King of Hollywood

Chapter 163 So You Won?

Regardless of whether the popularity of American dramas in China in the previous life was accidental or inevitable, that model is very good, especially for expanding the user base. User groups are very important to any business. They are like fans of actors and singers. The more loyal you are, the easier it is to make money from them.

To give the simplest example, the reason why Mahuateng was criticized by countless people in the previous life but still lived a very healthy life, apart from a lot of reasons, the most important point is that it has a large user base. Even if the user is disgusted by his various behaviors without limits—for example, he can only copy others but others cannot copy himself, or he has high profits but still enjoys state subsidies—but all the friends on the Internet are disgusted. They all use QQ, even if they switch to other instant messaging software, it will be useless, so in the end, they can only recognize it by pinching their noses.

Probably because of seeing this, Mahuateng has been severely abused in terms of copyright, but instead clings to the newly developed instant messaging software called YY, and the mainland government has never Foreign capital is allowed to control its own media tools, so it has given some support. Depending on the situation, maybe he can make a comeback.

That's okay, Adrian's package plan for Huayi also includes an operation plan for instant messaging software, either to develop a new one or to move Q to be released by a Chinese company. This is also a rule, just like Western foreign magazines that want to be published in China must be published by Chinese companies, not operated by the magazine itself. As long as the shelf is set up, some tricks that I still remember from the painful news of the previous life will be imitated. Even if you can't occupy the big head in the future, you should have a place,

Here we will talk about the methods of attracting users in the new century, which are not complicated, one is easy to use, and the other is free. Not to mention easy to use, it can attract users to use it for the first time. In the previous life, Q made many mistakes and added many functions, but it turned out to be annoying to users. Of course, it's easy to learn and difficult to master. Moreover, it is necessary to frequently launch some Xinhua applications to keep users fresh, which is what Apple does quite well.

But the most important thing is free, free and sharing on the Internet will soon destroy the traditional recording industry, and will also destroy traditional paper media in the future, even in the United States, where the framework is fixed by countless laws, and if you catch it, you will be punished severely , There are still countless people secretly downloading songs on the Internet.

Of course, it can easily be self-defeating if done poorly. For example, although Microsoft has occupied the Asian market by relying on it, very few of them can be converted into profits. Want to force fees? The violent reaction of hundreds of millions of users is not something they can afford. Although they can use various means to earn back profits from the surrounding areas, they are not good-looking after all. In this regard, they are not as good as Apple, which takes the high-end route.

This is why Adrian is in a hurry to come up with a package plan. Slow down a little bit, and various copycat programs and TV series will be released one after another. It's not that copycats are bad. Most countries cannot do without copycats and various things from developed countries when they develop. Adrian remembers an example about America, probably in the 19th century. When Dickens visited the United States, he was surprised to see that his works were being sold in the streets and alleys of the United States, and he was not given a cent of royalties. Paying royalties is an insult to him.

This face is really thick enough, and China is the same now. Even if you join, the interests that should be protected will never sit idly by. Even if Adrian has already applied for a lot of copyrights in the mainland through various relationships, it would be troublesome for the other party to have a cheeky copycat, so instead of letting others copy the copycat, it is better to authorize them at a low price, although the direct profit is not much, But it can occupy this market and regulate it.

As for the agent, for example, the agents of many actors in mainland China are their family members or relatives and friends. This is normal, and so is the United States. However, most of these agents are only in charge of the stars' life and various communications, and the specific affairs arrangements are made by people who have received professional training. But here, they just point fingers at things they are not familiar with, and there is no professional team to provide advice, so it is inevitable that various scandals will break out.

If it can be regulated and there are professionals to guide, some shitty things should be less, and Adrian's brokerage company can also occupy a place here by the way. The same is true for others. If Guangshanzhai does not innovate, it will always follow other people's buttocks. As long as it can teach them some ideas, it is a good thing.

Of course, like the package plan, the control of these companies will not be in the hands of the media, but it doesn't matter, it is also the same as the package plan, all company media must take shares, but they are not major shareholders. In this way, the low-key accumulation of water into abyss and accumulation of sand into a tower will inevitably have a huge influence in the end.

"Is there anything else that can gain more influence than helping them establish a brand-new and standardized entertainment industry? And the groups that benefit from it will also be tied to us. Even if the Chinese government thinks it's inappropriate, as long as it doesn't touch Their bottom line can only be recognized by pinching their noses, Murdoch's approach is the most stupid." Adrian persuaded Claude in this way at the beginning, which is why the Wang Brothers will take a gamble.

Back to the topic of TV dramas, the first item in the package is reality shows and TV dramas, not to mention the former, the relationship between Huayi and Mango TV is very good, and with the memories of previous lives, I entrusted "Chinese Idol" to them for hype It is perfectly possible. As for the latter, due to various reasons, there is currently no condition to copy the previous life, but it does not mean that there is no room for manipulation.

