Chapter 242 Integration

"Okay, guys, now all the people in charge of the mén are left, and I can take out some of the words." The Adrian said with a smile as they glanced at the people present in the meeting room.

A few minutes ago, he held a temporary employee meeting outside to appease the feelings of panic caused by the employees of Universal to change the ownership of the company again. It is not very successful or bad. Director Miracle’s The name is there, the company should be able to develop better than it is now. But in the eyes of executives, it was different. A few weeks ago, they discussed the changes that will take place after the media takes control of the world. The moment has really come. Naturally, it is not a few words to appease.

"I know you are worried," Adrian reopened after a moment of silence. "But with a little understanding of my acting style, you will know that such worry is unnecessary."

He raised a finger: "First of all, Ron will continue to serve as a global and long-term tenure. In the past years, he has not only stabilized the course of the world in frequent changes, but also achieved Not a small result, he proved that he is a sè, I can’t think of a more suitable person for this position."

Saying an upward gesture to Ron Meyer sitting on the right, Mayer, who was sitting on the edge of his head, nodded slightly and said "Thank you" briefly, humble and polite.

"The same is true of others," Adrian continued. "Without your efforts, Universal will not stick to the present, so I hope you all can continue to work hard and make better results."

Some words don’t need to be understood so clearly. These executives are guys who have been in the mall for many years. How can they not understand the meaning of Adrian? After this sentence, they were relieved. This action is very subtle, and immediately mentioned the jīng God, they know that the new boss has not finished speaking yet.

Sure enough, Adrian glanced back at Claude Ron Reese, who was sitting on his left, and the entire media, and then gestured backwards. Immediately, the pretty nv secretary counted several folders Before them.

"This is my little idea about the future. You can see if you have any questions," he said.

All executives, including Meyer, began to turn things up in their hands. They watched quietly, but occasionally raised their heads to change their eyes. Adrian was not in a hurry, and sat steadily waiting.

It didn’t take long for them to read through his plan, and the following was a discussion about stealing sī. Meyer did not join them, but sat quietly watching them in the seat, and waited until the discussion was over. Looking over to Adrian: "This is a surprisingly large idea, Mr. Adrian, please forgive us, we cannot make an exact assessment in a short time."

"I understand," Adrian nodded. "IMHO, Universal has been quiet for a long time. Although it has developed fairly well in the past few years, and it is still very commendable in the case of constantly changing ownership. But there must be disadvantages to anything. Maintaining the basic development progress while letting everyone lose the spirit of forging ahead, especially after... Spielberg left Universal to start DreamWorks, this mentality is particularly prominent. And now, We are not Panasonic, there are no cultural differences, we do not understand what the American audience thinks; we are not Seagram, we know nothing about the media, Hu Luàn directs. We have experience and talent, so why can’t we do better? I You need to work harder, you need to be able to see farther away, just like making a movie, writers, actors, and directors are important, but scenes, props, and lighting are equally important. As long as we work together, we can do it. Better"

He straightened his body, shook his hands briefly, but waved hard. His eyes looked at the people who were doing it. Even if he knew that he was preparing for the plan on the document, the executives couldn't help it. Take a deep breath.

"I understand your thoughts, so this matter does not need to be made in one piece. We can make adjustments according to the actual situation to ensure the smooth integration." He then said again, with a firm and undoubted tone in his tone.

Adrian's plan is actually very simple, it is to split Bosworth, and then merge most of the resources into the world. Prior to this, under the media, Bosworth ranked first among the three largest film production and distribution companies. After all, it was brought out by Adrian, and the responsible Lafone did quite well, even if he was later promoted. I went to the head office, but the foundation was very solid.

But Bosworth’s thinking still has a long way to go to reach the seven major film companies. After all, the seven major film companies have developed in Hollywood for more than half a century. They are deeply entrenched and cannot be replaced casually. of. What's more, overseas distribution rights can't be obtained without deep qualifications. The reason why DreamWorks can't enter the MPAA is because there is no overseas distribution rights, so Adrian set the goal of acquiring one of the seven major film companies from the beginning.

In his plan, the media responsible for film and television production and distribution should be divided in this way. First of all, there is a large company with rich qualifications and strong anti-risk ability. It produces and distributes those large-scale productions with large investment; second To have two medium-sized companies, most of the time producing and distributing medium-invested works, occasionally involving some large investments, one can focus on independent films to obtain honors as the main goal, and the other focuses on commercial films to obtain more profits. Goal; Finally, a small company with a good foundation and qualifications, responsible for the production and distribution of movies with small investment and low cost.

