American Fortune Life

You must have played this game, on your phone.

But you should never play it now, on your phone.

When you think about it, it should still not pass the level.

In the game world, clearing levels is a sign of a game master, but there are games that can never end, such as Tetris, and there must be games that any master will definitely be able to GAME OVER.

And the most classic among them is Snake. In the late 1990s, with the Nokia mobile phone whirlwind sweeping the world, Snake was a must-die game. Who made this snake greedy!

But this small game, which always has only one ending in GAME OVER, may be the game with the most players in the world.

If you want to choose a game to represent Nokia, it must be "Snake". Nokia also relied on the game "Snake" to set off a frenzy of mobile games. The sales volume of Nokia 3310 is also inseparable The credit for opening the greedy snake.

As the game with the largest distribution in the world, Snake is not as dazzling as today's mobile games, but it is enduring and loved by players. The secret of its success is actually very simple-simple games.

This is also what Andy values ​​the most, and it is also the main reason why he will do everything possible to obtain the copyright.

Where does Snake belong?

Perhaps even Nokia itself needs to dig through all the copyright and patent documents to know the truth. However, the answer is quite surprising. Snake does not belong to Nokia, but belongs to Finn Ta, a design engineer in the user interaction software development department of Nokia. Nelly Amantu.

The birth of the greedy snake may really be regarded as a whim.

"As the developer of Snake, Tanelli Amanto was very surprised that we would pay millions of dollars to buy out the copyright of this game. He told me that this was actually a sweet misunderstanding. His hobbies are Traditional desktop games are not electronic games. So when the Nokia 6110 product project team asked him to develop a small game for mobile phones, he couldn't help wondering if the company had made a mistake. But he was also very happy to accept the challenge at the time.

To be honest, if it wasn't for my appearance, he really wouldn't have thought of the copyright issue of this game. As an unemployed person who has just been laid off, this money has helped him a lot, haha. . . "

On the phone, Carl laughed quite proudly. Only Andy knew that Carl’s pride was aimed at the developer of “Snake”. After all, based on what Carl knew about himself, he was willing to spend millions to buy a simple The game can't be any simpler, definitely because the value of this game will be more excavated in your own hands.

There is no way, anyone who is familiar with him knows that he is a person who can't afford it early.

"Since "Snake" already belongs to me, I can't continue to let Nokia take advantage of me. You set up a lawyer team in Finland and take Nokia to court. I need to protect my interests from being violated!" Ann Di made the decision to touch porcelain almost without any psychological burden.

"Well, I guessed that after buying the copyright, it was just the beginning." Hearing Andy's arrangement, Carl was also mentally prepared.

"Aren't you happy to let you escape the summer in Finland with public funds?" Andy complained angrily.

"Hehe, don't I still have a lot of work to do? The promotion of "The Ninth District" will be released in August, and there are several film projects in preparation for the coming year. They are almost about to start filming."

Carl is indeed a busy man now,

Since he became the head of Focus Films, a subsidiary of Universal Pictures, he has not only annexed the spun-off Weinstein Films, but also took advantage of Andy's opportunity to reorganize and integrate Smith Media Group to directly annex the US$150 million Logue Pictures, another subsidiary of Universal Pictures.

Now the scale of Focus Films has even surpassed that of Peak Entertainment, and this company mainly produces and distributes low-cost high-quality or less popular niche films as well as low-cost action and horror films, and has become an alternative source. Miramax is the largest independent film company in Hollywood.

The current Karl can really be said to be a veritable Hollywood 'big man'.

"I didn't ask you to stay in Finland for a long time. I mainly thought that if Nokia wanted to seek a settlement, you could make things easier there. Of course, if they don't respond, just hand it over to the attorney. It won't take you too long."

To put it bluntly, Andy didn't intend to really go to court with Nokia, but just to make a fortune, and then re-discuss the authorization of the game copyright. He only wanted money, not anger.

"Understood, I know what to do. I will talk to the local media and inform them, I hope they will be smarter." Carl is a cunning and wretched vampire, so he will naturally reveal it.

"Hehe." Andy chuckled in satisfaction, and then the two chatted about Michael Jackson for a while. Although Carl sighed, he didn't care much.

In fact, the attitude shown by Carl is the attitude of the vast majority of Americans towards Michael Jackson. To be honest, most Americans don’t like Jackson. CNN’s early survey showed that more than 60% of Americans hate Michael Jackson. He, to put it more bluntly, is not favored by the vast majority of white Americans. The attitude towards him is also that some people regard him as a god, and some people regard him as a devil.

Who can imagine that MJ has great influence in the world, but suffers from extreme injustice in the United States. . .

As for why, I can’t really understand why, but now it’s like the whole of America is mourning the loss of him, and it’s really a bit false. In short, the world is like this, some people are sincerely sad, some are hypocritical, and some are indifferent , and more people are joining in the fun. . .

"Good morning, boss."

"Good morning, sit down, tell Tori what to drink." Andy stopped the pen signing the document, and said to NBC CEO Plepler who rushed into the office with a smile, and then continued to sign.

After signing the rest of the documents, Andy covered the pen, closed the folder, handed it to the little assistant at the side, looked at Plepler with a smile and asked: "What happy things happened to you?" It made you so happy."

"Hehe, there is nothing to be happy about, but before I came here, I just received a 'confirmed' message from CBC Radio, saying that Michael Jackson is actually not dead!

He also said that this is the prelude to the London concert in July, the most exciting concert of Resurrection. Tell everyone not to be sad, the London concert will appear in the form of mourning Michael Jackson, and then when bidding farewell to the body, the concert of the sudden dangerous journey will remember that Jackson will jump out in a mummy costume, and no one but this king I won't come up with such a way to come back, just wait and see the excitement.

It's crazy, I don't talk about journalistic ethics at all, and I really dare to say and do anything in order to get a job! "

Hearing Plepler's sarcasm and complaints, Andy wasn't too surprised. After all, he had already experienced it once. Back then, as a melon-eating audience, he discussed it with other people in a serious manner. Hey, the era of entertainment to death, Don't make fun of anyone. Just as NBC TV broadcast the documentary of all the secret court proceedings of being charged and tried in Santa Barbara County that year.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly nonsense to talk about so-called morality with the media!

"Boss, this year's 61st American TV Primetime Emmy Awards, our station's "30 Madness" received a total of 22 nominations, including Best Comedy Series, and AMC's "Mad Men" won 16 this year. nominations, including Best Drama Series.

Also, the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games relayed by our TV station was shortlisted for Best Director of Variety, Music and Comedy Special; Best Mixing of Variety and Musical Special; Best Special Program; Best Short Play, Film, Technical Director , photography producer and other four awards. "

"Hehe, this is a bit of a surprise. It seems that nearly 900 million US dollars to buy the exclusive broadcasting rights of the Beijing Olympic Games in the United States is not in vain!" Andy was a little surprised when he heard the news, and sighed with a smile.
