Chapter 232: Amazing ratings

After returning to Los Angeles, Adrian's life has become a lot easier. Although the crew of "This Killer Isn't Too Cold" came back one day before him because of his trip to Miami and New Orleans, it does not mean that the post-production work will begin soon. . Take a break and rest for a few days, anyway, there is time this year.
As for the other aspects, the professionals of his own companies are responsible. He only needs to pay attention to the situation through Charlize and give his opinions. This is how it is to be a boss. Some things really need to be controlled by yourself, but some things are not needed. If everything is personal, what do the professionals need to do?
However, although things at work have decreased, life troubles have increased a lot. For example, to arrange a reasonable appointment time. I encountered this situation when I came back to deal with Pixar's acquisition last time. Monica and Julia called to ask him to go out, so Charlie and the young girl at the party on the day of the filming ended. When intimate in the room, Charlize teased him like that.
In addition, he and Julia's scandal returned to the public eye. After a period of time, it has faded a lot. After all, except for the first photos, there is no more evidence. Coupled with the ambiguous answers from the two, the heat gradually fades.
However, at the end of June, "Four Weddings and a Funeral" began to play a trailer, so the scandal was brought up by reporters. Adrian vowed that he had invited Julia as the heroine. Although the journalists mostly concentrated outside Julia's villa, although Adrian was very careful, they were almost caught.
He happened to be out of Julia ’s secret villa in Santa Monica that day. The two spent a pleasant four days here, recalling the madness they had here, so they did n’t care much about the surroundings. It was not until I came out of a nearby convenience store that I found that there were many suspicious characters around. Fortunately, Adrian wore a hat when he came out, and immediately warned Julia not to come out through the mobile phone, plus the other party might just hear that there were The people suspected of them appeared here, so they didn't stay long before they left-for paparazzi, staying in the same place for an afternoon really is not long.
That's the case. The tabloids still publish reports such as "Adrian and Julia Suspected for a Weekend in Santa Monica", capitalizing on close-ups in spring and autumn style, attracting a lot of attention.
Adrian didn't take these too seriously, and he wouldn't mind publishing them if it hadn't been created for the "Four Weddings and One Funeral". Moreover, because the publicity effect is not bad, people in the film critics have expressed their concern, and he deliberately created another scandal.
It's not a big deal. The reporters took photos while dining with Monica in an Italian restaurant. He originally entered her house for half an hour and then came out, but considering Julia's mood, he still only sent her. Something happened at the door.
When Adrian was leaving, Monica's eyes were rather resentful, but she didn't say much, after all, she and Julia were different. Therefore, Adrian rewarded her well, took her back to the villa when she was on the cusp, and used up all the available places. As a result, Monica lay in bed the next day for a whole day.
In fact, it is not as exaggerated as the cusp, most of the news is based on "Adrian makes a new love?" ", And a few are" Monica and Adrian? " "In short, it is to take out Adrian called Monica as his own muse at Cannes last year, and then say that in this regard, the two may be in contact.
In short, there is not enough evidence. Neither Julia nor Monica have taken intimate photos that can be used as evidence. In addition, Adrian's identity is not the same as the star. Ordinary people or unclear. They don't know it, so they are fairly compliant. Even those unscrupulous tabloids can only say that he may be holding him right.
"Your recent limelight is really good, Ed, I should congratulate you again." Claude said on the phone haha.
"Should I say thank you, then?" Adrian said angrily. "Well, Crow, I didn't call you to hear what you said."
"Okay, okay," Crowder sighed. "Really impatient, so I'll start with ..."
Claude was much busier than he was this time. He must pay attention to the competition between Redstone and Diller on Paramount, always grasp the extent of the early acquisition of TBS, and pay attention to the situation in Japan. Clinton It is a foregone conclusion that the government is forcing the yen to appreciate. It is just that the Japanese savings have been swept away most of the time. Even if they were able to collect some money this time, it was definitely not as good as the last harvest.
However, no matter how small the mosquitoes are, the resources in Adrian's hands are not comparable at the beginning. Even if the harvest is not much, as long as the operation is careful, it will not be much less than last time.
