Chapter 242 Integration

9days ago Urban Novels 8
Okay, everyone, now all the leaders of various departments are left behind, and I can also say some things.Scandaling the people present in the conference room, Adrian said with a smile.

A few minutes ago, he held an interim employee meeting outside, comforting the panic of the employees of the world due to the change in ownership of the company again. It was not very successful or bad. The name of director Miracle was there, and the company should be able to develop better than it is now.

However, it is different in the eyes of executives. They discussed the changes that will happen after AC Media takes control of the world a few weeks ago. Now that the moment is really coming, it is naturally not something that can be comforted by just a few words.

I know you're worried.After a moment of silence, Adrian spoke again, but if you understand my style of doing things, you will know that such worries are unnecessary.

He raised a finger: First of all, Ron will continue to serve as the CEO of Global and serve as the CEO for a long time. Over the past years, he has not only firmly stabilized the direction of Global in the midst of frequent changes, but also achieved considerable results. He has proved that he is an excellent CEO, and I can't think of a person who is more suitable for this position than him.

As he said that, he raised his hand to Ron Mayer sitting on the right, Meyer, sitting upright, nodded slightly and said briefly, "Thank you, humble and polite."

The same goes for others.Adrian continued, "Without your efforts, Global will not stick to this day, so I hope you all can continue to work hard and achieve better results."

There are some things that need not be said so clearly. These executives have been rolling in the mall for many years. How could they not understand what Adrian meant? After this sentence, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The action was very concealed and immediately became energetic. They knew that the new boss had not finished speaking.

Sure enough, Adrian looked at Claude Ronris, the best friend sitting on his left and the CEO of AC Media, and made a gesture backwards. Then, the beautiful female secretary placed several folders in front of them.

This is my thoughts on the future. You can see if you have any questions. Please ask them.He said so.

All executives, including Meyer, began to open up their things.

They looked at it quietly, but occasionally they would raise their heads to exchange glances. Adrian was not in a hurry and sat there steadily waiting.

It didn't take long for them to read his plan, and then there was a whispering discussion. Meyer did not join in, but sat quietly in his seat and looked at them. After the discussion was finished, he turned to look at Adrian: This is a surprisingly huge idea. Mr. Adrian, please forgive us, we cannot make a definite assessment in a short period of time.

I see.

Adrian nodded, IMHO, Global has been silent for too long. Although it has developed quite well in recent years, and it is still very valuable when ownership changes continue to change.But everything has advantages and disadvantages. While maintaining the basic development progress, everyone has lost the enterprising mentality, especially after Spielberg left Global to establish DreamWorks, this mentality was particularly prominent.And now, we are not Panasonic, we have no cultural differences and do not understand the American audience's thinking; we are not Sigram, we are ignorant of the media, and we are commanding randomly.We have experience and talent, so why can't we do better?I need you to work harder, and you need to see farther away. Just like making a movie, screenwriter, actor, director is important, but scene writer, prop artist, and lighting engineer are equally important. As long as we work together, we can do better!

He straightened his body, shook his hands into fists for a short time, but waved his hands hard, looking at the people doing it with a bright look. Even though he knew he was laying the groundwork for the plans on the documents, the executives still couldn't help but take a deep breath.

I understand your ideas, so this matter does not need to be done in one go. We can make adjustments based on actual conditions to ensure the smooth integration.

He then said this, with a firmness and unquestionable tone in his tone.

Adrian's plan is actually very simple, which is to split Bosworth and then merge most of the resources into the world.

Before this, Bosworth was ranked first among the three largest film production and distribution companies. After all, Adrian brought it up by himself, and Lavern, who was in charge of the operation, did a very good job. Even though he was later promoted to the headquarters, his foundation was laid very firmly.

But Bosvo's idea still has a long way to go to the level of the seven major film companies. After all, the seven major film companies have developed in Hollywood for more than half a century and are deeply rooted and cannot be replaced by casually.

What's more, it is impossible to get the overseas distribution rights without deep qualifications. The reason why DreamWorks cannot enter the MPAA is because it does not have overseas distribution rights, so Adrian set the goal of acquiring one of the seven major film companies from the beginning.

In his plan, the companies responsible for film and television production and distribution should be divided in this way. First, there must be a large company with qualifications and strong risk resistance, which produces and publishes large-scale productions with large investments; secondly, there must be two medium-sized companies that produce and distribute works with medium investments most of the time, and occasionally involve some large investments. One can prefer independent films to obtain honors, and the other prefer commercial films to obtain more profits; finally, a small company with a good foundation and qualifications is responsible for producing and distributing small investments and small-cost movies.

