Chapter 106 Advantages

From mid-September to early October, Americans finally slowly emerged from their grief. This time the blow was unprecedented. The two iconic towers on the World Trade Center will never exist. Even if they are rebuilt in the future, it has nothing to do with the original two buildings. Such a blow has severely damaged the confidence of Americans.

So, when the government claimed that the terrorist incident was created by a guy whose name and lamp was related to it, and the organization also admitted this, the anger of the people in the United States was aimed at them, and the Bush administration's approval rating rose to an unimaginable level, which was a completely different situation than when he was elected at the beginning of the year, and the decision to send troops was passed without any difficulty.

But it is precisely because of the public's anger that the entertainment industry, especially the film industry, has suffered a lot in the past month. Many movies that are arranged at the end of the summer vacation and want to make a fortune have failed.

Anyway, by the end of September, the box office in North America was extremely sluggish, and it wasn't a little better until October, but it took some time to fully recover, which is why Adrian put "She's All My" until the end of October.

However, there have been some things that are eye-catching in the entertainment industry. The most eye-catching ones are two. The first one is naturally the popularity of "YOU RAISE ME UP". After Christina and Britney sang at the party of "America: Sacrifice to Heroes", they became popular songs on the radio. The number of on-demand times is far higher than other songs commemorating 911 in the same period. Even Michael Jackson's subsequent "What Mre Can I Give" was worse.

Both of them were popular idols, and after performing this song, their popularity suddenly increased a lot.

Especially Christina, the lead singer, has a perfect interpretation of her lively voice, completely comparing Britney and winning the favor of a lot of people. However, the fans of the two must have a big quarrel on the Internet again.

At the same time, fans may not notice it, but no musician will ignore it. In addition to the two well-known lyricists, there is also Adrian's name in the column of the songwriter.

At this point, many things can be confirmed, such as many of Britney's outstanding songs have him involved in this rumor. There is no doubt that the halo on Adrian's head is about to increase again.

But this is not the biggest increase. The Patriot halo is more noticeable than any one. This is another most eye-catching and most concerned thing in the entertainment industry between September and October.

AC Media’s board chairman and the famous Hollywood miracle director Adrian Cowell, in his private name, set up a new foundation to help the families of those who died in 9/11!

The foundation's operation is very transparent, and he said that he invited people from Congress and the government to participate in supervision, so he really invited him to form a supervision committee, and each expenditure was in detail and placed online for people to check, including how much toilet paper was used in the bathroom.

Comparing the Red Cross Association, which had scandals and many charitable funds that also caused problems, this fund was developing almost like a fly. After the inspection, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and others also announced that their donations would be handed over to the foundation for management, which further promoted development. Countless people have invested their donations.

Of course, although Adrian's 100 million donations still take time to arrive, it is still the largest amount of personal donations that no one can surpass, and the reputation of patriots and great philanthropists is also circulating all over the world.

You really disappoint me if you don't call me such a popular thing, Ed!In AC Media's CEO's office, Claude shouted dissatisfiedly, waving the newspaper.

Of course, I can only do such a popular thing.Adrian, who was sitting on the sofa, shrugged indifferently.

The next second, both of them laughed. The head of the media group appeared in the spotlight less often. Although they were in control of the media, it was not suitable for too much exposure.

To be honest, the media is an industry that manipulates people's hearts. Excessive exposure of the head can easily give opponents an opportunity to take advantage of it, so whether it is Redstone or Murdoch, they have much less news to see them in entertainment media than in financial media.

But AC Media is different again. Adrian has the identity of a famous director and has been wandering in front of the stage and behind the scenes. As long as reporters only pay attention to the side of the director, he is still very generous.

Moreover, the specific operational affairs are under the responsibility of Claude. Even if someone wants to do something from it, they have to get apart first. But is this possible?

Therefore, their combination has more advantages. The more dazzling Adrian is, the more he can play a positive role in AC Media's publicity. As long as Claude always keeps a low profile, what the two of them are saying now is just a joke.

You are right, Ed, this disaster will indeed change everything profoundly.

Claude sat back in his seat and sighed. He frowned and looked out the window as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he changed the topic: Do you know? There is news that the Bush administration is planning a bill that authorizes government departments to search various records of individuals and businesses at will, and will be promulgated in the second half of the month.

Adrian knew what he wanted to say at first, but it was enough to know this kind of thing, and there was no need to say it out. The connection between Wall Street and Capitol Hill was so closely divided that it was divided in the past two hundred years since the founding of the United States, so he followed his topic: It is normal that if such a thing happened, in the future, for a long time, maybe a few years or decades, the issue of homeland security will be placed first by the government, and this bill is just the beginning.Don't worry, Crow, this may have a great impact on ordinary people, but it's just a little trouble for us.

