King of Hollywood

In just three days, Agan Zhengzheng, which appeared in 2,300 exhibitors, rolled out more than 42 million box offices in North America, and easily squeezed away the previously top "Life and Death Speed". Such an achievement, though not an end in age, is unprecedented, too much more than the original version in memory.

Adrian thinks it's normal. From the beginning, he's done a lot of publicity, posters in various hot mén locations, advertisements in various media, all the means currently available are used, not to mention he has a TV station in his hand. If the box office doesn't exceed the original version, he can wash his hands off it.

Unfortunately, however, the Internet is still very young, although it has been largely developed, and while Adrian has also allowed the official author of the film Agan Zheng to advertise on Yahoo, it has not had much more repercussions than the traditional media. A few years from now, even two years from now, would definitely increase the first week's box office by about 10,000 more.

Virus marketing is not a very deep theory, but the Internet is spread several times faster than regular newspapers and television stations, so that's the name. For professionals, it's just a change of name, only ordinary people will think it sounds great.

In any case, the cinema at the end of '94 was entirely the world of Agan Zheng Legend. If the family went to the movies after Christmas, it would definitely be the first choice. Cinemas all over the United States often had to book a few days in advance to be seen. Such a feat could only be compared to the prequel of the big ship and space opera a few years later.

It goes without saying that this is already a movie where the main melody can no longer be the main melody, even the prick can only start from the shooting skills or the performances of the actors, but rarely attack the subject idea of the movie, both in the mainstream media and in the xibyo newspaper - the xibyo newspapers, though unscrupulous, must also divide the situation, in the current environment Luàn's speech must be sieged, so that not only will they not attract eyeballs, but they will become street rats.

As for Groom, who was criticized before the show? Winston, who was also mute at the time, was a stubborn old man, but not a fool, so he didn't write anything about xing, although he had seen it at the cinema the night it appeared. As a result, the next day was all good articles, almost no one accused the plot of not matching the original, and the depressed Winston was even more unlikely to write, not to mention because the movie was popular and the original sales had increased considerably, so when Xibyo newspaper found mén trying to get him to write some sharply critical articles, he was helplessly and resolutely rejected by the old man.

“The main melody movie is always popular in mainstream society, especially if it's very well made and knows how to market the main melody movie." After getting the data, Adrian said with such exclamation, recalling a more harsh brief review of Agan Zhengzheng, which he had seen in his previous life, meaning that if you follow the political fu, you will surely have good results.

Think about it like that, but follow the political fu instead of following mainstream values such as attending anti-war rallies or reporting the water mén incident. Propaganda is different. Think about some of the movies in China that you remember. There are many other factors, but the jing finesse and propaganda methods that you make are really sweaty.

Well, without saying that, although Agan Zhengzheng appeared late throughout the whole Christmas period, the extent of the explosion was unparalleled in other films, especially those that grew up in the '60s and' 70s and are now married and have children running for their lives in the collapse of the film.

“It brings back a lot of memories, the crazy experiences of my youth, the major historical events, very jing-colored.” That's what a couple after watching a movie with their kids said in an interview with a journalist on the street.

They are not as interested in the meaning behind the film as the film critics are in what Agan is involved in and influences what they know and experience and, of course, the quality that Agan embodies.

Thus, in just over two weeks, the film passed the $100 million box office threshold in North America and remained at the top of the North American box office list. In the face of such a situation, there is naturally someone who is happy and worried, especially for the big companies, which is pretty bad news.

It is well known that by the end of the year, major companies will have to struggle not only for the box office, but also for the honor of Oscar. Countless punch awards and honorary films have focused on showing at the end of the year in order to impress the Cinema Academy judges. After all, judges don't watch every movie at the time of selection, so the comments of some well-known film critics influence their judgment, the more impressive the judges are at this time, and the more impressive they are, the more competitive they are.

As a result, many films, even if not released in time, will have to be spotted on the mainstream estate for seven days to obtain Oscar's nominated admission ticket, as was the case with the "xibyo woman" produced by Bosworth Film.

Most of the time, it's the means to create momentum for your films, and the likelihood that you'll get the best films as soon as they're shown is very rare, like last year's Schindler List or… this year's Agan Zheng

This is the headache of Hollywood film companies. Adrian's "Agan Zheng Zheng" is so in line with mainstream social values that it is the most powerful competitor of Oscar's best films from any angle. It is possible that Xing won't be under 80. What motivation do they have to fight for it?

