Vol 2 Chapter 71: Deadlock

Chapter 71—The Deadlock
But before Adrian was asked to arrange, someone already said so. 【叶 子】 [悠 悠]
"An interesting and even some funny movie. The life of the male and female protagonist xìng is full of satire, exaggerating the taste of a stage play. Almost every line is worth remembering. If you add some more narration, then It's Woody Allen's style, "a Los Angeles Times film critic wrote after watching the movie.
There are several articles named, but this is the first to say so, and then more people endorsed it, and compared it with other works by Woody Allen. Although these film critics sometimes have different opinions, they still have professional qualities. With this statement, "Amateur Thief" has attracted a lot of attention, and even Woody Allen in New York has been asked by reporters for his views on the film.
"A very interesting idea," said the little old man who couldn't be more vaguely.
Adrian certainly won't let go of it when he learns it, letting people catch the unspoken hype of this sentence, and the word of mouth suddenly went up to another level. It ’s just that the box office is still not satisfactory. Woody Allen's works have always been a niche, and he belongs to the kind of self-talking movie. "Amateur Thief" is his most low-level work, even if it is modified at the time of production. As for the part, it has also been improved in terms of entertainment, but it is inherently inadequate like "Go With You High", so Zhou Wan's box office is normal.
It doesn't matter, this film has to be word of mouth anyway. Since there are a lot of good voices at present, you don't need to worry about it. The investment is not more than 10,000 yuan. The cost should be kept at the box office anyway.
The other two films ca n’t be like this, they are investing in production of close to 100 million yuan, and they have a mission to soothe Miramax and the new line. Of course, if the box office of these two films is not good, it must be people. The collective head was flooded.
It is really interesting to say, whether it is "Independence Day" or "Fighting Island", the initial budget is similar, but now, "Fighting Island" has reduced a lot of expenses compared to "Independence Day". This is certainly not the sudden change of Michael Bay by Michael Bay, and definitely no longer shooting so many explosion scenes, nor is it because Brooke Hemer and Simpson are in control, the key is that "The Fighting Island" has the support of the Pentagon and "Independence Day" No.
These two selections are American-style themes. The theme of "Independence Day" may be many more than that of "Fighting Island". In "Fighting Island" not only betrayed a Brigadier General, but also the Ministry of Defense on the black market. The contents of the resale of arms were mixed in to rescue the hostage. The SEALs were completely annihilated, and it looked like they were discrediting the US team. Independence Day, not only the United States led the world to defeat the aliens, the president Even when he drove the plane in person, the speech on Independence Day was very inspiring, but the former got the support of the Pentagon.
In fact, the reason is very simple. When the crew of "Independence Day" sought the support of the Pentagon, after reading the script, the military thought that it was not appropriate to finally let an old drunk drove the plane into the alien spaceship. It is recommended to change to an Air Force combat hero. Neither Emmerich nor the producers of the new line can accept it. In this way, the bedding made in advance will be in vain. However, the Pentagon insists on the modification. There is no way for the two sides to negotiate. Naturally, there is no possibility of cooperation.
On the "Fighting Island" side, there seems to be a lot of discrediting the military, but the shout when the SEALs were surrounded was very appetizing. General Hanmer also said that the missile shot into the sea and died. In the conflict with his men, it was even more important that Michael Bay's opinion on the Pentagon was not only fully accepted, but also convinced Brookheimer, who was dissatisfied with some details. In this way, the military naturally supported it.
So the final result was that the crew of "Independence Day" spent a lot of money on the lease of aircraft and firearms, and "The Fighting Island", the military provided the full set of equipment for the SEAL. I also used an aircraft to fly over Devil's Island for filming. Not only were all of them free, but also sponsored the crew of tens of thousands. Although the amount was small, it was enough to illustrate the attitude of the Pentagon.
"Maybe the good relationship between Michael Bay and the military started here, right?" After learning more about the process of the matter, Adrian said with a smile.
Well, this is just a small cha song. If you can't sell it, even if you save nearly ten million dollars, you will still lose a lot. Both movies are big productions. But as mentioned before, if neither of the two films can sell, then it must be a problem in this world, especially after watching some of the original clips.
In addition to these two films and Adrian is currently busy with "Brave Heart" and "Emma", although there are many other productions, they do not need to pay much attention for the time being. Oh, by the way, there is still a movie or script to be prepared, that is, a few weeks ago, after inviting Natalie's family to watch "Flying with You", Lily asked the girl in private if the character was interested .
