The king of Hollywood 250_ The king of Hollywood_ Even if Sophie Marceau won the best actress as a French actress, and even if the miracle director got the best director and the best film again, it still could not violate the rules. Of course, the relationship between the miracle girls and the miracle directors has always been a hot topic for discussion and will continue to be discussed.
Well, in fact, with the exception of some critics and filmmakers, people basically don't care about Adrian's best director and best movie. Everyone knows that he has created many miracles. Everyone knows that he has been an Oscar regular for several years. Everyone knows that the Lord of the rings trilogy and the "poor" Matrix trilogy, which the director of miracles himself said, has caused great repercussions around the world. Most fans think that the adaptation is very good, and everyone knows him Any movie can be made Isn't it normal for him to take the best director and the best movie?
As for the critics' criticism of Sophie, oh, there will be such comments every year, at most this year. At the beginning, they criticized Monica, but did the college withdraw it? Just have a look. So, instead of discussing this, it is more meaningful to discuss which miracle girl will be promoted by the director of miracle next year.
"Speaking of it, these people don't seem to count Nada in the wonder girl business because of the smoke I throw out? It must be interesting to wait until the end of the year. " Adrian said as he browsed the web with his mouse.
"Isn't that what you want to see?" Claude, standing in front of the French window, replied. Then he waved back and said, "Hey, did you really think about it, ed?"
"Don't we agree?" Adrian raised his head and spread his hands.
"Of course not. There is no doubt that Comcast will continue to be its broadband provider, but..." Claude pursed his lips. "Do you think it's an opportunity for us?"
"You want to buy Disney?" Adrian picked his eyebrows.
"Why not? There is no doubt that Eisner is about to step down. Even if he can finally stop Comcast's hostile takeover, "Claude said quickly," it's doomed that Roy Disney is not a qualified businessman since he kicked the last Disney man out of the board. "
"So we're going to help them out, and Eisner has to turn a blind eye, right?" Adrian takes it and frowns.
Although a few years ago, AC media suddenly seized at & T broadband, which Comcast was optimistic about, it did not stop them from thinking of transforming themselves into a media group. So when Disney started civil strife, they took the opportunity to make a hostile takeover. Eisner would not, of course, agree, but those on the board who are starting to stir up over Roy Disney's departure don't think so, and Comcast's offer is high.
Comcast didn't spend too much time and money on at & T broadband, while Disney was smaller than in previous generations because of the competition of AC media. Although it has become more compact and more efficient, it has not been so easy for them to fight Comcast in the past life, let alone now. But there are advantages and disadvantages, when Eisner asked for help from Redstone and Claude. They all agreed.
In the previous life, Lisner considered resisting Comcast's hostile takeover through a merger and acquisition. He didn't need to really do so, but as long as he made a gesture, but after he found Lei Shidong, the latter explicitly rejected his proposal. At that time Viacom had CBS and Disney had ABC. If it does, Comcast can make a big deal of regulatory hurdles.
However, the ABC originally belonged to Disney is now owned by AC media, so there is no such concern. Then, with Viacom and AC media making a gesture, Disney has the strength to turn Comcast out of the door. In any case, most of the top media groups in the world have developed in this field from the beginning, including the young AC media. Therefore, as Claude said before, it is more appropriate for Comcast to be an operator, which can be regarded as a common hatred to some extent.
However, Adrian did not think that Claude really had the idea of putting Disney in his pocket.
"I object." After closing his eyes and thinking for a moment, Adrian gave his answer, "we don't need it."
"No need?" Claude frowned, and it was clear that the answer did not quite fit his mind.
"Yes, we have Disney, and we also have what Disney doesn't have. So why do we need Disney?" Adrian said, frankly, he was a little moved at the beginning. Anyway, the old Disney brand is enough to attract people, and their operation ability is not bad.
However, everything has its advantages and disadvantages, especially in this level of acquisition. Although Adrian is relatively mediocre in business, he has accumulated a lot of experience over the years. What's more, he can see the future. Therefore, in his opinion, there is no need for AC media to acquire Disney."Very simple, the market," Claude said immediately. "Disney occupies a considerable share of the market for children and teenagers. They have inherent advantages in this market. Although we have made a lot of efforts and made good progress with your support, it will take some time to reach their present level. In that case, wouldn't it be better to include them in our system? What's more, Disney has a long history. "
Adrian couldn't help laughing when he heard the last sentence. He understood Claude's idea. In a way, he believed in the reason why he was moved by himself.
