About the movie "Titanic", there is actually a magical thing.

When it was first introduced in '98, it was actually ready to sneak away.

Because I'm worried that the scale is too big, the audit can't be done!

However, on March 10, 98, an article called "I watch "Titanic"" was published in the "Yangcheng Evening News".

It's just that only 300 copies were theoretically made back then, but theaters across the country had to release them, so many copies actually appeared out of thin air inexplicably in various ways, and these copies were all uncut.

So there is no difference between the original version and the 3D version, theoretically speaking.

The so-called uncut, but some copies were added by DuangDuangDuang back then.

Roland is not surnamed Zhao, of course he is not one of the three hundred warriors, so when the hot-blooded young man sees that painting, that kind of shot is more exciting than the soldiers in "Saving Private Ryan" looking for their severed limbs and skinning people in "Red Sorghum".

As for what is a painting?

That's the Heart of the Ocean, of course!

Well, Roland didn't believe it himself when he said it......

However, the close-up of Kate wearing the Heart of the Ocean was drawn by the truck driver himself in her previous life!

Xiao Lizi's painting skills were very bad, so the truck driver took it himself, and according to their own words, there were bikinis at that time.

But what does this have to do with Roland?

As a contestant with zero points in the sub-lens and a perfect score for portraits, the truck driver actually gave him this job?

Hold the grass! The skills that were idle and boring back then came in handy!

Roland, who was still very sleepy, became excited, but before he could start thinking about it, Kate, who had already entered, turned back and looked at him curiously, "What did James tell you?" ”

"Ah, it's nothing, it's just that he refused my offer as a producer." Roland didn't want to tell the truth.

Seeing Roland's helpless look, Kate snorted and laughed, not taking Roland's words seriously at all, and pushed him back into the hotel, "Arnold told me that you and James have a very good relationship." ”

"Now I look at it, it's true."

"Go back and catch up on sleep, call you for lunch at half past eleven, the beach here in Ensenada is still quite beautiful, you can go for a walk."

"Okay, no problem." Roland agreed, smiling, and throwing away all the messy thoughts in his head, "The guest you invited last night will be mine after that." ”

"Wow, you're still counting on me to tell you split the bill?"

Kate agreed happily, "According to your spending standards, will my salary last a week?" ”

"Although I understand your thoughts very well, because I didn't have much money in my hands when I started filming, but ......" walked into the elevator and stood still, as the door closed, Roland also turned his head to look at the girl behind him, "I still want to tell you, compared with life, money is really not important, Warren Buffett has lived long enough, right?" But he hasn't even seen a stock market circuit breaker, but I'm different, but I'm sure I'll be able to witness more history than Warren Buffett......"

"Puff ......" Kate laughed loudly at the old preaching, leaned on Roland's shoulder, and said, "You are so cute......"

…………

Since the truck driver dared to make a fuss with Roland on the filming location, there were actually few true words in what he said with Roland, the so-called half-year preparation period, it was all bullshit, mainly to set aside time for building a studio, to give Kate Winslet a certain amount of weight gain time, and also to leave her time to attend the awards ceremony.

That's right, when Roland and Kate experienced the customs of Mexico on the first day, the other party had already told him about his schedule - on February 15, she was going to attend the opening ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival with the crew of "Sense and Sensibility", and her aunt had already communicated with Sony, and would PR Golden Bear, if nothing else, Ang Lee, who had a good relationship with Roland, would win the award again;

Not only that, on March 25, she is going to the Oscars, as the nominee for Best Supporting Actress, even if she is an escort, she has to show up, otherwise, maybe what the news will say;

In addition, she will attend the 49th British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards on April 23, and if there are no unexpected circumstances, she will receive her first major award.

To be honest, even if Roland doesn't care about these things, he is still envious when he hears Kate cautiously say that his family has helped him with public relations and has a good chance of success.

The British Oscar said that he would take it, and it would be the same as his own home.

"Oh, are you burying me?"

Standing at the top of the Pyramid of Castillo, a ruin of the Mayan civilization, and looking at the jaguar crown of the Quetzalcoatl God King, carved in stone and painted red with jade dots, Kate smiled and raised her foot and kicked Roland.

"If you want to hit the Oscars, will they help you with public relations?"

"Of course they will help me with public relations, but my acting skills are normal, so I won't join in the fun." Roland didn't dodge, so he had to hook his leg and pat his trouser leg, "I said, why do you like to kick people?" ”

Kate ignored him, raised the camera to record the stone sculpture in front of him, and then pulled Roland back along the tunnel he came, "Then you are not going to win the prize in the future?" I think the movies you've acted in are pretty good......"

In the past ten days, Roland and Kate have already broken away from the large crew and walked around Mexico.

