King of Hollywood

Chapter 263

Don't let me down.

“The same thing happened decades ago, when television was replacing newspapers as new media. Televisions are undoubtedly much more convenient than paper media that need to be bought on the street or that children spend time delivering to their homes, and you can find out what news you can or cannot see in the various newspapers just by turning it on.” Adrian said so to Claude in a generous office. []

“And before television appeared, radio distribution had allowed newspapers to adapt and self-adjust, and the Internet was growing much faster than television, so the impact on traditional media would have been enormous, right?” Claude smiled at the interface and said, "You've said it many times, Ed. ”

Adrian shrugged his shoulders and did not care to continue saying: “You and I both know that the advantages of the Internet lie in the speed of transmission and the volume of information far greater than that of traditional media. Participants are gradually becoming ordinary people, and the response will be greater than that of traditional media. Think about what happens if you can access the Internet on a mobile phone in 10 years' time? What happens if a mobile phone can take pictures, take HD photos and even videos and upload them to a dedicated website in the first place? ”

“Are you prophesying again?” Claude picked the eyebrows, "so you asked me to buy mac.

omedia, and holding a? ”

“Well... well...” Adrian suddenly smiled. “In fact, we need mac.

omedia is fine, I think their flash software is promising, and I initially thought it was a development. ”

“What?” Claude picked his eyebrows incredibly.

“Don't worry, a there will also be what we need in the future.” Adrian added quickly.

“Oh, shit, I knew it, I totally believed you were a mistake.” Claude sighed with white eyes.

“Hey, how can you talk like that, Claude, I can always tell you, I don't necessarily have to be completely right, you have to have your own judgment," Adrian rebutted immediately, "you're just too blind to believe, yes, I admit I'm wrong, but don't you have to take some responsibility? ”

“Are you showing off, Ed? Is that so?” Claude closed his eyes and placed his hands crossed in front of him, looking at him and asking.

“Show off? Me?” Adrian “Ha” laughed, “I would use this if I wanted to show off, not in the company. ”

He said he pulled out his wallet and threw a credit card in front of Claude.

“Is this it?” Claude picked it up and looked at it. The whole black sè was no surprise, but the workmanship was still exquisite and thoughtful.

“Shinton learns from Citibank that the newest top credit card just launched, a hundred cards, is more valuable than a platinum card and does not accept applications, only the bank has offered to join.” Adrian explained briefly.

“Oh, what better service?” Claude asked.

“Unlimited credit line, or all-powerful si assistant service," Adrian thought, "I just bought a bay stream with it, which is really good, maybe one day I accidentally forgot something on it by train, like a delivery car or something, or I could call them to notify the train station and put it down at the next station. ”

Naturally, the card he took out was the legendary black card. Despite all the rumors he had heard about the world's top credit cards in previous generations, that's what happened when he got it. The so-called unlimited credit line was based on the assets of the holder. It was too much overdraft and the credit card would be recovered. As for the full range of services, this was supposed to be a way for banks to pull customers together, and how many are worth inviting? Most have their own team of assistants.

“Don't be ridiculous. Since when have you been on the train?” Claude said in disdain.

That's true, Adrian goes out either by car or by plane, and American trains are kind of a shitty type of vehicle. After all, freight is far more profitable than passenger transport, and most people prefer to drive.

“I'm just giving you an example, if you don't think it's enough, I have more here.” Adrian said he pulled out another black card and delivered it to Claude, "it was from Citibank, and they invited me right after the invitation from Express, and the competition was so intense. ”

“If I also bought a Boeing 747 for my own ride, they would invite me too.” Claude shrugged and handed back two black cards to Adrian, "Well, let's go on with what we just said, frankly, we wouldn't be competing so hard with Bettasman on the ownership of the Landon House right now if it hadn't been for the decrease in liquidity as a result of holding a. ”

“Again, a it may not be of great use to us now, but it will not be.” Adrian repeats what he said.

Well, he's got a bit of a strong argument, the shareholding a is mainly for flash software, but he doesn't know much about it, so it wasn't until after the acquisition of a, that he developed flash software mac

omedia has not yet been acquired by a, which is why it was transferred completely to holdings and transferred to mac

omedia pulled into the group. a Not entirely useless, however, their image processing software has always been the best in the industry, and there is a lot more to this part of the website in Adrian's plan.