Yes, I know, there are some things... Claude shook his head, but the Bush administration or conservatives need a media group that completely turns to them, guess who they will choose.

No need to guess at all.

Adrian laughed loudly. Murdoch claimed in public more than once that he was a conservative and was suppressed by us for so long that the Republican Party only needed to reveal his words and he promised to post it immediately.

You are not worried at all.Claude raised his eyebrows.

Is there anything to worry about?Adrian spread his hands, this is not Britain, and the overall reversal of the Republican Party only gave him a layer of protection, and we have more advantages than his.

News Corp.'s ability to soar in the new century is not unrelated to Murdoch's thighs of the Bush administration or the Republican Party by taking advantage of the 9/11 opportunity.

It just so happened that the Republican Party also needed such a comprehensive and thorough media group to turn to its own, so it hit it off. With their support and proper operating strategies, News Group may have suffered losses in other aspects, but Fox News, films and TV have made great progress.

But now it’s different. AC Media has an advantage over News Corp in all aspects. Of course, neither Adrian nor Claude will completely turn to the Republican Party. Even if Uncle Anderson supports the Republican Party, no matter which country, some media need to make neutral or seemingly neutral voices, otherwise how can people’s hearts be manipulated?

In his previous lives, both Murdoch, Redstone, and Eisner were Jews. Although Sony invited Americans to be CEOs, it was always the Japanese who dominated the affairs, and Hollywood was basically divided up.

The conservatives had no choice, and Murdoch and Redstone were different. He was an Australian immigrant, except for Jews and outsiders, so when he handed over the olive branch, they chose to take over.

And this is what Adrian mentioned. He and Claude are both native Americans. The family traced back to the top and had nothing to do with the Jews. In the eyes of some people, this is an absolute person, and the rise and growth of AC Media is just an opportunity.

Their media group was able to grow so smoothly, which was also one of the important factors beyond Adrian's amazing foresight and Claude's excellent operating methods.

Adrian, who has been a human being for two lives, sees this better than anyone else, so he thanks himself for his luck more than once. As long as he doesn't get confused and fights against mainstream society, are you still worried about News Corp?

Conservatives can use Murdoch more unscrupulously, driving him to compete with groups such as Viacom and Disney, while AC Media stands on the side and get along with the best.

Who made Murdoch a Jew and an Australian immigrant, and married a Chinese wife from mainland China.

This is a big problem. Even if it is secretly found out that this woman has nothing to do with the mainland officials and is completely based on her own abilities, it is still a big problem.

As we all know, in the United States and the West, although Chinese are hardworking and wealthy, their political status is always low. It is stupid to say that Chinese are not keen on politics. In their previous lives, they are talking about politics everywhere. The lively election scenes in Taiwan are enough to illustrate some problems. So why are Chinese people always not in the West’s political status?

Before the 1950s, fear of politics and not wanting to participate and just wanting to make money did account for a big factor, but after that, they had to face a problem: How do you prove that you are loyal to the United States?

This is the important reason why Chinese people cannot fight for their political rights unscrupulously like black people, Latinos, and Arabs. Behind them is always a country that the United States attaches importance to and is vigilant about, and they want to fight for their political rights?

Let’s give up or even despise our ancestors first.

For example, if a very influential Chinese celebrity is also very strong in the All-American Chinese Federation, is very friendly to China, and has almost never attacked China.

If one day he strongly opposes some measures of the government, and even publicly expresses his opinion at a large rally and supports his opponents, then it won’t take long before the FBI or CIA will start investigating him, the tax bureau will come to check the accounts every few days, and the media will never give up until his private life is over. Even if nothing is wrong, it will create problems, and then...

This is not alarmist. Anti-discrimination activities seem to have been very prosperous, but there has never been a lack of private discrimination, not to mention that it also involves national interests.

If Ms. Deng made some speeches, Murdoch might get more support in the United States, but China... You should know that Murdoch married her largely for the Chinese market.

Of course, this is likely to be a swing strategy adopted by Murdoch, and it turns out that using the Sino-US honeymoon period before something has achieved considerable results. Unfortunately, with AC Media now, it will eventually be Adrian and Crowder who will get more benefits from riding the fence.

What's more, Adrian still holds a card in his hand. One card that can only make News Group suffer a big loss in the hands of others, but in AC Media's hands, it can shake their foundation.

