Chapter 46 AT※TBr
Fortunately, I casually asked a question in the coffee shop, otherwise it will definitely be a lot less fun now, this guy Dennis can always surprise him. {彩文网m}M's tumultuous love affair at the beginning made Adrian watch the big drama for a long time. As for the absurdity of the engagement night, although only Adrian knew, it was enough to make him laugh.
However, although there are still many things that are unclear, such as why Winona became gay, why Aniston went to bed with Winona, and how did Courtney tell Dennis, Adrian does not I plan to do too much inquiries. This is his family affair anyway, um... that was just some suggestions from the perspective of friends, haha.
By the way, maybe some reporters can also pay attention to it, maybe they can dig up some eye-catching news, I believe Dennis should be able to balance the two women, and then have fun to watch.
Although Adrian is so calculated, what happened next is beyond his expectations. Dennis didn't do what he said, but after calming down, he had a good chat with Winona and Aniston, and... Winona actually announced that she really fell in love with Aniston
"She said that she wanted to compete fairly with me, and she continued to persuade Jane... to elope with her..." Dennis told Adrian in this way, the expression on the corner of her mouth was very wonderful.
Adrian is better than him, but can’t help covering her hands. Winona said she really fell in love with Aniston, and persuaded her to elope with herself? Who has she crossed? It's a pity that without more information, Dennis didn't even say Aniston's reaction, so he couldn't infer what Verona was thinking, and besides, she had decided not to interfere in their housework.
"In short, my opinion remains the same, solve them on the bed." Adrian said leisurely regardless of Dennis's eyes.
Okay, that’s it, let them toss about it, as long as they watch a good show, as far as the media is concerned... A few days later, the San Francisco Chronicle hit "Renew love with old love, Dennis and A title like "The Red Light of Jennifer's Marriage" is accompanied by a photo of Winona from Dennis's house.
Suddenly, entertainment reporters such as the smell of **** sharks were stuck outside the Dennis family and the "Friends" studio, and many people turned out the episode of kissing Aniston and Winona. Want to prove that since then Winona has already started secret music with Dennis. Dennis had to come out with Aniston to refute rumors, claiming that Winona and Aniston had become friends, and came to his house only to visit friends. Interestingly, Winona did not deny when she was facing the reporter, and did not say that she became gay. Now that she is pursuing Aniston and the like, it is clear that at least part of the Adrian guess is correct. .
Despite coping with the reporter, Dennis has always been in a state of retreat, and his relationship with his wife has become erratic. I believe this will be a long time-consuming drama, so Adrian is not in a hurry, and slowly waits to see Well developed.
By the end of July, Adrian went to Australia. In addition to the new secretary assistant, there were also new directors of the planning department and some senior executives, so this time it was not a vacation. Quite simply, with the popularity of the "Supermodel Contest", various countries and regions have successively sold their copyrights. If you want to create a local "Supermodel Contest", Australia is no exception.
Since the Australian television station has purchased the copyright, it is natural to send someone to guide, and Charliez has not taken over the planning department for a long time. Although there is an "American Idol" in preparation, it follows to broaden the horizon-secretary assistant and department Supervisors are two different positions after all-it is not a bad thing to earn a little more.
As for why Adrian is coming, on the one hand, it is a woman who supports herself, on the other hand, it is also a warm invitation from Australia. After all, the prototype of this show was first proposed by him, and was also the spokesperson of the Hollywood Australia Gang. The TV station here naturally wants to have a good relationship with him.
The entire itinerary is basically lackluster. When Adrian arrived in Australia, the Australian version of the "Supermodel Competition" sea election was over. All he had to do every day was invite for various receptions and occasionally attend the second selection. It is much stricter than the sea election. Only those who can pass will have the chance to be on TV, and then they will stand the test after being tested by various audience news.
"It seems that you seem to have no interest in these girls?" Before the next player entered the venue, Charlize took the time to playfully whisper in Adrian's ears, "There are a lot of appearances, and in private,'encounter 'Over you.'
"Why, in your eyes, am I a man who just wants to see a woman?" Adrian spread his hands.
"Isn't it?" Charlie's rhetorical question, of course, had expected that Adrian, who would speak like this, rolled her eyes and continued to think about her own affairs.
It’s not a big deal, it’s something on the movie, for example, someone wants to put the preparations for "The Expendables2" on the agenda. Because the performance of the first part is very good, the plot is old-fashioned, but the cooperation of the three giants has won the applause of many fans. The ubiquitous spitting joke and action drama are also perfectly combined, so the production of the second part is also nothing. Doubtful things.
