Chapter 373 Feedback
"Yeah, I caught up with Roland Allen and his wife last night to chat about everything.
The two-hour dinner party made us friends, and I finally figured out why they announced their retirement.
Because, they want kids.
According to what Kate said, after Roland formally proposed to her, the two had considered the issue of the wedding and children, but at that time they both had jobs and couldn't spare time to prepare for the wedding, so they delayed until this year.
When preparing for the wedding this year, the two discussed that after having children, as parents, they should accompany their children to grow up together. That's why Roland had the idea of taking a break. After careful consideration, he finally made the decision to withdraw. circle decision.
What? You said that there is no conflict between growing up with children and making movies?
Yes, yes, I thought so at first, and I raised this opinion to them, but when Roland told me that the luckiest thing he encountered in his life was that the Olsen couple could be like their biological parents. After raising myself, I realized how important a complete family of origin is to a child who grew up in an adoptive family.
Although the Olsen couple loved Roland very much, the loss of his parents was his eternal pain.
The thing that resonates with me the most is the age of ten.
Roland's parents had already gone to heaven when the child's worldview was just beginning to be established and needed guidance from his parents.
It is precisely because he has personally experienced the pain caused by the absence of parents to children, so after deciding to have children, he hopes that he can shoulder the responsibilities of a father, and if he takes into account the role of an actor in this situation, he will need to leave for a long time. family work, then he believes that this is perfunctory to his own children, and it is also disrespectful to the audience and fans who love him.
Uh... you mean, taking pictures will only make the economic problems worse?
oh! I have also done some research on this matter, but everyone may have forgotten that he holds a certain amount of Berkshire Hathaway stocks. At the shareholder meeting, I sat next to Bill Gates.
Hahaha~ Yes~ Yes~ I also think that he made this responsible decision only when the economy allows it.
Not only that, but I also learned that Steven Spielberg, who witnessed his marriage in the wedding egg of "Spider-Man 3", was also one of the factors in his decision to retire. I think many people have already known that. When Steven Spielberg founded DreamWorks, he signed a work contract with DreamWorks, never worked overtime, and went home on time, because the children needed his company.
Yes, the above are the true thoughts of the Allen couple.
ah? You want to know why he doesn't announce his life plan himself?
I haven't asked him this question, but according to my contact last night, I found that Roland is actually a very cautious person. As a well-loved actor, he insists on spreading positive energy to the public. From his point of view, The works of these years can be seen-"Home Alone" series conveys family affection to people, "Terminator 2" empowers single-parent families, "Jurassic Park" allows people to see responsibility in blockbuster special effects, "Titanic "" shows the sincere love to people, "Saving Private Ryan" is telling the brilliance of humanity, and the "Spider-Man" series allows us to see the family and country feelings in the birth of superheroes. I think it may be because The idea that "Spider-Man 3" wants to convey is too grand, so he is reluctant to announce his life plan in a face-to-face manner.
Yes, I went to see Spider-Man 3 even during the tense election season.
What attracted me, of course, was the last line!
That's right! The line 'My DNA is not DNA but USA' is too domineering!
And if the first two films are linked together, then the core idea of the entire "Spider-Man" series is very clear.
Face up to your abilities! Recognize your responsibilities!
When you have the ability to decide people's life and death, goodness and evil are actually in a single thought.
Although no one will force you to bear such responsibilities, your heart will let you make the final choice. As long as you have a little bit of unbearable heart, you can't take a step and walk away!
Yes Yes! I am really excited now! Because I feel like I found my confidant!
In the past year, I have been emphasizing to people that if I am finally elected, I will implement a ten-year tax cut policy of nearly 1.6 trillion, reducing the tax quota for low- and middle-income families by 15%. to 10 percent to improve their lives and increase the standard deduction for married couples filing jointly and lower the tax rate for married couples filing jointly.
Not only that, but I'm going to increase the tax credit per child and the line of credit that qualifies for the child support credit because children are our future and we can't let people have problems with child support question.
In addition, I will urge Congress to remove the time limit for student loan interest deduction as much as possible, because I believe that allowing people to receive education with peace of mind is an effective means to promote development.
In my opinion, proposing relief measures and promoting their existence is what a great commander should do.
If the public is not considered when the economy is rising and the budget is surplus, then what is the point of us clinging to the economy?
