always been high. It’s stupid to say that Chinese are not keen on politics. Wherever they went in the past life, wherever they went, there was a lot of talk about politics. The lively election scenes in Taiwan are enough to explain some problems. What?
Before the 1950s, fear politics did not want to participate but only wanted to make money. It did account for a lot of factors, but after that, they faced a problem: you said that you are loyal to the United States. How do you prove it?
This is an important reason why Chinese people cannot fight for their political rights unscrupulously like blacks, Latinos, and Arabs. Behind them, there is a country that always pays attention and vigilance to the United States and wants to fight for their own. Political rights? First give up the ancestor or even spurn it.
For example, if an influential Chinese celebrity is also very important in the National Chinese Federation, it is very friendly to China and has rarely attacked China. If one day he strongly opposes a certain government measure, or even hesitates to make a public statement at a large rally, and supports the government’s opponents, then it will not take long, or A will start investigating him, and the tax bureau will come in two days After checking the accounts, the media will never rest his private life, even if there is nothing wrong, it will create problems, and then...
This is not alarmist, anti-discrimination activities seem to have been booming, but private discrimination has never been burned, not to mention national interests.
Ms. Deng’s speech may give Murdoch more support in the United States, but China... You know, Murdoch married her for the Chinese market to a large extent.
Of course, this is probably a swing strategy adopted by Murdoch, and it turns out that using the Sino-US honeymoon period before something has achieved no small results. Unfortunately, with the media now, Adrian and Crowder will eventually gain more benefits in the wall-riding. What's more, Adrian still holds a card in his hand. A card that only allows News Corp. to suffer a big loss in the hands of others, but can shake their roots in the hands of the media.
"In short, don’t care too much, just focus on them. You need to know that the competitiveness of the media group can only be achieved by the government," Adrian shrugged. "The ratings of "24" are quite good."
The "24" in his mouth is naturally the well-known anti-terrorism TV series. As early as last year, he let Universal sell the TV series in front of Fox. At that time, no one knew that such a big thing would happen this year. , So Fox did not compete with Universal. After buying it, there was no show. It wasn't until 9/11 that the people experienced pain and healing, and it was broadcast on a day not long ago in mid-October.
Although the movie industry suffered a lot because of 911, the TV series suffered very little because of the TV set in each family, plus it just catered to the people’s mentality of wanting to eliminate terrorists, and it happened within an hour of an episode. The story's approach not only makes the plot very compact but also very novel, so it has tens of millions of ratings just after the show, many TV practitioners can't help but sigh in their hearts, and there is another powerful new drama.
Of course, the starring role is still Kiefer Sutherland. Because Adrian started early, Julia did not get engaged to him, nor did she get out of the farce, but the actor of his wife and daughter has changed. In view of the fact that the Pacific side received the 911 news and called for mourning as soon as possible and expressed their full support for the US anti-terrorist operation, the second honeymoon period between China and the United States is coming again, so Bao Xiaoqiang’s wife became Asian and her daughter It became mixed blood.
So, Kelly Hu, who also played the leading role in "Double-sided Female Agent", starred in his wife and daughter. Although the original version has become a private flight attendant of Adrian, but this version is still from Canada, born in Vancouver, Austin? Crook. She should have become a teenager idol in the "Superman Prequel" launched by Warner, but now she has come to the "24" crew because of Adrian.
Pure, cute but lively, and the bed time is good. Adrian came back from London during the summer vacation and prepared for 911. Slightly hooked her finger, she took off her clothes and lay down on the bed. The young girl's enthusiasm made Adrian feel better and by the way, she also got better attention.
Okay, the topic is back. It’s not the United Kingdom. It’s not yet News Corp’s turn to monopolize the media, nor China. The government's interference is not so great, so after all, it depends on the strength. And the media has such a perverted Adrian, will it also allow Fox to surpass, not to mention the media has huge resources, the reason why CNN in the past life is behind the competition but Fox News. Warner does not have a large enough TV network is one of the reasons.
"This is my opinion, Crow," Adrian concluded, "And, I still have a lot of non-film and TV production ideas that have not been realized yet."
"Is it?" Crowder raised an eyebrow. "Do you know what I'm thinking, Ed? Every time you say this, I always feel like I'm seeing a lot of profit coming back. ."
"You are right, Crow, but not now." Adrian said, laughing with his buddies.
I will talk about the future planning for the time being. Anyway, Adrian has decided the general direction and Claude is responsible for implementation, and Adrian is always paying attention to the company’s development through Ivanka. Claude will also find any problems first. He exchanged opinions. So, Adrian then returned to the "The Matrix" crew and started shooting again.
In fact, although the production was suspended due to the impact of 911, it was resumed in early October, but at that time Adrian was still busy with the charity fund, so the efficiency was still not high. But now the charity fund has initially been on the right track, as long as this completely transparent approach is adhered to, there will be no major problems, and the names of the big philanthropists and patriots of Adrian are echoed throughout the United States and the world~IndoMTL.com~ Naturally, we must speed up efficiency.
Be aware that because of the 9/11 incident, many things have been delayed. For example, Avril Lavigne’s birthday was unusually deserted. At that time, no one hosted a party, so in the end, it was just the Stuart family plus Adrian and a few good friends At the Stewart's house, I chatted a little for a night, said some jokes, and prayed for the dead. It was over.
Although Adrian planned a lot of things around 911, he forgot to make a backup plan for these productions, but this is also normal. He can’t be omnipotent. Postpone, postpone, anyway, he didn't break away from his control, did he? So instead of thinking about this, it is better to solve the current trouble first. After the action scene is filmed, it is finally the turn of the literary play, and the meeting of Neo, Trinity, Murphy and the French is the highlight of the second literary play.
"This is really the most flattering time in my life, I actually have to play against the great Mr. Adrian? Kewell!" Reeves exclaimed in a very exaggerated tone, his facial expressions did not want to be so in front of the camera.
Although he wanted to kill him with his eyes, Adrian just glared at him and glanced at Monica and Sophie who snickered, and finally sighed, and after explaining the situation with the assistant director, he was as dead as he was. Go to the dressing room. (To be continued...Q
