King of Hollywood

As time went by in September, the heat in the movie market finally dropped, and although it had to be a little * * later, for the time being it had dropped from the peak to the bottom of the valley. - < > - So Heroes picked this time, when the big production in front had entered a period of fatigue, and the movie in the end of the summer vacation had not been shown in the back, filling the gap.

This is normal. Despite the fact that Heroes has the name of Oscar's best foreign language film and a lot of publicity in the previous period, most film critics gave good reviews, but after all, it is a Chinese film, and can only watch subtitles. There are some global concerns, and it is understandable to put it at this time. But they quickly took it easy, because with 2,000 exhibitors in place, the film won 21 million results in North America in its first week.

As I said before, in general, as long as the first four digits of the box office are similar to the number of exhibitors in the first week, the potential behind is worth exploring, so this is a good start.

None of this, however, requires Adrian's attention. He has confidence in Heroes. Although it is somewhat different from the original version, and the show time is a year earlier than the original, Hook Tiger Tiger Dragon evokes American curiosity about Martial Arts culture, coupled with good publicity, and will never lose to the original in North America's box office.

Perhaps the maximum cost of a box office is the same as the cost of purchasing an issue right, but don't forget that this is a buyout, and the profitability of DVD sales can be global.

So at this point he went to Las Vegas. He didn't go to relax, though he also traveled with a lot of women, and Vegas was close to California, but it was his first time alone. And the reason this happens naturally is work, Jeffrey? Carsenberg is in Las Vegas talking about a business.

“Steven has largely told me that he agrees with you, but I don't think it's necessary. You yourself admit that our animation studio is still promising, Ed, and I've revisited the production plan. The second part of Monster Shrek is on the ri course, and I'm sure this animation will bring the studio back to life.” That's what the bald guy with glasses said in the Carsonberg suite.

Adrian couldn't help but smile.

After commissioning Spielberg to speak, it was a while before he spoke to Carsenberg and learned that he was in Vegas, and Adrian simply came and interviewed him. Although he showed his sincerity, he also gave a much needed impression of Carsenberg.

“Sooner or later, Jeffrey,” Adrian said with a smile, “With all due respect, the dream factory is not bad at the moment. But it's not easy to expand again. But not expansion, you know, grouping is a trend for media companies, so whether it's expansion or not, there's no optimism, so what doesn't leave you behind? ”

Carsenberg is a smart guy. Despite some idealism among the three giants of Dream Factory, he deserved a lot of qualities as the CEO of Dream Factory, and Adrian directly clarified the topic, yes, he wanted the animation studio of Dream Factory.

“Yes, I admit, you're saying it's a possibility that when a new 3D animation is introduced, the studio gets a new student - but maybe not. Nobody can speak about the future, can't they? Three scenarios are most likely to arise: the dream factory maintains good momentum in film and television production, and the studio is resurrected from new animations, which is the best. Then there was a loss in film and television, and the animation studio continued to lose, which was the worst case scenario. Also, film and television are good, animation studios operate well due to continuing losses in animation studios and losses in film and television.” Adrian smiled and lifted his hands.

“Best of all,” he continued, "but if it was the middle two, I don't think anyone would be willing to take over at that time, and as for the last one, there might be a lot of people who wanted to take over. ”

Then Adrian stopped and still looked at Carsenberg with that determined deity.

“I know," the bald guy silenced and shrugged his shoulders, "but it wasn't inappropriate, and it wasn't too late to talk about separation at that point. ”

“It's your job, Jeffrey," Adrian frowned, "and you're not good at telling shareholders, are you? There's not only one way to beat Disney. ”

“Looks like you're ready, Ed.” Carsenberg took off his glasses and squeezed them to measure Adrian, who laughed without saying a word.

The advantage of talking to smart people is that some things don't need to be too clear, Adrian means very clearly, he is also one of the shareholders of Dream Factory and is represented on the board of directors, although basically only involved in ri constant management, but is well qualified to make this resolution on the board of directors. Unlike AC Media, DreamWorks has someone who can pinpoint a hammer, so if he really wants to do it, even if it doesn't work out, it can have serious consequences for DreamWorks.

Moreover, the relationship between Dream Factory and AC Media is very close and has reached a point where, if cooperation is suspended, it will definitely hurt a lot and give others a chance. If Adrian makes a malicious takeover, it will be difficult to escape the hands of AC Media unless they can find another media group to contend with. Even if he took a step back and did not seek control of the dream factory, but waited until later to separate the animation studio, he would definitely seek complete control rather than the current form of sharing shares with them.

