Roland, of course, knows that IMDb is not short of money this year.

The reason why he said that was simply that he hoped that Mohami would find himself when he was short of money.

Not to mention that its founder, Cole Niederham, is a senior researcher at Hewlett-Packard, and the information he collected alone has to spend a lot of money to store and keep it, after all, not every family has the money to buy tens of thousands of movie tapes for their children, and no working-class parents can buy VHS recorders and expensive blank copies for their children's hobbies. But this kind of success, that is piled up with real money.

For Roland, these guys full of ideals and ambitions are worthy of respect, even if IMDb and Blizzard Entertainment are equally important to him, the former means data covering the world, and the latter means world-class IP, but if he has to make a choice, what he wants to contact is these people who work hard for their hobbies.

They are the real fighters, the fighters who fight for their dreams.

Of course, it's still too early to talk about IMDb and Blizzard Entertainment, two companies that have not yet been born, and they don't need angel investment so far, but even that's not stopping Roland from remembering them.

It's easier to dig up the treasure at hand than it is to find anything else.

When I think of the future, in the Internet era, all Hollywood practitioners are using their own IMDb......

That refreshing feeling, like the June sea breeze, dispelled the sleepiness at the same time, but also made Roland in the car squint his eyes.

That's right.

Roland felt that he had reached the realm of daydreaming.

After remembering the treasure boy Mohami in his heart, he was full of beautiful visions for the future, nestled on the plane and fell asleep.

Yes, the plane that Roland flew in the later announcement was a private jet.

Of course, this plane is not David Olsen, nor James Cameron, nor future Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, but Fox specially picked it up from the corner of the boss's hangar so that Roland can get to the field on time.

Since the newspaper tycoon Murdoch bought Fox in '84, their best achievement was "Flying Over the Future" by Spielberg's sister Annie and Tom Hanks in '88.

The North American box office of this movie has just exceeded 100 million, and the overseas market has only contributed 30 million.

Compared with this historical achievement, the appearance of "Home Alone" is enough to surprise Murdoch.

Although this achievement is not very important to him, the energetic subordinates let him see the determination of this group of guys to do a good job.

Therefore, when the people on the Fox side applied and hoped that they could get some convenience on the road in the follow-up publicity stage, this guy who is good at stocking directly asked the people from Fox to go to his own hangar to personally select them.

Anyway, those planes are placed there to watch, and they have to spend money on maintenance.

Pulling it out and opening it is not only convenient for subordinates, but also a good means to win people's hearts!

However, Roland was not very interested in these things.

He even felt that Murdoch didn't care about the cost of flying planes around at all.

You must know that although the breakup between Murdoch and Wendi Deng is not as big as the troublesome mom-and-pop shop in Dangdang, and the breakup amount is not as exaggerated as Bezos and his wife, the breakup fee of one billion US dollars is a real outflow.

Not only that, but after the divorce, this old man hooked up with Hollywood courtesan Jerry Hall, and when everyone thought that this woman with a love history similar to Murdoch was going to his wallet, Murdoch not only did not adopt the advice of his family, but married the other party, this behavior not only made his son helpless, but also told the world -

Lao Tzu is not bad for money!

For this kind of guy who believes that money can buy 'sincerity'.

Sensei said that he borrowed a plane, even if he gave Roland one for nothing, Roland would not be moved.

Of course, if the Fox Group is given to him for nothing, then-

He felt like he was trying to eat a fart!

However, even if Roland was not moved by Murdoch's behavior, when the matter got out, when he returned to the crew of "Terminator 2", he found that the eyes of the people around him had changed again.

If a week ago, those guys would care about Roland in all aspects, then now, these staff on the set even show a state of pleasing to the name.

For example, in the past, when Roland asked others for advice in the crew, they would tell Roland the scenery, lighting, camera movement and other reasons because of Cameron, but now, even if Roland didn't ask questions, just stood aside and watched how the other party operated, after filming that part, others would take the initiative to tell Roland why he wanted to shoot like this and what skills he used.

If Roland knew nothing about it, they would use local materials, show the similarities and differences of each angle in different directions, and directly burn a few or dozens of knives to let Roland understand his intentions.