"Love Stories", this is the name of the script. Of course, as always, use the things that originally belong to the other party to buy favors. It ’s not that Adrian has no other better script-at least "Go High with You" has nothing to do with Natalie and is very good-nor is it that he doesn't want to give the girl a more voluminous role. From the perspective of analysis, it is enough to have an impressive character like "This Killer Is Not Too Cold".
Don't look at Kirsten now getting the best supporting actress. If there is no Adrian, it will be difficult to say in the future. The failure to win awards in memory has made her go through a lot of ups and downs, not to mention now. For Tong Xing, the more classic roles he played as a child, the less room for future rise, the harder it is to break through and the harder it is to be recognized. This is one of the reasons for the child star curse, and one of the reasons for Adrian to win the best supporting actress for Kirsten. It is so simple to hold this precocious girl in his hands.
But Natalie can't do that. She's very smart and very self-control. Adrian doesn't want to use this method, so what she needs is the kind that has a good reputation at the box office but can be a good example of her acting skills. The film is simply a highlight of the film but it is not particularly prominent. This is the case for Half-You-Go-Fly, as is Love Stunt.
The quality of this movie can only be considered as a medium level. Although the plot is desirable, it is also common in many places. To put it simply, several characters are confused about life and love, and then experience a series of things. After waking up. Natalie plays the sister of one of the supporting actresses. She is sly, thoughtful, and elusive. After the sister and one of the leading actors date, they try their best to break them up and indirectly let the leading actor understand. . WWw.YZUU point m
There are too many movies in this way, and neither sells nor loses under normal circumstances, making it relatively easy. Since there is such a ready-made thing, why should Adrian go to the memory bank to find it? It takes time.
"Why is there no search engine in the memory?" Adrian sighed more than once. Although he remembered it as long as he saw it, it was too troublesome to find something too indifferent.
Of course, his sigh is just a prison, it is quite good to have such a perverted memory, why bother so much? Anyway, it takes long enough to always find what you are looking for. People need to be content.
And now there is not much effort to find slowly, there is more to deal with.
The tbs aspect is still smooth, and the ratings of "Millionaires" have reached a new level. Adrian has repeatedly emphasized that he must master a good rhythm, and do not kill the eggs and feel that the ratings are high, and schedule the schedule with a brain, otherwise the audience They will soon get bored. Many media feel that it is a pity that if this program is broadcast on TVB, the ratings will be much higher. American audiences like this reality show that anyone can participate in and can get rich overnight.
As for the two main TV series, the ratings of Buffy the Vampire Hunter is currently stable at about 5 or 6 million people, which seems to be of medium level, but in fact, as Adrian expected, it is very popular with young people.
Looking at TV dramas in the United States in the 1980s and 1990s, most of them are family comedies, such as "The Growing Trouble" or "Friends", etc., so there is some lack in the Qingnet idol drama market. The appearance of "Buffy the Vampire Hunter" just filled this vacancy, and it is normal for it to be sought after by young people.
"Yù Wangdu" is the same. If "Vampire Hunter Buffy" is an idol drama for young people, then "yù Wangdu" is an idol drama for middle-aged female xìng. With Adrian's intervention, this TV series has captured the appetite of housewives from the beginning, talking about men in a fashion, fashion, and unscrupulous, these are their favorite.
Even so, the fluctuations in the ratings of "Yù Wangdu" are still relatively large. After all, tnt this is a self-produced TV drama broadcast. There are still many gaps in experience. Adding to the influence of what time period, the data is a little abrupt. Suddenly. However, the number of subscribed viewers is steadily increasing. After going through the initial discomfort period, Cindy Crawford, although the acting skills have not increased much, are more and more matched with this TV series. According to the feedback For information, the audience also quite recognized her as a beautiful and stylish heroine.
As long as we continue to maintain this momentum, I believe that tnt will adjust it soon. At that time, even if it can't be compared, it can also stand in court, let alone Adrian.
However, although the tbs exhibition momentum is very good, there is inevitably an undercurrent flowing inside.
"Anyway, you proposed the acquisition, so you are fully responsible for the current situation." In the bright sun, Adrian said to Claude while looking into the distance.
"Hey, although I proposed it, I couldn't execute it without your approval, didn't I?" Claude, sitting next to him in casual clothes, immediately retorted, "You can't put all responsibility on me."
"Why can't I? I've come to play golf with you." Adrian said, violently swinging, the little white ball flew high and then dropped, accurately ... in the lake.
"Ha, that sucks." Crowder whistled, then patted him twice.
