Chapter 176 Two neither good nor bad news

9days ago Urban Novels 8
Peter Parker, an orphan, lives in Queens, New York with his uncle and aunt. He was bitten by a mutant spider in an extracurricular activity and has superpowers. He became Spider-Man because his uncle died in front of him, and had a crush on his high school classmate Mary.

Such a young man who seemed ordinary when he was not a superhero was very popular when he was first published, and he had a strong sense of substitution.

From the beginning, he was an ordinary American high school student. He was bullied in school, had no many friends, had a crush on girls but did not dare to confess his love, which was in line with the image of most American high school students, isn’t it?

After becoming a superhero, he was excellent in maintaining justice, but in normal times he was still a young man who was busy making a living, which was also in line with the image of most young Americans, isn’t it?

In any country, mediocre people are the majority, but these people also long to become unsubstantial, such as transforming themselves into superheroes to save the world.

It is this strong resonance that made Spider-Man extremely popular as soon as it was published and became one of the most popular superheroes.

As such, the original movie became the most popular among the Marvel superheroes.

In Adrian's memory, the copyright of Spider-Man's movie was obtained by them because Sony owns the copyright of Spider-Man's Japanese TV. So they made a big profit with the trilogy, completely getting rid of the predicament and achieving good development in the years of the early 21st century.

Of course it is impossible now, Adrian has no reason to hand over this gold mine to them, right?

Although they are quite friendly, they are all media groups, and competition is inevitable.

Of course, it is not in AC Media's current interests to weaken Sony too much. Emmerich just happened to have a crush on the script "Godzilla" as he remembered. Now he is contacting him to invest in this movie, so Adrian doesn't mind introducing it to Sony.

Although this movie has a good box office, it doesn't make much money compared to the huge investment, so it's perfect to give it to Sony.

But then again, this movie originally seemed to be invested and released by Sony?

But what does this matter?

In addition, we can also authorize other comic characters, such as the X-Men, to produce them.You don’t have to take out too much at a time. After seeing the market results, other film companies will naturally come to ask us for help.

After confirming that the work adapted into the movie was "Spider-Man", Adrian immediately started talking.

The surprising senior officials did not have any objection to adapting Spider-Man into a movie. They obviously had also discussed it a long time ago, but their views on "X-Men" were different.

Why not "The Hulk"?Someone asked this.

Because if "The Hulk" is not handled well, it will be hated by the audience. A violent man dominated by emotions has a completely different feeling when reading comics and watching movies.

Adrian replied.

In my memory, "The Hulk" is not likable. Although there is a certain literary and gay director. Maybe, maybe not. Who knows that the bad work is ahead of me, and it also has a big problem. As Adrian said, the Hulk fights very well, but if it is too violent and brainless, the sense of substitution will be very poor. Therefore, unless there is a good script and a good director, it will be difficult for this movie adapted from the comic to have any development.

However, although this comic character is likely to be abandoned, it does not mean it is useless, because...hehe...

Although no one would question the statement of the director and boss of Miracle, they inevitably had to argue with each other, and even Stan Lee, who was old god, couldn't help but interject a few words.

The result is that until the end of the meeting, there was no determination as to which comic will be adapted after Spider-Man.

This efficiency is really bad, but Adrian didn't take it seriously. Anyway, he had already arranged the movie version of "Spider-Man" to be released in 1999. The little goblin is still a little smaller now. The filming next year is just right, right?

As for Spider-Man’s candidate, let’s take a look first, and it doesn’t necessarily mean Toby Maguire.

Let them argue first, I believe they will see the value of X-Men.Adrian said this when Claude asked him why he wasn't sure in his final sentence in the RV.

Adrian told him that he had decided that in addition to Spider-Man, "X-Men" must be filmed, but he did not stick to his opinion in previous meetings.

Their concerns are not wrong. There are too many roles in "X-Men", and it is difficult to guarantee box office if all newcomers are enabled; if all big names are used, it will be troublesome to create a sequel.So it must be discussed in detail, and it is very likely that there will be more investment than Spider-Man.

Adrian continued, although we can attract other film companies to invest, it is not a bad thing to let them discuss more, so as not to get lost in the victory.

To be honest, although the box office of "X-Men" is good, it doesn't make much money compared to the investment, not to mention that there are various dividends.

Although there are various peripherals, the data is not very good after all. Taking investment from other companies not only shares risks but also shows your generosity. Anyway, the copyrights around them are all in your hands.

