Hollywood Hunter

Coming to the computer room in the villa, Simon chose a properly configured computer to open and installed the iCam floppy disk into the floppy drive.

Girl C sat down next to her and said, "I have built Tinkerbell's official website. You can download a simplified version of Photoshop software for image browsing and processing."

In front of Simon is a Compaq computer with Windows3.0 system. In addition to the simplest self-contained drawing software, there is no special picture browsing tool.

In fact, many functions that were later commonplace are not yet available on the Windows operating system.

For example, the'Start' button.

Simon once thought about whether to make a "start" button software in advance and sell it to the students at the gate and then exchange some Microsoft stock. Think about it or not.

Already holding 20% ​​of Microsoft's shares, basically counts as its own company.After all, the plug-in tool software and the system integration function are different, and doing so may interfere with the overall architecture of the Windows operating system, and it is not worth the loss.

Asked about Tinkerbell's website address, Simon quickly downloaded and installed the simple version of Photoshop, and opened the floppy disk photo just taken at the gym.

In addition to image browsing, this simple version of Photoshop also provides basic functions such as image cropping, brightness adjustment, and adding text. It is similar to the functions that come with smartphones in Simon's memory, but there are no further types of beautification filters for the time being.

The 100,000-pixel 320*320 resolution picture occupies roughly a quarter of the layout on the 17-inch 800*600 resolution monitor that Simon is using.

According to Simon’s later standards, both the display and the picture are rough.

However, just posting pictures on the Igrid blog, the current computer configuration is more than enough, and the image quality is not bad.

Although Simon invited a large number of celebrities to enter the Igret blog, he did not have a certified personal account.

Of course, there is definitely a trumpet.

Logging in to his vest on Igerett’s blog, Simon is trying to send a picture. Think about this picture of C girl. Realizing that it is not correct, she directly painted the picture completely black with a paint bucket. The big'Dark' word is then uploaded.

An inexplicable blog post soon appeared on the vest account.

Claire next door only found it interesting.

The name of the boss's vest turned out to be psychic Simon.

The personal profile also reads meticulously to undertake various psychic ghost-hunting tasks. It costs $1,000 each time, so don’t bother.

Looking back, the previous blog posts are basically all kinds of content related to the spirits of the gods, ghosts, spirits, and very professional appearance.

Simon didn't explain that this account was a play ticket that he and Janet tinkered with. In private, it was more that Janet was making fun, and even teased the guy who came to consult with a private letter.

After finishing the blog post, Simon didn't care about the C girl who found this little thing that was irrelevant, but said: "The effect is not bad, you should also find out that the content of the picture will be one of the key areas of the Igrid portal's focus 1. In fact, Igrid Blog can open the album function at any time, but it is not implemented for the time being because of the lack of content sources. So, C, what are you going to do next?"

Claire withdrew his thoughts on Simon's blog vest and said, "The first batch of these 1,000 cameras, I intend to mainly use to collect user experience data for improvement or to solve possible problems.

Simon nodded slightly, thought for a while, and said quickly: "So, the first batch of these 1,000 iCams, I arranged to buy all Igrid, and then arranged a free trial event among blog users, 1000 active blogs The trial report that users feedback regularly should be enough for you to improve."

Claire actually thinks so.

Since her boss offered to take the initiative, she immediately agreed.

The cost of 1,000 iCams is actually only 320,000 US dollars, which is not worth mentioning compared to the tens of millions of dollars in marketing and promotion expenses that Igrid Portal currently invests every month.

Simon noticed the expression of girl C and smiled.

As long as iCam is popularized, it will definitely be beneficial to enrich the content of the current Internet platform.

Therefore, this project is what Simon intends to focus on.

Claire didn’t make a quick success, but Simon didn’t plan to do it step by step, and then added another fire: “However, after all, 1,000 units are too few, so I’ll help you with a $5 million loan to completely remove Tinkerbell The company’s framework is built, and then 10,000 iCams will be produced as soon as possible. Of course, this time you need to find a way to sell it yourself."

