In fact, with Roland's current status, buying the copyright is as easy as buying cabbage in the vegetable market.

People won't ask him why, because I want to.

Spielberg spent $60,000 in '81 to buy the wooden sleigh in Orson Welles' movie "Citizen Kane", purely because he liked it, and because children like to drive, he directly pushed the greenery in his manor into a track, and installed a traffic light starter, in order to let the children enjoy the childhood they did not have!

Kim Basinger, the guy who played Batman's girlfriend in Tim Burton's version of "Batman", spent 20 million to buy a small town, just to make it an attraction, but it ended in bankruptcy and liquidation; Nicolas Cage and Little Plum competed for a tyrannosaurus skull, spending twenty-seven and sixty thousand; Xiao Lizi's pet octopus at home costs 150,000 yuan.

For the general public, these tricks are simply crazy, but for them, it is just a reasonable consumption of interest, and many rich people look ordinary, it is because their wives are competing to show off their wealth, as for themselves?

The glittering gold you're wearing, a Hermes platinum bag, CL red-soled shoes, but the whole body is not as valuable as a wheel of my son's toy car - the guy in gold and silver just wants others to know about you, but the guy at the top of the pyramid just brushes his face, maybe the public doesn't recognize them, but when they go out, everyone will know them, and that's enough.

Because of this, when Roland talked about writing in a tone that the little ones were very interested in and I was very optimistic about you, she was already living in poverty, and at the moment Rowling in the clouds who had been shocked by excitement was directly speechless in surprise, but her sister, who had been encouraging her to write, wanted to seize the opportunity, and hurriedly promised for her sister: "Oh! It's just amazing! This really is the best New Year's gift! My sister has always loved to write, but she didn't go to a publisher because of family reasons......"

"Uh...... All right...... She actually has some emotional problems, and her writing is also intermittent, and she can get on the right track after the divorce, so she ...... It's probably going to keep you waiting for a while......"

Why did Spielberg become a rights harvester?

It's because people like to sell big and not small.

The success of his films has made the original authors a lot of money, and in this case, when he is interested in a work, the Hollywood giants will not want to compete with him unless they double the price.

And in the case that the old man did not throw an olive branch, Hollywood giants are more competitive than other second-tier companies to buy any IP, not only because they have money, but also because they have complete channels.

What "Twilight", "The Hunger Games", even if Summit Entertainment and Lionsgate bet ten times, they can't become Disney, because they have already lost at the box office alone.

These two companies do have global distribution channels, but in fact, unlike Disney, Warner, and Sony, which have established offices in each country, and Universal and Paramount, which have jointly established offices, the distribution channels of these second-tier companies are directly cooperating with local companies.

Even if you buy all the second- and third-tier companies in Hollywood, you won't be able to beat Disney.

Because the distribution channel is not controlled by itself, Disney can kill them in minutes!

In this way, Roland's interest is the best news for the Rowling sisters!

Better than what Oxford University Press or Cambridge University Press wanted to publish her work!

Because he's a celebrity! Celebrities with a banging fan base!

As long as he is willing to say a word of interest in front of the public, his work will be stable!

And as long as the work sells well, everything will fall into place!

Because of this, Roland, who understood why they were excited, was very calm, and he pretended not to know what Rowling's sister said, but asked in an unexpected tone: "Do you need help?" ”

As he spoke, he also turned his head to look at Cole Nedhan, who had already received sponsorship from Roland, and quickly answered, "If you need a divorce lawyer, or if you have custody issues, I can provide some help." ”

While the sisters looked at each other suspiciously, the bald man said, "Bristol, an engineer at Hewlett-Packard Labs. ”

"My friend." Roland added.

In my little Loli likes your story, in order for you to be able to write better and faster, I am willing to help you solve some problems that would have taken a long time, and the state of the Rowling sisters is the same as winning the lottery.

And after learning that Roland sponsored Cole Niedhand's website, the next thing was even simpler.

For Rowling, a mother who is determined to divorce and fight to the death for the custody of her children, the guy who can help her handle all this is a good person, leaving her contact information, and instructing Cole Niederham to contact the best local lawyer, Roland can clearly feel that Rowling's favorability groove has been filled.

The rest, naturally, is the same as for Mike Mohami and Cole Nedhan, just wait for others to come to the door.

Of course, he went to the café recommended by Cameron and drank a cup of extremely unpalatable coffee, and let Roland complete a favor investment, which was looked at by David, although he didn't know what nerves Roland had, and suddenly became very interested in a story that had just written the beginning, but it didn't matter - anyway, this was the story of buying for three daughters.

David is not blind, he is not surprised by the scenes where Roland often tells stories to his daughters, not only that, but his daughters often shake their heads and force Roland to say something new, and he is even more clear, since Roland can help himself and his wife reduce pressure and leave time for the couple to be alone, then why should he stop these things?

