King of Hollywood

Chapter 100 Keep Winning

"Think about it, Michael, are you really willing to work with that tyrant like this? I don't want to criticize Eisner. He is indeed a successful businessman with outstanding abilities. No one can deny that Disney is what he is today. , but he is also a person who takes his rights very seriously and will not share them with anyone. You left CAA for a better future, but can you see it in Disney?

Yes, we are young, but we have a bright enough prospect. Which company can have such a scale in just a few years like us? It is precisely because we are young that we need people like you who are full of wisdom and rich experience to join us. Then we let it stabilize underqualification? Then let's change feet

Don't you think it's fine now? What about your aggressiveness? What about your adventurous spirit? If you think you've reached the top, you're wrong. I'll tell you what the top is. Michael builds a company to make it successful and then builds the same company to surpass it. That's what a legend should have. You can tell everyone that CAA is nothing, as long as you, Michael Ovitz, can have countless CAAs

Of course, it is not easy to surpass CAA, but besides you and me, I can make anyone popular if I want to be popular. I was doing this when I first entered this circle in 1990 when I only had one film company. And what I said, now that I have TBS, such a well-known broadcasting company, can't I do better? Opportunity is here, why not take a chance, Michael? "

This was Adrian's last speech that afternoon. It was very provocative and seductive, and with the aura of those achievements covering him, it was quite convincing. However, Michael Ovitz still did not "give his head and worship". He is also a person who has seen big storms. What's more, in the early days of CAA's establishment, he often went to battle for clients, and his eloquence was quite good, so he behaved very calmly.

However, both Adrian and Claude knew that the other party was already moved. If you want to persuade a person, especially a successful businessman with rich experience, you need strength and convincing strength in addition to good eloquence, otherwise you will never be able to impress the other party with your words, and they have such strength. There are many companies that can create miracles, such as Apple at the beginning or Microsoft that soared to the sky with n95, but it is the first company like the media that can have such a scale in an established industry in a few years.

Although many people knew that there was support behind them, and they also knew that they used the opportunity of 1992 to make a lot of cash, but if they did not have the ability, they would not be able to control such a company, so their hearts are inevitable. However, whether they will agree to it is still open to question. Not everyone can predict the future like Adrian, but Adrian seems very optimistic.

"He will agree." When he left the golf club, he said to Claude in such an affirmative tone.

As early as a few years ago when he was looking for a suitable person in charge of his agency, Adrian immediately thought of this former CAA because of his knowledge of Disney in his previous life. The information about Ci also awakened a lot of memories.

In my memory, he only stayed in Disney for 18 months before being kicked out by Eisner. Although it is only 12 months now, Eisner is facing various challenges within the company because of the failure of the acquisition, and is trying to strengthen his power. Witts is also having a bad time-the news cannot be hidden-so it is likely that he will step down in less than 6 months, so Adrian will speak like that. After leaving Disney, Ovitz founded another agency company. Unfortunately, CAA had been fully formed at that time, and most of the market was divided up by the four major agency companies, which did not achieve very good results.

So this is the perfect time to start poaching corners. The possibility that Ovitz, who still has great ambitions, will agree is more than 80%.

As long as Michael Ovitz agrees, Adrian has no doubts that they can do it. It is true that CAA was not developed solely by Ovitz, but Ovitz is the one who knows CAA best among several partners, and CAA can become the best performing brokerage company in the 21st century, largely depends on their formulation Carry forward the regulations and do it.

Ovitz is familiar with these, and naturally knows how to arrange targeted measures. In addition, Adrian's precise vision and his media company have made up for the shortcomings in his original trajectory when he started his business again. It is not whimsical to surpass CAA.

In fact, Ovitz did not disappoint Adrian. Two months later, Eisner did not hesitate to fire his old friend who had specially invited him over. Ovitz also joined Adrian without hesitation. The cutting-edge brokerage company under the name of Derian then spent seven days completing his first performance: poaching Tom Hanks.

"Your guy is an idiot. You have such a good and convincing character, but you don't know how to use it." Ovitz, who has secured his position in the company through this performance, proudly said to Adrian.

Adrian shrugged. Originally, that person was originally selected to be an excessive character. He was a typical conservative with more than aggressiveness. Naturally, he would not be as active as him.

"I'll leave it to you here. Under normal circumstances, Crowe and I will not interfere with anything. You have a lot of autonomy. If necessary, we will also provide help, so I hope you can produce corresponding results." Adrian then half-warned that Ovitz's character of liking for a luxurious life has not changed at all. He started to renovate the office just like he did in Disney. What would the employees of the company think of him? One had to know that although the original guy was not very capable, he was very popular.

Well, this is all for later. In January 1996, apart from digging Eisner's corner, there were many other things, such as integrating Victoria's Secret into the group. I am really speechless about this Adrian. The acquisition of an underwear company by the media group is a bit ridiculous, right? Although those big groups are involved in many industries, General Electric also has such a broadcasting company in addition to electronic equipment and precision machinery, but underwear products...

