Vol 3 Chapter 250: Before step 2

The more lively things will gradually calm down under the washing of time, not to mention the Oscar award ceremony, even if Sophie Marceau won the best actress as a French actress, even if the miracle director regained the best director and the best film , Still can not violate the law. Of course, the relationship between the miracle girls and the miracle director has always been a hot topic of discussion and will continue to be discussed.
Well, in fact, with the exception of some critics and some filmmakers, people basically don't care about Adrian's best director and best film. Everyone knows that he has created many miracles, everyone knows that he is talented, everyone knows that he has been a regular Oscar for several years, and everyone knows that the Lord of the Rings trilogy-and the "poor" The Matrix. The slogan, this is what the miracle director personally said-it has caused a huge response around the world. Most fans think that the adaptation is very good. Everyone knows that he can produce any movie ... He takes the best director and the best film. Isn't it normal?
As for the critics' criticism of Sophie, the new best actress, oh, there are such comments every year, at most this year, they criticized Monica at first, but the college has withdrawn? Just look at it. Therefore, rather than discussing this, it is more meaningful to discuss which miracle girl the director of Miracle will pick up next year.
"Speaking of which, these people don't seem to count Nayeon in the miracle girl's industry because of the smoke I'm throwing away? It must be fun to wait until the end of the year." Adrian said using a mouse to browse the web.
"Isn't this what you want to see?" Crowder standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window replied immediately. Then he waved his hand and pulled the topic back: "Hey, have you considered it seriously, Ed?"
"Don't we agree?" Adrian looked up and spread his hands.
"Of course not, no doubt, it is more appropriate for Comcast to continue to be his broadband provider, but ..." Crowder pursed his lips. "You think this is not a good deal for us. opportunity?"
"You want to buy Disney?" Adrian raised an eyebrow.
"Why not? Eisner is about to step down, and there is no doubt about it. Even if he can finally prevent Comcast's malicious acquisition," Claude said quickly, "from the last person who will disney the Disney family It's doomed to get out of the board, even if Roy Disney isn't really a qualified businessman. "
"So we started after helping them through the difficult times, Eisner had to open one eye and close the other, right?" Adrian answered, then frowned.
Although the media suddenly robbed Comcast of AT & adband a few years ago, this did not dispel their desire to transform themselves into a media group. So when Disney started civil strife, they took the opportunity to make a malicious acquisition. Eisner naturally wouldn't agree, but those on the board who started getting excited about Roy Disney's departure didn't think so, and Comcast offered a high price.
Comcast did not spend too much time and money on AT & adband, and because of media competition, Disney was smaller in scale than in previous lives. Although it has also become compact and has a lot of benefits, it was not easy for them to fight Comcast in the past, let alone now. But there are advantages and disadvantages, when Eisner asked Redstone and Claude for help. They all agreed.
In the previous life, Eisner considered to resist Comcast's malicious acquisition through an M & A. It was not necessary to do so, but he only needed to make a gesture, but after he found Redstone, the latter explicitly rejected him. Proposal. At the time Viacom had CBS and Disney had it. If it does, Comcast can make a big splash on regulatory obstacles.
However, the media that originally belonged to Disney was now in the media, so this concern was gone. Then Viacom and the media made a gesture, and Disney had the confidence to keep Comcast out. In any case, the top media groups in the world are almost always developing in this field from the beginning, including young media. So, as Claude said before, Comcast is still more appropriate to be an operator, which can be considered a certain degree of rivalry.
However, Adrian did not expect that Claude really had the idea of ​​Disney in his pocket.
"I'm against it." Closed my eyes and thought for a moment, and passed a lot of things in my head, Adrian gave his answer, "We don't need to."
"No need?" Crowd frowned, obviously the answer didn't fit his mind.
"Yes, we have Disney, we have it, and we do n’t have Disney, so why do we need Disney?" Adrian said, spreading his hands. Honestly, he was really tempted at first, no matter how old, Disney Signboards are attractive enough, not to mention their operating capabilities are not bad.
But everything has advantages and disadvantages, especially at this level of acquisition. Although Adrian is relatively mediocre in business, he has accumulated a lot of experience over the years, not to mention he can see the future. Therefore, in his opinion, there is no need for the current media to acquire Disney.
