Don't let me down

"the same thing happened decades ago, when television was replacing newspapers as a new medium. Compared with the paper media that needs to be bought on the street or the newsboy takes the time to send it home, the TV is undoubtedly much more convenient. As long as you turn it on, you can know what you can see or can't see in various newspapers. " In the spacious office, Adrian told Claude. []

"and before the advent of television, the broadcasting of radio has made newspapers gradually adapt to and adjust themselves, while the development of the Internet is much faster than that of television, so it will have a great impact on the traditional media, right?" Claude grinned and said, "you've said that many times, ed

Adrian shrugged his shoulders and continued without noticing: "you and I all know that the advantage of the Internet is that the speed and amount of information transmitted by the Internet are far greater than those of the traditional media. The participants have gradually become ordinary people, and the reaction caused by them will be greater than that of the traditional media. Think about it, if you can access the Internet by mobile phone in ten years' time? What if the mobile phone could take photos, take high-definition photos and even videos, and then upload them to a special website the first time? "

"Are you prophesying again?" Claude raised his eyebrows. "So you let me buy MAC

omedia and hold a stake in a?"

"Well Well... " Adrian suddenly showed a smile, "in fact, you need MAC

omedia. I think their Flash software is very promising, and I thought it was developed by a at first."

"What?" Claude raised his eyebrows in surprise and disbelief.

"Don't worry, a will also have what we need in the future." Adrian quickly added.

"Oh, hell, I knew it was a mistake to believe you completely." Claude rolled his eyes and sighed.

"Hey, how can you say that, crow, I can often tell you that my opinion is not necessarily correct, you have to have your own judgment," Adrian retorted immediately. "You just believe too blindly, yes, I admit I was wrong, but don't you have to take part of the responsibility?"

"Are you showing off, ed? Is that so? " Claude squinted, his hands crossed in front of him, and he asked.

"Show off? Me? " Adrian "ha" laughed, "I'll use this if I want to show off. It's not a company thing."

He took out his wallet and threw a credit card in front of Claude.

"Is this?" It's very exquisite, but it's not very ordinary.

"Amex learned from Citibank the latest top credit card, Centurion card, which is more noble than platinum card. It will not accept applications, only banks will actively invite them to join." Adrian simply explained.

"Oh? Is there any better service? " Claude asked.

"Unlimited credit, or all-around Si assistant service," Adrian thought. "I just bought a Gulfstream with it. It's really good. Maybe one day I'm on the train and forget something on it, such as a car, or I can call the train station and ask them to put things down at the next station."

The credit card he took out is naturally the legendary black card. Although he has heard all kinds of rumors about the world's top credit cards in his previous life, he only knew that it was so after he got it. The so-called unlimited credit line is only based on the assets of the holder. If the overdraft is too excessive, the credit card will be recovered. As for all-round service, this is the way banks try to attract customers. Besides, how many are worth inviting? Most have their own team of assistants.

"Don't be kidding. When have you been on the train?" Claude said scornfully.

That's right. Adrian either drives or flies when he goes out. The train in the United States is one of the worse means of transportation. After all, freight transportation is far more profitable than passenger transportation, and most people prefer to travel by car.

"I'm just going to give you an example. If you don't think it's enough, I still have one here." Adrian said and took out a black card and handed it to Claude. "This is from Citibank. After the express company sent an invitation, they immediately invited me. The competition is really fierce."

"If I also buy a Boeing 747 as my own car, they will invite me as well." Claude shrugged and handed the two black cards back to Adrian. "Well, let's continue with our topic. Frankly, if it wasn't for the reduction of liquidity caused by holding a, we wouldn't be competing with Bertelsmann for the ownership of Langdon house now."

"Again, a may not be very useful to us now, but it won't be in the future." Adrian repeated the previous words again.

Well, he is a bit unreasonable. He mainly holds shares in a for Flash software, but he doesn't know much about it. So he didn't find out how to develop flash Software Mac until he acquired aOmedia has not yet been acquired by a, so it has turned into a complete acquisition of holding and transferred MAC

omedia into the group. But a is not totally useless, their image processing software has always been the best in the industry, and in Adrian's plan, there is still a lot about this part of the website.

This is a digression. Claude's question about Random House is the focus. As one of the nine major publishing brands in the United States, the name of Langdon house is quite loud. Although the focus of AC media is on film, television and the Internet, it can't be completely abandoned in traditional paper media. Especially, its publishing company is famous for acting for the Harry Potter series Big noise, it's really unreasonable not to take this opportunity to expand.

