Chapter 86 becomes a treasure trove in miniature
However, two hours later, gamers from the future, going crazy...
"Oh, Shit!" When Roland's off-road vehicle was hit by Spielberg's car for the nth time, the feeling of embarrassment turned into anger, which made him put his head in his hands and curse, "Steven! This is a competition." Quick game!"
"But the problem is that this game doesn't punish the behavior of destroying other people's vehicles!" Looking at the little guy with sharp eyes, as if he was about to dig a piece of meat out of himself, he had already obtained by forcibly scrapping Roland's vehicle. Spielberg, who is 'shameless' victorious, does not have the director's posture of holding up the guide tube and pointing the country on weekdays?
"Fuck! Collisions should be classified as normal physical collisions, instead of destroying other people's vehicles through collisions as a winning game! This game is extremely immoral!" Roland refused to accept it, but he couldn't win. He could only be impotent and furious.
Although Roland spoke sweetly, Spielberg didn't mind at all. In other words, the pleasure of playing games online with friends was all reflected in the other party's "unwinnable and invincible rage".
At this moment, he smiled like a child, "Since there is no penalty for damage, it proves that my gameplay is fine, and it belongs to the special design of the game developer... Am I right, Mike?"
What?
You dare to stand on his side and try!
Although Roland's eyes can kill, and Mohamy wants to apologize for the bad game experience he encountered, but—
Spielberg is really right, using one's own skills to eliminate others is the core gameplay of their game.
"Yes, the ability of vehicles to attack each other is the biggest feature of our game."
Hearing these words, Roland stroked his hair vigorously, "Get lost!"
If you look at it from the perspective of thirty years later, the game "RPM Racing" is really bad.
Although Mohamy and the others 'referenced' the destructive competitive racing game produced by Electronic Arts six years ago, they adopted the other party's successful experience and produced a regular mode, a personal mode, and even the same as the Warcraft map editor in the future. You can create your own map and set your favorite route parameters, but its main gameplay is actually driving a car in an 'infinitely repeatable' scene. After a long time, it feels like a non-stop circle.
That feeling is like the "Lonely Desert Highway" that Pei Qian made up next door.
Abnormal sand sculpture.
Of course, unlike the game that is purely for losing money, the speed of life and death in the game "RPM Racing" is still very fast. Due to the bad operating feel, a little bit of force will cause the vehicle under control to oversteer , Therefore, the exhilaration of finishing the game was immediately replaced by a high level of concentration and unimaginable patience.
However, after adding the setting of the blood bar, concentration and patience, the real selling point of the whole game is reflected, because the control handle directly crashes the opponent's vehicle, which is also one of the ways to win!
Because of this, when Spielberg and Roland sat on the ground and ran for two laps, the gap between **** players and parent-care players suddenly appeared, just like the slogan that they often shout when they play masturbation in the future——
Team battles (games) can be lost, but Teemo (Roland) must die!
A good racing game was instantly turned into a violent motorcycle by them.
If it's a PS controller or an XBOX controller, Roland still has the confidence to kill the blind guy next to him.
But the problem is, is he not used to using this stupid controller of Nintendo?
This is really not Roland's nonsense!
What radio handles, pancake handles, **** handles, remote control handles, horseshoe handles…
These weird peripherals are all made by Nintendo!
No way, as a toy company that can make peripherals to lead the fashion trend, Roland really can't use these things!
He really wanted to yell, "Key!" if he could.
He thinks the keyboard is easier to use than this round or straight handle!
"No more! No more!"
As a player who can press enter in 0/9/0, complain to teammates 'what a broken server! My delay is over 1000! ’ A fine player, Roland dares to smash the game when he can’t feel any game experience!
And when he saw that the handle was lost, the little guy got up angrily, picked up a bottle of mineral water and poured it into his mouth desperately. He also leaned back with his head in his hands, "Stop playing?"
"Isn't this game very interesting?"
"Mike said you like games, but I didn't expect your interest to last for a while?"
"Who said that? It's obviously because the handle is not easy to use!"
At this moment, Roland perfectly explained what it means to throw the pot away. If possible, he even wanted to give the quality eight consecutive.
If you were someone else, you would definitely feel that Roland is abnormally tasteless now, but for Spielberg and Mohamy, this kind of behavior is normal—competitive games, if you lose and don’t complain, that’s called love games ?
Just like the square jungler, the gold medal lecturer who talks about me every day, treating every game with a normal heart is called going to work; Faker learns from Doinb after the game and changes to support, that is called playing games!
