What do you think he will do, Crow?Adrian asked after Turner left.

There is a high possibility of agreeing to the conditions we offer.

After thinking about it, Claude said this. Although he still has some countermeasures, that won’t work for us. At best, it’s more money and time.Ted also understood this, and it would be no good for everyone to make a desperate attempt, so he would agree to us in the end.Of course, your words also played a great role, and they were quite imposing and arrogant.

Ted has entered a military academy and has a unyielding personality in his bones. In addition, he is full of strong contradictory enterprising spirit. Otherwise, TBS would not have developed to this level today, so promoting his achievements with a strong attitude will resonate with him.

Adrian shrugged, but in my opinion, when you praised CNN and revealed that when you chose TBS with more prospects rather than ABC with continuous losses, he felt respect and satisfaction played a greater role.I still remember when we praised CNN's 24-hour uninterrupted news as an amazing setting, he did not hide his pride and pride at all.

That's of course, this should be his most valuable creativity.

Claude laughed, but I insisted on my opinion. After all, there is no fact as a basis for it, and a strong attitude will only arouse the disgust of his kind.Speaking of this, I have to sigh, but you have achieved this in three years... You are right, Ed, on this, it is indeed what you say will happen, which is amazing!

The same is true for you, Crow, without you, AC Media will not develop so quickly, and we will not negotiate the acquisition with Ted now.

Adrian raised his hands, stop sighing, this is just the beginning.

After pausing, he said again: By the way, if Ted agreed to our conditions, what would you plan to arrange for him?

what you think?Claude asked back after pondering for a while.

The two looked at each other and said in unison: Vice President.

They were slightly stunned, and the two of them laughed at the same time.

To fully control TBS in our hands, Ted will definitely not be able to continue to serve as CEO of TBS.That's what Claude thought, but Adrian had other thoughts in his mind.

He is too old.

Adrian said this. Although he was unwilling to give in and still maintained his spirit of entering, some ideas were difficult to change after a long period of accumulation, and the next few years were an era where ideas needed to be constantly renovated!

Although the two have different starting points, the purpose is to kick Ted Turner out in the same way, if necessary.This is also a very normal business practice.

Internet tide?Claude asked as he looked at Adrian.

The Internet tide.Adrian nodded as he sipped his coffee.

Claude didn't say anything anymore. He knew that Adrian had always been full of the Internet. He could be said to be fanatical. He not only kept in touch with Stanford, but also privately followed several college students in electromechanical engineering through Reget. Adrian didn't hide these from him.

By the way, Crow, I want to tell you about the current strong momentum of film companies.

Adrian spoke again at this time. Although it would be fine to tell Lafone, I think it might have a greater effect with your support.

Claude makes a gesture to say.

When I talked about this some time ago, you didn’t explain it in detail, but I know that even if the situation is not bad, it is not much better.

Adrian said thinking, so I kept thinking about the solution.

It's really not much better. If it weren't for the successful entry of Viacom's board of directors through the acquisition of Paramount, because Schindler's List had joined several deals with some Jewish bigwigs online, and with the support of his father, it's hard to say what AC Media would face now.

As I said to Ted before, I don’t understand some things, so I can only think from my perspective, and others will depend on you to supplement them.

Adrian said and made a gesture. We are now in a situation where the momentum is too high, so just drop it, and my idea is to release some low-cost independent movies in large quantities.

He said that he paused here, and after taking a sip of coffee, he continued to say: You know, the initial production of almost all independent movies at low cost, so the film company has a good reputation in the independent movie industry, so we can use this reputation to release as many movies as possible.Of course, there are only a few of them who can make money. Most of them are good enough to protect the capital, and more of them are losses. In this way, our upward momentum will be curbed from the data.As for losses, these movies are relatively small in cost, so as long as they can operate, such as recovering costs through videotapes, the loss is not too great, it is completely within the affordable range, and, you know, tax avoidance.

And there are two benefits to doing this.

Seeing what Claude wanted to say, Adrian immediately raised his hand and pressed it in the air. First of all, we can continue to maintain our reputation in the independent film industry. Although large investment in large productions will be a trend, we must not leave small production movies because of this. Secondly, there will also be high box office movies in small productions. I have proved this personally, and in addition, it can also enrich the film source library, so there is no reason not to do so.

