The door opened and Adrian didn't look back until Ivanka's voice said, "it's almost time, ED, are you going down now? Or wait a little longer? "

"Just a little bit longer," Adrian went up to her and gazed at her slightly tired face. "You don't have to go. You can have a good night's rest in the room. Jet lag is not so easy. Anyway, we don't talk about work, and we all talk in Chinese. You can't understand it."

"Charley doesn't understand that either." Ivanka rolled her eyes.

Adrian shook his head with a smile, although Charlize was working hard in a

C. after the production of "who is going to marry a millionaire" was postponed because of September 11, she had a new idea. Adrian was going to take time to talk with her, and if it was good, it would be broadcast to n

C. At present, they are short of reality TV. But Ivanka always regarded her as an opponent, whether in work or in bed, so no matter what to fight for.

"Well, if you feel stuffy, you might as well take a walk outside the square, which is one of the largest squares in the world." He pinched her face with a smile.

Adrian's place of stay is the capital hotel. This time-honored hotel is located in the center of the city and adjacent to the Forbidden City. It's five minutes' walk to the square. It's a grand layout. It's worthy of being a century old hotel. If you include the pub in 1900, you can barely claim the title. Because of this, Adrian decided to stay in the capital hotel in addition to the choice of China hotel. Anyway, there were many important people here. The Three Tenors who held a concert in the Forbidden City last year also stayed here.

"By the way, what about Nicole?" Before Ivanka could speak, Adrian asked.

"Rest in the room. Why, go and see her?" Ivanka said, not angry, for these women around Adrian, except that Charlize can make her a little convinced, and then in the relationship with Kate and Sara, plus a lovely lily, and their relationship is also good, other people are not very nice.

However, as Adrian's assistant secretary, she had to deal with them and arrange adjustment and their itinerary for Adrian, so she could not wait to see them again, so she had to keep a straight face all day. From here, we can see the difference between her and Charlize. Although she often does not like some women, even though she is a little arrogant and cold appearance that seems to resist people thousands of miles away, she still has due respect between her words, instead of Ivanka, who clearly says on her face: I don't like you, I only deal with you for the sake of Work.

Of course, Ivanka was born into a wealthy family, and her father was a man who liked to play with others. She didn't like this very much, so she made rules with her father not to date girls younger than her own. So, it's good that she can do what she is like now. She can't ask for more.

"No," Adrian chuckled. "Let her have a good rest. Tomorrow she has an exclusive interview to attend in addition to the premiere of Moulin Rouge."

"I don't understand, ed." Ivanka sighed, "if you want to investigate the Chinese market, you can come here in a big way. There is no need to take attending the premiere of Moulin Rouge in China as an excuse. If you just want to attend the premiere of Moulin Rouge, why don't you keep a low profile and tell the media you're here? "

"Adelaide and I should be good at explaining the direction of negotiation," said Mr. Adelaide, who is in charge of the negotiation with China, and I should not be the leader of the United States for a long time

"In short, you want to be lazy." Ivanka curled his mouth.

"You can say that," Adrian raised his hands. "We have always been developing this way - even as a director, I am still the chairman of the board of directors of AC media. The Chinese people need to publicize themselves internationally, so once they appear in public, there will be a lot of trouble. I didn't bring a professional team here. ”

"after talking for a long time, you still haven't mentioned the purpose of coming here. I don't even know what to prepare for." Ivanka sighed.

"Don't worry, Eni. We can stay for three days at most and then go back. All you need is to improvise and He smiles and looks at the big bed in his eyes, pinches her chin and kisses her.

Ivanka snorted and was about to say something when the doorbell rang, and then a middle-aged man in his early 40s, dressed in a formal suit and rimless glasses, looked very gentle, but his cheeks were slightly concave and his cheekbones protruded, and he had a little bit of a sharp mouth.

"Hello, Mr. Cowell. It's a great honor for you to come. I'm wang Zhongjun." With a warm smile, he stepped forward and held out his hand. He said in fluent English that he was worthy of working in the United States and getting a master's degree in mass media from State University of New York.

"Hello, Mr. Wang. Nice to meet you. I hope this low-key visit has not troubled you." Adrian said in fluent Chinese.From the airport to the hotel, Adrian has been communicating with people in Chinese. He can't have heard of it. But now it seems that he didn't expect that his Chinese would be so fluent. Even Dashan, it's just the standard?

"It's amazing, Mr. Cowell. I didn't know that your Chinese was so good." Wang did not hide his surprise.

"I know a lot about Chinese culture, so I have learned some." Adrian Hun didn't care to smile.

