"What do you think he'll do, crow?" Adrian asked after Turner left.
"It's more likely that we'll make a deal," Claude said after thinking about it. "Although he has some countermeasures, it doesn't work for us. At best, it will cost us more money and time. Ted knows that. Besides, it's not good for everyone to make a killing, so he'll probably agree to us in the end. Of course, what you said also played a great role. It was very powerful and powerful Arrogant. "
"Ted has an indomitable character when he entered military academies. In addition, he is also full of strong contradictory enterprising spirit. Otherwise, he would not have developed TBS to this extent. Therefore, he can more resonate with him to publicize his achievements with a strong attitude." Adrian shrugged his shoulders, "but in my opinion, when you praised CNN and revealed that when you chose TBS with more development prospects instead of ABC, he felt that respect and satisfaction played a greater role. I still remember when we praised CNN's 24-hour continuous news as an amazing setting, and he didn't hide his pride and pride. "
"Of course, it should be his most valuable idea," Claude laughed. "But I insist on my opinion that, after all, there is no evidence to support it. A strong posture can only make people like him feel disgusted. Speaking of this, I have to sigh, but in three years you have achieved this You're right, ed. it's amazing what you say will happen. It's amazing "
" so are you, Claude. Without you, AC media will not develop so fast. We won't discuss acquisition with Ted now, "Adrian raised his hands." don't sigh about this, it's just the beginning. "
After a pause, he added, "by the way, if Ted agrees to our terms, what are you going to do with him?"
"What do you think?" Claude pondered and then asked.
They looked at each other and said in unison, "vice president."
Slightly a Leng, two people and the same smile.
"To keep TBS in our hands, Ted can't continue to be TBS CEO." Claude thought so, but Adrian thought otherwise.
"He's too old," Adrian said. "Although he doesn't admit defeat, he still keeps the spirit of going in, but some ideas are hard to change after a long time of accumulation, and the next few years are the era of constant renovation of ideas"
although their starting points are not the same, but the purpose is the same - to kick Ted Turner out If necessary. This is also normal business behavior.
"Internet tide?" Claude asked, looking at Adrian.
"The Internet wave." Adrian sipped his coffee and nodded.
Claude didn't speak any more. He knew that Adrian had always been full of, say, fanatical confidence in the Internet. He not only kept in touch with Stanford, but also was very interested in several college students who were paying close attention to mechanical and electrical engineering through regert. Adrian didn't hide this from him.
"By the way, crow, I have some suggestions to tell you about the current strong momentum of the film company," Adrian said at this time. "It's OK to talk to Lafayette, but I think that with your support, the effect may be greater."
Claude made a gesture please.
"You didn't elaborate on that a while ago, but I know it's not bad, but it's not much better," Adrian thought. "So I've been thinking about solutions."
Indeed, it's not much better. If we didn't succeed in joining Viacom's board of directors through the acquisition of paramount, because Schindler's list has made several transactions with some Jewish bigwigs, plus his father's support, it's hard to say what situation AC media will face now.
"As I said to Ted before, there are some things I don't understand, so I can only think from my point of view, and the rest is up to you." Adrian said, gesturing, "we're in a situation where momentum is too high, so just bring it down, and my rule of thumb is to release lots of low-cost independent films."
After a pause and a sip of coffee, he continued: "you know, most of the first independent films I made were low-cost independent films, so the film companies have a good reputation in the independent film industry, so we can use this reputation to distribute as many low-cost films as possible. Of course, only a few of them can make money. Most of them can break even, and most of them are losing money. In this way, our upward momentum is contained, at least in terms of data. As for the losses, the costs of these films are relatively small, so as long as they can operate - such as recovering costs through video tapes - the losses will not be too large, they will be completely affordable, and, you know, tax avoidance. "
"And there are two advantages to doing this," Adrian immediately raised his hand and pressed it in the air after seeing what Claude wanted to say. "First of all, we can continue to maintain our reputation in the independent film industry. Although large investment and large production will be the trend, we must not lose small production films. Secondly, there will also be high box office movies in small productions I have proved this in person. In addition, it can enrich the film source library. There is no reason not to do so. ""It's all idealistic, isn't it?" Claude said after thinking about it.
