Reborn American Tycoon
Page 43
It's definitely not luck that Lucas can thrive in Hollywood, where wolves look around.
What level of IP is Star Wars?
This is something that any giant wants to get. Lucas can always hold it in his hands. It is definitely not a fluke.
Lucasfilm is better than Dreamworks. If you only talk about directing ability, Spielberg is obviously better. In terms of running the company, Lucas has the upper hand. If it weren't for the old guy getting too many divorces, it would probably be at the billion level rich man.
After the boring dinner, William White chose to go home directly. If the conversation turned into Raiders of the Lost Ark, maybe he would still be interested in cheering up. Now it’s all right, and the old guy’s delaying tactics made him lose his mood.
"Hey, it's really not enough to fight against this kind of old fox." William White figured it out, and he would definitely be used.
Hollywood giants are now in a sensitive period. William White's every move will be carefully interpreted. Even if he doesn't change his attitude immediately, he will re-examine this movie.
Don't be surprised, Lao Mei believes in luck very much.
Since investing in William White's movies is hopeless, it is not bad to invest in the movies he likes.
Although a little depressed, he doesn't care too much, and he can't steal all the blockbuster movies.
If someone really does this, then it is not making money, it is a proper act of death.
Balance, balance is important.
Whenever AMD is about to go bankrupt, it is often Intel that pulls it, and the two companies are in love with each other.It could almost be made into a movie.
Looking back, William White thinks that this is deliberate. The continuous confrontation between the two companies has actually wiped out other chip companies. This may be a great scam at all.
Aren't you complaining about Intel squeezing toothpaste?
AMD appeared, usually a year and a half ahead, and then it was crushed into slag, and then naturally squeezed toothpaste.
William White is here to enjoy life, as long as no one provokes him, he will not go for trouble, money is endless, so forget the money that is too troublesome, it is really meaningless.
This incident also reminded him that he is not very suitable for negotiating if professional matters are left to professional people.
When he meets the old fox Lucas again, William White will sign an exclusive agreement with him, and he can only sign with himself under the same conditions.
He was right in his estimate. The news about the dinner party was quickly spread by interested people, and Lucas also successfully got rid of the embarrassment of the previous period.
Hollywood is a place where capitalization is very thorough. If you don't want to be restrained by investors, the best option is to find a bunch of investors.
Lucas is naturally a master at this, and the incident changed the next day. The old guy not only secured a few investments, but also basically confirmed the issuer.
For Lucas' apology call, William White was also helpless. Fortunately, he was young and shameless enough to make Lucas owe him a favor no matter what.
The old guy doesn't want to offend this guy, so favors are favors. Anyway, if you can help, you can only help, so I have to apologize.
Lucas couldn't help but sigh, is this the wave behind the Yangtze River pushing the wave ahead?The old man is still very young, and a movie that was not watched well turned over in an instant.
The old man is the producer, Spielberg is the director, and Harrison Ford starred.
This shit is the strongest combination in Hollywood, how come no one invests?
The two films of White Films are big sellers, the old man also has Star Wars, and Spielberg and Jaws are no worse than his two films.
What Lucas thought was right, but unfortunately, Hollywood is looking at short-term interests. His Star Wars is the best 13, but the production cost is also high, and the transfer rate of investment and box office is far lower than that of White Films.
Christmas is over, and Home Alone is still making box office hits. Although the box office data has shrunk significantly, it is far more than movies in the same period.
According to this trend, even if it can't surpass the police academy, it is estimated that there will not be a big gap.
"Forbe, have they set up the venue yet?" William White couldn't help but be entangled, he still had very important things to do.
"Master, everything has been arranged, and the meals are confirmed, there will be no problems."
There are still two days until the press conference. For William White, this busy year has just begun. In addition to this arcade, his comics also need to be accelerated.
Although he didn't doubt the ability of his subordinates, he decided to observe it himself. After all, the people in the company have no experience. It's good to find the problem now, but it will be too late.
Although there were a lot of foot pot people coming, he didn't plan to eat Japanese food, the foot pot food was too much trouble and it was not easy to get full.
It's a small six-story building, which looks a bit gimmicky, and the spray paint on the walls is all cartoon images from the game.
It is still in its infancy, and he has no ability to build a headquarters building. Anyway, the land in the United States is cheap, and there is no possibility of skyrocketing.
When Laomei Real Estate was at its craziest, it was far inferior to Footbath and Tianchao.
You have to know that their government and banks encourage real estate speculation, so it didn't increase much.
"David, tell them to turn on the ventilation, there is still some smell." Walking into the company hall, William White immediately smelled some weird smell. His body is more sensitive now, and what he dislikes the most is the smell of these chemicals.
