Game Development Giant

Facing the question from Yin Byung-xi, who was sent by Samsung, Jester didn't want to answer too many questions. Of course, he knew that choosing Anaheim as the address of the theme park would definitely make Disney unhappy, but then again, Why would he want to make Disney happy?

Therefore, Jester asked Yin Bingxi in return, and the trust manager from Samsung just smiled and did not continue to insist on his opinion.

For him, it is his duty to make suggestions, but the one who really has the decision-making power is Jester himself.

"Actually, choosing the location here is just a statement to show that we are not just making a fuss this time, we are the kind of people who want to become their real opponents." Jester said with great confidence. What Yin Byung-si said, who was somewhat disapproving, was also meant for people at Disney who were not listening now, but would definitely want to listen in the future.

With that said, Jester asked Yin Bingxi again: "Disney, what do they think of our actions?"

Yin Byung-xi shrugged indifferently. He went to middle school and university in the United States. Although he returned to South Korea to work later, his demeanor, habits and language are no different from a Korean who grew up in the United States: "It's just me. From what I learned, they didn’t take us seriously at all. They had no shortage of challengers before, but these challengers all failed without exception. Therefore, in their eyes, we are just overestimating our capabilities. Just one of the challengers." "Is that so?"

Jester did not express his opinion. He just opened a document. This was a survey conducted by ABC TV station at the beginning of this year. The content of the survey was: Who is the most influential person in your mind? The answers are not limited to various movies, animations and games. The highest ranked answer is Sheriff Balotelli, a game character from Mars Entertainment, and the second ranked one is Disney’s Mickey Mouse.

Such a survey actually doesn't mean anything, at least it doesn't mean that Sheriff Balotelli really has a higher status and greater influence than Mickey Mouse in the hearts of all Americans.

Just to be able to explain. In the current environment, among a certain age group, especially in the minds of children and teenagers, Balotelli’s influence may be slightly higher, but the most important thing is his background. Disney has spent decades Time to create the image of Mickey Mouse is incomparable to me. For me, the image of Balotelli has just begun to be created.

others……

After Jester thought for a while, he still said: "Although our current experience in this area is for Disney. It may only be a toddler, but we have a lot in common with Disney. They can pass animations one after another. Movies continue to expand the influence of their characters, and then use these characters to build amusement parks to attract tourists. We are the same." This time Yin Bingxi nodded, he just didn't agree with Jester's idea of ​​the subject. He is very supportive of the idea of ​​locating the park near Disneyland. The reason is what Jester said just now. Mars Entertainment and Disney do have a lot in common, especially their audience, which is basically the same group of people.

"In fact, Disney has also been developing games recently. One of their games with Bugs Bunny as the protagonist is plagiarizing our "Balotelli's Adventures in Another World". It is also sold on Nintendo NES, but our legal The department has filed a lawsuit, and basically we won." Jester laughed and told an anecdote about Disney. This is just a small thing, but obviously Jester also thought of other things.

"It's rude to come and not reciprocate."

Jester said this, hearing Jester say this. Yin Bingxi was a little confused. He frowned and asked doubtfully: "Mr. Li, do you mean to make a cartoon?" There was a strong sense of distrust in the tone of this sentence, which to a certain extent meant After noticing the Korean supervisor's attitude, he didn't think it was a good idea.

But Jester shook his head and said with a smile: "Actually, Mars Entertainment is a specialized animation production company. We have been producing cartoons in the past few years. The famous ones include "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and the recent "Pocket Monsters". "Monster" is also our production."

Yin Bingxi was a little surprised by this. He did not do well in his previous work. He only knew that Mars Entertainment was a game production company. He did not expect that this company actually had a branch specializing in animation production, and these two animations The movie is very famous, and he has seen it, but he didn't expect it to be produced by Mars Entertainment. He just thought that Mars Entertainment purchased the copyright of the cartoon and then produced the game.

