Chapter 157: The Caribbean
"I think we can combine YouTube and Blog first, and add the function of uploading videos to Blog, so that bloggers can write blog posts in both video and text ways. Sid's words made Larry Page think.
"Is this going to promote Youtube?" asked Larry Page.
"Not exactly. Sid shook his head, "Now because of bandwidth, the information dissemination on the Internet is still dominated by text and pictures, but video-level streaming media transmission is definitely the general trend in the future, so we must take precautions." ”
"Sean (Parker) and Shirley (Sandberg) do the technical and management things, but in terms of users, it's not that simple. ”
"I really don't know how Sean and Shirley will feel when they hear you. Larry Page grumbled with his forehead raised.
"What's that?" Sid asked, smiling.
"You're throwing your hands off the shopkeeper and making it hard for us who work hard——!!" Larry Page complained ruthlessly, raising his voice.
"Yes?" said Sid, smiling, "Didn't I have a strategic plan for you?" Besides, if I do this kind of thing, there is no more than me, and no less than me, and if I keep dangling in front of you, won't it still distract you?"
Larry Page slapped the table when he heard Sid say this: "I've never seen such a brazen person——!!!"
"Hahaha—okay, that's it, that's it. After the two laughed, Sid brought the topic back up, "Although the bandwidth environment of YouTube is not good enough, whether it is according to Moore's Law, or the preferential policies of the federal government and the laying speed of network operators, within two or three years, the network hardware environment of video streaming will begin to mature." ”
"If we want to take precautions, we must of course preempt all the technical difficulties and barriers, as well as the more important user stickiness. It's like we've made web search the equivalent of Google search. Internet video should also be equated with YouTube, only in this way can we truly be considered to be in line with the Internet 2.0 and 3.0 era. ”
Sid's words are always so far-sighted and far-sighted, that Larry Page is thrilled and yearning, "Well, if there are any things and affairs, you can send them directly to us." ”
"No problem. Sid smiled faintly, "I have discussed with Shirley in advance about the specific matters, and she will send a team to let YouTube connect with you, and you will have to be flexible if there are problems in the specific process." ”
Sid still has this confident appearance, which makes Larry Page very angry "itchy teeth": "You are really like this, you have already calculated all of us, arranged things for all of us, and you ran to the side by yourself happily ——!"
"Hey, look at what you're saying, I still have an A-grade movie to make in the second half of the year, how can I be happy alone?" Sid immediately retorted confidently.
"yes, it's really tiring to go to the Caribbean for half a year—" Larry Page said disagreeing.
"Well, what???, the prop is something to find me?" Sid, who was on the other side of the phone, faced Larry Page's "step by step", and suddenly said a few words to the other side as if something had happened, and then said to Larry Page very "sorry", "Sorry, Larry, it seems that something happened to me, I have to deal with it, and we will talk next time I have a chance, Bye ——!"
"Hey——!" Before Larry Page could react to his words, the phone was hung up all at once, he looked at the phone angrily, then stood up and walked outside the office, and said to his subordinates: "Hey, get ready, we have a big job to do again!"
"Phew——, Larry, they're getting harder and harder to fool. Sid flipped his collar speechlessly, muttering to himself with a smile of "the rest of the catastrophe" when his assistant knocked on the door.
"Boss, the crew can start. ”
"Okay, I'll come over now. Sid nodded and stood up, although he used the crew's affairs as an excuse on his phone, but in fact, he was indeed busy preparing for "Pirates of the Caribbean" now, and his feet did not touch the ground every day.
During the filming of "The Departed" in the first half of his year, the "Caribbean" crew, led by Henry and Justin Linh, was building various props and studios for the show to be used in the East and West Coasts and the Caribbean.
More than half a year has passed, and the preparations for "Pirates of the Caribbean" are nearing completion, and Sid, as a director, is of course unlikely to become the most amateur in the film, so this month, he has been busy with all kinds of preparations for the film, and even Avril, who was halfway up before, can only be reluctant to put it down.
Of course, Sid will definitely not admit that it is because of this film, after staying with the little clever ghost Lindsay every day, he has no chance to go out to hunt flames.
At the same time, with Sid officially joining the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean", Sid's filming of pirate movies has officially spread in Hollywood circles.
Although the preparation of "Pirates of the Caribbean" was not news before, after Sid left "Pirates of the Caribbean" in the first half of the year and ran to start filming "The Departed", which was full of male gods, many people thought that "Pirates of the Caribbean" was just a smokescreen for Fire Lion Pictures, or, even if it was filmed, it would have to wait until next year.
In the Hollywood circle, film projects, especially A-level productions with hundreds of millions of dollars like "Pirates of the Caribbean", are impossible to hide from everyone.
Who knew that two months after Sid finished filming "The Departed", "Pirates of the Caribbean" would start construction, which was really unexpected by everyone.
Sid's name of "Desperate Saburo" has also become an anecdote among insiders for a while - he can eat with his face, but he has to fight for his talent; he is already a billionaire, but he works harder than ordinary people, which is simply unscientific!
As for Sid's "risky topic" of re-making pirate films many years later, although it cannot be said that no one has mentioned it, but it has been overwhelmed by Sid's own aura.
Maybe it's like a number of talk show hosts joked on TV, "I don't know if Sid Leon surprised me by making a pirate film, or if he just finished filming two months and made a new film that surprised me more." Forget it, I'm numb——, wake me up when he wins the Oscar. ”
