King of Hollywood Chapter 71: Stalemate

Chapter 71 The Deadlock

However, no one waited for Adrian to make arrangements. 【Ye*zi】【Yu*you】

"A funny and even funny movie, the life of the male and female protagonist drama xìng is full of satire, exaggerated taste of stage play, almost every line is worth recalling, if you add more nagging Narrator, there is Woody Allen's style." A film critic of the Los Angeles Times wrote after watching the movie.

There are several articles called Huo, but this is the first one to say so, and it was immediately approved by more people, comparing them with other works by Woody Allen. Although these film critics sometimes have different opinions, they still have professional qualities. With this statement, "Small Time Crooks" has received more attention, and even Woody Allen in New York has been asked by reporters about his views on the film.

"A very interesting idea." The old man who was bī but said vaguely.

Adrian will of course not let it go when he learns it, and people have grasped the hype of this sentence without revealing it, and the word-of-mouth suddenly went up again. It's just that the box office is still not very satisfactory. Woody? Allen's works have always been niche. He belongs to the kind of self-talking film. "Small Time Crooks" is his most low-end work, even if it was modified at the time of production. In part, there is also an improvement in entertainment, but as with "Going With You" is inherently inadequate, so Zhou Wan's box office is normal.

It doesn’t matter, anyway, this movie has to be a word of mouth. Since there are a lot of well-received voices at present, you don’t need to worry about anything else. The investment is only about 10,000. The cost should be guaranteed at the box office anyway.

The other two movies can’t be like this. They are both invested close to 100 million and they have a mission to appease Miramax and New Line. Of course, if the box office of these two movies is not good, then It must have been people's collective head water.

It's really interesting to say, whether it is "Independence Day" or "Dragon Island", the initial budget is almost the same, but until now, "Dragon Island" is smaller than "Independence Day". Less expenditure. This is of course not Michael Bay’s sudden change, and he definitely no longer shoots so many explosions, nor is it because of the control of Brookheimer and Simpson. The key is that “Dragon Island” has the support of the Pentagon and “Independence Day” No.

These two selections are American-style main melody movies. The main theme of "Independence Day" may be much more than "Dragon Island". Not only did Betrayal Brigadier General, but also national defense The Ministry’s reselling of arms on the black market was finally mixed in to rescue the hostages. The SEAL was also annihilated by the whole army. It looks like it is discrediting the US team. In Independence Day, not only the United States led the world to defeat the aliens. People, the president even piloted the plane in person. The speech on Independence Day was also very encouraging, but the former was supported by the Pentagon.

In fact, the reason is very simple. When the "Independence Day" crew sought the support of the Pentagon, after reading the script, the military thought that it was not appropriate to let an old drunk man fly the plane into the alien spaceship. hero. Neither Emeryridge nor the producers of the new line can accept it. If this is done, all the previous preparations will be in vain, but the Pentagon insists on the amendment. The two parties can’t talk about each other, so naturally there is no possibility of cooperation.

While there is a lot of content that smears the military on the side of "Dragon Island", but the seal when the SEAL was surrounded was very appetizing to them, and General Hanmer finally said that the missile was shot. Haili did not die in a conflict with his men. More importantly, Michael Bay's opinion on the Pentagon not only fully accepted, but also persuaded Brookheimer who was dissatisfied with some details. In this way, the military naturally supported it.

So the final result is that the "Independence Day" crew spent a lot of money on the rental of aircraft and firearms and other props, and on the "Dragon Island" side, the military provided the SEAL team A full set of equipment, and also used a plane to fly over from Devil Island for shooting, not only all free of charge but also sponsored tens of thousands of crew, although the amount is small, but enough to explain the Pentagon's attitude.

"Maybe Michael Bay's good relationship with the military started here?" After understanding the process in detail, Adrian said with a smile.

Okay, this is just a little cha song. If you can’t sell a block, even if you save nearly tens of millions of dollars, you will still be in a mess. Both of these movies are big productions. But as I said before, if neither of these two movies can sell, then it must be a problem in this world, especially after he saw some of the original clips.

In addition to the two films and Adrian, the film is currently busy with "Brave Heart" and "Emma". Although there are many other productions, they don't need to pay too much attention for the time being. Oh, yes, there is still a movie or script to start preparations, that is, after the Natalie family was invited to watch "With You Goofy" a few weeks ago, Lily asked the girl if she was interested in the script of the character. .

