Roland admits that even if the co-founders of IMDb tell themselves about the existing technology in simple terms, and describe the structure and function of the website in detail, draw a blueprint for a future that seems to be unattainable, but seems to be achievable -

He doesn't take it to heart either.

As a guy who has been buying since $99 a year and is still renewing at $149.9, Roland knows better than these guys what the future IMDb will look like.

He doesn't eat the pie of these guys, and the technological innovation that these guys call ......

To put it bluntly, every time a new feature is launched in IMDb, it is actually an excuse to raise the subscription fee.

From the initial theater box office information, to the subsequent online business card, to the later TV drama interface, and then to the preparation information of new projects, with the continuous acceleration of the Internet, a series of various information such as the popularity of the artist, the popularity of the film, the peak of the trailer play, the keyword search of the script, and the example of the year of the script category are dazzling.

It is true that accurate big data is very helpful for many practitioners, for example, I want to write a horror film script, according to the keyword search, I can check whether my inspiration has been exemplified many years ago, or or, the producer wants to select actors, the age group is limited, the image category is limited, the mouse clicks, the resume that meets the requirements will appear in front of you like flowing water, if you want it to audition, you can directly click on the email address in the resume, and communicate with the other party, but—— For non-practitioners, these things are useless!

Could it be that you want to send emails through those work mailboxes and female celebrities?

Wow!

I didn't expect you to be such a Hentai!

I'm telling you, sending random emails will be banned from your account!

Roland, a decent gentleman, is at most looking at the popularity of the trailer, and then learned that many people's special choices were suspended in the scene where Elizabeth wore the comic book version of the Scarlet Witch outfit!

Well, right when those guys are taking screenshots......

Of course, even if Roland compares the functional upgrade of the IMDb database to Windows without changing the medicine, after all, in addition to upgrading Vista, from 32-bit to 64-bit system, which cannot be done with patches at all, other things can be the same as Arch Linux, rolling updates, rolling to wherever it counts, but still choose the version change, the biggest purpose is not to collect another money! Because of this, no matter how much the doctors fancy the future functions of IMDb, Roland didn't care about these things, he understood that Cole Niedham was the kind of guy who could stick to one thing for half his life, and in the face of this kind of person, he gave him money to do it, and he was more desperate than anyone else to get things done.

In this way, when Roland was buried in Cardiff University and listened to the doctor next to him, he only cared about one question in his left ear and out of his right ear, "Have you made your artist business card?" ”

"Writing a categorization page."

"Who's the number 1?"

"It's Fred Astaire, and I typed this because I was watching his voice over Easter Bunny."

That's right, the IMDb number is a fool's errand, they see where it is written, and it has nothing to do with status.

"Can that move me to number 1?"

"You?"

"yes, what's the problem? It's just that as soon as the list of artists opens, people see my name......"

"Oh! No problem! We can change it now! ”

Unlike future searches, there are still a lot of guys looking at the rankings this year.

And Roland asked them to hang themselves on the homepage, isn't it just for massive exposure!

Traditional media is still covering the sky with one hand, but after all, it is the Red Sea market where white knives enter and red knives come out, and News Corp is about to burn money and vomit blood when it runs a Fox TV network, so how could Roland do this thing again?

Although the blue ocean market of the Internet has not yet taken shape, the terrifying growth of netizens is the first piece of meat sent by the outlet.

In this case, Roland hangs his own information on the homepage of the most complete database at the moment, isn't it equivalent to hanging your name on the homepage of Weibo every day in the future? The first thing you see is you!

Netizens who know you will think, 'Hold the grass! This guy is really the most popular one! And the guy who doesn't know looks at it, it's 'Hold the grass!' I've heard this guy's name! Who is he? Can it be ranked NO.1 in the database? ’

Roland has never been the kind of guy who likes to hide and tuck, what overexposure can cause aesthetic fatigue?

That's when you show an image in front of the public for a long time, so the public will play when they see your work!

But what about now?

Roland just keeps his information in front of tourists, this non-subjective presentation, not only will not affect everyone's opinion of him, but also continue to attract people's attention!

What's more, today's netizens are still very simple, even if they think it's strange, they won't think about marketing, at most, they think that Roland's influence is too great, so big that many of the guys who visit the database every day are searching for his information!

