"How much longer?" Adrian looked at the time and said impatiently, "haven't they changed their mind again?"
Of course, he tried to suppress his voice. After all, this is a public place. Although the ABC people have not yet arrived, there are others.
"Don't worry, it's not time yet," Claude said with a smile. "We're a little early. There are many acquisitions that have been overturned at the last minute, but it's not us."
After a pause here, he was curious again. To tell the truth, you didn't have such impatience at the signing ceremony for the acquisition of TB last time - you felt like you were in a dream? "
"A little bit, but more still want to determine as soon as possible and the future development possibility," Adrian also did not conceal. "You know, we can win TB of luck, Ted Turner and Warner have a good relationship, if not for the early start and the means are enough hidden, if Warner stretched out the olive branch, he would definitely choose Hua Not us. ABC needless to say, although I didn't play a very important role in the competition with Disney in the past year, I also knew the hardships. So only when they signed their own name under the agreement could I relax half of it. "
"You look too much at yourself, ED," Claude laughed. "Not to say how much chance your Pixar Animation won us, Ted agreed to our terms because of your charm. I still remember your arrogance when you said, "I will not and will not be able to do so now". Your achievements are also one of the reasons why we can succeed. "
He was about to ask Adrian why he was half relaxed after signing. Finally the ABC man came. The signing ceremony was not long. We exchanged greetings with each other for a few words. Then, under the gaze of the lawyer and many eyes, he signed his name on the prepared copy, and then changed his signature again. Then the whole purchase case can basically be concluded.
"Congratulations, it's time for you to be young." The 64 year old chairman of ABC, bergnan Keynes, shook Adrian's hand in applause and said so after shaking hands with Adrian. He then took a sip of champagne from the receiver and left the scene without looking back. He did not even attend the press conference.
It seems a bit impolite, but Adrian can understand his mood, whether from the perspective of power or from the perspective of emotion, which is a very difficult fact to accept.
"Bergnan's not going to the press conference?" Claude exchanged greetings with several people and came over with the champagne at the back.
"I'm not going to take part either." Adrian shrugged. "You're in charge of these things. I'm just here to sign."
He noticed the young man around Claude and reached out his hand unexpectedly: "you're here, Benjamin. I'm so sorry I didn't notice you."
"Nothing," said Benjamin, about twenty-seven or eight, shaking his hand with a modest smile. "I'm standing in the middle of the crowd. You don't see that I'm normal, Adrian."
Very talkative, isn't it? In addition, he looks very polite, and I believe he will be very happy to get along with him.
"Don't try to explain him, Benjamin," said Claude. "Ed was so full of other things that even if you and Walter stood in front of him, he wouldn't see it."
"Is Ryan here?" Adrian raised his eyebrows and looked for him in the crowd. Claude made a gesture of "I said it" to Benjamin, and Benjamin gave a low smile.
Adrian soon found the figure he was looking for in the crowd. He was almost 30 years old and was talking with several people in Ji'an, with a gentle, modest and reserved smile like Benjamin. It is also true that although there are many dandies in the big family, there are quite a lot of them who have the ability to understand the eyes and the current affairs. The real dandies are either released or treated coldly, and they are almost impossible to be entrusted with heavy responsibilities.
After the acquisition, the board of directors of AC media will have three more positions on the original basis. It is needless to say that the representative of ABC is similar to that of Ted Turner, let alone that of Viacom, so we need not pay much attention to it. What really matters is Benjamin miles on the godfather's side and Walter Kahn on the uncle's side. This is an unavoidable result. If you want to raise funds, you must let some people reach in. Moreover, the origins of these two young people are not the same. Cousin Benjamin's father is the speaker of the State House of California, while Walter's uncle is the house of Congress, and his elder brother, 10 years older, is a senior executive of Gaosheng.
So although it seems that they are just representatives and have little voice, it is hard to say if AC media is not well managed and needs more funds. This process is irreversible. In the United States, any company that wants to grow strong must do so. This is the rule. People who are not willing to share will be kicked out. This seems unfair. Consortia do nothing but provide part of the funds to get a seat on the board of directors, and are ready to take over and merge when something goes wrong. But the world is not fair, isn't it?Besides, it's not without benefits. Benjamin and Walter's contacts are all there. They can get more help in many things. In fact, the godfather and uncle recommended them after Jing carefully selected them. What's more, it will be more smooth to integrate into the big network compiled by the super rich in the United States. These super rich and consortia are just like you and I have you through all kinds of equity swap. Therefore, no matter who you are, you have to weigh it.