"Of course, but you have to admit that it is a workable method." Adrian shrugged. "Don't forget..."
"Yes, I know. We have to supplement the rest." Claude looked at him angrily and jokingly, "you guy"
"that's settled. If there's nothing else, I'll leave." Adrian said and stood up.
"I'm leaving in a few minutes. Who are you going to date today?" Claude sighed.
"Kate, she doesn't seem to be in a good mood today. She's already coaxed it on the phone before." Adrian replied with a smile, "I'm thinking about traveling with her for a few days."
"You guy..." Claude shook his head, as if he thought his behavior was very bad, but Adrian immediately teased him with a lazy voice: "don't tell me, Claude, you were in the hotel with that German model that day, just chatted all night, or you want to say, you and those models are just ordinary friends?"
"That's not the same. I'm just playing, and now you..." Claude made a gesture and suddenly closed his mouth. Adrian reached out, half joking, half warning, and then walked out laughing.
It's the same as before. It hasn't changed at all. Claude laughed and straightened his clothes before he went out. No, it has changed, and it has changed a lot. After watching Adrian's car leave outside the club, Claude, who got into his car, thought.
Recalling the past three years, even if he was always determined, he could not help feeling a dream.
"I want to control Hollywood," Adrian told him in the first place, when he thought he was just joking. Now they have their own business and take the most solid step towards this goal.
When he said "when pointing to the Internet, or the people who wanted to see the future of their own" or "those who did not want to see the future of their own, when they pointed to the Internet, they still had the scorn to see.
Frankly speaking, for a period of time, he was really unfamiliar with his diehard party. He suddenly woke up and wanted to fully understand. He suddenly wanted to set a grand goal for himself. However, a guy who had never touched a film maker made a movie with low cost and high box office again and again. It was really incredible.
"I never knew that the child would have such a talent. Maybe it's really a gift from God?" Old Ron Reese, half surprised and half curious, said to Claude.
However, this strangeness did not last long. Although Adrian's manners and habits changed a little, he was still the guy that Claude was familiar with, especially when asked why he could make a movie. He replied: "because I'm a genius."
If he was still at Stanford, Claude would have thrown him on the ground. Of course, it was more likely that he had been overturned. Adrian was very good at fighting.
However, the most important reason is not that. The most important reason is that the guy's hobby of hunting has basically not changed, but he went to England and came back with a beautiful girl.
You know, when he was in the fraternity, Adrian was famous for chasing girls. Every fraternity party brought or took away different girls. Although it was normal for Claude and his rich children, such a chaotic and even erosive college life was very normal, it still came out that "some pretty girls in Stanford had sex with Adrian ”Such rumors have spread widely.
This is indeed a rumor. As a diehard, Claude is very clear about his trend. Although Adrian likes to pick up girls, he has not reached that level. However, the reason why the rumors can spread so widely also has a foundation. In a certain NC + League, when Washington University visited Stanford, two teams played fiercely outside, and he and the cheerleader also fought fiercely in the dressing room. As a result, when the cheerleading team needed to perform, he couldn't find the captain for half a day. As a result, we can imagine how bad the midfield performance was. Fortunately, few people know the details. Neither Adrian nor the cheerleader named GIA was punished.
Of course, Claude didn't think so at the beginning, because Adrian had never brought a girl home before, so he just thought he wanted to settle down. But this idea was overthrown immediately after Monica appeared beside Adrian. Claude found that his crony had changed and had not changed.
Adrian not only brought Kate home, but also maintained a relationship with Monica, and occasionally played out for a night - although he would not take the initiative to talk about it, but only Claude asked, he would not hide it. In this case, Adrian still keeps Well The quality of a principled jerk.
"Principled jerk" is not what Claude gave to Adrian, but to the cheerleader with beautiful blonde hair and good figure. If Adrian had not entrusted the president of the society to help with the NC + League, Kia might not have been punished, but"I'm responsible for it, of course." Adrian at that time was not as mature and confident as he is now. His lazy appearance made him look unruly and attractive to young girls, so GIA began to take off her clothes after expressing her thanks.
