King of Hollywood

Chapter 106 Advantages

\u003e From mid-September to early October, Americans finally came out of their grief. This time the blow was unprecedented. The iconic towers on the two floors of the World Trade Center will never exist, even if they are reopened in the future The establishment has nothing to do with the original two buildings. Such a blow has severely damaged the confidence of the Americans.

Therefore, when the government claimed that the terrorist incident was caused by an organization of a guy whose name is related to lamps, and the organization admitted this, the anger of the people all over the United States was directed at them, and the approval rating of the Bush administration The rise has reached an unimaginable level, and it is completely different from when he was elected at the beginning of the year, and the decision to send troops was passed without difficulty.

But also because of the public's anger, the entertainment industry, especially the film industry, has suffered a lot in the past month or so. Many of the films scheduled for the end of the summer vacation and trying to make a fortune are big. Return in defeat. In short, by the end of September, the box office in North America was extremely sluggish, and it didn't get better until October, but it will take some time to fully recover, which is why Adrian made "She Is My Everything" The reason for putting it at the end of October.

However, it is not that there have been some attention-grabbing events in the entertainment industry. The two most notable ones are the first. After it was sung on the Internet, it immediately became a hit song on the radio, and the number of requests was much higher than other songs commemorating 9/11 in the same period, even if it was released by Michael Jackson later... it was not as good.

Both of them were already popular idols, but after performing this song, their popularity suddenly increased a lot. Especially Christina, the lead singer, performed perfectly with her flexible voice, which completely surpassed Britney and won the favor of quite a few people. However, the fans of the two had to have another big quarrel on the Internet.

At the same time, fans may not notice it, but every musician will not ignore it. In the column of songwriters, in addition to two well-known lyricists, there is Adrian's name. Now, many things are certain, such as the rumor that he participated in many of Britney's excellent songs, and there is no doubt that the aura on Adrian's head will increase again.

But this is not the biggest increase. The aura of the Patriots is now more noticeable than any other. This is also the most eye-catching and most concerned event in the entertainment industry between September and October. The chairman of the board of directors of the media, who is also the famous Hollywood miracle director Adrian Cowell, set up a brand new foundation to help the families of the victims of 9/11 with 100 million US dollars in his own name!

The operation of the foundation is very transparent, and he said that he invited people from Congress and the government to participate in the supervision, and he really invited them to form a supervision committee. Every expenditure is recorded in detail and put on the Internet for people to check, even including How much toilet paper is used in the bathroom is included. Comparing the Red Cross Society with its scandals and many charitable funds that have also caused problems, this fund is developing at a rapid pace. After the investigation, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and others also announced that they All donations will be handed over to the foundation. It has further promoted the development, and countless people have also invested their donations.

Of course, although it will take time for Adrian's 100 million donations to arrive, it is still the largest personal donation that no one can surpass. The reputation of a patriot and a great philanthropist is also spread all over the world.

"You don't call me such a showy thing, you really disappoint me, Ed!" In the media office, Claude waved a newspaper and shouted "dissatisfied".

"Of course I can only do such a showy thing." Adrian, who was lazily leaning on the sofa, shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

next second. Both of them laughed. The heads of media groups seldom appear in the spotlight. Of course, it is because they control the media, and it is also one of the reasons why they are not suitable for too much exposure. To put it bluntly, the media is an industry that manipulates people's hearts, and the overexposure of the head can easily give opponents an opportunity. So whether it is Redstone or Murdoch, there are far fewer news about them in the entertainment media than in the financial media.

But the media is different. Adrian still has the identity of a famous director, and he has been wandering in front of the stage and behind the scenes. As long as the reporters only pay attention to the side of being a director, he is still very magnanimous. Moreover, Claude is responsible for the specific operational affairs. Even if someone wants to do something about it, they have to alienate them first—but is this possible?

so. Their combination is more advantageous. The more radiant Adrian is, the more positive it will be to the media's propaganda. As long as Claude keeps a low profile, what the two of them are saying now is just a joke.

"You're 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 his mind. Topic: "Did you know, there is news that the Bush administration is preparing a bill that authorizes government departments to search all kinds of records of individuals and companies at will, and it will be promulgated in the second half of the month."

Adrian knew what he wanted to say at the beginning, but it is enough to know this kind of thing well, there is no need to say it, the connection between Wall Street and Capitol Hill has been so close that it has been separated for more than two hundred years since the founding of the United States , so he went on with his topic: "It's normal, if something like this happens, for a long time to come, maybe years or decades, the issue of homeland security will be given top priority by the government , this bill is just the beginning. Don't worry about it, Crowe, it may affect ordinary people a lot, but it's just a little trouble for us."