"I had their financial situation analyzed in detail. It is true that if we succeed in the acquisition, we will have to bear a lot of debt, but the burden is not important for us who are in good operation, and it is worth it. " Claude went on.
"I believe that, crow, since you said it, there must be no problem, but my concern is not in it." Adrian organized the words and said, "you know, our future is not here."
"Yes, yes. I know that our future lies in the Internet. You've said it hundreds of times, ED, "Claude was a little upset," but it doesn't conflict with the acquisition of Dinis, is it? "
"I remember when Eisner asked us for help. The same message was sent to News Corp., but Murdoch made it very clear that they would not consider this, "Adrian didn't pay any attention to his performance." yes, I know. Although AC media can basically rank first in the media industry, News Corporation has always been catching up closely. If it does not try to maintain the momentum, it will be overtaken by them. But, Claude, sometimes we should also look at the opponent's thinking. Yes, Disney will allow us to expand our scale again, but as the saying goes, cunning mice are easy to die, and blind expansion can easily drag us down. "
At this point, he paused, carefully observed Claude's look, and then went on: "Disney is doing very well in the youth market. But we've done a good job, and I've got several good ideas. Why can't we wait to eat this delicious cake? Our future lies in the Internet. I have said it many times. Google has confirmed that they are going to be listed this year, and it will certainly become the most eye-catching it stock in recent years. Not to mention that Victor has run Facebook, youtube and just launched twitter very well. "
Claude showed a thoughtful expression, which let Adrian breathe a sigh of relief: "in this respect, we have walked in front of other media groups, which is the most important thing to manage. Why do we have to stare at Disney? It is better for them to appear in front of us as independent media groups than to let us be in the forefront of the storm. "
Finally, he stood up and concluded, "we're still young, crow. That's our biggest advantage. We're already legendary."
This is what Adrian really wants to say. Just as most Americans are always subconsciously envious of European history, Claude also hopes that the group can have more qualified companies. AC media has always been the most despised place is young, from the beginning of the small company development to the present scale is only a decade ago, no details has been one of their labels, even after the acquisition of global, Polaroid will not be able to take off.
This is another important reason that Claude wants to buy Disney.
Adrian thought that at the beginning, but because of his previous life experience, he was very clear that the inside information was sometimes a glory, but sometimes it was a burden. Just like people, when they are young, they are always impulsive and dare to fight. When they are old, when they see more things, they will gradually become conservative.
For an enterprise, AC media is still very young, while Adrian and Claude, as the leaders, are equally young - not to mention the old men such as Eisner, Murdoch and lestone. Even compared with the CEOs of these groups who have pushed down the front desk, they are still very young. So why bother about it? What's more, as Adrian said just now, they are legends.
However, in the early ten years, Adrian and Claude have become the most powerful people in the media industry. The former is still a famous miracle director. AC media has grown from a small enterprise to a media group with considerable influence in the world. Among them, it can be called a magic development process, and it is necessary to enter the MBA courses of various schools.
Throughout history, enterprises with such a rapid development rate can be counted by two hands. It is not exaggeration to say that they are living legends. In fact, Adrian's big plan is also moving towards this goal, of course, more for himself.
"All right." Claude finally let go. "I'll have people reassess it."
It's not surprising that he didn't give up, that he still had his own ideas, which Adrian understood very well, and he knew that he must have asked for it.
"But." Claude went on, with a bad smile. "You have to make sure we're making some progress in the youth market.""All right," Adrian said, laughing and crying. "I said I had some ideas."
Adrian did have an idea, a good idea. Without the burden of ABC for ten years, and without the conflict and wrangle with Miramax, Eisner's contraction strategy made Disney not as large as other media groups, but it was still expanding on the whole. And the benefits are pretty good. Therefore, their civil strife is bound to be long, at least longer than Adrian remembers, which gives him the opportunity to discover many interesting things.