In fact, this plan is already a product of adjustment based on actual conditions, such as Miramax and the new line correspond to medium-sized companies.

Now that Universal has obtained it, naturally, it is the only one who should be responsible for the big investment and big production. Then Bosworth seems a bit redundant, so Adrina split them out and merged them into Universal.

He brought most of the staff in Bosworth, and he worked hard without credit. It was impossible to lay off all the employees.

Besides, they are familiar with his style of conduct, and they are more handy and more...

Easy to control the world.

However, the ideas of the executives of the Global World need to be considered. Most of their abilities are very good and they cannot be disheartening.

That's why the above words have been expressed. Since they have expressed their attitude and determination, they have given them time to get started.

As for Bosworth, although he was downgraded to third place after the split, his actual status did not count, and Adrian would not leave it alone.

If small investments and small productions operate well, they may not fail to develop. Lionsgate was established last year and is still inconspicuous at present. It has always been mainly used to produce and release horror movies, but Adrian knows that it is precisely because of their unique vision in horror movies that they will develop to the pinnacle of Hollywood's second-tier film companies in the future.

Unfortunately, they are destined to be unable to achieve this point now. From the moment they established and bought it, Adrian made people keep a close eye on them. As long as the Lions Gate is optimistic about, if it is valuable, they will immediately buy it at a higher price. What's more, he has the impression of several horror films that have developed the Lions Gate.

Such suppression is nothing in Hollywood. DreamWorks has been secretly stumbling about its company in recent years. If Bosworth had not been lucky enough, no one would have seen their potential, but it had developed rapidly and steadily. Maybe it is still struggling in the second-tier film company, and so is AC Media.

The conference room was buzzing, and executives began to discuss that in the plan, most of the people who produced and released the movies and most of the people who produced and released the TV series were going to merge into the world, and they couldn't help but think carefully.

The seven major film companies basically involve TV production, and there are many excellent works, such as Warner. Although "Friends" is not available, a TV series that influenced the United States in the 1990s, it still has good works broadcast on NBC and competes with ABC for ratings.

Needless to say, Fox and Disney, most of the TV series on FOX TV are produced by the former, and the latter's Disney channel has always been loved by families across the United States.

Global has also launched many TV series, and has been acquired in recent years. In order to ensure the company's development, it has to spend more resources on movies and TV series that recover costs faster.

So Adrian didn't interrupt their discussion, but just listened quietly, chatted with Cloud from time to time, and then answered the questions raised by Mayer and other executives.

After about ten minutes of touching, the discussion gradually became lowered. In his eyes, Adrian cleared his throat: So, let's stop here for the time being. If you have any suggestions, please summarize them and submit them to Meyer in writing, and then he will combine them and hand them over to me.

He doesn't plan to listen to their suggestions right away. It's only been more than an hour. What good suggestions can they come up with?But he didn't mind impressing them before leaving.

In addition, I have also prepared some plans for the production of movies and TV series.Adrian said as he made a gesture to the back, and Charlize quickly handed a book to him.

I plan to adapt this novel into a TV series.

He handed the book to Meyer, then watched them circulated and played it on cable TV. There were eleven episodes in total, with each episode investing between 80 million and 100 million US dollars. It can be jointly invested by Universal and TBS's TNT TV station, and invited Spielberg to supervise this. This was what he promised me.

A low cry sounded, especially those who saw the book, investing between 80 million and 100 million US dollars per episode?

This is too exaggerated. Although the production costs of TV series are increasing now, such a large investment has never been done.

Before they could express their opinions, Adrian took three books from Charlize and placed them on the long table in turn: This is my movie plan, and I plan to adapt these three books into movies.

After seeing the covers of those three books, low cries rang again. These three books are so famous that no one here has ever read them.

Do you want to... adapt these three novels into movies?Mayer hesitated for a moment and then asked uncertainly.

Yes, a novel and a movie are invested and produced by Universal. Don't worry, three movies require about $300 million to $3.5 billion, which is not much higher than "Titanic".

Adrian made a little joke. As early as the end of 1994, I had someone get the adaptation rights. I have been preparing for so many years. I have drawn a lot of scene pictures and character settings pictures, and the shooting location and role actors have also given certain considerations. I like to make long-term plans.