In short, you don’t need to care too much. Just keep an eye on them. You should know that the competitiveness of the media group cannot be achieved by relying on the government alone.

Adrian shrugged, "24" has a pretty good rating.

The "24" he mentioned is naturally the well-known anti-terrorism TV series. As early as last year, he asked Universal to buy the TV series in front of Fox. At that time, no one knew that such a big thing would happen this year, so Fox did not compete with Universal.

After buying it, it was not broadcasted. It was not until after 9/11 that the people had experienced pain and healing, and it was broadcasted one day not long ago in mid-October.

Although the film industry suffered a lot because of 911, TV series have suffered minimal impact because every family has a TV set. In addition, it just caters to the people's mentality of wanting to eliminate terrorists. Moreover, the way in which an episode shows the stories that happened in an hour not only makes the plot very compact and novel, so it has tens of millions of viewers as soon as it was broadcast. Many TV practitioners can't help but sigh in their hearts, and ABC has another strong new drama.

Of course, the starring actor is still Kiefer Sutherland, because Adrian started early, Julia did not get engaged to him, and she did not make a farce of escaping marriage, but the actors of her wife and daughter have changed.

Given that the Pacific immediately called to mourn after receiving the news of 9/11 and expressed its full support for the US's anti-terrorism operation, the second honeymoon period between China and the United States is coming again, so Bao Xiaoqiang's wife has become Asian and his daughter has become mixed-race.

So, Hu Kaili, who also played the leading role in "Double-Faced Female Agent", starred in his wife, and his daughter, although the original version has become Adrian's personal flight attendant, this version is still from Canada, and was born in Vancouver.

She should have become a teen idol in Warner's "Superman" but now she is on the crew of "24" because of Adrian.

Pure, cute, yet lively, and her kung fu in bed was good. When Adrian came back from London during the summer vacation and was preparing for 9/11, he hooked his fingers a little, and she took the initiative to take off her clothes and lay on the bed.

The young girl was quite enthusiastic, which made Adrian feel good and also paid more attention to it.

Okay, let’s talk about the topic. This is not the UK, and it’s not the turn of News Group to monopolize the media, nor is it China. The government’s interference is not that strong, so it depends on strength after all.

If AC Media has such an abnormal as Adrian, will Fox surpass it? What's more, AC Media has huge resources. In the past life, CNN could not compete with Fox News and Warner did not have a large enough TV network.

That's what I think, Crow.Adrian finally concluded that, and I still have many non-movie and television production ideas that have not yet been realized.

Yeah?Claude raised his eyebrows, "Do you know what I'm thinking, Ed, every time you say this, I always feel like I'm seeing a lot of profits coming towards me."

You're right, Crow, but it's not now.Adrian said, laughing with his best friend.

This is the only thing we have to say about the future plan. Anyway, Adrian has always decided on the general direction and Claude is responsible for implementing it. Adrian is paying attention to the company's trends through Ivanka at any time. If there is any problem, Claude will also exchange opinions with him first.

So, Adrian then returned to the crew of The Matrix and started filming again.

In fact, although production was suspended due to the influence of 911, it had resumed work in early October. However, Adrian was still busy with charity funds at that time, so his efficiency was still not high.

However, now charity funds have started to get on track. As long as you stick to this completely transparent approach, there will be no major problems. Adrian's name as a great philanthropist and patriot has also resounded throughout the United States and even the world, so naturally it will speed up its efficiency.

You know, because of the 9/11 incident, many things were postponed, such as Avril's birthday was extremely deserted, and no one held a party at that time, so in the end, it was just the Stewart family, Adrian and Avril's good friends, who chatted for a night at the Stewart house, told some jokes and prayed for the victims, and it was over.

Although Adrian planned a lot of things around 911, he forgot to make these production backup plans, but this is normal. No matter how powerful he is, he cannot be omniscient and omnipotent.

If you postpone it, postpone it. Anyway, it is not out of his control, isn't it?

So instead of thinking about this, it is better to solve the current trouble first. After the action scene is finished, it is finally the turn of the literary scene, and the meeting between Neo, Trinity, Morpheus and the French is the highlight of the second literary scene.

This is the most flattering time in my life, and I actually want to play against the great Mr. Adrian Cowell!

Reeves shouted in a very exaggerated tone, his facial expressions not as dull as they were in front of the camera.

Although he wanted to kill him with his eyes, Adrian just glared at him, then glanced at Monica and Sophie who were snickering, and finally sighed, explained the situation to the deputy director, and walked towards the dressing room with a feeling of death.
