Chapter 394: Feedback
"Yes, I met Roland Allen and his wife last night and spoke with them about everything lately.
After a two-hour dinner, we became friends, and I finally figured out why they were announcing their retirement.
Because, they want children.
According to Kate, after Roland officially proposed to her, the two considered the wedding and children, but they both had jobs at the time and couldn't spare time to prepare for the wedding, so they delayed it until this year.
And when preparing for the wedding this year, the two discussed that after having children, as parents, they should accompany their children to grow up together, so Roland had the idea of retiring, and after careful thinking, he finally made the decision to withdraw from the circle.
What the? You say that growing up with children and making movies are not in conflict?
Yes, yes, yes, I thought so at first, and I told them that, but it wasn't until Roland told me that the luckiest thing in his life was that the Olsons were able to raise themselves like their own parents, that I realized how important a complete family of origin is for a child who grows up in an adoptive family.
Although the Olsons loved Roland, the loss of his parents was an eternal pain in his life.
The most empathetic thing for me was when I was 10 years old.
When the child's worldview was just beginning to be established and needed to be guided by his parents, Roland's parents had already gone to heaven.
It is precisely because he has personally experienced the pain caused by the absence of parents to his children, so after deciding to have children, he hopes that he can shoulder the responsibility of a father, and if he takes care of the job of being an actor who needs to leave home for a long time in this case, then he believes that this is a perfunctory to his children, and it is also disrespectful to the audience and fans who love him.
Belch...... You mean, the shadow will only make the economic problem worse?
Oh! I have also learned about this matter, but everyone may have forgotten that he holds a certain amount of Berkshire Hathaway stock, and this amount made him sit next to Bill Gates at the Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting in '98.
Hahaha~Yes~Yes~ I also think that he made this responsible decision when the economy allowed.
Not only that, but I also learned that Steven Spielberg, who gave him a marriage in the wedding easter egg of "Spider-Man 3", was also one of the factors in his decision to retire, I think many people already know that Steven Spielberg signed a work contract with DreamWorks when he founded DreamWorks, never worked overtime, and went home on time, because the children needed his company.
That's right, these are the real thoughts of the Allens.
Yes? Do you wonder why he didn't announce his life plan in person?
I didn't ask him this question, but according to last night's contact, I found that Roland is actually a very cautious person, as a popular actor, he insists on spreading positive energy to the public, which can be seen from his works over the years - "Home Alone" series to convey family affection to people, "Terminator 2" gives single-parent families strength, "Jurassic Park" makes people see responsibility in special effects blockbusters, "Titanic" shows people sincere love, " "Saving Private Ryan" is narrating the brilliance of human nature, and the "Spider-Man" series allows us to see the feelings of family and country in the process of the birth of superheroes, I think, maybe it is because the ideas that "Spider-Man 3" wants to convey are too grand, so he is reluctant to announce his life plan in the form of a direct announcement.
Yes, even during the tense election, I went to see Spider-Man 3.
What attracted me was, of course, the last line!
That's right! The line 'My DNA is not DNA, but USA' is too domineering!
And if the first two are linked to it, the core idea of the entire "Spider-Man" series is very clear.
Face up to your abilities! Recognize your responsibilities!
When you have the power to decide people's life and death, good and evil are actually in a thought.
Although no one will force you to take such a responsibility, your heart will make you make the final choice, as long as you have the slightest bit of patience, you will not be able to take a step and walk away!
Yes yes! I'm really excited right now! Because I feel like I've found a soulmate!
Over the past year, I've been emphasizing to people that if I am elected, I will implement a 10-year tax cut of nearly $16 trillion to reduce the 15 percent tax for low- and middle-income families to 10 percent to improve their lives, and increase the standard deduction for married couples and reduce the joint filing tax rate for married couples.
Not only that, but I'm going to increase the per-child tax credit and the credit that qualifies for child support, because children are our future, and we can't let people have problems with raising children.
In addition, I will urge Congress to remove the limit on the duration of student loan interest deductions as much as possible, because I believe that the most effective way to promote development is to give people peace of mind to receive education.
