"Well, that's it. Let's end the meeting." With Claude's announcement, the executives at the meeting took a deep breath and quickly got up and walked out.

"They seem scared." After people left, Adrian, who was sitting at the head of the meeting, half joked. He didn't say much during the whole meeting. Except for the necessary topics, Claude was adjusting, arranging and criticizing most of the time. No wonder it always gives people the image that he is being ignored.

"Most of them are just pretending," Claude waved his hand disapprovingly. "I don't put much pressure on them. They just want to make a gesture to show that they are working hard. You have to be able to distinguish who is really doing things."

"it doesn't matter. I don't need to think so much about you here." Adrian spread his hands and looked very proud.

"You guy..." Claude gave him a bad look, but I'm afraid he can't help feeling proud.

"Well, Claude, although there are some small problems, the start is still very good on the whole. Although it is not enough to support you to make drastic adjustment to ABC, it can not wait for long." Adrian said, pointing to his head. "There are a lot of ideas to use here."

"Everybody Loves Raymond" finally started broadcasting in ABC in mid January 1996 after seizing time for casting and production. Due to the publicity in place, Adrian's gimmicks, and the fact that the script did not appear in advance, the audience rating of the first episode reached 10%, that is to say, almost 12 million people watched it! Although the data can't be compared with friends, it has been an unprecedented high for ABC in recent years. According to the feedback, many people like this TV series, which is warm, interesting and humorous, and suitable for the whole family to watch. Therefore, the second episode still has such a high audience rating.

This is undoubtedly a shot in the arm. It not only makes the reorganized ABC executives very happy, but also makes many critics start to look up to them.

"Facts have proved that it is very right to be acquired by AC media. However, it has begun to improve in half a year. It may not be certain that it will continue, but it has undoubtedly made a good start. It is unlikely that ABC will see the dawn so soon if it is Disney." One economics magazine wrote.

However, although "everyone loves Raymond" has achieved the expected success, the response of the reality show "Survivor" broadcast in the same period is not so enthusiastic, and there are quite a lot of participants. After all, the winner has a lot of awards, but the ratings after the broadcast are very ordinary, and several hot movies are not too bad.

"If a few people go to the wild for a period of time, they will be eliminated if they fail to achieve their goals. This idea is very interesting, but There is always something missing. " One viewer said in a survey.

"It sounds like it should be exciting, but it's not exactly what I thought, so if I had a better choice, I would definitely choose another program." This is the view of another audience.

"Adventure and excitement are the themes and highlights of this reality show! I don't know how you understand it, but judging from the previous two episodes, we didn't achieve this at all. The scenery of the island has become, but the danger of the island? Strange? What about the adventures? I hope you can seriously think about what the audience wants to see on this These are a few of Adrian's speeches at the meeting just now.

He was not sure that what he said was correct. Although he took time to broadcast several episodes of "Survivor", after all, his previous life only knew about the program. But it doesn't matter. Let these producers hone this program. These professionals are of high standard, and all they need is experience. Anyway, the ratings of "everyone loves Raymond" is not bad, and he can bring out more wonderful episodes if necessary. The most important thing is to build an elite reality TV team. Otherwise, they will repeat the same mistakes if they take out the program ideas.

"Of course, we have a miracle director. That's a great guy who can use movies to make a country have sex." Claude laughed.

"Oh, come on, crow, don't mention the clowns," Adrian waved helplessly. "Those guys are just making a show. Like all politicians, they want to take this opportunity to make money, which is essentially the same as Clinton who is running for re-election. Clinton has at least some economic success, and they are just for themselves. "

Not only has the bill on Scottish independence not been repealed after being criticized, but it has also won the support of several members of the Scottish Parliament, who know it is impossible. With the help of the media, the matter is still quite big. Fortunately, the ordinary Scottish people are lack of interest in this, and there is no uncontrollable situation.

If so, Adrian can be proud of it. The original "brave heart" has caused such a storm, but it is not as eye-catching as it is now. It's all thanks to Adrian's reputation, which he's already had so much influence."OK, we don't want to talk about this, but you seem to have a good feeling for Clinton. Isn't that the prototype of the president in" running for life island " Claude then asked

"of course not. I don't think any president would have such a feeling - you have already seen it?" Adrian looked curiously at his best friend.

