Spielberg is a resolute person. After confirming that Deep Space Company would have no harm in taking over "Shrek", he immediately became interested.
"Mr. Yu, can you call Jimmy and ask where he is?"
Yu Liang smiled and nodded, "Of course, I'll call Mr. Ji's office first."
Then Yuliang picked up the phone and dialed. After the call was connected, he said a few words, and then said to Spielberg, "It happens that Mr. Ji just came back from outside and is in the office right now. I brought him
Go over and find him."
"Thank you very much."
Yiliang took Spielberg to Jimmy's office on the top floor.
Jimmy had also just come back from outside. When Yuliang called him, he was making himself tea. Hearing that Spielberg was coming, he made another cup.
When Spielberg went up, Jimmy smiled and handed him a cup of tea, "I heard from Yu Liang that you want to see me if you have something to do?"
"It has something to do with the game."
Spielberg nodded and took Jimmy's tea. Although he had already drank tea at the margin and was not thirsty at this time, he knew that in China, whether it is casual chat or serious business, tea is the most important thing.
necessary.
Jimmy had already anticipated Spielberg's intention. He blew the foam on the water in his tea cup and said with a smile, "Do you think our game is suitable for joint development with "Shrek"?"
"Yes, especially "Lian Lian Kan", it can be said to be a perfect fit with "Shrek"." Spielberg imitated Jimmy and blew the foam in the tea cup, and continued, "Actually,
I have thought about many possibilities regarding the "Shrek" game, and one of them is to cooperate with your Deep Space Company."
"You mean "Runaway"?"
Spielberg raised his eyebrows, shook his head and smiled, "It seems like you can guess everything."
"It's easy to guess. After all, we don't have many games in deep space, and before "Lian Lian Kan", it was indeed "Runaway" that was most suitable for "Shrek." In fact, I have thought about this before, and it is true
It is feasible. If Deep Space Company really wins "Shrek" in the future, it is not impossible to add a map to "Runaway"."
When talking about business, the most important thing is to attack the heart, and Jimmy's words immediately spoke to Spielberg's heart.
His current goal is to successfully launch the "Shrek" project, and it is best to add some budget.
But now it seems that Deep Space Company can not only do these two things, but also give this movie a good start.
If Deep Space Company can really add a "Shrek" themed map to "Runaway" and then add a themed level to "Lian Lian Kan", then the box office of this movie after its release is basically guaranteed.
Even if you can't make a lot of money, you won't lose money.
Spielberg is also one of the copyright holders of "Shrek". Even if Deep Space Company releases "Shrek" later, this will not change, so if the movie can make money, he can make money too.
"Jimmy, when are you going to talk to Jeffrey about 'Shrek'?" Spielberg asked.
"Didn't I say last time that I would wait until after the New Year to discuss this matter with DreamWorks, and the acquisition of PDI should also be discussed at the same time. I have to grasp it with both hands, and if everything goes smoothly by then, I will
It is estimated that the production plan of "Shrek" will be restarted in half a year."
When Spielberg heard that Jimmy was not in a hurry, he became anxious, "This is too slow. There is an old saying in China that the quickest knife cuts the mess. Now Jeffrey and the others haven't figured it out yet, so they are not interested in "Shrek"."
Pay special attention to it, you don't have to pay much to win "Shrek". Once Jeffrey and the others figure it out and take this movie seriously, it won't be easy to talk about."
Jimmy couldn't help but laugh, "Steven, this is not what you should say as the boss of DreamWorks."
"I have no choice. Since they don't agree with my proposal, of course I have to help "Shrek" choose a better place."
In fact, Spielberg also did it for DreamWorks' benefit.
Although he is very optimistic about the "Shrek" project, the problem is that there are differences of opinion within the company. In this case, no one can convince anyone, and it will only cause losses to the company.
It would be better for everyone to get rid of "Shrek" as soon as possible.