As long as this situation continues, then even if someone questions Roland in the future, a bunch of guys who have witnessed history will jump out to defend the era they experienced back then, like what-

You little boys don't even know how popular Roland was back then! The first thing netizens all over the world do after entering the IMDb database is to search for his information! ’

'What hype? There was no such concept at all! The data was entered at random! The reason why he ranks first is because the influence is too great, and the first thing that comes to mind is him! ’

Do you grandsons know what a billion in '93 means? Do you know what it means to be 2.5 billion in three years? In which era Roland is placed, it is the existence of hanging everything! ’

'What boss isn't boss?' Roland was IMDb's original number one patron! People are for the better development of movies and the Internet! Why are you ** cubs so tough? Do you dare to say these things to your mother? I'm sure your mom will tell you, 'Son, the thing I regret most is not catching Roland!' ’’

Tut-tut, this question, your father's head can shoot "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf"!

Thinking that today's actions would allow him to gain a bunch of ancient blows in the future, Roland laughed happily, and after a simple replacement on the homepage, he cared about the development of the website, "200,000 used up?" ”

"No, we're renting a space to lay out the internet ......"

"Where can I buy a server?"

"In our volunteer team, there are people from IBM, and he takes the price of the equipment, which is cheaper than us."

"Oh, that's better, if there's anything you need, email me directly, don't let Mohami tell me in the future, and don't contact my assistant, everyone is a movie lover, don't be so angry!"

Hearing Roland say this, the guys at the scene laughed happily.

Who wouldn't want to be friends with a lot of money?

Especially this kind of big money that doesn't care about financial statements!

After dealing with the database side and mingling with them, Roland asked Cole Niederham to gather the British volunteers who had been serving the website for a long time, held a meeting, and invited them to a meal to strengthen their relationship.

Well, the reason why Roland showed up was just to give a hint to those guys who generate electricity with love-

I love it myself and support them very much!

If they do it well, they will look for themselves when they need funds, and if they want to give up, then think about whether it is worth giving up now, after all, if it is bigger, then the website with love power generation can instantly become the cause of the local boss!

I've worked hard for half of the time, so keep persisting more!

Giving up halfway, doesn't that mean that all the previous favorites have been lost!

Besides, you don't have to pay for it, and it doesn't force you to do things you don't like, but when you watch a movie every day, you record the information with your hands, and then after seeing the website records, when you look through the movies you haven't watched, you can review the right and wrong by the way...... A few minutes of hard work can not only satisfy curiosity, but also benefit the society, and save me money, what a good thing!

You can think of the website as the Moon Worship Sect Master, and think of yourself as Li Xiaoyao!

Shout that love is infinite, isn't this boss being pushed flat?

…………

After spending two days and getting everything done at IMDb, Cole Niedhand volunteered to act as a tour guide and take Roland around England, starting at Hallech Castle in Wales and heading west......

Bah!

To the west is to fall into the Irish Sea, to the east!

They went to Wiltshire first to see Stonehenge, which was almost blown up by an explosion in "Transformers 5"; Then I went to Oxfordshire and lined up to see the 18-carat clean toilet in Blenheim Palace, which was worth a million pounds; Then the cat went to Greater London, circled the River Thames twice, and let David and Garnetty take the three Olsen sisters and the paid James to visit Westminster Abbey, where a bunch of great men are buried, and the Tower of London, which has witnessed the dark history of Britain.

As for himself, why didn't he go?

Compared to looking at Stonehenge and looking at the toilet, there are too many people in London!

As a guy who walks into a pile of people and gets dug up in minutes, Roland doesn't want to be thrown into the Thames!

If it weren't for the fact that Coca-Cola's London Eye hadn't been built yet, Roland would have wanted to take Elizabeth on the Ferris wheel.

And now......

After waiting for them back at the hotel, the group turned north and headed north.

To be honest, Roland and the others came out to play, and they still saw well-known world heritage sites.

Like what bathing (Ba) (S) City, Durham Castle, Studley Royal Park, Canterbury Cathedral, these are the places they go - as for Rybus, skiing in Switzerland on Chinese New Year's Eve, eating dumplings for sixty-eight yuan a piece, two plates of one thousand three hundred and six, it will not appear on Roland at all!

There are countless places in America to satisfy their sporting needs, and if they were alone in the pursuit of one thing, they would no longer be wandering around England under the leadership of Cole Niederham.

