King of Hollywood Chapter 116: 1 in 4

>Moulin Rouge has been postponed. Adrian originally scheduled it a little before Christmas, but the problem is that the media’s high box office movies are all scheduled for this time, and they all perform extremely well. Not to mention "X-Men", "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter and the Magic Stone", even the genre movies that require long-term screenings such as "Chocolate Chocolate" and "Beautiful Heart" are quite good Not to mention the achievements of "Eleven Arhats", "Training Day", "BJ Single Diary", which have very different styles but are commercially valuable.

"BJ Single Diary" starring Rachel was released before "Harry Potter and the Magic Stone". The premiere was not large. Adrian still attended. Of course, there must be a prize. Rachel forcibly pulled into the corner and violated it. .

Therefore, if the "Moulin Rouge" is scheduled to be released in the Christmas prelude, it is easy to cause a dilemma of insufficient attention. It’s okay to influence the box office. It’s also a genre movie screened by the ministerial line, not to mention the gimmick of the miracle director’s first song, but it has not affected the word of mouth. It’s not very good. You should know that the most talk about Adrian at this stage is still hot. "The Lord of the Rings".

So after discussing with others, Adrian changed the date to January next year, just like "Return to Alabama" and "Princess Diary", Sarah's "Return to Alabama" will be released next year It has been decided long ago, but this time only the date is set to February 14, and the "Princess Diary" is indeed scheduled in early January.

In this way, although you still compete with yourself, the room for manoeuvre is much greater, and the box office is better pressed.

Of course, like "I am Sam", it is necessary to get an Oscar ticket at the end of the month. Isn't he making "Moulin Rouge" for this? And by the way, you can still understand the reaction of the audience and prepare for the publicity after the screening.

After returning from London, life finally calmed down temporarily, because Christmas Eve was in front of me. The "Matrix" filmed intermittently because of various premieres also stopped, and Adrian also had more time Spend on your own woman and daughter, everything is beautiful, except for a little--

The door was opened gently, and the corridor lights that never closed cast a long figure on the ground in a dark room. The little guys were asleep in the bed, not aware of anything strange, and a few large socks were hung at the end of the bed.

The tall figure crept over and walked in, wearing thick clothes, with a tapered cap on his head, a long beard on his chin, and a big pocket on his back. He laughed when he came to the stern. Twice. Then he slowly squatted down, pulled his things out of his pockets and tried to stuff them into the socks at the end of the bed.

At this time. The little guy on the bed suddenly jumped up.

"There is a thief! Grab him!" a voice shouted, and the pillow-to-face figure smashed towards the end of the bed, and the crackling sound was mixed with laughter, yelling throughout the bedroom.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Cate and Sarah rushed to hear the sound and slammed the bedroom light on.

Unfortunately, these little guys—Lily, Little Emma, ​​Little Emma— didn’t mean to stop. They continued to wave their pillows and smashed towards the end of the bed, while Juliet and Dava clapped beside them. .

"Enough! You rascals!" Finally, until Adrian yelled out angrily. A few little guys laughed and stopped.

At this time, the Adrian Santa cap has fallen to the ground and disappeared. The beard sticking to the chin is also slanted and may fall off at any time. Sitting on the ground with scattered hair looks awkward. Fortunately, the pillow has not broken. Otherwise, the whole house will be covered with goose feathers.

"As early as more than half an hour ago. You should have gone to sleep, and I specifically allowed you to go to bed late, but even now you haven’t fallen asleep. Now you are talking about, what should I do?" Adrian squeezed on the cheeks of a few little guys, and made a pair of teeth, it seemed to be a good account with them.

Unfortunately, this is of little use. Even Deva and Juliet grimaced at him, not to mention Lily and Emma.

"Well, since this is the case, there will be no Christmas presents this year." Adrian immediately lifted his pocket to go.

Deva and Juliet, two little-minded little guys, suddenly showed an uneasy look, but unfortunately Emma little took the situation back in one sentence: "Don’t worry. Ed will not give us Christmas gifts, but Santa will not. Give."

She knelt on the bed with her arms, glanced at the door and looked at the lively Cate and Sarah, and then looked proudly at Adrian, yes, father did not give Lily their gifts, mother and aunt would always give .

Adrian couldn’t help but roll his eyes, glaring at Cate and Sarah who were smiling from the side, they didn’t talk anymore since they came in, and they stood there watching the show as if they liked to see him . Then he raised an eyebrow at Emma the Little again. There is no doubt that this matter is definitely her domination, when I was clamoring on the phone to give him a good look, I still remember it.

"It seems that you should not be all sleeping together, so I decided to separate you all!" Adrian hummed coldly and rolled up his sleeves.

