------------At the beginning of April 2000, many financial critics couldn't understand a series of changes between AC media and Sony records. First, Sony records announced on Friday that it was going to take over MCM records. But two days later, AC media suddenly announced on Monday that it had successfully acquired Universal Music with a price of 6.5 billion yuan, and would merge with MCM records to form a new global music Ni record, the spokesman only said at the end that it would cooperate with them in depth. The book MI group 2
hell, even if there may be a big reversal, it won't be so dramatic, right? However, the fact will not change with their surprise. AC media takes back the control of MCM and is more firmly holding shares with Sony records. However, it owns more shares than Sony. Moreover, it also has a seat on the board of directors of Sony records, but Sony records can only hold shares After these unimportant details were revealed in turn, financial commentators immediately changed their tone and began to praise AC media's strategic deception. It seems that those words that ridiculed that they would encounter a setback have never been said. A commentator in the Wall Street Journal praised Adrian and Claude as "natural partners".
Well, at least this sentence is correct. Adrian and Claude really cooperate very well. One is responsible for business negotiation and company operation, the other is responsible for creativity and development, supporting and complementing each other, which completely plays the role of 1 + 1
2. Take this great reversal as an example. Apart from Claude's joint efforts in business, Adrian has also contributed a lot to the benefits he has provided to make the exchange.
For example, when motola was forced to sign the contract, he mentioned those two TV dramas, the internship and the office, which easily balanced Viacom and N
C.
A large part of American TV dramas are about police, doctors and lawyers. So Adrian promised the intern to C
s. in memory, the TV series had a ratings of 10 million in the first two quarters at least. After the millennium, with the continuous development of cable TV, the ratings of wireless TV stations began to decline, reaching 10 million The number of people is already very good.
C is a little bit worse. Originally a British mi you drama, the office wind and cloud is very interesting to shoot with documentary techniques. It has a high audience rating in the UK, and was later purchased by N
C. Although the audience rating of the American version is not high, its quality is still good. But now even the British version has not come out, shooting techniques used properly, and can be very good Americanization, ratings will definitely go up two steps.
Of course, more importantly, Adrian has made a guarantee that this will be two good TV series. To this day, is there anyone who doesn't believe the miracle director's words?
The same is true for Warner and fox, as well as Sony Columbia. Needless to say, after nearly two months of discussion on the X-Men series, Adrian's proposal has both succeeded and failed. The success is due to the fact that the overall story of the trilogy is much better than that of the original. The amazing author and the playwright of universal finally made the story basically self consistent based on the outline he gave. Although there are still many
UG, this is the problem of Marvel Comics itself.
Moreover, the reason why Dr. X was paralyzed and the relationship between Wolverine and saber toothed tiger has also been set in Adrian's request. As long as the quality of the original version can be maintained after being produced, it will certainly be more popular. However, it is impossible to set the story of other corners s è with this extension, because the amount of information is too large and the society is always developing constantly, the plot that people like today may be hated tomorrow, especially in commercial movies.
"Unless we start shooting immediately after we finish the script, we may have to rewrite the story in a few years. Besides, there are too many characters in" X-Men ". Besides the main heroes, we are not sure which ones will be popular and which will not be popular after shooting as a live action movie." Surprise and globegroup gave Adrian an evaluation after discussion.
What they said was very reasonable, so Adrian gave up the plan. At the beginning, he only wanted to make the derivative series less ugly. Still, it's enough to attract Fox and Sony Columbia to participate. Adrian also hinted that some valuable superheroes would definitely consider selling them. Needless to say, surprise is a big gold mine now. In addition, News Corp. is a bystander to a large extent. Even if Sony Columbia supports Sony records, it will naturally be eliminated. In the end, Warner was left. They had DC, so they couldn't be surprised. However, the TV network was not wide and there was no suitable program. Moreover, they were still trapped in the quagmire of AOL. Adrian used the reality show "fast forward" suitable for cable TV to finish them.
In addition, Adrian also proposed to exchange Sony Group's support for high-definition DVD format standards. Although it is still 00 years ago, the dispute over standards has already begun, but it is not as fierce as it will be a year or two later. It is also his decision to cooperate with Sony records instead of taking this opportunity to annex it. This is certainly a good opportunity. All the situations are beneficial to AC media, and the other party also has its own chess pieces. If Adrian does not want to raise funds, Adrian still has a lot of money in his hands, but Sony Group may not give up Sony records, even if the benefits of the recording industry are outside the first three items, then this will be another one Troublesome things will affect later plans.So it's better to cooperate. In this way, it's easier to sweep motola out of M é n. of course, there are still some advantages. For example, they hold more shares and have seats on the board of directors, while Sony records can only hold shares. However, Adrian did not let them go completely. Although both sides agreed to carve up the market together - with the acquisition of universal music and MCM records, new universal music will be a large record company with the largest market share and is fully qualified to put forward such a proposal - but after the record industry began to decline, Sony had to take the lead according to the agreement Array to attract fire, AC media as long as waiting to pick up the fruit of the line, this is the advantage of the prophet.