Because of this, after seeing Roland's dissatisfaction, Spielberg, who was in a good mood, invited him to his home to decide whether to fight again.
For Spielberg's proposal, Roland naturally would not refuse; not only that, he also attracted Mohamy, wanting to show this game developer who was about to **** himself off, the fun of the game , What kind of thing is it!
However, after he strolled around the game hall at Spielberg's house.
A cruel reality was placed in front of him.
He really can't play these old and antique arcade machines!
Even though he loved games in his previous life, he never touched an Atari game console!
And in this case, want to beat Spielberg where he excels?
Isn’t this special person out of his mind?
However, after losing countless games in a row, Roland finally found a game that he seemed to be able to win.
Actions can’t beat you, and those who break through levels are not familiar with levels, then we can play Tetris!
As a guy who can casually score hundreds of thousands of points with a Nokia mobile phone, Roland felt that it was impossible for him to lose!
And his idea is obviously correct.
As an "old-fashioned" who is not very used to using computers, Spielberg is not yet familiar with the operation, and Roland's score has already broken through the five-digit mark. So, after giving up debugging, he and Mo Hami stared at the computer screen from left to right. When they found that the suddenly falling cubes were as obedient as a Scottish round-faced chick in Roland's hands, the feeling of surprise was the same as the score. Continuously accumulating, soaring to the sky...
While watching the game, the two also noticed Roland himself.
The immersive and focused expression makes **** players and game developers gasp.
The two of them believed that in this field, perhaps only time could defeat Roland.
Because of this, at dinner time, when Roland, who won Spielberg, gnawed on the steak cheerfully, the joy on his face was like winning the first prize, and he almost didn't tell the world, saying that Spielberg It's his own subordinates who are defeated!
However, although he didn't brag in front of Spielberg, Roland, who had already played the game, started pointing at the dinner table, "Mike, your game is pretty good..."
"It's the feel that needs to be changed..."
"It's too difficult to learn, too difficult to operate, okay?"
"I think you need to lower the sensitivity by half."
"Guys like me who can easily control Tetris can't get started quickly. If you submit this kind of game, people who bought it and played it will probably curse..."
Although Roland in his previous life didn't dare to set foot on the stage where 'winners will keep his parents alive, loser will bring his family tree to heaven', but as the mouthful king of the first district, he will still criticize him—operation rules that don't meet my wishes are anti-human, He still understands this.
Of course, he's not talking hilariously now.
After all, Mohamy is one of his own people, and destroying their company is not in line with Roland's interests.
And the feel problem he mentioned, even Spielberg feels the same.
Don't look at this guy who has won Roland a lot, but he also used nearly twenty years of experience in video games to control it.
If you want the game "RPM Racing" to capture the hearts of the people, it is impossible to please only **** players.
If you want to make a game that the public likes to play, at least people of all ages and levels of operation must have a certain gaming experience. Before the company grows bigger, it can't be compared with the future " Like the Battlefield series and DOTA2, excluding those novice players, no matter how good their revenue is, they cannot surpass the Call of Duty series and LOL.
Just like when Taobao was first launched and the Taobao APP was first launched, Jack Ma had to operate it himself.
Let the programmers do it with a product, and there will definitely be accidents.
After all, in their view, many operations are actually very simple!
Why don't the public understand?
Isn't that because they are stupid?
If it was someone else, Mohamy would certainly not listen to their advice.
This is a game we made, it's none of your business!
But now, the guys who think there is a problem are Roland and Spielberg, so the situation is different.
To put it bluntly, the game was modified at the request of the two of them. Even if it can't be sold, Mohamy doesn't have to worry about the development funds for the next game. As long as these two people like it, throw them a small 100,000, and they can Nourishing is devoted to development, but what if it becomes popular? That proves that the experience of **** players is very useful!
When the time comes to earn money, won’t you be able to continue making games again…
So, in Mohamy's view, as long as you change it, you will definitely not lose money!
Of course, there seems to be something wrong with always talking about games at the dinner table.
And when Mohamy asked Roland whether the project of "Home Alone" would have a sequel, and the news group film community had discussed this issue many times, he already wanted to give the epitome of his own life to the straight Spielberg, Instead, while swallowing the beef, he said, "We have to wait until the release of "Terminator 2" to discuss this matter."
"If "Terminator 2" blows up, I will let Catherine (Kennedy) try to call you fifteen million."
"If you lose money, it depends on the situation, but you have to talk about 10 million for the guarantee."
"You don't have to worry about the film company's affairs. Although you are signed by CAA, I will let Catherine handle all kinds of invitations. What's more, you are not short of money now, right? It doesn't make much difference if it is earlier or later."
