King of Hollywood

Chapter 230 Solid Foundations

Ron Meyer (Note) pushed the door into the conference room, and the buzzing discussion stopped, and he swept the heads of the sitting departments and sat down and asked straight away: "Tell us what you think, gentlemen. ”

Nonetheless, they waited half the time and nobody said anything, after all, they could not actually get into it. Just a few days ago, a week after the Cannes Film Festival, AC Media announced publicly that it would acquire Universal Film from Sigram. Anyone with an understanding of AC media style knows that once they publicly announce the acquisition of a company, the following things are almost done, both when acquiring TBS and when acquiring ABC. []

In fact, as the current president of Universal Studios, and Meyer, who has been in this position for many years, has had good connections in Hollywood, and naturally has heard about AC Media's actions. What if I just found out? He can't handle this kind of thing, and several major media groups, Warner and Disney, are planning a joint television network, Viacom's acquisition of CBS is at a final stage, and the news group is temporarily unable to expand, so long as the AC media doesn't make a big mistake, the global film industry is basically in their pocket.

If so, why would he bring department heads here for this meeting after the other party openly announced the acquisition of Globe?

“At least not worse than the Japanese or Canadians, and the ac media knows how to make movies.” After a moment, someone finally made a noise and opened this head, and the others said it.

“AC Media is powerful, and although it expands equally quickly, it is also highly stable, with TBS and ABC under its umbrella, which is quite powerful. ”

“Adrian? As chairman of the board of directors, Corwell is quite brilliant as a producer and director, and apart from films, many of the reality shows and TV shows on the television station are said to come from his fingertips. ”

Though the heads of departments have talked a lot, Ron? Meyer never opened her mouth, but her eyelids drooped silently. Actually, he hasn't had a hard time guessing since the '80s. After Zerman sold Worldwide to Panasonic, ownership of the film company changed every other few years, which greatly affected Worldwide's performance, if not for that reason, it would not rank behind the top seven film companies with Worldwide's qualifications.

Even so, in Ron? Under Meyer's leadership, the Universal Film Industry still enjoys a considerable surplus, even if Adrian's presence separates some of the good works that belong to them, or if Spielberg and his friends, who have always worked well together, set up their own dream factory, shows that this man is still quite capable.

But that's why he's a little worried about how he's going to be once Global is acquired by AC Media. As one of the directors just said, though you've never heard of Adrian? Colwell had made a difference in terms of specific management, but he was unparalleled in producing all kinds of shows, not to mention the title of the miracle director and his very forward-looking gaze, but looking at some of the most popular TV shows and reality shows today, which were not based on his ideas, not only contributed to the development of reality shows, but also indirectly allowed media companies to start planning their own television networks.

Such a person, with a huge financial and media group, could make the world fly, but how would Meyer's position change? Globe is neither Bosworth nor New Line nor Miramax. Everyone knows what AC Media is missing, so once Globe is acquired, they will have it firmly in their hands, so... you know, just a few weeks ago, just when the Cannes Film Festival opened, Ted? Turner suddenly announced that he was no longer vice president of AC Media, and although the statement was simple and sudden, and AC Media spokespersons publicly praised Turner for his contributions over the years, many knew he was out.

So, how can Meyer not think for herself?

The AC media is also discussing the situation around the globe, except that only two people are involved.

“Inside Sigram, we've actually succumbed, and now we're just trying to sell the world as much as possible for a good price, and they're looking at our minds.” Claude leaned lazily against the high chair and said.

“Of course, after we hit Universal, everyone knows we want a movie company that has a lot of weight in Hollywood, so it doesn't matter if the price is slightly higher.” Adrian looked through what was in his hand and paused for a few seconds before adding: “You know, to prevent ‘night’ and ‘dreams’. ”

“Again, can't you say it in English?” Claude complained, but Adrian laughed just because he didn't take it, and he did it again: “It's okay, we bought Sigram, and then we sold it by splitting up industries unrelated to the media, and Southeast Asia's money is back in the cage, and we still have enough capital to finance it. ”

Speaking of which, he suddenly noticed that his partner was a little crazy, and he reached out and waved in front of him: "Hey, what do you have in mind? ”

“Hmm? Oh, nothing,” cried Adrian, laughing, "Canadians are not fools, they know our resolve, and even if they can't help it, they have to consider the consequences. ”

Sigram did not initially intend to sell Globe, but AC Media immediately hit them hard on the market at a small price, which was already somewhat overwhelmed by Sigram, finally agreed to negotiate and then peeled to the present day. Despite the good timing and the fact that allies, enemies and neutrals have their own business to attend to, Adrian hopes to eat the globe as soon as possible to avoid any deviations, and the globe is a very important part of his plan.