In my opinion, proposing relief measures and promoting its existence is what a Grand Commander should do.
If we don't think about the people when the economy is rising and the budget surplus is rising, then what's the point of us clinging to the economy?
As explained in the "Spider-Man" series, when you are not capable, of course, you can't take into account the needs of the public while developing, but when you are capable, it is your responsibility to guard the world as much as possible!
That's right, I'm now grateful to James Cameron and Roland Allen for bringing us such a perfect Spider-Man franchise, which gives us a clear picture of what kind of people are those who resist tax cuts and refuse to bring more benefits to the people, they are selfish demons who only want to destroy the world! ”
Since he threw a lot of resources at the candidate of the Elephant Party, it became a matter of course to accept the other party's invitation to meet, and after telling the other party about his mental journey of making the decision to retire, the next day, this guy publicly accepted an interview with the Elephant Party's special media FOX, and made the fact that he was combined with the election campaign public.
Of course, Roland has no idea about such a vote fraud method.
Because what he really cares about is actually the explanations that belong to him.
After all, even if Roland used a combination of vertical and horizontal means to divide the fan base, shifting their attention from 'why did he quit the circle' to 'he really quit the circle', but after the fans calmed down, they will still return to the original point and re-entangle the first question, and in this case, the outbreak that has been suppressed for a long time may not be as intense as the direct announcement, but the negative impact will eventually appear, so that solving this problem before this time has become what Roland must do.
And playing the family card of children and families to the people is the result of Roland's careful consideration.
Because it's just a simple withdrawal from the circle, no one will be satisfied!
But if you tie up the child, then the contradiction is the fans!
On the one hand, Jack and Ruth hold hands and get married, which is the beauty that fans expect, and seeing their children and grandchildren full of them is a continuation of happiness;
On the other hand, it is also their appeal to hope that Roland will continue to act, and it is the expectation of fans to watch Roland produce more works.
In the case that the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, what should fans choose?
If you choose a full house of children and grandchildren, it is to support Roland's retirement!
If you choose to continue acting, it is a denial of the continuation of happiness!
You can't have it both ways!
In this case, whatever the fans choose, it's all wrong!
In this way, Roland was able to get out smoothly.
Of course, it was actually "Titanic" that created all this!
This will make them ......
Eat the dividends of a lifetime!
It is precisely because Republican candidate Bush has openly publicized the idea that Roland and Kate are trying to have children, so fans attracted to love have made the box office trend of "Spider-Man 3" even more terrifying.
In the first four days, the North American box office was 240 million, although the daily box office continued to fall, but the trend of slaughtering the list is still unabated.
At the same time, because of the arrival of Thanksgiving, even "Spider-Man 3" is not the kind of movie that can make people crazy dozens of times in a row, but in the next week and seven days, it still attracted many foreign audiences to enter, cutting a box office of 160 million.
And in the last four days of the end of November, at the critical juncture of two weeks after the movie was released, fans contributed another 20 million to the total box office, pushing the total box office to 42 million!
Sixteen days!
26 million a day!
An average that is higher than the first-day box office of other films!
Such an achievement makes peers eager to find a piece of tofu to crash to death!
However, with the arrival of December, the North American box office space of "Spider-Man 3" has peaked, and in the case of many movie fairy fights, "Spider-Man 3", which has burned all its potential, has lost the opportunity to pile up the box office to 500 million.
But even so, when the local news appeared overseas fermentation, the overseas market that listened to the whole story at one time showed vitality, and when more than 60 countries and regions around the world were released at the same time, the overseas box office on the first day floated to 100 million!
Although this outbreak is like a flash in the pan, with a maximum life span of half a month, on the basis of 100 million on the first day of the overseas box office, it is still easy for the whole movie to reach 1 billion, if fans work hard......
Then Roland may be able to leave the scene with the title of 10 billion actors!
Of course, this kind of false name may be of great significance to fans, because they who don't want to leave regrets may really pay out of their own pockets to pile up records, but for Roland, real money is the biggest meaning.
