Chapter 154 Dedicated Roland, the blueprint of dreams

Reese Witherspoon?

To be honest, I might as well choose Marion Cotillard.

Hearing this name, a pink lawyer's attire appeared in Roland's mind.

"Legally Blonde" made Reese Witherspoon touch the tail of the A-list, and the sequel's hit the street made her fall back again, but the title of America's sweetheart is solid, but she just jumped up and down When the coffee position was unstable, "Walking with the Song" with River Phoenix's younger brother Joaquin saved her life.

Maybe it’s because the actor’s path is not easy to walk. Reese’s choice is to make a biographical film and transform into a producer. After seeing the popularity of “Twilight” and “The Hunger Games”, she bought “The Vanishing” "Lover", and founded his own company, invested in David Fincher, and finally let Roland remember her works, that is, "Big Little Lies" whose appearance was crushed by Nicole Kidman, and her girlfriends Jennifer Aniston's "Morning News."

Compared with those actresses who Roland used Facebook and INS to follow for a long time in his previous life, Reese's figure is very vague in his memory, and what he remembers most is Reese, who was born in 1976. Guy, in the "Vanity Fair" filmed in 2004, she played the male protagonist of "Twilight" and the mother of Robert Pattinson born in 1986. Although the role was eventually deleted, she is in the circle In the eyes of Yan Beng, Yan Beng's is actually quite fast; of course, if these alone are far from being the reason for Roland to remember them for more than ten years, the movie that really makes him remember the dark history of the two will be released every year. "Tears for Elephants".

In the movie, Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon became a couple.

Seven years ago, they were mother and son, and they fell in love seven years later.

The power brought about by the promotion of the coffee is so magical. When the work hits the market, you have to play whatever role the producer gives you. After taking the actress, transforming into a producer, and making achievements, everything is everything. easy to say.

As for why Roland pays attention to these hit works?

Is there too much time and no place to use it?

fart!

If it wasn’t for Fox’s release of Scarlett Johansson’s audition for “Elephant Tears”, how could Roland pay attention to Robert Pattinson’s movie? He doesn't like movies like "Twilight" at all, okay!

Even less interested in the Twilight fanfic "Fifty Shades of Grey"!

Why…

Sure enough, I love deeply, and there are only two I have liked for so many years.

That schoolbag Du who always wanted to drink the bath water, can he be more dedicated than him?

Of course, this year's Reese Witherspoon's appearance is quite good, otherwise she wouldn't be able to sell more than 100 million at the box office with just a single face, but for Roland, what really matters is , not actually herself.

is the school in the words of the truck driver.

"You said she just got into Stanford this year?" Roland re-read the materials pushed by the other party.

"Yeah." The truck driver was a little puzzled, "Is there any problem? She started school in the spring."

"If you think she's a bit older, then we'll take Michelle Williams."

Katherine Kennedy on the side added: "She is also within our range of candidates."

Yes, Michelle Williams, who fell in love with Heath Ledger in the future and gave birth to a daughter for him, and starred in the controversial "My Week with Monroe", was not born from grass roots.

This year (94th) the newly released "New Spirit Dog Lacey" has her figure. Although the box office of this movie is close to over 10 million, the discs are selling very well. After learning After the audition, her resume also appeared on the data sheet.

However, Michelle Williams might as well be Reese Witherspoon!

Although the other party will only have two movies, everyone wants to work with beautiful women, right?

Besides, what Roland cares about is not age.

But Stanford.

For Roland, Stanford is a magical school, where Vinton Cerf, one of the co-designers of the TCP/IP protocol and Internet architecture, Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page , HP founders David Packard and William Hewlett, Cisco founder Lerner and Yahoo founders Jerry Yang and David Filo.

As a guy who just traveled through time and was reborn, he wanted to gnaw out "From Introductory to Burial" and naturally he would not let go of these opportunities for free money. Before the Simpson case broke out, he wanted to use Kaizi's personality Let these guys know that he has money and no place to spend it, and now, with all the talk show announcements being cancelled, he can't find a channel to release the news, right? Besides, how many people can really see this kind of news that doesn't have a hit movie to match it?

In this way, finding it yourself becomes the key.

Simpson opened his eyes to the instability of free rein.

Sometimes I want to be lazy and not take the initiative to attack. If I miss it, it will be a lifetime.

However, after he tried the domain name countless times at home according to the memory of his previous life, he didn't try anything!

If Google has not yet been established, it is natural not to find it.

