Vol 2 Chapter 165: Miracle-like box office

Chapter 165 The Miraculous Box Office
The trivial fact of arranging Hamasaki for further studies in Los Angeles is trivial. Her snack machine-well, the same might be the case-Adrian has a lot to do. It is already mid-August, and the early stage of "Shakespeare's Love" is almost ready. After arranging things to be done, he also took Gwennis and Blanchett to the UK.
It's easier said than done. Although there are not many of these things, it takes a lot of effort to sort them out. For example, in terms of summer vacation files, various film companies have launched a lot of productions that can be regarded as jīgliang, and have also earned a lot of box office, and DreamWorks and Bosworth co-produced by Harrison Ford, starring The "Air Force One", who is ridiculous, is at the forefront. For Americans whose confidence has swelled unprecedentedly in recent years, it is undoubtedly pleasing for the president to fight with terrorists on his own landline.
Since Adrian found Spielberg and invited him to direct and produce "Jurassic Park," DreamWorks was destined to stand aside from the media. After all, everyone was ambitious and wanted to be part of the film industry. Cake startups. They just didn't realize that they were up front by the media, and that's why, even though the box office of "Sky One" is pretty good, Adrian took it out and shared it with DreamWorks, and the "Jurassic Park" The sequel also chose to cooperate with DreamWorks. Spielberg is now stepping up the production process. Although the production of "Saving Soldier Ryan" has been delayed until now, it is expected to be released next summer next year at the latest.
"It's just a little bit of interest," Adrian didn't care about it. For an already successful successor, how to share is the most important thing. "This summer," Titanic "is enough."
That's right, even though various film companies have launched good movies in the summer vacation, and also won a lot of box office, they are still so small in front of the mammoth Titanic, just like the big ship in the movie when it set sail The comparison chart is the same. Except for the week that was slightly insufficient due to a strong blow and the third week that fell after climbing to a peak, it has been released almost two months so far. "Titanic" weekly has occupied the North American box office charts.
And according to the current hot situation, I am afraid that this situation will continue. Although the lineup for a long time did not appear to buy a movie ticket, but every weekend, large theaters across the United States outside There will still be a long line of buying tickets. The North American box office has rocketed through the 400 million box office mark, as has the overseas box office. If it is not slightly delayed in North America, it will probably be close to 500 million.
In this way, the world ’s total box office has passed 800 million. This is an absolutely shocking number. If inflation is not the case, the world ’s highest box office is only 600 million. The Titanic easily passed this number. The current hot trend, maybe it will break through the billion God, this is terrible, what kind of heads Cameron and Adrian have.
The Hollywood studios may stop or grit their teeth or be envious. Cameron will not say it. Everyone knows that this guy is a madman and a tyrant. As early as the filming of "Terminator 2" and "True Lies", Burned a hundred million, now it is understandable to burn close to 300 million US dollars to make a movie, but Adrian is too amazing.
Although the director of Miracle Director is well known, and although everyone acknowledges his unique vision, his time in this circle is relatively short. Cameron was even more surprising, but it also took a few years in the circle to get investment to shoot "Terminator", and then it took more than a decade to get its current status. But Adrian made great success from the very beginning, but in the short period of 7 years, he has hardly failed, and the movies connected with him have basically achieved good results, one after another, the actors, The director became famous from his own hands or got a wish.
In addition, he also founded his own media company with his friends. Now he is one of the newest and most promising media groups in Hollywood. Now he has almost 300 million without frowning. The U.S. dollar made Cameron use it to make movies. Oh my god, even the top seven companies don't dare to be so generous. What's even more frustrating is that he actually succeeded. He actually succeeded again. This burned-out large-scale production has broken the record and became the world's best-selling movie, and it is still rising, making those who want to watch his joke People are slaps on their faces, hell, how did he do it?
Among these movie companies, only Century Fox was snickering. They were in charge of the work and won the pg-13 level. The travel expenses alone were tens of millions, which was too profitable. However, they have some pity in their hearts. If they can join the investment, they will make more than that. But then again, Adrian's 200 million investment was directly taken from the throne of the Seal of God, and only the million were added later. Even if someone wants to invest, he will refuse if it is not bad.
