Chapter 289: Roland Salted Fish Allen
As the saying goes, it's cool to hold your legs for a while, and it's always cool to hold your legs.
After spreading everything out, Roland suddenly felt that there was an extra layer of BUFF called 'Happy Salted Fish' on his body - he was almost swinging in the backyard.
For him, the first half of '98, which was the crazy realization after years of PY trading, belonged to a happy harvest period.
Lie there, you can earn money, take a photo, and you can collect your name.
Hiss......
That's not right!
How can there be a *** rush in this?
But for the general public, the world in the first half of the year was colorful.
They not only saw the complex love history of Zipperton, saw the lustful character of the Grand Commander and the understanding and tolerance of the Grand Commander's wife, but also witnessed the birth of the love of the century and the marriage proposal of no one before or since.
These things can attract countless eyeballs when they are pulled out, not to mention that when the two extremes of one positive and one negative appear at the same time, the vast number of people who incarnate as the melon-eating masses are immediately fed and burped.
Eating sweet and greasy dog food here, turning around and being able to criticize the unsympathetic commander, this kind of comparative evaluation directly stirred up the hearts of some people, and with the decline of the popularity of the two things, just when everyone thought that this year's America, I am afraid that I will not be able to make similar big news again-
Huh!
These melon-eating masses and critics suddenly turned into out-of-control curly-haired baboons for a while, restless!
First of all, Disney.
They announced that they would join forces with Warcraft Film and Television to spend 300 million yuan to bring "The Lord of the Rings", the originator of modern fantasy literature, to the screen!
When this news appeared, the middle-aged and elderly people who had cast kind eyes on beautiful love before were all crazy!
Since the fifties of the twentieth century, "The Lord of the Rings" has swept Europe and the United States, becoming a cultural mark of the times.
Tolkien used The Lord of the Rings to create a time and space comparable to any other mythological system, a civilization that was close to history, a creation myth of the English nation itself; The series has been translated into more than 60 languages, has been a bestseller for half a century, and has already sold more than 100 million, and the day after the death of the author, Tolkien, the New York Times published an opinion piece calling him the 'Creator'.
Words in black and white can't depict people's love for him at all, and after Disney's official announcement, their external contact hotline was immediately blown up, and those old men and women who are fascinated by Middle-earth are eager to know how the fantasy world in their hearts will be presented?
Will the huge investment of 300 million really be put into practice?
Who will be the director of the movie?
Although Disney can't answer the question about the content of the film for the time being, but in terms of investment, they still dare to pack tickets, under the instruction of the high-level, "The success of "Titanic" made us discover that big production is the foundation for improving the quality of the film, so we passed a plan of 300 million investment and continuous shooting that is not affected by the market, and restores Mr. Tolkien's Middle-earth as much as possible', which immediately became an official response to win people's hearts.
Even if this is an official clichΓ©, those old men and ladies have clearly captured a message-
"The Lord of the Rings" will be filmed in a Titanic-like way. β
How was "Titanic" filmed?
Buy your own land, dig pools, and build ships!
Since Disney said that "Titanic" was learned, those old men and women were relieved.
As long as the capitalists are willing to throw money at it, there is no visual effect that can't be made!
And their peace of mind is Disney's peace of mind.
The official announcement alone can attract so many inquiries, and when it is released, the influence of the box office in the first weekend has been stabilized!
Just when those middle-aged and elderly people were restless because the literary works they liked for many years could finally be put on the screen, the second batch of curly baboons was also successfully born, and two days after Disney's official announcement of "The Lord of the Rings", Time Warner also announced that it would join forces with Warcraft Films, Amperin and DreamWorks to spend 100 million yuan to create the magical world "Harry Potter".
Although compared with the 300 million investment of "The Lord of the Rings", the 100 million yuan project seems to be a little insufficient, but in the production list announced by Time Warner, Steven Spielberg's name is impressive!
Even though the old man came out to stand at the beginning of the year when he was selling Harry Potter to the public, he has given too many platforms to literary works over the years! Before it is officially finalized, no one knows if he will quit the production, and after it is officially finalized, he may also run away like giving up "Raiders of the Lost Ark 5"!
But now, with Amperin and DreamWorks stepping in, everything is a foregone conclusion.
After 20 years, the old man once again copied his old business and created a children's myth?
