"I know how you feel. In fact, I am very optimistic about the future of blue sky studio. Otherwise, I would not have come to persuade you in person, even though you were still doing CG scenes for some advertisements or TV series at that time. I think you should know that I never do idle work. Since I have acquired blue sky studio and agreed to your conditions, it means that I am optimistic about you. You are different from Pixar. They are earlier pioneers. It is inevitable that you will have a great harvest. If you want to get the same harvest, you must make greater efforts. [search for the latest updates]

What's more, the styles of the two studios are not the same. Pixar insists on the story that is suitable for all ages, while you believe in the pursuit of excellence. Human time is always more precious than machines, right? So, don't be so anxious. I've already arranged it. Just this year, I need you to do your best to make a short film animation, which can take eight to ten minutes. As long as you can be shortlisted for the best short film animation of the Oscar, you will be allowed to make a long 3D animation with an investment of at least $50 million. If you can win the prize, then the investment will be more, how about? "

The above is Adrian's promise to Weiji and several key personnel at blue sky studio after the Chinese New Year. Anyway, it was because of the short film animation produced in 1998 that blue sky studio won the Oscar for best short film animation that fox took a fancy to and acquired, and then had the funds to make animation. He didn't mind repeating this process.

Pixar, who holds all the copyright in his hands, is enough to make money, and is not in a hurry to make blue sky studio produce benefits as quickly as possible. In his plan, blue sky studio will also play an important role in AC media's Disney route.

The new year has come, for Adrian, more opportunities are waiting for him, AC media will also usher in the opportunity of expansion, so just after the New Year holiday, he began to plan more things.

"Who can tell me what people fear most?" Sitting at the top of the room, Adrian glanced at the top of the room and asked.

No one spoke, and even Claude and Lafayette, who had been discovered by him, looked at him with incomprehensible eyes.

"Well, this question is a bit general. If you look at people as animals - higher animals - when they have no worries about food and clothing, what do they fear most and worry about most?" Adrian changed his question.

Still no one answered, and finally Claude cleared his throat: "it's still too general, ed. maybe you can give more detailed terms."

"If you are more detailed, you will be able to tell you the answer clearly." Adrian shook his head and looked behind him to the right. "Can you tell me the answer, Charlie?"

Charlize, who was sitting there recording the situation, looked up in amazement at Adrian, who gave her an encouraging smile.

"Well..." After thinking about it carefully, Charlize finally said, "I think you should be talking about loneliness, right?"

"Yes, loneliness," Adrian snapped his finger and looked again at the executives present. "As a social animal, after meeting the needs of survival, the most worried and scared thing about loneliness is loneliness"

after they have digested his words for a moment, he said again: "in my opinion, there are two kinds of loneliness, one is for various reasons, Separated from society, they are abandoned in the virgin forest or uninhabited island. DreamWorks wanted me to direct a movie starring Tom Hanks, but I declined, and that's the story. This should be a terrible experience. There is no steak, no TV, no baseball, no facilities for life and entertainment. The most important thing is that no one talks to you. If you don't keep exercising, you may not even speak a few years later. Even Robinson will have to have a Friday company, which shows the terrible loneliness.

But this is only the first kind, and there is a kind of loneliness that is even more terrible. The former one is passively separated from the society by accident, and the latter is abandoned by the society actively. In short, no one cares if you live, and no one cares if you die. That's why there are so many people who want to be beauty pageants, bodybuilders, cheerleaders, five quarters, actors and talk Show host and so on, because only in this way can you show your difference and feel that you are outstanding and valuable.

but for a long time, there are few channels to show yourself. Although there are beauty contests in an ordinary town, although there are more and more various talent shows, compared with the whole population base, there are many kinds of talent shows, Still very few. More people seem to be mediocre, in addition to their relatives, no one cares, even if they do have a lot of special place. But now it's different. A flat world has appeared in front of them. In this world, they can vent all their own things, show all their own things, and attract people's attention in various ways. Yes, this is the Internet

psychologists once tested that if a person wears a mask that no one can recognize, Then he will be unscrupulous to do everything he wants to do. The Internet is like this. Have you seen the new Yorker, which was released in 1994? On the Internet, no one knows that you are a dog, a gentleman who abides by all kinds of etiquette in his life, and maybe a shrew in the network. A villain in life, in the network is also a calm thinker. There are endless possibilities in the network. It is both illusory and real. This is not a new media channel, but it runs and ferments faster than other media. Look at the websites we hold in our hands, Yahoo, Amazon and IMDAnd so on, and there will be more in the future. Who can make use of this, make use of people's desire to show themselves, to publicize and influence, will be able to shake the lead in the coming 21st century "

this is not the first time Adrian has stressed the importance of the network, but it was always said in private with the company's executives before, and it was still the first time to talk about it at the meeting once. This is necessary, because in the early years of the 21st century, people have shown themselves much more than in the past decade. After all, anyone can become a celebrity in the Internet age as long as they dare not to be shameless.