He put his hands crossed on the long table, smiling and raised his chin slightly, feeling confident, and at the same time, he also gave people a condescending feeling of looking down, which made everyone present forget to raise questions for a while.

********************

You really have it, Ed, you shocked the audience, and they had nothing to say.

Sitting in the RV, Claude laughed loudly, then imitated Adrian's tone at that time and said: It's very simple, this is my movie!

He learned that unquestionable tone.

Isn't this my movie?Adrian shrugged, took out a bottle of champagne and three glasses from the small wine cabinet, poured it over and handed it to Claude and Charlize beside him.

But it will be done in one year next year...frankly, even me, it feels a bit exaggerated.

Claude said with a cup in his hand, "I remember, you're going to film a new movie in Italy right away?"And it's...

He didn't say the back half, but squeezed his eyes at Charlize.

It can be completed in at most two months, and at most three to four months in the later stage, and will not delay shooting next year.Adrian said leisurely, you know, I always make movies very quickly.

It's Ah, it's Ah. Even someone who doesn't know much about making movies knows that no one can ever release a high-cost movie in less than half a year, and it can always get a good box office.

Claude sighed, but immediately became happy. If it were me, I wouldn't be sure to impress them in a short time. You are indeed unmatched in this regard, Ed.

That's because I can leave you with more important things.

Adrian said seriously, "Because of you, I can focus my energy on this whole. I know how much effort you have spent on acquiring TBS, ABC, and Global, and who are you facing along the way.

Because... Claude was in a trance, as if he was trapped in the memory. You said that as long as we are intimate, we will not be defeated!

He looked into his eyes, showed a serious look, and then patted his shoulder: I always remember what you said when you came to encourage me that night. Frankly speaking, I really felt bored at first, and I felt like you were whimsical again, but later... I was attracted by you before I knew it, and then, now, what else is more exciting than watching the ambitions realize little by little?

certainly.Adrian laughed and patted Claude hard on the shoulder: The world will be ours!

Both hands squeezed hard, and in the smiling eyes, everything was self-evident, and then

Can you not look at me affectionately like this?It's easy to misunderstand, Crow.

Yeah?If you didn't use the same trick as you deal with women to me, I wouldn't bother to see you, Ed.

Use the way to deal with women to deal with you?Don't joke, I'm not good at this.

Of course, we all know what you like, hey, Charlie, don't you think it's boring to stay by this fickle man?Why not try to start your own business?

I warn you, Crow, don't instigate my secretary, or I will turn against you!

Looking at the two men who were shattering each other and staring at each other, as if they might be able to do anything at any time, Charlize rolled his eyes and turned his eyes outside the car window.

A smile unknowingly climbed up to the corner of her mouth, but a few minutes later a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, and then she sighed invisibly.

The Global issue has come to an end for the time being. Claude is responsible for the specific split and integration. Adrian only needs to pay attention at any time. With Lavern's care, Bosworth's people will not suffer too much.

However, some things should indeed be started, such as the TV series that was planned to be handed over to Global Investment.

That's right, "Brothers", which caused a sensation in his previous life just after entering the 21st century. Adrian always started to do the movies and TV series adapted from novels very early.

Although with his support, TNT has successfully transformed into a cable TV station that produces its own TV programs and has won a lot of users, it is still not as good as a TV station like HBO in terms of its foundation.

Although "Sex and the City" and "The Soprano" have become TNT's works because of Adrian, HBO has released some pretty good TV series, and it is not easy to kill them completely.

So by taking advantage of the opportunity of integrating the world, TNT made this TV series just right. There was no shortage of funds and producers anyway. When he introduced the script of "Saving Private Ryan" to Spielberg, Adrian used the excuse of getting inspiration from "Brothers" as an excuse, and told him about his plans. He also agreed when he half-jokingly invited him to serve as the producer.

After this TV series, which is considered a super investment at the current stage, is broadcast on TNT, even if HBO can still persist, it will not pose a threat to TNT that firmly establishes its own position for a long time.

But this is just one of his many jobs that need to be asked about, and there are some things that he needs to deal with personally. Nintendo came to the door through TBS.

During the period when Japanese companies invaded the United States in large numbers, they had more or less connected with American companies. For example, Capcom had a good relationship with Marvel Comics and launched a fighting game about the X-Men in 1995.

TBS has a lot of animation copyrights, so there is a popular animation channel. Nintendo came to sell an animation they made, an animation derived from the game.
