King of Hollywood

Adrian is also not an avid sports fan, and he has always had an attitude of admiration but not commitment to various sports, even though he often goes to some games with his own women, hockey, basketball, baseball, American football, and attendance on the field is rewarding. Perhaps because of rebirth, that atmosphere could not infect him completely, and a part of his soul could always stand on the void, watching this fanatical crowd calmly and thinking silently.

So, he wanted to finger the Lakers, the same reason Claude wanted to finger the Dallas cowboys, and the most heard about the NBA in his previous life was the Purple Gold Dynasty, except for Yao's big allied Houston rocket. O'Neill, the Great Shark, Cobby, and Barban are familiar names, and Adrian wouldn't have shot a team as far away from California as Claude did, and Los Angeles had a famous NBA team, so go for it.

“Hey, Ed, Jerry? Buzz has promised to accept your investment.” Claude warned.

“But what I want is the whole lake.” Adrian raised his hands and drew a big circle in the air, "Bass did, not just trying to use ac media to increase Lakers' influence, but it was impossible to open an empty cheque. ”

“I think this is already good, and Buzz promised to give up a small part of their power. After all, they have been running the lake for more than two decades, and there is no good in being too aggressive.” Claude persuaded.

“Really? Would you agree if the Dallas cowboys made the same deal?” Adrian then asked back.

“I will continue to negotiate with them on specific terms. But I would never want complete control of the team.” Claude answered quickly.

Adrian frowned, but before talking, Claude laughed: "Okay, Ed, do you have enough time and energy to run the lake? What's the difference between selling it and letting a professional team take care of it? And Buzz made it clear, privately, that this was his greatest concession, that the Buzz family would never give up the Lakers and that they would do their utmost to resist at all costs if they were too persecuted. Honestly, if that's the case. I'm afraid it will have some impact on your reputation, and even if you do, it won't make the whole team feel good. ”

Adrian snorted softly and did not take this threat to heart at all, although the Lakers had just taken the Triple Crown, but it is difficult to deal with it now. With Ivanka to help gather information, and with some knowledge of basketball, there were some memories in previous life, which we can now add. There is still some understanding of the current situation of the Lakers.

The big shark, though in conflict with Black Baman, has not yet reached the point of tearing his face apart, which will not erupt until the Lakers faint, what the hell are the four giant stars doing, and then lose the finals in defeat, which is still superficially united. But this is not Adrian's most depressing, and the most depressing thing is that Big Yao has gone to the rocket. In the light of the habit that the Chinese have always had, combined with Wang Dazheng's forecar, as long as he has vigorously cultivated under the rocket, nothing has been done to sorry him, he will most likely have to retire from the service of the rocket.

Adrian was planning to open up the Chinese market. But I missed a great opportunity because I couldn't get along with Buzz. How could I be happy? That's why I said something like this for the whole lake. But then again, even if we bring Big Yao here now, it's not easy to arrange. Should we let the big shark sit on the bench? What the Chinese audience wants is a person of their own who can work hard in the field and show their charm to the fullest. Instead of showing up in the replacements from beginning to end, not many people like it even when they take the championship ring.

So if you want to use him to further explore the Chinese market, then you can only think of ways to do it once O'Neill leaves and his rookie contract expires, and if the plan on the other side of the continent goes well, you might be able to think of ways to do it from there. That brings us back to where we started, how to have a say in the Lakers, as Adrian did before. Buzz would have promised to accept his investment, mostly to leverage the influence of AC Media, and everyone knew Adrian's position in Hollywood, as well as the Lakers' long-standing strategy of stars.

“Forget it for a while, maybe when you don't think about it, a solution will emerge," Claude laughed, turning the subject off, "Why don't you tell me about your little toy, Ed? ”

“Oh?” Adrian frowned again, "Is there a problem? ”

“Why would you want to separate it from our group instead of being part of it?” Claude asked straight away that when there were only two of them, neither he nor Adrian would pretend.

“It's simple, it's not a toy, Claude, it's going to be a social kingdom with 500 million or more users.” Adrian answered very seriously.

Naturally, they're talking about Facebook, and it's been almost two months since the website was officially launched. Although three Stanford students are expected to be officially launched in three months, the one who spoke to Adrian in the first place, the one with glasses, Moradi? Fischer's guy was smart enough to know that Adrian shouldn't be doing this site for fun, even though he didn't fully see the value of Facebook, so Adrian would try to make his point and profile every time he asked and asked, even if it didn't work at all and made it very hard, so it went live a lot sooner.

