- "As expected of Rupert Murdoch, I thought he would hesitate for a while, but I didn't expect that he agreed immediately." Claude sighed after coming out of the club.
"Because he has no better choice. As an old fox, he knows very well what is more beneficial to him. When it comes to making prompt decisions, we are indeed not as good as them, old guys who have worked hard for decades," Adrian shrugged , "But anyway, our goal was achieved."
The so-called conspiracy, to put it simply, means that you have to jump into it even if you know there is a pit ahead. Adrian and Claude did not want any substantive compensation from News Corporation, and even said that they could help them get through the current difficulties as long as Murdoch stepped down. It seemed that they were just trying to gain a breath, but in fact it was not. That's what happened.
Once Murdoch leaves his current position, even though he can still firmly control the News Corp. board of directors through his son, it will be impossible to use his fingers as before. Moreover, there are constant disputes within the Murdoch family. Without the suppression of old Murdoch, there will inevitably be some fights between the children. Maybe the ex-wife who cares about her children will also join in secretly. Just dealing with these will cost a lot of money. He has a lot of energy.
Under this circumstance, the pace of News Corporation's operation will inevitably slow down, and the problems this will cause have been explained by Adrian and Claude's previous experiences of being calculated. Therefore, News Corporation will inevitably adopt a more conservative strategy in the future and move forward with a mentality of not seeking merit but seeking no faults for a long time. This is undoubtedly a good opportunity for other media groups, so Redstone and others There was almost no talk after that.
Murdoch will definitely not be willing to give in, but the problem is that this is already his best choice. Wall Street will indeed not watch News Corporation decline. The reason why they participated in the previous suppression of ac media and are now participating in the suppression News Corporation's actions are mainly because they don't want to see an overly powerful media group. Just like Adrian's Hollywood strategy. As for the trees in the forest, it would be fine if they only sprouted some treetops, but if they sprouted too much, they would not be caught by the strong wind.
Both ac Media and News Corporation have this ability, but News Corporation has always been an outsider, and ac Media is too closed, so when there is an opportunity to suppress them, Wall Street does not hesitate to take action. In fact. In another time and space, the reason why News Corporation's eavesdropping scandal escalated to that extent has something to do with these masterminds behind the scenes.
In short, Wall Street may not let News Corporation decline or even collapse, but it is happy to drive Murdoch out, and Adrian and Claude also put on a "If you don't agree, I will drive you out." attitude, then it is natural to choose the lesser of two evils in the end.
??Besides, it¡¯s not that he can¡¯t stand up. The subtext of the so-called waiting for a period of time and then stepping down gracefully is the subtext. Give him time to pave the way. Also, get used to the work behind the scenes. Maybe it will play an unexpected role in the future. Adrian and Claude didn't really want to fight to the death with News Corp. That would only benefit others. On the one hand, Murdoch's resignation gave AC Media plenty of time, and on the other hand, it was really good in terms of face.
Therefore, Murdoch, who had been thinking about it for a long time before coming here, carefully considered this situation and finally agreed in person.
"No matter what, we won, more thoroughly than Murdoch." Adrian smiled and said again.
"That's right, winning more thoroughly." Claude gave him a complicated look.
All right. He had anticipated the subprime mortgage crisis again, and was aware of Madoff's fraud case and used it so skillfully. Even when he arranged for people to go to the "News of the World", he thought it was just a casual move But so what? ?
"You are right, Ed," Claude stretched out his fist, "As long as we are close, no one can be our enemy."
Adrian laughed and touched him with his fist: "Of course, we are the best partners and the best brothers."
The two laughed without any barriers, walked down the steps and walked to the club's parking lot.
"By the way, that reporter, what are you going to do?"
"In two weeks, people will find the wreckage of his car under the cliff by the sea. By then, all kinds of conspiracy theories will pop up one after another, and then - Northern Europe is a good place to retire."
"Okay, you've thought about ithow about we go have a drink now?"
"UmSorry, Crow, I have a date this afternoon."
"Oh, hell, who is it this time?"
¡°Ashley Greene, like Brooklyn Decker, has a major role in the upcoming Twilight Saga, a very tasty little girl. "
"Wait a minute, weren't you with that so-called socialite before? What's her nameOlivia? Wilde? Is that her name?"
"It's Olivia Palermo. Although they are both called Olivia, their last names are different. Didn't someone hype that Olivia Palermo is the prototype of Blair in "Gossip Girl"? In that case , of course I have to call her over to have a look. In short, it¡¯s not bad, her temperament is indeed better than Leighton, but her figure is slightly worse, more like a younger version of Julia. Of course, I did have sex with Austria I dated Livia Wilde, she was as hot as the little fox, but it's a pity"
¡°Okay, okay, don¡¯t tell me about your love-hunting history in front of me.¡±
"Ha ha."