"It's very simple, the market," Crowder said immediately. "Disney occupies a considerable share of this market for children and adolescents. They have an innate advantage in this. Although we have done a lot of work, Good progress has been made with the support of China, but it will take some time to reach their current level. In that case, wouldn't it be better to include them in our system? Not to mention that Disney has a considerable history. "
Hearing the last sentence, Adrian couldn't help laughing, he roughly understood Claude's thoughts, and in a way, he and the reason for his enthusiasm were a little convinced.
"I have had a detailed analysis of their financial situation. Indeed, if we succeed in acquiring we will carry a lot of debt, but the burden is not important to us in good operating conditions, and it is totally worth it." Crowder continued.
"I believe that, Crow, since you said it, then there must be no problem, but my concerns are not on it." Adrian organized and said, and said, "You know, our future is not here. Above. "
"Yes, yes. I know that our future is on the Internet. You've said it hundreds of times, Ed." Claude was a little displeased. "But it doesn't conflict with the acquisition of Dinise, does it?"
"I remember Eisner asking us for help. He also sent the same message to News Corp., but Murdoch made it very clear that they would not consider it," Adrian said at all. I didn't take it to heart, "Yes, I know. Although the media can basically rank first in the media industry, News Corps always keeps up behind, and if they don't work hard to maintain the momentum, they will be overtaken. However, Crowe Sometimes, we should also look at the ideas of our opponents. Yes, the acquisition of Disney allows us to expand our scale again, but as the saying goes, sly mice are easily killed and blind expansion is easy to drag us down. "
At this point, he paused, carefully observed Claude's look, and then continued: "Disney has done a good job in the teen market. But we have done a good job, and I have already got a few good ones. Idea, why ca n’t you wait to get this one, and it just seems that the delicious cake ca n’t wait to eat it? Our future is on the Internet. I ’ve said it many times. Google has already confirmed that they will go on the market this year. , By then, it must be the most noticeable IT stock in recent years. Not to mention Victor's operation of k, uTube and the newly launched tter are all very good. "
Claude showed a thoughtful expression, which made Adrian relieved: "In this regard, we have walked in front of other media groups again and again. It is the thing that should be carefully managed. Why should we stare at Disney? It would be better for them to appear in front of everyone as an independent media group, rather than let us be on the cusp. "
Finally, he stood up and concluded, "We are still very young, Crow, this is our greatest advantage, we-already legendary!"
This is what Adrian really wants to say. Just like most Americans have always subconsciously admired the history of Europe, Claude also hopes that the group can have more qualified companies. The media has always been the most despised place for young people. It has grown from a small company to its current scale in the early ten years. No background is already one of their labels. Even after the acquisition of Universal and Polaroid, it was also picked. Not coming down.
This is another important reason why Claude wanted to acquire Disney in addition to market factors.
Adrian thought the same way from the beginning, but because of his past life experience, he knew very well that the underlying thing was sometimes glory, but sometimes it was a burden. Just like people, when they are young, they are always eager to fight and fight hard. When they are old, they see more things and they will gradually become conservative.
For a company, the media is still very young, and Adrian and Claude, as heads, are also young-not to mention the old men such as Eisner, Murdoch, and Redstone, even compared with these The group pushed the front desk younger than they were. So why bother with it? What's more, as Adrian just said, they are already legendary.
However, in the early ten years, Adrian and Claude have become the most powerful people in the media industry from an unknown name. The former is also a well-known miracle director. The media has also grown from a small business to become a worldwide A very influential media group, which can be described as a magical development course must enter the MBA courses of various schools.
Throughout history, such a company with a development speed can be counted with two hands. It is not an exaggeration to say that the legend is alive. In fact, Adrian's grand plan is also moving towards this goal, of course, more for himself.
"Okay." Claude finally let go. "I'll let people re-evaluate."
It was not surprising that he did not expressly give up, indicating that he still had his own ideas. Adrian understood very well, and he knew that he must still ask.
"But." Claude continued, and with a smirk, "you have to make sure we make some progress in the teen market."
"Okay," Adrian said with a bit of laughter. "I said I had some ideas."
Adrian did have an idea, a very good idea, without the burden of ten years, without conflicts and with Miramax, although Eisner's contraction strategy made Disney smaller than other media air masses, but overall It is still being expanded. And the benefits are pretty good. As a result, their civil strife must be long, at least longer than Adrian remembered, which gave him the opportunity, but he found many interesting things.