"Yes, I know, there are some things..." Claude shook his head, "However, the Bush administration or the conservatives need a media group that is completely swayed to them. Guess who they will choose."

"There is no need to guess," Adrian laughed. "Murdoch has declared himself a conservative more than once in public, and we have suppressed him for so long. The Republican Party only needs to reveal his tone, and he promises to post it immediately." .”

"You're not worried at all." Claude raised his eyebrows.

"There's nothing to worry about." Adrian spread his hands, "This is not the UK. The total fall to the Republican Party just gives him an extra layer of protection, and our advantages are more than his."

News Corporation's soaring into the sky in the new century is not unrelated to Murdoch's use of the opportunity of 9/11 to cling to the thigh of the Bush administration or the Republican Party. It just so happened that the Republican Party also needed such a comprehensive and complete media group that turned to itself, so they hit it off. With their support and various operational strategies, News Corporation may suffer losses in other aspects, but Fox News and movies , TV have been developed by leaps and bounds.

But it's different now. Out of thin air media has advantages over News Corporation in every aspect. Of course, Adrian and Claude will not completely fall to the Republican Party, even if Uncle Anderson supports the Republican Party, but no matter which country needs some media to issue neutral Or a seemingly neutral voice, otherwise how can it manipulate people's hearts?

In the previous life, whether it was Murdoch, Redstone, or Eisner, they were all Jews. Although Sony has invited Americans to serve, it has always been the Japanese who dominate the affairs, and Hollywood is basically divided up. Conservatives have no choice. In addition, Murdoch is different from Redstone and others. He is an Australian immigrant, except for Jews, so when he handed over the olive branch, they chose to take over.

And this is what Adrian said about the advantage. He and Claude are both native-born Americans, and their family history has nothing to do with Jews. In the eyes of some people, this is their own people, and the rise and growth of the media is also a coincidence. opportunity. Their media group can develop so smoothly, in addition to Adrian's amazing foresight and Claude's excellent operation methods. This is also one of the important factors.

Adrian, who has been a man for two lives, sees this point better than anyone else, so he thanked himself for his luck more than once. As long as he doesn't get dizzy and confront the mainstream society, is he still worried about News Corporation?

Conservatives can use Murdoch even more unscrupulously, driving him to compete with Viacom, Disney and other groups, while the media is on the sidelines. Who made Murdoch both 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 mainland officials. It is still a big problem to rely entirely on one's own ability to rise to the top.

As we all know, in the United States and in the West, although the Chinese are hardworking and wealthy, their political status has always been low. It is stupid to say that Chinese people are not interested in politics. In the previous life, they went to any entertainment venue and talked about politics everywhere. The lively election scenes in Taiwan are enough to explain some problems. Then why Chinese people have always had a low political status in the West. Woolen cloth?

Before the 1950s, fear of politics and not wanting to participate and just wanting to make money did play a large role, but after that, they had to face a problem: You say you are loyal to the United States, how do you prove it?

This is an important reason why the Chinese cannot fight for their political rights unscrupulously like blacks, Latinos, and Arabs. Behind them is a country that has always been valued and vigilant by the United States, wanting to fight for their own political rights? Let's give up or even cast aside our ancestors first.

For example, if a very influential Chinese celebrity is also very prominent in the United Chinese American Federation, he is very friendly to China and has almost never attacked China. If one day he strongly opposes a certain measure of the government, and even does not hesitate to publicly express his position in a large rally and support the opponents of the government, then it will not be long before A will start investigating him, and the tax bureau will come every day. Checking the accounts, the media will never give up until they turn his private life upside down, even if everything is fine, it will create problems, and then...

This is not alarmist talk. Anti-discrimination activities seem to have been booming, but private discrimination has never been burned, let alone national interests.

If Ms. Deng makes some speeches, Murdoch may get more support in the United States, but China...you know, Murdoch married her largely for the Chinese market.

Of course, this is likely to be a swaying strategy adopted by Murdoch, and it turns out that using the honeymoon period between China and the United States before a certain event, this strategy has achieved considerable results. It will be Adrian and Claude who will benefit more. What's more, Adrian still holds a card in his hand. In the hands of others, it can only make News Corporation suffer a lot, but in the hands of the media, it can shake their foundation.

