Vol 3 Chapter 150: Acquisition again

Although there are many movies related to King Kong, the 33 and 76 editions are considered orthodox works. In the former, the heroine is unemployed because of the Great Depression, and a young girl who is homeless. There is no way out. The director who wanted to make a landscape movie was accepted and met King Kong. Among the latter, a shipwreck survivor was rescued by the director and his party and went to the island to see King Kong.
In the latest version of the script, the heroine is an actor with dreams. She is a young actor in a theater, hoping to be the protagonist one day. But because of the Great Depression, she lost her job and everything, and even eating was a problem. Eventually she was rescued by a director after holding a sheep outside a fruit store.
The director was struggling with his new movie. He wanted to fight hard but didn't have a suitable actress. Then he found the heroine outside the fruit shop. He not only invited her to a full meal, but also invited her to star in her own movie.
Very familiar plot, right? This is almost a copy of the meeting between Adrian and Naomi. There may be many differences in details, but there is no difference in essence, so she hesitated for a long time before she asked him by the lips after the meeting. : That's why she wants to be the heroine?
What the experience of that afternoon and that night meant to Naomi, only she was the most clear, even Adrian would not be as profound as her, as she said, more than ten years Finally, a touch of color appeared in gray life. and so. To be sure, Naomi will interpret this character very well, especially for the first 10 minutes of acting.
Of course, Adrian's arrangement is somewhat selfish, but what about it? Naomi knew this, and Adrian knew she knew it, and her subsequent response was enough to tell it all. So, Adrian changed his plan to release Nicole's pigeons, and tonight he was alone with Naomi.
"I love you, Ed. No matter what kind of person you are." Sitting on the grass on the hillside, and down the brilliant lights of downtown Los Angeles, the girl nestled in Adrian's arms said.
Adrian didn't answer, just clasped her, and kissed gently on top of her head.
Although the press conference for the launch of the live-action movie of "Transformers" was very eye-catching, it did not affect the release of various blockbusters and their box office. Therefore, "Star Wars Episode 2: The Attack of the Clones" was released in the first week after the scheduled release. I got 80 million at the box office, a lot higher than the first. Stood to the top of the North American box office.
But unfortunately, this part of the word of mouth is worse than the previous one, the media was full of criticism, so that the next week fell by more than 40%. Although it has successfully passed the 100 million mark, and depending on the situation, it is not a problem to get a total box office of 200 million to 300 million in North America, but the ridicule of the media is still not small. Voices abound, such as "Lucas is old" and "The sincere trilogy".
Lucas must be upset, but who cares? As long as they can catch the eye, the reporters don't care about the mood of the object being arranged, so most of the characters in the movie are ridiculed, and even Master Yoda is a virtual character. The only better ones are Musser Jackson and Natalie. The former is not a lot of drama, and it is quite a bit of style, as for the latter ... not much to say.
"It's not very good either, I don't necessarily have that kind of ... temperament." In the sunny garden, Natalie curled up in a chair and said in a lazy tone after reading all the scripts or the outline.
"But. You know, Naa, I don't have any more ideas in my hand." This sounded like a complaint, but Adrian had an indifferent smile on his face.
He will definitely not be absent from the premiere of Star Wars Prequel, so naturally Natalie will not go back to his mansion in Beverly Hills. Adrian never misses her every chance to come to Los Angeles.
"It's okay, anyway ... not in a hurry, is it?" Natalie lowered her head. "And I was thinking ... maybe I could go back to Israel to study."
"I don't think that's a good idea, Naa," how could Adrian not know her little abacus, going back and forth between the United States and Israel was more trouble than going back and forth between Los Angeles and New York, "this is what For example, I didn't recommend that you tell the media that acting in a movie is just a sideline or something. This has something to do with your image as an actor. Audiences want to see a model ...
Natalie was silent, but before she spoke, Adrian changed the subject again: "Yes, I suddenly had an idea, and you might want to hear it."
Then he said on his own accord: "In the 1960s, a charming priest came to a Catholic school in New York. He taught his children in a relaxed atmosphere, and soon won the favor of many people. The conservative and devout old nun did not like these and was difficult to accept. Then, because of the civil rights movement, the first black boy was enrolled in school, and the priest showed extraordinary enthusiasm for this child. He saw it and had doubts, and finally told the old nun about this, and the old nun immediately started investigating and found that the priest seemed to have a history.