“Last year it was Schindler's List, this year it was Agan Zheng, how could he do that?” Seniors and producers in film companies cannot help complaining and complaining.

But by comparison, they're doing okay, and Disney's facing worse.

“I wonder why things don't work out at all.” Sitting on top of Michael in a large, minimalist conference room? Eisner looked at his subordinates with a cold face.

“Their tactics are too covert for us to notice," replied one manager, Xibyo, winged, "I'm afraid it would take a long time for us to find out if they hadn't announced. ”

“This is not the reason, and if you take a closer look, this will not happen at all.” Eisner's tone is cold, but everyone can hear the anger that suppresses it.

“They have the advantage of not having xibyo, otherwise they would not have chosen to publicly announce the acquisition of ABC at this time, and our jing power is on top of the negotiations without realizing that these xibyo moves are normal.” Sitting second to his left, Terry? Egger said at this point that he was a close associate of Eisner, and at this time he came out to calm the anger of the other.

“Well, now I need a response. What do you have in mind?” Eisner pressed his temper and swept the conference room and asked.

In January '95, the most eye-catching feature of the film industry was Agan Zhengzheng, a work that conformed to mainstream social values and produced quite a bit of sè. And the most striking part of the business community is that AC Media's public announcement of its desire to acquire ABC not only surprised Disney, but surprised a lot of people.

It's only been about four years since AC Media was founded, but it's got the size of a company that hasn't been in operation for a year or two. It's surprising that the successful acquisition of TBS alone is now trying to acquire ABC, and still compete with Dennis. I really don't know where to say they're sure? Or was it because you were so young that you lost your mind when you won?

“I don't know about the heavens and the earth thick guy.” When he got back to the office, Eisner snorted in disdain.

The meeting did not come up with any results, or did not surprise him. It's not that easy to grab food from Disney. The media is too young, the roots aren't so steady, and the acquisition of TBS hasn't been digested yet, and they want to stain ABC, and they're not afraid of internal problems - that's why Eisner is so disrespectful.

But that doesn't mean that Eisner despises each other. On the contrary, he values AC Media, because their owner Disney has an unparalleled advantage, which is that the results achieved since AC Media's entry into the main TBS are common, a Millionaire complex show that immediately raises TBS 'viewership to almost the top three on cable TV, and the production of TV dramas is very popular - the popularity of Old Friends being broadcast on NBC is also produced by AC Media's Bosworth Film Industry, not to mention a CNN News Network, which is very confusing to ABC.

While Disney also has its own accomplishments, Eisner has succeeded in transforming Dinis to today's scale, with a difference between cable and wireless networks, but some places are consistent, such as the pursuit of viewership, so Disney cannot compete with AC media in this regard.

But Disney also has advantages that AC Media doesn't have, and decades of experience alone is enough for ABC to think carefully - if they want to sell it. The capital involved is not owned by a younger company like AC Media, not to mention Eisner's performance there, and Disney's funding is stronger than the other party's. It would be a big mistake if they thought they were eligible to infect ABC by doing something on the network.

Suddenly knocking mén interrupted Eisner's meditation, and he raised his head: “Come in. ”

“Hey, Mike.” Coming in is current Disney CEO Michael? Orvitz, also his friend.

But when he sat down, Eisner frowned slightly.

“Can I help you?” He took control of his emotions and asked in a calm tone.

“How did you consider my proposal?” Orvitz asked in the mountains.

“Proposal? Which proposal?” Eisner's a little confused.

“Proposal to invest 100 million to buy 50 shares of Yahoo.” Orvitz then revealed some disgruntled god sè.

In Eisner's no-good style of doing things, if you didn't mean to embarrass people, then forgetting is definitely forgetting. And Orvitz is where he dug it up, so it's only the latter, and Orvitz's grievances are natural.

“Turns out it was that,” Eisner shook his head after showing his sudden enlightenment, “I vetoed. ”

“Rejected? Why? This is a rare opportunity for a lifetime." Orvitz's grievances have grown more, and his tone has taken on a little questioning.

