King of Hollywood

Chapter 116 Quarter

The Red Mill has been postponed, and Adrian would have put it a little before Christmas, but the problem is that AC Media's tall box studio films have been arranged for that time, and they've all performed extremely well, not to mention "The Ring King" and "Harry Bott and the Magic Stone," and even films like "Rich Chocolate," "Beautiful Mind," which require long line shows, have done quite well, not to mention "Eleven Rohans," "Training Day," and "BJ Single Diary," which are very different styles but are commercially valuable.

Rachel's BJ Single Diary appeared before Harry Bot and the Magic Stone. The premiere was modest and Adrian was present. Of course, Rachel had to be rewarded for forcibly pulling into the corner to violate.

So if Red Mill were to be shown in the Christmas premiere as originally planned, it would easily create an understated dilemma. It doesn't matter if it affects the box office. This is also the art type of film shown on the ministerial line, not to mention the miracle director's first song, but it's not good if it affects the reputation. It's important to know that Adrian is the most talked about or the popular King of the Rings at this stage.

So Adrian changed the date to January of next year after discussing it with others, and Sarah's "Back to Alabama" was already set for release next year, as was the case with "Back to Alabama" and "Princess Diary", which was set for February 14th only this time, and the Princess Diary was actually scheduled for early January.

In this way, although they compete with themselves, there is much more room to rotate and better squeeze the box office.

Of course, like "I'm Sam," dotting at the end of the month is necessary to get tickets to the Oscars. Isn't that why he made Red Mill? And in the meantime, you can understand the audience's reaction and prepare for the post-screening publicity.

When I got back from London, my life finally calmed down for a while, because Christmas Eve was right in front of me, and Hacker Empire, which had been shot intermittently because of various premieres, had stopped, and Adrian had spent more time on her own women and daughters, and everything was fine except for a little...

The door was gently opened and the hallway lights, which were never turned off, projected a long figure on the ground, in a dimly lit room. The little ones were asleep on chuáng, without noticing anything unusual, and several large fleece socks were hung from the tail of chuáng.

The tall figure walked in with his hands and feet, wearing thick clothes, a tapered hat on his head, a long beard on his chin, and a large pocket on his back, walking to the stern of the boat. Hey, smile twice. Then he slowly squatted down and pulled his things out of his pockets in order to plug them into the velvet socks in the tail of the áng.

That's when the little guy on the áng suddenly jumped.

“There's thieves! Get him!” A voice shouted out, followed, the shadow of the pillow splitting its head over its face to the tail of chuáng smashed past, the crackling sound mixed with laughter, shouting all over the bedroom.

“Hey, what are you doing!” Kate and Sarah popped the bedroom lights when they heard the noise rushing over.

Unfortunately, these little guys - Lily, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, and

“Enough! You troublemakers!” Eventually, until Adrian screamed out in a bit of shame. A few little guys stopped laughing.

At this time, Adrian's Santa hat had fallen to the ground, his beard on his chin was slanted and could fall off at any moment, his hair scattered and he looked a little wolfy sitting on the ground, luckily the pillow hadn't broken, otherwise the house would be full of goose fur.

“More than half an hour ago. You should be asleep, and I specifically allowed you to sleep late, but you haven't even slept yet, but now you're telling me what to do?!” Adrian, unnecessarily, squeezed it on the faces of a couple of little guys and made a teethbiting appearance, seemingly counting with them.

Unfortunately, it doesn't do much good. Even Dave and Juliet looked at him like ghosts, let alone Lily and Emma.

“Well, in that case, there's no Christmas present this year.” Adrian immediately lifted his pockets and went.

Deva and Juliet had no idea, but Lu came out with a disturbing god, sè. Unfortunately, Emma took the situation back with one word: "Don't worry. Ed wouldn't give us Christmas presents, but Santa wouldn't. ”

She knelt down on chuáng, holding her arm, and glanced at the loud Kate and Sarah at the door, and then looked proudly at Adrian, and yes, Daddy wouldn't give Lily any presents, and Mommy and Aunt would always give them.

Adrian rolled her eyes and glanced at Kate and Sarah, who had not spoken since standing beside her, and they stopped talking and stood there watching the play as if they enjoyed seeing him. And then he picked a frown on little Emma. Undoubtedly, she must have been in charge of this matter, and she was still listening when she yelled at him on the phone to make him look good.

“It doesn't look like you should all sleep together, so I decided to separate you all!” Adrian snorted up his sleeve.