This kind of behavior of being attentive to nothing also made Roland feel a little emotional.

Looking at Roland's helpless smile due to unaccustomed conditions, sitting with him and looking at Schwarzenegger who was guided by Cameron, Linda, he felt that there was no problem, "It's simple, this circle speaks by the box office." ”

"The better your film sells, the higher your status will be."

"The more people you make friends with, the more the guys looking down there will want to slap you."

"Before, when Steven and the others were silent, these people were not good at being too straightforward, but now, after the movie is released, they don't have to hide their thoughts, they want to be on the line with you, they want to be on the line with the small group of people at the top of the pyramid."

"Not to mention, when you went out to do publicity this time, you were still on Murdoch's private jet."

"When others know that the box office guarantee and the boss of the film company are optimistic about you......"

"Naturally, you can't escape the hospitality of those people anytime and anywhere."

"After all, smart people can see that after the final box office of "Home Alone" comes out, no one in your age group can compete with you for a book, and no parent of a child star will look for death to compete with you."

"Of course, Michael (Stallone) who sprayed you before was an idiot looking for death."

Roland laughed at the straightforward words, and he admitted that he was indeed a little unaccustomed to the change in the attitudes of the people around him, but the fact that Schwarzenegger said was a situation that he would encounter everywhere in the future.

Unlike those who are poor and white, when the guy who has a backer gets up, it is difficult to fall back.

It's like Master Leto wants to prevent Warner and DC from signing Joaquin Phoenix, threatening Warner with his music career and forcing them to axe the movie "Joker".

Master Leto wants to keep his role, but—

Even though his backers are David Fincher, Oliver Stone, and Robert Downey Jr. are friends with each other, and he also won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for "Dallas Buyers Club".

But together, they can't beat Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro, who Jackie invited!

Even thirty years later, no one has been able to snatch the project from the declining Jewish gang.

In the nineties, when the Jewish gang was in full swing, who would have pumped their brains hard?

Even if there are some blind guys, before they start making trouble, those investors have already killed them.

The profit-seeking capital knows better than anyone else, and who you choose can earn more.

"Arnold, how did you deal with all of this?" Leaning forward, with his elbows on his knees, Roland shook his legs and asked curiously.

"Coping? Why should you deal with it? Schwarzenegger turned his head in wonder, looked at the little ghost who pushed his gaze forward, looked at Cameron filming from afar, and said slowly: "Just enjoy all this......"

"Pick up the book you like, make the movie you like to make, and ask the questions you want to know......"

"All their flattery is your wayward capital."

"You just have to take every one of your movies seriously, as long as you can guarantee that your work can always make money."

"Then they will keep slapping you."

"You don't have to care about other people's feelings."

"Just do what you want to do."

Schwarzenegger's 'experience' made Roland raise his eyebrows.

Indeed, in this world of return on capital, the cow-beeping guy doesn't need to be afraid at all.

Relationships are all for their own people, as for the rest?

Jobs sprayed so many people, but in the end, people's evaluation of him was not 'to live to change the world'?

“Thank U。” Roland smiled and put the glass down.

Ignoring Schwarzenegger, who wanted to say something, he walked directly in the direction of Cameron.

Looking at the little guy who came up to Cameron's side and buried his head to check the monitor, Schwarzenegger shrugged.

'What a good child! ’

If you don't do it, who can take him down? ’

"However, looking at his posture, he shouldn't be able to do it......

'A doll who is about to turn eleven and only likes to deal with monitors all the time?' ’

'This is an attempt to usurp the throne!' ’

Just as Schwarzenegger was staring at Roland's back and sighing, the distant scene made him shake his head helplessly.

Roland squeezed out Cameron, occupied the other party's position, and buried the whole person in the second surveillance port, observing the live footage.

And Cameron, the tyrant, crossed his hands on his hips and yelled at Roland, who had snatched his place.

Although it was loud, but—

If this guy was really angry, he could have kicked Roland's chair off and made him fall into the mud.

But now?

