A solid foundation for Chapter 230
Ron Mayer pushed away mén and walked into the meeting room. The buzzing discussion stopped suddenly. He glanced at the heads of the mén sitting in the seat, and when he was seated, he was straightforward. Asked: "Tell me your opinion, everyone."
In spite of this, after a while, no one spoke. After all, for this kind of thing, they actually don’t talk. Just a few days ago, a week after the end of the Cannes Film Festival, the media publicly announced that it would acquire Universal Pictures from Seagram. Anyone who has an understanding of media style knows that once they publicly announce the acquisition of a company, the following things have already been done. This is true when acquiring TBS, and also when acquiring.
In fact, as the current president of Universal Pictures, and Mayer who has worked in this position for many years, he also has a good network in Hollywood, and naturally has heard of the media's actions. What if I just know? He can’t do this kind of thing, and several major media groups, Warner and Disney are planning to jointly establish a television network. Viacom’s acquisition of CBS has reached the final moment. News Corp. is temporarily unable to expand as long as the media does not make a big difference. Wrong, Universal Pictures is basically what they have in their pockets.
Since this is the case, why did he want to hold the Mén executives here to hold such a meeting after the other party publicly announced the acquisition of Global?
"At least not worse than the Japanese or Canadians, the media knows how to make a movie." After a while, someone finally started to speak, and others started talking about it.
"The media is very powerful. Although it expands equally quickly, it is also very stable. It also has TBS and it is quite powerful."
"Although Adrian?Kewell's ability as chairman is not obvious, as a producer and director, he is quite out of the box. Apart from the movies, many reality shows and TV series of his TV stations are also said to come from his guidance."
Although the heads of the mén departments talked a lot, Ron Meyer never opened his mouth, but kept his eyes drooping and remained silent. In fact, his mind is not difficult to guess. Since Walt Zellman sold Universal to Panasonic in the 1980s, the ownership of this film company will change every few years, which greatly affects the performance of Universal. If it were not for this reason, the qualifications of Universal would not rank behind the top seven film companies.
Even so, under the leadership of Ron Meyer, Universal Pictures still maintains a considerable surplus, even if the emergence of Adrian divides away some good works that originally belonged to them, or has always cooperated very well. Pilberg and friends founded their own DreamWorks, which shows that this person is still quite capable.
But this is exactly the reason why he was a bit worried. Once Universal was acquired by the media, what kind of situation would he face? As one of the supervisors just said, although I have never heard of Adrian? Kewell's specific management, it is unparalleled in the production of various programs, not to mention the title of the miracle director and very forward-looking xìng's eyes. , But look at the most popular TV shows and reality shows, which were not made according to his ideas, which not only promoted the development of various reality shows, but also indirectly let various media companies start planning to build themselves TV network.
Such a person has huge capital and media groups, which can allow Universal to develop in general, but what will happen to Meyer’s position? Universal is neither Bosworth nor New Line or Miramax. The discerning people know what the media lacks, so once Universal Pictures is acquired, they are bound to hold it firmly in their hands, so... to know A few weeks ago, when the Cannes Film Festival just opened, Ted Turner suddenly announced that he would no longer hold the position of vice president of media. Although this statement was very simple and sudden, a media spokesperson also publicly praised Turner for the past few years. Contribute, but many people know that he is out.
So, how could Meyer not consider himself?
While discussing the upcoming situation on the global side, the media is also discussing this matter. The difference is that there are only two people participating in the discussion.
"In fact, Seagram has succumbed, and now they just want to sell the world at a good price as much as possible, and they have looked at our minds." Claude said lazily on the high-back chair.
"This is of course. After shooting to Universal, everyone knows that we want a movie company with a weight in Hollywood, so the price is slightly higher. It doesn’t matter." Adrian looked through the things in his hand and paused for a few seconds. Only then added: "You know, to prevent'night long','dream more'."
"Here is it, can't I speak it in English?" Claude said dissatisfiedly, but Adrian smiled and didn't talk, he just started his body sorrowfully: "It doesn't matter, the big deal is to buy Seagram After that, the industries that have nothing to do with the media are separated and sold. The funds in Southeast Asia have been withdrawn, and we still have enough capital to raise funds."
Speaking of this, he suddenly found that his partner was a little preoccupied, immediately reached out and waved in front of him: "Hey, what did you think of again."
"Well? Oh, nothing," the Adrian, who had recovered, smiled. "Canadians are not stupid. They know our determination very well. Even if they are reluctant, they must consider the consequences."
Sigram did not plan to sell Universal at first, but the media immediately hit them hard at the market with a small price. The already unsatisfactory Seagram suddenly worsened and finally agreed to negotiate. Then it's bluffing till now. Although the current time is very good, regardless of allies, enemies or neutrals have their own things to be busy, do not care about them here, but just in case, Adrian still hopes to eat Universal as soon as possible to avoid any deviations, Universal is in His plan is a very important part.