After resolving this, Adrian immediately turned his attention to other aspects. Oscar has passed and he has already got a second best director and got off to a good start. Naturally, the second step of the plan has to be carried out. He is a director and producer anyway, and does not need to be exposed in front of the camera like a star.
So, Adrian began to get busy for the early part of Brokeback Mountain, not just for the location in Montana-in fact, the film was basically filmed in location-but also A series of things are arranged properly. Needless to say to buy or help Disney. Crowder did not completely abandon his views and needed several more discussions. Adrian always felt like he had overlooked something. When he persuaded Claude that something had disappeared from his mind, he couldn't catch it, but couldn't find it when he tried to find it again.
This situation is also normal. Although Adrian's memory is good, it does not mean that he can think of anything at any time.
In addition, it is the later stage of "Innocent". With the completion of the "The Matrix" trilogy and the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, he can devote more energy to making it more perfect, although He hadn't devoted much energy to those two trilogy before.
Then, some movies or TV series have to ask about it. For example, Scarlett's "New Jersey" has been scheduled to be released in the off-season at the end of March, and Peter Jackson's "King Kong", directed by Naomi, has also targeted this summer's summer vacation.
For the former, there is nothing to say. Adrian watched it briefly. There are too many movies with the theme of "slightly sick teenagers regaining their self because of love and friendship." A bright spot in front of me. However, Scarlett is relatively lively, although she is half a chip worse than the original Natalie. Pretty flattering, she's quite suitable for this role.
And although this kind of film is cliché, it is always available in the market, and as long as the plot is satisfactory, word of mouth will not be worse. In addition, the cost is also low, and I still earn some money. It is suitable for Scarlett to maintain popularity. But that's it.
As for "King Kong", how to say, under the intervention of Adrian, this version of "King Kong" has been much better, at least as the protagonist of King Kong did not come out after half of the plot, the rhythm is not bad, The atmospheric scenes are well edited, but ... Peter Jackson is still suitable for that kind of pure fantasy film.
He is still obsessed with CG, so that the special effects are over-rendered. Although the island where King Kong is located looks beautiful and charming, the layer of color is too obvious, but it gives people an unreal feeling. It doesn't matter if it is placed in a movie with a fantasy background, such as "The Lord of the Rings", but it is inevitable that it will be in a movie based on reality.
But Adrian didn't say much. When the movie was released, Jackson let himself observe the reaction of the market. It was because he had made Naomi so beautiful.
Naomi's appearance in "King Kong" can be described as quite bright and moving, especially the weak and pitiful appearance shown in the beginning of the Great Depression, which is enough to make many people feel pity, so Ah Drian was always pleased that he had taken a few tricks to hold her by her side. It was just that she wanted to master her behind-the-scenes or shooting skills, but it looks like it will take a long time.
The reason why he and Nicole shot Naomi in the film "Derailed Wife" was to see if she could help herself in the future, from lighting to props to shooting It's all because he is in charge, and the efficiency is too low. Until now, he has just completed "Betrayed Shakespeare". Although "Derailed Wife" has been easily filmed, it will take time to edit it-this is also something he has been busy with recently One ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Fortunately, Sophie has gradually let go of her director. Maybe she is not as talented as other female directors, but the rules are fine. Let her take the camera, plus Guidance from the side will certainly be better.
Well, Adrian might have persuaded Sophie to have no other idea at first, but then there must have been, so he wanted to train other women too. Everyone got together to work for a woman's fame, ha, it must be very interesting, the relationship will be more harmonious, and ... closer to him.
Just like Naomi, after Adrian and Nicole collided passionately in front of the camera, she said that she could use the "Vip Card" method to pay her. She also revealed in private that she wanted to run a " VIP card".
Adrian will definitely not refuse, anyway, this year and next, the impact on the best actress will temporarily come to an end, Naomi wants this easy, at least for three or four years, just fine Handle. Of course, it will take time. At least two women will apply this year. Take it slowly, just like letting her learn how to use mirrors or lighting.
That's what Adrian has to do before preparing Brokeback Mountain-oh, one more thing, a long-planned thing. (To be continued ...)