It's just that Schwarzenegger, Willis and Siegel only signed the first contract, and retired at the end of the first part. This is a bit of a trouble, just retired in the film. It’s better to say that you can get it back for any reason, but it’s not easy for them to sign the second film contract. As an action star, don’t mention Siegel, Shi Wasinger E Willis hasn't reached the point where the mountains are thin, Schwarzenegger will not mention it, it is estimated that he has aimed at the throne of the governor, and Willis is currently successfully transformed. He will sign the film last time. In the face of Adrian, the second is to really want to collaborate with and compete with action stars who are famous.
So if you want them to play the second part together again, the possibility is not very high, and several other actors, Jeter? Li, Jushi Johnson and Fan? Diesel and others are still new, Shange? Yunton, Doffer? Longer has now been reduced to second-rate, so it is not possible to rely on Stallone and Renault alone. The second part must add some attention if it is to be successful. Of course, Adrian thought about this problem after the first release. The following people also sorted out corresponding strategies based on his opinions. You can join new and popular but not so expensive players.
Like Nicholas? Cage, or John? Travolta, as I said, wanted to make this series a well-known action movie series. Adrian is now thinking about whether to get Dennis in. During this time, I read more about him, Aniston and Winona, and naturally thought of him, although he has appeared in many types of movie genres in recent years. , But it was an action star.
How about letting him star in Life and Death Sniper? Suddenly this thought came out of Adrian's head. First of all, "The Expendables" is just missing a sniper; secondly, the novel has been published in 1993, and such a movie will be popular in most cases as long as it is done; again, Dennis also fits this image very well, Not particularly strong, but has a skill.
Finally, and the most important point, the ending can be modified. The protagonist fled after his personal revenge. In the egg with the end of the subtitles, Stallone can appear in the bar to find the protagonist, and coolly said to him: "I heard you It’s the best, I have a guy, would you like to try it?".
Yes, just like the surprise in the previous life for the Avengers, this is definitely a gimmick and can attract a lot of attention. However, this may affect the preparation of "The Expendables2", but there is no need to worry, since it is going to be a long-term series, then it must inevitably take a long-term view, and do not care about the immediate benefits. I believe even because of this movie Stallone, who once again returned to the mainstream and is most eager to make a sequel, will understand.
Besides, it is also possible to let Dark Horse Comics make related comics first to build momentum for the movie. Although they are generally surprising and incomparable, it is a good show to adapt the movie into a comic. "Planet "War", "Terminator", "Alien", "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and other works have proved this point, "The Expendables" is naturally no exception, not only meets the requirements of Adrian, but even better, so the acquisition of them is indeed Is a good idea.
If you want to get more eye-catching, you might as well add a female player. Aniston has been working **** action movies because of her advice. It is a good candidate. Of course, you can also let Winona come. Try it, you can practice if you don't have the basics, it will definitely be fun. If authorized to let Dark Horse Comics launch a set of "The Expendables" comics in her or her appearance, and still play with Dennis' sniper, it will be even more fun.
Speaking of it, the Dark Horse comics are now in the media, and Claude has offered an exciting price, and there are not many promises, so it is not difficult to acquire. On the other hand, Hasbro is still procrastinating, but it won’t last much time. It’s halfway through 2000. The sales of Star Wars toys haven’t increased significantly. The loss this year is certain, and it only appeared last year. Losses and shareholder dissatisfaction are also certain, as long as the pressure continues to be used as a decoy with the "Harry Potter" series of toy copyrights, it will be sooner or later.
No one can deny or ignore the huge popularity of the "Harry Potter" series until now. As early as 1998, Warner and Disney had been in contact with Rowling, hoping to get the film adaptation rights. Of course, They failed. This series is already in the pocket of Adrian. How could they let them intervene. And when Universal announced that it would put the "Harry Potter" series on the big screen, and after a sea election in the UK, various manufacturers also came to the door, wanting various image authorizations, Sony also hopes to release on PS2 Games of the same name, etc., Mattel and Lego, which is the same name as Hasbro, also hope to get the copyright of toy production.
Hasbro also participated in the competition, and now there is an opportunity to overwhelm two opponents in one fell swoop, which is very tempting for them-although it is impossible to take all the copyright of the toys of the "Harry Potter" series Next, at least Lego's building block toy Hasbro can't do it, but if the media supports it, it's absolutely no problem to divide a big cake.
So, don’t look at how they are still unwilling, just like the actress who auditioned, if you want to get this role, you must try your best to fight for it. For example, take off your clothes and don’t care too much.