At the beginning, the guys who went to buy books in the name of the old man were very excited, and the expressions were like old stockholders who bought stocks on Dianniang, and after seeing that the stocks they bought with a full warehouse were being maliciously stretched by the dog author, these guys shouted frantically in their mouths: "Hammer!" Oh no! Ness! β
If "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" were supported by the middle-aged and elderly groups and the children's group in the "Star Chaser" respectively, then the "X-Men" shooting plan announced by Universal made those young adults who grew up watching comics go berserk.
One day after the official announcement of "Harry Potter", Universal also impatiently announced to the outside world that it would join forces with Warcraft Films and Marvel Entertainment to spend at least 300 million to create three mutant movies.
Although in terms of fame, "X-Men" can't compare to "The Lord of the Rings", and in terms of production lineup, it can't compare to "Harry Potter", but the successful precedent of "Spider-Man" makes them feel that "X-Men" is also very interesting!
Wolverine may not be as famous as Spider-Man, but he has a body of tendon meat!
Wolverine's fame may not be as big as Spider-Man's, but its ability to delay aging and regenerate at high speed is awesome!
Wolverine's fame may not be as big as Spider-Man's, but the beard in the wilderness attracts little girls!
Of course, the most important point is that "X-Men", like "The Lord of the Rings", is also the youth of a generation!
Youth is priceless, as long as the shooting is not bad, there will be a bunch of fans who reminisce about youth to pay.
The box office went up on the first weekend, and I was not afraid that I would not be able to attract passers-by to go into the theater to watch.
Of course, although the successive explosions have made the four generations of old, middle-aged and young people all turn into curly-haired baboons, looking forward to the early arrival of the movie they have been dreaming of, but at the same time, everyone has also discovered a problem.
This Warcraft film and television, where did the ghost company come from?
I haven't heard of it before!
Can it carry out a plan with Disney, Time Warner, and Universal to invest more than 700 million at the same time?
This financial strength is terrifying and a little scary!
'How do I feel like I've never heard of this company before?' Could it have been established recently? β
'Impossible! Newly established companies working with Big Six as soon as they come up? Do you think the boss is Steven Spielberg? β
On IMDb, there is only one movie called "The Seven Deadly Sins" under the name of this company, but when we searched for the full name, we found a joint distribution company called Sony and Amperin and Warcraft Films. Judging from the content of the disclosure, this is Sony's global distribution department! Can a new company's name hang on the head of Sony's global distribution division? What's going on? β
'Wait, the name of this company is Warcraft Films? Isn't Warcraft a game for Blizzard? This kind of application of the name is already a violation of the law, right? But Blizzard doesn't seem to have the intention of suing it? So this means that Warcraft Film and Television has something to do with Blizzard? Or is it a subsidiary of Blizzard Entertainment? Hiss...... A game company doing movies? Is that an exaggeration? β
Before the three official announcements, they communicated with Roland whether they wanted to serve as producers.
Roland Salty Allen replied to them with the words, 'I'm famous enough, I don't need to be more famous.'"
So, I felt that it was a pity, well, in fact, the three families who couldn't rub off the heat respected Roland's choice.
Of course, Roland chose to hide his identity, not because he really felt that the exposure was too high, but because the normal means of boasting were no longer effective for him, even if the three companies announced his identity as producers, even if the three series were successful at the same time, then others would take it for granted.
Just like Spielberg's old man, in the eyes of the people, the old man's movie is a big hit, that is, Ji Cao Buliu, sit down and sit down.
Only the sudden death of the project can make the headlines!
Since the positive exposure has little impact on Roland, it will not be exposed for the time being.
After all, in the era of information interconnection, sand sculpture netizens can always do something.
The names of Warcraft Film and Television and Warcraft are so similar, and the association with Blizzard Entertainment can naturally be guessed by the big hands, and then hold it back, with the success of the three series, people will definitely become more and more curious!
When the time comes, the company will be listed, oops! Isn't that the truth revealed?
The hidden boss that the audience has been looking for for many years turned out to be Roland Allen?
This kind of impact is much greater than directly announcing the identity of the producer!
And if a reporter interviews him and asks him why he wants to hide his identity, then directly respond with the sentence "The time I miss the most is when I took 10,000 dollars for a play, I was very happy at that time, and the thing I regret the most in my life is to take "Home Alone", because of the skyrocketing fame, let happiness leave me'.
The effect is directly full!
