Chapter 492 Wind and water

"We witnessed a miracle happening, but we didn't expect that less than a month after Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company acquired Blizzard, Blizzard suddenly announced the birth of a new game "World of Warcraft", the release of this 3D game, which will be like a dying Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company to rescue!" Financial news in the United States writes that financial news has a certain influence in the American business community! The reports before and after the news have allowed many people to truly witness the ups and downs of Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company in just one month!

At the beginning of October, when Zhou Shaoming, Jim and others were still concentrating on the production of "The League of Assassins", George came to Zhou Shaoming excitedly and shouted: "Zhou, it has been developed, it has been developed." ”

Less than a week after Zhou Shaoming asked George to fund Blizzard's development of the game "World of Warcraft", George came to Zhou Shaoming with such exciting news!

When Zhou Shaoming, who was in the production room, heard George's words, he couldn't help but stand up, put his hands on George's shoulders, and said in disbelief: "What did you say?" At this time, Zhou Shaoming heard such news, and even he couldn't believe it, if what George said was true, then he and the employees in Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company would calm down!

At this time, the internal employees of Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company are working like frightened birds! In the face of them who may be laid off tomorrow, although under the leadership of Zhou Shaoming, they are full of hope for the future of the company, but the reality is always cruel, and the depressed emotions day by day make many employees begin to complain!

Zhou Shaoming knew that there was no way to change such a passive situation at this time, so he could only hurry up in the production room, do the things at hand first, make the film clips of "League of Assassins", and then go into battle in person to complete the editing of this movie as soon as possible!

"You heard you right, Zhou. Blizzard has received news that their newly developed 3D game "World of Warcraft" has been completed and can be launched on the market in the near future. In the face of Zhou Shaoming's question, George said affirmatively: "The birth of this 3D game should cause a new wave in the game industry and open a new century of games!" ”

Zhou Shaoming didn't listen to George's words, as for whether the new century of the game can be opened, it is not something that Zhou Shaoming considers, Zhou Shaoming only thinks about the birth of this new game. It will reduce the pressure on Supernova Entertainment Film and Television at this time!

Zhou Shaoming kept walking around the production room, and Zhou Shaoming, who had pondered for a moment, said excitedly: "Go and contact the people over there at Blizzard, and ask them to immediately announce the news of the successful development of the new game, and this game will start to be launched in the near future!" ”

Jim looked at the excited Zhou Shaoming, and when he heard Zhou Shaoming's words, he interrupted and said, "It's the internal test of the game, Zhou!" ”

Zhou Shaoming was stunned when he heard Jim's words. With a smile on his face, he said, "It's an internal test." ”

"George, then have Blizzard make a game for our new movie, League of Assassins! And before the release of our film. Announcing this game, I hope this news will bring more audiences to our film! Zhou Shaoming said with a smile on the corner of his mouth!

Today is the best news Zhou Shaoming has heard during this time, and the weight of this news is enough to have a box office of hundreds of millions of dollars with a movie. It's not more important than a billion box office!

When George heard Zhou Shaoming's order, he hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and contact Blizzard!" ”

When George was leaving. Zhou Shaoming hurriedly stopped and said, "Don't worry. What else do I have to tell you? Zhou Shaoming was anxious for a moment, and suddenly forgot what to say to George in his mind!

George looked at Zhou Shaoming standing in place blankly, was he thinking? George asked, "Zhou, you might as well speak up what you want to say!" ”

Mark approached Jim and asked in surprise, "I didn't expect our League of Assassins movie to make a game, I'll see it for myself then!" ”

Jim saw Zhou Shaoming in a daze, because he was afraid of his presence with Mark, Jim said generously: "Zhou, if you care about us, we can go out first." "After all, it's a business thing, and Jim doesn't need to know much about it if he can think of something!

When Zhou Shaoming heard Jim's words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and responded to Jim: "Don't, don't get me wrong, I suddenly can't remember what I want to say to George?" But there is one very important thing that I can't remember no matter how I think about it. ”

George was dumbfounded, it was the first time he was so excited to see Zhou Shaoming, "Zhou, you think slowly, is it about that aspect?" ”

Zhou Shaoming said affirmatively: "It's related to Blizzard." My brain, how suddenly I forgot. Zhou Shaoming was very embarrassed to stand still, but Zhou Shaoming was sure that there must be something important, and he didn't say it to George!

George said puzzledly: "Something related to Blizzard, except for the game that made the movie "League of Assassins", I don't think there is anything that can be related to our film and television company?" Isn't it related to our company? ”

Zhou Shaoming said ambiguously: "It shouldn't have much to do with it." You come with me to the office, I'll take a look at my notes, and I should be able to find them! ”

George said helplessly: "Just ask your assistant Benjamin." ”

Zhou Shaoming shook his head and said, "No, this matter should only be known to me!" After Zhou Shaoming finished speaking, he hurriedly walked towards his office, and before leaving, Zhou Shaoming said to Jim and Mark: "I'm sorry, I'm going to deal with the company's affairs, I'll leave it to you here." ”

Jim understands Zhou Shaoming's mood very well at this time, facing the days of being with Zhou Shaoming for nearly a month, it can be seen that Zhou Shaoming is really under a lot of pressure during this time, and this moment is also a chance for Zhou Shaoming to take a breath.