Forget it, anyway, if Claude really develops Victoria's Secret as he said, and everything goes well, the relationship between the underwear brand and the media company will be quite close in a few years. Since he is interested, let him do it well. As for the opinions of other companies, that is not important.

What Adrian paid most attention to was preparing for the acquisition of Surprise. Crowder had already taken the first step, and began to secretly gather Surprise's stocks like he did with TBS. Surprise's performance is currently going from bad to worse, which is a good time for acquisitions. However, for the group, it has acquired such a behemoth as TBS in the past two years, and it is easy to suffer from indigestion now that it has its sights on Surprise.

Even so, Adrian is still full of confidence. On the one hand, he believes in Claude's ability. In the past few years, he can keep up with his rhythm to win those goals one by one and maintain the group. No extraordinary talent is He couldn't do it, he was much better than the guy who relied on plagiarism to maintain his status; on the other hand, Adrian also believed that he could continue to win.

Since the inexplicable rebirth has so many advantages, and the continuous achievement has been achieved all the time, why can't it be maintained? What's more, Adrian is not the kind of arrogant and arrogant person. He knows how he got everything, so he is always calm, and always looks down on these things with the eyes of a bystander, so he can always grasp those things. A fleeting opportunity, so he can always deal with women with ease.

And if a company wants to stabilize itself in the rapid development, there is only one way to do it, and that is to keep winning. For example, Eisner, he was able to turn Disney into his own words because he increased its market value by ten times when he was in charge of Disney. Similarly, the failure of this acquisition immediately made him continuously challenged. Although the media doesn't want to disperse shares as much as Disney, but their qualifications are relatively small, and failure will still cause turmoil.

So acquiring Surprise isn't a big deal, as long as Adrian keeps winning.

Therefore, he also pays close attention to movies. In three weeks, the box office of "Braveheart" in North America has exceeded 50 million. . The quarrel in the UK has also temporarily come to an end, and the so-called Scottish independence bill has not even had a chance to be discussed. However, thanks to them, the overseas box office has also been rising all the way.

But this is still not as good as "Into the Deadly Island", but it was screened for three days at night, but it has already won 60 million box office in North America, with an average of 30 million a week. This is an achievement that many producers are envious of. It's no wonder the Weinstein brothers grin from ear to ear all day long. As a result, Michael Bay has been rated by the media as the most promising commercial film director. Bruckheimer's gold medal producer title is also in sight, and Cage, one of the protagonists, has raised his popularity to a higher level.

New Line's Robert Shea was as jealous as Claude expected, but who made the release of "Independence Day" scheduled for July 3rd? Since the name is "Independence Day", how could it be possible not to arrange the Independence Day holiday from July 3rd to July 5th? However, it is consoling that "Into the Deadly Island" has once again proved Adrian's vision is accurate, and having seen the sample, it feels good, and Shay is more or less relieved.

However, Adrian still felt that it was a pity. He originally wanted to see what it would be like to fight in "Independence Day" and "Independence Day".

Speaking of Rachel, Adrian couldn't help but feel a little funny. If she hadn't gone to Morocco for the location of "The English Patient", he would really like to tease her again. Just at the beginning of the month, during the New Year, it was necessary to visit the women's homes one by one. When they went to Rachel's place, she actually refused him outside.

"I'm not your... plaything, and I... don't want to be your lover, please... don't come to me in the future" she said righteously, or she tried her best to pretend to be righteous.

Adrian blinked, then picked her up, came to the bedroom amidst her struggle and screams, pressed her on the bed and ravaged her, and picked the many little daisies behind her by the way up. The whole process was so painful that Rachel screamed, but after getting used to it, she couldn't stop welcoming her warmly and moaning, and even curled up in his arms like a little lamb when it was over.

I don't know where she made a mistake, or did she just want to play like this? Adrian was a little puzzled, or sadomasochistic women are so capricious.

If it weren't for the other row, he would really like to visit Morocco, and "The English Patient" can be regarded as a movie that needs to be focused on. Interestingly, the other arrangement is also to visit the set, and "The Mask of Zorro" has already started in Texas.

"Drive" Adrian yelled and flicked the rein. The horse, which was not slow at first, immediately started to run on four legs. The wind blew past his ears, and the surrounding bushes moved back quickly. In the past, the dust raised by the horseshoes has risen a lot, making this picture look quite rough under the winter sun.

The girl on the saddle couldn't help shrinking into his arms: "Ed, isn't the speed a little faster?"

"Don't worry, baby, the speed is just right, which makes you feel like galloping on a horse." Adrian laughed, "Didn't you say that you are good at riding? Have you never ridden so fast before?"