"Okay, boss, I'll arrange it right away."
"Go and get some air freshener. You can spray it today, but you can't spray it when it officially starts in two days."
The subordinates were also helpless, they didn't think there was any smell, but since the boss said something, they had to do as they said.
After walking around the company, nothing amiss was found, and William White left surrounded by a group of bodyguards.
It's a new year, and Los Angeles doesn't seem to be ready yet, with people on the streets getting a little sluggish.
Including White Films, all crews have not yet started work, and William White can't help it. This is the case with Americans. Except for the elite, everyone else prefers vacations.
Lucas has already started preparing the crew, and with enough money, other things will be easy. His movements are faster than William White.
Chapter 97 The Big Three Foot Basin
Little Paradise, Namco, and the three giants of the aristocratic family are not often seen together. After all, they are all competitors. It is better if the king does not see the king.
Although the foot basin is inflated, they haven't reached their most arrogant yet. If they have the opportunity to see the toys of their counterparts in the United States, of course they will not refuse.
These three so-called giants are actually somewhat inaccurate. Compared with the game companies in the United States, they are just weak chickens, but counting from this moment, they have completely destroyed the game industry in the United States in less than ten years. .
The appearance of William White has completely changed the original historical trajectory. He can't control other game companies, and he won't be affected anyway.
Laomei's production capacity is not good, and the design and programming are not bad. This kind of thing was originally invented by Laomei. I don't know why I need to teach the foot basin.
From the overall point of view, the US Emperor is raising pigs, but they did not expect that this pig grows a little fast, and when they want to kill it, this thing has already grown like an elephant. Fortunately, it has a more docile personality, otherwise it would really be It's hard to say.
After celebrating the Chinese New Year, they have already arrived in Los Angeles. They also want to know about this company and find out what the other party is.
The result is, of course, nothing.
William White?
Of course I know, go to the cinema and you will have the answer.
Although I don't quite understand Lao Mei's joke, it's still quite interesting.They at least confirmed one thing, the ghost who invited them this time is very famous.
They also found that game company. Regarding the graffiti on the outer wall, they don't think it has any reference value.
Texas cubes?
Well, this cowboy is really arrogant.
Foot basin people have a pilgrimage mentality, and the game companies in the United States just don’t take it seriously.
Several companies headed by Atari showed disdain for this new company, as long as it was an individual, it could be seen.
As the host, a welcome banquet is still necessary. No matter how things are discussed, people have come all the way, this face must be given, otherwise it will be too much.
It is purely someone's bad taste to bring these three families together to drink. For a long time in the future, these three families will fight happily. It is estimated that such a harmonious scene will never appear.
William White could only speak simple Japanese, and this occasion was obviously inappropriate, so Miko Suzuki, who was affiliated to the Tuao headquarters, acted as a translator.
Since she is of mixed race, this girl is quite eye-catching, and she is not to mention very beautiful. After all, my father is from a footbath, and his height is flawed.
There are many families like this in Darwin, and it is not difficult for William White's comic company to find suitable employees.
French food is still very suitable for foot pot people. Like foot pot cuisine, it is not a big thing, which is purely hypocritical.
"Mr. White, what kind of cooperation will you take?" The boss of the family couldn't help but ask. He has a lot of dealings with Americans, and there is no problem with simple conversations.
"It's actually very simple. You will see these games tomorrow. The cooperation method we accept OEM orders can also sell production licenses." William White said lightly, taking a sip of red wine.
Then he said: "As for the price and other details, today is not the right time. If you are not interested in those games, I believe you will only accept OEM cooperation."
William White's statement was in line with their expectations. That's what he did on the adapter card. If you want to buy it all at once, you should just wash it off and sleep. This may not exist.
Some people have said, how good you are all OEM, why let the foot basin people take advantage?
You are narrow-minded if you think about it this way, there is absolutely no such advantage to take advantage of, since the Legendary World has opened a window for them, can you still expect them to continue making rubbish games?
If you have money, you need everyone to make it. This is a good basis for cooperation. The short-term profit may not be very good, but it can make money for a long time. This business will not lose money.
Anyway, I can see it tomorrow, and the three old guys don't want to ask any more questions. It is serious to continue to enjoy the big meal.
French food paired with Texas red wine is indeed a wonderful combination. The arrogant French chef is planning to go on strike, but this is the customer's demand, and he must complete his own work.
I have to say that the ghost chef has a good professionalism, and he will never ruin his reputation. If you ruin your reputation as a cook, you will only be able to cook fast food in the future.
Selling your own wine can also put on a patriotic label.It has to be said that someone's level of shamelessness has broken through the sky.
