"Interview with the vampire at night" meeting is relatively successful, although rice is still worried about cruise's role as Leicester, but did not show. After all, she herself admitted that cruise was appropriate only in terms of appearance.
Jordan would not have any other opinions. In fact, he had long wanted to direct a movie related to vampires. All he worried about was that Adrian would direct his work. However, Adrian knew from the beginning that he would be fully responsible for the directing work, and naturally agreed without hesitation. In addition, the three leading actors are also in line with his heart, and the adaptation of the script is also very much to his taste.
"I like this character more and more now, ed. you're a good producer." Cruise is also in high spirits, which is not surprising. He is the only big name in the whole crew, and the others have shown him due respect.
Brad, by contrast, is much more modest. Although he is a few years older than Adrian, he does not mean the word "thank you" at all. Moreover, he speaks very sincerely. No wonder he will eventually become a superstar as a choreographer. Unfortunately, I met Adrian now, and I'm afraid some things will no longer belong to him.
As for Kirsten, needless to say, everyone likes her. A cute girl is always likable, and a cute girl who is very good at acting is even more likable. But after the meeting, she went back to New York with her mother, and there were a lot of her parts in the "delicious love" crew.
If there was any regret at the meeting, it was that cruise's beautiful wife failed to attend.
After finishing this thing, he left it to the film company, and Adrian immediately put himself into something more important. In fact, if it wasn't for rice and Kirsten to rush back, it would have been the first thing he would have done.
It's not a complicated thing. It's just going out with someone to play ball games, exercise, steam sauna or something, and talk about decision-making.
"The situation is not very good. Lei Shidong is obviously determined to get it. I think he may raise more funds, no less than $11 billion - our company is still a little too young." In the steaming sauna room, Claude picked up the white towel hanging around his neck and wiped his sweaty face. Then he let out a long breath.
Adrian was not so particular. Although he had a white towel around his neck, he wiped it directly on his face with his hand. It was all sweat: "so what are you going to do?"
"If you allow me to spend more money..."
"You know that's impossible, crow. You promised me that it would not affect the acquisition of TBS."
Claude was interrupted by Adrian before he finished, and he was still in a non-negotiable tone. To this end, Claude had to shrug: "OK, I know, it's just a pity, it's a good opportunity"
to buy paramount. This is the plan that Claude mentioned to Adrian at the vanity fair party. He had already done so long before the Oscars Adrian has put forward this idea, and through a large number of data analysis gives a feasible strategy. After Xu TBS's acquisition, he just couldn't think about the impact of his request.
"No problem." Claude replied confidently at the beginning that, according to his analysis, if everything goes well, it will only take us $9 billion at most to win paramount, and then raise another fund through the relationship, which can completely buy TBS.
However, he did not expect that samer Redstone and Barry Diller joined in one after another, showing a strong interest in paramount. These two guys are not fuel-efficient lamps. Diller launched a hostile takeover war for this, while Lei Shidong, facing the threat of divorce, tried his best to dissuade his wife and issued a statement declaring that there was no divorce to ensure the confidence of investors.
In the days when Adrian went to New York to make films, Claude did not fight with them. However, due to the congenital deficiency of AC media and Adrian's "TBS first" principle, it did not occupy too many advantages. If you can't raise the purchase price, you may lose to these two guys.
"Well, crow, don't worry. Believe me, in another six or seven years, we will have better and more appropriate goals. " Adrian said, slapping him on the shoulder and saying in a soothing tone.
He knew that Claude put forward this plan for the development of the company. As long as paramount was successfully acquired, the overseas distribution rights and the right to speak would not be a problem. Their status in Hollywood would rise and AC media would become a front-line media company. It's just that, in Adrian's view, it's not the best opportunity to buy TBS, which is much more important than buying one of the seven big film companies.
Mr. Tuo has seen a lot of acquisitions related to movies in his previous life. He still remembers some well-known cases that several major TV networks were acquired in the middle of 90 years. If you don't start now, it will be very rare to have another chance in the future. As for film companies, there are better choices in the first year of the 21st century, and they will have more money at that time.