In addition, Claude also made several good acquisitions, such as the acquisition of the well-known Evra Publishing Company and its merger with that company, and the acquisition of British bullfrog games company and Ai Adrian, a Doss game company, does not know the strength of the former, but has a little impression of the game they are developing called "Theme Park", which should be very good. As for the latter, oh, they developed the game Tomb Raider.
"You mentioned this game company to me. After analyzing and discussing it, I think their price / performance ratio is good and the prospects are okay, so I bought it," said Crowder.
Well, Adrian admits that this is a big surprise. If their 3D engine has been made, then it will just make it into the game of Tomb Raider, which is already a novel.
In this way, "Resident Evil" can also be considered as a game, and it may be handed over to the Silicon and Neural Key Studio-oh, they have officially changed its name to ah, Blizzard Studio. Although it was strange for them to make this game, it didn't matter. It happened that Pixar was going to lay off some game programmers and let them and some people here merge into a small department to develop the game he wanted to develop.
Adrian had promised that he would not interfere with specific matters when he bought silicon and nerve bonds. So he would definitely satisfy this little requirement. He would like to know that the American-style "Resident Evil" would be What it looks like.
"By the way, I can't wait to buy TBS now. I wonder if you can create a miracle." After talking about a few work things, Claude said suddenly.
"There are indeed some ideas. If they are well-operated, they should become classic works, but it may be difficult to reach such a height." Adrian answered after thinking about it.
"What do you think of this TV show so high?" Claude asked in surprise.
"Of course, I have a clear idea of ​​my idea," Adrian said leisurely.
This TV series is naturally "Friends" which was officially broadcasted in late June. Although the schedule of this TV series is arranged to the beginning of the summer vacation, it can be advertised as early as possible, not only broadcast some clips from time to time in the trailer The appetite also deliberately pointed out the idea from the miracle director Adrian, so it attracted a lot of attention. Especially after Adrian's scandal was leaked, they deliberately played a little.
It is precisely because of the unremitting advertising offensive that the first episode of "Friends" directly reached 35% of the ratings after the broadcast, which is an incredible figure for a new drama. But this is just the beginning. When the second episode aired, the data rose to 45%, and after the third episode aired recently, it rose directly to 55%.
Although this triple jump is not certain in the American drama, there is absolutely no one before. The humorous language and funny daily life of the characters in the play resonated with many Americans. After watching it, many people called to ask for a rebroadcast. Seeing that the TV show was so popular, it was arranged in the daytime. Many people who watched it chose to watch it again, and many people who missed it for various reasons also seized the opportunity to watch it, so the ratings of the rebroadcast were not much lower than the first broadcast.
Faced with such a situation, it is natural to laugh together, because this surprising and even horrible viewing rate has led many advertisers to come to the door with a check, and have issued high advertising fees, even with Bosworth. Sri Lankan Pictures also shared considerable profits. In addition, the stocks that have been pulled have added tens of millions of dollars in revenue.
At the same time, ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Friends has also received unanimous praise from critics. Although only three episodes have been broadcast so far, many people already think that this is a wonderful work.
"Six people have their own personalities and characteristics. In the city of New York, ordinary but interesting stories are staged. The screenwriters and directors have a good grasp of the humor in life, as if it happened to us. Plus six It ’s no wonder that an actor ’s wonderful performance will be so popular, and we have every reason to look forward to the next episode.
This is an article published by the well-known critic Salem Sid on the Washington Post.
In short, the most popular TV series in the United States in the first half of the year has broadcast three episodes of "Friends", and the most popular character is not the confused young lady Rachel Green-this is a deliberate opinion poll Yes, the sweet image of Jennifer Aniston and the full character of this character have won the support of most people.
No wonder Claude would sigh like this. If this TV series is broadcast on the TBS channel, he can seize the opportunity to expand the original television network even larger.
Adrian certainly understands this regret, but unfortunately he has no better way. After all, he is not sure that there will be no TV series of the same type before, so he can only start with it, and regret it. ()
