"I was going to let them attend the Cannes Film Festival next year." In Claude's office, Adrian explained and complained.
"Don't mind, ED, we're not unprepared," Claude waved, not particularly concerned. "I know how you feel, but a lot of things are like that, and not every step will go your way."
"Yes, I know, just..." Adrian made a gesture. "Well, I'm just a bit surprised. I should have estimated that."
If you think about it carefully, it is normal that Michael Moore could launch Fahrenheit 911 so quickly and bring it to Cannes. In his previous life, he was forced to attend Cannes Film Festival in 2004. First of all, the theme of attacking the government is difficult to attract investment. Secondly, there is a conflict between Miramax and its parent company, Disney. Eisner even forcibly ordered the Weinstein brothers not to participate in the production of the film by administrative means, and its distribution is far away.
These factors accumulated and caused controversy within a certain range. Only then did Fahrenheit 911 participate in Cannes Film Festival, and then won the Golden Palm Award for various reasons.
Now, Miramax is far more harmonious with each other than Disney in his previous life under the banner of AC media, so Harvey Weinstein is bringing Moore to look for Adrian at the Sundance Film Festival.
Then Adrian didn't agree to Moore's request. But not only did he acquiesce in Weinstein's approach, but he also offered a proposal to reach the summit. In this way, Weinstein will certainly let go and investment will not be a problem. In this case, Michael Moore must be extremely enthusiastic and energetic. In addition, he is also a guy who is not willing to be lonely. He can let the public see it earlier, reveal the inside story earlier, awaken the public earlier, and prepare for ousting bush from office as soon as possible. Why wait until next year? And then there was the Oscar for best documentary. And the final outbreak of the Iraq war as a catalyst.
Adrian didn't expect, or had, an idea, but then he left it behind. He was used to giving a general idea of a plan and then letting others take responsibility for the details and taking action. Now that we have arranged for the 2004 competition and we have explained Weinstein, we just need to wait until next year. More importantly, next year is an election year, if Moore really wants to pull Bush out of the presidency. It's obviously better to have Fahrenheit 9 / 11 released next year.
Therefore, with the spirit of "fearlessness", Moore finally completed the documentary film and sent it to Cannes for exhibition in May. Then because this behavior was tacit a few months ago, Weinstein didn't inform Adrian, and eventually there was Passive situation.
That's right. Although Adrian informed Claude of the incident after consulting with Weinstein, and made a series of arrangements around it, they were all based on the release of Fahrenheit 911 in 2004. Now such a move is tantamount to pushing the unprepared AC media to the forefront of the storm, and many plans of this year need to be revised.
It's OK. The corresponding plan can be used directly, and when it suddenly reaches the summit, it will be released quickly. Compared with the previous life, the controversy caused will be smaller, and the pressure on AC media will be smaller. In addition, the plan was always adjusted, so Claude didn't care. In any case, Miramax is the scapegoat. Even if it is only nominal, it will share a lot of attention and can still achieve the purpose of signaling to the Bush administration.
From this point of view, Adrian was right about Moore at the beginning, and the angry youth was not a special "angry youth". Of course, it is also possible that he overestimated the influence of his documentary. I think that it will arouse more people's sympathy and change the result of next year's general election by spending one year fermenting and striving to be shortlisted for Oscar again.
Unfortunately, let's not say how objective his documentary is. The problems have been analyzed last time. As far as the style of public opinion is concerned, it is not in the hands of people like him, so
"Well, let's talk about something else. Have you seen the opinion paper I asked Annie to sort out about the flash player developed by Macromedia?" Adrian changed the subject.
"Yes, but isn't it supposed to be for Victor? He's the chairman of the Internet company. " Claude raised his eyebrows and said, half jokingly.
"Come on, crow. I'm talking to you about business." Ed laughed and shook his head. "Don't tell me, you don't see the key. If this website succeeds, the whole network environment will become more unimpeded once again. If we can capture most of the market like Facebook, we will seize the opportunity of the Internet age again. "
"Well, well, I see." Claude laughed and raised his hands. Then, looking at him, he suddenly looked nostalgic. "Frankly, ED, I always remember when you described the future to me I'm glad to be able to watch this, to see your predictions come true. "
Hearing these sincere words, Adrian could not help sighing: "without your support, I can't realize these ideas one by one. Without the support of Godfather and uncle, we can't do this, can't we?"Claude sat up straight with a smile: "so, if you have this kind of thing in the future, remember to ask Victor, because I will give him the greatest support."
"You fellow." Adrian rolled his eyes immediately.
