King of Hollywood Chapter 41: The future is in my hands
Frankly speaking, Adrian has never been so tired, more tired than the crazy movie editing he has been in the editing room for several days, and this kind of thing is not so easy to do, and it is still a smart person. Don't think that the real tiger's body is shocked, people will listen to you, who doesn't have enough interests to control you to die.
Returned to the bedroom of his home, Adrian took off his jacket, poured himself a glass of water, and exhaled, sitting on a single sofa, recalling all the tonight. Thanks to his deliberately easing his relationship with his uncle, he also went to New York several times. Otherwise, he still doesn’t know how to get rid of those words today. It can be said that he received news from his uncle once or twice, but both times. Some are justified.
For example, when Claude finally asked him why he was staring at the Quantum Fund, Adrian dared not move out his uncle as a shield. Fortunately, he just asked Claude to stare at the Quantum Fund and did not specify what to do, and Rogers and Soros are now quite famous, so he finally convinced Claude.
Anyway, the purpose of this evening is all achieved. Adrian was thinking about it silently with drinking water. Although he would like to put all the shelves together in one go, he also knows that the haste is not enough. Moreover, full bloom is not the best way. DreamWorks is the best example. Even if Adrian knows the future development, it is not a reason to squander arbitrarily. Maximizing the interests is what he should do.
Therefore, Adrian first chose a publishing company and a brokerage company. For the former, he also knew that the three novels he threw were simply not enough to watch. No matter whether "Resident Evil", "Tomb Raider" or "The Matrix" were attached to Games and movies exist, and there is no huge popularity for games and movies. "Resident Evil" and "Tomb Raider" can only be regarded as second-rate novels. "The Matrix" is better, but only a little, describing the virtual world and the definition of reality. There are too many science fiction novels in the United States.
I really want the publishing company to achieve high popularity as soon as possible, and he is not without a way. The magic series that caused a wave of the world a few years later, and the one that will make housewives love to die a few decades later. The vampire novels are excellent targets. However, for the former, Adrian has other arrangements; for the latter, it is not something that a big man can write anyway, but it is the American version of the ‘poor’ grandmother, not to mention that he has only seen movies and never read novels.
In fact, if you just want to open up a situation for publishing companies, those three novels are enough-as long as they are operated properly. If Claude doesn't have this ability, it can only be said that Adrian is blind.
As for the brokerage company, as Claude once said, in the future, it will be convenient for the group to allocate resources when it grows up; secondly, if the brokerage company is strong enough, it will also be a supplement to the network. It is beneficial for Adrian to control Hollywood, not to mention that CAA at this time is unique, but it is far from reaching the scenery of 10 years later.
This gives Adrian an opportunity to intervene. It’s very simple. At least in his opinion, it’s the CAA’s broker system is very good. Just copy it directly, and then sign the future stars first, and hold a few more yourself. A star came out — that’s why he kept Dennis and Cate not busy looking for agents for the time being — in the 21st century, he didn’t dare to say that he had the top spot in Hollywood, but it should be possible to fight with the CAA Chamber. Again, as long as Claude operates properly.
As for other aspects, step by step, Adrian has a rough plan, just as Crowder prepares foreign trade companies and focuses on quantum funds to follow suit, it needs to wait for the time to come.
But all night, Adrian was more proud than that show-off. To be honest, it was not difficult to convince Claude to agree to establish an IT venture capital company. It’s fine to explain it a little bit. He makes money on websites. But Adrian came to a passionate preaching, from the US election to the information superhighway to a brand new industry, and it also led to the last not knowing where to get the news that quantum funds may have action.
If there are other rebirths on the scene, I would definitely think that this guy is relying on his own strength to show off his understanding of the Internet-in fact, Adrian thinks so, but every step of his Purposeful.
Even brothers may have conflicts due to the company’s power issues, not to mention Adrian and Claude. To solve this problem, two conditions must be met: First, the size of the company will not be too large; Second, the capabilities of the two people are comparable.
The first question is needless to say, the goal of Adrian from the beginning was the group company. As for the second question, if he has the ability to run a group company well, will he rack his brains and bring in Claudela?