However, just last year, when AC media took a fancy to Langdon house, Bertelsmann group also took a fancy to them. The two sides fought several times around Random House. After all, Bertelsmann has a history of more than 100 years, which is not as easy to deal with as Disney. In addition, AC media has just acquired MAC

and omedia has taken control of A. Claude has suffered a lot from them. If we don't find a way to reverse the deal, we can only give up Langdon library.

"Put it off. You know our plan. One year at the most." Adrian said, "I've got uncle regert ready."

"I don't know where you have such confidence. Even my father can't be 100% sure." Claude sighed. "It's not easy to delay for a year. Bertelsmann is not Disney."

Immediately, Adrian gave an unexpected answer: "really can't, then give up, we are not without the Random House, our future is in the network, and the success of" the witch Blair "has fully demonstrated this point, can appear in seven or eight years, a topic reported by CNN did not set off much response, can be put on the network However, communication can attract countless people's heated discussion. "

"Oh?" Claude raised his eyebrows. He knew Adrian had something to do.

Sure enough, Adrian said with a smile: "what do you think of Horton Mifflin?"

“…… I knew you'd have a big appetite After a while, Claude began to laugh.

Houghton Mifflin publishing company is one of the four largest publishers in the United States. Its history of more than 100 years is comparable to that of Bertelsmann. Although Langdon book house is good, it is still not enough compared with them. If you want to acquire such an old publishing company, you need a lot of money, or you need to carry out merger and reorganization. The latter is obviously not Adrian's choice. So the former If the plan goes well, it might be possible.

"You do see a long way, ed. even though you're not sure about the details, you do have a good set of long-term plans." Claude said with emotion.

"Don't worry, crow. Everything is still unknown. You'd better do what you're doing first." Adrian laughed.

"The witch Blair" is still on the rise. With the evidence of the first people who watched the film, the discussion on this issue on the Internet has become more and more heated. As a result, the number of theaters showing it has risen again and again, and the box office has naturally increased. Of course, more and more accusations have been made against the governor of Maryland. Fortunately, Bosworth came forward to refute the rumors.

The timing is good, the state's Fu is not completely impatient, and with a lot of sponsorship - it's a drop in the bucket compared to the box office - they don't care. After the whole incident was announced, although some people felt fooled, more people were surprised. Just by making such a hype, people could believe that the whole thing was true, so more people began to enter the cinema.

Although this has something to do with the fact that AC media's media are secretly boosting the flames, there are also factors of the Americans themselves, such as a joke says, want to make American money? Just try to underestimate their IQ.

In the end, "the witch Blair" earned 270 million box office worldwide, and Bosworth's hype was recorded in the film history books and became the content that every film company should study. However, this is not comparable to those film companies owned by AC media and repeatedly emphasized by Adrian from the beginning.

Well, that's all later. Now that the small budget movie is starting to take off, Adrian is in the conference room calling for a crew ready to shoot.

"You may be wondering why such a medium investment movie would let me personally come out and call you for a talk. The reason is very simple. The original novel of this movie adapted from the game was co written by me and others." Sitting at the head of the long table, Adrian said with a smile as he looked at the writers, actors and directors in front of him.

Dennis knight, the leading actor who plays hank, the fourth survivor; Raven Phoenix, who plays Leon S. Kennedy; Sara, who plays Claire Redfield; lof, who plays Jill Valentine; and Lin Zhiling, who plays ADA Wang. Yes, the film version of biochemical crisis, which has been preparing for a long time, is finally about to open.

Of course, in addition to Dennis is the heroine, there are only a few other actors who play the game characters, including ADA Wang of Lin Zhiling. After all, from the beginning, the film version has established a position that is not only a supplement and development of the game version, but also an independent article. Although s è has appeared, there are not many parts in the play. What will happen in the future is waiting to see the fans and the fans Game fans' perception of the film.That's why Adrian talked about rivan playing Lyon's s è, and he wanted Aniston to play Jill at the beginning. The couple's gimmicks were very interesting. But when Sarah agreed to play Claire, she recommended her "little dog" to play Jill. Adrian would not refuse, so this plan can only be put on hold, but it doesn't matter. There will be opportunities in the future.

"I suddenly came up with a good idea. You and your wife will play together. It will be very interesting. But it will take a few more years for Janie to fix her image as an action star in the film This is what Adrian told Fu as newlyweds Dennis and Aniston were back in Los Angeles from their honeymoon to attend the biochemical crisis conference.