If there are no conditions, we can create conditions. There is not only one way to promote American dramas. For example, using a native Chinese actor to play a relatively important role in the drama is something to be proud of for Chinese people who are eager to gain international recognition. Thing, it would be even more exciting if the show also picked up a few Emmys.

However, TV shows must be chosen carefully. Otherwise, "Garrison Expendables" is a lesson from the past. Although there have not been many American dramas introduced in the past ten years, they are basically family-friendly TV dramas like "Everybody Loves Raymond". "was also abandoned because there were too many dirty jokes. But this kind of TV series in China is obviously inferior to the same type of local TV series, and now it is not the China when "Growing Pains" was broadcast.

However, suspense, horror, crime and other types of TV dramas may fail to pass the censorship due to various reasons. "Prison Break" is completely in the light of the Internet, so after thinking about it, only science fiction dramas are suitable, with fast rhythm and suspense. It's not sleepy, and "The Man from the Atlantic" and "Knight Rider", which were the first to land in China and became very popular, are both science fiction dramas.

It just so happened that Universal had the copyright of a sci-fi drama. And in Adrian's memory, the word-of-mouth is also very good, and there happens to be an Asian actress with a heavy role, but the religious meaning is a bit strong, and there are many scenes of selling meat. It doesn't matter, as long as you tell me during the production, and then re-edit it when handing it over to the Chinese side. Anyway, considering that the broadcasting methods of China and the United States are different, it is necessary to extend the series appropriately.

That being the case. Why can't you show the woman you like? This is not to say that Adrian wants to put Gao Yuanyuan in his favorites, but it is rare to find half of a not-so-bad white lotus root in the muddy pond. good. Frankly speaking, mainland actresses who became popular in the first three or four years of the 21st century still have some characteristics and personalities. Unlike a few years later, when we are getting closer and closer to unification, there is only hype left, and the hype is very low.

So Adrian gave her this opportunity. As for the future, it depends on her performance. If you know your feelings and tastes, although the Chinese who can make their mark in Hollywood are good, it’s not a problem to win another one, and it can also play the role of a thousand dollars to buy a horse bone, just like Yukie. Acting is not a big problem, as I said before. This can be trained and learned. Even if the current top actresses in mainland China go to Hollywood, they will not be able to play without guidance and support.

Although Gao Yuanyuan did not give a definite answer in the end, she just said that she needed to discuss it with her parents and her agent, but when she was in bed that night, her body betrayed her heart completely, and the conflicting struggle The feeling of warmly catering again made Adrian enjoy it very much, and even used a few poses with a little shame that he hadn't used before.

Western slang says. The bottom of a woman is a shortcut to the soul. In Adrian's understanding, this does not mean that women will depend on you if you have more sex and more fun. Although there are indeed women who completely rely on the bottom to conquer women, it is definitely not universal Phenomenon. He understood this sentence in this way, when a woman is on the bed, when they are ruled by physical pleasure, her heart is defenseless, whether she loves you, hates you, contradicts, submits, or doubts, all are completely different. It is completely reflected in the body, as long as you study carefully, you can easily learn their true thoughts from it.

The second trip to China has come to an end for the time being. Although I still have some regrets, some ideas have not been realized, but I am not in a hurry, so Adrian returned to Los Angeles, and many things are still waiting to be dealt with, such as appeasing Ivanka. During the few days in mainland China, I spent almost every day with Gao Yuanyuan, and Ivanka only had work communication, even though she did have a job there, and she separated public affairs from private affairs very much. is impossible.

In fact, after the plane took off, she sat in front of him, half teasing and half teasing: "Have fun?"

This slightly stingy look made Adrian laugh for a while, and then he hugged her to his lap to comfort him. If it wasn't for Ellie, Elisa, and Geli who were beside him, maybe Ivan would The law was rectified on the spot.

In addition, there is Julia who needs to be appeased. She has been pregnant for 6 months now, and her belly is already very obvious. Unlike Kate, Monica, Sophie, Jessica and Blanchett, who were either relatively unknown when they were pregnant or easily diverted the attention of reporters, Julia has always been America's sweetheart. The love quintet made her a representative of American women, and it has only been more than a year since she won the Oscar. It is still too early to pass the limelight, and she is always the target of reporters no matter where she is.

In this case, it is not easy to keep it secret, and the photos were taken before when the lower abdomen was slightly protruding. Fortunately, the reporter did not associate it with pregnancy at that time. Just teasing in the report, America's sweetheart is now full of belly fat, but this is enough to sound the alarm for Adrian and Julia.

Although Adrian doesn't mind, once the gossip scandal involves him, most reporters still know what can be reported and what cannot be reported. But in this way, the pressure will all go to Julia. No star will like those reporters who only stare at gossip. Julia is no exception, and she does not intend to bear such pressure. Naturally, it was kept secret.