It sounds like you're sure Spider-Man can make a big hit.Claude opened the small refrigerator in the car and poured two glasses of whiskey.

Of course, this is my judgment.Adrian raised the cup with considerable confidence.

That being said, there are still homework to do, and not just Spider-Man, but X-Men.

Mr. Wolverine has probably developed in Hollywood, so he has to take some time to find out. If he is determined, Michael can sign him.

By the way, if it is appropriate, you might as well make that movie. The box office in memory is not good because of some reasons. If it has reached the present, it would not have been repeated.

Besides, Black Pearl doesn't seem to have any influential works during this period, which is just right. As for Travolta, he is filming Wu Baige's "Multi-faced Two Heroes" with Cage. If he can't get out of it, it's okay if he can't get out of it, then look for someone else. Why don't you let Sean Pan try it?

After siping the wine in the glass, countless thoughts flipped through Adrian's mind, but they were quickly thrown out. Let's talk about these things later, there are more important things now.

OK, let’s talk about our affairs.Adrian placed the cup on the tray.

No problem, why do you have to go to New York first and then back to Los Angeles?Cloud, who also put down the cup, asked this question.

Adrian shrugged in confusion, not understanding why he asked this: I'll visit my uncle by the way, you know, I want to act like a good nephew.

It was true, and it was dressed up successfully, and Uncle Anderson was very satisfied with his attitude, even though he was very clear about his affair.

Of course, you have to go and see your little lover by the way. Keeping the phone and letter communication alone is not enough to enhance your relationship. Spending a few hours with her to roam around is also quite romantic, and it doesn't necessarily mean that she does bed exercise very much.

Then why would you take a flight back to Los Angeles instead of your own luxurious private jet?Claude continued to ask.

Are you jealous?

No, I'm just curious.

You are jealous.

OK, I'm jealous, but I'm also very curious.

OK OK OK.Faced with the tireless Claude, Adrian had to tell the truth. It was no big deal. It was really just that he met a Latin beauty in a nightclub in New York.

Wow.Claude couldn't help but whistle. If you can be attracted by her, then she must be very spicy.

It's really sexy, so...

So you got into bed, but what does it have to do with taking the flight?

She is a singer and a famous singer in Latin America. When she was going to Los Angeles for vacation, I would go with her and...

Then there was a passionate moment in the bathroom at a height of ten thousand meters. It’s really a hell. Isn’t there a bathroom in your extremely luxurious private jet?

If a child is not a fish, how can he know the joy of a fish?

Damn it, don't speak Chinese to me, I hate you speaking Chinese!

Adrian laughed, and Claude rolled his eyes and asked: Name, what is her name?

Shakira, Colombian singer.Adrian returned.

Claude thought about it and showed a sudden look of enlightenment: If I remember correctly, she released an album last year, oh, the year before, and sold millions of sales around the world.

That's right, it's her.Adrian snapped his fingers, and you are collecting more and more information now.

Claude's face became a little strange at this time. He rubbed his chin and looked at Adrian meaningfully: I remember she had a very famous technique...

Of course I have tasted the electric buttocks, quite delicious.A smile appeared on Adrian's face that only men would understand.

It was not just delicious. When Shakira sat on him and began to shake her lower body like an electric motor turned on, Adrian could hardly do anything except hissing and sucking in the cold air. It was even better than in the hotel bed the night before. It was really worthy of his reputation.

Latin beauties are indeed quite enthusiastic. After recognizing each other in a nightclub, Adrian hooked her up without much effort. Moreover, the curves of their lower bodies are quite perfect, as is Shakira, and so is Jennifer Lopez.

But that's true, it's enough to play two or three friendly matches with them, as is Lopez and Shakira, although Lopez is under his and has just released a new album, and when he left the airport, he also exchanged phone numbers with Shakira.

OK, let's talk about something else, Crow.Adrian pulled the topic back. You said it was because of something wrong, right?

Well... Claude picked up the wine glass again, two news that was neither good nor bad.

There is only good news and bad news, and there is no good or bad news.Adrian sat upright.

The first news is that we may not achieve the expected goal at the end of the first phase. Soros is a cunning old fox, and he has enough patience to wait for others to test when he is unsure.

It doesn’t matter, there are risks in the financial market, and there are profits and losses. So, how much?

The best estimate is about $800 million.

This should be good news, at least we still made a lot of money.Adrian laughed, Where is another news?

The plan was postponed, not because of funding, but the bad effects of Seagram's rapid expansion were initially revealed. It will take at least several months to fully ferment them.

