King of Hollywood

Chapter 149: The same thing.

What's the problem? Well, maybe the price will be a little higher when we acquire TBS, but that's just a little higher. And then what, Miramax? Oh, don't worry, Miramax, in addition to the name of Hollywood's biggest independent film company, because of the PR skills of the Weinstein brothers.

Only now, thanks to Adrian's presence, the fast-growing Bosworth Film Industry has separated the cake of independent films, and LaVerne's public relations and operational capabilities, with his support, cannot be underestimated. Adrian is confident that, as he develops, resources will continue to grow and LaVerne's capabilities will grow. Besides, Miramax is politically insane from time to time, so it doesn't matter if Disney takes over.

So what's wrong with that? After a few minutes of reflection, Adrian simply threw the issue aside. In any case, Claude is much better at this than he is at this point, and since he is CEO now, let him take care of it, and it's not too late to talk to him later when he has time to remember.

“Let's do this about the movie company for now," Adrian waved, then changed the subject, "I looked at the record company's situation pretty much the same. If the producers think the four boys have the potential to dig, then they can consider starting packaging, and I have no opinion whatsoever. However, you can help me find some of the better songwriters, I have some great songs here... I want to show them. ”

Claude in his ear couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: “What, are you writing songs and lyrics now? ”

“It's not that exaggerated, it's just that some pretty good snippets were recorded at random before, and maybe they can help to make it complete," Adrian said with a serious gesture, “intuition told me that it might be a great reward. ”

“Really?” Claude looked at him with interest, "I thought you were going to surprise me again, Ed, before that virtual network-related novel was finished in those endless script concepts. Write another song. ”

“How is it possible," Adrian said, “that everyone's energy is limited, and the concept script and movie have taken up most of it, otherwise the Hacker Empire will not wait. ”

He waved his hand again: “Don't worry, that melody was recorded at random a long time ago, I just want to find a good songwriter to patch it up, even if the record company doesn't need it, I can sing it to my woman. ”

“Okay, I get it,” Claude made a stop gesture, "but you'd better finish that novel as soon as possible, as Glenn has told me in private many times. ”

“He can totally tell me directly.” Adrian is a little strange.

“He says he's told you enough, and you're still the boss, Ed.” Claude warned.

“But you're also the boss.” Adrian shrugged.

Ed.

“All right, all right, but you know I'll only have time to make changes, guaranteed to be done by next year at the most.” Adrian had his hands full, and Claude was helpless to see him like this: “A little faster shouldn't be a problem, right? ”

“Okay, I'll try,” Adrian sighed, "Isn't there anything else worth manipulating at the publishing house? Besides, I've already told Ben some of the next ideas in Biochemical Crisis? Arndt. ”

“Görling thinks that your virtual web novel would be very appealing in the current situation if it worked well, and I agree with that after researching a lot of web-related intelligence.” Claude smiled.

“Sounds like you've become a cyber expert?” Adrian frowned.

“Cyber experts are afraid to say, but I do know a lot, because a guy once told me that the Internet is our future.” Claude looked at him for a long time, "but interestingly, after I visited several online studios, the guy told me not to be so quick. ”

“Of course, the Internet has just taken on a prototype, and real development has not yet begun.” Adrian waved.

“You always say that you still owe me one of my brokers, Lloyd, who deliberately frowned.

“Rest assured, since I promised you I wouldn't break my word, remember to tell you that I already have the right person in mind, but this is not the time.” It's not very nice to see Claude here, he quickly changed the subject, "and by the way, there's a game studio that I think has a lot of potential and might consider buying. ”

“Damn, here you go again. Film companies, publishing houses, brokers, record companies, not even some other department. Expanding too fast is not good. Besides, do you know how to make games?” Claude seemed to complain.