It's just that at the beginning she was able to attend various events, but after her stomach gradually bulged, it was difficult to appear in public, but she could still play around, as long as she was careful with reporters. But in the back, her belly was too big to move around at will, and she spent most of her time in a secret villa, and Adrian took good care of her as always. But after all, you can't be there all the time, and it's inevitable to feel bored.

Regarding this, Adrian didn't have a good solution. Finally, after thinking about it, he had to simply send her to the island that was sold near Hawaii to recuperate. Except for the manors in the UK, Adrian has bought most real estate around the world in the past two years. For example, a hilltop manor in France in the Riviera area, or a luxury villa on St. Barth Island in the Caribbean Sea, and a small island near Hawaii. Julia was not dug deep by reporters when her belly was slightly raised. When traveling around the world, she took turns living in these mansions. This is also one of the reasons.

"So. From now on, I will live here honestly. If I feel bored, go out to sea, or go to Honolulu or Hilo. Of course, even though this is Hawaii, you must be careful." Villa on the island middle. Adrian comforted the pregnant Julia, "Although I can't be by your side every day, Kate can."

As he spoke, he gave Zeta Jones a look at Zeta Jones who came with him.

"That's right, I will always be with you, Julie, at least until the premiere of "Chicago"." Zeta Jones, who was sitting next to her, immediately understood.

"It's so depressing," murmured Julia, who was wearing baggy clothes and had a puffy stomach.

"Okay, let me hear, is the little guy kicking mother's belly again?" Adrian knew how to change the subject. As he spoke, he was about to squat down and put his ears on her belly.

"Don't think about it, I won't let you hear it!" Julia immediately turned around and hummed, like a little woman, and then stroked her belly with a loving expression: "I'm sleeping."

Adrian smiled, and then looked at Zeta Jones. Although she was peeling the avocado seriously, her eyes glanced at Julia's belly from time to time.

"Do you want one too?" That night, after a carefree expedition on the bed, Adrian asked Zeta Jones's well-maintained carcass softly in her ear.

Zeta-Jones didn't answer right away. He just buried his head in his arms and panted continuously. After being caressed and kissed for a while, he opened his mouth in confusion: "I don't know."

Adrian didn't say anything more, knowing what she was hesitating, it's normal, women are often influenced by emotions, even if they know that there are not many paths to choose from, they still can't help but have fantasies, especially in the this time. And she is also a smart woman. If Adrian hadn't hooked her with a deal right away, it would be hard to say whether the "once" thing would happen again. Now...the deal hasn't been completed yet.

"How about one more time?" He kissed her lips, then thought of something with a little smirk, "Or we go to Julie's room? She must be lonely by herself."

Every woman must be tasted by him after pregnancy, how could Julia be an exception? In fact, I have tasted it before, but Adrian misses Monica and Sophie's big belly. It should be the most comfortable one, so I want to take Zeta Jones to find it together. feeling of time.

The girl hesitated for a moment, then raised her leg and clamped it around his waist, showing her signature charming smile: "It's too late now, Julie must be asleep. If you want to, you can postpone going back for a day."

Very smart isn't it? It not only satisfied Adrian's request, but also made a good impression in front of Julia because he kept him more - even though they are not separated from each other in bed now. It's a pity that this sentence can be regarded as exposing the true thoughts in her subconscious mind, want to leave? That is already impossible.

Not to mention this, after returning from Hawaii, Halloween is just around the corner, and after that, there will be Thanksgiving and Christmas. Many movies will be ready to be released, but before that, Adrian has to go to school to fulfill his father's duties, because , Lily beat up a kid at school.

"...Then, Miss Cowell pushed Mr. Nelson to the ground and kicked him. Mr. Nelson burst into tears immediately. That's basically it." In the principal's office, sitting behind the desk Yes, Principal Anthony Miller, who is already in his fifties, finally finished the whole story.

Adrian, who was sitting on the chair, kept frowning, until now he turned his head to look at his daughter: "So you won?"

"Of course!" Lily spread her hands with a relaxed expression.

"Ahem, Mr. Kewell!" Principal Miller coughed dryly.

"Okay, principal," Adrian smiled at him, and then asked his daughter, "Do you think Mr. Principal is telling the truth?"

"Yes, Dad, except for one thing. Before this, Andy Nelson had maliciously ridiculed and harassed my friend Vivienne Reed several times. Vivienne had warned him several times, and I reminded him several times. And suggested that Ms. Waltz pay attention to him a little bit, but not only did he not make any changes, but he became more and more outrageous, and even glued Vivienne's book, so I taught him a lesson!" Lily sat up straight and showed seriousness His expression is like that of a little adult, very elegant. (to be continued..)
