King of Hollywood Chapter 29: Industry chain

Chapter 29 Industrial Chain

"Hey, what's your expression, but this is my handwritten song. (Baidu search m, Rainbow Literature Network) WwW. NgWeNXuE. M" stopped to play the finger of the guitar string, the girl glared at Adrian with dissatisfaction At a glance.

"What's wrong? Can't I even yawn?" Adrian is very innocent.

The girl suddenly got stuck and stared at him for a long while before humming vigorously: "I'm not happy, Ed, I'm very upset, you know this song is..."

The words are gone here. Looking at her choking expression, she apparently swallowed back the words behind her, and her face was slightly reddened, and her eyes could not move.

"What is it?" After waiting for a while, Adrian finally couldn't help making a gesture and looked at her with an inquiring look.

"Nothing!" The girl suddenly waved annoyingly, "In short, I am very unhappy, very unhappy."

"Okay, okay, how about I apologize to you? Because of my carelessness, so that the lovely Miss Wei Niu was hurt, I sincerely apologize to her, I hope she can forgive me ." Adrian said with a very formal tone with a smile, while still owing his body.

Seeing him like this, Avril Lavigne suddenly became at a loss, and a little awkwardly squeezed her mouth before stuttering. "Actually...you don’t have to...I’m just kidding..."

"Don't try to lie to me, Wei Niu, I know you are really upset." Adrian reached out and touched her head. Although Avril had an obvious avoidance gesture, he still let him rub it on his head. Twice.

"Since you are not happy, then I must make you happy," he continued with a smile. "You will release the first single in a few months. You must keep it well until then." Status."

"My status has always been good, even if it is released now!" Speaking of her first single, Avril Lavigne suddenly became excited, after all, she traveled thousands of miles from Canada as an exchange student. Did you come to Los Angeles for your own music dream?

"That's right, why can't it be released now? I heard it's all ready." She suddenly asked what she thought of.

"Because September 27th is your birthday." Adrian immediately squeezed on her chin.

Avril blinked her eyes, it seemed that she hadn’t responded yet, but she jumped up and asked in a pleasant tone: "You mean...you mean...released on that day?"

She was so excited that her tone changed slightly.

"Of course, I think this is a good birthday gift." Adrian said with his hands spread out and smiling. The next second, he even lifted up with a chair and almost fell, because Avril slammed Into his arms.

"Thank you, Ed, I like it too much!" she said incoherently, then kissed his face subconsciously.

"I'm glad you like it, but I think you should speak well, and then I will really fall down." Adrian said with some difficulty grasping the cabinet next to it.

Avril noticed her gaffe, and it took another two seconds before she realized what she had done. She jumped back and retracted her chair, holding the guitar in front of her and stopped talking.

"It's really exciting," said Adrian, who regained his seat, grinning, and then changed the subject before Avril was angry. "I wanted to keep this surprise until September, but I have to tell in advance now. You, in this case, after a few months have passed, no matter how much enthusiasm will subside."

"How come, my enthusiasm will never disappear." Avril replied immediately, but immediately showed a worried look: "However, although I am not worried about singing,...I always feel..."

Looking at her indecisive look, how could Adrian not understand what she was worried about, and then she laughed: "Why, the always confident Wei Niu is also less certain in some respects?"

Avril pouted her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end just grunted.

"Okay, Wei Niu, you know, you are still pretty." Adrian no longer teases her, "I will never lose to Britney."

"Do you really think that my hairline is split like this, my hair is covered with acne and some fangs are pretty?" Avril said when she said this.

"How come, your hairline is not high, it does not affect the appearance at all, and there are only a few acne. As for the teeth, it is fine to correct it slightly." Adrian squeezed her with no politeness. Chin, looking at it while saying, "Although it can't be said how beautiful it is, it's definitely not ugly. You know, Wei Niu, in fact, you are the best. Some girls look very beautiful. Once makeup is removed, it will make people There is a big surprise. And your appearance, the difference between makeup and no makeup is not very big, moderate makeup can make you more beautiful, but you will not be ugly without makeup, so you are a beautiful **** the surface, yes Have confidence in yourself."

Although Adrian said it very sincerely, it was a slap that the other party slapped him unkindly: "How long do you have to squeeze like this? Also, can you stop using'Vinyu' again? This title?"

"That won't work, I will never give up my special title." Adrian shook his finger and shook it, and then took a punch in his arm.

"Good, then I will beat you every time I listen to it!" Avril threatened to shake her little fist.

"It doesn't matter, Wei Niu, my body is strong enough, just beat it." Although Adrian said indifferently, when the girl came over with a fist, she did an evasive action.

The girl giggled immediately, her eyes curved, her lips curled up badly, and she seemed satisfied with his inconsistent performance.

