King of Hollywood Chapter 268: Solution

"What do you think he will do, Crow?" Adrian asked after Turner left.

"The possibility of agreeing to the conditions we offer is relatively high," Claude said after thinking about it. "Although he still has some countermeasures, it does not work for us. At best, it takes more. Money and time. Ted also understands this, and it’s not good for everyone to earn a lot of money, so he will probably agree with us in the end. Of course, your words also played a big role, and they were quite imposing. Also quite...arrogant."

"Ted went to a military academy, and he has a disobedient personality in his bones, and he is also full of strong contradictory and enterprising spirit, otherwise he will not develop TBS to the point where he is today, so he takes a strong stance. To advertise his achievements can more resonate with him." Adrian shrugged his shoulders. "But in my opinion, your praise of CNN and what was revealed, when you chose a more promising TBS instead of losing money. Let him feel that respect and satisfaction play a greater role. I still remember when we praised CNN’s 24 hours of uninterrupted news as an amazing setting, he did not hide his pride and pride at all."

"That is of course, this should be his most valuable idea," Claude laughed. "But I insist on my opinion. After all, there is no basis for facts. A strong gesture will only cause him to do that. Disgusting people. I have to sigh here, but in three years you have done so...you are right, Ed, it is indeed what you say it will be, very much Amazing"

"You are the same, Crow, without you, the development of the media will not be so rapid, and we will not talk about acquisitions with Ted now," Adrian raised his hands, "Don’t sigh these anymore, this It's just the beginning."

After he paused, he said again: "Oh, if Ted agreed to our terms, how would you plan to arrange him?"

"What do you think?" Claude asked after pondering.

The two looked at each other and said in unison: "Vice President."

Slightly stunned, the two laughed coincidentally.

"To fully control TBS in our hands, Ted must not continue to be TBS." Claude thought so, but Adrian's heart turned to other ideas.

"He is too old," Adrian said, "Although he refuses to lose, he still maintains the spirit of going in, but some concepts are difficult to change after a long time of accumulation, and the next few years just need the concept to continue Renovated era"

Although the starting points of the two are not the same, the purpose is the same-it is convenient to kick Ted Turner out if necessary. This is also a normal business practice.

"Internet tide?" Claude asked, looking at Adrian.

"Internet tide." Adrian sipped coffee and nodded.

Claude didn’t speak anymore, he knew that Adrian had always been full of Internet, it can be said to be a fanatical confidence, not only kept in touch with Stanford, but also privately followed several college students in electromechanical engineering through Regget. Interested-Adrian did not hide these from him.

"Oh, Crow, I have some suggestions to tell you about the current momentum of the film company," Adrian reopened at this time, "Although it’s okay to talk to Laffern, but I think there is Your support may play a bigger role."

Claude makes a please gesture.

"When you talked about this a while ago, you didn't give a detailed explanation, but I know that the situation is not bad, but it's not much better," Adrian thought, "So I've been thinking about solutions. "

It really isn’t much better, if it’s not through the acquisition of Paramount that successfully entered Viacom’s board of directors, because “Schindler’s List” made some deals with some Jewish gangsters, plus With the support of his father, it is difficult to say what the media will face now.

"As I said to Ted before, I don’t understand certain things, so I can only think from my perspective, and others will depend on you to add." Adrian said as a gesture, "Our current situation is that the momentum is too high, so just drop it down, and my idea is to distribute a large number of low-cost independent movies."

He said that there was a pause here. After taking a sip of coffee, he continued to say: "You know, I started making almost independent films at a low cost, so let the film company have in the independent film circle. There is a good reputation, so we can use this reputation to distribute as many low-cost movies as possible. Of course, there are a few of them that can make money, most of which are very good at protecting capital, and more are still loss-making. In this way, our upward momentum, at least from the data point of view, is contained. As for the losses, the costs of these movies are relatively small, so as long as it will work-such as cost recovery through video tapes-the loss will not be too large, completely Within affordable limits, and, as you know, tax avoidance."

"And there are two advantages to doing so," seeing Claude said what he wanted to say, Adrian immediately raised his hand and pressed in the air, "First of all, we can continue to maintain our reputation in the independent film circle, although the big Investing in big productions will be the trend, but you should never lose small production movies; secondly, there will be high box office movies in small productions. I have personally proved this, plus it can enrich the source library, there is no reason Don't do this."

