King of Hollywood Chapter 150: Another acquisition

Although there are many movies related to King Kong, the 33-year edition and the 76-year edition are considered orthodox works. In the former, the heroine was unemployed because of the Great Depression, homeless and a young girl, nowhere to go The situation was accepted by the director who wanted to make a landscape movie, and then met King Kong. Among the latter, it was a shipwreck survivor who was rescued by the director and his party and went to the island to see King Kong.

In the latest version of the script, the heroine is an actor with dreams. She is acting as a small actor in a theater and hopes to become the protagonist on the stage one day. But because of the Great Depression, she lost her job and everything, and even eating was a problem. Eventually, she was rescued by a director after having a good time outside a fruit shop.

This director is scorching for his new movie, planning to fight hard but there is no suitable actress, then he found the heroine outside the fruit shop, not only invited her to eat a full meal, but also invited her to star in herself movie of.

A very familiar plot, right? This is almost a copy of Adrian and Naomi's encounter that year. There may be many differences in details, but in essence there is no difference, so she hesitated for a long time before pursing her lips after the meeting and asking him: This The reason why she was asked to be the heroine?

What the experience that afternoon and evening means for Naomi, only her own talent is the most clear, even Adrian will not be as profound as her, just like she said, more than ten years A touch of color finally appeared in his gray life. and so. To be sure, Naomi will interpret this role very well, especially for the first ten minutes.

Of course, it is a bit selfish to arrange this for Adrian, but what about it? This selfish Naomi knows, Adrian also knows that she knows, and her subsequent reaction is enough to explain everything. Therefore, Adrian changed the plan to put Nicole's pigeons, and this night only spent with Naomi alone.

"I love you, Ed. No matter what kind of person you are." Sitting on the grass on the hillside, down the glorious lights of downtown Los Angeles, the girl snuggled in the arms of Adrian said.

Adrian did not answer, just hugged her tightly and kissed gently on the top of her head.

Although the press conference for the launch of the live-action movie of "Transformers" was very eye-catching, it did not affect the release of the blockbuster films and their box office, so "Star Wars Episode 2: The Attack of the Clones" was released as scheduled In the first week, I got 80 million box office, which is much higher than the first. He sat firmly on the top of the North American box office chart.

Unfortunately, the reputation of this part is worse than the last one. The media is full of criticism, so that the second week fell by more than 40%. Despite successfully passing the 100 million mark, and depending on the situation, it is not a problem to get a total box office of 200 million to 300 million in North America, but the media's sarcasm has always been not small. Voices such as "Lucas is old" and "The prequel trilogy has no sincerity" abound.

Lucas must be very unhappy, but who cares? As long as it catches the eye, the reporters don't care about the mood of the arranged object, so most of the characters in the movie are ridiculed, and even the virtual character Master Yoda has not let go. The only good points are Mussel Jackson and Natalie. The former is not much of a drama, and it is still somewhat style, as for the latter... I will not say much.

"This is not too good, I don't necessarily have that... temperament." Natalie curled up on the chair in the sunny garden, and said in a lazy tone after reading all the scripts or outlines .

"But. You know, Nada, I don't have any more ideas in my hands." This sounds like a complaint, but Adrian has an unsmiling smile on his face.

He will definitely not be absent from the premiere of the Star Wars prequel, so Natalie will naturally not fail to return to the Beverly Hills mansion with him. Adrian has never let her down every opportunity to come to Los Angeles.

"It's okay, anyway...not in a hurry, is it?" Natalie looked down. "And I was thinking...maybe I can go back to Israel to study."

"I don't think that's a good idea, Natalya," why Adrian doesn't know her little abacus, going back and forth between the United States and Israel is more troublesome than going back and forth between Los Angeles and New York, "This Just like I didn’t suggest that you say to the media that acting in movies is just a sideline, it’s related to your image as an actor. The audience wants to see a consistent... model."

Natalie fell silent, but before she could speak, Adrian immediately changed the subject: "Oh, I suddenly had a concept, you might want to listen."

Then he said to himself: "In the 1960s, a charismatic priest came to a Catholic school in New York. He taught children in a relaxed atmosphere and quickly won the love of many people, but he was originally responsible. The conservative and devout old nun of this school did not like these and it was difficult to accept. Then, because of the civil rights movement, the first black boy enrolled in school, and the priest showed extraordinary enthusiasm for the child, a young pure nun Seeing these in my eyes and creating doubts, I finally told them to the old nun, and the old nun immediately began an investigation and found that the priest seemed to have a conviction.