Whether it is Teotihuacan, the birthplace of the gods, or Guanajuato, the colony of mariachi bands, or the Copper Canyon Brown and Red Hemp Train, there are their footprints on it, not only that, but they also bought handmade silver jewelry in Taxco, where Kate now wears a necklace and bracelet, and tasted the local specialty mole bell-shaped green pepper in Puebla, although Roland repeatedly imitated Jerry Guo's words and told the other party 'This is not spicy, this is not spicy', but Kate, who can't eat spicy, is still spicy and cried.

Of course, he naturally chased Roland and wanted to beat him afterwards.

During the whole trip, except for the accompanying bodyguards and assistants, and the guys who knew the inside story, they didn't bring any of them.

And it is this guaranteed degree of freedom that makes both of them very relaxed, and when he led Kate to let her be careful about the stone steps under her feet, Roland also replied: "Don't coax me, my movies are all character-oriented......"

"The protagonist is already likable, and the selling point is the exciting process, so the requirements for acting skills are still very low, and a guy like you who grew up on the stage since childhood, it can't be compared."

"If I had good acting skills, I wouldn't have begged James to spare you half a year to cooperate with me to find a feeling."

"Really? Are you sure it's not a fake public servant chasing me? ”

Kate lowered her head and jumped down the stone steps in a rabbit jump.

"So what, would you refuse?" Roland, who was holding her, was also infected by that happy way.

"Of course not, and not only that, but I'll give you a chance." Kate raised her head and looked at Roland with a smile, "If I'm not mistaken, before the movie started, you didn't have anything else to do except the premiere of "Spider-Man"?" ”

"If that's the case, will you come with me?"

"Yes." Roland didn't care, "I'll go where you go, but...... I don't participate in the event......"

"No problem, it can't affect "Spider-Man", I understand ......" Seeing that Roland readily agreed, Kate happily played rabbit jump again, and before she jumped twice, she seemed to think of something She stopped, tiptoed up, and clicked on the water.

Blaze touched lightly, her hair brushed her cheeks, and seeing the surprised look, Kate, who had succeeded in stealing food, showed a fox-like smile, directly broke free of Roland's hand, and staggered down, "The thank you gift has been given!" ”

Roland, who came back to his senses, touched his lip with his index finger and looked at the back of the fast escape, "Are you so perfunctory?" ”

"Perfunctory?" The figure in the distance made a teasing voice, "You will know that I am not perfunctory when you catch up with me......"

…………

A+list has inventory, that's really normal, even a Buddhist player like Roland can shoot one after another, not to mention other filming machines, they may not be playing, but the schedule is full.

In this case, it is normal for the previous film to have a conflict with the existing project, and at this time, the Hollywood producers will make adjustments very tacitly, so that the existing project will give way to the publicity and distribution of the released film.

Before the advent of the mobile Internet era, the personnel announcement of new movies will generally be announced after the stock is released, so as to maximize the interests of all parties - the public's vision is limited, and they will also compare, if the release news of "Spider-Man" and the start of filming of "Titanic" are put together, then people will naturally make analogies, and after Roland's fans find out the difference in the lineup, it is inevitable that there will be an automatic diversion of the fan base.

Female fans are looking forward to his romance films, and the heroine of "Spider-Man" is not as beautiful as the heroine of "Titanic", so they may have a situation of standing still and waiting patiently; Although male fans are not naturally interested in romance films, they still have the eyes of beautiful women, and if the two lineups are put out at the same time, then they may not be so interested in "Spider-Man......

After all, with "Spider-Man" having such a luxurious lineup, the heroine is even more shabby than "Titanic"?

Isn't this a clear blow to the enthusiasm of fans?

Therefore, it is necessary not to interfere with each other.

Of course, Gwen's appearance is not as good as Ruth, which is actually within the scope of the truck driver's consideration.

From a business point of view, the selling point of "Spider-Man" is Peter Parker himself, so it doesn't matter if the heroine is ordinary, and in the case that the male protagonist of "Spider-Man" and the male protagonist of "Titanic" are both Roland, the progression of the heroine's appearance is actually easier to stimulate fans to enter the theater......

Because after watching "Spider-Man", after watching "Titanic", they will have a feeling of brightness -

Sure enough, the casting director of "Spider-Man" is a brain-dead, and the heroine of "Titanic" is worthy of my Roland. ’

When this psychology appeared, fans were actually hooked.

Just like some merchants don't put the best products on the market the first time......

That's right, you're talking about it!

Toothpaste factory!

…………

And just when Roland was ordered to find a feeling, David Olsen was about to snort bald.

Roland doesn't care, he has to take care of it, right?

In mid-December 95, after "Warcraft 2: Black Tide" was released and listed through EA's channels, in just two months, 300,000 sets were sold in North America alone, so gratifying sales made the general manager of the tool man have to find David and tell him about the hot record, and David doesn't understand the game, plus Roland completely decentralizes, so he ......