“If nothing else, I'll leave first, waiting for your good news.” Adrian stood up.

“Oh, shit, where are you going again?” Claude sighed angrily, "We just talked for a few minutes. Your office is right on top of me. Can't you stay a little longer? ”

'Cause I have other things to do. ”Adrian shrugged.

“Yeah, yeah, you got something else you don't know who you're looking for.” Claude whispered the corner of his mouth, of course, and the last sentence was very whispering, and he remembered something, and he said, "Well, since it's public, the new line and Miramax are fine, but you've got to say something about Bosworth. ”

“Of course, don't worry about what they'll think, I made my own arrangements," Adrian nodded, "including Universal. ”

Claude raised his hands and stopped talking, and by now they had quite the acquiescence. It was entirely Adrian's decision to make the film and television. Who made him so famous? But that did not mean that he would let go of his own accord, just as Adrian handed over other properties to him, without interference, but without inquiry.

The foundation is finally ready. After coming out of Claude, Adrian grew breathless. Yes, even if we acquired Universal, we were just laying the groundwork, and the stronger the foundation, the less likely it would be to collapse, and the quicker it would be built, and now we're waiting for a chance in two years.

To think of it, his brow suddenly slightly wrinkled and sighed in his heart. Things broke out in South-East Asia, as they always did in May, and he deliberately arranged a sense of justice for a local CNN correspondent, so those bloody violent * images were returned to the United States in the first place.

Although it was after the Gulf War of '92, CNN once again demonstrated its own timeliness and left its peers far behind, the response was far less than that of the Gulf War. It is not surprising that the Gulf War was, after all, an act of war in which Americans fully demonstrated their armed forces, while the Indonesian riots * had nothing to do with them.

While some charities have come forward to say that this is a humanitarian catastrophe, and others have called on Congress to intervene under Adrian arrangements - most of the big figures in group companies like Adrian are behind the scenes, manipulating and exchanging, and publicly standing up to make their own political statements is the worst course of action - none of this has helped, and most Americans, apart from expressing sympathy, have moved their interests elsewhere.

That's the only way to do it. In the face of this situation, Adrian can only shrug his shoulders helplessly. As for that government in the Pacific, he had neither the interest nor the need to blame it. After two generations, he became very calm and sensible. He knew that there were many reasons why one thing happened, and only a few unwilling people would grasp it.

Adrian quickly left this behind, and he had a lot to do, and the acquisition of Universal was just one of them, and he didn't have to worry too much about it.

“Oh, I owe you an apology for that. They're all very good people, very good.” Sam? Remy took off his hat, grabbed his head, and pointed it at Toby not far away? Maguire waved, "Hey, Toby."

“Can I help you, Mr. Director?” Maguire ran over and hung a camera around his neck, looking a little shy. Parker.

“Nothing. Is this Adrian? Mr. Corwell, I'm complimenting him.” Remy immediately introduced Adrian.

“Hello, Mr. Adrian, it was an honor to meet you." Maguire shook hands with some excitement immediately. Although he knew the miracle director had named him to star in "Heartcatcher" and "Spider-Man," this was the first time he met each other and naturally wanted to express his gratitude. Everyone knew what Adrian's passion meant.

“Good job, young man, knowing that Sam and I had a fight over whether to use you or not, he's mistaken now, of course.” Adrian patted him on the shoulder with a smile and Remy coughed dry next to him.

“Toby, to the line... Ed?” A sound filled with surprises sounded and Kristen's round face appeared in front of Adrian.

The red lips open slightly, but the corners of the mouth curl upwards, combining into an apparently pure and bright smile and two more shallow bars on the face. Gray blue eyes twinkled gently, with a wonderful color, but occasionally flashed a hint of hide and deep cunning, if you don't look closely, she would really fool you.

“Hey, Kiki, wow, haven't seen you in a while, you're getting pretty.” Adrian smiled and gauged after Kirsten praised.

This compliment is sincere. Kirsten is wearing a red cheongsam with azaleas embroidered on it and a red cape. Although her skirt covers her knees and forks high into her thighs, she also has a perfectly maintained figure and is very sexy. The golden hair was also dyed burgundy, and the two hairpins in the back of her head matched the cheongsam perfectly, without compromising her allure even if the face was bigger.