Regarding this stalk, no one really laughs at him now, because someone just tried it some time ago, and the result was very bad, and he was knocked out by the mainstream media.
A talk show ridiculed this bumpkin for eating French food with Texas red wine, and the language was also very sharp, full of irony and sarcasm.
After the program aired, the TV station's telephone was paralyzed.
Fortunately, it's the country of America, so it's okay to apologize and laugh at yourself, and it's okay to do what will happen in the future.If you are in the foot basin, you may need to commit suicide and apologize. This is not a joke.
Many congressmen quickly discovered this problem. Some people have already submitted a bill. Restaurants operating in the United States cannot refuse to sell American local brand red wine, otherwise they will be severely fined.
Don't doubt, this bill will definitely be passed. People have played prohibition in history, but now they just demand fair competition. No one will stop this bill from passing.
You let the foot basin judge the quality of red wine?
A very small number of sommeliers may be able to do it, but ordinary people don't mind it. Although they know that Bordeaux red wine is good, they can't tell the difference.
William White believes that the quality of fruit wine is actually nonsense, and there is not much technical content in it. The quality of wine is completely determined by grapes. Even if there are some subtle differences, ordinary people cannot drink it.
It's just an ordinary reception banquet, without specific content, and everyone eats and drinks very easily. Whether the game console will work or not, anyway, we will see tomorrow.
The guests broke up happily, and William White was also a little drunk, but fortunately he was still sober, otherwise the girl in the foot basin would be miserable.
It's better to separate life from entertainment. If the whole company is under fire, it will be too disharmonious. He is not a foot-bath guy, and it is common sense to make any trouble.
The country with the most office romances is definitely the foot basin. How many people have you seen go to court?
There are not many such cases in the United States. Indeed, such lawsuits appear all day long, and sometimes they are hard to guard against.
Do not have too close a relationship with female subordinates, it is easy to get caught, you may just pat them on the shoulder to express encouragement, but they think you have that kind of thinking.
Don't doubt the glass heart of American girls. Many people reject the opposite sex, and it's normal for them to overreact.
What about men?
Neither can.
When you are an executive in the United States, you have no friends. You'd better be aloof and don't show an overly enthusiastic attitude.
Chapter 98 Mystery Veil
William White's game console is very mysterious. Since it has not yet been mass-produced, the outside world does not even know its structure.
Laomei is actually very confused. In their fixed consciousness, Texans are very rough, how can there be such detailed arrangements.
There are also many people who have been to White Farm, and this group of second-generation people is also vague. Anyway, people can tell that William White has no hidden meaning, but they are not allowed to say it before the press conference, otherwise they will not give them game consoles.
Sounds like child's play, right?
It happened to be very effective, no one wanted to be the target of public criticism, it would be miserable to be ridiculed by a group of second generations, how should I get along in the circle in the future.
Texas farms are not suitable for research and development. William White is not rich enough now, and the research and development base is either arranged in Tuao or Hawaii.
These two places have relatively closed islands. As long as you have enough money, no one will care about you if you build a palace.
The so-called press conference is simply a game hall. According to the schedule, the visiting time is from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-], and all the interior of the company is open to the public. Of course, you need an invitation card to do so.
As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the way. The first ones to come are of course the relevant practitioners. There are not many theater operators who come early, and the official start is only at ten o'clock. They just need to be there before then.
The big bosses were still reserved. The technicians under them didn't care so much. When they saw a spare machine, of course they needed to control it.
Soon some staff members brought coffee and black tea. At this time, maybe only the theater operators were interested in drinking it, and several companies with foot basins were already dizzy.
Other people's game consoles are completely out of the same era as theirs. If this thing is put on the market, it will definitely be a dollar.
Seeing the greedy eyes of a group of peers, the old guys could only shake their heads and smile wryly. It is absolutely impossible to obtain authorization without paying a huge price.
Laomei’s theater operators are not all idiots, they quickly understand what they mean by being invited, this is definitely a good business, as long as the machines are not too expensive, it’s no problem to put a few in the cinema.
William White arrived early in the morning, and several theater operators still need to greet them. It is very important to maintain a good relationship with them. It is no problem for you to make commercial films now, and no one will oppose you for the sake of Mei Dao.
This will not be the case when making art films in the future. If there is no support, you can go to the street. That’s how Shawshank’s redemption died. No matter how good the reputation is, it’s useless.
Atari, who was absent-minded, finally got the news. This time their faces were swollen, and they were still talking about it two days ago, and they didn't know how to end it.
The first thing they think of is acquisitions, which is a common problem of old American big companies. If the acquisitions fail, they will poach your corner, and then put pressure on you through the bank.