Of course, if we can successfully acquire paramount under the condition of "TBS first", many things will be more convenient and easy if there is an old film company under it. So Adrian didn't object at the beginning."Will there be a better goal in six or seven years? Have you begun to prophesy again Claude asked with a smile.
"You can think so." Adrian shrugged.
"Well, well, if you say so, I'll have to hand over what I might have gotten." Claude sighed a long sigh, but everyone could tell that he was joking.
"With your character, you will easily give it to others?" Adrian scoffed.
"Of course not. I'm ready," Claude wiped his face again with a towel.
"I knew it. Tell me." Adrian looked listening.
"Let Diller and Lei Shidong fight for each other. We will watch them. Sooner or later, they will notice the weight of the stocks we hold, and then they will pull us in." Said Claude, gesturing.
Adrian's heart moved slightly: "which side do you think is more appropriate to fall to?"
"Lei Shidong." Claude thought and gave the answer.
"Why?" Adrian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Diller is good, too."
"According to your plans and ideas, there are obviously more benefits to working with Viacom." Claude raised his eyebrows, too.
"Are you going to take this opportunity to hold Viacom?" Adrian looked surprised.
"I want to be on the board if I can." Claude smiles.
"Lestone won't allow anyone to share his rights." Adrian warned.
"It doesn't matter. We won't have a conflict with him, will we?" Claude looked at Adrian. "Anyway, cross shareholding is common. Besides, isn't there a miracle director like you?"
When Adrian settled in, he laughed and said, "OK, I agree."
Viacom's MTV network alone is enough for them to do so. What's more, they can further unite in some aspects. At least for a long time, each other will not be the main competitors.
"It's been a long time. Let's steam it out." Adrian said and stood up.
"By the way, ED," said Claude, who thought of something. "There's a reception at Beverly Hills Hotel tomorrow night, and I think you might as well come and join us."
"Cocktail party? Oh, give me a break, crow Adrian's face suddenly a bitter color, "I didn't miss my uncle's party when I was in New York. Now it's easy to get back to Los Angeles. Let me be quiet."
"No less than uncle's party?" Claude scoffed, his face clearly marked "disbelief.".
"Of course, if you don't believe it, you can call uncle Anderson to verify it." Adrian said without changing his face, and then changed the subject: "by the way, I've heard about the Clinton Administration..."
"Yes, I know that after you called, I have confirmed and sent people in. The Clinton administration obviously intends to make a profit from the Japanese, so we don't have to be too polite." Claude waved his hand, then looked at Adrian and added, "ed, let's deal with it."
Adrian looked back at Claude and sighed after a long time: "you know, crow, when I was directing a new film in New York, I only attended two cocktail parties held by my uncle, but sometimes I prefer not to attend one."
He made a gesture and went on to say, "he's invited almost all the executives on Wall Street, and a couple of city councillors, State Councillors, and a congressman. If Greenspan wasn't in Washington, he would have invited him
"It's a good thing," Claude exclaimed.
"Good for you, of course, but I? You know how embarrassed I am with these guys? I don't know what they're talking about. If it's about movies, or computers or the Internet, I can put in a few words, but finance... " Adrian gestured, "besides giggling or giggling, I often wonder how good you are to be here."
Claude laughed and waved to Adrian, who seemed helpless, angry and angry. Then he asked, "I remember you said before that the godfather and your uncle don't seem to get along very well?"
"Yes, in fact, uncle Anderson always wanted to make up, but he was always embarrassed. As a result There's no more chance - my aunt told me, my uncle didn't say that at all; and then I felt dissatisfied and ashamed that I didn't mention him in my Oscar speech - that's what my aunt told me, and my uncle would never admit it. So I want to express my apology to me and my father in this way
"Ah, it's very awkward."
"Who said it was not? But more importantly, it's also a message to my cousin, uncle's son Victor: if you can do as well as ED, I can do it for you "
