  Chapter 300 Survival shady fresh meat shares

   "Sony agreed?"

   “Yes, after two days of research, they decided to invest in Black Hawk Down.”

   "So happy?"

   "That's right, they have a budget of 100 million when they open their mouths. As long as we form a group, the funds are guaranteed to arrive within a week."

   "Wow! No more requests?"

   "No, but they asked me to bring you a few words..."

   "What words?"

"Howard Stringer said that Sony likes the brand 'RandK' very much. According to their understanding, you are planning to lay out branded goods before Christmas this year. Since this is the case, it can actually be included in "Spider-Man 2" Placed ads, at the end of the film, didn’t Gwen Stacy die? They felt that Peter Parker could cry and pull out the engagement ring from his pocket. He originally wanted to be like her after saving Gwen. The marriage proposal... Anyway, that's what it means, they said that in terms of implantation, you can do whatever you want, can you understand what I mean?"

   "Oh~I understand~but I don't need it, that's all?"

   "Where, this is just Sony's first paragraph."

   "What's the second paragraph?"

"The second paragraph... They said that Sony, Amblin and Warcraft Films had some minor problems with their accounts. The financial staff inside falsified the accounts and embezzled the company's profits, causing the company to suffer serious losses. After their In the past two years, the entire financial team has transferred more than 200 million yuan in total. Due to the timely investigation, all the money has been recovered and distributed according to the proportion of shares. The dividend of more than 50 million yuan will be distributed this year. It will be credited to your account before June."

   "Oh~ I see~ Is it gone?"

   "No, I brought all the words, so my work is over?"

   "End? That's possible! Your "Terminator" project hasn't started to be drawn yet, you can figure it out yourself!"

   "Okay, okay~ I will remember this matter, but...Let's talk about it after James is done..."

When Arnold Schwarzenegger smiled and hugged Roland, then turned away humming a happy tune, Roland was deeply moved by the project plan left on the table. Looking at the flying signature on the cover, he felt excited and sad. intertwined.

   Excited because Sony, as he expected, did not resist.

   Sad, also because Sony, as he expected, couldn't resist.

   In the face of absolute power, any struggle is futile.

  As for why Sony suddenly stated that Roland can place advertisements in "Spider-Man 2", and also stated that there was a problem with the accounts of the global distribution company, and it was recalculated after a callback?

   "Isn't that because they think I've hooked up with those military enterprises!"

   "What is DOD?"

   "Isn't that the headquarters of the military-industrial complex in Washington!"

  In fact, after introducing those guys to act as film consultants, Roland had already expected this day to come.

  Because in the eyes of everyone, in that long list of interests, he could not be the one who took the initiative to shoot the movie.

   The guy who engages in entertainment, games, and the Internet is actively involved in the arms procurement project?

Do not make jokes!

  Who will believe this?

  Even if everyone knows that Roland is rich, the purchase of armaments is not a question of money at all!

   In this way, Roland can only be the one who got lucky and ran errands for military enterprises!

  Although this kind of label is ugly, it is good enough to use it.

  Because the spokesperson of the military-industrial complex has always walked sideways on this planet.

Just like Dick Cheney who endorsed "Black Hawk Down", France and Nigeria accused him of using bribes to help the famous energy and infrastructure company Halliburton Group get a list of 6 billion US dollars and control the Nigerian market …

   But does it work?

  Even if the evidence is solid, they will only accuse for ten years!

because…

  Nobody dared to catch him.

  ╮(╯▽╰)╭

   Now it is the same!

  After discovering that the interest groups related to Roland are far more than Hollywood and Wall Street, as well as Seattle, San Francisco, Omaha and Washington, Sony doesn't want to mention any deal for the Olympics...

   Compete with one place, they can try it.

   Compete with two, three, or four places at the same time?

  Sorry, we don't play this game anymore, please treat us like a fart!

  Competition will only exist between the same magnitude.

   Scuffling with opponents who are not of the same weight, this is not called competition, it is called looking for abuse with **** on your head.

Therefore, now Sony has chosen to lie down obediently. They don't even expect how much money "Spider-Man 2 and 3" will make, and they don't want to know what "Black Hawk Down" will be like. After that, take the initiative to leave...

   Ah no, we will pay back the money we owe you!

  If money can buy peace, it will be the greatest value manifestation of money since its existence!

  Sony's overtures, Roland naturally readily accepted, but at the same time he was satisfied, he still called his wife.

   "Are you familiar with Ridley Scott?"

"what?"

   "Ask him to make a movie."

   "What project?"

   “Black Hawk Down.”

  When Roland told Kate about the project he personally killed two years ago, she felt strange and frowned.