"That's great. It's more convenient to communicate." Wang Zhongjun immediately let him aside, made a gesture of invitation, and then looked at Ivanka.

"Whatever you want, Eni." Adrian spoke in English.

"Yes, sir." After opening the door, Ivanka returned to his expressionless appearance, and at the moment he was more business oriented.

Then, accompanied by Wang Zhongjun and his secretary, as well as the person in charge of AC media's capital office, Adrian took the elevator to the private room of the restaurant. At the same time, some celebrities in the mainland film circle, such as Wang Zhonglei, his younger brother who founded Huayi Brothers with Wang Zhongjun, or Yu Dong, President of Bona film, and Zhang Wei, chairman of new pictures Pingdu is already waiting here.

Adrian came here in a very low-key way, under the signboard of attending the premiere of Moulin Rouge in China, but he didn't want to take advantage of China's accession to the WTO to intervene in the media market in mainland China. No country will allow foreign capital to enter the industry. Even in the United States, non Americans are not allowed to own TV stations. Murdoch had to become an American when he bought fox, let alone China?

It was Murdoch who bought the Chinese channel of satellite TV from Li Zekai in 1993. He was full of joy and wanted to march into the mainland. However, he finally had to accept a series of demands from the mainland to attract funds from Liu Changle and others, and then he was quickly squeezed out of the position of the third shareholder when forming Phoenix Satellite TV. Although he still owns most of the shares of Star Media, his influence is limited to the Pearl River Delta. Indeed, it can be imagined that it is basically impossible to go deep into the mainland. Even if Murdoch married a Chinese wife, he would not be able to stop him from leaving the scene after a few years. Adrian does not want to do useless work.

Therefore, he came to the capital just to have a close look at the film market on the mainland side. Although he had a certain understanding of the film market in his previous life, he looked from the bottom up. Today's identity is different, and the angle of view is also different, so we need to look from the top down. It's just that ten or five years ago, if he wanted to come to the mainland, it would not be so troublesome now. As he said to Ivanka before, although he is now a famous international director, he is also the chairman of the board of directors of AC media. In the eyes of ordinary people, Adrian's big director may be more famous, but at the national level, they only know that he is the head of one of the world's largest media groups.

Although China and the United States have been warming up rapidly after 9 / 11, it is not yet time for him to officially visit China with great fanfare, so we have to find a reason to visit the mainland in a low-key manner. just right. When Moulin Rouge was introduced to the mainland, China Film contacted Nicole through relations, hoping that she could come to China to attend the premiere, and also contacted Adrian. Nicole originally intended to refuse. Like most Westerners, she lacks understanding of China, so she lacks interest. Adrian still talked about the future of China, but most of her suggestions were simple and did not persuade the market.

As for the invitation sent to him, it was rejected, and China film was not so resolute. After all, it was not appropriate for the head of AC media to come to Huawei's film as a director. Therefore, Adrian was not worried that they would feel dissatisfied if he refused and came back quietly.

Of course, the Chinese government will not be unaware of his departure and entry. What's more, he still uses his own private jet, and has informed several private media companies that he has invested in before he comes. Therefore, when Wang Zhongjun introduces a room of people, he introduces a middle-aged man surnamed Chen very vaguely. It seems that he is not from a certain department or bureau, but more likely from a certain department That matches his identity, doesn't it?

Adrian didn't care. After sitting down, he exchanged greetings with them. His fluent Chinese and a few idioms from time to time surprised the whole group. So it's very important to know a foreign language. Think about it. Would they prefer to cooperate with a person who has a general knowledge of the mainland, or with a person who knows enough about China?

At the beginning of the 21st century, the mainland film market is still a virgin land. Although Hollywood films began to land in 1994 and 1995, this vast market has not been fully developed. Adrian clearly remembers an example. A science fiction film with an investment of about 30 million yuan won $21 million at the box office in the first week of its release in North America, and 23 million in the mainland after it was released in China! Although this has something to do with the schedule and the support of the mainland's local media groups, it is enough to show that the Chinese market is huge. Because of this, the Asian villains in Hollywood have turned from Chinese to Korean. Who can't afford the market that can make money?So, although this example is ten years later, it does not prevent Adrian from starting early. In fact, several major Hollywood film companies have been staring at this cake early, otherwise Paramount will not be the first to enter the mainland. Unfortunately, Adrian in the future will be more accurate than them. From 1996 to now, he has invested in Huayi Brothers, Bona film and new pictures by various means. It's a pity that China Film and Huaxia are state-owned enterprises - Huaxia has not been established yet - it can be seen from the long list of shareholders' names that it is impossible to accept foreign investment, otherwise, it will be able to speak up on the quota of imported films.