"If there is nothing else, I will leave first, waiting for your good news." Adrian said and stood up.
"Oh hell, are you going there again?" Claude sighed angrily. "We only talked for a few minutes. Your office is above me. Wouldn't it be possible to stay longer?" ?"
"Because I have something else." Adrian shrugged.
"Yeah, yeah, you have other things, I don’t know which nv person you are going to find again." Claude chōu chōu mouth corner, of course, the last sentence mumbled out quietly, and then he remembered What's more: "Yes, since this is public, the new line is nothing like Miramax, but you have to say a few words over Bosworth."
"This is of course, don't worry about what they think, I have my own arrangement," Adrian nodded, "including Universal."
Claude raised his hands and didn’t speak anymore. Now they have quite a tacit understanding. The film and TV production is completely Adrian. Who made him have such great achievements and reputation? ? But this does not mean that he will let it go, just like Adrian gave him other industries, not chā hand but will not just ask questions.
The foundation is finally ready. After coming out of Crowder, Adrian breathed out. Yes, even if Universal is acquired, it is still just laying the foundation. The more solid the foundation, the more difficult the castle built on it will collapse, and it will be faster to build. Now we have to wait for the opportunity after two years
He suddenly frowned slightly at the thought of this, and then sighed softly in his heart. Things in Southeast Asia broke out in May, as always, and he specially arranged a stunned youth with a sense of justice as a local reporter, so the **** images of violence * were transmitted back to the United States as soon as possible.
Although this was after the Gulf War in 1992, it fully demonstrated its timeliness again and left its peers far behind, but the response it caused was far less than the Gulf War. This is not surprising. After all, the Gulf War is a war in which the Americans fully demonstrated their armed forces, and the Indonesian violence* has nothing to do with them.
Although some charitable organizations have come forward to say that this is a humanitarian disaster, some people have called on Congress to intervene under the arrangement of Adrian. I think most of the big names of group companies like Adrian are behind the scenes. To exchange with āo, to stand up and express your own political remarks is the most inferior approach-but these are of no avail. Most Americans, in addition to expressing sympathy, will soon transfer their interests elsewhere.
You can only do this. Faced with this situation, Adrian can only shrug helplessly. As for the political fǔ over the Pacific, he was neither interested nor necessary to blame. After he became a man, he became very calm and sensible. It is clear that there are many reasons for the occurrence of a thing. Talents with ulterior motives will Just hold on to it.
This thing was quickly left behind by Adrian. He still has a lot of things to do. The acquisition of Global is only one of them, and he does not need to be too cào.
"Oh, I have to apologize to you about this. They are all very good candidates. They are very good." Sam Remy took off his hat and scratched his head, and then faced Toby? Horse not far away Quill waved, "Hey, Toby"
"Is there anything, Mr. Director?" Maguire ran immediately, with a camera hanging around his neck. The slightly shy look did indeed resemble Peter Parker.
"Nothing, this is Adrian? Mr. Kewell, I am praising you." Remy introduced Adrian immediately.
"Hello, Mr. Adrian, it is my pleasure to see you" Maguire shook hands with Adrian immediately, although he knew that it was the director of Miracle who named him to appear in "Good Will Hunting" and "Spider-Man" But this is the first time to meet with each other, naturally want to express their feelings, everyone knows what Adrian's favor means.
"Hard work, lad, Sam had a dispute with me about whether to use you. Of course, he has admitted wrong now." Adrian smiled and patted him on the shoulder, Lei Mi coughed beside him.
"Toby, to the line...Ed?" A surprise-filled voice rang, and Kirsten's round face appeared in front of Adrian.
The ruddy mouth chún opened slightly, but the corners of the mouth were upturned, forming a smile that was both pure and charming, and also made two shallow dimples on the face. The gray-blue eyes blinked lightly, with a surprise god, only occasionally a hint of cunning that was hidden deep, if she did not look carefully, she would really be cheated by her méng.
"Hi, Kiki, wow, I haven't seen you in a long time, you are getting more and more beautiful." Adrian smiled and looked at Kirsten and praised.
This compliment is sincere, Kirsten wears a red cheongsam embroidered with cuckoo huā, and a red shawl, although the skirt covers the knees and forks up to Half of the big tuǐ, but her well-maintained figure also showed her vividly, very xìng feeling. Jin's hair was also dyed burgundy, and the two hairpins behind her head matched the cheongsam very well, even if the face was large, it did not harm her yòu people.
