Chereads / Rebirth of the American Tyrant / Chapter 77 - Chapter 78

Chapter 77 - Chapter 78

Here's a revised version with improved English:

Bruce Lee's gangster films are not in William White's immediate plans. The current cultural backdrop isn't ideal, and gangster film effects are subpar.

If a gangster film were produced now, critics would accuse it of imitating "The Godfather," rendering it ineffective.

In Hollywood, "Infernal Path" is already at a high level, possibly beyond the comprehension of the general audience. Didn't the Chinese version get an Oscar nod? That's genuinely Oscar-worthy.

The undercover operation in "Infernal Path" is more realistic than in "Speed Shock." The movie's portrayal of the community boss as an idiot is amusing. In reality, an undercover nearly assumed a leadership position, prompting the FBI to close in. This individual only becomes interesting when elevated to a leadership role.

Sending all the gang members directly to prison? That's quite amusing.

The undercover work demonstrated in the film is of high quality, far from the extravagant scenarios depicted in movies. To avoid embarrassing situations, the FBI has to intervene and prevent the undercover from rising too high.

William White has no plans for "Police School" next year. Instead, he intends to turn this movie into a New Year's card model, with potential star guest appearances later on.

This marks White Films' first movie, laying the groundwork for landmark productions through charity initiatives and carefully crafted plots.

Current business trips are focused on the summer season, with a potential surprise release at year-end. This movie follows a three, six, nine formula, ensuring profitability. Its lifespan is estimated to be no longer than three years, and it won't be revisited afterward.

William White won't be the sole director for this film. Having only one director in a company would be a joke in Hollywood.

He has a movie concept in mind, "Agent Bean." It promises not only to be a good movie but also to poke fun at certain individuals. A Bean version of 007 could outshine the genuine 007. If successful, a cowboy version might be in the future.

"Linda, please inform Rowan Atkinson that there's a movie in March for which we'd like him to star. Is that appropriate to ask?"

"Sure, boss. Anything else?" the secretary asked with her big, blinking eyes.

William White feels exasperated. With her petite frame, she might get into trouble. Well, she has been late recently.

"Cough, prepare a cup of coffee."

The disappointed little secretary left, and William White didn't pay much attention. As the saying goes in China, "Rabbits don't eat the grass around their burrows." It's reasonable; after all, burrow grass is often poisonous. Better to resist temptation.

Rowan Atkinson is naturally delighted. The secretary was clear; he's the lead.

With White Pictures achieving consecutive box office hits, the appeal is evident. He attended when it was on the house. While not his preferred comedy style, it's undeniably a blockbuster.

In Hollywood, news soon spread about the possibility of a sequel to "The Devil."

Although seemingly ludicrous, upon reflection, it makes sense. The three-day box office figures speak volumes. Unless William White is foolish, a sequel is imminent.

Everyone expects him to make a sequel, but nobody anticipated a script so soon.

It appears that "Police School" doesn't suffer from a lack of scripts. It's not a rushed production; this intellectual property clearly has a long life cycle.

Announcing the shooting plan in advance is a wise move. William White is a part of Hollywood and doesn't want to create conflicts.

In Hollywood, there's a tacit agreement among giants. Major productions are released with at least a two-week gap. Avoiding dog-eat-dog scenarios benefits everyone; no one benefits from a knife fight.

If Superman loses to 007, what's the point? Both outcomes are damaging, and no one benefits. Instead of watching two movies, audiences are likely to choose just one.

This era belongs to TV stations. TVs are becoming more affordable, and their widespread adoption is accelerating. Soon, they'll be a staple in every household.

Many blamed Hollywood's decline on TV programs. With the advent of TVs, people seemed unwilling to leave their living rooms.

However, this doesn't seem to be the case now. If a movie is compelling enough, audiences are still willing to watch it.

With William White's plan, everyone is adhering to the rules. Regardless of how entangled the giants are, they must accept the reality of a new giant in Hollywood.

Not everyone may accept it, but schedules are out, and anyone unconvinced can put it to the test.

Unlike traditional filmmakers, these individuals also excel in the software industry. The use of Macs is expanding, and official agencies are buying in bulk.

This unexpected change has annoyed Big Mac, as Apple can't deliver on time. The U.S. factory is unreliable; if business is booming, they increase prices. Otherwise, timely supply is impossible.

Looking at White Software's adapter card, when they guarantee delivery, Christmas can still work if the price is right.

Initially ridiculed, now met with bitter smiles, White Software is the most reliable. It's effortlessly raking in money.

William White is responsible for design; the company is making money on its own. It's not impossible to sell it independently. Just offer the money. He isn't involved in production.

Commercially speaking, it's straightforward. Official institutions' products, however, are causing trouble. It's not impossible to OEM, but there are still restrictions.

Local companies in the U.S. enjoy some protection. Car electronics and computers are somewhat sensitive. Small computers still face many restrictions.

Just assembling; do they truly believe Europe and foot basins can't do it?

Semiconductors in Europe are competitive; they have excellent memory technology. If not for various restrictions, the U.S. might struggle against them.

Due to hardware lag, software hasn't fully demonstrated its strength. Until Big Blue PC's release, everyone worked independently without a unified standard.

William White's estimate is correct; his company is excluded. Big Blue is still stubbornly following its own path.

Companies of this size don't care about short-term gains and losses. Although minicomputer sales have declined, mainframe demand is growing, ensuring continued profits.

After concluding affairs in Los Angeles, William White plans to take a holiday. Christmas is essential; skipping it would be useless. Progress in the last two days of shooting has been slow. This group's hearts have already left; they're just going through the motions.
