Chapter 242 Integration []

“Well, ladies and gentlemen, all that's left is the heads of the ministries, and I can say some things.” Adrian said with a smile as he swept away the people in the room.

A few minutes ago, he held a temporary staff meeting outside to appease the anxiety of employees around the world over another change in ownership of the company. It was not very successful or bad. The miracle director was named there and the company should be able to grow better than it is now. But in the eyes of the executives, they discussed the changes that will occur after AC Media takes control of Globe a few weeks ago, and this moment really comes, naturally it is not a few words that can be appeased.

“I know you're worried," Adrian said again after a moment of silence, "but with a little bit of understanding of my style of action, you'll know that this fear is unnecessary. ”

He put up a finger: “First of all, Ron will continue to serve as CEO of Globe for a long time. Over the past few years, he has not only been able to steady the course of Globe with frequent changes, but has also achieved a great deal. He has proved himself to be CEO of Sè, and I can't think of anyone better suited to the position. ”

That's right. Ron on the right? Meyer made an upward gesture, Meyer nodded slightly and briefly said "thank you”, humble and polite.

“The same goes for everyone else,” Adrian continued, "without your efforts, the world will not hold out until now, so I hope you can all continue to work hard and do better. ”

Some things don't have to be so clear, these executives have been rolling around in the mall for years, how could they not understand what Adrian meant, and after that, they were all relieved. It was a covert move, and it immediately brought up the jing god, and they knew the new boss was not finished.

Sure enough, Adrian's watching his buddy sitting on his left, and Claude, CEO of the entire AC media? After a glance, Ron Rice made a gesture backwards, and the beautiful nv secretary placed several folders in front of them.

“This is my little idea of the future, and you can see if you have any questions.” That's what he said.

All executives, including Meyer, began to roll up what was in their hands. They looked quietly, just occasionally looking up at jiāo, and Adrian was not in a hurry, sitting steadily where he was waiting.

It wasn't long before they finished reading his plan, and then there was a discussion of the theft of the si language, and Meyer didn't join in, just sitting quietly looking at them, looking back at Adrian after the discussion: “This is a surprisingly big idea, Mr. Adrian, forgive me, but we can't make a definitive assessment for a short time. ”

“I understand," Adrian nodded, "With all due respect, the world has been silent for far too long, although it has developed quite nicely in recent years and can be very expensive with changing ownership. But anything has to go wrong, maintaining basic development progress while losing a somewhat more or less keen mindset, especially after Spielberg left the world to start a dream factory. And now, we're not Panasonic, we're not culturally different, we don't understand what the American audience thinks; we're not Sigram, we don't know anything about the media, Huluàn commands. We have experience and talent, so why can't we do better? I need you to work harder, I need you to see farther away, like it's important to make a movie, writer, actor, director, but it's also important to keep track of the scenes, props, lighters, we can do better together."

He straightened his body, shook his hand briefly, but waved hard. His gaze glanced at the people who were doing it. Even knowing that he was paving the ground for a plan on the document, the executives still couldn't help but take a deep breath.

“I understand what you're thinking, so this doesn't have to come together, and we can adjust to the actual situation to make sure the integration goes smoothly.” He then said that the tone was resolute and unquestionable.

Adrian's plan was simply to split Bosworth and then merge most of the resources into the world. Previously, under AC Media, Bosworth was at the top of the top three film distributors, brought by Adrian himself, and LaVerne, who ran it, did a pretty good job of sè, even though he was promoted to head office.

But Bosworth still has quite a long way to go to reach the seven biggest movie companies. After all, the seven biggest movie companies have grown in Hollywood for more than half a century and are deeply rooted, not easily replaced. Moreover, overseas distribution rights cannot be obtained without deep qualifications. The reason why dream factories are unable to enter the MPAA is because they do not have overseas distribution rights, so Adrian set a target from the outset to acquire one of the seven major film companies.

In his plan, AC Media should be divided into companies responsible for film and television production and distribution, first of all a large, highly qualified and risk-resistant company that produces and distributes large investments; secondly, two medium-sized companies that spend most of their time producing and distributing medium-sized investments, occasionally involving large investments, one that can favour independent films with honor as its main goal and the other that favour commercial films with more profits; and lastly, a small company with good foundations and qualifications that produces and distributes small investment low-cost films and so on.