Since it's easy to become a new media tycoon after several calculations, if you don't seize this opportunity to further expand into a big alligator, Adrian must be the most stupid person in the world, and the first opportunity is blog.

"Why didn't you mention that Blog? " Back in Claude's office after the meeting, he asked.

"I have always been in charge of the keynote. You have arranged the specific work. Since you have not mentioned it, why should I mention it?" Adrian put his hands out.

"Come on, everyone knows that if you don't talk about these things, I won't say them either." Claude gave him a white eye. "Tell me quickly, what the hell are you up to again."

"Well, well, for two reasons," Adrian sat down. "First of all, I need them to figure out for themselves. They can't always say what I say, and they just do what they want?"

"Hey, how does that sound like I'm talking about?" Claude suddenly called out, Adrian ignored him and continued: "second, I can't slap myself in the face, can't I?"

"Slap yourself in the face?"

"You forget what they talked about in private at the reception in Hurst's mansion two weeks ago, on New Year's Eve."

"You mean news syndication? But this and Well, I see. "

Adrian shrugged as he looked at the understanding look on Claude's face. In fact, as early as the Internet has not been fully formed, the network already has this kind of expression, but there is no fixed form. Since the blog can publish the author's mood words, it can also be used to record news and various information. Compared with the ordinary way of submission, blog is obviously much faster. If you add a sharp search engine

The big alligators in any industry have only two choices to deal with emerging things. One is to suppress them and absorb them quickly while maintaining their own advantages; the other is to try their best to participate in it and strive for a share of it. The former applies when the other party is weak, while the latter applies to the situation that the other party has a certain scale.

If AC media launched blog service, it would undoubtedly belong to the latter, but how to bundle some big players, especially those of traditional media, is quite a skill. What's more, just agreed to the news Union website, and immediately made such a thing, eating phase is too ugly. Anyway, it is not a bad thing to cooperate with Hurst group and Newhouse group, and will be prepared to do more fully.

Wait and see. Besides, there are a lot of things left to be taken out. Adrian thought contentedly, then mentioned another topic: "how about siglam?"

"There's no suspense. They've let it go. They know that blind expansion has already made them overburdened," Claude said with a smile, but then his face changed. "However, the funds in Southeast Asia can't be used for the time being. In the past few months, Soros has been prepared almost as well, and will be attacked in Indonesia immediately. So if siglam does it, he will do it To make a decision, we have to finance. "

"It doesn't matter. Even if I only have 35 shares in my hand, I can still control the power of the company. It doesn't even need that much. As long as the two of us have 35 shares, the same can be said." Adrian didn't care to wave his hand, but his eyelids jumped twice when he heard that he was going to stab Indonesia.

"Promise me, take globegroup." He watched him say that.

"Well, make sure you get globegroup." Claude laughed.

Yes, the final jigsaw of the movie is not MGM, Columbia or Warner Bros. it's universal cinema. Needless to say, Sony will not let go, even if the loss situation is only partially improved. Warner is even more unlikely. Warner Group is already a giant. Unless it is acquired, it is impossible to take it under its command. How can Adrian give up?

As for MGM, its original scenery is no longer there. It can be seen from Kirk Corleone's selling and buying it back several times that it may be money laundering. Anyway, Adrian and Claude are decent people in the circle, and how can they have too much contact with these people, even if they are already white washed.

As a result, globegroup became the best choice. In the late 1980s, there was another Japanese enterprise that entered Hollywood with Sony, which was Panasonic, which acquired globegroup. Different from Sony, Panasonic has retained the management of globegroup and given considerable autonomy. However, the cultural differences are not easy to eliminate. Moreover, the expansion is too fast and some indigestion. In addition, the benefits of globegroup are not very good, so Panasonic sold it to the sigram group early.In other words, Adrian also contributed to this. Originally, globegroup still had several good works in the early 1990s, but because Adrian stepped in, Schindler's list was not available, and Jurassic Park became a joint venture. Global's income was much lower than that of the same period in previous generations, so Panasonic sold them one year ahead of schedule.

