Chapter 230 Solid Foundation
Ron Meyer (note) pushed Mén into the conference room, and the buzzing discussion stopped suddenly. He glanced at the mén leaders in the sitting departments and asked directly after sitting in the position: "Tell me what you think, everyone."
However, no one spoke after waiting for a while, after all, they actually couldn't talk about such things. Just a few days ago, one week after the Cannes Film Festival ended, the media publicly announced that they would buy Universal Pictures from Seagram. Anyone who knows about the media style knows that once they publicly announce the acquisition of a company, the following things have already been done. This is true when purchasing TBS, and it is also true when acquiring.
In fact, as the current president of Universal Pictures, and has worked in this position for many years, Mayer also has a good network in Hollywood, and naturally has heard of the action of the media. What if I just know it? He ca n’t do this kind of thing, and several major media groups, Warner and Disney are planning to jointly establish a television network, Viacom ’s acquisition of CBS has reached its final stage, and News Corporation is temporarily unable to expand, as long as the media is not big Wrong, Universal Pictures is basically what they have.
In this case, why did he pull the mén executives here to hold such a meeting after the other party publicly announced its acquisition of Universal?
"At least it's not worse than the Japanese or Canadians. The media knows how to make a movie." Someone finally made a sound after a moment, and when he started, others began to talk.
"The media is very powerful. Although it is expanding rapidly, it has a high degree of stability. It also has TBS and it is quite strong."
"Although Adrian Cowell is not as capable as the chairman, he is quite capable as a producer and director. Apart from the movies, many reality shows and TV series of his TV stations are also said to have come from him."
Although the head of each department mén talked a lot, Ron Meyer never said anything, but kept his eyelids low and kept silent. In fact, his mind is not difficult to guess. Since Wa · Zellman sold Universal to Panasonic in the 1980s, the ownership of this film company changes every few years, which has greatly affected Universal ’s performance. If it weren't for this reason, Universal's qualifications would not rank behind the top seven movie companies.
Even so, under the leadership of Ron Meyer, Universal Pictures still maintained a considerable surplus, even if Adrian appeared to divide up some good works that originally belonged to them, or Spear, who has always cooperated very well. Berg and his friends started their own dream factory, and we can see that this person is quite capable.
However, this is exactly the reason that made him a little worried. Once Global is acquired by the media, what situation will he face? Just as a supervisor just said, although I have never heard of Adrian Cowell's specific management, but he is unparalleled in the production of various programs, not to mention the title of the miracle director and his Looking forward to xìng's eyes, but look at some of the most popular TV shows and reality shows now. Which one was not produced according to his ideas, not only promoted the development of various reality shows, but also indirectly let various media companies start. Plan to set up your own TV network.
Such a person also has huge capital and media groups, which of course can develop the global flying, but what will happen to Meyer's position? Universal is neither Bosworth nor Newline or Miramax. Anyone with a good eye knows what the media lacks, so once Universal Pictures is acquired, they are bound to hold it firmly in their hands, so ... When the Cannes Film Festival opened just a week ago, Ted Turner suddenly announced that he would no longer hold the position of Vice President of Media. Although the statement was simple and sudden, a spokesperson for the media also publicly praised Turner in recent years. Contribute, but many people know he is out.
So, how could Meyer not consider himself?
While discussing the situation facing the world, the media is also discussing this issue. The difference is that only two people participated in the discussion.
"Sigram has actually succumbed internally, and now they just want to sell the world for as good a price as possible, and they see our minds." Claude said lazily leaning on the high chair.
"Of course, after shooting to the world, everyone knows that we want a movie company with a weight in Hollywood, so it doesn't matter if the price is slightly higher." Adrian flipped through the things in his hand and paused for a few seconds before He added: "You know, you need to prevent 'night length' and 'dream more'."
"Come again, can't you say it in English?" Claude said dissatisfied, but Adrian smiled and just didn't answer, and then he stomped up again: "It's okay, big deal to buy Westgram Then, the industries that have nothing to do with the media are separated and sold. The funds in Southeast Asia have been withdrawn, and we still have enough capital for financing. "
Speaking of which, he suddenly found his partner somewhat surprised, and immediately reached out and waved in front of him: "Hey, what do you think of."
"Huh? Oh, nothing," Adrian said, smiling. "Canadians aren't stupid. They know our resolve. Even if they can't bear it, they have to consider the consequences."