In fact, this plan has already been adjusted according to the actual situation. For example, Miramax and the new line correspond to medium-sized companies. Now that Universal has got it, it is natural to be responsible for the big investment and production, so Bosworth thinks it is redundant, so Adriana split them out and merged into Universal. Most of the staff in Bosworth are brought out by him. There is no credit but hard work. It is impossible to lay off all of them. Besides, they are familiar with his style of doing things, and they are more convenient to use and more... easy to control around the world.

However, the ideas of global executives should also be considered. Most of their abilities are very good, and they should not be chilling. That's why the above remarks, since expressing their attitude and determination, gave them time to run in.

As for Bosworth, although it was reduced to third place after the split, its actual status is not counted, and Adrian will not be ignored. If the small investment and small production works well, it may not be able to develop. The lion mén movie was established last year, and it is still very inconspicuous. It has always been mainly producing and distributing horror movies, but Adrian knows that it is because they are in The horror film has its own eyes, and it will develop into the peak of Hollywood's second-tier film company in the future.

Unfortunately now they are doomed to be unable to do this. From the moment they were established, Adrian has made people watch them. As long as they are optimistic about lion mén, if they are valuable, they will immediately pay a higher price. After buying it, let alone the several horror movies that lion mén developed. This kind of suppression is nothing in Hollywood. DreamWorks has not been stumbling on its company in recent years. If Bosworth hadn’t had any luck, no one saw their potential, but they developed fast and stable. Maybe it's still struggling among the second-tier film companies, and so is the media.

The buzzing sound in the conference room, executives began to discuss, in the plan, most of the people who make and distribute movies and most people who make and distribute TV shows in Bosworth will be merged into the world. Come, can't help them not thinking carefully. The seven major film companies are basically involved in TV production, and there are many works, such as Warner, although there is no "Friends" this affects the US 90s TV series, there are still good works in the broadcast, and **** Ratings. Needless to say, Fox and Disney, X TV's TV series are mostly produced by the former, and the latter's Disney channel has been loved by families throughout the United States.

Universal has also launched a lot of TV series itself. In recent years, it has been acquired and acquired in the past. In order to ensure the development of the company, it has to spend more resources on movies and TV series with faster cost recovery. So Adrian did not interrupt their discussions, just listened quietly, chatting with Claude from time to time, and then answering the questions raised by Meyer and other executives.

It took about ten minutes or so, and the voice of the discussion gradually lowered. In my eyes, Adrian cleared his throat: "So, come here today for now. If you have any suggestions, please summarize them and write them in writing. Give Meyer, and then he will synthesize it and turn it to me."

He doesn’t plan to listen to their advice immediately, just over an hour, what good advice can they come up with? But he didn't mind giving them a deep impression before leaving.

"In addition, I also prepared some plans for the production of movies and TV series." Adrian said to make a gesture to the back, Charlize soon handed a book to him.

"I plan to adapt this novel into a TV series," he put the book into Mayer's hands, and watched them circulate in the past, "broadcast on cable TV, a total of eleven episodes, each invested 80 million yuan Between US$100 million, Universal and TBS's TNT TV station can jointly invest and invite Spielberg to produce – this is what he promised me."

A low voice rang, especially for those who read the book, with an investment of 80 million to 100 million US dollars per episode? This is too exaggerated. Although the production cost of TV series is increasing, such a big investment has never happened before.

Don’t wait for their opinions, Adrian took over three books from Charlize and placed them on the long table in turn: "This is my movie plan. I plan to adapt these three books into movies."

After seeing the covers of those three books, the low voice rang again. These three books are so famous that no one in the audience has read them.

"Do you want... to adapt these three novels into a movie?" Meyer hesitated and then asked uncertainly.

"Yes, a novel and a movie, invested and produced by Universal, rest assured that the three will require an investment of about 300 million to 350 million US dollars, which will not be much higher than "Titanic." Adrian opened a A little joke, "As early as the end of 1994, I got people the right to make adaptations. I have been preparing for so many years, and I have drawn a lot of scene maps and character setting maps. The shooting locations and corner actors also have certain Consider-I like to make long-term plans."

He put his hands on the top of the long table with a smile, his chin lifted slightly, he was very confident, and at the same time, he gave people a sense of top-down view, which made the people present forgot to question for a while.