And Victor was getting ready after his honeymoon, and while he was surprised that Adrian was telling the truth at his wedding, even though Facebook was just a website, he still resigned from Yahoo a week after it went live and took over from running Facebook. Then, with Victor's strenuous promotion and Adrian's strong support, users are now occupying Stanford campus and surpassing 10,000. Adrian's memories of Facebook, though incomplete, are still doing quite well thanks to the efforts of Fischer and others. Used college students are always praising it.

And then, naturally, he's investing in expansion, and he's not interested in a school, a school strategy, and he's targeting all Ivy League schools as soon as he does, and then other universities, and then North America, Europe, and India, and a few of the people who are currently running the site predict that if it goes well, the number of users will likely exceed 5 million by the end of the year!

That's why Claude's eyes are on it, even though Facebook goes live in a low profile. Many times it was spread through e-mail between students, so that nobody knew that the idea for the site came from Adrian, but as one of the people who knew how to create the rise of AC media, he wouldn't be able to see the future of the social network.

But forgive me, after hearing that there might be 500 million users in the future, Claude couldn't help but catch a breath of cool air: “Are you sure? ”

Adrian laughed with a little pride: "I explained it in detail to Victor, if we consider our current network environment to be true. Then the advent of facebook will lead us all! ”

“Please abbreviate!” Claude didn't have the guts to say it.

“Okay, well, simply put," Adrian shrugged, "is the kind of information that online people gather by visiting websites, and no era has ever been so full of information that people can go through what they want to see. But after collecting the information? It is inevitable to share or show like-minded people the information you collect, so there are always many posts in popular forums, so even communication software ico and msm will be so popular. However, it is not easy to find friends or acquaintances with similar interests in these ways. And the advent of Facebook compensates for this, where netizens can simply build their own circles in the network, from this point of view, direct communication between people on the network. ”

Speaking of which, he paused and waited for Claude to taste it before smiling again: "Should I emphasize it again? ”

“Of course not.” Claude raised his hands immediately. Adrian doesn't have to say anymore, and that's why Victor took over the Facebook operation so happily.

But Claude still doesn't intend to let it go: "However, I still don't understand, even if it's not part of the AC media system, why not follow the previous protocol? ”

For companies that AC Media has been unable to acquire and hold shares in, for example, Apple, Google. Always part of Adrian, part of Claude, then part of AC Group, so that it doesn't look aggressive and can influence their corporate strategy when needed. But Facebook is now Adrian, and Victor, Claude, Charlize, Ivanka split the rest, and finally gave it to three programmers.

Charlize and Ivanka were also on the shareholders' list, mainly because when he asked them to dine with him that night, saying what he wanted the programmers to do, Adrian asked randomly: Do you want to join the stock? Charlize and Ivanka looked at each other and answered without hesitation: Yes!

Just kidding. Opportunity not to be in Adrian's favorite project. What would that be? Even they were proud to announce that they would eat as many shares as he offered, Ivanka would not say, and the savings were quite generous, and that her father would certainly be willing to lend her money. As for Charlize, after all these years, most of the use was either company benefits or Adrian bags, and she could count as a senior employee of AC Media. The shares in the whole group were still a little, little, a few million, but there were.

Of course, this is impossible, so the final composition turns out to be like that, and the AC media is excluded.

“Let's just say, Claude, facebook is just the beginning, if it weren't for the latest version of flashplayer from macromedia, stability would have yet to be examined, and I would have put another idea into action. Adrian explained," Beyond that, I have an idea on my blog that when people generally start using mobile phones that are accessible to the Internet, new ways of blogging will emerge. So if Facebook works well, I will also separate our blogging business and form a new company with Facebook. ”

“You mean…” Claude squeezed his eyes. Surprised in his eyes, he had obviously thought of the future.

“Exactly, unless you don't mind two antitrust investigations in three days, or think we're going to have the same luck as Microsoft.” Adrian, open the door, "now that's good, like broker companies, we still have plenty of voice, even if it's merged with hard work. And Victor is trustworthy, both in character and ability, simply by equipping him with an adventurous assistant. ”

Adrian thinks Morady's the man? Fisher's good. Some love, but good ability and moderate ambition. And, of course, who is more appropriate, Victor's own attitude.