“Thank you. It's good to see you here.” Kirsten smiled sweetly, but immediately turned his head and dragged Maguire to the line, although Yu Guang occasionally stumbled to his side.

Adrian laughed softly in her heart, didn't pay attention to her, pulled Remy and said two more words, and then stood aside after the director announced that he was going to start filming the rest.

“I've already explained this scene once, and now take out your best side," Remy said out loud, then waved and ready to begin, and everyone started to move immediately.

Adrian nodded slightly, affirming Remy's scheduling, but then beamed. As he passed in front of him, Kirsten suddenly opened his mouth and hooked his tongue up and down, together with the revealed unscrupulous seductive eyes, forced him to breathe independently, even though the people around him were busy, and she turned her head and immediately recovered her former divine color, but the fairy was a little too bold.

But if you're not so bold, you're not a leprechaun —— maybe the little one can be removed —— and it's really exciting. Looking at that wonderful shadow, Adrian couldn't help but whisper.

What is being filmed is what happened before Spider-Man first met the Green Devil in Times Square, watching his friends and his secretly loved girl far below the square. In addition to some necessary scenery, green curtains have been hung around the area. Of course, it's impossible to go to Times Square and even if the crew had to pay for it, the City of New York wouldn't necessarily agree, but the advances in CG technology are compensating for this shortcoming. All you need to do now is build a model to shoot in the green curtain and wait until later to help the Times Square lens in.

This kind of comic hero movie doesn't really need a lot of acting, as long as the emotions are in place, the audience is still looking at all kinds of more authentic effects than before. Adrian couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Soon, the screen will be full of special effects movies.

He knew that well before the Titanic was released. In fact, making a movie was no different from gambling. Gambling would only know if it was a loss or a win after the cards had been turned over, and the movie would only know if the audience liked it after it had been shown. Producers have been hanging their brains out trying to avoid the risk of making movies, just as many gamblers have been hanging their brains out trying to calculate the cards in each other's hands, but they have never had much effect.

And now, they finally found a good way to avoid the risk, and yes, the big scene where the effects pile up after the Titanic will attract the audience for a long time, and the producers won't let go of this money until they squeeze out the appeal of the effects completely and the audience is tired of the big scene.

This is one of the reasons why, in previous life, there were so many movie scenes after the 21st century, and even if the audience got tired of it a few years later, there was still a huge market for special effects movies.

It's okay, don't worry, some things can't be changed. Adrian shook his head and stopped thinking about it. What cannot be changed is not only that the story is at the heart of the film, but also that of the special effects trend of commercial films in the coming years.

After the initial blind obedience, after losing money, the filmmakers will still come back to tell the story, and the audience wants to see the complete story, not just those gorgeous fights and scenes. So why should he care? It's the right thing to do to take advantage of this opportunity.

Soon after that, Remy announced a few minutes off, and then started filming the war between Spider-Man and the Green Devil. Adrian watched silently from the beginning to the end. Again with Sam? Remy said yes.

“Hi, Ed.” Kirsten's voice sounded in his ear.

“Hi, Kiki.” Adrian immediately turned his head and picked his eyebrows slightly, and the fairy in front of him had a shy expression that seemed a little embarrassed to talk to him, but only he knew what a heart * * hidden beneath that shy expression was.

“Can I help you?” He asked gently.

“Yeah, it's just, can I talk to you in private? It's in the trailer over there.” Kirsten bites his lips and looks at him with a pleading eye, "the shooting below doesn't have my shot. ”

It's a great act. Adrian sings a compliment and raises his hand to make a gesture. Kirsten didn't speak either. When he turned around and walked to the nearby trailer, he walked well at first. But when he reached the trailer, his cheong-bottomed butt began to swing dramatically. He looked at Adrian behind him, his mind suddenly burst out of his mind. He seemed a little uncomfortable watching her perform before, didn't he...

“Hey, Lawrence,” Kirsten closed the door after entering the trailer, poking half his body out the window and yelling at a nearby clerk, "I want to rest here and tell Wyman that the director needs me, come and get me. ”

Listening to her voice, Adrian found a chair nearby and just sat down, his throat couldn't help but shrug. Kirsten, who leaned over the window, not only upped his ass, but slowly picked up the dress of the cheongsam with his hands, and then a pair of snowy white hips were completely exposed to Adrian's eyes, and more importantly, there were no underpants under the dress.

“Thank you, Lawrence, you're such a good man.” Kirsten in the window said to the outside with a genuine smile, while putting his hands behind him, moving his beautiful pair of buttocks away against Adrian...