It is because of Adrian's arrangement for Xing, Claude can almost perfectly split them. In fact, many companies are pursuing a strong dual core model with s è complementation. The most famous example is Disney. After Walt Disney and Roy Disney (not Walt's nephew's Roy Disney) founded Disney Company, Walt was responsible for design and production, while his brother Roy was responsible for financial operation and management, The cooperation between them makes Disney animation develop rapidly.
In the golden decade from the early 1980s to the early '94's, Michael Eisner was in charge of creativity and direction planning. Frank Wilson, who understood him and tolerated his odd temper, was in charge of business negotiations. As a result, Disney, which was worth more than one billion yuan, became a large group of tens of billions. Unfortunately, Wilson died in 1994 because of the helicopter crash. Eisner lost a good partner. Disney's management began to be out of balance, and the internal power struggle came out again.
There are many such examples, such as Akio Morita and Yoshida Inoue of Sony. They founded and developed Sony together. But after their death in 1997 and 1999, Sony also began to go downhill. No matter what will happen to AC media in the future, as long as Adrian and Claude continue to cooperate closely, plus cheating devices, it will not be difficult to climb to a higher peak.
"Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief." Claude raised his glass and, as always, after completing the acquisition, he and Adrian Si had a drink in the office to celebrate, but this time it was in Adrian's office.
"Well, aren't you going to start integrating our new global music?" Adrian raised his glass and touched him.
"Oh, give me a break. How much Jing force did I consume during this period? Give me a few days to rest. " Claude complained, "I'm not as laid back as you are."
"Leisurely? I have two films to finish this year, and the later part of the Lord of the rings trilogy, the preparation of the remaining two films for matrix, and a lot of films and TV dramas to be involved in. " Adrian grinned and spread his hand.
"It's convenient for you to decompress, isn't it?" Claude shrugged.
"No, no, no, crow," Adrian chuckled. "At least I won't rent some venues for the models to come and play strip shows..."
"All right, all right, let's not talk about this topic," interrupted Claude.
"Don't worry, crow. Even if the godfather knew about it, he would only reprimand you. You said that he was full of praise for our recent strategic deception." Adrian said leisurely, then thought of what asked: "by the way, eller did not participate in your inexplicable activities."
"Of course not. Everyone knows she's your collection, and Alexander pays attention to it," Claude said, sighing. "Frankly, I'm sorry now, ED, knowing I shouldn't have given it to you. Then again, why do you always make NV people treat you so And still with the knowledge? "
"Because I know what they're thinking," Adrian laughed. "It's a gift, crow. Don't be jealous of me."
"Really, Mr. Adrian, then tell me what Miss Penelope Cruz was thinking at first?" Claude immediately took on a look of great interest.
Adrian did not think Wu, but shrugged his shoulders: "what else can I do? I'm dazed by the temporary * * and Youhu, and get involved in things that she has no ability to intervene in. There are always such stupid NV people in the world."
Even so, he sighed in his heart. According to Penelope's performance, she should also be a smart Nv person with a certain degree of difficulty. Why did she join in after the event like a different person?
He didn't regret anything. After that, he could look at things more objectively, or control himself more. If you do something wrong, you have to pay a price, but in this way, your Spanish collection will have to be vacant.
"But you'll drive her back?" Claude wanted to say something else, but after thinking about it, he just asked.
"What do you think I should do? Leave her here and... " Adrian made a few gestures and Claude laughed.Of course, the premise is that Penelope is smart enough, otherwise it will be hard to say. So, when the news came from Spain that she had fallen out with almodova and announced that she was quitting the entertainment industry, Adrian sighed again. It turned out that Penelope still had a brain. She clearly understood the real meaning of Adrian's saying to her, "don't let me see you again in Hollywood.".
Even if she can pretend to be deaf and dumb and receive some European films, but can't make the whole world change, what's the use of that? What kind of so-called art films have you been shooting all your life? Moreover, Adrian will not give her the chance to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Moreover, he also takes her to the signing ceremony, which makes her offend another media group, so it's better to quit cleanly.