   Taking a deep look at her man, she then lowered her head and flipped through the project documents. After a series of shocking signatures appeared in her line of sight, she raised her head, not wanting to read the content any more.

"is it safe?"

   "Our child will be born smoothly, who do you want to ask to be their godfather?"

  The irrelevant words made Kate startled for a moment, then shook her head and laughed.

  Although Roland didn't say it clearly, the meaning is already obvious——

  ‘As capital, we are safe, as for the others? No one can guarantee that everyone will not be affected. '

   But this result is enough for Kate, just like she persuaded Roland not to vote in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". In many cases, only she can control, "Ridley is filming "Gladiator"."

   "According to Steven's plan, the film will be finished around June."

   "And next, he has only one project, and that is to shoot "Hannibal" with Anthony Hopkins."

"If you want him to shoot "Black Hawk Down" first, then I will go to them and ask them to postpone "Hannibal"; Nibal, and then went all out on Black Hawk Down.”

   "Of course, I can help you, but you have to solve the related projects yourself."

  With Roland's current status, it is too easy to prepare a movie!

  Not enough schedule?

   Just tune it!

The filming schedule of "Hannibal" has to go with Anthony Hopkins, and he has just finished filming and leaving the group as the Green Goblin in "Spider-Man 1 and 2", and then he needs to go to "The Grinch" and "The Grinch". "Mission: Impossible 2" is a soy sauce, when you can participate in "Hannibal" depends on the arrangement of the other two crews, but...

   Isn't this just a matter of one sentence for Roland?

  Call Tom Cruise directly and ask him to move the old man's cameo role forward, and then call Ron Howard and ask him to get the old man's guest role done first.

   As for the director?

   "Gladiator" is a DreamWorks movie!

   Roland asked them to finish the filming quickly to make time for himself, isn't it just as natural as the boss asking employees to work overtime?

What?

  The old man is on vacation and doesn't want to take care of things?

   This is not a problem!

   Roland went to his house and stole his daughter, wouldn't he be able to take care of things?

   Let Kate come forward, it is also to take care of everyone's emotions.

  Anthony Hopkins and Ridley Scott should not be too familiar with Kate’s family, ask them for help first, and then help them adjust the time, which will not give people a sense of oppression.

   It was Roland who asked them to make a movie first, instead of solving everything and letting them be tool people!

  Hey, this effect is two different!

   Kate came forward, and the matter progressed very quickly. Two phone calls, a call to uncle, and within ten minutes, Anthony Hopkins said that he would let Universal put "Hannibal" on the agenda.

   And Ridley Scott, despite the chaotic noise of the set, loudly asked Kate to send the script.

  After the director was settled, Roland, who had been listening in, contacted all parties.

  At ten o'clock in the morning, Roland got the news from Arnold Schwarzenegger that Sony had confirmed the investment, and at four o'clock in the afternoon, Sony had already received a report on the formation of the crew...

   This speed convinced Sony that Roland had gotten involved with those warmongers!

  So, facing Roland's important move, Sony didn't even read the document, and directly approved it.

  The production director is responsible for setting up the team?

   Communication between the casting director and the director?

  Costume design reveals the military uniform of the year?

  Script doctor and DOD face-to-face communication?

  What Roland wants, what they give!

  Whoever Roland asked them to connect with, they bought tickets and went straight there!

  Anyway, he paid for the work and didn’t care about the work, and this high degree of cooperation also made Roland full of emotion—

   "For survival!"

  ...

   While the crew of "Black Hawk Down" was frantically forming, the 1999 Oscars were also held on March 21st.

  Although they accepted the invitation letter, neither Roland nor Kate was willing to serve as a background board for the organizer on an empty stomach.

  So, watching at home has become their best choice after get off work.

  As the old man said, the biggest winners this year will only be born in "As Good as It Gets" and "Shakespeare in Love". After nearly four hours of live broadcast, the old man also successfully won the best director.

   Best Supporting Actress belongs to Judi Dench who starred in "Shakespeare in Love".

  Best Supporting Actor is James Cobain for Misery.

  The actress was given to Helen Hunt who starred in "As Good as It Gets".

  The actor was embraced by Roberto Bernini, the hero of "Life is Beautiful".

  Because of the appearance of Roland, the Oscars in 1989 and 1999 have undergone tremendous changes. Gwyneth Paltrow did not win the best actress, and Jack Nicholson lost a best actor, but at the same time...

   "Shakespeare in Love" is still scolded.

   That’s right, this movie still stands out from the quartet of "As Good as It Gets", "Life is Beautiful", "Saving Private Ryan", and "The Thin Red Line". The judges racked their brains and finally made a safe decision!

  Unfortunately, the audience didn't buy it.