It's just a story, a reflection of family harmony.

As for James often sneaking and saying to him, Roland is interested in Elizabeth?

What kind of rumors are you making!

As soon as he thought of this, David swept his son with disgruntled eyes.

They are all boys, why is there such a big gap?

This kid from the Allen family has achieved financial freedom in five years, and my little ghost from the Olsen family, how can I even be stared at by people when I study?

People tell you stories to your three sisters, because they don't want them to disturb your studies!

Find you a tutor and ask for a teacher, just to let you not suffer the loss of no culture!

Such a simple truth, why doesn't this kid understand?

Do you have to say that Roland has bad intentions for Elizabeth?

I think it's you, the guy who wants Roland to wear a skirt, who has bad intentions, right?

The point is, you have to rely on deception to let your sister send a skirt, which is really embarrassing!

If David's thoughts were known to James, he would definitely jump to his feet in anger and confront Roland.

Roland, on the other hand, will show an innocent expression and push all the black cauldron onto the other party.

No way, who made you fail to live up to your father's expectations?

As for Rowling's side?

On the way back to the hotel as the big guy pressed the road, the sudden idea of collecting had already disappeared.

The reason why Roland remembers "Harry Potter" is purely because the other party's name is too big, and in addition to the main factor of fame, the classics in his memory are all famous-

Well, what are the masterless classics, such as "Transformers", Tom Cruise's "Mission Impossible", and Matt Damon's "Spy", but these Rolands are not interested!

Or maybe it's too low.

The project "Transformers" was originally done by Spielberg, and Kid Bao has maintained a good cooperative relationship with them since the seventies, and this IP really only has movie value, because the other derivative copyrights are all in the hands of Kid Bao, unless you buy Kid Treasure - forget it, just think about it.

To acquire a company with a market value of 10 billion for an IP?

It's not so bad to have money!

Besides, Roland has no money.

As for "Mission Impossible", the first one was filmed by Brian Palma of the Jewish Gang, and this series is very cannibalistic, plus Ah Tang and Paramount's history of tearing beeps, this thing is very embarrassing to get in your hands.

And "Spy Shadows" -

This was originally a project of the Jewish gang.

Spielberg number one producer Katherine Kennedy and his husband Frank Marshall bought the rights.

The entire series of five films was made by the couple.

Roland actually doesn't want to be idle, he wants to buy and buy like those predecessors who have crossed over, but the problem is that he doesn't need to spend money to buy and buy now! Because as soon as the time comes, these projects will appear in front of him!

You don't even have to rob it!

And all he had to do was to convince the old man to invest in these projects at the right time......

As for DreamWorks running out of money?

Are you kidding!

As long as he can move the old man, he can keep taking loans from ****!

Well, Roland confesses, the real point is that the derivative value of these IPs is far less than that of "Harry Potter".

But even so, he felt that the game "Earth Online" was too simple......

Those seniors who have passed through rebirth are really ashamed!

Everyone is hanging beep, why are you so spicy?

After ten days in England, they flew to Tromsø, Norway, the city of aurora that has been around for 10,000 years.

Tromsø is the largest city in northern Norway, located in the middle of the Aurora Ellipse, with a rich history.

Unlike in the Arctic Circle, where the temperature drops to minus tens of degrees Celsius in winter, Tromsø on the coast, thanks to the warm current of the North Atlantic, is much warmer than other regions at the same latitude, and when the group gets off the plane, the outside temperature is only minus four degrees.

With a clear goal, they drove straight to the Fairy Tale Valley.

There are outdoor tents with panoramic skylights, built-in fireplaces, and comfortable temperatures even on cold nights, so you can gaze out at the ribbons in the sky while lying in bed......

As soon as the temperature drops, the husky, whose IQ can regain the highlands, is the best working dog.

Erha, a fool who can heat stroke in Phoenix, is a serious manual worker in Norway, eight of them are tied together, and they are constantly howling wolves there, and then you can experience the joy of shaving when you sit on the sleigh.

Under the moonlight, a group of hairy children ran wildly, and they indulged in the cold wind with passion, and then-

Without goggles and a mask, Roland, who wanted to face the wind, was blown into a stupid beep.

“Fuck！ It's so cold! Roland, who climbed down from the sleigh, covered his handsome face.

"Humph! Deserve! Let you pretend! ”

James gave him a blank look, he just gave Roland goggles and masks, the problem is that Roland doesn't bring them!

Just when Roland blew his nose and understood what he had done, the three little loli who passed by him said, "Roland, let's go to the restaurant for dinner!" The tour guide just told us that the reindeer meat and salmon soup was delicious! And it's not cold after eating! ”

Huh!

That's a good boy!

