Chapter 202: Genius Exhaustion

Dechar turned to look at Daniel in surprise.

She wasn't very familiar with Sally, and she wasn't Trevor who specialized in this part of the business, and now Daniel asked her questions, which, as a counselor, were obviously full of unconfidence, uncertainty, and even a certain negative connotation. In other words, Daniel now feels that it is "not so likely" that he will win the Ballon d'Or.

She had never seen Daniel so unconfident, neither in her service to him nor in his glittering resume.

This is a young man who is always successful and deserves to be "empty-eyed".

Deshar thought for a moment, and she sat down across from Daniel.

"Danny, it doesn't matter, does it?"

"Huh?"

Dechar's gentle expression and the intimate aura of his whole body really made the slightly restless Daniel relax a lot.

Until then, no one could see that Daniel was trapped in a kind of emotional black hole. Ever since he hired Sally, Deshar, Miller, and Sylm, and since the success of Greek Wedding, everyone on the team thinks he's gotten rid of the anxiety caused by being overly busy.

However, all did not go well.

Recently, he discovered that the ultimate source of this anxiety is actually the future.

As the time of his rebirth drew closer, there were still 12 years left as soon as possible, but the thought that four years had passed, a quarter of God's time, made Daniel feel uneasy. It's not entirely because of the fear of losing his advantage, which will lead to him being left with nothing and ruined, but in the next 12 years, he should be enough to get himself a lifetime of wealth and even a position to look up to.

Therefore, when he was almost paranoid to find the source of his anxiety, he found that it was actually "greed" at work.

He took a stake in Weta Digital, but the company wasn't going to do what he commanded. He only had a 20% stake, which made him feel powerless. Jackson, or Richard. Taylor. There are no plans to sell the shares. Therefore, he can't talk to the two major shareholders who have no desire to make cartoons at all, "Ice Age", "Kung Fu Panda", "Rio Adventure", and "Crazy Primitives".

He saved Blogger by transforming it into an integrated online community, and he introduced Google to it, giving Blogger an almost inexhaustible supply of high-quality entry, but a 16% stake in Blogger. It is no longer possible for him to compete with another shareholder, Google, for the future direction of Blogger, and even if he tries his best to make Blogger more advanced and future-oriented, the best interest does not belong to him.

He owns DD Pictures, a Daniel investment arm. It listens to conductors and has trusted executors, but Daniel can't do anything about the good movies that are buried in countless scripts, and he can't get his hands on all the good movies. Nor do they have the energy and ability to do so. In addition, he collaborated with Disney on "Pirates of the Caribbean", and now he even has to choose the best of the best to exit the blockbuster for a buyout price. Although it wasn't a wrong choice, it always felt like it wasn't good enough, and if the whole movie belonged to DD, it would be perfect.

He also has a 70 percent MB-variant of Twitter, with Javier as his designated CEO, and that's no problem. But in addition to Twitter, there are many more that will change the Internet in the future. BAT and Mi in China, Facebook and Instagram in the United States, etc. There are also tablets, smartphones, and so on that have influenced the world. It all seemed to beckon him. But there are some, he is destined to be powerless.

He already had so much that he instinctively didn't even want to have more. But when these opportunities are presented. But it seems to have to be done. For example, in Oscar month, his most important job is not to go to the Oscars to win the actor, but to go to the crude oil futures market to make a big profit, and the start of the Iraq war means hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue. Then that money is used to do more.

The torment he was inflicted on by this strange circle was unprecedented.

Whether it's Bill. Gates, or Steve. Jobs, they put their heart and soul into getting what they wanted. But it's still not the same with Daniel. Those things are what "he" wants, a rebirth advantage in his hands, a greedy person, a successful and strong person, but not a person who wants to be more familiar with himself and only do some work that he enjoys - such as filming.

He couldn't talk to Dessal directly, but he did want some guidance.

"Deshar, I mean, have you ever had such an experience? You have a lot of professional qualifications, but you only love cooking, and the rest is just because you have it at your fingertips, so that vanity, or the guilt that comes from not doing it, pushes you to get some certifications that you don't want to get without paranoia. ”

"Understood."