"Love Youwu", this is the name of the script, of course, as always, use the things that belong to the other party to buy human relations. It’s not that Adrian doesn’t have any other better scripts — at least, “Going With You” is irrelevant to Natalie and is very good. Nor is it that he doesn’t want to give the girl a more capable role, if from Natalie’s perspective According to analysis, it is enough to have an impressive character like "This Killer is not too cold".

Don’t look at Kirsten’s best supporting actress now. If there is no Adrian, what will happen in the future? It’s hard to tell how she won the awards in her memory. She has experienced a lot of ups and downs, not to mention now. As far as Tong Xing is concerned, the more classic roles he performs as a child, the smaller the room for ascent in the future, and the harder it is to break through and be recognized. This is one of the reasons for the child star curse, and one of the reasons why Adrian strives for the best supporting actress for Kirsten, so that this precocious girl can be held in the hand.

But Natalie can’t do that. She’s smart and self-made. Adrian doesn’t want to use this method, so what she needs is the kind, which has a good reputation at the box office but can achieve good results. The film is simply the highlight of the film but not particularly prominent. This is true for "Half You Go High", as is "Love Stuff".

The quality of this movie can only be regarded as a medium level. Although the plot has some merits, it is also general in many places. Simply put, several characters have been confused about life and love, and then experienced a The series wakes up after getting something. Natalie played one of the supporting actress's sisters, sly, scheming, and unpredictable. After the sister and one of the male protagonists dated, they tried their best to break them up and indirectly let the male protagonist understand . WWw.YZUU point m

There are too many movies in this way. Under normal circumstances, they will neither sell nor lose money. Since there is such a ready-made thing, why should Adrian go to the memory to find it? It takes a lot of time.

"Why is there no search engine in the memory?" Adrian has sighed more than once. Although it can be remembered as long as it is read, it is quite troublesome to find things that are too cold.

Of course, his sigh is just a prison. It is quite good to have such a perverted memory. Why should he demand so much? Anyway, it takes a long enough time to always find what you are looking for. People must be content,

And now there is not much effort to find slowly, there is more than one thing to deal with.

The tbs aspect is still going smoothly. The ratings of "Millionaire" have reached a new height. Adrian has repeatedly emphasized that you need to master the rhythm, don’t kill the eggs and feel that the ratings are high, just schedule it with a brain, otherwise The audience will quickly get bored. Many media feel that it is a pity that if this program is put on the TV station, the ratings will be much higher. American audiences like this reality show that anyone can participate in and can get rich overnight.

As for the two main TV series, the ratings of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" are currently stable at about five or six million people, which seems to be a medium level, but in fact, as expected by Adrian, it is very popular among young people.

Throughout the 80s and 90s TV series in the United States, most of the highest ratings are family comedies, such as "Growth Troubles" or "Friends", etc., so how much is in the blue net idol drama market Some are missing, and the appearance of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" just fills this vacancy, and it is normal for young people to pursue it.

The same is true of "Yù Wangdu". If "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" is an idol drama for young people, then "Yù Wangdu" is an idol drama of middle-aged female xìng. With the intervention of Adrian, this TV series has captured the appetite of housewives from the beginning, talking about men in fashion, fashion and unbridled, these are their favorite.

Even so, the ratings of "Yù Wangdu" still fluctuate greatly. After all, tnt is making TV shows by himself, there are still many deficiencies in experience, plus the influence of time period, the data is Some go up and down. However, the number of viewers who are subscribing is still steadily rising. After the initial period of discomfort, Cindy Crawford, although there is not much increase in acting skills, it is more and more matched with this TV series. Information, the audience also quite recognized her beautiful fashion heroine, the original big price without white flowers.

As long as you continue to maintain this momentum, I believe that tnt will adjust quickly, and even if you can’t compare it, you can still fight in court. Besides, there is still Adrian.

However, although tbs's momentum is very good, there is an undercurrent inevitably surging inside.

"Anyway, you recommended the acquisition, so you are fully responsible for the current situation." Under the bright sun, Adrian looked at the distance and said to Claude.

"Hey, although I proposed it, I can’t do it without your approval, isn’t it?" Claude in casual clothes sitting next to him immediately retorted, "You can’t blame me for all Body."

"Why can't I? I came to play golf with you." Adrian said, swinging so hard that the white ball flew high and then fell down, accurately... landed in the lake.

"Hah, it's bad enough." Claude whistled, then patted his hands twice.

The corner of Adrian's mouth is u, and then turned his head to look at him: "I originally wanted to say that I may be responsible for 30% of the responsibility, but now it seems that it is no longer necessary."

