The meeting of "Night Visit to the Vampire" was quite successful. Although Rice was still doubtful about Cruise's appearance as Leicester, he did not show it.
After all, she herself admitted that Cruise was very suitable only in terms of appearance.
Jordan would not have any other opinions. In fact, he had long wanted to direct a movie related to vampires, and what he was worried about was that Adrian would make trouble in the director's work, but Adrian understood from the beginning that he would be fully responsible for the director's work, so he naturally agreed without hesitation.
Besides, the three starring actors are very suitable for his candidates, and the adaptation of the script is also very suitable for his appetite.
I'm more and more fond of this character now, Ed, you're a good producer.
Cruise also seemed very excited, which was not surprising. He was the only big name on the entire crew, and everyone else showed his due respect.
In contrast, Brad is much more modest. Although he is a few years older than Adrian, he is not stingy at all. Thank you, and he speaks it very sincerely. No wonder he eventually became a superstar as a handyman.
Unfortunately, I met Adrian now, and some things may not belong to him anymore.
As for Kirsten, there is no need to say more, everyone likes her.
A well-behaved and cute girl is always likable, while a well-behaved and cute girl who is very good at acting is even more likable.
However, after the meeting, she and her mother returned to New York, and there were still many scenes on the crew of "Delicious Love".
If there are any regrets when we meet, it is that Cruise’s beautiful wife failed to attend.
After getting this done, he threw it to the film company, and Adrian immediately devoted himself to something more important.
In fact, if Rice and Kirsten had not been rushing back, this would have been the first thing he did.
This is not a complicated thing, it is to go out with a guy to play ball, exercise, steam sauna, etc., and then talk about decision-making.
The situation is not very good. Lei Shidong is obviously determined to win. I think he may raise more funds, not less than $11 billion. Our company is still a little too young.
In the steaming sauna, Claude took a white towel hanging around his neck and wiped his sweaty face, then exhaled his breath.
Adrian was not that particular. Although he also had a white towel around his neck, he wiped it directly with his hands on his face, and was wet and covered in sweat: So what are you going to do?
If you agree to me to use more funds...
You know that's impossible, Crow, you promised me that it won't affect the acquisition of TBS.
Before Claude finished speaking, he was interrupted by Adrian, and he looked uncontroversial. In response, Claude had to shrugge: OK, I understand, but this is a pity, a good opportunity Ah!
The acquisition of Paramount is what Claude mentioned to Adrian at the Vanity Fair party. He had already proposed this idea for Adrian long before the Oscars and gave a feasible strategy through a large amount of data analysis.
After thinking for a long time, Adrian agreed to his request and only proposed that it would not affect the acquisition of TBS.
no problem.
Claude replied confidently at the beginning that according to his analysis, if everything goes well, it only takes $9 billion to get Paramount, and then raise another amount of funds through relationships and can completely acquire TBS.
But did he expect that Summer Redstone and Barry Diller joined in one after another, and both showed a strong interest in Paramount.
These two guys are not fuel-efficient. Diller did not hesitate to launch a malicious acquisition war for this, and Lei Shidong, who faced the threat of divorce, tried his best to dissuade his wife and issued a statement claiming that there was no such divorce to ensure the confidence of investors.
During the days when Adrian went to New York to shoot movies, Claude had fought with them a lot, but because of AC Media's congenital shortcomings and Adrian's TBS first principle, he did not have much advantage.
If the acquisition price cannot be increased, it may lose to these two guys.
OK, Crow, don't take it to heart.Believe me, we will have better and more suitable goals in 6 or 7 years.
Adrian said as he slapped his shoulder a few times, saying in a comforting tone.
He knew that Claude proposed this plan for the company's development. As long as he successfully acquired Paramount, overseas issuance rights and the right to speak in MPAA will not be a problem. Their status in Hollywood will rise, and AC Media will also become a front-line media company.
However, in Adrian's opinion, now is not the best opportunity, and the importance of acquiring TBS is much greater than that of acquiring one of the seven largest film companies.
I have watched a lot of movie-related acquisition cases in my previous life. He still remembers some more famous cases. Several major TV networks have been acquired in the past 1990s. If I don’t take action now, it will be rare to have another chance.
As for film companies, there are better options in the first year after entering the 21st century, and their funds will be more adequate at that time.