You can enter Yahoo, but you can’t find Yahoo’s official website. What the **** is this!

He firmly believes that it is impossible for him to remember Yahoo’s URL wrongly. When a bunch of classmates were using hao123, he typed the URL to find the official website by himself. He has typed Yahoo’s URL for many years.

As for Yahoo not established?

That's even more nonsense!

During the period when the alien Ma Yun became the richest man, reports about Yahoo and Softbank emerged endlessly. Various media reported their fortune history. Roland remembered clearly that the one who was rated by the media as missing Google, Facebook, etc. , Microsoft's Yahoo, which was created in early 1994! In early 1995, it received investment from Sequoia Capital!

Therefore, in the absence of media publicity, one of the creators of the Internet miracle at the end of the 20th century will not come to him in vain. Although Yahoo hit the street all the way in the end, its market value fell from 100 billion to 4.8 billion and was acquired , from occupying the number one throne in the global Internet rankings, to leaving sadly without keeping his name, the story of the fall of this giant is very unpleasant.

But Roland doesn't care!

Jerry Yang and David Filo have nothing to do with whether they are stubborn or not?

Chose Yahoo for money!

Compared with making a movie, grabbing the copyright, hugging Berkshire Hathaway tightly, and stealthily grabbing a bear hair, investing in Yahoo and then selling the stock to cash in is the easiest, safest, and safest The fastest way to make money!

Sequoia Capital invested 2 million in 1995, and when it went public one year later, it directly doubled by 250 times!

Sun Zhengyi invested a total of 102 million before listing, accounting for 35% of the shares, but one year later, he sold 5% of the stocks and made a profit of 450 million! It's faster than robbing a bank!

Compared with Soros shorting the Thai baht, the initial cost of investing in Yahoo is even lower!

The reason why Roland dared to promise Elizabeth to build her a zoo when she was ten years old was because of Yahoo!

And to kill the media giant Disney, you have to ask for money, okay?

In the territory of America, the last five can be laughed at, but the division of NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, UPN, and WB is over! And all kinds of cable stations and toll stations are almost all their subsidiaries!

As a guy who mainly plays media and secondarily plays real estate, entertainment revenue accounts for less than 20% of Disney's total revenue. If you want to engage him, one "Titanic" a year, and ten lifetimes in a row, is also rejected. People press down on the ground and step on it!

At this time, the Disney film industry is indeed in decline, but they have the money to buy it!

So finding Yahoo is a must!

First invest in the other party, and then when the market value skyrockets, you can find a taker!

Yes, there is no need to wait for the Internet bubble to burst, because the money slowly cashed out can do a lot of things!

For example, Sun Zhengyi himself said that before Amazon went public, Jeff Bezos asked him to invest and sell 30% of the shares for 130 million yuan, but Sun Zhengyi only came up with 100 million yuan, and it finally fell through?

Let’s say, Sergey Brin and Larry Page want to sell Google’s web crawler algorithm for one million?

For example, when Jobs returned to Apple in 1996, Apple’s share price was less than a dollar per share?

There are too many things that can be done!

Roland is not greedy either. He knows that even if he has money, he can’t eat all of these things. People will target him for eating alone. Epstein is a typical example. Besides, he doesn’t understand company operations. He didn't have time to stare at these things, he just seized the opportunity with the idea of ??taking advantage of a little advantage.

It is of course the best to be able to pull up the industrial chain of terminals, software, and content services. If you can’t pull it off, you can kill Disney with a green knife, but—

Regardless of whether it is money or the industrial chain, you must want the green Franklin!

But the problem is...

Now he can't find Yahoo!

This is a bit embarrassing!

He even set a timeline for himself. In mid-November, Aunt Ganetti will take the Olsen sisters to film "James of the Brave". If he hasn't found Yahoo by then, then I can only ask David to go to Stanford to help him find Jerry Yang, and I don’t know if you want money for this kind of thing, but I want to vote for your behavior, so I can only find someone to help him take the blame!

In the case of truckers who don't understand the internet—

He can only pin the blame on Cole Needham in England or Mike Mohamy in Irvine!

Roland thought they wouldn't mind, because their beloved industry also had to burn money to develop!

However, with the appearance of Reese Witherspoon, Roland felt that he might not need to wander around the Internet alone. After scanning the other party's resume, he found that the other party had not arranged to shoot in the first half of this year. After the blank period of "should have time to go to school", he knocked on the table and said, "No, no, no, I have no objection, let her be."