“But I saw excitement in your eyes, Claude, and you clearly remembered the purpose for which we founded AC Media," Adrian laughed, "it's okay, if you refuse, I'll fund it in my personal name, but if I want to merge it into the company again in the future, I'll make a lot of arrangements. ”

Claude looked at him for a while and raised his hands: "Well, what was the name of that studio, I had to ask someone to look into it first. ”

“It should be called a... silicone bond, yes, a silicone bond.” Adrian recalls, "the stubborn name, but you should know where it came from. Although the current business is simple, I think they are dynamic and a dynamic studio is worth investing in. If you are not planning to acquire, then be sure to let me know. ”

The name Silicon Nerve Key Studio is not eye-catching, but in the past, four years later, it will have a brand new name: Snowstorm.

Exactly, the storm entertainment company that developed Dark God of Destruction, Star Battle and Warcraft Battle to determine its place in the game world through a handful of three games, which many fans call "Snowstorm Products, Must Be Boutiques”.

However, the company that created the brilliance of the future is now just a small studio, the founders have just started to make games, it would be stupid not to do it now.

While the top game producers in the United States and Europe are not the only ones in Adrian, only ea, Yubi, Nishiki, Black Island, Snowstorm and the EIDOS company that produced the Ancient Tomb Li Shadow are probably less familiar than some Japanese game producers, with the exception of Snowstorm and EIDOS. After all, he didn't make games in his previous life, he didn't play many games, and he didn't know this as well as a game fan.

Adrian only knows that Black Island is closed, Nishiki is disbanded, eidos is powerless after entering the new millennium, only the blizzard develops best, from a purely commercial point of view who does not choose the blizzard?

As for ea and Yubi, the former is mainly about issuing games rather than making them, and although the chances of success of the acquisition are high now, TBS should not think about it; the latter is a French company, which, if it wants to hold a stake rather than a stake, is unlikely to keep the French government from clandestinely tripping unless relationships and strength are in place.

So it's best to count or snow storms, and at the same time acquire a couple of gaming studios through them - eidos is right there, and Ancient Tomb Li Shadow has to be made for them - and since they've published the novel Biochemical Crisis, why can't it just be converted into a game? It's interesting to think about the American version of Biochemical Crisis, isn't it?

“Well, I will.” Claude looked at the time and stood up, "Come on, it's almost time. This is my father's party, and Speaker Robert will be there, and we can't be late. ”

“Can I not go?” Adrian couldn't help but sigh.

“Yes, if you want to be taught by my father at Thanksgiving family dinner," Claude shrugged, "of course, don't expect me to speak for you then. ”

“All right, all right, let's go. I hope there's no Steve on this guest list? Jobs. ”

“I'm sorry to have to tell you, Ed, Steve's on the list. What, you don't like him very much? Why don't you want to see him now?"

“You can't stand a guy talking about the latest computer technology and finding ways to invest in his company every time he meets you at a booze party. And what's even scarier is that if you listen carefully, you don't realize that you agree with him. To be honest, Steve should really be selling pyramids. ”

“Ha ha, I can't help you with that. You contacted him in the first place, so naturally you have to deal with it. ”

Although gameplay had been mentioned only temporarily because of the conversation, Adrian had taken the time to gather a lot of information in that regard, otherwise he would not have taken it so seriously with Claude. Of course, it was just a rough plan, and, as Claude said, he was going to do it.

But Adrian is also not playing, and if Claude finds it worthless, he will invest in his private name. Since there is fat in the mouth, it is not considered that the game development will fail due to possible future changes due to the butterfly effect.

Besides, Adrian himself influenced everything anytime, anywhere, and he was convinced that he was born again and had so many advantages that he was bound to accomplish his goals.

Gameplay is currently only a fraction of his vast plan, and now his primary focus is on film production. And he already had a better and better idea of where the company was headed, and now all he had to do was wait for the time to come and follow his plan step by step.

So, let's get our sights back on Smell the Incense Woman. Come on, it's going live in early November, and we've got 30 million North American boxes in less than three weeks before Thanksgiving.