Seagram didn't intend to sell the world at first, but the media immediately hit them in the market with a small price. Seagram, which was already a bit overwhelming, suddenly worsened, and finally agreed to negotiate, and then pulled the skin. Until now. Although the timing is very good, no matter whether allies, enemies or neutrals have their own affairs to be busy, they are not taken care of here, but just in case, Adrian still hopes to eat the globe as soon as possible to avoid any deviation, Universal is a very important part of his plan.
"If nothing else, I will leave first, waiting for your good news." Adrian stood up.
"Oh, hell, where are you going again?" Claude sighed angrily, "We only talked for a few minutes, and your office is above me. Wouldn't it be a little longer?"
"Because I have something else." Adrian shrugged.
"Yeah, yeah, you have other things. I don't know which nv to look for." Claude chōu chōu mouth corner, of course, the last sentence was muttered, and then he remembered something "By the way, since this incident is public, Xinxian and Miramax have nothing to do, but you always have to say a few words over Bosworth."
"This is of course. Don't worry about what they think, I have my own arrangements," Adrian nodded. "Including Universal."
Claude raised his hands and didn't talk anymore. Up to now they have quite a tacit understanding. The film and TV production is completely Adrian's decision. Who makes him have such a great achievement and reputation in this? But this does not mean that he will be let alone, just like Adrian will give him other industries, he will not chā but will not just ask and inquire.
The foundation is finally ready. Adrian took a breath after coming out of Claude. Yes, even if the acquisition of Universal is still just laying the foundation, the more solid the foundation, the castle built on it will not easily collapse, and the construction will be faster. Now wait for the opportunity two years later.
Thinking of here, his brow suddenly frowned slightly, then sighed in his heart. Things in Southeast Asia broke out in May as always, and he deliberately arranged a man with a sense of justice to be a local journalist, so those violent pictures were transmitted back to the United States as soon as possible.
Although this was after the Gulf War in 1992, it once again fully demonstrated its limitations and left its peers far behind, but the response it caused was far worse than the Gulf War. This is not surprising. After all, the Gulf War was a war operation by the Americans to fully demonstrate their armed forces, while the Indonesian violence had nothing to do with them.
Although some charitable groups have come forward to say that this is a humanitarian disaster, some people have called on Congress to intervene under Adrian's arrangements-most of the big names of group companies like Adrian are behind the scenes. Regardless, it is inferior to stand up publicly to make your own political remarks—but these do not help, and most Americans turn their interest to other places besides expressing sympathy.
This can only be done. Faced with this situation, Adrian shrugged helplessly. As for the political side in the Pacific Ocean, he was neither interested nor necessary to blame. He became very calm and rational after the two generations. It is clear that there are many reasons for the occurrence of an event. Just hold on a bit.
This matter was quickly left behind by Adrian. He still had many things to do. The acquisition of Universal was just one of them, and he didn't need to be too cào.
"Oh, I have to apologize to you about this. They are all very good candidates. They are very good." Sam Remy took off his hat and grabbed his head, then waved to Toby Maguire not far away. He waved, "Hey Toby"
"Is there anything, Mr. Director?" Maguire ran over, with a camera around his neck, and it looked a little shy like Peter Parker.
"Nothing, this is Mr. Adrian Cowell, and I'm praising you." Remy introduced Adrian immediately.
"Hello, Mr. Adrian, it's my pleasure to see you." Maguire immediately shook hands with Adrian, although he knew that the director of the miracle had named him for "Soul Catcher" and "Spider." "Xia", but this is the first time to meet each other, naturally want to express their feelings, everyone knows what Adrian's favor means.
"Good job, lad, you need to know that Sam had argued with me over whether to use your question, of course, he has now admitted it wrong." Adrian patted his shoulder with a smile, Remy Then he coughed aside.
"Toby, to the line ... Ed?" A voice filled with surprise sounded then, and Kirsten's round face appeared in front of Adrian.
The rosy mouth chún opened slightly, but the corners of the mouth were tilted upwards, forming a smile that was both pure and charming, and added two shallow dimples on the face. Gray-blue eyes blinked softly, with a surprised God, but occasionally there was a hint of slyness hidden deep, if she didn't look carefully, she would really be deceived by her.
"Hi, Kiki, wow, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are getting more and more beautiful." Adrian said with a smile after looking at Kirsten with a smile.
This compliment is really sincere. Kirsten is wearing a small red cheongsam with azalea huā embroidered on it, and a red shawl, even though the skirt covers the knee and spreads out to the big tuǐ. Half, but her well-maintained figure also showed off to the fullest, very xìng sense. Jin Sè's hair was also dyed burgundy, with two hair buns chā behind her head that matched the cheongsam, even if her face was large, it did not damage her.