Moreover, Penelope also played a Hu trick, and showed his good behavior in this way. First, he took part in a small Spanish production, and then when he cooperated with almodova, he made an excuse and then quit. Almodova is a man who has further explored Penelope's charm and fell out with him. In addition, the rumor that he came back because of the unfavourable development of Hollywood makes it logical to quit the entertainment industry, which will not be associated with other aspects.
It's a pity, but it's a vacancy. Nothing is perfect. Adrian commented on the news.
He has been staring at Penelope, very clear how she is panicked, like a lost dog back in Spain and what happened. However, the whole thing is not completely over, although she still has some brains to let it go, but the interest must be charged a little.
For example, let the crew of "speed and Ji Qing" who have already finished shooting for the first time, but they don't give an explanation. Let the outside world speculate, and then someone will collect some clues, and then the brain will make up some plots. By then, her reputation in the entertainment industry will be completely destroyed. In addition, there is a share of interest, but he plans to wait a few years to collect it.
"Well, let's get down to business, such as personnel changes. Sony records has helped us dig out several restless guys. We need better people to replace them." Claude changed the subject. "And Eric has helped us a lot this time. We have to show something."
"Of course, of course, if Eric didn't get inside Sony records, we'd have to fix it. They don't know when it's going to be." Adrian nodded. "The art director of new universal music must be his. He is capable and loyal to us instinctively. No one else can be competent for this job except him. If someone from universal music doesn't approve of it, it doesn't matter. I've equipped Eric with the title of legendary music producer."
"So you're going to..." Claude picked his eyebrows.
"That's right. All those classic songs were written with Eric's help." Adrian replied with a smile.
"Well, next, a
C, I plan to transfer Clifton, the deputy director of M é n in the publicity department, to m é n in the music department to take charge of the work, Charles, the director of M é n in the planning department, will be the Secretary of the board of directors, and Kurt, the former Secretary of the board of directors, will come to the head office." Claude went on.
"You can make up your mind about these, I'll..." Adrian suddenly stopped and said, "wait
"What's the matter?" Claude was a little strange.
Adrian didn't answer. He just frowned and was thinking about something. Then, a knock on M é n began. With permission, Charlize came in with the folder.
"Sorry, ED, it's not that I want to disturb you, but this document has to be signed by you and Crowe." She said that, a decent ol dress, plus black s è transparent silk stockings and high-heeled shoes, front and back with a kind of unspeakable Youhu, but it is a pair of indifferent appearance, quite attractive.
"Yes, thank you." Claude took it, looked at it in detail, then signed his name and handed it to Adrian, "don't look. You look at her like that every day. Can't you look at her like this after I'm gone?"
"It's my business what I think." Adrian withdrew his gaze from the placid Charlize and signed his name on the document.
"By the way, Charlie, I have a question." After returning the document to Charlize, Adrian suddenly asked.
"Please say, but I have the right not to answer some overstepping questions and reserve the right to fight back." Said Claude, laughing.
Adrian didn't think Wu shrugged. "Speaking of it, how long have you been my secretary's assistant, Charlie?"
"Seven years and a month, Liz answered.
"Wow," Adrian couldn't help calling out, "you remember so accurately?"
"I have confidence in my memory. If you give me a few minutes, I can set the number to hours." Charlize said in a very flat tone, as if it were a trivial matter.
"No need for this one," Adrian raised his hand and gave a dry cough. "Well, Charley, I'd like to ask, are you interested in aC to be the director of M é n in the planning department? "
Charlize immediately raised his eyebrows, and Claude, beside him, was also surprised by s è.
"I don't think you are controlled by anyone, and I don't have any auditory hallucinations, right?" It took several seconds for Charlize to watch him exhale.
"Oh, of course," Adrian raised his hands and asked again, "so, would you like to be the director of M é n in a
C's planning department, Charlie?"
It was a few more minutes before Charlize gave the answer: "whatever you want."
With that, before he could speak again, NV Lang turned and walked out. This time Claude didn't make a joke about it. As soon as m é N was closed, he asked in a hurry, "are you serious, ed?"
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Adrian stretched out his hands. "Don't tell me, do you think Charlie doesn't have that ability, or do you see what she's done in the last seven years?"
"No, I just Claude made a gesture. "Are you sure you're going to let her out of the office?"
Adrian didn't speak.
"Well," Claude sighed, "if you decide, and Charley does, then I don't have any opinion!"