In short, in the 1997 summer vacation file, no movie can stand up straight in front of the "Titanic", even those critics who want to be provocative in Europe are facing this huge and growing box office. Can only give up this intention. But for someone, this is nothing.
"Wait twice before I say it again." Adrian said so faintly after knowing that the Titanic's global box office exceeded 800 million. Crowder, who was drinking water on the left, almost sprayed out, and La Verne on the right. His hand almost shook his eyes to the ground, and even Charlize, who was accustomed to his style of recording meeting points, raised his eyebrows.
But no one questioned his claim that after the unprecedented success of the Titanic, whatever Adrian said, they probably believed-at least in this movie. Therefore, the company did not stop the propaganda work at the moment under his command.
"It's still early, but I chose the summer vacation deliberately." Looking at the data, Adrian said to himself.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that so far he has written ten checks to Cameron, each of which is ten thousand. He originally planned to wait until the 100th anniversary of the opening of the Seal of Throne directly, and then slowly appreciate Cameron's shocked face to see if his mouth would be as big as a goose egg as described in the work.
However, because Cameron's studio is currently not very morale, Adrian first wrote a check to encourage his employees, so he simply wrote a check.
"Thank you very much, Ed, but if you can, please do it all right at once?" Cameron was crying and laughing with snow-like checks, but it was not good to show. To know that he had voluntarily given up his salary and dividends at the beginning, Adrian Ken had paid all the dividends, so he had to whisper on the phone.
"You might as well guess if I could drown you with a check." Adrian Haha smiled back.
"... Okay, so can you swipe your card? There will be many discounts." Cameron said after a long while of silence, and then changed to Adrian spray rice.
In addition to this, there are a lot of things on the record company side. Britney's production of the v album and Christina's theme song are all about him. I have been preparing for so many years and will be successful no matter what. With Claude's acquisition and integration, coupled with Adrian's help, the new song and new combination launched have achieved pretty good results, and the media's record companies also have a foothold in the industry.
Even so, it can still be regarded as a record company between the first and second-tier, and there is still a lot of distance from the top record companies. Although Adrian also has a strategic layout, he is less familiar with music than movies, television, and the Internet, so this arrangement is at the end, and it will take several years to implement it. So if you want to make further progress during this time, you have to rely on some other means, such as blockbuster Britney and Christina.
Although the newcomers or new groups launched before are not particularly popular, they also have a good popularity among teenagers, and the company has accumulated considerable experience. This time coupled with Eric Hanton's full exertion, and Adrian's point of reference from memory, "reappearing" Britney's glory at least with certainty.
What's more, when I go to the UK, I have to make two movies at the same time. Although it is convenient to have a plane, the time in Los Angeles will be very small. Therefore, how to arrange a date with V people is also an important thing. It must not be neglected and be as fair as possible. Fortunately, Charlize is here. It seems troublesome but it is relatively simple to solve.
"Because I think I can understand their personality more deeply based on these." Charlize asked herself when Adrian showed so much enthusiasm, and then she smiled slightly: "So I can think of The targeted method drives them away one by one, and then monopolizes you. "
Adrian couldn't help laughing, and responded by pressing Charlize against the office's thick floor-to-ceiling glass.
However, these are not the most important things. After entering August, Adrian has been waiting for a message. He should have done almost the same thing. He still did not intend to leave until he heard the news-he had already returned. When Apple's Steve Jobs announced that he was on Apple's netbsp again, but this time is not the same as last time. When Jobs served as Apple CE, the IT company that pioneered personal computers was thriving, and this time, Apple is already on the edge of a cliff and it is falling. Not long ago, Apple's stock plummeted again because of a wrong strategy. However, it was precisely because of this plunge that the original Ce Gil Amelio finally left sadly, and then Steve Jobs, who served as an advisor to the board of directors, took over.
Many people are not optimistic about the genius or madman who founded Apple and was swept out of it. Some IT magazines also ridiculed that "Even Jobs can't save Apple", but Adrian knew that he had obtained from Jobs and The total amount of apples absorbed will start to increase in value over the last year. It may be necessary to continue to be diluted in the future, but as long as it is still in the hands after five years, it is also an amazing wealth.
There are about 18 apples from Jobs. Of course, this is not held by Jobs, but the media injection of 150 million.