Yes, “this is your heart” and “defeating Disney isn't the only way” mean that Carsenberg can continue to be in charge of everything in the animation studio, and Adrian wants to monopolize the Hollywood 3D animation movie market. In short, the segregated studio can still hold their shares, except that he is going to be a major shareholder. and has a certain degree of control.

This is a huge concession for Adrian's current power, and he has a good reputation in this area, at least until now, both Pix and Blue Sky Studios have created zi you very well.

“I need some time to think, Ed.” Carsenberg concludes.

Understandably, the profits from an animated movie are too great, and the profits generated around a popular animation are at least a few times larger than those produced in a box office, and Carsenberg naturally doesn't give up easily.

“No problem. I'm staying in Las Vegas for a few days, and you have plenty of time to think about it.” Adrian laughed.

Just let Carsenberg think for himself, because he's already shown his attitude, the animation studio at Dream Factory is a must-have. Actually, it doesn't matter anymore, Carsenberg said, "Monster Shrek 2" has been set up, and profitability can be expected as long as the animation studio at Dream Factory returns to the 3D animation queue. And they have AC media support in other ways. But maybe another loss like Pearl Harbor, when even if Carsenberg didn't want to, he had to take the initiative to separate it, and it wasn't too late.

But Adrian didn't want to share it with more people, and by that time, everyone could see the prospect of a dream factory animation studio. With more money, his plan to monopolize the 3D animation movie market could not be achieved.

Besides, Carsenberg doesn't have many choices, and I'm afraid they don't want too much money to separate them, and Adrian knows the truth. More importantly. Although he had confidence in his animation studio, he could not determine where he would go in the future, and because of changes in some factors, the studio had suffered a relatively large loss on the 2D animation.

Adrian's advantage in information is undoubtedly evident, in North America and even around the world during the first decade of the twenty-first century. The animation movie market is basically Pix, Dream Factory, Blue Sky Studio, and Blue Sky Studio is subject to size, basically Pix and Dream Factory are competing. Although, 10 years later, the animation studios cultivated by the film companies themselves began to work slowly, this pattern continued.

Imagine how profitable it would be if all three studios were in hand, and how influential AC media would be. That's one of the reasons why he would come to Las Vegas to interview Carsenberg.

“Fifteen o'clock, big.” As the dealer unveiled the gambling appliance, the dice in the two six-point, three-point pieces revealed itself very clearly.

“You lost again.” The gambler next to him laughed.

Adrian shrugged his shoulders, leaving the chips to the dealer, and then in the new round, threw the last 2,000 on top of 15, making no sense, so the 2,000 was gone.

“You're so unlucky, man. You should've quit when you lost the second round.” Another gambler shook his head as if he was sorry.

“It's okay." Adrian laughed amicably, then got up and left. He only redeemed 20,000 chips, won two handfuls first, doubled twice, but soon lost them all. No wonder the people next to him would say that.

But Adrian doesn't care, he doesn't like gambling, especially this kind of gambling, spending a little money to improve his mood is fine, throwing a thousand gold games like some movies... forget it. For both generations, with all the years of practice, the question of rational thinking has been engraved in the bone marrow, and Adrian hasn't gambled, but that must have happened with a 70% chance of winning, so whether it's Las Vegas or Atlantic City or some other gambling resort, he's not going to make his money.

Coming out of the Casino at Caesar's Palace, Adrian leisurely strolled down the street and looked back at the street, suddenly remembering what had happened at Caesar's Palace when he had come to visit Las Vegas for work. Although Julia and Zeta Jones had not objected to his disposition, they were somewhat uncomfortable, but they were used to it now, so they wouldn't even care if they saw Leah on his private plane.

After training, Leah Deatham has officially boarded the plane to replace Park Yaka, who continues to study medicine, as the new fourth stewardess, after a tutorial from Lin Xilai, and Adrian's full development in bed, Leah has been very honest with herself, and she has long realized that she has everything in her hands. So always find a way to show yourself in front of him.

For example, at a special party led by Eliza to celebrate her first boarding as a rookie, despite being pinched by three other women, she fought back under Adrian's watch, and was smart enough to stare at her sponsor, Eliza, chasing her hard and completely crushing her in the 69 games. But after this comparison, she and Eliza became good friends, and each time a few people could do it, Eliza couldn't take it anymore, and she took it from herself.