In fact, the plan is already a product of realistic adjustments, such as Miramax and the new line, which correspond exactly to medium-sized companies. Now that the world is in hand, naturally it should be responsible for investing heavily in big production, Bosworth is a little redundant, so Adriana splits them up and merges them into the world. He brought out most of Bosworth's staff, without any credit or hard work, and it's impossible to cut them all off. Besides, they are familiar with his style of action, more responsive to use, and... easier to control the world.

But global executives should also consider that most of their abilities are good and not chilling. That is why the above statement, while expressing their attitude and determination, gives them time to grind together.

As for Bosworth, although he was downgraded to third place after the split, his actual position did not count, and Adrian would not let go. If small investment productions work well and don't try to grow, Lion mén films were established last year and are currently not very eye-catching, and have always focused on producing and distributing horror-type films, but Adrian knows that it is because of their unique vision of horror films that they will become the pinnacle of Hollywood's second-stage film company in the future.

Unfortunately, it is now doomed that they will not be able to do this again. From the moment they were founded, Adrian made a stare at them. As long as they were lion mén's favourite, if they were valuable, they would immediately buy them at a higher price, not to mention several horror films that made lion mén grow. He would have an impression. Such repression is nothing in Hollywood. Dream factories have been secretly tripping over the years by their companies. If Bosworth hadn't been lucky, no one would have seen their potential. They would have developed fast and steadily. Perhaps they are still struggling with second-stage movie companies, as is AC Media.

The conference room buzzed, and executives began to talk about it, and in the plan, most of Bosworth's film-makers and most of the film-makers had to merge into the world without thinking about it. The seven major movie companies are basically all involved in TV production, and there are a lot of Sè productions, like Warner, and despite the absence of Old Friends, a TV show that affected the United States of America in the 1990s, there are still good works on the NBC, and ABC is grabbing viewership. Fox and Disney don't have to say that most of the TV dramas on FOX are produced by the former, whose Disney channels have always been popular with families throughout the United States.

Universal itself has launched a number of television dramas, which have been acquired in the past several years. In order to ensure the growth of the company, resources have had to be spent more on faster cost recovery films as well as television dramas. So Adrian didn't interrupt their discussion, just listened quietly, chatted with Claude from time to time, and answered questions from Mayer and other executives.

After a dozen minutes of discussion, Adrian's voice cleared in his eyes: "Well, that's it for now, if you have any suggestions, please summarize them and mention Jiāo to Meyer in writing, then he can combine them and transfer them to me. ”

He's not going to listen to their advice right away. It's only been over an hour. What good advice can they give? But he doesn't mind impressing them before he leaves.

“In addition, I have some plans for the production of films and television dramas.” Adrian said to make a gesture behind him, and Charlize quickly handed him a book.

“I'm going to convert this novel into a TV show," he put the book jiāo in Meyer's hands and watched them circulate, “11 episodes on cable television, each with an investment of between $80 million and $100 million, could be co-invested by TNT TV under Universal and TBS, and invited Spielberg to make it —— that's what he promised me. ”

Low voices, especially those who see books, invest 80 to 100 million dollars per episode? This is an exaggeration, even though the production costs of television dramas are now increasing, such a huge investment has never been made.

Without waiting for their input, Adrian took three more books from Charlize and put them on the long table in turn: “This is my movie plan, and I intend to convert them into films. ”

After seeing the covers of those three books, the low voices rang again, and the three books were so famous that no one here had ever seen them.

“Do you want… to make these three novels into movies?” Meyer hesitated and asked uncertainly.

“Yes, a novel, a film that will be invested and produced by GlobeCo, and rest assured that three will cost about $300 million to $350 million, not much higher than the Titanic.” Adrian made a little joke, "as early as the end of '94, I was given the right to adapt, I've been preparing for so many years, scene maps, character setup maps, and some consideration for the location and corner sè actors - I like to make long-term plans. ”

His hands were jiāo forked on a long table with a smile on his face and his chin lifted slightly, confident, while also giving people a high sense of topsy-top, allowing those present to forget to question it for a while.