Well, let's not say that. Adrian didn't attend the press conference, but didn't leave. Instead, he went with Claude after the news conference. They still have a lot to talk about.
"I'm ready, a TV show, a reality show." In the caravan, Adrian said to Claude.
"So fast?" Claude raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"I've been thinking about it ever since you said you wanted to buy ABC." Adrian laughed. "According to the actual situation of ABC and the analysis of the TV drama market since the 1980s, the family comedy suitable for all ages is the most suitable at present. There are few lines and scenes in this TV series, which can be said to be tailored for ABC."
What he prepared is CB's comedy "everybody loves red" which should have been broadcast next year. This TV series is also one of the few TV series that has produced ten seasons of longevity. Although the standard of friends is not as good as that of friends in terms of lines and scenes, and the audience rating is not as high as that of friends, but the popularity of TV plays can be seen from the production of ten seasons The quality of the body is also unquestionable.
As Adrian said, as early as when Claude announced that he wanted to buy ABC, he began to think about what kind of programs he would use to improve the ratings. After thinking about it, it would be more appropriate for Claude to think about it. ABC, after all, is a wireless TV station, facing more and more audiences than TB. Therefore, the scale of TV plays must not be too large. Ten years later, it will be ten years later. Now, the popular family comedy from the growing pains in the 1980s is popular. Friends also belongs to this type, so everyone loves red can't be more appropriate.
As for some things, there's no need to worry about it. When he didn't have any fame, he could use the writers' Union to seize it, not to mention all kinds of resources now. Similar to friends, first collect information to make sure that no one has a similar idea, and then ask people to write a general script to publicize it. After everyone knows it, they announce that it will not be sold or produced for the time being. In this way, the possibility of other people's writing and production is eliminated. I have to say, it's a very high risk.
Although friends and Buffy the vampire hunter have accumulated a lot of experience for the TV Department, some things are not made in one go. What's more, the focus of the company is still on the movies, and there are inevitably some deficiencies in resource allocation. Therefore, these two films are enough. Let's say
"Made for Warner?" Claude picked his eyebrows and immediately understood Adrian's meaning. "Good idea. I can't work with Disney for a while. Why don't you try to woo other people, right? The relationship between globegroup and us is the best without too many conflicts of interest, followed by Pera, which is also a subsidiary of Viacom. Fox and Colombia are now turning to competitors, so Warner is the best target. "
Here he sighed leisurely: "sure enough, as long as you talk about entertainment production, your ideas are always endless."
"I have a lot of ideas in other areas, too." Adrian said immediately.
"All right, all right, lots of ideas," Claude laughed, then Mo chin. "As for the survivor
"One or two words about this reality show are not clear. It may be very popular or it may fail. It depends on the level of the producers." Adrian said with a sigh, originally "millionaire" is the most suitable, but has been early Ji "to TB, want to find a suitable ABC reality show is really not easy.
"American Idol" is good, but it needs the development of the Internet to a certain extent in order to exert its greatest influence. Now it will certainly be popular. There will be no lack of people eager to become famous overnight. However, the achievements made under the current network situation may shrink a lot, which is undoubtedly killing Ji and taking eggs. It's the same with several other reality shows that come to mind, and only "Survivor" is more appropriate.
In short, the selling point of this program is novelty hunting. Several people go to the desert island or forest for various adventures, and then eliminate one team member according to different situations every day. Finally, the survivors are the winners. In the middle of the show, many strange things can be seen. In the same way, anyone can sign up for participation, so the ratings are very good. It's just that if you want to make it, it depends on the level of the producers. Other programs, such as American Idol or the previous millionaire, have paid more attention to previous lives, and Adrian knows more about it. Therefore, we can give some pertinent opinions from time to time. However, survivor only learned about it when collecting information, plus the program itself There are also some defects in some parts. If they are not handled properly, they may fail."Well, in a few days I'll ask Charlie to consolidate the information and send it to you by fax or email." Adrian said this, then thought of something and said, "by the way, don't forget..."
"Surprise, I know you've said it countless times." Claude sighed, as if helpless at his behavior.
"Don't blame me, crow. This is the best chance to start - though I've said it many times - don't miss it." Adrian shrugged.