“I get it.” Claude was silent for half an hour, and put it simply.

Of course, he understands what Adrian means, and this year's AC media, though relatively understated, is doomed to a lot of attention. If it continues to expand and is still on the web. And in the end, it's going to be targeted —— if those sites are really as valuable as Adrian says.

Investing in an entirely new group in a personal capacity may not be as flexible and varied as incorporating the AC Media Department, but it is not easy to grasp from a legal standpoint. And while the amount of information in modern society is getting bigger and bigger, as long as the methods are right and contradictory information is constantly being instilled in people, there is no fear that they will not be able to grasp it. For media groups, people are always passive in accepting information.

Adrian left Claude's office without saying much or talking about anything else, and he was confident that he would make the best decision for everyone. As for Dallas cowboys and lakers. Well... let Claude try it out first, and Buzz needs to talk about it. It's not enough to just accept the investment, and it's going to cost a lot to want them to help promote the Lakers.

But American football has a goal, and basketball has a goal. English-style soccer or not? To buy a club like Abramovich?

Adrian frowned slightly, acquiring Lakers to be in Los Angeles, and most of Hollywood's celebrities loved Lakers - and of course fast boats. In the second past life, Yao Big and Hollywood had some knowledge of nba because of their films. But he didn't know much about it, so he knew that even if he got the Lakers, he wouldn't necessarily be able to play around, and he didn't know much about English football. How much could a guy who didn't even look at the World Cup know?

His eyes suddenly lit up. Limited memory in this regard tells him that Abramovic appears to have acquired Chelsea in '03?! - How about a bad laugh and swing from the corner of your mouth and grab Chelsea?

Although such acquisitions are sure to have started a long time ago, it is interesting to be an occasional outburst of households, after all, in terms of connectivity and funding. And is it better to sell the club to a Russian, or to a well-known director who often makes British films and has a good popularity in the UK?

And how many more can you get to expand the influence of the AC media in the UK and get a springboard to enter Europe, isn't that what ESPN intends to do? And not knowing English football and players just so he could let go of it to management, just call it a magic bird or something... Oh, Jose? Murinho, this is the only football coach he can remember, dig him up and give him maximum support.

Well, by the way, there's a pretty good young English player named George? Wood, perverted, glorified after 05 years, seems to be the captain of the England National Team, remember Murinho's adopted son? Or did he dig it up and kiss it like a father and son? Whatever. Let somebody check it out.

Adrian, who obviously doesn't know how to confuse his memories, begins to wonder how disgusting Abramovic is.

Turning to August, no matter how hot the summer holidays were, Ring King, Hacker Empire and the later days of The Wicked Head all went on in an orderly fashion. The first two trailers also began to be shown, while the third, like when it was started, kept a low profile and the media didn't even know there was such a movie because Adrian was still waiting for the moment.

Some commercial masterpieces targeting the Christmas archives, such as Pirates of the Caribbean, which Miramax invested in, began almost as soon as Weinstein finished filming at the end of this year, pressing for a late production period and ordering the crew to die, which must be shown by the end of this year.

“I've dedicated two of my best actresses to you, and your promises have never materialized - oh, I'm not blaming anything, I'm just trying to prove that the promise of a miracle director never fails to materialize!” Although Weinstein was crowned with answers, Adrian knew that he was just anxious to push Miramax with a big commercial film.

After the millennium, with the emergence of a series of big investment films such as Titanic, Spider-Man, and X-Men, the gap between big movie companies and medium second-line movie companies was widened, which was an absolutely bad signal for Weinstein, who was keen to turn Milamax into a big movie company, so he was eager to push Milamax even further - by this time, he would no longer believe in miracle directors.

Adrian was also left to do this, and if middle- and second-line movie companies were too obsessed with big investments, taking a slightly wrong step could be a long shot, the best example being the new line of previous generations. And now, without the new line of Ring King, these two are not growing fast, but they're stable, Robert? Shay doesn't want to bet too much either * *, if Miramax really gets to that point... the Weinstein brothers are waiting to give him a lifetime job.

To make Adrian a little happy and sad, Kayla is making a movie in England, the one she said before the Cannes Film Festival that had a partner, the same British writer who worked with Adrian, Richard? Curtis writes and directs True Love Above All, and of course, the new line is invested.

So she's not here right now, and Adrian has a headache for her, and she misses her hands and her own work -- a soft pair that already has the size of a b.