"Of course, the release of" brave heart "pushed it to the top of the list, and got so much praise, why can't I go to see it?" Claude spread out his hands.

In the second week of "brave heart", the premiere of "brave heart" was also held, and then it swept away 28 million box office in three days of the weekend. With a spirit of giving up one's own, it is normal to squeeze out "brave heart".

In any case, Americans still prefer their own movies, and this movie is hot and wonderful. At the beginning, general Hummer's attacks on the Navy's weapons depot and the fierce battle in the devil's Island toilet are classic and shocking. Adrian still remembers that in his previous life, someone commented that if he was a soldier, he would be willing to work under a man like general Hanmo, not to mention Americans full of heroic complex.

In addition, Hans Zimmer is still in charge of the score, or is it so exciting? Hans Zimmer is a high-yield composer, since he is a high-yield composer, it is inevitable that there will be duplication sometimes. As a matter of fact, when Adrian collected his information, he found that in the soundtrack of a film last year, there was a shadow of the classic soundtrack of "bravely breaking the island of life". Therefore, there was no excessive interference.

the performance of the three leading actors was also quite wonderful. Nicholas Cage was in his peak period. He grasped the character image very well, sometimes full of temperament and fear, sometimes Brave and fearless, with a special sense of humor. For example, in the end, the director of the FBI didn't believe that the body of old Mason had been evaporated, but he squinted and solemnly replied "yes, evaporated". The appearance of "I'm an expert, I believe I'm right" makes people want to laugh.

Ed Harris and Sean Connery, not to mention, are both old characters, especially Connery, who was the first bond. All these factors add up to the fact that the movie is not popular, so the Weinstein brothers were quite excited about it after the premiere.

"If there are still such films, you may as well give them some. Miramax and the new line are different after all, which makes Robert envious for a while." After a few more words about the adventures of life island, Claude said, and then he thought of what to ask: "by the way, I heard about Sean Connery..."

"I didn't ask," Claude shook his head. "Maybe someone asked, but I didn't hear it. You know, a lot of things are just words."

What Claude wants to ask is nothing more than the rumor about Sean Connery that "if Scotland is not independent, he will not go back". This is actually very boring. Many topics are just expressions or distorted interpretations that are flattered or belittled by the media. Connery is not that he has never returned to England. If we say that he has not been to Scotland, few people will believe it.

"I'm just curious." Claude shrugged.

"Be curious later. It's almost time." Adrian looked at the time and stood up.

They then went out of the meeting room together, went to the parking lot of the building, sat in the RV, and talked again after it started.

"What do you think, crow?" Adrian asked.

"It's very capable. It's not just because of him that the company can have today's position, so it's not sure how much role it can play if it's just him." Claude thought about it and then replied.

"But how can we get other people in - let's not say if we can - we're going to lose control, right?" Adrian laughed.

Claude shrugged in acquiescence and waited for his words.

"It's enough to have him alone. He's the CEO who has the best grasp of the whole company's structure, and..." Adrian adjusted his position to make himself more comfortable. "Give me back, don't you?"

"Yes, and you..." Claude suddenly sighed, took out two cups from the car refrigerator and poured pure water. Without warning, he changed the topic: "I have acquired Victoria's secret. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Adrian, who had just delivered the cup to his mouth, almost blew it out. He had already forgotten the advice he had given to Claude. Although Charlize would compile detailed reports every month and send them to him, he always liked to let the Secretary sit in his lap and hold her in his arms and listen to her read the part she wanted to hear. It's hard to avoid missing these news. But then again, even if he looks at the report, he may not notice it.

"Did you really buy Victoria's secret?" Adrian had a dry cough.

"Of course, it just happens that they are in the process of transformation and seeking cooperation with TV stations, and we have broadcasting companies like ABC. In addition, the parent company is not optimistic about their transformation, and it is a popular brand, so we can buy it with little money. More importantly, it's your advice. " Claude said plausibly, as if there was no selfishness at all. He was completely considering from the perspective of the company.Adrian didn't roll his eyes in anger: "when I bought the game studio and animation studio, you didn't have such a straightforward and vigorous manner."

"Because you couldn't be sure of your vision at that time. It's not the same now," continued Claude brazenly. "Come on, ED, talk about it."

