King of Hollywood Chapter 42: Development of film companies
Although the previous company's performance has increased, Adrian has also beaten some people through Lavern, but there are always a small number of people who commute to get off work with a mixed mindset. This is actually normal. Of course, it is also normal to ask them to pack and leave. Any company that wants to develop will not allow this kind of situation where people are floating.
The next step is to expand the various departments. Adrian handed over all these to Lavern, and he only mentioned two requirements. The first is to sign a few excellent screenwriters as soon as possible. Frankly speaking, the editors now have the level to help modify and adjust, and Adrian needs the kind of ideas and regulations that can be written. Script talent.
The two films he is making now and the next few films to be made, all the scripts are done by himself. This wasn't originally there, but as time goes on, there will only be more and more movies to be produced. Shouldn't the script be written by him alone? More than a dozen script outlines have been stored on the screenwriter's union.
Laffern has no idea about this. Adrian knows how to sell the script to the several film companies. If the editor can have a screenwriter to help the big boss write a few more high-cost box office The script is undoubtedly very huge for the company's development. But for another request of Adrian, he was puzzled.
"Establish a TV drama production department?" In Adrian's office, Lavern asked unclearly, "Why?"
"Of course I was preparing for the TV series, Laffer," Adrian shrugged, "What do you think I will do?"
"But... our situation is just getting better, don't worry about scaling out so hurriedly, Ed?" Raffen reminded politely that he was obviously against it.
"I know your concerns, Laffer, but don't worry," Adrian didn't feel uncomfortable, he knew what Laffern was worried about, "I didn't say that a complete department would be established soon, nor I said I would see the work immediately. I need you to set up the framework, recruit people to run in, build a more professional team, and wait for the time to start production. I will give you enough time and funds, Of course, this does not mean that you can squander at will."
"Can I know what it means when the time is up?" Laffern thought back and said.
"Remember what I said to you in a few days? My goal is not just to make movies." Adrian smiled slightly, before he revealed how much entertainment media company he founded with Crowder. Laffern is a smart person and very capable. After the film company grows, he is the best choice for CEO.
Laffern showed a clear look: "I understand, Ed, I will do the same."
"Then so," Adrian nodded, and then thought of something again, "Oh, they can let them send a trial tape to the TV network to practice the production of TV dramas, if they are really fancy. Not a bad thing."
Few major TV networks in the United States rarely invest in TV series by themselves. Generally, the film and television production company first produces 20 to 40 minutes of images and hands them to the person in charge of the TV network. If the other party feels valuable, they will buy the film and television. The company produces a season and then arranges the broadcast schedule according to the content. Of course, if the ratings do not reach the ratio they want, they will be cut without hesitation.
So it’s not a way to make the team run-in practice by making a trial band, and you can also use this opportunity to exercise the screenwriter-the script of the American drama is generally responsible for 5 to 6 people, because it is always broadcast once a week. Episodes, so every episode of an excellent American drama will have something to look at, either suspense or funny, plus adjust the plot according to the audience's opinion, so the quality of the screenwriter is a great test. And if there is a TV network fancy buying, it can also increase the company's income. If it becomes popular, it will greatly increase the company's popularity. Why not do this kind of thing?
"I get it." Raphine nodded.
Adrian is dealing with the movie company, and Claude is not idle. AC Entertainment Media is soon established. Although the name is really bad enough, I took the initials of the two, but Adrian didn't care about anything. The company's name is just a symbol, it has no influence, and the name is impressive and useless.
Although Adrian gives Crowder full power, it does not mean that he will not care about development. It's just that Claude didn't need his help at all, and quickly built the company not to mention it, but also dug several talents from his father's company-the godfather did not blame Adrian on the phone for complaining, saying that they two I don’t know if it’s high or thick. Adrian just smiled after hearing it. He knew that the godfather was just a little unwilling. Every father would want his son to inherit his mantle, and every wise father knew that his son needed to start his own business after all.