"Okay, take the contract and sign her." Since Roland and the truck driver have no objections, Katherine Kennedy doesn't have to stay here. After leaving all the work to Sony's production director, she has something to do. She was busy and left early.

"Bridges of Madison County", "Congo Psychic", "Potu the Dog", "Raiders of the Magic Cabinet" and other projects are all led by her. If they really run one by one, it will be too late even if they are cloned, and they will control the overall situation , Leaving things to others is the way for these producers to make real money. Without interpersonal relationships, the position of producers is not stable.

"I'm leaving too, call me if you need something." The same goes for the truck driver. Although he has divorced Catherine Bigelow, he still invested in and wrote the script for "Storm of the Last Century" directed by the other party. acting as producer.

The entire film is in production and will meet you in the second half of next year.

Even if the relationship is not good, 42 million real money has already been spent, and the announcement party is also Fox, which has a long-term cooperation with the truck driver. In this way, the quality of the movie really has to be checked by him.

Although divorced couples are working together after three years, this kind of thing sounds like the 110-year-old Boy Scouts Association of America filing for bankruptcy. In Wen Soderbergh's bald-headed "Contagion", after the little pepper was green and cute, he called the other party to tell him I love you, and Roland didn't have much doubt about the truck driver's behavior. , After all, reality illuminates the movie!

In the era when Tetris can drive, it is not surprising that anything happens to him!

Besides! The truck driver is not yet married to Linda Hamilton who gave birth to her own child!

It’s not considered cheating if you’re not married, so what does he like!

With the two of them leaving, Roland was relieved. After all, with them around, things are not easy to unfold!

After the production director showed up with the proposed contract, Roland, who was a guest supervisor, also followed out.

Although the on-site staff had cleared the scene long before the results were finalized, and everyone left with the results, and Reese Witherspoon knew that she had been selected, but when she saw Roland, that This kind of excitement is still immeasurable—"Geewhiz! I really didn't expect such a result!"

"Do you want to shout 'Damn'? When I first found out that I was selected by the director, I was as excited as you!" Since I had met before and these guys were here for me, Roland Then there is no birth point.

"Oh, I usually like to use 'Mygod'." Reese saw Roland responding to herself with a smile, the girl who was three years older than Roland immediately covered her mouth, and said embarrassedly: "I prefer to use 'Damn' to scold people."

"Really? Then you can tell James this oral habit, I think that guy will modify his tone according to your speaking habits." Roland tilted his head slightly and suggested.

Hearing these words, Reese Witherspoon suddenly showed an unexpected expression.

She did not expect that Roland would be so friendly when they met for the first time.

After seeing the other party cover up his surprise with a smile, Roland knew that the first greeting after confirmation could stop here.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to formally get to know you who was chosen by Catherine and James. Before the filming officially starts, I will be here every morning. If you have any questions, you can come to me."

What?

These words made Reese even more surprised, and just when she was in a daze, the agent who brought her here quickly echoed with a smile: "She was overwhelmed by the excitement, after all, you are the biggest card she has ever seen!" After receiving the script, I will stare at her and read it carefully, and if there is any problem, I will definitely come to communicate with you."

Note: ① I looked through the comments and saw that there were candidates for all three, so I picked the one who could promote the main plot. I have all three alternatives, and I can write about anyone, but the other two are sidelines, and one is an expansion The film company, another perfect music company, said it because I won't write about those two lines! As for why you didn't choose South African diamonds, it's the same as the two book friends 'HIY' and 'Xiao'an's Big Green Bull'. . And Reese, after being a mother in "Vanity Fair" for a while, is going to find her back, and she complains about her disgust, which is already the most childish revenge in the circle. There are other materials, but the scale is acceptable. ② Cameron’s relationship experience is indeed magical. He and Linda have children, and they also invested in Bigelow’s movies. Gail Hurd said that he couldn’t understand him in the early stage. She commented that Cameron didn’t understand love. After being able to vote for "The Terminator", he decisively divorced his wife, but when he saw him, he was racing while chasing grass. He didn't want to be with him at all. After meeting Perelman later, they divorced. ③ Sun Zhengyi is unwilling to invest an extra 30 million in Amazon. They have explained the reason themselves. The 30% is from the minority shareholders who invested in it from the very beginning, because Bezos asked his father and relatives to raise money when he started his business. , so he needs a little more premium to persuade those who helped him at the beginning, and Sun Zhengyi asked him to pay the money himself.