Of course, it would not be a bad thing to successfully acquire Paramount while ensuring that TBS is the first. If it has an old film company, many things will be more convenient and easy, so Adrian did not object at the beginning.
Will there be better goals in 6.7 years?Have you started to prophecy again?Claude asked with a smile.
You can think so.Adrian shrugged.
OK OK, if you say something, I have to hand over what I might have obtained to others.Claude sighed a long time, but anyone could hear it, he was just joking.
With your personality, will you easily hand it over to others?Adrian scoffed.
Of course not, I'm ready.Claude wiped his face with a towel again.
I just know, let's hear it.Adrian showed an listening look.
Let Diller and Redstone compete, and we watched from the side. Sooner or later, they would notice the weight of the stocks we hold and then win over us.
Claude said, making a gesture.
Adrien felt a little moved: Which side do you think is more appropriate to turn.
Leishi East.Claude gave the answer even though he thought about it.
Why?Adrian asked with a raised eyebrow, Diller is not bad, too.
Depending on your plan and concept, the benefits of working with Viacom are obviously more.Claude raised his eyebrows too.
Are you planning to take this opportunity to hold a stake in Viacom?Adrian showed a look of surprise.
If I could, I would also like to go to the board.Claude smiled slightly.
Lei Shidong would not allow anyone to share his rights.Adrian reminded.
It doesn't matter, we won't have a conflict with him, right?
Claude looked at Adrian, it was normal to cross-holding anyway. Besides, isn’t you, a miracle director?
Adrian laughed: OK, I agree.
The MTV network in Viacom's hands is enough for them to do so, not to mention that they can further unite in some aspects, at least for a long time, and each other will not be the most important competitors.
Okay, let's go out. It's been steaming for a long time, and it's time to go out.Adrian said and stood up.
By the way, Ed.Claude stopped him by thinking something at this time. There will be a cocktail party at the Beverly Hills Hotel tomorrow night. I think you should probably go there together.
A cocktail party?Oh, spare me, Crow.
Adrian's face suddenly turned bitter. When I was in New York, I attended my uncle's cocktail party a lot. Now I have finally returned to Los Angeles, so let me calm down a little.
Have you attended my uncle's cocktail party a lot?Claude sneered, with a clear statement on his face saying "Don't believe it."
Of course, if you don't believe it, you can call Uncle Anderson to verify.
Adrian said without changing his face, and then changed the subject: By the way, I have already...
Yes, I know, after you called, I had confirmed and had someone come in. The Clinton administration obviously intends to make another profit from the Japanese. Since that is the case, we don’t have to be too polite.
Claude waved his hand, then looked at Adrian and his tone was strengthened: Ed, even if you go and deal with it.
Adrian looked back at Claude, and after a while he sighed: Do you know, Clau, when I directed a new movie in New York, although I only attended the cocktail party held by my uncle twice in total, sometimes I would rather not attend it once.
He continued with a gesture: He invited almost all the executives on Wall Street, as well as several city councillors, state councillors and one councillor.If Greenspan wasn't in Washington, he would definitely invite him there.
This is a good thing!Claude shouted immediately.
Of course it is a good thing for you, but me?Do you know how embarrassed I am when facing these guys?I have no idea what they are talking about!If I were discussing movies or computers or the Internet, I could also add a few words, but finance... Adrian made gestures, not only giggling but also giggling!I often want to be here for how good you should be.
Claude laughed, and waved several times at Adrian, who seemed helpless and angry, before asking: I remember, you said before that the godfather and your uncle didn't seem to get along very well?
Yes, in fact, Uncle Anderson always wanted to make up, but he couldn't stand it. As a result... he never had a chance again. This was what my aunt told me, and he wouldn't say this at all. Then he was dissatisfied with me for not mentioning him in the Oscar winning speech and was ashamed that this was told by my aunt, and I would never admit it.So I want to express my apology to me and my father in this way.
Ha, it's really awkward.
Who said no?But more importantly, this is also sending a message to my cousin, the uncle's son Victor: If you can do as good as Ed, I can do this for you too!
After all, she herself admitted that Cruise was very suitable only in terms of appearance.
Jordan would not have any other opinions. In fact, he had long wanted to direct a movie related to vampires, and what he was worried about was that Adrian would make trouble in the director's work, but Adrian understood from the beginning that he would be fully responsible for the director's work, so he naturally agreed without hesitation.
