Intel began to voice complaints about the Big Blue, and White Software clearly sensed the danger. Since the Big Blue opted for Microsoft, it's only logical for people to prepare in advance.
White Software's plans remain a mystery. Although one might assume they would directly produce PCs, they seem to be revisiting the original question. Are they aiming to complete the entire industrial chain?
Facing this uncertainty, the blue giant is somewhat puzzled. They can't comprehend the exact intentions behind this operation.
Nevertheless, giants don't concern themselves with the choices of ants. What about larger ants?
Microsoft finds itself at the forefront of the storm. Even if there's controversy within IBM about this choice, how did a relatively unknown company land such a significant order?
In the realm of fairness, whether you're using one system or another, the primary difference lies in the degree of equity. The larger the city, the higher the degree of fairness. However, if you're in a smaller city, certain jobs might require connections, and beyond that, too much discussion might get checked by the water meter. Even if my water meter is outside the door, do gas meters still exist?
Ha ha!
While a framework agreement has been signed, implementation isn't happening overnight. Even for just a chip department, it's a considerable undertaking.
The employees in the chip department show little resistance. They haven't been neglected, and it's not something that just happened overnight; otherwise, there wouldn't be the drama of design geniuses collectively departing.
William White doesn't have the time to pay much attention to them; his crew is ready, and filming is set to begin.
Even though it's a comedic version of 007, the scenes are quite grand—far from the penny effects that can easily solve problems.
The pinnacle of special effects, of course, is the Industrial Light & Magic of Lucas. With the success of Star Wars, nobody doubts their capabilities.
"Three million? Are you kidding, George? It's just four sets of shots; I think one million is the maximum. Are you planning on making me reimburse the Treasure Fighters for special effects?"
"No, no, dear William, my special effects company has been losing money, and good special effects are never cheap."
"Haha, you're kidding. I'm willing to pay 20 million. How about Industrial Light & Magic becoming mine?"
Lucas is undoubtedly a savvy businessman. Three million for a movie might be reasonable, but this guy is clearly flexing.
"George, I'll accept a maximum of 1.05 million. If that's too much, I'll go for some special effects for fifty cents."
"What, fifty cents? What's that?"
"Haha, it's a simple PS animation with low cost and rough image quality."
"No, no, the minimum is 2.8 million. The difficulty is too high."
"I'm making a comedy; it's impossible to accept this kind of quotation. Sorry, I'll have to find a different special effects company."
George Lucas is genuinely afraid that this guy will snatch away his business. His people have already informed him that the other party is highly professional and undoubtedly part of the industry.
The ensuing negotiation with the other parties involved adding a group of shots, and the final agreement settled at 1.8 million.
William White is quite exasperated with this old man's money-grabbing tactics. He's undoubtedly a big spender now, and no quote will ever seem cheap.
"How's his movie?" Spielberg inquired. Although he's about to embark on his own schedule, he still cares about the other party's film's quality.
"It's really something. It's definitely beyond 007. Although the space isn't vast, as he said, it's just a comedy."
"You notice how his costs keep increasing. He still talks about making cheap movies. This is approaching $15 million, plus advertising costs, already at the standard of a large-scale production."
"I have a feeling that he's played enough comedy films and might want to shoot an action movie. This guy is truly incredible."
"Play, well, he does have the qualifications for being willful. Progress is indeed too fast. I believe it won't be long before those old guys catch on."
"Haha, they're already tearing their hair out now. Warner will undoubtedly jump in; this time it's a real mess."
The IT industry is bewildered. Why did the troublemaker venture into making movies? Rather than stirring up Hollywood, he's shooting directly in Europe.
Seated in his super-luxury private jet, he gathered the crew and left.
You call this a small production?
Don't be ridiculous. The Treasure Hunters, starting shooting around the same time, didn't have this grandeur. Yet, their budget is over $30 million, undoubtedly a big-budget production. Lao Mei doesn't hold back; if you have money, you have to flaunt it everywhere. If you only earn money, people will call you Grande.
London, as the primary location, is also considering the film's background design. You always let agents work in the United States. Everyone is an ally. What does it mean by sending a bunch of agents?
Agent movies inherently come with certain tropes, always boasting about super agents saving the world. One can't help but wonder whether these are praises or ironies. Everyone's life is too perilous. If something good or bad happens, aren't we all affected? Living near water is like wanting to live in water.
William White's Agent Bean completely subverts this notion, and all elite agents are written off from the start, leaving only an intern agent who walked in through the back door.
High-tech spy weapons?
They're all flashy and dilapidated. The experiment went well, and the chain fell off at a crucial moment.
What's the most reliable weapon?
Only a baseball bat.
Not to mention the effect of the shooting; Rowan Atkinson has been tenderized by Ray's outer focus, gaining a new understanding of the boss's shamelessness.
This script has truly rekindled his passion. What does the director struggle to convey?
Is it essential?
Don't strive for a perfect posture. It's normal to get angry. It's better to watch with amusement. This is just a satirical comedy.
Well, the ending is quite happy; the villains are punished, the heroes save the world, albeit in their uniquely goofy way.
"Ca, cough, that expression of yours isn't seductive. The eyes I mentioned don't involve collars. Pay attention."
"Camera, a machine follows her eyes, and, I say it again, don't try to find a camera or director, there is no such thing here."
Sharon Stone, who has always existed as a vase, was dizzy. She had no such experience, and no one had taught her this. A little girl who was slightly green did not understand how to release her temptation.
"Okay, don't go see Rowan Atkinson, you can imagine that I'm beside you, what are you trying to do."
William White is also a fight, almost teaching her acting hand in hand. Everyone, including Rowan Atkinson, is very envious of this girl. How good luck you are. The director can still teach you the experience.
Some guys with bad ideas are also vomiting. Someone on the other is different. Such a silly and white sweetness actually has this kind of luck.
But everyone admits that the director has indeed developed a piece of pure jade, this girl's future is definitely not bad.