Girl C heard the words, and her eyes lit up suddenly, and she couldn't help but suffer towards Simon.

There is a desire to hug my boss and kiss him.

Claire is actually not as confident as Simon in iCam.However, the investment of 1 million US dollars in this project is indeed not enough in her view.

However, the first investment, the Vase Fund took 50% of the shares, she and another partner Neil Brantley each had only 25%.If more funds are required, her equity will be further diluted.Not only that, but her share in the vase fund will also drop a lot.

If this project fails, she is not sure if she can continue with other investments.

Now Simon’s understatement of the $5 million loan immediately solved all her needs.

The amount of the vase fund will not be reduced, its own equity will not be diluted, and it can immediately set Tinkerbell on the right track.

You have to know that this 5 million US dollars can not only play the role of setting up the framework of Tinkerbell and to regenerate 10,000 iCams.

The most important thing is the business operation experience that can be brought to her in this process.

Through the next 10,000 iCam's experience in component procurement, machine assembly, advertising marketing and even product sales, Claire can basically thoroughly understand the various skills required to run such a company.

Apple was founded in 1976 and has grown rapidly.

However, as a super giant in the computer industry, IBM with profound knowledge did not successfully enter the PC field until the 1980s. Other companies such as Compaq and Dell have developed more lagging. The biggest reason is that Apple has advanced in advance. Mastered various experiences in operating a personal computer company.

One step ahead, often can lead step by step.

In the field of digital cameras, whether it is Japanese manufacturers such as Sony and Panasonic, or local giants such as Kodak, the accumulation of technology is much stronger than that of Tinkerbell who is only a Caotai team.

Neil Brantley used to spend a lot of spare time, coupled with the busyness of the last few months to create this iCam, in the hands of Sony and other manufacturers, may be able to develop a prototype in a month.

However, as long as Tinkerbell takes the lead in this field, once the rise of card cameras, Tinkerbell can also be fearless in the face of competition from those traditional camera manufacturers.

Of course, the problem now is to take as many steps as possible in advance.

This is another benefit brought by Simon's $5 million loan.

Claire couldn't help but think that if the project was unsuccessful, with a $5 million loan, she might not be able to afford it.

Ok.

Anyway, there is a boss.

Five million dollars is nothing to this young man.

Even if...

It’s a big deal, so I sell my debts and work for him for a few more years.

Simon looked at girl C's eyes shining brightly, knocked on the table with a smile, and said: "I want to add that this 5 million loan is just I brought you from the bank, with interest, and then also You can only pay it yourself."

Claire nodded without hesitation: "Well, I pay it myself."

"So simple? It sounds like a child will guarantee to finish his homework on time."

Claire completed her homework on time from childhood to metropolis, but the girl looked at Simon intently and said, "Yeah, I can't help it if I don't get there yet."

Simon felt the look of girl C wanting to'eat people', turned off the computer, and got up: "Okay, go prepare breakfast, I'll call Jenny to get up."

Claire also got up and followed Simon's side step by step, hesitated for a little, and finally couldn't help saying: "Boss, do you want to take a shower first?"

"Ok?"

"There is also a bathroom downstairs. I can help you get your clothes changed."

"Aren't you afraid that Jenny suddenly rushed in and beat you up?"

"Husbands don't," Claire said, and suddenly said, "If the boss wants to fight, you can do it too, don't use too much force."

"..."

Claire bent the corner of her mouth as she watched her boss speed up.

The strategy failed again.

However, it seems to have found a direction?

The Great Civic Auditorium in downtown Hollywood.

The premiere of "Batman: The Dark Knight" is still held here like the first song.

At about 5:30 in the afternoon, the black extended concierge stopped at the entrance of the red carpet, and Famique Jensen in a red dress stepped out of the door.

With the support of Daenerys Entertainment, he has participated in an Oscar award ceremony before, and appeared on the red carpet outside the hall of the Holy Citizen for the second time, feeling the fanatic atmosphere around him. Feeling excited.