“Rest!” Little Emma screamed, then raised the pillow again as she made the gesture.

After that, little Emma and Lily lifted their pillows, while Deva and Juliet climbed behind them and hid behind them, feeling a great deal of resistance.

“All right, boys, calm down!” Kate finally walked over and lifted the siege.

Daddy doesn't listen, Mommy always listens, Lily is pretty smart and never listens to either Mommy or Daddy. This troublemaker's banner broke out, only Sister Dave and Juliet watched naturally quiet down, then little Emma was always with the flow, nature also stopped, little Emma alone was difficult, only compromise.

“You're always lucky, Ed!” The next day she was so drummed, some unwilling to say to Adrian.

“Well, Emma, you're a big girl, and you're a hot star. Can we not do this childish thing?” Adrian answered with a sigh.

When the little girl heard the words, she opened her eyes and slammed her mouth down. A murderous babbling appeared to have been hurt again. She watched him hum and left the study for a long time. Adrian just sighed again, of course he knew Emma would be upset to say that, but there was no other way for him at the moment, you know how she wouldn't go on sitting on his big tui from the start.

It's a really annoying thing. Adrian said that to himself. But he didn't pay too much attention. How could Emma be so big and so smart and so young to ignore him? If she just gave up, it wouldn't be Emma? Waterson-- Adrian's Emma? Watson.

If not, it's only been a few hours. Little Emma grabbed him again and asked him how Adrian was going to cope with her headache. Luckily, it didn't last long, and Emma Jr. was going to London after Christmas, and Adrian, of course, had to promise to visit her for the New Year.

“I promise, just in January, I will definitely visit you in London.” Adrian was so consoling when he dropped her off at the airport that he added immediately: “Of course, there could be a few days of error back and forth. Please understand.”

“… okay.” The little girl was reluctant to say it, and the mumps were drumming.

Adrian shook his head with a smile and ran over to wěn near the corner of her mouth. Emma's eyes suddenly lit up. She couldn't believe it. She weighed him up and down. Then she burst into Adrian's arms and wrapped her neck around him. The trumpet was sturdy and she kissed him in the face.

Her face was filled with smiles. Never seemed so happy, and even followed the VIP tunnel to Adrian's si plane with some light flights.

“Ed... have you... crossed some boundaries?” Kate, who saw the plane on the runway and came with her to deliver Emma Jr., said to Adrian with concern.

As his earliest woman, she experienced the time Adrian took care of little Emma, and she was sensitive to all this.

“Yes, I know. That's true." Adrian stares at the plane that starts accelerating and doesn't turn around until it starts to climb, "I'll take care of it, Kate. Don't worry. ”

Kate didn't talk, she just grabbed his arm and looked at him with some concern but trust. Adrian smiled and held Kate's waist. Pull her into her arms and see the plane drill into the clouds.

So much has happened in 01, and a lot of important things have happened in a number of areas over the course of the year, greatly affecting world trends, such as 9/11, when the EU announced the issuance of the euro on 1 January 02. And in the media, nothing is more influential than the thunderous attitude of AC Media.

Acquisition at the beginning of the year… Oscar to Adrian? Kowel took the top 10 TV spots in May, and led various commemorations after 9/11, again Adrian? Kowel, as a si, spent 100 million dollars to help the families of the victims, which also led to a tide of charity. Finally, throughout the Christmas period, from Monster Company to Eleven Rohans, from X-Men to King of the Rings to Harry Bot and the Magic Stone, the movie box office under the AC Media banner exploded with other groups.

How can an old-fashioned media group get out of a freak like Adrian when they're watching this young group step by step and sigh or be vigilant or not? But it's not over, and after finally getting rid of the sad and depressing year 01, the AC media hit them in the head again in '02, and although it was just the end of' 01, the shock didn't lose to the previous few things.

At the beginning of each year, an end is made to the previous year, in which some data are counted clearly, such as the total box office of the past year. The total box office in North America in 2001 was about 8.4 billion, but AC Media produced and distributed as many as 2.3 billion! That's right, it's a quarter of the total box office in North America all year round!

Although North America's box office is basically one of the biggest movie companies, and the other companies pick up some leftovers, a movie company that can have a billion dollars a year in box offices —— it's a box office, not a profit —— is already pretty amazing, and almost no media group takes up an entire quarter of the total box office in the United States like AC Media!

Early MGM might have that power, but it was based on monopolies, and now big movie companies, though powerful, have an absolute voice, as they did decades ago, which is no longer possible. So, the most important thing that AC Media is willing to do is that they make good enough movies for distribution.