As explained in the "Spider-Man" series, when your ability is insufficient, of course you cannot develop while taking into account the needs of the public, but when your ability is sufficient, it is your responsibility to defend the world as much as possible!
Yes, I am very grateful to James Cameron and Roland Allen for bringing us such a perfect "Spider-Man" series. It can clearly see that those who resist tax cuts and refuse to bring What kind of people are the guys with more interests? They are selfish evil spirits who only want to destroy the world! "
Now that a lot of resources have been spent on Xiang Party candidates, it has become a matter of course to accept the other party's invitation to meet, and after telling the other party the mental journey of making the decision to retire, the next day, This guy publicly accepted an interview with FOX, the party's exclusive media, and made public the fact that he was combined with the election.
Of course, Roland had no idea about such tricks.
Because what he really cares about is actually those explanations that belong to him.
After all, even if Roland divided the fan base with a combination of vertical and horizontal means, and shifted their attention from 'why did he quit' to 'really quit', after the fans calmed down, they would still Going back to the original point, re-entangled with the first problem, and in this case, the eruption that has been suppressed for a long time may not be as intense as the direct announcement, but the negative impact will eventually appear. In this way, solve this problem before The problem became what Roland had to do.
Playing the family card of children and family to the public is the result of Roland's careful consideration.
Because it's just a simple retreat, no one will be satisfied!
But if the child is tied up, then the contradictory is the fans!
On the one hand, Jack and Ruth are holding hands to get married, which is the beauty expected by fans. Seeing their children and grandchildren, it is a continuation of happiness;
On the other hand, it is also their appeal to hope that Roland will continue to act. Seeing Roland produce more works is the expectation of fans.
When the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, what should fans choose?
If you choose a full house of children and grandchildren, it is to support Roland's death!
If you choose to continue acting, you will deny the continuation of happiness!
You can't have both fish and bear's paw!
In this case, whatever the fans choose is wrong!
In this way, Roland can escape smoothly.
Of course, what made all of this is actually "Titanic"!
This will allow them to…
Eat lifetime bonus!
It is precisely because the Republican candidate Bush has made public the idea that Roland and Kate are trying to have a child openly, so fans attracted by love have made the box office trend of "Spider-Man 3" even more terrifying.
In the first four days, the box office in North America was 240 million. Although the daily box office continued to decline, the trend of slaughtering the list remained unabated.
At the same time, because of the arrival of Thanksgiving, even if "Spider-Man 3" is not the kind of movie that can make people crazily rewatch dozens of times, it still attracted many audiences from other places during the seven days of the next week. 160 million at the box office.
In the last four days of the end of November, when the film was released for two weeks, fans contributed another 20 million turnover, pushing the total box office to 420 million!
Sixteen days!
Average daily 26 million!
An average is higher than the first-day box office of other movies!
With such an achievement, the colleagues can't wait to find a piece of tofu to kill them!
However, with the arrival of December, the North American box office space of "Spider-Man 3" has peaked. In the case of many movie gods fighting, "Spider-Man 3", which has burned all its potential, has lost its box office. 500 million opportunities.
But even so, when the local news spread overseas, the overseas market, which listened to all the stories at once, showed its vitality. When it was released in more than 60 countries and regions around the world at the same time, the overseas box office on the first day drifted to 1.1% 100 million!
Although this kind of explosion is like a flash in the pan, with a lifespan of half a month at most, but based on the 110 million overseas box office on the first day, it is still easy for the whole movie to reach one billion. If the fans are working hard...
Then Roland might be able to leave the stage with the title of tens of billions of movie stars!
Of course, this kind of false name may be beneficial to fans, because if they don’t want to leave regrets, they may really pay for the records out of their own pockets, but for Roland, the real money is the biggest meaning.
Therefore, at the same time that he brought Spider-Man to fly, Marvel, the brain-brained thief, also announced that it will create a new single issue of Spider-Man, based on the plot of the movie, and continue to write a new story about the good neighbor Peter Parker. The first series, Will be available for pre-order on Amazon.
The price is five yuan and ninety-nine.
As soon as this news came out, in just three days, the number of reservations for the new issue has exceeded 100,000.
Don't look at the fact that after multiplying this number by the price, it can't even compare to a fraction of the box office, and compared with the original Spider-Man's sales of millions of copies, the result is only one-tenth of the pitiful, but this is a new world, It's great to have such a start!