People led by Jeffrey who are unwilling to invest more in the "Shrek" project will undoubtedly be very happy. Not only have they solved the internal conflicts within the company, they can also make a small amount of money, so that the early work will not be in vain.
busy.
After thinking about it, Spielberg simply said, "How about this? I'll contact you about this matter. Contact me today, and I will help you explain the matter clearly to Jeffrey and the others. As for PDI, I will also
I will help you contact Rosendahl. He is currently seeking financial support for his company. This is a good time for you. If you miss it, it will not be so easy for them to find other funding sources."
Jimmy looked at Spielberg with a smile. He didn't expect that this guy would be so active as soon as the game came out, and he would even take the initiative to help contact him.
But that's fine. With Spielberg actively working in the middle, this matter should go more smoothly.
Especially with PDI, as far as Jimmy knows, Rosendahl, the founder of PDI, has a very good relationship with Spielberg, and Spielberg's words must be very useful to him.
Jimmy didn't show any pretense, he nodded and said, "In that case, I'll trouble you about this matter."
"You're welcome, I can only help contact you, but you still need to discuss the specific details."
"no problem."
…
Jimmy originally thought that even if Spielberg helped contact him, it would take time, but what he didn't expect was that Spielberg contacted Jeffrey and Rosendahl respectively that night and told them the matter.
Jeffrey was very happy to hear that Deep Space Company was interested in taking over "Shrek". During this time, he was having a headache about this matter.
After all, the "Shrek" plan has already been launched, and the company has invested a lot in this plan. If we give up now, the previous efforts will directly become losses. But if we want to continue, we will have to invest more.
Moreover, the future is unpredictable and the losses may be even greater.
Now that Deep Space wants to take over, it is of course the best thing. More importantly, Steven is willing to hand over this plan to other companies, which can fundamentally solve the company's internal problems.
The two sides immediately joined forces, and Jeffrey quickly set up a negotiation team to connect with Deep Space.
On the other hand, Rosendahl is also very interested in deep space and expressed his willingness to discuss cooperation.
Although Jimmy was surprised, he responded quickly and quickly organized people to negotiate with DreamWorks and PDI. If nothing unexpected happened, preliminary results would be achieved before the Chinese New Year.
…
While Jimmy was busy buying "Shrek" and acquiring PDI, deep space was experiencing a different kind of storm.
The discussion about "The Curse" lasted until nine o'clock in the evening, but the discussion did not end. After Zhang Zuohai returned, he found an Internet cafe and wrote a post overnight, comprehensively expressing his views on the novel "The Curse".
Before coming to the Deep Space Park, Zhang Zuohai had already published a paper discussing "The Curse", but after listening to everyone's discussion this time, he had new insights.
In the previous paper, Zhang Zuohai analyzed "Curse" from the perspective of narrative space, but this time his perspective is broader and more casual.
"The confusion and light of ethical choice."
"Compromise and struggle, accommodation and justification."
"Analysis of A Yuan's Personality Structure."
"An ecological interpretation of "The Curse" in the context of war."
This time, Zhang Zuohai did not limit himself, but wrote whatever came to his mind.
Before writing this post, Zhang Zuohai told Yu Hua and others that if they wanted to continue the discussion, they could continue in deep space, so Yu Hua and others searched for this post and continued to discuss "Curse" in the post.
[Bi Donghua: I think that when interpreting the character A Yuan, we cannot only focus on the era and break away from the perspective. The same era will show different appearances from different perspectives. I think...]
[Xiao Bao: The author deliberately set A Yuan’s specific identity as an unsolved case. In fact, it can better reflect the unstoppable torrent of the times. In the natural and violent tide of the times, an individual’s will is wrapped in the tide, and it is difficult to express his own cry.
Sound. When I saw the tragic experience of A Yuan, what I thought of was also the thousands of revolutionaries besides him. These people are all...]