Well, the main reason I think about this is because he's in Las Vegas all by himself, and for Adrian, this hasn't happened in two years.

If you find another chick under the bed tonight, do it first. He came up with this thought in his heart, and then he heard the noise coming from the side.

Looking for sound, it was a pair of young men and women wearing sunglasses. Someone like the owner of a small shop on the street is arguing about something. Adrian picked his eyebrows in surprise to try to walk away, but thought about it and walked over: “He means, this little thing costs $10, not $8. ”

He speaks French. Their argument is actually very simple. It's not particularly good for young men and women from France. The conversation is basically understandable, but with some slang, it's a bit of a hassle. And this store is just a small store, unlike the big hotels that have dedicated waiters for foreign guests, there is inevitable misunderstanding in communication.

“$10 for this? This is a joke." The young man complained when he understood. Although the girl seemed to want the doll, he returned it to say no.

Adrian then helped translate the sentence back, and the three fat shopkeepers were very dissatisfied with their frowns. But I didn't say much, so I took it away.

“Thank you, sir, if it wasn't for you, it might be Jing.” After resolving the matter, the young man and his own girlfriend thanked Adrian.

“It's no big deal, there's just a communication problem, if you want to buy a souvenir. Each hotel has a dedicated counter, which may be more expensive, but the service is good, and places like this are usually places where the locals pick up their goods.” Adrian explained it to them.

“You speak French well. Are you French?” The girl asked curiously.

“No, beautiful lady, I'm American.” Adrian smiled.

“If you don't mind, let's find a place to sit down and talk.” The young man looked around and pointed to an open-air cafe not far away.

Adrian is fine now, so he promised.

“Are you out traveling?” After sitting down and ordering a cup of coffee and sending away the waiter, Adrian asked casually.

“Well... sort of.” The French girl replied that she took off her sunglasses and smiled, but the French lad immediately said, "In fact, we're going to see if Las Vegas is a good place to have a big wedding. ”

“You want to get married?” Adrian is a little surprised, "if I'm right, you won't go beyond... wait! ”

He watched the girl suddenly squeeze her eyes, her eyebrows show light makeup, giving a beautiful feeling, with a little temptation, dark brown hair is perfect for her, if the hairline could be lower, it would be perfect.

“I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you, but where have we met?” Adrian asked abruptly.

This is the kind of question, and it's somewhat unhappy to ask a man's girlfriend, but instead of being angry, the young man smiled proudly and clung to his girlfriend: "Look, honey, your reputation is all over America. ”

The girl laughed a little embarrassed and reached out, “Hello, my name is Alicia. Alicia? Yakota, this is my fiancé, Jeremy? Chartley. ”

“Ha, I remember, the famous French singer who sang Madonna's Beautiful Island," Adrian's eyes glistened, "Madonna once praised you, saying you sang very well. ”

“Really?” The French girl, Alice, opened her eyes and revealed her excited god, sè, with some suspicion at the same time.

“Of course, she didn't like talking to me very much, but she did.” Adrian laughed, and he remembered something, and he introduced himself in this confused young man's eyes: “Yes, my name is Adrian. Adrian? Colwell, a Hollywood film director and producer. ”

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Cowell.” Shatley said that, then sucked on the cool air, and some looked incredibly at Adrian.

Ariel next to him reacted, and then grew his mouth.

“You said... you said... who are you... the miracle director?” Chartley asked with some stutter.

“If no one else in Hollywood ever calls me that again, it should be me.” Adrian smiled a little and then pulled out his card, the one with the director's name on it, not the one by the chairman of the AC Media Board.

“Oh, my God." And after the card was confirmed, Chartley couldn't help but marvel, "Are you really a miracle director? You're a miracle director! ”

Ariel, while a little embarrassed to knock on him next to him, thought it was rude for him to react in such a big and small way, but couldn't help but look excitedly at Adrian.

“Calm down, man, we're on the street now.” Adrian woke up with a smile.

“Oh, yes, of course, I'm just... a little excited, just excited.” After taking two more deep breaths, Chartley finally calmed down and was still a young man under the age of twenty.

But Alice doesn't care that much.

“Can I have your autograph?” The first time she found the pen and the kid handed it over, her eyes sparkled. (To be continued)
