Integration
"well, everyone, all the people left are the heads of M é n of each department. I can also speak some words." Glancing at the people in the room, Adrian said with a smile.
A few minutes ago, he held a temporary staff meeting outside to appease the panic of the employees of xiaglobegroup due to the change of ownership of the company again. It was not very successful or bad. The name of miracle director was there, and the company should be able to develop better than it is now. However, in the eyes of executives, they discussed the changes that will happen after AC media controls the world a few weeks ago. Now it really comes, and naturally it can't be appeased with a few words.
"I know you're worried," Adrian said after a moment's silence. "But if you get a little bit of my style, you'll see that there's no need to worry about it."
He pointed up a finger: "first of all, Ron will continue to serve as CEO of globegroup for a long time. In the past years, he has not only firmly stabilized the course of globegroup in frequent changes, but also made great achievements. He has proved that he is a CEO of s è, and I can't think of anyone more suitable for this position than him."
Then he made a gesture to Ron Mayer, who was sitting on the right, nodded slightly and said a short "thank you", modest and polite.
"It's the same for the rest of us," Adrian continued. "Without your efforts, universal won't stick to it, so I hope you'll all continue to work hard and do better."
Some words need not be so clear. These executives are guys who have been in the market for many years. How can they not understand Adrian's meaning? They are all relieved after this sentence. This action is very covert, and immediately mentioned Jing God, they know that the new boss has not finished.
Sure enough, Adrian took a look at Claude roanlis, the CEO of AC media, who was sitting on his left, and made a gesture backward. Then, the beautiful NV secretary put several folders in front of them.
"This is my idea about the future. You can see if you have any questions, please ask them." He said so.
All the executives, including Mayer, are starting to flip through what's in their hands. They looked very quietly, only occasionally they looked up and changed their eyes. Adrian was not in a hurry. He sat there waiting.
After a while, they finished reading his plan. Then there was a discussion about stealing Si language. Mayer did not join in. He just sat quietly and looked at them. After the discussion, he turned to Adrian and said, "this is a huge idea. Mr. Adrian, please forgive me. We can't make a definite assessment in a short time. ”
"I understand," Adrian nodded. "With all due respect, globegroup has been quiet for a long time, although it has been developing well in recent years, and it is very valuable under the condition of changing ownership. However, everything has its disadvantages. While maintaining the basic progress of development, we have lost the enterprising mentality, especially in After Spielberg left globegroup to set up DreamWorks, this mentality was particularly prominent. Now, we are not Panasonic, we do not have cultural differences, we do not understand the American audience; we are not siglam, we know nothing about the media, Hulu à n director. We have experience and talent, so why can't we do better? I need you to work harder and see further places. Just like making a movie, the scriptwriter, the actor and the director are important, but the recording, props and lighting masters are equally important. As long as we work together, we can do better "
he straightens up, shakes hands and makes a fist, but with a short but forceful swing, his eyes are on the people who are doing it Knowing that he was laying the groundwork for a plan on paper, executives still took a deep breath.
"I understand what you think, so it doesn't need to be done in one go. We can make adjustments according to the actual situation to ensure the smooth integration." Then he said, with a firm and unquestionable tone.
Adrian's plan is actually very simple, which is to split Bosworth and then merge most of the resources into the world. Before that, Bosworth ranked first among the three largest film production and distribution companies under AC media. After all, it was brought out by Adrian himself, and lafann, who was in charge of operation, did quite well. Even though he was promoted to the head office, his foundation was very solid.
However, Bosworth's thought still has a long way to go before it reaches the level of the seven major film companies. After all, the seven film companies have developed in Hollywood for more than half a century, and they are deeply rooted and can not be replaced easily. What's more, overseas distribution rights can't be obtained without deep qualifications. The reason why DreamWorks can't enter MPAA is because there is no overseas distribution right. So Adrian set a goal to acquire one of the seven major film companies from the beginning.