This is all out of the question. Claude's problem with Landon House is the focus. As one of the top nine publishing brands in the United States, Landon House is quite loud. Although the focus of AC media is on film and television and the Internet, it cannot be completely abandoned on traditional paper media. Especially since the publishing company under the flag has a reputation for representing the Harry Potter series, it cannot be said without this opportunity to expand.

But just last year, while the AC media came to Langdon House, the Bettersman Group saw them, and the two sides fought around the Langdon House several times. After all, Bettersman has over 100 years of history and is not as easy to deal with as Disney. Plus AC Media just bought MAC.

omedia is controlling a again, Claude has eaten a lot in their hands, if you don't want to find a way to turn it over, you can only let Landon House out.

“Delay it, you know our plan, up to a year.” Adrian said, "I've got Uncle Leggett ready. ”

“I don't know where you get that much confidence, even my father, can't be 100% sure.” Claude sighed, "delaying a year isn't easy, Bettasman isn't Disney. ”

Then Adrian gave an unexpected answer: “If it doesn't work, then give up. We can't do it without the Landon House. Our future is on the Internet, and the success of Blair the Witch has amply illustrated this. In the last seven or eight years, a topic that has received CNN coverage has not had much response, and can spread to the Internet, but can attract countless enthusiasm. ”

“Oh?” Claude lifted his eyebrows, knowing Adrian must have more.

Adrian smiled and turned, “Do you think Horton? How's Mifflin Publishing? ”

“... I knew you guys would have a big appetite.” Claude beamed half a mile and laughed.

Horton Mifflin Publishing is one of the four largest publishers in the United States, with more than a hundred years of history comparable to Bettersman, and the Lantern House is good, but still not enough compared to them. To acquire such an established publishing company would require either huge sums of money or a merger and acquisition reorganization, which would obviously not be Adrian's choice, then… if the plan went well, it might well be.

“You do look very far, Ed, and although you're always confused about the details, you do have a set of visions.” Claude said with emotion.

“Don't worry, Claude, everything's still unknown, let's do what's in hand first.” Adrian Haha laughed.

Witch Blair continued to warm up, and with the support of those who watched the first shadow, the online discussion on the matter became more intense, so the number of exhibitors showed rose and so did the box office. Of course, there are more accusations against Maryland's government fu than a day at a time when Bosworth stood up for rumors.

The timing is good, and the state fu hasn't completely lost their patience, plus a generous sponsorship - which is nothing compared to a box office - and they're not paying attention. And after the announcement of the whole thing, although some people felt fooled, many more people were surprised, just to speculate so much that people could believe that the whole thing was true, and more people started going into the cinema.

While this has nothing to do with the implicit push of the media under AC Media, there are also factors that Americans themselves want to make, as one joke put it, money for Americans? Just underestimate their IQ.

Finally, Witch Blair harvested 270 million box offices around the world, and Bosworth's speculation was included in the film history book, which became something that all film companies had to study, but in no way compare to the film companies under the AC media, which Adrian had repeatedly emphasized from the outset.

Well, that's the last word, and now the little cost movie starts working, and Adrian greets some crew in the conference room.

“You may wonder why such an investment in a medium film would have me personally come out and talk to you for the simple reason that I co-authored the original novel of this game.” Sitting at the top of the long table, Adrian smiled at the writers, actors and directors in front of him.

Dennis as Hank the Fourth Survivor? Nate, play Leon? Kennedy's Rivan? Phoenix, Claire? Sarah from Redfield, playing Gil? Valentine's Love and Ada? Wang's Lin Zhiling, yes, the preparation of the long-standing "Biochemical Crisis" film edition is finally about to start.

Of course, besides Dennis being the actress, there are a few other actors who play games, only Ada Lin Chi-Ling? Wang plays a lot. After all, from the beginning, the movie version has established a position that is both complementary and developmental to the game version and can be independent. Although the various game angles sè have appeared, there are not many plays, so what happens in the future is to wait to see how the fans and fans of the game feel about the movie.

That's exactly what Adrian said about Ralph playing the corner of Lyon, and he wanted Anniston to play Gill at first, and the hubby of the couple was quite interesting. But after Sarah promised to play Claire, by the way, she recommended her "puppy" for Jill, and Adrian certainly wouldn't refuse, so the plan had to be put on hold, but that's okay, there's a chance.

“I suddenly came up with a great idea, and you and your wife are going to play together, and it's going to be fun. But there's still a few more years to go before Jenny fixes her action-star image in the movies.” Adrian said this to the two husbands as Dennis and Anniston of Newlywed Oats drove back to Los Angeles from their honeymoon to attend the Biochemical Crisis conference.