Almost three weeks ago, Jobs visited Adrian's office to visit him. After a few moments of embarrassment, he started the topic: pulling investment. At the White House's regular dinner, Adrian had previously stated that he was optimistic about Steve Jobs returning to Apple, and hinted that if there were conditions that could impress him, he might invest in it, so Steve Jobs found it now.
However, it did n’t take long for Adrian to be absent-minded. Jobs, who talked a lot, talked about things that he had heard many times before. Repeated listening would inevitably make people feel tired. After this emotional list came out, Jobs Suddenly it became slightly unpleasant.
"Are you listening, Ed?" He asked suddenly.
"Almost," Adrian nodded a little lazily, but with a smile, he didn't mean lightly, "Well, tell me how much money you need, Steve."
"Although there are hundreds of millions of assets in the financial statements, there is not much liquidity. There is a gap of about 150 million." Steve Jobs replied, for his proud and narcissistic person, Adri Ann's attitude is not really friendly, so there is no room for change.
"150 million?" Adrian leaned over his head for a moment, and agreed without waiting for the other person to speak. "Well, no problem, I can make this money."
"Really?" Jobs raised an eyebrow, some could not believe it.
"Really," Adrian nodded, "but it's not my capital, but my company's capital, and there is a condition."
Jobs's brow frowned suddenly, but he still made a please gesture.
"It's simple," Adrian smiled slightly. "I want you to be Apple's netbsp;" me? "Jobs was startled slightly, and the eyes behind the lens flickered suddenly." How could that be, Amelio is now ... "
"Then drive him out of office and drive away those who might be blocking you," Adrian said politely. "It's not Apple that is worth my investment, but Steve, who can be said to be the best in Apple." "Jobs"
Jobs finally moved, he listened much to flattery, but this is the first time flattery like this has to say, this feeling ... quite pleasant.
"Should I say I'm honored?" He asked after moving his fingers together.
"No, I am honoured that not everyone will witness the birth of miracles." Adrian's smile remained unchanged. "Drive away those enemies, and then lead Apple out of the trough to climb to higher peaks, where did it fall , Just get up there, don't you? "
He paused before saying, "Those people at Pixar still miss you so far. Although you tried to force them to give up the option, John always said that even if the funds are tight, you will need the funds they need for animation. They are all responsive, although I dug them, but without your support, Pixar would not have today. So, I know, I believe that you are worth my investment. "
"Hah, it's ... really moving." Jobs couldn't help but take a deep breath. Even with his arrogant character, he couldn't help feeling a little excited.
"And you can rest assured," Adrian continued. "We won't fight for control of Apple with you. As long as you are in that position, we will fully support you for a day."
"So," Jobs took a deep breath, and opened the camouflage sharply. "What do you want?"
"Money and cooperation." Adrian smiled slightly. "I said that Apple will take off again in your hands. I have this premonition. I also believe that you see the future trend of the exhibition, or we will definitely have it in a few years. episode a, then we will have a broader future. "
Although the other party always maintained a calm god, Adrian was carefully observing him from the beginning and still caught Jobs's pupils shrinking instantly.
"Thank you for your proposal, I will seriously consider it, please give me some time." He finally said so.
Despite getting such an answer, Jobs agreed a few days later, especially when the contract was before him. Although the written text may also be overturned, it is always more reliable than what was promised verbally. Of course, this contract has to wait for him to become Apple Netbsp again; After Melio stepped down ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Adrian said to Claude, who shrugged and said nothing.
As before, he was initially opposed to funding Apple. After all, Apple's dilemma was obvious to everyone, but Adrian began his unique set of rhetoric: "Very well, I will invest it myself, anyway. "Titanic has made enough money for me."
Answer that really made people want to vomit blood, Crowder rolled his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then thought about his previous achievements, and finally agreed.
Apple's affairs were basically settled, and Adrian planned for a long time how he would allow some mistakes. In the previous life, he still knew Jobs to a certain degree. After having the capital, he set his goal on Apple and collected a lot of information about this madman, and then made a series of plans, such as in the office and Jobs a The absent mind when talking is pretending to be out.
However, after all, he still underestimated Steve Jobs-this is not to say that he was accounted for, of course, his goal was successfully achieved, but on the other hand, Jobs' action surprised him. F