"Resume!" shouted Emma immediately, then raised her pillow again while gesturing.

Following, little Emma and Lily raised the pillow, and Deva and Juliet crawled behind them and hid, feeling like they were fighting back.

"Okay, boys, please calm me down!" Cate finally came over to rescue him.

Dad’s words don’t listen, mom’s words always listen. Lily is quite smart, and never listens to neither mom nor dad. This trick-or-treat dies, and the sisters Dawa and Juliet are naturally quiet, and then little Emma has always followed the trend, and naturally stopped. Little Emma can't stand alone. Can compromise.

"Your luck is always good, Ed!" She was so arrogant the next day that she said to Adrian a little unwillingly.

"Okay, Emma, ​​you are all a big girl, and you are still a hot star. Can you stop doing such naive things?" Adrian replied with a sigh.

After listening to this, the little girl immediately opened her eyes and drooped the corners of her mouth. A fierce look like she was hurt. She looked at him for a long time before he snorted and left the study. Adrian just sighed again. Of course he knew that Emma would be very unhappy to say so, but he had no other way of doing it for now. She had to sit on his lap since she came in.

It's really annoying. Adrian said to himself. But he didn't care too much. Little Emma was so big, and still so smart and precocious, how could he be arrogant because of this matter? If she gave up like that, it wouldn’t be Emma Watson — Adrian’s Emma Watson.

Sure enough, only a few hours passed. Emma Jr. grabbed him again and asked him to ask, then Adrian began to have a headache and how to deal with her. Fortunately, this situation did not last long. After Christmas, Emma will be in London. Of course, Adrian must promise to visit her in the New Year.

"I promise, in January, I will definitely come to London to see you." Adrian said so comfortably after sending her to the airport, and then added a sentence: "Of course, there may be a few days before and after the error. Please understand."

"...Okay." The little girl said reluctantly, her cheeks bulging.

Adrian smiled and shook his head, leaned over and kissed near the corner of her mouth, Emma’s eyes lit up suddenly, looked at him incredibly up and down, then cheered briefly, rushed Entering Adrian arms around his neck, stubbornly kissed his face firmly.

She smiled on her face. It seems that I have never been so happy. Even when I walked along the VIP channel to the Adrian private plane, it was still a bit flirty.

"Ed...Are you...a little out of bounds?" After watching the plane on the runway, he came over to send Emma's Cate together and said to Adrian without worry.

As his earliest woman, she experienced the time when Adrian took care of little Emma. She was very sensitive to these.

"Yes, I know. That's true." Adrian stared at the aircraft that was accelerating, and didn't turn its head until it started climbing. "I'll deal with it, Cate, don't worry."

Cate didn't speak, just held his arm, and looked at him with some worry but trust. Adrian smiled slightly, reaching for the arms of Cate. Pull her into her arms and watch the plane drill into the clouds.

The year 01 has just passed. In this year, many important things happened in many fields, which greatly affected the trend of the world, such as 911. For example, the European Union announced that the euro will be issued on January 1, 2002. In the media field, the most influential thing is that the media's thunderous attitude has become the world's first.

Acquired at the beginning of the year... Adrian? Kewell was not in the limelight on the Oscars. In May, the top ten TV ratings accounted for nine. After the 9/11 incident, it took the lead to organize various commemorative events, and it was Adrian? Kewell in a private capacity. Withdrawing 100 million yuan to help the families of the victims also led to a wave of charity. Finally, during the entire Christmas period, from "Monster Company" to "Eleven Arhats", from "X-Men" to "The Lord of the Rings" to "Harry Potter and the Magic Stone", the movie box office of the media finished up other groups. .

Old media groups are sighing or vigilant or not watching this young group step by step to the top. Why is there such a freak like Adrian? However, this is not over yet. After finally getting rid of their sad and depressed 01 years, the media gave them a blow in 2002. Although this is only the end of 01, the shock caused by them is not lost to the previous one. The few things.

Every year at the beginning of each year, the end of last year will be made, and some statistics will be clear, such as the total box office in the past year. The total box office in North America in 2001 was about 8.4 billion, but the total box office of the movies produced and distributed by the media was as much as 2.3 billion! That's right, it accounts for a quarter of the total box office in North America throughout the year!

Although the box office in North America is basically a big movie company to divide up the big heads, and then other companies pick up some leftovers, a film company can have a box office of 1 billion US dollars a year-whether the box office is not profitable-is already quite remarkable Almost no media group like the media accounts for a quarter of the total box office in the United States!

MGM may have that strength in the early days, but it was based on a monopoly. Although the big film companies are also powerful, it is no longer possible to have the absolute right to speak like decades ago. Too. and so. The media’s most important willingness to do this is that they make good movies.