Although she had no evidence, she believed that the other party was guilty, so she tried every means to drive the priest out of school. The priest also insisted on his innocence and claimed to maintain his authority at all costs, so there was a smokeless war between the priest and the nuns. "
At this point, he paused, and continued after Natalie digested these words: "Finally, the priest made a compromise, made a compromise for the child, left the school, and the old nun finally reached herself Purpose, then, in the face of a young nun who had told herself these things in a no-one moment, finally could not help crying, because she had no tangible evidence. Therefore, whether the priest had molested the child before and the story actually did not It doesn't matter much, this story just wants to tell people how much doubt and stubbornness can affect people. "
Natalie still didn't speak. Just turned his head to the bush in the distance, his face changed slightly a few times. Adrian chuckled in his eyes. A wise man is like this. He always thinks too much, even he can't avoid it, not to mention Natalie who always hides contradictions in her heart?
"You must not be an old nun, but the young nun is fine," Adrian continued.
"Yes, this is a very good idea. From the perspective of human nature, it makes people think that writing a script should be ... very good." Natali exhaled deeply. She had clearly determined that this was what he used to admonish himself because ...
"But you overlooked it, Ed," she looked up, trying to make herself look serious. "I'm a Jew. Although I'm not particularly religious ... I'm still a Jew."
"Yes. It's a pity." Adrian smiled. "So I didn't take it out before. It just came out just now. It's good to get your approval."
Having said that, he stood up and looked at the sky with his pergola. The sun is extremely strong. Although it is still June, the weather in Los Angeles is almost the same as summer.
"Since you can't find a good script for a while, then take a break for a while, you have already graduated. You can take this opportunity to adjust your mood, and then ... It doesn't matter if you don't want to move to Los Angeles, but there is a long-term residence It's necessary, isn't it? "Adrian smiled." Don't worry, I'll give you a good script this year. So don't think about it so much now, go swimming with me. "
He leaned over in front of her and blinked bitterly: "I specially chose a swimsuit for you."
Natalie opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she just shrugged and said indifferently: "It should not be the king's new clothes."
Adrian immediately laughed, and he actually wanted to see Natalie in swimming, but she might be reluctant to accept it if it was over the sky, and she would be unwilling to go naked. It's ok. Adrian didn't mind at all, take it slowly, let alone the prepared swimwear is also good, three places with a big slap make her look very sexy, and because the obedient no longer insists on a full vegetarian diet, she is also plump. Less, looks very shapely.
Despite the subconscious and resistive subconsciousness, when Natalie entered the state to play in the water, it was inevitable that Adrian would tease and laugh.
What other tricks can be used, Nayeon. Adrian thought that way when he kissed the wet girl, but it was a pity that the idea of ​​"Child Abuse Suspicious Clouds" was unfortunate.
Although Adrian planned everything, but for insurance, he still plans to give Natalie a weighty supporting role that can win a good reputation, it is best to be released next year. Just looking around, although I found a lot, it was not particularly suitable. Natalie didn't feel any sense when she saw the ideas herself. At present, the only suitable one is "Child Abuse Suspect".
This film was supposed to have a stage show in 2005 before being adapted into a movie. The young and simple nun's role is very suitable for Natalie's current public image, but there is still an insurmountable obstacle. She was a nun and Natalie was a Jew. She was also born into a slightly conservative Jewish family.
In fact, Jews playing Catholics are not a big deal. The roles are roles and the actors are actors. However, this will likely affect Adrian's plan. So he gave up this tempting idea. Although it was only possible, it was certain to cause a certain degree of controversy. He didn't want to take risks. After all, he had promised her to hold her to a height that no one else could.
Do n’t worry, let ’s just say that, take your time. Although there are still late productions of The Matrix, The Lord of the Rings, and the Devil Head, it is very likely that another movie will be opened at the end of the year, but there are still several The time of the month is enough for him to find a good work for Natalie.
With the release of "Star Wars", the competition for summer vacation files began to become heated, but the film companies under the media did not release commercial masterpieces one after another as last year. It seems that after last year, it suddenly became weak. Even Pixar, already a leader in the animation industry, has no works this year, although several popular movie masterpieces have arranged the current period at the end of the current period.
However, if you think that the development of the media has stopped here, then it will be a big mistake. After entering July, the media announced it very low-key. Successfully acquired fhm from emap, an old British media company, yes, yes, it is the famous and first-class men's magazine "Men's Gang".
"Why would you want to buy this magazine?" Adrian asked Curiously in Claude's big office. The acquisition was entirely led by Claude. Although he knew it, he didn't do much. Attention, as a result, the acquisition has been completed.
