King of Hollywood Chapter 250: Before step 2
The more hilarious things will gradually calm down under the scrubbing of time, not to mention the Oscar Awards, even if Sophie Marceau won the best actress as a French actress, even if the miracle director reaps the best director and The best movies still cannot violate the law. Of course, the relationship between Miracle Girls and Director Miracle has always been a hot topic of discussion and will continue to be discussed.
Well, in fact, apart from some critics and some filmmakers, people basically do not care about the best directors and best movies of Adrian. Everyone knows that he has created many miracles, everyone knows that he is talented, everyone knows that he has been a regular Oscar for several years, and everyone knows the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy-and the "poor" "Matrix" three This part, this is what the director Miracle said personally-it has caused a huge response around the world. Most book fans think that the adaptation is very good. Everyone knows that he can make any movie... he takes the best director and the best movie. Isn't it normal?
As for the critics' criticism of the new best actress Sophie, oh, there are such reviews every year, at most this year. At first, they criticized Monica, but did the college take it back? Just look at it lively. So, instead of discussing this, it is more meaningful to discuss which Miracle Director will pick up the Miracle Girl next year.
"Speaking of it, these people don't seem to count Nata in the Miracle Girl industry because of the smoke I threw out? It must be interesting to wait until the end of the year." Adrian said by using the mouse to browse the web.
"Isn't this what you want to see?" Claude stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and then replied. Then he waved his hand and pulled the topic back: "Hey, have you seriously considered it, Ed?"
"Don't we agree on our opinions?" Adrian raised his head and spread his hands.
"Of course not, Comcast is undoubtedly more suitable to continue to be his broadband provider, but..." Claude pursed his lips. "You think this is for us, count Not a chance?"
"Do you want to buy Disney?" Adrian raised an eyebrow.
"Why not? Eisner is about to step down, which is unquestionable. Even if he can finally stop Comcast’s malicious acquisition," Claude said quickly, "from the Disney home. The last person to get out of the board of directors is destined, even if Roy Disney is indeed not a qualified businessman."
"So we started after helping them through the difficulty, Eisner had to open one eye and close one, right?" Adrian accepted, then frowned.
Although the media suddenly started to **** Comcast's promising AT&adband a few years ago, this did not dispel their desire to transform themselves into a media group. So when Disney started the civil strife, they took the opportunity to maliciously acquire it. Eisner wouldn’t agree, but those on the board who started to move around because of Roy Disney’s departure didn’t think much, and Comcast’s price was high.
Comcast did not spend too much time and money on AT&adband, and because of the competition for the media, Disney is a little smaller than the previous life. Although it has become compact and much more effective, it was not easy for them to fight Comcast in the previous life, let alone now. But there are advantages and disadvantages, when Eisner asked Red Stone and Claude for help. They all agreed.
In the past life, Eisner considered resisting Comcast’s malicious acquisition through a merger. It does not need to really do this, but it is enough to make a gesture, but after he found Lei Shidong, the latter clearly Rejected his proposal. At that time Viacom had CBS, and Disney had. If this is done, Comcast can make a fuss about regulatory barriers.
However, Disney originally belonged to the media, so this concern is gone, and then Viacom and the media make a gesture, Disney also has the confidence to reject Comcast. In any case, several of the top media groups in the world have developed in this field from the beginning, including young media. Therefore, as Claude said before, Comcast is still more appropriate to be an operator, which is also a kind of hatred.
It's just that Adrian didn't think that Claude really had the idea of putting Disney in his pocket.
"I object." Closed my eyes and thought for a moment, passing a lot of things in my mind, Adrian gave his own answer, "We don't need it."
"No need?" Crowder frowned, obviously the answer didn't quite fit his mind.
"Yes, we have some of the Disney, and we are very much of the Disney, so why do we need Disney?" Adrian said, and honestly, he was really a little emotional at first. Anyway, Disney alone Old signboards are attractive enough, not to mention their ability to operate well.
But everything is pros and cons, especially for this level of acquisitions. Although Adrian is relatively mediocre in business, it has accumulated a lot of experience over the years, not to mention he can see the future . Therefore, in his opinion, there is no need for the current media to acquire Disney.
