Chapter 333: Universal Pictures' Troubles
Taxi drivers are looking stupid.
Originally, these low-level gangster blacks in the black area are stupid to smoke things, and they don't have a penny on them, and it is basically impossible to make them give up, these are the masters who can shoot and kill people for a few hundred dollars, even if they go to prison for ten or eight years for this, it is not worth it.
Now he was scared away by a few passengers he carried?
The taxi driver looked confused, and this was the opportunity to look at the passengers behind him through the rearview mirror.
Just now, the passenger was still wearing sunglasses and a mask, and now he has a chance to see his real face.
I saw the young man sitting in the middle, lying on the back seat of the car with Erlang's legs crossed, his expression was very indifferent, and his eyes revealed a cold air.
plus the aura that is revealed from time to time, and the scars at the corners of the eyes.
He knew that there seemed to be a big man sitting in his car.
And the address where the other party is going, he only remembers now, is Hollywood Hills!
And Hollywood Hills, what is this place?
It's not just the Hollywood Sign that is located, but there's also a long line of mid-levels villas and a variety of top-notch mansions on the hill.
Let's just say that the people who can appear in this area, or the people who live there, are basically either rich or expensive, either CEOs who look down on everyone in the sky garden, or top international superstars, or bandits who control life and death, and even FDI is helpless.
Now this passenger is actually going to that kind of place, who is it, so do you need to say more?
But the driver has been driving a taxi for so long, and he also knows how to survive, knowing what to know and what to pretend not to see.
He continued to carry the passengers to the Hollywood Hills.
Yes, yes, that's right, the goal of Wu Sin and his party on this trip is Hollywood Hills.
Even Wu Sin didn't expect that Jason, an old man who didn't look out of tune and was unremarkable, and his somewhat playful company was actually headquartered in a mansion in Hollywood Hills.
But also, how many people who can stick to their so-called dreams these years are really alone?
After all, people, generally only those who are full of food and have nothing to do will spend more than ten years to stick to their dreams.
And just when Wu Sin rushed to the R-star headquarters to join Jason.
On the other side, in a building.
"Do you guys have any new ideas about that now?"
"Not yet, I can't find a suitable script."
"But if there is no IP suitable for building a core park, then this park will be lacking a lot of fun."
Universal Pictures!
Yes! Even if this name is put on the whole world, it is a well-known existence!
As one of the earliest film and television companies on the planet, Universal Pictures now has countless top IPs, and after so many years of development, it has long been no longer limited to the film and television industry.
But no matter how big a behemoth is, it has its own troubles.
For example, no matter how rich a person is, he will have some troubles.
Now they're worried.
There is one thing that they can't solve.
Not many people in the outside world know about this now.
Universal Studios, intending to carry out an integration of its IP, will think about creating a feat that will shock the world enough.
They plan to replicate Disney's operation, build a theme park, and truly entertain and materialize their own IP.
But in fact, this is a difficult operation, and once it is completed, it is enough to make their IP truly and more deeply imprinted in the hearts of people around the world.
It's just a pity that now their IP under Universal doesn't have many possibilities suitable for the theme of materialization.
In other words, it's not playable and it's not interesting.
After all, Universal Pictures in this world is not Universal Pictures in the Earth world in the previous life, and many IPs are actually absent.
So this breakthrough plan made them very troubled.
In fact, they also have some ideas, and they have also thought about some IPs that are most suitable for materialization.
For example, the fantasy fairy tale series, isn't this the most playable theme?
Who has no illusions in his heart? Why has Disney endured? Isn't it because of the fantasy element? Magnificent fairy tales, princes and princesses, underwater worlds and ice worlds, magic and witches.
Yes! Magic and witches!
That's what they think!
But they can't go down the same path as Disney.
After all, always trust the capabilities of Disney's legal department.
But if they dare to write a fairy tale theme, the kind of script with a magical witch theme full of fairy tale elements, believe it or not, they can't wait for them to shoot it, and they can be sued by Disney in the name of plagiarism?
So the plot must not be written in fairy tales, otherwise, the overlap of this theme is very large, and there are very few things that can be written, because this kind of theme has been excavated for hundreds of years, and all kinds of possibilities have long been excavated, and there is basically nothing left.
So what they need now is a completely new direction that no one has walked through.
This is a difficult difficulty, a subject that has already been over-explored, to write new possibilities, and then it has to be put on the big screen.
Is it easy? It's certainly not easy, because the first thing you need to do to break the routine is to get out of the shackles of thinking.
It's a whole new field, and the door to a new world can't be opened so easily.
Therefore, Universal Pictures found countless screenwriters and writers, but in the end, their thinking did not jump out of the original framework, and the stories they wrote were basically the same.
It's all castles, witches, the Middle Ages, vampires, princes, princesses and the like.
Nothing innovative.
You don't even need to look at these things, and if you get them, you will definitely be ruthlessly penetrated by Disney and disgusted by them.
So it's better not to write.
That's where they're annoyed at the moment.
"Alas, we are still the host of the Oscars this time, and we should deal with the Oscars first."
Chairman David rubbed the bridge of his nose in annoyance.
It's been an eventful time, all sorts of worries are coming up, and everything is not going well.
But the most important problem now is to solve the Oscar matter first, this time they are in charge of hosting, including the venue, logistics and other things, they are in charge, after all, as a member of the Oscar committee, Universal Pictures has an obligation to do this.
It's just that nowadays, the core theme IP of the theme park is still a headache.
Time passed day by day, until a week later, the truly remarkable moment finally arrived!