"This is an ideal state, right?" Claude said after thinking about it.

"Of course, but you have to admit that this is indeed a viable method." Adrian shrugged, "Don't forget..."

"Yes, I know, we have to supplement the rest." Claude looked at him angrily and funny, "You guy"

"Then it is so determined, there is no other thing, then I will go." Adrian said standing up.

"This is only a few minutes away. Who are you going to date with today?" Claude sighed.

"Cate, she doesn't seem to be in a good mood today, she had coaxed on the phone before." Adrian replied with a smile, "I'm thinking about traveling with her for a few days."

"You guy..." Claude shook his head and seemed to think he was not doing well, but Adrian immediately teased him with a lazy voice: "Don't tell me, Crow, you and The German model was in the hotel just talking for one night, or you want to say, you and those models are just ordinary friends?"

"That's different, I'm just playing, and you now..." Claude suddenly closed his mouth with a gesture, Adrian reached out, half joking, half warning, and nodded him, and then laughed away. Go out.

It’s the same as before, nothing has changed. Claude chuckled and went out after adjusting his clothes. No, it has changed, and it has changed a lot. After the car that watched the Adrian outside the club left, Claude, who got on his own car, thought so.

Recalling the situation in the past three years, even if he has always been determined, he can't help feeling a dream.

"I want to take control of Hollywood" This was what Adrian said to him at the time. At that time he just thought he was joking, but now, they already have their own careers and have taken the most solid step towards this goal.

Claude remembers the sneer when Adrian questioned him "want to go on according to his father's plan, or own his own business", and pointed to a little light outside the floor glass and said, "Look at those people "When I disdain, or when I describe the prospects of the Internet, I look up and down.

Frankly speaking, for a while he was really strange to his buddy. He suddenly woke up and wanted to cheer up completely. He suddenly wanted to set ambitious goals for himself, but one never touched. The guys who have made movies have made low-cost and high-office movies over and over again, which is really incredible.

"I never knew that this child would have such a talent, maybe this is really a gift from God?" Old Ron Reese once said to Claude half surprised and half curious.

However, this strangeness didn’t last long. Although Adrian has changed a little bit in terms of words and manners and life habits, it was the guy Claude was familiar with, especially when asked why he could make a movie. The guy replied very verbally: "Because I am a genius."

If it was still at Stanford, Claude had flipped him on the ground. Of course, it was more likely that he was flipped. Adrian is very likely to fight.

It's just that the most important reason is not this. The most important reason is that this guy's hobby of hunting is basically unchanged, but he went to the UK and came back with a beautiful girl.

Be aware that Adrian was famous for picking girls when it was in the college fraternity. Every fraternity party brought or took different girls, although it was so confusing for rich children like Claude. Even some erosive university life is normal, but there are still rumors that "Stanford's slightly beautiful girls have **** with Adrian", and it is widely spread.

This is indeed a rumor. As a buddy, Claude is very clear about his movements. Although Adrian likes to pick up girls, he has not reached that point. However, the rumor is so widespread that there is a foundation. In an AA league, the University of Washington visited Stanford. The two teams played fiercely outside. He and the cheerleader also fought fiercely in the locker room. The cheerleaders couldn't find the captain for a long time when they were on the show, and it turned out how bad the midfield performance was. Fortunately, few people knew the specific situation, neither Adrian nor the cheerleader named Jia was punished for it.

Of course, at first, Claude didn’t think so, because the previous Adrian never took the girl home, so he just thought he wanted to settle down, but this idea appeared in Monica next to Adrian Immediately after being overthrown, Claude found that his buddy had changed and had not changed.

Adrian not only brought Cate home, but also maintained a relationship with Monica, and also occasionally played a one-night stand outside-although he would not take the initiative to speak, but it was only Claude asked, he would not hide. Under this circumstance, Adrian still maintains the qualities of... well..."principles of principle".

The title of "principles of principle" was not Claude's name for Adrian, but the comment of the cheerleader who had beautiful blond hair and a good figure. If the AA League thing wasn’t Adrian entrusted by the president of the college students to help, Jiya might not be punished, but.........

