In September, the popularity of the film market has finally declined. Although there will be a little bit later, it has declined from the peak to the bottom for the time being. - - so "hero" was selected at this time. The big production in front of us has entered a period of fatigue, while the film aimed at the end of summer vacation has not been released yet, which just fills the gap.
This is very normal. Although hero has the name of the best foreign language film Oscar, it has also done a lot of publicity in the early stage, and most of the critics have praised it. But after all, it is a Chinese film, and it can only be watched with subtitles. There are some doubts in the global aspect, so it is understandable to put it at this time. However, they were soon relieved that the film made 21 million in North America in its first week with 2000 theaters in place.
Generally speaking, as long as the first few weeks are almost the same as the first few weeks of the box office, it's worth digging up the potential.
However, these are not what Adrian needs to pay attention to. He has confidence in hero. Although it is different from the original version, and the release time is one year earlier than the original version, crouching tiger, Hidden Dragon arouses American curiosity about martial arts culture. In addition, it has done a good job in publicity, and the box office in North America will never lose to the original.
Maybe the most box office is equal to the cost of purchasing the distribution rights, but don't forget that this is a buyout. The profits from DVD sales are all global.
So at this time he went to Las Vegas. It's not to be a distraction. Although he didn't accompany the women to visit, gambling city is very close to California, but it's the first time he came alone. And the reason for this, of course, is work. Jeffrey carsenberg is in Las Vegas talking about a business.
"Steven has already told me, he agrees with you, but I don't think it's necessary. You admit that our animation studio is still promising, ed. I've reviewed the production plan. The second film of Shrek is already on RI, and I believe this animation will bring the studio back to life. " In the casenberg suite, the bald man with glasses said.
This guy. Adrian couldn't help laughing. Did he show weakness when he came to Las Vegas to see him?
Before, after entrusting Spielberg to deliver the message, he had a stable period of time before he made a phone call with karsenberg. After learning that he was in the gambling city, Adrian simply came to interview him. Although he showed his sincerity, he also gave him a much-needed impression.
"It's going to happen sooner or later, Jeffrey," Adrian said with a smile. "With all due respect, DreamWorks is doing well. But it's not easy to expand. You know, collectivization is the trend of media companies, so whether expansion or not is not optimistic, so what can't be left behind? "
Karsenberg is a smart guy. Although the three giants of DreamWorks have some idealism, he should have a lot of qualities to be qualified as CEO of DreamWorks. Adrian directly pointed out the topic. Yes, he just wanted DreamWorks Animation Studio.
"Yes. I admit you're saying it's possible that with the new 3D animation, the studio will be reborn - but maybe not. Nobody can talk about the future, can they? The most likely scenario is that DreamWorks maintains a good momentum in film and television production, and the studio has come back to life with the new animation, which is the best case. then. In the film and television loss, animation studio also continued to lose money, this is the worst case. And, film and television are good, animation studios continue to lose money and film and television are losing money, while animation studios are operating well. " Adrian smiles and raises his hands.
"In the best case, I don't need to say," he continued, "but if it's the middle two, I don't think anyone would like to take over if they want to separate out at that time. As for the last one, there may be a lot of people who want to take over."
Then Adrian stopped, still looking at carsenberg with a certain air.
"I know," the bald man said in silence and shrugged, "but there's nothing wrong with that. It's not too late to talk about separation at that point."
"It's your work, Jeffrey," Adrian frowned. "And you can't tell the shareholders that way, do you? There's not only one way to beat Disney. "
"You seem well prepared, ed." Karsenberg took his glasses off and squinted at Adrian, who laughed and said nothing.
The advantage of talking to smart people is that some things don't need to be said too clearly. Adrian's meaning is very clear. He is also one of the shareholders of DreamWorks and has representatives on the board of directors. Although he is only involved in the management of RI, he is fully qualified to make this decision at the board of directors. Unlike AC media, DreamWorks has a character who can make a final decision. Therefore, if he really wants to start, even if he fails to achieve his goal, he can also cause serious consequences to DreamWorks.