In his plan, AC media should divide the companies responsible for film and television production and distribution in this way. First, there should be a large company with rich qualifications and strong anti risk ability to produce and distribute large-scale productions with large investment; secondly, there should be two medium-sized companies, most of which will produce and distribute works with medium investment, occasionally involving some large investment Finally, a small company with good foundation and qualifications is responsible for producing and distributing films with small investment and low cost.In fact, this plan has been adjusted according to the actual situation. For example, Miramax and the new line are corresponding to medium-sized companies. Now that globegroup has taken over, it is natural that they should be responsible for large investment and large-scale production. Then Bosworth thought a little bit redundant, so Adriana separated them and merged them into global. Most of Bosworth's staff are brought out by him. There is no merit or hard work. It is impossible to lay off all the staff. Besides, they are familiar with his style of doing things, which makes them more convenient and Easy to control the world.
However, the idea of global executives should also be considered. Most of their abilities are very good and can't be chilling. That's why the above remarks, since they expressed their attitude and determination, gave them time to run in.
As for Bosworth, although it was reduced to third place after the split, its actual position was not counted, and Adrian would not let it go. If the small investment and small production work well, it will not be able to develop. Lion m é N film was established last year, and it is still not very impressive. It has been mainly producing and distributing horror films. However, Adrian knows that it is because of their unique vision in horror films that it will become the peak of Hollywood's second tier film company in the future.
Unfortunately, it is doomed that they can't do this again. From the moment they were founded, Adrian let people keep an eye on them. As long as the lion m é n is optimistic about it, if it is valuable, he will immediately pay a higher price to buy it. What's more, he has an impression of several horror films developed by lion m é n. This kind of repression is nothing in Hollywood. DreamWorks has been plagued by its company in recent years. If Bosworth was not lucky, no one saw their potential, but it developed rapidly and steadily. Maybe he is still making money in the second tier film company, and so is AC media.
There was a buzz in the conference room, and executives began to discuss it. In the plan, most of the people who made and distributed films at Bosworth and those who produced and distributed TV series would be merged into the world, so they didn't think about it carefully. Most of the seven major film companies are involved in TV production, and there are many s è works. For example, Warner, despite the absence of friends, a TV series that influenced the 1990s in the United States, still has good works on NBC, and ABC is competing for ratings. Fox and Disney are needless to say. Most of fox's TV series are produced by the former, and the latter's Disney Channel has always been loved by American families.
Globegroup has also launched many TV dramas, which have been acquired in the past few years. In order to ensure the development of the company, it has to spend more resources on films and TV series with faster cost recovery. So Adrian didn't interrupt their discussion. He just listened quietly, talked to Claude from time to time, and then answered questions from Meyer and other executives.
After more than ten minutes, the discussion gradually went down. Adrian cleared his throat and said, "well, that's all for now. If you have any suggestions, please summarize them, and then give them to Meyer in written form, and then he can synthesize them and transfer them to me."
He didn't intend to listen to their suggestions immediately. In just over an hour, what good suggestions could they come up with? But he didn't mind giving them a deep impression before he left.
"In addition, I have some plans for the production of movies and TV series." Adrian said, gesturing to the back, and Charlize quickly handed a book to him.
"I'm going to turn this novel into a TV series," he said, taking it to Mayer's hands and watching them pass it around. "It's 11 episodes on cable TV, with an investment of $80 million to $100 million each, which can be co invested by universal and TNT TV, owned by TBS, and invited Spielberg to produce it - which he promised me."
A low voice has been raised, especially for those who read the book, with an investment of $80 million to $100 million per episode? This is too exaggerated. Although the production cost of TV series is increasing, such a large investment has never been made.
Before they could express their opinions, Adrian took over three books from Charlize and placed them on the long table in turn: "this is my film plan. I intend to adapt these three books into films."
After seeing the covers of the three books, the low voice rang again. These three books are so famous that no one here has not read them.
"You want to Will these three novels be adapted into films? " Mayer hesitated, then asked uncertainly.
"Yes, a novel and a movie are invested and produced by universal. Don't worry, the investment for three novels is about $300 million to $350 million, which is not much higher than Titanic." Adrian made a small joke, "as early as the end of 1994, I had people get the right to adapt, so I have been preparing for so many years. I have drawn a lot of scene maps and character setting maps. The shooting location and the actors have also had some consideration - I like to make long-term planning arrangements."