Of course, although the Big Three did not announce Roland's identity, and those media companies that knew the inside story also kept silent about this matter, but this can only hide from outsiders, and the interest groups that know the truth will blow up directly after seeing the continuous official announcements!
In addition to Mary Jane, Roland has spread out so many projects at one time?
This, this, this...... Grab it!
I have to say that the thin-skinned ones can't mix in the circle.
After seeing the resources of the three series, the guys who complained to Spielberg in order to compete for Mary Jane all chose to forget what they did, in their eyes, resources are everything, if we are anxious to offend you Roland, then please treat us as farts and let us go......
Because he has witnessed how much Roland hates trouble, after the three projects were officially announced, no one expected Roland to be able to appoint every role, and because of this, Roland was also happy.
"Finally a little bit of a boss feeling.,If you think about things like choosing people every day.,It's really low......"
"And as soon as these three projects come out, people of all ages will become leeks?"
"Tut-tut...... What Jobs said really makes sense! Many times, the populace simply doesn't know what they like! β
With the official announcement of "The Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter" and "X-Men", the entire Hollywood has finally come out of the shroud of "Titanic", and with the approach of summer, the list of various studios has also poured out.
The first is Paramount and DreamWorks' collaboration "Heaven and Earth Collision".
The trailer of the comet hitting the Earth forcibly grabbed the attention of all parties.
Followed by Sony's "Godzilla" from Columbia Samsung Pictures, the well-known monster from Japan once again appeared on the big screen in North America, and this cultural invasion is what Sony wants to do.
Finally, there's Robert Redford's The Horse Whisperer.
These three movies are the vanguard of this year's summer file, but after Roland glanced at the North American theater alliance's film scheduling plan, he lost interest.
He had seen "Heaven and Earth Collision" in his previous life, and like "City of Angels" and "Miracle in the Green Mile", for him, the real highlight of the whole movie was the black president played by Morgan Freeman.
The old man's ability to do things is good to get used to.
Roland has also seen "Godzilla", and what impressed him was the monster in "Godzilla", which was clearly the big lizard that ran out of "Jurassic Park 2" next door!
As for The Horse Whisperer?
He will never watch this movie again.
After leaving all the main and side hustles to the right people, the time also came to May, and the thought of meeting the wise elder soon, Roland, who was relaxed, turned into a real fan and went straight to the shooting range, ah no, it was to Omaha, Nebraska.
When the Bombardier Global Express, borrowed from Spielberg, hovers Roland in the air, the chessboard landscape comes into view.
Because it is a large distribution center for wheat and livestock, as well as heavy industries such as meat processing, agricultural machinery manufacturing, railway equipment, and petroleum processing, when looking down on the city from the air, it is easy to give people the illusion of a divided camp.
Agriculture on the left and industry on the right, the central urban area is wrapped in black and green, at first glance it seems that there is no problem, but if you look closely, it looks like a person wearing a black hat, and then grass grows green on it!
"How can there be such a strange urban layout, is it a hint that the guys who live here will be green after all?"
Roland secretly complained, just when he wanted to stare at the city and open his mind, the plane that glided and landed strangled his good wishes in the cradle.
Such an unfortunate encounter made Roland a little regretful, but he didn't think much about it, anyway, when he left, there was still a chance to diss the layout of the city, just as he was wearing sunglasses, getting out of the cabin, holding on to the handrail, stepping on the spiral staircase down, while taking out his mobile phone, trying to find someone to show him the way, a Chevrolet suddenly drove from a distance, and then stopped in front of him.
"You arranged it?" Roland looked at the assistant beside him suspiciously.
What I got was a shake of my head in response.
Just as he was trying to figure out the situation, the co-pilot of the Chevrolet suddenly turned on, and a middle-aged man came up to him.
As soon as he saw the other party's appearance, Roland was relieved.
Isn't this Bill Gates' bodyguard?
"William asked you to come?" Roland smiled and shook hands.
"Yes, the boss asked me to pick you up." Bai Da nodded, "The boss said that as soon as you land, you will definitely ask him for directions." β
βWhatοΌ How did he know I was unprepared? Roland was shocked.
Seeing Roland's seen through appearance, the big white man also took off his sunglasses, and repeated the words of the boss very embarrassed, "The boss said...... It's impossible for you, a guy who relies on borrowed means to get around, to arrange your itinerary in advance......"