[Lattice Book: Many people ignore Yu Dong's description of the childhood of the Qin family old man and A Yuan when interpreting "Curse" because there is not much writing in this part, but I think it is precisely this
Part of the content reflects the growth of human nature. Only by understanding how human nature grows and changes during this process can we understand what the curse actually symbolizes.】
[Qu Tiexin: I think the grid book is right. Mr. Mo from France also mentioned this during the chat. Whether it is childhood or adolescence, although there is not much ink, Yu Dong’s description of growth is not crude.
It’s an understatement, but it’s a foreshadowing laid out layer by layer.]
[Old Zhao Yiyi Umbrella: I actually saw more content about national identity from this novel. After the Qin family moved to Baodao with gmd, what happened to their family involved a process of identification and integration. The region
Culture had a huge impact on this.】
…
This post quickly became a forum for Zhang Zuohai and his group to discuss "Curse".
Previously, only Zhang Zuohai and his friends posted replies in this post, but soon, this post attracted the attention of some netizens.
Liu Jinfa, like most netizens, has been paying attention to the content of the Deep Space Annual Conference in the past two days.
Nowadays, there are live broadcasts on the news every day, but it still cannot satisfy the curiosity of netizens, so after the live broadcast ended, Deep Space was filled with a large number of posts related to the Deep Space Annual Conference.
On this day, Liu Jinfa had just read several posts related to the Deep Space Annual Conference, and suddenly saw a post related to "Curse" appearing in the middle. He took a closer look and saw that the poster was still Zhang Zuohai.
As a loyal reader of Yu Dong, Liu Jinfa has long followed the famous Yu Dong scholar Zhang Zuohai. When he has nothing to do, he will click on Zhang Zuohai's homepage to see if there are any new posts.
Since I have been paying attention to the Deep Space Annual Conference in the past two days, I didn’t specifically click on it. I didn’t expect to suddenly see his post.
The title of the post is very generic and not very attractive.
[Talk about "Curse" again, thoughts]
Although the title was very simple, Liu Jinfa clicked in without any hesitation, and then saw Zhang Zuohai's long and comprehensive interpretation.
This is not over yet, there are actually many people interacting with Zhang Zuohai, and the things they talk about are very thoughtful.
Although there are many posts discussing literature in deep space, and everyone is very enthusiastic, this is the first time Liu Jinfa has seen such a high-level discussion post. Every comment posted by everyone under this post seems to be
not simple.
Some are very professional and academic, while others are sharp and have unique insights.
The most important thing is that these people seem to know each other, and sometimes they will mention other people in their replies, such as Mr. Mo and Mr. Ke from France, Miss Olympiad from the United States, and Miss Ai from Canada.
Looking back, Liu Jinfa felt something was wrong, because he saw several familiar nicknames.
Such as stone flowers, such as Bi Donghua.
These two accounts have always been listed as key suspects. The former is believed to be Yu Hua, while the latter is believed to be Bi Feiyu.
After seeing these two names, Liu Jinfa narrowed his eyes. Are they really Yu Hua and Bi Feiyu?
If they are really Yu Hua and Bi Feiyu, then who are the other people? Are they also famous writers?
Who are the Mr. Mo, Miss Ao, and Miss Ai they are talking about?
With a mentality of solving crimes, Liu Jinfa began to study these people's comments one by one, hoping to find some clues to detect the identities of these people.
…
A few hours later, Liu Jinfa let out a long breath, and in front of him was a piece of paper with some names listed on it.
Yu Hua, Bi Feiyu, Wang Anyi, Tielin, Oates, Alice, Ge Fei...
Looking at the names he listed, Liu Jinfa's eyes were a little excited. He felt that he had discovered an incredible treasure. These famous writers were all hidden in one post.
With excitement, Liu Jinfa was about to try to participate in the discussion among the big guys, but he found that the post suddenly became lively, and a large group of people suddenly flooded in.
Chapter completed!