Of course, these shares are not much, Adrian does not want to attract too much attention, although these are private enterprises, anyway, as long as they have a certain voice.

"China's film market is very broad, and now it has great potential. The release of Titanic a few years ago showed everything. So when it is fully explored, it will only have a vast family. Especially with the continuous development of China's economy, more and more people will enter the cinema to watch movies. " At the wine table, Adrian foreshadows the presidents of these private film and television companies with bright future.

This meal is specially prepared by Wang Zhongjun and others. It is a complete Chinese style round table banquet. However, in order to take care of Adrian, he was asked whether he would like to order the alcoholic drinks he was used to. Although the previous life was drowned, but he did not hesitate to choose white wine, this occasion can take out absolutely the best wine.

Sure enough, as soon as the bottle is opened, the aroma of wine will immediately overflow. There is no doubt that it is the top Maotai. Although the Panamanian gold medal is still suspected, he did hear from an old man in his previous life. When he went to Guizhou on business in the late 1950s, he used his relationship to get a small bottle in Maotai distillery. As soon as the hotel opened, other guests came to ask what kind of wine it was and why it was so fragrant.

Maybe there is a suspicion of exaggeration, but Maotai is indeed a top-grade product. In addition, the dishes are rich, luxurious and delicious. All kinds of well-known dishes are served like water, which may be slightly different from that of special restaurants, such as roast duck, but not much. It must be admitted that Chinese people are really good at eating. A piece of boiled cabbage looks simple, but it tastes fresh, tender and delicious, which makes Adrian sigh.

Although he didn't say a word about praising the food, the expression of undisguised satisfaction was the best compliment. In this way, Adrian seemed approachable and made Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei feel closer. Sometimes, without too much language, a small action can pull into their relationship with each other, thus affecting them to listen to their own words.

Speaking of several companies, he is the most optimistic about Huayi Brothers. This is not only because of the future, but also because of the analysis of the current situation. With similar background, Huayi Brothers has the greatest potential at present.

Not to mention the date of its establishment, not to mention the time of its development, the mainland's film industry is still in a very immature stage, and even there is no complete circle - although it will soon be established - Hong Kong and Taiwan are relatively chaotic, but the process from production to distribution is very complete. Therefore, the film industry in mainland China is still in a director oriented way Stage. Only with the support of an excellent selling director, the company can have a great influence in the film market, and Huayi Brothers just has such a director in his hands. Yes, Feng Xiaogang.

"Big shot" is a very interesting movie. Yes, I can understand all kinds of ridicule and allusions in it. Both ge you and Yingda have performed very well, but Donald has no bright spots. " After dinner, in the special reception hall, Adrian was drinking tea and talking to Feng Xiaogang.

As a partner of Huayi Brothers, Feng Xiaogang was naturally qualified to attend the dinner and meeting. It was the first time that he learned that part of Huayi Brothers' shares belonged to AC media, a large media group. In fact, Wang brothers did not know for a long time. Adrian used some means to indirectly control the shares in order to avoid butterfly effect.

"Thank you. If you don't mind, I'll be able to boast." Feng Xiaogang is very respectful. After all, the person in front of him is not only the chairman of the board of directors of the international media group, but also a well-known director in the world. He is very approachable and understands Chinese culture. He talks as if he is talking to a pure Chinese. He should do this in every way.

"In that case, did Mr. Cowell consider helping to distribute the film in North America?" A group of people, Wang Zhonglei suddenly so direct asked.

Adrian took a look at him and then chuckled, "think about it."

As soon as this remark was made, several people were surprised. Feng Xiaogang was even more excited. If the "big shot" could be released in North America, he would be an international director. In recent years, besides "Red Sorghum" and "Farewell My Concubine", what other movies have been shown in the United States? And the box office is very general, if he can rely on the distribution of AC media to get a lot of box office, the impact of this can be imagined.

"Although this film completely shows the image of Chinese citizens, which may not meet the taste of North American audiences, many satirical places are in place. Therefore, the first thing we need is an excellent translation. As long as we can accurately translate the charm, such as the two classic lines at the end, I believe it can arouse people's resonance." Adrian said with a chuckle."Mr. Cowell, are you planning to introduce Chinese films to the United States in a planned way?" A person who couldn't sit still finally jumped out of the room. Zhang Yimou, the partner of Zhang Weiping, chairman of new pictures, came back from Jiuzhaigou studio after receiving a phone call.