To put it bluntly, for them, the so-called rest and vacation is actually just spending money to pass the time.

They can go wherever they want!

And in the absence of a purpose, it is natural to pursue those famous attractions, which naturally becomes the first choice, not only that, but it is actually a kind of accumulation for those who have not been to the place.

They don't have to remember the history here, they can also go around the lanterns to chase the beautiful scenery, and they can even feel that the place where the toilet is exhibited is really special and tasteful - but as long as they have been there, it is a kind of reward.

It's like a primary school Chinese teacher asking you to endorse a book.

Have you really memorized the meaning of all the ancient poems?

Not necessarily.

But when you see the view, you say, 'Oh, it's dangerous!' It's better than saying, 'Hold the grass!' Really high! 'Much better, right?' Although the meaning is similar, the perception is naturally different.

Of course, poetry is not the same as superiority, and if you think so, it is actually a kind of discrimination.

In Roland's view, what you gain from going around well-known scenic spots is not happiness and happiness, let alone an Internet celebrity check-in, but memory and analogy, the kind of basic materials that can strengthen human expression.

Many people feel that they want to express it but can't express it, which is a manifestation of stupidity.

But in fact, it's more of a lack of accumulation, you have a scene in your head that you don't know how to describe, the easiest thing is to give examples and analogies, find a famous reference, and let others understand what you mean.

Although this method is simple, it is also the embodiment of its own heritage, and if you continue to extend it in the case of visual accumulation, you will never have the situation where you want to express it but can't express it, until you give up expressing it.

And this kind of accumulation is also the easiest to achieve, because you don't need boring reading, just burn money.

What should I do if I go to a World Heritage Site and don't remember history?

It doesn't matter, you just have an impression, if you're really interested, then we'll fly over next time with historical research!

Interest is the best mentor, it allows you to take the initiative to understand the world, and money is just the bridge for you to realize your interest.

But Roland is just not bad for money!

Because of this, at the end of the trip to England and on the way to Scotland, the most harvested by the group was not actually a commodity, as long as it was a commodity that was put out for sale, it could be bought anywhere, and the photos of the moment in their hands were the most precious things, at least after many years, no one would say it-

‘I dont even have a picture of exists now only in my memory。 ’

Unfortunately, this comfortable environment did not last long.

As soon as I entered Edinburgh and settled into the booked hotel, I was discussing the next itinerary with Roland and Cole Niederham, preparing to go to Edinburgh Castle first, and then find a way to go to St Kilda Island, the only natural and cultural heritage in the United Kingdom, and the farthest settlement island on the British Island, when there was a knock on the door from outside.

When he opened it, the five-year-old little Loli was holding a big black bag and looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Roland—"

"Huh? Can I help you? Didn't you say that you would rest for a while and gather for dinner at half past six? The sweet and greasy voice made Roland a little puzzled, but he still dodged away and let the other party in.

"Yes, it's half-past six, but we're going to eat in new clothes......" Little Loli blinked.

"New clothes? What new clothes? Roland thought it was a little strange, "You just went to buy it?" ”

"That's right!" Xiao Loli nodded, "On the way we first came, there were a lot of locals, and they were all dressed well, so I asked my mother to take me to buy it, one set for each person......"

Oh!

It turned out to be a folk costume!

Roland, who understood, suddenly realized, "Okay, you give it to me, I'll ......change it directly later."

Roland didn't think there was anything wrong with wearing clothes with regional characteristics, or rather, local characteristics were the goal of their purchases, but at the same time as he took the bag, Elizabeth was still in place, looking at him with big watery eyes.

"What? Anything else? Roland asked.

"My brother said, I must watch you open the bag before I can leave." Little Loli told Roland the reason very honestly.

As soon as these words came out, Roland's eyes instantly narrowed, and in the corner of the porter, close to the door of Roland's guest room, the little fat man who was hiding at the door of his suite and eavesdropping suddenly covered his face with one hand, revealing pain.

However, just as he leaned against the door cover, sliding down in pain like a sloth, Roland, who felt that something was wrong, had already opened the bag.

Take a look at it, ......

Isn't this a tartan skirt?

Not only do you want Lao Tzu to wear a skirt, but you also want Lao Tzu ♂ to go into battle?