But because of this, Adrian will not dispute with Crowder over the control of the company, so... this problem should not exist. But this problem does not exist, does not mean that other problems do not exist.
Many CEOs with outstanding abilities will inevitably swell their personal power desires after taking the company to the peak, and then want to monopolize the power to kick out the people who disagree and oppose them. At this time, unless the CEO has caused huge losses or offended too many people, the board will not interfere with him too much.
Of course, according to the impression of Adrian, Claude should not be such a person. Besides, his position is very clear: I can’t do this, so please come, I will affect you without interfering with you. Claude is not a fool, and naturally understands the key.
It's just that with the development of the company, Claude will inevitably establish his own right to speak, and Adrian, who is a major shareholder, cannot compare with the CEO who controls the direction of the company. So, what if he puts forward some very important suggestions that must be completed based on his own memory and reality in the future, and Claude holds the opposite opinion? He couldn’t do long-form lobbying like this evening every time. It’s just a joke about staying with Claude all the time. He’s not Gay. It’s too bad in case of two or two.
Therefore, as far as possible, Adrian has left Claude a deep impression. Think about what impact he will have on what he said and what he predicted one after another a few years later. ! In this way, even if Adrian has any suggestions and his views to the left, the other party will carefully consider.
This is what you can do for now. Adrian stood up and walked to the floor, looked at the little light outside and reached out and squeezed his fist. The future will be in my hands!
After Berlin Film Festival, Lafern started to follow up the promotion work of "Memento". Although he didn't understand why Adrian was designated to be released by Universal, he did so.
The focus of this publicity was naturally on the second work directed by Guicai. At the same time, there were two works released in less than a year, which won the Best Newcomer Award at the Venice Film Festival and the Berlin Film. The Festival Special Jury Award, and the movie "This will be a very test of observation" are all selling points.
Therefore, even if Adrian is still a newcomer, even if the movie was released on March 10, there is no premiere as before. The 800 screens that can be obtained with the help of Universal still bring 10 million. Box office for the first week of the dollar.
can get this high box office in the first week of 1991, in addition to the selling points mentioned above, there is also a star effect, but the star here is not Dennis or Cate, but Adrian as a director and producer. The black humor of the previous "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" made many people who like cut movies remember his name. After another half a year, he made another cut movie and also won the special jury award at the Berlin Film Festival. Fern's effective publicity and Ronnie Gross's film reviews when he participated in the Berlin Film Festival, naturally curious people naturally entered the theater for the first time.
In addition to the popular box office, the critics’ comments were almost one-sided.
"An excellent movie, the delicate tailoring of Adrian makes this story thought-provoking."-"New York Times"
"This is a simple and complex movie~IndoMTL.com~ If you want to understand it, you will have to watch it a few times."-"Empire"
"When I came out of the cinema, the first thought was to go back and watch it again, although I understood the ending. There are countless clues in the movie, and each clue is a supplement to the overall plot. Through these clues, we can get a deeper understanding of the story and what the director wants to tell you. As for the actor, Dennis Knight, who was the protagonist for the first time, has more shining points than the upper film, although because of her youth in certain The place is still a bit lacking, but overall it is quite good; Joe Pantoriano, the main supporting actor, needless to say, made the whole movie a lot more colorful; as for Miss Cate·Beckinsale, Need to hone."-Famous film critic Roger Albert
Although there are a few critics who say that the editing is too fancy, it is confusing, but most of the reviews are praised. Many people like this tone, and it is a profound performance when it complicates simple things.
Well, don’t mention this. For Bosworth Films, if the last release of "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" let them see hope, then the company's investment in "Memento" box office, word of mouth double harvest It is undoubtedly a cardiotonic agent. It has been about two or three years since the last time this happened.
And Adrian subsequently injected another 10 million US dollars into the company, many people have reshaped their confidence in the company. It is just that some people's confidence is a little late. Adrian said that the time limit for not interfering with the company's business is only half a year. Now that it has passed half a year, changes are also necessary.