What's more, the relationship between DreamWorks and AC media is very close. Once the cooperation is stopped, it will definitely hurt our muscles and bones, and give others the opportunity to take advantage of it. If Adrian makes a hostile acquisition, it will be difficult for them to escape AC media unless they can find another media group to compete with it. Even if he takes a step back and does not seek control of DreamWorks, but if he does not separate the animation studio until later, he will definitely seek complete control instead of the current form of joint stock with them.Yes, "it's your effort" and "it's not the only way to beat Disney." that means that karsenberg can continue to be in charge of everything in the animation studio. Adrian wants to monopolize the Hollywood 3D animation market. In short, the separated studio can still be held by them, but he wants to be a major shareholder. And has a certain degree of control.
This is a big concession from Adrian's current power, and he has a good reputation in this respect. So far, at least, both Pixar and blue sky studio have created a lot of Zi you degrees.
"I need a little time to think about it, ed." Kasenberg finally said.
It can be understood that the profits of animated films are too big. The profits generated by a popular animation are at least several times of those of a big production with similar box office. Naturally, karsenberg will not give up easily.
"No problem. It happens that I'm going to stay in Las Vegas for a few days. You have plenty of time to think about it. " Adrian smiles.
Let karsenberg think for himself. Anyway, he has made it clear that DreamWorks Animation Studio is determined to win. In fact, it doesn't matter to wait any longer. Kasenberg also said that "Shrek 2" has been approved. As long as DreamWorks Animation Studio returns to the ranks of 3D animation, the profit can be expected. In addition, they are supported by AC media in other aspects. But maybe there will be another loss similar to Pearl Harbor. At that time, even if karsenberg didn't want to, he had to take the initiative to separate it out. At that time, it was not too late.
But Adrian didn't want to share it with more people. By that time, everyone could see the future of DreamWorks Animation Studio. With more other funds, he could not achieve his plan to monopolize the 3D animation film market.
Besides, karsenberg has few choices. Even if he wants to be separated, he doesn't want to have too much money, and Adrian still knows the truth. what's more. Although he has confidence in his own animation studio, he is not sure how far he can go in the future. Moreover, due to changes in some factors, the studio has made a relatively large loss in 2D animation.
Adrian's advantage in information is obvious. In the first ten years of the 21st century, North America and even the whole world. Basically, Pixar, DreamWorks and blue sky studio dominate the animation film market, and blue sky studio is limited by its scale. Basically, Pixar and DreamWorks are competing. Although ten years later, the animation studios trained by each film company began to work slowly, but this pattern still maintained.
Think about it. If the three studios are in their hands, how much profit will be made and how much influence AC media will have. That's one of the reasons why he'd come to Las Vegas to talk to karsenberg.
"Fifteen o'clock, big." With the Dutch officer opened the gambling equipment, inside two six point one three point dice very obvious exposed.
"You lost again." The gambler next to him burst out laughing.
Adrian shrugged his shoulders and let the Dutch officials take away the chips, and then in the new round, he threw the last 2000 to the top of 15 points. This kind of gambling method is meaningless, so the 2000 has disappeared.
"You're in bad luck, man. You should have stopped when you lost the second one." Another gambler shook his head and said, as if in his regret.
"It doesn't matter." Adrian gave a friendly smile, then got up and left. He only exchanged 20000 chips. He won two small chips and doubled them. But he lost all of them soon. No wonder the people next to him would say so.
But Adrian doesn't care. He doesn't like gambling, especially this kind of gambling. It's OK to spend a little money to improve his mood. He has to gamble like some movies Well, forget it. For him of two generations, with so many years of training, the problem of rational thinking has been engraved in the bone marrow. Adrian has not gambled, but it must have a 70% chance to win. Therefore, no matter Las Vegas, grand Atlantic City or other gambling resorts, do not want to make his money.
From Caesar Palace's casino, Adrian leisurely toured along the street. When he came to the corner of the street and looked back, he suddenly remembered what happened in Caesar Palace when he visited Las Vegas. Although Julia and Zeta Jones did not object to his handling, they were somewhat uncomfortable, but they were used to it now, so they would not care if they met her on his private plane.
After training, Leah Dishan has been officially on the plane as a substitute to continue to study in medical school. As the new fourth stewardess, after some training by Lin Xilei and the full development of Adrian in bed, Leah has been very honest and obedient. She has already realized that everything is in the hands of this person. So I always try to show myself in front of him.