Although she has no evidence, because she firmly believes that the other party is guilty, she tries her best to expel the priest from school. The priest also insisted that he was innocent, and claimed to maintain his authority at all costs, so a war between the priest and the nun began. "

He said he paused here and waited for Natalie to digest these words before continuing: "In the end, the priest made a compromise, made a compromise for the child, and left the school, the old nun finally Achieved his purpose, and then, in the absence of someone, he confronted the young nun who had told him these things, and finally couldn’t help crying because she still had no tangible evidence. So, did the priest have molested children and The story doesn't really matter. The story just wants to tell people how much doubt and stubbornness will affect people."

Natalie still didn't speak. Just turned his head to the distant bushes, and his face changed slightly a few times. Adrian chuckled in his eyes. That's how a wise man thinks too much, even he can't avoid this, let alone Natalie, who always has a contradiction hidden in his heart?

"You must not be an old nun, but the young nun has no problem." Adrian continued.

"Yes, this is a very good idea. From the perspective of human nature, it makes people think deeply, and writing a script should be...very good." Natalie took a deep breath. She has clearly determined that this is what he used to warn himself, because...

"But you neglected a bit, Ed," she looked up and tried to make herself look serious. "I am a Jew, although I am not particularly godly...but I am still a Jew."

"Yes. It's a pity." Adrian smiled, "So I didn't take it out before, and I just sent it with emotion, and it's not bad to get your approval."

He said that he stood up and looked at the sky with his pergola. The sun is unusually strong. Although it is still June, the weather in Los Angeles is almost the same as in summer.

"Since you can’t pick a good script for the time being, then take a break for a while, and you’ve graduated anyway. You can use this opportunity to adjust your mood, then... It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to move to Los Angeles, but there is a long-term Your place is necessary, right?" Adrian smiled. "Don't worry, I will give you a good script within this year. So don't think so much now, swim with me and swim."

He leaned over and leaned in front of her, blinking a little badly: "I specially selected a swimsuit for you."

Natalie opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she finally shrugged her shoulders and said in an indifferent tone: "It should not be the king's new clothes."

Adrian immediately laughed, and he actually wanted to see Natalie in the **** swimming, but she might be able to accept it if she was in the sky, but she might be unwilling to be naked. It's ok. Adrian doesn’t mind at all, so I’ll take it slowly. Besides, the swimsuit I prepared is not bad. The three places that only have a big slap make her look very sexy, and because she is not obsessed with insisting on a complete vegetarian diet, she has a lot of body. It looks very symmetrical.

Despite the subconscious mind and resistance, when Natalie entered the state and played in the water, she still inevitably was teased and laughed by Adrian.

Although there are still some tricks to use, Nada. Adrian thought so when kissing the wet girl, but it was a pity that the concept of "Child Abuse Suspected Cloud".

Although everything is planned for Adrian, for the sake of insurance, it is still planned to give Natalie a weighty supporting role that can win a good reputation. It is best to release it next year. It's just that although I found a lot of them, they were not particularly suitable. Natalie didn't feel any sense after reading the ideas. The only thing that is currently suitable is "Child Abuse and Suspect".

This movie was supposed to have a stage play in 2005 before it was adapted into a movie. The young and pure nun’s role is very suitable for Natalie’s current public image, but there is still an insurmountable Obstacle, this is a nun and Natalie is Jewish and was also born in a slightly conservative Jewish family.

Actually, it’s not a big deal for the Jews to act as Catholics. The role is the role, and the actor is the actor, but it is likely that this will affect the Adrian plan. So he gave up this tempting idea. Although it was only possible, it was certain that it caused a certain degree of controversy. He did not want to take risks. After all, he promised her that he would take her to an unprecedented height.

Don’t worry, just say that, take your time, although there are still later producers of "The Matrix", "The Lord of the Rings" and "Witch Devil", it is likely to open another movie at the end of the year, but There are still a few months left, enough for him to find a good work suitable for Natalie.

With the release of "Star Wars," the battle for summer vacation files has become fierce, but the film companies under the media are not releasing commercial masterpieces one after another as they did last year. It seems that after last year, it suddenly became weak. Even Pixar, who is already the leader in the animation industry, has no works this year, although several popular movie masterpieces are scheduled at the end of the year.

However, if you think that the development of the media has stopped, it will be very wrong. After entering the July, the media announced very low-key. Successfully acquired fhm from emap, an old British media company, yes, yes, it is the famous and first-rate men's magazine "Mangbang".