Aniston's female police in "broken arrow" and female hackers in "matrix" have caused quite good repercussions among fans. Both the heroic image in "broken arrow" and the plot of sacrificing to cover Trinity and Neo in "the matrix" have won the approval of the vast majority of fans and many film companies after the end of those disputes She's starting to think about her action image.

But the influence of friends is huge. The innocent and silly Rachel Green is always more acceptable, so Aniston's action image is not stable. Although Adrian can get that script out, it's not the best time, so it's better to put it off a little bit.

The atmosphere in the conference room was very harmonious. It was the first time for most people to hear that the director of miracle had written a novel with others, so they had to ask a few questions about it, and then led other people to exchange greetings.

"The novel was written about seven or eight years ago. At that time, a lot of interesting ideas came out of my head, so I often used a pen to record those things with flash of light. Some of the ideas are good for a novel, such as biochemical crisis, which is inspired by dawn of the living dead to construct a completely different framework. But there was always a lot of work to do at that time. I only wrote the outline and some fragments, so I simply asked people to write together... " Adrian explains his motives while observing the crowd in silence.

The director Brooke Hamel is very young about 10 years old. He has directed several medium and medium investment commercial films. Among several directors, Adrian thinks his style is closer to the game and his own ideas, so he is selected. At the moment, he is talking to what the two writers are talking about. These two people are one of the company's contract writers, one from the game department, each of them is very good at speaking, plus Adrian's mediation from time to time, the script is still well written.

Dennis and rivan have a few words from time to time. They worked together in finch's fight club last year, and they both had a good relationship with Adrian. But Adrian's attention is not on it. Fight club is about to be released next month, and he'd like to know how Aniston feels about Winona's supporting role.

On the other hand, Sara and love have a close conversation, which seems to be similar to what the media said. They are very good sisters, but Adrian can see the reluctance in love's smile. Sarah probably vent all the dark side of her heart on love. She makes the woman obedient. Even if she has resentment in her heart, she doesn't dare to resist. Otherwise, Adrian will not secretly call love "Sara's little dog.".

Of course, this has something to do with Adrian's red face. Love's "death is coming" will soon be released, and Adrian also said that if she wants to, the record company can give her an album to test the water.

As for Lin Zhiling, it was the first time that she attended such a meeting. Basically, there were no people she knew. However, her agent came along with her today, so she could say something rather than stay there and do nothing. Her agent, whose surname is Lin, also comes from Taiwan. At the age of 10, she came to Los Angeles with her family. She majored in economics and comparative literature at the University of California. After graduation, she looked for jobs everywhere. Finally, she entered a brokerage company. After two months of sending and receiving work, Adrian saw her as Lin Zhiling's agent.

Her English name is Kelly, the same name as Hu Kaili, and her Chinese name is Lin Xilei.

"Well, let's call it a day. You've seen the script. I hope I can see a wonderful film." Look at the time is almost over, all the words have been finished, everyone's state is also good, Adrian immediately got up to announce the end, of course, it is necessary to whisper goodbye to the familiar people one by one.

"Will you take Janie to fight club, Dan?" This is to Dennis said, the other side helplessly rolled his eyes, walking in front of the rivan smile.

"Don't think it's a guest star, you can't work hard." This is for Sarah, in exchange for her grimace, and then pulls lov away, not giving her a chance to please Adrian.

"Don't let me down, Ling." This is to Lin Zhiling, and in Chinese, she immediately nodded, although in the meeting room, the smile is still very charming.

But to many people's surprise, Adrian left Lin Xilei down: "you wait, Kelly."This has attracted a lot of attention. As Lin Zhiling's agent, Lin Xilei seems to have nothing to do with the producers. What will she stay for? But these eyes are basically with clear, so not on the heart, but Lin Zhiling, God s è has a little jealousy.

"I heard you and Ling were not happy before?" After seeing Lin Xilei a little uneasy, Adrian opened his mouth like this.

Although I don't understand why the other party asked this question, Lin Xilei nodded honestly in the face of such a tycoon, and then wanted to explain, but Adrian snatched in front of her and continued: "I know it's Ling's problem, but as an agent, you are not qualified."

"I made you the agent of Ling."

"You can tell your boss, or even CEO Michael owitz - I told him - about a conflict, rather than arguing with clients."

"What I need is an agent who can take good care of Asian actors for the company."

"I have more important people who intend to put you in charge if you meet my requirements."