"I really have you, Ed, but you have the whole audience, they have nothing to say." Sitting in the RV, Claude laughed, then learned Adrian's mouth wěn said at the time: " Very simple, this is my movie"

The indisputable tone was learned by him.

"Isn't this my movie?" Adrian shrugged, took a bottle of champagne and three glasses from the small wine cabinet, poured it over and handed it to Claude and Charlize around him.

"But it will be completed within one year next year... Frankly, even me, I feel a bit exaggerated." Claude said with a glass, "I remember, you have a new movie to shoot in Italy right? And still..."

He didn't say the back half, but squeezed his eyes at Charlize.

"It can be completed in up to two months, and up to three to four months later, without delaying next year's shooting," Adrian said leisurely. "You know, I always make movies very quickly."

"Yeah, yeah, even those of me who don’t know much about making movies know that no one has been able to launch a higher-cost movie like you, and you can always get it in less than half a year. Good box office," Claude sighed, but immediately became happy again, "If it is me, I can not convince them in a short time, you are really unmatched in this respect, Ed. "

"That's because I can deal with more important things to you," Adrian said straightly and seriously, "Because of you, I can put the jīng force on it wholeheartedly, I know this way is coming, Acquire TBS Acquire Global, how much effort do you have, and who are you facing?"

"Because..." Claude tranced, as if caught in memories, "You said, as long as we are intimate, we will not be defeated"

He looked at his eyes, and showed a serious spirit, then patted him on the shoulder: "I always remember, that night when you came to encourage me that night, I said frankly, At first, I was really bored. I thought you were whimsical again, but then... you were attracted to you unconsciously, and then later, now, what is more ambitious than looking at it Do the point-by-point implementation make things more moving?"

"Of course," Adrian laughed and slapped **** Claude's shoulder: "The world will be ours"

Both hands squeezed hard, in the eyes with a smile, everything is self-evident, and then -

"Can you not look at me so affectionately? This is very misleading, Crow."

"Really? If it were not for you to deal with me by the nv people, I wouldn't be bothered to see you, Ed."

"Use the set that deals with nv people to deal with you? Don’t joke, I’m not good at it."

"Of course, of course, we all know what you like-hey, Charlie, don’t you think it’s a boring thing to stay by this man? Why not try to start your own business?"

"I warn you, Crow, don’t abet my secretary, otherwise I will turn my face"

Looking at the two men who dismantled each other's stage, their big eyes and small eyes seemed to be able to do it at any time, Charlize rolled his eyes, and turned his gaze out of the window. Just a smile but unconsciously climbed up the corner of her mouth, but a few minutes later her eyes flashed a daze, and then sighed imperceptibly.

Global’s question comes to an end. Crowder is responsible for how to split and integrate. Adrian only needs to pay attention at any time. With Laffern watching, Bosworth’s people will not suffer too much. However, some things should indeed be started, such as the TV series that is going to invest in the world.

Yes, the "Brothers Brothers" that caused a sensation in the previous life just before entering the 21st century. For movies and TV series based on those novels, Adrian always started very early.

Although with his support, TNT has successfully transformed into a cable TV station that produces its own TV programs and has won quite a lot of users, but in terms of content, it is still more than such a TV station with considerable accumulation. Although "Yù Wangdu" and "Underworld" have become TNT's works because of Adrian ~ IndoMTL.com ~ still launched some fairly good TV series, it is not easy to completely kill them.

So by taking the opportunity of integrating the world, let TNT produce this TV series just right, anyway, there is no shortage of funds and producers. When the script of "Saving Private Ryan" was introduced to Spielberg, Adrian was In Brother Brothers, he used inspiration as an excuse, and he also told him his plans. When he was invited to act as a producer by half a joke, he also agreed.

After this TV series, which is considered a super investment at the present stage, is broadcast on TNT, even if it can be persisted, but for a long time, it cannot pose a threat to TNT that has firmly established its status.

But this is just one of many tasks he needs to ask, and there are still some things he needs to deal with himself-Nintendo found mén through TBS.

During the period when Japanese companies invaded the United States, they established more or less contact with American companies. For example, Capcom had a good relationship with Marvel Comics. In 1995, he launched a new X-Men. Fighting game. TBS has a lot of animation copyrights, so there is a popular animation channel, and Nintendo came to mén to promote an animation they produced, an animation derived from the game.