"God, what am I going to do?" Claude raised his hands exaggeratedly, "Do I ask for your forgiveness, Ed?"

"No, as long as you smooth out those guys, I will forgive you." Adrian shrugged.

The two immediately laughed together, and Claude got up and patted his shoulder: "Don’t worry, they can’t lift how much wind 1ang. The current stalemate in this acquisition makes them think they have an opportunity, so they can’t Enter deep thinking."

"I know, I just don't understand, since you have said that you are deadlocked, why did you devote your energy to the international financial market to go around," Adrian looked at him, "If you use this energy in Competing with Disney or Eisner may have broken this deadlock and even won."

"You think things are too simple," Crowder turned the golf ball from the caddie and put it on the grass. "The current stalemate is not to say that breaking can be broken, and Eisner I'm happy to comment on such a stalemate, so that the advantage will lean towards them a little bit. Before there is no better way, it is normal for me to use my extra energy in other areas, isn't it? You know, international financial markets have never There is no benefit to the United States as it is now, there are opportunities everywhere, and... I just mentioned you on the phone before, and then Mr. Regget came to visit."

"Since there are so many opportunities, how can I let go, and you are a genius in this respect, of course I want Uncle Regatt to find you." Adrian shrugged, as if he did not hear what he said Teasing, "Well, anyway, there must be a solution to the current dilemma. We have been passive, let's look at the tone of those people."

In the acquisition battle, Disney and the media have been stalemate. Eisner is indeed a powerful person. Once he seizes the advantage, he has to maintain it extremely. He knows where Disney’s advantage is, so he is always step by step. With patience, it is difficult for Claude to achieve a victory from the front to reverse the situation.

In the beginning, economic critics who analyzed the pros and cons of both sides are still optimistic about the media, but after the news of the meeting between Eisner and two weighty directors at the lunch meeting, the trend of public opinion There are signs of one-sided.

"Obviously, the winning scale is tilting towards Disney, and the media has no strong countermeasures. After all, they are still too young, so it is difficult for emerging companies to successfully challenge a long-established large enterprise. To be honest, they It has been a miracle to successfully acquire tbs, but now it has begun to compete for a larger broadcaster without fully digesting it. Even if there is a miracle that beats Disney’s successful acquisition again, it may not be able to operate well. Get up." This is the latest issue of Fortune's analysis of this acquisition.

The articles in other newspapers and magazines in finance and economics are similar to this. Simply put, the media is too young. Although the strength is not bad, as an emerging company, the experience is seriously insufficient, even if it is acquired, it may not be possible. Operation, so losing to Disney is a matter of time.

Dissonant voices are unavoidable inside tbs. Some financial programs also said they were not optimistic about this acquisition. Critics are right about this. The media has not completely digested tbs, but ......

"This was originally one of our plans," Claude said disdainfully, "wait for them to drill out and then..."

He squeezed his fists in the air and made a sweeping gesture: "Without complete preparation, how could I make a hasty purchase? Do they really think we are so blinded by our youth?"

"How about Ted?" Adrian immediately asked, this kind of thing is normal, the struggle for power is everywhere, but these guys obviously have no brains, don't look at the company's composition, or simply simply Not convinced?

"He is naturally happy to be a spectator, and this is also an old fox." Claude shrugged.

"Okay, I think he will be surprised." Adrian smiled, no matter whether it can be successfully acquired, they have enough strength to clean up these guys who do small moves, but the disease of ringworm and scabies is so, so the most The important thing is...

Pap! With a soft sound, the little white ball made a perfect arc in the air and jumped a few times towards the flagpole.

"So I'm waiting for an opportunity that you promised." Claude looked back for a long time.

"Hah, I don’t know that you take this matter so seriously. At the beginning, you were not sure about it." Adrian smiled suddenly~IndoMTL.com~ Sometimes this seemingly useless method , But will play a good effect. "Claude smiled," I have contacted. "

"So fast," Adrian raised an eyebrow. "Well, they won't wait too long. They are currently in contact, and they won't be beyond the end of this month, so you can prepare now."

"Very well, I look forward to seeing Eisner's face." Claude laughed and turned to walk towards the ball.

"Wait, Crow," Adrian took a few steps behind him, "Don't tell you, you put all your hopes on it, and you don't have any backup plans."

"What if I say no?" Claude turned his head and asked, making the joke obvious.

"Then I will immediately let someone grab you, and then check it out carefully to see who is posing as my buddy." Adrian said seriously, after Claude laughed out loud, Then he looked at him with interrogative eyes.