These are all ideal states, right?Claude said after thinking about it.

Of course, but you have to admit that this is indeed a practicable approach.Adrian shrugged, don't forget...

Yes, I know, we have to supplement the others.Claude looked at him angrily and amusedly, you guy!

Then I'll leave if there's nothing else.Adrian said and stood up.

I'm leaving in just a few minutes. Who are you going to date today?Claude sighed.

Kate, she didn't seem to be in a good mood today and had already coaxed her on the phone before.Adrian replied with a smile, "I'm considering traveling with her for a few days."

You guy... Claude shook his head and seemed to think his behavior was not good. Unexpectedly, Adrian immediately teased him in a lazy voice: Don't tell me, Clau, you were in the hotel with the German model that day and only talked for a night, or do you want to say that you and those models are just ordinary friends?

That's different, I'm just playing, and now... Claude suddenly closed his mouth when he made a gesture, Adrian reached out and pointed him half-jokingly and half-warning, and then walked out with a laugh.

Still the same, not changing at all.

Claude laughed, and then walked out after tidying up his clothes.

No, there have been changes, and there have been a lot of changes.

After watching Adrian's car leave outside the club, Claude, who got into his car, thought so.

Recalling the past three years, even though he has always been determined, he can't help but feel like he is dreaming.

I want to take control of Hollywood!

This was what Adrian said to him at the time, when he was just thinking it was a joke, and now they have their own careers and have taken the most solid step toward this goal.

Claude remembers the sneer when Adrian asked him whether he wanted to follow his father's plan, or have his own career, and pointed to the lights outside the floor-to-ceiling glass and said, "I looked at those people's disdain, or the spirit of describing the prospects of the Internet."

Frankly speaking, for a while, he was really unfamiliar with his best friend. He suddenly realized that he wanted to cheer up and understood it. It was okay for him to have a sudden whim to set grand goals for himself, but it was incredible that a guy who had never touched a movie made a movie again and again and again made a low-cost and high-box office movie.

I never knew that this child would have such talent. Maybe this is really a gift from God?Old Ron Rees said to Claude half surprised and half curious.

However, this sense of strangeness did not last long. Although Adrian had some changes in his words and behaviors and living habits, he was still the guy who was familiar with Cloud, especially when asked why he could make a movie, this guy owed beat and answered: Because I am a genius.

If Claude had already put him on the ground when he was at Stanford, of course, it was more likely that he was let down, so Adrian was very good at fighting.

However, this is not the most important reason. The most important reason is that this guy's hobby of hunting for beauty has basically not changed. He just went to the UK and came back with a beautiful girl.

You should know that Adrian was famous for picking up girls when he was in the college fraternity. He brought or took away different girls at each fraternity party. Although it was normal for rich children like Claude and others to have such a chaotic and even corrupt university life, there were still rumors that girls with slightly more beautiful appearance in Stanford had slept with Adrian, and it was widely circulated.

This is indeed a rumor. As a close friend, Claude knew his movements clearly. Although Adrian liked to pick up girls, he was not that far.

However, the reason why rumors can be so widely circulated is also based on the basis of the reason. In a NCAA league, when the University of Washington was visiting Stanford, the two teams outside played fiercely, and he and the cheerleader also fought fiercely in the locker room. As a result, the cheerleaders couldn't find the captain for a long time when they needed to perform. As a result, it is conceivable how bad the midfield performance was.

Fortunately, few people knew the specific situation, neither Adrian nor the cheerleader named Jiya was punished for this.

Of course, at first, Claude didn't think so, because Adrian never brought the girl home before, so he just thought he wanted to settle down, but this idea was overturned after Monica appeared next to Adrian, and Claude found that his best friend had changed and not changed.

Adrian not only brought Kate home, but also maintained a relationship with Monica. He also played one-night stands outside occasionally. Although he would not take the initiative to talk about it, just Cloud asked, he would not hide it.

Under this situation, Adrian still maintained...

Um……

The trait of a principled bastard.

Principled bastard This title was not given to Adrian by Claude, but by the cheerleader who had beautiful blonde hair and a beautiful figure.

If Adrian had not commissioned the help of the student president of the NCAA League, Jiya might not have been punished, but...

Since this matter was caused by me, of course I have to take responsibility.