"What else can I say? It's almost finished last time. Any fashion brand is more popular at the beginning. What we have to do is how to upgrade it into a boutique. " Adrian shrugged. "Aren't they already in transition? Isn't there a show already? Sign a long-term contract with them, and all the shows are broadcast by ABC. First sign several super models to speak for them, and then set up their own exclusive model teams to boost their popularity. Finally, public relations will strive to perform in the super bowl. That's it. "

"That's very simple." Claude didn't seem to be satisfied with that.

"What else do you want?" Adrian spread his hands. "I'm not a professional, and you're not. Tell those people these ideas and let them worry. We just need to provide the necessary help."

"All right, all right," Claude laughed. "I'll leave it to them. I'll see your prophecy come true."

Soon, the RV drove into a high-end golf club, got off the car and led by the waiter to the private dressing room. Leisure clothes and golf equipment were already ready. After changing into clothes, they drove to the B area in the battery car. A middle-aged man in the same casual dress has been waiting here, and from time to time, he is waving his club in the open space to hit the white ball out.

"Hey, Michael, you look really interested." Claude took the lead in greeting.

"Of course, I can't wait to show you, Claude." The middle-aged man said with a smile and then put his eyes on Adrian.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. miracle director," he held out his hand. "I'm Michael owitz."

"Me too, Michael. Please call me Adrian or ed Adrian smiles and shakes hands with the Disney CEO.

"Do you like golf?" Michael owitz watched him with interest

"not bad, but my skill is very bad, so I have to watch you fight today." Adrian said frankly.

"Any time you see him playing golf, you think it's cruel to let him play, Michael." Claude said solemnly beside him.

"Well, let's play a few games between us." Owitz did not grudgingly, and made a gesture of invitation.

So the three began to play golf, chatting a few recent anecdotes from time to time, just like most social activities. However, owitz never involved in the main content, he did not speak, Adrian and Claude did not mention, this kind of late step of the people have more opportunities, so the three people so tentative conversation, Adrian was forced but also the end of the swing a few strokes, if not owitz still has self-restraint, I am afraid he has ignored the image of laughing.

"Well, you two, I won't go around the bush. What's the purpose of stretching olive branches so many times?" After all, he is an old fox. When Adrian and Claude are around, we can see that they have enough cards. Therefore, it is better to find out the topic and seize the initiative.

"Don't you want to invite me to be CEO? Isn't Claude doing a good job now He asked, jokingly, that such direct and impertinent temptations often work wonders.

But Adrian and Claude look at each other and smile. Adrian opens his mouth first: "we have a brokerage company."

"Brokerage company?" Owitz looked out of the corner of his eye and then said, "did I hear you right? Are you saying that AC media also has a brokerage company? "

"No," Adrian said, smiling and shaking his head. "It's us who own a brokerage firm, not ac media."

"Oh?" Owitz raised her eyebrows.

"Simply put, there is no problem at the legal level." Claude added slowly.

"All right." Owitz doesn't care about this either. In fact, this kind of thing exists in several large Hollywood brokerage companies. How could he not know that CAA was developed by himself.

"I think I understand what you're coming for, but why do you think I'll agree? You know, I don't want to do this anymore. " Said owitz in a relaxed tone.

"Really, Michael?" Adrian grinned insightfully. "You really don't want to do this? Or was it because the old guys left? Do you really think you can do it at Disney? Do you really think Eisner is willing to share his power with others? You've been CEO of Disney for 12 months, haven't you? If you want to step down, Eisner's will will will not be guaranteed by me in half a yearOwitz was still calm and could not see any change, but he also did not answer these questions, so

Adrian had a smile on the corner of his mouth: "you are a successful businessman, Michael. I read about you when I was in school, and I love your tough style. I know you have a good eye. You proposed to Eisner to buy Yahoo, but I didn't agree. "

"Very normal, Yahoo does not see the hope of profit at present." Owitz shrugged, as if to save something.

"Even if he did, Disney couldn't buy it, because we have most of the shares in Yahoo." Adrian said softly, he finally saw a little surprise in the other side's eyes.

"We have been paying attention to the IT industry as early as 91 years ago. We have the most detailed data analysis database, and we have several promising websites in our hands." Said Claude.