"I know, but according to the analysis, they are not at their lowest point yet. It's better to observe them for a few more months. It happens that I can integrate them in time." Claude said, "and after the acquisition of ABC, capital began to be in short supply. If you want to buy it, I'm afraid The copyright of those comics is really worth your effort? "
"You should know that during the summer vacation, there was a movie adapted from comics and it got quite good results." Adrian warned.
"Yes, Batman Forever," starring Fang Kimer, Kim Carrey and Nicole Kidman, I know. " Claude nodded.
"Well, how much profit did Superman series and Batman Series make for them after Warner acquired DC?" Adrian's hands spread out. "Besides, how many superheroes are there on the screen?"
He made a gesture and accentuated his tone: "with the development of technology, when computer CG technology becomes more and more real and cheaper, it will replace hand-made special effects to produce pictures that could not be made before. At that time, more and more super heroes in comics will land on the big screen. Now, Superman series has declined and Batman Series will arrive After reaching the peak and showing a decline, which cartoon company's superheroes will occupy the audience's attention in the future
"Your eloquence will always be so good, ED, not to mention your keen eyes," Claude laughed. "Well, I'll pay attention, I promise."
"Well, I'm waiting for your good news." Adrian said no more, and then he gave a sinister smile: "well, I have a proposal. Maybe you will be interested."
"Oh?" Claude, who noticed the change of his God è, raised his eyebrows.
"Do you know Victoria's secret, crow?" Adrian's smile grew stronger.
"Well Seems like an underwear company? " Claude said uncertainly.
"Yes, and they have a lot of share in the underwear market, but that's not important. The important thing is that they have exclusive underwear models. They are very beautiful young NV children. They are quite good. They occasionally hold underwear model shows. Now they are going to fix it," Adrian said playfully. "So you can talk to them and let ABC get exclusive broadcasting rights, you know People like to watch this
The astonished God è flashed away from Claude's face, and then he said with a smile: "you guy..."
"I'm serious. Think about it." Adrian shrugged. He thought about this when analyzing a reality show. Victoria's secret underwear show and the angel of Victoria will be famous in the future, and the broadcasting rights seem to be ABC's. Now that I've got ABC, it's no big deal to get the underwear show broadcast right. Besides, there are some good quality virgins among those angels. Isn't Claude very fond of modeling?
But this kind of thing will still be discussed later. Today, enough has been said, so Adrian pressed the car phone: "find a place to stop and inform the car that is following me."
"Don't give me a ride. I'll go back in my own car." He then said to Claude.
Claude nodded. After the RV stopped on the street, Adrian was ready to get out of the car and then said, "take me to say hello to Kate and Lily. Besides, what's it like to be a father?"
"Well..." Adrian, who opened the car, pauses, then Lu gives a wry smile, "it's pain and happiness."
It is true that pain and happiness, so-called human rights, although often just a pretext and excuse, but in the baby is displayed incisively and vividly. I sleep most of the day. I wake up and cry. I cry when I'm hungry, when I defecate, when I'm not happy, when I don't do anything, I have to cry, regardless of time and place. She often sleeps soundly in the middle of the night and wakes up by the crying of I ǎ guy, and has to get up to coax her. Even if there is a nanny, Adrian gets up several times in the middle of the night. Can't Kate deal with it alone? All in all, it was a lot of service.
The most intolerable thing is that when they are in the mood, they hear the cry of I ǎ guy. You should know that the first three months and the next three months can't have behavior. The former is prone to miscarriage while the latter is prone to premature delivery. So after three months of banning Yu, Kate will inevitably be very excited, but she will be excited again. Once she encounters this situation, she will immediately cool down. She can't tell her father and mother have important things to do, so please cry later?
However, I ǎǎǎǎǎǎǎǎǎǎǎǎǎǎǎǎǎǎǎǎǎǎǎǎǎǎǎ. Cheeky, mouth often spit bubbles, occasionally laugh up special cute.Therefore, no matter how dissatisfied she is with the situation that she does not care about others at all, no matter when she wants to "lose her temper" at any time and place, once she is held in her arms, she will still produce worthwhile ideas.
"Who makes you my NV?" Adrian always said this when coaxing the I ǎ guy in his arms in the middle of the night, and his eyes were always full of love and pity, and his father's love for NV children.
