Maybe it's a release of the true thoughts in his heart, but it's more like showing the real ambition that has been going on for a long time, when the old man accepts Roland's proposed means of resistance, which is not a solution, the next filming process, it is a rapid progress.

Belch......

All right.

The crew filmed quickly, mainly because this international director, who seemed to have strict standards, lowered his shooting standards.

Regardless of whether he is an adult actor or a child actor, he asks the other party to fight the world with one emotion.

For example, during the filming of the scene where Harry Potter entered the school, he asked Richard Harris, who played Albus Dumbledore, to show at most two personalities in front of the camera, one was the majesty that he should have as a headmaster, and the other was the favoritism when he was a relative, the former was used when reading the school rules, and the latter was reflected when Harry Potter joined Gryffindor.

To put it bluntly, it is for Richard Harris to introduce the school in a nonchalant tone with a straight face as he reads out the school rules.

And when Harry Potter joins the house he is used to, he directly gives a close-up, and toasts with a smile as a sign of love.

At the same time, he also instructed Daniel Radcliffe, who plays Harry Potter, to respond with a 'laugh' in the simplest way possible.

Because Harry Potter has been bullied by his uncle since he was a child, he belongs to a angry bag that has no father's pain and no mother's love, so timidity and woodenness have become Daniel Radcliffe's magic weapon to win.

When he needs to show his emotions, give a stiff smile close-up, and a scene will pass again.

Although it seems simple, there are no technical difficulties, and it can even be said to be very unprofessional, but do these things matter?

Harry Potter's audience was originally children.

Let a teenager read the eight emotions in the eyes of an actor?

Isn't that special code sick in the brain?

Teenage children don't know what acting is at all, the simplest emotional release is the only criterion for them to accept the world, in the case that they can only understand the joys, sorrows, and sorrows, they make a sad guy, that is, there is in the brain!

If you can make children understand that Severus Snape, a stinky bat with a straight face, looks like a bad guy at first glance, and Rubeus Hagrid's stupid big guy looks like a good guy at first glance, then you are already an international famous director!

The real director is not there to keep adding his work, but to do addition, subtraction, multiplication and division according to the script!

We will shoot what the main audience understands!

As for what's gentle? 'Swapping their lives', 'Some people die at the age of eight and are buried at the age of eighty', 'I am sorry for being a human being', these things are as far as they go, because even if people don't go to see Jiang Taigong in "Romance of the Gods", they definitely don't go to see Shen Gongbao and say to Jiang Ziya: "Jiang Ziya, you protect the world, I protect you." "Yes!

It was precisely because of the simplicity of the standard that Roland finally went up and clapped his hands.

With a storyboard draft comparison, filming is easier than drinking water.

However, even if Roland really got his hands on it, he still asked the old man to remove his name from the production team.

In his words, that's-

"If you quit the circle, you have to retreat cleanly."

"From an actor to a director, it's just a career change, which will make fans still have hope of returning."

"Only by completely disappearing can fans despair and thus burst out with unparalleled purchasing power."

…………

Such an attitude made the old man who couldn't resist him reluctantly agree, and because of this, during the rest of Roland's stay in England, they didn't talk about movies at all, and instead focused on the company's operations.

Or rather, IP development.

In the old man's view, "Harry Potter" is a very potential IP, the best-selling books are the spark of success, and the remade movies are the tools for expansion......

That's right!

Although the old man will never be able to become a qualified game developer, for him, making the work he directed into a game and making more people happy is something more meaningful than a movie hit.

If it were the past, then Roland would have readily agreed.

Because all along, he has emphasized the development of the whole industry chain.

Stripping away all the value of an IP like Disney is his ultimate goal, and making feelings a powerful tool for harvesting leeks is his biggest vision for the company under his name.

But the problem is that on the IP of "Harry Potter", he showed hesitation.

Because the game created with this IP has never been successful.

Yes, Roland had played Harry Potter games in his previous life.