"It's very simple, the market," Claude said of his opinion immediately. "Disney has a considerable share of the market for children and adolescents. They have inherent advantages in this. Although we have made many efforts, And you have made good progress with your support, but it will take some time to reach their current level. In this case, is it better to include them in our system? Moreover, Disney has a considerable history. "
After hearing this last sentence, Adrian couldn't help laughing. He roughly understood Claude's thoughts. From a certain point of view, he and his own reason have some confidence.
"I let people analyze their financial situation in detail. It is true that if we succeed in the acquisition we will have to bear a lot of debt, but for us with good operating conditions, the burden is not important, it is totally worth it." Claude Continue.
"I believe this, Crow, since it is what you said, then there is definitely no problem, but my concerns are not here." Adrian organized the following words and said, "You know, our future is not here." This is above."
"Yes, yes. I know that our future is on the Internet, you have said it hundreds of times, Ed," Claude was a little displeased, "but there is no conflict with the acquisition of Denis, is it? ?"
"I remember that while Eisner asked us for help. He also sent the same message to News Corporation, but Murdoch made it very clear that they would not consider this," Adrian said a little to him. I didn’t pay attention to it, "Yes, I know. Although the media can basically be ranked first in the media industry, News Corp. is always catching up behind. If they don’t work hard to maintain momentum, they will be overtaken. Lao, we should sometimes look more at our opponents’ ideas. Yes, the acquisition of Disney will allow us to expand our scale again, but as the proverb says, cunning mice are easily strangled, and blind expansion can easily drag us down. "
He said he paused here, carefully observed Claude's expression before proceeding: "Disney is doing very well in the youth market. But we have done well, and I already have several A good idea, why can’t wait to eat this piece of cake, which seems to be delicious at the moment? Can’t wait to eat it? Our future is on the Internet, I have said it many times, Google has already confirmed that this year, they It is going to be listed, and it will inevitably become the most eye-catching IT stock in the past few years. Not to mention that Victor has operated k, uTube and the newly launched tter very well."
Claude showed a thoughtful expression, which made Adrian relieved: "In this respect, we have walked in front of other media groups for the second time. It is the thing that should be managed with the utmost care. Why must we stare? Disney? Let them appear in front of everyone as an independent media group, rather than let us be on the cusp of the storm."
Finally, he stood up and concluded: "We are still very young, Crow, this is our biggest advantage, we-already legendary!"
This is what Adrian really wants to say. Just as most Americans always subconsciously envy European history, Claude also hopes that the group can have more qualified companies. The most despised thing about the media has always been its youth. From the beginning of the development of a small company to its current size, it is only in its early ten years. No heritage is one of their labels. Even after the acquisition of Global and PolyGold Not down.
This is another important reason why Claude wants to buy Disney in addition to market factors.
At the beginning, Adrian thought the same way, but because of his previous experience, he knew very well that this thing is sometimes glory, but sometimes it is also a burden. Just like people, when he was young, he always dared to fight and fight hard. When he was old, he saw more things, and he gradually became conservative.
For a company, the media is still very young, and the head of Adrian is as young as Claude-not to mention the old men such as Eisner, Murdoch, and Redstone, even if they are These groups are much younger than those who pushed down the front desk. So why bother with this? What's more, as Adrian just said, they are already legendary.
However, in the early ten years, Adrian and Claude have become the most powerful people in the media industry from being anonymous, and the former is also a famous miracle director. The media has also grown from a small business to a worldwide scale. A media group with considerable influence, which can be called a magical development course, must not enter the MBA courses of various schools.
Throughout history, such a fast-growing company can count both hands, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a living legend. In fact, the big plan of Adrian is precisely to advance this goal, of course, more for themselves.
"Okay." Claude finally let go, "I'll let people reassess."
Not expressly giving up, indicating that he still has his own ideas, which is not surprising, Adrian understands very well, and he knows that he certainly has requirements.
"However." Claude continued, and with a hint of smirk, "You must ensure that we have made some progress in the youth market."
"Okay," Adrian couldn't help crying, "I said I already had some ideas."
Adrian does have an idea. It’s a very good idea. Without the burden for ten years, without the conflict and frustration with Miramax, Eisner’s shrinking strategy makes Disney not as good as other media groups. On the whole, it is still expanding. And the benefits are quite good. Therefore, their civil strife must be very long, at least longer than Adrian's memory, which gave him the opportunity, but he found many interesting things.