So I laughed a few more times, and Ai Weier suddenly asked Ai Ai: "Yes, Ed, can you tell me the content of that single? I mean... who wrote it?"

Her eyes were a little erratic, and she turned away immediately after watching Adrian. How could Adrian not know her thoughts, after all, many people in the company knew that the most popular songs by Britney and Christina The songs are all related to him, and all the songs of Britney's third album are now intervening. Of course, Avril would hope that he will also write a song for himself or put forward a fair opinion.

However, Adrian’s answer disappointed her a little: “It’s a newcomer in the company, and the lyrics are all written by him.”

But immediately he smiled and added: "But I like this song very much. In my opinion, it is very suitable for you-in fact, the song you wrote yourself is not bad, at least just that The song is very good, I also like it very much."

I heard that ridiculous tone, and her mind about writing the song was already known. Avril immediately raised her fist again, in this way to cover up her embarrassment. It seems that a girl with a masculine personality like her likes to use fists to express feelings, but this is not bad, and Avril is no longer a careless character.

So, if you want to get started, you have to wait a while. For some women, you can be strong, but for some girls, you have to wait patiently, as long as it is worth it. Besides, you can't start with her, you can start with others, not Britney and Christina, but...

"Ed! Ed!!! Ed!!!" Jessica? Simpson screamed the name of Adrian loudly, and shook his head frantically on the wall, wrapped around him like an octopus, especially the legs, tightly clamped to his waist, so that he could Further shock.

Hey, the smiling Adrian has slowed down the frequency. From time to time, it will come to the end to make Jessica unsatisfied? Simpson became more and more frantic. Compared with the big flirtatious look of "you are awesome" before and after the fledgling, this time is her real reaction. It is not so easy to cater to Adrian, women are really I was immersed in it or just acting, but he was very clear.

This situation was expected, Jessica? Simpson has hinted at Adrian several times. Who doesn’t want to be a man who is both talented, powerful, and coaxing women? Even if you can't be a popular super idol like Britney or Christina, there will certainly be bright prospects.

So today Adrian revealed a little bit of tone, she posted it without hesitation, and after hanging out together, she took him back to her home.

Adrian doesn’t mind giving Simpson a little benefit, as long as she can make herself satisfied, when Britney and Christina are not in the record company and can’t eat for the time being, there is also a friendly friend, not to mention...

The production of super albums and filming of films continues, and some things continue.

"Is this really a good arrangement, Ini?" Adrian suddenly asked the assistant trainee secretary sitting in front of him after taking his eyes out of the clouds outside the window.

"What's wrong?" Ivanka, who turned over the magazine in front of her, absent-mindedly, looked up at him puzzledly.

A white jumpsuit and a goose-yellow coat, dressed in a typical Ivanka style, set off with her temperament.

"Itinerary, Emma is not a simple little girl, bold and arrogant but very decent, sometimes it seems to have crossed the red line, but in fact it is just a little closer. So, if you don’t leave enough If she spends time as a buffer, she will continue to struggle." Adrian said lazily.

This is on a plane to London. In view of the very smooth progress of "Erin Brockovich", Adrian put two extra days of film crew to show rewards after four weeks of shooting. Then he asked the private plane to prepare a trip to London. Because of the actor's reason and various other reasons, the first part of "Harry Potter" is still being filmed. It can be sealed in early June, and then at least half a year later. Make.

The so-called people who discovered this series in one hand, Adrian should always go over and look at it because of the reason. The entire tens of billions of industrial chains of the "Harry Potter" series must be firmly held in the hand It is because of this series that Claude made up his mind to start with Hasbro.

A well-developed group will inevitably form a semi-closed industrial chain internally, which can withstand most risks. The media industry chain has now completed more than half of it, and it is perfect to include a small part of it. , Such as toy making. Everyone knows that peripherals are the most profitable for animations and games. Especially for popular animations and games, the profits from peripherals are often more than ten times higher than themselves.

Pixar, a media company, is leading the way in animated movies. The Blue Sky studio is also redoubled its efforts. Several game studios also have good works. Know that children, young people and...otaku are the most expensive It's profitable, so no matter in which way, it is worth having a toy manufacturing company.

Hasbro worked with the media before, and for some reason, they became the target. As early as 1998, Adrian and Claude had this plan, but at that time there was not much capital, and Hasbro’s profitability was not bad, and there was not much willingness to sell, so they did not start .

However, this year there is a rumor that Hasbro may suffer a loss. Last year’s release of the first episode of Star Wars made them think that there might be a wave of toys in Star Wars, so they expanded the scale of several factories, but the result It seems not very good. Although they went public last year (note), the acquisition cost may be higher than before, but the media funds have also increased a lot. If the situation is very bad, it is definitely a good opportunity.