Actually, Adrian will turn the idea to this, mainly for the next acquisition. This will be the largest acquisition since the establishment of the media. It is no less important than the original acquisition. If it can be taken into account, then the media's semi-closed industrial chain will be stronger, this company is AT※T
The full name of AT※T is the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. In the old saying of the past, it is American telecommunications. Founded in 1877, the predecessor was Alexander who invented the telephone? Bell’s Bell Telephone Company has long monopolized the long-distance and local telephone markets in the United States. The society’s demand for communications will never decrease, so telephone companies will never have the possibility of losing money.
Adrian certainly didn’t want to swallow the entire AT※T. Let’s not mention whether there was such a huge amount of money. AT※T had been split and reorganized by the government's order as early as 1984. Although they have not been split and reorganized in history, this time it was the most thorough. It was split into several pieces in the past ten years. Although the people behind the scene still control the telephone industry, they have formed on the bright side. Competition.
So, the goal of Adrian is one of several subsidiaries: AT※TBr
This company was spun out in 1995, and after the restructuring in 1999, it mainly operated broadband business-cable TV broadband rather than network broadband-they now have more than 20 million users in 38 states, If they can make their income almost a profitable business, and they can better understand the popularity of the show.
Be aware that with the rapid development of cable TV, although the TV industry is making more money and even surpassing the movie industry, competition will also become fiercer. A few years later, many large-scale TV dramas that require encryption can have one or two hundred Ten thousand subscribers are already pretty good. What's more, most of the ratings of these TV series will not be published, even if they are published, they will be blind to the eyes and ears, so being able to keep abreast of various ratings will enable them to respond faster and better.
Of course, it may be illegal, but no one has used this method?
These are all known through a popular post about American dramas that I have seen in my previous life. Adrian will want to acquire AT ※TBr is also thanks to this post. In fact, he originally wanted to acquire Comcast. Comcast is mainly a broadband network and IP telephone service provider. It was not until the acquisition of AT※TBr in 2002 that Warner became the largest in the United States in the operation of cable TV.
However, there are two problems here. The first is funding. The most suitable acquisition time was before 2000. Both Comcast and AT※TBr started to develop rapidly after the millennium. In 1998, Comcast's market value was only a few billions, and now it has reached tens of billions. Before 00, without using the amount of money earned by the IT bubble, if you want to acquire Comcast, you have to spend a lot of money, then you want to buy AT ※ TBr will be helpless. Especially after the millennium, cable TV has developed extremely fast. Once a few months have passed, maybe it only took billions to acquire, but now it will cost tens of billions.
If it is delayed until the millennium, it is still the situation after earning a lot of money in the IT bubble. Comcast and AT ※TBr choose one of the two. In the final analysis, Adrian does not want to give up control It is the bottom line and the most important way to exercise his predictive ability.
Thinking about it, he finally chose AT※TBr, which is another problem. Comcast is the second largest Internet service provider in the United States, and there are many websites under the media, and there will be more in the future. If it is acquired, I am afraid that it must be targeted by the anti-monopoly part, then it will be very troublesome.
And AT※TBr is relatively much better. With Warner’s precedent, even if it is targeted, it will not be as tight as the acquisition of Comcast. Which of the big groups now has not received antitrust adjustment. Of course, some of these key points must be handled carefully. As long as the acquisition is successful, they will sit on the throne of the first media group in the United States, and other groups will not sit back and watch, even the Viacom of the alliance.
The media does not necessarily have good luck with Microsoft. The bursting of the IT bubble gave the original result a 180-degree turn, and Claude was not too sure for the first time.
"There are about 50 or so, we are likely to fight alone." He said so~IndoMTL.com~ didn't mention anything about financing.
If you can pull more people in, you will get more support on Wall Street, but Adrian will definitely not agree, so Claude also said too much about it, just went all out to fight for it.
He should be preparing now? Adrian said in his heart that it was his greatest luck to have such a dead party. But Claude is too small to look at him. To realize that he has made nearly 30 billion yuan through bubbles and short sales in private, he originally planned to use half of it, but now, what if even all are invested to support Claude? Besides...
"Ini." He suddenly made a gesture to Ivanka, who was not far away, and whispered to her ear when she came over, whispering, "Arrange for me after returning to Los Angeles..."
Ivanka nodded, indicating that he already understood that Adrian is nothing to think about for a while, and then turned back to follow the players. Then he froze, the next player just came in, about seventeen or eight years old, with long brown hair, a face* with a little fat baby, looks quite cute, blue eyes are big, eyebrows Slender, with a dimpled dimple on her face, I believe it will look good when you laugh.