He put his hands on the long table with his hands crossed. With a smile on his face and a slight lift of his chin, he was confident. At the same time, he gave people a sense of condescension, which made people forget to question for a while."It's you, ed. you've got the whole house under control. They have nothing to say." In the middle of the RV, Claude laughed and said, "it's very simple, this is my movie"
the unquestionable tone was fully learned by him.
"Isn't this my movie?" Adrian shrugged, took out a bottle of champagne and three glasses from the cupboard, poured them and handed them to Claude and Charlize.
"But in a year next year To be frank, even I think it's exaggerated. " Claude held the glass and said, "I remember, you have a new film to shoot in Italy, right? And still... "
He didn't say the back half, but squeezed his eyes at Charlize.
"It can be done in two months at most, and three to four months at the end, and it won't delay shooting next year," Adrian said leisurely. "You know, I always make movies very fast."
"Yes, yes, even I, who don't know much about making movies, know that no one can produce a high cost movie in less than half a year, and always get good box office sales," Claude sighed, but immediately became more popular. "If it's me, I'm not sure I can win them over in a short time, you No one can do that, ed
"That's because I can deal with more important things for you," Adrian said seriously. "Because of you, I can put Jing into this wholeheartedly. I know how much contribution you have made to the acquisition of TBS, the acquisition of ABC, and the acquisition of globegroup."
"Because..." Claude was in a trance and seemed to be in the memory. "You said that as long as we were close, we would not be defeated"
he looked into his eyes, took a serious s è, and patted him on the shoulder: "I always remember what you said that night when you came to encourage me. Frankly speaking, at the beginning, I really felt a little bored I thought you were whimsical again, but then Unconsciously, I was attracted by you, and then, to the present, what can make Ji move more than watching the realization of the original ambition bit by bit? "
"Of course," Adrian laughed and slapped Claude on the shoulder: "the world will be ours"
he pinched both hands, and in his smiling eyes, everything was self-evident. Then --
"can you stop looking at me with such an affectionate look? It's easy to get misunderstood, crow
"Is it? If you hadn't dealt with me like you did with the NV people, I wouldn't have bothered to see you, ed
"The same thing you did with the NV people? Don't be kidding. I'm not good at it
"Of course, of course, we all know what you like - Hey, Charlie, don't you think it's boring to be around this man? Why not try to start your own business? "
"I warn you, crow, don't abet my secretary anywhere, or I'll turn my face"
looking at the two men who broke up the stage and looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes as if they could do something at any time, Charlize rolled his eyes and looked out of the window. Just a smile, but unconsciously climbed up the corner of her mouth, but a few minutes later, her eyes flashed a little confused, and then slightly invisible sigh.
Global's problem has come to an end for the time being. Claude is responsible for the specific division and integration. Adrian only needs to pay attention to it at any time. With lafune in charge, Bosworth people will not suffer too much. However, some things should be started, such as the TV series that plans to invest in global.
It's true that in the previous life, the film company that caused a sensation just after entering the 21st century, Adrian always started early on the film and TV series adapted from those novels.
Although with his support, TNT has successfully transformed into a cable TV station that produces its own TV programs and has won a considerable number of users, it still can't compare with HBO, which has a considerable accumulation of TV stations. Although "Y" and "the underworld" have both become TNT's works because of Adrian, HBO has launched some fairly good TV series. It is not easy to kill them completely.
So it's just the right time for TNT to make this TV series by integrating the globe. Anyway, there is no shortage of money and producers. When he introduced the script of Saving Private Ryan to Spielberg, Adrian borrowed the inspiration from company of brothers and told him about his plan, and half jokingly invited him to serve as a supervisor He also agreed.
After this TV series, which can be regarded as super investment at the present stage, is broadcast on TNT, even though HBO can still insist on it, it will not be able to threaten TNT, which has established its own position firmly, for a long time.
But it's just one of the many jobs he needs to get involved in, and there's something else he needs to deal with personally - Nintendo got m é n through TBS.www.novelhold.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