This acquisition won’t cost much. Hasbro’s current market value is about 4 billion, which is equivalent to actual assets. Even if a malicious acquisition is made, the cost will not be much higher than this number.

In addition, the dark horse comics are also under consideration for the acquisition. Although there are already surprises in hand, this comic company founded in 86 years can stand and grow between the surprises, and it has the best place in the United States. The momentum of the three major comic companies must have something extraordinary. In fact, to put it bluntly, their development method is also simple, that is, to make comics for popular movies.

The comics for "Alien", "Terminator", "Star Wars" and other movies were produced by them. Even the comics for "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Resident Evil" and "The Expendables" were produced by them. The latter two comic versions want Marvel to be in charge, and even the characters, props, and scene setting drafts of "The Expendables" have been prepared, but many surprising authors have protested, claiming that they are regarded as third-rate comics. People treat.

Okay, this argument still has some truth. For example, although the size of Dark Horse is relatively large, its reputation in the industry is not very good, because most of their works are comic versions of the film, although there are some Original author, but that was all a later matter, and people's views cannot be changed.

So, the comic version of "The Expendables" was finally handed over to Dark Horse Comics. They deserved to do this business. After the launch, it was welcomed by many people. In addition, the previous "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" ​​was also very well produced. Well, Adrian simply handed over the comic version of "Resident Evil" to them. Considering it later, we might as well include the Black Horse comics to supplement the industry chain, and besides, they also have some original works of great commercial value.

Anyway, Black Horse Comics, like Hasbro, can’t cost much, and can even be ignored, and it won’t affect Adrian and Claude’s major plans this year. Yes, the acquisition of Universal Music, the acquisition of Hasbro and the acquisition of Dark Horse Comics are just small actions. Their real goal is on the other hand. This is a tens of billions of acquisitions, and the sooner the better, the cost of the acquisition lasts for a period of time every night. It may increase a lot.

Okay, the topic has gone further, back to the "Harry Potter" industry chain, starting from hiring a private detective to find Rowling, Adrian is playing the idea of ​​this industry chain, "Harry Potter" Theme parks were a small part of his original plan. Although Universal Studios was acquired after Universal was acquired, there were not too many such theme parks.

So it’s not a bad thing to have time to run to London often — of course, and for Emma’s sake, she threatened on the phone that if he could not come again, she would strike and then go to the United States to find him. God, how long has it been since we last left? She is really tricky. Although he knew that Emma’s threats were mostly joking, Adrian decided to visit her in the past, anyway.

Because he is going to return soon, Charlize suggested that he bring his Ivanka counterparts, which would be a test of Ivanka’s current ability.

Ivanka finally decided to stay, although he felt that his revenge could not be abandoned halfway, and it was also caused by Charlize’s curiosity. She really wants to know why some women are so willing to stay with Adrian, what kind of person is Adrian, especially after understanding the stories of Cate, Sarah and Little Emma separately.

This is the case for many women. Once they have a strong curiosity about something, they will never be reconciled if they don't figure it out. Of course, Charlie was able to make such a choice, and she succeeded in breaking her fantasies and provoking her curiosity. It was indeed a good helper. Adrian suddenly didn't want her to leave.

"Um...okay, but...although that's the case, I always have to see her first and communicate with her before I know how to adjust it, do I?" Ivanka said after thinking about it.

"Of course," Adrian nodded, "I just remind you, be careful, Emma is a little devil in a sense."

"I will be careful." Ivanka nodded.

Looking at her still somewhat absent-minded, Adrian is not talking. Little Emma’s headache can only be understood through personal experience.

"Sorry, Mr. Adrian." A voice rang in my ear at this moment.

"Thank you, Allie." Adrian immediately turned sideways, making Allie wearing a blue stewardess uniform? Lat took away the cup in front of him.

"You know~ IndoMTL.com~ Ellie, I'm not going to see you for a few days, and you are beautiful again." He said with a grin.

"Is it?" Allie immediately threw a wink to Adrian, and didn't care about Ivanka sitting next to her, but she looked at her quickly and doubtfully. After all, she was always accompanied by Adrian. Charlize.

But she left without asking anything. This is what Adrian likes her. She is very self-aware, so she is happy to promise some requests that she does not overdo.

"Speaking of that, we still have a few hours of flight time, maybe we should find a private place to communicate." After taking his eyes away from Allie who left, Adrian smiled at Ivanka.

"No, no need," Ivanka made a leaning back movement, looking at him nervously, "I still have...many things to learn."

"Okay, okay." Adrian was not reluctant, and got up and walked in the direction of Allie's departure, without further ado.

Ivanka couldn't help but sip in secret, then sighed in a low voice.