  On the day after the Oscars ended, doubtful remarks were rampant. The media who owned the industry in Hollywood still spoke conservatively, but the people who could vent on the Internet did not show mercy.

  The angry words slaughtered the pages of the major forums, and the ancestral graves of the judges were all dug up by them.

  The shady suspicion made the noble golden color no longer sacred.

  The academy can understand the public's 'feedback', because only the parties involved will understand how complicated the situation this year is, but the academy will not be happy if it talks about the shady scene...

   Isn’t the biggest shady event in Oscar history last year’s deal?

   But because you guys like it, it's correct?

  You guys don't like it this year, so it's wrong?

   Phew!

  The face is so big!

  ...

  Of course, Oscar's quarrel only lasted a little over a week.

  Because on March 31, "The Matrix" was released.

  As a movie with a philosophical label, at the beginning of its release, people actually went for the appearance of the little fresh meat Keanu Reeves, but after the audience watched it—

   Grab the grass! Keanu Reeves is so handsome!

  He is so cool wearing sunglasses!

  Kerry Moss is so sassy!

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

  She even knows how to fly with Ah Fu's crow!

   Uh... well...

   "The Adventures of Jackie Chan" hasn't aired yet, Roland called out the crow's flight.

  After "The Matrix" was released, Roland went to book it. Although he watched it in his previous life, it didn't prevent him from taking Kate to watch it again in this life. But after watching it, he regretted it because——

   Whenever Keanu Reeves plays, Kate is the star.

   "No, is he as handsome as me?" Roland wondered.

   "No." Kate shook her head decisively, but her eyes were still fixed on the screen.

   "Then why are you staring at him?"

   "Because he is handsome!"

Meow meow meow? ? ?

   Countless small question marks appeared in Roland's head.

Unable to understand, he continued to watch the movie with a bewildered face, but before he watched it for a while, Kate suddenly turned her head and asked him a question, "She has me is it beautiful?"

   "No." Roland, who was staring at the screen, shook his head decisively.

   "Then why are you staring at her?"

   "Don't you think she is very smokinghot in a leather jacket?" Roland looked at Kerry Moss, who was covered in rubber coat in the movie, leaving only the snow-white collarbone, and expressed his inner thoughts.

   "..." Kate stared at Roland's profile, but said nothing.

  The next second, only sound effects echoed in the theater.

  In the next second...

   "Hey! Pain pain pain pain~"

   Roland ran away with his head in his arms.

  Although Roland didn't understand why he was beaten until he went to bed at night, he knew that because of his handsome and charming face, "The Matrix" became a hit.

  During the garbage period at the end of March and the beginning of April, "The Matrix" slashed 27 million box office in its first weekend.

Although compared with Roland's box office record, this number is still a younger brother. Compared with Will Smith's results, Keanu Reeves still has room to catch up. However, after "The Matrix" was released, Keanu- The number of Reeves' fans is like a rocket, increasing geometrically. If it weren't for the fact that the netizens are still very simple, Roland believes that he can see the cheering slogan of "Qi Luo bravely fly, mother will always be with you" up!

   But even if Keanu Reeves is on fire, Roland has no intention of envying him.

   Not only because of what Keanu Reeves has now, he has experienced countless times, but also because there is no other handsome man in this world!

What?

Do not believe?

  Little Lizi admits that he is not as handsome as Roland, and other guys will not say that he is more handsome than Roland!

  No way, money ability!

  Hey~

  ...

   Soon after The Matrix was released, good news came from Google.

  The commercial product was officially launched, and in just one month, the number of visits reached more than 20 million.

  And in this case, the two little ghost lions who graduated from Stanford opened their mouths and estimated the company at more than 200 million.

  Faced with such an asking price, Sequoia Capital, which had already been greeted, voluntarily withdrew, while the remaining KPCB, together with Shouwang Venture Capital, injected 40 million funds into the company.

  KPCB invested 25 million, accounting for 10% of the shares.

  Shouwang Venture Capital provided 15 million yuan and a six-year outsourcing contract for Yahoo's search business, accounting for 10% of the shares.

  Although he didn't get 20%, and other capital was put in, but for Roland, this is already very good.

  Because Google wants to grow bigger, it has to rely on KPCB, the core of the anti-Gates alliance, to continuously poach talents for them.

   You can only fight Microsoft if you bring together the guys who know Microsoft best.ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴovel(F)ɪre

  Of course, although it took a long time to get 10% of the shares, this kind of achievement is really embarrassing, but Roland didn't care about these things. Not only that, but on the day of signing the contract, he went to San Francisco in person.

   After signing the contract, he was in a good mood and invited the two of them to have a meal.

   During the meal, the two asked him a question—

   "Roland?"

"Um?"

   "We heard from them that you don't seem to like being involved in the company much?"