The truck driver did nothing but scratch his head in a frenzy.

It's really more popular than people!

Thinking that he had worked so hard in Hollywood for so long, it was not easy to gain a foothold in action movies, but Roland could rely on his relationship to receive on-site teaching directly on the set of burning money, this gap in circumstances made him sad, but he also understood that some things could not be changed.

As the saying goes, 'All roads lead to Rome'.

But some people were born in Rome.

But compared to the guy who was born in Rome, the guy who was too lazy to go and built Rome directly in place is more terrifying......

The Jews, and the Canadians in front of them, were capable of building Rome.

Because of this, Roland, who is learning everything, doesn't know at all-

What exactly are you learning?

And just when Roland didn't listen to what was going on outside the window and was only focused on being a juicer, the days also came to December.

"Home Alone", which has been released for more than two weeks, has successfully exceeded the 150 million mark at the North American box office.

And this is also in line with Fox's expectations.

Parents in big cities are more likely to bring their children to the cinema, because going to the cinema to watch movies is the cheapest form of entertainment, and once the cheap way can promote family harmony, then these guys who are not bad for money will not refuse.

As for those economically underdeveloped regions?

It's more about following the trend and watching movies.

Since it is said in the daily news, how popular this Christmas celebration movie is.

Then they will naturally join in the fun when they have nothing to do.

And with their follow-up, the box office of the whole movie showed a reverse trend during the holiday, which was really eye-catching.

However, compared with the continuous fermentation in the American region, the overseas propaganda that has been brewing for many days is even more terrifying.

The first area to be screened is Norway, which is known as the "country of ten thousand islands", followed by Ireland and the United Kingdom, on the 14th, Sweden in the five Nordic countries also followed suit, on the 19th, the sound of the bell spread to France, on the 21st, the Netherlands, Greece, Denmark appeared Christmas sound, and on the evening of the 22nd, this wind finally came to the hometown of Santa Claus -

Finland.

As of Christmas, the movie "Home Alone" has successfully landed in 26 countries and regions around the world, and its global cumulative box office has directly stood at 300 million.

Considering the upcoming Christmas holidays and the thirty-five countries and territories that Fox has not yet contacted......

Almost at the same time, all the forecasters raised their box office forecasts for the entire movie.

500 million in the world is no longer a dream.

All it lacks is time.

However, the more popular "Home Alone" is, the more headaches others have.

The first one who suffered greatly was "Three Dads and a Baby".

Although it is also a special film to celebrate Christmas, with the jade pearl of "Home Alone" in front, there are not many guys who go to the theater to watch "Three Dads and One Baby", so that after the end of the first weekend, the box office did not break 10 million.

The second unlucky one was Arnold Schwarzenegger, who had a good relationship with Roland.

Before filming "Terminator 2", he rushed to produce a "Kindergarten Detective".

As a commercial film that mainly harvests the box office, it is really rough in terms of production.

If it weren't for the relationship with Roland, the theater chain wouldn't even want to give too much film scheduling.

And its results are also very poor, three days after its release, the box office can exceed 10 million.

Even if Christmas Eve is coming, the number of films scheduled for this movie is still being released by theaters and ruthlessly divided to "Home Alone".

In addition to these two films, the films released during the hit "Home Alone" are "Edward Scissorhands" by Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, and "Ask the Sky Speechless" by Robert De Niro and Robin Williams.

But it's a pity that even they have become the ghosts of "Home Alone".

The North American box office of about 50 million given by the prediction agency is completely inconsistent with the identity of these bigwigs.

And when the box office grows longer and higher, and those predicted data are no longer cold numbers on paper, there are more and more problems that follow.

When Cameron announced a holiday, and during the Christmas period, they went back to their respective homes to find their mothers, and everyone returned to the group to report and continue filming on January 5, when Roland returned home and just gave the gifts he bought to those friends at home, and before he could hug David, he heard the 'good news' thrown by the other party.

"Congratulations, millionaire under eleven."

"Fox rushed to the box office bonus for the first part before Christmas Eve."

"300 million global box office corresponds to 3 million box office bonuses, all this money is yours."