After solving this problem, Adrian immediately turned his attention to other aspects. The Oscar has passed, and he has got the second best director, making a good start. Naturally, the second step of the plan will be carried out. Anyway, he is a director and producer. He does not need to be exposed in front of the camera like a star.
So Adrian began to get busy with the early stages of Brokeback Mountain, not only to prepare for the location of Montana - in fact, the film was basically shot on location - but also to arrange a series of other things. Not to mention buying or helping Disney. Claude did not give up his views completely, and more discussions were needed. Adrian always felt that he seemed to have overlooked something. When he tried to persuade Claude, something flashed from his mind. He couldn't catch it, but he couldn't find it again.
This is also normal. Adrian can't remember anything at any time.
In addition, it is the later stage of "go ahead". With the completion of the Matrix trilogy and the Lord of the rings trilogy, he can put more energy into making it more perfect, although he has not invested much energy in those two trilogy before.
Then, some movies or TV plays have to ask. For example, Scarlett starring "love in New Jersey" is scheduled to be released in the off-season at the end of March, while "King Kong" directed and produced by Peter Jackson and starred by Naomi has also targeted this year's summer season.
For the former, there is nothing to say. Adrian has seen a rough look. There are too many movies with the theme of "a little morbid teenager regaining his self because of love and friendship." love for New Jersey also has no special place to shine. But Scarlett relatively speaking, although compared with the original version of Natalie temperament is half chip, but more lively. It's quite agreeable, and she's quite suitable for the role.
Moreover, although this kind of movie is conventional, there is always a market. As long as the plot is in order, the word-of-mouth will not be worse. In addition, the cost is low, so it can still earn some money. It is suitable to keep Scarlett popular.
As for "King Kong", how to say, with Adrian's intervention, this version of "King Kong" has been much better. At least, as the protagonist, Kong didn't come out after half of the plot. The rhythm was also pretty good. The atmospheric scene was well edited, but Peter Jackson is still good for a pure fantasy movie.
He is still obsessed with CG, so that the special effects are rendered too much. Although the island where King Kong is located looks beautiful and charming, but the level of tone is too obvious, which gives people an unreal feeling. It doesn't matter if it's put in a movie with fantasy background like "the Lord of the rings", but it's inevitable that it's a bit out of the ordinary if you want to put it in a movie based on reality.
However, Adrian didn't say much. When the movie was released, he let Jackson observe the market reaction. He made Naomi so beautiful.
Naomi's appearance in "King Kong" can be said to be quite bright and moving, especially at the beginning of that period because of the great depression and the poor and weak appearance, enough to let many people feel pity, so Adrian has always been very happy to use some small means to catch her around. It's just that she was supposed to master a backstage or shooting skill, but it seems that it will take a long time.
The reason why he asked Naomi to take charge of the camera when he and Nicole made the adult film "the cheating wife" was to see if she could help herself in the future. You know, from lighting to props to shooting, he was responsible for all of them, and the efficiency was too low. Up to now, he has just finished a grown-up movie like "betrayed Shakespeare". Although it is easy to complete the shooting of the "cheating wife", it will take time to edit it - this is one of the things he has been busy with recently.
Fortunately, Sophie has gradually become more open-minded in terms of directing. Maybe she is not as talented as other female directors, but it is no problem to be regular. Let her take the camera and guide herself from the side, the effect will surely be better.
Well, Adrian initially tried to persuade Sophie to be a director, but after that, it was certain, so he wanted to train other women as well. Let's get together and work hard for an adult movie about a woman's fame. Ha, it must be fun, and your relationship will be more harmonious, and More closely around him.
Like Naomi, after Adrian and Nicole collided passionately in front of the camera and said that she could pay for her film by applying for a "VIP card", she also secretly revealed that she wanted to do a "VIP card".Adrian certainly won't refuse. In any case, after this year and next year, the impact on the best actress will come to an end. Naomi wants this easy, at least three or four years, so it can be handled. Of course, it will take time. There are at least two women to handle this year. Take your time, just like letting her learn how to hold a mirror or play light.
That's what Adrian had to do before he prepared Brokeback Mountain - Oh, one more thing, a long-standing plan. (to be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly ticket. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