The subprime mortgage crisis is still spreading, mortgage companies continue to go bankrupt, and the financial market is in chaos. However, there are industries that are going against the trend, such as movies and media. When the financial crisis comes, people will always hide in movie theaters and relax themselves away from troubles through various movies. Even if News Corporation is plagued by the wiretapping scandal, Fox Pictures is still making good profits.
Therefore, Adrian continues his legend, especially after 2007, when the Oscar nominations were announced in early 2008, countless people were once again depressed or angry.
Although he was not nominated for many awards this time, including the two most important awards of Best Picture and Best Director, his nominations for Best Actress and Best Foreign Language Film still attracted enough hatred. Yes, at the end of December 2007, Adrian Cowell, a miracle director or super director who took a break for more than a year, launched his new work, a movie about the Japanese funeral industry.
Most of the dialogue is in Japanese, with only a few moments in English, and then there is Japanese funding. In addition, the response was very good, so it was easily nominated for the best foreign language film. Suddenly, many people were not calm again. A writer from Variety magazine even wrote in a joking tone in his online column: Could it be that Director Miracle plans to win all the Oscars at once?
Of course, there is also the Best Actress award for Yukie Nakama. This is the first time in the past 30 years that an Asian has been nominated for Best Actress. That is absolutely big news. It is precisely because of this that the female version of "The Embalmer" was launched in Japan and North America at the same time. Japanese evaluations are divided into two extremes. Those who praise Miracle Director accurately grasp the cultural essence of the Yamato nation. Even local directors may not be able to produce such wonderful works. It¡¯s hard to criticize this. After all, 80% of the scenes completely restored the daily life of Japanese people, so the firepower was concentrated on things like ¡°the understanding is too superficial¡± and ¡°it¡¯s awkward to forcefully insert American culture¡±. .
In North America, on the other hand, probably because most people have never seen rural life in Japan, they overwhelmingly praise the exotic customs and thoughts on life from different cultures.
However, after the nomination list came out, this voice from Japan suddenly died down, and not a single one was left. Then it sang the same praises as North America. The nomination for Best Foreign Language Film is one reason. Nakama Yukie's Best Actress award is another reason. Yukie has been holding a green card until now - Adrian is there anyway. She can naturalize at any time¡ªso even though she has lived in the United States for more than a decade, she is still a Japanese citizen.
Therefore, Yukie, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress, instantly became a model for Japanese artists. Therefore, the Japanese critics quickly unified their caliber. It's amazing how quickly his face changes. From here we can also see how deep the influence of the United States on Japan is.
Of course, more importantly, their eyes are still fixed on the Oscars. It¡¯s not just the Japanese. Americans and Asians are all very concerned about it, because this is the work of the miracle director who has praised countless Miracle Girls!
Regrettably, Americans breathed a sigh of relief, but Asians were disappointed. The best actress award finally fell to Helen Mirren, who starred in "The Queen" which was postponed for a year. Although in the history of the Oscars, there are no Japanese-Americans who have won the best actress, but that was in the 1950s and 1960s. Now, unless there are very special circumstances, it is impossible to have an Asian best actress.
What¡¯s interesting is that despite this, some mainland netizens still complain that it would be great if Director Miracle directed a movie about China.
It is also worth mentioning that Kate once again received a nomination for Best Actress this year for the movie "The Truth", which is undoubtedly Adrian's bad taste.
In terms of music, it¡¯s a little different, but it¡¯s equally eye-catching. After Adrian¡¯s careful planning, Christina broke the record by winning six gold gramophones at the Grammy Awards at the beginning of the year, which attracted the attention of the entire music industry. Her album may not be as good as Britney's super album in terms of sales, but it will definitely remain in the history of the Grammy Awards.Make a big move.
Of course, this also caused Britney, Avril Lavigne, and Taylor to join forces that night and use all possible means to exploit Adrian. What¡¯s interesting is that Avril Lavigne took the lead, with Taylor encouraging her, but Britney was marginalized. After the Madoff fraud case was exposed, Adrian got Scott Swift involved. Get it out in a few days.
After learning that he and Madoff had interacted at work, Adrian had this plan in mind. However, Madoff was not easy to defeat at that time, and Taylor also had other weaknesses, so he did not use it. Now, with such an indirect beating, and because he took advantage of Taylor's playful mentality, he made her a little forgetful, so she was completely submissive and was squeezed by his hand.
This is true in movies and music, and it is also true in hunting for women. After "Twilight" was released, Amanda Peet and January Jones could not run away, and it didn't take long like "Desperate Housewives" did. Under the influence of marijuana, there was a melee without Kristen, Amber, and Dakota.
Originally, he wanted to do this with several girls from "Gossip Girl", but firstly, Amber and Teresa have not reached this point yet, and secondly, Jamie is still a bit young - but It's not that it can't be done, Britney ate it at this time. The main reason is that we need to prevent the old Spears from doing stupid things. His vision is too short-sighted, and Jamie is not as subtle as Britney for a long time, so he can only wait.