The siegram group, which took over the company, is famous for its liquor making. After taking over, it is also ambitious to create its own media empire. Unfortunately, the gap between wine making and media is too big. In addition, with the blind expansion like Panasonic, they soon fell into a dilemma. Moreover, with Adrian as a variable, Spielberg, who has a good relationship with the world, is also established After DreamWorks, siglam also began to seriously consider the possibility of selling it.

This is an opportunity for AC media. You should know that universal pictures is also the second oldest film company in Hollywood. Although it was once a second-class film company for some time, it still occupies the position of one of the seven major film companies. Especially in the last decade or so, the ownership has changed every few years. But under the leadership of CEO Ron Mayer, he still maintains the position of a big film company, especially in the case of Adrian's disturbance, he has to say that he is a very powerful figure.

It has a history in Hollywood, has a place in MPAA, and the films and TV series are well made. Although the film library is not as good as Miramax, most of them are high-quality films, and there are acquaintances who can help to contact, and there are no other unclean forces. This is simply tailor-made for AC media. The only problem is the ratio of global overseas distribution It's worse, but there is no perfect thing in the world. Besides, it can be made up for. If it wasn't for Panasonic to sell it out and Adrian was short of funds, maybe he would have done it at that time.

But it's not too late, and it might be more appropriate.

After receiving Claude's promise and formally raising the importance of the Internet at a high-level meeting, Adrian immediately turned his attention to the end of the Christmas New Year file. After all, although the prospect is well planned, it still needs time to complete.

So far, "killing moment" has officially broken the box office barrier of 100 million yuan in North America, but it can only stop here. For such a film, it has been a very good result, and it also has a good start for Kate's comeback. As for "the end of the world", it is still moving towards 200 million, but the prospect is not very optimistic. Whether it can break through 200 million is still unknown. However, if the box office outside Shanghai is included, at least the cost can be recovered.

Titanic, on the other hand, is still strong on the cinema line. Although it has shrunk a lot compared with the number of theaters in the past few months, it still sticks to it. Critics have been amazed, this is a miracle, even if the harshness of the guy also have to admit that this film at least in business no one can compare.

So far, the box office of big boat in North America has exceeded 700 million yuan, while the box office of overseas has reached 1.2 billion yuan. At the end of the year, after several twists and turns in China, it has also received a box office of nearly 400 million yuan. The third generation of programs, as expected, will take a look at how capitalist countries publicize themselves.

Now, people all over the world are hanging their necks waiting to see if Titanic can reach an unprecedented 2 billion box office in the world before it goes offline.

"Definitely," Adrian said, adding that although he knew that the ship had broken his memory record, he was still desperate to win $2 billion at the global box office.

"Tell the owners of the cinema that as long as the boat is kept online for a period of time, as long as I pass that time, I can raise the proportion to 70, and they should know when it is," Adrian told Lafayette.

If it wasn't because it was too obvious and ostentatious to do so now, it would not be difficult for him to spend 20 million out of his own pocket to push through the 2 billion mark.

Look at it. If you can't support it, it doesn't matter if you show off. Adrian thought so.

It's needless to say when we have to support it. We will know that after the middle of January of 1998, it is the end of the Christmas New Year file, and the third film of the three films prepared before has held its premiere. The reason why it was held at this time is that the film is not suitable for the popular schedule.

"It's really a good movie. When its main focus is nostalgia, it's doomed that there won't be a lot of people who like it. After all, the main consumer groups in the film market are between 18 and 25 years old, so it would be very bad to put this movie on the hot schedule." In deciding the release time, an assistant manager at Bosworth seized the opportunity to present his views to Adrian.

Adrian happily accepted his advice and promoted him. Although he didn't care much about the film, it was arranged to be released at the end of the year mainly to impact the Oscar, but the box office data was too ugly and bad. As for whether the premiere will lose its qualification to compete for the Oscar in January, oh, don't forget the requirements of the film academy. As early as Christmas, "L.A. secret" was screened in Los Angeles, which fully meets the requirements.

But at the premiere, Adrian is holding Zeta Jones across the red carpet, so just appeared, the reporters on both sides can't wait to press the shutter, there is something to write.. .。www.novelhold.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