For example, in a special party led by Eliza to celebrate her first boarding as a newcomer, although she was attacked by three other women, she still fought back under Adrian's watch, and she was very clever only to watch Eliza, the sponsor, chased her hard and defeated her completely in 69. However, after this contest, she and Eliza became good friends. Every time when several people went together, Eliza couldn't bear it. She would volunteer to take over.ok The reason for thinking of this is mainly because he is currently alone in Las Vegas. For Adrian, this situation has not occurred in the past two years.
If you find a chick under the bed again tonight, it's the first time to do it. He had such an idea in his mind, and then he heard the noise coming from the side.
Looking for sound, it was a pair of young men and women, wearing sunglasses. He was arguing with a man like the boss of a small shop on the street. Adrian was a little surprised and raised his eyebrows to go away, but after thinking about it, he still walked over: "he means, this gadget costs 10 dollars, not 8 dollars."
He speaks French. In fact, their quarrel is very simple. It's not very good for young men and women from France. RI often understands the conversation, but it's a bit troublesome if there are some slang words. And this shop is just a small shop, unlike those big hotels which have special waiters to deal with foreign guests, it is inevitable that there will be misunderstandings in communication.
"Ten dollars for this one? That's a joke After the young man understood, he complained that although the girl seemed to want this doll, he still returned it and said no.
Adrian immediately helped translate this sentence back, although the three big five thick shopkeeper frowned very dissatisfied. But I didn't say anything more and took the things away.
"Thank you, sir. If it wasn't for you, you might have to report to Jing." After solving the problem, the young man and his girlfriend thank Adrian.
"It's no big deal. It's just that there's a communication problem. If you want to buy a souvenir. Each hotel has a special counter, which may be more expensive, but the service is very good. Places like this are generally places where people go shopping for goods. " Adrian explained to them.
"Your French is very good. Are you French?" The girl asked curiously.
"No, beautiful lady, I'm American." Adrian smiles.
"If you don't mind, sit down and talk." The young man looked around and pointed to the open-air Cafe not far away.
Adrian had nothing to do now, so he agreed.
"Do you come out to travel?" Asked Adrian casually as he sat down and asked for a cup of coffee to get rid of the waiter.
"Well That's right. " The French girl replied. She took off her sunglasses and laughed. But the French guy immediately said, "in fact, we're going to see if Las Vegas is suitable for a grand wedding."
"You want to get married?" Adrian was a little surprised. "If I'm right, you won't be more than Wait
He looked at the girl, and suddenly narrowed her eyes. She had a beautiful look and a little bit of temptation. Dark brown and black hair was very suitable for her. If the hairline could be lower, it would be perfect.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend, but where have we met?" Adrian asked abruptly.
As soon as we met, we asked a man's girlfriend, which would make people unhappy. However, the young man was not angry. Instead, he laughed with pride and hugged his girlfriend: "look, honey, your fame has spread all over the United States."
The girl grinned a little embarrassed, then held out her hand: "Hello, my name is alige, alige yakotai, this is my fiance, Jeremy Hartley."
"Ah, I remember the famous French singer who covered Madonna's" beautiful island, "Adrian's eyes flashed." Madonna once praised you for singing well. "
"Really?" The French girl named alige opened her eyes wide, revealing the excited God s è, but at the same time, she had some doubts.
"Of course, although she didn't like to talk to me, she did Adrian laughed, then remembered something and introduced himself in the puzzled eyes of the young couple: "by the way, my name is Adrian. Adrian Cowell is a Hollywood film director and producer."
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Cowell." Hartley said this, then took a breath, some can not believe to look at Adrian.
Next to him, alijie also responded and grew up with her mouth.
"You say You said You are the The miracle director? " Chatley stammered.
"If no one else in Hollywood is called that again, it's me." Adrian smiles and pulls out his business card, the one with the director's name on it, not the one with the chairman of AC media's board.
"Oh, my God," she exclaimed after the card was confirmed. "Are you really a miracle director? You are really a miracle director
Although alijie knocked him awkwardly beside her, she felt that his fussy reaction was a little impolite, but she could not help casting excited and excited eyes to Adrian."Calm down, man. We're on the street now." Adrian woke up with a smile.
"Oh, yes, of course, I just Some excitement, some excitement. " Taking two more deep breaths, Hartley finally calmed down. After all, he was still under 20 years old.
But aliga doesn't care that much.
"May I have your autograph?" She found the pen and the boy for the first time and handed it over, her eyes shining. (to be continued)