“Pay attention to your attitude, Mike,” this tone upsets Eisner, who has become accustomed to the power monopoly, "the company's jing power now focuses primarily on ABC's takeovers, not on those xibyes. ”

“It may be xibye now, but it's hard to say after a few years, this is what we went into in the IT industry...” Orvitz distinguished, but it was interrupted before he finished: “Okay, Mike, I said not to think about it, why don't you put Jing on top of it, you barely spoke at the meeting just now. ”

That's it. What else can Orvitz say? He lifted his hands a little helplessly and then stood up: "Okay, I get it, frankly, I really don't see how much AC Media threatens XING if we do our best. ”

At the end of the day, Orvitz had gone out of mén, watching the closed mén, and Eisner was humming heavily. Before he worked together, he appreciated Orvitz, but after digging it up, he realized it wasn't as good as he thought. Last month, he spent nearly a million dollars just to travel, eat, drink, and immediately after taking office, he spent almost three million to renovate his office.

Eisner was quite dissatisfied, though he had nothing to say in his mouth. Sometimes that's the case, when you don't have a lot of contact with someone and you have a good impression of meeting them, you think they're nice, but once you work together, you'll find flaws everywhere. Not to mention Isner's arbitrary dictatorship, which requires a puppet to be CEO rather than someone with his own ideas - which is why he would dig up his friends to Disney - and he would certainly be upset if he violated that.

But what Orvitz is doing hasn't touched Eisner's bottom line yet, so even if he's a little dissatisfied, he quickly puts his mind behind him and puts his mind on what happened before him.

The CEO of the media, Eisner, met several times at different wine parties. Old Ron Reese's only son, indeed, was a very capable young man. No wonder he was able to bring this new company to this scale in a short time. Although Old Ron Reese must have helped a lot behind him, he couldn't have done so without the personal ability of sè.

And, of course, his best friend, the chairman of AC Media, the Hollywood miracle director Adrian? Corwell. If this man hadn't invited him to start a business together, Claude should probably have worked for the old Ron Reese company.

After careful reflection, Eisner put Adrian aside, and frankly, the young man was quite talented. He had made those achievements over the past five years and could not be overstated by genius. It was said that TBS's popular feature show Millionaire and Buffy the Vampire Hunter, as well as NBC's most famous television drama, Old Friends, had nothing to do with him.

Besides, this year, he has a good chance of winning the Oscar Award for Best Director, and how many young people can do that? Even if there are rumors that he has an obscure relationship with a number of NV stars, what is there? Hollywood directors and producers who have not slept with nv stars as long as they are not xing cold and in love with xing. Sometimes it's a real shame that if Adrian had been pulled into Disney, Dinis would have had a bigger leap in his hand.

But having artistic talent doesn't mean that he has the same talent commercially, otherwise Adrian wouldn't have given Claude all the jiāo in the ac media, and there's news that he's almost hard to show up at the head office once, mostly in movies under his banner. Every time I think of such news, Eisner will have to shake his head independently. If he had done it, he would not have done such a stupid thing. Decentralization is easy, but it is easy to keep himself away from the center of power. If one day the speech doesn't work, then jiāo will have to leave his place.

But then again, after all, Adrian is the godson of old Ron Rice, and Claude played from xibyo to big - it's not a secret - and was more intoxicated with filmmaking, with no commercially outstanding performance, and this decentralization is understandable.

So, the point of Eisner's attention is just Claude and old Ron Reese standing behind him. And even old Ron Reese can only help his son indirectly. Isn't he capable of dealing with even a young man?

“I let you take Miramax because I didn't need it very badly, but if you think I'm defeated, you'll know what it means to regret it.” Eisner pulled a cigar out of the box, cut the front end, put it in his mouth and lit it, "it was mine, so nobody would take it from me. ”

Orvitz was right, and if they did everything they could from the beginning, the media would lose laughter even if they resisted, and some of the tools were simple but useful. Disney's “fighter" chairman thought confidently.

However, there are times when people are ignored because of something, and it is quite costly not to open the mist to see the essence.

The media were also discussing the way forward just as Disney was trying to cope with the AC media announcement that they would join in the acquisition of ABC, but they didn't bring all the leaders together to meet in the CEO's office, as Disney did, and only two people were discussing it: Adrian and Claude.

This was always Adrian's request, and Claude took it to the meeting to discuss it privately, and he became an escort. Although Claude objected, he failed to convince Adrian because...