This highly anticipated feeling is probably something that many Hollywood superstars are fascinated by.

Vanity Fair, Vanity Fair.

The higher the climb, the less profitable it is. The more important it is, it is probably just the name.

"Wonder Woman" will soon start shooting, but before that, everyone already knows her upcoming role.

This time appearing on the red carpet is not just for publicity, but she will appear in this movie tonight. Although the time is short and short, it is also the first time to officially appear as Wonder Woman .

With cries of'Diana','Wonder Woman' and so on, Famick Jensen silently adjusted his breath and pace, waved at the fans on both sides from time to time, and finally passed through the red blanket.

Entering the media area, I cooperated with several sets of photos, for the reporter to ask questions about the shooting of "Wonder Woman" aloud, just laugh and talk.

Finally got the appearance process, led by the staff to go to the background first, her PR came over, and patiently urged her to refrain from doing it after a certain posture on the red carpet just patiently.

When he first became his own public relations manager, the PR, which is said to be brought out personally by Hollywood PR Queen Pat Kingsley, was obviously a bit dismissive of her.

Probably regarded her as a vase that some big man cares for freely.

Now, along the way, especially after finalizing her role as Wonder Woman, that pride has long since disappeared.

However, this woman in her thirties is very capable, and she listens carefully and does most of the other's suggestions.

It was just a little emotion in my heart.

Finally got out.

In the past few years, her life has been tight, and she still has a debt of $500,000.

After confirming that she will star in "Wonder Woman", Hollywood has gathered a lot of producers to want her to appear in various other films, and there are a lot of heroines.

It's just that she couldn't play any one without Daenerys' entertainment approval.

Think about it too.

Daenerys Entertainment has put so much money on her in recent years, how can it be used by others to consume popularity.

It is impossible to agree to change oneself.

Entering the background, PR signaled her a certain direction and disappeared voluntarily.

Looking at it, Westeros has arrived early and is chatting with the director of "Batman: The Dark Knight" Jan De Bont and several other male and female creatives, so he walked over.

For the young man who is already in power in Hollywood, Farmick Jensen finds himself very blind.

such as.

I originally thought I could get the role and give something that a woman can give, probably it is necessary.

However, in the past few years, he just let her accompany to a party, and did not take her away afterwards.

I remember very clearly that at the end of that party, she could not find him.Until now, I can't help but feel a sense of frustration.

It took a long time, and it seems to have figured out some things.

It seems that he prefers women older than him. Some gossip tabloids have also sneakily analyzed this, which makes sense.

Simon chatted with Famick Jensen who came over and saw Brian de Palma and Robert Radford appearing at the backstage entrance when he specially called to invite him to take the initiative to welcome him. .

Embracing the two separately, and after greeting, Simon smiled and asked: "Brian, and Bob, have you seen that script?"

Brian de Palma and Robert Redford have suffered a bit in the past year.

The "vanity bonfire" that Palma put a lot of energy not only made a bad comment, but the box office did not splash any water."Havana" starring Radford at the end of last year was a box office defeat, and Universal also lost a lot of money for this.

Simon has never forgotten the help the two gave him in "Rola Run". At that time, the three named executive producers, David Giller, is still a long-term contracted producer under Daenerys Entertainment. People, the most recent job was to be one of the producers of "Terminator 2".

Therefore, without two people talking, Simon took the initiative to help them pay attention to some scripts after the box office failed last year.

I soon found a piece called "The Peachy Deal" that talked about a controversial topic of "would you give a million dollars to lend your wife to a billionaire?"

The copyright of the original novel of "Peach Trade" is in the hands of Paramount. Simon found out that he quickly negotiated with Paramount and finalized it as the first cooperative film of both parties.

The "Peachy Deal" in memory happens to be the starring Robert Redford, the heroine is Demi Moore, or the top ten boxing movie of the year. Although Brian de Palma is not the original director, such a story theme is simply suitable for Palma.