But it doesn¡¯t matter, there is no harvest here, there is something there, after "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" was released in 2007. "Half-Blood Prince" was quickly put on the agenda, and naturally, Lavender Brown's casting activities were also put on the agenda. Through the intervention of Adrian, who once again took advantage of his vacant position, Rosie Jones from Surrey, England, won the role. Not surprisingly, he personally checked her out on the bed, especially the pair who were comparable to Ji Li and the others. chest.
So, after the Harry Potter movie series is getting closer and closer to the end. "The female students who fell into the hands of the Death Eaters" will probably also be raised.
Moreover, Adrian's pursuit of beauty does not stop at this point. When Nastya Liukin of the U.S. women's gymnastics team won the women's all-around championship with elegant and seductive moves at the National Stadium on August 15, 2008, only the team According to the guidance of the coach there, she did not stay in the Olympic Village two nights before the competition. Instead, she moaned softly under a man in a room on the top floor of the Pangu Grand View Hotel.
It seems that it is not entirely a lie that sex can make female gymnasts perform better, of course, this must be moderate. A few days later, in the women's team, it was precisely because of Nastya's mistake. As a result, the silver medal that should have belonged to the US team became a bronze medal.
Although Khorkina had already had a taste of being a gymnast, and although she could still do a lot of difficult moves with her retained toughness, she was still a little older, so Adrian wanted to try something new. Younger. Especially at the end of the summer vacation in 2007, after using "The Vampire Diaries" to make Nina Dobrev obediently undress and take off her clothes, a relatively amateur gymnast was very satisfied, so she simply made the very famous Nina Dobrev in the United States. Stella Liukin got it.
??For Russian immigrant families like them. If you can hug your thighs, that would be great.
Not only that, she is the famous so-called first beauty in Silicon Valley. Google's vice president, Marissa Mayer, was also taken in by him - although Adrian had flirted with Marissa before, the other party didn't really buy it. Unfortunately, when he got serious, she passed out quickly. head.
He is like this, always getting what he wants, always creating miracles, as if there is nothing he cannot do. He represents Hollywood and may not be able to rule here as he pleases. Although like the president of the United States, he is often the spokesperson of interest groups, no one can ignore his influence. He is more like the king of Hollywood!¡ª¡ª
The car door opened, and on both sides of the red carpet, flashlights began to flash rapidly. Even though some people in the crowd kept exclaiming, the speed of the shutter did not slow down.
Decent suit, angular facial features, a slight stubble on his cheeks, and a slightly raised corner of his mouth. He looks both serious and approachable, as if he can become friends at any time, but with a sense of aloof mystery.
Women like him because he can make them happy with just a few words; men like him because he is good at understanding them; actors like him because he represents opportunity; producers like him because his movies always sell well. ; Reporters like him because he can always find big news in him; film schools like him because he always discovers many high-quality movies that meet the tastes of American society; Wall Street likes him because he can always find more valuable stories. investment projects; the left likes him because his work always appeals to themThe right likes him because his wealth and background make him naturally on their side.
Women hated him because he always wanted to sleep with them; men hated him because he was good at grabbing women and always got them; actors hated him, especially male actors because they had an advantage over actresses; producers hated him, Because all the big-selling movies are in his hands; reporters hate him because his bottom line is very high and changes at any time, and anyone who touches it will end badly; the film academy hates him because he took away too many Oscars; Wall Street hates him because he keeps his stuff so tightly guarded that they won¡¯t get their hands on it; the left hates him because his wealth and background make him inherently on the opposite side; the right hates him because of his works and some of his remarks Always prefer to do things.
However, whether you like it or hate it, love it or hate it, there is no denying that he, Adrian Cowell, is the well-deserved king of Hollywood.
"This is the first time you have appeared on the red carpet of the Oscars with a woman on your arm, right, Your Majesty?" Kate, who followed him from the car and walked hand in hand with him in a white evening dress with a high slit, came close to him. The ear asked.
"Of course, dear." Adrian chuckled, "Any questions?"
"You're not worried now?" Kate snorted.
"What's there to worry about? This is the 81st Oscars, and there will be many more in the future, so they will also have a chance." Adrian reached out and flicked her face in the flashing lights, "I I will slowly introduce them to everyone, but of course, you are the first, always the first.¡±
Then, he laughed: "It's better to worry about it now. Although your acting skills are very good, and although "The Changeling" was directed by me myself, with the example of "The Embalmer" before me, will the judges still give it to me? My face?"
Kate glared at him, but didn't say anything. She just held his arm tighter, and walked slowly on the red carpet to the sacred Oscar awarding venue in the midst of many eyes.
ps: Phew don't worry, there is still a big chapter at the end for explanation, guaranteed to be exciting.