He had no choice but to find Spielberg and ask this kind of hardcore player if he had any good publishing experience.

And after learning that the PC sales were so explosive, the old man was also curious to ask for a game to learn to play by himself, although the operation is not flexible, but decades of video game experience told him that this will definitely become a hit.

So, the old man personally called Tripp Hawkins, the founder and chairman of EA, and asked them to accelerate the sales of Warcraft 2: Kuroshio in Europe.

Truth be told, EA was reluctant until the call was received.

As a major game manufacturer, they naturally see the value of "Warcraft".

They would rather buy Blizzard from Roland than continue to release it, but ......

With the old man's call, EA gave up.

Tripp Hawkins knows very well how much Spielberg loves games, and since the game company is owned by his students, and the old man likes it, then it is a dream to buy the company.

In this case, it is better to be a publisher to make money, after all, the old man has many game channels, EA does not cooperate, and there are other companies.

In addition to the game, Blizzard's acquisition of Condor was also carried out under the watchful eye of David.

After the acquisition, Condor changed its name to Blizzard North and became a subsidiary of Blizzard Entertainment.

Although it is a wholly-owned acquisition, the incentive clause that Roland has prepared for it is still in place.

As long as the company can make a hit, the founders have the right to buy the company's shares at a very low price.

The reason why Condor sold so quickly was purely because the Blizzard triumvirate had repeatedly said that the big boss Roland didn't care what they developed at all, as long as the idea was interesting, their game project could be established.

Without interfering with the founder's creation, it was also written in the terms of the acquisition.

Of course, if it's just a Blizzard, that's fine.

As soon as the matter on Blizzard's side was dealt with, David had to sign Roland to acquire "Red Fan Zone".

If this kind of project only requires a lawyer to review the contract and have him sign it, then the phone call from England that followed made his scalp tingle.

After more than five years of unpaid operation, the founders of IMDb finally couldn't hold on, with the popularity of the Internet, in the face of the snowball-like increase in visits, they were embarrassed to open their mouths, and let Roland Bai sponsor them to buy servers, because according to their calculations, this wave of updates, the servers alone will eat two million.

So, after discussing the 21 gold vita combination, they finally made the decision to commercialize.

They are willing to register the company and sell 67 percent of the shares.

The only requirement is to hope that Roland can let them continue to complete their beloved business.

When David, the businessman, heard this outrageous request, his whole head was empty......

Hold the grass!

What kind of people are Roland looking for!

Isn't it just to make money by starting a company?

Why are these guys still talking about their dreams when they are commercialized!

Shouldn't you ask for money, money, money, and then get away with it?

Why is the first requirement in the acquisition negotiation to make the company develop better?

Even if you keep the shares, you are still a minority shareholder!

How can it be the same as the company is my home, and the development depends on everyone?

David couldn't understand the thoughts of these guys who were generating electricity for love, but with these guys talking so well, the acquisition was carried out extremely quickly, and IMDb was valued at 25 million, 67 percent or 16.75 million, if nothing else, those shareholders who got the money would be promoted to millionaires in an instant.

Of course, according to Cole Niedham's strong request, they signed the contract on the same day as the Oscars in '96, so after signing the letter of intent to acquire and agreeing that the first thing to do after the commercialization of the website was to push Internet ads for "Spider-Man", David hurried back to San Francisco.

When Yahoo makes the next round of financing, the previous round of investors has the option to continue investing and receive at least the number of new shares that are proportional to their current equity ratio, and they need to attend Yahoo's financing meeting.

And the investors who also exist in the field are also two chiefs who found them themselves, Sequoia Capital, the hottest investment company in Silicon Valley, and Masayoshi Son, who wears the same pants as Sequoia Capital.

There's no way, who let Yahoo, which burned money, have such a large number of users?

Of course, for David, keeping 20 percent is victory.

As for how much of the founder's stake was diluted?

Does this have anything to do with him?

Anyway, for David, since he beat Roland and left, every day he opened his eyes, he just wanted to figure out how to help Roland spend money.

And when he thought of the content reported by those bodyguard assistants - Roland and Kate played in Mexico, his heart was sour...... And he was finally able to understand his son's feelings.

James used to sour Roland, and that was because Roland was playing while he was in class.

And David is sour Roland now, that's because when Roland was dating a girl, he was making money for him!

Why!

Let's be reasonable!

I don't want to fly around in the sky anymore! I also need some time alone with my wife!

But even after complaining and throwing money at Yahoo with Sequoia Capital, he still took on the burden of being the head of the family.

did not return to Los Angeles immediately, but flew to Seattle, Washington, according to the cooperation email received by Shouwang Ventures.

Because he was interested in a bald project.

That's right, it was without contacting Roland that he found himself interested in an Internet project.