"Thank you, I'm so glad to see you here." Kirsten smiled sweetly, but immediately turned around and took Maguire to the line, but Yu Guang occasionally glanced at him.
Adrian chuckled softly in her heart and didn't pay attention to her. He pulled Remy and said a few more words, then stood aside after the director announced that he would start shooting the next content.
"I have explained this scene once, and now take out the best of you," Remy said loudly on the sidelines, then waved his hand to prepare to start, and everyone immediately started to move.
Adrian nodded slightly, holding a positive opinion on Remy’s scheduling, but then he froze. When Kirsten passed by in front of him, he suddenly opened his mouth to him, sticking his tongue up and down, and the unscrupulous yòuhuò eyes that showed him made him breathe involuntarily, although everyone around him She was busy, and she turned back to her previous goddess as soon as she turned her head, but this little demon jīng was too bold.
However, if you’re not so bold, you’re not a little demon — maybe that “little” can be removed — and it’s really stingy. Looking at the graceful back, Adrian could not help but lip.
The content being filmed is what happened before Spider-Man first met Green Devils in Times Square. From below the square, he watched his friends and his secret love nv boy together. In addition to some necessary sets, green curtains have been hung around. Of course, it is impossible to shoot such scenes in Times Square. Even if the crew is willing to pay the money, the New York Municipal Government may not necessarily agree, but the progress of CG technology is making up for this shortcoming. Now we only need to build a model to shoot in the green curtain. Wait until later to get the lens of Times Square in.
This kind of comic hero movie actually doesn't need much acting skills, as long as the emotions are in place, the audience mainly sees a variety of special effects that are more realistic than before. I thought Adrian couldn't help but sigh in my heart, and it won't be long before the screen is full of special effects movies.
As early as "Titanic" was released, he knew this very well. Making a movie is no different from gambling. Gambling only knows whether it is a win or a win after the flop of the cards, and the movie will only be released after it is released. Only know if the audience likes it. Producers have been racking their brains to avoid the risks of making movies, just like many gamblers racking their brains to calculate the cards in the other party's hands, but they have not had much effect.
Now, they have finally found a good way to avoid risks. Yes, that is, the big scene where special effects are piled up. After "Titanic", it will attract the audience for a long time. Eyes, and before squeezing out the appeal of special effects, before the audience is tired of the big scene, the producers will not let go of this method of making money.
This is one of the reasons why in the past life, after entering the 21st century, various big scene movies have emerged endlessly. Even if the audience is tired of a few years later, special effects movies still have a large market.
It's okay, don't worry, some things can't be changed. Adrian shook his head and stopped thinking about this. What can't be changed is that the story is the core of the movie, and it also refers to the special effects trend of commercial movies in the next few years.
After the initial blind follow-up, after losing money, the movie production will still return to telling the story. The audience wants to see the complete story and not just those gorgeous fights and scenes. So why should he care about this, and seize this opportunity to make a fortune from it is the correct approach.
This content was quickly finished, Remy announced a few minutes of rest, and then began shooting the battle between Spider-Man and the Green Devils. Adrian, who watched silently from beginning to end, once again affirmed Sam Remy in his heart. .
"Hi, Ed." Kirsten's voice rang in his ears.
"Hi, Kiki." Adrian turned his head immediately, and then raised his eyebrows in a subtle way. The little demon jīng in front of him had a shy expression, and seemed to be embarrassed to talk to him, but only he knew What kind of heart is hidden under this shy expression.
"Is there anything?" he asked gently.
"Yes, just, can I want to chat with you? It's in the trailer over there." Kirsten bit his mouth and chún looked at him with a pleading look. My lens."
It's a first-class acting~IndoMTL.com~Adrian secretly praised, then raised his hand and made a gesture of please. Kirsten did not speak. He turned and walked to the nearby trailer immediately. At first, he walked well, but when he arrived at the trailer, the tutu that was rounded by the cheongsam began to wriggle a lot. Seeing the Adrian swaying behind him, a thought suddenly came out of my mind. It seemed a bit uncomfortable when I watched her performance before. Isn't it...
"Hey, Lawrence," after entering the trailer, Kirsten closed mén and protruded half of his body from the window and shouted to a nearby clerk, "I want to take a break here and tell Wyman that the director needs Mine, just come and call me."
Listening to her voice, Adrian found a chair nearby and sat down, but only after sitting down, his throat could not help shaking. Kirsten leaning over the window not only tilted his hips high, but also slowly picked up the cheongsam skirt with his hands. Then, a pair of white tún parts were completely in front of Adrian , And more importantly, there is no bottom under the skirt, as expected
"Thank you, Lawrence, you are such a nice person." Kirsten at the window said to the outsiders with an innocent smile, while putting his hands behind him, he moved his pair of wonderful warps to Adrian tún.