Zhou Shaoming hurriedly came to his company, and when he saw Benjamin who was looking for something in the office, he asked suspiciously: "Zhou, what are you looking for?" I should know where to put it. ”

Zhou Shaoming responded: "What about my black notebook? ”

Benjamin was stunned, notebook? Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he responded truthfully: "The middle drawer is in the innermost part." ”

Zhou Shaoming hurriedly took out the notebook pressed at the bottom from the middle drawer, looked at the notebook in his hand with a sigh of relief, and hurriedly flipped through it, looking for clues! When the notebook flipped through the game of the century, Zhou Shaoming's eyes lit up. Everything is clear!

Zhou Shaoming sat down easily, and said to George, who had been watching Zhou Shaoming looking for this small notebook: "You sit down, I'll discuss this matter with you!" ”

Benjamin hurriedly poured water for Zhou Shaoming and George, George kept watching Zhou Shaoming anxiously looking for things, and he felt very nervous, but George couldn't help at all.

George sat in front of Zhou Shaoming, curious about what Zhou Shaoming would talk about with him!

Zhou Shaoming said to George: "Since Blizzard has developed a new game called World of Warcraft, I think that this year, we will hold a Century-War competition for the game Frozen Throne!" The biggest sponsor of this contest can choose us. The amount of money awarded for the first place can be as high as millions, or even three or five million! What do you think? ”

After George heard Zhou Shaoming's words, he almost didn't faint, it turned out that Zhou Shaoming was so anxious, just to discuss with himself how to scatter the funds in his elbow, but now at this time, Zhou Shaoming still has to spend a huge amount of money to promote the game Frozen Throne, there is no need, this game must have a large mass base!

"Week. There's no need for such a competition! After all, this game already has a fixed mass base, and spending a huge amount of money to sponsor the game will consume our funds in vain, plus the promotion cost of the movie "League of Assassins". The cost of promoting "World of Warcraft", the cost of developing the "League of Assassins" game, Zhou, you just kill me. George began to pour bitter water in Zhou Shaoming. George felt that he couldn't do such a chore, and George almost said it. Zhou, if you do this again, you should leave my errand to someone else.

Zhou Shaoming looked at George, who was reluctant in front of him again, smiled on his face, and said, "I know, we don't have any extra funds on hand to engage in such a game now, isn't this a discussion with you?" ”

George glanced at Zhou Shaoming with his eyes, and responded: "I just made a mistake in my mouth, because we don't have any funds on hand now, you are still fooling around like this, I still say the same thing, you just kill me." ”

Zhou Shaoming asked helplessly: "Didn't we just inject 90 million funds into the past just a few days ago like Blizzard?" That money shouldn't be of any use. ”

When George heard Zhou Shaoming's words, he hurriedly responded: "This money is the cost of the later promotion of "League of Assassins" and the promotion of the game "World of Warcraft", and it can't be moved. ”

Zhou Shaoming played the scoundrel and said: "I don't care about this, you are only responsible for conveying my suggestion to Blizzard, see what they think, if this plan is feasible, you are still responsible for the funding problem." ”

George was dumbfounded, and said helplessly: "Zhou, are you discussing with me in a tone?" ”

Zhou Shaoming showed a bright smile on his face and said, "Isn't this the point of discussing again?" The matter has not yet been decided. ”

George wanted to spurt blood to death on the spot, but for Zhou Shaoming at this moment, George didn't want to destroy Zhou Shaoming's mind, and promised: "Okay, I will discuss this matter with Blizzard, you just wait for the result." ”

Zhou Shaoming nodded, everything was finally settled, and when George left, he asked, "Zhou, when will the movie "League of Assassins" be released." ”

Zhou Shaoming hesitated and said: "It is estimated that the current speed will be released by the beginning of November." ”

George said with a grin: "This decisive battle 2004 plan, you can close it perfectly, I must be on my side as you wish, and I will get the acquisition of Blizzard!" ”

When Zhou Shaoming heard George's words, he couldn't help but say, "Okay, don't ramble here, hurry up and get busy!" ”

After George left, Zhou Shaoming looked at Benjamin and asked, "Ben, what are David, Tesla, Ben, and Dixon doing now?" ”

Benjamin said truthfully: "David is on vacation now, I heard that he has been learning to shoot science fiction movies on this subject, and Tesla Ben has just finished "Hulk 2" and is also on vacation, as for Dixon, you didn't assign him a task." Still making movies! ”