"It's not in this kind of place, and I haven't shared a ride with anyone." Catherine Zeta-Jones said unconvinced.

"Then I'll teach you a lesson today." Adrian said as he flicked the rein again, and the horse's speed suddenly increased a lot.

Listening to the whistling wind, Zeta Jones' face turned slightly pale, and his hands on Adrian's body became much tighter. Feeling the warm body in his arms tense a lot, Adrian shrugged and then slowed down, and quickly changed from running wildly to fast running, then to trotting, and finally to a slow walk.

"Your riding skills are really superb, Ed." Zeta Jones took a long breath and sat up straight on the saddle back, looking very attractive with lingering fear.

"Thank you, I am honored to be praised by you, Your Royal Highness." Adrian leaned over and kissed her beautiful face. Zeta Jones was wearing a white 17th-century dress, and her brown-black hair was curled up. Hanging down, it has a sexy and classical temperament, no wonder he made fun of it like this.

"I'm glad to have a knight like you by my side." The recovered Zeta Jones immediately responded with a smile.

"To be honest, I prefer to ride horses on the prairie. Texas is a little bit more desolate. Maybe we can go horseback riding on a ranch in Montana or Canada when we have time?" Adrian said suddenly.

"It seems that you are very experienced, have you tried it with anyone?" Zeta Jones asked with interest after hearing something.

"Yes, I shared a ride with Gwynne in Canada." Adrian didn't hide it, because the relationship between the two is different from other people, so there are basically some topics that don't need to be avoided.

"Gwynne? Your fourth miracle girl?" Zeta-Jones' eyes fluttered and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Adrian chuckled softly, and moved the hand that was holding the rein up her lower abdomen, then reached into the middle of the clothes and grabbed the plumpness without any gap: "You will be the fifth soon, Kate .”

Zeta-Jones groaned softly, and then asked with some surprise: "Isn't the fifth one Sophie Marceau?"

"Sophie and I haven't violated the rules, but it's coming soon, well, you are the sixth." Adrian said, increasing the strength in his hands.

"So, which one do you think is better?" Zeta-Jones breathed slightly faster. This kind of topic of comparison is always inevitable, especially if the transaction between the two is still clearly marked, it is even more burdensome to ask about it.

"Each has its own characteristics, such a comparison is meaningless, but you do have something that fascinates me." Adrian said, kissing her ruddy lips from behind a little rough, and started to explore after prying open his teeth.

Zeta Jones, who tilted his head back, immediately began to greet enthusiastically. Not only that, but he also took the initiative to put his other hand on the other plump body, twisting his body from time to time, and gently pushed his hips back. The two kissed more and more passionately, and their movements became bigger and bigger. They didn't even hear the horse's sneeze, as if they couldn't wait to start their passion on horseback.

At this moment, Adrian suddenly left Zeta-Jones's lips, and at the same time stopped his movements. Zeta-Jones's beautiful face was covered with big blushes, and his blurred eyes seemed to want to have more. , It lasted for several seconds before he woke up, and then gave him a half-complaining and half-charming glance.

As expected of a stunner who understands a man's mind, Adrian secretly praised in his heart. Zeta Jones seemed to be unable to extricate himself from his kiss, but in fact she had been taking the initiative just now, so even though he was a little regretful, he stopped. Although this situation is not impossible, there are reasons for it. Adrian can allow a woman like Monica who has completely obeyed him to do this, but the ambitious Zeta Jones can't, it will only make her think that there is something to take advantage of. opportunity.

"Okay, let's go back. It's been a while since we came out. I'm afraid the crew will come out to find someone later." Adrian said, then pulled the rein and started to turn the horse's head.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Zeta Jones' eyes, but he didn't say much.

"By the way, remember to inform me when you return to Los Angeles, and I will introduce you to a beautician who is good at caring for your fingers." Adrian suddenly said

"A beautician who is good at caring for fingers?" Zeta Jones frowned slightly, and his face became a little uncomfortable.

"You are perfect, Kate. Your face, figure, and temperament are all fascinating, except for your fingers." Adrian said and raised her hand, which was short and round, which was her worst part.

"I have tried many methods, but I was born this way." Zeta Jones sighed, since he has been discovered, there is no need to cover up.

"That's not necessarily true. The beautician I introduced has done finger care for Cindy Crawford. You know, Cindy was just a farm girl in Tennessee, and she often helped her mother with the farm work in pulling corn. , but if you look at her hands now, there are no traces at all, can you?" Adrian said persuasively.

Oh, of course it's great. I've been held by those hands and played with it several times, and I have the most intuitive impression.

"Really?" Zeta Jones suddenly showed a look of excitement, and there was something more in the eyes of Adrian.

"Try it." A smile appeared on the corner of Adrian's mouth, don't think that you are the only one with scheming, dear Miss Catherine Zeta-Jones.