Not only that, Blizzard also announced that they have obtained the authorization from Marvel and the producer, and will create ACT-like games based on the "Spider-Man" movie series, inviting James Cameron as a special consultant, with the script as the basis. The foundation, improve the entire game world view, and try to complement the villains such as Jin Bin who appeared in the movie but did not show perfectly.
In addition, they also want to increase the degree of freedom of the game, considering allowing players to control the plot and rewrite everything.
Including but not limited to preventing the deaths of Ben Parker, Gwen Stacy, George Stacy.
Similarly, they also opened an early investment service on Amazon.
Interested players only need to buy the early access rights on Amazon at a price of ninety-nine cents. As long as the full payment is made according to Blizzard's requirements before the game is released, they can receive the game disc three days earlier than normal players and experience it early.
When this cooperation appeared, Amazon's servers were almost overwhelmed by enthusiastic gamers!
Compared with the pre-sale of comics that broke 100,000 in three days, the cheaper early access right has attracted the attention of more than 300,000 people!
No way, after the launch of "Warcraft", "StarCraft", "Diablo", "Give Him Love", "Medal of Honor", etc., Blizzard's reputation has surpassed EA, and it is even more boutique. represent!
Even if it is a new series, if you sell it with your eyes closed, it will start at a million dollars!
Now, they have a fantasy collaboration with Marvel.
When James Cameron can be invited, no one doubts the quality of the plot!
After seeing this hot situation, the most excited person was not the boss Roland, but Time Warner.
For a long time, Time Warner hoped that they could create such an influential classic character who could make money with their eyes closed. The real achievements of Spider-Man gave them hope.
If before, they still wanted to make a fuss about female superhero movies, then now, after discovering the classic case that marketing is king, they have made up their minds and let Roland choose at will.
Whatever role Roland wants, they will give him any role!
Not only that, they also officially stopped all DC-related character development within the company.
And when there was a dissent within the company, the outsourcing group choked the self-employed group to death with just one sentence—
"Choose one between the quality of the film and the publicity strategy. Whoever can come up with a plan that is half of Roland's actual results, I will let him do it!"
Reasonable!
Half of Roland's score, that's 500 million!
If they have the ability to make a 500 million project, then who is still here!
It's a pity that the internal turmoil in Time Warner has no effect on Roland.
After clarifying the sponsorship relationship with Bush to the capital, the DreamWorks shares issue also came to an end.
Roland acquired 24.1% of David Geffen's shares at a price of 240 million.
Officially entered DreamWorks!
Although Microsoft, which is integrating Yahoo, has some ideas about Roland's approach, considering that Roland has shown his cards, and that 25% of the shares of Sony, Amblin and Warcraft Film and Television Joint Distribution Company are still in his hands back…
Paul Allen immediately expressed his warm welcome to Roland's joining.
Of course, welcome is welcome, market is market.
After confirming that Roland had an idea about their proposal, he also sent an offer to Li Meijing, the smallest shareholder in DreamWorks.
wants to take away the shares in her hand.
Just like Penguin clearing Huya and Douyu in succession, after the market structure has been cleared and the harvesting stage has officially entered, it has become the favorite thing for big capital to let small shareholders go.
After all, eating the cake alone will benefit the most.
If you don’t have the strength to keep your shares, don’t even try to share the cake with us!
Such a situation made Li Meijing helpless.
Although she is the vice president of CJ Group who is backed by Samsung, how does Samsung compare with Microsoft?
To put it more harshly, if the mutual defense treaty between the United States and South Korea cannot be resolved, your things are mine!
Buy it, it's all for your face!
Note: ①During Zipperton’s administration, the United States had a budget surplus. Therefore, the core propaganda of Bush’s campaign was tax cuts. “The best use of surplus is to lower taxes.” This sentence was said by him himself. The policy written in the article is also a policy that he implemented immediately after he took office in 2001. After leaving office, the Congressional Budget Office made statistics. His ten-year tax cut bill reduced the US tax revenue by a total of 1.2 trillion. , In this case, he also fought a war... ②Comics are really cheap, five dollars and nine cents are basically the historical average price of Marvel. ③It is the general trend that comics are gradually moving closer to movies. Both Marvel and DC are gradually doing this, especially DC’s new 52 and rebirth plan. While learning from movies, they are also paving the way for movies.