Therefore, at the same time as he took Spider-Man away, Marvel also announced that it would create a new single issue of Spider-Man, based on the plot of the movie, and continue to write the new story of good neighbor Peter Parker.
The price is five dollars and nine cents.
As soon as this news came out, in just three days, the number of new issues had exceeded 100,000.
Don't look at this number multiplied by the price, it can't even be compared to a fraction of the box office, and compared with the sales volume of the original Spider-Man magazine, which is often million, the result is only a pitiful tenth, but this is a new world, and it is already very good to have such a start!
Not only that, Blizzard also announced that they have obtained authorization from Marvel and the producer to create ACT games based on the "Spider-Man" movie series, inviting James Cameron as a special consultant, based on the script, improving the entire game worldview, and trying to complete the villains such as Kim Ju who appeared in the movie but did not show it perfectly.
On top of that, they wanted to increase the freedom of the game, thinking about giving the player control over the story and rewriting everything.
Including, but not limited to, preventing the deaths of Ben Parker, Gwen Stacy, George Stacy.
Similarly, they have opened a service for early investment on Amazon.
Interested players only need to purchase the early access rights on Amazon for nine cents, and as long as they pay the full amount of the game as required by Blizzard before the release, they will receive the game disc three days earlier than the regular player, and they will be able to get early access.
When this partnership came out, Amazon's servers were almost overwhelmed by enthusiastic gamers!
Compared with the pre-sale of the manga that broke 100,000 in three days, the cheaper early access right attracted the attention of more than 300,000 people!
No way, after launching "Warcraft", "StarCraft", "Diablo", "Give Him Love", "Medal of Honor" and other popular models, Blizzard's fame has surpassed EA, and it is a representative of high-quality products!
Even if it's a new series, sell it with your eyes closed, it's all a million starts!
Now, they have a dream linkage with Marvel again.
If James Cameron can be brought in again, no one doubts the quality of the plot!
And after seeing this hot situation, the most excited thing is not the boss Roland, but Time Warner.
Time Warner has always hoped that he could create this kind of classic character that is influential and can make money with his eyes closed, and the real achievements of Spider-Man have given them hope.
If before, they still wanted to make a fuss about female superhero movies, but now, after discovering the classic case of marketing being king, they have made up their minds to let Roland choose arbitrarily.
Whatever role Roland wants, they will give him whatever role!
Not only that, but they also officially halted all DC-related character development within the company.
And when there was an objection within the company, the outsourcing faction choked the self-employed faction half to death with just one sentence-
"Choose one of the film quality and publicity strategy, whoever can come up with a plan that is half of Roland's realistic performance, I will let whoever do it!"
Be reasonable!
Half of Roland's results, that's 500 million!
If they have the ability to make a project of 500 million, then who is still here!
It's a pity that Time Warner is in a hot situation, and for Roland, it has no impact.
After clarifying his sponsorship relationship with Bush to a group of capitals, the matter of DreamWorks shares also came to an end.
Roland bought 24.1 percent of David Geffen's shares for $240 million.
Officially stationed in DreamWorks!
While Microsoft, which is integrating Yahoo, has some thoughts on Roland's approach, it comes after considering that Roland is already on the cards and that 25 percent of the shares of Sony, Amperin, and Warcraft Films are still in his hands......
Paul Allen immediately extended a warm welcome to Roland on board.
Of course, welcome is welcome, and the market is the market.
After confirming that Roland had ideas about their proposal, he also sent an offer to Li Meijing, the smallest shareholder in DreamWorks.
I want to take away her shares.
Just like the penguins have continuously cleared the tiger teeth and betta fish, after the market pattern has been clear and officially entered the harvesting link, letting the small shareholders get out of the way has become the favorite thing for big capital.
After all, it is the most beneficial to monopolize the cake.
If you don't have the strength to keep the shares in your hand, then don't want to sit with us and share the cake!
Such a situation also made Li Meijing helpless.
Although she is the vice president of CJ Group, which is backed by Samsung, how does Samsung compare with Microsoft?
To put it mildly, in the event that the US-South Korea Mutual Defense Treaty cannot be resolved, your stuff is my stuff!
Buy, that's all for your face!