"Why would you want to acquire this magazine?" In Claude's large office, Adrian asked with some curiosity. The acquisition was entirely dominated by Claude, although he knew but did not How do you care, the results have come back, the acquisition has been completed.

"Why would you just ask this magazine." Claude asked back. "You know, I bought from emap not only fhm, but also many European broadcast and TV stations."

"I know I know that we are going to expand in Europe," Adrian raised his hands. "But I remember I told you that the development of paper media will soon start to decline, although fhm has many readers. But I can’t escape this circle, can I?”

"So I have made people redesign fhm's website and let them transplant some of m's successful experience," Claude laughed. "Come on, Ed. Don't pretend to be in front of you, Now as long as you want, you can arrange it casually... The woman you want to arrange on the cover of fhm."

Squinting at him for a while, Adrian sighed: "Okay, fhm is really good. Although I want more... that is not easy, after all, it was a magazine that was published in the last 40 years of the last century, now Already a well-known fashion brand." Claude leaned lazily on the high-back chair, "And, haven't you said? The dusk of the paper media is coming...and espn. Our paper magazine Enough."

"Yes, I know." Adrian sighed.

M will not say it. It took a long time for the publication to be acquired, and Adrian's attitude towards the Internet coincides with theirs. At present, its reputation is very loud, and it is only a little worse than a first-class magazine such as fhm. As for espn, this is a famous sports channel that was acquired early. Hearst Group also has some shares, and after being acquired by the media, espn was separated like cnn. So far, it has been the most well-known and most-used sports channel in the United States, and various life dramas have no shortage of sports. Take espn teasing and ridicule.

At present, espn is preparing to expand to Europe, so Claude will acquire part of emap's broadcasting and television stations together.

However, espn magazine was launched at the end of 2000. The sports channel is best known as espn, but sports magazine is the most popular in "Sports Illustrated", and the annual pictorial girls are very popular. It is for this reason that although espn has always had the idea of ​​creating a magazine, it has no experience after all, and it is worried that the competition will not be able to compete with "Sports Illustrated", and it will continue to develop and consolidate itself.

Later, Adrian knew it, and immediately started agitating-he vaguely remembered that espn had his own magazine-and gave them a comparison... Dirty ideas, espn that was done by Sports Illustrated can also be done The espn that "Sports Illustrated" hasn't done is even more so. Simply put, espn can not only invite some beautiful female athletes to cover or insert like the "Sports Illustrated", but also invite a strong and **** male athlete to cover or insert, male and female colors can also attract many readers.

"Sometimes I really want to open your head to see what's inside." Claude asked him after knowing that he was flustered for a long while, and Adrian responded with a shrug. trend.

After discussing and investigating, espn decided to do just that, so after rushing time to prepare, it finally rushed to start publication at the end of the millennium, and after more than a year of development, the response was not bad. Although it is slightly different from the expectation, and it is not as good as "Sports Illustrated", the "male color" tricks indeed attracted many praises, and Adrian also once again proved his i's vision.

In short, as long as you continue to keep adjusting yourself, with media support, espn will inevitably have its place in sports magazines. And now with the addition of fhm, even if the media does not have well-known magazines such as "Time", "Vanity Fair", "People", but also has its own territory on this, let's say...

"Don't care, Ed," Claude waved his hand at this time. "It didn't cost much, we are very cost-effective."

"So you are now aiming at the Dallas Cowboys?" Adrian hummed immediately.

"You finally talked about this topic," Claude laughed "ha", "I thought you didn't plan to say this~IndoMTL.com~Adrian narrowed his eyes, Dallas Cowboys, nfl giants One, has won the major league championship several times, is also the New York Giants who have also won many major league championships, competing for who won the most championships, the biggest competitor. As mentioned earlier, many rich people and Large groups like to raise a few teams. The sports atmosphere in the United States is still quite good, and Claude is no exception.

He is not particularly fanatical about American football. He may prefer baseball a little bit, but since the media is already the world’s top media group, of course it should have the hottest and most luxurious team-even Crowder And this kind of thinking cannot be avoided. After all, few people can reach their current height at the age of thirty.

Not to mention Los Angeles and interesting, there are nba and the Lakers and Clippers, there are Dodge and Angels of mlb, there are Hercules Ducks and Kings of Nhl, Los Angeles Galaxy and Ms. Chivas from the mls, but there is no nfl team. . And there are no big teams in several big cities around, so Claude had to look at the Dallas Cowboys in Texas.

"You are really in the mood, Crow, Texans may not allow investment from California to control the Dallas Cowboys." Adrian frowned slightly, "And...what about my Lakers?" (to be continued) q! ~!