"Thank you, I'm so glad to see you here." Kirsten smiled sweetly, but immediately turned his head to pull Maguire to the line, but Yu Guang occasionally shook at him.
Adrian chuckled in his heart and didn't pay attention to her. He pulled Remy and said a few more words, then stood aside after the director announced that he would start filming the next content.
"I've explained this scene once, and now take your best part out," Remy said loudly on the sidelines, then waved his hand to get ready to start, and everyone immediately began to move.
Adrian nodded slightly, affirming Remi's scheduling, but then hesitated. Kirsten suddenly opened his mouth as he passed in front of him, sticking his tongue up and down, and the unyielding yòuhuò's eyes displayed let him inhale involuntarily, even though everyone around him She was busy, and she turned back to the former immediately after turning her head, but this little demon jīng was too bold.
But if you are not so bold, it is not a little demon jīng-maybe the "little" can be removed-and it is really thorny. Looking at the beautiful back, Adrian couldn't help pouting.
The content being filmed is before Spider-Man first met the Green Devils in Times Square. Below the square, he watched his friends and his secretly nv child together. In addition to some necessary sets, green curtains have been hung around. Of course, it is impossible to shoot in Times Square. Even if the crew is willing to spend money, the New York municipal government may not agree, but the progress of CG technology is making up for this shortcoming. Now you only need to build a model to shoot in the green curtain Wait until later to help with the lens of Times Square.
Such a comic hero movie actually does not require much acting skills, as long as the emotions are in place, and the audience mainly sees a variety of more special effects than before. Thinking of Adrian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it won't be long before the screen will be overwhelmed by special effects movies.
He knew this well when "Titanic" was released. Filming is actually no different from gambling. Gambling will only be known after losing the card, and the movie will only be released after it is released. Know if the audience likes it. Producers have been racking their brains to avoid the risks associated with filming, just as many gamblers are racking their brains to count the cards in their opponent's hands, but they haven't had much effect.
And now they have finally found a good way to avoid risks. Yes, that ’s the big scene where special effects are piled up. After Titanic, it will attract the attention of the audience for a long time. Until the attractiveness of the special effects is fully squeezed out, the production people will not let go of this money-making method until the viewers get tired of the big scene.
This is one of the reasons why in the past century, various large-scale movies have emerged in the 21st century. Even if the audience is tired after a few years, there is still a large market for special effects movies.
It's okay, don't worry, some things can't be changed. Adrian shook his head and stopped thinking about it. This cannot be changed not only because the story is the core of the movie, but also the special effects trend of commercial movies in the next few years.
After the initial blind follow, after making constant losses, movie production will still return to storytelling. The audience wants to see the complete story, not just those gorgeous fights and scenes. So why bother to pay attention to this and seize the opportunity to make a fortune from it is the correct way.
This content was quickly finished. Remy announced a break for a few minutes, and then began shooting the battle between Spider-Man and the Green Devils. Adrian, who watched silently from beginning to end, once again affirmed Sam Remy in his heart. .
"Hi Ed." Kirsten's voice sounded in his ears at this moment.
"Hi, Kiki." Adrian turned his head immediately, then raised his eyebrows subtlely. The little demon jīng with a shy expression in front of him seemed a little embarrassed to talk to him, but only he knew, What kind of heart is hiding under this shy expression.
"Is there anything wrong?" He asked gently.
"Yes, just, can I want to talk to you? It's in the trailer over there." Kirsten bit his mouth and chún looked at him with a pleading look. "The shot below doesn't have my lens . "
Really superb acting ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Adrian gave a quiet compliment, then raised his hand and made a please gesture. Kirsten didn't speak, and immediately turned around and walked to the nearby trailer. At the beginning, he walked well, but when he got to the trailer, he was twisted by the cheongsam and started to twist a lot. Seeing Adrien swaying behind him, an idea suddenly popped out of her mind. It seemed a little uncomfortable when watching her performance before, wasn't it ...
"Hey, Lawrence," Kirsten closed the mén and drew half of his body out of the window and shouted to a nearby staff member after entering the trailer. "I want to rest here and tell Wyman that the director needs me, Just come and call me. "
Listening to her voice, Adrian found a chair nearby and sat down, only to sit down, and his throat couldn't help shaking. Kirsten leaning over the window not only raised his high, but slowly picked up the cheongsam skirt by hand, and then a pair of snow-white tún was completely violent in Adri In front of An, more importantly, there is no bottom under this skirt, and sure enough
"Thank you, Lawrence. You are such a good person." Kersten of the window said to the people outside with a smile, and put his hands behind him, and moved away from Adrian to his wonderful pair .