"In short, you don't need to pay too much attention to them. Just keep an eye on them. You must know that the competitiveness of media groups cannot depend on the government alone," Adrian shrugged. "The ratings of "24" are quite good."

The "24" in his mouth is naturally the well-known anti-terrorism TV series. As early as last year, he let Universal sell the TV series ahead of Fox. At that time, no one knew that such a big thing would happen this year, so Fox Nor does it compete with Universal. It hasn't been played since I bought it. It was not until after 9/11 that the people experienced pain and healing that it was broadcast on a day in mid-October not long ago.

Although the film industry suffered a lot due to 9/11, the TV dramas were slightly affected because every family had a TV. In addition, it just catered to the public's mentality of wanting to eliminate terrorists, and one episode showed the story that happened in one hour. The method not only makes the plot very compact but also very novel, so it has tens of millions of ratings just after it was broadcast, and many TV practitioners can't help but sigh in their hearts, and there is another strong new drama.

Of course, the starring role is still Kiefer Sutherland. Because Adrian started early, Julia did not get engaged to him and did not have a farce of running away from marriage, but the actors of his wife and daughter have changed. In view of the fact that the Pacific side immediately called condolences after receiving the news of 911 and expressed full support for the United States' anti-terrorist actions, so 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 also become an Asian. turned into a mixed race.

Therefore, Hu Kaili, who also played the leading role in "Double-Faced Female Agent", starred as his wife, and his daughter. Although the original version has become Adrian's personal stewardess, but this version is still from Canada, was born in Vancouver Kerstin Kreuk. She was supposed to become a teen idol in Warner Bros.' Smallville, but now she's on the set of 24 because of Adrian.

Pure, cute and lively, and good in bed, Adrian returns from his summer vacation in London and prepares for 9/11. After hooking her fingers a little, she took off her clothes and lay down on the bed. The young girl's enthusiasm gave Adrian a good refreshment, and he also got better attention by the way.

Okay, let's get back to the topic, this is not the UK, and it's not yet the turn of the News Corporation to monopolize the media, nor is it China. The government's interference is not that great, so in the end it still depends on strength. And the media has a pervert like Adrian, so how can it let Fox surpass, not to mention the media has huge resources. In the past life, the reason why CNN can't compete with Fox News. One of the reasons is that Warner does not have a large enough TV network.

"That's how I see it, Crowe," Adrian concluded, "and I have a lot of non-film and TV ideas that I haven't realized yet."

"Really?" Claude raised his eyebrows, "Do you know what I'm thinking, Ed, every time you say this, I always feel that I seem to see a lot of profits coming."

"You're right, Crowe, but not now." Adrian said, laughing with his buddies.

That’s all for the time being about the future plan. Anyway, Adrian has always decided on the general direction and Claude is responsible for the implementation, and Adrian keeps an eye on the company’s trends through Ivanka at any time. If there is any problem, Claude will first Find him for an exchange of ideas. So, Adrian then returned to the "Matrix" crew and started filming again.

In fact, although production was suspended due to the impact of 9/11, work resumed at the beginning of October. However, Adrian was still busy with charitable funds at that time, so the efficiency was not high. But now that the charitable fund is initially on the right track, as long as this completely transparent method is adhered to, there will be no major problems, and the name of Adrian's great philanthropist and patriot has also resounded throughout the United States and even the world, so naturally It is about to speed up the efficiency.

You know, because of the 911 incident, many things were postponed. For example, Avril Lavigne's birthday was unusually deserted. At that time, no one held a party, so in the end it was just the Stewart family, Adrian and a few good friends of Avril Lavigne. After chatting for a while at Stewart's house, it was over after some jokes and prayers for the victims.

Although Adrian planned a lot of things around 911, he forgot to make a backup plan for these things, but this is also normal, no matter how powerful he is, he cannot be omniscient. Postpone it, it's not out of his control anyway, is it? So instead of thinking about this, it is better to solve the current troubles first. After the action scenes are filmed, it will finally be the turn of the literary drama, and the meeting between Neo, Trinity, Murphys and the Frenchman is the highlight of the second literary drama.

"This is the most flattering moment in my life. I actually want to play against the great Mr. Adrian Cowell!" Reeves exclaimed in a very exaggerated tone, and his facial expression did not want to be so dull in front of the camera. .

Although he really wanted to kill him with his eyes, Adrian just glared at him, and then at Monica and Sophie, who were snickering, finally sighed, and after explaining the situation to the assistant director, he regarded death as home. Walk to the powder room. (to be continued...Q\u003c/p\u003e