Therefore, even if other film companies are extremely jealous, they cannot attack this absolute strength, and can only lament again, why is there such a freak like Adrian?Kewell? ! Is there no longer a way to live? of course not.

"Very beautiful data, although expected, but did not expect to reach this level, so," Adrian threw the report to Claude's desk. "You can converge."

He has always known that he can only grow bigger and stronger only by learning to share. In a world where capital is approaching perfection, eating only food will only push himself and his group to the point where they are targeted. Because of this, with Crowder's full cooperation, the media can develop smoothly to the point where it is today.

The reason why 01 was uncharacteristically, not only performed high-profile actions, but also launched various excellent works on TV movies to fully squeeze the profit space of other companies. The key is to show strength, Li Wei!

"Let them see. How strong our strength is." Adrian said so.

This has indeed had a considerable effect. The most popular TV series and the most popular movies in North America are in the media. Most of the Oscar nominations have been occupied by them, and the top ten in the ratings list Their positions are all theirs. The total box office of a group accounted for a quarter of the total box office in North America. These shocking achievements fully prove that the media is undoubtedly the first in the world!

Then, 01 has passed. Their purpose has also been achieved, so they should return to their original positions and maintain a certain level of low-key again. They cannot **** all the profits as they did last year.

"I know, "Beautiful Heart" does not have DreamWorks investment?" Claude smiled, with his ability will not see the benefits of doing so. What's more, it was already negotiated and agreed, "It's you, Ed. You said that you will provide some TV series ideas, and then make them for other TV stations to broadcast."

"Don’t worry, I have thought of a good theme, derived from "": "Navy Crime Investigation Office"." Adrian shrugged, "Although it is also a detective drama. But the style is completely different from "" , It’s just an idea, but it will soon be perfected by the writers. I plan to give it to CBS to play. How can we all be allies?"

"Okay. Then I won't worry," Claude laughed. "I like a win-win strategy."

This is indeed a win-win strategy. On the face of it, handing over the TV series produced by yourself to other TV stations harms the interests of its own TV stations, but in fact it is not so. As mentioned before, the purpose of showing strength has been achieved, and then it should be low-key, and some of the benefits should be shared by others. Although there are many channels, all outstanding TV shows are brought in, especially many of them are watched during prime time If the rate is very good, then it will evolve into competition with yourself, and the result will be a lot of losses.

And this method of making your own and then handing it to other TV stations will not only cause greater losses, but also get more. In short, this model is that TV stations get advertising fees and production groups get copyright fees. , Cross profiting with each other reduces the risk, and at the same time unites allies and reduces the hostility of others. The relationship between the media and Viacom has always been very good, and naturally shared with them first.

In fact, this model has also existed in the previous life. It was first implemented by Warner. As a media group, although Warner also has its own WB TV network, unfortunately it cannot be covered in the United States for various reasons. It can be watched for free in many places, but in But some places need to pay to watch. In this case, if they produced an excellent TV series, but because of the limitations of the TV network, they could not maximize their profits, then it’s a pity, so Warner thought of a way to make it and then give it to other TV stations to broadcast. Profits have reduced risks and gained friends.

This approach changed the operation mode of TV stations. Before the 1990s, the four major TV stations basically invested in their own production, and they purchased very few finished products from other production companies. Warner established a new model and promoted it. The result was that when the first decade of the 21st century passed, the television industry surpassed movies in terms of net profit.

Unfortunately in this life because of Adrian, the most important "Friends" for Warner was taken away, which is equivalent to letting them lame. Don't underestimate the TV series "Friends" ~IndoMTL.com~ It may not be the longest-lived, perhaps not the most invested, but it is definitely the most popular, no one! And Warner relied on the unprecedented success of "Friends"-some people have estimated that this TV series has brought about 4 billion of revenue for Warner from the beginning to the end of the broadcast-only to take their respective risks. The model was promoted and gradually accepted by other TV stations and TV production companies.

Then, Adrian further launched a good TV series. Although Warner insisted on this model and promoted it to a certain extent, several TV series with good ratings were purchased from Fox, but they were the same period. Compared with the previous life, it is much worse.

As Adrian, who also had a certain degree of knowledge about TV in the previous life, I would not fail to know the benefits of this model. In fact, he had already done this before, for example, "Intern Doctor Fengyun" for CBS, or "Office Fengyun" for CBS, so now after showing his strength, he abandoned this program. You can show Warner by the way.

Besides, after two or three years, all high-rated TV series can be completed by the TV production team of the media...

"Okay, let's talk about blogging." Adrian throws a new topic. (To be continued...Q