Zhou Shaoming sighed and said lightly: "After Zhou Shaoming understood the situation of the supernova entertainment film and television directors, he said to Benjamin, you try to contact, David, Tesla, and Ben, since they have started to rest, see if they are interested." Come with me to edit the League of Assassins movie? ”

Benjamin asked a little puzzled, "Isn't there enough manpower in our company?" ”

Zhou Shaoming shook his head and said to Benjamin: "No, I just see that they are a little idle, take this opportunity to communicate with them more about movies, especially David, I hope to grow up quickly and become another blockbuster director of Supernova Entertainment Film and Television!" ”

Benjamin understood what Zhou Shaoming meant and said, "Okay, I'll contact you." ”

Zhou Shaoming said to Benjamin: "By the way, help me book another dinner." I'm going with Christina! ”

Benjamin listened to Zhou Shaoming's instructions, was stunned, nodded with a smile, and said, "Got it." ”

When Zhou Shaoming returned to the production room again, Jim asked, "Zhou, is the matter dealt with?" ”

At this time, Zhou Shaoming was naturally in a happy mood, and in less than a month, the miracle reversal made the pressure on Zhou Shaoming's shoulders relax a lot, and said: "There are many things." I forgot that when we first bought Blizzard, I was thinking about whether to hold a big WAR3 competition this year. Invited to the likes of China's human emperor SK, South Korea's MONN, as well as the beast king, the ghost king. Zhou Shaoming couldn't help laughing as he spoke. Let them, the world's top professional players, gather together to bring a battle of the century to the audience. Start a new chapter in WAR3! ”

Mark's eyes lit up, and S said: "Good idea, let everyone all over the world know that Blizzard has changed owners, and that is our Director Smith Zhou!" ”

Zhou Shaoming shook his head helplessly and said, "Do you still need to let everyone know about this matter through this competition?" I believe that at this moment, whether it is the entertainment industry or the business circle, people from all walks of life know about it. ”

Jim laughed when he heard it: "No way, the tree is so windy!" ”

Zhou Shaoming sorted out his mood and said, "Okay, let's continue to start!" ”

After more than two months, the post-production of the "League of Assassins" alliance was completed, and the wonderful special effects of Jim and Mark's team made Zhou Shaoming full of praise! For this movie, Zhou Shaoming's expectations are getting higher and higher!

In a dark room, Zhou Shaoming called the directors of Tesla Ben and David, two supernovas, and Zhou Shaoming hoped to complete the final editing of the film with these two people!

Especially for the young David, this time was a special experience, facing the experienced Zhou Shaoming and Tesla. David has an attitude of humble learning and looks at all the shots on the screen seriously!

Zhou Shaoming said to David next to him: "This is all the shots that have been filmed, and a lot of special effects have been processed, but in terms of time, there are still a lot of them, and our task now is to smoothly edit these shots into a real movie." ”

Zhou Shaoming looked at the attitudes of the two and said: "According to your experience, after you watch all the shots, think about it in your mind, and see what you will do with this movie in the end!" ”

After more than two hours, the young David said: "The shots shot in this movie are very shocking, and I really don't know how to give up!" ”

Teslaben nodded in agreement: "Yes, especially the part of filming the train, although it is not the climax of the movie, but after all, there is a wonderful battle of life and death here, especially in the end, the protagonist of the film, Wesley, learns that all this is a trap, just to make himself kill his own father, which makes me a little unbearable to do!" ”

David exhaled deeply and said, "Wonderful shootouts, crazy drag racing scenes, intrigue, father-son battles. David said and couldn't help but ponder, "How can we connect these shots together completely, so that the plot seems compact and exciting!" What a conundrum! ”

Looking at David and Tesla, who have been editing in the black house, Zhou Shaoming couldn't help laughing: "Have you seen all these shots?" Need to look at it again? ”

Teslaben frowned and asked, "Zhou, what do you mean?" ”

Zhou Shaoming said truthfully: "I called you here this time, but I also hope that you will start to change your concepts, now the special effects in the movie are becoming more and more important, David may not have much contact, I think Tesla you have deep feelings, more importantly, now you are beginning to slowly focus on quantity from quality, there must not be many directors in our company, and Dixon focuses on shooting TV series, so the burden on our shoulders is becoming more and more important." ”

Zhou Shaoming said that he said the purpose of calling the two of them this time, "I will start the final processing of this movie, and after you finish watching it, go back and think about how you want to edit this movie, and when the movie is released, see what I will do with this movie!" Then find my shortcomings, and you can see your shortcomings! We bridge the gap with each other! ”

When David heard Zhou Shaoming's words, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said without confidence: "Zhou, aren't you joking again?" We may be compared to you! ”

Tesla Ben echoed: "Zhou, are you deliberately looking for trouble with us, seeing that we are idle and bored, but you are busy here, come and have fun with us." ”

Listening to the two complaining, Zhou Shaoming took a deep breath and said, "Do I seem to be such a boring person?" (To be continued......)
