"I think you misunderstood me!" Lin Mu didn't want to lose the best opportunity to acquire Blizzard, "My idea is to re-establish a company on the basis of Ynapse's current one, you will own 30% of the new company, and I will inject $5 million to support your game development, and I will ensure that you have complete autonomy in game development!" ”

Although the temptation of $5 million is not small, what attracted Alan Adhan the most was what Lin Mu said about the right to develop the game independently, which is crucial for a very creative game company like theirs. The www.biquge.info of the pen and the fun pavilion had to admit that the conditions offered by Lin Mu had already made him excited.

Alan Adhan consulted with K-Mowaimi over the phone for a long time, and finally Alan Adhan convinced his partner. In fact, the two entrepreneurs set up this company with a clear purpose: to make games that they like and are more popular with players. The development of a game blockbuster often takes a year or even longer, and the cycle of investment and return is relatively long. In the early days, Mike Mowami and Alan Adhan often needed to withdraw cash from their personal credit cards in order to pay their employees' salaries, relying on personal borrowings to support the company. During that time, they were under considerable pressure to mobilize the maximum motivation of their employees to use their talents, and at the same time to endure the pain of not being able to get out of the "cultivation period". At that time, from the point of view of financial flows, they had almost nothing. Although their situation is better now, they are also facing greater development and challenges, and if they accept the proposal of Lin Mu to form a new company, they can stand at a new starting point and make better plans for the future. And with the financial backing of Lin Mu, they can make any game they can think of, which is undoubtedly a big step towards their original dream. They knew that it was impossible to create a company, especially to push it to the top of the industry, by "luck" alone, which is why they finally agreed to Lin Mu.

"What do you think of the company's name, Mr. Allen, Blizzard?" After negotiating the cooperation, Lin Mu mentioned the name of the new company with some eagerness.

"Blizzard, this is what it means in the dictionary." Alan Adhan didn't expect Lin Mu to even have the name of the company in mind, but he thought the name Blizzard sounded really good. "Let's call it Blizzard!"

"Great!" Lin Mu said with some excitement.

Alan Adhan understood Lin Mu's resolute work efficiency this time, and he made a joke about Lin Mu. "You're really an anxious person, you can't even think about the company's advertising, right?"

"Produced by Blizzard, it must be a high-quality product!" Lin Mu looked at Alan Adhan, who was stunned, "What do you think of this?" ”

Alan Adhan didn't know why Lin Mu was so interested in investing in game companies, and in the ensuing conversation, he raised this question with Lin Mu.

"You don't think there's anything to do between game development and filmmaking?" Lin Mu didn't expect Alan Adhan to have such a question.

Alan Adhan said, "I really can't find a connection between the two. ”

"A manga can be adapted into a movie, so why can't a game be adapted into a movie?" Lin Mu asked rhetorically.

"You're going to make a movie adaptation of the game?" Alan Adhan's thinking was still limited to Lin Mu's words.

"Since a game can be adapted into a movie, then a movie can't be adapted into a game?" The forest guided Alan Adhan's thinking step by step.

"It's a good idea, but it's not that easy to implement, and our current technology doesn't support it." Alan Adhan immediately saw the biggest problem with this idea.

"I'm certainly not talking about now! But this will definitely be a development trend in the future! Lin Mu had promised not to interfere with Blizzard's independent development, but the treaty did not stipulate that he could not instill some ideas in Alan Adhan's future game development. Seeing Alan Adhan's thoughtful look, Lin Mu knew that his words had already had an effect.

"And in the future, gamers' requirements for game graphics will continue to increase, and the production of film special effects will also be more dependent on computers, game companies and film companies can complement each other in terms of art, especially in animated films, the advantages of this cooperation will be more obvious." Lin Mu further put forward his own ideas.

"You're still interested in cartoons?" Alan Adhan asked curiously.

"To be precise, we are interested in 3D animation, and 3D stereoscopic pictures will definitely replace 2D planes, whether it is animated movies or games, this is an inevitable trend. Whoever can get ahead of the curve can become the best in this field! ”

"3D games?" Alan Adhan couldn't imagine how Lin Mu's mind could have thought of a 3D game that seemed to him to be far away in an era when 2D game production was still in its infancy.

"You think it's far away, don't you?" Lin Mu seemed to see through Alan Adhan's thoughts, "But 20 years ago, who would have thought that a huge computer could be reduced to a small home computer, and it is estimated that Bell did not expect that decades later, the telephone can be unfettered by transmission lines, this is a technological revolution, everything is possible in the future!" ”

Lin Mu originally wanted to instill the concept of online games to Alan Adhan in advance, but considering that this was only the first meeting between the two of them, Alan Adhan couldn't digest it even if he said too much, and Lin Mu still understood the reason that he couldn't chew too much. Anyway, Blizzard is already in his own hands, and there will be a chance to contact Alan Adhan in the future, are you still afraid that he will not be able to run away with his wings?

Alan Adhan left happily with a check for $5 million, and Lin Mu began to think about how to make good use of Blizzard's trump card. He suddenly felt that if he could have a film company in his hands, using Blizzard's R&D platform to specialize in 3D films, what would it be like? However, the idea only flashed through his mind, and his current ability was not enough to realize it.