Even if young people are aggressive, even if Crowder is superior, some things are not so quick to solve, such as the acquisition of publishing companies and brokerage companies. The former is okay, after the new media company has finished running in, it can be directly negotiated with a publishing company that does not perform well; but the latter, after the acquisition, has to reorganize and train brokers according to the CAA system. Such work cannot be completed in a few days.
Adrian can't help much here. The only thing that can be done is to write a 2 million check for Dennis and give him a good rest for half a year. Although the box office at the weekend of the second week of "Memento" was not very satisfactory, after increasing to more than 1,000 theaters, the total box office in North America was only about 21 million.
Because there are too many clues and details in "Memento", it is not easy to understand them all at once. Even Roger Albert admits this. This indirectly gives people the impression that the movie is difficult to understand, which affects the box office. But it is also these clues and details that are closely related to the story that will make those who like it can't help but watch it repeatedly, so when it comes to the back, it will bring a group of people into the theater, so I believe that the box office of "Memento" will not be the same as "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" "The difference is too far, that is, there may be more in the theater line.
So Adrian still gave Dennis a red envelope that was 4 times the last time. It didn’t matter if the final box office was not good. Claude made a lot of money for him in oil futures, and not all of the funds Investing in the newly established media company, he doesn't need so much for the time being. He also has to invest funds elsewhere, such as absorbing millions of shares in Microsoft and Cisco.
originally wanted to hold more shares. Although the stocks of these two companies are not as priced as Chinese cabbage as they were just listed, the IT industry’s development frenzy has not yet come, and it is still very cheap compared to those large companies. . The problem is that companies with a market value of only a few tens of millions are already very good. But it doesn't matter. Don't look at the fact that there are only 5 million at present, as long as there is no accident, it will be hundreds of times after 8 years.
Well, the topic comes back to Dennis, because the brokerage company has not been able to operate smoothly for a while, so Adrian simply let him rest for the first half of the year, and since May last year, the other party has been working with him. The movie should really relax. Not to mention, the next few films of Adrian do not need his participation.
Frankly speaking, Adrian would like to arrange a role for him, and even want him to continue to play the leading role in the next movie. If he can perform acting at a super level, a little operation will definitely make the initial established reputation even higher, thus becoming a first-line actor. It's just that this movie is related to the development of the Adrian plan, and no possible mistakes are allowed. Although Dennis has been consistently praised for his performance in "Memento", but because he is too young and some critics have been criticized, so Adrian After thinking about it, I had to enable the "original class".
It doesn’t matter, anyway, some movies let him participate~IndoMTL.com~ It’s enough to pick a few better ones. Then, this time is a small test for him. Adrian, leaning on a high chair in the office and looking at the ceiling, thought so. Unconsciously, his mouth curled up, because of the critic's sake he thought of Cate in London. Compared with the European critics at the Berlin Film Festival, some film critics in the United States are slightly more mean to her. Words such as "just like wood" are already quite good. Only the 17-year-old Cate will inevitably be unhappy fun.
"Hi, my dear, did you just get up?" Adrian dialing the phone looked at the time on the wall.
"Hey, Ed, how are you? Call me at this time." The soft voice of yawning came from the phone. Adrian could completely draw out Cate in his mind, holding the quilt and wearing only underpants. Lazy crawling on the bed.
"Because I miss you now." Adrian said with a smile, "Did you make you sleep?"
"Of course not," Cate giggled and followed with a sigh: "It would be nice if you could appear in front of you now."
probably sensed the low tone in her tone, and she immediately changed the subject: "Yes, I met a very interesting thing in school a few days ago..."
The two were chatting like this, as if they had an endless topic. It took a long time to hang up the phone. Next, Adrian sat on the chair and put his hands together to think for a few seconds, with a smile in the corner of his mouth.
Anyway...I have been taking a break recently, so...he pressed a button on the desk phone: "Ms. Jennyson, please book a flight to London for me, the sooner the better, thank you! "