Adrian's mouth turned u, then he turned his head and looked at him: "I would also like to say that I might be responsible for 30% of the responsibility, but now it seems that it is no longer necessary."
"God, what am I going to do?" Claude raised his hands exaggeratedly. "May I pray for your forgiveness, Ed?"
"No, as long as you smooth those guys out, I will forgive you." Adrian shrugged.
The two immediately laughed together, and Claude got up and patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, they can't lift much wind 1ang. The current stalemate in the acquisition makes them think that they have the opportunity to take advantage, so they can't go deeper. Think. "
"I know, I just don't understand. Now that you said you were deadlocked, why did you dedicate your energy to the international financial market for a turn," Adrian looked at him, "if you use this energy in peace Disney or Eisner may have broken this deadlock and even won. "
"You think about things too simple," Claude said, and put the ball on the grass by the caddie. "The current deadlock is not to say that you can break it, and Eisner is very happy. At such a deadlock, this advantage will be tilted towards them a little bit. Before there is no better way, it is normal for me to use the extra energy to other aspects, isn't it? You know, the international financial market has never been like it is now. This is good for the United States, there are opportunities everywhere, and ... I just mentioned it to you on the phone before, and then Mr. Regget came to visit. "
"Since there are so many opportunities, how can I let it go, and you are a genius in this area, of course I have to let Uncle Regget find you." Adrian shrugged, as if he didn't hear the words in his mouth. "Well, anyway, there must be a solution to the current predicament. We have been passive. Look at the tone of those people."
In the acquisition battle, Disney and the media have been deadlocked. Eisner is indeed a powerful person. Once he seizes the advantage, it is necessary to maintain it extremely. He knows where Disney's advantage is, so he always advances patiently. It was difficult for Crowder to get a victory from the front to reverse the situation.
At the beginning, the economic critics who analyzed the pros and cons of both sides were still optimistic about the media, but as the news of the meeting between Eisner and two significant directors spread at the luncheon, the trend of public opinion began One side sign.
"Obviously, the scales of victory are tilting towards Disney, and the media have no strong countermeasures. After all, they are still too young. It is difficult for such a new company to successfully challenge a large company with a long history. Honestly, they can successfully acquire TB is already a miracle, but now it has started to compete for a larger broadcaster without fully digesting it. Even if a miracle really happens again and beats the successful acquisition of Disney, it may not work well. " This is the latest issue of Fortune's analysis of the acquisition.
Other financial and newspaper articles are similar to this. Simply put, the media is too young. Although the strength is still good, as a new company, the experience is severely inadequate. Even if it is acquired, it may not work. It's a matter of time before losing to Disney.
There is also inevitably a discordant voice inside tbs. Some financial programs have also expressed their dislike about the acquisition. Critics are right in saying that the media has not completely digested tbs, but ...
"It was one of our plans," Crowde said dismissively. "Wait for them to come out and then ..."
He made a fist and waved it in the air, making a slamming gesture: "Without complete preparation, how could I rush to make an acquisition? Do they really think we are so blinded?"
"Where's Ted?" Adrian asked immediately, this kind of thing is normal, there is a struggle for power everywhere, but these guys obviously have no brains, don't look at the company's composition, or simply simply do not Convinced?
"He is naturally a spectator, this is also an old fox." Claude shrugged.
"Okay, I think he'll be surprised." Adrian smiled, no matter if he can successfully acquire them, they have enough strength to clean up these guys who do small moves, but ringworm and ailments are the most important. Still ...
Snapped! With a light sound, the little white ball made a perfect arc in the air and jumped a few times towards the flagpole.
"So I'm waiting for an opportunity now, the opportunity you promised." Claude looked back for a long time before looking back.
"Ha, I don't know that you take this matter so seriously. At the beginning, you didn't mind it." Adrian laughed at once ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Sometimes this seems to be of little use. Method, it will have a good effect. Claude smiled. "I've got in touch. "
"So fast," Adrian raised an eyebrow. "Well, I won't wait too long. They are currently contacting, not the end of this month, so you can prepare now."
"Very well, I look forward to seeing Eisner's face." Claude Haha laughed and turned and walked towards the ball.
"Wait, Crow," Adrian took a few steps behind him. "Don't tell you that you have pinned all your hopes on this. There are no plans for the reserve."
"What if I said no?" Crowder turned his head and asked, and the appearance of the joke was obvious.
"Then I'll get someone to grab you right away and check it out carefully to see who is pretending to be my gang of death." Adrian said solemnly, immediately after Claude Haha laughed, Look at him with questioning eyes.