This is also good news. We can temporarily put our energy into the second stage and collect more funds and win the target in one fell swoop.

It's neither good nor bad for me.

Claude sipped his whiskey. The situation was generally favorable. We also had many advantages. You and Spielberg had a good relationship, and Spielberg had a good relationship with them. You might as well let him help lobby.Moreover, in Viacom, Redstone already owns Paramount and is now seeking CBS. They will not only not hinder us, but may also strongly support us. However, other companies have many variables.

It doesn’t matter, don’t be so anxious, take it slowly, collecting intelligence is the key, and we haven’t raised funds yet.Adrian smiled slightly.

Are you sure you want to raise funds?Claude raised his eyebrows.

Although it is the last choice, it is always one of the choices.Adrian said, waved his hand, "Okay, let's talk about the topic you are most interested in. How about the Super Bowl?"

It took a lot of effort and the league had agreed. Just by the beginning of next year, Victoria's Secret will surely usher in a climax of development.Speaking of this, Claude couldn't help but feel a little furious.

As the final of American football, the Super Bowl has always been the highest in the United States. If those who love American football are extremely passionate, they will turn on the TV to watch it on this day, so the popularity of the Super Bowl is unparalleled.

If a singer can perform in the Super Bowl, his popularity and fame will rise a lot, and many singers from the top of the king have also performed on it, such as MJ and Madonna.

If Victoria's Secret wants to improve its brand to a higher level, then having a stunning show in the Super Bowl is undoubtedly the best choice.

Several of the heads of Victoria's Secret are very outstanding talents. After being acquired by AC Media, they immediately began to cooperate with ABC and selectively absorbed some of the opinions proposed by Adrian through Claude. This time, they even agreed with the proposal for the show at the Super Bowl.

With two supermodels in charge, and the exclusive model team was quickly established, this underwear brand is currently developing much better than another time and space.

Although Adrian didn't focus on this and didn't know much about it, with Claude next to him, he also understood how much it was. So the catwalk that originally took two years was one year ahead of him at his suggestion.

This will be a new beginning for Victoria's Secret.Adrian said, picking up the cup and lifting it to Claude, then thinking about something.

By the way, Crow, do you have a reserve plan?he asked.

What reserve plan?

Of course it's a model.

Model's?

Claude immediately raised his eyebrows meaningfully, but Adrian rolled his eyes: I am discussing this topic very seriously. Look, although there is an exclusive modeling team, they all come from various model companies, but they don’t belong to us. If you leave after one or two years, it will be a bit troublesome for the company, especially the better models.

This... should not be a big problem. We can extend the contract and have priority signing rights... Wait, don't you want to acquire a modeling company?Claude asked in confusion.

Of course not.Adrian laughed, I just came up with an idea to let ABC produce a talent show: the All-American Supermodel Contest.

Because of the acquisition of Victoria's Secret, Adrian thought of a sitcom that extended from it when he was looking for a suitable high-rated show for ABC: "Victoria's Secret Wardrobe".

This TV series shows the life and work of these underwear models in the form of a sitcom drama. Although it was cut off after only three seasons, the ratings of the first two seasons were quite high.

Adrian is not sure why it was cut. In fact, he has not even read the content carefully. He just has a general understanding of the information on the website. Now this version of "Victoria's Secret Wardrobe" is fully due to the production team.

However, it is not difficult to guess. Victoria's Secret models are not many, and there are only so many things that can be shown. Once the audience has passed the initial curiosity, it is inevitable that the ratings will drop sharply.

In that case, it is essential to replace it with a new show. Adrian originally planned to recall carefully what other TV series would have good ratings in the current environment, but when discussing Victoria's Secret with Claude, a new idea emerged from his mind.

We have discussed before that we now have great shortcomings in traditional paper media, so we can choose to cooperate with groups that have advantages in this regard but lack in emerging media. This is a good start.According to my initial idea, first of all, any American girl can sign up. Secondly, the right girls can be selected under the judgment of the judges, or even fewer, and then they will participate in the training collectively under 24-hour monitoring, such as posing, taking photos, walking on the catwalk, wearing makeup, meeting guests, national culture, etc.After studying, you can play small competitions and eliminate one person without a period of time.We can intersperse some advertisements in the middle, and I mean let them take on some real advertisements, not too big, as long as they are appropriate, so that they can better observe them.Continue this until the last professional model is selected and she is given a generous contract as a reward!

Adrian talked eroticly.