Anniston had a pretty good response from fans because of the female cops in Broken Arrows and the female hacker image in Hacker Empire, whether it was the bright image in Broken Arrows or the scenes in Hacker Empire that were sacrificed to cover Trinity and Neo, which were confirmed by the vast majority of fans after those quarrels, and a number of filmmakers began to think about her moving image.

But the influence of Old Friends is enormous, naive and cute with a little silly Rachel? Green is always easier to accept, so Anniston's image is still unstable. Although Adrian can take that script out, it's not the best time right now, so it's better to postpone it a little longer.

The atmosphere in the conference room was very harmonious, and most people had never heard of a miracle director who had written a novel with anyone else, so they had to ask a few questions about it and then make others feel cold.

“The novel was written about seven or eight years ago, and there were so many interesting ideas out of my head that I often took a pen to record things that glistened. Some ideas are well suited to writing novels, as was the case with the Biochemical Crisis, which inspired the Dawn of the Living Dead to create a completely different framework. But there was always a lot to do at the time, just write the outline and some clips, so let's just get people to write together...” Adrian explained his motives, while not disclosing sè's observations.

Director Brooke? Hamer was about 10 years younger and directed several fairly good medium investment commercial films. Among the directors, Adrian felt his style was closer to the game and his ideas, so he was chosen. At the moment, he was talking to two writers, one from the company's signed script, one from the games department, who spoke very well to each other, and Adrian's intermediate mediation from time to time, and the script was quite well written.

From time to time, Dennis and Ralph say that they worked together in Finch's Fighting Club last year, and they were very close to Adrian, and they talked to each other. But Adrian's attention wasn't there, and Fighting Club was about to go on next month, and he wondered how Anniston would feel about Verona playing the actress.

On the other hand, Sarah and Love talked intimately, as if they were good sisters, but Adrian could see the reluctance in Love's smile. Sarah probably blew all the dark side of her heart out on Love, making this woman persuasive, even if she had a grudge she wouldn't dare to resist, otherwise Adrian wouldn't have implicitly called Love "Sarah's puppy."

Of course, it had nothing to do with Adrian playing red-handed next to her, with Love starring Death Coming soon, and Adrian saying that if she wanted to, the record company could give her an album to try out.

As for Lin Zhiling, she was at such a meeting for the first time, basically no one she knew, but her broker came along today, so she could say more or less, instead of staying there and doing nothing. Her broker, also named Lin, also came from Taiwan, and a 10-year-old family member came to Los Angeles, majoring in economics and comparative literature at the University of California. After graduating, she looked everywhere for work and eventually entered the brokerage company. After two months of receiving and mailing, she was seen by Adrian as Lin Zhiling's broker.

Her English name is Kelly, she has the same name as Hu Kelly, and her Chinese name is Lin Xilei.

“Well, that's enough for today, and you've seen the script, hoping to show me a great movie.” Looking at the time, the words were almost over and everyone was in good shape, Adrian got up and announced the end, and of course, had to say goodbye in silence to the familiar.

“Will you take Jenny to the Fighting Club, Dan?” This is to say to Dennis that the other person helplessly turned his eyes, and Ralph walked ahead and laughed.

“Don't think it's a string of xings, don't try.” That's what I said to Sarah, in exchange for her ghost face, and then I pulled Love away, not giving her a chance to please Adrian.

“Don't let me down, Lin.” This was said to Lin Zhiling, and it was in Chinese, and she nodded immediately, although in the conference room, the smile still appeared very pleasant.

But, unexpectedly, Adrian left Lin Xilei behind: "Wait a minute, Kelly. ”

This attracted a lot of attention. As Lin Xilei's agent, he didn't seem to have anything to do with the producer. Why stay? However, these eyes were basically carried away, so they were not on my mind. However, Lin Zhiling, there was a little jealousy in God sè.

“I heard you and Lin had a bit of a problem before?” Adrian opened his mouth after looking at Lin Xilei a little.

Although I don't understand why the other party asked this question, Lin Xilei nodded honestly in the face of such a tycoon and tried to argue, but Adrian grabbed in front of her and continued: “I know it's Ling's problem, but you're not qualified as an agent. ”

“I'm the one who put you as Lin's agent. ”

“What paradox can you tell your boss directly, even CEO Michael? Orvitz —— I told him —— not arguing with clients. ”

“What I need is a broker who can handle Asian actors well for the company. ”

“I have more important people who are going to hold you accountable if you meet my requirements. ”