Fifteen million?
When Roland and Mohamy heard this number, they clicked their tongues immediately.
Roland is probably the group of people with the fastest salary promotion in Hollywood, right?
but…
It's normal to think about it.
In the previous life, Macaulay-Carkin could command a sky-high price of 8 million for the movie "Home Alone", but now, Roland has two URs as a base, and Spielberg personally asked people to talk about it. As for the salary, if the money doesn't go up, then something is wrong!
"but…"
"What if Fox says no?"
After taking a sip of the juice, Roland asked the doubts in his heart.
Although Fox is the most famous "taken for granted" in Hollywood, he is not a fool!
Give Roland 15 million, and the production cost will probably soar to 30 million!
However, in the face of Roland's inquiry, Spielberg did not raise his head. While cutting the steak, he said directly: "If you refuse, you will refuse. Are you afraid that there will be no project? Just follow us..."
"Lang (Howard)'s next project is "Ambition for the Earth", and it will be launched in May. Do you want to go?"
"Follow him and learn how to change from a child star to a director?"
"Robert (Zemeckis) is talking to Paramount about Forrest Gump, and if you get it, you can play the young Forrest Gump in it. If you want to improve your acting skills, I will let Tom (Hanks) teach you."
"Francis (Coppola)'s "Four Hundred Years of the Vampire" has been discussed. Don't you like his movie? If nothing else, it will start in October, and you just go there. This movie is also invested by Sony. of."
"There is also "The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones" jointly invested and produced by George (Lucas), but this is a TV series, you shouldn't be interested in it?"
"Robin (Williams) is going to dub Disney's "Aladdin". Are you interested in animation? If you are interested, I will let him take you to Disney to have a look. It doesn't matter. The chairman of their group and I are friends."
"Oh, by the way, "Jurassic Park" hasn't started casting yet. Have you seen the storyboard and are you interested in the little boy in it? It's the grandson of Dr. Hammond..."
Mohamy, who was obsessed with listening to the continuous project name, was taken aback for a while.
Grab the grass!
Is Roland's status in Spielberg's heart so high?
Any project can go?
In the eyes of ordinary people, those projects that only A-listers are worthy of tearing up are easier than eating and drinking in Spielberg's mouth. Of course, if it's just these, it's fine. Now he asked Roland to see What do you mean?
You must know that many of the techniques that have been stolen from the teacher are learned inexplicably just by watching!
If Roland were to know Mohamy's thoughts, then he would definitely bow down to him three times, thank you for this 'turtle grandson'.
If Mohamy hadn't moved out of the game console and cleaned up Spielberg's favorite Roland, he would definitely not use the game to touch this guy's bad luck, and once he didn't mention the game, Spielberg would definitely not use it now. Treat him with this attitude.
Of course, even if Roland is full of 'grateful' to Mohamy, this kind of emotion will not be released in this life, so, while listening to the project name, he naturally ignored Mohamy who has fallen into the BUFF of the melon-eating crowd.
Because for him, the projects Spielberg mentioned are so attractive!
"Ambition for the Earth" is the work of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, "Forrest Gump" is an epic work that can surpass "The Silence of the Lambs", and "The Four Hundred Years of Vampires" But it really embodies what is called "the mountain has no mausoleum, and the heaven and the earth are united, so dare to be with the king!" ’, "Aladdin" is Disney's turnaround work after years of sinking...
Compared with the above projects, he is most interested in "Jurassic Park".
Although he knew that the script would definitely be changed, let’s talk about it when it is changed!
While answering, Roland did not forget to tell Spielberg about his company.
After learning that Roland's guardian, David, who had brought out the essence of a businessman to the fullest, had already started thinking about avoiding taxes for Roland, Spielberg, who put down his knife and fork, immediately laughed.
"But the problem is that you signed the brokerage contract in your own name."
"Within two years, any of your projects can be done in your own name."
"What?"
"Then there is no way to avoid tax?"
Roland, who was originally happy because he beat Spielberg in the game and was able to enter and exit any project of the Jewish gang, his face suddenly grew. If he can't avoid taxes and wants to invest in the name of the company, then he actually has to pay two A tax!
Pay income tax first, and then you have to pay tax on the income you get from investment!
This special code is simply a blood loss!
Looking at Roland's beeping face, Spielberg actually had nothing to do.
Although he can discuss with CAA and let them and Roland terminate the contract peacefully, but...
Liquidated damages are things that cannot be escaped.
If liquidated damages are included, the money paid for double taxation by Roland is actually not much different.
