Chapter 42: Development of the film company

Although Adrian also beat some people through Lavern because of the company's previous performance, but a small number of people always go to work with a mixed mind. This is actually normal. Of course, it is also normal to ask them to pack and leave. Any company that wants to develop will not allow this kind of people to be superfluous.
The next step was to expand the various departments. Adrian gave them all to La Verne, and he only made two requests. The first is to sign a few good screenwriters as soon as possible. Frankly speaking, the screenwriters of the screenwriting department are now ready to help modify the level of adjustment, and what Adrian needs is to give the ideas and regulations. The person who wrote the script.
The two films he is currently making and the next few films, all the scripts are done by himself. There was no such thing. But over time, there will only be more and more films to be produced. Is it possible that he will write the script alone? The screenwriters' union has already stored more than ten script outlines.
La Verne has no opinion on this. He knows all about Adrian selling the script to those film companies. If the editorial department can have a screenwriter to help the big boss write a few more high-cost box office scripts The development of the company is undoubtedly huge. But for another request from Adrian, he was puzzled.
"Established a TV series production department?" In the Adrian office, Lafferne asked inexplicably, "Why?"
"Of course I was preparing for a TV series, Raffer," Adrian shrugged, "what do you think I would do?"
"But ... our situation is just getting better, so don't rush to expand horizontally, Ed?" Laffern reminded gently, apparently he was opposed.
"I know your concerns, Laffer, but don't worry," Adrian didn't feel upset, and he knew what Laffern was worried about. "I didn't say that a complete department would be set up immediately, nor did I say I want to see the work immediately. I need you to set up the framework, recruit people to run in, build a more professional team, and wait for the time to start production. I will give you enough time and funds, of course , This does not mean that you can squander at will. "
"May I know what it means when time is up?" Lafferne thought about it before returning.
"Remember the thing I told you a few days ago? My goal is not just to make movies." Adrian smiled slightly, before he revealed some of the entertainment media company that Claude founded. The matter is for La Verne, La Verne is a smart man and very capable. After the film company grows, he is the best candidate for the CEO.
Paula Fern looked sternly: "I see, Ed, I'll do it."
"That's it," Adrian nodded, and then thought of something, "Yes, you can let them send a test tape to the TV network to practice making a TV show, if it is really fancy What a bad thing. "
Major US television networks rarely invest in TV dramas by themselves. Generally, film and television production companies first produce 20 to 40 minutes of images and give them to the person in charge of the television network. If the other party finds it valuable, they will buy and let the film and television company produce a season Come out and schedule playback according to the content. Of course, if the ratings do not reach the ratio they want, they will be cut off without hesitation.
Therefore, it ’s a good idea to use the method of making a trial band to let the team run in. At the same time, you can also take advantage of this opportunity to train screenwriters. The script of American dramas is generally responsible for 5 to 6 people. Every episode of the outstanding American drama will have something to watch, or it is suspense or funny, and the plot will be adjusted according to the audience's opinions, so it is a great test for the quality of the screenwriter. And if there is a TV network that buys it, it can increase the company's revenue. If it is a hit, it will greatly increase the company's popularity. Why not do such a thing?
"I see." Lafferne nodded.
Adrian is dealing with the film company's affairs, and Claude is not idle. AC Entertainment Media is soon established. Although the name is really bad enough, the first two letters were taken, but Adrian didn't care about it. The company's name is just a symbol, it has no influence, and the name is so impressive and useless.
Although Adrian gave Claude the full power, it does not mean that he would not care about development. But Crowder did n’t need his help at all, and quickly set up the company without saying anything. He also dug several talents from his father ’s company—the godfather accused Adrian of complaining on the phone and said that they Two are unknown. Adrian just smiled when he heard it. He knew that the godfather was only a little unwilling. Every father would want his son to inherit his mantle, and every wise father knew that his son needed to start his own business. .
