Chatty Hollywood

? "I see!"

Charlize is a film practitioner after all. After hearing Charlotte’s analogy, she completely understood her husband’s intention——

"So, you want to use various business layouts in reality to increase your net worth while also establishing various ways to obtain mana, right?"

"That's right."

Charlotte nodded,

"And Samantha, or Sadako, is the key to this new "peripheral" path!"

——Who makes the aura of this world become thinner and thinner!

Charlotte sighed inwardly.

In the final analysis, all he did was not only to improve himself in spells, but also to retain the ability to cast spells.

After all, he didn't know if the mana he had collected so far would be enough if the sense of the end of the world in this world worsened.

——To a certain extent, Charlotte is like a farmer who detects the signs of a famine in advance and tries every means to store more food before the famine becomes more serious.

In this case, he will not miss any opportunity to increase his magic power.

"But even if you enhance Samantha's power to the extent you need, if she wants to be attached to every Netflix DVD like in the movie, she still needs some special rituals, right?"

Charlize didn't have a clear feeling about Charlotte's hidden worries. However, she still discovered some problems through her knowledge of magic.

"So, do you want to use your status as a major shareholder of Netflix to add Samantha's attachment ritual to their DVD acquisition process?"

"Almost! But it's not that troublesome."

Charlotte explained,

"Actually, I only need to visit Netflix's DVD storage warehouse, and I can quietly set up a magic circle so that Samantha can quickly complete the attachment."

"...Well, you have money and mana, so you can really do whatever you want."

Charlize shrugged.

"But Netflix doesn't have just one DVD warehouse, right?"

"Can I visit a few more!"

Charlotte doesn't care about authenticity;

"It is the right of the major shareholders to check the operating conditions of the joint-stock companies. Besides, I don't need to go to all the warehouses to do this kind of thing myself - Samantha will complete the follow-up work herself."

"You mean-"

"—It's like the spread of the flu."

Charlotte explained,

"Like Blockbuster, Netflix is ​​a large DVD rental company. Even if it is subscribed through the Internet, in order to scientifically reduce operating costs, their DVDs will still be constantly transferred between warehouses."

"This means that as long as you let Samantha "contaminate" a part of it, she can gradually achieve the goal of "contaminating" the entire warehouse with the help of Netflix's internal transfer?"

Charlize understood;

"It's just like the spread of diseases is faster and wider due to various modern modes of transportation."

"That's it."

Charlotte nodded, acknowledging Charlize's understanding.

——In fact, if the current hardware and technical conditions of the Internet were not supported, Charlotte would not need to work hard to do this kind of thing.

——When streaming media technology developed around 2005, and more and more movies and television works were available for online viewing, he could have Samantha directly invade the servers of those online video companies to "pollute" them.

The efficiency is much faster than now.

However, it was a bit late at that time.

You know, when the online video industry develops safely, 2008 will not be far away...

**********

Of course, whether she is prepared for danger in times of peace or not greedy enough, Charlotte’s Netflix plan is still going ahead.

However, just like a movie always develops DVD revenue after earning as much box office as possible, it will take time for him to strengthen "Samantha" to a certain extent and help him obtain mana.

During this time, he still had a lot of things to do——

"In order to highlight the feeling of a dream, we need to use more iMax lenses!"

While directing the filming of "Inception" on the set, Charlotte whispered her requirements to Jerrock, CEO of iMax.

As before when filming "Sherlock Holmes", Charlotte still hopes to use a large number of iMax lenses in "Inception".

As the largest shareholder and chairman of iMax, his request will naturally be met.

In fact, everyone at iMax is now very impressed and satisfied with Charlotte, the chairman.

After all, the development of iMax technology played a big role in his filming of "Sherlock Holmes".

——After that, iMax technology, which was originally mainly used in the fields of scientific research and teaching, was suddenly taken seriously by Hollywood production companies.

Several major companies have launched plans to shoot iMax movies, which not only provides iMax with more income, but also increases iMax's stock price.

And these are all brought by Charlotte.

Therefore, this time, when Charlotte said she wanted to shoot another commercial blockbuster and use iMax technology, iMax company immediately welcomed it with both hands. As the CEO, Jerrock even came over personally.

"The previous shooting of "Sherlock Holmes" has greatly improved our technology, and now our iMax camera is even more powerful."

Jerrock explained to Charlotte,

"But correspondingly, the weight of the camera is also——"

"——I understand this!"

Charlotte waved her hand,

"As long as it works! The most important thing is to achieve the visual effect I want."

In fact, this was one of the purposes of Charlotte’s acquisition of iMax during the Internet bubble two years ago——

As an important force in technological innovation in the future film industry, iMax company can provide a lot of technical support to Charlotte's films.

——Of course, as iMax technology is accepted by Hollywood, there is no doubt that acquiring this company can indeed make money.

But besides that——

"How is the research on 3D conversion technology for movies going?"

Charlotte asked him about another purpose of acquiring iMax.

Unlike true 3D movies that use 3D cameras from the beginning and are shot in 3D, 3D conversion technology is a pseudo-3D technology——

The method is to convert some ordinary 2D movies into 3D versions through post-production technology and many processing methods including cutouts.

Although the 3D movies produced by this method are far inferior to those shot with 3D cameras and specially designed for 3D scenes, they still have a certain 3D feel.

In Charlotte's original time and space, when 3D movies were just emerging, such movies were very popular.

However, that is more for making money——

After all, after the rise of 3D movies, ticket prices were twice as high as ordinary movies for a long time. Not to mention the 3D gimmick itself...

In short, in Charlotte's original time and space, this kind of post-conversion pseudo-3D movie defrauded money for a while, and then gradually receded amidst the curses of the audience.

However, in this time and space, after Charlotte acquired the iMax company, she immediately asked them to research 3D and post-production 3D technology.

This is not to cheat money...