So, even if other movie companies are incredibly jealous, they can't attack this absolute power, they can only mourn once again, why did Adrian show up? Kowell such a freak?! Isn't there a way out of this? Of course not.

“Beautiful data, though predictable, did not expect to reach this level," Adrian dropped the report on Claude's desk. “Can converge. ”

He has always known that only learning to share can make it bigger and stronger, and in a world where capital is nearing perfection, eating alone will only push you and your group to the right place. That is why, with Claude's full cooperation, AC Media has been able to move smoothly all the way to this point.

And the reason for the anomaly in '01 is not only to make high-profile moves, but also to introduce a variety of sè works on TV movies that fully squeeze the profit space of other companies, the key is to show reality, in - Levy!

“Let them see. How powerful we are.” That's what Adrian said.

This also did quite well, with North America's most popular TV dramas and most popular films in the AC media, who accounted for most of Oscar's important nominations, nine of the top ten places on the ratings list, and one group's year-round total box office accounting for a quarter of the total box office in North America, all of these shocking achievements are ample proof that the AC media is undoubtedly the number one in the world!

And then, 01 years passed. Their purpose had also been achieved, so they should also return to their original positions and remain somewhat low-key and not take all their profits away from them, as they had done last year.

“I know. Doesn't Beauty Have a Dream Factory Investment?” Claude laughed and would not see the benefit of doing so in his abilities. Not to mention, it was a long time ago, “But you, Ed, you said earlier that you would provide some ideas for a TV show, and then make it available for other stations to play. ”

“Don't worry, I've come up with a good subject, derived from CSI: The Naval Crime Investigation Service.” Adrian shrugged, "although it was also a breakthrough. But the style of" csi "is completely different, it's still just an idea, but soon the writers will be perfected, and I'm going to give it to CBS to play, how can we all be allies? ”

“Okay. Then I won't worry,” Claude laughed, "I like win-win strategies. ”

This is indeed a win-win strategy, and on the face of it, handing over your own TV drama to another station is detrimental to the interests of your own television station, but that is not the case. As stated earlier, the purpose of realism has been achieved, and then it should be underestimated, with some benefits to be shared. ABC has many channels, but brings all of the Sè TV dramas, especially many with very good viewership during the Golden Hours, which will evolve into competition between itself and itself, and the result will be considerable losses.

Instead of losing a lot of money, this self-produced and handed over to other TV stations can get more. In short, the model is that TV stations get advertising fees and producer groups get copyright fees, and cross-profitability reduces the risk, while also uniting allies and lowering the hostility of others. Why not do more? AC Media and Viacom have always had a great relationship, and naturally shared it with them first.

In fact, this model has been used in previous life. It was first introduced by Warner. As a media group, Warner also has its own wb television network. Unfortunately, for various reasons, it cannot be covered throughout the United States. It can be viewed free of charge in many places, but it needs to be viewed at a fee in some places. In this case, it would be too bad if they had produced the sè television drama, but could not maximize their benefits because of the limitations of the television network, so Warner came up with a way to produce it and turn it over to another television station for broadcast, both profitably and at reduced risk and with friends.

This practice changed the way television stations operated, knowing that before the 1990s, the four major television stations had essentially invested in their own production, with very few purchasing finished products from other production companies. Warner created a whole new model and promoted it, with the result that when the first decade of the twenty-first century passed, the television industry surpassed film in terms of net profit.

Unfortunately, for Adrian's sake, Warner's most important "Old Friends" was stolen, which made them limp a tui. Don't underestimate Old Friends, it may not be the longest life, it may not be the biggest investment, but it's definitely the most popular, none! It was with the unprecedented success of Old Friends - estimated by some to have generated about 4 billion dollars in revenue for Warner from the start to stop of the show - that Warner promoted their risk-taking model and gradually accepted it by other television stations and producers.

Then Adrian rolled out some of the good TV shows, and Warner, while adhering to this pattern and extending it to a certain extent, bought some of the good ABC TV shows from Fox, but they were quite a bit worse than previous lives during the same period.

Adrian, who also had some knowledge of television in his previous life, would not be unaware of the benefits of this model. In fact, he had already done so before, such as "Intern Doctor Fengyun" for CBS, or "Office Fengyun" for NBC, and now, after demonstrating his strength, he has thrown out such a plan, which can also be shown to Warner.

Besides, two or three years later, all TV shows with high ratings can be done by the TV production team under AC Media...