Even if America's economic contract is not as bad as Mr. He revealed in the show in the future, let alone signing a hundred people, it will take ten years to make a profit by earning liquidated damages. Even a contract of more than five years, here nor.
But precisely because the time is short, the price of liquidated damages is still quite high. Unless it is really torn apart, no one is willing to pay the money.
In this way, the presence or absence of Roland's economic contract does not actually have much impact.
After hearing Spielberg's explanation, Roland was relieved.
Although paying two taxes makes him very unhappy, but he is not short of money!
Many people think that in the entertainment industry, singers come in the fastest, and singers are often at the top of the artist income charts, but in fact, the money earned by the real bigwigs is not film contracts.
In Roland's memory, Spielberg took away 250 million US dollars just because of "Jurassic Park".
You must know that this is still the money obtained when the global box office has not yet broken one billion, and a large part of the investment has gone from the world.
And like what Will Smith fans said later, the box office is unmatched...
But he earned less than a fraction of Spielberg.
After all, Marvel’s "Men in Black", which showed his funny skills, is only one of the many resources in Spielberg's hands...
Compared with copyrighted bosses like him, no matter how much money Taylor earns, she can't adapt her fate of breaking up with her former club.
The biggest fear of those in the mixed circle is that they have no resources.
Now that there are resources, it is the same to pay more tax or less tax.
What's more, the brokerage contract will expire in June 1992, and he won't be able to deduct much money for more than a year.
"Oh, by the way, at the Golden Globe Awards dinner, Francis and Martin told me that Michael wanted to ask me to shoot the MV?" After putting aside matters related to money, the conversation at the dinner table became more casual.
"But, after so long, they don't seem to get back to me?"
Spielberg obviously knew about this a long time ago. He picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth. He shook his head and said, "It was filmed a long time ago. I asked them to record and shoot the MV first."
"You wait until the filming of "Captain Hook" is finished, and then go, just add a title."
"Michael's problem is very troublesome. It has nothing to do with racial discrimination. You just know that someone wants to deal with him."
"Things are very complicated. It doesn't matter if you shoot a MV, just don't get involved. Although for my sake, they won't target you, but the public's mouth is not so easy to bet on..."
"Francis and Martin really thought things too simply. They didn't know the inside story, so they told you about it first."
"Anyway, you just don't care about these things. It's time to make movies and movies, and it's time to play games."
If it’s movies and games, Spielberg may be able to talk freely, but he doesn’t want to talk too much with Roland about racial issues related to Michael Jackson. After all, this is not their business!
Although we keep saying that we should resist racial discrimination.
But whenever people mention racism, isn’t it racism?
This deep-rooted contradiction has nothing to do with them. Spielberg knows who he should speak for. He will not do things that exceed the boundaries, and he will not let his own people fall into the pit.
Since Spielberg said so, Roland didn't care.
Anyway, he doesn't have much talent for singing, even if he shoots a MV, it's just like filming a movie.
As the official business came to an end, the dinner was coming to an end. After meeting Spielberg's wife and children who had returned home, Roland brought the script of "Jurassic Park" and asked Mohamy to present himself send home.
Note: ① In reality, "RPM Racing" sold well, and the game division supported them to develop two games at the same time. However, when it was exhibited at the retro arcade booth at the Blizzard Carnival in 2010, people found that this game was really boring. Friends who like to fight with each other can play it comfortably, and it is easy to get bored playing alone. And the operation feel is really problematic. After the exhibition, some people dug up the media comments of the year. They felt that the game operation was anti-human, so that Blizzard, in order to cover up the black history, very arrogantly removed the development process of this game from its official website. It was deleted. ②Ron Howard was also a child actor, and he started filming when he was one and a half years old. ③In the first version of the script of "Jurassic", it is not sister and brother, but brother and sister. ④ It is true that "Jurassic" cost Spielberg 250 million, because Universal begged Spielberg to shoot. He wanted to shoot "Schindler" first, but Universal's owner at the time, the United States The president of the music company knew that if the thing that Spielberg's father had prepared for half his life was shot, he would definitely get a soft hand, and then asking him to make "Jurassic" would not be the current price, so they would rather uphold it. For a high score, let him shoot "Jurassic" first. ⑤ "Men in Black" is an IP acquired by Marvel. It was originally Aircel comics, and later Aircel comics were acquired by Malibu comics, and then acquired by Marvel. Spielberg does not resist superheroes. Since the 1970s, he has wanted to get IP. The "Hollywood Reporter" also said that he wanted to make DC "Black Hawk", but I don't think it can be done.