"Well, when it's not five, it's fifty, or even a hundred. The actual act of obtaining these certifications will contradict your own basic wishes, and you are still constantly taking new and enviable qualifications, but your disgust and anxiety about this behavior are also getting worse. I don't know if you can understand what I mean, but I think that's all I can describe. ”

Deshar nodded, thinking for a moment, but her professional knowledge told her that she couldn't leave the confidant there for too long, as it would make them think that the problem was very serious.

"Danny, let me briefly analyze it for you, if you think it's unreasonable, you can interrupt me and correct me at any time."

"I know."

"I think it's a kind of 'genius fatigue.'"

Daniel's eyes widened, "What kind of disease is this?" ”

"Exactly, it's not a disease. Of course, it is a psychological problem. Deshar looked at ease, which made Daniel feel a lot more relaxed, "In your specific case." Daniel, you are truly a genius and you already have success that no one of your peers can match. You seem to have a vision that spans careers, ages, and experiences, and you can achieve in many incredible areas. Think about it, if outsiders know that Mountain Eagle and MB belong to you, plus DD Pictures and Weta Digital, they will all lose their jaws. But it also brings up problems for you, like Marco. When Polo visits the East, all you can see is gold and wealth, and your original sin of success, wealth, and power in your heart is pushing you to expand your business territory, you may want to get involved in a chain of hotels, like Hilton, or make a new car brand with your girlfriend, and Porsche, or even real estate, retail stores, etc., I have no doubt that you can see some business opportunities that others can't see, which is enough to make you a lot of wealth.

The problem, however, arises that you, the American 'Marco. Polo is not a beast, or a computer program. You can't chase wealth all the time, without getting tired, without getting tired, no, it can't be. No one can do that. This creates a contradiction, a contradiction between original sin and God - one of the most fundamental contradictions in the world.

But the problem is not as serious as you think. Don't underestimate your ability to take control of yourself. At the same time, if you have a new and more prominent pursuit, such as winning three or five Oscars, or sleeping with all the Playboy cover girls, other wealth will automatically become secondary.

For example, Bill. Gates and Warren Buffett, they don't see any less opportunities for wealth than you-"

"It could be." Daniel interjected inwardly.

"But they don't get upset about it. The reason is not complicated, they understand one thing, and that is that concentration will make you more successful. Bill Gates could have gone and created a Walmart after Microsoft went public, but he didn't, did he? His wisdom and energy are used in the work of making Microsoft stronger. Daniel, what you need to find is a cause that allows you to put your heart and soul into it, rather than standing on a hillside and looking at the gold everywhere anxious. Find a place, dig down, maybe it's all better diamonds, and no matter how bad it is, there's better gold underneath. ”

Although Deshar's analysis is somewhat different from Daniel's problem, in fact, no counselor has been able to solve Daniel's problem. Because Bill. Gates doesn't know what a new successful Walmart will look like, he knows that Apple's mobile phone will rule the world, he knows that smartphones will change everything, he knows that Ice Age 3 will sell more than 900 million worldwide - but Regardless, Desal is right about two things.

Concentration, and self-control.

Concentrate on what you want and take control of your original sin of greed.

"Well, Deshar, thank you, you should have given you another salary."

"I don't object to that," Deshar glanced at Daniel's expression, "though I don't see that sudden realization on your face." In fact, you just need someone to try to solve the problem for you, not really expect your own problem to be solved, do you? But don't worry, I'm not the kind of counselor who chatters and always wants to dig out other people's hearts, not even a sperm left. Either way, it's good if you're happy. ”

"You're such a sharp lady, okay, now let me concentrate on filming."

……

Most of the scenes in "Pirates of the Caribbean" have been filmed, and Daniel portrays Captain Jack, and Johnny. Depp is very different, but they are all charismatic. Obviously, Disney's senior officials love Daniel's one more, so they spend money to supplement their investment, which is particularly refreshing.

Daniel's play has two weeks to go, which means he was able to basically finish filming before February, which is rare and reassuring news. (To be continued.) )