And what impressed him the most was the slot that runs through the whole series - mental retardation!

Take the first game of the same name released at the same time as "Philosopher's Stone", the production team built a fantasy adventure world based on Unreal Engine, but the problem is that it is an adventure game, but there is no combat system!

That's right, EA's Philosopher's Stone is a 3D maze game!

The player can only control Harry Potter alone in the whole process, and the rest of the guys are all NPCs who give out tasks and lead the way.

As an adventure game that only decrypts and has no adventures, after it is listed, it will die violently!

The most confusing thing is the sequel that followed.

Because the second "Chamber of Secrets" and the third "Prisoner of Azkaban" are all skin-changing works of "Philosopher's Stone".

Your "Philosopher's Stone" has failed, and you still have to change your skin!

Isn't that hilarious!

It wasn't until the fourth "Goblet of Fire" that EA introduced a combat system, but at the same time, EA deleted the previous maze.

It's like one never knows exactly how many games penguins imitate.

You never know how EA, a guy who plays games with his ass, can do it so big.

It wasn't until the seventh installment, Deathly Hallows, that they wanted to fully integrate adventure, puzzle solving and combat.

But it's too late.

The whole IP has been done rotten!

The movie has come to an end!

There is no future at all!

Maybe it's because they know they're doing too much rubbish, or maybe it's because they explain the profitability of the game to shareholders and Warners, and when the entire series is finished, EA reviews them, and in the report, they said that the reason why they didn't do the combat system back then was because the audience of "Harry Potter" was nine to fifteen years old, and if they added a life-or-death combat system, then the rating committee would definitely not agree to sell the game, so they could only emasculate themselves. Resident Evil", "Tomb Raider" of this genre, therefore-

The four dissimilarities appeared.

By the time of Goblet of Fire, they felt that the audience for Harry Potter would no longer be disturbed by the rating committee, so they made a combat system for the game, but at the same time, because the sales of Tomb Raider and Resident Evil had been declining year after year, they thought that the public might not like to take risks to solve puzzles, so they deleted the maze.

Four are not like, and they appear again.

It is precisely because EA has copied every copy on the horse's hooves that the Harry Potter game spin-off has not been successful, but even if Roland knows about these problems, it does not mean that he can avoid them.

Everyone knows that adventure + combat is the soul of RPG games!

But the problem is that parents won't buy their children that kind of game of fighting and killing!

Even with EA's previous experience, Roland can't prescribe the right medicine and rewrite the prejudice of a generation!

Just like 20 years later, there are still parents who think that video games are playthings, and in this era, if you commit crimes against the wind, you will die quite miserably, but if you don't commit crimes against the wind and learn to compromise for the sake of interests, what is the difference between that and EA's self-palace version of the game?

It still can't be sold!

Since the problem can't be solved, the game adaptation can only be put on hold for the time being.

After all, you can't be a man, otherwise you can only give gifts in person like the big brothers of the founding of the country.

…………

After nearly ten days in the UK, on November 4, Roland and Kate returned home in a low-key manner.

In the days they were away, David, who was on the shift, helped them solve a lot of problems.

The first is Google.

Previously, on Kauai, Sergey Brin and Larry Page said they needed to think about Microsoft's market-for-share agreement, but after they returned home to consult their parents, their teachers, the school's leaders, and the anti-Microsoft coalition, they compromised.

As long as anyone with a discerning eye can see how terrifying Microsoft is after achieving market monopoly.

If Microsoft's treaty is rejected, then Google will cease to exist.

In that case, Roland wants another eight percent of the empty gloves of the white wolf, then they have to give it.

As a result, the contract was signed quickly.

…………

At the same time as Google compromised, David also acquired 37% of PayPal's equity for 550 million.

The reason why the negotiations were so quick was thanks to the internal struggle of PayPal.