Even if young people are very aggressive, and even if Claude is capable, there are some things that cannot be solved so quickly, such as the acquisition of publishing companies and brokerage companies. The former is okay. After the new media company has run in, it can just go to a poorly operating publishing company to negotiate; but in the latter, after the acquisition, it must be reorganized according to the CAA system and trained as a broker. This kind of work can't be done in a few days.
Adrian can't help anything here, the only thing that can be done is to write a check of 2 million for Dennis, and then let him take a good rest for half a year. Although the second week of "Memory Fragment" was not satisfactory at the weekend, the total box office in North America was only about 21 million after increasing to more than 1,000 theaters, but this does not mean that the box office will decline to the end.
Because there are so many clues and details in "Memory Fragment", it is not easy to understand it all at once, even Roger Albert admits it. This indirectly gave people a hard-to-understand impression of the movie, which affected the box office. But it is also these clues and details that are closely related to the story will make those who like it can't help but watch it again and again, so they will bring a group of people into the theater later, so I believe that the box office of "Memory Fragment" will not be the same as " The difference between the two big smoke guns is too far, that is, the theater line may be divided more.
So Adrian still gave Dennis a red envelope that was 4 times the last time, even if the box office was not good at the end, it didn't matter. Claude made a fortune for him in oil futures, and these funds were not all invested. Going to a newly established media company, he doesn't need that much for the time being. He will also need to invest funds elsewhere, such as absorbing millions of shares of Microsoft and Cisco each.
He originally wanted to hold more shares. Although the stocks of these two companies are not the same as the price of Chinese cabbage just after they went public, the development tide of the IT industry has not yet arrived, and it is still cheaper than those of large companies. But the problem is that companies with market values ​​of only tens of millions each now have 5 million each. But it doesn't matter, don't look at it now only 5 million, as long as there are no accidents, it will increase hundreds of times after 8 years.
Well, the topic returns to Dennis, because the agent company has not been able to operate smoothly for a while, Adrian simply let him rest for the first half of the year, since May last year, the other side has been working closely with each other and he is busy with two movies , And really should relax. Not to mention, the next few films of Adrian do not require his participation.
Frankly, Adrian wanted to arrange a role for him, and even wanted him to continue to play the leading role in the next movie. If he can show his acting skills at a super-standard level, a little operation will definitely make the fame that has been initially established to a higher level, thus becoming a front-line actor. It's just that this film is related to the development of Adrian's plan. No possible mistakes are allowed. Although Dennis has been praised for his performance in "Memory Fragments", he is criticized by some film critics because he is too young. So, Adrian had to come and go and had to enable the "original class".
It doesn't matter. Anyway, some movies let him participate ~ EbookFREE.me ~ It's enough to pick a few good points at that time. Besides, this time it can be considered a small test for him. Adrian leaning on the high chair in the office and looking at the ceiling thought so. Unconsciously, the corners of his mouth were raised, because of the film critic's sake, he remembered Kate, who was far away in London. Compared with those European critics at the Berlin Film Festival, some film critics in the United States treat her slightly more harshly. Words such as "wood-like" are quite good words, and Kate, who is only 17 years old, is unavoidable fun.
"Hi, dear, did you just get up?" Adrian dialed the phone and looked at the time on the wall.
"Hey Ed, how are you? Call me at this time." There was a soft voice yawning over the phone. Adrian was able to outline in his mind that Kate was holding the quilt and wearing only underwear. Lazy crawling on the bed.
因为 "Because I miss you now," Adrian said with a smile, "Noisy until you sleep?"
当然 "Of course not," Kate chuckled, and then sighed. "If only you could show up now."
I was probably aware of the depression in her tone, and she changed the subject immediately: "Yes, I met a very interesting thing in school a few days ago ..."
The two chatted like this, as if there were endless topics, it took a long time before they reluctantly hung up the phone. Next, Adrian sat on the chair with his hands clasped for a few seconds, thinking a little smile.
Anyway ... I have been resting recently, so ... He pressed a button on the phone on the desk: "Ms. Jennyson, please trouble me to book a ticket to London, as soon as possible, thank you!"