At that time, Adrian was not as mature and confident as he is now. His lazy look made him look quite unruly and attractive to young girls, so after expressing his gratitude, Jiya immediately started to take off her clothes again.

Interestingly, this comment was unanimously recognized by girls who had a relationship with Adrian, which shows that Adrian's reputation as a woman is quite good.

If they really want to leave, I will not stop them.That's what he said now.

Hell, why am I recalling such things?

Claude, who was driving the car, suddenly burst into laughter.

Perhaps it is because the most important acquisition case is finally settled. After all, this is an indispensable part of the blueprint they have built.

It is a miracle that can develop a completely newly established media company to this point within three years.

I am proud of you and proud of you, son, for you two.My father was very serious when he said this.

If Adrian hadn't encouraged him to start a business together, maybe he would have been working hard in his father's company.

Claude sighed in his heart.

Adrian has been surprise him since 1990, and he also wanted to know what kind of surprises will be next. Although his confidence in the Internet is not as strong as Adrian, he has carefully studied it early after being influenced by Adrian and is still optimistic about the prospects of the Internet.

I am waiting for the arrival of the Internet tide, and I hope it won't disappoint.

Claude mumbled like this, a slight smile appeared on his face. At this moment, he inexplicably felt extremely confident: we will continue to create miracles!

But in the next second, Claude, who looked at the time, turned his attention to other aspects.

The German model named Heidi Kram probably will return to New York tomorrow and can make an appointment today to have fun.

As Adrian's best friend, how could he not be interested in women? But he doesn't have a lot of spare time like Adrian, so most of the time he just plays with models, and these women are the easiest to get started.

Compared to Claude, although Adrian was also driving on the way to the appointment, he was thinking about the company's affairs.

The method of distributing large quantities of low-cost or independent movies was found after searching for a long time in his memory. Lionsgate Movie relied on this trick to gain a foothold in Hollywood and grew stronger with the pile of B-level movies.

If Miramax had not been able to have a very high reputation in the independent film industry at that time, and Weinstein's deep qualifications in Hollywood, maybe the Lions Gate could have competed with them here.

Now if it were Bothworth's move, it would definitely be better. With Adrian's few low-cost independent films, Bothworth has divided at least half of Miramax's influence in the independent film industry. If Lavern operates well, this influence cannot be further expanded.

At the same time, you can also fill the film source library, and the losses can be minimized by issuing videotapes. It can also curb your rising momentum on the surface. Why not do it if you kill a few shots?

As for the negative impact of this move, for example, although Lions Gate occupies a position among second-tier film companies, it has become synonymous with B-level movies, and there are almost no particularly large productions.

Don't forget what Adrian does.

If I had thought of it earlier, should the film company grow stronger now?Thinking of this, Adrian shook his head, took out his cell phone and started calling.

The negotiations ended like this, and an important issue was solved, but it still takes time to do whatever the final result would be.

As for other aspects, with the arrival of March, there are more and more articles about Oscars. Although many people know that "Schindler's List" has advantages that other movies cannot reach, they still analyze the advantages and disadvantages of other movies in order to show fairness.

However, under "Schindler's List", the most likely one to get the best movie is "Piano Lesson". Bothworth, who produced and distributed these two movies, has received a lot of attention. Some enthusiasts lamented in the article: When other film companies are worried about how to canvas vote for their own movies, Bothworth Pictures is worried about which movie they want to canvas vote for. They were like this last year, and this year is still the case. It's really surprising.

This invisibly pushed Bosworth Films to a higher level, but Adrian was not worried. Anyway, he had already reached this point, so why bother to hide it?

Besides, the solution has been decided, but it just takes time to execute it. There is no way to take effect immediately.

Lavern always did PR for Schindler's List as Adrian told him, and Tom Hanks' best actor.

Although Hanks has an advantage in this Oscar, he does not have an absolute advantage. Needless to say, Liam Neeson is nominated for the Irishman, and it is the first time he is nominated, and he is still a film produced by Bothworth Films, which can be basically ignored; and Anthony Hopkins has won the best actor once, and it is difficult to win again unless it has been too long or the performance is impeccable; as for Lawrence Fishburne, the complexion of his skin has determined that it is impossible now; so his biggest opponent is Daniel Day Louis.

This guy is qualified and has acting skills, and "In the Name of Father" has also received many praises, which poses a considerable threat to Hanks.