In March of the two millennia, Confinity, which created PayPal, officially merged with Elon Musk's online bank, and after that, the seizure of power has been caused to the present, just as AOL and Time Warner have development differences, Confinity's founder Bill Harris and founder Elon Musk also disagree on the company's development path, but unlike AOL's fight with Time Warner for several years, Confinity's struggle is more brutal.

In May of the two millennia, Confinity's founder, Bill Harris, was kicked out of the company by Elon Musk; In October of the same year, Elon Musk, the founder of Confinity, was fired from the game by Peter Ted, another founder of Confinity.

In this-for-tat situation, the other founder, Greg Kerry, vowed to avenge Elon Musk, but how could Peter Ted, who had managed to regain the right to operate, agree?

So the two sides fought more fiercely.

Since Elon Musk and Greg Kerry have a large number of shares in their hands and have a veto, no matter what Peter Ted does, they can just veto, once it's okay, two times can endure, three times after four times......

Peter Ted exploded and let out the word to kill them.

Seeing Peter Ted's angry appearance, Elon Musk and Greg Kerry felt a glimmer of pleasure.

While they were refreshed, after the persuasion of his companions, Peter Ted, who had finally calmed down, also chose to make peace with them.

Already out of the air, Elon Musk and Greg Kerry, who also understood that the infighting was fruitless, accepted.

But just when the two sides were ready to negotiate to decide the ownership of the company, David made an offer to PayPal.

Since the two sides can't look at each other, it becomes the best option for the other party to sell the stock, and in this situation, Elon Musk and Greg Kerry, who have fewer shares, become the side that is out.

Take the money.

Walk.

At this point, PayPal is no longer associated with them.

Of course, with Roland's advice, David also threw an olive branch to him after acquiring the shares in Elon Musk's hands, but unfortunately, in the face of David's kindness, Elon Musk, who has his own backer, refused.

In his words, that's-

"I'm sorry, we're not short of money for the time being."

…………

When David told Roland about the result, Roland did have some regrets.

But after seeing the shareholding status of Shouwang Venture Capital, he felt that all this did not matter.

After two mergers and acquisitions, his Amazon stock fell from 18.35 percent to 17.16 percent, but Google rose from 10 percent to 18 percent.

Apple is still 17.2 percent unchanged, but Gilead also made Roland's shareholding change from 18.4 percent to 16.5 percent because of a big fish eating small fish;

In addition to this, there is 50 percent of the new ATi, and 37 percent of PayPal;

Berkshire Hathaway, which had allowed David to continue to increase his holdings, has also changed from 20,000 shares to 80,000 shares, and the Disney stock that David carefully bought has gradually climbed to 1.9 percent.

Although these shares will continue to shrink due to the expansion of various companies, but-

It's terrifying!

Because every drop in the shareholding ratio means the expansion of the company's market value!

When they all go to ten points, simply add one plus and that's one trillion!

In addition to Shouwang Venture Capital, several other companies have also undergone minor changes.

For example, Blizzard Capital, after undergoing a major restructuring, has a bunch of game studios under its name, in addition to Blizzard Entertainment, which owns 88% of the shares, Blizzard North, Rock Star, Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch, Bend Studios, CD Projekt are all its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and DreamWorks Interactive Entertainment, which has only recently been incorporated, is the focus of future development.

Another example is Warcraft film and television.

After the annexation of Marvel and Blue Sky Studios, the asset scale of the entire company has also swelled rapidly.

Not to mention the undeveloped copyrights such as "The Hobbit", "House of Cards", and "The Terminator", there are "X-Men", "Harry Potter", "The Lord of the Rings", "The Princess Diaries", and "Spy".

plus Roland's must-take "Pirates of the Caribbean" and DC agent filming......

Hollywood, there is no future.

Or—

Roland is the future.

Such a good situation made Roland very satisfied, and just as he was wondering if it was time to study R and K, Evelyn Watson, the president of Warcraft Film and Television, came to the door.

For "Fragments of Memory", "The Princess Diaries" and ......

Spider-Man 3.