"Since this incident was caused by me, of course I have to take responsibility." Adrian at that time was not as mature and confident as it is now. A lazy look made him quite uninhibited. For young girls It's very attractive, so after expressing gratitude, Gia began to take off her clothes again.

Interestingly, this review has been unanimously approved by girls who have a relationship with Adrian, which shows that the female relationship of Adrian is quite good.

"If they do leave, I will not stop it." He said so now.

Damn, why am I remembering this kind of thing? Claude in the car suddenly laughed silently. Probably because the most important acquisition is finally settled. After all, in the blueprint they built, this is an essential part. It can be considered a miracle for anyone who knows a completely new media company to develop to this point within three years.

"I'm proud and proud of you, son, for both of you." Father said this very seriously.

If it were not for Adrian to encourage him to start a business together, maybe he is still working hard in his father’s company. Claude sighed in his heart. Adrian has been giving him surprises since the beginning of 90. He also wants to know what kind of surprises will come next. Although his confidence in the Internet is not as strong as Adrian, he was carefully carefully after being affected by Adrian. I have studied it, and I am still optimistic about the prospects of the Internet.

"I'm waiting for the Internet tide to come, I hope it won't disappoint." Claude murmured so that a slight smile appeared on his face, at this moment he inexplicably surpassed confidence: We will continue to work wonders

But in the next second, Claude looked at the time and turned his attention to other aspects. The German model named Heidi Klum probably returned to New York tomorrow, and he can still make an appointment today. As a buddy of Adrian, how could he not be interested in women, but unlike Adrian, he has a lot of free time, so most of the time just playing with models, these women are the easiest to get started.

Compared to Crowder, although Adrian is also driving on the way, it is the company's business that I have in mind. About the method of mass distribution of small-cost or independent films, he found it for a long time in his memory. The Lionsgate movie is based on this trick, relying on the accumulation of B-level movies to establish its foothold in Hollywood and grow. If it weren’t that time, Miramax already had a very high reputation in the independent film industry, and with Weinstein’s deep experience in Hollywood, maybe Lions Gate could fight against them in this respect.

Now it’s better to use Bosworth to use this trick. With the low-cost independent films of Adrian, Bosworth has divided Miramax’s influence in the independent film circle by at least half. If Lavern is doing well, it will inevitably be able to further expand this influence. At the same time, the source library can also be filled, and the loss can also be reduced to a minimum through the distribution of video tapes. It can also contain its upward momentum on the surface.

As for the negative impact of this move, for example, although Lion Gate occupies a position in the second-line film company, it is almost synonymous with B-level film, and there is almost no particularly large production. Don't forget what Adrian does.

"If the film company should develop earlier if it comes to mind earlier?" Adrian thinking so shook his head, took out his mobile phone and dialed it up.

This negotiation is over, and an important issue has been resolved, but it will take time for the final result. As for other things, with the arrival of March, there are more and more articles about Oscars foresight. Although many people are aware of "Schindler's List" has other advantages that other movies can't match, but In order to show fairness, he still analyzes the pros and cons of other movies.

However, under "Schindler's List", the most likely to get the best film is "The Piano~IndoMTL.com~ The two films that produced and released Bosworth must have received a lot of attention. Someone with good deeds sighed in the article: While other film companies are worried about how to canvass their own movies, Bosworth Films is worried about which movie to canvass for. Last year they were like this. This year it was like this. Surprised.

This invisibly pushes Bosworth Films to a high level, but Adrian is not worried. It has reached this point anyway, so why not cover it up. Besides, the solution has been settled, but it only takes time to implement it-there is no way to be effective immediately.

Lavern has always done public relations for "Schindler's List" as directed by Adrian, as well as Tom Hanks' best actor. Although Hanks has an advantage in this Oscar, it has no absolute advantage. At the same time, Liam Nissen, the nomination, needless to say, the Irish is the first time to nominate, and he is still in the production of Bosworth Films. The movie is basically negligible; and Anthony Hopkins has already won the film actor once, unless it has been too long apart or the performance is impeccable, otherwise it is difficult to take it again; as for Lawrence Fishburne, Skin color has decided that it is impossible now; so the biggest opponent is Daniel Day Louis.

This guy has qualifications and acting skills, and "In the Name of the Father" has also won many praises, which poses a considerable threat to Hanks.
