King of Hollywood

A face in the shape of the Chinese character Shen, shrewd eyes with shrewd eyes, slightly bald forehead, and thin lips. This is the CEO of Disney, Michael Eisner, who has developed Disney from an ordinary large company to the current group. The one who will receive the title of tyrant in the near future.

It's nice to see you again, Mr. Adrian. The world is really unpredictable. I remember that you were still studying at Stanford a few years ago. You were a rebellious young man. I didn't expect you to have the title of ghost director now. Eisner held out his hand with a smile that seemed genuinely genuine.

Thank you, that's because I have my own goals. Every young man has a time to be rebellious, and every young man also has a time to work hard for his own goals. Adrian shook hands with him.

The former Adrian did meet Eisner, at a reception held by his parents, that's why the other party said things like Nice to see you again. Of course, with that Adrian's character, he must have forgotten it long ago.

That's true, Eisner nodded, agreeing with Adrian's statement, Lavern said more than once that you are the most talented and confident young man he has ever met, I think he said That's right.

Laffer is a good CEO. Adrian smiled and didn't say anything more. He was full of gratitude to his godfather. Before that, several presidents of film companies had come to say hello to Adrian.

Eisner didn't say anything more about the movie. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he and Ron Rees left immediately. After Ron Rhys and Claude said a few more words, they turned their heads and patted Adrian's shoulder with a smile: I heard you've been busy recently, Ed?

Sorry, Godfather, I should take time to come and see you and Beth... Adrian said apologetically.

It's okay, young people should spend more time on their own careers. Although you poached Crowe away from me, I don't blame you, Ed. Ron Rhys shook his head with a smile, You guys were already planning to make a fortune in the futures market around this time last year? I never expected Crowe to do this, and he obviously shouldn't have stayed with me.

Dad. Claude couldn't help calling softly.

It's okay, Crowe, you did a good job. Ron Rhys patted his son, I'm proud of you.

Then he looked at Adrian again: Ed, keep working hard, the Soviet Union has done a good job, and you will succeed.

What about the Soviet Union? Adrian looked at the godfather puzzled.

Oh, by the way, Ron Rees immediately showed a look of sudden realization, Crow asked me not to tell, he intends to surprise you—of course, I think he actually wants to show it.

Claude on the side immediately covered his forehead: Dad!

Well, I didn't say anything. Ron Rhys laughed and left the two to go elsewhere.

After watching the godfather go away, Adrian turned his gaze back to Claude: Can you explain, Claude?

If you really want to know, I can tell you now. Claude said with a smile.

After thinking for a few minutes, Adrian vetoed the idea: Well, let's talk when you are willing to say it. Of course, if the level of surprise is not high enough, you will be out of luck, Crowe.

Just wait and see. Claude shrugged.

Adrian looked around and suddenly sighed softly: I don't know how to thank Godfather.

Just work hard towards the goal you set, Claude shrugged. Speaking of which, Ed, why don't you want to appear on TV shows or accept interviews? Although you have the reputation of a ghost director now, filming There are movies one after another, but in the eyes of outsiders and the public, you are just a good rookie director, why don't you promote yourself vigorously?

Not yet, Adrian smiled slightly, Have you seen my previous film The Shawshank Redemption? I kept suppressing and suppressing and suppressing until finally there was a big explosion. was very impressive.”

Claude raised his eyebrows: So, when are you going to explode.

Soon. Adrian smiled slightly.

The three films Scent of a Woman, Pulp Fiction, and Howards End that will be released next year are not just for the nominations of Best Actor and Best Director, they also have a more important effect.

Four days after returning from the godfather's reception, Adrian was forced by Claude to come to, um, Ron Rees's private horse farm. Claude didn't really choose to play golf, although he wanted to see Adrian's depressed appearance.

Since it was riding a horse, Adrian was also happy to bring Kate along. For Kate who had never ridden a horse before, this was undoubtedly an exciting and interesting experience.

God, Ed, I can't sit still! I'm going to fall!

Okay, don't worry, I will hold you, even if you fall, I will be below.

The two rode together and ran several times in the horse farm. Kate yelled like a child in excitement, while Adrian enjoyed it with peace of mind holding his soft body.

Your little girlfriend is really cute, it seems that you are obsessed with this type now. Claude teased Adrian in private. Adrian shrugged and avoided the topic, and continued to talk about the company.

Although horse riding at the racecourse is for entertainment, it is also a good place to discuss business affairs, especially some business secrets, and many private transactions are also negotiated in such places.

The current situation of AC Media is very stable. Needless to say, Bosworth Pictures, under the leadership of Adrian, although there is a taste of rushing, but it is still very stable. The sales volume of the novel version of Resident Evil is mediocre, but the publishing companies that have stabilized with this novel have started a new round of accumulation. As for venture capital firms, Clinton won the election but won't take office until next year, so there is still a wait, anyway, the Soviet Union is about to start soon.

Therefore, it was the brokerage company that the two talked about the most. Although Claude doesn't know much about the film industry, he grew up in Los Angeles after all, and many things in management are similar, so he also understands the importance of an agent company.

Actors and directors in the hands of several agents are quite good. I think they are worth holding. Adrian recalled, I will give you a list when I go back.

No problem, but I'm planning to hire a senior talent to serve as the CEO. I can't always be the CEO of the brokerage company. Claude said.

The CEO of the brokerage company? Adrian raised his eyebrows, I have a good candidate.

Who? Claude asked with interest.

It's not yet time. Adrian shook his head, because Michael Eisner, he also thought of a very suitable candidate, but it's not available now, and he has to wait at least two years.

I suggest trying to promote people from within the company first, otherwise it will cost a lot of money to let them go after less than two years after being recruited, he said.

(Sorry, it's a little late at night because of some things, continue to ask for tickets and collections, hey...)