Lin Mu is thinking about how to expand his strength, and at the headquarters of Viacom, Sumner Lei Shidong is also thinking about this problem. The acquisition of Paramount didn't quite satisfy Viacom's desire to expand, but this time Sumner-Raystone set his sights on the downstream of the entertainment industry chain, and he wanted to get involved in the rental and sale of images.

The company's president and chief operating officer, Mel Karmazin, was in his office at this time, and the two were discussing the company's next expansion strategy. But he and Sumner Rayshidon disagreed, and after acquiring Paramount, he thought it would take a while for Viacom to digest the behemoth. He personally did not think that appointing Lin Mu as Paramount's vice chairman was the right decision. Mel Kalmazin believes that a good filmmaker does not equate to a good company manager, and he admits that Lin Mu's talent in film is indeed excellent, but he does not think that a young man who has just graduated from college can help Shirley Lansing manage Paramount well.

"Carl, you seem to have some opinions?" Since Mel Karmazin's name is somewhat long, Sumner Rayshidon always has a habit of omitting the two words after his name.

"Shirley complained about me when she met me recently, and the board of directors arranged a stunned young man for her, except for impulsiveness, she couldn't see any good in that young man?" In fact, Shirley Lansing only mentioned the forest to Mel Karmazin during a meeting, and she only understated that the forest was a little unstable, but when it came to Mel Karmazin's mouth, the taste completely changed.

"Did she really say that?" Sumner Ray Shidong was a little suspicious, and he noticed that there was something unusual on Mel Karmazin's face when he said this.

He invested nearly $50 million in one of his scripts, and he had a man who had never been a director in charge of the film, which was ridiculous enough to lead the film. I've heard that this man has recently been involved in a lawsuit from the British government! "Mel Kalmazin shakes out all the rumors I've heard about the forest lately.

"You're talking about Mel Gibson?" Sumner Lei Shidong heard about it, "Many excellent directors are actors, and their approach is a bit bold, but it is not surprising. What many people lack is not talent, but an opportunity. If it succeeds, I believe that Paramount will have one more excellent director. ”

"But what if it fails?" Mel Karmazin was not reconciled.

"If he fails, he will naturally take responsibility!" Sumner Raishi Dongjuku reminded Mel Karmazin, "I have written many works on many subjects, and although I have not seen the scripts he has written recently, I know that every one of his scripts is successful, and none of these successes are achieved by luck!" The appointment is not my sole intention, it was approved by a collective vote of the Board of Directors, and if you have any questions, you can raise them at the Board of Directors. As for success or failure, no one can jump to conclusions until the final result comes out! ”

At the beginning of August, the launch conference of the film "This Killer is Not Too Cold" was held in New York, this film invested by Paramount Pictures, from the director to the actors, are all international faces, director Luc Besson and the actor Jean Reno are from France, the supporting actor Gary Oldman is from the United Kingdom, and the heroine turned out to be a little-known Israeli girl. This is the first time in the history of Hollywood that many reporters have heard about it, and the entire press conference was crowded.

Throughout the press conference, the focus of media attention was on Luc Besson and Lin Mu. Luc Besson's move to Hollywood became the first topic of attention for reporters on the scene.

"Mr. Besson, you are known as the 'Spielberg' of France, are you going to challenge the real Mr. Spielberg when you come to Hollywood this time?" A reporter stood up and asked a question that Luc Besson had a hard time answering.

"Americans always like to call me the French 'Spielberg', and I hope that one day, when the French talk about Mr. Spielberg, they can call him the 'Luc Besson' of Hollywood, which may be my biggest personal ambition to enter Hollywood!" Luc Besson wittily stated that although he is only a late junior in the Hollywood directorial world, he is not afraid of anyone's challenge. He wanted this way to tell Americans that he Luc Besson was not a vegetarian!

"And what was your first goal when you came to Hollywood?" Another reporter stood up and asked.

"I don't remember a French director ever lifted the Oscar for Best Director, so I wanted to be the first French director to stand on the Oscar podium!" Luc Besson made no secret of his desire for the Oscar, and at the same time resolutely expressed his determination to attack the Oscar.

"Do you think this film will help you win an Oscar?" American journalists are very imaginative, and they like to put things together that seem unrelated.

"This film will make all American audiences know who Luc Besson is!" He replied confidently.

After asking Luc Besson, the reporter at the scene turned his attention to Lin Mu, "Excuse me, sir, we know that you have a good personal relationship with Mr. Spielberg, and you have worked together before." Luc Besson is now your new partner, can you compare the two of them? ”

"Unfortunately I can't!" Lin Mu rejected the question without even thinking about it, he was not afraid of offending reporters, "Mr. Spielberg and Mr. Luc Besson are both directors I like and respect very much, they don't need to be compared, because they are both the best!" ”

"This time Paramount uses all international actors, does this mean that Paramount will give up working with domestic actors in the future?"

"I think there's something wrong with your statement!" Lin Mu retorted: "Isn't a foreign actor a Hollywood actor?" When did Hollywood become American's private property? Art knows no borders, and I think Hollywood's greatest success lies in its inclusiveness! If Hollywood wants to go global, she must open her mind to more filmmakers from different countries and races! ”

The film "This Killer is Not Too Cold" started filming in New York smoothly, and during the filming of the film, a very interesting thing happened, when the film filmed a scene where many police cars were parked on the street, a person who had just finished robbing the store happened to run out of the store, and he bumped into the film crew and many "police", so he obediently surrendered to this group of uniformed extras.