There is no doubt that YouTube will be ready to put on the agenda. Compared with Facebook, which can only show value after a certain number of users, YouTube can expand the business of AC media more quickly. Not to mention anything else, the effect of a viral marketing movie trailer is far higher than that of other media. It can be said that after the emergence of youtube, virus marketing in the network era is really established and reaches its peak.
So Adrian insisted on buying Macromedia. It also bought some shares of adobe because it confused the company. Now Facebook's operation is so good that you can listen to it. Then Adrian consulted and discussed with Macromedia's programmers. After confirming that the latest version of flash player could meet the requirements, Adrian exchanged views with victor.
Victor's talent has now been fully developed, not to mention the fact that he abandoned Adrian's recommendation that Andy Allman, the bespectacled man in the original Facebook trio, likes to show his ambition. Blair Vuitton, who looks ugly but passionate and energetic, was chosen as his deputy, while Andy Allman knew it without complaining at all.
So the rest of the matter is to get Claude's unreserved support. Now the final thing has been settled. There is only one of the three key websites left, and there is no technical problem with this. It can be started after YouTube goes online and develops steadily. It should not exceed the end of next year at the latest.
So the time entered June. The weather in Los Angeles is getting hotter, but it doesn't prevent critics from discussing a documentary in the media. In a sense, the French gave Americans a big slap in the face when they got the Palmetto. Of course, this slap is still a little small compared with the one that couldn't be released for a long time in a previous life.
But anyway. After all, a slap in the face is a slap in the face. Even if there are not a few French judges, everyone knows what's going on. Therefore, the Conservatives supporting the Republican Party in the United States began to criticize Moore and his "Fahrenheit 911" on various occasions and belittled it as worthless. This has happened once before. Moore is not a low-key person. Although he needs to work overtime to catch up with Cannes Film Festival in May, he still takes time to publicize his new work after winning the best documentary Oscar.
At that time, although there were many people who supported him, their strength was not very high. After all, they took 911 as an example. For Americans, it was a big wound. It's better to keep some before seeing the details, so during the period from April to the first half of May, the support for him is very small.
But now it's different. Fahrenheit 911 won the Palme d'Or at Cannes Film Festival. According to the people who have seen it, the whole documentary is basically attacking the Bush administration and does not touch too many minefields. Naturally, those who support the Democratic Party will come out and debate with those who support the Republican Party. As a result, more and more people applauded Fahrenheit 911.
In any case, this does not harm the national interests. The documentary is only aimed at the government and some Republican people. Moreover, the reputation of the documentary has been damaged. If the government suppresses it too hard, it will arouse the public's doubts. Therefore, it will certainly stand on the sidelines temporarily to show the democracy and freedom of the United States. If they don't speak out at this time, when will they wait?
As for the AC media, which initiated the crime, they still maintain a neutral face. However, according to the grapevine, the two bosses were totally unaware of Miramax's action and were very angry in private. Of course, not everyone believes that a lot of people like watching good plays sneer at it. Don't they know? How is that possible? Miramax is just a scapegoat for the Bush administration's embarrassment.
They have some motives. Don't forget that when AC media acquired at & T broadband, it was blocked. But as soon as George W. Bush came to power, this deal became a deal. It is obviously impossible to say whether there is something fishy in it by referring to the performance of ABC in the late years of the University in 2000. However, in the past two years, the Bush administration has been in a hot fight with the News Corporation, which is actively close to each other, and has given news group a lot of special treatment. However, there is competition between News Corporation and AC media in many aspects. Therefore, it is very possible for AC media to take this opportunity to express their dissatisfaction.
However, it was later reported that the Weinstein brothers and Claude, the president of AC media, seemed to have a bad time after their meeting. It is said that the Weinstein brothers have been very ugly since they returned to Miramax. There's a lot of evidence for this news. At least Harvey Weinstein's face darkened when he was mentioned at parties. Then, with a few words of discontent, he turned the topic aside.
But interestingly, AC media did not punish Miramax. Although they also thought that it was very bad for them to produce and release Fahrenheit 911 privately, they did not order them to give up the documentary, let alone take the Weinstein brothers and exchange other people to control Miramax. In short, it was ambiguous.Therefore, these news finally turned out to be that AC media did not know about it and was very dissatisfied with the Weinstein brothers. But Miramax was an industry after all, and he took the opportunity to show his neutrality - that is, to express his dissatisfaction - so he finally acquiesced to it. It has to be said that it is basically in line with Adrian's plan.
"I need to make it up, ed. you don't know how hard I've been at this time, pretending to be discontented every time I'm in public, as if I had a deep hatred for you, and I didn't want to hide in the office like Bob. I'm just a producer. Ed, not an actor. " Harvey Weinstein came from the phone to Adrian's ear with a voice of complaint.