"Why would you just ask this magazine." Crowder asked immediately. "You know, I bought not only fhm from emap, but also many European radio and television stations."
"I know, I know, we are going to expand in Europe," Adrian raised his hands, "but I remember I emphasized to you that the development of paper media will soon begin to decline, although fhm has a lot of readers. But Can't escape this circle, right? "
"So I've let people redesign fhm's website and have them transplant some of M's successful experiences," Claude laughed. "Come on, Ed. Don't pretend to be in front of you. You can arrange whatever you want ... the woman you want to arrange on the cover of fhm. "
With his eyes narrowed and staring at him for a while, Adrian sighed, "Okay, fhm is really good. Although I want it more ... it's not easy, after all, it was a magazine that was launched in the forty years of the last century. Now it has been Is a famous fashion brand. "Claude leaned lazily on a high-back chair." And, haven't you said that? The dusk of the paper media is coming soon ... and espn. Our paper magazines are enough . "
"Yes, I know." Adrian sighed.
I won't say that, it was acquired shortly after the start of the issue, and Adrian's attitude towards the Internet was just right. They are now very famous, only a little worse than first-class magazines such as fhm. As for espn, this is a well-known sports channel that was acquired early. The Hearst Group also has some shares. After being acquired by the media, espn was separated like cnn. So far, it has become the most well-known and most used sports channel in the United States. There is no shortage of various TV dramas when it comes to sports. Take espn 揶揄 and tease.
Espn is currently preparing to develop in Europe, so Claude will acquire some of emap's radio and television stations together.
However, espn magazine was launched at the end of 2000. The sports channel is best known as espn, but sports magazines are the most popular in Sports Illustrated. Every year, pictorial girls are very sought after. Because of this, although espn has always had the idea of ​​creating a magazine, it has no experience after all, and it is worried that the competition can not but the "Sports Illustrated", plus its own continuous development and consolidation, so it has never been put into action.
Later, Adrian knew it, and immediately started agitating-he vaguely remembers that espn had his own magazine-and gave them a comparison ... Awkward ideas, espn that Sports Illustrated has also done, Espn, which Sports Illustrated has never done before, should do it even more. To put it simply, ESPN can not only invite some beautiful female athletes to cover or insert, like Sports Illustrated, but also invite a strong and male athlete to cover or insert, male and female can also attract many readers.
"Sometimes I really want to open your head and see what's in it." Claude asked him after knowing that he had been stunned for a while, and Adrian responded with a shrug. This is the trend. .
After discussing and investigating, espn immediately decided to do so, so after rushing to make preparations, it finally rushed to launch at the end of the millennium, and after more than a year of development, the response was pretty good. Although it is slightly different than expected, and it is not as good as Sports Illustrated, the trick of "male color" has indeed attracted a lot of praise, and Adrian has once again proved his vision.
In short, as long as it continues to adjust itself, with the support of the media, espn will inevitably have its place in sports magazines. And now there is fhm joining, even if the media does not have well-known magazines such as "Time", "Vanity Fair", "People", but also has its own place on this, let alone ...
"Don't mind, Ed," Claude waved at this moment. "It didn't cost much, we are very cost-effective."
"So you're aiming for the Dallas Cowboys now?" Adrian snorted immediately.
"You finally talked about this topic," Claude "ha" laughed out, "I thought you weren't going to say this anymore ~ ​​EbookFREE.me ~ Adrian narrowed his eyes, Dallas Cowboys, nfl giants One is the New York Giants, who have won the major league championship several times. The New York Giants, who have also won the major league championship many times, are competing for who has won the most championships and is the biggest competitor. As said a long time ago, many rich people And the big groups like to support several teams, the sports atmosphere in the United States is quite good, and Claude is no exception.
He is not particularly fanatical about American football, and may prefer baseball relatively, but since the media is already the world's top media group, of course, he should have the hottest and most luxurious team-even Claude cannot Avoid this idea, after all, few people can reach their current heights at the age of thirty.
Not to mention Los Angeles and it's interesting, there are NBA and Lakers and Clippers, there are Dolls and Angels of MLB, there are nhl's Ducks and Kings, there are MLS Los Angeles Galaxy and Chivas USA, but there is no team without NFL. And there are no giants in the surrounding big cities, so Claude had to look at the Dallas Cowboys in Texas.
"You're really in the mood, Crow, Texas guys may not allow investment from California to control Dallas Cowboys." Adrian frowned slightly. "And ... what about my Lakers?" (To be continued) q! ~!