Jester didn't want to explain too much, nor did he want to go into too much detail. After all, this had nothing to do with building a theme park.

"But I'm not talking about this because of cartoons. I also have a film production company, which used to be owned by Mars Entertainment, but is now independent. In the past, it mainly produced game-themed movies. I can say it's pretty good. The most famous film is "Avengers". I don't know if you've heard of it. When the person in charge of this company came to see me a few days ago, he mentioned a person to me. I don't know if you heard of it. heard about it."

"who?"

Yin Bingxi was a little strange, why did Jester Li suddenly ask him this question.

"Michael Clayton." Jester quickly said a name.

Hearing the name Jester said, a look of understanding quickly appeared on Yin Bingxi's face. He graduated from New York University and studied film and television production. After graduation, he worked in film production in the United States for a period of time. , it was during this period that he served as Michael Clayton's assistant.

"Yes, I am indeed serious about Mr. Michael Clayton. He is a very..." Yin Bingxi nodded readily, as if he wanted to use a word to describe it, but he might not be able to find one at the moment. Appropriate words, he could only temporarily stop what he was about to say, and after thinking for a few seconds, he continued, "...interesting person."

Jester waved his hand. He was not interested in what kind of person Michael Clayton was. What interested him was that when he met the head of his film production company recently, he heard this The person in charge said that Michael Clayton is currently writing a novel about resurrecting dinosaurs through cloning, and about half of the novel has been completed.

The person in charge of film and television work under him had the opportunity to see the first part of this unfinished book because he had attended a private banquet hosted by Michael Crichton.

In Jester's ears and in the narration of his person in charge, this is an incredibly imaginative and extremely interesting book.

Moreover, judging from the look in the person's eyes when he said this, he clearly wanted to encourage Jester to obtain the film and television rights to this book.

When Jester heard his person in charge talking about this matter, a light flashed in his eyes. He remembered a very famous movie-"Jurassic Park". I know a little bit about the movie, but not much. In addition to knowing that the director of this film is Spielberg, the king of commercial films, I also know that it is adapted from a best-selling novel.

Could it be this one?

Jester was noncommittal, but from the accounts of his subordinates, he felt that the name Michael Clayton was interesting and familiar. He could confirm that he had never heard of this name in his previous life, so he turned over After looking at the information or files he had seen recently, he accidentally saw a piece of information about Michael Clayton in a document just sent by Samsung, about Yin Bingxi's file.

It seems that Yin Bingxi is extremely proud of this experience of working under Michael Clayton, and he wrote about this experience in great detail.

Then, Jester asked people to investigate who Michael Clayton was. Unexpectedly, when he saw some of the information disclosed by the other party, he found out that the other party was really in the film industry, screenwriting industry, and even writer. A great person in the world.

But Jester really wanted to get "Jurassic Park", not entirely because of the movie, but mainly because he thought that simulating dinosaurs was indeed very suitable for his game theme park. Of course, in "Jurassic Park" After "Jurassic Park", there will be many such places with dinosaur-themed amusement parks. If you want to reap the maximum benefits from the global popularity of "Jurassic Park", you must tie the other party firmly. On his own chariot.

And there is no better way to bundle interests than to directly obtain the copyright of this book.

"An interesting person?" Jester nodded. He looked at Yin Bingxi and asked thoughtfully, "Are you still in contact with him now? If possible, can you arrange for me to meet him? , there are some things that need to be discussed with him."

Jester did not say why he wanted to meet Michael Clayton, and Yin Bingxi did not ask. He is a smart man. He knew that if Jester wanted to tell him, he would tell him naturally without asking. His, after hearing Jester's words, he just nodded.

Then, he didn't think too much, but said directly: "When I was sent here some time ago, I visited him. He lives in Los Angeles. Now he doesn't have any work tasks. I went to visit him. He was writing a book at home, but I didn’t ask carefully, he just talked to me casually, it was probably a science fiction novel about cloning.”