"You've done very well, Harvey, very well, and I'm happy, so keep going. At least until Fahrenheit 9 / 11 is released. " Adrian, who is lying in a chair by the pool, holds the phone, with the other hand on the waist of Lin Xilei, who is constantly moving up and down on her body in a bikini.
"What? Don't be kidding, you know, the distribution must at least... " Before Weinstein went on, Adrian turned off his cell phone and began to hiss in his lower body.
Lin Xilei wiggled more. Groaning and rubbing his hair, although the bikini is still soft, but the jubilant beat makes people produce higher * * than none. Finally, she let out a long groan, tensed her body, continued for two seconds and then climbed on Adrian.
"Sorry. Boss. " After the gentle kiss, Lin Xilei said this in a low voice with her eyes open.
"It doesn't matter. You have compensation opportunities anyway." Adrian didn't care, and then he looked at the two women who were really playing in the pool.
Lin Zhiling and Gao Yuanyuan, who are also wearing bikini, are fighting a water fight. They don't seem to notice Adrian and Lin Xilei on the reclining chair, but actually they all look at this side from time to time. The difference is that Lin Zhiling is used to it, and Gao Yuanyuan will blush more or less.
When it's soft down below. After cleaning up and putting on his swimming trunks, Adrian plunges into the pool and reaches the two women.
"Yuanyuan, are you feeling better now?" After embracing them from left to right, he asked with a smile, "as I said, swimming is one of the best ways to relax in summer."
"Well..." Gao Yuanyuan lowered her head and looked embarrassed.
"That's not true," Lin interrupted coyly. "Yuanyuan is in a good mood because she talked to her family before. Men always like to take all the credit for themselves."
"Is that so?" Adrian raises his eyebrows and looks at Gao Yuanyuan.
"Not really. Sister Zhiling just said one thing. I'm really glad to hear that my parents are safe, but swimming is also very relaxing." Gao Yuanyuan swam and explained in her eyes.
"You can't please both sides, Yuanyuan." Lin Xilei, who had also cleaned up, splashed into the pool and rushed over. She grabbed Gao Yuanyuan's arm and said with a smile.
"Yes, I was just talking for you, Yuanyuan." Lin Zhiling also playfully grabbed her other arm, "so I will punish you."
Gao Yuanyuan realized that she was wrong, but before she made any action, Shuanglin had already lifted her up in the water, lifted her up to the water and faced Adrian, then pulled her thigh apart, as if carrying a gift. Gao Yuanyuan struggled a few times, but quite powerless, can only look at Adrian timidly.
"It's wrong for you to bully Yuanyuan like this." Although Adrian said this, she pasted it on Gao Yuanyuan's body and blocked her mouth. She had not enjoyed herself before. After several times, Adrian held it up again, and immediately began to have in-depth communication with Gao Yuanyuan.
After that, of course, it was three women who took turns fighting from the pool to the shore and back to the water, which had happened more than once and twice.
It's always easy to learn to be bad. Gao Yuanyuan is alone in Los Angeles, and she can't return home because of the epidemic. She can only learn about her family by phone at any time. In addition, there is a lot of pressure on her performance training. After all, she was born in a non professional class, and her acting skills can only be said to be average. Moreover, the domestic requirements for performance are different from Hollywood's requirements for performance, although it was ordered by Adrian She played a role in "Battlestar Galactica", but Lin Xilei, who lived with her after coming to the United States, instilled in her the idea that "although the director of miracles ordered her to act, if she was not competent, she would have to hand over the role.".
In addition, although she has tried hard to integrate into American society, her social circle is relatively narrow, which makes it easy to accumulate negative emotions and make people feel depressed. So, under the guidance of Adrian, she has a good way to vent, yes, * *.
After being sent to the cloud again and again in bed, Gao Yuanyuan constantly hinted to herself that "there's nothing that can't be done." Gao Yuanyuan also gradually let go of herself, from only willing to be in the bedroom to living room outside in the sun, from only with Adrian to being seen by Lin Xilei and Lin Zhiling.Moreover, she lives in Lin Xilei's villa, and Lin Xilei does not shy away from the relationship between herself and Adrian. Gao Yuanyuan bumps into Adrian and Lin Xilei in the villa more than once, so the three people's walk is just as natural.
Next, the top and back also fell. Apart from a few friendly competitions, most women were passed by Adrian three times. How could Gao Yuanyuan be an exception? Moreover, this greatly stimulated her. No matter it was because of the broken jar or other reasons, she began to play more freely. Games such as uniform playing and photo taking were not a problem. It was even faster to accept Lin Zhiling's joining in and play 4P together.