As soon as he heard this, Roland was immediately happy.

glanced at James, who was full of sour taste, and directly pulled the little loli away.

In Norway, Roland did three things, watching the aurora, taking a husky sleigh, and renting a boat to go whale watching.

When the black-backed and white-bellied whale jumped out of the water and flicked its tail beautifully, Elizabeth, who was lying on the edge of the boat to capture the beautiful scenery, shouted excitedly, and when she held up the photos she took to show off to everyone, Roland suddenly felt that the charter fee of more than 40,000 dollars was worth it.

And after showing off, Elizabeth hugged his thigh again, "Roland~I want to raise whales at home~"

"Okay, I'll raise you when you're ten years old." Roland agreed.

Isn't it just whale farming?

What's not to do?

Bill Gates built a whale shark aquarium at home, and the total cost was only 97 million!

Although it is a bit much for him now, he can still afford it after saving for five years!

If you can't buy land, learn from Oracle founder Larry Ellison!

Spend 500 million to buy an island in Hawaii and build a zoo!

Build a zoo to support one billion, open source and reduce expenditure, and work hard to save or be able to do it!

At that time, if someone in the school invites Elizabeth to go out and say that I will drive you to the amusement park in a Maserati, then I'm sorry, my little cabbage rides killer whales to school! And we have an amusement park in our own house!

After going around Norway, the next thing is Sweden Finland, unlike the United Kingdom and Norway, these two countries have places where Roland wants to go, one is the Nobel Museum in Sweden, and the other is the Nokia headquarters in Finland.

After traveling between the two countries, the group headed south, to Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, and France.

They took a group photo at the bronze statue of The Little Mermaid, ate raw herring in wooden shoes, visited the ancient battlefield of Waterloo, and then specially bought a ton of potatoes and pulled them to the door of Ubisoft and gave them away.

Aren't you short of servers?

I've got you guys a ton!

Don't thank me, thank yourselves!

Originally, Roland planned to play for a month and then go back.

But by the time they had finished Spain and Portugal together, it was already mid-February.

This is still not the case of going to Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, and as for Eastern Europe, let alone thinking about it.

In the month and a half of playing, David took two hours out of the morning and evening to work, due to the real estate recession, the company is actually already doing leasing services, the Olson sisters' double star company, the clothing industry is also staring at it, and Roland's side, David Fincher's side is still changing the book, and the group will not be pulled until the middle of the year at the earliest, and Blizzard doesn't need Roland to care about it at all.

But even so, they had to go back.

Because James is starting school.

During his absence, the biggest event in Hollywood was the announcement of the Golden Globes.

The results did not exceed people's expectations, and this kind of propaganda outlet would not normally die.

As for the new releases?

Sorry, none of the new movies released at the beginning of '94 were eye-catching!

And when Roland returned the plane to George Lucas, the other party didn't ask him for the lease fee at all, not only that, but he also mentioned something else, "You remember to spare time for me on my birthday!" ”

The birthday that the bearded man said, it was naturally his fiftieth birthday.

Over half a hundred years old, what should be celebrated is still celebrated.

As a guy who retired after filming "Star Wars", he enjoys life better than anyone else, and for such an invitation, Roland naturally will not refuse, "No problem, May 14, how could I ignore this matter?" ”

Hearing his birthday, the bearded man laughed directly, "I heard you met an author in Edinburgh?" ”

"Want to publish a book for her?"

Roland can't just borrow planes, what pilots, flight attendants, and the staff in charge of route coordination are all bearded subordinates who spend money to raise, so where did Roland go, because something was delayed, he just asked a few words.

And it's no secret that Roland originally wanted to trouble the other party.

"Yes, I'll have to take your Lucas Books publishing then."

Aside from the toys, the Star Wars peripherals were all made by Lucas himself.

Lucasfilm has a publishing company called Lucas Books, which specializes in publishing picture books.

How well the peripherals of "Star Wars" sell, how wide their channels are, with such a company, Roland is still worried!

"Okay, you can just give me the manuscript when the time comes." Lucas didn't care, "Charge you the cost price, don't make you money." ”

Little brother's apprentice! Say that there is more money!

He can even give away "Raiders of the Lost Ark" for free, so what about helping Roland publish this book?

Besides, what kind of books can Roland's favorite books sell at this age?

Isn't what he likes what children like? And the books that children like are not popular at all!

In this way, instead of collecting the money from Roland's self-funded publication and pressing a bunch of goods in his hands, it is better for him to bring it!

If he really can't sell it, he will spend one or two million goods, which is only a month or two of living expenses for him, but he doesn't want this or two months of living expenses to discourage Roland's enthusiasm!

After all, in their business, holding copyright is the last word, Roland has this awareness very well, but it's best not to lose at the beginning!