“There you are, Ed. You've lived all over town. They have nothing to say.” Sitting in the RV, Claude Haha laughed and learned Adrian's mouth when wěn said, "It's simple, it's my movie."

That's an unquestionable tone he's learned.

“Isn't this my movie?” Adrian shrugged his shoulders and took a bottle of champagne and three glasses from the small wine cabinet, poured them over and handed them to Claude and his neighbor Charlize.

“But next year… frankly, even I feel a little exaggerated.” Claude grabbed the cup and said, "I think you're about to make a new movie in Italy, right? And still..."

He didn't cut out the back half, but squeezed his eyes at Charlize.

“Two months at most, three to four months later, won't delay next year's shoot,” Adrian said softly, "you know, I always make movies very quickly. ”

“Yeah, well, even my little acquaintance with making movies knows that no one like you has ever been able to launch a more expensive movie in less than six months and always get a good box office,” Claude sighed, but soon became happy, “If it were me, I wouldn't be able to convince them in a short period of time, and you don't have a lot of time, Ed. ”

“That's because I can handle the more important things jiāo for you,” Adrian said, "because of you, I can focus on Jing, I know the way to go, buy tbs, buy abc, buy global, how much kung fu you huā, and who you're dealing with. ”

“Because...” Claude fell in a trance, as if he were in a memory, "you said, as long as we were close, we wouldn't be defeated."

And he looked into his eyes, and he took a serious picture of God sè, and he patted it on his shoulder: “I always remember what you said that night when you came to inspire me, and frankly, at first I really felt a little bored, and I thought you were thinking about it again, but then... I couldn't help but notice that you were attracted to me, and then, now, what could make JI move more than watching the original ambition come true a little bit? ”

“Of course,” Adrian laughed and patted Claude on his shoulder, “the world will be ours."

Both hands squeezed together, and in a smiling gaze, everything was self-evident, and then--

“Can you stop looking at me like that? It's easy to misunderstand, Claude. ”

“Really? I'd be too lazy to look at you if you hadn't dealt with me the way you did with the nv, Ed. ”

“The one against the nv? Don't be ridiculous, I'm not good at this. ”

“Of course we all know what you like-- hey, Charlie, don't you think it's boring to be around this huā-hearted man? Why don't you try starting your own business? ”

“I'm warning you, Claude, don't instigate my secretary, or I'll turn my back."

Looking at the two men who were tearing each other apart, his eyes glaring at each other as if they were a man who might strike at any moment, Charlize turned his back and looked out the window. It was just a smile and she climbed into the corner of her mouth, but a few minutes later, her eyes flashed and she sighed slightly.

Claude is responsible for splitting the integration, Adrian just needs to keep an eye on it, and with LaVerne watching, Bosworth's people won't lose too much. But there are things that really should start, like the TV show that jiāo is going to invest in around the world.

That's right, Adrian was always very early for movie and television dramas adapted from novels that had provoked the sensation of "Brothers Company" just after the 21st century.

Despite his support, TNT has succeeded in transforming itself into a cable television station that produces its own television programmes and has won a considerable number of users, but on top of that there is no better accumulation of television stations than HBO. Despite the fact that "Yù Wangdu" and "The Gang Family" have both become TNT works because of Adrian, HBO has launched some pretty good TV shows and it's not easy to get rid of them completely.

So with the opportunity to integrate around the world, let TNT produce this TV show just in time. Anyway, there was no shortage of funds and producers. When he introduced the script of "Save the Soldier Ryan" to Spielberg, Adrian used it as a pretext to get inspiration from Brothers Company, and he also told him what he intended, and half jokingly invited him to serve as a producer when he agreed.

When this TV show, which at this stage is considered to be a super investment, is broadcast on TNT, even if HBO can still insist, for a long time it cannot threaten to firmly establish its position on TNT.

But this is just one of the many jobs he needs to ask, and there are other things he needs to take care of personally - Nintendo found mén on tbs.