Interestingly, this comment has been unanimously recognized by the girls who have had a relationship with Adrian, which shows that Adrian's womanhood is quite good.
"If they really want to leave, I won't stop them." That's what he says now.
Hell, why do I remember that? Claude, who was driving, suddenly burst out laughing. Maybe it's because the most important acquisition has finally come to an end. After all, this is an essential part of their blueprint. No matter who knows, it will be a miracle that a completely new media company can be developed to this point in three years.
"I'm proud and proud of you, son, for both of you." My father was very serious when he said that.
If Adrian hadn't encouraged him to start a business together, maybe he was still working in his father's company. Claude sighed in his heart. Since 1990, Adrian has been constantly giving him surprises, and he also wants to know what kind of surprise will come next. Although his confidence in the Internet is not as strong as Adrian, he carefully studied it early after being influenced by Adrian, and he is still optimistic about the future of the network.
"I'm waiting for the advent of the Internet tide and hope it won't disappoint." Claude mumbled, and a slight smile appeared on his face. At this moment, he felt inexplicably confident that we would continue to create miracles. However, in the next second, Claude, who watched the time, shifted his attention to other aspects. The German model named Heidi Klum will probably return to New York tomorrow, and can make an appointment today. As Adrian's best friend, how can he not be interested in women, but unlike Adrian, he has a lot of free time, so most of the time he just plays with models. These women are the easiest to start with.
Compared with Claude, although Adrian is also driving on the road of appointment, what he thinks is the company's business. He found the way to release a large number of low-cost or independent films in his memory for a long time. Lion Gate films have established their foothold in Hollywood and developed with the help of B-level films. If it wasn't for Miramax, who already had a very high reputation in the independent film industry, and Weinstein's deep experience in Hollywood, maybe Lions Gate could still compete with them.
Now, Bosworth is bound to get better results by using this method. Thanks to Adrian's several low-cost independent films, Bosworth has already divided the influence of Miramax in the independent film circle at least half. If Lafayette operates well, it is inevitable that this influence will be further expanded. At the same time, it can also fill in the source library, and the loss can be reduced to the minimum through the release of video tapes. On the surface, it can curb the rising momentum of itself. Why not do something with a few arrows?
As for the negative effects of this move, for example, although Lion Gate occupies a position in the second tier film companies, it has almost become a synonym for B-level films, and there is hardly any large-scale production. Don't forget what Adrian did.
"If I had thought about it earlier, the film company should have grown stronger now?" Adrian shook his head and took out his mobile phone to dial.
At the same time, it still needs time to solve the problem. As for other things, with the arrival of March, there are more and more articles on the prospect of Oscar. Although many people know that Schindler's list has incomparable advantages compared with other films, they still analyze the advantages and disadvantages of other films in order to show fairness.
However, under Schindler's list, the most likely to get the best film is piano lesson. Bosworth, who produced and released these two films, has attracted much attention. Some good people lamented in the article: while other film companies are struggling to canvass for their own films, Bosworth film industry is struggling to canvass for which movie, It's amazing that they were like this last year and this year.
This virtually pushed Bosworth film industry to a higher level, but Adrian is not worried. Anyway, it has reached this point, so why cover up. Besides, the solution has been decided, and it only takes time to implement it - there is no way to achieve immediate results in this regard.
Lafayette has been following Adrian's orders to do PR for Schindler's list, as well as Tom Hanks' best actor. Hanks has an advantage in this Oscar, but he has no absolute advantage. At the same time, the nomination of Liam Neeson, needless to say, is the first time that the Irishman has been nominated for the role of the film produced by Bosworth film industry, which can be basically ignored; while Anthony Hopkins has won the film once, unless it has been too long interval or the performance is impeccable As for Lawrence Fishburn, the skin color has decided it's impossible now, so the biggest opponent is Daniel Day Lewis.This guy has qualifications and acting skills, and "in the name of the father" has also won a lot of praise, which is quite a threat to Hanks.