After resolving this matter, Adrian immediately turned his attention to other aspects. Oscar has passed, and he has got a good start with the second best director. Naturally, the second step of the plan is to be carried out. Anyway, he is a director and a producer.
So, Adrian started to be busy for the early stage of "Broken Mountain", not just to prepare for the location of Montana-in fact, the film was basically shot in the location-but also A series of other things are arranged properly. Needless to say, acquiring or helping Disney. Claude did not completely abandon his views, and several discussions were needed. Adrian always felt that he seemed to have overlooked something. When he persuaded Claude, something flashed from his mind. He couldn't catch it, but he couldn't find it when he wanted to search again.
This situation is also normal. Although the memory of Adrian is good, it does not mean that he can think of anything at any time.
In addition, it is the later stage of "Going Forward". When the "Matrix" trilogy and "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy have been completed, he can invest more energy to make it more perfect. Some, although he did not put much energy into those two trilogy before.
Next, some movies or TV series should also be checked. For example, Scarlett's "Return to New Jersey" has been scheduled to be released in the low season at the end of March, and Peter Jackson's "King Kong" directed and produced by Naomi has also aimed at this summer's summer holiday.
For the former, there is nothing to say. Adrian took a rough look. There are too many movies with the theme of "slightly sick teenagers regaining their selves because of love and friendship." A place where people shine. But Scarlett is relatively speaking, although it is half a chip worse than the original Natalie, but more lively. It's quite flattering, and it's perfectly appropriate for her to play this role.
Although this kind of movie is cliché, there is always a market, and as long as the plot is satisfactory, the word of mouth will not be worse, plus the cost is also low, how much can still earn some, used to keep Scarlett Popularity couldn't be more appropriate.
As for "King Kong", with the intervention of Adrian, this version of "King Kong" is much better. At least the main character, King Kong, did not come out after half of the plot, and the rhythm is not bad. The atmospheric scenes are well edited, but... Peter Jackson is still suitable for shooting pure fantasy films.
He is still obsessed with CG, so that the special effects are rendered too much. Although the island where King Kong is located looks beautiful and charming, the level of tones is too obvious, but it gives an unreal feeling. It doesn't matter if it's put in a movie with a fantasy background like "The Lord of the Rings", but it's inevitable that it's in a movie based on reality.
However, Adrian didn't say much. Waiting for the movie to be released, let Jackson observe the market's response. It's because he took Naomi so beautifully.
The appearance of Naomi in "King Kong" can be described as quite bright and moving, especially the soft and pitiful appearance at the beginning of the downfall because of the Great Depression is enough to make many people feel sorry for me. , So Adrian was always happy to take some small means to catch her by her side. It's just that she originally wanted her to master a behind-the-scenes or shooting skills, but it seems that it will take a long time.
The reason why he and Nicole shot Naomi in the film "The Debauched Wife" is to see if she can help her in the future, know that from the light to From the props to the shooting, he is all in charge, and the efficiency is too low. Up to now, he has just completed a film called "Betrayed Shakespeare". Although the film of "Cheating Wife" is easily completed, it will take time to edit it-this is also what he has been busy with recently. One of them~IndoMTL.com~ Fortunately, Sophie gradually let go of the director, maybe not as talented as other female directors, but the law is quite satisfactory, let her take the mirror, plus add Side guidance, the effect is definitely better.
Okay, Adrian initially persuaded Sophie to be a director, but maybe there was no other idea, but then there must be, so he wanted to train other women. Everyone's efforts to get together for a woman's famous work, ha, that must be very interesting, the relationship will be more harmonious, and...closer around him.
Like Naomi, in the Adrian, he collided with Nicole passionately in front of the camera and said that she could use the "VIP card" method to pay for her filming. "VIP card".
Adrian will definitely not refuse, anyway, this year and next year, the impact on the best actress will come to an end, Naomi wants this easy, at least have to wait three or four years, just right Can handle. Of course, that takes time. There are at least two women to be handled this year. Take your time, just like letting her learn to palm mirror or lighting.
The above is what Adrian has to do before preparing "Broken Mountain"-oh, there is one more thing, a long-planned thing. (To be continued...)
